Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 788 Welcome to Daming (520rd change, add [-] for the Silver League)

From Yili to the capital, Gu Jia and his party traveled on horseback for more than a month. They left at the beginning of April last year, and now it is March of the following year. Eleven months are the longest days in Gu Jia's life.

The carriage creaked, but there was nothing else in the carriage, four boxes of books collected from all over Europe, and the ashes of fourteen frontier soldiers.

Little Banner Officer Jiang Tao was killed in battle on the way to retreat, so he had no chance to find his body.

The group did not enter the capital, but went straight to Xishan along the asphalt path from the capital to Xishan.

At the foot of Xishan Mountain, Liu Hongjian, Xu Ji, Qi Yuangong, Song Yingxing, and students from the Martial Arts Hall have been waiting for a long time.

"Are you back?" Gu Jia got off the horse, and Liu Hongjian stepped forward and said calmly with a smile.

"It's a good luck for Gu to live up to his fate!" Gu Jia bowed to Liu Hongjian with his hands clasped.

Although this is the brief introduction of Q&A, thousands of words are hidden in it.

"Old Gu, you've lost weight." Liu Hongjian patted Gu Jia's shoulder, and that's what the belt gradually said.

Gu Jia has just passed forty, and in less than a year, her cheeks are sunken, and even her hair at the temples has turned white, and her long hair is messy and messy on the gray-black collar, interpreting what it means to have experienced weather.

"Xie Qianhu... He died in battle, and there were fourteen other border army brothers who traveled westward. They... all died. Gu was incompetent, so he only brought their ashes back."

Gu Jia's sunken eye sockets were bloodshot, and she said in a trembling voice.

He will never forget that night on Kelb Mountain, that night of cold, hunger, heavy siege, hopelessness, and torture. It was the frontier soldiers who sacrificed their chances of surviving and gave them the only warm clothes they had.

"I know, I know, they will not die in vain, I will make the Rakshasa pay a thousand times, ten thousand times, I will make their king kowtow to his dead brother, and let him die in fear See their God, I swear."

Liu Hongjian didn't know how to comfort Gu Jia, who was extremely depressed, and the three surviving frontier soldiers who were also thin and ugly behind Gu Jia.

For a moment, he felt that he was still the dozen or so good soldiers. If he hadn't been such a moth and prevented Gu Jia from going to Europa, then all this might not have happened.

"Just come back, just come back, don't stand here, go back and talk! Go back and talk!" Qi Yuangong pulled Wu Peng's arm to persuade him.

"It's Lao Gu. I haven't seen you for a year. Let's go. The banquet in the martial arts hall has been set up. Let's get drunk tonight." A group of people walked towards the lecture hall.

In the conference hall of the Martial Arts Hall, the corresponding dishes were brought up plate by plate, but there were not many people at the table, and the four boxes had already been opened.

Liu Hongjian casually picked up a book and opened it to read a few pages, frowning.

They are all in languages ​​he has never seen before. Occasionally, one or two books seem to be in English, but his English is just like that. A bible-like existence.

"It seems that these books have to be translated!" Liu Hongjian said as he casually put the books on the table.

"Yes, my lord, these books contain astronomy, numerology, philosophy, medicine, as well as theology and engineering, but it seems that the level of science and technology on Europa is mediocre." Gu Jia lowered her voice in the second half of the sentence, It is estimated that they are concerned about the feelings of Tang Ruowang and others.

But Europa's bloodletting therapy really surprised Gu Jia. According to the logic of the Europa people, bloodletting can be done for all diseases, and blood is the foundation of the body. This is completely a fantasy.

Liu Hongjian grinned when he heard this. He knew about bloodletting therapy in Europe, not to mention that it is the seventeenth century, and even a century and a half later, bloodletting therapy is still popular in Europe.

As far as he knew, Washington, the founding father of the United States, died of bloodletting.

That day, Washington felt cold and uncomfortable, so he asked the housekeeper to bleed him. Unexpectedly, in the early morning of the next day, not only did he not get better, but he started to have a fever, difficulty breathing, and cold sweats. He had to call a doctor named Craig. see a doctor.

When Dr. Craig saw the condition, he began to bleed without saying a word, and prescribed a medicine for him: a large bowl of indescribable liquid mixed with butter, honey and vinegar.

Washington coughed while drinking, and coughed until ten o'clock in the morning. Craig saw that it was not good, and had to be bled. In two days, Washington drank three bowls of unknown liquid and bled four times. At ten o'clock in the evening, he finally succeeded. Let yourself die.

This story tells us that medicine should not be drunk indiscriminately, blood should not be released indiscriminately, and if you don't do it, you won't die.

Liu Hongjian knew that Europa's medicine was not very good, at least not so much now, and the development of science and technology was sometimes uneven.

For example, in the Mayan civilization in America, astronomy has clearly reached its peak, but the wheel has not even been invented mechanically. Another example is that the warships of the Europeans can already be equipped with a hundred cannons, but in medicine, bloodletting is still used. Great therapy.

Despite this, Liu Hongjian still regards these books as treasures. He didn't want to learn from the barbarians to control the barbarians, but they are all-encompassing, and they are the epitome of all walks of life in Europe.

Among other things, Liu Hongjian was very interested in Europa's military system and battleship classification.

"It's easy to talk about translation, my lord, let me introduce you to these priests who came to Daming from thousands of miles away." Gu Jia pointed to the five priests beside the table.

"This is Tang Ruowang, from the Holy Roman Empire, Jesuit missionary, Catholic Jesuit monk, proficient in four languages, and has high attainments in theology, philosophy, firearms, etc." Gu Jia introduced Tang Ruowang emphatically.

"Welcome to Daming!" Liu Hongjian stretched out his hand and smiled.

He is still familiar with this person. Anyone who has watched The Deer and Ding Ji knows that when Kang Mazi regained Taiwan, there was always a foreigner named Tommafa standing behind him.

Tang Ruowang was stunned for a moment, as if surprised that Liu Hongjian was familiar with their country's etiquette, and immediately shook hands with Liu Hongjian.

"It's an honor to meet you, His Royal Highness!" Tang Ruowang let go of his hand and bowed to Liu Hongjian with his right hand on his chest.

He is a German, and he is the only one among the few people present who calls himself the Holy Roman Empire, because only Germans consider themselves the most orthodox descendants of Shinra.

On the contrary, although many countries in Europe belonged to the Holy Roman Empire in name, they have already experienced 30 years of war, and many duchies have long since escaped the rule of Shinra. At this time, if you talk nonsense that you are from Shinra, you may suffer a lot. Don't roll your eyes, Gu Jia has experienced a lot from the beginning.

"This is Hoffmann Yule, from Austria, a Catholic Jesuit monk." Gu Jia continued to introduce.

"Welcome to Daming, just say what you need." Liu Hongjian said politely.

Yu Le seemed a little excited. He and Tang Ruowang had stayed in Daming for many years, so they naturally understood what Liu Hongjian meant.

"We need a church, Your Royal Highness." Yu Le saluted his chest, and then said bluntly.

He traveled thousands of miles west and returned home, and returned from Europa. He went through untold hardships just to bring the gospel of Jesus to Daming. When the gospel spreads, the Pope will definitely meet him in person and promote him to the rank of bishop, or even a cardinal.

He was too hasty, or rather straightforward, and Liu Hongjian was taken aback by what he said.

"No problem, my king promised you, and I will definitely help you, and the church will start construction in spring!" Liu Hongjian forgave this straight guy, he knew in his heart that Europeans never liked politeness.

For example, if he tells you that you are so handsome, if you say something politely, he will definitely be confused, and then stammers and tells you that you have a handsome nose and a handsome mouth.

"This is Oakes, from Bilici, my lord, he still doesn't know Ming language." Gu Jia pointed to one of the three priests who Yule abducted from the church.

……

"Who is this kid?" Liu Hongjian wanted to ask a long time ago, wondering why he brought a kid here after traveling such a long distance.

"His name is Isaac, Isaac Newton, he is an abandoned child. I saw him pitiful, so I brought him back." Gu Jia said with some embarrassment. The child gave him a lot of love along the way. trouble.

But who knew that Liu Hongjian was dumbfounded after hearing the first half of the sentence.

"Wait a minute, old Gu, what do you think his name is?" Liu Hongjian pointed to the tiny Newton and asked.
