The whole country develops a different world

The indifference of the Eastern Xia soldiers made their image more majestic in the hearts of the people, and some people even showed Stockholm symptoms.

After getting along for this period of time, the people are no longer so afraid of Dongxia soldiers.As long as you don't violate the rules, you don't have to be afraid. Dongxia soldiers can even ask them for help sometimes.

Patrol teams began to conduct random spot checks of residential houses along the road, especially those with registered babies.The people were very cooperative with the Dong Xia soldiers' search.

An hour later, the patrol team passed by a dilapidated wooden house.Originally, the patrol team didn't intend to search these wooden houses, but then a pungent smell emanated from the wooden houses, which should be some kind of plant juice.

The team leader stopped, turned around and led the rest of the soldiers to the door of the wooden house, and slammed on the wooden door twice.

Snapped!Snapped!

"Routine inspection, open the door!"

Two seconds later, an old voice came from inside.

"Coming soon."

The wooden door opened slowly, and a white-haired old man came out from the inside. The old man's face was very kind.

The old man saw the patrol team and asked, "My lord, what's the matter?"

"Routine inspection." The captain of the patrol team said indifferently, "Get out of the way."

"This..." The old man became a little hesitant, "My lord, I was making some earthen recipes just now, and the smell is a bit strong, why don't you wait for me to go in and clean them up?"

"Don't make me repeat it the second time." The team leader looked at the old man in front of him coldly, his intuition told him that there was something wrong with the old man.

Afterwards, several Dong Xia soldiers ignored him, and the old man directly forcibly broke into the house to search.The old man wanted to stop these soldiers, but was stopped by two Dongxia soldiers from the patrol team.

When the surrounding people saw this scene, they also stopped and watched outside. After all, this old man dared to defy the soldiers' search.

A few minutes later, several Dongxia soldiers came out, and one Dongxia soldier was holding a ceramic jar in his hand.

The soldier came to the captain with the ceramic jar in his hand, and said, "Captain, the contents of this jar are a bit suspicious."

The team leader glanced inside the ceramic jar, and there was a big lump of green stuff inside.This kind of thing has a very strong smell. Just from the appearance, it should be an ointment that has been circulated in some place.

But the team leader saw a small tooth in the ointment.

"take away."

Chapter 144 The Fireworks of the Prosperous Age

Such anti-human things as blood sacrifices generally occur in the southern and northern borders, and all of them are concentrated in major cities and towns, but there are no rural areas with relatively backward living standards.

This is mainly because the countryside in the world of Crimson Red Eyes is not a village in the traditional sense, but a hunting village.Every village lives in an environment surrounded by dangerous species, and every villager is a natural hunter.This makes them admire power very much, only believe in themselves, and will not pin their hopes on illusory gods.

Even if some villages are favored by the Anning Church and begin to believe in the Anning Church, the level of belief is not as crazy as the common people in the city.

The particularity of the villages made it difficult for the upper class of the empire to reach out to them. The only means of exploiting them was the annual tax collection.However, if the exploitation is excessive, most of these villages will directly refuse to pay taxes. Faced with this situation, most local officials have no way to do it.

The local army is no match for these villagers in the dense forest, and they cannot command the frontier army.This also makes the society extremely dark, but the villages far outside of civilization are at best poor and destitute, not to the point of starving to death.

With the large number of patrol teams of the Third Army conducting random spot checks on cities and towns, 56 incidents of blood sacrifice of babies were quickly detected in the southern and northern borders.No matter how strict the Third Legion's inspections were, it still couldn't prevent such things from happening.Because the child is in their hands, they have many opportunities to do such anti-human things, and it is too late when the Third Legion finds out.

Faced with this situation, the Third Legion is also preparing countermeasures. Since they sacrificed their children for their faith, they should use their faith to stop them.

Canal City, Air Force Base.

A large armed helicopter landed slowly, and a very handsome man in a white robe stepped down.The temperament of the man is very unique, giving people a very peaceful and comfortable feeling. This man is the leader of the Anning Church.

Next, two clergymen in religious attire walked down. Looking at the huge air force base and the parked steel monsters, everyone felt an indescribable sense of shock in their hearts.

Then the Bishop of Anning Church, led by several soldiers, came all the way to the headquarters.

At this time, in the command headquarters, all the senior officials of the Third Army gathered together.

The soldier gave a military salute to the senior officers of the Third Legion in the headquarters, and said, "Report! The representatives of the Anning Church have arrived."

Then the soldiers turned and left the room.

After a few polite words from both sides, the Bishop of Anning Church took the empty seat in front of him.

Li Anguo directly cut to the topic, saying: "The Empire wants the Church of Anning to stop the recent blood sacrifice of babies, and the Third Legion hopes that the Church can come up with effective plans or actions."

"The church feels very guilty and sorry about this incident." The handsome face of the Bishop of Anning Church was full of remorse.

"A few years ago, the church headquarters had been warning local churches against leading believers to perform this blood sacrifice. However, due to the fact that the church headquarters was too weak, and several other bishops united with local noble officials, the headquarters almost lost control of the local church. Church influence."

The Anning Church can be said to be aristocratic in success and noble in defeat.The original intention of the Bishop of the Anning Church was to use the strength and financial resources of the nobles to relieve the suffering civilians.However, what happened later made the Bishop of Anning Church realize that his thoughts were too naive.

How could the exploiters give up the oppression of the exploited because of a few teachings, they just changed the way.In essence, the oppression of the people remains the same, or even stronger, and the people are oppressed willingly because of their fanatical beliefs.

This has completely violated the original intention of the Anning Church bishop to establish the Anning Church. However, by the time the Anning Church leader found out, it was already too late.

Over the years, he has been trying to eliminate these distorted local churches, but no matter what method he uses, the church headquarters will be too weak to achieve the desired effect.Even later, the bishop of Anning Church began to seek help from outside forces.

For example, he started to cooperate with the Revolutionary Army a year ago. The Church provided the Revolutionary Army with the assistance and support of the people at the bottom, and the Revolutionary Army helped the Anning Church to clear the local churches.However, after only three short months of cooperation, the Bishop of Anning Church immediately realized that the revolutionary army and the nobles were the same.

Instead of helping the headquarters of the Anning Church to clean up the distorted local churches, the Revolutionary Army accepted bribes from the local nobles and churches.The bishop of the Anning Church was very disappointed by the revolutionary army's behavior of taking both sides.

"Then what is the church going to do?" Li Anguo asked.

The leader of the Anning Church thought for a while, and then replied: "The church intends to send a large number of clergy to spread the word in the northern and southern borders. To spread the true teachings and make the people realize that blood sacrifice is a wrong act."

Li Anguo was not surprised by the method mentioned by the leader of the Anning Church.The greatest strength of the Anning Church is its influence on the people. To really stop this kind of behavior, they can only rely on their beliefs.But Li Anguo is not satisfied with this method, because the efficiency is too low.

On the third day of the purely seven days of abundance, nearly 3 incidents of blood sacrifices to babies have occurred, and the seventh day of the real celebration has not yet come.By the time the Anning Church's persuasion took effect, the celebration would have ended long ago.

Li Anguo said: "This method is too slow. Next, the empire will give support to the church, open those local churches that are blocked, and help the church hold a grand seven days of abundance."

Blocking is worse than sparseness. The Third Army intends to use this celebration to let the oppressed people vent their inner pressure. At the same time, the Third Army intends to hold a liquidation trial on the seventh day, the highest peak of the celebration.

Trial all the nobles to attract the attention of the people, and at the same time use these nobles to increase the people's goodwill towards the Eastern Xia Empire.

Hearing Li Anguo's words, Anning Church and his group were very surprised.Shouldn't it be time to cancel the seven days of abundance to avoid blood sacrifices?

The leader of the Anning Church thought for a while, and immediately understood the intention of the Eastern Xia Empire.Instead of suppressing this celebration, it is better to let all civilians participate.After all, no matter how suppressed the Third Legion was, some believers who wanted to sacrifice babies with blood could still find a way to do so.

Next, the two sides entered the next topic, which was the plan for revising the teachings of the Anning Church. This is the main purpose of the Anning Church leader's visit today.

After a friendly conversation between the two parties, a new Tranquility Church doctrine was freshly baked.

Since the education at the headquarters of the Anning Church is very much in line with the moral values ​​of the Eastern Xia Empire, most of them guide believers to survive strongly and face life positively.So the Eastern Xia Empire didn't make too many changes, but just added one in front.

[Under the guidance and approval of His Majesty the Emperor, Anning Church will guide believers to contribute to social construction]
