Chen Shaohong listened to the conversation between Lu Liang and Zhu Guangjun and already understood what Lu Liang was going to do.
Chen Shaohong immediately expressed his dissatisfaction:
"The children and the slave girls can be delivered to you, but the men must be executed, publicly executed.
"Let the Westerners in the colonies see what these monks are like.
"This is what appears to be benevolence and morality, but in reality men are thieves and women are prostitutes..."
Then Lu Liang and Chen Shaohong looked at Zhu Guangjun.
This kind of matter involves civil affairs. According to the rules of the Ming Dynasty army, the actual decision-maker is Zhu Guangjun.
Jeffrey is also a clever person. Based on the conversation and reactions of the three people just now, he has already figured out several endings for himself.
The first is to be directly executed, either by shooting or hanging, either privately or publicly.
Then he left the clues and worked for the Ming West Factory in the future, but on the surface he was still a high-level French colonial official.
In order to get deeper information, Xichang may even help himself to continue to be promoted.
Although he would have to be controlled by others for the rest of his life, Jeffrey was frightened and frightened.
But it is better to die than live.
Moreover, now that what he has done is exposed, there is no chance for him to die well now.
When Ming Dynasty executes his colleagues, he will definitely make what he did public.
It was used to attack the prestige of France and the church, and to undermine the stable order of the Yinzhou colony.
Thinking about it this way, if you work for Xichang in the future, you can prevent Daming from making these things public.
On the contrary, it was conducive to stabilizing the situation in the colonies, maintaining France's control over the colonies, and protecting the reputation and prestige of the church and the French government.
Therefore, when I work for Xichang, I am not surrendering. I am bearing the humiliation and bear the burden and being public-minded.
At the same time, Jeffrey also found the person who really decided his destiny:
"Lord Governor, spare your life! I will not be punished until death! I am willing to work for Xichang and the Ming Dynasty!"
As the person in charge of the ideological work of the Ming Dynasty army, Zhu Guangjun's thinking perspective is slightly different from that of Lu Liang and Chen Shaohong.
Although Zhu Guangjun did not know Zhu Jingyuan's ideal goal in Yinzhou, he understood what was in the best interest of Ming Dynasty.
To undermine the stability of the British and French Yinzhou colonies, it would be best to plunge them into civil strife or even melee, causing their development to completely stagnate or even reverse.
This is the most beneficial thing for Ming Dynasty and Ming Dynasty Yinzhou Colony.
Based on the current situation, making Jeffrey a special employee of the West Factory may not bring huge benefits in destabilizing the French colony.
Jeffrey is not willing to become a offline, and will definitely find a way to get rid of control.
The key is that this level of decision-making cannot be made by the governor of his own department.
Zhu Guangjun said after thinking deeply:
“Let’s finish what we need to do and submit it to the operations command to make a decision.
"Teacher Lu, after the cameras arrive, we will get the files you need to organize them according to your needs.
"Old Chen, you ordered people to seal off and control the scene, and all other handover matters will proceed normally.
"There should be a telegraph line in this city, which should be able to communicate directly with the rear."
Chen Shaohong and Lu Liang understood Zhu Guangjun's logic and could only reluctantly agree temporarily.
Zhu Guangjun took people to take over the telegraph center and sent messages to Xintianfu and Haijiao Huangzhuang.
Lu Liang took command of the prostitutes and arranged some exciting "plots" for Mr. Jeffrey.
Although the camera cannot record directly, continuous photos can still tell the story.
Jeffrey's life was at stake, so he had no choice but to do as he was told.
Jeffrey comforted himself in his heart that even if he refused, the other party could force the arrangement.
There are too many legendary stories in Xichang, such as veritaserum, hypnotism, castration and claustrophobic human flesh...
The matter in the church basement was quickly sent to the receiving governor of Beiyinzhou.
Considering that the impact of this matter may be relatively large, a copy was directly sent to the peace negotiation delegation of Xiyang Cape Huangzhuang.
The main purpose is to ask the delegation if they have any opinions and whether they will be useful in subsequent negotiations.
After Shen Fu saw the news, he went directly to Zhu Jingyuan.
Zhu Jingyuan listened to Shen Fu's explanation and looked at the detailed contents of the telegram in his hand, feeling quite stunned for several seconds.
In my previous life, I had always heard related legends, but now the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty had caught them.
After Shen Fu waited for Zhu Jingyuan to read it, he briefly explained his thoughts:
"Your Highness, can Jeffrey be allowed to cooperate with Napoleon and even crown Napoleon in the future?
"This will not only help us control the current situation in the French Yinzhou colony, but will also be beneficial to controlling the court established by Napoleon in the future.
"Even when necessary, Jeffrey, who holds a high position in Napoleon's court, can be abandoned to attack Napoleon's prestige."
Zhu Jingyuan subconsciously wanted to nod, but then quickly suppressed these thoughts.
Zhu Jingyuan thought that he knew Napoleon better than Shen Fu and others. He was not an ordinary military leader who wanted to separate his own empire.
Napoleon may not care about the origin of his title now.
With the Eastern method of obtaining imperial power, you may not necessarily need a bishop or even a pope to crown yourself.
If Napoleon knew about Jeffrey, Napoleon might kill Jeffrey and sacrifice the flag to increase his reputation among the people.
Rather than letting Napoleon use it, it would be better for Ming Dynasty to use it.
So Zhu Jingyuan explained his thoughts to Shen Fu:
"Mr. Shen, I think we can indeed do that, but things after that may not always be under our control.
"I think we can think about it another way...
"Regarding the Quebec church, what if we openly showed the truth to all residents of Quebec?
“Then we publicly executed all the prisoners.
"In doing so, it should be able to weaken the French colonial authorities and the influence of the French church in the local area...
“Making the situation in the French colony of Beiyinzhou even more chaotic.
"This should be more beneficial to us, right?
"Which method is more advantageous, using Jeffrey as an insider or directly executing him like this?"
Shen Fu thought seriously for a while:
"My idea is to use 'instruments', which can be regarded as a conspiracy. The plan depends on people and the success depends on heaven.
"This incident may damage my reputation as a great Ming Dynasty.
"His Highness's perspective is to create 'momentum', which is a conspiracy, taking advantage of the situation without fear of failure.
"It will strengthen my reputation even more.
“I think His Highness’s idea is more suitable.
"We can ask people from the Ministry of Rites to cooperate and provide appropriate guidance and plans."
Zhu Jingyuan nodded lightly:
"Well...well, this matter really needs to be left to professionals.
"But, do you want to tell Napoleon? Let him wait for an opportunity?"
Shen Fu smiled:
"I don't think I need to tell him specifically. I can take the initiative to publish the news in the Haijiao Huangzhuang newspaper after starting the action.
"If Napoleon paid attention to current news, he would have seen it himself. If he couldn't see it himself, the people around him would have discussed it."
Zhu Jingyuan also smiled:
"That's right, then let's do it."
So, in the afternoon of Yinzhou Eastern Time, the public trial of the Quebec church began.
The New Tianfu Army, which has arrived in Quebec one after another, has reached one guard and has completely controlled the urban order in Quebec.
A large number of citizens stranded in Quebec were summoned and driven to the square in front of the church.
It is very normal to gather in churches. Ordinary citizens thought that something important was about to be announced, so they did not resist it much.
Several local elderly people were brought into the church and first visited the church basement.
The scene witnessed the luxurious environment of the underground pleasure den, and the tragic conditions of the female slaves and children.
These old people were all stunned. They looked at several church personnel with conservative personalities, with disbelief on their faces:
"Father Jeffrey?"
"Is this really the basement of a church?"
A few people with bad tempers waved their fists and wanted to hit people:
"You bunch of beasts!"
"What did you do in Our Lady's church?"
When the Taixi people saw these situations, they were far more excited than the Ming people, because they were of the same kind.
Chen Shaohong asked the soldiers to control the situation at the scene, otherwise Jeffrey, who had worked hard for a long time as an actor, would definitely be beaten.
Under the escort and supervision of Ming soldiers, these old men took their children and slave girls out of the basement and came to the porch in front of the church.
Zhu Guangjun found two Minghua people to serve as translators. They stood on the two chapters table with a copper foil trumpet and translated Zhu Guangjun's words into French and shouted them out.
Zhu Guangjun clearly announced the situation in the church basement and what the Ming soldiers discovered.
The entire venue quickly became a mess.
Many people were emotionally broken and could not believe what Zhu Guangjun had disclosed.
"Our God!"
"how so……"
"This is not true, is it."
"How could Mr. Jeffrey be such a person..."
But prostitutes, slave girls, and children with scars all over their bodies did come out of the church.
There happened to be a relative of the child at the scene.
A woman in her thirties ran out screaming when she saw those children:
"That's a char...little char...my sister's char..."
Coincidence...or maybe it was inevitable. Most of the children who appeared under the church were not specially found from other places.
The woman was the aunt of a little boy. She rushed directly under the porch and hugged the shivering little boy.
The little boy who had been confused for a long time burst into tears when he saw his relatives:
"Auntie...Auntie..."
When Zhu Guangjun saw the situation, he immediately asked the Minghua members to question him, confirm the other party's identity, and asked others to continue shouting to announce it.
The woman was also crying while explaining what happened:
“My sister and I went to church to pray, and when we came back we found that the child was missing.
"We have been looking for several days, but we didn't expect to find it inside the church...
"I still can't believe this is true..."
Not long after, another relative of the slave girl slowly recognized her relative, and then rushed under the porch to cry in her arms.
It turned out that those female slaves were not real slave women, but some were just ordinary immigrant children who were imprisoned.
In the face of these hard facts, the immigrants at the scene had no choice but to believe that what they saw were facts.
Under this sacred place in front of us, there is actually a hiding place of filth and evil.
Many people have complaints about the church, and after finding a way to vent their anger, they curse.
After Zhu Guangjun briefly explained the situation, he began to actively guide the atmosphere at the scene.
Start arranging for the mother and the young man to visit the basement, and let them explain the situation inside after they come out.
It was also announced that the church will remain open and anyone will be allowed to visit below in the future.
The whole square soon became agitated, and soon some people could not control their emotions and acted.
Many angry parents rushed to the porch, grabbed Jeffrey and several monks, and beat them with all their strength.
Jeffrey and others screamed for help at the top of their lungs, but no one came to rescue them.
Chen Shaohong looked at the surging crowd, retreated slightly with his soldiers, and at the same time asked the warlord Zhu Guangjun beside him:
"Overseer... we really don't need to worry about them?"
Zhu Guangjun said with a serious expression:
"This is a plan arranged by the Ministry of Rites. Let the people beat them to death, and then hang them in the most conspicuous place for display.
"Old Chen, do you think it's better to hang it at the door of the church or on the bridge?"
Chen Shaohong was stunned for a moment, raised his head subconsciously, then immediately shook his head and said:
"This church should serve as the temporary headquarters of our guards from now on. Don't you think it would be unlucky to have a few of these things hanging at the door?
"And since this place has become a headquarters, ordinary Western barbarians cannot be allowed to come close, and they will no longer be able to see it.
"We used to hang it at the city gate. There is no city gate where people often go in and out, so we should hang it on the bridge."
Zhu Guangjun nodded in agreement:
"Then hang it on the bridge, on the other end of the bridge, so that Xiyi over there can see it at any time."
In the end, Jeffrey and several of the monks involved were beaten to death by the angry crowd.
Zhu Guangjun did not continue to provide too much guidance.
These people will become immigrants and may stay on the other side of Quebec, or they may go to other cities, or even return to the West.
They will spread the relevant news through word of mouth.
They are not the main force in delivering the message, they are the ones who verify the message.
Because the world already has transoceanic telegraphs and newspapers.
The Ming Army completely took over the Quebec church and did not allow priests and monks to relocate.
Let the soldiers escort all church personnel directly and drive them directly to the other side of the Quebec Bridge.
The bodies of Jeffrey and others will then be hung on the Quebec Bridge.
The next day, relevant news appeared in local newspapers in Beiyinzhou and Xintianfu.
The already oppressive atmosphere in the Beiyinzhou colony was in an uproar, and their dislike of the French colonial authorities reached a critical point.
On the third day, more newspapers reprinted the relevant news, including Xiyang Cape Huangzhuang and newspapers in the Ming Dynasty.
Large-scale riots occurred in many cities in the French colony of Yinzhou.
The fourth day was the mid-autumn day of the 34th year of Taiping.
In this festival that has spread all over the world, the French colony of Yinzhou gave a great gift to the French and the church.
Newspapers all over the world reprinted and reported on the events in the Quebec church.
Driven by the personnel of the Ming Dynasty Rites Department and the West Factory, the speed of information dissemination was very fast.
Before the church and the French court took any action, it had already appeared in major mainstream newspapers and spread throughout society.
After receiving the news, King Louis XVI of France slapped the table with a newspaper and shouted:
"Devils, these people are demons!"
The red archbishop next to him echoed with a serious expression:
“Yes, these Ming people are demons, especially Xichang.
“The people from the West Factory must have used despicable means to kidnap poor Jeffrey.
"Forced him to do things that went against his good intentions..."
Louis XVI said with some annoyance:
“That’s not the point, the point is what should we do now?
“The Yinzhou colony is becoming more and more chaotic, and we must respond.
The fifth Duke of Richelieu, who was not far away, immediately said:
“Let the church deal with the damage to its own reputation.
"The imperial court must also immediately control the spread of the incident and prohibit newspapers from continuing to spread relevant news.
“Send more main forces to Yinzhou, put capable generals in charge, and prepare to suppress possible unrest.
“Communicate with Daming and try to prevent the relevant situation from continuing to expand.
"We might even pay something for it."
Louis XVI subconsciously asked:
"Then who will be in charge of the Yinzhou troops?"
The Duke of Richelieu thought for a moment and said:
"Napoleon Bonaparte."
