"…In 326, when Xilena, the mother of the Roman Emperor Constantine I, was traveling to the holy land of Jerusalem, the bishop of the Temple of Venus told her that the place where Jesus was martyred and resurrected was under this place. After Xilena returned, she informed Constantine I of this discovery. Constantine I then ordered the demolition of the Temple of Venus and built a rectangular church here, namely the Cathedral of the Holy Sepulchre. The cathedral, also known as the Resurrection Church, was built in the place where Jesus was crucified and was killed and resurrected. Therefore, it is also the most sacred place of worship in the minds of Christians in the world..."

Standing in front of Xining Houhe, Gaspar once again spoke of the "holy traces" in Jerusalem. Along the way, he had seen the Chinese's means of siege more than once.

To put it bluntly, it is relying on brute force to push!

What is their brute force?

It is a powerful siege cannon, a grenade fired by cannons, a rocket, a incendiary bomb. In short, they blow up the city and then send troops to attack the city.

Such a fighting style is indeed twice the result with half the effort. Those seemingly indestructible cities are like paper-patterned vulnerable under the fierce artillery fire.

It is also because of this. Behind them, cities such as Gaza were turned into ruins. When the Ming army celebrated their victory, those cities were completely turned into ruins, and countless people lost their homes.

In this regard, Gaspar didn't think it was a big deal. As long as the Ming army could capture the city and defeat the Ottomans.

Even in his opinion, this was exactly what he longed for. After the city turned into ruins, the homeless Moors would fall into displaced. Although it seemed pitiful, it was a very happy thing.

For any Spaniard, they will never forget the disaster that the Moors brought to Spain. What is more pleasant than watching the Moors suffer?

Well, if you have to say anything, it would be killing the Moors.

But the problem is... the city in front of me is different from other places.

What kind of city is this? It is not just a city!

But a holy land!

It is the coveted holy place of the entire world of Christ. In the past few hundred years, countless people have dreamed of regaining this city.

This is also the reason why he did not hesitate to give up large tracts of land in America to exchange for this region. There is no more important place in the world than here.

Gaspar, a little girl, didn't want to tell Madrid, told the whole world that "I" had taken Jerusalem, but the city turned into ruins.

Is a Jerusalem that has been turned into ruins still a holy land?

Perhaps Jerusalem, which has become ruins, is still a holy place, but the problem is that it doesn't seem like the Spanish and Europeans explain it.

Are you watching those sacred churches be destroyed by artillery fire?

And the Chinese people in front of them seem to care about all this at all.

"Earl, you must understand that compared to the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, the so-called holy land is worthless!"

When the words of Xining Hou were passed to the Spanish present through translation, their expressions became complicated. These Spanish were all devout believers. It was an insult to belittle their holy land in this way, but even so, they could only suppress their dissatisfaction in their hearts.

God can testify that they also need these people to help them recover the Holy Land.

Li Dingguo said directly.

"I said before, I'll give you five days. If you can't find a way to solve it, then we will follow our playing style. Now, do you have a way to solve the problem?"

The reason why it has been delayed until now is to take care of the emotions of these Spanish people.

"this……"

Although Little Gaspar felt very unhappy about the saying "Nothing worthless", he had to suppress his inner dissatisfaction and said helplessly.

"I, we are currently..."

"Marquis, I have an idea."

Suddenly a Spanish officer stood up and said.

"This is a holy city, but it's not just ours. What if we avoid our holy sites?"

"Oh? Let's hear it?"

Li Dingguo glanced at the officer.

“How to avoid them?”

"There are some Jews who escaped from the city outside the city. I think they have a great understanding of the situation in the city. They should be able to help us mark the appropriate positions for shelling."

"So, then do it. Go find the Jews and let them mark them."

While expressing his praise, no one noticed the sneer flashing across Li Dingguo's lips. After the Spaniards left, Weng Zhiqi, who was standing beside him, asked.

"Marty, don't we have a map of Jerusalem? Why do we ask them to find someone?"

He obviously didn't understand Xining Hou's approach very well. This was obviously an unnecessary approach.

"Why not let them find someone?"

Li Dingguo asked back, then looked at Weng Zhiqi with a smile and said.

"Yuan Qian really thought this city was really worthless! Before I came here, His Majesty specifically reminded that Jerusalem was indeed worthless, but equally, he still had everything! Everything in the world! For Europeans, they could not have weekly, but they could not have Jerusalem. However, this is just for them!"

Looking in the direction of Li Dingguo's finger, Weng Zhiqi frowned slightly. The top scholar in the Gengchen rank in the 13th year of Chongzhen, in history, after Huang Degong committed suicide, he also jumped into the river to sacrifice his country. However, now, Huang Degong is ranked high in Kaiyuan Marquis, and he has also become the Jingjiang Bo of the Qiansheng Dynasty.

As the naval admiral, he was just a bystander in Jerusalem and stared at the city. It was difficult for him to understand why Li Dingguo had to go through so much trouble.

"Since that's the case, why give it to the Spaniards?"

Since this place is so important, it should be the Ming Dynasty for granted. Yes, the Ming Dynasty is not worth a penny? But it is enough to be important to Europeans.

"Why should we trek into this muddy water? When you came down, you gave an explanation that we could seize the city, but that's only limited to this. No matter whether he is a Christian, a heavenly person, a Jew, he has nothing to do with us. We will attack the city, but our shells were attacked by the Jews. As for what would blow up? That's the matter of the Jews. We were invited by the Spanish to help them recover Jerusalem. Well, in the future, everything here has nothing to do with us. All the grudges and grudges are from their groups, so what does it have to do with us? In the future, we just need to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight!"

Looking towards the direction of the city of Jerusalem, Li Dingguo said with a smile,

"Yuanqian, this city is troublesome in everyone's hands. Why should we make trouble for ourselves? It's this Damascus province, the "promised land". What are the places with honey and milk flowing, but in fact there are deserts everywhere, barren mountains everywhere. Such barren lands are rare in those Jews!"

When Li Dingguo complained about this barren land, it was difficult for him to understand that for the Jews who had no country and had wandered for more than a thousand years, this land carries everything they have, is the most glorious memory of all the Jewish nations, and even the foundation for maintaining the Jewish nation. In their opinion, this land is their contract with God. I wonder how many Jews dream of one day returning to this land.

It is also because of this that for thousands of years, even though most Jews have wandered around the world, some of them still stick to this place. Whether it is the Roman Empire, the Tianfang people, the Crusaders, Saladin, Mamulik and the Ottomans, they have never let them leave here. Of course, as "survivors", these Jews have their own laws of survival.

What is the Jewish rule of survival?

It means surrendering to the victors!

In this regard, Jacob Hasmony was very clear that the Hasmony family had lived on this land for more than a thousand years. His ancestors were the Jewish priests who ruled this land as early as the second century BC. Although his family had declined long before the Romans invaded, they had always lived on this land as side branches, and they lived here no matter who their master became.

For the Jews, they have always been with the winner, the loser... they are destined to be the loser!

This is also the reason why they left the city as soon as possible after the war broke out. They will wait for the winner to win, and then surrender to the winner.

But now, the count in front of him did not give them a chance to wait and see. Now he finally realized the arrogant and unreasonableness of the Spaniards driving the Jews out of Spain more than a hundred years ago.

In his opinion, even Turks cannot compare with them.

"You can refuse, of course, but after rejection, the Chinese cannons will razend the entire Jerusalem! The entire Jerusalem will be turned into ruins, like the cities behind the Chinese. I think each of you knows very well what the cities conquered by the Chinese have become!"

Just as Li Dingguo threatened himself, Gaspal threatened these Jews with the same words. He knew what was the most important to the Jews, and he was just as the city was to him.

"Jerusalem, Jerusalem is also your holy land!"

Facing the threat, Jacob Hasmony replied.

"If Jerusalem is razed to the ground, the cathedral will not be spared! After all, Jerusalem does not belong only to us, but also to you."

This is exactly the complex place of Jerusalem, both for Christians and Jews, their holy land. The same is true for the heavenly people.

"really,"

Little Gaspal nodded.

"But we all know very well that compared to the cathedral, I think for Christians, they just need to remember that I, Earl Gaspar, are the liberator of the Holy Land."

Even now, when the title is mentioned, Little Gaspar couldn't help but be proud of it. Today, Jerusalem is still under the control of the people of heaven, but he has already regarded himself as the liberator of Jerusalem.

"When they ask why the Holy City is destroyed? I will tell them. Tell the whole Europe and tell the whole world. No, it is not my fault, but you, you, you Jews, you, you, you, like in the past, cooperate with the Tianfang people, and with the Turks, and your refusal to help us is your refusal, which leads to all this! Mr. Jacob, at that time, I think, what you are going to face will be the anger of the whole Europe!"

Little Gaspar knew these Jews very well. Even though there were no Jews in Spain today, it did not prevent him from knowing what to threaten them.

They will never agree to do this by simply threatening them with death, but in addition to death, they can also threaten them in other ways.

Facing such a threat, Jacob Hasmone was extremely angry, but he could not say anything.

"You, you...they will never believe your slander."

"An angry Christian will not pay attention to any explanation!"

Little Gaspar said confidently.

"The anger of the recorder will ignite the whole of Europe. It will send all the Jews to hell. Will they listen to your explanation? No, they will not listen to your explanation. They will only kill you all and then take away everything you have. You must know that many people want to do this, but they have no reason."

Looking at Jacob Hasmony, little Gaspar, who looked pale, continued.

"Do you think you don't help us? Do the Turks will let you go? Perhaps for them now, the Jews are the Turks' best friends, but believe me. From tomorrow on, the Turks will send all the Jews to hell, because I will also tell the Turks that the reason why Jerusalem is Lin County is that you opened the gates of Jerusalem. You Jews betrayed Jerusalem!"

Will contradictory words make people believe?

Little Gaspal didn't care at all. He knew that Europeans would believe all this, whether it was Turks or Europeans. If a scapegoat was needed, then the Jews were the best scapegoats. The Jews were not only scapegoats, but also had huge wealth.

Whether for the Turks or Europeans, the Jews were just a group of lambs and could be taken out to sacrifice at any time.

Facing the threat of the little Earl Gaspal, Jacob Hasmony was stunned. He looked at the former Earl, and for at least a moment, he seemed to understand that perhaps this was the fate of the Jews...
