Chapter 4515 4517 [Rise up in Rebellion]
Taking advantage of the war between several major European powers, Xiang Nan also began to incite members of the Goddess Church to rebel.
The Goddess Church members in St. Lucia in the Caribbean fired the first shot of the rebellion.
St. Lucia was previously the territory of the Indians. In 1639, the British invaded the island first, and then the French drove the British away and became the new owner of St. Lucia.
They built farms here to produce sugar, tobacco, cotton, etc., and therefore bought a large number of black slaves.
The lives of these black slaves were extremely miserable. They had to complete heavy work, but the living and eating conditions were very poor. If they were a little slack, they would be whipped by the supervisors, and even some disobedient black slaves would be deliberately executed in order to kill the chickens and monkeys.
Therefore, in order to seek help and shelter, they believed in the Goddess of the Sea and gradually formed a powerful force. After the black slaves gathered together, they began to gradually resist the rule of the slave owners.
The slave owners were naturally unwilling to do it, and they brutally beat the black slaves, and 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 had organizational ability, they lacked weapons and ammunition, and lacked strategic and tactical guidance.
But soon, Xiang Nan received the news.
Then, he invited the Queen of Amazon to help.
On the one hand, Xiang Nan did not dare to go out by himself, so he asked Alaka to help him explore the way. In this way, even if something happened in the future, God would punish her instead of punishing himself. This is called "die a friend but not die a poor Taoist."
On the one hand, the Amazon tribe is a pure fighting nation, and they have all been armed with flying armor 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 will only injure them.
With such an invincible army, the revolution in St. Lucia will definitely succeed.
…
The Amazon Queen Alaka readily agreed to Xiang Nan’s request.
Because the Amazons are a fighting nation, born to fight. But they have been trapped on the island for thousands of years, and have been holding back for a long time.
Moreover, Xiang Nan provided them with advanced armor and profound martial arts, which greatly enhanced their combat and self-protection capabilities, so Alaka also wanted to go out and try the quality of the tribe now.
Then one hundred Amazon female warriors, led by Alaka, landed in St. Lucia to help the black slaves attack the French army.
When these Amazon female warriors wearing golden armor and soaring in the sky appeared, both the black slaves and the French colonists were stunned.
"Angels~"
"God~"
"Is that an angel?"
Then the Amazon female warriors bravely charged forward, facing the colonists' guns and cannons without fear, and the colonists' guns and cannons really couldn't hurt them at all, and they were easily defeated by them.
The black slaves also won the war.
Afterwards, the black people of St. Lucia formally established their own country, St. Lucia, with the priest of the Goddess Church as the head of state, and designated the Goddess Church as the state religion.
The independence of St. Lucia not only caused a sensation in the Caribbean Sea, but also caused a great response worldwide.
First, the appearance of the "female angel" who soared in the sky, was indestructible, and bright and beautiful, which really surprised the world; second, it was the first time that the black slaves successfully resisted the white colonists and established their own country. This was an unprecedented first time.
Xiang Nan then sent down the "oracle" and announced that these Amazon warriors were angels under the command of the goddess Colibuso.
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. Therefore, where there is oppression, there is resistance.
As long as you pray devoutly and sacrifice, the goddess will send angels to help believers defeat the powerful enemy.
In this way, the oppressed and bullied believers in other regions have united to resist the hegemony and coercion of the colonizers and rulers.
In the Caribbean, America, Africa, Asia, Australia and even Europe, believers began to rise up in resistance, and their slogan was "We want equality, we want freedom, we want anti-hegemony, we want anti-bullying".
And Xiang Nan also strongly supported them, providing money, food, people, and weapons...
...
Xiang Nan believed that now was the time to fight.
Because it was the middle of the eighteenth century, and the world was in an era of great change.
Science and technology were advancing rapidly, and textile machines and steam engines had been invented or were being invented, and the industrial revolution would begin later.
By then, because of the rapid growth of productivity, the wealth and capital of the upper rulers would accumulate more and more, and it would be increasingly difficult for the middle and lower classes to turn over.
And even if they rose up to fight, they would probably not be able to beat those upper rulers. Because they had better weapons, more food and more money, and could hire more troops.
Just like the Paris Commune uprising, although they won at the beginning, they were soon counterattacked by the French capitalists and the Prussian army, and eventually failed.
And most of the believers of the Goddess Church were middle and lower class people. They don't have much capital and wealth, so they should fight now if they can, otherwise the longer they delay, the more trouble they will have.
In addition, the Enlightenment also made people wiser, and more and more people were unwilling to be enslaved, bound, and suppressed.
Therefore, the calls for freedom, equality, and resistance to feudal oppression and autocratic rule are getting louder and louder, and it is time for people to change their minds.
For example, the thirteen states in North America are planning to resist British oppression and decide to establish an independent country; George II of Britain likes to wage wars abroad, and Spain, Austria, and France have all become his targets of attack.
However, years of war have also led to an empty treasury, so the only way to make up for the deficit is to increase taxes on the people, which has also led to increasing dissatisfaction among the people.
King Louis XV of France lived a decadent life and was keen on luxury and enjoyment. For this reason, he issued a large number of paper money without gold reserves as a backing. As a result, the value of paper money plummeted, causing serious domestic inflation and the life savings of countless people were wiped out.
But Louis XV not only didn't care, but continued to live happily. The famous saying "I don't care about the flood after I die" was said by him.
So Xiang Nan knew that now was the time when the people wanted to change their minds. As long as he took the opportunity to rise up, it was possible to turn the world upside down.
Moreover, the European powers were busy fighting the Seven Years' War, and Europe was the main battlefield, so they could not take care of Central America, South America, Africa, Australia, Asia and other regions for the time being.
Therefore, it was the right time to rise up and resist. If we missed this opportunity, we might not have it again.
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 won victory after victory.
