Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Five For God, The Sun (Part 2)

Thank you for the 500 taels of sponsorship given by "xuetutu", the palace was full of praise, and the emperor was deeply moved and sighed to his left and right: "God will not deceive me, but it will be a big boss for fifty years."

………

Temporary compromise represents not surrenderism, but for victory!

With the personality of Archbishop Pang Maichen, he will definitely use iron-blooded means to rectify the Catholic Church, take its essence and remove its dross, so that every priest can review the old and learn the new, let them be renewed day by day, and let them be bathed in the only holy light of the true God, and let them serve the people forever!

But now, he needs to unite the clergy of every Eastern Diocese, tie them firmly to the carriage of the Eastern Diocese, and drive the great development of the Eastern Diocese through the rotation of the wheels, so that the name of His Excellency Pang Maichen resounds throughout the East, the West, and the Vatican!

This must be solved with wisdom, not toughness.

The construction of the Eastern Diocese and the promotion of the Catholic sinicization project are the manifestation of His Excellency Pang Maichen's wisdom.

As a project that Mr. Pang Maichen personally took charge of, he attached great importance to it and would never allow each branch to disobey and acted on his own, and to engage in mountain doctrine against the "central" of the parish, thereby affecting the progress of the project.

However, Catholicism has always adopted the "Jesus" system in the East. Each country has an independent Jesuit, and each Jesuit has a different faction. His Excellency Pang Maichen can forcibly disband the Jesuit through his power of the archbishop in Purple and change it to a five-level responsibility system.

However, without a strong leadership and inspection agency, this five-level responsibility system is just a change of soup and no medicine. The former personnel and operations still exist, which makes it difficult for the Catholic Leading Group to effectively guide and verify whether the following hall is implemented.

This is true for the Beijing Branch. Half a year has passed, and their work progress is probably less than 10%.

Why is the efficiency so slow and poor is not because no one supervises them.

If there is a system of governors and strong supervision and supervision, would the Beijing Branch dare to delay the tasks personally deployed by the Archbishop in this way?

The answer is obviously no.

Whether it is the government or religion, there is never spontaneity, everything is urged by external forces.

In his secret conversation with Guo Jujing, Eunuch Wei painted a beautiful and extremely grand map of the new world to this equally devout believer in God.

In this new map, the Eastern Diocese will become the new core and a new holy land of the Catholic world!

In this new map, every clergy in the Catholic world goes to the East for pride, and goes to the East for a lifetime’s wish!

In this new map, every clergy in the Eastern Diocese will also become the new core of the ruling power of the Catholic Church. They will have the right to speak in the Vatican. They are no longer orphans of Asia, but leaders of the sacred world!

Missions are not gods, they also have their own desires.

Guo Jujing came to the East thousands of miles away, hoping to contribute his own strength to the Catholic Church, so as to realize his faith and prove his piety to God.

Then, the strength of the Eastern Diocese is the best proof for missionaries like Guo Jujing!

As long as the priests of Matteo Ricci and other Matteo Ricci can firmly unite around the leader of Pang Maichen, the dominance of the Eastern Diocese will always be in the hands of the leader of Pang Maichen.

Whether it is faith or interest, Guo Jujing has no reason to oppose Pang Maichen leader.

After deciding the system of governors, Guo Jujing would stay in Beijing as the representative of the archbishop and fully promote the project of sinicization of the Catholic Church.

In other words, Guo Jujing will become the de facto deputy leader of the Eastern Diocese, an existence below one person and above ten thousand people.

This will inevitably be a great temptation and inspiration for Guo Jujing, who is over fifty years old but has always had little say in the Jesus Church.

Getting his support means receiving the support of Matteo Ricci and his clergy.

Guo Jujing’s job in the Beijing branch is very simple.

In the words of Eunuch Wei, it is necessary to build the Beijing branch into a model hall for the Oriental Diocese. In the future, the branches of all countries under the Oriental Diocese will come to the Beijing branch for training. In addition, the Oriental Diocese will also establish the divine school for the entire diocese in Beijing Nantang. Whether it is in scale, teaching, or funds, it will be most fully guaranteed...

Eunuch Wei gave Guo Jujing full power to the specific matters. With the help of the martial warriors headed by Cui Yingyuan, Eunuch Wei believed that the Beijing branch could definitely learn from the lessons and complete the important tasks entrusted by God and Eunuch Wei.

"To thoroughly clean your souls, completely abandon the old and backward thinking in your mind!"

"The sinicization of the church cannot be empty words or talk on paper. You must put aside your figure and truly integrate with China and the Chinese people. Only in this way can you be a valuable existence in the East and the most glorious existence in the entire church!"

"Everything is for God, everything is for the Catholic Church!"

After the meeting with the Beijing Branch Saint Seiya, under Guo Jujing's arrangement, Eunuch Wei cordially met with the "Jesus" priest Takaichi Zhuangmoto and Taro Tanama who came from Japan.

Zhuomoto-Tianshi came across the sea to meet the Archbishop, bringing a big news - Tokugawa Ieyasu has passed away.

This news made Archbishop Pang Maichen very depressed for a while because he was planning to compete with the legendary old turtle next month.

In addition to the news of Tokugawa's death, Somoto-wadama asked the Oriental Diocese to immediately organize a powerful crusade to conquer the Japanese shogunate.

Because, Tokugawa Ieyasu's death did not stop the shogunate from oppressing and suppressing the Catholics, but instead became even worse.

Tokugawa's heir, Hidetachi Tokugawa, was more cruel than his father.

According to Somoto, the two of Tanama said that in the past few years, nearly 300,000 Catholics have been sentenced to death by the shogunate.

Just in February, two missionaries and 55 Christians from various sects smuggled into Japan on Spanish merchant ships were burned or beheaded. The Japanese Catholic Church called the "Yuanhe Martyrdom".

"…Your Excellency, in the Arima area of ​​Kyushu, the lord Matsukura Shigemasa was particularly cruel. He first used a soldering iron on the forehead and cheeks of the believers to have three words "Catholic", then hanged the hole, sink the sea, tied people to pillars and placed them in the sea, watered them with boiling hot spring water, or threw them directly into the hot spring, which was a terrible sight!" Takaichi Zhuomong almost cried.

"In the Hibimaeshimahara area, the castle lord Matsukura Shigemasako put the straw coat on the Catholics and burned it to death with fire. People were rolling around in the straw coat, but the devils laughed and said that this was a straw coat dance! God, they were devils!" The excited and angry Taro Tanama shivered when he talked about the torture suffered by the believers.

"Dear Archbishop, please organize your strength to save the Japanese Catholics immediately! You can't delay for a moment!"

"Only God's power can bring the devils back to hell!" Zhuangmoto and Tianma looked forward to the young archbishop in front of him.

"I am deeply saddened to what happened in Japan, but organizing an army across the sea to conquer the shogunate is expensive, and the Holy See's support for the Oriental Diocese has not been in place,"

It’s not that Your Excellency Pang Maichen doesn’t want to save Japan’s lost lamb immediately, but things do have difficulties and complex sides.

At this time, Father Guo Jujing said: "Your Excellency, after receiving your instructions last year, we have mobilized believers from all over the world to donate hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. The Archbishop does not have to worry about military expenditure at all. In addition, branches of various countries have also actively responded to your call and recruited many combatants... "

“Is that right?”

His Excellency Pang Maichen's hand stopped in the air and said firmly to Jomoto and Tianma: "For God, I will personally lead a large army to go out to sea to conquer the evil shogunate next month!"

"His archbishop is really an angel from heaven, the savior of Japan!"

The two fanatical believers who were extremely devout to God, Jomoto and Tanama were grateful to him and knelt down to the Archbishop.

His Excellency Pang Maichen kept his word and asked Guo Jujing to prepare a book on his behalf to the branches of various places, so that they could immediately transport the raised silver and personnel to Taiwan.

While discussing, the personal guard came to report that the old man Li Yongzhen had arrived, and the old man Wei hurriedly asked him to come in.

Li Yongzhen knew that Eunuch Wei was an Oriental Archbishop of the Catholic Church, so he was not surprised by the group of foreign monks who came out of Eunuch Wei.

"Dad, the palace said that the imperial concubine was feeling uncomfortable and would go to the west mountain to rest tomorrow." After Li Yongzhen came in, he said that this was told by Zheng Shanggong, the female official next to the imperial concubine.

oh?

Is the Empress feeling uncomfortable?

Eunuch Wei tilted his mouth: This is the real day.
