Chapter 11: Life and Faith

Tian Suo has really heard of the name of Yiha, but it is the kung fu of the past few years.

For the nobles, they are not cautious, but they look forward to making new contributions, so as not to learn to figure out their intentions.

For example, today's son has the heart to expand the territory.

Although whether it is eloquent or reckless, it will have to wait for the day when the coffin is closed.

But since the Son of Heaven has the heart to open up the frontier and is good at figuring out his intentions, Tian Suo has also read more about the old things in the border over the years.

The slave is the meaning of "picture" in the Jurchen language.

Between the white mountains and black waters, as soon as autumn arrives, the maple leaves are red, the leaves are yellow, the spring water is clear, the mountain flowers are blue, climb high and look at it, the rivers and mountains are picturesque, inherent in this name.

During the Yongle period, there was Zheng Sanbao in the south, Yishu in the north, and one of the two eunuchs opened up the South Seas, and the other passed through the northeast.

With a crippled body, they have done great things.

It's just that after Yongle, Daming shrunk.

After the civil fort, because Yisha was a Jurchen, under the stress reaction, the imperial history of the court imagined that the hearts of non-our people would be different, and the impeachment was also lost. In addition, the Nuer Gandu Division was abolished, and later generations rarely knew its name.

Liu Yu mentioned the inscription of Yishiha and Yongning Temple, Tian Suo knew that he didn't know the other, and turned his head to look at his son Tian Ping on the side.

Tian Ping is well-read and knowledgeable, and he has read a lot of miscellaneous books, but he also shook his head when he saw Tian Ping: "I have heard of the name of Yishaha." The inscription of Yongning Temple was built at the mouth of the Heilongjiang River, but it was unheard. Where did Brother Shou see it? ”

Liu Yu thought to himself, I saw it in my previous life, but he said with a haha: "The books I read are miscellaneous and biased, and I forget them after reading them, and I don't want to understand them." I also forgot which book I saw it, but as soon as I mentioned that Nu'er was in charge, I remembered it. ”

There is indeed Yongning Temple, and there is indeed an inscription, so it is called "Temple Street" in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and its temple is Yongning Temple.

Tian Suo was like a treasure, and he knew very well in his heart that this time he would negotiate with the Rakshasa Kingdom, although it would be delayed in the early stage, but it would definitely be formally negotiated after the war was fought in the later stage.

As Liu Yu said, whether it is Rakshasa or Dashun, if you start a war in Nuer Gandusi, you can only have two strong men scratching each other with goose feathers.

At most, there are only a few thousand soldiers, and it is necessary to decide on the land of hundreds of thousands of miles, and in the end it will have to be discussed.

After the Northeast talks, it will be able to make free moves, and even the two sides will work together to attack Dzungaria.

And if you really want to talk about it, you have to have evidence, if there is really this Yongning Temple inscription, it should be really wonderful.

Although in the "Unification Chronicles of the Ming Dynasty" in the period of the former Ming Dynasty, the Nuer Gandu Division who took the initiative to lay off was recorded, but from the vast and numerous books left by the previous dynasty, you can also get a glimpse of the panorama of the Nuer Gandu Division in the heyday of the year.

Records can also be found in the approximate location of the Nuer Gandu Division's Zhuwei Office, which can be used as a source for negotiations between the two sides.

Liu Yu was like a mirror in his heart, if he just talked about it this time, the form would be extremely unfavorable to Dashun.

Although there are only some Cossacks who go to collect furs on the Rakshasa country, some officers do come back from studying in France, and they are good at geometry and surveying, and they can draw first-hand maps.

Dashun is a little worse here, and the Ministry of Military Affairs is now busy preparing for the battle between the West French Party and the Old Party, and no one has gone to those bitter cold places to draw atlases before.

If you just fight with words, grind your mouth, and take out the map from the other side, but you can't get the map here, this war of words will be very disadvantageous.

Fortunately, there is a former dynasty since ancient times, and it can finally be regarded as the legacy of the Yongle Emperor.

Tian Suo wanted to know which book recorded this event, so that his staff could flip through it and find more useful information.

Liu Yu only said that he really forgot, but this incident was true and impressive.

The reason why he was impressed, Liu Yu deduced that "I thought that the former Ming was cowardly and trapped in the pass, but I never thought that it was wide, and there were slaves who worked for thousands of miles of land, so I was shocked, so I remembered it."

This reason sounded very reasonable, and Tian Suo also believed it ten percent and did not doubt it. Compared with the bird-like at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the weather during the Yongle period was indeed serious, and it was impossible not to be impressed.

"Shouchang, these things, you go back and write a booklet. Especially about Rakshasa, Lumi, and the arrogance of the Russian king, etc., compiled into a book, and introduce more Xiyi customs. One missionary may not be willing to talk about it; Second, I am afraid that these things are also taboos for them, and it is difficult to talk about them; Three...... As you know, there is a lot of suspicion of missionaries these days. ”

"If you are willing, I will send this pamphlet to the Holy Lord, and sign your name, which can be regarded as Jane in the emperor's heart. If you don't want to, I'll just say that someone else did it. It's up to you to decide, but this booklet should be written as soon as possible, and I will be able to use it. ”

Liu Yu naturally hoped that "Jane is in the emperor's heart", and nodded: "I know." Be sure to write it out as soon as possible these days. But...... Guogong, what's going on over there in Fujian? How did the missionaries provoke the Fujian Jiedu envoys? My father only admonished me, but he didn't make it clear. ”

Thinking that Tian Ping had vaguely mentioned that the envoy of Fujian Jiedu gave gifts to Qi Guogong, and Qi Guogong was famous for his love of "figuring out the intentions", Liu Yu wanted to know if the words of the forbidden religion in the court were the black hands of Qi Guogong behind his back?

If Qi Guogong is the mastermind behind the ban, he should follow up quickly......

Tian Suo didn't hide it, and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not a big deal. ”

"Here's why: There is a man surnamed Lin in Fuqing County, who married a widow who dragged an oil bottle before. As soon as the surname Lin died, the widow inherited the family business with the oil bottle. This oil bottle is a believer, and the clan asked him to pay money to worship his ancestors, he said that he is a believer, and he does not worship his ancestors, so why should he pay to worship his ancestors? ”

"The clan said, then if you don't worship your ancestors, how can you inherit our surname Lin's estate? The oil bottle said, "The inheritance belongs to my stepfather, and it is not from the clan, so why not inherit it?" ”

"You also know, the Min clan. No, the clan led people to rob his property, and dragged the oil bottle to complain. ”

"The county order of Fuqing County is called Bai Yunhang, and that is also a ghost. This guy had long been ready to take the opportunity to make trouble, and it was better to raise a liter, and in one of the operations, he sentenced the oil bottle to be returned to the industry. The priests of Fuqing County led the congregants to the county government to seek justice for the parishioners, and he took action, killing and wounding a few. As a result, he is favored by the above, and now he has been promoted to state pastor. ”

This state pastor is not Liu Xuande's state pastor of Yuzhou. The official position of the Tang Dynasty in Dashun was restored, the county was called the county order, the state was called the state pastor, and the prefect was restored to the mansion.

That Bai Yunhang is also a master of figuring out his intentions, and after some operation, he has actually risen up, which can be described as a promising future.

Liu Yu also understood, in the final analysis, it is still the same sentence, the economic foundation determines the superstructure, and the key to solving the problem is economic interests.

The clan is powerful and wants to eat the end of the household; The desperate family threw himself into the religion of Yahweh and fought together.

It is said that it is a matter of faith, but it is actually a matter of property, but this is a fuse, and the subsequent matter may not only be a matter of economic interests.

Sure enough, Tian Suo said again: "Later, Bai Yunhang arrested the religious students in Fuqing County and went to the Confucian temple to worship. Yahism does not worship ancestors, nor is it allowed to worship idolatry, and certainly cannot worship Zhou Gong and Confucius. ”

The students shouted: "Although the body worships, the heart is not convinced!" There are even 'martyrdom'. Bai Yunhang scolded them, saying that since you believe in Yahism and don't worship Confucius, why do you still want to be a student? The believers said: There are privileges and exemptions for students, and this life is also ...... for non-faith."

"No, the entire Fuqing County is in chaos, Fu'an County is also in chaos, and Fujian is in big trouble. The envoy of the Holy See, who entered the court a few days ago, talked about etiquette again. ”

Speaking of this, Tian Suo laughed and said, "That Bai Yunhang, it seems that he made the right bet." This person is thoughtful and good at figuring out the above thoughts, and I think this guy has a bright future. ”

Liu Yu also smiled: "If you lose the bet, wouldn't it be a dismissal and investigation?" ”

"Yes, but he's a county magistrate the size of a sesame mung bean, and if he loses the bet, he loses, what are you afraid of? If you win the bet, isn't this a promotion to the state pastor and a steady rise in the future? The county order is promoted to the state pastor, which is a big hurdle. ”

In a few words, a lot of information is revealed, and there is no need to say too much.

The point stopped, and Liu Yu also understood.

This ban on religion is inevitable, otherwise the county order called Bai Yunhang would not be able to promote the state pastor.

Bai Yunhang was promoted to the state pastor, which represented the tendency of the imperial court.

After thinking about it again, Liu Yu asked again: "But in this case, if you break up with the missionary, Guogong will go to negotiate with the Rakshasa State mission, how to solve the matter of translation?" ”

"How to fix it? You can't use Westerners. As soon as this incident comes out, there will be a group of people who have quit the religion within this month, and Your Majesty wants to see how many people are martyred in the court? There is no shortage of people, that is, when it comes to understanding the countries of Xiyi, they are far from you. Don't worry about translation. Even if they can do the translation, but when it comes to knowing the details of the Xiyi countries, it is absolutely impossible. That's why I'm looking for you. ”

After that, Tian Suo sorted out the text on the picture scroll on the table, and then advised: "What I told you, the details of the Western countries, write them out as soon as possible." Today, since Ping'er invited you to eat and drink, it is not good for you to go back in vain, but it seems that I can't even afford to eat a meal in the Mansion of Qi State. You two go now, the kitchen has already prepared the food and drinks. ”

Liu Yutian and Ping saluted and retreated to eat and drink.

There was no singing Dan called Yang, and the two of them accompanied the wine with the story of Xiyi, which was quite tasteful.

Before I knew it, I drank a little too much, and I don't know if I said something I shouldn't have said.

When he went back, Tian Ping had already asked someone to prepare some fresh crabs, and asked the kitchen to make some dishes that Liu Yu had a few more chopsticks on the table, and sent them to the Yiguo Mansion.

was about to get on the car, and I really wrapped a few big pomelos from Fujian, which is the so-called chivalrous and peaceful throwing in the fruit. patted the pomelo, Tian Ping helped the drunk Liu Yu to get into the car, and said with a smile: "Brother Shouchang, you can also understand this today." ”

"The things you said about the West and the Rakshasa state need someone to listen to them all. This matter is confidential and cannot be used by ordinary people, so my father has to let me follow you, learn more and ask more questions, and come back to make it clear. It's not good to invite you over every day. ”

Since Tian Suo asked Tian Ping to listen to this matter today, Liu Yu certainly understood what Tian Suo meant.

These things can't be explained clearly in a day, especially how to talk about the other party's pain points when negotiating, which requires a lot of understanding.

This kind of confidential matter must not be found by others.

Of course, Tian Suo can trust his son, and in the future, Tian Ping will follow Liu Yu and record everything he wants to inquire about, so as not to make mistakes.

Liu Yu snapped his fingers and said, "Don't worry, I know in my heart, how dare I neglect such a big thing?" Don't send it, brother, I'll go back, it's not too early. We'll see you tomorrow. ”
