Kangxi, your Qing Dynasty is dead

Chapter 166 You foreigners are actually worse than the Qing Dynasty! (ask for subscription, ask for monthly pass)

"Chen Fufu, the commander-in-chief of Chen Hailu's aid and suppression, kowtowed to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor"

Although Chen Yonghua wanted to fight the Qing Dynasty and revive the Ming Dynasty, he still knelt down to Kang Mazi honestly at this moment, shouting long live.

Kangxi looked at this "Navy Suppressor General" Chen Zongbing, and at the same time tapped with his fingers a somewhat special "bullet badge" that he had just received, then smiled and said softly: "Chen Fufu, I heard that You were originally a sea merchant?"

Chen Yonghua raised his head, looked at Kangxi with a solemn face, and replied with trepidation on his face: "I dare not lie to the emperor, I am a smuggling maritime merchant. I am from Putian, Fujian. There are many people in Putian and there are few lands. There are mountains everywhere, and there are not many people to support. Fortunately, there is no unparalleled road, this Putian is on the seaside, and there are many good ports, and the people there have always had the tradition of going to Nanyang to make a living.”

Kangxi smiled: "You are honest, I think you are gentle, you should have read books, right?"

"Your Majesty's name, I have indeed read some books, but I am blunt and honest. I can't even understand dead books. I think I can't get any fame. I have no choice but to follow the adults in the family to do business."

"You honest?" Kangxi looked at Chen Yonghua who had a "sincere" smile on his face, and asked with a smile, "I heard people say that there is no business and no adultery. How did you earn so much money as an honest person?"

Chen Yonghua explained: "The emperor doesn't know something. Although the ministers are not smart enough, the natives in Nanyang are more honest. Otherwise, they would not be conquered by hundreds of Western barbarians and become slaves of the subjugated country. The Western barbarians are dying. After the indigenous countries of Nanyang, they did not trust those subjugated people and were unwilling to share the world with them. At the same time, Nanyang was too far away from the mainland of Xiyi, and Westerners could not emigrate to Nanyang in large numbers, and most of the island countries in Nanyang were plagued by dysentery, and the climate was particularly hot and humid. , Westerners are not used to it.

So they asked the Chinese from Fujian and Guangdong to be their renters and tax collectors.Develop and operate for them, and help them collect taxes and rents.Many Han Chinese who went out from Putian have made a fortune in Nanyang and gained a firm foothold.And Chen's family is a big family in Putian, with a large number of people and powerful people. Many clansmen work as renters and taxes for Westerners in Nanyang.With them taking care of them, the business of the Chen family is naturally easy to do. "

"I understand," Kangxi nodded. "Isn't this the same as my Manchuria using coated clothes to treat Han people? Your family is made of foreign coated clothes!"

"Emperor Shengming."

Kangxi asked again: "Then you are well dressed in foreign clothes, why did you go to hang out with Geng Jingzhong again?"

Chen Yonghua said with a smile: "Your Majesty does not know that Nanyang not only needs Han people from Fujian and Guangdong coasts to go to Dangdang for coating, but also hires coolies from Guangdong and Fujian at high prices, and also needs big farmers from Guangdong and Fujian to contract manors. Cloth, porcelain, tea, ironware, and other miscellaneous groceries need to be purchased from Guangdong and Fujian.

Because the imperial court has moved the border along the coast in recent years, the coastal residents have no way to go to Nanyang, and there is a special shortage of people in Nanyang.Cloth, porcelain, tea, ironware, etc. are very expensive, and you can make a lot of money by transporting anything! "

Kangxi seems to be very interested in Nanyang's affairs today, and asked with interest: "According to what you said, Fujianese and Cantonese have earned all the money in Nanyang, how can Xiyi earn?"

"Your Majesty, the Xiyi's occupation of Nanyang is not to obtain silver, but to obtain spices." Chen Yonghua explained, "Silver is a treasure for us, but Xiyi is not too rare, because they have already occupied the land rich in silver." Land of the New World.

Since the natives of the New World can be driven to dig gold and silver for them, gold is more precious, and silver is not so rare because it is more abundant. Therefore, since the middle and late Ming Dynasty, a large amount of silver has flowed into China to exchange for ours. Silk, porcelain, sugar and other items. "

"Then it is said that people from the coastal areas of Guangdong and Fujian will make a steady profit if they go to Nanyang?"

"That's not true," Chen Yonghua shook his head and sighed, "Going to Nanyang is actually exchanging his life for money! One is that the way to and from is windy and rough, and if you are not careful, you will be buried in the sea, and there is no place to die. Second, all the islands in Nanyang are lands of miasma and dysentery, and countless people died of illnesses in foreign lands! Third, the western barbarians are all at the heart of tigers and wolves, and the Han people who go to Nanyang to make money are no different from lambs in their eyes. They must be slaughtered if they are fattened If you can't cunning rabbits or leave in time after earning money, when Xiyi thinks the time is right, it may be a bloodbath!
+The Han Chinese who made money in Luzon Island were bloodbathed more than once by the Westerners.”

Kangxi nodded, thoughtful, and asked after a while: "Then how much do you know about the Western Yi's conquest of the New World?"

Chen Yonghua said: "I almost know everything!"

"You know?" Kangxi said, "Then let's hear it!"

Chen Yonghua didn't seem to think that Kangxi was so interested in foreign affairs, he was stunned for a while and said: "This is a long story."

"Then talk slowly!" Kangxi laughed, "If I have time, I can listen slowly! I think I am proficient in the knowledge of the East and the West, and I also know some things about the discovery of the New World by Western Yi, but I don't know the details. Just to hear you talk."

"Then I will tell you!" Chen Yonghua cleared his throat, and then said in the tone of a Dazhalan storyteller: "The beginning of Xiyi's conquest of the New World should start from the 92th year of the Xiyi calendar. In this year, there was a great pirate named Columbus in Xiyi who found Isabella and Ferdinand, the twin kings of Spain, and proposed to sail westward and take the Atlantic Ocean to find a shortcut to China and India. "

"I didn't expect them to be so bad, worse than me... even worse than that, that big Mongolian country!"

In the South Study Room, a "storytelling" to help Emperor Kangxi open his eyes to see the world is finally over.Chen Yonghua didn't know how long he had been talking, not only was his mouth dry, but his knees hurt a little—he said it while kneeling!
But Emperor Kangxi was so "opened to the ears" that he almost blurted out the truth - he really didn't expect that a Xiyi like Nan Huairen would say "God loves the world" better than singing, I didn't expect to do bad things worse than his family's old man Nurhachi, grandpa Huang Taiji, uncle Dorgon, Duoduo and others!
Moreover, these people are not only bad, but also extremely shameless and hypocritical, and their methods are more ruthless and superior than Daqing's!

The ancestors of the Qing Dynasty had to make up the Seven Great Hatreds and the Eight Great Hatreds when they did bad things. When they entered the Central Plains, they had to pretend to be "revenge for Ming". So those bad things were recorded by Han scholars and passed on to future generations?
When these Xiyi slaughtered other people's countries, they actually directly used "divine will" to declare that the natives of the New World did not believe in God, so they would destroy their country and their family. It is shameless to the extreme!

Moreover, Kangxi was shocked by these advanced methods of massacring the country and genocide of the Xiyi. They already had guns and swords, and their opponents only had sticks and stone knives.

But they still thought it was too slow, and they actually used smallpox!
Fortunately, the Han people are not as vicious as they are, otherwise Chongzhen sent people to use smallpox as a weapon and sell silk and satin stained with acne venom to Liaodong and the grasslands. Thinking of this, Kang Mazi is in a cold sweat!

What made Kang Mazi's spine even more chilling was that the King of the Roman Church actually issued a decree to endorse them, packaging their evil deeds of exterminating the country and genocide into a good deed of "spreading the gospel"!

What's even more exaggerated is that the Roman Church also declared that "if you don't believe in God, you don't have a soul, and you can't be counted as a human being." Therefore, it can be punished by all means!

What does it mean?Emperor Kangxi said in his heart: I don't believe in God, so can I not be considered a human being?
In addition, this gang of Western barbarians fought against each other in Nanyang, gradually wiped out all countries and states, and raised the Han people who went to Nanyang as fat sheep, which is indeed clever enough!
Compared with them, the Qing Dynasty seems to be a little younger!
Nan Huairen, a Jesuit missionary and Supervisor of Daqing Zhangqintian, has always been a little restless recently. When I prayed to God today, I was a little terrified, always feeling that something big was about to happen!

And his restlessness, of course, has a reason!
The reason is that the recent news from Guangdong and Guangxi is very blurred. For a while, the generals of Guangxi, the admirals of Guangxi, the general soldiers of the left wing of Guangxi, and the general soldiers of Guangdong Gao Leilian have colluded to rebel. I don’t know when their rebellion will reach Xiangshan in Guangdong. county?If they hit Xiangshan, what will happen to Haoao?
After a while, Wu Sanwei, Wu Sangui's brother, and Oboi landed tens of thousands of soldiers on Xiangdao together, and Wu Sanwei also called himself Minister of Commerce and Commerce of Nanyang. support!

And based on Nan Huairen's understanding of the spirit of the contract between the Catholic Church and the Kingdom of Portugal, as long as Wu Sangui is willing to give the Kingdom of Portugal a monopoly of free trade and give the Catholic Church the freedom to preach and beg for money, then they will definitely sell their Qing to Wu
I don't know if the little emperor who doesn't believe in God, has no soul, and is destined to go to hell will take revenge on the Lord's servant in Beijing after the Governor of Hao and Macao and the acting bishop betrayed him and defected to Wu?
So after learning that the emperor had summoned him, he came to the South Study Room with a feeling of apprehension.

"Chen Nan Huairen respectfully invites Sheng An."

Although Nan Huairen felt uneasy, he still greeted Emperor Kangxi as before.

"Sheng Gongan," Kangxi said, pointing to a memorial and a scroll on the table, and said to Xiao Guizi who was waiting on the side, "Xiao Guizi, the monk Kexi, Wang Fuchen and others in the "Portugal Wu Secret Treaty" Show Nan Huairen the bullets!"

"Whoo!"

Xiao Guizi responded, and lifted up the tray with secret contracts and bullets, walked up to Nan Huairen who was kneeling, and placed the tray on the ground, "Master Nan, please take a look."

"This is." Nan Huairen already knew it was not good—the "Portugal" in "Portugal and Wu Secret Treaty" is probably Portugal, and the "Wu" is probably Wu Sangui!

Although he knew it was going to be bad, Nan Huairen still tried to stay calm, picked up "Portugal and Wu Secret Treaty", and started to read it.

The "Secret Agreement" was written in Chinese and Latin, and the Latin in it seems to be Luo Wenzao's handwriting. There are also signatures of Shi Bozhi, Luo Wenzao, and Wu Sanwei at the bottom.

And the content of the "Secret Agreement" did not exceed Nan Huairen's expectation at all!

It's just that such an important "secret agreement" fell into the hands of the Qing court?
This is so careless!
When Nan Huairen thought of this, he shook his head innocently, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, listen to your minister explain that the leader of the Hao-Ao-Portugal Army is just a petty official and cannot represent the King of Portugal, and that Father Luo Wenzao is not the Hao-Men appointed by the Pope." Bishop of Australia, so this secret covenant is useless!"

Kangxi waved his hand: "Master Nan, don't rush to defend yourself, there is still a copy of 'Bullet Chapter', after you read it, it won't be too late to talk about it."

"Ban Zhang? Is it to impeach the minister?"

"Not all of them," Kangxi said, "mainly the impeachment of the King of Rome and Portugal!"

"What?" Nan Huairen was stunned, "Your Majesty, what did you say?"

Kangxi said: "I said that this article is mainly for the impeachment of the King of Rome and the King of Portugal!"

"Yes, but they are not the emperor's courtiers, how can they be impeached?"

Kangxi waved his hand again, "Let's read it first, then you can talk about it after reading it!"

"Whoo."

Nan Huairen had no choice but to pick up the bullets that Zhou Chang had drafted according to Wang Zhongxiao's intention, and read every word.After reading a few words, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Because this article seized the "Pope's Meridian" and "Portugal's right to protect the church in China" and launched a criticism!
According to the "Pope's Meridian", the land now owned by the Qing Dynasty is all under the rule of the Kingdom of Portugal. This is simply absurd!What made Nan Huairen even more headache than the absurdity was that this bullet also pointed out that the "Pope Meridian" had been implemented in the New World, along the coast of the African continent, and in the Malacca area!
Spain and Portugal launched their respective conquests based on the Pope's meridian. Although Spain's conquest was more successful than Portugal's, Portugal also did a lot of evil deeds that in the eyes of the barbaric and ignorant Chinese can be regarded as unspeakable.

And it is even more difficult to explain the Pope's right to protect the church in China. The meridian of the Pope can also be used as "ignorance" to justify the Pope-of course, this can only be said in front of Emperor Kangxi. Going to the Inquisition to defend myself.

But what about the "right to protect and teach in China"?Why is the protection of Catholicism in China granted to the Kingdom of Portugal?

The right to protect and teach is not just the literal meaning of "protection", but also includes powers such as personnel appointment and removal and parish management. It is no exaggeration to say that all believers in the Qing Dynasty must obey the "protection" of the Kingdom of Portugal to a certain extent. The management of the Catholic Chinese diocese is to obey the management of Portugal!
This is simply an offense to the supreme imperial power of the Qing emperor!

If there was no "Portugal-Wu Secret Treaty", Nan Huairen could still excuse the Pope and the King of Portugal. After all, the Pope's meridian and China's right to protect the church were granted to Portugal a long time ago. It was not yet the Qing Dynasty!

But now there is the "Portugal-Wu Secret Treaty", which shows that the Kingdom of Portugal and the Catholic Church are still trying to realize the power granted to Portugal by the "Pope's Meridian" and "China's Guarantee Power".
"Master Nan, don't you have to explain?" Emperor Kangxi looked at the speechless Nan Huairen, and spoke again with a cold tone.

"Your Majesty." Nan Huairen knew that he had to say something, otherwise all the efforts made by the Catholic Church in China for so many years would be in vain!

"Your Majesty," Nan Huairen gritted his teeth, "please give the governor of Hao'ao and the church another chance. Otherwise, they will really collude with Wu Sangui to endanger the Qing Dynasty!"

He is threatening Kangxi!

Kangxi said coldly: "Opportunity? Did I ever say that I wouldn't give it a chance?"

"Your Majesty." Nan Huairen looked up at Kangxi.

Kangxi said: "Hao Ao can no longer be handed over to them, I must take it back. All Portuguese people can come to the capital to be foreign slaves! I let them be the coaters of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and others will not be able to do so if they want to! But Don't be shameless! Otherwise, I won't be polite!"

Nan Huairen refused to give in at all, "Your Majesty, Hao'ao Castle is quite strong, and the Portuguese soldiers guarding the city are not idle. Besides, there are still Wu Sanwei, Aobai, and Zu Zeqing in Guangdong who are causing chaos. If we continue to attack Haoao for a long time, I am afraid that the overall situation will be corrupted and it will be out of control!"

As a veteran Western missionary, Nan Huairen knew how much force played a role in missionary activities!
If Haoao can withstand the siege of the Qing army in Guangdong, then everything will be fine. The Qing Dynasty is now facing an unprecedented chaos, and the situation in Guangdong is also extremely critical. It is impossible for Kangxi to waste too much time in the fortress of Haoao.

Therefore, as long as the Hao-Macau Fortress can be defended, there will be a good negotiation condition in the end. Not only the interests of the Catholic Church can be guaranteed, but the interests of the Governor-General of Hao-Macau and the Kingdom of Portugal can also be maintained or even expanded!

Kangxi smiled coldly: "Does a small fortress in Hao'ao still want to resist the heavenly soldiers of the Qing Dynasty? Master Nan, do you think that the Qing Dynasty is as easy to bully as those Aztecs and Inca? I don't believe in your God either !"

"Your majesty, I don't dare!" Nan Huairen quickly prostrated himself on the ground, "I just beg the emperor to think twice! The Kingdom of Portugal has long since lost its former glory, and it is impossible to pose any threat to the Qing Dynasty. This so-called secret agreement, Mostly it is the personal actions of Governor Shi Bozhi and Father Luo Wenzao, and they do not represent the King of Portugal. I can send a message to the King of Portugal and the Roman Catholic Church on your behalf to transfer these two people away."

Kangxi snorted: "Nan Huairen, you don't need to say more. It seems that if we don't fight a war, you foreigners don't know the heights of heaven and earth!"

Nan Huairen's heart was going cold, because he knew that this time a war was inevitable!It’s fine if Haoao can hold on, but if it can’t, then everything will be over.

The Catholic Church in China. No, the plate in the entire East Asia may collapse!
Kangxi paused, and then said: "But don't be afraid, I won't let you go to the heaven of your God so soon, I will keep the little osmanthus in your life!"

"The slave is here!"

"Send Nan Huairen to Shangfang Yuan (predecessor of Punishment Department) for a few days!"

"Whoo!"
