My British Empire

Chapter 74 Uprising

Chester, (Chester), the capital of Cheshire in Northwest England, is located at the junction of Northwest England and Wales. The River Dee (RiverDee) flows through the city and echoes with the artificial canal, adding to Chester Richer cultural and historical atmosphere.

Before the rise of Liverpool, it was a well-known commercial place with a population of tens of thousands. It can be said that geographical factors accounted for the majority.

Chester was built in the Roman period (AD 79), when it was built by the Romans as a military fortress to defend against Welsh attacks in the south of the city.

The four main roads that run through the city center of Chester today still retain the style of nearly 2,000 years ago.

It was the most prosperous port in the 13th to 14th centuries. After the silting of the Dee River estuary and the rise of Liverpool, it declined. After the railway was opened in the 19th century, it became a commercial center again.

At this time, Liverpool has not risen for a long time, and Chester still retains the last glorious moment.

Chester Cathedral, located in the city of Chester, is the main church of the Chester Diocese of the Church of England. Formerly known as St Werburgh Abbey, the church is dedicated to Christ **** and the Virgin Mary. It has been the Bishop and pilgrimage center of Chester since 1541, as well as the administrative, festive and musical center of the city of Chester and its diocese.

So almost all the time, the church is crowded with pilgrims from all over the world to admire the grace of the Lord.

At this time, compared with the lively church hall in front of the church, in the luxurious teahouse behind the church, which is specially used for priests to rest, almost all the priests who are free gather here, and there are even a few local knights and gentlemen .

Everyone sat on chairs with serious faces, pretending to be listening. Almost no one dared to speak, let alone make any loud movements.

Most of the more than 20 priests wearing white cassocks are old, and only a few young people are dressed, but without exception, their faces are full of kindness, with a look of Show mercy to the world.

However, there was a bald old man standing among the crowd sitting around. With the majestic expression on his face, he could be seen as the Bishop of Chester Cathedral.

It is precisely because of Chester's prosperity that the church is very popular, which leads to the abnormal plump body of the church staff and their shiny faces.

Bishop Braun was born into a baronial family. Sadly, he was not the eldest son, so he was sent by his father to become a minor monk in the Catholic Church since he was a child.

Although the rule that Catholics cannot marry is difficult to deal with, he has many illegitimate children, and in Chester and Cheshire, his power and status are among the top few. This in turn contributed to his loyalty to Catholicism.

"Servants of the Lord, today I tell you all the reasons why you are here. And today, I believe that in order to spread the blessings of the Lord, all of us will definitely do whatever we can to spread the word again to the lambs of the Lord Gospel of the Lord!"

Bishop Braun spoke with great force, and his snow-white beard trembled with the movement of his lips. Matching the Mediterranean-like top of his head, he looked very happy, but the faces of everyone sitting there became more serious.

"My lord bishop is right. Recently, almost every month, believers have converted to the cults spread by heretics, and just yesterday, 30 believers turned their backs on our lord!"

An old man with a long beard on the side also echoed and chatted about the situation of his church, his face was full of anger, and his saliva was splashing freely.

"More than that, recently some heretics who betrayed our lord openly hugged women on the street, and what's more, there was a priest who even sent out invitations to invite guests to his wedding!"

"Gentlemen, what do you say will make those lambs think of us shepherds, and what qualifications do these heretics have to replace our Lord to shepherd those Lord's lambs!"

Looking at the old priest speaking angrily, a young priest didn't know if he felt the same way, speaking in a righteous tone.

"Those heretics who tamper with the words of our Lord are not worthy of spreading faith in our Lord, nor are they worthy of shepherding the lamb of the Lord!"

"We should launch a holy war, defend the faith of our Lord, and punish those heretics!"

Bishop Braun didn't say anything, but the youngest priest, Priest Crewe, shouted loudly, danced and danced, his acne-covered face flushed.

Bishop Braun knew Priest Crewe, who was also born into a baronial noble family. And he, who just turned nineteen this year, was pushed by his father to take charge of a small church.

And last month, London's Duke of Somerset's chapel was stripped and dissolved following a proposal pushed by the Duke of Somerset in London. Naturally, his position was lost, and he returned to the original point. Even the money his father bought was not recovered. Obviously, the business lost money.

So Bishop Braun understood the mood of Priest Crewe, so he acquiesced to his words and regarded him as the front row.

However, the words of Priest Crewe broke the originally lively atmosphere, and the scene was suddenly silent, even the old priest who had been complaining was silent.

Obviously, everyone sitting here didn't think about the jihad hundreds of years ago. After all, it was a gamble with their lives.

"I quite agree with Priest Crewe's views. Now it's time to perish! Servants of the Lord! What else do you have to worry about? With the blessing of the Lord, we have nothing to fear!"

Looking at a group of people with a look of fear, especially the priests he was optimistic about, he knew that he had to be encouraged.

"I believe that in order to defend the Lord's faith, the eight thousand believers in Chester will definitely support us!"

Bishop Braun threw out the Catholic believers in Chester, and sure enough, everyone's faces improved a lot!

He knew that he had to impress the representatives of these places, so as to launch a fatal blow to those who believed in heresy.

"Moreover, our respected Lord Raleigh David also agrees with our approach to safeguarding the Lord's faith. He said that the Cheshire militiamen will remain silent!"

Rayleigh David is the sheriff of Cheshire, that is, the county lieutenant. In order to take care of everyone’s reading sense, let’s call it the sheriff!

As the official force with the largest military force in Cheshire, his statement almost confirmed the greatest guarantee for the priests' victory this time!

At that time, these magistrates represented the king locally, so they had a standing army of close to 300 to 500 people, which was the greatest guarantee for local stability.

"My lord bishop! In order to safeguard the glory of the Lord, I think it is inevitable to launch a jihad!"

"Yes! Your Excellency, even if I sacrifice my life, I will let the glory of the Lord shine on the whole of England!"...

After everyone expressed their willingness to launch a jihad, Bishop Braun narrowed his eyes and said loudly:

"Gentlemen, for the sake of the Lord, let us unite and defeat heresy!"

"Down with heresy!" "Down with heresy!"......
