Chapter three hundred and eighteen, the voice of Dolores

Hidalgo was slightly surprised when he heard the sound of horse hooves outside. Dolores was a very remote place, and there were not too many people coming and going during the day. At this time, a group of people rode their horses and something must have happened. So he said to Josephine, who was helping him organize the sermon supplies, "You are here, I'll go out and have a look."

Catholic priests have always demanded chastity, but this does not mean that priests do not have any needs in certain aspects. There is actually a reason why Catholics is particularly prone to priests who love little boys pathologically. However, the Catholic rule has gradually changed. That is, the rules of chastity continue to exist, but the meaning has become that as long as they are not openly married, they can do whatever they want. For example, the famous Pope Alexander VI raised a lot of mistresses, one of them, one of them, even his own illegitimate daughter.

With the effect of the upward and downward, although the Catholic priests still do not get married, many of them have mistresses and children. In this regard, Hidalgo is no exception. As for "revolutionary theology", it directly stated: "God is in people's love, and only the devil hates the love between people."

Josephine nodded, and Hidalgo held a horse lantern in one hand, grabbed a revolver with the other, pushed open the door, and looked in the direction where the sound of horse hooves came.

At this time, the sky in the east was still pitch black, which was the darkest time before dawn.

From afar, Hidalgo saw several horse lanterns coming towards this side.

"Who is it?" Hidalgo asked.

The horses stopped and could vaguely see a man jumping off the front horse's back, and at the same time lifted the lantern hanging on the saddle to his face. The slightly yellow light illuminated his bearded face.

"Father, it's me, it's Allende!"

Captain Allende was a friend of Hidalgo, and he was also a native white man of mud. Before that, Dolores' wine and olive oil could be smuggled relatively safely, and Captain Allende helped a lot.

After Father Hidalgo began to insert some "revolutionary theology" into his sermon, Captain Allende immediately warned Hidalgo. He told Hidalgo that his thoughts were very dangerous and that if the Mexican Inquisition knew about it, he would definitely determine that he was heretic.

He told him that if it was in Europe, it would be no big deal to be judged as a heretic now. But in Mexico, the Inquisition can still kill people!

"I know, what you said makes sense. I think it makes sense, too. But my friend, I don't want to see you turn into a torch. But, you...I mean, you are serious, really believe what you said, and are willing to fight for it?"

"Yes, my friend. As Jesus said, 'Man lives not by food alone, but by all the words from God's mouth.' I live not for food, but for the truth." Father Hidalgo replied.

"Then, I'm the only one!" Captain Allende said, "It's time for this world to change!"

This conversation was a critical step in the Mexican Revolution. The revolutionary organization began to have its own armed forces.

"Alende, my friend, what happened?" Hidalgo asked quickly.

"Someone told the Inquisition that you are a heretic who believes in 'revolutionary theology'. You know, half a month ago, a bishop was sent from Rome to specifically supervise the investigation of the heretics of 'revolutionary theology'. I got a news at 9 o'clock last night that the police department would come to arrest you after dawn today." Captain Allende said, "Fortunately, they didn't know that we were in the same group, all of them were 'reheards'. The situation is very urgent now. What should you do? We all listen to you!"

Hearding this news, Hidalgo originally felt that he should be surprised or something, but even he was surprised. At this time, he was particularly calm. Faced with this sudden news, there was no fluctuation in his heart, and he even laughed.

"My friend, we have been preparing for so long, isn't it just this day? You didn't come alone, but brought all our comrades in the army, isn't it just for this day? During these days, we worked in the wilderness, just for the arrival of this day, "prepare His way and straighten His way"? Now, this day has finally come! Well, everyone has worked hard all the way, come in and rest, and when it dawn, the masses have gathered..."

The cavalry all led their horses into the back of the church to prepare.

The sun rose, and Father Hidalgo put on his black dress and came to the church door, and personally rang the church bell.

It was almost noon, and the crowd gradually gathered. Everyone gathered around Father Hidalgo's forum, waiting to listen to his preaching.

Father Hidalgo began to preach. In this sermon, he no longer concealed the content of "revolutionary theology". He "turned back again by the "Bible" that was reversed by those false churches that followed Satan." Finally, he told everyone that Jesus' way is the way to oppose all oppression, the way to salvation, and the way to liberation.

"The Bible says: 'In the wilderness, someone shouts: Prepare His Word and straighten His Way.' This way is Jesus' way, which is to lead the people out of slavery, and toward the path of redemption and liberation of freedom. Just as the legislator Moses brought the Israelites out of Egypt..."

At this time, some dust rose on the other side of the road - these were raised by several running horses. This was probably the policeman who came to capture Father Hidalgo.

After a while, several policemen arrived at the church door. Leading by a native white man, several policemen waved batons and pushed some Indians around them away and walked towards Father Hidalgo's pulpit.

Father Hidalgo had noticed them long ago. At this time, his sermon reached its last moment. So he shouted to the crowd: "My children, do you desire freedom? Do you hope to live a happy life? Three hundred years ago, the hateful Spanish colonial robbers robbed the land of our ancestors. Are you willing to take them back at all costs?"

The Indians and native whites around them shouted together, "Hang the colonial robbers!" "Long live independence!" "Long live freedom!"

At this time, the colonial police had just squeezed to the pulpit and were about to announce the arrest of Hidalgo, the heresy in the name of God and the king, and such shouts rang around. The tsunami-like shouts were deafening, and the fat policeman who was leading the way opened his mouth wide, but didn't say anything.

At this time, the shouts around gradually lowered, and everyone saw the police who had already squeezed to the forum. Countless pairs of eyes were staring at them. The eyes were as heavy as the Rockies, which made the policemen sweat.

The slightly fat policeman who led the team was trembling all over. He opened his mouth and finally shouted: "Hang the colonial robbers, long live Mexico's independence!"

Several policemen who followed him immediately raised their fists high and shouted: "Down with evil Spain, long live Mexico's independence!"

As soon as these few words were shouted, the police felt that their bodies were much lighter. The eyes around them suddenly became much gentler.

The policeman who led the team quickly grabbed the native white man who had just brought them over and kicked him in front of Father Hidalgo. Father Hidalgo lowered his head and looked at it, recognizing that this was a smuggler named Leonardo who had bought their wine.

"Father, it's this guy who told me!" The policeman pointed the baton at Leonardo indignation.

"So it was your kid! Did you bring the police here?" A mixed-race white man pulled out a knife from his waist.

"You went to sue the secret? How many pieces of Eagle Ocean did you sell us? Are there thirty?" another Indian asked.

Father Hidalgo took a step forward and asked, "What's going on?"

"Father, that's it." The fat policeman replied with a smile on his face, "Recently, a damn Bishop Carlos came to the Inquisition, and he offered a reward everywhere to catch heresy of "revolutionary theology". This traitor, this shameless slag, went to sue for money! Bah! Such a shameless bastard, traitor, Judas! He went to tell the Inquisition, saying that you are a heresy of "revolutionary theology". Bah! What's wrong with revolution? Mexico should have long been to revolutionize the lives of those peninsular people, those great nobles, and archbishops. It's really a good idea! Father, you don't know, we have long been in love with revolution and have long wanted to hang all the damn colonial robbers on the gallows and dry them! So we brought this traitor to you."

"Sheriff, how can you..." said the smuggler.

The fat policeman immediately knocked on his mouth with a baton and knocked off two of his front teeth.

"Shut up, you damn Judas! I hate Spanish robbers the second, and I hate traitors like you! I can't beat Spanish robbers, can't beat you?"

Then he said to Father Hidalgo with a smile on his face: "Father, we are going to revolt? I know the truth and reality of the city. I am willing to participate in the revolution. Please let me contribute to the revolution. I am willing to lead the way for the revolutionary army!"
