Chapter 49 Deusvult!
Ahmed knew what was going on in Leonard's mind right now, so he must have cried out that he was wronged. How could he be renegade now? He was clearly blamed by the unscrupulous people in the field.
If he hadn't met a cunning guy who claimed to be the second son of Jehovah, how could he have ended up like this? First, the elite private soldiers were easily killed, and then he himself was imprisoned.
Not long afterward, all his sons were sent over to keep him company, and dozens of members of the family, including young and old, and private soldiers, only a few people died...
Now Leonard is still thinking about how to kill Ahmed's entire family, so that he can get rid of all the property that Shuo Shu has hoarded over the years.
No one is going to survive this!
Of course, Leonard couldn't understand the plight of the tax collector, and Ahmed didn't know that he was about to die and someone could still target his family property.
"Charleson! Jacques! Claude!"
Leonard called out three names one after another, and then he heard the three knights behind him. They immediately stood upright and replied in unison: "Yes!"
"The three of you each set up a patrol team to inspect each tax farming area and supervise the illegal activities of tax collectors! Once you discover tax deductions or concealment, arrest the tax collectors immediately! Force them to hand over huge ransoms."
"Yes!"
Immediately afterwards, Leonard shouted again: "Eric!"
"Here!"
"From now on, you will lead your troops to the town of Alhadi, arrest the tax collector Ahmed's family, kill them all, and re-calculate and levy this year's summer tax on local residents."
"Yes!"
As he spoke, Leonard touched his chin, and then continued: "The local residents must hand over 60% of the grain, and at least 50% must be delivered to the castle. In addition, in the name of the kingdom, we will launch an expedition against Saladin." One tax, and tell the Franks that they will also have to pay a poll tax starting from this year.”
Leonard's eyes narrowed into slits, and there was a hint of cruelty in his gaze.
"By the way Eric, don't forget, any village that can't pay taxes after a day's delay, you can just go to the eleventh day and kill them, and anyone who dares to resist us..." Leonard paused as he spoke. Then laugh heartily.
After Leonard restrained his wanton smile, he lowered his voice and continued: "Remember one thing, don't kill everyone, otherwise no one will be able to remember what I did. I hope that about me The story can be sung for thousands of years.”
He is over sixty years old and has been imprisoned in Aleppo for seventeen years. He has already gone crazy, leaving only deep-seated hatred.
human nature? What is human nature? Now he is just a body filled with hatred, not caring about his own life, let alone the lives of others!
Now, he only longs to be able to insert the cross in Mecca, the holy land of those pagans, before dying on his bed!
He will give those pagans the ultimate humiliation that will be unforgettable for thousands of years!
I want to beat them to the ground so that they will never be able to raise their heads or speak!
"Deusvult!"
Leonard opened his mouth and spat out a sentence in Latin. This was the famous saying that Pope Urban II shouted loudly at the Council of Clermont when he encouraged Christians to organize a crusade.
Meaning: It’s destiny!
……
Under the flickering candlelight, Gairis was in the study of Ahmed's house, writing down what he had seen and heard in these days, and recorded the words he had said one by one.
Garris is also sorting out the information about his claim to be the second son of Jehovah and his death for Jesus.
To be honest, he doesn't pay much attention to these things. To put it bluntly, founding a religion is just a means, not an end.
So these lies that were told in order to establish a religion are actually quite hypocritical, but it is also related to the people's view of themselves, and Garris cannot do anything wrong by himself. Even if he wants to mess around, Garris must grasp some basic laws to avoid too many contradictions.
Nowadays, on the Christian side, he claims to be the second son of Heavenly Father and the biological brother of Jesus; while on the Islamic side, he claims that he is one and the same with Jesus and is a reclusive prophet who was born thousands of years ago.
These are Gareth's own identities, thus clarifying his guiding position to the Order.
Then Garris had to conclude the essential difference between his Taiping Order and other religions.
Based on Qalis's contact with the Muslim community these days, he is clearly aware of some of the problems of the current religion.
Most current religions actually aim to alleviate or cover up social conflicts.
When productivity is not developed enough and material wealth is not sufficient, more spiritual wealth is used to make up for it.
It is creating an afterlife that is different from the miserable current situation, so that believers can better endure the current plight.
Among them, Islam is more progressive. At least at the beginning of writing the Quran, the Prophet had a vision beyond the times and could guide the Arabs on a miraculous path.
But as far as the current situation is concerned, Garris feels that no other religion at the moment can systematically guide believers to create more material wealth and thereby change the current situation.
These religions are unable to move mankind from a stage of absolute poverty and material scarcity to an era of relative abundance through the development of productivity models.
After grasping this key point, Garris had an idea.
First of all, Gallis needs to criticize: other current religions place too much emphasis on the afterlife, so much so that they ignore the suffering in this world to a considerable extent.
Secondly, Garris needs to point out that true religion should not only guide believers to heaven in the afterlife, but must also reverse misery in this life.
Finally, Gareth needs to make it clear: poverty has never been a necessary condition for reaching heaven. Only those who are willing to contribute to social development and promote the progress of the times are the true saints.
After refining these key points, Garris began writing quickly.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in! The door is unlocked."
Isabel pushed the door open, came to Garris, and said softly: "John is here, and he is bringing others with him."
"Let John come to see me."
In these days, Garris has completed contact with the village of Skar. After sorting out the current situation, Garris felt that the Ahmed family's mansion did not need to be abandoned and could be used as a temporary place to stay.
On the one hand, this mansion is some distance from Alhadi Town, so it will not be harassed by the townspeople. On the other hand, the distance from here to Skaar Village and Monterey Village is actually about the same, making it easy to communicate.
After establishing a temporary foothold, Garris asked John to come over so that he could explain the next plan.
After a while, John, who had a dirty look on his face, sat down next to Garris.
Garris went straight to the point and said: "Reynard is back, and he will definitely not ignore Alhadi Town. We must start preparing for war now!"
The third update, this is an additional update for the monthly ticket of 500,
Then I beg you again, everyone, don’t read books next Monday and Tuesday, because that will determine whether I can go to Sanjiang!
After Sanjiang is put on the shelves, I will definitely do my best to update it!
