“?????”

"Sorry, this, I..."

Tang Ruowang was completely confused. He seemed to have discovered a new continent and looked at Xu Changqing incredibly.

How many years have passed, how many years have passed.

He has been living in the environment of the Ming Dynasty, and he has long become the Huaguotong. Although he is white-skinned, he is actually no different from the Ming Dynasty. How could he hear such familiar language again?

Although John Choi was a German and attended a university in Paris, the foreign languages ​​were a compulsory course for missionaries at this time. John Choi not only understood German, French, English, and Portuguese, but also proficient in Chinese.

It's this that Xu Changqing took down Joshua Tsang, and that would be a big profit.

Not to mention, he is also very proficient in the basic principles of gunpowder and artillery!

"Sorry, sir, I didn't hear it clearly just now. Can you say it again?"

After a while, Tang Ruowang came to his senses and said to Xu Changqing in English.

"hehe."

Xu Changqing smiled: "Of course, dear Mr. Tang, as a believer of God, it is a great honor to see you here. By the way, Cologne is such a beautiful city. If possible, I must go and have a good look."

"Oh God."

Joshua Chan was almost bursting, holding his head with both hands, unable to express his mood for the moment.

Even though he was almost fifty years old at this time, he was as happy as a child.

"God, God bless you, General Xu, it is a great honor to see you! I really didn't expect that I could see God's believers again in this great land."

As he said that, Tang Ruowang wanted to give Xu Changqing a hug.

Xu Changqing naturally would not refuse and hugged Johnson Chan enthusiastically, "Praise God, Father, you have accomplished a miracle."

This is not Xu Changqing deliberately complimented Joshua Tsang, because Joshua Tsang himself is indeed a legend.

When I came to the Ming Dynasty in my twenties, I lived in the Ming Dynasty for nearly half a century. After my death, I did not return to my hometown and was buried in the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, many colonial pioneers were indeed missionaries, but they could not kill everyone with one stick. There were indeed many unforgivable people among the missionaries, but more were firm believers like Johnson Chau, who were almost as strong as Puritans.

It was already 1641, the prisoners, beggars and thieves on the "May Flower" were already in their early 20 years in the New World.

A new era has slowly and heavily opened up!

After a while, Joshua Chan calmed down and smiled enthusiastically at Xu Changqing, "God, General, praise God, when did you believe in Catholicism?"

Believe in the silly Catholic Church!

Xu Changqing was amused in his heart.

Born under the red flag and growing up in the new era, Xu Changqing has always been an atheist, and believes in "man controls nature", so how could he do these messy things?

But at this time, facing Joshua Tsang, Xu Changqing seemed to be a staunch Catholic.

"Father, this matter is a long story. When I was young, I was seriously ill. Fortunately, a British priest passed by and saved me..."

Xu Changqing started making up the story. Anyway, if you turn around and tell your mother, you can just get over it.

Of course, Xu Changqing must be very sincere in this story.

And at this moment, in Joshua Chan's ears, this is no less than the sound of nature.

"O God, God, this is really the best news I have heard over the years."

Joshua Chan was really about to cry, and tears rolled in the old eyes, which could not express his mood at this moment.

After a while, Joshua Chan was relieved and said with a smile: "General Xu, you are such a warrior. Congratulations to you for winning a great victory in the war against the barbarians. I think the noble emperor of the Ming Dynasty will definitely give you a lot of rewards."

"certainly."

Xu Changqing smiled: "As a professional soldier, the battlefield is always our best stage. Father, I have only heard of your "Travel Mirror Talk"

It’s my regret that I have never had the chance to get the original works and have never read them."

Johnson Chan laughed: "General Xu, I have written a lot of books in the Ming Dynasty, but it soon fell into the sea."

Although this old priest was laughing, he was indescribable bitterness.

How could Xu Changqing not understand what Tang Ruowang meant, and shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Father, that's really a pity. Maybe you just didn't meet the right person. I think we might be able to cooperate better."

"oh?"

Johnson Chan was already a little excited: "General Xu, I don't know, how do you want to cooperate?"

Xu Changqing had a treacherous case and smiled: "Father, you know, I will be granted a true title by our emperor and become a nobleman. I will soon own a lot of land. I hope, Father, you can use your knowledge to help me cast some muskets and cannons, including Qianli Miles. In return, I will give you an annual salary of 1,000 taels of silver and allow you to preach in my territory. Of course, if you need it, I can also contribute to help you build a church."

"Oh God."

Although Joshua Chan had long expected that Xu Changqing would be very open-minded, he did not expect that Xu Changqing would be so generous and hurriedly said: "Of course, dear general, it is my honor to be able to cooperate with you."

After reaching this big framework, the relationship between the two quickly became more intense, and they almost met too late.

In fact, many missionaries are not only not poor, but are rich because they have the support of the Holy See.

All new believers who expand religions start with small favors, so they naturally cannot preach without money.

However, this is an exception in the Ming Dynasty.

Although the Western colonists at this time had already gained a foothold in Southeast Asia, with several strongholds such as Macau and Yingzhou Island, their focus was more in Southeast Asia, especially the French and Germans had almost zero power here. Coupled with the domineering "One Official Brother", this made it impossible for Johnson Chan to be able to replenish the subsequent power.

Not to mention, China itself has a history of almost five thousand years. How profound are various religions and beliefs?

When Johnson Chan wants to break into the corner, it is naturally difficult to take steps.

Compared to silver, Joshua Chan undoubtedly cared more about whether he could truly preach.

In the 21st century, although faith is no longer valuable, it is something more important than life at this time.

Since Xu Changqing can provide him with this platform, how can Johnson Chan not be excited?

...

Having reached an agreement with Johnson Chan, Xu Changqing was in a very comfortable mood.

Johnson Chan is just the first step.

In the future, Xu Changqing will use Johnson Chan as the fulcrum to connect with Westerners more closely and obtain the world's most advanced technology, especially the system.

Before, Xu Changqing said that he wanted to go to Cologne, the hometown of Joshua Chan, to play, which was not just a joke. He would definitely go there, but if he traveled with him, there would definitely be giant ships and cannons from the Chinese.

In the evening, Xu Changqing was about to accompany Tang Ruowang to have dinner to learn about his newly written book "The Secret of Fire Attack". At this time, news suddenly came from the palace that Emperor Chongzhen invited Xu Changqing to meet again.

This made Xu Changqing a little confused.

When the emperor summoned him, he must have gone there. He agreed with Joshua Chan to chat tomorrow. Xu Changqing sent someone to greet Cao Bianjiao and quickly went to the palace.

More than an hour later, Xu Changqing met Emperor Chongzhen again in the familiar East Warm Pavilion of the Yangxin Palace.

This time, Emperor Chongzhen's attitude was much softer than yesterday, and he smiled and said with a smile: "General Xu, how do you feel today? You see, have you seen these, these, and these, all of them are your memorandum."

Looking at the memorials piled up like hills, Xu Changqing felt a little funny, but he would definitely not be arrogant on his face. He hurriedly said with fear and fear: "Your Majesty, Hu Zi, Hu Zi, I really didn't expect it to have such a big impact. Now, only you, the emperor, can save Hu Zi."

Emperor Chongzhen really wanted to take Xu Changqing again, but he couldn't help it at this time and laughed: "Do you know yourself?"

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

.”

As he said that, he shook his sleeves and sat on the dragon throne with a smile: "Today, you have handled the matter between Funing Hou and the others well."

Xu Changqing had already grasped the context of Emperor Chongzhen and pretended to smile bitterly: "Emperor, I am forced to do nothing."

Emperor Chongzhen laughed. Maybe he hasn't laughed much in the past ten years. "Okay, I won't scare you anymore. Tomorrow, Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui will come to Beijing. I'm going to prepare for rewards the day after tomorrow. What do you think?"

"hey-hey."

Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen was in such a good mood, Xu Changqing also beat the snake and put on a stick: "Emperor, Beizi is your soldier. You will receive any reward you give to Beizi. However, if you can give a reward to Beizi, it will be the best."

After hearing Xu Changqing change his name and make a pleasing request, Emperor Chongzhen was stunned and couldn't help laughing even happier: "Little Xuzi, you are really a clever person. You have spoken to me, how can I not agree? Okay, get out, I will get up early tomorrow, and there is still morning court."

"Thank you for your kindness and reward!"

...

After leaving the palace, Xu Changqing really relaxed, but his heart felt a little chilled, and his clothes were already wet.

It is no wonder that the ancients said, "Accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger."

It's really a bit troublesome to meet a leader with the temperament of Emperor Chongzhen.

However, after facing the Saint twice, Xu Changqing also felt more clearly about Emperor Chongzhen's character, and his previous strategy was completely correct.

However, Xu Changqing must not be able to relax tonight. Why did he go to the Wu family today and have a "big wife" to comfort her.

...

At noon the next day, Xu Changqing finished the work of Tang Ruowang. Lao Cao, who had been in a state of silence for several days, finally caught Xu Changqing.

However, I didn't have much chance to talk to Xu Changqing.

Because Hong Chengchou and Wu Sangui are coming, everyone will come to greet you together.
