Chapter 766: The Three Great Gullies on the Sea

Thank you for the 100 yuan reward for eating the feces called the Year of the Beast Extended Worm, dear Wei will pray to Haotian God for your 0.0

……

The concept of "red man" is a bit difficult for Guo Jujing, and Li Zhizao further explained that this "dear Wei" is equivalent to the closest chamberlain to His Majesty the Emperor.

This time, Guo Jujing understood.

He has a deep understanding of the influence of His Majesty the Emperor's closest chamberlain.

As early as many years ago, when he and Matteo Ricci went north to Beijing and passed through Tianjin Wei, they were harassed by the emperor's influential chamberlain Ma Tang, and almost died on their trip to the north.

If this "dear Wei" is a figure like the eunuch surnamed Ma in Tianjin, it is obviously a good thing, because this "dear Wei" is a devout believer in God.

Having his help will be doubly effective in spreading the gospel of the Lord.

But Father Guo still did not make a decision on this, and he asked Li Zhizao's opinion very seriously.

This baptized high-ranking official of the Ming Empire was able to give him the most reasonable opinion.

Li Zhizao pondered for a moment, told Guo Jujing that he could go to Wusong to preach, and clearly told Father Guo that that "dear Wei" had a certain influence on His Majesty the Emperor.

Li Zhizao made this judgment, obviously based on his deep impression in the Qianqing Palace that day.

He still clearly remembers the expression on His Majesty the Emperor's face when he heard that there were huge profits overseas, and the words "make a fortune" that "dear Wei" said.

In his bones, Li Zhizao looked down on the eunuchs in the palace, especially a guy who dared to bewitch the emperor to go to sea to fight for profit.

But out of practical considerations, he had to admit that Guo Jujing and they really needed the help of this Wei Gonggong if they wanted to open up the situation in Jiangnan.

Because, the other party is now very trusted by His Majesty the Emperor, and at least for a few years, the other party will not fall.

After listening to Li Zhizao's opinion, Guo Jujing discussed with Jinnige, Stallone and other priests, and finally made two decisions.

The first was for Guo Jujing to take people to Wusong where this "dear Wei" was located, and Jinnige went to Hangzhou.

Second, it was still up to Stallone to return to Rome to report to the Pope, but before that, Stallone and Guo Jujing went to Wusong together to observe this "dear Wei" and call on all the power of the Jesuits in China to find out as soon as possible how this "dear Wei" became a believer in God.

"If dear Wei can stand the test, we can fight for him for the priesthood." Stallone said from the bottom of his heart, he was deeply impressed and attracted by the personality of "Dear Wei".

This is really the most perfect character in the East.

Based on the opinions put forward by "Dear Wei" on the missionary cause, as well as his devout belief in God, sincerity to the missionaries, and love for the people, Guo Jujing, as the vice president of the Society of Jesus in China, was also very interested in winning the influence of this influential young eunuch of the Ming Empire to officially join the Catholic Church.

Unlike Chinese civil officials, Westerners did not discriminate against eunuchs in any way, and even treated them with respect.

Jinnige had no opinion, and there was also a eunuch in Hangzhou who was interested in Catholicism waiting for him to fight for. Historically, Pang Tianshou, the celebrant eunuch of the Yongli Dynasty, was introduced to Catholicism by Jinnige and baptized.

Therefore, on behalf of the Catholic Church, Guo Jujing expressed his gratitude to "Dear Wei" and replied that he was willing to go to the area where "Dear Wei" was located.

"Okay, great!"

Father-in-law Wei was very happy and excited, and he was so excited that people hurriedly invited the missionary to Zuiyuan Tower.

The mess in the river is almost cleaned up, the ship is impossible to salvage, the shipwreck will be dealt with in Yangzhou, and the Caokou in this section will also take the initiative to salvage, otherwise, it will affect the transportation.

The only things that were salvaged were those boxes that floated on the river, and the rest that sank could not be salvaged. As for the recovery of the body of the missing person, it will also be disposed of locally.

The boat that caused the accident also took the initiative to dock, and the owner's family was colorless, waiting to fall.

Father-in-law Wei didn't deal with it, and this kind of thing will be managed by its own place.

Guo Jujing and other priests brought the entourage of immortal calamity, and listened to Hou Wei's arrangement very gratefully.

Wang Tiqian smiled and asked Li Zhizao to go back to Zuiyuan Building with him, and Lao Wang behaved very tactfully all the way, and a few words made Li Zhizao put the previous Xiao Wei father-in-law's reprimand for him in the back of his mind.

When the foreign merchants saw that the priests were gone, they didn't know whether they wanted to be together, so they stood there and stared blankly at the backs of the priests.

Fortunately, Guo Jujing remembered and hurriedly asked "Dear Wei" if he could arrange for these businessmen to prevent them from freezing and starving outside.

"Dear Wei" slapped his head, even said that he was negligent, and hurriedly asked his subordinates to call those foreign merchants and those guides and translators.

When he arrived at Zuiyuan Building, Gonggong Wei ordered two more tables to be opened in the kitchen to entertain foreign merchants and his entourage.

He invited Wang Tiqian and Li Zhizao to sit down, and invited Guo Jujing and other missionaries to sit with him, and his words and demeanor were very polite, and he really respected the priests very much.

The priests felt cared for, and their gratitude to "dear Wei" was indescribable.

After the banquet, Gonggong Wei asked the priest and the foreign businessmen to rest, and personally sent Wang Tiqian to rest.

Li Zhizao did not stay in Zuiyuanlou, he had friends of the same year in Yangzhou City, so he said goodbye to Guo Jujing and left Zuiyuanlou with his attaché.

Gonggong Wei knew that this Shaoqing of Taifu Temple was avoiding suspicion and avoiding suspicion of dealing with eunuchs.

He didn't go upstairs to see if the Zhao family's daughter-in-law was sleeping, but asked two translators to come over for the two translators who served the foreign merchants.

The two translators are both Cantonese, one is named Tao Jie and the other is named Zhang An.

Both of them have been in Macau for many years and are fluent in Spanish, Dutch, Italian and other languages.

This made Gonggong Wei think of a person, and this person was Zheng Zhilong, the father of the national surname.

It is rumored that Zheng Zhilong is a language genius, not only proficient in Hokkien and Nanjing Mandarin, but also proficient in Japanese, Dutch, Spanish, and Portuguese.

This kind of person is not to say that in the current era of the collision between the East and the West, it is placed in the previous life of the father-in-law, and he is also an elite of the top one.

From the other side, it can also be seen that in this world, even if you want to get ahead, you must be proficient in several Chinese languages.

In the vast sea, the collision of various forces between the East and the West, and the knowledge of a foreign language are all more opportunities.

It's a pity that my father-in-law's foreign language skills are very poor.

Don't learn the ABC, follow the level of the successor.

Tao Jie and Zhang An were suddenly called over, both a little nervous.

"You two don't have to be nervous, our family called you here because you have been dealing with foreign merchants for many years and want to know a lot about maritime affairs. So, we have something to ask you. Gonggong Wei said in a harmonious voice, for the two translators, there was no need for his old man to play any ventriloquism, and there was no need to intimidate anything.

"But I wonder what my father-in-law wants to know?" Tao Jie asked.

"It's nothing, it's just that we want to know what forces exist on this sea now, where their territory is, and what their strength is." Father-in-law Wei took a sip of tea after speaking, he drank a little too much wine just now, and his throat was thirsty.

It turned out that this was the question of this, Tao Jie and Zhang An breathed a sigh of relief, and the former hurriedly said: "Back to my father-in-law, there are now Dutch Hongmaoyi on the sea, Spain..."

Before he finished speaking, he asked Gonggong Wei to interrupt, waved his hand and said, "Our family is not asking you about foreigners, you are talking about our people." ”

"Our people?"

Tao Jie was stunned for a moment and didn't react.

Zhang An knew that the little father-in-law wanted to know, so he smiled and said: "As far as the little one knows, there are three big forces on the sea that are related to my country. ”

"Oh?" Father-in-law Wei leaned forward, "Which three?" ”

"One is Li Dan, who is called Kapitan by the Spaniards, the second is the Lin family of Siam, and the third is Yan Siqi."
