Chapter seven hundred and sixty-six three major pirates at sea

Thank you for the 100 yuan reward for the edible beast named Yan Chou Nian. Dear Wei Hui prayed for you to God Haotian for 0.0

...

The concept of "Red Man" is a bit embarrassing Guo Jujing. Li Zhizao further explained that this "Dear Wei" is equivalent to the closest eunuch around His Majesty the Emperor.

This time, Guo Jujing understood.

He has a deep understanding of the influence of the closest eunuchs around His Majesty the Emperor.

Many years ago, when he and Matteo Ricci headed north to Beijing and passed through Tianjin Wei, he was troubled by the influential eunuch Ma Tang, who was around the emperor, and almost made their journey north die.

If this "Dear Wei" is a person like the eunuch named Ma in Tianjin, it is obviously a good thing, because this "Dear Wei" is a devout believer of God.

Being able to get His help will double the effect of spreading the Lord's gospel.

But Father Guo still did not make a decision on this, and he seriously asked Li Zhizao for his opinion.

This baptized high-ranking official of the Ming Empire could give him the most reasonable opinions.

Li Zhizao pondered for a moment, told Guo Jujing that he could go to Wusong to preach, and clearly told Father Guo that the "Dear Wei" had a certain influence on His Majesty the Emperor.

Li Zhizao made this judgment obviously based on his deep impression in the Qianqing Palace that day.

He still clearly remembers His Majesty's expression when he heard great profits overseas, as well as the three words "making money" mentioned by "Dear Wei".

At the core, Li Zhizao looked down on the eunuchs in the palace, especially a guy who dared to deceive the emperor into going out to sea to compete for profit.

But for realistic reasons, he had to admit that Guo Jujing and the others wanted to open up the situation in Jiangnan and really needed the help of Eunuch Wei.

Because the other party is now highly trusted by His Majesty the Emperor, and the other party will not collapse within at least a few years.

After listening to Li Zhizao's opinion, Guo Jujing, Jinnige, Stallone and other priests discussed it together and finally made two decisions.

The first is that Guo Jujing took people to Wusong where the "Dear Wei" is located to preach, while Jinnige went to Hangzhou.

Second, Stellen returned to Rome and reported to the Pope, but before that, Stellen and Guo Jujing went to Wusong together to observe this "Dear Wei", and called on all the powers of the Jesuits in Hua, to find out how this "Dear Wei" became a believer in God as soon as possible.

"If my dear Wei can withstand the test, we can fight for his clergy." Stellen said sincerely, deeply impressed and attracted by the personality of "Dear Wei".

This is really the most perfect person in the East.

Based on the opinions put forward by "Dear Wei" on the missionary cause, as well as his devout faith in God, his sincerity for missionaries, and his care for the people, Guo Jujing, as the vice president of the Jesuits in China, was also very interested in the efforts to formally join the Catholic Church by the influential young eunuchs of this Ming Empire.

Unlike Chinese civil servants, Westerners do not discriminate against eunuchs at all, and even respect them very much.

Jinnige had no objection. In Hangzhou, there was also an eunuch who was interested in Catholicism waiting for him to fight for it. Historically, Pang Tianshou, the eunuch of the Yongli Dynasty, introduced Catholicism to Jinnige and was baptized.

Therefore, Guo Jujing expressed his gratitude to "Dear Wei" on behalf of the Catholic Church and replied that he was willing to go to the area where "Dear Wei" was located to preach.

"Okay, great!"

Eunuch Wei was very happy and excited, and was so excited that he asked the missionary to quickly invite the Zuiyuan Tower.

The mess in the river is almost done, and it is impossible for the boat to be salvaged. The shipwreck will be dealt with in Yangzhou. The canal outlets in this section will also be actively salvaged, otherwise it will affect the canal transportation.

The salvaged items are just boxes floating on the river, and the rest that sinks cannot be salvaged. As for the salvage of the missing person's body, it will be disposed of by the local authorities.

The ship that caused the accident also took the initiative to lean on the shore, and the owner's family was dissatisfied and was waiting for his hair to fall.

Eunuch Wei has no choice but to deal with such matters, and he will take care of them in his own way.

Guo Jujing and other priests led their followers who survived the disaster, and were very grateful to listen to the arrangements of Eunuch Hou Wei.

Wang Ti smiled and asked Li Zhizao to go back to Zuiyuan Tower with him. Lao Wang was very sleek along the way. In a few words, Li Zhizao put the previous scolding of Mr. Wei's previous scolding of him.

The foreign merchants saw that the priests had left, but they didn't know if they would stand there, staring blankly at the backs of the priests.

Fortunately, Guo Jujing remembered and hurriedly asked "Dear Wei" whether he could arrange these businessmen so that they would not get hungry outside.

"Dear Wei" slapped his forehead and said he was negligent. He quickly asked his subordinates to call on foreign merchants, guides and translators.

When we arrived at Zuiyuan Tower, Eunuch Wei ordered two more tables in the kitchen to entertain foreign merchants and followers.

He asked Wang Tigan and Li Zhizao to sit down, and asked missionaries such as Guo Jujing to sit with him. His words and deeds were very polite and he was very respectful to the priests.

The priests felt caring and their gratitude to "Dear Wei" was indescribable.

After the banquet, Eunuch Wei asked the priest to arrange for a rest between the foreign merchants, and personally sent Wang Tigan to rest.

Li Zhizao did not stay in Zuiyuan Tower. He had friends of the same year in Yangzhou City, so he talked to Guo Jujing and the others and left Zuiyuan Tower with his entourage.

Eunuch Wei knew that the young minister of Taipu Temple was avoiding suspicion and avoiding the suspicion of dealing with eunuchs.

Instead of going upstairs to see if the Zhao family's daughter-in-law was sleeping, he asked someone to find two translators who served the foreign merchants.

Both of these translators are from Guangdong, one is called Tao Jie and the other is called Zhang An.

Both of them have been living in Macau all year round and are proficient in several languages ​​such as Spanish, Dutch, Italian, etc.

This reminded Eunuch Wei of a man, Zheng Zhilong, the father of the Guo surname.

It is rumored that Zheng Zhilong is a language genius. He is not only familiar with Minnan and Nanjing Mandarin, but also Japanese, Dutch, Spanish and Portuguese.

Not to mention this kind of person is in the current era of collision between the East and the West, or in the previous life of his father-in-law, he is also an elite.

From another perspective, we can also see that in this world, if you want to make a name for yourself, you must be proficient in several languages.

In the vast ocean, various forces in the East and the West collided, and more knowledgeable foreign languages ​​would be more likely.

Unfortunately, my father-in-law's foreign language skills are very poor.

If you don’t learn ABC, you should be the level of being a successor.

Tao Jie and Zhang An were suddenly called over, both nervous.

"You two don't have to be nervous. Our family calls you here because you have been dealing with foreign merchants all year round and want to know a lot about sea affairs. So, we have to ask you some things." Eunuch Wei said in a harmonious voice. For the two translators, he didn't need to speak any ventriloquism, and there was no need to intimidate anything.

"But I don't know what my father-in-law wants to know?" Tao Jie asked.

"It's nothing, it's just that our family wants to know which forces exist on the sea now, where is their territory, and what is their strength." After Eunuch Wei said that, he drank a little too much wine just now and his throat was thirsty.

It turned out that this was the one who asked this. Tao Jie and Zhang An breathed a sigh of relief. The former quickly said: "Reply to my father-in-law, there are now Dutch Red-Farewell Yi on the sea, Spain..."

Before he finished speaking, he asked Eunuch Wei to interrupt and waved his hand and said, "We are not asking you about foreigners, you are talking about our country."

"My people?"

Tao Jie was stunned and did not react.

Zhang An knew that the young man wanted to know, so he lost a smile and said, "As far as I know, there are now three major forces on the sea related to our country."

"Oh?" Eunuch Wei leaned forward, "Which three thighs?"
