Zhu Youxiao had already asked Shen Shouyao to wait before the voyage to the West, and bring a group of scholar-bureaucrats actively recruited by the Ministry of Personnel who were willing to serve as officials overseas to serve as officials in the newly occupied areas after the voyage.
These scholar-bureaucrats were all scholars who had failed in their official career in the Ming Dynasty but still had ambitions.
And now being sent to serve as officials in other places is naturally a good choice for them.
However, there were too many scholars in the Ming Dynasty, and there were only a few scholars who wanted to be officials.
Even if it was an opportunity to serve as an official thousands of miles away, many scholar-bureaucrats were competing for it, so that candidate officials who could follow the voyages to the West had to go through a screening process.
And when temporary officials are actually appointed in the newly established colonial areas, they have to go through another screening process.
Therefore, the Han Chinese doctors who can now be appointed as officials in various parts of the new colonial area are not bad in quality, at least in good physical quality, because being able to withstand several years of rough seas is not something ordinary people can do.
But when you arrive in these new colonial areas, it feels very good to directly serve as a high-ranking official such as governor or governor.
For them, the trip was not in vain.
However, for the current Netherlands, the governors sent by Zhang Huangyan to the Dutch provinces did not have much actual power, because apart from their own entourage and the money allocated to them, they did not have their own troops.
Even Zhang Huangyan, the governor himself, can only be regarded as an empty governor at the moment. The Marine Corps he brought is only the size of a battalion. With 4,000 troops, he can barely hold on to The Hague City.
In order to successfully collect taxes next year and take over the city defense of towns in various provinces of the Netherlands, he must recruit local people as soldiers and rely on local people to maintain public order and resist the invasion of foreign forces.
This is also the reason why he can't carry out the Sinicization work in the Netherlands yet. He can only be a temporary emperor and let the Dutch provinces develop freely.
But he can still do it now by inviting outstanding scientists and craftsmen in the Netherlands to Ming Dynasty.
"Mr. Descartes, His Majesty the Ming Emperor wants to summon you and ask you to go to China for academic exchanges. You will go with your teacher in the Netherlands, Mr. Mason, and several of your friends. Your experimental equipment and all books and materials They will also be taken away, along with your family members."
After Zhang Huangyan arrived at Descartes and Mason's residence, he directly sent troops to surround their manor, and started talking when he saw Descartes.
Descartes was as surprised as Pascal and Fermat. He moved to the Netherlands because the French church was too powerful to discuss the religious reform. So when he learned that the Orientals were coming to rule the Netherlands, he was even worried that the Orientals would not rule the Netherlands. The meeting was not allowed to discuss the religious reform, but he did not expect that this was not the case. On the contrary, the emperor of these Eastern people would summon him.
"But my teacher, Mr. Mason, is seriously ill, and the therapeutic effect of bloodletting is not satisfactory. It may be inconvenient for him to accept the summons of your Majesty the Emperor. In addition, I also want to accompany him in his final years. Please forgive me."
Descartes said.
"Doctor Ye! Go and treat his teacher."
Seeing this, Zhang Huangyan gave instructions to the accompanying doctor Ye Shi, and said to Descartes: "Bloodletting is of no use! Our Chinese doctors may be able to save the teacher, please take him there."
Descartes nodded. Since a dead horse was a living doctor, he did not refuse.
After Ye Shi looked at Meisen and asked about it, he said: "The wind and cold caused by the external illness have damaged the lungs and need to be taken care of, but it can be cured."
So, next, Ye Shi prescribed a prescription.
Zhang Huangyan, on the other hand, asked someone to fetch the medicinal materials that he brought with him and take them according to the prescription.
After taking about three doses of medicine, Mason, a famous mathematician in history, began to show signs of improvement. He reduced fever and cough, and after re-conditioning, he recovered immediately.
Descartes was quite shocked by this. After seeing Zhang Huangyan again, he couldn't help but ask: "Is this the medical skill of the East? Dare I ask, why did you cure my teacher in this way?"
"If you want to know the answer, go back to Middle-earth with them first!"
Zhang Huangyan said something.
"good!"
Descartes therefore agreed directly.
Next, Descartes, Mason and others went to Barcelona, where they met Pascal, Fermat and others.
Descartes also came into contact with the "Theory of Probability", "Detailed Explanation of Nine Chapters Algorithm" and "Theory of Calculus" published by the Ming Dynasty's Li Jian, and excitedly discussed it with Mersenne, Fermat, Pascal and others, which had a great influence on the Ming Dynasty. interest of.
The Ming Holy Emperor's fleet is indeed preparing to sail back home, and has begun to purchase supplies and slaves needed for the voyage.
But before officially returning to China, according to the instructions of the Ming Emperor, Shen Shouao and Zhu Yujian had one last important thing to do, which was to declare to European countries the basic global order drawn up by His Majesty the Ming Emperor and to express the Ming Empire's support for Neutrality in the religious struggles of Europe.
Therefore, France, Spain, Portugal, and the United Kingdom were all invited by Shen Shouyao and Zhu Yujian to send representatives to The Hague to participate in the global conference convened by the Ming Empire.
At the meeting, Shen Shouao declared the content of the basic global order drawn up by the Ming Emperor, which mainly stated that people from other countries must not be killed without permission or on a large scale, and merchant ships must not be plundered. He also asked the representatives attending the meeting to accept such an order, otherwise they would be punished. The crusade against the Ming Empire.
For Portugal and Spain, which were already in a period of decline in their overseas colonies, they were happy to accept such an order because their merchant ships were the most plundered.
Therefore, neither they nor the Confucian countries refused.
But Britain and France refused.
Because, nowadays, the most ruthless ones in plundering merchant ships overseas are the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, while France is mainly engaged in land expansion.
Therefore, neither Britain nor France agreed.
As for Holland, because he had become a part of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty did not declare to him, but directly issued an order.
The Netherlands now has tens of thousands of merchant ships around the world, is known as the sea coachman, and has strong maritime power.
If the Dutch provinces were not subordinate to each other and their power was dispersed, the Ming Dynasty would not have easily annexed them.
It would take a lot of effort for Ming Dynasty to make these Dutch businessmen abide by the rules.
Of course, this is something.
Shen Shouyao and Zhu Yujian just expressed their attitudes on behalf of the Ming Empire.
The purpose of expressing the Ming Empire's neutral attitude towards the religious disputes in Europe was to facilitate the purchase of arms.
Shortly after this, the Ming Holy Emperor's fleet officially set off to return home.
The scale of the Holy Emperor Fleet of the Ming Dynasty was larger than when it came. Because the Holy Emperor Fleet came on this trip, it signed a series of trade agreements with Portugal, France, Spain, the United Kingdom, and Austria, and Dutch merchants also obtained from Governor Zhang Huangyan. Better trade policy, therefore, many Western merchant ships also returned home with the Ming Holy Emperor Fleet, preparing to purchase more goods.
Here, the main goods they want to purchase are arms.
