Chapter 809 Kneeling to kneel!

Cui Lu has never been out of the sea. This time she was sent to cross the ocean to be named Pope. It was an opportunity that Cui Lu snatched after she proved her strength with practical actions. As an outstanding graduate of the Peking University, Cui Lu was surprised to find that except for her classmates who graduated from Peking University, none of her colleagues in the Ministry of Rites could fight!

The Ministry of Rites was the most unrestrained yamen. Apart from the spring and autumn examinations, there were not many things that could intervene in the Ministry of Rites. In the past, there were at least one country to pay tribute to the court, and a large number of envoys from the vassal states wanted to go to Beijing to worship the emperor. What about now?

What are the likes of North Korea, Jiaozhi, Myanmar, etc., all become a governor of the Ming Dynasty, and there is a vassal state?

The only Japanese that has not become an inner vassal is now like crazy, almost always following the Ming Dynasty inside and outside, and treating itself as the illegitimate son who is wandering outside the Ming Dynasty.

For example, the Tang, Qing, Qin, Liao, Shen and other countries were actually vassal states, but they were under the jurisdiction of the clan’s office. The envoys of these vassal states did not have the name of envoys, but were actually managed by the Ministry of Personnel.

Moreover, today I was not very interested in worshiping the heavens, Fengshan, etc. Apart from constantly fighting and expanding my territory, only the people could make the emperor worry about it.

This time, I finally got the opportunity to go out to sea to be a pope. For Cui Lu, she was awesome who could brag for a long time, and could go from this life to the next life.

Since the moment he boarded the ship at Tianjin Port, Cui Lu has begun a journey of spitting wildly, and it was not until he passed Luzon Port that he was better.

I'm already used to vomiting, so it doesn't matter if I'm seasick or not.

But when Cui Lu got off the boat, she started a new problem - no matter how she walked, she felt that the land was shaking. Even if she changed to a carriage, she would still feel dizzy caused by the shaking.

The journey was very peaceful. No death soldiers appeared to assassinate Cui Lu, and no army dared to come out to intercept Cui Lu and his party. It seemed that all Europeans had accepted their fate.

Even the Holy See, which is most notorious, has become strangely calmed down.

Innocent X was originally called the most ineffective pope, so when Innocent, Addison and others attended the dinner of Emperor Chongzhen and brought back the news that the pope had to be admitted to the Ming Empire before he could take office, the Holy See exploded.

Countless cardinals who had not been with him were completely angry. After some connection, they publicly attacked Innocent X at a formal meeting of the Holy See.

Either Innocent X stepped down and got out of the Pope's treasure, or reorganized the Crusaders and the three major knights, and declared war on the Ming Empire.

As for Europe, which is now in chaos, all issues can be put aside for the time being and discussed before the Pope needs to resolve the issue of Ming enthronement.

Innocent X, who was sitting high above the Pope throne, simply didn't speak, but just listened quietly to the archbishops' quarrel.

Addison and several archbishops in the clothes who went to Emperor Chongzhen's dinner with Innocent, also did not speak.

Innocent, Addison and others had already received a trace of news in advance, knowing that these archbishops were secretly connecting, but they didn't know what they were connecting.

Now I finally got it, but Innocent X, Addison and others did not get up to stop these people as soon as possible, but let them continue to argue, just to be a show.

After a long time of argument, the archbishops in the quarrel slowly calmed down - even if they were targeting Innocent, Innocent had to respond.

Like Innocent X, he completely ignored everyone and just sat alone in a chair in a daze. What's the use of even the opponents shouting their throats?

Seeing that the noisy cardinals were silent, Innocent said lightly: "All the talks are finished? I won't make a noise, right? Then I have a few words to say.

Now, I solemnly make a promise to you: If anyone of you thinks that you can lead the Crusaders that no longer exist, solve the Ming army on the battlefield, or can force the Ming army to retreat, then I can give him the position of the Pope.

If you can't, please shut up and don't make any noise in the future, because this is a meaningless waste of time!"

Crusaders? The early crusaders may be a little more interesting. As for the later three major knight orders created by the Crusaders, I can only laugh.

Especially after the Ninth Eastern Expedition, the entire Crusader and the three Knights basically sang Liang. Now it is basically impossible to regroup the Crusader and the three Knights.

First of all, the Holy See cannot afford such a large fee, even if the indulgences and magical medicines and longevity cream are sold.

Because there are many people, even the huge profits are divided layer by layer, there are not many that can be left to be implemented.

If you don’t have money, what can you use to form the Crusaders and the Three Knights?

Simply shouting slogans could be used hundreds of years ago. Now the whole of Europe is in chaos. All the vassal states have long been disloyal from the Holy See. Who else would support the Holy See to form an army?

Haven't you suffered enough before?

After glanced at the archbishops in the presence, Innocent X continued: "Where are the Crusaders? Where are the three Knights? Where are they now?

Just open your mouth and refuse. Do you know what consequences will reject the Holy See? You have never seen the Ming army, and Addison and others have seen it.

To be honest, even when the Crusaders and the Three Knights were at their peak, they would never be able to hold on for even half a day under the attack of the Ming Empire army.

Now there are no crusaders and three major knight orders. Are you still thinking of rejecting the enthronement of the Emperor of the Ming Empire? Do you want to be summoned by the Lord so soon?"

Seeing that many people still had a look of distortion on their faces, Innocent X simply rubbed his forehead and said, "Since you still don't want to, it's easy to do.

After you go back today, you pack up your things and stay in the army of the Holy Roman Empire for a while, or you can also go to the occupied area of ​​the Ming Empire to take a look.

Especially those people of the Ming Empire, you can see their belief in the Ming Empire and their emperor in their faces.

You can sit here and quarrel, which proves that you do not have a fool—the records about the Crusaders and the Three Knights, I believe you can also guess how true or false it is.

If I really can't guess thoroughly, I can open the most confidential library of the Holy See for you to see what your so-called Crusaders and the Three Knights look like.

Then, you compare the army of the Holy Roman Empire and the army of the Ming Empire, and you will have a deep understanding of what army and discipline are.

Think about it, when the Whip of God was raging in Europe and when the Mongolian army was raging in Europe, what was the situation in Europe? Has anyone organized an army that could fight against them?

No? However, the Ming army now is definitely more terrifying than the original Whip of God and the Mongolian army!”

Innocent X said what he said was the truth.

Others may not be clear about it, but after looking through the most confidential records of the Holy See, only the kind of information that Popes of all generations can read, Innocent's virtue of the Crusaders was really clear.

If the early crusaders could still talk about the concepts of military discipline and military organization, the later crusaders were not even as good as a group of bandits.

What's more, there are no unreliable Crusaders and the three major knights now, and what's the point of talking about those that are not there?

As for the position of the Pope, it might have been a popular throne before the Ming Dynasty intervened in Europe, but now the Ming Dynasty has obviously intervened in Europe. The position of the Pope at this time is definitely not a good thing.

Seeing that the Archbishops in the Chronicles were silent, Innocent sneered and said, "What? No one wants to sit on the throne of the Pope?"

Addison sat not far from Innocent X, looking at these quail-like archbishops, sneering in his heart.

It is really time for them to attend that dinner together. It is best if a few blind people jump out, just like myself at that time, clearly stated that they would go against the Ming Empire. It is best if they are not timid - this way the Holy See will be much quieter, right?

Addison, who likes fencing, is different from other archbishops in the cardinals. He has neither those messy mistresses nor too interested in silver coins and magical medicines.

Addison will never forget the position where the sword tip pointed to when the young duke of Ming Dynasty was dancing - there were about a dozen chances. As long as the young duke of Ming Dynasty gently handed the sword tip forward with a position of more than ten centimeters, he and Innocent X would never come back to the Holy See.

Not to mention these trash people are talking about these nonsense here that is useless.

What Addison could not forget even more was the calm expressions of Emperor Chongzhen and other Ming generals.

They seemed to have no concern that the little duke would kill him and Innocent X, as if they were just irrelevant cats and dogs, and they would kill him casually.

If it were said that the Chinese people had discussed this possibility early, it would be fine if they were so indifferent. However, they jumped out to disrupt the situation at that time and they were completely temporarily interested. The surprised expression on the faces of Ming people could not be faked - this is the most terrifying thing.

Because this shows that they did not take the Holy See at all, or they were confident that they could completely destroy the Holy See.

No matter which possibility it is, Addison no longer wants to try that kind of death threat.

After placing a bubble of longevity cream and pumping it up, Innocent 10th spoke: "If you don't plan to sit in the Pope's position, nor do you plan to form the Crusaders and the three major knights, then study how to meet the enthronement problem of the Ming Dynasty!"

Addison said, "My personal opinion is that it doesn't matter if it is treated at a higher level than other countries' envoys.

Or, just wait until the envoy arrives at the Vatican, send someone to welcome the envoy, and then ask how to receive it according to the rules of the Ming Dynasty."

As soon as Addison said that, Edward Dundas, the Archbishop in Cardinal who had previously taken the lead in opposing the acceptance of the Ming Dynasty, opposed: "If the envoys in other countries are one level higher than those in the envoys, they will basically be on par with the monarchs of those countries.

If the reception was carried out according to the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty, where was the Holy See? What would other people in Europe think?"

Addison said with a gloomy face: "Let them look at it with their eyes! If anyone dares to express a different opinion, issue an extortion order. God does not need such a sinner to be his believers!"

Dundas looked in disbelief: "You're crazy! Do you know what this means?"

Addison sneered and said, "Of course I know what this means, it means that the Holy See is completely obedient to the Ming Empire and will be managed by the Ming Empire in the future.

And I also know that once the Ming Empire truly intervenes in the management of the Holy See, yours, mine, and everyone here will suffer huge losses."

Seeing Addison say the word "interest" nakedly, Dundas simply snorted coldly: "Since you know, then you still dare to do this?"

Addison said, "Why don't you dare? No matter how many gold and silver coins are, no matter how blinding people, you have to have the will to spend it. No matter how much you can communicate with God's magic medicine, you have to have the will to smoke it.

Since we have decided to accept the intervention and management of the Ming Empire, we will take it honestly and show our due attitude.

I always want to recognize the rule of the Ming Dynasty on the surface, but in fact I still want to rely on the Holy See to master Europe. Then I can only say that you are too naive!

The Ming Empire is different from Attila, the Whip of God, and it is different from Ba, and it is different from those of the Seljuk Turks!

Let’s see, where is the Whip of God now? Where is the pull? Where is the Seljuk Turks? They value face and nominal rule, while the Ming Dynasty emphasizes actual rule! They have disappeared into the long river of history, but the Ming Dynasty is right in front of them!

If you don’t understand, go and check out the Isle of Wight, see the places actually occupied by the Ming Dynasty, and see how many English people still exist there?

there is none left!

Before I returned, I went to the places actually occupied by the Ming Dynasty. It had completely entered the military control mode, and there was no shadow of the English, but only a small number of civilians from the Ming Dynasty."

Innocent X waved his hand and stopped Addison, who wanted to continue to squirt, and laughed: "Article Addison is right. Since he has decided to surrender, then make a full gesture and kneel honestly, just like Henry IV in the past."
