golden scales

Dorgon is not as handsome and resourceful as in Qing palace dramas, but he can really be regarded as the number one character among Donglu's gangsters.At least the Beijing retreat led by Dorgon was much more orderly than the Shenyang battle royale.

In this chaos and disorder, Hong Chengchou finally escaped from the control of the Qing army with his mother and disappeared into the long river of history. No one knows where he went, and he was already planning to retreat.

Fan Wencheng, Ning Wan, and I were the first Han Chinese who followed the old slaves against the Ming Dynasty. Since they had no chance of surrendering, they simply followed the Manchus to Haixi.

There are also Gong Dingzi and others, who are confident that they are famous, and Daming will not kill them in order to seek an example, so they still have the cheek to ask the Ming army to surrender.However, they didn't think about it, the Donglu had already been destroyed, so what kind of example would Daming need?Zhu Cihong didn't even bother to let them go back to Beijing for trial, and directly asked Xingdali Temple in Liaoning to sentence these people to lifelong hard labor, grinding their sins in coal and iron.

The story of settling accounts after autumn, which is very popular among Li people, was not staged in a grand manner. There were only a few words in the "Huang Ming Bulletin", which briefly reported the criminal evidence and punishment of "Gong Mou and others".This is anti-propaganda to minimize the "Donglu incident". The final effect is to hope that Donglu will become the second "Eastern Xia". Only true history lovers and professional scholars will be interested in it.

Moreover, following the disclosure of Chongzhen's treasury revenue and expenditure in 21 years, everyone focused on how much money was in the treasury, how much money was spent, and where it was spent. There was really no intention to pay attention to those traitors.

Of course, the newly emerged smallpox drug - Menshuang has also attracted much attention. Many people who were skeptical about it finally dispelled their doubts after a lot of publicity, registered with their household registration numbers and waited for vaccination.In view of the horror of smallpox.In many places, the phenomenon of queuing up all night without leaving after receiving the number appeared, which tested the administrative level of herdsmen officials time and time again.

In the Nantang outside Beijing's Xuanwu Gate, you can just see this long queue that continues day and night from the window on the second floor.This is the land that Matteo Ricci bought for 33 gold in the [-]rd year of Wanli. It was originally the "Shoushan Academy" where the Donglin Party gave lectures.After Matteo Ricci returned to heaven, Tang Ruowang served as the leader of the Jesuits in China.took over here.

After the restoration of Shenjing, two priests, Lilesi and Anwensi, who once worked for Zhang Xianzhong, also moved here, but they spend most of their time teaching language courses at Jingshi University, and there are also their lounges and chapels there. So don't come back to Nantang very often.

At this moment, An Wensi crossed his fingers tightly against his chest, and watched the people in line motionlessly until a policeman appeared to serve them hot soup.He took a long breath, turned around and thought to Li Lei who was working at the desk: "The imperial court of Ming Dynasty is probably the most generous government in the whole world. It is also probably the most stingy government. They are willing to give the medicine powder as precious as gold to beggars, But they don’t want to sell it cheaper to Europeans.”

Liles raised his head and said, "In this country, don't criticize their policies. Besides, the Spaniards also take their sheep very seriously."

Spain's long-haired sheep are regarded as national treasures, and the law stipulates that no live sheep can leave the country to ensure Spain's commodity advantage in the wool textile industry.

"I just sigh a little, my brother." An Wensi lightly crossed himself, and said again: "Before caring about the secular government, I care more about the affairs between the Lord's shepherds. Min Ming of the Dominican Order We are seeking to enter China, but we have not responded at all. Brother Tang Ruowang is still keen on secular power."

Leslie got up and poured a glass of water for himself and Anwensi.Said: "Perhaps we first need unity within ourselves. Since Father Matteo Ricci returned to the embrace of the Lord, we have obvious problems. I don't think the Jiading meeting is the end, on the contrary, it is the beginning."

"Brother, I don't intend to offend, but I don't think the resolutions made at the Jiading meeting are correct." An Wensi said: "I agree with some of the views of Father Longhuamin. For example, Chinese worshiping Confucius and ancestors is indeed a kind of Superstition. And it is wrong to call my Lord by their 'God'."

"But in fact, this is beneficial to us." Li Leisi said: "And from the theological point of view, 'God' is also the supreme ruler, I don't think there is any problem. As for the issue of Chinese etiquette, it may be a kind of superstition. But obviously Father Matteo Ricci disagrees with this view."

An Wensi shook his head and said, "I'm very sorry. My brother, I'm not in the mood to discuss theology with you right now, because my mind is completely occupied by another question."

"I would like to hear more about it." Liles looked at An Wensi, his brother and partner, kindly.

"You know that I occasionally explain mechanics to students at Jingshi University, just as you are also a professor of mathematics and astronomy." An Wensi slowed down his speech: "It is undeniable that the Chinese are exquisite in mechanical design Ideation is the jewel in the crown of science, but from recent discussions, I see that they are hiding something."

"Oh? What is it?" Lisi asked.

An Wensi shook his head and said: "No, my brother, it doesn't matter what it is. The important thing is that we were suspected. We were excluded by the friendly Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty!"

"My brother, doubts will make you lose your mind. This is one of the devil's tests on the Son of Man." Lesbians said, "Maybe the professors just think it doesn't matter, so they didn't tell us."

"They are researching a new wheel shaft rotation system. They should have found a more powerful power source. This is not a trivial matter in any country. Especially the emperor and crown prince of the Ming Dynasty are far more powerful than those greedy and ignorant nobles in Europe. In the long run, they are willing to use the strength of a country to promote this progress." Anwen Silue was a little excited.

Liles opened his hands, pressed them down slightly, and guided Father Anvins to quiet down with a deep breath.He said: "Maybe it's because they don't want the Lord's servants to be contaminated with the filth of the world. They know that we have made four vows, which is a kind of friendship."

"No, I believe it is because of the distrust caused by Father Tang Ruowang's wrong actions in [-]." An Wensi insisted: "Perhaps Father Minming is right: the first Adam let us be expelled." Out of Eden, the second Adam will get us kicked out of China."

Tang Ruowang's full name is: John? Adam? Shar? Von Baier.

"You're quoting a Spaniard?" Lillies grinned.

"I don't like Spaniards," said Anvins, who is Portuguese, "but I also don't like Germans who are mixed in secular politics."

Catholicism is a religion that transcends national boundaries and races.

Although according to the doctrine, all believers are brothers and sisters, the secular national hatred has not been weakened by this.

In the early Catholic expeditions, the king of Portugal was the biggest sponsor of the Jesuits, so they selected Portuguese missionaries. If foreign missionaries were really needed, these people had to board the ship from Lisbon, and they were still in the hands of Portugal. .

It can be said that before [-], the Jesuits monopolized the teaching power in the Far East.

Beginning in [-], Spain increased its funding for the Dominicans (Dominicans) and the Franciscans, hoping to break into China and spread Catholicism.

This undoubtedly caused headaches for the Jesuits. Fortunately, the main missionary point of the Dominicans is in Fujian.Fujian is a region with complex and stubborn beliefs, and it is extremely repulsive to foreign Catholicism.Moreover, because many Fujianese had been to Luzon and witnessed the atrocities committed by the Spaniards with their own eyes, they were even more resistant to the Spanish-dominated Dominicans.

The influence of this national culture is also very obvious when it is specific to a certain monk.

For example, the Germans like to take the high-level route, believing that Matteo Ricci's "education of scholar-bureaucrats" can make Catholicism flourish in China; the Belgians are keen on cultivating local clergy in China and establishing local churches; Civilization has an attitude of tolerance and acceptance, adapting and compromising as much as possible.The Italians are the least nationalistic, they just focus on preaching.

Lilles was an Italian nobleman.

"But evangelism from top to bottom is an established policy and cannot be changed." Lisi insisted: "I believe that Father Matteo Ricci's success in China is not accidental. In fact, I have another suggestion, which may not be obtained. your approval."

"But I'm still willing to listen."

"We recommend ourselves to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and enter the Qin Tianjian." Li Leisi said: "If we can achieve an equal status with Tang Ruowang in secular politics, we may have a greater say in the missionary work in China."

"But the Chinese place too much value on positions and history." An Wensi hesitated: "We were once in the camp of the crown prince's enemies, which is similar to Tang Ruowang's wrong position in [-]."

"No, it's not the same." Li Leisi said: "You only need to read the newspapers to find that the crown prince showed amazing tolerance towards the traitor Li Zicheng, but he was extremely strict with the Bogdas. Father Tang Ruowang should not On the side of the Bogdas. That's the difference."

An Wensi was silent for a moment, before he said: "If the Spaniards can be kept out, I don't mind getting involved in secular politics, although it may mean great danger."

Leslie smiled and said, "It's great to be able to reach such a consensus. If you, my brother, are willing to treat Father Tang Ruowang more tolerantly and recognize his contribution in China, that would be even better. "

"My brother, you will see the truth." Unwins quoted St. Paul's words with a pun, saying: "We are all guilty of Adam." (To be continued..)
