Chapter 46: Filial Piety (Collect, Read, Everything!) )

Long Huamin and the others shuddered, and always felt that this person was very handsome and had an extremely soft smile, but how could it make people feel crazy?

"Please come, it has taken a lot of effort, and I ask you to cooperate sincerely."

The treacherous voice came from the shadows of the lobby, and all the missionaries shuddered.

Everyone didn't dare to look into the shadows, only to see a terrible father-in-law sitting, his eyes piercing people's hearts, the folds on his face trembled slightly, and his heartbeat was about to disappear for a second.

A stunned blushing neck shouted: "Robbing and blackmailing us, I want to ask for an explanation!"

"Huh?"

The father-in-law stood up, and the whole person was angry.

A group of brocade guards and plainclothes thugs ran out of the backyard, surrounding the courtyard to the lobby.

The stunned blue face turned white, and said obediently: "Blessed are the hard-working people, I am willing to cooperate."

Long Huamin secretly said in his heart: "This spineless Venetian really shouldn't let him join the Society of Jesus and come to Ming to do things!"

The stunned young man seemed to know that Long Huamin would think like this, and pointed back: "This Sicilian is the leader, he knows the most, and his words carry the heaviest weight."

"You Venetian merchant, you are like this!"

"You Milan hugging your thighs, don't interject!"

"You Neapolitan conservative ......"

"You Florentine ...... of the Difference"

"Italy......" Wang Hongyu suddenly spoke, shaking his head as he spoke.

"If you are like this, Italy will always have a civil war, and then none of your expectations will be realized...... Wang Hongyu pointed out the problem directly, quieting most of the missionaries.

One of them replied: "I Italy has its own national conditions, so I don't need to be pointed at by the Ming people." ”

"Hmph~ The descendants of Rome are like you?"

The Neapolitan said directly: "I dare to say that I am Rome, and now Rome is still there, and the Pope lives there." ”

"Stupid! The Roman Empire he is talking about, not the Roman City, the Roman Empire is long gone, you despicable Viking descendant. The Venetian squirted.

"You disgusting profiteer's family, the Roman Empire is still there. Sacred! Rome! Imperial! HRE is good. "The Sicilians identify with the HRE.

"The HRE is neither sacred, nor Roman, nor Empire, Roman orthodoxy is in Greece, and it is the last testimony of the Roman Emperor's friendliness to the Pope in my Florence."

A Florentine said that Byzantium was the Roman Orthodox and that he had come to Florence to communicate with Byzantium before the fall of Byzantium.

"Byzantium has been extinct for more than 100 years, and the current Rome is in Tsarist Russia, and that is the descendant of Byzantium, inheriting the orthodox culture of Rome."

"None of them are right!"

A voice with a different accent than just now said, "Green Luo is Luo!" Midorira has an inland sea and a strait, but Shinra doesn't have any! ”

This Green Luo was precisely the Ottoman Empire that destroyed Byzantium, and the Ottomans were almost the opponents of most countries in Europe.

"This is blasphemy!"

"It's a big rebellion!"

The rest of the missionaries turned red with rage, and they all turned to glare at him.

Belch...... It's that Frenchman!!

"Harm~"

"No wonder~"

"You can do whatever you want~Bring filial piety~"

Everyone is filial piety, and they all understand it~

It's okay if you don't understand, anyway, France and Ottomans are "iron-blooded allies" who are long-distance and close-quarters, and of course they are the kind that can be sold at any time.

Long Huamin's eyes flashed with a hint of deep meaning, and he calmed himself down a little and said:

"Your Excellency can disturb our minds with a few words, shall you say that you are a wizard or a demon? I've seen through it, and we're not going to quarrel with each other anymore. ”

"I reluctantly accept the genius, but the demon has someone else."

Wang Hongyu smiled and waved his hand, and Li Tiezhu came in with a chiming bell and placed it on the table in front of the missionary.

"What does this mean? This bell is not our ......," one preacher asked, confused.

"Take this clock apart, and there's a secret letter inside."

Long Huamin thought for a moment, looked at the clamps, brushes, small hammers and other tools placed next to him, and directly disassembled them. He dismantled very slowly, after all, this work is not done very often, so every step is very detailed.

Li Tiezhu watched each step carefully, it doesn't matter if he hasn't disassembled it, this is not a hands-on demonstration, it will be enough to practice a few more times in a while.

After a while, the chiming clock was opened, and there was a neatly folded piece of paper inside, which gradually unfolded from a small square to a paper nine times the size of the paper, which was the secret letter just mentioned.

This is!

Long Huamin and other missionaries all gathered around, staring wide-eyed.

The letter read, in Chinese: "A group of people claiming to be Dutch, from the Dutch East India Company, say that you are all wicked people, murdering witches, slaughtering cats, and burning scientists...... I hope that the Ming will expel you and replace you entirely with the Dutch. ”

Not only that, but a vignette was drawn in the corner of the letter, showing a group of priests surrounding a burning stake, on which a man was burned. The illustration also has a name: Burning Bruno.

In an instant, the seven missionaries were petrified in place, each in a cold sweat, and then red and trembling with anger.

The Netherlands, which was about the same size as the Netherlands, were in opposition to Spain, the HRE, Italy, and the Papal forces in Europe.

At this time, the Spaniards had been initially repelled and the East India Company was opened to compete exclusively for the markets of Spain and Portugal.

They are Protestants, so they are very critical and hostile to the Roman side, and they have an endless relationship with the Jesuits, the Pope's descendants. The Jesuits did not hesitate to invest manpower and material resources in the East, so as to take precautions against the Netherlands and other regions in advance, and to preemptively proselytize and fight for the East.

These two purposes are also divided into two factions within the Society of Jesus.

The more stubborn faction believes that the first task is to promote their so-called light. The other faction is more pragmatic, believing that it mainly relies on trade and science and technology to preemptively unite the East.

Long Huamin and the others were mostly in the first faction, but now they knew that their target was probably going bankrupt.

Because the Dutch came to stab them in the back.

"It's all a lie! It's the Dutch slander! The missionaries of Naples were the first to roar.

"The Dutch are a bunch of traitors, heretical and evil, don't trust them." The Spanish missionaries from Barcelona, who had not spoken much, were anxious when they heard about the Netherlands.

A few more missionaries denied it outright, but they had no confidence when they said it.

They are already black households, and the Dutch people have stabbed them in the back again, and I am afraid that they will be invited out of the Ming Dynasty soon.

Wang Hongyu wanted to take advantage of this general trend to make these Italian and Iberian missionaries compromise and change their attitude towards the Ming Dynasty, so that he could pick up more wool from them.
