Chapter Eighty-Four: The Steam Maiden, Jeanne! (below)

Guo Kang really didn't have much hope for his theological level, so he had to work with Zhu Wenkui to appease Jeanne.

When several people next to her saw her like this, they asked Li Xuanying, who knew Chinese. Li Xuanying said that this was because religious issues had caused disputes, so that everyone should not worry about it and just continue to prepare artillery.

Elsewhere, religious disputes can be a big problem, but here are a few people who have long been used to it. When even Jeska heard this, she just looked sympathetically at the little girl who was said to be a princess, crossed it, and hurried away.

"I didn't mean to, either." Guo Kang tried to explain: "I have always heard people say that theology and science are opposites, and philosophy is also the object of theological oppression......"

"Who told you?" Jeanne was angry: "There are so many ideas in the church, and most people don't care about these at all. Who says that philosophy, especially natural philosophy, cannot be studied? The Inquisition is not as strict as yours. ”

"Didn't you say, 'Philosophy is the handmaiden of theology' or something?" Guo Kang said weakly.

"That's Bishop Damian's opinionβ€”you know that." Jeanne was a little surprised: "Then do you know the background and intention of what he said this?" ”

"Uh......"

"Do you know the concept of the 'Seven Arts,' the Church-driven cathedral schools, and the revival of liberal arts education?" She asked.

"Ah......h

Guo Kang had probably heard a little about it, but he really hadn't thought about it.

"Do you know that the 'first scholastic philosopher' Anselmo and his ontological proof of the Father? Have you learned about Damian's active Garmadana and de-secularization ideas? Do you know why there was anti-Aristotelianism at that time? ”

"This ......"

This is beyond Guo Kang's knowledge.

"Do you know about Latin Averroism? Do you know the theory of double truth? Have you seen Dr. Thomas Aquinas's extension of this statement? Do you know the influence of these theories and dialectical methods on the Neoplato and Austenism of that era? Jeanne blurted out a whole bunch of nouns.

"Ah......" This time it's Guo Kang's turn to have a big head.

"Hey, the mass-produced waste of the Sorbonne Seminary is worth calling a master." Jeanne let out a long sigh of relief, and in passing despised the theological scholars of the University of Paris.

"Isn't he completely unseen, and you can't blame him." Zhu Wenkui saw that Guo Kang had already heard stupidly, so he hurriedly said: "Actually, I don't understand these either." ”

"Then what kind of theology do you have?" Jeanne said helplessly: "I know why he has a weak heart." ”

"Isn't it because the idea is too heretical?" Zhu Wenkui asked.

"You're talking heresy again in the Purple Horde." Jeanne was speechless: "Moreover, the real heretics will not be weak - those heretics have their own theories, and they are all very confident, thinking that their own ideas are the truth." You see, how can he have this level. ”

"Is that so?" Zhu Wenkui obviously didn't understand either.

"He's not a heretic or a heretic anymore, not even an unbeliever or a cultist." Jeanne judged: "He just doesn't take God seriously at all." ”

"Ah, this...... Do gentlemen worship ghosts and gods and stay away? Zhu Wenkui began to play haha, trying to perfunctory: "When sacrificing, just be sincere, and you don't have to worry about it every day, right?" ”

"What a laugh, you too!" Jeanne reprimanded.

"Uh......"

"I asked him so much and he would answer 'ah'." Jeanna looked quite resentful, and turned her head to look at Guo Kang: "I still need to ask you this kind of answer?" When I asked Nurhachi, I got the same answer. ”

She patted the wild boar next to her: "Do you know what I said? ”

"Hum β€”β€”?" Nurhachi was suddenly struck and turned his head in confusion, looking a little confused.

"Look." Jeanne stretched out her hands: "The complexity of the answer is about the same." It's a few more syllables. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

was identified as a theological level and a level of Nurhachi, which made Guo Kang quite devastated.

"It's okay, it's okay, you don't have to worry about it." Zhu Wenkui tried to mediate: "It's not to blame Guo Gongzi. You don't usually need these things, do you? ”

"I do wonder why I don't need to." Jeanne said bluntly: "I have the impression that the fanatical believers in the Orthodox region are actually no less than the Roman Catholic Church and the Heavenly Sect. Moreover, because of the decline of the Eastern Empire and the increase in foreign invasions, the scale of the civil fanatic organization is actually quite large. At the time of the civil war, those people were still entrenched in Thessaly for a long time, and the Greek dynasty itself could not do anything about them. ”

"If I'm not mistaken, the civil war that led to the Purple Horde's accession was largely religious, right?" She said.

"I've heard this from Mr. Greece as well." Zhu Wenkui nodded: "At that time, there were two popular sects, one was the 'Silent School' of the Orthodox tradition, which tended to be ascetic and mystic, hoping to communicate directly with the Heavenly Father through special rituals and prayers, and see the incarnation of the Heavenly Father, the Holy Light. ”

The other is the Valaamite, which developed under the influence of scholasticism in Western Europe. Originally from southern Italy, Valaam's theology pursued reason and logic, and did not recognize the existence of the Light. As a result, there has been conflict between the two sides. ”

"John VI was a highly educated man, a traditional Orthodox believer, a Silent believer, and a number of theological treatises. And several important figures on the side of John V were supporters of Valaam. In the end, under the accumulation of various contradictions, the two officials fought. ”

"That's not wrong." Jeanne said: "So, the Greeks at that time, like believers elsewhere, should have attached great importance to religious ideas. ”

"Both of these denominations are now in decline. Now I see that the mainstream theology is already this ...... Uh......" Zhu Wenkui thought for a moment and said, "Let's worship God here." ”

That's when I remembered. Don't they have a Greek name for their sect? Jeanne found a problem.

"Nope. The official theology of the Purple Horde has never had an official name, which is 'The Church'. Zhu Wenkui nodded: "Mr. Greece said that he doesn't know what to call it, and at present, everyone uses a common name in Chinese, so it is directly called 'God Worship'." ”

"To be honest, I'm still a little surprised that the Greeks don't care about this." Jeanne exclaimed: "What have you done to them in the past few decades......"

"Hey, whatever, it's all in the past." Zhu Wenkui obviously had no interest in these topics: "It doesn't matter what he teaches, we can just help Guo Gongzi keep Brother Steam Heaven now." ”

"That's right." Guo Kang looked at Jeanne and thought of a better way: "Otherwise, this is the case, the county lord, you come and help me and give this ...... What are we going to do with these devices, find a better theological explanation? ”

"yes, aren't you an expert?" Zhu Wenkui clapped his hands and agreed: "Guo Gongzi is afraid that people will say that we are not religious, so we might as well establish a sect directly, so that we can't say anything anymore." ”

"Isn't that more heretical...... Never mind. Jeanne wanted to refute, but after looking at them, it was estimated that they were not people who would consider heresy, so she had to say helplessly: "Then what do you say?" ”

"It's easy to do, listen to me." Zhu Wenkui already had an idea and arranged: "Father, didn't you just send a group of people recently, waiting for our feedback?" Every time this time, it is the most idle time when he happens to be not working. ”

"Is it a job or a job that doesn't work......" Thinking about Zhu Yunwen's deeds, Guo Kang muttered.

"At this time, let's go to him to get a seal, and then tell others that this is the official religion of the exiled government of King Wu of the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Wenkui was on the rise, ignoring him: "When the time comes, let Master Huang and Master Qi come up with names and write a few proclamations, and our sect will be established." ”

"After it is established, it doesn't matter whether anyone believes it or not. You see, isn't that the money coming? He looked at the two of them: "Religion and diplomacy are all accounted for, and those Greek women can come and check if they want." When the time comes, I can't find a flaw if I want to. ”

"Oh, Shizi is really smart, I didn't expect it at all!" Guo Kang was overjoyed, and looked at Jeanne again: "Then, county lord, you have a high level of theology, and you need to fool around with doctrine...... No, it's when it's propaganda for them, and we rely on you. ”

Jeanne looked a little entangled, and Guo Kang hurriedly increased: "How about we let you be the sect leader?" When the time comes, please ask King Wu to give you another official title or something, he is happy, and we are also happy, why not? ”

"What's the use of the official position he gave......" Jeanne looked at the attitude of the two, and had to agree: "Okay, okay, I'll help you." But I'll have to say it, I'll have to listen to it from now on. You two don't give orders and talk nonsense. ”

"Don't worry." Guo Kang also patted his chest and promised: "When the time comes, I promise that it will be less than Nurhachi." ”

"That's right, you're up to the cracks." Zhu Wenkui also nodded hurriedly: "As long as you keep Brother Tian, we will believe whatever you want." ”

"Okay, then I'll have to say yes." Jeanne finally nodded.

"It's finally settled!" Guo Kang was so moved, according to the habit of the Greeks, he grabbed her clothes and kissed her, and almost hugged her: "Lord Jeanna, you are my holy daughter!" ”

"You...... What are you doing! Jeanne blushed: "Get out of the way." ”

"He's just so excited." Zhu Wenkui smiled and said, "Oh, I can understand it." That's really the kind of mentality we have when we look at our results. ”

"That's right. I'm ......" Guo Kang nodded repeatedly.

He was about to continue saying something when he noticed the sound of the horse snorting next to him. looked left and right, and found that Li Xuanying and the soldiers no longer knew where to run.

Guo Kang hurriedly turned his head and saw Theodora riding on his horse, leaning over to look at him.

"Are you also researching weapons?" She stared at Guo Kang's hand that was still tugging at Jeanne's sleeve, and said with a frown.
