"Dear Your Highness the Imperial Grandson, those so-called Protestants are actually a group of treacherous heretics! For their own selfish purposes, they misinterpret the Lord's will. These people have all been bewitched by the devil and will eventually need to die in the fire.

Only then can we be saved!"

Looking at Matteo Ricci who had fallen into madness across from him, Xu Guangqi was really unable to accept it. So much so that in front of Zhu Youdong, he completely lost the basic etiquette of a monarch and his ministers. He just stood there with his mouth and eyes wide open and didn't move at all.

move.

Looking at the dull Xu Guangqi, Zhu Youdong twitched the corner of his mouth: You, a great Ming scholar-official who is obsessed with Western technology and ideas, take a good look at what the real thing is beneath the hypocritical appearance of Western missionaries.

what?

China is generally a country with a less religious atmosphere. The religious authority has an influence on the political power, but it can never be said to control it. In those countries in the West where the religious authority has a great influence, heretics and heretics are the common mortal enemies of the church and the political power.

.And they seem to be more ruthless towards heretics than heretics.

"Mr. Xu? Mr. Xu?"

"Ah? Oh! My great-grandson, I'm sorry, I'm rude."

"Hehehe, it doesn't matter. Come on, Mr. Xu, please sit here."

"Oh, thank you so much, Grandson."

There is no need to say more about figures like Xu Guangqi. Although in terms of history, he eventually became the second minister of the Chongzhen Dynasty, his introduction in later generations was always defined as a scientist first and a politician second. Facts

In the past, many historians believe that if Xu Guangqi's father had not died at an untimely time, causing him to suffer from illness for three years, he might have achieved greater achievements in science and technology.

In ancient China, there should not be too many bureaucrats, but there are really too few scientists. Based on this, let alone Xu Guangqi's slight rudeness, even if he burned down Zhu Youdong's academy, Zhu Youdong would only be embarrassed.

Applause from the side without being rude: Well done, well done.

Zhu Youdong was a doctor before he traveled through time. He had a good foundation in mathematics, physics and chemistry. But compared with engineering students, his hands-on ability other than surgery was poor. He had many ideas, but he needed a scientist of this era to turn them into

The implementable plan was finally turned into reality through the skilled craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty. Xu Guangqi was the most critical bridge.

Therefore, just like when the imperial court selected candidates to serve him, he did not comment on most people and only named Wei Zhongxian. When the outer court selected teachers for him, he did not say anything about the others, but

Xu Guangqi, that must be caught as soon as possible.

"Mr. Xu seems to have been a Jinshi last year, right? How old are you this year?"

"I feel ashamed. Because of my stupid nature, I wasted many years in taking the imperial examination, so I didn't get the Jinshi until I was forty-two years old. I am already forty-three years old this year."

Haha, you are a genius in science, engineering, and agriculture, and you took a pure liberal arts exam and won the Jinshi at the age of forty-two. It is already amazing, right?

"Well, your father will live a long life this year? How is your health?"

"My great-grandson Lao is concerned about me. Jia Yan is eighty-eight years old this year. His health, uh, because my family was poor in his early years, Jia Yan had to work too hard to maintain the family's livelihood, so... he has many diseases."

"Well, this matter is a big deal, Wang Chengen."

"My slave is here."

"Pass this message, I will go to the Imperial Hospital later to invite two imperial doctors, and I will go to Mr. Xu's house in the evening. Well, I will go with him then."

"My dear, I am so grateful!"

"Sir, there is no need to be polite. You are my teacher, and your father is my master. How can you not care more about your master?"

It was a custom in the official circles of the Ming Dynasty that parents should be mourned for three years after their death. If Zhu Youdong, Xu Guangqi's father, did not intervene, he would die soon. Zhu Youdong could not afford this loss.

After comforting Xu Guangqi, Zhu Youdong turned to Matteo Ricci and said: "Mr. Ricci, I am very interested in the fact that now the Habsburg royal family, a solid fortress of Catholicism, has two princes protected by holy angels, then

, in today’s Europe, have the Protestants restrained themselves a little?”

Speaking of this, Matteo Ricci immediately became excited: "His Royal Highness is the most intelligent! Yes, after Michael appeared, the so-called Protestant heresies that were occasionally spread in Spain have disappeared without a trace.

Even in North Germany, Denmark, the Netherlands and other places, the glory of our Lord has once again been widely spread. However! There are still some unrepentant heretics who actually say that the Holy Light in Madrid that day was a

What a scam! Oh! These damn heretics! According to the news sent by our senior Jesuits, His Majesty the Pope has already thought of taking this opportunity to launch a holy war against this group of heretics!"

Well, it seems that the Thirty Years War in Europe may start early?

In the true sense of history, the Thirty Years' War was a vast and tragic war.

At first, the Czech Republic wanted independence, and then the Habsburgs suppressed it.

Then Denmark was worried because it had swallowed up Schleswig and Holstein of the HRE. With the support of Britain, France and the Netherlands, it declared war on the HRE emperor. It was victorious at first, but when the Habsburg royal family asked

After Wallenstein was released, it quickly fell into disarray.

Next, Sweden's Gustavus II led Sweden into the war. This time it was a defeat for both sides. One of the two great commanders, Gustav and Wallenstein, was killed, and the other with great achievements was assassinated. In the end, although Sweden

They were forced to sign a clause of defeat, but the Habsburg royal family was already out of breath.

In the above three stages, countries or princes dominated by Protestants fought against the Habsburg royal family that adhered to the Catholic faith.

Finally, the French, who were both Catholic countries but had been coveting the European hegemony of the Habsburg royal family cynically, finally came to an end personally.

This means that Richelieu, the leader of France at this time, was a politician after all. Unlike the Nordic barbarians like Denmark and Sweden, who only used military means. He first incited the Catalonia region of Spain and ruled in Spain at that time.

Portugal under the Portuguese government sought independence, which caused chaos in Spain and could no longer effectively support its Austrian brothers. Then it sent troops to declare war on the Holy Roman Empire. The Holy Roman Empire, which did not receive strong support from Spain, was soon besieged by the entire Europe.

, and finally defeated. The Thirty Years War ended.

This war lasted too long, involved too many countries, and involved religious conflicts. Therefore, after thirty years of fighting, the overall population of the German region, which was the main battlefield, dropped by 30%, and the male population was directly reduced by half. More

In some vassal states, more than 75% of the residents were killed.

Of course, these are all historical facts. They are only historical facts.

Because, the history of this plane has changed.

There is no doubt that the Habsburg royal family, with the help of the time-travelers, especially the two time-travelers, will win the Thirty Years War in this dimension - perhaps the victory will not take thirty years.

During this period, the Habsburg royal family was already powerful enough to fight against the entire Europe for decades. Once it wins this war, the entire Europe, at least except for Russia, will be effectively controlled by the Habsburg royal family.

Integrate it. At that time, the two spokesmen of Christ will turn their attention to the East - this process will probably only take a total of twenty or thirty years, right?

When he thought of this, and then thought of the Ming Dynasty that was now riddled with holes, Zhu Youdong became extremely angry.
