Because of his superb violin playing, Mr. Sebui Capasa became a guest of the royal palace and even the major palaces, and the monthly training of musicians was greatly reduced.
Because he liked porcelain, some nobles in the capital also gave away some of their exquisite antique porcelain collections. Matteo Ricci once settled an account with Capassa. If Mr. Capassa returned to China now and sold the porcelain in his hands, If he loses, his liquid assets may surpass the Grand Duke Medici of Tuscany and become the richest man in Florence.
Capasa was so dizzy after listening to the accounts that Matteo Ricci settled for him that he couldn't help but brag to the envoy when he was drunk. This caused a stir, and everyone in the envoy who had some talent took the initiative to report it to Hong Kong. He visited temple officials in order to obtain the same treatment as Kapasa.
As a result, a strange sight appeared in the capital - for several consecutive issues, "Xinmin Daily" published small advertisements for training, including but not limited to: oil painting teaching, clock repair, Western cartography, etc. Among them were guys with experience in ocean navigation. , it was snapped up by British dignitaries on the first day the advertisement was published.
It can be said that apart from the fact that the non-religious members of the mission often attracted onlookers when they went to the streets, their lives in the Ming Dynasty were very happy, and all of them made a lot of money - and needed to return to Europe to cash out.
The only inconvenience is that because they are not ascetic priests, they always have physiological needs to be satisfied. However, the old madam of the high-end brothel in the capital dislikes their strange appearance and strong body odor, and does not allow them to go in and spend money - so they hold back. A long time.
One time, Kapasa couldn't bear it anymore and asked Tu Long, a layman from Honglu Temple. In this regard, Tu Long was a top expert in Ming Dynasty officialdom. He looked at Kapasa's face flushed. , couldn't help but sneered: "You barbarians can't go to brothels, but if you have money, can you still lack women?" That day, they took him to the "Ajar Door Style Street", which opened the door to a new world for these foreign devils.
This kind of cultural exchange cannot be sunny and snowy, otherwise it will not be down-to-earth. In less than half a month, the mission's collective nickname has been revealed at the Fengyue venue in the capital: "Ruyi Man." Some people are also called "Donkey Yi", which expresses both. A meaning.
At this time, the Ming Dynasty was in the late stage of liberation, so there was no pressure for everyone to communicate about such things. Some rich second generations in the capital were dissatisfied when they heard the words, so they couldn't help but send posts to treat guests and discuss things with each other - and even told the legend of Lu Yi's extraordinary talents. The streets are full of them. Although these barbarians cannot last long, they do look weird: they look more and more like donkeys.
…
Let’s not talk about the chaos among the envoys for now. On the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month in the tenth year of Wanli, King Shunyi, as described by Mr. Capassa in his letter to Duke Medici, finally led the tribute team to travel nearly a thousand miles. Before the arrival of the New Year, he braved the wind and Snow rushed from Guihua City to the capital.
When the team arrived at the Daming Gate, Gao Qiyu, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, led the Privy Council and relevant officials from the National Security Bureau were waiting outside the city gate to welcome King Shunyi with royal courtesy. King Shunyi Xin Ai Huang Taiji couldn't bear it clearly and hurriedly jumped out of the carriage. Kneel down on the ground and say polite words.
Gao Qiyu secretly praised Huang Taiji for his cleverness, but several generals in the Privy Council cried out in their hearts that it was a pity. They all had bright eyes, praying that Huang Taiji suddenly lost his head, and the more crazy the better. But unfortunately, King Shunyi faced the Ming Dynasty. The posture of kneeling at the door is very ecstatic, the buttocks are stuck out so high, and it is hard to find fault with the way that the whole body is slumped to the ground.
After Huang Taiji stood up, he looked at the burning eyes of the generals behind Gao Qiyu, and his heart was beating wildly like a deer in his arms. His heart said that my Zhong Jin was right, all of them were expecting me to make a mistake.
Woolen cloth.
This king of Shunyi was honored as Xin'ai Huangtaiji, and his full name was Bo'er Jijin. Senggedu Gulentemuer was the eldest son of the old Shunyi king Ada Khan. When he was young, he was famous for his bravery, and he was the best among all tribes with bow and horse.
One of the Five Mongolian Warriors. But now he is in his fifties and his old age is beginning to show, and he does not have the heroic appearance of the past outside the Ming Dynasty.
At the beginning of last year, the old king of Shunyi, Ada Khan, fell ill. Although the emperor urgently sent doctors and medicines, Ada Khan died before the doctor arrived. His son Xin Ai Huang Taiji followed the Mongolian rules of remarrying his stepmother.
Zhong Jinhatun, the head wife of the old King Shunyi, successfully inherited the throne of King Shunyi in summer.
Zhongjin Hatun married the old Shunyi King when he was nine years old. He is thirty-three years old this year. However, Xin Ai Huang Taiji is already old and ugly, so he was rejected by Zhongjin Hatun Chou and was unwilling to marry him. He rode with him on horseback.
The cavalry of the headquarters ran away from Guihua City.
Because Zhongjin Hatun holds the right to sign the trade with the Han Dynasty, it does not matter if she runs away, the entire Monan Mongolia has lost the legitimacy of the trade with the Han Dynasty.
He mounted his horse and chased after him in person, singing and singing in pursuit, all the way to the outskirts of Xuanda University.
When Zheng Luo, the governor of Xuanda, learned about this, he couldn't laugh or cry. He sent an envoy to tell Zhongjin Hatun, "If my wife belongs to King Shunyi (referring to Huang Taiji), she will not lose the favor of the court, otherwise she will be just a woman on the fortress."
Zhongjin Hatun was frightened after hearing this, so she had no choice but to agree to marry Huang Taiji.
The new King of Shunyi successfully took over the throne and reported it to the imperial court for approval. Zheng Luo took great credit for the fact that Feng Dy was not heard from outside the Nine Borders. He reported the cause and effect to the imperial court, and the Political Affairs Hall and the Privy Council put forward two opposite opinions:
The Zhengshitang believed that Zheng Luodong had noticed the secret and sent an envoy to calm down the border affairs. He proposed to reward him and give him the title of Minister of War. The Privy Council believed that Zheng Luotong had missed the opportunity to flatten the desert and southern Mongolia - if Zhongjin Hatun and Huangtai Jiqi
After the discord was over, the imperial court could support any party and send troops in any name to bring Monan Mongolia under its control.
After the lawsuit was brought to Zhu Yijun, it triggered a deep introspection by Zhu Yijun - because in recent years he had focused all his energy on internal affairs and the southwest, and had not formulated a new policy for northern Xinjiang, which resulted in the failure of local officials and the court to achieve
It's the emperor's fault to be consistent and keep things idle.
Mistakes must be corrected. Zhu Yijun immediately organized a state affairs meeting. After everyone argued at the meeting, Zhu Yijun made the final decision and decided to get more involved in Montenegro affairs.
After the policy was decided, everyone knew what to do. Zhongjin Hatun had already married Huang Taiji. There was nothing to do in this direction. We could only slowly look for opportunities.
Unexpectedly, drowsiness came to the pillow. After the death of King Shunyi, his younger brother Kunduliha, the lord of the Karaqin tribe, fished in troubled waters and joined forces with his neighbor Tumen Zasak Tuhan to plunder the tribute market, intending to make a profit - because he did not kill anyone.
, the news was transmitted a little slowly, but it was still caught by the court.
This Tumen, known as Zasak Tuhan, is a descendant of Chahar Khan, whose father is named Kuden Khan. During the reign of Kuden Khan, Anda Khan rose up, and Kuden Khan became very popular.
Consciously moved the Khan court to the edge of Liaodong and the Jurchens, surrendered to Anda, and survived.
When it comes to Tumen's generation, the Great Khan is unable to compete with Anda. He is also very well-behaved on the border of Liaodong and generally does not get involved in the messy affairs between Wang Gao and Liaodong. Therefore, these days are getting poorer and poorer.
The authority is gone, and the major tribes under his control basically do their own thing.
In the ninth year of Wanli, Tumen Khan was instigated by Kundu Liha and went to the border market to trade while he was escaping from his marriage in Zhongjinhatun. Of course he was rejected because he could not provide formal procedures. Then they used this as an excuse to plunder Han merchants and make large packages.
The small package carried a lot of luggage back.
When the news reached the capital, the imperial court, which had long been envious of the Tumen Khan's territory, could not let go of this opportunity. The emperor issued an edict and sent troops to Daning and Liaodong. Before the end of autumn, they successfully met in the north of the Khan's court.
A battle of annihilation and two lackluster pursuit battles resulted in a total of more than 4,000 beheadings, and the third great Khan of Chahar, Zasaktu, was beheaded.
At the beginning of the tenth year of Wanli, the emperor announced to the world that the Ming Dynasty had added the province of Rehe and stationed Liuguan. In the summer, with the remaining power of Tumen Zhasak Tuhan killed, the imperial court issued an edict ordering King Shunyi to come to Beijing to submit a tribute list and pay tribute.
——This is why King Shunyi behaved like this outside the Ming Dynasty.
