Chapter 317, Revolutionary Seminary

Before dawn, Father Mikel Hidalgo Costia got up as usual to prepare for his preaching meeting. Father Hidalgo was a native white Mexican man. In Mexico, people were divided into hierarchies. First-class people were the so-called "peninsula people", that is, the "authentic Spanish" born on the Iberian Peninsula. They were the real masters of Mexico, controlled the church and the top leaders of the regime, controlled large tracts of land, and occupied various interests.

The second class is the so-called "native white people". They are also called "Creo people", that is, white people born in Spanish colonies. They are also Spanish in theory, exactly the same as the authentic Peninsula people. But in fact, this is not the case.

After occupying Mexico, the Spanish killed a large number of local indigenous people and sent a large number of paupers from the Iberian Peninsula to the Americas. It is relatively rare for female paupers to travel far away, so in Mexico, a woman's desertion naturally appeared.

If this problem is not solved, the Mexican colonies will not be able to maintain long-term stability. The solution to this problem is actually relatively simple, that is, kill Indian men and snatch their women away. The problem is solved smoothly. In Mexico, the Indian population continues to decline and the white population continues to rise. However, these white people often have an Indian mother or Indian grandmother.

Therefore, in the eyes of the authentic pure blood "Peninsula people", although the "native white people" are nominally white, they are not pure enough. They have brought the lowly "Muggle" bloodline and become lowly "mud breeds".

Therefore, although they are legally recognized as Spanish and white, "native white people" are generally excluded from the church and the high-level institutions of the state. All industrial and commercial activities that compete with the suzerain (such as textile workshops, vineyards, olive gardens, lending, etc.) are also prohibited.

The third class is the Indians with a small number of people. They have the lowest status, and many of them are slaves. In addition, the taxes they bear are higher than other levels.

As a result, the "native white people" felt that they had become the oppressed subject. They felt that they would still be bullied by the nobles and men from the old continent.

In the Old Continent, the nobles and priests bullied us; when we ran to the New Continent, the nobles and priests would still pay us, so why don’t we come to the New Continent in vain?

In Joseph's words, this hierarchy still has positive significance. The greatest positive significance is to prove one thing: "Human stupidity can reach such an amazing level!"

While discussing the colonial plan in North America, Joseph said to his younger brothers:

"Originally, in politics, a basic principle should be to unite more people to deal with our enemies. To put it more clearly, it is to pull all the people who can pull us down as much as possible, make our people more and the enemy fewer.

But what about the fools in Spain? Originally, the native whites were naturally Spanish political fellows, but the Spanish forced them to wait. As a result, the native whites became enemies of Spain. It would be strange if their rule was not a problem!"

Since the Spanish took jujube pills in the rule of America, it would be better for France to be cheaper than for others. Therefore, although France and Spain are allies, the Bonaparte brothers still felt that it would be too sorry for the stupid posture that the Spanish did not take the opportunity to cheat the Spanish.

On the other hand, although the situation in France is good now, with the rapid increase in production capacity, the market capacity has gradually become tighter. In order to transfer the contradictions, the restless elements in the country and even the European continent were sent out. Lucien formulated a plan called "Ideal Country". He planned to trick the guys in the country into Louisiana and let them go there to realize their ideals. This is also a disaster.

This plan later added the use of Indians to make trouble for the "City on the Mountain". So in order to separate from the "City on the Mountain", the plan changed its name and was called "Taiwan of God".

Those restless factors, under the intentional guidance of the Ministry of Truth, really bought a lot of land in northern Louisiana and created their "Tabion of God". Like all religions based on the Abraham series, the "revolutionary theology" sects also had a high preaching enthusiasm. In their teachings, the Saint Paul went to Rome to preach:

"Walking on the cross is to take the redemption of the entire human race, that is, the liberation of the entire human race as our goal. Of course, we can first establish a city-state in the New World that everyone is equal, without oppression and enslavement. But it is not enough to be satisfied with this. Everyone is part of the world. Every brother in the world has not been redeemed or liberated, that is, we have not been completely redeemed and liberated. A true Christian can only be truly liberated by allowing all human beings to be redeemed and liberated. This is why the saint Paul took the risk to spread the gospel to Rome."

So the pastors of "revolutionary theology" used Louisiana as their base to spread their teachings everywhere. They even established a "Liberation Theological Seminary" in Hope, a settlement in Nebraska today.

Hidalgo received theology training at the Valladolid Theology Seminary in Spain and obtained a master's degree in theology. Then he returned to Mexico to prepare to continue his career as a priest. On the way back, he met a pastor of "liberal theology", and the two argued about some theological issues. Hidalgo felt that the pastor named Benjamin was simply a cursed heresy, so he couldn't help but attack Pastor Benjamin with vicious words.

Unexpectedly, Pastor Benjamin burst into laughter. He said to Hidalgo: "Pastor Hidalgo, I understand why you are so excited, because what I said is what you have already felt. You are not opposing me, you are opposing your inner voice. Okay, I won't argue with you, it's getting late, I can't stay up late. If you are still interested in theological issues in the future, you can also knock on my door. Well, I'm in the cabin next door."

Pastor Benjamin went to bed in his cabin, and Hidalgo was also lying in his bed, but he couldn't sleep. Benjamin no longer argued with Hidalgo. But Hidalgo continued to argue with Pastor Benjamin in his heart.

In this debate, Hidalgo lost a lot. He was so refuted by the reverence of the Benjamin in his heart that he was even angry. At one point, the idea of ​​"pick up the knife and kill that Satan next door."

For several days afterwards, Hidalgo hid in his cabin, and he did not leave the cabin except for eating, nor did he talk to anyone. In this way, he locked himself in the cabin for a week. Until the ship was about to arrive in America, Hidalgo walked out of his cabin and knocked on the door of Pastor Benjamin's cabin.

According to Hidalgo's original itinerary, he should have taken a boat to the Port of Altamila. But this time, he followed Pastor Benjamin to shore in New Orleans, then changed to another inland sailboat, and went upstream along the Mississippi River to the Liberation Seminary in Hope City.

Hidalgo stayed for two months in the Liberation Theological Seminary, but these two months had a profound impact on him. According to his own words, in the "Liberation Theological Seminary", he truly knew God and the truth for the first time. The fog that had been hidden before him dispersed suddenly, and everything in this world seemed clear and clear.

More than two months later, Hidalgo returned to Mexico and with his master's certificate obtained from the Valladolid Theological Seminary, he successfully obtained the status of a parish priest in the Diocese of Dolores. He became the head of the entire Catholic Diocese of Dolores.

This is also the highest position that "native white people" can reach in the church.

There are many Indians who converted to Catholicism, as well as some "native white people" of Indian descent. However, both Indians as Muggles and "native white people" of mug breeds are not easy to live. The land here is considered fertile, and crops such as corn are not good. The Spanish levies here are quite high.

In fact, the climate characteristics of the Dolores region are quite suitable for growing crops such as grapes and olives. However, in order to ensure that the local wine and olive oil in Spain can be sold at high prices in Mexico. In the whole of Mexico, grapes and olives are prohibited.

So Father Hidalgo used his identity and status to help these Indians and "native whites" get grapes and olives, help them make wine and press oil, and then sell them through underground channels.

These practices benefited many local people, and Father Hidalgo gradually gained the love of the locals. More and more people came to listen to his preaching every day. Then, Father Hidalgo gradually added some "revolutionary theology" content when preaching. These contents became more and more and more people who were united by Father Hidalgo.

Father Hidalgo organized the Indians and native whites who planted grapes and olives to form a "mutual aid association", and began to hoard weapons through some underground channels based on the reason of "defending anti-smuggling teams".
