In Cornwall Cathedral, as usual, many believers lined up and took the fruits of their hard work to pay tithes to the church. By the way, they also bought some indulgences to atone for the sins of their lives. , so that you can enter the kingdom of heaven after death.
"Order of the Governor of Hong Kong!"
"It is strictly forbidden for anyone to pay tithes to the church, and it is strictly forbidden for the church to collect any taxes from the people. No one needs to pay any taxes to the church or buy any money-making items. Anyone who violates the order will be beheaded!"
At this moment, a group of Ming soldiers rode to Cornwall Cathedral on tall horses, holding the latest Hong Kong Governor's Order signed by Tian Erniu in their hands, and read it out to the people who were queuing up to pay the tithe.
¡°That¡¯s great~¡±
¡°Finally no more tithing or buying indulgences.¡±
After hearing the order, many people shouted excitedly on the spot, immediately picked up their belongings and prepared to go home.
¡°You have to pay tithes on the food you have worked so hard to grow, and you have to pay tithes on the chickens, ducks, geese, etc. you raise. There are also bullshit indulgences. They are basically a means for the church to make money.
But there are still some devout believers standing there at a loss. They don't know whether it is the decree from the Governor's Mansion or the church that wants to listen. After all, this is how they have been coming.
"You can't do this~"
"Paying tithes is stipulated in the Bible. One-tenth of any person's harvest belongs to God. This is God's will. No one can violate it, otherwise they will be punished by God. , you will go to hell after death."
The commotion outside soon alerted the clergy inside the church, and a priest came out and said.
"snort!"
"Disrespect the governor's order! Kill!"
The leading Ming soldier looked at the other party and gave the order directly.
When the soldiers around him heard this, they immediately opened fire. As intensive gunfire rang out, all the church members who came to stop him were shot, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.
"Everyone, listen up, you can come to the church to worship in the future, but you do not need to and cannot pay any taxes to the church. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed without mercy!"
"Now, I announce the formal confiscation of the church's fields, manors, shops and other properties. The church is only allowed to retain the church and a small amount of land. The clergy must support themselves!"
After killing several disobedient clergy, the Ming soldiers led by the Ming army quickly began to seize the church's property and took over the church's fields, manors, shops, etc. to the Governor's Mansion.
"You heretics~"
"You are blaspheming, you are going to hell!"
Bishop Samuel, who rushed over in a hurry, saw the clergy lying in a pool of blood and couldn't help but roared: "People of God, what are you waiting for?"
"Are you just going to watch them blaspheme like this?"
"Take up the weapons in your hands to defend the glory of God and kill all these heretics!"
Hearing Samuel's words, the people around them all had confused looks in their eyes. Their long-term obedience to the church also made many people gather together tremblingly, holding hoes, axes, wooden pipes, etc. in their hands. .
"snort!"
"Put down your weapons immediately and get out of here!"
"Otherwise, don't worry, we will kill you without mercy!"
The leader of the Ming army was not afraid at all. With a few orders, they lined up neatly and aimed their muskets at the crowd who were about to riot.
"The Governor's Mansion is here for your own good. If you remain stubborn, you are seeking death."
"This is no longer Cornwall, England, this is Hong Kong of the Ming Empire. You must abide by my Ming laws from now on."
¡°People of God, do not be afraid!¡±
"Use your blood to defend the glory of God, use your actions to prove yourself, use your own blood to wash away your sins, and you can go to heaven after death!"
Samuel looked at the scene in front of him and continued to agitate.
Under his instigation, the eyes of the people around him began to turn red, and then no one knew who it was, and they started to rush towards the Ming army.
"snort!"
"Seeking death!"
The leader of the Ming army snorted coldly, waved the sword in his hand, and there was a burst of gunfire like fried beans.
 Yu.
Thousands of people who wanted to cause trouble were killed in this way, and the water in the harbor turned red.
"What an idiot!"
¡°It¡¯s not that you are not allowed to believe in God, it is just that you are not allowed to pay taxes to the church. In the final analysis, it is for everyone¡¯s benefit. Why should the fruits of this hard work be handed over to those clergymen.¡±
Jack witnessed this scene with his own eyes and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"Alas~"
"It's a waste of time!"
Tom couldn't help but shake his head. Both of them were now official servants of the Governor's Mansion and were responsible for maintaining law and order. Someone wanted to plan for the two of them to join the rebellion together, but they clearly knew how powerful the Ming army was and what the Governor's Mansion meant. , and did not participate.
Tian Erniu's iron-blooded methods in Hong Kong quickly put down the rebellion caused by the church's privileges, and then issued several governor's orders in quick succession, and at the same time confiscated all the church's properties.
Under the iron and blood methods, Hong Kong quickly stabilized again. Everyone soon discovered that not paying tithes, not buying indulgences, etc. seemed to be really good. The extra money could make their lives better. Okay, naturally we will gradually stop causing trouble.
But what happened here also spread quickly in Europe, causing an uproar. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
