Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

Later, there was an earthquake in the palace, and Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang pardoned Tang Ruowang in horror, but the rest of the Han officials in the history, mainly more than ten people who had followed Tang Ruowang since the reign of Chongzhen, were all executed.

After this incident, the seeds of civilization planted by the Jesus Society in the early stage of its operation in China were completely strangled in the cradle.

Even Kangxi later studied astronomy, calendar, arithmetic and geometry, but he did not have the mind and tolerance to allow Western missionaries to take up positions and teach apprentices in Beijing on a large scale. In Kangxi, these studies were just a kind of rule. means, rather than his admiration for science and culture and education. This barbarian chief studied tirelessly, but refused to do any form of promotion, and he spared no effort to attack others after learning astronomy and arithmetic. The so-called sage's knowledge is actually still Not as good as a carpenter emperor!

……

Hearing Zhang Shouren's words, Tang Ruowang was also very happy. After pursing his lips and smiling, he spread his hands to Zhang Shouren and said, "General, after all, I really have no way to go to Dengzhou or Laizhou. My students are also there." I’m afraid there’s nothing I can do to speed up the compilation of the new calendar. But I can help the general get in touch with the Jesus Society, and they will hire some senior technicians for casting cannons and guns from Macao for the general.”[

"Very well, thank you, thank you!"

Zhang Shouren cupped his hands again and again to show his thanks.

He had already asked the Zheng family to find a technician, but the Zheng family sent a few third-rate students who didn't know who they were. They also know some guns, but their skills are not as good as those of the generals. If you want to make any improvements, you can't count on these people.

If the Jesus Society can really send some good players, in this era, the Europeans have just started to exert their strength, and they will not be far behind China. Everyone learns from each other's strengths and complements each other's weaknesses. Combining Chinese and Western, it is better than a group of generals who are always groping on their own. many.

After handing over his hands and thanking them, they chatted for a while. Zhang Shouren saw a man in his fifties with gray hair and deep wrinkles on his face. Before he came in, this man was just sitting and watching Tang Ruowang and others doing things He didn't pay attention to what he said after he came in. He was sitting upright now, with his back straight, and the sitting posture alone was extraordinary.

Seeing him looking at him, the man rolled his eyes and ignored him, but picked up a small wine gourd and took a sip of it on his own.

"Don't blame the general. This is an old neighbor from the neighborhood. He came to sit and sit around. I don't think I know the general."

"It doesn't matter, I'm not a tiger in the mountains, I have to call Beast Piyi wherever I go."

Zhang Shouren joked, and said to Tang Ruowang seriously: "Master Tang really doesn't want to go south? Although there are errands in the capital, they can be done in Fushan. No matter what you need, or who you lack, I can help."

"General," Tang Ruowang said with a wry smile, "I have been casting artillery for two years, and after the mission is over, I don't want to touch this business anymore. If I can choose, I'd rather do some academic research work here. "

"Okay, then, I won't force it anymore."

Tang Ruowang was really afraid that he would use some official accent to force himself. In the past, Xu Guangqi took care of him and the institutions here. After the Dengzhou Incident, Xu Guangqi's prestige was greatly damaged, and his body fell down all of a sudden. World.
