Chapter 340: The Society of Jesus
"My dear brother, your sins are known to God, and so are your pious God. What is your name? ”
Sun Yuan stood up, stretched out his hand to wipe his eyes, and said, "Father, my name is Sun Yuan, and I am an officer of the Thousand Households of the Thousand Households of Sining Township, the commander of the Daming Dahe Guard
。 ”
As for the origin of John Tang, he has long known it clearly in the history books. He was an Italian Jesuit missionary, a Catholic Jesuit monk, priest, and scholar, and lived in China for 47 years. It has gone through two dynasties of the Ming and Qing dynasties. During the reign of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, he was named the supervisor of Qintian, and during the Kangxi period, he was named "Guanglu Doctor", and the official was a first-class official.
A first-class master, in the eyes of ordinary people, is simply a great person.
But if it is said that he crossed the ocean and traveled half the world to the Ming Dynasty, he was an official, is it possible?
In fact, the so-called Society of Jesus is a fresh force for reform in Catholicism. The aim of the Society of Jesus was to reform the Church from within, and at the same time the members of the Order wanted to gain a position closer to Jesus.
Probably because of the persecution from different quarters for a long time, the Jesuits imitated the formation of the army, which was well-organized, disciplined, and very centralized.
The major monotheistic religions of the West have never been short of religious lunatics and fanatics, especially in the seventeenth century.
Although John Tong has a good reputation in history, he must have come to the East to spread the teachings of Jesus. Moreover, the Western missionaries of this era had a strong sense of mission.
Sun Yuan felt that if he wanted Tang Ruowang to join the Ningxiang Army, he could only start from the aspect of religion. As for others, such as material conditions, official positions, etc., people will not pay attention to them!
How can a world-class scientist, or even a first-class surgeon, stand alive in front of him. In any case, Sun Yuan wanted to give it a try.
"Dear Brother Sun Yuan, you say slow down, your titles are too many, and I can't figure it out for a while. Who are you? The priest looked confused.
When Sun Yuan heard this, he was also stunned, this Tang Ruowang didn't come to the Ming Dynasty for a day or two, and he went in and out of the palace all day long, why didn't he even know the official position and title system of the Ming Dynasty?
This man...... Is it John Tong?
Suddenly, he had some doubts in his mind.
Seeing that the priest was full of confusion, Sun Yuan replied angrily: "My name is Sun Yuan, let's put it this way, I am also a person with a knighthood, which is equivalent to your European sir." It has jurisdiction over 2,000 troops, a population of more than 20,000, and a territory of about 500 square kilometers
。 I have believed in Christ since I was a child, and when I saw the priest this time, I found an organization. Since I'm not from Beijing, I naturally want to go back to the territory when I stay here. I have an uninvited invitation, and I want to ask the priest to come back to Jiangnan with me, so that I can worship at any time. ”
The so-called sir means lord in English.
"What, more than 20,000 people, my God, this is already considered a grand duke in Europe." The priest called out, and was pleasantly surprised when he heard Sun Yuan say that he also believed in God and wanted to invite him to go with him to Jiangnan to preach. If the principality of more than 20,000 people believes in God, isn't it a heavenly kingdom on earth: "Brother Sun Yuan, your piety is touching, when will you leave the capital?" ”
He was simply.
Sun Yuan: "This is not good, Father John Tang, after all, I still have official business, and I can't go home until I finish my mission." Looking at the fanaticism on Tang Ruowang's face, Sun Yuan naturally knew what he was thinking in his heart. It is nothing more than wanting to use his own momentum to preach in the Ningxiang Army.
In his previous life, Sun Yuan was an out-and-out atheist, and he had an attitude of not caring about things like gods and ghosts. Not convinced, but also not denied. But now even this kind of thing has been encountered, and the belief in atheism has been shaken. However, as an Oriental, even if he has faith, he quietly believes in Buddhism and Taoism. As for the monotheistic religion of the West, he is still extremely vigilant in his heart. He also does not want to see his subordinates become religious lunatics.
Regarding John Tang's desire to preach in his army, Sun Yuan had already figured it out: it must be strictly forbidden.
"Father John Tong, I'm not." The priest said, "Father John Tang is now in the palace of your Ming Emperor and can't come out, my name is Louie?" Garcia, my brother Sun Yuan. ”
"Ah, you're not Father John Tong?" Sun Yuan was taken aback, and said in his heart: It turned out that I made a mistake, and I wasted so much work in vain, bad luck, bad luck! Thinking that Shaowei didn't know Tang Ruowang before, when he saw someone in the church, he ran back to the barracks to report in a hurry, causing Sun Yuanbai to run away.
After spending so much saliva and thought, it turned out that he ran into a Xibei goods, which was really unlucky, and Sun Yuan immediately wanted to turn around and leave. But as soon as his footsteps moved, another thought rose in Sun Yuan's heart: Even if he is not Tang Ruowang, he is also a good surgeon, and he is the scarce talent that my Ningxiang Army urgently needs. Anyway, it's already here, so it's better to get him back, and it can be used to offset some carriage and horse fares.
Hello doctor, doctor!
In these years, there are many people who know how to cast cannons and make cannons, and artillery commanders can slowly find them in the future. But a good surgeon, and a Western doctor, can be counted on one hand in the entire Far East
。 In a sense, it is much more precious than John Tong.
To put it mildly, although there is a set of extremely clever theories in Chinese medicine, it is especially good at treating incurable diseases. But it doesn't seem to be very good for emergencies and trauma. If you can bring this priest named Garcia with you, you will be able to protect your life in the future. In ancient times, when there was a shortage of doctors and medicines, it was not good to say that one appendicitis could kill oneself. When encountering this kind of acute illness, just drinking Chinese medicine is too slow.
"What's the matter, my Brother Sun Yuan, what are you looking for Father Tang?"
Sun Yuan grabbed Garcia: "It's you, I'll look for you." "There was a sparkle in my eyes.
"What are you looking for me to do?" Louis? Garcia was taken aback by Sun Yuan's eager gaze.
"Are you interested in going to Jiangnan, I will build a family temple for you and let you spread the gospel of God." Sun Yuan Zhengse said: "Not only that, I can also provide you with a certain amount of funds, but you also have to make some small contributions for me." ”
"Brother Sun Yuan...... What little ...... am I going to have for you? Contribute? Garcia felt that his head was running out of steam.
Sun Yuan: "Father, there is a secluded place in the church, let's have a good talk." ”
"Brother Sun Yuan, let's go to the confession room!"
"No, go to your room, let's talk face to face, face to face."
"Frank is relative...... Brother Sun Yuan, don't! "Louie? Garcia's Chinese language skills are not high, and he will immediately be mistaken. Unlike Latin in Europe, Chinese requires word by word learning, unlike other European languages that are composed of words.
In Chinese, each word has several meanings, and the meaning is different in different occasions.
Tan, that is, dew; Present, that is, to present, so that the other party can see clearly. 、
exposed his body to let the other party see, what did the Sun Yuan brothers have to do...... Oh my God, this is going to Hell!
However, it is still possible to make the necessary sacrifices in order to spread the gospel of God.
But to do that, right?
