MTL - The War Court and Lap Pillow, Austria’s Mandate of Heaven-v3 Chapter 44 23 things about pilot education (Part 2)
【War court and knee pillow, Austria's destiny】【】
Compared with Tyrol, the education popularization work carried out in the Chenla area is much smoother. Due to the cultural gap between the East and the West, the locals regard education as a gift.
Because this kind of treatment has been monopolized in the hands of those aristocratic families in Chenla since ancient times, I understand their excitement at the moment.
In view of the large number of people in the Chenla area, the church can only choose or draw lots to decide who has the opportunity to receive education.
In the end, according to the results, most of the first Chenla people who got this opportunity were the children of religious fanatics and members of the cathars.
Previously, it was with the help of the Austrian church that they were able to drive away the Vietnamese and Siamese invaders, liberate the entire territory of Chenla, and greatly reduce the exploitation of local nobles.

Moreover, the various technologies brought over greatly liberated local productivity and even saved the royal family.
Therefore, the vast majority of Chenla people have a kind of fanatical worship of the church. Of course, it is also because of the missionaries who lead this enthusiasm. After all, this is also the old way of the Spaniards back then.
And this time the missionaries learned and summed up the experience and lessons of their predecessors, and did not directly seek those gold and land like ordinary colonists.
Although many schools were built temporarily, they are meticulously arranged, and the surrounding walls and ceilings are inlaid with murals with strong religious colors.
The church spreads knowledge in the name of the Gospel of God, and learning Austrian is the way to get the Gospel.
In addition, the local officials in Chenla also ordered the students in the school to kneel and listen to the lecture, because only in this way can they show respect for God's gospel.
On the other side of the classroom, armed with wooden rulers and rattan cane, the senior officers of the cathars accompanied the missionaries to class.
These servants of God felt helpless looking at the teenagers kneeling neatly on the ground.
They prefer that the locals can sit in class, but they are opposed by the cathars and the Chenla people who first attached to the church, because the latter think that not kneeling is not enough to show their piety to God.
In the end, with the persistent insistence of the missionaries, a cushion was placed under the knees of the teenagers, but their bodies still maintained their kneeling posture.
As for the discipline in class, it was embarrassingly good, because anyone who dozed off, slunk, disrupted, or answered questions incorrectly was beaten by skitarii soldiers.
At least they were punched and kicked, and at worst they were beaten to death with rattan rulers. And the person who beat someone was probably the child's parents or patriarch.
The reason for this situation is that the Chenla people developed a system similar to the Indian caste system by combining the local actual situation and the church's electoral theory.
As long as they are fair-skinned, speak Austrian, and understand religion, their status will rise.
The group of slaves and people who were directly converted to Catholicism when the church first arrived in Kampong Son was called the "chosen people".

The nobles, landlords, and businessmen who later defected to the church were called "first-class people". The civilians below are called "second-class people". Those who do not believe in religion are called "abandoned people".
Archbishop Rauscher followed Franz's suggestion and implemented an assessment system in the local area. The requirements for voters were particularly strict. That's why those parents and patriarchs who were voters frantically supervised the teaching situation.
The area directly controlled by the church in Chenla has a population of about 3 million, and the number of voters is only about 20,000, of which 3,000 are members of the cathars. The most powerful group of people other than the missionaries of the church.
Then there are those former Chenla elites.
At first, these people were not convinced by this system, and even raised their troops to resist for a while. However, the unparalleled gap in military strength between the two sides finally shattered their hopes and illusions.
Not to mention these Chenla people, even the Vietnamese who once conquered them were vulnerable to the cathars. Therefore, after the test of several wars, this system has become more and more stable.
In fact, in the eyes of the church, there are only differences between "chosen people", "common people" and "abandoned people". All civilians who want to become voters must pass the assessment, or make "contributions".
Of course, the specific selection criteria are naturally in the hands of the church.
The children of voters will not directly inherit the identity of their parents after they are born, but they will also have to pass the assessment or make contributions to prove that they are eligible to become voters.
And this is the most fundamental reason why those Chenla people are so crazy about being able to receive education. But this is not without benefits, that is, the Austrianization of the upper class in Chenla has become extremely rapid.
Another point is that there is a huge gap between the living standards of the people in the parish and non-clerical areas of Chenla.
Under the leadership of the church, the Diocese actively carried out the construction of water conservancy, the adoption of a more reasonable farming system, and the research and use of new farm tools and chemical fertilizers. device.
The Non-Clerical Region is still a very primitive agricultural civilization. They are extremely lacking in iron, and the level of technological development is extremely low, and even regressed due to some special reasons~www.novelbuddy.com~The actual level is not as good as that of the Tang Dynasty.
This huge contrast made the people of the Diocese believe in the so-called "voter" theory even more.
In addition, the "consecration theory" helped the church successfully seize a large amount of wealth in the Chenla area, most of which were transported back to Austria.
But even a fraction of that invested in improving the colonial environment has transformed the country.
In just a few years, the influence of the Chenla royal family was swallowed up by the church, and even those local forces that were holding on to their rights and did not let go, became confused and panicked under the blow of dimensionality reduction from industrial countries.
Of course, the church did not rush to convert those non-canonical areas into the canonized areas, but adopted a strategy of gradually encroaching on Franz's suggestion.
Coming from later generations, he always feels that nothing is more important than a solid foundation, so cultivating more spiritual Austrians and pro-Austrian elite groups is a top priority.

Just when the plan to integrate Chenla was gradually progressing steadily along the normal track, the Gallic Rooster also began to act unwillingly.
In fact, not long ago, Archbishop Rauscher had noticed some actions of the French in Vietnam, and their goal was undoubtedly to conquer there.
At the same time, since Siam did not take serious precautions against its neighbors to the east, and its rich geographical advantage can be connected with the Chenla area, the archbishop felt that it was necessary to launch a war against Vietnam and Siam before other powers Friendly preaching.
