402 Wish
PS: Thank you for the support of the early moon of the ancient plains!
He finally stopped asking, and just looked at Hu Guang in a daze, his eyes full of incredulity.
Kang Quanan and the other guards looked at their master, like Zhuge Liang in a book commenting on the battle group of Confucianism, with words that they didn't understand, and quickly replied, although they didn't understand, they could see from the expressions of their own master and the Westerner, the master is good, the master is very powerful, and the Westerner is stupid!
When they saw this scene, they were very proud and very comfortable. Let you, Xiyi, know the power of my Heavenly Empire, and the power of our master!
And Tang Ruowang already knew that there would be such a result, and he was helpless in his heart, with a wry smile on his face, looking at Long Huamin looking at himself for being bored.
Suddenly, Long Huamin clasped his hands into fists, learned the etiquette of the Chinese, bowed deeply to Hu Guang, and then raised his head and said earnestly: "It is not easy for us to cross the ocean and come to the far east to spread the gospel of the Lord. I hope that your men will show mercy and open the net, and all our Catholics in China will be grateful! ”
When John Tang saw it, he was immediately surprised. He didn't expect that an old stubborn like Long Huamin would ask for help in such a low profile. He even used the Chinese etiquette that he had always disdained, which was simply incredible!
You know, the last time the Nanjing case was taught, all the missionaries were either killed, or imprisoned, or rushed back to Macao. In this way, I didn't see Long Huamin change his stubborn missionary attitude. But this time, it was so low-profile, it could even be said to be begging for mercy!
In fact, it is not difficult to understand Long Huamin's low profile. At the time of the last Nanjing teaching case, there were Ming officials like Xu Guangqi running around and speaking for them. Long Huamin knew very well in his heart that the Ming Dynasty would still need them after all, and one day he would allow them to preach.
Because the Ming needed the knowledge of the natural sciences that they mastered. As long as the Ming Dynasty does not make progress in this area for a day, he will definitely think of them one day and allow them to preach again. And this was later confirmed that it was true, and Emperor Chongzhen sent an invitation to them.
But this time. He understood that Hu Guang was actually proficient and omniscient in terms of natural science knowledge. Without these trump cards, where would Long Huamin have the confidence to preach in this distant eastern empire, where are the customs and cultures completely different from their own.
If Hu Guang's understanding could not be obtained, then Long Huamin could obviously expect that Catholicism would be driven out of the largest empire in the East, and even not allowed to be allowed in the vassal states of this great empire. That's it. They came in vain. This is not a consequence that he Long Huamin can accept, or bear.
To put it mildly, at this time, as long as Hu Guang can understand, let alone learn the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty and have a low profile, it is any other request, as long as he can do it, he will agree.
John Tang was surprised by Long Huamin's attitude. He also faced Hu Guang and bowed very solemnly. Then he pleaded: "My dear friend, for my sake, please do not be angry, and do not be angry, this matter is settled, and the priest will no longer forbid us to communicate with the Ming scholars." I won't hide those books from borrowing. ”
When he said this, he turned his head to signal, which made Long Huamin suddenly realize, and hurriedly followed: "Yes, yes." That's right! ”
To be honest, looking at all this, Hu Guang also admired these two foreign devils a little, who could bend and stretch, and who could not be afraid of hardships and dangers to cross the ocean to this far east.
Seeing that the other party's attitude was so sincere, he didn't continue to pretend to be a cold-faced bodhisattva, and immediately eased his face and said to Long Huamin: "For the sake of my friend John Tang, then this matter is settled." But you have to remember that I have no objection to your mission, but come to our Chinese land, know humility, and obey our customs. Otherwise, we will not welcome you, and you will not achieve anything. ”
Long Huamin sighed deeply in his heart, today he threw his self-esteem at the feet of others, and was trampled on by others. However, on the surface, he still had to pretend to be taught, nodded again and again, and echoed: "Yes, understood, good!" ”
And Tang Ruowang listened to Hu Guang say this on the side, he did not have such a strong sense of failure as Long Huamin, but had a trace of joy. Because Hu Guang said it, it was for his sake that he was Hu Guang's friend.
In order to prevent further complications, he immediately interjected and said to Hu Guang: "Why don't we go and visit those books first?" Those books were shipped thousands of miles to Daming, in fact, they are also a piece of our heart, and we really want to make friends with Daming. ”
He knew that Hu Guang was worried about these books, and Hu Guang's anger before was also caused by these books.
Long Huamin listened to it on the side, and quickly nodded, welcoming Hu Guang to visit. At this time, his only request was to appease Hu Guang's anger, dispel his idea of opening a museum to teach apprentices, and leave them some capital for missionary work.
Hu Guang saw it and was overjoyed. But on the surface, he was still unfazed, as if since you mentioned this matter, then I would reluctantly make it difficult, and after Tang Ruowang took the key from Long Huamin, he went to the basement head-on.
Watching Hu Guang and the others disappear around the corner, Long Huamin couldn't help but sigh deeply. He knew in his heart that there were absolutely very few people like Hu Guang in Daming. But there is such a one, but he can use the cause of God.
Standing in a daze for a moment, he was a little depressed, and slowly walked out of the church and returned to his quarters. lest I see Hu Guang come out later, and I have to hurt my self-esteem again.
When Hu Guang saw that the basement was full of all kinds of hardcover books, he was still shocked. These things, which can be said to be the achievements of current Western civilization, encompass all aspects.
At this time, he couldn't wait to move all the books to the base area. No matter what, Hu Guang still knows in his heart that it is impossible for him to write down all the basic knowledge silently, he can only be led by others, so that he can remember the knowledge of later generations and talk about it, which is why he frightened Long Huamin. If you really want to write from nothing, you really can't write it.
It is impossible for Hu Guang to move everything here, even if he moves a car, it is too conspicuous. But before he came to church this morning, he had already thought about what books he was going to take.
I saw him pretend to look east and west, rummag through the east and west, and finally took some books as if at random, and then said to Tang Ruowang: "I'm going to go around in two days and have a good time, so I borrow these books and flip through them on the road, I don't know if it's okay?" ”
When Tang Ruowang heard that he was leaving Jingshi, he was immediately overjoyed, and there was a reason not to agree, so he immediately nodded and agreed. He didn't even register these books, just begging Hu Guang to leave early. (To be continued.) )
