Chapter 313: The envoy from Taixi returned to Beijing, bringing only a bunch of books

Of course, Kong Wenyin knows the benefits of Yan Shenggong, but this name, Kong Wenyin really doesn't want to memorize it, the break between the Southern Sect and the Northern Sect dates back to nearly three hundred years ago, and the Southern Sect gave the title to the Northern Sect, and since then, the Southern Sect does not want to have a dime relationship with the Northern Sect!

If you want a wooden statue, I can give it to you, but if you let me follow your family, then Nankong will never want to.

After the Northern Sect surrendered to Hu Yuanxiu and surrendered the table, the Southern Sect had long since denied the relative of the Northern Sect.

Kong Wenyin rejected the name of Yan Shenggong, and the prestige of Nanzong immediately reached its peak, and the untouchables once again touted Nanzong, even if Kong Wenyin was outside the Xi'an Gate, scolding them for being bloody, but as Kong Wenyin said, the Confucians need a high-raised virtual Confucian saint to endorse the sins they do, just like in the world of Taixi, those priests always like to play with little boys while praying.

Zhu Yijun came to the busy June, and every June, it was the day when Zhu Yijun wanted to meet with foreign envoys, because it was the frequent arrival period of Daming Seaport.

Antonio's ship docked at the new port of Matsue at the end of May, and it was a great pity that a five-masted ship did not survive the terrible waves of the Atlantic Ocean and sank forever in the endless sea, but Antonio still placed a large order in Matsue to buy a new five-masted ship.

Antonio is a very experienced captain, in such waves, if it was the Spanish galleon in the past, all of them would have been wrecked, how could only one of them be sunk? Daming's ships withstood the test of monstrous waves in terms of safety.

Antonio docked at Xingang again, and there were some special people on the ship, they were the messenger of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Fan, the rebel of Xu Jie, and Gao Qiyu, the rebel of Zhang Juzheng, these two people took a team of more than 30 people to participate in the big travel in Taixi, and officially returned to their homeland in June of the sixth year of Wanli.

On the fifth day of the fifth month of the sixth year of Wanli, the Ming Dynasty received a letter of alliance treaty with the seal of the king of Shunyi of Altan Khan, Zhu Yijun took advantage of the harsh conditions put forward by Qi Jiguang, and was fully accepted by Altan Khan, lest the Ming Dynasty grasp the matter of him sending troops to Yingchang, Zhu Yijun did not see the messenger of Altan Khan, because this time it was not Mrs. Zhongshun who entered Beijing.

According to the intelligence of the Marquis of Duntai, Altan Khan has fallen out with the third lady because of the death of his eldest son Sangge, although he is still harmonious on the surface, but it has almost reached the point where the enemy meets and is extremely red-eyed, everyone knows that the death of the monk is not an accident, everyone knows that the death of the monk is inextricably linked with the third lady, Altan Khan also knows, but Altan Khan can't tear his face with the third lady.

The position of the Ming Dynasty is very clear, the Ming court is more inclined to the reconciliation plan proposed by the three ladies, and is more inclined to support the three ladies, rather than Altan Khan, the king of Shunyi, Altan Khan is old and confused and has been unstable.

All the iron pots, salt, and tea of Altan Khan's right-wing departments were supplied by Sanniangzi, and all the wool business of the right-wing was carried out by Sanniangzi's people who were responsible for communicating with Daming, including pricing. In order to do this, the third lady even gave her sister to the Honglu Temple Qing Chen Society, so that the channel for dialogue was opened before she could enter Beijing to meet.

Altan Khan grasps most of the military power, and the third lady grasps the financial power, because of the financial power and obtained a part of the military power, as well as the vast majority of political power, Mrs. Zhongshun has now almost put Altan Khan in the air, if Altan Khan knows that there is today, he will regret the conquest of the Warat Department when he saw the mood.

Altan Khan's right wing is now in a fierce conflict at the top, like sitting on a powder keg, waiting for the day when it will be ignited.

The Tatar suzerain, the Great Khan of the Tuman, and the Tumen have been really bitter recently.

In the spring, the elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty gathered in Yingchang built a military village, and then there were signs of mobilization, and the Tuman Khan could only raise and make preparations with both hands, continue to advance westward or fight with Qi Jiguang again, the news that the Ming army is still going to march has a nose and eyes, after all, Tan Lun, the secretary of the Ming Dynasty, also arrived at Yingchang Mansion, and as a result, a spring was transmitted, and Qi Jiguang also nested in Yingchang, and he didn't move.

Tuban Khan had to prepare to meet Qi Jiguang's expedition, which naturally delayed production and life, and was the left wing who fled the famine, and life was even more miserable, coupled with the battle of Yingchang, the loss of troops and generals, for a time more and more people fled from the left wing departments, some fled to Altan Khan, and some fled to Datong Xuanfu, after all, Datong Xuanfu Hu and Han lived together, and ran in to wait for the Ming Emperor to amnesty the world and become a Ming person.

The most outrageous is the one who fled to Yingchang Mansion!

Yingchang Mansion is the place where Qi Jiguang is personally stationed, did he run over to send him to death? But nearly 20,000 people fled to Yingchang, Qi Jiguang and others were also a little confused, the tiger was hunting on the grassland, and the prey fled for a period of time and suddenly turned around to take refuge, the tiger also had to hesitate, and finally figured out the reason, which was all blamed on Hou Zhao.

When Hou Yuzhao was in Zhangwu Tuntian, the land suitable for cultivation was reclaimed, and the land not suitable for cultivation was herded with sheep, but the sheep herded were needed, these Hu people were good at herding sheep, and Hou Yuzhao made these Hu people into households, that is to say, if they participated in the reclamation, they could take fewer detours, and they did not have to wait for the Ming Emperor's amnesty, and directly obtained the identity of the Ming Dynasty!

Qi Jiguang knew the whole story, and he couldn't laugh or cry, so he could only accept these people in batches.

Qi Jiguang's switch lets people in, and the days of Tuman Khan are even more miserable!!

Because more people ran to Yingchang to take refuge, this time the Tuban Khan lost more than 10,000 people, this head was guarded against by the right wing, and the head Qi Jiguang was sharpening his knife Huohuo, and he was splinted by the two ends of the Tuban Khan, his heart was horizontal, his feet were stamped, and he directly sent his eldest son Buyan to the Beijing Division to meet him, not so much to negotiate peace, but to surrender.

Tuman Khan was going to surrender, he planned to look at the surrender conditions given by the Ming Dynasty, if he didn't let him die, he would surrender directly.

On June 15, the sixth year of Wanli, Xu Fan, Gao Qiyu, Antonio and others arrived at Tianjin Wei on a hydrofoil sailboat, Taixi's special envoy Li Yashi went to Tianjin Wei to pick up Antonio into Beijing, and Zhu Yijun met Xu Fan and Gao Qiyu on June 16 in the Wenhua Palace.

The changes in Daming are really, very big, Xu Fan returned to Songjiang Mansion and wanted to go home, but he was told that his home was gone, which scared Xu Fan enough, until he learned the details, he didn't know that he had moved a rich family to Beijing.

After entering Beijing, Xu Fan, when he arrived in Tongzhou, he saw the houses stretching from Chaoyangmen to Tongzhou, as far as the eye could see, and the official road post road from Tongzhou to Chaoyangmen was also hardened on the ground, and the word prosperity jumped into Xu Fan's mind for the first time.

Compared with the city-states that have been seen in the past few years of Taixi's great travel, the city of Daming is completely a behemoth, and a million big cities will inevitably have all kinds of problems, and in order to face these new problems, the yamen at all levels of the Ming Dynasty can be described as busy and dizzy.

Zhu Yijun only let Xuan meet Xu Fan and Gao Qiyu at the first time.

"Ministers to see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live." Xu Fan and Gao Qiyu led a delegation of more than 30 people to the palace to meet them.

Zhu Yijun stretched out his hand and said with a smile on his face: "No courtesy, flat body." ”

"The ministers have returned from Taixi, and there are navigation notes to offer, and please look at them." Xu Fan and Gao Qiyu took out a heavy nautical notebook from their sleeves, Zhu Yijun got two notebooks, and smelled a scent of ink.

"Originally?" Zhu Yijun closed the two notebooks, and Zhu Yijun wanted to see the originals.

Xu Fan and Gao Qiyu's travel notes and navigation notes are sent to Beijing every year by galleon, so these have been copied a long time ago.

Xu Fan and Gao Qiyu glanced at each other, and Xu Fan bowed his head and said, "At the Huitong Pavilion." ”

"Feng Daban, go get it." Zhu Yijun wants to see the original, so Xu Fan and Gao Qiyu can't help but let His Majesty see it.

When Feng Bao went to get the original, Zhu Yijun talked to Xu Fan and Gao Qiyu about Taixi's experiences, and there were laughter and tragedy in these experiences.

The mission of thirty people returned a total of thirty people, but some of them came back in clothes, and they met robbers on the way, and those who were broken could not even find their bones, and some of them came back with ashes, and in some conflicts, these horsemen faithfully fulfilled their duty of protection, but also died in a foreign land.

Only twelve people from the entire mission returned to Daming alive.

"The rebellion in the Netherlands was successful, and Spain, known as the empire on which the sun never sets, failed to suppress the endless rebellions in the Netherlands, and after a big defeat, they could only retreat to the big city, waiting for reinforcements from Spain itself, but unfortunately, they were afraid that they would not be able to wait for reinforcements, because Spain itself was facing the threat of the Ottomans, whether by sea or land." Xu Fan focused on the resistance movement in the Lower Netherlands.

Xu Fan and Gao Qiyu both stayed in the Netherlands for no more than a month before they immediately diverted to England, but the riots in the Netherlands were too violent and too dangerous.

Large-scale iconoclasm broke out in the cities of Antwerp, The Hague and Utrecht, and the townspeople stormed churches and monasteries, smashed all the icons they could see, confiscated their property, burned their claims and title deeds, and destroyed more than 5,500 churches, monasteries and inquisitions throughout the Netherlands by the time they left.

Spain's repressive rule in the Netherlands was achieved through the Church, which would lend a large amount of debt, which was a tool for the meat eaters to annex, and the bloody edict was one of the sources of resistance.

The bloody edict was a belief in Calvinism in the Netherlands, which was considered heretical by the Holy See, and all Calvinists were heretics and would be thrown into the Inquisition to be put to death.

Heresy is a basket into which anything can be filled, and in order to collect money, there are not many real heretics among these people arrested by these inquisitions, and hundreds of thousands of Dutch people have died of this crime.

The revolt was widespread and violent, and the Netherlands fought for more than ten years and still did not finish.

"The minister heard on the road that His Majesty had arrested the Yansheng Mansion and its minions into Beijing, and the minister thought that the Netherlands had learned from the past, and the deal should be decisive." Xu Fan's special talk about the Netherlands is an attitude, he just came back, and his political position is not clear, so after talking about what he has seen, he directly expressed his attitude.

Yanzhou Confucius, should be killed.

"According to Aiqing, there is no difference between this Yanzhou Confucian Mansion and this Taixi Inquisition?" Zhu Yijun thought for a moment and asked.

Xu Fan was silent, bowed his head and said: "The minister is stupid, I can't see any difference between them, they are all well-dressed beasts." ”

Clothing, a representative of etiquette, a symbol of power, the quality of clothing can be seen at a glance his class, and the beast, the original meaning is not to scold, it is said that the Ming Dynasty civil and military have complements, such as the super unicorn Bai Ze, etc., and the civil official's chest is a bird, and the complement on the military attachΓ©'s chest is a beast.

The word well-dressed beast is wonderful, it is attacking the social phenomenon of the Ming Dynasty, civil officials love money, military attaches are afraid of death, oppress the people, do all kinds of evil, the people regard the officials who are dressed as beasts, they are well-dressed beasts.

This word appeared in the "Golden Lotus Chronicle" in the sixth year of Wanli, a legendary script, a total of thirty-six times.

It's a very precise word.

Feng Bao took the original back to the Wenhua Palace, these manuscripts are very messy, and even the handwriting on them is messy, some of the ink is blood, because the red is very abnormal, and I don't know if it is human blood or animal blood, obviously in Taixi's days, Xu Fan and Gao Qiyu, life is not very smooth, even ink can't be guaranteed, they can only figure out their own way.

There are still some differences between the original and the manuscript, for example, some of Xu Fan's thoughts about the Taixi system were not included in the manuscript, and apparently the officials of the Ministry of Rites who were responsible for transcribing thought that these contents were not suitable for the Ming Dynasty.

"The minister brought back many, many books from Taixi, including "The Structure of the Human Body" on anatomy, "On Venous Valves" on blood circulation, "On the Movement of Heart and Blood", "On the Development of Learning" on Gewu, "On Metals" and "On Mineral Smelting" on mining and metallurgy, and so on." Gao Qiyu bowed his head and said.

When he returned to Daming this time, Gao Qiyu brought with him nearly 3,000 volumes of books, all of which he had purchased in Naples, and these books were extremely expensive even in the local area, and he only obtained them after selling the only official robe he had woven with silk.

Anatomy of the Human Body, by Vesalius.

Born in Brussels (the headquarters of the European Union) on the banks of the Seine, Vessarus has been a court apothecary for generations, and Veisarius has a great interest in human anatomy, and often goes to some unclaimed cemeteries in the suburbs for dissection, stealing corpses for autopsy; He also risked being caught and killed to steal the bodies of criminals under the gallows.

Eventually, "The Anatomy of the Human Body" was published, but the Holy See did not allow this deviant book to exist because of a serious conflict with the doctrine.

For example, in mythological stories, men have one less rib than women, because in mythological stories, women are men's ribs, and "Human Anatomy" clearly shows that men and women have exactly the same number of ribs;

For example, in mythological stories, it is said that there is a resurrection bone in the human body that is not afraid of fire and does not decay, and this resurrection bone is the support of the human skeleton and the key to the resurrection of God after three days, while "Human Anatomy" indicates that anatomy does not support the existence of resurrection bones;

For example, both the East and the West agree that the heart is the place where life, feelings, and thoughts move, but anatomy has found that the brain and nervous system are the places where these higher activities take place.

"Human Anatomy" provides a detailed introduction to the human skeletal system, muscular system, blood system, nervous system, digestive system, blood circulation of the heart, brain, etc.

The book was brutally banned by the Holy See when it first appeared, and Vesalius was sentenced to death by the Inquisition, and then the Spanish royal family mediated and mediated, and Vesalius was exiled and finally died on the island of Zant.

Vesarius died, but The Anatomy of the Human Body survived.

Gao Qiyu said with a strange face: "Your Majesty, the minister has always heard a legend in Taixi, that is, there is an ancient civilization in the vast ocean, his name is Daxi Kingdom, Daxi Continent or Atlantis, this ancient civilization was destroyed in the prehistoric flood, and there is a place in this Great West Country where there is Solomon's Palace. ”

"And this palace of Solomon is the Academy of Sciences, under the leadership of Solomon's palace, the rapid development of technology, the rapid increase of production rate, people have no worries about food and clothing, material abundance to the extreme, everyone is humble and loving to each other."

"The minister returned to Daming, and heard that His Majesty had prepared a place called the Royal Gewu Academy, which was dedicated to the infinite principle of all things, and the minister was shocked."

In Taixi, Solomon's Palace is an ethereal myth and legend, while in the Ming Dynasty, the Royal Gewu Academy is real, and it is really improving the process, such as lifting water, such as coal mining, such as weaving, such as vehicles and ships, etc.

Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "I have heard of this story, Li Yashi once peddled such a story, but it was just to secretly rub and preach to me, I thought it was interesting, I felt that it was not impossible, so I did it, in fact, Daming does have so many talents, and also has the ability to gather heroes from all over the world to promote the study of the infinite truth of all things." ”

Royal Gewuyuan, when Zhu Zaiyu first entered Beijing, Zhu Yijun had already been tempted to get one, a place specifically for Zhu Zaiyu to cultivate scientific talents in the Ming Dynasty, and later Li Yashi and Chen Xuexue communicated with each other, and told this story, Zhu Yijun just took advantage of this reason, willfully used the emperor's privileges to complete the construction of the Ming Royal Gewuyuan.

Now, these are all myths in Taixi, but Zhu Yijun has the ability to make myths a reality.

In the eyes of a devout believer like Li Yashi, there is not much difference between the Ming Emperor and the Trinity God, the only difference is that the Ming Emperor will really not be resurrected in three days.

"I will set up a special department for the two of you in the Gewu Academy, translating the works imported by Taixi, and the content of those religions is not necessary, so I will pick some useful translations, and by the way, I will confirm them to the Xie Yuan and the Gewu Yuan to ensure accuracy." Zhu Yijun handed the large pile of books in his hand to Zhang Hong.

At that time, Tang Sanzang went to the West Heaven to learn scriptures, and after returning to the Tang Dynasty, he translated Buddhism in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and today Xu Fan and Gao Qiyu went to Taixi to exchange and study, and brought back a large number of books, among which there are many, many books, which are books that Antonio did not bring to Daming.

If what Antonio brought into the Ming Dynasty was Hinayana Buddhism, then what Xu Fan and Gao Qiyu brought back to the Ming Dynasty was Mahayana Buddhism.

Spain and Portugal were isolated from the Great Travels because of their beliefs, so there was a problem with cultural exchanges, and there were many books that appeared in heretical places, not in Spain and Portugal, where the Inquisition was everywhere.

And Xu Fan and Gao Qiyu's identities are the messengers of the Ming Dynasty, but they have not been rejected, such as the book of the Theory of Mental Movement, that is, when Xu Fan and Gao Qiyu were in London, an old London scholar was peddling around, but no one cared about the degree, Gao Qiyu bought only seventy-two pages of the Theory of Mental Movement, and the more he looked at it, the more frightened he became!

There is still so much knowledge in this blood!

Zhu Yijun promised to give Xu Fan and Gao Qiyu a place to concentrate on translating imported works, which was to give them an identity, a doctor from the Gewu Academy.

As soon as he entered the Gewu Academy and became a doctor, he was a person who jumped out of the five elements, was not in the Three Realms, and had no cause or effect.

Xu Fan is Xu Jie's eldest son, and Xu Jie's sin has no cause and effect with Xu Fan.

The price of entering the Gewu Academy is: from now on, it has nothing to do with the official career, the president of the Gewu Academy is the imperial uncle Zhu Zaiyu, as the imperial uncle Zhu Zaiyu If he has a little interest in politics, Zhu Yijun as the emperor will definitely not tolerate Zhu Zaiyu, the imperial uncle of the Ming Dynasty, and he must be interested in politics, that is the potential stock of rebellion.

After all, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, as the emperor's uncle, succeeded in his rebellion.

Xu Fan and Gao Qiyu were able to get the status of doctors of Gewuyuan, which is also an excellent result for them, they are no longer a combination of scholars and bureaucrats, but simple scholars.

The Ming Dynasty is declining, the etiquette is broken, and this aspect has a great relationship, the Ming scholars are not pure, they are usually highly bound to the bureaucracy, overlapping, which has caused a terrible fact, that is, the Ming Dynasty's scholarship has come to a halt, the bureaucracy itself is very busy, unless it can climb to the level of the administrative officer, otherwise the administrative officer is busy with mundane things, how can there be time to study academics?

The place of Gewuyuan, which is not among the five elements, distinguishes the dual identity.

In fact, there was such a place in the Ming Dynasty before, that is, the doctors of the Five Classics of the Hanlin Academy, they are also responsible for the academic progress of the Ming Dynasty, and the virtue of the saints, but the doctors of the Five Classics of the Hanlin Academy cannot perform this function.

If you want to derive the virtues of the saints, you must practice, but the knowledge of the doctors of the Five Classics is excellent, and the practice is zero, so the virtues of the saints will stagnate.

And Gewuyuan cut off the bureaucratic attributes from the beginning, cutting the bureaucratic attributes, does not mean that it is completely deadministrative, Gewuyuan Gewu Doctor, but a serious five-grade official, and the head of the Gewu Yuan is a serious two products, the real master of the Gewu Academy is the Ming Emperor.

This means that Dr. Gewuyuan is a staff member of the Ming Emperor.

The election system of the Ming Dynasty is not only the imperial examination system, but also the grace system, the hereditary military medal system, the inspection system, and even the courtesy appointment system, such as the Ming Dynasty cabinet elders are the emperor's courtesy, the marquis worships the prime minister, and the cabinet elders also have etiquette when they enter the cabinet, and the emperor also has to be courteous.

The hereditary military medals and courteous cabinet elders are actually the emperor's own staff, and under the imperial system, the staff is greater than the official body and more than the officials.

"Thanksgiving." Gao Qiyu and Xu Fan once again gave a big salute and thanked him, which means that as long as he does not participate in the court politics, he will not be easily affected by the court's dumping, of course, the emperor himself has changed his nature, and he is not willing to continue to prosper the Ming Dynasty, slack, and wants to surrender, that round of earth-shaking dumping will still affect the Gewuyuan, and even the Gewuyuan itself will be razed to the ground.

Zhu Yijun began to announce that Antonio, the captain of Tessie, had a great appetite this time, and he seemed to be planning to set up his own door.

"Chancellor Antonio, meet Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live." Antonio's entry line is the Ming Dynasty's five prostrations and three prostrations.

"Tessie's envoy Le Yashi, meet Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live." Li Ya also practiced kneeling, he did not salute the minister, but blurred treatment, and did not bow five times and kowtow three times.

Li Yashi was a courtier of the Spanish royal family, a believer in the supreme power of the Ming Emperor, and a renegade who reneged on his promise to serve the Lord without marriage for life.

"I beg His Majesty, the wise and great Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, to give me a total of twelve five-masted ships, I swear, these twelve five-masted ships, no matter at any time, will not aim their guns at the Ming Dynasty, I still need six thousand strong sailors and soldiers, I beg the merciful and great Majesty, to grant the minister's humble request." Antonio knelt on the ground and bowed his head.

Antonio wants so many ships, so many people, with only one purpose, to rebel, he wants to be the king of Portugal, he has the support of the commoners, but he does not have the support of the nobles, and the nobles control the army, Antonio needs the support of the Ming Emperor.

"Felipe II's defeat in the Netherlands has made your ambitions impatient." Zhu Yijun said very calmly: "I hope you can calm down, as a monarch killer, your reign will be extremely short, the pure Enrique is still alive, you don't have to be so anxious." ”

"Enrique the Pure is very old, Your Majesty, the ministers have no time." Antonio knelt on the ground and said loudly: "The Great Ming Sailor is very heroic, but it takes time to become familiar with the battlefield if you want to fight. ”

Zhu Yijun thought for a long time and shook his head and said: "I have already felt your anxiety, twelve five-masted ships, I can promise you or lend you money, but I can't promise you, give you 6,000 sailors and soldiers." ”

"You said it yourself, it takes time to get used to the battle, I don't want the Ming soldiers to go to Taixi to adventure, the sailor is my soldier, the Ming soldier, and the son of their parents, the father of their children, I can't promise you anyway, the soldier goes to Taixi to adventure."

Antonio looked at His Majesty silently, this greedy tyrannosaurus, in the face of huge interests, was still the first to scruple about the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, he thought seriously for a long time and said: "This... I implore Daming to send sailors to inspect it, my supporters are all civilians. ”

"Naturally, the instructor can." Zhu Yijun agreed to this matter, sent a small number of instructors for training, and Zhu Yijun could afford the subsidy for leaving home thousands of miles away, Zhu Yijun asked with a smile: "So, what benefits can I get?" ”

Ask for a monthly pass, woohoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
