"Several lieutenants!" His wife threw herself at the feet of the leader, hugging his body and crying and begging: "He has stopped doing this business because he is lame - it has been many years! You just show your superiority,
Bypass him as a loser."
"It's okay, I won't let him die." said the leader, Lan Collar Zhang, "As long as he answers honestly, he will be back in a few days. If he is not honest -" he paused deliberately, "it will be difficult to say
Already."
It took two days for Chen Lianjian to be released from the office. He could not straighten his waist, his eyes were unfocused, and his beard was unkempt.
"Your explanation is very good. We hope you won't have any worries or hide anything..."
"I don't dare, I don't dare," Chen Lianjian nodded and bowed, almost crying, "I, I said everything, I didn't dare to hide anything."
"Work hard when you get back! Don't mention the things here, do you understand?"
Chen Lianjian was lame and walked hard, but he walked with all his strength, as far away from this ghost place as possible.
In the past two days, he told everything he knew. Where do bandits usually operate, what are the names of bandits with big names, slang...
He felt as if he was in a roller in an oil mill, being slowly sucked out bit by bit until he finally turned into a piece of dry skin.
As long as the characters were close to the bandits, they all enjoyed such treatment one by one. This kind of "talk" was not limited to the bandits, but also included ordinary people and the local wealthy gentry.
The development of strategic villages is also in progress. A remote exploration team and professional members of urban construction planning from Lingao Construction Corporation have come from Lingao. They will assist the Danzhou authorities in correctly laying out the strategic villages to ensure the future.
Every strategic village can develop prosperously.
"Father Trigg is in the audience hall," Umbrella reported in a low voice.
"Invite him in." Gelanzani sat on his seat, looking at the large glass newly installed on the window - this is an Australian glass plate, which can be made large and thin, much lighter in weight, and does not need to be used
Densely packed lead bars can be inlaid on the windows.
The large glass windows made the light in the room so bright that Gelanzani, who had worked and lived in the dark house for most of his life, was uncomfortable with it at first.
The trade with Lingao made Macao more and more prosperous, and a large amount of goods were shipped from here to Europe and West Asia. Lingao's large-format glass even began to be sold back to Europe - even with the freight and losses of long distances, this kind of
Glass is also cheaper than the bulky, heavy, small pieces of glass in Europe.
At the same time, there are also a large number of iron-tipped dip pens - which write more smoothly than quill pens and do not require careful sharpening of the pen tip - and if it becomes difficult to use, just replace it with another one. And the Australians also say that the used pen tip can be folded in half
Price recovery.
Not to mention Princess Tang’s beautifully packaged rhubarb wine. The Jesuits made countless money on it. The beautiful porcelain wine bottle alone became the target of many locals. And every 3
Months later, the porcelain texture and shape of Princess Tang's wine bottles will change, which has caused many people to follow suit and set off a craze for wine.
However, what worries the president the most is that the Australians are actually selling Latin versions of the Bible and Catechism to churches.
The religious books they sell are not only low-priced, but also beautifully printed, and come in many different versions. There are large-print books, pocket-sized books, and so-called "drawing books" with many illustrations.
Gelanzani personally reviewed each version and found that these versions were not only doctrinally identical to the Vatican's official version, but also superior in proofreading. They were even more perfect than the Vatican's version.
"This is really unbelievable." Gelanzani was shocked. A lost church actually had the same words in the scriptures as the Holy See's official version - this is too weird.
But the weirdness is weird. The religious books printed by Lingao are far lower in price than those printed by the Germans. Soon, Jesuit merchant ships were trafficking books to Europe - if Lingao had not indicated that the current production capacity was limited,
This kind of business is even bigger.
Lingao is really a strange place. Gelanzani's interest in this place and Australians is growing day by day.
"My child, are you ready to go to Hainan Island?" the president asked after the priest kissed his ring.
"Yes, Mr. President." The visitor said humbly.
Father Trige's decision to go to Lingao had been decided a few months ago - he and two other monks were going to supplement the two monks who had been summoned by the Lord in Li District in the past few months. However, the Ming army attacked Lingao.
The crusade delayed this matter."
They originally planned to carry a ship from Huang Shunlong Trading Company. But Huang Shunlong had already received news: the Ming Dynasty had taken action against the Australians in Lingao, and the army crossed the sea to Qiongzhou. At the same time, the Ming Dynasty's warships entered the Qiongzhou Strait.
"No ship can pass through now. If we insist on passing through, I'm afraid we will lose both the ship and cargo." Huang Shunlong said that it is best to wait until the situation is calm before going.
The church first learned about the Ming Dynasty's use of force against the Australians in Lingao from Lu Ruohua's letter. This news once made the Jesuits very nervous - the missionary career in Lingao had just made a good start, and they did not want this matter to end.
Died in infancy. For this reason, Geranzani immediately wrote to the religious order of ***, asking them to see if they could start some activities in this regard.
However, Lu Ruohua was very optimistic about the Australians. In his letter, he believed that the Ming army would be defeated because the Australians had organized "the most powerful and best-trained army in the Far East."
Summer arrived during the tense wait, and news of the defeat of the Ming Dynasty army also reached Macau. The blockade of the Qiongzhou Strait has been lifted - the western waters of Guangdong have become the domain of the Australians.
Gelanzani returned to his desk: "I know: you originally wanted to take over your uncle's missionary work in Hangzhou. However, the future of missionary work in China is not there. It is in Lingao."
Father Trigo heard the word again and lowered his head.
When he was sent from Flanders to the Far East two years ago, he thought that the Jesuits would ask him to replace his great distant relative who had been favored by the Pope but had recently been honored with the Lord in Hangzhou, China.
Father Ginnigo, who was called to rest in the arms of the Lord. He himself had a strong interest in Marco Polo's "Celestial City" and wanted to see this legendary city with his own eyes.
However, after he arrived in Manila, Lingao spread among the church like a spell. This little-known little place became the biggest excitement point of the Catholic Church in the Far East, far exceeding the original efforts to persuade daimyo to be baptized and
Establish a church in ***. Many priests hope to sow the seeds of faith for God in this land.
Everything about the Australians in Lingao has become an extremely hot topic among local churches and gentry. The gentry covet the wealth of the Australians, and the church regards the appearance of the Australians in Hainan Island as guidance from God.
The copies of "Correspondence of Father Lu Ruohua" that came from Macau became a sought-after item for priests and gentlemen, and everyone tried to borrow them. In comparison, the achievements Matteo Ricci and his successors had achieved after decades of struggle in China seemed
have become insignificant.
Many priests hope to go to Lingao, but the Jesuits have firmly maintained their missionary privileges in Lingao and Hainan Island - and this privilege has been approved by the Pope.
Going to Lingao means a very high mortality rate. In the past three years, two priests have unfortunately contracted the plague and been called by the Lord while going to the "savage area" of Lingao to preach. However, Father Lu Ruohua has always been in good health.
He contracted the plague several times and miraculously recovered.
After knowing that he was about to be sent to Lingao, Father Trigg had already looked through "Matteo Ricci's Notes on China" and all the manuscripts about China that he could find, except for several copies of missionaries in 1560, 1563 and 1584.
In addition to the report of entering Hainan Island, I learned that one of Matteo Ricci's biggest supporters in the Chinese court was that Chinese Minister Wang Hongjie was a resident of this island. His family is still in a city called Ding'an on the island.
There, his son Paul maintained a small church there. From time to time he would come to Macau to ask for advice on church affairs.
The Jesuits were originally very interested in the small missionary site in Ding'an, but the appearance of the Australians turned their attention to the missionary work in Hainan completely to Lingao.
President Gelanzani introduced some situations about Hainan Island and Lingao. Lingao is currently controlled by a group of Chinese who claim to be from "Australia", and it is they who invite Jesuit priests to spread the gospel of the Lord.
"Australians" are different from ordinary Chinese. They are smart and sensitive, and treat others as courteously and courteously as the most elegant gentlemen in Europe. This conversation made Father Jin Lige full of confidence in his career.
"The church in Lingao is already very large." Gelanzani touched his forehead tiredly, "But they are completely under the control of the Australians."
"I understand what you mean."
"No, you don't understand--" A smile appeared on the president's lips as he looked at the priest.
"--Your task is to enlarge the flock of God, not to create disputes among the flock."
"Yes, Mr. President."
"You need to observe more Australians, they are another kind of Chinese people with a difference." A strange smile appeared on Gelanzani's face, "Observe them carefully and always remember to show respect to those who have no faith."
Preach the gospel of God – but do not offend them.”
