"The majesty of the Ming army is awe-inspiring!"

Li Hao, the son of the king of the Ming Dynasty and the son of the king of the Ming Dynasty, who succeeded to the throne soon in history, said with emotion.

He was just in time.

Just when the Futai fleet set sail for Fuzhou with cannons, he arrived in Nanjing on the battleship of the Beiyang Naval Division, so Yang Qing also let him see the strongest lineup of the Ming Navy by the way. At this moment, on both sides of this old battleship going upstream, ten cruisers lined up in a column to meet it downstream, all the gun doors on the side of the ship were opened, and the muzzles of one cannon were rolled out.

"Forgive me, they are abrupt."

Said the accompanying Ministry of Rites official.

Obviously, this is not etiquette.

At this moment, with a deafening loud bang, flames suddenly erupted from the front cannon door on the Chang Yuchun and Xu Da that passed by on the opposite side......

Li Hao and the officials of the Ministry of Rites screamed at the same time and threw themselves on the deck.

Only Zheng Chenggong stood there motionless.

And at this time, the side guns of the two battleships spewed flames from front to back at very short intervals, and the sound of the cannons resounded like thunder on both sides of the Yangtze River, but no shells were heard in the sky, let alone any cannonballs hit the warship, and the short salvo of twenty-four cannons ended in a blink of an eye.

Zheng Chenggong picked up Li Hao, who was still screaming.

"The prince of the world, please get up, but I was negligent and forgot to remind the prince that this is the new welcome gift of my Ming Navy, and it is only used for VIPs like the prince, this is called a parade."

He said with a smile.

"Read, parade?"

Li Hao's lips trembled.

"That's right, the parade, invite the most distinguished guests to review the Navy's warships."

Zheng Chenggong said with certainty.

At this time, the second group of two cruisers passed by, and like the first group, the guns on the sides of the two cruisers continued to spray flames from front to back at a very fast speed, but fortunately, knowing that this was an empty gun, Li Hao was not frightened and lay on the deck. But the scene of dozens of cannon muzzles spraying flames at him on the two warships more than a dozen zhang away on both sides still made his heart tremble, and the thunderous sound of the cannon seemed to be in his ears, and the two legs of this prince who had been educated by the Confucian scholars were also trembling. And the official of the Ministry of Etiquette who got up by himself next to him had a gloomy face, which is the hospitality etiquette that the Ming Dynasty etiquette should have, and it is completely the style of Zhu Di's barbarian.

The world is going down!

The good character is getting farther and farther away.

Standing on the deck, they trembled through the fleet, and sailed into the Shimonoseki dock with the rumbling of guns to welcome them.

But there was no one on the docks.

In addition to Gu Xichou, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the necessary welcome honor guard, there were not many Jinyi guards and the Ming army who were originally stationed at the Xiaguan Wharf, and there were almost no ordinary people watching the bustle, and the entire Xiaguan Wharf was deserted.

That's weird.

Anyway, this is also the son of the king of North Korea to pay tribute and give prisoners, not to mention the crowds of people, at least there must be a million people to watch the excitement!

"Gu Shangshu, is Nanjing so depressed?"

Zheng Chenggong asked suspiciously.

"General Zheng said with a smile, Nanjing's prosperity is naturally better than in the past, but today is a little special, and people have gone to see the duel."

Gu Xichou said embarrassedly.

"Duel?"

Zheng Chenggong and Li Hao were stunned at the same time.

Well, this day is also a day of duels.

Half an hour later.

Zheng Chenggong and Li Hao could already stand behind the crowd and watch the duel on the city wall, which attracted more than half a million onlookers in Nanjing and its surrounding prefectures and counties.

That's more than half a million people, indeed.

The entire treasure gate can be described as a sea of people, in fact, the farthest estimate is that even the city wall is barely visible, it is impossible to watch, at most know the result in time. In order to avoid a stampede, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and the Jinyi Guard dispatched more than 10,000 people to maintain order at the scene. Even the Yuhuatai far away was full of people, and the tower of Dabao'en Temple was surrounded by the Jinyi Guard, because the Queen Mother, the Concubine, and the prison country still had a large group of women watching the duel on it.

It is said that Yang Qing left Tang Ruowang for fifteen days.

But these fifteen days were actually the time for his daily newspaper to carry out propaganda.

Because at this time, his communication towers were built as far as Songjiang, Fengyang, Huizhou, and Jiujiang, and the transmission of this newspaper through the communication towers also set up branches in all prefectures and prefectures within this range. Basically, after the Nanjing head office newspaper goes on sale in the morning, the branches in these places will typeset and print the same newspaper for sale from the afternoon to the next morning.

For this reason, even lead movable type printing was made by Yang Qing.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty has long used movable metal type.

Whether it is lead movable type or copper movable type, the key to metal movable type is ink, the ink of Gutenberg movable type printing is lamp black and linseed oil, this thing has to use ink, but it is obvious that in his same period, the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty also solved this problem, especially copper movable type printing in Jiangsu and Zhejiang almost became the mainstream.

In addition to lead type, there are also new typography techniques.

Relying on communication towers, movable lead type, and new typography technology, Yang Qing really built his own media machine, and the most important job of this media machine during this time was to render this duel. In Daming, a great discussion of faith, a big discussion about who is the real supreme god, not only Yawei and Haotian God, but even the Buddha and other gods of faith have been picked up.

For this reason, a special issue was even published through stagecoaches, systematically sorting out the Taoist system.

After all, the Taoist system is too chaotic.

This special issue clarifies the existence of Haotian God as the supreme god, and the others, including the ancient gods, are all created by Haotian God to govern all things in the universe. And Haotian God is the will of the great universe, who created the sun, moon and stars, all things in the world, and created the laws of the universe. The Celestial Realm is another space he has carved out, dedicated to the inhabitation of the gods and the reception of mortal sages and heroes. As for the wind, frost, rain and snow, this god is not interested, the gods will not be idle and painful, and it will be windy and rainy every day......

In short, according to ancient Chinese mythology and some Taoist thoughts, a truly definite mythological system is completely constructed, and the interference of mythology on science is avoided to the greatest extent.

God and man are not in the same space.

The laws of nature in the world are scientific.

A man is not a man until he dies to theology, and he is scientific before he dies, and no one can refute this anyway.

Other religious systems are also introduced.

Of course, this introduction is very focused.

For example, Tianzhu, the birthplace of Buddhism, has long been without a single Buddha believer, and even the holy places in the Buddhist scriptures, such as the Vulture Mountain and the Wild Deer Garden, have been reduced to barren smoke and vines, and the people there don't know the Buddha or something.

There are also those unbelievable customs of the people of Tianzhu.

Especially the water of the Ganges......

Naw, the people of Jiangnan, who are accustomed to cleanliness, probably won't want to dry up this bowl of Ganges water.

Another example is the division of the Yahweh faith, as well as Europe's own religious wars, and at the same time distinguish the Yahweh of the Portuguese faith, the Yahweh of the Dutch faith, and even the Yahweh of the British faith that has just been known by the Ming people, and the Catholic Anglican Church. Of course, indulgences and the black history of the medieval church are also indispensable, such as the strange manifestations of the Black Death, especially until now, when bathing is not allowed, which is estimated to also make the people of Jiangnan jaw-dropping. There are also the Inquisition and the burning at the stake, the exaggerated bloodletting treatment, etc., in short, the authors of these special issues write that Europe is like a huge dunghill.

Walking in Paris every day, you have to be careful of the and urine that falls from the top of your head!

How could the people of the Ming Dynasty not be frightened.

Not to mention Nanjing, even on the street of a small village, who dares to pour buckets of feces and urine is estimated to cause public outrage!

Even the other two Semitic religions have it.

In particular, the relationship between the three Semitic religions, the history of the Crusades, and the history of foreign colonization of Europe, especially the bloody slaughter of the Indians, the fall of the Inca Empire, and so on.

The daily special issue was serialized in Yingtian Daily for eight issues, and it took half a month for the people of the Ming Dynasty to make up for the world history, the history of world religions and the history of foreign black history, and at the same time, it also whetted the appetite of the people of the Ming Dynasty for this duel. It is said that this is not a duel between the Marquis of Zhongyong alone, this is a duel between the religious mythological system of the Ming Dynasty and the mythological system of foreign religions, and the Marquis of Zhongyong is using his majestic body to erect a strong wall for the Ming Dynasty, a wall to block the invasion of heresy into the Ming Dynasty.

And this duel will be the first head-to-head confrontation between him and heresy.

The Marquis of Zhongyong is too great.

"Loyal and brave marquis!"

"Loyal and brave marquis!"

……

Countless excited cheers rang out outside the treasure gate.

But there are also different voices.

More than 2,000 believers from all over the world were holding aloft the cross in their cheers for John Tong, showing their resistance with valor, and several missionaries holding scriptures in their hands and leading the recitations of the scriptures among the believers. Fortunately, there are Jinyi guards next to them to isolate them, blocking the ordinary people who try to attack them, otherwise they will be trampled to death by the people who cheer for the loyal and brave marquis.

Just in the midst of all the antiquity, the duelist appeared.

Yang Qing put on a court dress.

His court clothes are not wearing a black gauze hat, he has to be Chiluo Qingyuan's court clothes, with a seven-beam crown on his head, he should have held a wat board in his hand, but this time he didn't need it. In this way, he slowly emerged from the city wall with his hands in front of his chest, and stood on the treasure gate with the sound of a tsunami of cheers outside the city, first waving his hand to the outside of the city, and then turning to the right.

At this time, John Tong had also landed in the city.

And he wasn't the only one, but Bi Francis and two other missionaries arrived, all of them in black and white-collar clergy uniforms. However, Bi Francis wore his sacrificial clothes alone, John Tong knelt in front of him, Bi Francis was holding the Bible and chanting, and the other two missionaries were holding holy water and the cross and bowing their heads silently.

Yang Qing looked at them speechlessly.

The people of the Ming Dynasty outside looked at them with the same curiosity.

The latter continued their Mass.
