In the middle and late Ming Dynasty in history, Matteo Ricci and others came to China to promote their culture extensively.

Some of the Holy See's money and some of them are funding, so many middle- and lower-level officials in the Ming Dynasty believed in this way.

Even the important officials of the country, such as Xu Guangqi, Yang Tingyun, and Li Zhizao, have become firm believers.

These people are all scholars and officials who grew up in the harsh Confucian education system since childhood. They are interests that surpass ordinary people and are members of the country's legal system.

If we talk about stubbornness, who can better discuss these saints and disciples? But they all abandoned Kong Sheng and chose another saint with blond hair and blue eyes thousands of miles away. They not only changed the sect, but also helped compile books, even promoted doctrines and built a synagogue.

Xu Guangqi even dedicated all his family's ancestral tombs to serve as a cemetery for missionaries. Yang Tingyun built a sacred church in his home, and brought people into churches all day long, turning his family's relatives, tenants, and servants into churches.

And there are rumors that Emperor Chongzhen also abandoned his ancestors' family law and believed in this way. Emperor Zhu Youlang, the Yongli emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty, believed these things with his concubines and princess.

It's simply incredible! But it happened to him.

Faced with these facts one by one, can our Zhongxia civilization remain unmoved and unscrupulous in the face of any foreign object? Even if these foreign civilizations can eventually be assimilated by the Zhongxia civilization, it will take hundreds of years. The next few hundred years will be the most cruel hundreds of years in human history. Is there any possibility of assimilation?

Speaking of which, the Qing Dynasty was not very good, but people were wary of the erosion of these foreign cultures.

From the beginning of Shunzhi, missionaries served the royal family, and when Kangxi arrived, they used these people to understand and learn Western science and technology. There were also many believers along the coast and other places, with a total of 270,000.

But it is for people to use it, and it is also true to prevent it.

Kangxi wrote to the Roman Catholic Church that when you preach in me, we must take our tradition as the foundation, allow the people to worship their ancestors, respect Confucius, and do more arithmetics and calendars, and don’t use that set of fallacies.

The Roman Holy See did not listen, Kangxi gave a sentence, "You can only talk about the Westerners and other villains. How can you tell the Dali of China? It is prohibited to preach missions in China..."

This is the original words of Kangxi. He left behind those missionaries who had been approved and stipulated their scope and responsibilities, and strictly ordered that other than science and technology should not be violated.

When he arrived at Yongzheng, the Fourth Master said to the Roman Holy See, "Get out of here, if you don't get out, you will die!"

In the final analysis, they saw the wolves ambitions of the Western Holy See and the intentions of the West. The reason why our people are independent of the world and have been passed down for thousands of years is because of our independent cultural heritage.

This can not be subjectively concluded as the beginning of the country's recession. Isn't this a kind of protection for local culture?

Everything must be seen dialectically. The reason why the Qing Dynasty locked up the country was that it was both learning and panic about Western science and technology. But did the Ming Dynasty need panic? Without those people from the Holy See, there was still a way to obtain new things.

To put it bluntly, many people in later generations must talk about what the root cause of the United States, Japan and Europe is?

On the lintel of the Supreme Court of the Beautiful Kingdom are engraved with three greatest sages in history. Among them are our Confucius, but many of the descendants of the descendants say Confucius is worthless.

Isn't it ridiculous to treat what our ancestors left as dregs, but others' things as spiritual Bibles?

Some people even say that the traditions we have followed from generation to generation are ignorant. Some people simply feel ashamed of their own origins! It is simply a big deal in the world and crazy.

Little do they know that they think the West is good, but they are poisons that always deny us!

Faith, tradition, and inheritance are the culture we rely on to continue. If a country loses these, will it still have a future?

For a moment, Zhu Yun's expression became more serious.

"I remember that there is a monk's department under the rule of the Ministry of Rites!" Zhu Yunxiu said, "Manage the affairs of monks and Taoists in the world!"

"Yes!" Fang Xiaoru said, "It was set up in the 14th year of Hongwu. The monk official seal was the presidency of Fakong, the outer Tianjie Temple in Yingtian Prefecture!" As he said, he paused, "I have seen that presidency several times. He is a poor and Taoist monk!"

"I will issue an order in a while. In the future, the Monk Records Department will not only control the affairs of monks and Taoists in the world!" Zhu Yunxiong pondered, "We must take care of all these messy things, not only to control but also to strictly control them. Just like you said, there are still nestalgia in Quanzhou and Zhangzhou!

Suddenly, Fang Xiaoru felt something and looked at Zhu Yunxiu.

"Xia Yuanji, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites..." Zhu Yunxi said, frowned and pondered for a moment, "He is still a little talented. I want to transfer him to the Ministry of Revenue as the Minister of Revenue and serve as the assistant minister of Zhang Yu. The free left assistant minister will be taken over by Fang Aiqing!"

"This..." For a moment, Fang Xiaoru was stunned.

He is famous among the Shilin, and even more so. But that is limited to the Shilin Qingliu. In terms of official positions, his biggest official position is the Eastern Palace Scholar and the Imperial Heaven Supervisor, and he is not a real important official in the country.

The minister of the department is the standard for entering the core decision-making level of the country.

"You will take care of these monks and Taoists in the future! You are a knowledgeable and talented person, and you can see who is good or bad at a glance!" Zhu Yunsheng smiled and said, "Besides, you are a disciple of a saint, and you are the most upright. I don't worry about these ghostly ways to give you!"

Suddenly, Fang Xiaoru choked up and couldn't help himself.

A person must use it in a suitable position to display his talents.

A saint disciple like Fang Xiaoru should be used in this place.

"After I go back, I will immediately send a message to Quanzhou and other places, and be sure to clear Nestorians and other matters!" Fang Xiaoru wiped his tears and said.

"I can trust you!" Zhu Yunxi smiled with a gentle expression.

~~

Just as Zhu Yunyu of the Ganqing Palace and Fang Xiaoru and his ministers were confronting each other, several strange ships slowly sailed into the Shuimen Pass at the estuary of the Yangtze River outside Yingtian Prefecture.

On the sailboat with sails, Ashikaga Yoshika pressed the samurai sword at his waist, staring at the city wall in front of him with wide eyes and panic, almost parallel to the sky.

"This country is the nephew of the Japanese shogunate General Ashikaga Yoshimiya, the envoy of this trip to the Ming Dynasty, Ashikaga Yoshiji suddenly discovered that he had no words to describe the magnificent capital of the Ming Dynasty. He could only repeat this tone over and over again to express his shock.

"This place is ten times bigger than Kyoto!" Next to Ashikaga Yoshita, the guard samurai Hashimoto, was shocked, "There are ten times more people than Kyoto!"

"More than ten times!" Ashikaga Yoshiji looked at the almost uninterrupted merchant ship on the river and sighed, "It's worthy of being the Heavenly Kingdom!"

"Is it a Japanese Japanese ship in front?"

Suddenly, on the crowded sea, a speedboat came through the gaps of the merchant ship. The Jinyiwei in a bright flying fish suit stood at the bow and shouted.

"That's right!" Ashikaga Yoshiji said loudly in Chinese.

"Shi Guoichi!" Hashimoto Arina looked at the sturdy Jinyiwei on the boat opposite and whispered, "What a majestic man!"

"Thank you for your hard work in the distance!" The Jinyiwei bowed and shouted, "At the Jinyiwei's hundred households, Ji Gang, come to welcome him under the orders of Duke Cao and the commander of the Duke of the Ministry!"

"Duke Cao is here in person?" As Ashikaga Yoshiman's envoy, the hero of the Ming Dynasty, Ashikaga Yoshiki was very familiar with the many things. He knew very well who was Li Jinglong, the Duke Cao.

"Mr. Master isn't here?" Ji Gang was stunned, and then smiled, "The one who welcomes you on the shore today is the Lifanyuan who wants Lord Yang!"

How could Li Jinglong welcome his identity in person?

But obviously, he, a Japanese man, does not understand what Ji Gang said.

Before he could speak, Ji Gang shouted loudly to the surroundings, "Cleaning out the water quickly and let the Japanese envoy's ship dock!"

On the river, the tax collectors and naval troops began to get busy, constantly urging the crowded merchant ships to give way.

"Waters? What are they here for?" someone asked in a low voice.

"Who knows? Eighty percent of the time I've sent a beautiful woman to the emperor!"
