Yuan Huang looked at Matteo Ricci, and Matteo Ricci translated the meaning of Bishop Alexander, Yuan Huang let out an "oh", and then stroked his beard and sighed.

"Alas! These remnants of the Dongwu Kingdom are all barbaric and uneducated barbarians, they don't understand any article and truth at all, and they don't even know the etiquette, righteousness and shame, this time you went deep into their internal preaching, and it also hurt you, don't worry, the old man is here with troops, and he will definitely seek justice for you. ”

Then Yuan Huang pointed to the gift he brought.

"These are some food to nourish the body and some satin cloth, you take it, it is a little bit of Xiao Hou's heart, Xiao Hou really sent you here with great hope, hoping that you can educate them and make them no longer barbaric, but the result is ...... Alas......"

Looking at Yuan Huang's lost look, Matteo Ricci's eyes turned red, and then he translated this meaning to Bishop Alexander, and Alexander's eyes also turned red.

This missionary experience made them not only frightened, frightened, but also humiliated!

A great missionary opportunity, a missionary opportunity with the full support of the Chinese aristocratic generals, a great opportunity to knock on the door of the Chinese mission, but also to open the door of Alexander's road to the Pope, was gone......

Xiao Ruxun would be disappointed if he knew

Neither Alexander nor Matteo Ricci dared to think about it.

Yuan Huang secretly looked at Alexander and Matteo Ricci, and saw that their disappointed expressions did not seem to be fake, and knew that his acting was not bad, so he continued to act.

"Daming is a state of etiquette, the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, and has always been tolerant of Siyi, unless it is too much, otherwise Daming will never use swords, but now there is nothing to be done, these barbarians have lost their minds, and they no longer trust Daming, if they do not send troops to destroy them, I am afraid that it will become a disaster!"

Yuan Huang sighed deeply again: "Alas! I really can't imagine that the old man is old, and he still has to go out to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and I don't know how many people will be killed at this time, and how many people will die in vain! Alas! Time is also fate"

Matteo Ricci was immediately moved by Yuan Huang's compassionate attitude.

The current Matteo Ricci is just a rookie who has just begun to contact the new world, and he is not the old missionary bird who has insight into part of the life trajectory and ideology of the Chinese, and the current Matteo Ricci has not yet begun to communicate with the upper echelons of China, so naturally he cannot understand the art of such communication in Chinese officialdom.

Turning the black into white, the dead into alive, and beautifying the war of aggression as a royal Taoism are the basic skills of the Chinese elites, and they are also the basic skills that must be known, at least Yuan Huang beside Xiao Ruxun is a good hand.

No, in front of Yuan Huang, who has superb acting skills, Matteo Ricci was moved to tears.

Yuan Huang shook Bishop Alexander's hand again.

"When you are well recuperating, you will go back to Nan'an City to live first, I have already arranged it for you, and when Xiao Hou comes back, let's discuss it again!"

Matteo Ricci translated, and Bishop Alexander felt that there was no better way, so he had no choice but to agree.

Later, after Bishop Alexander returned to Nan'an City, he felt that he had not fulfilled his mission and did not fulfill his promise to Xiao Ruxun, but Xiao Ruxun sent troops to fight against the Meng people, and felt that Xiao Ruxun must not have a good impression of him, and it was difficult to open up a new situation after that.

So, disheartened, he felt shameless in the face of Xiao Ruxun, and two months later he set off for China on a European merchant's ship.

Matteo Ricci stayed anyway and decided to do his part no matter what.

When Bishop Alexander returned to China, he did not receive any reward for not completing the main task of opening up a new situation for missionary work in China, and for losing more than a dozen missionaries.

However, as the first person in the Holy See to have contact with the Chinese aristocracy, he had the experience of going to China to contact Chinese, and he was still reused by the Pope on the Chinese issue.

Alexander suggested that the Holy See spend some time to establish a harmonious and friendly relationship with Xiao Ruxun, and he had already opened the first step of the situation, and there was a missionary Matteo Ricci who had been in contact with Xiao Ruxun for a long time, and he suggested that Matteo Ricci be given a higher status to facilitate his actions.

The Pope allowed it, and soon, Matteo Ricci's status was raised, and as an excuse and a breakthrough point, Alexander, under the guise of opening up a Chinese diocese, began to rebuild his prestige and status.

And after that, it happened that the Holy See learned that the government of the Spanish king was extremely dissatisfied with China because of the Philippine island incident, and the Spanish king frantically planned to go on an expedition to the Philippines to take revenge, and Alexander, who became the pope's right-hand man, was suddenly angry.

In his opinion, if the stupid massacre of the Spaniards had not annoyed the Chinese, he would not have had to risk making that agreement with Xiao Ruxun, maybe he would have been able to negotiate with Xiao Ruxun in a more peaceful way, and he would not have to be hunted down and almost killed, making himself in a very embarrassing situation now.

Moreover, at that time, the European aristocracy was widely pursuing contact with the Chinese, doing business with the Chinese, obsessed with China's splendid culture and lofty products, and was very dissatisfied with the Spanish government's anti-anachronistic behavior.

The Holy See originally expected Spain to exert its strength as the vanguard of the Counter-Reformation, but now King Philip II of Spain is becoming more and more crazy, and he still has the upper hand in the battle here, and he actually has to send troops to expedition to China!

Isn't that crazy

Alexander was inclined to support China's position, but there were not many people who supported it, and it happened that at this time there were many people in the Holy See who were very dissatisfied with Philip II's behavior of not paying attention to the European war situation but paying attention to the Eastern war situation, and also intended to stop his madness, and the two groups hit it off.

As a result, under Alexander's efforts in various senses, the Holy See tended to support Alexander's opinion, and decided to use the Portuguese incident to put pressure on the Spanish government to stop Philip II's madness.

Spain's annexation of Portugal to achieve the unification of the peninsula was given by the Holy See, which supported Spain's annexation of Portugal and gave it righteous support.

Without the religious support of the Holy See, the name of justice of the Spaniards would be undermined, the legitimacy of the annexation of Portugal would be shaken, and the national position would become very passive.

Therefore, the Holy See threatened the Spanish government with this, saying that if they dared to send troops to fight with the Chinese and further damage the relations between China and Europe, it would support the Portuguese to restore their homeland, support the Portuguese to retake their homeland, and let their backyard catch fire.

The bankers of Genoa, who were the first to contact China, were actively preparing for business with the Chinese, and seeing the wealth flowing into their pockets, could not allow such serious damage to their interests to occur under any circumstances.
