Fox of France

Before dawn, Father Miquel Hidalgo Costia got up as usual to prepare for his crusade. Father Hidalgo is a native white Mexican. In Mexico, people are classified. The first category is the so-called "Peninsularians", that is, "authentic Spaniards" born on the Iberian Peninsula. They are the true masters of Mexico, controlling the top church and political power, holding large tracts of land, and occupying various interests.

The second class is the so-called "Native Whites". They are also known as "Creoles", that is, white people born in the Spanish colonies. They are also theoretically Spanish, exactly like the authentic Peninsular. But in fact it is not so.

After the Spaniards occupied Mexico, they killed a large number of local aborigines and sent a large number of poor people from the Iberian Peninsula to America. Poor women who can travel across the ocean are relatively rare, so in Mexico, there is naturally a shortage of women.

If this problem is not resolved, it is impossible for the Mexican colony to maintain long-term stability. The solution to this problem is actually relatively simple, that is, kill Indian men and take away their women. So the problem was solved smoothly. In Mexico, the Indian population continued to decline and the white population continued to rise. However, these white people often have an Indian mother or Indian grandmother.

Therefore, in the eyes of authentic pure-blooded "Peninsula people", although "Native-born white people" are white people in name, they are not pure enough. They have brought with them low-level "Muggle" blood and become low-level "Mudbloods" .

Therefore, although they are still legally recognized as Hispanics and whites, "indigenous whites" are generally excluded from high-level church and state institutions. All industrial and commercial activities (such as textile workshops, vineyards, olive groves, lending, etc.) that competed with the mother country were also prohibited.

The third class is the Indians with a smaller number. They had the lowest status and many were slaves. In addition, the taxes they bear are higher than other levels.

As a result, the "native white people" feel that they have become the subject of oppression. They feel that after running from the old continent to the new continent, they will still be bullied by the nobles.

In the old continent, the nobles and priests bullied us; in the New World, the nobles and priests still bullied us, so didn’t we come to the New World for nothing?

This hierarchy, in Joseph's words, still has a positive meaning. And the biggest positive meaning is to prove one point: "human stupidity can reach such an astonishing level!"

When discussing his plans for the colonization of North America, Joseph said to his brothers:

"Originally, in politics, a basic principle should be to unite more people to deal with our enemies. To put it more clearly, it is to pull all the people who can bring us down as much as possible. , make our people more numerous, and make the enemy's people fewer.

But what about the fools in Spain? The original native whites are naturally political fellow travelers of the Spaniards, but the Spaniards insist on holding them down. As a result, native whites have become Spain's enemies. It is no wonder that their rule is not in trouble! "

Since the Spaniards took jujube pills under American rule, it would be cheaper for others than to be cheaper for France. Therefore, although France and Spain are allies, the Bonaparte brothers still feel that they are really sorry for the stupid posture of the Spaniards if they don't take the opportunity to cheat the Spaniards.

On the other hand, although the current situation in France is good, with the rapid increase in production capacity, the market capacity is gradually tightening. In order to pass on the contradictions, the domestic and even those restless elements in the European continent were sent out. Lucien formulated a plan called "Utopia". He intends to deceive those guys in the country to Louisiana and let them go there to realize their ideals. This can be regarded as misfortune.

This plan later added the content of using Indians to make trouble for the "city on the hill". So in order to distinguish it from the "City on the Hill", the project was renamed "God's Tent".

Those restless factors, under the deliberate guidance of the "Ministry of Truth", really bought a lot of land in northern Louisiana and set up their "God's Tent". Like all religions based on the Abrahamic series, the "Revolutionary Theology" sect also has a high missionary enthusiasm. In their teachings, Saint Paul's mission to Rome is explained as follows:

"Take up the cross and walk, but take the redemption of the entire human race, that is, the liberation of the entire human race as our goal. Of course, we can first establish a city-state in the New World where everyone is equal and free from oppression and slavery. But we are only satisfied with This is not enough. Everyone is a part of the world. If every brother in the world has not been redeemed and liberated, it means that we have not been completely redeemed and liberated. A true Christian can only get all human beings. Only when he has been redeemed and liberated can he be truly liberated. This is why Saint Paul took the risk to spread the Gospel to Rome."

So the pastors of the "revolutionary theology" were based in Louisiana and spread their teachings everywhere. They even established a "Liberation Seminary" in what is today the Nebraska settlement of Hope City.

Hidalgo received his theological training at the Valladolid Seminary in Spain, where he earned a master's degree in theology. Then he returned to Mexico, ready to continue his career as a priest. On the way back, he met a "liberation theology" pastor, and the two had an argument over some theological issues. Hidalgo felt that the priest named Benjamin was simply a cursed heretic, so he couldn't help attacking Pastor Benjamin with vicious words.

Unexpectedly, Pastor Benjamin laughed out loud. He said to Hidalgo: "Pastor Hidalgo, I understand why you are so excited, because what I said is what you have already felt. You are not against me, you are against your inner voice. Well, I don't agree with you. You are arguing, it’s getting late, I’m the last person who can’t stay up late. If you are still interested in theological issues in the future, you can also knock on my door, um, I’m in the cabin next door.”

Pastor Benjamin went to sleep in his own cabin, and Hidalgo also lay on his bed, but couldn't fall asleep. Benjamin had stopped arguing with Hidalgo. But Hidalgo continued to quarrel with Reverend Benjamin in his own mind.

In this debate, Hidalgo suffered a crushing defeat. He was refuted by the priest Benjamin in his heart, and even became angry with embarrassment. At one point, the idea of ​​"take the knife and go next door and kill that Satan" even came up.

For several days after that, Hidalgo hid in his cabin, did not leave the cabin except for meals, and did not talk to anyone. In this way, he locked himself in the cabin for a week, and it was not until the ship was about to reach America that Hidalgo walked out of his cabin and knocked on the door of Pastor Benjamin's cabin.

According to Hidalgo's original itinerary, he should take the boat all the way to the port of Altamira to disembark. But this time, he went ashore in New Orleans with Pastor Benjamin, and then changed to another inland sailboat and went upstream along the Mississippi River to the Liberation Seminary in Hope City.

At Liberation Seminary, Hidalgo stayed for two months, but those two months had a profound impact on him. According to his own statement, it was in the "Liberation Seminary" that he really knew God and the truth for the first time. The fog that had covered his eyes before instantly dissipated, and everything in this world appeared clear and clear.

A little more than two months later, Hidalgo returned to Mexico and, with a master's certificate from the Valladolid Theological Seminary, he managed to obtain the diocesan priesthood in the Diocese of Dolores. Became head of the entire Catholic Diocese of Dolores.

This is the highest position a "Native White" can attain in the church.

The Diocese of Dolores had many Indians who had converted to Catholicism, as well as "Native Whites" with some Indian blood. But neither the Indians as Muggles nor the "Native Whites" as mudbloods had a hard time. The land here is considered fertile, and crops such as corn are not well harvested. The Spanish taxes here are quite high.

In fact, the climatic characteristics of the Dolores region are quite suitable for growing crops such as grapes and olives. But in order to ensure that Spanish wine and olive oil can be sold at high prices in Mexico. Grapes and olives are banned throughout Mexico.

So Father Hidalgo took advantage of his identity and status to help these Indians and "Native Whites" get grapes and olives, help them make wine and oil, and then sell them through underground channels.

These practices have benefited many local people, and Father Hidalgo has gradually gained the love of the local people. More and more people came to listen to his sermon every day. Following this opportunity, Father Hidalgo gradually added some "revolutionary theology" content to his sermons. And these contents made those Indians and poor native whites feel that he was their caring person. Today, more and more people are united with Father Hidalgo.

Father Hidalgo organized the Indians and native whites who grew grapes and olives to form a "mutual aid association", and began to hoard weapons through some underground channels on the grounds of "dealing with anti-smuggling teams".

Today is another sermon day, and Father Hidalgo made preparations early. But he knew it would be a while before anyone would come. But at this time, there was a rush of horseshoes outside the church.
