Chapter 184: The End of the Ming Dynasty
, The list of beauty lottery, Zhou Shaoyu is too lazy to pay attention to it, anyway, even if he looks carefully, he may not be able to draw what he wants, he is too lazy to pay attention, and draws directly, and then, and then he smiled......
A.D. 1639, the twelfth year of Chongzhen.
This year is not a peaceful year, the Qing Dynasty that will succeed the Ming Dynasty has been established, and there are already large armies that have entered the territory of the Ming Dynasty and plundered.
At the beginning of the year, Hong Chengchou, who would be captured by the Qing army in a few years and then surrendered decisively, is currently the secretary of the military department and the right deputy governor of the imperial history, Ji and Liao military affairs.
It was also this year that Zhang Xianzhong revolted in Gucheng, and Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, was also waiting for an opportunity. The entire Ming Dynasty is already crumbling.
It was a scorching summer, Zhou Shaoyu was casually wandering around Nanjing, the capital of Liudu, and after figuring out the time at hand, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he was speechless.
Originally, I was very happy to draw it to the end of the Ming Dynasty, after all, the problem of seeds can be solved, and it is Li Xiangjun, one of Qin Huai Bayan, who is still drawn, Qin Huai Bayan, which is not able to write poetry and paint, can play and sing, hook up and go back to increase the strength of Shanhuai Pavilion.
And then it's also good that Shanhuai Pavilion's 'three plums' become 'four plums'.
But in 1639, it was when Li Xiangjun was sixteen years old when he combed it, combing it, that is, the first time he picked up customers, he only combed his braids before, and combed his hair after receiving customers, so there is such a saying.
Don't look at the age, but Li Xiangjun already has a great reputation, because of the eunuch party framed and punished, Li Xiangjun, who had a fallen family, was adopted as a righteous daughter by the famous prostitute Li Zhenli at that time since he was eight years old, and thus changed the original surname Wu to the surname Li, which gave Li Xiangjun's name.
Li Zhenli attaches great importance to Li Xiangjun's cultivation, and treats Li Xiangjun as her own, so it is not surprising that she became popular at a young age.
This is not the point, the point is that Li Xiangjun at this time has already had something to do with Hou Fangyu, who was later called one of the four princes of the late Ming Dynasty, which means that even if Zhou Shaoyu is prepared and brings a lot of gold and silver, even if he buys the right to comb, he can't win his heart.
Although the point is to come and bring the seeds back, by the way, to see if there are any good things to take away, but if people can't take them away, it's a bit of a pity.
And according to the original trajectory, Li Xiangjun was also miserable later, but he hung up at the age of thirty. If it can be avoided, of course, it is best to take it away.
Figuring out the location of Li Xiangjun's teaching workshop, hesitated, and was still not ready to contact it now, people now have a Hou Fangyu in their hearts, and it is useless to go to one or two by themselves.
Chongli Street, Hongwugang, West in Zhengyangmen, Zhou Shaoyu came here to find foreigners, of course, at present, the Ming Dynasty is called Yiren.
A few decades ago, the Italian missionary Matteo Ricci founded the fourth Catholic church in the interior, but in 1618, the three-year Nanjing Incident occurred, and the place was demolished for a time, and later allowed to preach.
In fact, at this time, it is not difficult to just get some seeds, many of them have been introduced to the Ming Dynasty, but the scope is not wide, but if you look for it carefully, you can always find it.
However, Zhou Shaoyu is planning to change something else, for example, a flintlock pistol that has been equipped for hundreds of years, if you have this thing in your hand, as long as you don't face many enemies, you are basically invincible, and your own safety is absolutely guaranteed, it's really not good, and you can have a revolver gun from before.
Zhou Shaoyu said, we are not picky.
Although more than ten years have passed, the demolished church has not been rebuilt, because of the overall environment and various reasons of faith, the success rate of the mission is very low, and some houses with a slight Western architectural style have been built here for exchange and mission.
Zhou Shaoyu is not religious, but he is also a person who came out of the era of the information explosion, and when he was fine, he also bought a thick Bible and read a lot, crossed it decently, prayed, and was immediately received in a friendly manner.
The missionary is bitter in his heart, the good situation at the beginning, the occurrence of a lesson plan, it will be difficult to save it for the next ten years, after all, no one has the bottom in their hearts, no matter how good you say, but what if there is another lesson plan? yes, no one wants to get into any trouble, and life is different before without this thing.
In these days, unlike later generations, English is not a lingua franca, the British Empire or something, the real rise will be two hundred years younger, and the most powerful Western European countries at present are Spain and Portugal.
Originally, Zhou Shaoyu wanted to show off the English that he hadn't spoken for a long time, but people heard it in English, but they couldn't tell what to do. So I can only endure the very strange tone of Chinese.
"I think the development of the church is inseparable from a word of money, but at present, it seems that your situation is not good, even if I am willing to donate some, it is a drop in the bucket, if not, how about we make a deal, I need something, whether you sell it directly to me, or can I get a match to buy what I like, I am willing to give you a certain amount of remuneration, how about it?"
Zhou Shaoyu said it directly, foreigners, you don't have to beat around the bush like that, just come directly.
His name, Richard, happily accepted the offer, which would make him earn a little money, make his life better, make it easier for him to go out as a missionary, and aspire to become a successful missionary like Matteo Ricci.
Zhou Shaoyu's smile is called a happy one, this name is really translated into it, this homonym is too interesting.
"So it's high-yielding grain seeds like potatoes, and some dried fruit seeds, oh? Cocoa seeds? No problem, flintlock pistol, there should be no problems, as for the number of bullets, I can only do my best. ”
Limad sorted out what Zhou Shaoyu wanted, and after confirming that it was correct, he said that he needed to send someone to contact those businessmen, and agreed on the time of the next meeting, and Zhou Shaoyu left satisfied.
It was not early, so he decided on the inn where he stayed, had a full meal, and then picked up his pocket, Zhou Shaoyu was ready to see what the Qinhuai River was like on the night of the Ming Dynasty.
It's night, the breeze is gentle, it's quite cool to walk on the riverside, the lights on both sides are bright, and the painting boats on the river are gently swaying, Zhou Shaoyu is very emotional, in a few years, this Daming will die.
When he first arrived, Zhou Shaoyu didn't know which Qinglou was better, and to be honest, after all, he had never entered this kind of place, it was still ancient, and he was quite nervous. As for Master Li, her own family is not counted at all.
After taking two deep breaths, I finally picked a building with good decoration and a lot of customers and walked in, and immediately a turtle man greeted me.
Hmm, it seems like we should give some money? It is said that there is such a rule, but I don't know how much to reward, so I secretly observed it, so I also took out a few small grains of silver and threw them over.
