After the matter was discussed, Garcia thought that he had received an invitation similar to that of a small European duchy to preach in his territory, and when he thought that Sun Yuan had more than 20,000 people under him, he was so excited that he couldn't help but ask: "Brother Sun Yuan, when will I be able to go to your territory, and when will you help me build a church?" ”

Sun Yuan: "Father, don't worry, didn't I say earlier that I still have official business and want to stay in Beijing for a while?" When the time comes, let's go to Jiangnan together

。 ”

"That'...... Otherwise, I'll move to your barracks first. Garcia can't wait to start the great mission in a hurry.

Sun Yuan was taken aback: "Father, you don't have to worry, this is the capital, and our emperor is afraid that he doesn't want to see your Jesuit priests running into the army." ”

At this point, he remembered that he had come here to find John. Although he had been paid back the ticket price by a clever surgeon, he couldn't help but ask casually: "Father, when will Father John Tong be able to return to church?" ”

"My Brother Sun Yuan, what are you looking for Father Tang?" Garcia was puzzled, if it was enough to be able to spread the gospel of God in Ningxiang.

Seeing Garcia's doubts, Sun Yuan didn't know what he was thinking. Immediately made a look of pain: "The priest probably already knew just now, and I still have an army of 2,000 people on hand. In the past two years, they have been fighting non-stop wars, fighting with the peasant army and with the people of Jianzhou. But my forces are too weak, and after several successive battles, the troops have suffered great losses. That's because, our army lacks artillery. I heard that Father John Tong knew how to make cannons, so I wanted him to help me train the army and teach my craftsmen how to cast cannons. ”

When Sun Yuan said this, his face was full of grief and anger: "I, Sun Yuan, am a devout Jesus, and the peasant army are all unbelievers without any faith, and as for Jiannu, they believe in shamans, and these heretics are all enemies of our Jesus religion. If they were allowed to occupy the Far East and promote their beliefs, I can't imagine what the world would become. ”

"My God, how can man not have faith!" Garcia screamed, his face full of incredulity, he drew a few crosses in a row, gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, these fierce heretics must be killed." Forgiving them is God's thing, and all we need to do is move them to God. ”

"Yes, yes, the priest is right, all we need to do is send them to God." Sun Yuan casually agreed: "Then, Father, do you persuade Father John Tang to help me train the personnel and cast a few cannons?" ”

Garcia shook his head suddenly: "This thing can't be. ”

"Why is it impossible?"

Garcia was a little frustrated: "It is the arrangement of our Jesuit president to take your Ming Emperor out of God's arms, and now the Ming Emperor has appointed Father Tang Ruowang as his official, and ordered him to help you cast cannons in the Ming Dynasty, and I want to come to Father Tang Ruowang not to return to your Ningxiang Army."

。 In fact, after Father John Tong naturally entered the gun factory, he had not returned to church for a month. As for when he will return, no one can say. ”

Sun Yuan also sighed, a little sullen in his heart.

Garcia comforted Sun Yuanlai: "My brother Sun Yuan, when it comes to casting cannons, although Father John Tong knows the methods, how to operate the cannons, and artillery tactics, he is indeed not as good as the soldiers in our European armies. After all, he is not a professional fighter. Instead of asking for Father John Tong, it is better to hire a few mercenaries. ”

Sun Yuan smiled bitterly: "The truth is this, but as far as I know, in the Far East today, Europeans seem to stay in the trench mirror, thousands of miles away from Beijing, and where can they be invited for a while?" ”

Garcia: "Brother Sun Yuan, if you really want to hire a few mercenaries who know how to cast cannons, it's not that difficult. ”

"Is it possible to find European mercenaries in Beijing, or artillery who know how to use artillery?" Sun Yuanhuo straightened up: "I wish to hear it!" ”

Garcia nodded and said with a smile: "My brother Sun Yuan, we Europeans are all firm believers. Despite belonging to different denominations, there are often wars between sects and sects. But it is the only church in the whole of Beijing, and every Sunday, all Europeans in Beijing come to worship. Of course, there are not many Europeans in Beijing. ”

"A few days ago, there was a man named Wolf? Wolfgang's Prussians and a Portuguese named Pablo often came to church for Mass. ”

Sun Yuan: "These two are mercenaries?" ”

"Not all mercenaries." Garcia: "Pablo is a mercenary who ventures all over the world for money, and somehow runs to the Far East. Listen to him, he used to work in the Portuguese Army and was an artilleryman

。 Later, he became a mercenary, still a gunner; As for Wolfe, he had some origins, he was a declining nobleman, had the title of viscount, and set up an arsenal at home, and made guns and cannons for the Prussian soldiers. God knows, we are at war in Europe, we have been fighting for more than ten years, and we don't know when it will end. Sir Wolf felt that this was a good opportunity to make a fortune. However, he couldn't do business, and after less than two years, he went bankrupt. Viscount Wolf also had a daughter in his family. Brother Sun Yuan, you probably don't know that we in Europe need to attach a large dowry to marry a daughter, especially a marriage between nobles. ”

Sun Yuan's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered that now was the most lively time for the Thirty Years' War in Europe.

Garcia: "Sir Wolf had no choice but to borrow money from the bank, buy goods, and venture to the East. In desperation, the ship ran aground in the Indian Ocean and capsized. It can only be followed by a merchant ship to Daming. ”

Sun Yuan asked curiously, "Then why did they come to Beijing?" "You must know that the Ming Dynasty implemented a policy of closing the country to the outside world, and only opened a few ports in the south.

Garcia smiled bitterly: "God forbid, Sir Wolf and Pablo heard that the Ming Emperor and the barbarians in the northeast were fighting, so they wanted to come over and join your Ming Dynasty army and continue to be mercenaries." Outcome...... Before it was time to partake of communion, the two men came earlier and ate more than anyone else. ”

Sun Yuan couldn't help laughing, these two people are really naïve, it's really because the Ming Dynasty is medieval Europe, and hundreds of knights can fight a general battle.

Hearing the origin of these two people made him extremely excited, Wolf is the commander of the European artillery, Pablo is the gunner, these are the talents he urgently needs!

And, listening to Garcia's words, these two fellows have been exiled to Peking, and they have reached the point where they are about to starve to death, and they are about to be hired for my use.

Europeans, Dutama is the master of money, as long as they see real money, they will immediately follow you.

This time, although he didn't see John Tong, he got a qualified surgeon, and he was able to hire a qualified artillery commander and an artillery maker, but the harvest was huge.

Sun Yuan immediately asked, "Father, when will I be able to see them?" ”

"My brother Sun Yuan, there are five days left until next Sunday."

Sun Yuan: "I can't wait, tomorrow, tomorrow I will go with the priest to find them." ”
