Chapter 864: The Despair of the Divine Stick
Over the years, John Tang has used the plaque given by Chongzhen to develop many believers.
However, Li Zicheng plagued the Central Plains, and most of his followers suffered misfortune, and many died of starvation or death on the battlefield.
Since God could not protect them, there were fewer and fewer religious believers.
John Tang wanted to go to Jiangnan under the leadership of the crown prince Zhu Cihong, but several provinces in Jiangnan just happened to promote new education, and the whole people discussed natural science issues such as the 'prince question', and they did not believe this at all......
There was no way, John Tang could only go to the Great Qing Kingdom on the Korean Peninsula, hoping to save the people of the Qing Kingdom.
However, the popularization of the doctrine was still very unsatisfactory, he was almost captured by the Eight Banners and used as a coolie, and several priests were killed on the spot for resisting.
Fortunately, the regent Hong Chengchou had contact with Westerners, and he was also an official in the same dynasty as John Tang (Qintian Jian Zheng), which was also a colleague relationship, so he let them go.
John Tang had no choice but to return to Daming by boat, and mixed in Liangguang and Yunnan for more than two years, but he did not even develop a single believer.
In desperation, John Tang returned to Nanjing, hoping that with the help of his relationship with Sun Heding, he could meet the Ming Emperor again, propagate the teachings, and develop believers.
coincided with the Lantern Festival, and John Tang knew that there was a large flow of people in this area, so he hurried over after careful preparations.
But I didn't expect to meet Emperor Tianwu who was on patrol in micro-service here, which is really another great joy in life!
Tang Ruowang was overjoyed and was about to step forward to talk to Emperor Tianwu, but when he found that Emperor Tianwu was walking towards the Netherlands, he immediately panicked.
The Calvinist Jesuits of the Dutch people were at odds with John Tong's faction, and he naturally tried his best to prevent the Dutch from proselytizing in Daming.
John Tang said seriously: "Your Majesty, the Dutch wolf ambitions can't let them preach in the Ming Dynasty!" ”
Zhu Cihong smiled, a little speechless, why is this bad old man full of missions? It's so boring!
Ignoring him anymore, and without going to the mission in the Netherlands, Zhu Cihong took Wu Zhong into the main hall of Dabao'en Temple.
John Tang hurriedly put down his work and hurriedly followed, constantly telling about the missionary in the back.
He thought that Zhu Cihong believed in Buddhism, and he also did what he liked, and talked about his relationship with Buddhism.
Zhu Cihong stopped, turned around and said: "I am taking a micro-service this time, it is to distract my heart, I don't have to work with the priest to accompany me, just walk around, the priest can do his own thing." ”
This is an old man with faith, and he has made a lot of contributions to the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Cihong is not easy to drive people out in public, so he has to persuade him gently.
Tang Ruowang was still verbose, only to listen to Xu Sheng, who accompanied the driver, shouting: "You old hair, mother-in-law, my son-in-law will let you go!" Less verbose! ”
This rough voice immediately attracted a look of surprise from many people around.
Someone shook his head with a smile and said: "These Westerners are really like dog skin plasters, and they are really boring to persuade people to believe in religion every day." ”
Some people also threw a smile at Zhu Cihong to express their understanding.
Tang Ruowang was anxious, reasoned with the young man for a few words, and when he turned around, he saw that Zhu Cihong and Xu Sheng had long since disappeared.
Disappointed, John Tang sighed and prepared to leave.
At this time, a plainclothes Imperial Forest Army came over and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty's will, enter the palace in three days." ”
Tang Ruowang immediately turned his worries into joy, ecstatic, and was very grateful to the plainclothes Imperial Forest Army, and even more grateful to the Tianwu Army.
He didn't know that Emperor Tianwu did not support him to continue his mission, but was ready to send him back to his hometown in Europe, and follow the ocean-going fleet of the Ming Dynasty to return to Europe.
In the main hall of Dabao'en Temple, there is a continuous Sanskrit sound, as if floating in the air, sinking and undulating, refreshing people's hearts.
Xu Chenyun came out of the Buddha, and there was an extra nun by her side.
This nun Zhu Cihong is also familiar with it, her name is Yatu, she is the daughter of Huang Taiji and Bumu Butai, and the eldest princess of Gulun Yongmu of the Manchu Dynasty.
During the draft in the second year of Tianwu, Yatu was sent to Nanjing by Hong Chengchou, and was bullied by the eunuchs in the palace, and finally lost the election without accident, and became a miscellaneous palace maid in the Imperial City Huanyi Bureau, and continued to be bullied by the eunuchs and palace maids.
After Zhu Cihong's wedding, Queen Xu Chenyun was kind and released her from the palace.
Yatu was very grateful to Queen Xu, but she was helpless in Daming and could not return to the Qing Dynasty, so she finally chose to become a nun.
My father was killed by the fourteenth uncle, and my mother ran away with someone again, and there was more than one, as a pampered princess of the Qing court, she was bullied in the Ming court.
Since you can't marry Emperor Tianwu and turn over as a master, you can only marry and become a nun.
Before leaving, Yatu said that he wanted to pray for Daming.
In the end, her blessing came true, the Qing Dynasty died, and even her own mother came to Daming as a concubine.
Today, Yatu is the first time to see Emperor Tianwu who has had many relationships with her, but has never been seen.
He is so heroic and handsome, even if he is in civilian clothes, he also emits a dazzling light in the vast sea of people, which cannot be hidden.
Looking at the lovely-looking little nun in front of him, Zhu Cihong also sighed.
This woman is the sorrow of history, and the current situation has made her life full of tragedy.
Similarly, when the Qing army entered the customs in history, I don't know how many children of the Han family were also full of tragedies.
From beginning to end, Zhu Cihong didn't say a word, holding Queen Xu with one hand and the prince with the other, and walked away in style.
Looking at their departing backs, Yatu's eyes moistened.
This person who buried the Qing Dynasty single-handedly is a man he will never get........
......
After the end of the Lantern Festival, the yamen of the imperial court began to resume normal operation, and information from overseas was sent to the Qianlong case of the Qianqing Palace one by one.
One of the urgent pieces of information made Zhu Cihong pay the most attention.
Britain officially promulgated the "Navigation Regulations", and a fierce war of words broke out between the Netherlands and the British, and the smell of gunpowder on both sides was very strong!
Zhu Cihong knew that the first Anglo-Dutch war was about to break out!
It was a major event of the 17th century and a great opportunity for the Ming Dynasty to embark on a great voyage!
After the end of the English Civil War, the expansion route was resumed, and the navy was vigorously developed, and the "Navigation Regulations" were a big bomb.
The purpose of the British navigation regulations was to protect the development of the British industry and to exclude the competition of other European countries, especially the Netherlands, in trade, which was a product of the mercantilist ideas of the time, and also to protect the British economy.
There are always two sides to the story, there are advantages and disadvantages, and the promulgation of the Navigation Ordinance, although it protects the economy of the British mainland, it restricts the development of the colonial economy.
It was very inconvenient for the people of the colonies to buy or sell goods, and it was likely to cause dissatisfaction among the people of the colonies, especially the British colonies in North America.
Historically, the Navigation Ordinance was also one of the causes of the American Revolution.
