The so-called Hebrew means "coming across the river". Because according to the Bible and other historical records, the Jewish patriarch Abraham led his people to cross the Mesopotamian city of Ur in the Mesopotamian basin.
Euphrates and Jordan rivers migrated to Europe.
Of course, compared to the mainstream public opinion monopolized by Europe and the United States in later generations, the tragic role of the victims of World War II created in long-term narratives, and the inherent impression that they value education, love learning, and have successful people in large numbers; the Hebrews of this era are more
Much more colorful.
That's right, in most cases of this era, the world's impression of the Hebrews is the colorful black color requested by the brainless Party A's father in later generations. Because according to the teachings of this era, the Hebrew group
Relying on maternal lineage and inheritance of faith.
Even if you apostate halfway or regret it and convert to other faiths, you are still a Hebrew in the flesh. This has caused the Hebrews who have been displaced for a long time and even suffered persecution to not inherit the faith.
Cut off, but it also caused the good and the bad among them.
Just like the victims of the Nazis in World War II, there are of course a large number of middle- and lower-class Jews who were persecuted and squeezed to the last minute in concentration camps in various countries and could not escape the massacre; but there are also upper-class Jews who rely on special connections to become leaders.
"Honorary Aryan" guest of honor.
Because they can act as a link to connect the lighthouse countries on the other side of the ocean, those Jewish plutocrats called compatriots, and instigate and bribe politicians behind the scenes to create enough public opinion and trends; and in "business behavior", for ***
The camp grew and wreaked blood transfusions.
And in this time and space, the reason why they are particularly hated by others is that in the industry and commerce they are mainly engaged in, they are too good at clinging to groups and being too involved. So once they enter a certain industry, they will quickly recruit friends and relatives.
, follow up together and quickly form scale and cost advantages.
But this advantage is to eliminate competitors in the industry, form enough scale and monopoly, and sacrifice the majority of ordinary local people with fake products. For example, when local bakers add sawdust and straw stalks; they dare
Lime and chalky soil were mixed in to gain weight…
The so-called "conscience" and moral limits of free capital, which grow wildly without any control or restriction, are also particularly prominent in this group. Because the principles they praise usually only exist in small circles that agree with each other, and do not include those who
The vast presence of non-voters.
It is also because they are good at courting powerful people and good at pleasing and catering to local rulers; and strive for corresponding expediency and convenience for themselves; and rulers are also willing to use their means and experience to exploit people under their rule more efficiently.
people; so the two hit it off almost immediately.
Anyway, as the Hebrews who were directly involved, they had already shouldered enough infamy and guilt. Therefore, when there was a famine or financial crisis, the lords would suddenly turn their backs and launch repeated persecution campaigns, confiscating their properties.
It can also calm popular resentment.
The Hebrews who have suffered a loss will quickly learn lessons and continue to do the same tricks on the familiar path; just to seek shelter and cooperation partners, they will also climb up step by step... In the end, too
Become one of the most notorious cancers in the kingdom: the tax collector.
As one of the four major cancers of the kingdom, the history of tax collectors can even be traced back to the time when the Roman Empire ruled the eastern provinces and vassal countries. Whether they were Roman giants Caesar, Pompey or Crassus;
During the period of the province, many tax collectors were appointed.
The remnants from the ancient Kingdom of Israel were once the best among them. Therefore, the medieval Hebrews, who are their descendants, were also better than their masters and further promoted this ancient profession to the point of anger.
.
For example, when the Terrible Lord and the Burning Sun King co-reigned, a large number of noble territories and powers were reduced through the counter-rebellion war, and the main taxes in each province of the kingdom were brought under the control of the royal family; the kings of the past dynasties would also transfer the long-term interests of a certain place.
Short-term tax farming rights as a reward for relatives and close officials.
However, it is impossible for these high-ranking figures to work hard and lead a group of subordinates to collect taxes before they can enjoy the bustling banquets and entertainments in the capital. Therefore, after receiving the imperial edict, they will issue a letter of appointment.
Subcontract it to your trusted subordinates.
However, these trusted subordinates located in provincial and county towns will not easily leave relatively wealthy cities; therefore, certain taxes on the vast cities, towns, and villages are further subcontracted to local activities.
Businessmen, the one with the highest bid will get it.
Therefore, in the bidding for subcontracting at different levels, the group of Hebrew businessmen can always get the final bottom-level subcontracting rights at a price that is irresistible. Therefore, this becomes a disaster for the general public.
; Because the price of all this must be borne by them.
For businessmen to manage relationships, a large amount of money is needed to qualify for the auction; the deposit after bidding is also a large amount of money. However, those unruly and foolish women in towns and villages may not be willing to pay taxes obediently, so they need to be supported.
A tax-collecting force similar to mercenaries.
So, while the aristocratic manors and city officials were feasting and hunting, the common people in the countryside could only plead under the wolf-like claws of these tax collectors. But they could not change the fact that their homes were taken away.
The last grain, the last valuable thing.
Even men were tortured to death, and their wives and children were taken away to offset their taxes. This is because these low-level tax collectors, who are businessmen, naturally have various channels for discounting and cashing out to maximize their profits.
; and even divided into different grades and sold overseas as slaves.
In this matter, the Hebrew groups spread among the countries undoubtedly have more advantages in channels and resources. What is very ridiculous is that since the Arabs occupied Imberia and drove away Christianity
The nobility and the church also abolished local slavery.
However, due to the "efforts" of these tax collectors, slavery flourished in the kingdom in another disguised form. Therefore, during the May storm, the citizens of the capital, who had always disrespected the royal family and despised authority, were also full of deep hatred for it.
, and a wave of liquidation spontaneously set off.
However, they were able to destroy common Hebrew shops and businesses on the streets, cut off their hair and smear their naked bodies with asphalt, and parade them through the streets to vent their anger; but they were powerless against the bankers and wealthy businessmen hiding behind the scenes. Because the property owners
The National Guard is protecting them.
Even if there are some people who passionately want to stand up and direct their struggle against these behind-the-scenes groups that are inseparable from the corruption of the kingdom, they will be met by the National Guard in the capital on the grounds of protecting the sanctity of private property.
, and carry out suppression and dispersal.
Then, some of them had accidents or died unexpectedly. Either they were shot in the back by a stray bullet during the battle at the barricade; they slipped and drowned in the Seine after drinking, or they were depressed and couldn't think about it, and burned charcoal to commit suicide in the mansion.
in; died in a tavern fight.
Or simply full of classical tragic style, being assassinated by the enemy in the bathtub... Therefore, senior Rafaro, who was once a man of the hour in the capital city and had followed the waves of the times for several years, seemed to have noticed something.
Frustrated, he fled the capital.
Therefore, after the rise of the Free Army, it swept across several southwestern provinces. Although it may not deliberately target the Hebrew communities and business groups in these places. However, if some of them exist, as long as they can get in touch with the old nobles and kingdom officials, they will basically
It is an accurate result after one check.
Investigating these tax collectors and confiscating their homes is undoubtedly the fastest and most effective way to win people's hearts and publicize the ideas of the Free Army in a short period of time. Because, except for the original old nobles and kingdom officials, almost everyone in society
There is no class that does not dislike and resent them.
Therefore, in order to expand the influence and enhance the effect, the Free Army will even decide to return part of the inventory of these tax collectors to the victims after the execution, and then auction their properties to use the proceeds to provide compensation to the tax collectors and their families.
Those orphans and widows created by their minions.
Mainly, many orphanages were established to provide women with jobs in plantations, wineries, textile factories, clothing and quilt factories in Hukou. Later, when a certain production capacity was needed, the recruitment of local young women was expanded, but in the end, only room and board were included.
Even with such a meager salary, there are still people competing for it.
Therefore, when such a mature mechanism is put into operation, it is easy for locals along the way to form a set of potential interest groups that are closely related to the Free Army and have long-term intersection with each other. Therefore, this set of tried and tested combination punches; in Toulouse
Regions are no exception.
In fact, among the people who were most active in arresting and reporting these tax collectors, the most active ones were undoubtedly the members of the Cathar sect hiding in the countryside. On the one hand, there were doctrinal differences and opposition; on the other hand, it was Toulouse
This is due to the grudges left over from the history of the region.
In other words, during the Abigail Crusade, the subsequent suppressive movements of nobles in the past dynasties, and the conflicts between a large number of northern immigrants and locals, many ancestral family members could not escape the business network of these Hebrews.
, for sale to the North and overseas.
These thoughts only happened for a moment. Next, Jiang Tian turned his attention back to how to personally lead the team to quickly cut off the interior of the Holy Kingdom and take advantage of the chaos to extend into the tentacles in the southwest of the kingdom. However,...
Another group of business representatives who came from Marseille were left behind.
