The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 168 Education can't be joked
Zhu Hongyu narrowed his eyes and said.

"Father Luo, why did you come to visit this general? Do you have anything to say to the general from Macau?"

If there were great Confucianism and old scholars in front of him, maybe Zhu Hongyu would be patient and play a show of being a gentleman, minister and virtuous, so as to win people's hearts.

Regardless of whether Confucianism is helpful to governing the country, whether Confucianism represents the development direction of advanced productive forces.

Just because Confucianism is the prominent school in China, it is worth Zhu Hongyu's efforts to win over.

The great man once said that the most important thing for a revolution is to distinguish who is the enemy and who is the friend!
It is a very necessary thing to make enemies less and make friends more high!

In Zhu Hongyu's view, Confucian students are worth attracting.

Because, in China in this era, Confucian students represent the entire ruling class.

Besides, compared with the goddamn Catholic religious thought in the West in this era, Confucianism, which had not been castrated by the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the late Ming Dynasty, was still quite advanced.

But, Zhu Hongyu didn't have the patience to talk nonsense to a Catholic priest, so he asked directly.

Although he seems to have some impression of the name Luo Wenzao!
However, his aversion to Catholicism made Zhu Hongyu completely unwilling to sort out his memory.

Luo Wenzao said.

"Reporting to the Governor, I would like to represent the Holy See of Rome to explain the doctrine of Catholicism to the Governor."

"Please do not elevate the behavior of some scum to the entire Catholic Church!"

"The teachings of Catholicism are civilized, kind, and peace-loving. They are by no means a cult with extreme teachings."

Zhu Hongyu said with a sneer.

"is it?"

"Then the Catholic Church's teaching that pagans are not human beings and that killing pagans can go to heaven is also civilized, kind, and peace-loving?"

"During the Wanli and Chongzhen years, the Hongmaoyi massacred the Ming people living in Manila twice. Which time did the church not act as a pusher and accomplice?"

"All the religions in the world persuade people to be good, and the teachings of such a religion are so bad, the governor has never heard of it!"

With a cold snort, Zhu Hongyu threw the stack of documents in his hand at Luo Wenzao, and then said in a cold voice.

"Take a good look, this is what your so-called civilized, kind, and peace-loving religion has done all over the world!"

This stack of documents is the confession obtained by the Jinyiwei of the Restoration Army during the interrogation of the priests and bishops in the Manila church.

It records in detail the similar massacres, genocide, black slave trade, burning, killing and looting committed by the Spaniards, Portuguese, British, Dutch, French... and other European countries under the banner of God...

After the great voyage began, they did similar things all over the world...

And in more detail, the confession about what the church is doing in Manila.

Including a series of things such as abduction, imprisonment and abuse of children, body dissection, and massacres to force Chinese to believe in Catholicism.

Zhu Hongyu said coldly.

"These things are the confessions of the priests and bishops of the Manila Church!"

"Hehe, if you don't believe me, I can ask someone to take you to the ruins of the demolished church!"

"Look at the piles of dead bones, look at the bloody scene, look at those poor children who have been abused!"

"Father Luo, what else can you say?"

"Why, do you still insist that Catholicism is civilized, kind, and peaceful?"

Zhu Hongyu's voice was very cold, but the tone was not reprimand or disgust, but hatred for iron.

Because he suddenly remembered Luo Wenzao!

The first Chinese bishop of the Catholic Chinese Diocese in history, proficient in multiple languages, good at astronomy, navigation, mathematics, geometry and other subjects.

History books only have four words for this person, knowledgeable in both Chinese and Western!

To put it simply, well, this is a talent, a talent worth recruiting!
After the Restoration Army occupied Manila, they seized a large number of books from the Spanish St. Thomas Seminary.

They are all works of this era in the West, including geometry, astronomy, geography, navigation, mathematics, science, etc...

Basically, the essence of science and technology since the European Renaissance is contained in this batch of books.

More books on theology, of course!

However, as long as it was related to God, it was collected by Zhu Hongyu, and then burned.

In the exchange of east and west, it is necessary to extract the essence and discard the dross!

In Zhu Hongyu's view, the knowledge of religious theology is the dross.

Then, here comes the problem!
These books are all written in Latin or Spanish, and Zhu Hongyu wants to make use of these books.

First things first is the translation!

On Zhu Hongyu's side, there really isn't such a talent.

But, Zhu Hongyu now feels that this time traveler, he really deserves to be the son of God's father.

When you dozed off, someone brought you a pillow!
He was short of translators, and Luo Wenzao, who was well versed in both Chinese and Western cultures, came.

Of course, if Luo Wenzao can't clearly realize the darkness and evil of the Catholic Church, quit the church willingly, and then return to the embrace of good and righteous Confucianism.

Zhu Hongyu would rather send Luo Wenzao to labor reform than use him!
At worst, he can find someone to translate slowly!
These books are translated to be used as teaching materials!

In case Luo Wenzao still has illusions about the Catholic Church, bring him some private goods when translating books.

Then these private goods were also learned by the next generation of the Liberation Army, isn't that the end of the calf?

Educational issues are not to be joked about!

Poisonous textbooks are a no-brainer!

Luo Wenzao stood there blankly, looking at the shocking file in his hand, his whole body fell into a daze.

His body trembled slightly, and his face turned blue and white.

He never imagined that the holy and kind Catholic Church in his eyes would do such evil things!

Although he had heard of the Spaniard Tu Hua several times, he always thought that this was just the personal behavior of the Governor of Manila.

Just an accident!

In incidents like Tu Hua, the Catholic Church is innocent.

However, when he saw these files given by Zhu Hongyu, he felt cheated and betrayed.

Damn it!Damn it!Damn it!

It turns out that the kindness and civilization of the church are all pretended. In their bones, they are so dark, ugly, and so insane!

Those are children, how dare they, how dare they!

As for whether Zhu Hongyu was lying to him, Luo Wenzao thought it was impossible.

One reason is that Zhu Hongyu dared to say that he could go to the scene to check and participate in the interrogation.

In addition, during the process of demolishing the church, the Guangfu army rescued so many children. If the story is false, it will not stand up to scrutiny.

The second is that Luo Wenzao is very clear about his position!

What are you?
Is it worth it that Zhu Hongyu, the governor who is in charge of the life and death of thousands of people, has devoted all his energy to preparing such a thick document to deceive himself?

Are you worth it?
……

Still four changes, all kinds of support!
