But Bumig feels blasphemed, and the fool can be Jesus? Can a fool be a virgin? Isn't that all messy? All these heretics should be sent to the gallows, no, they should be burned at the stake!

But after all, Bu Mige still didn't forget the business.

Hurry up and introduce Bryce and other young scientists to His Majesty the Emperor.

Then he was free to preach and had the opportunity to become a cardinal.

Once he became a cardinal, he was going to send the heretics to the gallows.

It's just that now, Bu Mige can't do anything, so he can only endure his anger and bring Bryce and the others to the Guozijian.

For Guozijian, Bryce and other young people have little feeling, because the scale of Guozijian is not superior to European universities, and the scale of the University of Paris is even larger than Guozijian.

Since Cardinal Richelieu became rector, the University of Paris has even become an academic center throughout Europe.

To tell the truth, these young people, as elite students at various universities, can find good jobs and a good salary after graduation, whether they stay in school to teach or return to their home countries, and then marry a virtuous wife, and then find a few beautiful mistresses, and live a rich and luxurious life from then on.

But the pursuit of scholarship contributed to this trip to the East.

Although I don't know what the academic environment of the Eastern Empire was like in the Ming Dynasty?

But it was known from Father Bumig that there was an emperor in the Eastern Empire who attached more importance to scholarship than the Rector Richelieu, which made them look forward to this trip to the East.

Thanks to the support of the Bishop of Richelieu, the University of Paris became the center of learning throughout Europe.

So with the support of the Ming Emperor, why can't the Ming Imperial Academy become the academic center of the whole world? They are more eager to achieve academic success than a luxurious life.

Soon, they met the Ming Emperor, whom they had "admired" for a long time.

His Majesty the Emperor was younger and more handsome than they had imagined.

Bu Mige took thirty-six students and saluted Chongzhen according to Western etiquette.

Chongzhen is also full of expectations for these thirty-six students, I wonder if there is a Descartes in it? Is there a Pascal, and is there any other Daga?

Can the Ming Dynasty establish the discipline of modern mathematics, physics and chemistry?

It depends on whether these 36 Western visitors can be kept.

Otherwise, he will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey to perfect these disciplines on his own?

After all, many of the basics he had learned had been forgotten, and it was difficult to form a complete system.

What's more, he doesn't have time to do these specific tasks himself, that is, to guide the general direction and guide the development of the technology tree, which he is barely capable of.

I'll leave the specific work to these scholars from the West.

"Bu Mige, quickly introduce me to these scholars." Chongzhen said with a smile.

"As you wish, Your Majesty the Emperor." "These are all elites from various universities, including the School of Mathematics, the School of Physics, the School of Chemistry, the School of Medicine, and of course, the School of Theology, they are all leaders in their respective fields, and I have brought you the elites of the whole of Europe."

"Is Master Descartes here?" Chongzhen asked directly, "Master Descartes?"

"Oh no, very sorry, Your Majesty the Emperor." Bu Mige's face collapsed in an instant, this slap in the face was really unexpected, and he just said that he had moved the entire European elite to Daming, and he asked Descartes.

Chongzhen was also a little disappointed, it seems that his sincere invitation alone still can't attract European academic masters.

Bu Mig said helplessly: "In accordance with your instructions, I sincerely invited Master Descartes to come to Daming to teach, but he refused to leave his family and sail across the ocean."

In fact, Descartes had no interest in coming to Daming at all.

After a pause, Bumig took Bryce's hand again and said, "But, Your Majesty, I have brought you the most brilliant and youngest mathematicians and physicists in all of Europe in the last fifty years."

Chongzhen's eyes lit up and he asked, "This is Bryce. Pascal?"

"Yes, he's Bryce. Pascal." After Bumig finished speaking, he turned back to Bryce and said, "Look, Bryce, I didn't deceive you, His Majesty the Emperor has really heard of your name."

Pascal bent his knees again and thanked Chongzhen.

Pascal is now genuinely convinced that Kamig did not deceive them.

The emperor in front of him made almost no secret of his enthusiasm for them.

This was something they had never seen before, and the kings and grand dukes of Europe almost never looked at them squarely.

Chongzhen continued to say enthusiastically: "Mr. Pascal, I mean what I say, as long as you are willing to stay in Daming to serve as the dean of the School of Mathematics and the Dean of the School of Physics of Guozijian, I can allocate you two million silver dollars a year, in addition to two thousand students for you, and another two thousand students will be recruited for you every year in the future."

Bu Mige immediately translated the meaning of Chongzhen's words to Pascal.

After listening to Bu Mige's translation, the thirty-six young people all exclaimed in amazement.

Pascal was even more excited with blushing and incoherent: "Respect for the generous, wise and wise Emperor, my gratitude to you is beyond words, you are the greatest emperor I have ever met, I believe that the Ming Empire will become the most academically powerful and enlightened empire in the world under your rule."

"In the end, I have to admit that I would love to stay in Daming to coach."

"Two million livres don't matter, the key is that I like the academic atmosphere of Daming."

Receiving Pascal's affirmative answer, Chongzhen was overjoyed, and now the subjects of mathematics and physics were in order.

Bu Mige pulled the second young man and said to Chongzhen, "Your Majesty the Emperor, this is also the greatest chemistry genius that has emerged in Europe in the past fifty years. Boyle!"

"Robert. Boyle?!" This time, Chongzhen almost crossed his chest.

This is the rhythm of buy one get one free, not to mention Pascal, but also Boyle?

This is the founder of modern chemistry, well, now the chemistry discipline of the Ming Dynasty is also in place.

Moreover, compared with Pascal, the arrival of Boyle can directly lead to a revolution in military science and technology.

Because of his guidance, Boyle could have developed mercury thunderate more than 100 years earlier, and with mercury thunderate, there would be a primer, and with forging technology, paper shell fixed ammunition could evolve into metal bullet case fixed ammunition, and front-loading rifles could evolve into rear-loading rifles, which would be a revolutionary progress.

Then, smokeless gunpowder can be made.

When smokeless gunpowder came out, modern firearms in the true sense of the word were introduced, and by that time, even heavy machine guns were no longer a luxury.

Thinking of this, Chongzhen's eyes became eager.

Boyle's unexpected arrival made all of this suddenly possible.

Otherwise, only those craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty who knew what it was but didn't know why, could they make mercury thunderate and smokeless gunpowder in the Year of the Monkey? Even with his guidance, it was useless.

It can't be done by letting Chongzhen do it himself, he doesn't even know how to make nitric acid.

At that moment, Chongzhen said angrily: "Boyle, right, as long as you are willing to stay in Daming as the dean of Guozi Supervision and Chemistry, I will also grant you a fund of one million yuan, and then allocate another thousand students to you."

Boyle was overjoyed after hearing the translation, and immediately expressed his willingness to stay.

To be honest, Boyle's heart is actually quite empty, because Pascal has enjoyed a certain degree of popularity in the mathematical and physical circles, but he is still unknown in the chemical community.

If it weren't for the fact that his father died in the war, which led to the fall of his family, it would have been absolutely impossible for him to cross the ocean to come to Daming to make a living, but judging from the results, this time he came to Daming obviously came to the right place.

Boyle really didn't expect that he could be so courteous to the Ming Emperor.

However, Boyle also secretly made up his mind in his heart that he must not live up to the trust of His Majesty the Emperor.

Bumig went on to introduce the other young people, no

These names are relatively unfamiliar, Chongzhen has not even heard of any of them, but he is not disappointed, because these people have basically graduated from various universities in Europe, and they have systematically received education in modern mathematics, physics and chemistry, which is enough.

However, it is not enough to have people, but also to have ready-made subject textbooks.

At that moment, Chongzhen asked Pascal and the others, "Have you brought European university textbooks here?"

"Of course, of course." After listening to the translation, Pascal nodded again and again and said, "We have not only brought textbooks from more than a dozen universities such as the University of Paris, but also academic works and journals from nearly 50 years."

"Great! Great!" Chongzhen was overjoyed when he heard this, and there was no better result than this.

But there's an old saying that says? Misfortune and fortune are relied on, blessing and misfortune are lurking, Chongzhen was happy for less than ten seconds, and bad luck came to the door.

Gao Qiqian hurriedly walked in.

"Long live the Lord, Xuzhou Express!"

"Xuzhou?" Chongzhen's heart suddenly froze.

However, his face was unpleasant, and he said, "Wang Daban."

Wang Chengen hurriedly stepped forward and responded, "The old slave is here."

Chongzhen stretched out his hand and pointed at Pascal and the others and said, "First settle the thirty-six scholars such as Pascal and Boyle, and then live in the newly built academy, and if they have any requirements, they must try to meet them."

"Oh yes, and I'm going to have to find them an interpreter in their native language as soon as possible."

"Old slave commands." Wang Chengen complied, and asked a little eunuch behind him who could speak Portuguese to say to Pascal and the others, "Bachelors come with us."

Pascal and the others happily followed.

"Father Bumig, it's been a hard journey." Chongzhen smiled and said to Bu Mige, "I promised you the other half of the silver, and you can go to the Internal Affairs Office to get it now."

However, Bumig's primary concern was not silver.

"Your Majesty, the Wise and Great Emperor, you know that I don't value silver."

Bu Mige said with a humble face: "Before leaving, you promised me to allow me to preach freely in Daming."

"Of course, of course." Chongzhen smiled and said, "From now on, you can preach freely in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, if anyone dares to obstruct you, you come back and tell me, and I will advocate for you."

However, in his heart, he secretly said that there must be no problem with free mission.

But religion can only be religion, and do not think about secular power.

You don't have to think about things like replacing the law and changing customs.

"God, Your Majesty, Emperor, you are so wise, too great, and so generous."

Bu Mige praised more and more humbly: "It is really a blessing for the Ming Dynasty to have an emperor like you."

"Father Bumig, you're overrated." Chongzhen smiled, and then said, "Tonight, I will set up a feast in the Meixiang Building at the head of Wuding Bridge to pick up Pascal and wash the dust, and you must come too."

"Mei Xiang Lou?" Bu Mige said with a sad face, "Your Majesty the Emperor, can you change places?"

"Ah, I forgot you're a Catholic." Chongzhen smiled and patted his head, although Catholicism was filthy, not only nuns, but also children, but Bu Mige seemed to be an exception, and immediately said with a smile, "Okay, then Liubiju, you first find an inn to settle down, and then go directly to it."

In the cardinal's dream, Bumig turned away.

Only then did Chongzhen ask Gao Qiqian: "Gao Companion, what about the urgent delivery?"

Gao Qiqian hurriedly handed over the letter, and handed the dagger at the same time.

Chongzhen took a dagger to cut through the fire paint and took out the letter from inside.

Just by glancing at it, Chongzhen's face became gloomy.

……

At this time, in Yutai County, Gunzhou, Shandong, a Jiannu cavalry was eating in the ice and snow.

This Jiannu cavalry is about more than 100 horses, and it can be seen from the style of the armor that it is inlaid with yellow flags, and the leader is inlaid with yellow flags.

Jiannu ate wheat rice and meatloaf.

this

The food is very good.

But there was a hint of worry on Ao Bai's face.

Because the rations carried with the army have been almost eaten.

Someone was sent to Dongchang Mansion to urge food, but Duoduo said that the follow-up rations had not yet arrived.

Ao Bai knew very well in his heart that Duo Duo was actually deliberately making it difficult to set the yellow flag, unless he Ao Bai could bow his allegiance to the Nine Kings and Ten Kings like Zhang Jing or Ezhen of the other banners, otherwise he didn't want to get supplies.

The Yellow Flag Gushan Ezhen Baiyintu persuaded him to recognize the situation, otherwise there would be no good fruit to eat.

But even if he starves to death in battle, he will not bow his allegiance to Dorgon.

So now, Ao Bai can only hope to snatch rations from the hands of the people of Xuzhou.

However, after a few days of testing, the situation is very unoptimistic, the "people" of Xuzhou are far more difficult to deal with than they expected, the people here do not know whether it is because of the war the year before last, actually built a large number of walled forts, these walled forts not only have strong rammed earth walls, but also have very complete defense facilities.

The fort is surrounded by a moat, and only the main entrance is accessible.

There are also antlers under the trenches, and if they fall, they will be pierced.

There are battlements and arrow towers on the walls of the fort, and there are even strong men patrolling and guarding them.

A well-guarded fort like this cannot be defeated at all unless a large army is mobilized.

But this time, the troops were sent out to fight in small groups of cavalry of various banners, so they could only look at the walled fort and Xinghan, and watch the smoke rise from the walled fort but there was nothing to do.
