Tang Ruowang didn't come to the Marshal's Mansion much, and over the years, he basically laid out the church and missionary affairs, and he didn't care much about Li Xiao's affairs.

In his opinion, if he has contributed his strength to the unity and strength of the Ming Dynasty, he should enjoy the dividend of power.

And preaching is the bonus he deserves! Having traveled thousands of miles from Bavaria to the Ming Empire, John Tong sincerely wanted to spread the gospel of the Lord here.

It's just a pity! The Ming people didn't seem to believe much in his preaching, so he couldn't concentrate on medicine.

Using medical skills to preach can achieve twice the result with half the effort. It can be said that he healed every sick person.

There will be one more family of congregants! The effect of proselytizing with medical skills was so good that John felt that this was the only way he could preach smoothly and effectively.

That's why he studied medical skills so diligently, and even asked his subordinates to find corpses for autopsy. Anatomy has always been an emphasis in Western medicine, while in contrast, Chinese medicine is about asking questions.

And he also studied the Yellow Emperor's Neijing, which has a very specific description of internal organs. Tang Ruowang felt that in ancient times, Chinese medicine should have also dissected corpses.

Under the leadership of Shunzi, John Tang walked into Li Xiao's study. This is the second time he has come to this study, and the last time was to check Li Xiao's body.

"See the Generalissimo!" John Tang saluted like a Ming official. He has been in Daming for too long, and he knows that this is a country that pays attention to etiquette.

No matter how old he is, he has to follow the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, he won't be able to stay for a day.

"Get up! At this age, there is no need to stick to this etiquette. "Da Ming Law" is good, if you are over seventy years old, you can go to the yamen lobby without kneeling, not to mention that I am not a yamen lobby. Sit! Li Xiao put down the report in his hand and waved his hand gently, as if he was dusting it off.

"No!" Tang Ruowang stood up and was asked by Li Xiao to sit down on the sofa.

"How is Dashuai's health recently, Lao Yu originally wanted to come to check your body in the next few days." Li Xiao pouted!

This is nonsense, to check the body today is not good? Besides, Western medicine uses a lot of tools to examine the body.

One of the most important is the stethoscope. This old guy didn't even take a bag, and the stethoscope was already around his neck?

"I've been in good shape lately! The weather in Beijing is warmer than in Russia. Moreover, the hell in Russia is still a thief. The medicine called paracetamol that you and Doctor Li studied is very useful, and the soldiers on the front line have a cold and fever, so they will be fine after taking this medicine for three or two days. Speaking of which, I also have to thank you on behalf of Daming. Li Xiao nodded politely.

The Ming Empire was able to exalt its prestige in foreign battles, and this was also due to the contributions of thousands of military doctors. Although they are all young men, they are all very strong.

But after all, this is a battle in the ice and snow, and colds and fevers often happen. The Ming army has never been short of medical treatment, and every officer and soldier up and down can enjoy very good medical security.

If you are wounded on the battlefield, you will be quickly transported to about two kilometers behind the battlefield. It is then simply bandaged and then sent back to the airship landing site, which is five kilometers away.

The airship would take the wounded out of the battlefield, and the wounded would be sent to a field hospital more than 100 kilometers behind the ground after being wounded for just over an hour.

There are plenty of doctors and nurses there to take care of the sick and wounded. In battles where casualties are low, nurses can even take care of them one-on-one.

The excellent battlefield ambulance made the proportion of wounded soldiers of the Ming army return to the front line to 80 percent. In addition to those wounded soldiers who are really disabled, the high cure rate is terrible.

Only five to eight percent of the sick and wounded end up dying in hospitals. This is a world of difference from the allied field hospital known as Satan's Gate.

In this, there is indeed a credit to John Tang. After all, when the Jingshi Military Medical College was established, he was also one of the founders.

Li Xiao still remembers these contributions.

"Uh......! Generalissimo, in fact, this time I have come to ask for something. Tang Ruowang pondered for a moment, but decided to go straight in.

"What's the matter?" Li Xiao didn't feel half surprised, but just asked vigorously.

"Because of the needs of teaching and research, my congregation went to get some corpses. Now, Suncheon Fu Yin said that our sect members steal graves and dig graves. And I want to behead my people in public! Generalissimo, you know, in order to save more people. We need to perform autopsies with cadavers in order to better understand the human organs. We are also here to save people, and the dead have already died, and they ......! ”

"The dead are dead, but the national customs are different. I have heard the saying that the flesh is a stinking skin, and I have heard it in Buddhist teachings. But in our Ming Dynasty, the dead are great! The corpse of the deceased should be treated with full respect, and it is forbidden to insult and desecrate the corpse without the consent of the family. This is the code that everyone in the Ming Dynasty must abide by! This first point is different from you in the West! I know what you said, Liu Zongzhou specially wrote a piece of music and submitted it to me. My approval is handled in accordance with the "Da Ming Law"! The "Da Ming Law" is the basic law of my Da Ming, and everyone must abide by this law. I think Liu Zongzhou did the right thing. If I did it, it would have the same result. I'm sorry, Mr. Tang, I can't promise you about this. Li Xiao politely refused Tang Ruowang's request.

"This ......!" John Tang was speechless for a while. He didn't expect that Li Xiao would reject him like this.

And the refusal is so strong, there is no room for buffer negotiation.

"Generalissimo, you know. In order to improve your medical skills, you must know the shape of internal organs and other organs. There are also changes in the human body after various lesions. Dissection is the only way to see these visually. If you do this, Da Ming's medical skills will not improve. There will be a lot of patients, and we don't have a good way to treat them because of insufficient research. And you're likely to be one of these patients. Generalissimo, this is a matter for everyone. Please also be extrajudicial and release those congregationalists. I swear in Jehovah's name that they will not steal corpses again. We will appease the families of those who have lost their bodies, we will give them the highest compensation, and we will do everything in our power to make up for our mistakes. We will sincerely ask for their forgiveness, and we will try our best to make amends for their injuries. Please remember that I have contributed to the Ming Dynasty, and I still have a little credit, please spare them. Tang Ruowang's tone was almost pleading, and his body fell to his knees in front of Li Xiao.

Seeing that Tang Ruowang was full of white hair, Li Xiao shook his head helplessly. I think that when we first met in Macau, John Tong was still an aspiring missionary.

At that time, he was just a little gray on his sideburns! Now, he is in his seventies.

The truth of time is that a wild donkey is running wildly, and he can't catch it even if he pulls his tail.

"Old Tang, your credit is your credit. You have made a contribution, and Daming has also given you the convenience of preaching as promised. I can't deny that! Over the years, how many churches have your religion built in Daming. How many believers have been absorbed, these Ming officials have not taken care of it. Even in some places, because of the relationship between the magistrates, the imperial court will have a little support. These are all things I promised you at the beginning. How can you blackmail me with your merits? Take your credit and go and atone for the sins of those who dig graves. If I say yes, that's a perversion. As for what you say that medical skills should be improved through anatomical research, I do agree with it. However, the autopsied bodies could be Koreans, Wako, Cochin, Burmese, Siamese, and European. If it is those who have hurt the Ming Empire, you will have no problem dissecting them who are alive. It's just that you have your eyes on the Ming people. Don't you know, this is a serious violation of the traditions of the Ming people? No, you just think. As long as you're in the name of science, you can be unscrupulous. Even if you are caught, it is just to tell everyone that you are just trying to save more people. In this way, you will be forgiven and even respected by people. Tang Lao, you are wrong! "Da Ming Law" is "Da Ming Law", and no one, including me, has the right to bend the law at will. That's it, those few members of your sect will be beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market tomorrow. Oh, I haven't told you yet. That deputy of yours, Matteo Ricci, has been captured and brought to life. From his confession, you learned that although you dissected the corpses, you were not involved in the theft of the corpses. And you still take care of them, and you must buy them with money. That's why you can still set foot in my mansion. Intensive medical research is a good thing, but too much becomes a bad thing. The previous demolition of the church was a warning to you. But I didn't expect that you didn't restrain at all. On the contrary, it has intensified! actually stole the corpse, and after interrogation Matteo Ricci. You've even done harm to children! Folk rumors still have some shadows. Your religion has caused such a disaster in the Ming Dynasty that has made the imperial court very dissatisfied. As I told you, soon the Ming Dynasty will ban foreign religions. It's like your religion will be rejected by the Ming Dynasty. Churches that have been built have either been demolished or diverted for other purposes. The clergy of the Ming dynasty will be dismissed. One of the leaders will be imprisoned! As for the clergy overseas, we decided to let them go to the North Sea to shepherd sheep. Li Xiao didn't care about Tang Ruowang, who was kneeling on the ground, and said with a scowl on his face.

"Generalissimo......!" Tang Ruowang looked at Li Xiao in shock, he didn't expect that the plea would come up with such a result.

pleaded, and actually begged for his years of hard work.

"You go, don't come in the future. All your errands in Daming will be unloaded. We have built a new dwelling for you on the other side of Mentougou, and you will live there from now on. Li Xiao did not have the slightest mercy for the elderly priest, and directly sent him to Mentougou.

"Generalissimo, don't, don't! You can't do that, you can't! Not only is this my life's work, but it's also a place where people can hear the Lord's gospel. You can't tear down churches, people need salvation. John Tang shouted in despair and sorrow.

"I can! The Ming Dynasty needed skilled blue-collar workers, skilled doctors, knowledgeable scholars, and hard-working farmers. But there is no need for some so-called gospel, your Jehovah is not suitable for the Ming Empire. Okay, go to the place that the court has prepared for you, and live the rest of your life. Junko, send-off! Li Xiao commanded, and Junzi immediately brought two guards in.

"Generalissimo, this is the hard work of many people, you can't destroy it all at once, you can't!" John Tang was still roaring, and the two wolf-like guards dragged him down.

Li Xiao looked at the old man who was dragged away without the slightest pity. The slogan of God's love for the world is only suitable for shouting.

Daming already has two schools of Buddhism and Taoism, and in Li Xiao's view, there is no need for too much religion in this world.

Even Li Xiao felt that this world was better without religion. The ban on churches is also to let the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism weigh and weigh.

Once the bottom line of the court is provoked, as long as the court takes action, it is not too simple to destroy a religion.

Especially in a country like the Ming Dynasty, it is very simple to destroy a religion. Li Xiao didn't speak, just sat quietly on the sofa and smoked a cigar.

He wasn't thinking about John Tong's affairs, but he felt that time had passed too quickly. In a blink of an eye, he was already a middle-aged man in his forties.

How did all these years pass so quickly? I don't even feel like I'm getting old. Just saw the crane's goosebumps and the old John Tang, Li Xiao couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

Could it be that when you are old, you are also that virtuous? He has been a noble hero in front of people for a lifetime, and he has become that virtue.

The skin on the face can be stretched out half a foot long! Although I don't want to, people always have to grow old and die. From Qin Shi Huang to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and then to the emperors.

They went one after another to pursue the elixir of immortality, but unfortunately none of them succeeded. Li Xiao didn't understand it before, and he wanted to pursue that thing for Mao.

It seems that they really have a reason to pursue it. Now, Li Xiao, who once scoffed at this, even wants to pursue it.

I don't know how long I sat there, Li Lin walked in and called softly

"Dad!" Only then did Li Xiao come to his senses and look at the huge grandfather clock. It's already half past one in the morning!

Unexpectedly, I had hysteria for several hours. Li Xiao felt magical, in the past few hours, he had thought a lot but had no memory, as if someone had erased his memory with an eraser.

"Nothing, just thinking about something." Li Xiao smiled to himself and waved his hand at his son.

"Let's go, boy, have a drink with your father."
