John Tang had been in the Ming Dynasty for many years and knew the etiquette and habits of the Ming Dynasty very well, so when he heard this, he stood up and said in fluent Chinese: "Returning to Your Majesty, this time I came to meet the saint because according to my observations and those of you in various parts of the Ming Kingdom, there will be rare heavy rain in the south of the Ming Dynasty this summer. ” Zhu Xu nodded with a smile and said, "Thank you, Mr.
Tang, the imperial court has noticed this matter and is already preparing." ” Tang Ruowang's expression remained unchanged, but he had some doubts in his heart, and in just two sentences of dialogue, he could feel that the Ming Emperor did not like him, and seemed to want to chase away guests.
He also figured it out, the people of the Ming Kingdom don't like foreign 'gods', he has worked tirelessly to preach around these years, and those who can let go of the shackles and enter the religion are all special people, such as disabled internal prisoners, poor people, and confused officials.
In the beginning, they were even regarded as a 'cult', if it were not for persuading people to do good and not doing evil, they would have been suppressed a long time ago, and even so, they were repeatedly suppressed by the government.
Tang Ruowang didn't know what the Ming Emperor thought of them in his heart, so he said straight to the point, "Your Majesty the Ming Emperor, Tang Ruowang is here, and in order to spread the enlightenment of the West, I hope that His Majesty the Emperor will allow it." ” What Tang Ruowang said was general, but Zhu Xu knew it, and said lightly: "We Ming people don't believe in your God, we have our own religion." ” Seeing that the Ming Dynasty Emperor knew more than he expected, Tang Ruowang was silent for a while and said, "Your Majesty, with all due respect, Confucianism, Taoism, etc., in the Ming Dynasty, do not belong to religions, they do not involve prayer, faith, and willingness.
God, will bring peace to the Ming Dynasty. ” Zhu Xu shook his head and said, "You have tried it before, and there are many conflicts. ” John Tong as well as in Australia.
Some missionaries from the Ming Dynasty entered the Ming Dynasty decades ago, but they have not made much progress, but have been full of conflicts.
In the Ming Dynasty at this time, there should have been many people who needed comfort in their thoughts, but they never became popular, which shows that the Ming people were still relatively resistant.
Tang Ruowang didn't expect the attitude of the Ming Emperor to be so resolute, his brows furrowed, and he immediately said: "Your Majesty, Western learning is mostly beneficial to the Ming Kingdom, whether it is culture or science and technology, especially artillery, in the Ming Kingdom to prevent foreign invasion, protect the territory, and have many merits.
John Tong hoped that the Ming Kingdom would open the door to convenience so that China and the West could communicate unimpeded. ” Zhu Xu looked motionless and said: "My country has a yamen for external management, and the entry and exit are orderly. ” Xu Guangqi listened quietly and watched on the side, without interjecting.
The emperor's words were simple, always halfway through, and although his tone was calm, there was a strong sense of displeasure.
This puzzled him, but he didn't rush to speak.
Although John Tang has been in the capital for two years, the Ming Dynasty's management of foreigners has become stricter and stricter, especially in Australia.
There is a 'foreign affairs yamen', the policy is tightening, and those who can stay in the interior only have one year, and then they have to go to Australia.
It takes half a month to get the qualification to re-enter. in Australia.
Foreigners, who have committed crimes, have bad criminal records, or even are only suspected of impure purposes, have been forced to leave in recent years, and most of them are missionaries.
Tang Ruowang was worried that Zhu Xu would drive people away, so he said directly again: "Your Majesty, I came this time, hoping that we foreigners can be in Macao.
The door set up judges, criminal officials, similar to the patriarchal system of the Ming Kingdom, to manage the people of the country, of course, everything will respect the Ming Dynasty law, will not exceed the rules. ” Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows, this is the so-called consular jurisdiction?
Isn't this equivalent to a concession?
Naturally, he couldn't agree to this!
Zhu Xu tapped his fingers on the table, and said with a slightly cold expression, "In line with the idea of freedom of thought and integration and exchange, I allow you to preach, but you are not allowed to be involved in politics, and any officials, internal supervisors, and scholars are not allowed to enter the church, be baptized, discuss the government in vain, and prohibit contact with dangerous elements."
The establishment of churches, the number of religious personnel, the number of missionaries, and the list must be approved by the imperial court, and they must not be armed, and they must have weapons. shall not have any privileges ......"
Tang Ruowang's expression changed, the attitude of the emperor of the Ming Kingdom was resolute, even harsh, this situation has never appeared, you know, many officials in the Ming Dynasty are now very kind to him, and the emperor's attitude is very strange.
He still refused to give up, and said: "Your Majesty, Western technology and Daming have many complementarities, Tang Ruowang thinks......"
Zhu Xu waved his hand, interrupted Tang Ruowang's words, sat up straight, and said with blazing eyes, "I know that Western countries are invading, killing, and robbing everywhere, and missionaries have played an extremely disgraceful role.
I don't care if you have it intentionally or not, everything you know will become a tool for the warmongers.
Portugal.
The Grape Tooth people have declined, Spain.
The tooth is also drooping and decaying.
The Lan people seem to be powerful, but in fact they are a small country with few people, if they invade the coast of our Ming Dynasty again, I will send the navy to the sea to attack!
Go back and tell those ambitious people that in the Far East - I am invincible!
The whole earth is also invincible!
” Tang Ruowang's face changed greatly, and he raised his hand violently, and said: "Your Majesty, don't misunderstand, our Holy Roman Church is only for peace and to spread the glory of God......
Zhu Xu's tone was resolute and said, "Ao.
The door is not suitable for Westerners, I will find a new place for you, and you will be notified when you go back.
Westerners, as well as other places, are ready to relocate.
You have no right to refuse, either move or leave!
” Tang Ruowang didn't expect such a situation today, frowning, his face calm, and his expression kept changing.
Emperor Ming's resolute attitude frightened him, was this to drive them away completely?
Xu Guangqi's body moved, there are many places in the Ming Dynasty that need these missionaries, such as firearms, calendars, warships, water conservancy, farmland, etc., and some Western technology can make up for the lack of the Ming Dynasty.
Xu Guangqi didn't want these missionaries to leave, and his eyes looked at Zhu Xu with some inquiry.
Zhu Xu didn't look at him, but just looked at Tang Ruowang with a resolute expression.
John Tong was a missionary with great ambitions, and the population of the Ming Kingdom was larger than that of all of Europe, and it would be a great honor if he could turn the Ming Kingdom into the land of God's faith!
He won't give up, even if the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom doesn't like them so much!
Tang Ruowang is also an extremely smart person, he knows that the Ming Emperor did not drive him away immediately, and did not do it before, there must be something that needs him!

Tang Ruowang is just a missionary, although he has studied the Ming Dynasty a lot, but the court situation is still in the clouds, he can't tell the difference, and he can't guess Zhu Xu's thoughts.
Tang Ruowang thought for a while, looked up at Zhu Xu and said, "How can I be allowed to preach, and please make it clear to Your Majesty." ” Zhu Xu smiled secretly, but he was a smart man, and said, "I know that Putmans is mobilizing warships to start a war with my Daming, and I want to talk to him." ” John Tang frowned, Putmans is Dutch.
One of Lan's heads in the Far East, who controlled all the fleets, did not actually know this person.
However, in order to preach, he decided to meet this person and preach this word for the Ming Emperor.
"Within two months, I will reply to Your Majesty."
John Tang said.
Now that he understood Emperor Ming's intentions, he was no longer flustered.
"Okay."
Zhu Xu smiled and said, "Then I will wait for two months, come and send Mr.
Tang out of the palace." ” Tang Ruowang's entry into the palace this time did not meet his expectations at all, and he also caused trouble, and walked out of the imperial study with a frown and a calm face.
Xu Guangqi stood up at this time, raised his hand to look at Zhu Xu and said, "Your Majesty, this is ......"
Zhu Xu took a sip of tea and said lightly: "Jinyi Wei is from the south.
The sea received a rest, the Dutch.
Lan is ready to go to war with my Da Ming. ” This message was received not long ago.
The Lan people demanded that the Ming sever ties ties with the West.
Tooth man, grape.
The trade relations of the Ya people want to monopolize the Ming Dynasty's overseas trade, or to dominate East Asia, which will naturally not be accepted by the Ming Dynasty.
Three days ago, Dutch.
The Lan people also launched a surprise attack on the west of Taiwan, tentatively attacking the island, although defeated, but the Dutch 'probed to the bottom' and prepared to attack with all their might.
Xu Guangqi's face changed slightly, he has been in the Ordnance Bureau, and he understands the dangers around Daming more deeply than other officials, listening to Zhu Xu's words, he groaned and said: "Your Majesty, the northern and southern naval divisions have been merged, and the combat power is outstanding, so it should be fine." ” If it's just a guard, naturally there won't be any problems.
But Zhu Xu didn't think about this, looked at Xu Guangqi, and said without concealment: "In my original plan, I was going to cooperate with the red-haired people to go to sea with the warship and see the world, but now I obviously have to change my plan." ” Xu Guangqi nodded thoughtfully, understanding the emperor's intentions.
Let's talk about it again.
This is naturally not Zhu Xu's idea, Da Ming can choose more than just Dutch.
Lan people, he needs time with the West.
The Banya people communicated, and the southeast coast should also be prepared, just to delay time.
Zhu Xu looked at Xu Guangqi's slightly pale expression, sighed in his heart, and said with a smile: "Go back and rest with peace of mind, take care of the affairs of the Ordnance Bureau and concentrate on the affairs of the Ministry of Industry." ” Xu Guangqi showed a look of gratitude, raised his hand and said, "Emperor Xie, the ministers remember."
Entering the palace today, the minister wanted to report some artillery matters. ” Zhu Xu's eyes lit up, this was exactly what he cared about, and said, "Let's talk about it." ” Xu Guangqi said, "Your Majesty, the power of gunpowder is improving, the Ordnance Bureau has also tested a bomb that can explode in water, and the range of artillery has been further increased.
These cannons have a longer range than the Red-Haired Men, and in the event of a naval battle, they will definitely have an absolute advantage. ” Naval warfare is different from land warfare, and the superiority of artillery is almost decisive, which Xu Guangqi naturally knows.
Zhu Xu nodded slightly, artillery is indeed very important, but the Ming Navy is still a 'sailor' strictly speaking, and there is still a long way to go if you want to go to sea, and it is best to have someone to help.
"Your Majesty, King Ping is here."
Cao Huachun came in through the side door.
Zhu Xu was stunned, then opened his eyes and said, "Well, King Ping is also going south with me this time, the date is gradual, he should be here to talk about some details." ” Xu Guangqi coughed again, most of the time he came today was for Tang Ruowang, and after he had finished speaking, he raised his hand and said, "The minister will retire." ” Zhu Xu turned his head to look at Cao Huachun and said, "Send the imperial doctor to the Xu Mansion and take care of it carefully." ” Xu Guangqi's eyes were excited, the corners of his mouth moved, and he still said, "Emperor Xie." ” Zhu Xu watched him leave, tapped his fingers on the table, and said, "Send a decree to Fu.
Build, the navy, ordered him to speed up the preparation for war, and then the day.
Jinwei, speed up shipbuilding!
Tomorrow's court meeting, three more days, out of Beijing!
” For this naval battle that is related to the future of the Ming Navy, Zhu Xu didn't dare to be careless, he wanted to go and see it in person!
