Chapter 1773: Take up church resources

However, unlike the three major knights, the newly established "Save the Knights" is not a monk group, but a secular group. Therefore, the core group of "Save the Knights" is not an armed monk, but a secular monarch. Moreover, the position of the head of the large group was also held by the American King, not elected by the monks.

In addition, although the "Save the Knights" has been recognized by the Holy See, it does not have independent sovereignty, no diplomacy and the right to wage war, it is just a vassal of the American royal family. This is somewhat similar to the Guardian Knights of England and the Golden Wool Knights of Burgundy. However, what is different from the previous two knights is that the first two knights are completely secular knights and have not received the support and recognition of the church. And Marin's "Save the Knights", with the endorsement of the Holy See, can cooperate with the church and practice medicine in the name of the church. Moreover, it is under the nominal asylum of the Holy See.

That is to say, before the Holy See gave up the "Save the Knights", no Christian would dare to move the "Save the Knights" casually, otherwise it would be difficult to live with the Holy See.

Just like the prince Philip IV who wanted to annex the properties of the Knights Templar, he had to collude with Pope Clement V to declare the Knights Templar as "heretics" before he could start. However, Clement V was a puppet of Philip IV, and even the residence was in Avignon, France. Therefore, everyone knows that the Knights Templar were wronged and persecuted.

There was no way. At that time, the Knights Templar were too rich. There were thousands of castles and large tracts of land in France, and they were the largest creditors of the French King. Philip IV was also ruthless enough to directly uproot the Knights Templar and devour all of the creditor's property in order to repay the debt.

But it is undeniable that if Philip IV did not control Pope Clement V of Avignon, he could not do anything casually. After all, the monks who admit to the Holy See will act, which is equivalent to apostasy.

Of course, Marin is not worried about saving the Knights from being targeted. Because, at all, he did not intend to get much property for the rescue of the Knights, but only used it as a name to open a hospital and gain prestige.

In this era, there were no regular doctors. Many doctors are priests in the church who understand medical knowledge, not professional doctors. Their methods of treatment mainly rely on "prayer" and "blessing", and rarely prescribe medicine. The pattern is similar to that of the witch and **** of China in the past.

There are many doctors in the private sector, but most of them are "hangman" level wild doctors who give blood to people, and they are not even qualified to practice medicine legally. Because, according to the canon, "birth, sickness and death" are all given and punished by God, and it is not easy for mortals to intervene casually. Healing people is generally the business scope of the priest. Most folk doctors secretly practice medicine. For example, until the rise of modern medicine in the 19th century, the "doctor" responsible for amputation turned out to be a hairdresser ...

Many court doctors are also pastors. Therefore, in this era, the nobles got sick, and the mortality rate was so high ...

It was only after the rise of Protestantism and the decline of Catholic authority that medicine began to slowly rise. For example, the first anatomy book (not counted in ancient Roman and Greek times) "Structure of the Human Body" was published in 1543. At this time, Luther had initiated the Reformation for 26 years.

It seems that Da Vinci has already dissected many stolen bodies, and he has also drawn anatomical drawings. But in this era, the Catholic power is still very large, and Leonardo dare not publish it, so he can only hide it.

Marin did not want to match the Holy See, and he didn't need to match the Holy See. After all, he has a deep relationship with the Holy See and there is absolutely no need to turn his face with the Holy See. Moreover, he still has many places to rely on the support of the Holy See.

Therefore, for the development of medicine, Marin thought about it, and finally came up with a solution-to attach the hospital to the knighthood under the name of the Holy See, and then, after researching advanced medical techniques, he directly attributed the credit to "God's guidance". In this way, the development of medicine and the church avoid conflicts as much as possible. Moreover, Marin intends to have a good relationship with each generation of pope. Even, intending to take the **** Robert to the pope's position. In this way, no matter how the development of medicine in Beihai, the Holy See will help endorse. Do n’t worry about letting medical scientists be tied to the stake and burned to death like the unlucky eggs like Bruno ...

Uh ...

As for the flag and logo of "Save the Knights", Marin has already prepared it-naturally it is a symbol of the Red Cross of later generations.

But the French envoy raised a protest-he believed that the Red Cross was a sign of the "Heavenly Knights" organization of the "heretics" two hundred years ago. Marin adopted this sign and was suspected of supporting heresy.

But the monarchs and nobles present knew what was going on two hundred years ago, so representatives such as Maximilian I and the Spanish envoys and those who had festivals in France snorted and ridiculed the French.

Marin was not so radical. After all, he didn't want to offend France yet. So he explained to the French messenger that the Red Cross of the Knights Templar was not regular, but thin in the middle and thick at the four endpoints. The red cross of "Save the Knights" is the same as the hospital logo of later generations. It is a completely square red cross with the same thickness and very square.

The flag of the Knights is similar to the Swiss flag of later generations-the red cross is square, and the flag is also square. The only difference is that the Swiss flag is a white cross on a red background, and the “Save the Knights” flag is a red cross on a white background.

In order not to turn his face with France, Marin also wrote the first state book on the spot as the newly-promoted "King of America", and asked the French messenger to bring the French king Francois I to explain the problem of the Red Cross.

This point, Emperor Maximilian I was somewhat dissatisfied, thinking that Marin was too flattering and fearful of France. But Marin was also dissatisfied with His Majesty the Emperor-why did you stop me from becoming the King of the North Sea?

However, this is political governance. For mature politicians, the knight ’s position is not fixed, but depends on national interests. But Europe has not yet evolved to this stage (by the 18th century, European talents will be completely shameless), so it is not so easy to change camps and teammates.

However, Marin actually despised his old owner, His Majesty the Emperor, because, Marin felt that, if it were not for the success of the marriage, Charles V, the grandson of Maximilian I, became the Spanish colonial empire The king of the poor, the Habsburgs of the poor, could not withstand the strong pressure of the French.

In other words, the Habsburg family used the enormous wealth obtained by the Spanish American colonial empire to use it for European hegemony. In the end, Spain's colonial empire, which was originally promising, was brought down.

In other words, in history, the Spanish Empire saved the Habsburg family. Otherwise, the Habsburgs not only can't keep Franche Comté, it is estimated that even the Netherlands will be taken by France.

All in all, the Habsburg family is poor. Even Maximilian I, the emperor, died on the road to debt hiding.

This time and space, because of Marin's intervention, Juan III did not die early and gave birth to a male heir. Therefore, the Habsburg family should not expect to rely on the financial resources of Spain to help Austria. Therefore, the emperor is actually very fictitious now. Had Spain not jumped out to compete with France for the Kingdom of Naples, the Habsburgs would have been beaten and beaten by the French ...

Uh ...

In addition to covering the opening of the hospital, Marin actually has a very important purpose in creating the "Salvation Knights"-to control the church property in Beihai ...

Although it is said that currently relying on the close relationship with the Pope, Marin got the right to speak for the appointment of the Bishop of Beihai, but the final appointment is actually in the hands of the church itself. The large amount of land and fields occupied by the church, Marin cannot move casually.

Moreover, Marin himself is not counted, if the next successor or the next successor has a bad relationship with the Holy See?

Therefore, Marin had this order in order to allow Julius II to approve him to form a "Salvation Knights". In order to save the Lord's people, he ordered the Beihai Kingdom Church to cooperate with the "Salvation Knights" unconditionally. Work to help save the people 6

Of course, there is also a very key word-"Allow the head of the rescue knight to use the surplus resources of the Beihai Church, the local church must not block" ...

This is very important, because with this decree as an endorsement, Marin can use the property of the church to build hospitals and save the people in the future, without having to pay for the hospital.

This article alone can save Marin too much cost. Moreover, Marin also has the right to recruit grass-roots priests from within the Beihai Kingdom Church and enrich them to the hospital. Even, become a doctor. This can save Marin a lot of human resources. After all, the culturally advanced talent resources of priests are also very eye-catching. For example, the Minister of the Seal of Henry VII is Archbishop Richard Fox of Canterbury-no way, the intellectuals who are cultured this year are really hard to find. In desperation, many monarchs invited senior church leaders in China to assist themselves in managing the country. After all, the church has churches everywhere, and the tentacles are longer than the royal family ...

And in the decree of Julius II ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ allowed Marin to arbitrarily call the wealth and personnel of the local church in order to form the "Save the Knights", almost stunned the monarchs and envoys present .

Therefore, in order to calm everyone's envy, jealousy, and hatred, Julius II had to add that the church wealth and personnel should not be used outside hospitals and education (founding church schools) ...

But Marin didn't care. He didn't expect to rely on church property to raise, but just wanted to save the cost of setting up a hospital. In addition, it is to use the church's influence to penetrate all corners and villages of Europe. After all, in Europe, as long as it is a village, there will be at least a simple chapel. What he meant was to use these churches all over the country to get outpatient clinics. If it is rich, then establish a special hospital.

Moreover, Beihai is actually already doing it. Because of the iron relationship between Marin and the Pope, the current Archbishop of Beihai, Tyler Fool, obeyed Marin, and Marin could also set up a medical clinic in the church.

However, what I did before was not legal at all and was not officially authorized by the Holy See. It belongs to Nojiko. If the relationship between the monarch of the Beihai Kingdom and the Holy See deteriorates, the outpatient clinics in these churches can easily be shut down.

Therefore, Marin found a way to get official documents from the Holy See to legalize the church hospital. Moreover, it is better to use the property of the church in your country to build a hospital system that benefits the whole country without having to pay for it yourself?
