Wang Yan didn't expect that he would lead a large army to come, which made the Francophone very frightened, and he immediately sent someone to release the tax and silver.

Although there were not many silver taels, the attitude of the Francophone still made him very satisfied, so he happily met with Bai Yingli.

Wang Yan saw that he was dressed in Confucian clothes, wearing a square scarf, and speaking some obscure Chinese in his mouth, and his heart couldn't help but move, "Manyi wants to destroy my clothes, but Xiyi admires my culture." ”

At that time, the Western countries, for China's perception, is still a mysterious and rich country, until another period of history, the British Yi envoy to the Qing Dynasty, see the canal on both sides, dilapidated, the people are depressed, only to think that China is not **** at all, and at this time China is not like the late Qing Dynasty, by the Western countries in turn bullying, but the Netherlands provoked several times, but was defeated by the Ming Dynasty in Liuluo Bay.

After Ricci entered China, he also praised Chinese civilization very much, he said, "In addition to the fact that there is no bath here, our sacred Catholic faith, the greatness of China is unparalleled in the world, China is not only a kingdom, China is actually a world." Plato's ideals, as a theoretical narrative in the Republic, have been put into practice in China. ”

Although most of his words were intended to facilitate his missionary work in China, he also criticized, "China boasts of its country as the whole world, and calls it the whole world, and it claims and believes that China's territory encompasses the whole world." But it cannot be denied that at that time, in the eyes of Xiyi, China was still a great existence.

The literati of the Ming Dynasty, although they were poisoned by the eight strands, were still active ideologically, and did not reject Western learning, but they were very quickly, although they were already somewhat backward in science, but the gap was not large, and in the blending, they were making their own changes.

Bai Yingli in front of him obviously aroused Wang Yan's interest, he talked with him, and found that he knew astronomy and geography, agriculture and water conservancy, and even knew everything about cannon building, and his heart was amazed.

Wang Yan is the Duke of the Ming Dynasty, Bai Yingli naturally behaved well in front of him, the ancestors of the Jesuit Society knew that the Ming people did not like their religion very much, but they were very interested in their science, so he did what he liked, which naturally made Wang Yan, a traditional Confucian scholar, feel surprised.

In the Governor's Palace of Macau, Yi Susha's heart was full of melancholy, there were less than 1,000 Francos in Macau, but the Ming Dynasty came with an army of 5,000, and with the gradual learning of the West, the Ming Dynasty's firearms did not lag behind the West, in addition to the lack of manufacturing technology and quality, the quantity and variety were far beyond the West.

Isesha, the inexperienced governor, had already frightened himself after a comparison in his mind, and he even thought about packing up and getting ready to go to sea at any time, but fortunately, Bai Yingli brought him good news.

"Your Excellency the Governor, you need not worry about war any more, but Your Excellency the Duke, who has come with good intentions to purchase a consignment of artillery from Portugal to deal with the pirates that are rampant at sea, and as a faithful believer in the Lord, I hope that Your Excellency the Governor will accept this deal, for it will be useful for the Jesuit mission in China. Yes, I am glad to share with you that the noble Duke has had a great conversation with me, and he has pledged his support for the Jesuit mission under his rule. Bai Yingli's eyebrows fluttered: "Oh~ I think God must have heard my prayer and arranged for the noble Duke to help me complete the great missionary cause when the cause of the Society of Jesus suffered a setback." ”

"Oh God!" When Yi Susha heard this, he couldn't help but draw a cross on his chest, he didn't care about the priest's missionary career, he only knew that there would be no war, Macao was peaceful, but he didn't pay much attention to the purchase of guns.

Seeing this, he had to remind again: "Your Excellency, although I am not Portuguese, for God's sake, I must kindly remind you that the noble Duke is an opportunity for the Jesuits, and it is also an opportunity for Portugal. ”

"Oh?" The old governor Schroeber left suddenly, Essusa, the temporarily appointed governor, was really incompetent, and Portugal was in a precarious situation in the Far East, "What does the priest mean, the duke has just frightened me, and still wants me to serve him wholeheartedly?" I can, but I have to kill him hard to compensate for his fright. ”

"Your Excellency the Governor, you must not harm the interests of Portugal for the sake of yourself." "The Dutch are getting stronger and stronger at sea, Portugal has little trade left, and the colonies have been divided. It was no longer possible for Portugal to defeat the Dutch on its own, and in the long run, the trade between the West and China would be monopolized by the Dutch, and Portugal would lose all its interests in the Far East. If the Duke of the Ming Dynasty wants the Governor to have enough cannons, what a good opportunity it is, if the Governor can reach an alliance with the Duke of the Ming Dynasty to fight against the Dutch together, then no one will be able to shake the trade between Portugal and China. And because of the wealth brought by trade, the governor could gain the favor of the king. ”

Listening to Bai Yingli's words, Isusa couldn't help but be stunned, and after a while, he couldn't help but think of the Dutch's attack on Macao, and his heart was shocked, "Thank God, thank you, thank you, you are the messenger of God, you have awakened the ignorant believers." Just ask the priest to give me a hint on how to convince the Duke of the Ming Dynasty to accept the Portuguese rush and not the Netherlands? ”

"The Governor need not worry about that." Bai Yingli had to say again: "The Dutch are too strong at sea, they have offended the Ming Dynasty several times, they are too arrogant, and even occupy Taiwan, it is impossible for the Ming to cooperate with the Dutch, and the respected Duke of the Ming Dynasty is looking for allies at sea, as long as the Governor supports it a little, no one will be able to snatch the trade with Guangdong in the future." ”

After listening to this, Isusa said, "The priest is really the closest person to God, thank you for your guidance, I think now, I should prepare to meet the honorable Duke of Daming." ”

Seeing that Ixusa finally understood, Bai Yingli nodded with satisfaction.

He said all this, but not for Portugal. He was Belgian, but now he belonged to Spain, but soon he would belong to the Netherlands again, but none of that mattered because he belonged to God.

The reason why he said so much to Izusa was naturally to establish a relationship with Wang Yan and facilitate the development of the Jesuits in Guangdong, but in addition, because the Netherlands supported Protestantism, and Portugal supported Catholicism under the Spanish rule.

Protestantism and Catholicism had been at war on the continent for nearly thirty years, and Spain had gradually fallen apart in recent times, so the Jesuits were absolutely unwilling to see that the Netherlands, which supported Protestantism, was too powerful in the Far East.
