86_86695 "My first meeting with His Majesty the Great Emperor was a very bad experience. At that time, the Great Emperor Xià had not yet ascended the throne of the King of God, he was only a local lord. He held a territory larger than most of Europe's top nobles. He had under his command more than 3,000 soldiers, arguably the most powerful in Asia at the time. ”

"Unlike most of the gentlemen of the Ming Empire that I have seen, His Majesty the Great Emperor at that time almost ignored my cunning. In his conversations with the officers who arrested me, I understood two frightening words, 'interrogation' and 'death'. After that, I had a hellish experience. “

-- "Chronicles of Great China", by Zeng Dezhao

Decades later, Gu Guozhang, a general of the Chinese Empire who had served as the governor of South China (Australia), once said, "I have nothing to fear except His Majesty and the political judges." "You must know that Gu Guozhang, who said this, was the marquis of the Chinese Empire at that time, and he was a feudal official who ruled more than 10 million people in Oceania. He once slaughtered nearly 10 million natives of Nanyang without humanity. The Spanish colonizers and civilians of the Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, and English colonizers in Asia died out in the long river of history at his hands.

As the predecessor of the Political Censorship Committee, the Police Interrogation Center under the People's Committee and the Political Censorship Office of the Fuxing Security Corps can make up their own minds about what the interrogation of the Portuguese missionary Zeng Dezhao will be. Anyway, after going through more than a dozen methods of interrogation without trauma, Zeng Dezhao thought that God had abandoned him. After receiving eight more methods of interrogation, Zeng Dezhao hoped to be redeemed by the devil.

Li Erniu, director of the police center, participated in the entire interrogation of Zeng Dezhao. After the founding of the Chinese Empire, Li Erniu, who had been the head of the Imperial Political Censorship Committee, once wrote in his summary of his work, "If the censorship resistance of the censors is ranked, foreign missionaries can be ranked first in this list." Then came the Ming scholars, and then the traitorous intellectuals and traitorous merchants who surrendered to the Manchus. As for the ordinary Manchu soldiers and Ming soldiers, they were completely incapable of resisting censorship. Of course, foreign businessmen and crew members are also more difficult to vet. However, the difficulty of reviewing them is mainly focused on the language barrier. In my work, I have gradually discovered that people of faith are relatively resistant to censorship. ”

Zeng Dezhao has seen China's prisons. During the Nanjing Case, he and some other missionaries who were arrested in the Nanjing Case, briefly spent time in the Nanjing prison. At that time, the Portuguese missionary Ovaro Semerdo, whose name was still Xie Wulu, was in a panic. Although he believed that the Chinese were a civilized people, whether in his native Portugal or in other European countries at the time, the conditions in prison were quite horrific. However, his experience in Ming Dynasty prison was very short-lived, and after a few days of detention without any punishment, he and other arrested missionaries were deported and returned to Macau, a Portuguese settlement in Chinese.

However, after Tsang was dragged into the dungeon of the Police Interrogation Center like a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered, he found that the situation in the dungeon was different from what he had imagined. Neither the soldiers escorting him, nor the interrogators in the dungeon, treated him roughly. Not only is the environment of the dungeon very clean and tidy, but even the jailers are quite different. It is different from those jailers in Nanjing Prison who have obscene faces and gloomy images. The interrogators here are well-dressed and have calm faces. Even the most basic pushes and scoldings he did not suffer.

This situation gradually calmed down the excited Portuguese missionary Ovaro Semedo. By the time he was ushered into a small room with only a table and a few chairs and questioned him, he was able to calm down and explain his identity as a missionary to the censors in fluent Nankingese Mandarin and begin to proclaim "the glory of God" to them.

However, after receiving basic questioning and entering the formal interrogation process, Ovalo Semedo discovered that there was a more desperate form of torture than physical harm. The joint interrogation team, consisting of the Police Interrogation Center and the Political Examination Office of the Fuxing Security Corps, began to give the foreigner a trick in accordance with the provisions of the Interrogation Procedure Manual.

Speaking of which, Ovaro Semedo, aka Xie Wulu, and aka Zeng Dezhao brought a lot of surprises to the staff of the joint interrogation team during the trial. Both the Police Force and the Reconstruction Security Corps Political Censorship Department have been conducting a lot of interrogation work recently.

Wang Shuhui set up an intelligence committee in the People's Committee. Not long ago, the internal affairs police (hereinafter referred to as the political security police), which is subordinate to the Intelligence Committee and is responsible for the protection of the government, carried out an all-round arrest of all spies and suspicious persons who spied on Wangfu Town and Wang Shuhui's forces. The interrogators of the Police Force and the Reconstruction Security Corps have accumulated a wealth of experience in the interrogation of these persons. Still, Ovaro Semedo was the one who endured the most interrogation methods of all the people they had tried. After he underwent nearly twenty kinds of interrogations, he confessed everything he knew.

Zeng Dezhao, a Portuguese, was one of the Jesuit missionaries in China. Before the Nanjing teaching case broke out, he used the Chinese name Xie Wulu as his first name. In the 41st year of Wanli, in 1613, he was assigned by the Catholic Church to carry out missionary work in Nanjing.

Because of the death of Matteo Ricci, the former top person in charge of missionary work in China, the Nanjing Jesuit missionary group, after Matteo Ricci's death, began to change Matteo Ricci's missionary strategy of "combining Confucianism and surpassing Confucianism" in cultivating missionaries to read Chinese classics and win the favor and trust of Chinese literati and doctors, so as to achieve his goal of spreading the faith. Instead, he adopted a radical method of preaching, resolutely rejected Confucianism, and strictly forbade Chinese parishioners to worship heaven, ancestors, and Confucius, which aroused the disgust and suspicion of people in society, and led to the "Nanjing Teaching Case."

As one of the Jesuit missionaries, Xie Wulu did not leave China. Using his new Chinese name, Zeng Dezhao, he disguised his identity and began traveling across China. His main purpose was twofold: to continue his missionary work and to promote the so-called "glory of God". On the other hand, it was for the Spanish colonizers to collect intelligence information on various aspects of China.

In the course of his activities in the Gangnam area, he discovered that a newly established machinery company was selling a new advanced machine called "Zhenqi Machine" to various workshops in the Gangnam area. At the same time, he also discovered the steam propeller ship produced by Wang Shuhui's newly established Jiangbei Shipyard moored at the wharf of Zhenjiangfu in Nanzhili.

Zeng Dezhao, who is very sensitive to mechanical technology, immediately felt that the new power machinery was a very important piece of information. After that, he instructed the local believers to inquire about the news and learned that both steam looms and steam ships were produced in Zhijiang County. Zeng Dezhao, who learned the information, immediately set off and went to Zhijiang County, hoping to collect relevant detailed information. Finally, in the process of intelligence gathering, he was captured by the soldiers on duty in Wangfu Town.

In Wang Shuhui's view, the missionary is actually a kind of Westerners' sense of civilizational superiority, or in other words, the idea of Westerners' civilizational superiority is at work. To put it bluntly, missionaries are a kind of contempt that Westerners have for other races and human beings in their bones. You are a barbarian, your country is a barbarian country, and your civilization is a barbarian civilization, so we, the white-skinned pigs, as civilized people, as a civilized country, as an advanced civilization, need to let these missionaries spread civilized Christianity and teach you barbarian barbarian countries advanced civilization and systems.

The white-skinned pigs really eat a hundred beans without being fishy. From the colonial era to the modern world, the superiority and self-righteousness of Westerners remained unchanged. At every turn, he talks about how other countries are, and at every turn he accuses other countries of how he is, and he doesn't pay any attention to Yoneda, who can't wipe his pants clean. In their own country, there are marches, strikes, and racial discrimination at every turn, and they themselves seem to be blind and cannot see.

In Wang Shuhui's view, when the Manchus ruled China, it was understandable for the Western white-skinned pigs to say that "China is barbarizing" and to get some missionaries who were pathfinders for the colonial invaders to propagate foreign religions, cultures, and ideas in China. After all, China during the Qing Dynasty was indeed mired in the regression of barbaric civilization. However, when he started to do that in the Ming Dynasty, Wang Shuhui didn't think much about it.

You must know that in this era in Western countries, especially in European countries, the most stupid and ignorant Middle Ages in the history of mankind has just ended. The whiteskins of Europe have just picked up the things of their ancestors and re-learned. The Renaissance in the Western world is not over, and the Reformation and Enlightenment have not yet seen a shadow of it. It had been less than twenty years since Bruno was burned alive by the Inquisition.

The barbarian fur of the white-skinned people in Europe has not yet faded, and they still regard bathing as a matter of disease and death, and as medical common sense, perfume as a means of blocking the stench on their bodies, and high heels as a means of hiding from the sewage of Yoneda Republic, which is ubiquitous in the city. These white-skinned pigs still regard the Chinese nation, which has a high-level civilization, as a barbarian.

They actually sent a group of people who were also foul-smelling and used bloodletting as the only medical treatment (Western medicine has used bloodletting as a medical method for 2,000 years). The founding president of the United States, Washington, died of bloodletting. On December 13 and 14, 1799, several doctors released nearly 2,500 milliliters of blood, or half of the body's blood volume, to Washington, who died of hemorrhagic shock. It can be said that Washington, the founder of the United States, died of his own stupidity and that of his doctors, commonly known as "stupid and dead". The world's most authoritative medical journal, the British "Lancet" medical journal in the Lancet, refers to the bloodletting knife for Western medicine) missionaries, came to China to spread the dawn of civilization.

Wang Shuhui was not a scholar of the Ming Dynasty. When they saw that the missionaries spoke Chinese, wore Chinese clothes, and read Confucian classics, they thought that they were foreign barbarians who admired Chinese civilization and were oriented to education.

Wang Shuhui clearly knew that these missionaries were discriminatory and hostile to Chinese civilization in their bones. From the end of the Ming Dynasty to the hundreds of years in modern society, the attitude of these Western invaders towards China and the Chinese nation has never changed. They have always discriminated against and hostile to the Chinese nation and civilization.

The Jesuit missionary Cruz, in the chapter "The Punishment of the Chinese by God in 1556" in his book "Chronicles of China", mentions the magnitude 8 (or 9) super earthquake that occurred in Shaanxi in the 35th year of Jiajing (1556). From the name of the article alone, it can be seen that no matter how much these Western missionaries envied the wealth and prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, they were hostile and jealous of China in their bones. The Chinese have always been pagans and barbarians in their eyes. That's why they say that the natural and man-made disasters that happened in China and gloating about them are God's punishment
