please make me king

"Mr. Wei, I have a question I want to ask!" Zhang Shun had a bold guess in his mind, and quickly summoned Wei Wenkui for consultation.

"Please speak, Your Majesty!" Wei Wenkui hurriedly saluted, and replied somewhat inexplicably in his heart.

It's getting dark today, why did His Majesty call me here so late?

"A few days ago, I heard Mr. Zhou Shuxue and Xing Yunlu's theories, and I was quite shocked." Zhang Shunzao couldn't hold back, and said hastily.

"It's just that I suddenly thought of a question in the past two days. Although gold, wood, water, fire, earth, and five objects all revolve around the sun, what about the earth? What's the situation on the earth?"

"Your Majesty is really talented!" Wei Wenkui couldn't help but looked at Zhang Shun with great admiration when he heard the words, and couldn't help but half-jokingly said, "If it weren't for His Majesty being the Supreme Ninth Five-Year Supreme, the grassroots couldn't help but want to accept His Majesty as a closed disciple! "

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help laughing at himself, and continued to narrate: "If according to Zhou Shuxue's point of view, the sun is the king, the moon is the queen, and they all go around the earth, and the gold, wood, water, fire, earth, and five objects go around the sun." .”

"When we got to Xingyun Road, the viewpoint changed again."

"He believes that 'the sun is the ancestor of all things', because 'the communication between the stars and the moon is all connected by the sun'!"

"That is to say, due to the 'unity of the sun', even the earth has to revolve around the sun!"

"Okay!" Zhang Shun couldn't help but jump up when he heard this.

Sure enough, Zhou Shuxue's point of view was the "Tycho system", while Xing Yunlu's point of view was the "Copernican system".

However, when Zhang Shun thought of this, he couldn't help but have another doubt in his heart.

He couldn't help laughing and asked: "Then I don't know what opinion Mister holds?"

"Caomin and Xing Yunlu are both teachers and friends. Naturally, they also think that because of the 'unity of the sun', both Wuyao and the earth revolve around the sun!"

"Oh?" Zhang Shun couldn't help but feel even more puzzled when he heard this.

Even if you agree with the "Copernican system", there is no need to be in the same boat as the missionaries who agree with the "Tycho system", right?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help asking: "Since my husband also agrees with 'Xifa', how can I have such a bad relationship with missionaries and others?"

"I agree with 'Western Law'? Where did you start?" Wei Wenkui was puzzled when he heard the words.

"Oh, isn't it that you agree with Xing Yunlu's point of view, and the missionary agrees with Zhou Shuxue's point of view?" Zhang Shun was even more surprised when he heard this.

"Where did you hear your Majesty's words?" As soon as Zhang Shun finished speaking, Wei Wenkui was more surprised than Zhang Shun.

"Although Zhou Shuxue and Xing Yunlu have different views, they are similar. They are both my Chinese law, so what's the difference?"

"If you look into it carefully, it's just that Ge Chengke holds Zhou Shuxue's point of view, and I hold Xing Yunlu's point of view."

"As for the so-called 'Western Method', 'the same as Huihui, but more precise', there is nothing surprising about it!"

Sure enough, Zhang Shun suddenly realized when he heard this.

Why did Chongzhen divide Qin Tianjian, Wei Wenkui, and missionaries into three families, and let each other check their calculations many times.

The fundamental reason is that the fundamental principles of the three calendars are different, one holds the "Tycho method", the other holds the "Copernican method", and the third holds the "Ptolemy method".

Since the "Chongzhen Almanac" presented by the missionaries was based on the Tycho system, taking into account both the Ptolemy system and the Copernican system, Zhang Shun once thought that the missionaries were adhering to the Tycho system.

Of course, when Zhang Shun confirmed that Wei Wenkui upheld the "Copernican system", he immediately understood that missionaries could not uphold the Tycho system.

Because before the arrival of Western missionaries, Chinese astronomers made little progress in the research of "Hijri".

Even a genius like Tang Shunzhi can only deduce a general idea, but there are also many fallacies.

To put it bluntly, traditional Chinese astronomers in this era have not yet mastered the Ptolemaic system, and naturally cannot uphold the views of the Ptolemaic system.

It is precisely because of this that the so-called "New Law of the Almanac" revised by the missionaries based on the "Chongzhen Almanac" did not dare to explain what views the three parties held, but instead declared that "Tycho's Law", "Copernican Law" and "Ptolemaic Law" Laws" are all new laws brought by missionaries.

The "Chongzhen Almanac" can only be presided over by the believer Xu Guangqi, and compiled with the participation of missionaries Long Huamin, Luo Yagu, Deng Yuhan, Tang Ruowang and others.

If it was put in the previous life, Zhang Shun would naturally be convinced of this.

However, in this life, Zhang Shun naturally would not trust other people's words, let alone underestimate any "project".

Such a huge project as compiling the 130-volume "Chongzhen Almanac" is a big project no matter what dynasty or generation it is in.

Just relying on Xu Guangqi and a few missionaries to complete it in just five years, isn't this a fantasy?
During this process, a lot of manpower and material resources must be mobilized, and these manpower and material resources naturally need to master a lot of new ideas and algorithms, so that they can be communicated.

However, Zhang Shun did not see any relevant training records in the Ming Dynasty archives, which further shows that the "Chongzhen Almanac" is most likely dominated by Qin Tianjian, and partly absorbed the almanacs of Wei Wenkui and "Western Method".

But the missionaries tried to take the credit of heaven for themselves, confounding black and white, and in turn slandering the Chinese calendar.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shun couldn't help but asked with a smile: "Then the "Chongzhen Almanac" was only compiled by the Western Bureau?"

"Why did your majesty say that?" Wei Wenkui became more and more puzzled when he heard the words, "The last emperor of the previous dynasty set up three bureaus, but one did not know the strengths and weaknesses of the three."

"However, the revision of the calendar is a major event for the country, so naturally the three families will cultivate together."

"After several contests, now Qin Tianjian is the leader, followed by Yu Ze!"

It turned out that although Naqin Tianjian was not as good at holding opinions as Wei Wenkui, but his manpower and material resources were extraordinary.

In the process of constant competition between the three parties, although Wei Wenkui had quite bright spots, he also made major mistakes.

Xu Guangqi, the missionaries and others were not as good as Wei Wenkui in their algorithms, and they also made major mistakes.

After so many contests, it is natural that the calculation results are more stable, and the Qin Tianjian side with fewer errors has the upper hand.

In this way, the so-called "Tycho system" naturally occupied a dominant position in the "Chongzhen Almanac", while the "Copernican system" and "Ptolemaic system" were squeezed out to a secondary position.

However, because of this incident, Zhang Shun suddenly became vigilant.

Since the "Zhou Shuxue System" and "Xing Yunlu System" can become the "Tycho System" and "Copernican System", how much of traditional China has been "stolen" by these people?

Thinking of this, Zhang Shun couldn't help sneering: "Mr. Wei must be wondering why so many strange questions are asked today?"

"But yesterday, the missionaries told me that the theory of Xing Yunlu was passed down by Copernicus in the far west, and the theory of Zhou Shuxue was passed down by Tycho in the far west."

"The "Chongzhen Almanac" was deleted and revised, claiming that it is a new Western law, please be careful!"

"Ah, there are such shameless people in the world!" Wei Wenkui was taken aback when he heard the words, and couldn't help saying, "Your Majesty, please drive away all the people from the far west to protect my Chinese inheritance!"

No matter how he imagined it, he would never imagine that such a person exists in the world!
"It's over, it's over!" Unexpectedly, Zhang Shun shook his head and said with a smile, "Although people from the Far West 'stolen' my calendar, can't I also 'steal' the method of back and forth?"

"People in the world will prosper if they learn from others' strengths, but they will decline if they build cars behind closed doors."

"That missionary has traveled all over the world, gathering the talents of the world, and has hidden a lot of good things. I still expect my husband and others to 'steal' them for me one by one. How can I give up eating because of choking?"

"Moreover, I have ambitions for the world, and I intend to build a large sea-going ship to connect the four seas. At that time, my husband and others will definitely support me!"

"Your Majesty has an extraordinary mind, but the minister is narrow-minded!" Wei Wenkui was taken aback when he heard the words, and couldn't help bowing deeply to Zhang Shunyi.

In fact, Wei Wenkui didn't know that Zhang Shun was thinking more at this time.

In the original history, through the era of great navigation, Europe absorbed a lot of advanced knowledge and theories from all over the world, and finally turned it into its own, and then developed a developed modern scientific civilization.

From this point of view, what does it matter if you steal or not?
However, if someone rises to race superiority and human contribution and so on, then naturally he has to rectify the source.

Whose contribution should be, is whose contribution.No one can steal the sky for the sun, and take the merits of the sky for themselves.

Thinking about it, he smiled again.

Since ancient times, there is only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no reason to prevent a thousand days from a thief.

Instead of guarding against others, it is better to let others guard against yourself.

After all, it is necessary to build a large ship by itself, swim the ocean, and connect the four seas. Only such a country and a nation will not lag behind others.

The author is not a pseudo-historicalist, nor does he bother to "crack down on counterfeiting".But when I checked some details as usual and was about to write it out, I found something strange.Except for what the missionaries told themselves, it was actually hard to find information about the participants at that time, Zheng Ge Chengke and Wei Wenkui.

There is a saying in Dashi that "everywhere is evil, there must be ghosts", and it is actually the same when it comes to searching for historical materials.For example, Zhang Daojun is a typical example. In the history of the Ming Dynasty, the story of Zhang Daojun came to an abrupt end, making people unclear. Later, it was discovered that Zhang Daojun "died in the Northern Army" at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

The same is true of Wei Wenkui's matter. When the author saw that no information could be found, he felt that there was something wrong with it, and couldn't help digging deeper.It doesn't matter if you dig, but a "pit" is dug out.

In most materials, Wei Wenkui is often described as a clown-like "civil science" who challenged "Western law" beyond his control.But after the author searched deeply, he found that the opposite happened.This Wei Wenkui not only had the upper hand in the contest with Qin Tianjian and Xifa, but also passed down from Zhou Shuxue and Xing Yunlu all the way, and then passed it on to Xue Fengzuo, an astronomer in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties.

This line of inheritance is clear.Among them, Zhou Shuxue held the "Tycho Theory", Xing Yunlu and Xue Fengzuo held the "Copernican Theory", and Wei Wenkui alone could not find any, but it can be inferred that he held the "Copernican Theory".

So here comes the question, why Wei Wenkui?Because only by eliminating him can the position of the missionaries in the three debates be blurred, and the similar views of Chinese scholars can be said to be influenced by the missionaries.Because Wei Wenkui is against "Western law"
