Chapter 509 The sub-office wishes everyone a happy Spring Festival in advance and all the best
In fact, the process of sneaking into the city of Reims was smooth and without any surprises. As a city with an extremely ancient history, there are many ditches that have been used since the Roman era buried underground. Find one of the exits, and the rest
It cannot stop the excavation of "dimensional bubbles".
And when so many people suddenly appeared in the city like magic soldiers descending from heaven, a certain city guard captain who was still wavering became the most determined internal responder and protector; and the whole city gathered together.
The rising trials and executions also diverted most people's attention in disguise.
Therefore, it was no surprise when a steady stream of Free Army soldiers poured into the city, and with the cooperation of this captain, they quietly raided and opened the nearby city gate. And Jiang Tian was even in an extra mood.
Bring people to the square in the city center to observe the trial.
Although the ancient city of Reims has been successfully captured, the problems that Jiang Tian or the Free Army have to face have just begun. For example, at the last moment, they took advantage of the chaos and hid in the Notre Dame Cathedral, trying to use the sacred objects in it to resist
of, Archbishop Giovanni of the Southwest and his followers.
It's just that these holy objects passed down from ancient times may be effective when used to deal with aliens; but when used on normal humans, especially those heritage knights responsible for breaking down doors, they are basically not very useful. Therefore, they can quickly cut through the mess with a sharp knife.
suppressed their last resistance.
Even the efforts of some of them to buy time, set fire to the Cathedral of Our Lady, and commit self-martyrdom failed on the spot. However, the subsequent treatment of the captured Archbishop Giovanni and his followers was:
It took several meetings to decide.
The Free Army and the national salvation government, which have been on the right track, will no longer easily kill people casually; what's more, sometimes the method of direct physical destruction is not suitable for such religious disputes and contradictions; instead, it will make the other party successful.
, a self-motivated martyr plot.
Therefore, in the end, it was Jiang Tian who made the decision himself. The former archbishop Giovanni, who had committed major mistakes and crimes, and his cronies were exiled to the overseas provinces of Africa; in the border areas where pagans were mixed, they continued to use traditional
Go on a redemptive missionary tour.
This is also a method of disposal inherited by the Council of Nicaea and the Council of Ephesus in the Western Continent Church. The Arian, Neapolitan and other factions that were classified as heretics have enjoyed
Similar treatment; except that the Free Army is not worried about the future.
Because the overseas provinces of the Kingdom of Africa are now also one of the few remaining areas for the heretical Arian sect of the church. Therefore, Jiang Tian is very much looking forward to the fact that Giovanni, the archbishop of the Universal Church who was exiled in the past, will work with the local African sect.
Groups, what kind of sparks are produced when they collide.
However, fortunately, what Giovanni had done before this made this process simpler. Because of the need to convene an enlarged meeting of the Bishops' Conference of the Northwest Region to discuss countermeasures, the abbots and bishops from the surrounding provinces were summoned to Lanzhou.
Inside the city; there is no need to search again according to the map.
In fact, before this, Jiang Tian had no idea that such a figure existed; or in other words, he was not a serious Free Army spy; he was not even a peripheral or eyeliner for the development of the field company. This priest Giordano
, the only connection to the Free Army comes from Liberation Theology.
Therefore, he privately signed an internal order to restrict the use of these new companies full of religious fanaticism; to ensure the upper limit of the scale of their investment to avoid mutual infection of religious fanaticism; in turn, it would affect the regular troops of the Free Army, and even maintain surveillance and suppression
the power of.
And this also made Jiang Tian somewhat alert and reflective. The pros and cons of religious belief as a double-edged sword can also be seen from this. If you cannot control and weigh it properly, you will only be swayed by religious fanaticism.
And he was involuntarily involved in a catastrophic situation.
As a result, there was a series of subsequent events. Therefore, most of the church's accusations against him were simply a huge mistake. But surprisingly, according to the church's interrogation records, these torture and cross-examination processes,
Make him become more and more determined.
Then, there was no more. The newly formed Redemption Company, who couldn't wait to show their piety, attacked the rebellious city in an almost crazy manner; the priests and followers who incited the rebellion, as well as many potential supporters of the city's nobles and wealthy merchant families,
Hanged together from a street tree.
After completing the follow-up investigation and trial of those corrupt and fallen members within the church, we can fill the vacancies left behind and minimize the impact and impact of the church's general rectification on local order. There are also
Release those arrested Swornists.
In the surrounding provinces of Champagne, Ardennes, and Loire, riots and riots incited by individual clergy also broke out as expected. The most powerful ones even occupied a city with the cooperation of local nobles.
And known as the Holy Land Guards.
Therefore, the Free Army did not casually demobilize them and let them go back to their places freely, becoming potential factors of instability. Instead, they selected the best from them and formed more than a dozen new redemption companies; and then cooperated with the follow-up supplements.
Company, suppress and maintain local order nearby.
But then, these members of the Redemption Company were obviously still unsatisfied, and joined the suppression corps of the Free Army to purge local church organizations and old and new aristocratic forces; and what they were most passionate about was to hang up those high-ranking figures one after another.
die.
As a result, because of his behavior of treating believers while preaching, he soon gained a considerable reputation; at the same time, some children from well-to-do families were sent to serve as his apprentices, just to observe and learn his medical skills nearby;
Don't treat everyone equally.
From this, he also joined a certain study club that had some relationship with the Redemption Company, but his connection with the Free Army was limited to this. Later, he received news from his hometown that his brother was dying in the outbreak of the plague; he took the initiative to rush back to think about it.
We were about to see each other one last time, but by some strange combination of circumstances, we were a step late.
Because, according to the inheritance law of the kingdom, monks who are chartered to return to secular life also have the right to claim the division of family property; therefore, when someone from the Holy Land City of Reims heard about his reputation and sent a summons, Giordano's younger brother also
He did not hesitate to report his many crimes to the parish priest.
Due to some kind of chance, he got an annotated copy of "Liberation Theology" of unknown origin; and then, he began to study the theory that advocated "critical thinking on Christian practice based on the word of God."
Based on the basics, I took it as the truth and began to study it in depth.
Along with Archbishop Giovanni, a group of church leaders from the Northwest Region were quickly escorted south. This only temporarily solved the superficial problems in the city of Reims. But the Kingdom Church, which had suffered from long-standing shortcomings, could not replace a small church.
Changes and innovations can be made easily by poking at the people at the top.
In fact, after the scene of the burning scene, these so-called jihadi armies, composed of traditional believers and city guards, collapsed and disintegrated more completely than those of the clergy. Some even changed their stance and became the church
Insider whistleblower.
Representatives were selected from them to join the piety review committee subsequently formed by the Free Army. They were also members of the local church. They were obviously more knowledgeable about the shortcomings and problems within the church; they also had a realistic need for innovation and change/settlement of old accounts.
.
In fact, Archbishop Giovanni himself, who lived a simple life and was determined to rectify the church, did not hesitate to stand in the die-hard camp; the remaining members of the middle and upper levels of the church who came from aristocratic backgrounds committed
The list of culpable and broken precepts is too numerous to list.
Then, at the funeral, he successfully treated a guest who had an asthma attack, and also attracted the attention of the local mayor. After learning that he was a hospital monk from the church, he tried his best to persuade him to stay and sponsor him.
He preaches regularly at the church donated by his family.
After approving a series of official documents, Jiang Tian also received notifications from outside attendants again; as the original source of this series of events, Giordano, who had been tortured and burned by the church, after a short period of cultivation and
After treatment, I was finally able to come for an appointment.
However, as Giordano became more and more famous in his hometown, his younger brother, who had just inherited the family business, could not sit still for a long time. Especially when his wife heard that a certain noble wanted to ask him to return to secular life during the chat among the female family members.
After hearing the news about marrying off her daughter, her mentality completely collapsed.
Therefore, after such operations, the kingdom's holy land of Reims, which once boasted thousands of clergy and tens of thousands of jihadist defenders, now has less than a thousand clergy left, serving various religious sites and daily life.
Sacraments, minimum maintenance needs.
Therefore, teachers and students from seminaries and church schools from the southern control area, Avignon, Toulouse, Marseille and other places were also urgently summoned; they would be responsible for conducting Bible debates with the remaining local church members, and
Reorganization of the Federation of Bishops' Conferences of the North-West Region.
But no matter what, after undergoing the miracle of being burned on the spot, he is now the idol and spiritual symbol of those pious companies. To use the unseemly words of later generations, even though he was lonely and unknown before, he has already achieved success in his own way.
Live out the value of being united.
Later, Giordano, who was placed in a special wheelchair and his whole body was wrapped, was pushed in by a trainee attendant, and then quietly exited and closed the door. However, when Giordano saw Jiang Tian's
At that moment, he held up his body with excitement and seemed to want to stand up.
However, he was gently held down by an invisible force; he couldn't help but choked his voice and said: "Saint, you...". However, Jiang Tian interrupted him quietly and said: "I am not the saint you imagined.
He is just a person who has power and a mission to come to this world."
"I will follow your teachings, sir." However, Giordano suddenly realized something and slowly calmed down. Obviously, this saint thought freely. After all, even the Savior and the saints around him had

In addition, we may have irregular breaks during the Spring Festival. We apologize for this.
