One: "Of course. ”

Tang Ruowang would not refuse Zhu Xu, and followed him by his side, half a step slower, his demeanor and movements were quite respectful.

Zhu Xu was thinking about the wording, and Tang Ruowang spoke first: "Congratulations to Your Majesty on being able to defeat Spain and the Netherlands, I believe that there will be no more threats in the waters near Daming." ”

Zhu Xu nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you, sir." ”

The 'confessions' written by John Tang and other missionaries really helped Zhu Xu a lot, allowing him to see clearly in Europe and the South China Sea.

Born in Prussia, John Tong was a devout missionary of the Holy Roman Empire, who had little affection for Spain and snow peas, and was concerned with 'the glory of God'.

Tang Ruowang has been in the Ming Dynasty for many years, knows the Ming people very well, and can hear a touch of 'insincerity' from Zhu Xu's words, or continues: "Your Majesty, you can see my sincerity, I and my God will not be half harmful to the Ming Dynasty, we hope that your people can live a better life and have some sustenance, which will not pose any threat to Your Majesty's Ming Dynasty." ”

If religion could be so pure, Zhu Xu would not be so covered, with his hands behind his back, he paced slowly, and suddenly said: "I might as well open up with Mr. and say, your God is yours after all, not the Ming Dynasty, you come to preach, whether it is me or the courtiers, you are worried, you are challenging our thoughts, you should know the risks...... I can't tolerate it! ”

Tang Ruowang frowned slightly and was silent. The purpose of his mission was to turn the Ming Dynasty into a kingdom that was 'sprinkled with the glory of God', which apparently stabbed the Ming Emperor in the backs.

But he seemed to have heard a different flavor from the words of His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, which made him unpredictable.

Although he is proficient in Chinese, can speak fluent Chinese, and even surpasses the average Jinshi, he still can't figure out all the obscure words and communication methods of the Ming people.

This, even if the Ming people themselves speak, they have to figure out each other, let alone a foreigner.

After a long time, John Tang gave up, looked up at Zhu Xu's side face, and said, "Your Majesty, I have no intention of participating in the politics of your country, and God is not an official, I can assure you that the church will not be involved in anything other than 'God'." ”

Zhu Xu saw that Tang Ruowang didn't understand what he meant, and he was not in a hurry, and said with a smile: "Sir, what I mean is that such a thing as missionary work should not be rushed, not only me, but the entire Ming Dynasty does not know about you, and I hope to establish a seminary in Daming to study and develop theology, including your missionary career." ”

Just like Buddhism, the Ming Dynasty needs its own Buddhism, not the Indian one, so 'God', the Ming Dynasty does not need overseas, it should be the Ming Dynasty itself.

If John Tang can localize the 'God', and even be able to keep pace with the European 'God', Zhu Xu will be happy and even vigorously promote, but if it is European, the Ming Dynasty does not need it.

The 'God' of Europe has been divided several times, and he doesn't care about the Ming this time.

Tang Ruowang listened to Zhu Xu's words, and only felt that His Majesty the Ming Emperor had loosened up, but he still didn't let go, and thought about it: "Your Majesty, of course you can establish a seminary." Missionary work, if it is not fully liberalized, I hope it can be ...... at least in some places"

Zhu Xu shook his head categorically and said, "On the basis of not enough public opinion, I will not allow it!" Also, about the history of our country, the origin and origin of our Han people, Mr. can't speculate and talk nonsense at will, if I find out, don't blame me for being unpredictable. ”

In order to cater to their teachings, John Tong and other missionaries changed the ancestor of the Chinese nation to the Jews, believing that Chinese came from the West, and so did the culture, so 'grow up children and grandchildren, and pass them on from family to family, and what they learn in China at this time will be twice as prosperous in the present world'.

This is simply murdering Chinese culture from the source, and replacing Confucianism with theology!

John Tong frowned, their 'parishioners' did regard the Ming people as Jewish descendants, and spreading it in this way was conducive to narrowing the distance and making it easier to proselytize.

Obviously, these also made His Majesty the Ming Emperor dissatisfied.

'Perhaps, there's more to ......'

Tang Ruowang reflected in his heart, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, I will review these, but I still hope that Your Majesty can understand that Europe and the Ming Dynasty have a very strong complementary role, the Ming Dynasty has a prosperous culture, Europe has a long science and technology, and missionary is not only about faith." ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Xu turned his head to look at him and said, "Sir's words are reasonable, I plan to send envoys to Europe next year, especially the Holy See, can you convey it on your behalf?" ”

Tang Ruowang looked slightly stunned and said, "Your Majesty wants to send someone to visit the Holy See?" He couldn't react for a while, and he didn't know what Emperor Ming was thinking.

Zhu Xu has already planned for a long time, and he has already asked for the big ship to be built in March next year, and at that time, there will be a huge fleet to visit Europe, what kind of grand scene will it be!

"Not bad!"

Zhu Xu said: "I hope to strengthen the exchanges between the East and the West, and the friendship between the Ming Dynasty and Europe is very important to the world. ”

Although John Tang didn't quite understand Zhu Xu's intentions, he was happy that he could send an envoy to visit the Holy See, and bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, I believe that the Pope will be extremely happy with your kindness, and I am willing to convey it on my behalf, and arrange for you to lead the way." ”

In the end, Tang Ruowang knew that Daming did not have the ability to go to the sea, but Zhu Xu was not the only one available in his hands, and he wanted to visit not only the Holy See, Spain, the Netherlands, and now England, if it weren't for the fact that several other empires would soon fall apart, unreliable and the Ottoman Empire was too unsafe, Zhu Xu wanted people to go and see it clearly.

Zhu Xu's thought Tang Ruowang must not have guessed, strolled into the city, looked up at the sky, and said, "Sir, I heard that Europe is expelling Jews?" ”

Speaking of which, the Jews were also unlucky, they were expelled by Spain a few years ago, and now the Netherlands and the Roman Empire and other alliances have also begun to expel them, and they could have run to the Ottoman Empire, but the Ottoman Empire thought they were 'spies' and refused, and the persecuted Jews began to go to sea.

Tang Ruowang looked up at Zhu Xu, a little surprised, but still said, "Yes." To put it succinctly, it is clear that he disagrees with the expulsion of Jews from Europe, and he cannot speak outright.

Zhu Xu nodded and said, "I have a lot of resources in Daming, if possible, I hope to invite them to settle in my Daming." "The Jews today should be extremely helpful to the Ming Dynasty, especially in the area of maritime trade and colonial expansion. The most important thing is that Zhu Xu is confident that there is no civilization that the Han civilization cannot assimilate!

Tang Ruowang didn't understand why His Majesty the Ming Emperor's words jumped so fast, and his mind was still on the Ming Dynasty's visit to the Holy See, so he followed Zhu Xu and said, "I will pass it back for Your Majesty." Your Majesty, do you have something you want me to convey to His Holiness the Pope? ”

Zhu Xu put his hands behind his back, looked at the sun that was about to set, and said: "Rome is too far away from Daming, I hope that there will also be a Holy See in Daming, which will become a center and strengthen the exchanges between the Roman Empire and my Daming, and I believe that His Majesty the Pope will be willing to make efforts for this." ”

This Holy See will be the Holy See of the Ming Dynasty, with new doctrines, new culture, and new beginnings!

Tang Ruowang didn't understand what Zhu Xu was thinking, his eyes widened, and he said, "What Your Majesty said is true?" He thought that this was a positive sign that His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty would allow them to preach!

"Of course,"

Zhu Xu's smile became more and more extensive, and he said, "I also hope to build a Confucian temple in Rome, where they can meet each other and communicate with each other. ”

Tang Ruowang was extremely excited, and said to Zhu Xu with Roman etiquette, "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the Pope will definitely welcome the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, I believe that this will be an incomparably wonderful beginning, enough to shine in the annals of history and shine in the future of mankind!" ”

Zhu Xu put his hands behind his back and said, "I also hope so." That's right, O. Gate is just an island, not suitable for living, I have opened up a place in Nanzhili, there will be a special foreign affairs department, responsible for approval, as long as you Europeans, good behavior in the past, you can get two years of residency, every two years of review, after ten years, you can get my Ming nationality, have permanent residency. ”

Zhu Xu is talking about the Gold and Silver Village, which is the future, international, economic, cultural, and even international political intersection center that he created, and these Europeans gather here, which is the most suitable!

John Tang was a little flattered, and saluted again: "Thank you for Your Majesty's kindness, I believe that all those who travel will thank Your Majesty for your generosity and kindness from the bottom of their hearts." ”

Actually, stay in Australia. The Spaniards, the Portuguese, are mostly homeless, and if they are forcibly driven away, they may have to die on the way.

"Sir, is you familiar with the Roman Empire?" Zhu Xu said suddenly.

Tang Ruowang was a little unaccustomed to Zhu Xu's jump, but continued: "I was born in the empire, so I am naturally familiar with it, I wonder if Your Majesty will also visit the empire?" ”

Although the current Holy Roman Empire is said to be falling apart, it will not fall, and now there is a huge federation in support, that is, now Germany, Austria, Poland and other vast regions, this empire is now facing the Ottoman Empire, preventing the Ottoman westward advance, the two empires have also fought for decades, winning and losing each other.

At the same time, the Holy Roman Empire was also divided internally, there were many places that had lost control, ostensibly part of the empire, but in fact became an independent federation, including Spain, France, etc., each with its own alliances, marriages, and wars that lasted for decades, without the slightest intention of stopping.

Zhu Xu said: "If possible, I hope to invite the Roman Empire to visit the Ming Dynasty. ”

The business that Zhu Xu wants to do with the help of John Tang is with this Holy Roman Empire!

The war in Europe is endless, Zhu Xu has no intention of interfering, but he has to make a lot of money, and if he misses this time period, there will be no better opportunity!

As for who wins and who loses, who loses and who wins, Zhu Xu doesn't bother to care, let them play in the sky!

The artillery, muskets, and warships of the Ming Dynasty are ahead of Europe, in addition to the artillery can not be sold with the most advanced, the battleships and muskets can be sold with slight changes, in addition to the large profits, it will also greatly enhance the mining, metallurgical shipbuilding, artillery, muskets and a series of heavy industries in the Ming Dynasty!

And bleed Europe and stop them from becoming stronger!

As long as he survives the next ten years, even against the whole of Europe, Zhu Xu is not afraid!
