Chapter 415 Kan fainted!
When Wu Youwei arrived, he happened to hear a person with an accent saying: "We are missionaries who believe in God, and I am a bishop!"
"This... bishop, I'm the head of the Sangha here, so I don't care about the affairs of the Fanbang sect like you!" Tian Dali said helplessly: "You are not monks."
So this is out of his control.
Huang A Xing on the other side also said: "I'm the director of the Daoist Society here. Well, you are not Taoists, so I can't take care of you!"
"We can take care of ourselves." This one felt that he was right.
"Then you can take care of yourself." Wu Youwei walked in: "What are you doing here?"
A few missionaries are well-raised now, plus they have cut their hair and shaved their beards, and they are all handsome, especially the bishop, who is a blond man who may have been well educated, and he has a kind of nobility style of elegance. "We take care of ourselves." One of the teaching assistants said, "But we also want to spread the gospel of God here.
"Oh, then you can spread the word." Wu Youwei said: "But this is the county government, and no one who has nothing to do is not allowed to come in.
"No, no, dear county magistrate, we are here for something!" The teaching assistant said, "We have to work here, and we need our own believers, believers, do you understand?"
"Understood." Wu Youwei nodded: "But this is my yamen, not your church.
"Oh!" Everyone was surprised, and the teaching assistant was even more surprised: "Dear magistrate, you actually know that what we need is a church? Not a Buddhist hall?"
"What's the matter?" Wu Youwei said: "During the Yuan Dynasty, didn't your Marco Polo come to our east? He said at that time that you were in the west, and our Zheng He and Eunuch Zheng also went to your place.
It doesn't matter whether he has been there or not, anyway, he said he has been there.
"Oh, thank God, this is really the ancient oriental country recorded by Marco Polo!" Several people seemed very excited: "He once said that this is a truly wonderful country."
"Wrong." Wu Youwei shook his head: "That's just what he saw, and the Yuan Dynasty is nothing in the eyes of us Han people. Our Ming Dynasty is much stronger than the Yuan Dynasty."
This point must be explained, who made Marco Polo come at the wrong time!
When he came, it was during the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, the Mongols had conquered more than half of the earth. Could they not be strong?
Moreover, the views of the Mongols are different from those of the Han, but very close to those of the Westerners.
They also like gold and silver utensils very much, while Han people like porcelain more.
"It's stronger than it was then?" The bishop was even happier: "That's great!"
Wu Youwei frowned: "Well, this place is not for you, go back!"
"No, we need to have our own office. Please allow us to build our own church." The bishop said, "We want to spread the gospel of God. In this fertile land, God's light should shine."
"If you want to preach, you must obtain the permission of our emperor." Wu Youwei simply set them a goal that will never be possible: "Our emperor is the owner of this rich land, and his status is equivalent to yours. Pope.
The bishop and the others choked. Although they are bishops and teaching assistants in the Holy See, what is the pope?That is His Majesty the Pope!
Even the cardinals didn't say they could meet the pope, let alone they were cardinals, not even cardinals.
There are seventy cardinals under one cardinal, and there are as many as twelve cardinals in the Holy See!
The cardinal is below the cardinal, and the cardinal is the regional bishop.
In fact, the Holy See sent them here to preach, just to explore the way, across such a huge ocean, who has the ability to cross it?
"Do you know our pope?" The bishop thought for a while, "How much do you know?"
"Are you from the Holy See?" Wu Youwei looked at their attire: "The bishop of Rome, the living representative of Christ, the successor of the chief apostle Peter, the western patriarch, the metropolitan of the Roman province, the monarch of the Vatican, and the Pope."
This is the definition of the Pope within the Catholic Church.
According to the Catholic Church, he is the successor of the apostle Peter.He is the leader of Roman Catholics all over the world, managing the church on behalf of Jesus Christ and preaching the gospel.
Elected by cardinals for life.
"Oh!" The bishop was surprised: "You know it so clearly!
"This is not a place to talk, go to my study." Wu Youwei saw that everyone was looking here, so he took everyone to his study.
They expected to see a more magnificent place, but Wu Youwei's study surprised them even more.
Drinking cups are made of glass.
What a big mutton fat jade ornament, and all kinds of things that they think are very exquisite, especially the embroidery ornament on one side.
It was hair embroidery, and what was embroidered was an eagle spreading its wings to fly, and the feathers were as shiny as the real thing.
Wu Youwei had already drunk a pot of tea, and they were still looking at the things in the room.
This time I didn't dare to reach out, because I was afraid of breaking it, and they were penniless and couldn't afford to pay.
After they had seen enough, Wu Youwei let them sit down. The bishop smiled bitterly and said, "Oh, I'm sorry, we were rude. The things here are not dazzling, but they are very expensive."
"It's okay." Wu Youwei said, "Do you remember how long you stayed on the desert island?"
Everyone shook their heads: "There is no way to record time there, and we almost couldn't come to this rich country."
Everyone is in awe.
"When we left the Holy See, we had a team of 300 priests, [-] guards and [-] sailors on board. We traveled to many places and encountered cannibals!" The bishop couldn't help red when he thought of those experiences. He closed his eyes: "I don't know how many islands I have passed, and there are as many pirates as stars.
In the end they were the only ones left.
The difficulties and obstacles along the way, if not supported by a belief, they would not be able to persevere.
"Many people regard us as monsters and evil spirits, and some want to burn us to death..." Along the way, they encountered many ignorant people.
"Some people think we are cannibals!" One of the teaching assistants smiled wryly: "God knows, we are also most afraid of cannibals!"
In the end, they encountered a storm and were washed to the island. Others were buried in the belly of the fish. They thought it was God's blessing to them, so they became more convinced and wanted to spread the gospel to the East.
"Then what happened when you left?" Wu Youwei asked again: "Is Evia still there?"
"Of course it is." The bishop thought for a while: "When we set off from Rome, Constantinople was attacked by the Turks, and Count Dracula was ordered to conquer the Turkish army.
"Oh?" Wu Youwei thought for a while, "Has Russia been established?"
"How do you know?" The other party widened his big blue eyes: "Before departure, Grand Duke Yin Fan III of All Russia did send letterhead and gifts to the Pope, hoping that the Holy See would recognize his status.
"That was 1462, the sixth year of Tianshun... Now it is 1476... It took you 14 years from the Holy See to my Ming Dynasty!" Wu Youwei was surprised.
"Really? We can't perceive the passage of time." The other party said: "You know, in our place, everything is under the light of God..."
"You can pull it down!" Wu Youwei waved his hand: "Two years before you came here, Greece was ruled by the Ottoman Empire, and the Italian Vinicola invented the engraving metal gravure printing method. These are all leftovers from our play. Our movable type was popular hundreds of years ago. The University of Basel was founded, Erasmus came to teach here from Rotterdam, and Basel gradually developed into a humanistic center north of the Alps. The Earl of Warwick (nicknamed "King" Makers") and others were ready to launch an invasion of England, and soon established strongholds in Kent and London, where they had widespread support. Oh, it is said that he was supported, at no small cost, by a representative of the Pope, Then they marched north. Henry led the army to meet the south while Margaret and Prince Edward stayed in the north. The Battle of Northampton in July, was it disastrous for the Lancastrians? Richard Nay, Earl of Warwick With the help of the rebels from the Lancaster family, the York army led by Weir captured King Henry and took him to London as a prisoner. The Irish Parliament established the official currency unit for the first time, the Irish Pound, whose value is slightly lower than that of the pound.” Wu You In order to see their pale faces, he continued to hit them: "I remember that the ratio was 15 Irish pence to 12 British pence? Right?"
"You, you, how did you know?" The bishop was terrified.
Holding tightly to the cross hanging around his neck, thousands of miles away, how does he know what happened there?
He can, God promise!
They never said any of these things!
Even some things, they didn't know the inside story when they left.
"I know a lot more." Wu Youwei narrowed his eyes: "I also know that Prince Enrique has returned to the embrace of the God he believes in."
In fact, it means dead.
"You even know Prince Enrique?" The bishop was going crazy.
"Of course!" Wu Youwei recited his historical knowledge in a flat tone.
To say that this Prince Enrique, his life is very "prince".
He is Prince Henry, known as "The Navigator".
He is the son of King Noon I, the leader of Portuguese voyages, the active agitator and promoter of the great voyage. In 1415, Noon I and Prince Henry led troops across Gibraltar and attacked Morocco.
This event is of great significance to the development of Portuguese navigation.
Because this Prince Henry learned important information about the trade between Arabs and African blacks from Muslim captives.
Well, this is Prince Henry, a fanatical Christian who has spent his life fighting the Muslims.
Around 1420, he established a nautical school and trained a large number of skilled navigators.
Madeira Islands and Azores Islands were discovered successively and became the supply bases for Atlantic voyages.
In 1445, the Portuguese fleet discovered the Cape Verde Islands.
In the same year, the Portuguese began to break into Black Africa and built a fortress in West Africa as a base for plunder.
The gold, ivory, and black slaves looted from Black Africa enabled the Portuguese to continue to expand eastward.
So that every time the Portuguese arrived in a place, they established a stronghold and used the proceeds to carry out the next step.
Prince Henry has never participated in any expedition voyage in his life. After all, he is a prince, but he is the "navigator" of the Portuguese pirate ship.
By the time of his death in 1460, Portuguese navigation had begun to flourish.
legendary?
The real legend who "strategizes and wins thousands of miles away".
It is said that his loyalty to his beliefs is pathological, and he has fought for his beliefs all his life.
Wu Youwei talked about his deeds eloquently: "But it is not possible here. We are a multicultural and gentle country. Some people believe in Buddha, while others believe in Taoism. Some people believe in witch gods, and some people believe in Changshengtian. If you If you can't tolerate other people's beliefs, why should you let them tolerate your teachings?"
The Holy See is a dominant family in the West, but it is unbelievable in the eyes of Easterners.
Especially Daming, as mentioned earlier, Daming's attitude towards religion, the pope, with the word "imperial", does anyone know the taboo?
What's more, the Holy See, with the word "Ting", is a foreign sect, so it's a ghost that Daming can accept it!
