"The right minister of the Ministry of Industry, the chief inspector of Qin Tian, comes from Nan Huairen in Belgium?"
The first time he saw Nan Huairen, Zhao Qiang was happy, because the European with a tall nose, big eyes and a beard in front of him was wearing the court uniform of a high-ranking official. He looked like a comedian with his nondescript appearance.
It made people want to laugh. [] But he didn't laugh because he felt anger and contempt from Nan Huairen's angry eyes.
It felt very unpleasant to be looked down upon by a foreigner. If he hadn't relied on Nan Huairen to help him make cannons and muskets, Zhao Qiang wouldn't have minded killing Mr. Dai Zi's great enemy.
Regardless of whether they are in the past life or this life, foreigners are different from other people in Zhao Qiang's eyes. He does not have the awareness of other time travellers. He treats a foreigner as a treasure when he picks it up. Even the famous Nan Huairen in front of him is a real treasure.
Same. Because Zhao Qiang doesn't think he is a treasure. He only knows that when he needs it, this foreign boy is a treasure. Once he doesn't need it anymore, this treasure can accompany Father Tang Ruowang. Maybe underground, these two
Priests who also come from Europe will have many languages in common.
If you despise me, I will give you a hard blow. Foreigners are never the boss in China, let alone you, a foreigner who works for the Manchus!
"beat."
The simple word made Nan Huairen stunned. He didn't expect that the thieves would tie him up, but their leader would beat him up without asking anything or saying anything.
Oh, Emperor, these ferocious and barbaric thieves are the natural enemies of the Ming world. They are just like the Mongols back then, a group of savage thugs. Emperor, you cannot let these thugs treat your believers cruelly!
It's a pity that praying can't call the emperor. When fists and powerful kicks hit his old bones, Nan Huairen suddenly realized why he was beaten.
Maybe, I should be more respectful to this leader. Who in this world would beat up a poor man who is full of smiles.
After figuring it out, Nan Huairen was no longer so stubborn and arrogant. The injuries to his flesh made him regain the caution and humility he had when he first came to the East more than 20 years ago.
However, after experiencing the generous salary from high-ranking officials and the favor of the emperor, Father Nan seemed to be unable to find the same feeling as before.
His smile was so stiff, his tongue seemed to be knotted, and he couldn't say anything to beg for mercy.
Zhao Qiang was waiting. He was waiting for this self-righteous foreigner to beg for mercy from him. He knew that Nan Huairen could speak Chinese, and he also knew that Nan Huairen would definitely beg for mercy from him. Because a jealous priest,
He will never be a hero who is not afraid of death.
When Zhao Qiang didn't say anything, the guards stopped. Soon, Nan Huairen was beaten to the ground. Soon, he knew that he had to beg for mercy.
"Your Excellency General..." Nan Huairen wailed.
"I am the regent appointed by the emperor as the emperor's father." Zhao Qiang replied calmly.
"Yes, yes, Your Highness, Your Majesty!" Nan Huairen quickly changed his tone and begged in pain: "Your Majesty, please spare me, I really can't bear it..."
Nan Huairen's Mandarin is very authentic, and he is obviously someone who has been familiar with the officialdom. It is probably very appropriate to use "old fried dough stick" to describe this official priest sent by the Catholic Church to the country.
"stop"
Now that Nan Huairen has understood, Zhao Qiang will naturally not torture him anymore. He is useful, and it is not worthwhile to beat him to death. After signaling the guards to help the injured Father Nan up, Zhao Qiang looked at him carefully.
According to historical records, Nan Huairen was proficient in astronomy and geography. In the second year after he came to China as a missionary, he was sent to the palace to assist the then Imperial Heavenly Supervisor Tang Ruowang in the work of the German missionary Tang Ruowang. They used advanced Western methods to survey the sky and calculate
Accurate and persuasive, he was deeply appreciated by Shunzhi. However, science and superstition, advancement and backwardness are incompatible after all. The scientific method adopted by Western missionaries in surveying the sky was not generally recognized in the country at that time.
Many people in the imperial court were skeptical and opposed. In the first year of Kangxi, Yang Guangxian, a health official in Xin'an, impeached Tang Ruowang and Nan Huairen, saying that their "calendar is absurd", "heresy to confuse the public", and "conspiracy to rebel". At that time, Shunzhi
When the two dynasties of Kangxi and Kangxi changed, the people in power were Obai and others. They knew nothing about heaven and arithmetic and could not judge the right and wrong of science. However, they seized on the so-called words such as "confused the public" and "rebellion". Tang Ruowang, Nan
Huairen had no choice but to suffer bad luck. As a result, the former was sentenced to death and the latter was expelled from the palace. After that, a major earthquake suddenly occurred in Beijing, the worst earthquake in a century. The stupid turtle worship thought it was because he punished Tang Ruowang and Nan Huai
Their benevolence offended Heaven, and they were hastily pardoned. Tang Ruowang died soon after his release. Although Nan Huairen regained his freedom, he could not return to work in the Qintian Prison, so he had to return to the church to preach. After Kangxi eradicated Ao Bai, Nan Huairen
Huairen was re-employed and assisted the Qing court in casting various artillery pieces. He became the Right Minister of the Ministry of Industry and the Supervisor of the Qin Dynasty. He was the second high-ranking Western official in the Qing Dynasty in the Qing Dynasty after Tang Ruowang was favored by Shunzhi.
Science and the celestial calendar are important, but Zhao Qiang is more interested in cannons. Compared with Dai Zi, Nan Huairen is inferior to the former in terms of firecrackers, but his research on artillery is inferior to the former.
Records from the Ministry of Industry show that between the eleventh year of Kangxi and the thirteenth year of Kangxi, Nan Huairen presided over the manufacture of a total of 132 various light wooden cannons and red copper cannons. In the sixteenth year of Kangxi, he also made the Shenwei General Cannon.
240, and in the 18th year of Kangxi's reign, 53 red cannons, 61 Wucheng Yonggu general cannons, and 0 Shengong general cannons were made. Three types of artillery designed by Nan Huairen were selected into the Qing Dynasty's national classics "The Imperial Cannon".
"Qing Huidian", the first one is the "Shenwei General" cannon, the second is the "Wucheng Yonggu General" cannon, and the third is the "Shengong General" cannon.
To put it simply, Nan Huairen is an artillery expert. He can help Guan Ning's army produce hundreds of cannons in a short period of time. These cannons are very important and important for Guan Ning's army, which is looking for a way out in the cracks of survival.
When Zhao Qiang arrives, he must put Nan Huairen to good use immediately.
The Ministry of Industry had the top craftsmen and raw materials in the entire Qing Dynasty. The storage of iron and copper materials was something Zhao Qiang had visited when he came to the capital for the first time. Although it was only the tip of the iceberg, it was shocking. Now, these craftsmen and raw materials are all owned by Zhao Qiang.
Yes, if you don't use them, you will be very sorry to Kangxi.
"Build cannons for me. The more cannons, the better. Can you do it?"
The commanding tone struck Nan Huairen's ears, and he did not dare to hesitate at all. He nodded lightly: "I will obey the prince in everything I do."
"Don't play any little tricks. I can't tolerate sand in my eyes. Nan Huairen, you are a member of Folangji. You don't need to interfere with the country's affairs. I can tell you frankly that all you can do now is to create things for me."
Cannon, if you can't make it or cut corners, I will definitely kill you."
Just like with Duncan and the others, there is always a carrot after a naked threat.
"As long as you build the cannon, I may be able to give you something that the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty could not give you."
The tantalizing pause aroused Nan Huairen's curiosity. He wanted to know what this "regent" who suddenly broke into Beijing could give him that the emperor could not.
"You Folangji people have been coming to the country since the Ming Dynasty because you want to preach in the country. You can build your churches in various places and appoint your clergy officials. Perhaps this king can help you do this, but,
The premise is that you and all the Fo Langji people in the capital must participate in the manufacture of cannons and muskets from today, otherwise, I don’t mind letting you die in the East!"
