"Mr. John, do you find it difficult to understand?" Wu Zheng smiled, "It's actually very simple, what I want to sell, the Qing court can get something, if I don't want to sell, then the Qing court can't get it." Of course, Mr. John's help was indispensable. ”

That is to say, if it is really done according to Wu Zheng's intentions, in terms of weapons alone, the Northern Expeditionary Army will have a method of restraint.

"No, no." John Tang screamed, "This is a betrayal, I can't do this." The Manchurians will kill me, and even the northern congregation will be implicated and killed...... No, no, merciful God, I will never say yes! ”

"Betrayal?" Wu Zheng sneered, "You're just a missionary in a foreign country, who are you loyal to?" Manchurian? No, you should be loyal to the Holy See, you should be loyal to the Father, and you should be loyal to civilization. Now that civilization has been invaded by barbarism, it may be forgivable that you could not choose to serve the Qing court before, but now that you have a choice, if you hesitate, it will be a real betrayal. ”

"But I'm an official of the Qing court...... No, it's horrible. ”

Wu Zheng waved his hand indifferently and said: "Of course, you also have the freedom to choose, but what this king wants to tell you is that you are not the only spokesperson for the Holy See in the Ming Dynasty. The king can suggest that the Holy See change one, and with the dealings with the Holy See in the past few years, the king believes that the Holy See will not be at odds with the king because of Mr. John. In other words, Mr. John's missionary career in the East may have ended there. ”

Tang Ruowang no longer has the calmness when he came in, he originally thought that he was just a young nobleman in front of him, but he didn't want to, he was actually a "devil", a "devil" who could devour people's hearts.

Tang Ruowang knew that Wu Zheng could do it, and he could do it.

As long as he suggested to the Holy See, it was very likely that he would be replaced, and he would not even need to send someone from the West, because the Holy See had at least a hundred missionaries in the East.

Tang Ruowang looked at Wu Zheng with a complicated gaze, but he didn't speak, he fell silent.

Wu Zheng smiled: "The darkness will be dispelled by the light, and civilization will eventually triumph over barbarism." When the Han Chinese regain control of the world, the splendor of God will also spread throughout China, and Mr. John will be one with Maldini in the north and one in the south...... What does Mr. John think? ”

In such a vast land, even if it is divided into north and south, it is a temptation that John Tang cannot refuse.

With the introduction of new geographies, armillary spheres, dials, telescopes and other instruments to Dolgon, as well as Western French calendars, Dolgon was reused, but the Qing court still did not approve of the spread of Catholicism.

Compared with Wei Kuangguo's process in the south, John Tang was a little ashamed of himself.

He, with a decision.

Carrots and sticks are the simplest and most effective ways to reason.

John Tang bowed down and said, "John Tang, I am willing to cooperate with His Excellency the King of the County." ”

……。

From Tang Ruowang's mouth, Wu Zheng learned that the Qing court reused Shen Zhiyuan and Qian Qiaogong.

I knew that the Qing court purchased these firearms for the two of them to train the musket army.

also learned that Xiao Fulin actually gave marriage to the two in order to win the hearts of these two.

Tang Ruowang said: "Shen Zhiyuan and Qian Qiaogong must be the meticulous work sent by His Excellency the King of the County to the Qing Court, right?" ”

Wu Zheng was stunned for a moment and said, "No, this king doesn't know that Shen Zhiyuan and Qian Qiaogong will suddenly be cleared. ”

Tang Ruowang shook his head and said, "Your Excellency can't hide from anyone, especially Dolgon, Hong and Fan, two scholars. ”

"Where do you start?"

"The Qing court never really trusted Shen Zhiyuan and Qian Qiaogong, and reused them just to train the musket army. Dolgon privately revealed to the Manchu nobles that the new musket army had been trained, and its commander could never be a Han Chinese. ”

Wu Zheng said: "It's not that this king wants to deceive Mr. John, this king really doesn't know, and he hasn't secretly ordered Shen Zhiyuan and Qian Qiao to surrender...... At that time, the two of them went north, because they were good at making claims. Of course, as Mr. John said, the king still believed that the two men had surrendered. ”

John Tang shook his head and said, "Your Excellency, the two of them are just children, and no one can win against Dolgon, Hong and Fan...... Whether they are really descending or deceitful, after a while, they will be really descending, otherwise, they will die. ”

Wu Zheng laughed, smiling very proudly, and he said to Tang Ruowang word by word: "It's gold, it will shine everywhere." ”

……。

In the prison of the government office.

Wu Zheng stood in front of Sun Zhengqiang.

"You're free." Wu Zheng said leisurely, "In a few days, you will go north with the Qing court mission." ”

Sun Zhengqiang's face was overjoyed, and then darkened.

"What, upset?"

Sun Zhengqiang suddenly knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said: "The criminal did not intend to surrender to the Qing, but he was actually killed by Chen Hongfan, and he was forced to surrender the Qing...... The criminal ministers were thinking about it all the time, and asked the prince to allow the guilty ministers to stay in Jiangnan and serve the prince. ”

Wu Zheng looked down at Sun Zhengqiang and said, "Don't think about being a dog, you are a person." There is no shortage of dogs and horses around this king, but there is a shortage of warriors. Now that you have a chance to become a warrior, it's up to you whether you want to or not. ”

Sun Zhengqiang raised his head and said solemnly: "If the prince trusts me, even if I die, I will never fail the prince." ”

"It's not that serious, come, get up and speak."

After Sun Zhengqiang got up, Wu Zheng said: "Actually, it's very simple, if you go back to Beijing, as long as you contact Shen Zhiyuan and Qian Qiaogong, it will be a great achievement." ”

Sun Zhengqiang was surprised: "This ...... That's it? ”

"Yes."

"What's so hard about that? The guilty will be able to do it. ”

Wu Zheng shook his hand and said, "There are more people who have descended to Qing...... There are not many people like you who call themselves sinners today, but there will be more and more in the future. From now on, you no longer have to call yourself a sinner, you are a secret stake of this king. Get up. ”

Sun Zhengqiang got up happily.

"Remember, it's not as simple as you think." Wu Zheng said in a deep voice, "First of all, you have been captured for many days, and when you return to the north, you will definitely be suspected and screened by the Qing court, so when you are not truly trusted, you must not contact Shen Zhiyuan and Qian Qiaogong." Remember, it's better to miss than to move. ”

"Subordinates remember."

"Besides, after you are screened by the Qing court, you will definitely be sent to Jiangnan, because after this change, Chen Hongman has been ambushed, and you will be the best choice for the Qing court to buy firearms and supplies from the south. Only at this time can you truly eliminate the suspicion of the Qing court, and you can contact Shen Zhiyuan and Qian Qiaogong. ”

"Yes." Sun Zhengqiang responded, "What does the prince need his subordinates to bring to Shen Zhiyuan and Qian Qiaogong?" ”

Wu Zheng was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Just one sentence, do what you want, don't take care of Jiangnan." ”

Sun Zhengqiang was a little stunned, and he asked cautiously, "Lord Wang...... Anything else? ”

Wu Zheng shook his head and said, "That's it." By the way, this king has chosen a companion for you, and if necessary, he can protect you. ”
