Qin Mu spread his right hand, put his five fingers together, pointed his middle finger on his forehead and said "because of the father", when he pointed at his chest, he said "and the son", and when he said "and the name of the Holy Spirit" from his left shoulder to his right shoulder, Zuihou folded his hands and said: "Hallelujah!" ”

On the other side, Tang Ruowang, who was tall and had messy hair, suddenly widened his eyes, he had worked hard to preach for many years, but he had made very little progress in the Ming Dynasty, and there may be many people who could complete this set of gestures like Qin Mu, but there were not many people who knew that they should pronounce "because of the father" when nodding their foreheads and "and son" when they nodded their chests, let alone the sentence "hallelujah" because they had never taught this sentence.

The Chinese are not easy to fool, and John Tang and his companions came to preach, in line with the principle of simplifying the complex and integrating the Confucian principles, even these gestures were simplified, and when doing this set of gestures, only when Zuihou put his hands together, he said "Amen!" ”

"Lord Qin is a follower of Jesus?" Tang Ruowang asked in surprise, speaking a pure official language.

"I'm looking forward to Lord Tang turning me into a believer in Jesus." Qin Mu showed a bright smile.

Tang Ruowang is following Song Yingxing, was forcibly kidnapped by Ye Buhui, last year just after Huguang, Qin Mu ordered Huang Lianshan, let him send someone into Beijing to kidnap Tang Ruowang, but unfortunately the people who entered Beijing were empty, Shanxi was in danger at that time, Chongzhen sent Tang Ruowang to Shanxi to manufacture artillery.

The people who didn't collect it at night had to chase him to Shanxi, Tang Ruowang looked like a Westerner, but it was not easy to do, and the secret agents who didn't collect it at night took a lot of trouble to finally tie him up to Wuchang.

After listening to Qin Mu's words, Tang Ruowang was a little disappointed and began to look at Qin Mu carefully. He has been in Daming for more than twenty years, except for his appearance, others are already similar to Chinese, and Qin Mu's magical rise experience also makes him very curious.

"Those people were sent by Lord Qin, right?"

"Where you are offended, look at Lord Tang Haihan." Qin Mu Daoqian's tone was very sincere. But it doesn't seem to take the kidnapping matter too seriously, "The war in the north is endless, and it is no longer suitable for Lord Tang to stay in the north." ”

It's almost June, the weather is very hot, fortunately, the flowers and trees in the palace of the king of Chu are Fusu, and there is a cool breeze between the palace ponds.

Tang Ruowang took a sip of tea and said, "Lord Qin went to great lengths to find me, what are you going to do?" ”

Qin Mu said directly: "First, I need Master Tang's knowledge. I enrolled 200 students between the ages of eight and twelve at the Yuelu Academy in Changsha, and I hope that Master Tang will teach them and teach them the knowledge of mathematics, astronomy, geography, mechanical mechanics, and chemistry that he is good at. As a reward, I will help Mr. Tong build a church in Changsha and support him in spreading Jehovah's gospel in the territory under my authority. ”

"Do I have a choice?"

"Hahaha"

Qin Mu didn't expect that Tang Ruowang still had some sense of humor, indeed. Qin Muhua kidnapped him with so much effort, which in itself did not give him a chance to choose.

"I heard that Mr. Tong was born in Cologne on the Rhine."

"Yes, Lord Qin has also heard of Cologne?"

"For some unknown reason, I am so sad; An old fairy tale. I can't always forget. It was late, the air was cold, and the Rhine flowed quietly; The glow of the setting sun shone on the mountain. The most beautiful maiden sat on it with a radiant look; Golden jewelry shimmers. She combed her golden hair. She combed with a golden comb and sang a song; The tone of this song has a charming magic. Boatman in a boat. Feel the pain of rhapsody; He didn't look at the reef in the water, but he just looked up at the heights. I know that the zuihou waves, engulfing the boatmen and boats; With her singing, Lorelei created this disaster. ”

"Ah, Lord Qin actually knows the legend of the Lorelai Mountain Cliff," Tang Ruowang looked surprised.

"I've only heard of some of them, but I don't know much."

Although Qin Mu didn't say much, the distance between them was suddenly shortened, Tang Ruowang had been away from his hometown for almost thirty years, and at this time, he could listen to people talk about his hometown in the east, which was thousands of miles away, and there was both nostalgic sadness and unexpected joy in his heart, and the two were mixed together, which made him sigh.

"Then Lord Qin, have you ever heard of our Cologne Cathedral?"

Qin Mu felt that Tang Ruowang at this moment did not look like a learned missionary, but like a child full of expectations, even a little bit related to his hometown could make him reluctant to give up.

"I know that Cologne Cathedral has been built for hundreds of years, and it seems to be unfinished, and it is located on the banks of the beautiful Rhine, and it is towering and magnificent."

Qin Mu has never been to Cologne, and what he knows is related to Cologne, in fact, there is so much uh, there seems to be a Cologne air conditioner, but I am not sure if the Cologne air conditioner is from Cologne's jishu.

Next, John Tang happily introduced his hometown, saying that their Cologne city is the residence of the archbishop, saying that Cologne has a circumference of 12 li, and has opened 12 gates, which is the largest city, and its population even exceeds that of Paris and London;

In addition, the city of Cologne has a special privilege: all goods passing through Cologne must first be sold in the city for three days before they can be further transshipd, which plays a great role in promoting the economic development of Cologne.

In short, as if John Tang hadn't had a chance to speak for ten years, he poured beans and described the scenery of his hometown to Qin Mu one by one.

Qin Mu was also very interested in this (of course, it must include the blonde beauties in Germany), and he interjected from time to time, zuihou When asked how many people there were in Cologne, one of the most populous cities in Europe, John Tang replied that when he came, the population of Cologne was about 50,000.

"Fifty thousand?" Qin Mucha squirted out the tea in his mouth, 60,000 people or one of the largest cities in Europe?

Well, Li Zicheng pulled up an army of millions at every turn, this is all a legend.

Qin Mu immediately corrected his attitude, it is one thing to have fewer people, but now it is a fact that the West's science and technology have gradually led China, by the way, what famous scientists are there in the West at this time? Qin Mu didn't know much, just Galileo, so he hurriedly asked John Tang and said, "Master Tang, have you heard of Galileo?" ”

"When I was studying at the Collège de Rome, Mr. Galilet was our teacher, he was a very learned man, especially in astronomy and physics, he also invented the telescope and the thermometer, etc., but when I was about to graduate, Mr. Galileet had a tendency to betray God, and he began to preach the heresy of Copernicus."

Speaking of Galileo, John Tang was gushing, Qin Mu could see that there was a certain contradiction in his opinion of Galileo, on the one hand, he admired Galileo's knowledge, and on the other hand, he was disappointed in Galileo's "heresy" preaching.

Qin Mu interrupted him and said, "Master Tang, if I want to invite Mr. Galileo to my Daming, can you do it?" ”

Tang Ruowang shook his head and said: "I have been in Daming for more than twenty years, and when I came, Mr. Galileh was almost sixty years old, and even if he is still alive, he is eighty years old. ”

Qin Mu couldn't help but sigh secretly, it was a pity that there was only one famous European scientist in this era that he knew, and it was very likely that he would not be alive.

"Lord Tang, can you write a letter back to the Holy See, and send more people who are knowledgeable in astronomy, mathematics, physics, and mechanical production to the East, and if you can, I will persuade the emperor of Nanking to support your mission in the Ming Dynasty, and I myself promise to help you build five churches in different cities for you to preach."

John Tang has lived in the Ming Dynasty for more than 20 years, serving in the Jingshi Qin Tianjian, and he is also very clear about the situation in the Ming Dynasty.

The two chatted for a long time, and John Tang finally failed to resist the temptation and promised to write back to the Holy See and let the Holy See send more talents over.

And he himself was sent to the General Armament Department by Qin Mu the next day, although the Hongyi cannon was cumbersome, it could still play a great role in defending a big city like Wuchang.

We have to make some quickly, in short, we can't just let the Manchus bombard us, but we have no power to fight back.
