Chapter 216 - Revisiting the Rakshasa
*
*
Seeing that the emperor didn't speak, Xiao Xuanye couldn't care less about holding a bowl of warm human milk, so he suddenly jumped down from the palace bench and shouted proudly, starting from Yaksa, from east to west, one by one to take back the Rakshasa fortresses scattered among the vast wasteland, vast forests, and many lakes and intersecting water systems! That momentum is like a ferocious fighting!
But the few people who remain now are used to it. Everyone just remained silent, waiting for the silent emperor to judge.
Hongyi had already made up his mind at this time - since the Russian old Maozi was able to annex almost the entire Far East and Siberia in just one Jiazi and sixty years, I Hongyi Weishenme can't use my own Jiazi and sixty-one years of reign to send you back to your European hometown? What's more, if the fighting spirit of the emperor of Shunzhi for the twelfth year of Fulin is mobilized, then the time will be more abundant and abundant! Moreover, in the past 60 years, the Rakshasa "Far East Supply Lines" that have been in a series have begun to take shape, and the "take-it-or-leave-it" doctrine is very useful, which in turn will become a powerful springboard for the Chinese Empire to stir up the situation in Europe in the future!
"Hmmm! What Xuan Ye said is reasonable! Fulin finally raised his head, firmly praised his youngest son, and continued:
"Don't you know, Tomafa, before today's Imperial Meeting, I and a few of them were here to discuss the great strategy of advancing north and capturing Yaxa."
Fulin really respected John Tang very much, and personally did the explanation work.
"Your Majesty! According to the old minister, the Rakshasa bandits came thousands of miles to my Qing Dynasty to rob the house. In order to open up the trade land route between Europa and China, so as to compete with the current Western maritime hegemon such as the Netherlands and Franco, and earn huge profits. But in his country, the people are barbaric and do not know the number of etiquette, and the nobles are vulgar and untrustworthy, even in the ancestral hometown of the old minister, the minister's parents, relatives and friends, and even the princes and nobles of various families are quite dissatisfied with the barbarism of the Rakshasas, and disdain and sneer at their country. β
John Tang seized the opportunity and hurriedly waved his flag for his maritime "financiers" Spain, Portugal and other countries. Detractors of Russia. But this is not really "slander and slander". On the contrary, there is something to be realistic. Although Russia was flourishing at that time, in the eyes of traditional European countries, it was still a barbarian country and did not admire civilization. Moreover, John Tong, who was born in an aristocratic family in Cologne, Germany. It is true that there is also a deep prejudice against the bloody eastward advance of the Russians.
John Thomp's original name was "John. Adam. Sal. Feng. Johann Adam Schallvon Bell. in Germany. Anything called "what's what. von". But they are all of aristocratic blood. Old man Tang was born on May 1, 1592 [the twentieth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty] in Cologne am Rhine, Germany. Feng. The noble house of Bair. The Shahr family is an ancient and famous family in the city of Cologne, and the whole family is a devout Catholic. In European history, in 1534, the Spanish nobleman Loyola founded the "Society of Jesus". Help the Church of Rome to implement its own reforms from the top down in the Counter-Reformation, to revitalize Catholicism, and to re-establish the absolute authority of the pope. The Society of Jesus became the largest religious community in Shili among the Catholic orders.
As a teenager, John Tong studied at the famous "Three Crowns Middle School" founded by the Jesuit Society. This school attaches great importance to the quality education of students, and regards the cultivation of students' pious and kind life ethics as its main goal. The smart and studious John Tang has excellent academic performance. In 1607 [in the thirty-fifth year of Wanli of the Ming Dynasty, that is, in this year, the Italian physicist Galileo Galilei used the velocity formula to measure the speed of light for the first time, but unfortunately failed. But at that time in China, the vast majority of people still didn't know what kind of substance light was! The plague was prevalent in the city of Cologne, and the Three Kings High School was forced to close. At the age of 16, John Tong was recommended by the local Jesuit diocese to study at the German Academy in Rome.
In the past three years, he has completed all courses such as philosophy, classical literature, mathematics, science and astronomy with excellent grades, especially in mathematics and astronomy, showing that he has great potential and talent. It was here that he first came into contact with Galileo's telescope and became intrigued by it. In October 1611, John Tong joined the Society of Jesus and swore an oath of poverty, chastity, and obedience for the rest of his life. Subsequently, moved to Rome to St. Jesus. Andreo Monastery, as a trainee monk, undergoing rigorous friarly training. He also joined the Inspiration Institute to explore new and evolving sciences, especially astronomy and mathematics.
John Tong often went to the library to look through these materials. He was thrilled by the accomplishments of the early missionaries in the East in China. He admired Matteo Ricci's missionary strategy in China, which was adapted to Chinese culture and customs, and the so-called "Confucianism" that he tried to integrate Catholic teachings with Chinese Confucian culture. When he heard that Father Matteo Ricci, with his mathematical astronomical wisdom, had astonished the Chinese and received the emperor's favor and respect, opening up a new and very large field of faith for the Church of God, he was overjoyed that Western mathematical astronomy had gained such value in China.
After the completion of his two-year apprenticeship, in October 1613 he entered the Academy of Rome. Four years of theological and mathematical studies began. Founded in 1551 by Loyola, the College of Rome is a "seminary of the spirit of Christ", and its curriculum includes mathematics, astronomy, geography, mechanical mechanics, chemistry and other subjects in addition to religious content. Galileo Galilei also served as a faculty member at the Academy, and he once displayed his modified telescope in the lecture hall of the Academy, which was warmly welcomed and admired. John Tong listened to his lecture and became interested in Galileo's teachings.
In 1617, he completed his studies at the Academy of Rome summa laude and was promoted to priesthood. On April 16, 1618, under the leadership of Jinnige, 22 missionaries, including John Tang, Deng Yuhan, and Luo Yagu, set sail from Lisbon to the east in the name of the Portuguese government.
In other words, the reason why John Tang was able to achieve good results in the Shunzhi Dynasty was inseparable from his profound and solid knowledge and attainments in "various subjects of arts and sciences", and naturally he had his profound and correct insight and analysis into why the Rakshasa came to the east!
"Oh. Since this small Rakshasa state is not in the land of Taixi, how can I let it do whatever it wants? During the Ming and Qing dynasties, my ancestor Emperor Taizong was also sympathetic to him from afar, and his intentions were not clear, so he was blessed with great grace and allowed him to temporarily live in my land and talk about survival. Now that the Qing Dynasty has settled down, he still has to make inches, even harming the lives of our border people, and provoking the prestige of our Qing officials and soldiers. Is it tolerable or intolerable? I have made up my mind. Conquer it in the future! β
The emperor was stimulated by John Tang's "intentional or unintentional", first of all, he couldn't lose to those vassal monarchs of "Europa" in terms of momentum, and he had to apply color to the "barbarians" of Rakshasa!
"But there are big soldiers. Although I use strength, I can't slack off and wait. Toma Law. You know firearms. Can you do it reluctantly? Intensify the supervision of the construction of artillery and muskets to supply the officers and soldiers of our Eight Banners? Again, the Rakshasa West. Naturally, there are many similarities between the tactics of war and your hometown, and you can also teach them to the people of Ming'an Dali and Kadahun. Great work! β
Fu Lin remained unusually sober, cautious, and kind in the middle of the night.
"For the sake of the Qing Dynasty and the emperor, what hard work does the old minister have? The so-called liver and brain are smeared on the ground, and they must also repay the emperor's great grace of knowing people and making good use of them! "The old man who has long been in the countryside is very familiar with China's officialdom etiquette.
"Thank you, Lord Tang, for mentioning it!" Ming Andali and Ka Dahun on the side also lost no time in thanking John Tong for his help.
"Don't dare, the old man is trying his best to do it!" John Tang used the emperor's original words, which can be regarded as a degree of advance and retreat, and he is extremely courteous.
"Okay, tomorrow you Aiqing can hurry up and prepare for the Northern Expedition!" Fu Lin was very satisfied with the unity and cooperation of his courtiers.
"One more thing. Even at today's meeting, North Korean merchants smuggled horses, but they moved their whole bodies and led to many important things. Xuan Ye, do you have any other ideas? "Fulin Zuihou also wants to take advantage of his youngest son, and gives an unrestricted and unclear problem.
Hongyi knows very well: he was left behind, by no means waiting for the emperor's praise, but still useful. What does Fulin mean by the "divergent" nature of the meeting now? Anyway, zuihou is the one who takes the longest time and works the hardest on the matter of "Tong'an Wang's great maritime business"!
"Huang Ama, could it be that you want to make good use of the sea ships of King Tong'an to transport the grain and grass for the army's northern expedition first?" Hongyi thought for a moment and asked tentatively.
"Oh? Do you think it's possible? The emperor was very satisfied with this tacit understanding between their father and son, and the corners of Le's mouth rose, but he still asked lightly.
"Erchen thinks it's really feasible!" In Hongyi's words, he hurriedly finalized and tamped.
"How is it possible?"
"If you want to be a maritime trader, nothing without trade is empty talk. However, in a hurry, it also takes time to move goods. It is better to let the king of Tong'an take the large and small merchant ships along the coast of Fujian, go north in advance, find a safe place to unload the baggage, and after the army goes north, it will not be peaceful, and the natural grain and grass will not be worry-free. At the same time, the imperial court could make a list according to the list of Tong'an Wang, raise a variety of commodities, and transfer them to Jiaoao, Shandong, Jiangnan and Shanghai. After the handover of the baggage between the king of Tong'an and the army, he could go south to Jiaoao to load goods and go east to Korea and the Japanese country, and after trading with these two countries, he went directly south to Shanghai, and the delivery was handed over. A trip down, all along the way. β
Hongyi's hastily established the first high-sea trade route of the Qing government's maritime merchants, which still sounds reasonable.
"Good!" Fu Lin waited for his youngest son to say so.
After a night of investigation, Fulin came to a conclusion: When it comes to how to be a big maritime business, no one in the court today is as thoughtful and clear as the youngest son Xuan Ye! Let Zheng Zhilong first transfer grain and grass for his Northern Expedition Rakshasa, as soon as this idea came up, Fulin decided to "ask" his son's opinion. But the reason why I am not in the Imperial Council is because there are many people and many things, and if there are too many people involved, it will often become protracted and lengthy......
"Ming Andali, Kadahun, what else do you have to say?"
"Slaves are all up to the Holy Judge!" The remaining two people are waiting for tomorrow to start preparing for the Northern Expedition.
"In that case, let's ...... tonight" Fulin felt more relaxed than he had ever felt before, and was ready to announce loudly: "Go back to your own home, find your mother!" Go to bed! β
"The Queen Mother drove to ......"
At this moment, a loud message came from outside the palace from the eunuch on duty at night - I really can't "think", the emperor joked in his heart, and sure enough, he provoked his old lady!
"Huh? This...... Ladies and gentlemen, Xuan Ye, quickly follow me outside the palace! Fu Lin hurriedly got up and left.
"Huh!" The crowd also hurried out of the temple.
This big night, and let people not sleep-Hongyi can only secretly be annoyed, but he trots to keep up with Fulin. Everyone was also very wise in the chaos and avoided one after another, so that the master was automatically ranked second after the emperor.

Looking at recent history, I am disappointed
I was saying that there was an opportunity back then
Outside the map, it has been sharpened
It's hard to know what you're going to do
I got up and wore Rokkazi
Point out the world's pain and joy
China's brilliant ten thousand idiots
