Fuzhou.

Zheng Zhilong plans to buy wasteland on the outskirts of the city, build a spacious mansion, and then invest in building a school and hire famous teachers from all over the world to teach.

I have just selected the wasteland, and I plan to pay for it, and I am going to ask the government for permission to build a house. As a result, the defendant said that Zheng Zhilong's household registration was not in Fuzhou, and he had to change his household registration before he could purchase the wasteland specially approved by the government.

Zheng Zhilong put on his identity as a marquis, and it was useless!

After some anger, Zheng Zhilong had to be honest and obedient. The son has already hired the eldest princess (Zhao Zhenfang), and even chose an auspicious day for the zodiac to get married, so there is no need to make trouble at this juncture.

Zheng Zhilong can only temporarily live in a small house in Fuzhou City, today is Sunday, he went to Sanshan Hall to worship by the way.

In the whole of China, Beijing is the headquarters of the Jesuits, Macao is the rear of the Jesuits, Jiading is the base of the Jesuits, and Fuzhou is the academic center of the Jesuits. There used to be a Nanjing, and since the Nanjing Case, the Jesuit power in Nanjing has been uprooted.

Zheng Zhilong came to Sanshan Hall in a sedan chair and soon met Father Julius.

Julius is the vicar of the Jesuit diocese of southern China, responsible for the affairs of Nanjing, Jiangxi, Hunan, Sichuan, Zhejiang, and Fujian.

He is known as "Confucius from the West", and is a good friend of the late Shoufu Ye Xianggao, knows several ministers of the Tianqi and Chongzhen dynasties, and knows more than ten Shangshu and countless governors.

Historically, after Chongzhen hanged himself, Julius gathered missionaries from the south and went to Nanjing to help Shi Kefa resist the Manchus. It's a pity that these missionaries were only halfway there, and the small court in Nanjing was already finished.

Throughout Fujian, Julius built more than 20 churches.

The Sanshan Church in Fuzhou was not only used for missionary purposes, but also published more than 80% of the Jesuit books in China.

Only a few of these books are related to the Bible, and most of them belong to astronomy, calendar, geography, mathematics, philosophy, medicine, etc. In particular, astronomy, philosophy, and geography had a great influence among the scholars of Fujian, and Yahism was highly integrated with Confucianism in Fujian.

If it is allowed to develop, it is very likely that Yahism will be sinicized like Buddhism and become a kind of Han Jesthisism.

Even like the Orthodox Church, it stands on its own and becomes ...... Jing Zhengjiao?

The Chinese Nestorianan monument was discovered by Julius!

Zheng Zhilong walked into the Sanshan Hall and found that Julius was baptizing people, and he stood by with great interest to watch.

After a while, there was a commotion outside the church.

An official in an official uniform with a long sword on his back rushed to the door of the church and shouted: "Surround this place immediately!" ”

Julius was unhurried and continued to baptize.

He has long been used to it, and was even wanted by the imperial court for a time, accused of "melting Confucianism and slandering Buddha".

Tang Tianlu sneered and entered the church, and did not interrupt the other party's spell casting, but just stood there quietly and watched.

Many of the Datong scholars developed by Xu Ying have now become missionary officials at all levels. For example, Tang Tianlu is the director of the Fuzhou Provincial Propaganda and Education Bureau, responsible for the ideological education work in Fuzhou.

This person is a fanatical believer in Datong thought, and he is proud of his identity as a sword-bearer, even if he is the director, he still carries a long sword all day long.

Tang Tianlu has long been unaccustomed to seeing Sanshantang!

Finally, the baptism was completed.

Julius walked up to Tang Tianlu and arched his hand, "May I ask what your Excellency means by coming here?" ”

Tang Tianlu took out the search warrant jointly issued by the Fujian Propaganda Department and the Fuzhou Prefect, and said with an expressionless face: "Your Majesty has an order, and all Yashua churches in various places should register and report to the government within one month. If you fail to report within the time limit, you will be demolished immediately! From now on, Yahweh's religion must obtain government approval to build churches anywhere. Yahweh is not to be preached anywhere except the church! ”

Julius suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't directly engage in religious bans, he would go to the government tomorrow to report to the government. He was a little scared of being banned by the sect, and Sanshantang was suppressed for twenty years, and it was not until a few years ago that it was finally restored.

"Since it is the emperor's order, I must obey it, and I will go to the government tomorrow to report." Julius said.

Tang Tianlu also said: "Your Majesty has decreed that the missionary books of the Yahweh religion shall not use God, heaven, or God to refer to the outer gods. ”

"This ......," Julius suddenly turned bloodless.

Julio was more radical than Matteo Ricci, he read the Four Books and the Five Classics, and he also studied Zhu Xi very well. So he knew how to preach, and that was to localize Yahism in China, as Buddhism did.

The path he chose was to directly integrate Confucianism!

Zhao Han's order will cause Julius's hard work to go to waste.

Tang Tianlu no longer paid attention to this person and ordered: "Search the books immediately, and find that all the words God, Heaven, and God are confiscated and burned!" ”

Officials from the Mission Bureau, as well as officials seconded from various yamen, immediately stormed the various rooms of the church and searched them.

And the search was very violent, and the rummaging of boxes and cabinets made a crackling sound.

Zheng Zhilong stepped forward to persuade: "This little brother, of course His Majesty's order should be carried out, but there is no need to ...... it."

"Shut up!" Tang Tianlu scolded.

Zheng Zhilong suddenly became angry, he used to be the overlord of the sea, how could he allow a petty official to scold? Immediately said angrily: "I am Zheng Zhilong, the Marquis of Zhenhai personally sealed by His Majesty!" ”

Tang Tianlu sneered: "I don't care what you do, if you dare to intercede with Yajiao, you will obstruct the law enforcement of the government!" ”

Zheng Zhilong huffed and said, "When did I obstruct you from enforcing the law? Church land, I'm just advising you not to make a mess. ”

"Arrest this man!"

Tang Tianlu shouted: "If he dares to resist arrest, he will resist the law and disobey the law, confiscate the land, and the three generations of children and grandchildren will not be officials!" ”

Of course, Tang Tianlu doesn't have this right, but he can report it layer by layer.

The bigger the trouble, the better, Tang Tianlu wanted to demolish Sanshan Hall. He only believes in Confucianism and Datong theory, and he can't wait for the whole country to ban Yahism!

Zhao Han is worried about this phenomenon, so when the books are confiscated and destroyed, as long as they do not obstruct law enforcement, there is no need for any punishment. Even if a member of the church is reported, just hand over the book honestly.

Julius hurriedly persuaded: "This parishioner, there is no need to do this, let them search." ”

Zheng Zhilong didn't have to defend Yahism, he only casually persuaded two words. Now I am angry, more because I am not respected, and I have lost face in front of a local petty official.

Zheng Zhilong sneered and scolded: "If you have the guts, come and arrest me!" ”

"Arrested over there," Tang Tianlu said to many officials, "If this person resists, he will be killed on the spot, and I will bear the responsibility if something happens." No matter what kind of marquis you are, you are a relative of the emperor, and you can kill them according to the catch! ”

Many officials surrounded him with knives, and Zheng Zhilong was a little dumbfounded.

He's not stupid, and he's smart.

But he has been in a high position for many years, and now he is a marquis, so Zheng Zhilong does not take the petty officials seriously.

Looking at the posture of those officials, it is possible to really hack him to death on the spot, where the hell is the reason?

"Misunderstanding, it's all misunderstanding, haha," Zheng Zhilong suddenly laughed, "I came to the church today, in fact, I came to apostatize." In the future, I will no longer believe in Yahism, but will convert to Taoism, and tomorrow I will donate money to repair the Tianfei Temple in Fujian. ”

Zheng Zhilong's brain turned quickly, not only did he give in to the petty official in front of him, but also guessed that Zhao Han was extremely dissatisfied with Yahism.

In this case, he is a convert, anyway, he used to believe in both Jesus and Mazu, and in the future, he can only believe in Mazu.

Tang Tianlu pointed at Julius and sneered: "Okay, let him give you a renegade on the spot!" ”

While Zheng Zhilong was performing the apostasy ceremony, the official mission found a large number of books, such as "A Brief History of the Words and Deeds of the Nativity of God", "Introduction to the Nativity of God", "Song of the Holy Dream", "Eucharistic Essentials" and so on.

It is the largest distribution center for Jewish books in the whole of China, and many pamphlets are printed and piled up in churches waiting to be distributed.

Tang Tianlu picked up a copy of "Western Studies", flipped through it casually, and said to Julio: "This book is not bad, it would be better to remove any theology." Give me a copy, and I'll take it and dedicate it to Your Majesty. ”

Julius said: "It is an honor for me to be able to enter the eyes of the emperor. ”

Tang Tianlu also flipped through the "Three Mountains Treatise on Learning", which was a book on Taoism by Julius and Ye Xianggao, which included astronomy, Confucianism, and Western philosophy.

Then there is the "Outer Records of the Staff", which details the geography of the world.

There is also a "Complete Atlas of Nations", which belongs to the World Atlas.

The rest are still "Geometric Essentials" and the like, all of which are natural science books.

Tang Tianlu criticized: "You old god, how good it is to concentrate on learning, you are chattering all day long." His Majesty has ordered that if you meet a scholar from Fanbang, you will send it to Nanjing for an audience. Don't stay in Fuzhou, go to Nanjing quickly! ”

The Sanshan Hall was searched, and all kinds of criminal books were piled up outside the church and burned.

Then, Tang Tianlu took people to Ye's house to search, which was the house of Ye Xianggao, the late head of the Ming Dynasty.

Ye Xianggao's two grandsons, a great-grandson, and a granddaughter-in-law have all been baptized by Julius.

Tang Tianlu led people to rush into the Ye family's mansion, and opened his mouth to hide prohibited books, as long as he honestly accepted the search, he would be fine. Whoever dares to obstruct the search, or find out the prohibited books, and is unwilling to hand them over, will not be allowed to be an official for three generations.

As soon as these words came out, the Ye family jumped and took the initiative to hand in the books.

In a short time, he handed over three Bibles and a bunch of Yahwedish pamphlets.

Compared with the children and grandchildren who are officials, religious belief seems to be dispensable.

In the following days, Sanshantang successfully reported to the government and allowed missionaries to preach inside Sanshantang. However, all other churches in Fuzhou were banned, and only one church was allowed to exist in a city.

Seeing that the imperial court was in earnest, Zheng Zhilong donated 1,000 taels of silver for the renovation of the Tianfei Temple in Fuzhou.

Since then, Zheng Zhilong has been a devout Taoist believer, and he has completely broken away from Western Yahism.

As for Julius, this "Confucius from the West" honestly went to Nanjing to meet the emperor.

After Zhao Han communicated with Julius, he found that the other party's level of Confucianism actually beat many local Chinese scholars. Moreover, astronomy and geography, mathematical geometry, medical physics, everything, and even dabbling in traditional Chinese medicine.

Julius was thrown to be a bachelor and assisted in the compilation of the calendar at the Planetarium of the Qintian Academy.
