After thinking about it for a long time, Innocent X still agreed to Emperor Chongzhen's proposal, because Innocent agreed or not, for the Ming Dynasty, basically had no effect.

promised, Europe has entered the era of great power hegemony, which is probably equivalent to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, where several older guys fought each other, and after the strongest one won, it will be terminated by the Ming Dynasty;

If you don't agree, Europe will die in large numbers and then enter the era of separation, and then be terminated by the Ming Dynasty.

The routine is basically such a routine, and the result is basically such a result, for Daming, it is nothing more than a matter of delaying a few more years or a few years in advance.

Innocent X obviously understood this, and even if Innocent X was evaluated as the most inactive pope, he always had some vision.

Rather than rejecting Emperor Chongzhen and waiting for Europe to become a complete mess, it is better to control the situation in Europe within a controllable range and end it as soon as possible.

If Europe can be unified as a whole as soon as possible, or will there be a chance to catch up with the Ming Dynasty?

Dreams always have to come true, what if they come true?

After returning to the residence, Innocent X exhaled a deep breath of turbidity, and after inhaling a bubble of Fushou ointment, Innocent X, who was relaxed from the spirit to the body, sat up straight from the couch and said: "Let's talk about it, what do you think of the requirements of the Ming Emperor?" ”

Arnold Auerbach straightened up and carefully placed the cigarette gun on the table next to him before speaking: "Obviously, the Ming Emperor could not simply allow us to preach.

There is no free lunch in the world, as long as the Holy See agrees to Emperor Chongzhen's conditions, then the Ming Dynasty will definitely propose missionaries such as parties to come to Europe and spread their faith, what should we do when the time comes? ”

Innocent X, who put down his cigarette and picked up a cigarette, spit out a smoke ring and said with a faint smile: "There are some people who claim to be God's chosen people, so here comes the problem."

Did they elect the Jade Emperor God, or did the doppelganger of the Jade Emperor choose them to be the elect? In other words, when we created people, why did we create them? ”

Auerbach's body, which was still slightly bowed, straightened up instantly, and even his eyes lit up a little: "You mean to tell the Ming Emperor about their existence?" ”

Innocent X shook his head lightly and said, "No, there is no need to tell the Ming Emperor about their existence.

If the Ming Emperor already knows, it is useless for us to tell him, if the Ming Emperor does not know, then what kind of position do we stand on to tell him?

In my opinion, it is better to agree to the request of the Ming Emperor, and then let the Ming send their missionaries to compete with those God's chosen people, and see whether the missionaries of the Ming Dynasty are more powerful, or those who believe in the Jewish Mystical Dictionary are more powerful! ”

Innocent X's expression was a little gloomy, and his expression at this time began to overlap with the gloom and viciousness of the outside world.

Since the Ming Emperor wants the religion of the Ming Dynasty to spread to Europe as well, then come on, anyway, it's already messy enough, and it doesn't matter if there are more or two families.

……

Emperor Chongzhen threw the translation of the Talmud in his hand to the ground, and said coldly: "I want to know, is the Da Ming Law more important, or is the Talmud more important?" ”

Zhang Zhiji, who was secretly scolding in his heart, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, bowed down and said: "Your Majesty is angry, it's just some barbarian nonsense, it's not worth being angry with Your Majesty, it's better to take care of the dragon's body!" ”

Emperor Chongzhen snorted coldly: "Take care of the dragon body? I'm not old, I can still use a knife, and I don't need to protect the dragon body! It's the nonsense of these barbarians that makes me feel a little emotional.

Look at those bald donkeys, and those bull noses, where is there a fight? Is the attitude of love believe it or not, the attitude of missionary work? ”

Zhang Zhiji was suddenly a little confused: "What does Your Majesty mean?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen sneered: "I don't mean anything, if this time next year, the effect of their missions in Europe is still like this, I see that they don't need to preach, they all go home and farm!" ”

It's so unassuming!

Although Buddhism still pays attention to the eighteen layers of hell, it has been mixed with Taoism for a long time, and it actually has some meaning of believing or not believing in it.

Who is behind these two?

Shaolin Temple, Longhu Mountain, this is the official on the surface, but secretly there are Jinyiwei and Dongchang who are contributing to them, and the entire Ming Dynasty is working hard for them behind their backs.

However, the result of these two losers preaching in Europe was a few temples, a hundred and ten believers, and it was over! What's even more fucking up is that half of it was developed by Southern Shaolin, and the remaining half was developed by Northern Shaolin and Longhu Mountain.

Although it is said that the missionary time of these two families is a bit short, but it takes a whole year to make such a little movement, is it worthy of Emperor Chongzhen? Is it worthy of Daming? Are you worthy of the factory guards who secretly help them?

"Pass on my meaning to Zhang Xianyong and the monk on the other side of the sea, and cut the degree by 30% next year, and if it is still the same next year, it will be cut by 30%!"

Zhang Zhiji thought about it in his heart, and found that if he played like this, he might not be given to Shaolin Temple and Longhu Mountain in three or four years, and maybe there would be a large number of bald donkeys and ox noses that would be forced to return to vulgarity.

But what does this have to do with you? The headaches on the left and right are Zhang Xianyong and Haikuan on the other side, although Zhang Xianyong is also surnamed Zhang......

After Zhang Zhiji bowed down, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "How is the progress in England now?" Is there any latest news coming back? ”

Wang Guoxing bowed and said: "Your Majesty, all the ports of England have been destroyed, Penzance, Exeter, Barnstepper, Southampton, Portsmouth, Brighton, Dover, and the Cork area of the island of Ireland have been captured by the army, and the army is clearing the remnants of the barbarians. ”

Emperor Chongzhen squinted at Zhang Zhiji: "If you calculate according to this progress, how long will it take to take the whole of England?" ”

Zhang Zhiji pondered in his heart for a while and then bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, half a year, at most, it will take half a year, it will be enough to calm down the whole of England, and then I can start to emigrate to England." ”

After finishing speaking, Zhang Zhiji suddenly sighed in his heart and secretly screamed that it was not good.

I can't tell where I feel that I came from, Zhang Zhiji always feels that he is going to be unlucky, and he may be pitted by Emperor Chongzhen again?

Sure enough, as Zhang Zhiji expected, Emperor Chongzhen said lightly after humming: "I remember that when the old British Duke was still there, I once said that the land of England happened to be the title of the British Duke. ”

Zhang Zhiji bowed down and said: "Your Majesty Longen, the minister will never dare or forget!" ”

Zhang Zhiji's words came from the bottom of his heart, because Emperor Chongzhen really didn't say anything about the British public line.

The good thing of leading soldiers to fight and fishing for military merits has always been a part of the British duke, and the glory of a duke and a marquis in the British mansion, even in the entire Ming Dynasty, only the Xu family can stabilize his own family.

However, the Xu family is not as trusted by Emperor Chongzhen as his own family, even if Xu Wenjue's performance in the army is dazzling enough, he is still not as good as himself.

The simplest example, the eldest princess......

In the past, when the princess of Daming got married, the concubines were basically selected from the talents who came up from the imperial examination, and it was not easy for Jiangmen to marry a princess and go home, and he would lose the opportunity to lead the troops.

Where's that bastard thing in your own house? Lead the troops in front of the battle now!

Even if this favor is repeated in the entire Ming Dynasty, I am afraid that it is rare, so Zhang Zhiji's gratitude is really sincere.

However, Emperor Chongzhen, who had a dog on his conscience, didn't care whether Zhang Zhiji was sincere or not: "What I said at the beginning naturally counts, and if I give you the British Mansion, then this is the fief of your British Mansion."

It's just that since this place is the fief of your British government, the subsequent immigration and other expenses should naturally be borne by your British government, as well as the military expenses? ”

Zhang Zhiji was stunned at this moment.

If it is said that the British government bears the cost of immigration, it is a big deal to realize all the land and business of the British government in Daming, and those who smash the pot and sell iron can survive a few years of hard life.

But this military spending, let alone the British government, even the Xu family can't support it!

As soon as the cannon goes off, there are 10,000 taels of gold, this theory is not just talking, but real!

From the transportation of troops and materials in the Ming Dynasty, to the war on the front line, rewards and pensions after the war, which one does not cost money?

Even if 10,000 taels of gold can be understood as being able to grab 10,000 taels of gold from the enemy country, it belongs to making oneself rich, but this kind of thing has to be seen separately, right?

If this war was the British government's own behavior, then Zhang Zhi dared to swear at Zhang Weixian's tablet, let alone 10,000 taels, and the proceeds of 100,000 taels could be returned.

However, this war was a large-scale war involving the mobilization of three fleets and hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and the British government could not even afford 10% of the military expenses!

Not to mention, Emperor Chongzhen is still here, and all the proceeds will definitely not go into the pockets of the British Mansion......

In this case, Emperor Chongzhen told Zhang Zhiji to let the British government bear the immigration and military expenses, and Zhang Zhiji was not confused.

After being stunned for a long time, Zhang Zhiji sneered and said: "Your Majesty, it's okay to be immigrant, but this military expense? The minister is really weak, and the minister is willing to donate a million taels! ”

Spending money to buy peace?

With a snort, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said: "Okay, okay, it's not that I don't have any numbers in my heart, it's just a joke with you, why take it seriously?" However, I am not joking about immigration. ”

After finishing speaking, Emperor Chongzhen said with a straight face: "The land of England is separated from the Ming Dynasty by several major oceans, and it is not an overnight thing to immigrate, so you had better prepare first." ”

After Zhang Zhiji bowed down again, he pondered and said, "Your Majesty, can the minister return the fiefdom of England to the treasury?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen snorted in surprise and asked, "Why?" ”

The fiefdom of England is definitely not small, and even some small feudal fiefdoms do not have such a large area, holding such a fief in their hands, they are basically waiting for the silver to drill into their pockets.

Emperor Chongzhen believed that if this fief of England was to be given to other vassal kings, it was estimated that those vassal kings would wake up with a smile in their dreams, but Zhang Zhiji didn't want it?

Zhang Zhiji bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, my father once said a sentence before his death, people must learn to cherish blessings. The British government has already obtained enough in Daming, and it does not dare to ask for such a large fiefdom.

The minister was willing to bear the cost of this immigration, but in the future, the tax and official selection were still wanted to be handed back to the household department and the official department. The minister really doesn't want to leave Daming, let alone leave His Majesty's side! ”

Emperor Chongzhen laughed and said, "Who said you were allowed to leave?" Wouldn't it be nice for this kid to stay here? When I think about them in the future, let them take a boat back to Daming Province.

However, the land of the Southern Four Guards that I gave to Cher in the first place is about to be taken back, so you can see for another place for her here in England. ”

Zhang Zhiji saw that he could no longer persuade Emperor Chongzhen, so he had no choice but to respond helplessly at the moment - his premonition just now was really right, isn't it bad luck now?

The southern four guards of the eldest princess of Ningde said that it was not big, and it was not small to say that it was small, and it was inconspicuous in Daming, but it was absolutely eye-catching in England.

Then the entire British government will continue to pay for immigration for the next few decades, and it will not be paid back until two or three years after the completion of the settlement.

And he still has to stay in Daming to work for this master, and then leave his son and eldest princess in England, it is not easy to hug his grandson......

If it is because Zhang Shize, a pig, arched the cabbage of Emperor Chongzhen's house, that he fell into such a situation, then Zhang Zhiji just wants to say, your old man is really big-bellied!

However, Emperor Chongzhen, who had finished pit Zhang Zhiji, was in a beautiful mood, and even smiled when he talked with Ferdinand III and Innocent X.

In his talks with Ferdinand III and Innocent X, Emperor Chongzhen told both sides that he and the Ming Empire would vigorously support them, and would never take sides of the other, and would even mediate disputes between the two families if necessary.

Ferdinand III believed it - his children and daughters, and gave away such a large piece of land, how can it be more reliable, right?

Innocent X also believed it - so many quid pro quo promises went out, Daming's guarantee should be reliable, right?

However, Emperor Chongzhen did not believe it.

It's like when two countries opened a film in the later generations, they both found a certain rabbit to buy bricks, on the condition that the rabbit did not support each other, and then the rabbit also agreed.

Rabbit really didn't break his word, because Rabbit really didn't help either side between the two countries - it was just that at an important voting meeting, Rabbit abstained......
