Chapter 148: The Whip of the Spinning Top

There is a strong tradition in Yushan Academy, that is, as long as a guy with a leader among students, the academy will definitely create a team for him to command and deploy.

This is a special mechanism for Yushan Academy to cultivate elites.

It is because of this team that specializes in providing elite students with expertise that the command ability of elite students will be enhanced unlimitedly.

Therefore, such elite students live harder than ordinary students.

Because during his growth process, all kinds of unpredictable difficulties always arise.

Sometimes it is physical harm, sometimes it is mental harm, sometimes it is even desperate... a student who can survive from this hell will embark on another glorious path.

Students who cannot get out of the way... can only live their normal life step by step.

In Europe, Descartes had no classmates.

Therefore, his teacher Zhang Liang created a team for him with European messengers as the periphery and Little Descartes as the center.

In this team, Descartes little is the command center.

Now, the results have been shown!

Since Descartes Little is preparing to kill Pope Alexander VII with artillery, Descartes Little's peripheral partners must implement this plan.

The early expenses can naturally be dealt with with organizational funds. However, during the completion of the plan, or after the plan is completed, Descartes must consider the value of organizational funds.

In other words, the funding needs to be paid back.

Only in this way can the organizational funding be kept in a full state forever and can be used to grow new things frequently.

When Descartes brought his plan, Zhang Liang and Qiao Yong were still speechless by Descartes' plan.

A Holy Roman Empire is now divided into more than 390 vassal states, noble territories, and knight territories.

The most chaotic place is undoubtedly the Apennine Peninsula, where Rome is located.

At this time, people prefer to use "breaking boots" to describe this land.

The Holy Roman Empire ruled these vassal states and territories like a spider web to glue them together.

Everyone knows that spider webs are fragile. The Apennines bonded together with spider webs will be completely destroyed as long as there is a slightly bigger storm.

The dead emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, Matthias, attempted to restore the Catholicism of Bohemia thirty years ago and designated Ferdinand III as the King of Bohemia.

Ferdinand III ordered a ban on religious activities of Protestants in Prague, demolished his church, and declared those who attended Protestant assembly as mobs.

Armed thugs rushed into the palace and threw the emperor's imperial envoy into the trench from the window, which is known in history as the "throwing out the window incident".

It became the beginning of the Thirty Years' War.

In Descartes' plan, he persisted in thinking that this incident that almost dragged the entire Europe into the quagmire of war was fundamentally a religious war.

For this reason, he believed that he was on the side of justice in killing the Pope, because, in any case, the Pope must be responsible for this war that lasted for thirty years.

As for the war that was mediated by the Pope and eventually stopped, Descartes seemed to turn a blind eye to it.

Killing a pope is of little use to the Ming Dynasty. If he just wanted to get some scholars away from Europe, Descartes little thought it was not worth using such powerful power.

It’s like killing a chicken with a slaughter!

Since the ox knife has been sacrificed, it is a waste not to kill the cows but only the chickens.

Overall, Descartes Jr. believes that if the Pope dies, then the war should break out again, and it must be more violent than the last war.

Only through the war between blood and fire can people have a clear understanding of the universal values ​​of religion.

At that time, both Protestant and Catholics can truly calm down and face a broken Europe again.

He stubbornly believed that the pain of provoking war was temporary, and peace after the war would be long-lasting, and it would be generally beneficial to the European people.

After reading Descartes' plan, Qiao Yong said to Zhang Liang: "It seems that he not only wants to kill the pope, he even thinks about Ferdinand III, the Holy Roman Empire..."

Zhang Liang gritted his teeth and said, "This net is too big, so this child is not afraid of supporting him?"

Qiao Yong frowned and said, "In fact, it is just adding a few more cannons and preparing some more gunpowder. Judging from the plan, it is feasible. That is, after we help him do this, we must run away.

Otherwise, once the plan is leaked, we will be besieged by the entire Europeans.

The child is still too young, and he only wants to complete the plan, but not the retreat after the plan is completed."

Zhang Liang said lightly, "Since the plan has the possibility of success, then you will quickly evacuate after completing the arrangement. I will stay and accompany this child. This is my responsibility as a teacher."

Qiao Yong nodded, feeling that Zhang Liang's words were reasonable, and this was Zhang Liang's responsibility.

He will enjoy the glory brought by his disciples and must bear the consequences brought by his disciples.

Zhang Liang left the conference room and saw Little Descartes sitting quietly on the chair. He walked over to the child's pure gaze. The master and apprentice sat together with their backs against the tall wooden corridor.

“Your plan has been approved for implementation.”

Little Descartes smiled and said, "I knew it was this result. A Europe that was completely trapped in religious wars is the Europe that was in line with the interests of the Ming Empire."

Zhang Liang took off the lambskin gloves from his hand, put them on his knees, stared at the ground and said quietly: "Have you considered the impact of doing so on Mr. Descartes and Emily little?"

Little Descartes said in surprise: "I think it's my own business to be a devil, it has nothing to do with my grandfather and Emily."

Zhang Liang said: "You should understand that Mr. Descartes is not your grandfather."

Descartes Jr. said: "I think so!"

Zhang Liang smiled and nodded and said, "You are right. After I go back, I will burn all the documents about your life experience. You will be Mr. Descartes' grandson in the future. I will even write to His Majesty and ask him to seal your life experience record."

Little Descartes looked at Zhang Liang's glittering eyes and said, "Your Majesty knows me?"

Zhang Liang laughed and said, "Do you think I have such great power and invest such great resources in you personally? Your Majesty has a crush on you, which is why I say that your importance exceeds that of the Pope who is about to die."

Little Descartes bit his thin lips and asked hesitantly: "I'll see Your Majesty when I go to Mingguo?"

Zhang Liang smiled and said, "Your Majesty is now living in seclusion in a small palace in Yangzhou to make spices. I think you can help him burn the fire after you go. He has complained about his two stupid maids countless times."

Little Descartes asked in confusion: "Why don't Your Majesty change to two smarter maids?"

Zhang Liang said happily: "Those two maids have followed him since they were young and have never left..."

Little Descartes nodded and said, "I understand that love and hate can coexist. Many times, the power of love must transcend hatred."

Zhang Liang nodded and said, "You are right. We must look at the world with the eyes of love, see hope in despair, see light in darkness, and ourselves are light."

Descartes Jr. said: "Leave love to those who are worthy of love, and leave hatred to the enemy."

Zhang Liang smiled, then took out six black iron cards from his arms and placed them on Little Descartes's hand.

"These people will become your subordinates, and they will follow any orders from you, and even if they die, they will not stop them."

Little Descartes nodded and said, "I understand that when the mission is completed, it is the moment they die."

"Most of the people are going to evacuate. I'll stay and help you, and ask them to take Mr. Descartes and Emily little, too?"

"No, they will stay in the apartment well. After I finish the work, I will take them out of the chaotic Rome and return to Paris as soon as possible."

Zhang Liang pinched Little Descartes' slightly raised nose and said, "Get back safe."

Little Descartes said: "I will watch the Pope die on the spot, and I will also watch the Emperor die on the spot, and I will also evaluate the completion of the task."

Zhang Liang frowned and said, "This is not good."

Little Descartes smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't die. I know how to survive the explosion and artillery bombardment, and also know when and how to arrange those artillery and gunpowder."

After saying that, Descartes put on his half-wool cloak, shook the short straight cane in his hand at Zhang Liang, and hurriedly left the tall stone building.

Zhang Liang sighed slightly, then pushed open a tall door, walked in, closed the door, and the tall and thick oak door isolated the sun and all the light.

Little Descartes kept bounced a black iron sign with his thumb and caught it with his hands lightly. After walking less than a hundred meters in the square, he heard a young voice ringing beside him.

"Ri'an, dear sir, although all roads can lead to Rome, only Spear's carriage can deliver you to the brightest place."

Hearing this sentence, Descartes jumped onto the carriage that he had followed him for a long time.

A young man wearing a feather hat was sitting in the carriage.

This is a young and funny boy. He kept talking on the way, but Little Descartes couldn't listen to a word, and he didn't want to have any interaction with this boy.

It is certain that I will kill this young man soon. If I have friendship now, I will not be able to start in the future.

The carriage ended up parked at the entrance of a huge public bath.

Just from the gray-white limestone columns, Little Descartes immediately understood that this was a very high-end brothel.

A very vulgar fat man standing at the door saw that Little Descartes came, and immediately came over flatteringly and said to Little Descartes: "Ri'an, my little master, are you here to clean your body?"

Little Descartes didn't say a word, and the fat man still chattered and introduced him to the various benefits of taking a bath here.

Before stepping into this public bath, Little Descartes stopped, took out a handful of silver coins from his purse and threw them to the young man wearing a feather hat and said, "Please enjoy it all."
