Chapter 103

At this time, in the archery tower inside the city wall, Xu Guangqi, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, led by the eunuch who passed the decree, went up to the roof suspiciously.Sure enough, the young man standing by the window was the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.

"Why is Your Majesty here? This place is really dangerous, I beg Your Majesty to move away!" Xu Guangqi hurried forward to persuade him without paying attention to the ceremony.

You must know that this time is no better than the last time. This time, the entire army of Jianlu launched an attack, and the intensity is far from comparable to last time.

Hu Guang looked back at him, didn't take it seriously, just pointed to the outside and said: "Those Xiyi, are you begging them to come up and fire?"

When Xu Guangqi heard this, his attention was immediately diverted. He didn't need to look over, he naturally knew what was going on, and immediately replied: "The gunners of the Beijing camp don't understand artillery. See, for the sake of the capital's safety, this minister went to persuade them to work for my Daming!"

This made Li Fengxiang who was standing beside him turn pale again, but he couldn't refute it, because after the Jianlu invaded the capital, what happened to the capital camp had already been fact-tested.Fortunately, it wasn't long before he took over Jingying, so the former Emperor Chongzhen didn't punish him.

After hearing this, Hu Guang didn't say anything. He just watched those Westerners directing the gunners to operate, and said slowly, "What did you promise them?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Guangqi hesitated for a while, and finally replied truthfully: "I promise that they will speak to His Majesty to lift the ban on preaching."

At this time, the ban on religious teaching brought about by the Nanjing religious case has existed in name only, but it still exists after all, which makes these Westerners still fearful.

After hearing his words, Hu Guang looked away from outside the city, looked at Xu Guangqi, and asked with a serious face: "You have defended them many times, so you know what is the purpose of their coming to Daming?"

Xu Guangqi is not a fool, so he naturally knows: "Preach the Catholic doctrine!"

He had already seen that the emperor's attitude seemed a bit cold, so he hurriedly played again after finishing speaking: "Your Majesty, Xiyi is knowledgeable, and every word in the conversation is deafening. I think that if you want to make my Ming stronger, leave They can't!"

Perhaps it touched the pain point in Xu Guangqi's heart, he became a little emotional, pointed to the outside and continued to play: "Your Majesty, Jianlu is invincible in field battles, but the Beijing camp frontier army is rotten and useless. I think that we must follow Western methods to weave Train the new army, only in this way will we have the hope of defeating the Jian captives and recovering Liaodong."

"Let's not talk about the distance, as far as today's artillery is concerned, the Xiyi is already ahead of our Ming Dynasty. Their artillery skills are well-founded, and the actual combat effect is more effective. Your Majesty, learning from the barbarians' skills to control the barbarians is the most important thing. Seriously, don't give up eating because of choking!" Xu Guangqi bowed deeply at this point, speaking sincerely, wishing to show his heart to the emperor.

Hu Guang stared at him, and understood Xu Guangqi's intention to let Daming learn Western methods to subdue the barbarians like Jianlu.

He didn't speak immediately, but turned his head to look at the Western missionaries on the top of the city, and the Jianlu siege troops who were approaching outside the city.Then he turned around and ordered: "Beat the drums to cheer!"

The sound of "dong dong dong" war drums rang out immediately, and spread far away, resounding in the sky above the capital amidst the shouts of killing.The soldiers of the Ming army at the top of the city and under the city all heard the sound and looked at the source of the sound. Everyone seemed to be a little more energetic.

Xu Guangqi stood with his head bowed, not seeing the emperor responding to him, feeling a little anxious in his heart, a little worried that his advice would be useless.

At this moment, I heard Hu Guang's voice: "Xu Qing, it's not impossible for me to lift the ban, but they must cut off their direct relationship with Xiyang and change their teachings. Otherwise, the banning and expulsion would only be light."

Xu Guangqi was shocked when he heard it, and quickly advised again: "Your Majesty, the reason why Xiyi is willing to pass on those unheard of knowledge is just to spread the word. If there is a change, it will be difficult to learn!"

"Hehe!" Hu Guang couldn't help laughing when he heard that, if the original Emperor Chongzhen was really like this, but he came from later generations, he really wasn't afraid that they wouldn't teach him.

The drum was very loud, and Hu Guang had to raise his voice: "I know Xu Qing's intentions. I just want to tell you that these Xiyi missionaries have a lot of evil intentions, and I don't care about their reliance. Wait Jianlu retreated, and I personally opened a course to let you know that Western knowledge is a trivial skill!"

Well, I was actually the one who hung up, when he said this, he admitted silently in his heart.

Seeing Xu Guangqi looking up at himself with disbelief, Hu Guang smiled and continued: "And I intend to let everyone in Daming learn this knowledge, so, what do you think of the national power of Daming?"

Xu Guangqi heard that his mouth became an "O" shape, and he might be able to stuff an egg.After a long while, disregarding your impoliteness, he murmured: "This is impossible, this is impossible..."

In his opinion, Xiyi's knowledge, even for him who was born as a Jinshi, finds it difficult, and it is more difficult to learn.But the emperor said that everyone in Daming should learn it. This... This is either he heard it wrong, or the emperor is crazy!
"Is Xu Qing willing to take on the role of enlightenment?"

Hearing this, Xu Guangqi refocused his eyes, fixed his eyes on the face of the young emperor in front of him, and subconsciously said: "I am willing!"

Ever since he experienced Western knowledge, as a Jinshi, a person who has been deeply influenced by Confucianism, he also converted to Catholicism, just to learn this Western knowledge, and to write books to spread this Western knowledge.This shows how keen he is on spreading Western learning.In the history of China, it was rated as No.1 for opening eyes to see the world.

At this time, the emperor asked him if he would like to spread this Western learning to everyone in Ming Dynasty, so why wouldn't he be willing!

However, he immediately came to his senses and immediately felt that this was impossible.Even if in his consciousness at this time, everyone mentioned by the emperor actually refers to those scholars, he still feels impossible.

When Xu Guangqi was about to say something, Hu Guangxian spoke first, and he said solemnly: "Xu Qing will go back and prepare, and sort out all the knowledge you have or have not mastered for me. In addition, after I return to the palace, I will issue an order, Let Xu Qing take the post of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and concentrate on this matter of enlightenment!"

The original minister of the Ministry of Rites was Wen Tiren, but he was already the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty. Although he was the minister of the Ministry of Rites, this was no longer his job. Therefore, promoting Xu Guangqi as the minister of the Ministry of Rites did not conflict with Wen Tiren.Just like one of Sun Chengzong's titles at this time is the Minister of the Ministry of War, but in fact the actual Minister of the Ministry of War is Shen Yongmao.

Xu Guangqi left in a daze, and even forgot to persuade Hu Guang to leave the watchtower.

Hu Guang's thoughts turned back to his eyes, this battle was commanded by Man Gui, and he was just a spectator.It was like a [-]D ancient war movie, staged in front of his eyes.
