Domineering Daming

"Your Majesty, Tang Ruowang is here." Cao Huachun walked behind Zhu Xu and said in a low voice.

Zhu Xu stopped, looked at the large farmland, and said to Zhao Pinglan and Xu Ruke: "Planting high-yield crops and reclaiming wasteland are all ways to deal with the disaster. We must vigorously promote it and not slack off. I am quite satisfied with you Guangdong. .”

Zhao Pinglan and Xu Ruke beamed with joy, and hurriedly said cautiously: "I obey the order."

Zhu Xu looked again, then turned his head to look at the way he came from. There was a carriage there, and several missionary-like people were looking forward to it.

This Tang Ruowang chased Zhu Xu all the way, trying every means to talk to him about "missionary work" in person.The missionaries at this time were often the vanguard of the colonists. They played an extremely unbearable role in the colonial rule. tool used by the author.

Daming is currently strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and will be weaker in the future. Zhu Xu doesn't want to be found out and cause unnecessary trouble.

Blocking is worse than sparse, not to mention, there is still a big deal to be done all the time!

Zhu Xu thought for a while, and said to Cao Huachun, "Go, I'm going to see him."

Zhao Pinglan and Xu Ruke both heaved a sigh of relief.The emperor put too much pressure on them. If the emperor reprimanded them like he reprimanded Zou Weilian and others in Fujian, then they might as well just die. If they don’t mention it for a lifetime, their family members might be ashamed to mention it. Said, life is really worse than death, the pain is unbearable!

Tang Ruowang was still like that, bowed his body, bowed to Zhu Xu, and said respectfully: "Tang Ruowang sees Your Majesty!"

He bowed slightly, but kept looking at Zhu Xu, trying to see his true inner thoughts from his expression.

He was present at the two martial arts performances of the Ming Dynasty, especially the Dutch and Spaniards were completely annihilated, which probably made him even more frightened and even uneasy!

Europe is in turmoil now, and Spain is the strongest, whether it is on the road or at sea.The Dutch took a different approach, they did not compete on land, but their momentum at sea was unstoppable, and they were getting closer to Spain. It can be said that these two countries represent the strongest power in Europe at sea, and now the strongest power is easily destroyed by Ming. , This influence is too terrifying, it may cause a huge shock in Europe.

Of course, what Tang Ruowang was most concerned about was that the Emperor Daming would more firmly forbid him to preach because of these, and even drive them away!

For a devout missionary who is determined to spread the "glory of God" to the world, he will never allow such a thing to happen!

Zhu Xu looked at him, and could tell from his tone that it was different from the first time I met him. There was respect in it, from the heart, Zhu Xu squinted his eyes, and smiled: "Pingshen, Mr. Tang, accompany me Let's go."

Chapter 769

"of course."

Tang Ruowang would not refuse Zhu Xu, and followed him, half a step slower, with a respectful demeanor and movements.

Zhu Xu was thinking about words, Tang Ruowang said first: "Congratulations to Your Majesty for defeating Spain and the Netherlands. I believe that there will be no more threats in the waters near Daming."

Zhu Xu nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you, sir."

The "confessions" written by Tang Ruowang and other missionaries really helped Zhu Xu a lot, allowing him to see Europe and the reality of the South China Sea clearly.

Tang Ruowang was born in Prussia. He was an extremely devout missionary of the Holy Roman Empire. He didn't have a good impression of Spain and peas. What he cared about was "the glory of God".

Tang Ruowang had been in the Ming Dynasty for many years, and he knew Ming people very well. He could hear "insincere words" from Zhu Xu's words, and he continued: "Your Majesty, you can see my sincerity. My God and I will not treat Ming Dynasty There is half of the danger, we hope that your people can live better and have something to rely on, this will not pose any threat to His Majesty's Daming."

If religion could be so pure, Zhu Xu would not be so concealed. With his hands behind his back, he walked slowly, and suddenly said: "I might as well open up with my husband, your God is yours after all, not Daming's. Come to preach, whether it is me or the courtiers, they are all worried, you are challenging our thinking, you should know the risks involved... I can't tolerate it!"

Tang Ruowang frowned slightly and remained silent.The purpose of his preaching was to turn Daming into a country "full of God's glory", which obviously hit the back of the Daming Emperor.

But he seemed to hear something else from His Majesty's words, which made him elusive.

Although he is proficient in Chinese, can speak fluent Chinese, and even has more knowledge than ordinary Jinshi, but he still can't figure out some obscure words and communication methods of Ming people.

This, even Ming people have to figure out what they say, let alone a foreigner.

After a long while, Tang Ruowang gave up, looked up at Zhu Xu's profile, and said, "Your Majesty, I have no intention of participating in your country's politics, and God is not an official. I can assure you that the church will not participate." Something other than 'God'."

Seeing that Tang Ruowang didn't understand what he meant, Zhu Xu was not in a hurry, and said with a smile, "Sir, what I mean is that things like preaching should not be rushed, not only me, but the whole of Ming Dynasty doesn't understand you, I hope to be able to help you in the future." Daming build a seminary, research, develop theology, including your missionary work.”

Just like Buddhism, Ming needs its own Buddhism, not India's, so "God", Ming doesn't need overseas, it should be Daming's own.

If Tang Ruowang could localize the "God" and even keep pace with the European "God", Zhu Xu would be naturally happy and even vigorously promote it, but if it is European, the Ming Dynasty does not need it.

The "God" of Europe has been split several times, and it doesn't care about Daming this time.

Listening to Zhu Xu's words, Tang Ruowang felt that His Majesty the Emperor Daming was a little loose, but he still didn't let go. He thought to himself, "Your Majesty, of course it is possible to establish a seminary. If the preaching cannot be fully liberalized, I hope at least some The place can..."

Zhu Xu shook his head resolutely, and said: "Without sufficient public opinion, I will not allow it! Also, regarding the history of our country, the history and origin of our Han people, sir, you can't speculate or make nonsense at will. If I find out , don’t blame me for being unpredictable.”

In order to cater to their teachings, missionaries such as Tang Ruowang changed the ancestors of the Chinese nation to Jews, thinking that the Chinese came from the West, and so did the culture, so "grow children and grandchildren, and pass it on from family to family. At this time, the learning is in China. It will be twice as prosperous as the present world."

This is simply murdering Chinese culture from the source, replacing Confucianism with theology!

Tang Ruowang frowned. Their "religionists" did regard the Ming people as Jewish descendants. Spreading them like this would help to shorten the distance and make it easier to preach.

Obviously, these also made His Majesty the Ming Emperor dissatisfied.

"Perhaps, there are more things..."

Tang Ruowang reflected in his heart, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, I will review these, but I still hope that Your Majesty can understand that Europe and Ming Dynasty have a very strong complementary effect. "

Having said that, Zhu Xu turned his head to look at him and said, "Sir, what you said is justified. I plan to send envoys to visit Europe next year, especially the Holy See. Can you convey it on your behalf?"

Tang Ruowang looked slightly startled, and said, "Your Majesty wants to send someone to visit the Holy See?" He couldn't react for a while, he didn't know what Emperor Ming was thinking.

Zhu Xu has already made a plan, and he has asked for the big ship to sail in March next year. At that time, there will be a huge fleet visiting Europe. What a grand scene it will be!

"Not bad!"

Zhu Xu said: "I hope to strengthen the exchanges between the East and the West. The friendship between Ming Dynasty and Europe is very important to this world."

Although Tang Ruowang didn't quite understand Zhu Xu's intentions, he was happy that he was able to send envoys to visit the Holy See. He bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I believe the Pope will be very happy with your kindness. I would like to convey it on your behalf. And arrange for you, lead the way."

After all, Tang Ruowang knew that Daming did not have the ability to go overseas, but he was not the only one in Zhu Xu's hands. He also wanted to visit not only the Holy See, Spain, the Netherlands, and now England. It will fall apart soon, it is unreliable and the Ottoman Empire is too unsafe, Zhu Xu wants people to go and see it clearly.

Tang Ruowang must not have guessed Zhu Xu's thoughts. He walked towards the city, looked up at the sky, and said, "Sir, I heard that Europe is expelling Jews?"

Speaking of it, the Jews were also unlucky. They were expelled by Spain a few years ago, and now the Netherlands and the Roman Empire and other alliances have also begun to expel them. They could have gone to the Ottoman Empire, but the Ottoman Empire thought they were "spies" and refused. The persecuted Jews began to go to sea. Zhu Xu knew from Putmans that the Jews had already landed in America, but the environment there was too harsh to immigrate on a large scale. Of course, the current navigation technology could not do it, so the Jews were displaced in Europe. There is nowhere to live.

Tang Ruowang looked up at Zhu Xu, a little surprised, but still said: "Yes." The words were concise, obviously he held different opinions on the deportation of Jews in Europe, but he couldn't speak out.

Zhu Xu nodded and said: "My Ming Dynasty has a vast land and abundant resources. If possible, I hope to invite them to come and settle in my Ming Dynasty." The current Jews should be extremely helpful to the Ming Dynasty, especially in the area of ​​maritime trade and colonial expansion.Most importantly, Zhu Xu is confident that there is no civilization that cannot be assimilated by the Han civilization!

Tang Ruowang didn't understand why His Majesty the Emperor Daming was talking so fast. He was still thinking about Daming's visit to the Holy See. He followed Zhu Xu and said, "I will pass it back to His Majesty. Your Majesty, do you want me to convey something to the Pope?" His Majesty?"

With his hands behind his back, Zhu Xu looked at the setting sun and said, "Rome is too far away from Daming. I hope that there will be a Holy See in Daming, which will become a center to strengthen the relationship between the Roman Empire and our Daming. I believe His Majesty the Pope will be willing." Work hard for it."

This Holy See will be the Holy See of the Ming Dynasty, with new teachings, new culture, and a new beginning!

But Tang Ruowang didn't understand what Zhu Xu was thinking, his eyes were wide open, and he said, "Your Majesty's words are true?" He thought that this was a positive signal that His Majesty the Ming Emperor would allow them to preach!

"of course."

Zhu Xu's smile grew wider, and he said, "I also hope to build a Confucian temple in Rome, where we can meet each other and communicate with each other."

Tang Ruowang was extremely excited, and said Roman courtesy to Zhu Xu: "His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, the Pope will definitely welcome the envoy of Ming Dynasty very much. I believe this will be an incomparably wonderful beginning, enough to shine in the annals of history and brighten the future of mankind!"
