Chapter 4515 Chapter 4517 [Revolt]
While several major European powers were at war, Xiang Nan also began to incite members of the Goddess Church to rebel.
The Church of the Goddess members of Saint Lucia in the Caribbean fired the first shot of resistance.
Saint Lucia was formerly the territory of the Indians. In 1639, the British first invaded the island. After that, the French drove away the British and became the new owners of Saint Lucia.
They built farms here to produce sugar, tobacco, cotton, etc., and thus purchased a large number of black slaves.
The life of these black slaves was extremely miserable. They had to complete heavy work, but their food and housing conditions were very poor. If you slack off even a little bit, you will be beaten by the supervisor. Some disobedient black slaves will even be deliberately executed to scare the monkeys.
Therefore, in order to seek rescue and shelter, they began to believe in the Sea Goddess Cult, and gradually formed a powerful force. After the black slaves united, they began to gradually resist the rule of slave owners.
The slave owners naturally refused to do it and beat these black slaves brutally. They also asked the local governor to send troops to suppress them and wanted to teach these disobedient black slaves a lesson.
So the war began.
At the beginning, the black slaves suffered heavy losses. Because although they have organizational skills, they lack weapons and ammunition, let alone strategic and tactical guidance.
But soon, Xiang Nan received the news.
Then, he invited the Amazon Queen to help.
On the one hand, Xiang Nan didn't dare to go out on his own, so he asked Alektra to help him explore the way. In this way, even if something happens in the future, God will punish her, but not himself. This is called a dead Taoist friend who is not dead but a poor Taoist.
On the one hand, the Amazons are a pure fighting nation, and they have all been equipped with flying armors in recent years, and their combat effectiveness has been greatly enhanced.
Although they still use cold weapons, according to Xiang Nan's estimation, they can now be called invincible. Because even if the shells hit them directly, they would only be injured.
With such an invincible army at its disposal, Saint Lucia's revolution is certain to succeed.
…
Amazon Queen Alka readily agreed to Xiang Nan's request.
Because the Amazons are a fighting nation, and they were born to fight. But they have been trapped on the island for thousands of years and have been suffering for a long time.
Moreover, Xiang Nan provided them with advanced armor and advanced martial arts, which greatly enhanced their combat capabilities and self-protection capabilities. Therefore, Alka also wanted to go out and test the quality of the current tribe.
Then one hundred Amazon female warriors, led by Alka, parachuted into Saint Lucia to help the black slaves attack the French army.
When these Amazon female warriors wearing golden armor and flying in the sky appeared, both the black slaves and the French colonists were stunned.
"Angel~"
"Oh God~"
"Is that an angel?"
Then the Amazon female warriors bravely charged into the battle, showing no fear in the face of the colonists' guns. The colonists' guns could not hurt them at all, and they were defeated easily.
Subsequently, the black people of Saint Lucia officially established their own country, Saint Lucia, with the priests of the Goddess Church as the head of state and designated the Goddess Church as the state religion.
Saint Lucia's independence not only caused a sensation in the Caribbean waters, but also caused great repercussions around the world. First, the appearance of the soaring, indestructible, bright and moving "female angel" really surprised the world; second, it was the first time that black slaves successfully resisted white colonists and established their own country. This is an unprecedented first time.
Xiang Nan immediately sent down an "oracle", announcing that these Amazon female warriors were angels under the command of the goddess Corybusso.
They are the swords and spears in the hands of the goddess. They are responsible for executing the will of the goddess, and the goddess advocates equality and freedom, so where there is oppression, there is resistance.
As long as they pray sincerely and sacrifice themselves, the goddess will send angels to earth to help believers defeat powerful enemies.
As a result, the oppressed and bullied believers in other areas united to resist the hegemony and coercion of the colonists and rulers.
Congregants in the Caribbean, America, Africa, Asia, Australia and even Europe began to rebel. Their slogan was "for equality, for freedom, against hegemony, and against bullying."
And Xiang Nan also strongly supported them, providing money, food, people, and weapons...
…
Xiang Nan believes that now is the time to fight.
Because now is the mid-eighteenth century, and the world is in an era of great change.
Technology is advancing rapidly. Textile machines and steam engines have been invented or are in the process of being invented. The industrial revolution will begin a little later.
At that time, due to the rapid growth of productivity, the wealth and capital of the upper class rulers will accumulate more and more, and it will become increasingly difficult for the middle and lower class people to have a chance to stand up.
And even if they rise up to fight, they probably won't be able to defeat the upper-level rulers. Because they have better weapons, more food and wages, and more funds, they can hire more troops.
Just like the Paris Commune uprising, although they initially won, they were soon counterattacked by French capitalists and the Prussian army, and ultimately failed.
Most of the believers of the Goddess Church are middle- and lower-class people. They don't have much capital and wealth, so they should attack now if they can, otherwise the longer they delay, the more trouble they will get.
In addition, the Enlightenment Movement also broadened people's wisdom, and more and more people were unwilling to be enslaved, restrained, and suppressed.
Therefore, the voices calling for freedom and equality and resisting feudal oppression and autocratic rule are getting louder and louder. It is time for the people to change their minds.
For example, thirteen states in North America are brewing to resist British oppression and decide to establish an independent country; George II of the United Kingdom likes to wage wars abroad, and Spain, Austria, and France have all become his targets.
However, successive years of war have also led to an empty state treasury, so the only way to make up for the shortfall is to increase taxes on citizens, which has also led to growing dissatisfaction among the people.
King Louis XV of France lived a lavish life and was keen on luxury and enjoyment. For this reason, he issued a large number of banknotes without gold reserves. As a result, the value of banknotes plummeted, causing serious domestic inflation, and countless people's life savings were wiped out.
But Louis XV not only didn't care, but continued to live happily. It was he who said the famous saying "I will not care about the flood after I die."
Therefore, Xiang Nan knows that now is what the people want, and when people's minds change, as long as they take the opportunity to rise up, the world may be turned upside down.
Moreover, the European powers are busy fighting the Seven Years' War, and Europe is the main battlefield, so they cannot take care of Central America, South America, Africa, Australia, Asia and other regions for the time being.
Therefore, it is the time to rebel. After passing this village, it is very likely that this store will no longer exist.
Therefore, Xiang Nan gave his full support and provided a large amount of money, food, and weapons.
With his full support, the Goddess Church also achieved successive victories.
