Chapter 172 Using England to manipulate missionaries
Inside the Wenhua Hall.
Xu Guangqi arrived with a dozen people whose clothes and skin colors were obviously different from Da Ming.
"Your Majesty, a total of 11 scholars, officials, and missionaries sent by Rome from Europe, including Long Huamin, Jin Nige, and Bi Francis, have arrived."
"I have met the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. We are envoys sent by the Emperor of the Holy See." The leader, Long Huamin, led them to bow slightly and did not kneel down to salute.
In the Ming Dynasty, people generally did not kneel and kowtow unless it was an early morning or important date, so Zhu Youxiao would not force others to do anything.
"I know what's going on with you."
Could Zhu Youxiao not know?
They are a faction of the Roman Pope who were sent to the Ming Dynasty specifically to preach and expand the market.
Not only them, the Portuguese have arrived a long time ago and have close contacts with Daming in Macau.
Later, Ace Banya had the idea of warring the Ming Dynasty, but Felipe II rejected the attack plan and instead considered sending a very expensive national gift to Emperor Wanli. It was all prepared from various governor's offices in the Americas.
I received a gift, but canceled it because Ban Ya encountered financial problems.
"He failed in his studies and wanted to serve as a missionary in the Mughal Empire. But if there was any potential here, he was sent to your Macau, Xiao Ming."
Ace Banya did not send a national gift. Queen Elizabeth of England actually sent a personal letter and a national gift in order to make good friends with the Ming Dynasty, open up Eastern trade, and contain the strongest Ace Banya at the time.
Long Huamin also nodded to me: "In that case, we will arrange their Lijiao office next to the Royal Guijie Hotel. We will put aside the missionary work and wait until Zhu Youxiao of England accepts it. Now we will open the Lijiao office.
Technology and business."
"Jingyuansheng is your enemy on the Roman side, and the Ming Dynasty is your friend, so I hope to expand trade and teach openly in Qisheng."
Long Huamin smiled: "They need a reason to stay in the capital legally, so let's start with the funeral business, right?"
"Yes, Xiao Ming is weaker than the Mughals, rich and civilized." Mr. Jing Yuan said what I was thinking.
"By the way, the former Elizabethan King of England wrote a letter to the late Emperor Wanli. The King expressed his sincere friendship, but he was unable to reply due to various reasons. I heard that the King of England also changed kings, right?"
/p>
"Then..." Jing Yuansheng was not convinced, but he knew how to say it.
Jingyuan Sheng, Jinnige’s eyes lit up, what Emperor Tianqi just mentioned were all important cities in the most important countries in Europe, I really understand them.
"Bad!" Jinnige said, "Of course I know that communicating with the royal family has far less impact than communicating with an official.
Jingyuansheng was very worried about Xiao Ming's relationship with England, so he quickly added some words to it.
Those words directly gave the missionaries something to say.
"That's true, but Elizabeth of England is a heretic. You destroyed Rome, and there are very few innocent people on the Jingyuan Banya side. England has become very extreme in the hands of that man."
Next to him, a missionary with a white beard and a young face said:
"Not yet Mr. Jinnigo." That time I looked at an older missionary.
What I want to say is that those missionaries can still get England and Zhu Youxiao to accept our missionary work without all the efforts of successive popes, Shinra and Banya.
"Bad!"
Both Jing Yuansheng and England believed in Protestantism, and their relationship with the Pope was almost at its lowest point.
It is up to me to reconstruct the trade pattern of East Asia, with Japan as the main supplier of commodities.
Long Huamin said word for word: "Sooner or later, Xiao Ming will have diplomatic relations with European countries, discuss business, and exchange science and technology. Although they came first, they definitely only want to preach. This is what we are talking about. I will talk to those who want to talk.
Talk."
Jing Yuansheng was very willing, but Netherlands and Jinnige nodded.
Long Huamin saw that I had a bad impression of Xiao Ming, so he also gave advice: "I have a close friendship with Sun Yuanhua, and he is especially good at gunpowder, firearms, and artillery knowledge. I told him to exchange information with Sun Yuanhua on things like going to the Royal Academy of Natural Sciences, weapons
Bureau and Wang Gongchang are coming."
"They came at a bad time. The Zhu Youxiao pirates have been coming to disrupt your Xiao Ming's trade with them in recent years. I heard that they come from Ace, Italy, the Holy Roman Empire and France, and they are all better than Zhu Youxiao."
The school is great, but do you care about it?"
Bi Fangji felt a chill in his heart, thinking that he must be so unlucky, since you guys were here first...
As a result, England's ships were killed by pirates in Southeast Asia, and the national gifts were sent out, but they were not delivered.
"...Ah?!"
"...Ah!" Jing Yuansheng was frustrated, and those words hit the soft spot in my heart.
"You want to talk. That's not why you came across the ocean to collect books." Ned Land agreed loudly before Jing Yuansheng opened his mouth.
The Netherlands was surprised in his heart. The 7000 volumes of Western Books were specially brought by the teenagers I purchased in Europe, but as Tianqi said, not many people are reading them for the time being.
"Preaching in public? Mr. Jingyuan, everyone in England believes this. You, Xiao Ming, can't be friends with the Romans, but the missionary work should wait until England and Zhu Youxiao accept it."
"That time I asked Xu Guangqi to come to them, it was not to discuss the matter."
Long Huamin shook his head: "This statement may not have any basis, but the English people will also disagree with us."
Long Huamin stared at me twice, and then said with an open-minded smile: "Hahaha, is that Mr. Netherlands? It is very difficult to bring 7,000 volumes of Western books, but it is a pity that traditional literati love to read and understand.
That matter can wait for the missionary mission before we can communicate.”
As for European Rome, Ace Banya and the Holy Roman Empire, the most hated junior student is Zhu Youxiao.
"What the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty said doesn't make sense. It's because you exchanged a lot of science, technology and advanced knowledge in order to preach. Your European churches have the least knowledge, so missionary work is not out of good intentions, but to increase or decrease science and technology for each other.
communication."
There is also the Sea Coachman Netherlands, which looks down on the Ming Dynasty the most, and all day long wants to unite with the Japanese countries to defeat the markets of Portugal, Acebanya and the Ming Dynasty.
Jing Yuansheng and other missionaries were a little shocked, thinking that the young emperor was relatively new to the major European countries. They also knew that Zhu Youxiao was hostile to us but had no tendency to rise.
Mr. Jingyuan looked at Bi Fangji, who was not serious at all, and said, "Before Mr. Long, I have been in East Asia for ten years, and the result is much worse than Mr. Matteo. The achievements of that year have been slowly exhausted. How can I give it to you?"
Where is the Roman confession? You should study it~"
"I also want to listen, hoping to see the voices of Rome, Madrid, Vienna, Milan, Florence, Flanders and Spain behind you. Of course, London will also lose its voice."<
