Chapter 123—The Coming of Christ (3)

Yang reformed and despised the Ming Dynasty's panacea "Buddha Lang machine".

"Franc machine? I know this, that is, you can make a Francophone cannon? "Yang Reform is still a little excited, now, he has a musket, the cannon has not yet landed, although he is ready to let Sun Yuanhua build a cannon, but it is said that Sun Yuanhua's technology is also learned from Westerners. This......

"Your Majesty the Emperor, we are indeed able to build a Francophone cannon." Tang Ruowang was full of confidence, although the performance of this emperor just now surprised him, but it did not exceed his expectations, this emperor was really interested in novel technologies and gadgets.

"But it is said that your identity is a missionary......" Yang Gengai changed his words and asked about the mission.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, yes, it is a missionary below. After graduating from the College of Rome, he qualified as a priest and was sent by the Church of Jesus to preach in the East. Facing the emperor of the east, John Tang was not ready to fool around, and told the emperor the truth about his situation. It's important to make a good first impression.

"Then since you have come to the East to preach, why did you build cannons again?"

"Your Majesty the Emperor Qiqi, we are helping the Ming Dynasty to build cannons, it is to deal with the northern enemy of the Ming Empire, the barbarian ...... called Jin, it is said that it is the Franco cannon we built that hit the leader of the barbarians, so that there is a great victory in Ningjin......" John Tang talked about the glorious history of the Franc machine, said with relish, and also hung the credit of the controversial "Ningjin Victory" in history on the head of the Franc machine, hanging on his own head.

"The cannon you made hit the leader of the boar skins? ......" Yang Gai shouted out in a lost voice, this, it was really a bit unexpected, I used to argue fiercely with others on the forum, and I always discussed whether I hit or not, who lied, who was true, but now it's good, and there is another one who fights for credit, claiming that the cannon they built killed Nurhachi, this history, it seems, is going to be re-dressed again.

Yang Gai decided to verify the real surname of this matter, and whether these Western missionaries had contributed to the "Ningjin Victory".

"Otomo, did they really build a Franco cannon for my court? Did you really contribute to the 'Ningjin Victory'? If this question is confirmed, then this history will have to be dressed again. Yang Reform quietly asked Wang Chengen beside him.

"Your Majesty, the slave maid only knows that the imperial court did buy a batch of cannons from Westerners in the second year of the Emperor's Apocalypse, as for whether they contributed to the victory of Ningjin, the slave maid is not clear." Wang Chengen is just a eunuch, knowing this, he already cares about the government very much, no matter how detailed it is, it is a secret. How could Wang Chengen know.

"Oh! ...... "This matter, it seems that you have to ask Sun Chengzong, or Yuan Chonghuan will know that they are the parties."

The emperor and his "butler" whispered, and John Tang heard it very clearly, and his self-confidence was full: our Buddha Lang machine is indeed powerful, this emperor is estimated to like it very much, and it seems that it is not difficult to capture the emperor's heart, and then, make a request to His Majesty the emperor, asking for support for our mission in the East, presumably, in this way, it will not be long before this can open the door to the coming of Christ and let the gospel of Christ spread all over the land of the East.

Yang Gengai thought about it for a while, and felt that it was better to put it down first and ask the astronomical telescope he was more concerned about.

"John Tong, I heard that you can still build an astronomical telescope? Can you watch the stars in the starry sky, the surface of the moon? "Yang Reform is going to build some astronomical telescopes to open the eyes of his three major classes and broaden their horizons, as for the matter of building cannons, for the time being, they are still going to hand it over to Sun Yuanhua.

Tang Ruowang saw that His Majesty the Emperor really asked about those novelties, and thought that his guess was really right, this young emperor was indeed more curious, and he liked novelty things, so he was energetic: "Your Majesty the Emperor Qiqi, you can indeed build an astronomical telescope in the next place, and you can also write a book in oriental characters." ”

In history, the evaluation of John Tang has the saying that "Confucianism is super-Confucian". In order to preach, we should strive to learn the civilization of the East and integrate the culture of the West and the East, so as to reach the point of "Confucianism".

"Do you have any books?" This, Yang Reform knew before, if not in advance, in the Ming Dynasty, suddenly a foreigner said to himself, he wrote a book about telescopes in Chinese, Yang Reform would definitely drop his jaw.

"Your Majesty Emperor Qiqi, yes, there is indeed a book, and it was written together with the officials of the Qin Tianjian of the Ming Dynasty, and with the help of the officials of the Qin Tianjian." Tang Ruowang saw that he could not cause the emperor too much surprise when he wrote books in Chinese, so he pulled in the officials of the Ming Dynasty's Qin Tianjian to strengthen his persuasiveness.

"Li Zubai?" As soon as Yang Gai heard what Tang Ruowang said, he immediately knew who this person was. If it weren't for Li Zubai's recommendation, Yang Reform might not have thought of Tang Ruowang when he would have thought of him.

"Your Majesty the Emperor of Qiqi, exactly." Tang Ruowang looked at the emperor in surprise, how could the emperor know so clearly?

[Hehe, this, John Tang's life is indeed better than the protagonist of many books, Niu B, the protagonists have to rely on copying, and stealing other people's achievements to get the chance to get on the top, but this one doesn't need to, write it yourself. Travel through the past and you don't have to do anything to mix a product, without any gold fingers. He would have written books and speeches, built cannons, telescopes, machinery, and predicted celestial phenomena such as eclipses. 】

"Hehe, this, you have to thank Li Zubai, if it wasn't for Li Zubai recommending you to me, you wouldn't be able to stand in front of me now."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Tang Ruowang replied to the emperor very seriously, and felt that Li Zubai was indeed thanks to this matter.

"I've read your book, and I've heard Li Zubai say that you made an astronomical telescope with your own hands?"

"Your Majesty the Emperor Qiqi, yes, you did make an astronomical telescope in Xia."

"Now, I need some telescopes, can you make them?" Yang Reform is still most concerned about this, and has built an astronomical telescope, this astronomy class, but it has been settled, and now his big thing is to let the three major classes open as soon as possible.

Tang Ruowang pondered for a while and replied: "Your Majesty, the principle of this astronomical telescope is in the book written below, but it may be difficult to build it. ”

"Why?" Are you still playing tricks on me? Yang Reform was a little angry. I've read your information, and I know that you built an astronomical telescope when you were in school, and now you still say it's difficult, and you want to lie to me? I know your past, the future Baidu otaku. If you want to perfunctory me, no way.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, the key to the telescope lies in the lenses, if there are no lenses, no matter what, no matter what, you can't build an astronomical telescope. And this lens is made of glass, in the next thought, in the Ming Dynasty, there is no place to make glass, can only buy from the West, so, back and forth, the time will be more than three years, and the glass is fragile, can not be troubled, otherwise, the glass will not be shipped to the East. ”

John Tang confidently explained the reason why he could not build an astronomical telescope in the East, and was full of pride that the West could build glass and astronomical telescopes.

Uh......s the reason? Yang Reform also felt that it was very sufficient, if he was not a traverser, it was indeed as Tang Ruowang said, if you want to build a telescope, you must buy glass from the West, this time, not more than three years, don't want to buy it, and it is extremely difficult to transport glass, fragile, if you want to build an astronomical telescope in the Ming Dynasty, it is extremely difficult.

Fortunately, I am a time-traveler and have already started to make glass. To build an astronomical telescope, there was no need to import glass from the West, and fortunately, as soon as I crossed over, I made glass my first priority. Well, since this matter has been settled, let's put it first, and start making glass by yourself, for the time being, you still need to keep it secret, and after your glass is made, see what excuse this foreigner has.

"In that case, the matter will be put aside for the time being." Yang was ready to put the matter aside. After a while, wait for your glass to come out, it's fast anyway, don't rush for a while.

John Tang thought that the emperor was about to end this summons, so he hurriedly said that he had brought a large number of gifts, for fear that if he said it slowly, the emperor would end this summons, and in that way, the gifts carefully prepared by the church would be in vain.

"His Majesty the Emperor, I have brought a lot of novel gifts to His Majesty the Emperor when I entered Beijing this time." Tang Ruowang hurriedly told him about the gift, for fear that if he said it slowly, the emperor would end the meeting.

Got a gift? Yang Reform is a little more interested again.

"Oh? Got a gift? What gift? ”

Tang Ruowang saw that the emperor was interested, and the confidence that he had just lost picked up again: "Your Majesty, this batch of gifts, there are many novelties, including the most advanced telescopes, as well as the Franco cannon, as well as clocks, the collection of the royal family of the Franc machine, etc., are all very novel, I think Your Majesty will like it." ”

Tang Ruowang was full of confidence, thinking that these Western things could impress the emperor, and these things, in the land of the East, were all novelties.

"Oh, hehe, it seems that you still have a lot of things with you, so let's go check it out." As soon as he heard that this John Tang had brought so many things, Yang Gai also became interested and decided to go and see what gifts this missionary had brought to himself.

Listen to him, and the Franco cannon? That's a lot of weight! Can it also be transported to the palace?

Clock? Has the West come out with that swinging pendulum clock?
