Chen Mu felt that it was indeed not easy for Li Dan to go to sea.

The Catholic Church, the Buddhist Temple, the Temple of the Heavenly Concubine and his ancestral shrine, in the small place of Haojing, his godson went out to the sea to worship all the gods with the most believers in the world.

Great work.

"The bishop doesn't have to be anxious about this, the church is built, take me in and sit?"

Chen Mu's interest in the church made Macau Bishop Carneiro both excited and worried, but he could not refuse, so he had to invite Chen Mu into the church.

On the one hand, if Chen Mu, the leading high-ranking official in the southern part of the empire, had a favorable impression of God, it would undoubtedly be of great help to their missionary cause. But on the other hand, no one can forget that this is a villain who can order the stone steps of the church to be taken to pave the way.

Each Jesuit underwent a very severe test, they swore to poverty, chastity, obedience, they feared life and death to advance the great cause of missionary work, and nothing in the world could defeat the steadfastness of their hearts.

But.

There is everything, but in the face of Chen Mu, a villain who holds great power, Carneiro only feels that this is the biggest test God has given him.

In St. Paul's Church, Chen Mu sat on a bench and looked up at the relief carvings on the wall, the statue of the Holy Child and the statue of the Virgin surrounded by angels and flowers.

He said to Carneiro: "The bishop does not have to be concerned about Dan'er's affairs, nor does he have to be so narrow-minded, if God really has a spirit, he will protect Dan'er from threats abroad." Time will also make Dan'er understand who is the god he should really believe in. ”

"When believers are confused, the bishop should not be harsh, although Chen does not believe in your sect and gods, but as you can see, Chen also respects your piety for the faith, which is a character that I do not have." Chen Mu's face was very serious and sincere, and he stretched out his hand to Bishop Carneiro and said, "The bishop has lived in our land for a long time, and he should understand that it is not so easy to proselytize in this land. ”

"Chen did not oppose your mission, in fact, it is already the greatest help to Your Excellency and the sect."

Carneiro nodded solemnly, although he was always unhappy because of Chen Mu's greed and bullying behavior, but he couldn't deny this, this man who was born in the West and would be burned on a barbecue grill to jerky, if he wanted to, he only needed one sentence to expel all the priests.

But he didn't.

Carneiro thought that this would be the greatest help to them, and the old bishop nodded, "Dear General, I would like to offer you the highest respect for this. ”

The old man is learning Chinese well!

Chen Mu once again showed a look of appreciation, nodded and said: "Bishop doesn't need to thank me, since we have an excellent experience of cooperation, I hope to talk openly and honestly with all the Portuguese, and a few military leaders also have a part - I want to know, what do you think about the frequent provocations of the Xiyi in Luzon, and even the fact that Chen can only go home by military ship and gunboat on the wedding day?" ”

The Spaniards have this scoundrel!

There was a rustling of quill pens in the church, Chen Mu turned his head and saw that it was an old acquaintance Pinto, although he didn't know why he was still in the mirror, but looking at Pinto, whose hands were trembling because of his eyes, Chen Mu smiled and said: "It's okay, sir, continue to record." ”

Pinto nodded slightly, and added to the record: It seems that the years and the northward march have made General Chen more humble, but still have not changed his belligerence, and at this moment in St. Paul's Church, I have the privilege of witnessing the beginning of a great war......

"It's none of our business!"

Perez, who deeply understood Chen Mu's essence, immediately shouted when he heard Chen Mu ask about this matter, and said: "When the Spanish pirates came to attack Haojing, I led people to open fire, and our gunners shot at them on the shore, and everyone witnessed it!" ”

Looking at Perez, who had a gray hair and wrinkled face, he was anxious to make a statement, and General Chen was relieved.

"The knight said it very well, but I still have to correct Your Excellency, it is not a pirate, it is the Spanish army, and their army entered the Lingding Ocean as a provocation to our emperor."

Chen Mu was very serious when he said this, and stroked his chest and said: "Because of his chaos in Guangdong, Chen, who is far away in the north, cannot enjoy the wealth of the world, and the emperor ordered me to go south." What I want to ask you is, when Chen fights back against them, what will you and the Viceroy of Malacca, the Governor of India, and even your king behind you do? ”

"Your country is very close, will you join forces...... Chen Mu raised his finger and pointed to his feet, and said: "You are all devout believers, in this place, no one should lie to me." ”

"Absolutely not!"

Perez clapped his hands on the bench and looked cautiously at the church icon, saying, "Our king went to war against Fez in Morocco two years ago, and he asked for help from Philip of Spain, but he did not join our war and delayed their marriage to the king, that is a treacherous man, and the gods will punish him!" ”

"Although we cannot make a decision on whether or not to go to war, Portugal will not join Your Excellency's war with Spain, let alone Spain!"

Syllable!

Chen Mu clapped his hands and said, "Great! In that case, please help me to send a letter to the governor of Luzon to surrender to their governor of Luzon. ”

Well?

Surrender?

Carneiro and Perez didn't turn around, in fact, it was just a group of pirates who came to attack Haojing, it wasn't a Spanish army at all, it seemed that in General Chen's mind, they had already started a war, but Spanish Luzon didn't think so!

There is no war, what kind of surrender!

"In view of his insult to my Haojing, I need to pay compensation of 100,000 taels of silver; Unauthorized passage of Lingding Ocean, one in and one out is counted twice, 50,000 taels each; He also robbed seven cattle in Tuen Mun, which are very valuable animals in my Daming, and they are friends of the farmer, so a total of 270,000 taels of silver, the road is far away, and they will reply to me within five months. ”

After that, Chen Mu got up and nodded to a few people, and added: "This church is really well built." ”

Walking out of the church with everyone, Bai Yuanjie asked puzzledly: "Since it has been decided to go to war, why wait until winter, you know that they will never agree." ”

"In winter, in what winter?" Chen Mu sneered, "We can't hide the matter of rectifying the soldiers and horses here, they must be prepared when they see the warships, I said May, which means May this year, they understand it as five months, don't blame me." ”

Bai Yuanjie glared, and looked at Deng Zilong, it's already five months!

"Junxiong, go back and send someone to invite Taoist priests, cultivators of alchemy, please come to Tuen Mun, let's cultivate a Taoist temple, just like I told the bishop, time will let Dan'er know who the god of faith is, and the same goes for the people."

"Who should they believe?"

Chen Mu led the goose towards the port in all directions, and sneered: "Golden Dragon Ruyi is a Dragon Tiger Xuantan True Monarch!" ”
