Section 23 The Magic Box
Huang Shi, who had long been accustomed to this, smiled: "Mr. He Qian, the soldiers believe in all kinds of demons and monsters, aren't those even worse?"
He Baodao said a rebellious analogy without thinking: "My subordinates don't think that they can boost morale by relying on any religion, such an army is just yellow turban thieves and red turban thieves." ”
The other three officers all turned pale when they heard this, and Yang Zhiyuan hurriedly shouted: "President He Qian!"
"Your Excellency forgives sins. He Baodao fell to his knees in fright.
"It's all my own brothers here, you get up and talk first. Huang Shi turned around twice in the small cabin, and it was no big deal to talk behind closed doors, but this He Baodao was not the first time, and it seemed that he really had to find a way to cure him, otherwise he would get into trouble sooner or later.
He Baodao pondered his words for a while, and finally spoke again: "Last year, Wenxiang taught Xu thieves to advocate rebellion, and his party members were 2 million, and there were more than hundreds of thousands of thieves and rebels, and the official army was only 20,000. In less than six months, the thieves disappeared, and the thieves Ling Chi Jingcheng. Subordinates dare to ask your lordship, what is the use of this thing?"
Huang Shi stood up and sighed: "At least it can be the icing on the cake." And our army needs a lot of things from the Jesuits...... The Jesuits had dealings with many adults in the court......"
The Jesuits can not only provide technical personnel such as sea ships, artillery, and metallurgy, but also have good relations with Sun Yuanhua, Xu Guangqi and others. There were many Confucian scholars and doctors in the Ming Dynasty who believed in religion, mainly because of the books brought by the Jesuits, and these Confucian scholars in the Ming Dynasty translated and published dozens of works on world geography, geometric principles, human anatomy, etc., but unfortunately in the Huangshi era, these publications were banned and destroyed, so only the entries can be seen.
In fact, this kind of exchange also brought great benefits to the Ming Dynasty, for example, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, medicine had already believed that the brain was an organ of thinking, and there were works that the intelligence of children with small brains and old people's brains was affected by withered brains, and some related medical skills were thus developed; If this kind of speculation can be carried out for another hundred years, who can say that the theory of universal gravitation will not be put forward in China?
But in Huangshi's previous life, these Chinese thoughts and theories were all suspended because of Kangxi's sentence: "ridiculous", and those who dared to spread it were exiled to Ningguta, and all books were burned and banned, which is really a pity. When expounding these reasons, Huang Shi's tone was very soft, as a modern person, he knew the value of academic exchanges, and He Baodao, whose momentum had been hit, opened his mouth, and was finally speechless.
But Zhao Slowxiong came out to object, he felt that religion could not be controlled: "This Taixi Catholic Taoism is in the hands of the Taixi people." "Zhao Slowxiong is worried about the danger of Tai'a holding it backwards and giving people a handle.
"You're thinking too much about this. Huang Shi smiled and introduced them to the original doctrine, including not sacrificing ancestors, etc.: "Let's just borrow a name, and the control will naturally be firmly held in our hands, and the soldiers only need to compare to know which one is better, and who to believe." ”
The Jesuits had promised to send more shipbuilders and mining technicians to Yellowstone as long as they could promote Catholicism, and to put him in touch with Spanish merchants, among other things.
"Adults underestimate the power of the sect. ”
Zhao Slowxiong's voice retorted very loudly, and even his expression was a little anxious: "There is no comparison of believing in God, believing in God is the most unreasonable thing in the world, once the soldiers believe in this god of Taixi, then the adult is just a mortal, how can he compete with God?"
Seeing Huangshi pondering, Jin Qiude spoke, he has always been an active supporter of the promotion of Catholicism, and the trip to the Society of Jesus left a deep impression on him, and those exquisite instruments and brand-new theories touched him a lot: "Zhao Qian's subordinates dare not agree. My lord, so many benefits can be taken for nothing without spending money, why don't we, why not?"
Zhao Wanxiong glared at him and asked, "If you know that it is a bait for fishing, will Jin Qian always swallow it?"
Jin Qiude glanced at him with disdain, and laughed loudly: "Why are they fishermen, but we are fish?
Yang Zhiyuan, who had not spoken, also spoke: "My subordinates think that this Taixi God is also persuading people to be kind, but it is not a big deal, our army has military law, who can still make waves?" Huang Shi knew that Yang Zhiyuan was a very pious person, he believed in all kinds of Bodhisattvas, Erlang gods and land fathers, and he has always been very sincere to incense all kinds of gods.
"Alas, which god will come up and teach people to do evil, but don't they still take sesame oil money for nothing?" Zhao Slowbear shook his head and smiled bitterly for a long time, he had suffered a lot since he was a child, so he didn't believe in any gods, and finally Zhao Slowbear turned around and bowed to Huangshi: "Although my subordinates can't say clearly, I always feel that there are endless troubles, please be enlightened." ”
"My subordinates feel the same way. He Baodao also added: "Zi is silent and blames God, and it always makes sense for the saint to say this." ”
Jin Qiude bowed deeply to Huangshi with the most solemn gesture, and his scholarly background made him have no reverence for any gods and Buddhas: "My lord, the strong people in the world are respected, Zhao Qian always thinks that they are fishing, can we only be fished? The Jesuits can deceive people and win over the ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, but we can't use this ability? ”
"Phew," Zhao Slowxiong spat on the ground angrily, and said in a rare fierce tone: "I know that there is trouble and still provoke it, how can I have such an idea?
Jin Qiude ignored him and asked Huang Shi directly: "My lord, if everything in the world has to be considered, then we should not do anything." Zhao Qian has no confidence, don't adults have confidence in their own strength?"
......
After returning to Changsheng Island, Huang Shi ordered each coffin to be stamped with a military flag, the pit viper flag of Changsheng Island, and then solemnly buried more than 100 soldiers.
Contrary to tradition, Yellowstone planted a cross in each grave, which was said to send the soldier's soul to the heavenly barracks, and the soldiers acquiesced in the idea that they could not do so. Kim Qiude spat on a lot of teachings, and Yellowstone had given him the job - he felt like he had opened Pandora's box himself.
While standing aside to admire, Huang Shi pointed to Jin Qiude on the stage and asked, "Mr. He Qian, do you say that Mr. Jin Qian believes it?"
"Definitely don't believe it, he is also a person who has read the books of saints, how can he believe this?"
Huang Shi smiled and nodded: "That's a good point. It is no wonder that Confucianism in China is called Confucianism by foreigners, and this thing has indeed effectively prevented the spread of religion among the scholar class: "But the soldiers do not understand the righteousness of my famous Chinese religion, I just hope that they can also be indoctrinated, and do not forget their loyalty to the Ming Dynasty (actually to Huangshi himself)." ”
Duncan had other concerns, and he finally told Yellowstone that if Jesus knew about this doctrine, not only would he not get anything, but he would also be excommunicated.
Huang Shi reverently folded his hands, looked up at the blue sky, and whispered: "God will understand you and I in promoting Holy Catholicism. ”
"Perhaps...... Well, I mean, it must be. Duncan drew several crosses in quick succession: "But the Jesuit priests will not understand, and my report is of course very good, but they will still send someone to inspect it." ”
Huang Shi still looked up at the sky with reverence on his face, and replied softly: "They will understand, we can pray, pray to God." "-- When it comes to face-saving projects, you white-haired baboons are far from enough to be compared with us Chinese.
After the Battle of Lushun, Dongjiang Town was officially opened, and the imperial court ordered the Household Department and the Military Department to send officials to Liaodong to survey the number of registered soldiers and inspect the battalions, soldiers, and equipment of Dongjiang Town.
