Chapter 2297: black and white
The term Mafia originated from the Sicilian Vespers on Easter March 30, 1282. When a Palermo girl was raped by French soldiers on the day of her wedding, Sicily began to retaliate wildly. They attacked every Frenchman they met and proposed "MortoFrancia, Italia" (Italian text "eliminating France is Italy's desire "), and Mafia is an acronym for this slogan.
People call the Mafia "Mafia" (transliterated as "Mafia"). It sounds like a heinous terrorist organization?
No!
In the 17th century, it was not so magical at all. It was originally a secret gang organized by poor peasants to survive. Therefore, its members were all from the countryside and were born in poverty. Help each other and be able to help each other in the same boat.
Therefore, it is similar to the green forest hero in China and Robin Hood in the UK. And maintain justice and fairness from time to time. Year after year, the role of the Mafia in Sicily has become increasingly prominent, becoming more authoritative than the government. At that time, in the lives of Sicilians, the Mafia became as important as three meals a day. It is naturally a noble thing to be a mafia.
They used violence to control livestock, slaughter, orchards and ports in Sicily, and collected protection fees from private owners.
Through violence, the Mafia established its authority in Sicily.
Don Daniel Carvajal, as the governor of Sicily, came here to beg for money. He and the Mafia do not violate the waters. It is their business to do what the Mafia loves. As long as they don’t hinder him from making money and collecting taxes, and they don’t rebel. Then he doesn't care about the Mafia.
And the mafia is also smart not to provoke him, and everyone is in peace.
Well, the leader of the Mafia is called "Tang". In fact, it is Spain that rules Sicily. "Tang" is a respectable and respected person in Spanish, and most of them are nobles with titles.
Now that the pagans invaded the East, Don Daniel Carvajal’s own army was useless, and he wanted to use the Mafia.
Don Rodri had an idea, and he was appointed by the governor to invite the leaders of the Mafia to negotiate.
The so-called king is not right, a gangster, and a white road. Although there was no conflict before, but if you meet rashly, who knows what conspiracy is.
Snakes have snake roads, rats have rat roads. After Don Rodri accepted the task, he quickly contacted Don Kokooni, the largest boss in the area, through several middlemen, and was invited by Don Kokooni. , Go to his country house.
Without further ado, Don Rodrigo got on the carriage and left the city and headed east. Outside the city, he passed a large olive grove, a contiguous wheat field, and a continuous vineyard area.
In the sun, the crops are growing vigorously, which makes Don Rodri envy. If only he could own these territories!
Being able to achieve food self-sufficiency, and then squeeze olive oil and make wine to make money, it is a huge profit!
It looks like an idyllic scenery, who can imagine the giants of the community hidden in the countryside.
Guided by the middleman, he arrived in front of a large country house, a double-storey wooden house, with a statue of the Virgin in the main hall, no gold and silver ornaments, no carpets and antiques, which looked no different from ordinary houses.
In fact, the leader of the association group Don Kokooni he saw was no different from the peasants. The man who mastered most of the underground interests of Sicily had a large skeleton and a sturdy body. His face was dark due to long-term exposure to the sun. He was dressed in Sicily. In the national costume, sitting on the side of the big long table, seeing Don Rodri come in, the big leader just sat still and bowed slightly to salute!
Since he was asking others, Don Rodri didn't dare to be rude and bowed deeply.
"Please sit down!" the big leader said gently and authentically.
Staying in this house is like entering a farmer's house in Sicily. It is not until someone brings him tea to make people feel different from the farmer in Sicily.
The tea sets are all celadon. As a nobleman, Don Rodri's tea cup is made from China's West Lake Longjing!
Nowadays, the tea ceremony is popular in the West. As a healthy drink, whether it is Yangchun Baixue, the lower Liba people, or the Europeans of the Baidao and the underworld, they all fall in love with this drink without exception.
The best and the rich drink good tea, and the poor drink tea dregs, anyway.
Don Rodri gracefully picked up the teacup, greeted Don Kokooni, and talked.
He sensationally said: "The fleet of Eastern pagans has reached the sea opposite Palermo, and they soon landed in Palermo, turning Sicily into the **** of Christ!"
He waved his hands and said: "The Eastern pagans conquered Venice. They ransacked Venice. They also took down the island of Malta. The Knights of Malta were wiped out and all the population was sold..."
However, Don Kokooni shrugged and said: "So what? For thousands of years, the Greeks have come, then the Carthaginians, and the Romans, the barbarians, the Byzantines, the Arabs, and then the French. , Now you are Spaniards."
The big leader straightened his waist and said proudly: "But Sicily is still Sicily!"
Don't fool around, the exiles are not terrible, because they are afraid that the exiles are educated. Don Rodri slammed his tongue out and focused on persuading Don Kokooni from the religious aspect.
Because of the slack military equipment of the officers and the army, it is impossible to threaten Don Kokooni. As for the temptation, if you want to spend money, wouldn't it be better to kill the governor.
Relying on the information at hand, Don Rodri said: "They are different from the previous conquerors. First of all, they are different in race. We are white. They are yellow. The difference between the two races. The people who came to Sicily before were all white. People, the people of the future will be the yellow race. Like the Huns and Mongols who attacked the West from the East before, these yellow races are keen on massacres and looting~www.wuxiaspot.com~ not a civilized nation!"
Regarding the division of race, there was actually no clear statement in the 17th century. Some whites even believed that the Chinese were also white, because the skin color of the Chinese was whiter than that of the Greeks and certain Italians.
Until the arrival of the emperor, he said that the Chinese were all yellow races. Because golden yellow in China was owned by the royal family, and the world admired soil gold, the yellow race became a noble race.
The Chinese BS whites, blacks, and people of other skin colors. Asan shamelessly said that they are also yellow races. The emperor did not say that, but Mr. David under his hand unceremoniously said that Asan is a mixture of whites and blacks, so Ah San said. The third is the brown man!
Don Rodri’s tongue was like a spring, speaking of the yellow peril and the terrible Mongols’ westward march, he said: “Although the Eastern pagans are not as bloodthirsty as the Mongols, they are more terrifying than the Mongols. People just conquer, they will change, and they are more powerful than the Ottomans!"
"The Ottomans invaded. You have donated a lot of money. Now the Eastern pagan invasion, which is more powerful than the Ottomans, wants to invade the land of Christ. Can you remain indifferent?" Don Rodri said loudly.
