The two argued endlessly, each holding his own opinion.
Ding Yunyi suddenly said loudly: "Why do you two have to argue? In fact, Catholicism has Catholic teachings, and Buddhism has Buddhist teachings. They have differences, but they also have things in common."
Sarozzi and the stranger looked at Ding Yunyi together. Ding Yunyi smiled and said:
"The first exchange between Buddhism and Christianity was during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. When the Christian missionary Matteo Ricci came to China, he first wanted to wear monks' clothes. However, he later found that the officials in the court did not pay attention to Buddhism, so he changed to
Confucianism was the object of conversation. From then on, Catholicism and Chinese culture rarely involved Buddhism, which made the two parties less familiar with each other, and even misunderstood and criticized each other. Fortunately, some glimmers of light shone in this dark period. In **, Catholic priests
I have long studied Tibetan Buddhism with admiration, but due to various reasons I was unable to stay in Japan..."
Ding Yunyi talked eloquently: "So it is not difficult for Catholicism and Buddhism to coexist. The road is high and each side goes to one side. Why bother to stick to their respective beliefs?"
The stranger also smiled slightly: "Who is this before I ask?"
"I'm Ding Yunyi."
"Ding Yunyi?" The stranger's eyebrows twitched: "Ding Yunyi, Ding Xiangwen, who was newly promoted to the post of general manager of Penghu?"
Ding Yunyi was surprised that this man could even say his own words: "What is your name?"
"In front of all the jades below. All the disciples and hundreds of schools of thought, jades of jade, front and back." The man said with a smile.
Zhu Yuqian? Although he had never heard of this name before, Ding Yunyi didn’t know why but he felt that this name seemed somewhat impressive.
"Excuse me, Mr. Zhu, why do you want to come to Penghu?"
"I am a businessman who occasionally passes through Penghu, so I went to the island to visit."
This man spoke steadily and elegantly, neither humble nor arrogant, and had a calm attitude. Considering his origins, he was quite extraordinary. Ding Yunyi became curious: "Everyone here is a guest. Since you gentlemen are here in Penghu, why don't you have a few drinks with me?"
Zhu Yuqian did not agree immediately. He glanced at the two followers beside him, and then a flashing detail fell into Ding Yunyi's eyes:
The attendant on the left actually nodded quietly!
What does this mean? Does the master need permission from his attendants if he wants to drink?
Ding Yunyi became suspicious.
Zhu Yuqian's face showed relief: "Mr. Ding is so attentive. There is no reason why Mr. Zhu should not agree. I am going to bother Mr. Ding today."
"What are you talking about?" Ding Yunyi suppressed his doubts and said, "Gentlemen, please."
When they arrived at their military camp, Hong Tiaoyuan went to inspect the island. Ding Yunyi asked Lao Ji to get a fish and invited Zhu Yuqian into the camp. However, his two followers did not follow him. They just stood at the door of the camp and burned
Lao Ji, who had been sent in by Good Fish, invited them in, but they just pretended not to hear.
"Penghu is a bitter and cold place, sir, please don't be suspicious." Ding Yunyi poured wine in front of Zhu Yuqian.
"Why should Mr. Ding be so polite? In my opinion, this fish is enough." Zhu Yuqian smiled calmly: "As long as the wine manager has enough."
"Enough wine!" Ding Yunyi raised the bowl: "Gentlemen, please."
"Invite Mr. Ding!"
The two took a sip of wine, and Ding Yunyi put down the bowl: "Sir, please forgive me, but I don't think you are a businessman."
"Then who do you think I look like?" Zhu Yuqian looked unmoved.
Ding Yunyi pondered for a moment: "I think sir is an official."
"An official?" Zhu Yuqian laughed: "How can I be such an official? With only two followers? Mr. Ding has promoted me."
Seeing that the other party was deliberately hiding something, Ding Yunyi smiled lightly and said nothing more.
Zhu Yuqian said: "Before I landed in Penghu, I heard that there was a young hero here. He was the son of Master Ding Yuanzhao Ding, the military officer of Zanli in Fujian. As soon as he landed on the island, he first defeated Changlu Gongbaotian, and then
Sha Gui Wang Wan. The morale of the soldiers and civilians in Penghu is high. I didn’t expect to see Mr. Ding so soon. I’m so lucky, so lucky! It turns out that the father of a tiger has no son!”
Ding Yunyi was polite for a few times, and then heard Zhu Yuqian sigh: "If our Ming Dynasty had a few more heroes like General Ding, why should we be afraid of bandits? Why should we be afraid of red barbarians? What a pity, what a pity."
He said "what a pity" several times, as if he was worried about the future of Ming Dynasty.
This person must not be an ordinary person. Ding Yunyi further strengthened his idea and said against his will: "The gentlemen are too flattering. I have many talents in the Ming Dynasty, so why worry about the rogue bandit Hongyi?"
Zhu Yuqian sighed: "Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty by Emperor Taizu, through the twelve generations, there has been no marriage between the Han and Tang Dynasties, and there has been no yearly coin between the two Song Dynasties. The rule of the Long Tang and Song Dynasties is far superior to that of the Han and Tang Dynasties. After Hongwu, Jianwen, and Yongle
The three dynasties worked hard to govern. In the nearly hundred years until Xuanzong, the Ming Dynasty marched north to the Mongolian Plateau, conquered Annan in the south, and conquered Ceylon. It shocked the Malay island tribes and brought great rule to the world. The rule of Hongwu, the prosperous age of Yongle, and the rule of Renxuan were one after another.
The scene of the prosperous age. Yingzong came to the throne at a young age, and there were "three Yangs" Yang Pu, Yang Shiqi, and Yang Rong in the court to preside over the political situation. The country was peaceful and peaceful, and all nations came to the court. Later, the eunuch Wang Zhen began to take power, and the Tumu Fort Incident that shocked the world occurred. Jingtai
The emperor resolutely appointed Yu Qian to defeat Oala and win the battle to defend the capital. Later, the Jingtai and Tianshun dynasties were restored, and the national power rebounded greatly. In the Xiaozong period, there was great rule again. At this time, the politics was clear, the people's livelihood was healthy, and Hami was restored to the outside world.
Wei, known as Hongzhi Zhongxing..."
He suddenly talked about the situation during the heyday of the Ming Dynasty. Ding Yunyi listened very carefully. He knew that this was the most glorious period in the history of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yuqian's face gradually dimmed as he spoke: "Unfortunately, during the Zhengde period, Japanese pirates invaded our Ming Dynasty, Tatars often invaded the border, and the national power once again declined. In the Wanli Dynasty, under the auxiliary administration of Zhang Juzheng, the chief minister of the cabinet, reforms were carried out, and the country once again
Zhongxing. At this time, the country was peaceful and peaceful. Gansu and Guizhou rebellions were put down, and Goryeo was rescued and the invading Japanese pirates were rescued. The country's Zhongxing could be expected. However, in the middle of the Wanli Dynasty, the emperor neglected his administration and officials became corrupt, which led to the Jiangnan Civil Rebellion.
The Jurchen emperor Hachi who founded the state outside the Pass raised an army, which became another problem. During the Tianqi period, the dictatorship of the Zhongxian eunuch group in Wei Dynasty finally led to the decline of the Ming Dynasty... As for this dynasty, there were successive years of famine, and the court could not come up with anything.
Silver is powerless to calm down. The world is in chaos, and the world is about to be in chaos!"
Ding Yunyi was shocked when he heard this. How dare this person criticize the imperial court like this? This is a crime of beheading.
Zhu Yuqian seemed to have read Ding Yunyi's thoughts and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Ding, you are my confidant. I am not afraid of you complaining. Besides, I don't think you will complain."
Ding Yunyi composed himself: "Gentlemen, if you have anything to say, feel free to say it here. Ding Yunyi is not that despicable person!"
