I watched Er Chuang’s short video, and everything went numb!

Da Ming Hongwu plane.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Henry IV on the giant screen in the sky, and a trace of admiration flashed in his eyes.

He is flexible and decisive. This person is indeed extraordinary.

……

[When the Hohenstaufen monarchs invaded Italy, the Italian Guelphs rebelled against the emperor under the banner of the Pope. ]

[In this regard, Dante pointed out that these people who took the banner of the Pope did not really obey the Pope. ]

[There has never been any dispute between imperial power and religious power. Imperial power and religious power are just a cover for secular monarchs. ]

……

Many emperors in all dynasties nodded slightly.

After watching the previous content of the video, they have fully understood that the Pope himself does not have much power.

The power of the Pope comes entirely from the secular supporters behind him.

Of course, this is the actual situation.

In legal terms, because of the Western "divine right of kings" theory, the church does have the theoretical possibility of competing with the imperial power.

Thinking of this.

Many emperors shook their heads.

In a sense, this actually means that the imperial power of these Western countries is not that strong.

Because accepting "divine right of kings" is essentially a compromise of the imperial power.

If there is a choice, these emperors believe that Western emperors should not want to see the church compete with the imperial power.

That's not even a theoretical possibility.

……

[The secular monarchs of Western Europe made the Bishop of Rome successful, allowing him to completely break with the Eastern Church and claim to be the leader of the world J. ]

[They also harmed the Bishop of Rome and used the same method to bring about a new split. ]

[In the 16th century, when theologians such as Luther and Calvin demanded religious reform, they received support from secular monarchs. 】

[This allowed them to avoid the fate of many reformers being denounced as heretics over the centuries, and JD Protestantism emerged. 】

[In this way, when the secular empire split, the J Church was inevitably split. 】

[Innocent III, the most powerful pope in the Middle Ages, said, "The pope is the sun, the king is the moon, and the moon gets its glory from the sun." 】

...

In many dynasties, many emperors sneered, with mockery flashing in their eyes.

This statement of the pope is really ridiculous.

It's okay to deceive the common people who don't know the truth, but for these emperors, after reading the previous content, they already know that this is not the case at all.

It is the support of the secular regime that gives the pope power, not the other way around.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

Innocent III became the most powerful pope in the Middle Ages because he was a very smart man who could make full use of the conflicts between European countries and between the emperor and 250 princes to reap the benefits.

……

[The reality is exactly the opposite of what Innocent III said. The source of the Pope's power is the secular kingdom. ]

[The greatest achievement of the Popes in history is to always ally themselves with the victors. ]

[From Constantine to Charlemagne, to Napoleon, and the capitalist camp in the Cold War, the Bishop of Rome has gradually transformed from a city community leader with a death rate of 50% to a world-class religious leader through 2000 years of twists and turns. ]

[If we must say that the Pope himself has any ability, his greatest ability is to stand in line. ]

[However, don't forget the sentence at the beginning. The Bishop of Rome and even the papal system were created to serve as allies for secular regimes. ]

[From this perspective, the Pope has maximized his ecological niche. 】

The barrage flew out:

"To be honest, being able to stand on the winning team every time is also a kind of ability, hahaha."

"Reply-that's not it, there are also popes who stood on the wrong side, and the result is that they were forced to step down."

"..."

Many political elites in the past dynasties nodded in agreement.

In the final analysis, the pope does not have power that belongs entirely to him.

If the pope wants to exert his influence, he must rely on the support of secular forces.

Therefore, it is understandable that the big brother leader used "How many divisions does the pope have?" to express his disdain for the pope.

Without the support of secular political power, the pope is really nothing.

……

[Don't overestimate the power of the pope. This is advice for history lovers. ]

[However, only half of the words have been said here. The complete sentence should be expressed like this: Don't overestimate the power of the pope, and don't underestimate the power of the church. 】

[Many people understand the first half of the sentence roughly, but the second half is their blind spot. 】

…

"Pope? Church?"

In the Hongwu plane of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were full of thought, and he began to recall the content of the previous video.

Then, he nodded slightly.

These two things really cannot be confused.

As someone who has personally been involved in a sect, he can easily understand the meaning.

A sect is different from a well-organized unified country.

The control of a religious leader over a sect cannot be as strong as the control of an emperor with absolute monarchy and centralized power over a country.

Especially from the development history of JDJ, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that the state of this church was a bit like a country under a feudal system.

The Pope is a nominal co-lord, but in fact, the major dioceses below are all independent, and the bishops of the major leaders are like princes and may not necessarily listen to him.

So, the power of the Pope is indeed different from the power of the church.

And the power of the JDJ church?

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that it was indeed not weak.

A man who can live for more than two thousand years, and it is still a sect with great influence in later generations. It is also wrong to say that it has no strength.

……

[In 1905, Gaul promulgated the "Law on Separation of Church and State", abolishing the state religion status of TZJ confirmed by Napoleon in 1801. ]

[The Republic ordered priests to leave public schools, drove nuns out of hospitals, abolished military chaplains, and returned civil rights such as presiding over marriages to the state. ]

[In the early 20th century, radical republicans demanded the closure of all religious schools, the dissolution of all religious orders, and the control of the appointment of all bishops. ]

[Since the Gallic Revolution, in the eyes of republicans, the church has been the number one enemy of the state. ]

[This applies not only to Gaul, but also to every TZJ country that follows the ideals of Gaul. ]

[The fierce battle between TZJ and secular countries did not only happen in Gaul. 】

[Political and religious conflicts triggered two civil wars in Cactus Country, in Portugal in 1910 and in Banya in 1936, which led to social unrest. 】

[Bismarck, the iron-blooded chancellor of Hans Leopard Country, also launched a cultural war against TZJ, but failed to win. 】

……

"The vitality is really tenacious."

Many ancient people in the past dynasties sighed in their hearts.

Facing the suppression of so many countries, this church still exists tenaciously, which is really amazing.

……

[In the political and religious conflicts in Europe and America from the 19th to the 20th century, the strength of the TZJ Church was obvious. 】

[Since the Middle Ages, the church has controlled a large amount of resources, monopolized the fields of culture and education, and has also been widely involved in administrative and judicial affairs and responsible for grassroots governance. 】

[Especially in the vast rural areas, the church has many supporters. 】

【In the political-religious conflict in Latin America, many farmers even attacked doctors and teachers sent by the government. 】

【Because in their view, the church is the protector of farmers' interests, and the state has been deceiving and exploiting them for hundreds of years. 】

【In order to defeat the TZJ Church, the republics continue to send doctors, teachers, soldiers, and civil servants to squeeze the church's living space from top to bottom. 】

【However, even so, the church did not collapse like the Berlin Wall. 】

……

"It's too big to be cut off."

In the dimension of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin shook his head slightly.

This church has existed for too long and has thoroughly penetrated into the grassroots people of Western countries, and has transformed the thoughts and beliefs of Western people.

Under such circumstances, it is too difficult to eliminate it.

……

【The tenacious vitality of the TZJ Church has led many observers into misunderstandings. 】

[Some people exaggerate the power of the Pope because they fail to see the secular empire behind the Pope. 】

[Others mistake the church for the Pope. 】

[Of course, there is a reason for this misunderstanding. 】

[The Red Grand Master once put the Pope and the emperors of various countries on a par, making them the representatives of the old world of Europe. ]

[This juxtaposition makes some readers think that the power of the Pope is equal to that of the supreme rulers of various countries. ]

[But the fact is not so. ] (To read the violent novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

[The Pope is the spiritual leader of the TZJ Church, the nominal leader, but not the real king. ]

[The TZJ Church is not a centralized state. ]

[Since its birth, the TZJ Church has been full of intricate affiliations and various autonomous entities. ]

[First, there were various monasteries in the early Middle Ages, and then various mendicant orders and military orders that emerged in the heyday of the Middle Ages. ]

[In the late Middle Ages, there appeared the proposition of a state church represented by (acdc) Gallicism. 】

……

Hearing this description on the giant screen.

Many emperors in the past dynasties, such as Zhu Yuanzhang, were not surprised.

They had already made some judgments about this situation.

The pope is similar to the Zhou emperor in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. He has the title of common leader, but in fact he does not have much power.

……

[In TZJ countries before the 19th century, the church controlled one-fifth to one-third of the land. ]

[In some countries, such as the Kingdom of Naples, the church controlled as much as 65% of the land. ]

[However, TZJ has never been a single entity. These lands belong to dioceses, religious orders and various forces behind them, but have nothing to do with the pope. ]

[Autonomous entities of all sizes are like feudal lords within TZJ. ]

[At any time in history, no pope could integrate these entities or fight against the secular forces behind them. 】

[The pattern of a weak pope and a strong church runs through the entire history of TZJ. 】

[And the reason why the papacy can last for more than 1,000 years is because the pope lacks real power. 】

……

The plane of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. []

Liu Che nodded.

The conclusion of the last sentence is correct.

Indeed.

Secular monarchs can tolerate the existence of a pope without real power and regard him as an ally.

When the Roman Empire reformed JDJ, it also avoided letting the pope have real power from an institutional perspective.

So if a pope attempts to integrate all the power of the church and establish a centralized organization similar to a unified country.

That is something that all secular monarchs in the West cannot tolerate.

Because such a pope would really pose a threat to secular monarchs.

If that were the case, secular monarchs would try their best to eliminate the Pope.

……

[This is how the contradictory image of the Pope came about in history. ]

[Praising or demonizing the PopePeople always blur the secular allies of the Pope and confuse the power of TZJ with the power of the Pope. 】

【Those who belittle the Pope always ignore the power of TZJ and the Vatican's allies, and sever the historical and social connections behind the Pope's system. 】

【When positions and conclusions come first, both views are very confusing. 】

【However, reality has always been very complicated. 】

【Yes, the Pope himself is weak in front of secular rulers, and the Pope is not equal to the Church. 】

【However, the purpose of establishing the Pope system was to serve as an ally of secular rulers and a representative of the Church from the beginning. 】

【It is wrong to confuse them with the power of the Pope, and it is also wrong to completely separate them from the power of the Pope. 】

【Okay, this video ends here. 】

……

Watch the entire video.

Emperors of all dynasties have a clearer understanding of the relationship between theocracy and monarchy in the West.

As emperors of the unified Chinese dynasty in the East, they naturally do not agree with that state.

In their view, imperial power should be supreme.

Even in theory, theocracy is not qualified to be on an equal footing with imperial power.

……

On the giant screen in the sky.

The video is refreshed.

A new video appears.

[The desert Gobi has become a seafood breeding resort! Revealing the "black technology" of Chinese marine breeding! ]

……

Immediately after the title of this new video, there is a short preface.

……

[Speaking of the desert, it always gives people an impression of being sparsely populated, barren, hot and dry, and without a trace of green. ]

[This is the case in the northwest frontier of our country. 】

【However, who would have thought that Xinjiang, which has always been famous for producing delicious fruits and vegetables, would one day become popular for producing seafood! 】

【As aquatic products, seafood must be inseparable from water, and the desert is extremely dry. 】

【So, raising seafood in the desert? It sounds very unreasonable. 】

【But this is true! 】

……

After reading this preface.

Many ancient people from all dynasties were stunned instantly.

"Raising seafood in the desert???"

"How is this possible?"

"Impossible! There is no sea in the desert, how can seafood be raised?"

Many ancient people instinctively questioned in their hearts, and their faces were full of disbelief.

Such a magical thing is really far beyond their cognition.

……

[Salmon, white shrimp, crab, lobster... This year, Xinjiang produced a bumper harvest of seafood, which is supplied to all parts of the country. ]

[Far away from the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, deep in the heart of the Eurasian continent, Xinjiang Province, an inland province in Longnan, can actually produce seafood in large quantities, which naturally shocked many people. ]

[So, in the inland sea farming area full of deserts and Gobi,Fresh, how did they do it? What kind of black technology is behind it? 】

……

Looking at the various and dazzling seafood on the giant screen.

Many ancient people in the past dynasties were more and more shocked.

They never expected that the Dragon Kingdom in the later generations not only successfully raised seafood in the desert, but also had a bumper harvest.

It's incredible!

"How did they do this?"

The ancients looked at the giant screen in the sky with extraordinary concentration.

They were really curious at this moment.

……

[The answer points to a key word, that is - the "seafood land farming" model. 】

[Strictly speaking, "seafood land farming" is not a specific farming method, but refers to a farming model that creates a marine ecological environment on land. 】

[Specific to the farming plan, it can be divided into artificial farming of fish, shrimps and crabs, shellfish and other methods. 】

[Take the breeding of South American shrimp as an example. In a breeding base in Xinjiang Province, researchers built two ponds covering an area of ​​16 mu. 】

[They used the snow water from Tianshan Mountain and the shrimp seedlings introduced from Hainan to carry out "sea shrimp freshwater breeding". 】

[In order to make the shrimp adapt to the living environment of freshwater, they added trace elements and probiotics to the saline water with a pH higher than 8, and mixed it into "artificial seawater" that is close to the nature of natural seawater and suitable for the growth of shrimp. 】

[Then, researchers will regularly add local freshwater from Aksu, Xinjiang Province to the pond, gradually reduce the salinity of the pond water, and finally let the shrimp seedlings adapt to the local environment of Xinjiang Province. 】

……

"It's amazing!"

Many ancient people in all dynasties couldn't help but admire it.

To transform saline water into seawater through artificial means, such a method is simply incredible in their eyes.

"Knowledge is power!"

Many ancient people had this saying in their minds. .
