In fact, there were not many missionaries who set foot on the land of the Ming Dynasty and came to the Ming Dynasty to spread Catholicism.

In the late 15th century, with the great geographical discoveries and the expansion of Spain and Portugal, Matteo Ricci's European missionaries dressed in Confucian clothes went to various parts of the world to preach.

During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the Jesuits took the lead in entering China, which opened the prelude to the scientific and cultural exchanges between China and the West during the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Jesuits are a general term for Jesuit members. Foreign languages are usually indicated by S.J. after the person's name. In China, it is often referred to as Jesuit missionaries who preach in China. The Society of Jesus is one of the Catholic religious orders. Also known as the Jesus Company.

Between 1552 and Matteo Ricci's arrival in China in 1583, a total of 32 Jesuits, 24 Franciscans, 2 Augustinians, and 1 Dominican attempted to settle in China, but were unsuccessful.

It was not until 1583 that the Jesuits Luo Mingjian and Matteo Ricci arrived in Zhaoqing as "Fan monks", opening the history of Jesuit missions in Chinese mainland. After that, the Jesuits sent missionaries into China one after another.

At that time, there were hundreds of Western missionaries in China, including Xavier, Luo Mingjian, Matteo Ricci, Long Huamin, Luo Ruwang, Pang Di I, Xiong Sanba, Julio, Deng Yuhan, John Tang, and Luo Jacob.

Even in the 17th year of the reign of Kangxi, the Belgian missionary Nan Huairen, who served in the Qing court and was trusted by the emperor, sent a letter to the European Church, requesting that more missionaries be sent to China.

Upon learning of Nan Huairen's request, Louis XIV saw this as an excellent opportunity to expand French influence in the East and immediately decided to send Jesuits to China. He appointed Bai Jin and six other French priests as "mathematicians of the king" and went to China to spread Catholicism.

It's just that the Qing Dynasty at that time simply lost face.

Because of the reason why Western missionaries returned to Europe with what they had seen in the Ming Dynasty, most of the European missionaries at that time thought that the East was a rich place.

The people are well fed and clothed, the roads extend in all directions, and it is a famous city that can be compared even with the Western imperial states.

However, when they got there, they found that Ya was full of beggars and homeless people, and there was never a desire for the future in people's eyes.

It's rubbish to death.

In particular, Matteo Ricci, who had a great influence on the Ming Dynasty at the beginning, described the Ming Dynasty at that time: In addition to not yet bathing in "our sacred Catholic faith", "China's greatness is unparalleled in the world" and "China is not only a kingdom, China is actually a world." ”

He lamented that "Plato's ideals as a theoretical narrative in the Republic have been put into practice in China." And he also found that the Chinese were very knowledgeable, "very proficient in medicine, natural sciences, mathematics, and astronomy." But he also found that "among the Chinese, science is not much of an object of study." ”

It's just that this 'Matteo Ricci' also arrived in the Ming Dynasty during the Wanli period! The Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty were just dynastic changes, and most of the Westerners who set foot on the land of the Qing Dynasty at that time did not have the understanding that the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty were two different dynasties.

In particular, according to the historical process of Bi Liwang at this time, it is already the Chongzhen period.

At this time, not only did not half of the Westerners set foot on the land of the Ming Dynasty, but on the contrary, the West also occupied the whole of Africa!

It can be seen that that illegal system already has a strong foundation in the West, and perhaps it is not a dream to conquer the world and make the whole world a European colony.

However, after confirming that no Westerners had landed on the land of the East, Bi Liwang did not rush to reply to Mu Rufeng, nor did he return to the palace directly.

At this time, the government has a doppelganger in charge, and Bi Liwang no longer needs to bother.

It can be said that Bi Liwang at this time is an idler!

And many people, after they are idle, will find something to do for themselves, and they are uncomfortable.

Bi Liwang is also one of those people.

After a few days of torture in the palace, Bi Liwang suddenly wanted to experience the life of the victims in the drought-stricken area.

Li said: empathize.

This is also the reason why Bi Liwang and Wei Zhongxian will appear in the sky above the victims.

In the past two days, Bi Liwang and Wei Zhongxian have been mixing in the refugee group and experiencing a wave of survival with the refugees.

And this wave of idle egg pain operation, the whim of the meningitis attack also brought Bi Liwang an unexpected harvest.

This harvest is not material, but spiritual.

Material gains are easy to understand, but when it comes to spiritual gains, many people mostly just laugh it off......

After all, the vague thing of spiritual harvest is not easy to compare with the real thing.

It's just that Bi Liwang really got a spiritual harvest - the recognition of his own imperial power.

The emperor can be cruel, bloodthirsty, domineering, evil, honest, kind-hearted, and weak...... However, any mentality of the emperor and any path taken by the emperor have his flaws, and this 'defect' must not be allowed to fall on the heads of the people!

Therefore, the emperor needs a crown.

Although the crown resting on the emperor's head will make the emperor more majestic, the real meaning of the crown is that when the sky falls, it will be carried by me, the one with the hat! Behind me, you will always see the hope of living!

"How's things going at the newspaper?"

After Wei Zhongxian had just returned to Wei Zhongxian's mansion in the capital, Bi Liwang immediately asked.

"Niangniang, let the slave go and ask."

With that, Wei Zhongxian hurriedly walked towards his bedroom.

Pushing open the bedroom, I saw another Wei Zhongxian sitting at the desk in the bedroom at this time, correcting the secret reports within the eunuch party.

The two Wei Zhongxian looked at each other, and then nodded in unison.

Wei Zhongxian, who was at the desk, immediately turned into a puff of smoke and dissipated in front of Wei Zhongxian.

The art of shadow clones!

This is the spell that Bi Liwang gave to Wei Zhongxian before leaving, so that Wei Zhongxian and himself can manage the eunuch party and guard the capital during the days when they are lurking in the disaster victims.

Yes, that's right, it's the same day that Bi Liwang gave Wei Zhongxian's original heart!

To be more precise, the Shadow Clone Technique was given to Wei Zhongxian an hour after he woke up from his fainting.

Although the shadow clone technique is a ninjutsu and requires chakra to be used, it is surprising that it can also be used with spiritual and demonic powers, and the effect is better than chakra.

What's even more surprising is that Wei Zhongxian only cultivated for less than half an hour...... In just half an hour, Wei Zhongxian had cultivated to the first level of Qi cultivation......

Although it is very low, it seems to be much stronger than Bi Liwang.

I think that at the beginning, Bi Liwang meditated all night, and there was no big fart!

And Wei Zhongxian only cultivated for less than half an hour before he stepped on the Qi cultivation from a mortal...... Could it be that Wei Zhongxian is the protagonist?
