Xinshun 1730

Chapter 874
Under the background of the unprecedented changes in 2000, the reform of changing the destiny against the heavens is extremely difficult, and often a small accident will trigger a major change.

Before the garrison of the Songjiang Mansion camp was transferred, Liu Yu got the news first.

The emperor directly sent someone to Songjiang Mansion, asking Liu Yu to go to Yangzhou to face the saint.

When the news came, Liu Yu was inviting some wealthy merchants to dinner, discussing the matter of going to Nanyang for inspection in a few days.

Thinking about the war in Europe, the trade between China and the Netherlands, and the development of Southeast Asia, I am really proud and full of ambition.

The expression of his speech was as floating as when Liu Bei said when he lived in Liu Biao, "If there is a foundation, the world's mediocre people will not worry about it".

While floating, after the emperor's servant handed over the secret order to Liu Yu, all the little wine that Liu Yu drank in fright turned into sweat and flew out of his pores.

He didn't eat any food, and hurriedly asked someone to clean up, and ran to Yangzhou in the starry night without stopping.

His Western "enlightenment" teacher, although nominally the vice president of the Jesuits in China, has already drawn a clear line.

Moreover, although he was not the initiator of the Prohibition Movement, he was the one who prepared the emperor to have enough confidence to carry out a complete ban on religion.

Because of his Western learning methods and plans to introduce talents, the emperor did not have to worry about hindering the spread of some technological progress.

For the emperor, the technological progress of the Jesuits was just acceptable, because their methods of astronomy, calendar and mathematics were not so radical but happened to be useful for ruling.

Regarding the ban on religion, Liu Yu supported the emperor.

But the incident in Fujian happened after the ban on religion.

And it's a testament to the horrible organizational capabilities of religion.

Originally, after Dashun felled the Japanese, the communication with the shogunate deepened, and both sides banned religion, so naturally they talked about the Shimabara Rebellion.

The shogunate didn't know whether they were afraid that the Catholics could really be resurrected, or they wanted to prove that they couldn't be resurrected, so they chopped up all of them and built them in the wall.

And there are a lot of "martyrdom" people in Japan, and Dashun is glad that he has banned religion after hearing the mention from Japan.

The Celestial Dynasty has always controlled religion, and both Buddha and Taoism have been killed and destroyed.Always vigilant.

But who would have thought that after the ban on religion, the secret spread would still have such a great influence.

There was even the appalling incident in Fujian—the fanaticism shown by these women completely shocked the emperor.

It's not that I'm afraid of these women, even if they are as good at fighting as Joan of Arc, so what?The key is to be afraid of the strength and organizational ability and the bonus of faith.

Liu Yu was not afraid of anything else, but was afraid that this incident would become so serious that the emperor would completely sever ties with the West.

Especially under the background that the opportunity to start Sino-Dutch trade is very easy to come, if this is affected by this matter, it is determined to completely sever the relationship between China and the West.

As long as you contact, as long as you don't retreat completely, this kind of thing can't be prevented.

For the emperor, stability comes first.

From the perspective of the emperor, the development of trade under the leadership of Liu Yu is not for the development of China at all, it is not the emperor's obligation.

From the emperor's point of view, it was to obtain money for better suppression and rule, and to prepare enough money for a more stable small-scale peasant economic reform in the future.

Money is for stability.

The foreign exchange Fujian Catholic icon incident has seriously undermined stability.

This is a balance problem.

One side is to strengthen stability.

One side is destabilizing.

I'm afraid that the emperor's inner balance will tilt to the other end, and it will be ruined.

Liu Yu also cursed secretly in her heart, saying that it would be fine even if it happened a few years later.

But things have happened, no amount of scolding is useless, now I can only think about how to solve this matter.

He rushed all the way to Tianning Temple in Yangzhou. After the notification, he was summoned and hurried to the emperor.

The emperor's face was dark, and when Liu Yu arrived, he asked directly: "You also know about the Fujian matter. Originally, I just wanted to deal with the trade issue in Macau. Now it seems that I'm afraid it can't be done like this." Easy!"

"I know that the Jesuits in Macau are in charge, and the man who is arrested is from the Dominican Society. However, they are all Catholics, so there is nothing wrong with that. Besides, didn't Bai Duoluo enter from Macau? of?"

"There are also some believers and virgins from Suzhou Mansion who have been implicated. Where did these people come from? If they went to Fujian, they went from Macau. Then where did these people from Suzhou Mansion come from? Many people He was expelled back then, why did he come to Suzhou Mansion again now?"

These words vaguely pointed to the problem of infiltrating preaching caused by Songjiang Mansion's trade, but Liu Yu was not to blame for the emperor's intention. After all, Liu Yu was not in charge of the customs before Songjiang Mansion.

Liu Yu was summoned urgently today because he was worried about being impulsive and wanted to ask Liu Yu for his opinion.

After the ministers of the DPRK and China know about this, they will definitely make a fuss, so there is no need to think about it.

Liu Yu is also a pillar of foreign exchanges, and he has offended many people.At this juncture, of course, many spearheads were pointed at Liu Yu and at the imperial court's policy of opening up to the outside world.

If you retreat completely, won't there be no such troubles?

The emperor was still not in a daze, and recruited Liu Yu.

But in the opening few sentences, the attitude is somewhat clear.Obviously, the emperor believed that the matter in Macau could not be settled so easily.

Liu Yu was also very nervous, seeing what the emperor said, he had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, I think this matter needs to be discussed in the long run."

"A long-term plan? In a long-term plan, I'm afraid there will be millions of believers in Fujian and Guangdong! This is still under the ban on religion. After interrogation, it can be seen that even though the ban on religion is so strict, there are still 350 virgins in the county where Bai Yunhang handled the teaching case back then. Yu! The chaos of Buddha and Dao, is it going to happen again in my Dashun?"

The emperor was quite dissatisfied with the four words of long-term consideration.

But after venting, he finally held back his temper and said: "Before I asked Dai Shilang to go to Rome to talk about the congregation. I was being polite, saying that the Catholic Church also persuades people to be good, and there is more reason than that. Confucianism is compatible. But firstly, etiquette does not conform to the Chinese system, and secondly, there is only one emperor in China, so how can there be another emperor?"

"At that time, there were Catholics in the DPRK and China who were concerned about the matter, and they also talked about this issue."

"I asked the Pope at that time, just two points."

"One, change the etiquette."

"Secondly, the congregation of each country is under the jurisdiction of each country. All congregations in Dashun must be like monks and priests, and the imperial court will issue orders and specialize in management. Do you want the Chinese people to listen to the Holy See?"

"The result? Rome categorically refused, saying that the jurisdiction of various countries does not listen to the Holy See, which is Protestant heresy, and this matter is absolutely unfeasible."

"Well, if you can't do it, you can't do it. You have your inaccuracies, and I also have my inaccuracies. Then I will also look at the merits of the calendar and mathematics, and give them a little bit of trouble and delineate Macau."

"What's the result? It's actually against my will, and I'm still preaching quietly, using Macau as a base to expand everywhere!"

"I just hate that the navy is not successful today. If not, I will order you to send troops to Rome to question the crime!"

Liu Yu supports the ban on religion, and has no objection to the expulsion of believers, and even thinks it is no problem to take back Macau.

But now, the timing is wrong.

And what he was worried about was that the emperor was worried about stability, directly closed the communication between the East and the West, and directly set up a strict one-stop trade policy in Malacca.

If this was the case, Dashun would not have participated in the European war.

Instead, regardless of whether it is indiscriminate or indiscriminate, and does not talk about cooperating vertically and horizontally, it directly encircles Nanyang.

Manila is going to fight, Timor is going to fight, and it is going to go to war with Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom before.

Anyway, after the fight is over, there is no shortage of money in Malacca as soon as the door is closed and opened for business.

Cruise east of Manila to capture missionaries from Mexico.

That's really the end of the calf.

Out of worry about this matter, Liu Yu took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, what I call a long-term plan means that this is not just a problem in Macau."

"If you want to completely stop Christianity, you must not only take back Macau, but also conquer Luzon, Timor and other places, and completely enclose Nanyang."

"A mere Macau is like a branch of a big tree. What's the use of going to a Macau if the root system is not removed?"

"If Japan would ban religion, there would never be a place like Macau, but the missionaries who smuggle in from Manila, Goa and other places every year, don't they come one after another?"

"So, if you want to govern, it's not just about Macau."

"That's why the minister said that it is necessary to think about it in the long run."

Only then did the emperor nod his head and said: "If you talk about it in such a long-term way, what Ai Qing said is very true, and it is exactly the truth."

However, Liu Yu changed the subject and said: "However, since it is necessary to make a long-term plan, it must not be impulsive. This matter, I think, can be lifted high and put down gently."

"My minister dares to guarantee that within 15 years, Europa will undergo major changes! In this war, the things to be resolved have not been resolved. The trade disputes and colonial issues between Britain, France, Spain, Portugal and the Netherlands; the 'orthodoxy' dispute in Prussia and Austria... …None of these issues have been resolved.”

"Today's truce is only to recharge your batteries for the future war. How can there be 15 years of peace in the war of the Warring States?"

"That's right, I think that, in the long run, we should bear it first."

"Once there are changes in Europe in the future, we will take the opportunity to take over the entire Southeast Asia, expand to India, and then take back Macau."

"It's really not in a hurry. If you can't bear it, you will make a big mess."

"Portugal is weak now, and it is no longer what it used to be. It is dependent on the British. Since it will fight the British in the future, why bother to scare the enemy now? It will be dealt with at that time."

"That's why, I think this incident can serve as a warning, and urge all localities to continue to investigate and deal with secret churches. However, trade and traffic should not be abandoned just because of choking."

"Recovering Macau is what should be done. But the time has not come. If the time comes, why do we need a large army? Only soldiers from Guangzhou will do."

"The society is expected to be stable. On the one hand, it is necessary to strictly investigate such religions."

"But on the other hand, people's livelihood should also be developed."

"If your Majesty governs the Huaihe River, if it succeeds, the people in the Huaihe region can live a prosperous life, and how many people are willing to rebel? Whether it is to govern the Huaihe River, or to immigrate and cultivate people in the future, there is no money."

"The world can be divided into internal and external. The inner king is the king of the outside. The insider is the king, but he needs to be the king of the layman in order to get money and food, reward the soldiers, and save the people..."
