Father Philip of the Holy See, Baron von Zeckert, envoy of the Holy Roman Empire, Baron Santos, envoy of the Kingdom of Spain, Friedrich Wilhelm Leibniz, envoy of the Kingdom of France, Grant of the Anglican Church Father Findol, Sir Charles Gough of the British East India Company, Governor John Masuek of the Dutch East India Company, Baron Warburg, the envoy of the Kingdom of Sweden, and Arnonio de Cass, the envoy of the Kingdom of Portugal. Tro Sande and others, as well as their "shared translator" Ji Dabao, were following two bearded Yuanru men in commoner clothes and scarves, with long swords and bronze hammers, walking around and around the wooden stairs. He walked up for a long time before reaching the top floor of Tengwang Pavilion on the west wall of Nanchang.
When they walked into the top floor of Vine King, they found that the large room was somewhat empty, with no furniture or decoration. There were only eleven futons and ten low tables.
One of the futons and a table are facing south. A bearded man wearing a yellow cross-collar cloth and a yellow turban is kneeling on the futon. On the floor to his right is a handle. A long sword, a grenade hammer, and a flintlock pistol.
Behind this man stood two men in red robes and yellow turbans who looked very fierce at first glance, with three-piece sets of long swords, copper hammers, and flintlock guns hanging on their bodies.
There is also a futon placed on the left hand side of the scholar in yellow, on which kneels an old scholar with a white beard, also in red and gold, but without the three-piece set of long sword, grenade hammer, and pistol.
The other nine futons and nine small tables are placed opposite the big scholar in yellow, all facing south. The futons were empty, and there were two scrolls and a name tag on each small table.
The nameplate is written in cursive Latin script with the names of nine Western envoys and their names as well as the names of the countries or forces they represent.
Before the official of Honglu Temple who led the Western envoys upstairs could speak, Ji Dabao had already recognized the scholar in yellow clothes as Zhu Heji, the current supervisor of the Ming Dynasty.
He quickly said to the nine foreigners in Latin: "The man in yellow is the supervisor of the Ming Dynasty!"
After saying this, he was the first to bow to Zhu Heji: "Ji Dabao, professor of Cambridge Academy in England and general secretary of the United Mission of Western Countries, respectfully invites His Highness the Supervisor of the Ming Dynasty Jin An!"
Zhu Heji nodded slightly and said nothing. The white-bearded old man sitting next to him was the newly appointed minister of Honglu Temple, Luo Wenzao, and said: "Professor Ji, there is no futon prepared for you here, so you can just stand and be the general manager!"
"Wansheng knows." Ji Dabao bowed respectfully to Luo Wenzao again, and then stood aside.
Listening to his current words and looking at his current posture of saluting, it is obvious that he has asked someone for advice.
This overseas Chinese, who was born in Manila and has been drifting in Southeast Asia since childhood, originally did not think highly of traditional Chinese culture. But since he learned that the spells in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "The List of Gods" are very likely to be real, and these "real spells" allowed him to taste the taste of being superior to others in England (which he tasted in bed) ...He suddenly became a disseminator of Chinese traditional culture!
After Ji Dabao stood up, Luo Wenzao began to call the roll call. Whoever's name was called would come in, salute, acknowledge the name, and then find his or her name tag and sit down.
Zhu Heji didn't have much ceremony of kneeling and kowtowing. It was usually a bowing ceremony. Only on rare occasions did it need to be knelt down. Moreover, Zhu Heji's kneeling here is not kowtow, but kneeling and praying. It is a bit difficult to be realistic, so he can only pray less.
"Tfried Wilhelm Leibniz?" When Zhu Heji heard Leibniz's name, he suddenly became energetic. After being stunned for a moment, he asked, "Are you German? Are you proficient in it?" Mathematics and physics?”
Leibniz was also stunned. He never expected that there would be a big man in distant East Asia who knew his name, and also knew that he was proficient in mathematics and physics... Isn't this amazing?
"Your Highness," he replied directly in Chinese with a hint of Hu Jianyin (Ji Dabao is from southern Fujian), "I am indeed a German, and I am also a mathematician and physicist!"
Ha ha! I really found a treasure!
Zhu Heji thought to himself: "This is fate! Okay, just stay...how to stay? You have to think about it carefully!"
By the way, who is the British envoy? Couldn't it be Newton? "
Thinking of this, Zhu Heji first warmly greeted Leibniz to sit down, and then waited expectantly for Newton to appear.
Unfortunately, Newton did not show up, and the Anglican Church just sent a Gryffindor. Zhu Hexin said: "The last name is quite familiar. It seems that there is some kind of Gryffindor House in the UK... It should be a mixed-diploma university, right?"
After a while, everyone finished their names and sat cross-legged behind the small table with their name tags written on them.
These people also noticed the scroll placed on the small table, and they didn't know what it was? Zhu Heji didn't let them see it, so everyone could only suppress their curiosity temporarily.
Before Zhu Heji could wait for the nine Western envoys to speak, he spoke first: "Everyone, the Gu family has generally known the purpose of your visit...it is nothing more than the Catholic missionary freedom, the East India Trading Company's Monopolized free trade, as well as your rights and interests in various parts of Nanyang, which is the territory of my Ming Dynasty. Am I right?"
He didn't speak quickly, pausing after a sentence to let Luo Wenzao translate his words into Latin.
"Your Highness," Pastor Philip, the envoy of the Holy See, spoke at this time, "The Holy See and the Holy Roman Empire, Spain, France, England, the Netherlands, Sweden, Portugal, the Dutch East India Company, and the English East India Company will be in East and Southeast Asia. Take a unified stance!”
Baron von Zeckert of the Holy Roman Empire, a small German nobleman, then continued the topic of Pastor Philip: "Your Highness, we do not want to interfere in China's internal affairs... As long as you and your The government can abide by recognized international rules, respect the interests of our countries in the Nanyang region, respect and guarantee not to change the status quo there, respect the norms of free trade, give the Catholic Church the freedom to spread the gospel of the Lord in your land, and properly Resolve the Macau dispute with the Portuguese through negotiation.”
His words were translated into Chinese by Ji Dabao.
Zhu Heji laughed at the German's words and suddenly burst out laughing: "The Archduke of Austria must think that his country has no interests in Asia and is far away from the Ming Dynasty. He is not afraid of being sanctioned by the Ming Dynasty at all, so he asked you to help him." Are you talking nonsense about the Holy See and his Spanish cousins and Portuguese friends? But he has forgotten that Muhammad once said: Seek the truth, even as far away as China!
Now, several envoys from the Caliphate have arrived in Guangzhou, but they are not here to seek the truth, but to seek magic gunpowder that can destroy the Vienna Castle!
Baron, on the table in front of you is the Ming-HRE Treaty in duplicate... Take these two treaties and return to Europe with my envoy. Go tell Leopold First, if he doesn’t want to see the Turks use Chinese magic gunpowder to blow open the city walls of Vienna, he will honestly sign the treaty and abide by it! "
Luo Wenzao immediately translated Zhu Heji's words into Latin word for word, and the baron of the Holy Roman Empire was dumbfounded after listening to Luo Wenzao's translation... because Leopold The German emperor never let him go to China to become a villain. The emperor just wanted cheap perfume!
What Louis XIV had, Leopold I also had!
It's that simple. But because this baron loves God and wants to go to heaven, he was persuaded by Father Philip when he was in Nanjing and agreed to go to the Ming Dynasty Supervisory King to pretend to be a villain.
As a result, I didn’t get the perfume now, and I have to go back with an unequal treaty... Oh, it should be unequal!
If you don’t sign, you may end up losing your country!
If Leopold I wanted to know the truth, he wouldn't have to shoot him with his own hands?
