Wang Shuo couldn't help but think, this Li Tianyu likes to study so much, plus this Wu Langxi, if he leads them to the right path, maybe the things he wants to make in his heart that only know one thing, don't know the other, and know it and don't know why it is will be drummed out by two people, then it will be terrible.If there is steel, there is smokeless explosives, there is a primer, then the backyard gun is almost the same.He relied on his memory to support the move, and the two of them went to study and experiment, maybe this matter became thinking of this, he called Wu Langxi, who was still obsessed in front of the blackboard, and asked: "You are French" Wu Langxi was surprised: "You know France" Wang Shuo smiled and nodded.Wu Langxi's sentence was in contact with French when he was in college, and he can still understand one or two sentences.So he asked: "Now France should be the Bourbon dynasty, who is the emperor" Wu Langxi was shocked at this time, he has been in China for many years, from high-ranking officials to intellectuals, no one knows that Europe can reach the point of Wang Shuo, he replied: "It is His Majesty Louis XIII." ”He deliberately didn't say much, to see what else Wang Shuo knew.Wang Shuo was taken aback, it turned out that Europe had only arrived in Louis XIII, and Louis XIV had not yet come out of his understanding of Europe, that is, the Renaissance and Alexandre Dumas's novels The Three Musketeers, the era of Louis XIII was just in the early stage of this, and he knew very little.Originally, I wanted to show my knowledge and suppress this Wu Langxi, but it's not easy to do now.Wang Shuo searched his stomach and pondered for a long time, and finally remembered that Louis XIII was Henry IV above, so he asked: "This Louis XIII, but the son of Henry IV" Wu Langxi's inner shock at this moment is incomparable to you.The tall general in front of him looked quite young, only in his twenties, and his mathematical knowledge could reach the level of a European master, and he even knew Louis XIII and Henry IV, what kind of person was this, so he respectfully replied, "Yes, as the general said." ”Wang Shuo's mind thought about Europe, and he naturally remembered a little bit of something, so he then asked: "I heard that Louis XIII was mediocre and lazy, and the power fell into the hands of Cardinal Richelieu, but really" Ondieu Wu Langxi shouted again in his heart, how could this general know everything He didn't dare to keep it, so he had to answer truthfully: "Exactly."
Richelieu was an enemy of Spain and persecuted the Jesuits, so I fled France and went to Italy.At present, the latter party has been driven out of France by him, and the whole of France is under his dark rule"With regard to Louis XIII and Richelieu, the views of the French at that time were very different from those of modern people.Modern people are close to thinking that without the tolerance of Louis XIII and the iron-fisted politics of Richelieu, France would not have the great power status of the Louis XIV era.If Chongzhen had the mind of Louis XIII, the Ming Dynasty might not have perished, and the tragedy of the Manchu Eight Banners Massacre could have been completely avoided.History is so interesting, Europe and China in this era have come to a crossroads.As a result, Europe entered the Renaissance and then the Industrial Age.China, however, because of the emperor's stupidity, embarked on a completely opposite path of barbarism instead of civilization.Wang Shuo nodded after listening to Wu Langxi's words, and didn't ask any more.If you ask, you may be exposed, and he has no understanding of the internal strife of the Bourbons.So he changed the topic and asked: "When did you come to China" At this time, Wu Langxi already respected Wang Shuo very much, and he was cautious in replying.He replied: "I am a student at the seminary in Rome, and I have read many of Father Matteo Ricci's reports on China, and I am very eager for it.Twenty-five years ago, we came to China with Fr.
Nicolas Strigot, where we studied Chinese Chinese and literature, and then in Nanjing, where we were violently evicted by local officials.The year before last, your Chinese emperor sent people to Macao to buy cannons, and we followed the army that transported the cannons to the mainland.I went to the church in Xi'an to receive Father Nicolas Strigot, and I ended up here because of the war. ”Wang Shuo didn't know about the "Nanjing Lesson Plan", so he didn't know who those foreigners were with Wu Langxi.But Matteo Ricci still has the impression that this should be the first Western missionary to knock on the door of China, and his idea of "Confucian missionary" has influenced more than one generation of Western missionaries.When it comes to the Roman seminary, Wang Shuo immediately thinks of a person, Galileo.Galileo was a member of the Roman seminary, and this man must have gone through the entire Renaissance period, but I don't know if it was also in this era.So he asked Wu Langxi: "In the seminary, there is a man named Galileo, do you know?"
He tried his best to pronounce the pronunciation of the name Galileo into the original foreign pronunciation, so that Wu Langxi could understand it.Wu Langxi looked at Wang Shuo with more and more fear and replied, "That's a celebrity from all over Rome, a university scholar.I had the pleasure of listening to him lecture on the principles of lenses and his newly built telescope. ”Wang Shuo was a little proud when he finally got one, and then he thought that he was in the same era as a bull like Galileo, and he couldn't help but yearn for it.Why didn't he travel to Renaissance Europe, with his current knowledge, he would definitely be like Galileo and Newton, and he would go down in history.But I just ran to the northwest where this bird doesn't, or such a chaotic world in the late Ming Dynasty, I came to suffer hardships and suffers, and I couldn't sleep, it was really a bad fate, I was lamenting to myself, but I heard Wu Langxi ask: "The general has been to Europe" Wang Shuo was stunned and said: "No." ”Wu Langxi didn't believe it and said: "How does the general know about France and Galileo" Wang Shuo said in his heart, how do I know about your, but it's not good not to answer him.After a while, he thought: "Chinese culture is broad and profound, and what Matteo Ricci knows is just scratching the surface.The imperial court has two factories, the east and the west, do you know what they do" Wu Langxi shook his head.Wang Shuo smiled, knowing that this guy was so good, he said: "That's the yamen who specializes in spying on the extraterritorial situation, you European, how can the court not know what you are doing, don't think what you are doing, what is the teaching, the court doesn't know, it's just that you are a small country, and I don't bother to deal with you." ”This frightened Wu Langxi
