Because of his superb violin playing, Mr. Sebuki Capasa became a guest of the royal palace and even the major palaces, and the monthly training of musicians was greatly reduced.
Because he liked porcelain, some nobles in the capital also gave away some of their exquisite antique porcelain collections. Matteo Ricci once settled an account with Capassa. If Mr. Capassa returned to China now and sold the porcelain in his hands, If he loses, his liquid assets may surpass that of the Grand Duke Medici of Tuscany and become the richest man in Florence.
After listening to Ricci's account, Capasa felt dizzy. When he was drunk, he couldn't help bragging in the envoys. At this time, everyone in the mission had some talent and took the initiative to report it to the officials of Honglu Temple, hoping to get the same treatment as Kapasa.
As a result, a strange sight appeared in the capital - for several consecutive issues, "Xinmin Daily" published small advertisements for training, including but not limited to: oil painting teaching, clock repair, Western cartography, etc. Among them, the guy with ocean navigation experience was snapped up by British nobles on the first day the advertisement was published.
It can be said that apart from the fact that the non-religious members of the mission often attract onlookers when they go to the streets, their lives in the Ming Dynasty are very happy, and all of them have made a lot of money - and they need to return to Europe to cash out.
The only inconvenience is that because they are not ascetic priests, they always have physiological needs to address. But the madam of a high-end brothel in the capital disliked their strange looks and strong body odor, and wouldn't let them go in to spend money - so they held it in for a long time.
One time, Capasa couldn't bear it anymore and asked Brother Tulong, a layman of Hongbao Temple in Honglu Temple. In this regard, Tu Long was a top expert in Ming Dynasty official circles. Seeing Kapasa's blushing face, he couldn't help but sneered: "You barbarians can't go to a big brothel, but how can you still lack women if you have money?" That day, I took him to the "Ajar Door Style Street" and opened the door to a new world for these foreign devils.
This kind of cultural exchange cannot be sunny and snowy, otherwise it will not be down-to-earth. In less than half a month, the envoy's collective nickname has been revealed in the Capital Fengyue venue: "Ruyi Man." There are also people called "Donkey Yi", which all express the same meaning.
At this time, the Ming Dynasty was in the late stage of star liberation, so there was no pressure for everyone to communicate about such things. Some wealthy second-generation people in the capital were dissatisfied when they heard this, so they couldn't help but send posts to invite guests, and also discuss and discuss things - and even told the legend of Lv Yi's extraordinary talent all over the streets. Although these barbarians cannot last long, they do look weird: they look more and more like donkeys.
…
Let’s not talk about the chaos among the envoys for now. On the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month in the tenth year of Wanli, King Shunyi, as Mr. Capasa described in his letter to Duke Medici, finally led the tribute team and traveled nearly a thousand miles. Before the arrival of the New Year, he rushed from Guihua City to the capital in the wind and snow.
When the team reached the Daming Gate, Gao Qiyu, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, led relevant officials from the Privy Council and the National Security Bureau to greet King Shunyi outside the city gate with the courtesy of a king. King Xin'ai of Shunyi, Huang Taiji, couldn't bear it clearly, so he hurriedly jumped out of the carriage, knelt on the ground, and said politely.
Gao Qiyu secretly praised Huang Taiji for his cleverness and cleverness, while several generals in the Privy Council cried out in their hearts that it was a pity. They all had bright eyes, praying that Huang Taiji would suddenly lose his head, and the more crazy the better. But it is a pity that King Shunyi was very ecstatic when he kowtowed to the Daming Gate. His butt was stuck out, and it was hard to find fault with his slumped look.
After Huang Taiji stood up, he looked at the burning eyes of the generals behind Gao Qiyu, and his heart was beating like a deer. I thought to myself that my Zhong Jin was right, everyone was expecting me to make a mistake.
This king of Shunyi was honored as Xin'ai Huangtaiji, and his full name was Bo'er Jijin. Senggedu Gulentemuer was the eldest son of the old Shunyi king Aanda Khan. When he was young, he was famous for his bravery. His bow and horse were the best among all tribes, and he was called one of the Five Mongolian Warriors. But now he is in his fifties, and his old age is beginning to show, and he does not have the heroic appearance of the past outside the Ming Dynasty.
At the beginning of last year, the old king of Shunyi, Ada Khan, fell ill. Although the emperor urgently sent doctors and medicines, he died before the doctor arrived. His son Xin'ai Huang Taiji followed the Mongolian rules of marrying his stepmother and married Zhongjin Hatun, the wife of the old King Shunyi, and successfully inherited the throne of King Shunyi in the summer.
Zhongjin Hatun married the old Shunyi King when he was nine years old. He is thirty-three years old this year. However, Xin Ai Huang Taiji is already old and ugly, so he was rejected by Zhongjin Hatun Chou and was unwilling to marry him. He rode with him on horseback. The cavalry of the headquarters ran away from Guihua City.
Because Zhongjin Hatun holds the signing power for mutual trade with the Han Dynasty, it does not matter if she runs away, the entire Monan Mongolia has lost the legitimacy of the mutual trade with the Han Dynasty. Xin Ai Huang Taiji had no choice but to ride a horse and chase him in person according to Mongolian tradition at such an age. He chased and sang in pursuit, all the way to the outskirts of Xuanda University.
When Zheng Luo, the governor of Xuanda, learned about this, he couldn't laugh or cry. He sent an envoy to tell Zhongjin Hatun, "If my wife belongs to King Shunyi (referring to Huang Taiji), she will not lose the favor of the court, otherwise she will be just a woman on the wall." Zhongjin Hatun was frightened when he heard this, so he had to agree to marry Huang Taiji.
The new King Shunyi successfully took over the throne and reported to the court for approval. Fengdi is not heard of outside the Nine Borders, and Zheng Luo takes credit for this. The causes and consequences were reported to the court, and the Political Hall and the Privy Council put forward two opposite opinions:
The Zhengshitang believed that Zheng Luodong was aware of the secret and sent an envoy to calm down the border affairs. He planned to reward him with a higher reward and the title of Minister of the Ministry of War. The Privy Council believed that Zheng Luotong had missed the opportunity to pacify Monan Mongolia - if there was a dispute between Zhongjin Hatun and Huang Taiji, the imperial court could support either side and send troops in any name to bring Monan Mongolia under its control.
After the lawsuit was brought to Zhu Yijun, it triggered a deep introspection by Zhu Yijun - because in recent years he had focused all his energy on internal affairs and the southwest, and had not set a new policy for northern Xinjiang, which resulted in the failure of local officials and the court to achieve it It's the emperor's fault to be consistent and keep things idle.
Mistakes must be corrected. Zhu Yijun immediately organized a state affairs meeting. After everyone argued at the meeting, Zhu Yijun made the final decision and decided to get more involved in Montenegro affairs.
After the policy was decided, everyone knew what to do. Zhongjin Hatun was already married to Huang Taiji. There was nothing to do in this direction. They could only slowly look for opportunities.
Unexpectedly, sleepiness came to the pillow. After the death of King Shunyi, his brother Kunduliha, the lord of the Karaqin tribe, fished in troubled waters and joined forces with his neighbor Tumen Zasak Tuhan to plunder the tribute market, intending to make a profit - because he did not kill anyone. , the news was delivered a little slowly, but it was still caught by the court.
This Tumen, known as Zasak Tuhan, is a descendant of Chahar Khan, whose father is named Kuden Khan. During the reign of Kuden Khan, Anda Khan rose to prominence. Kuden Khan consciously moved his court to the edge of Liaodong and the Jurchens, surrendered to Anda, and survived.
In Tumen's generation, the Great Khan was unable to compete with Anda. He was also very well-behaved around Liaodong and generally did not get involved in the troubles between Wang Gao and Liaodong. Therefore, these days are getting poorer and poorer, authority is gone, and the major tribes under his control basically do their own thing.
In the ninth year of Wanli, Tumen Khan was instigated by Kundu Liha and went to the border market to trade while he was escaping from marriage in Zhongjinhatun. Of course he was rejected because he could not provide formal procedures. Then they used this as an excuse to plunder Han merchants and make a lot of money. Xiao Bao carried a lot back.
When the news reached the capital, the imperial court, which had long been jealous of Tumen Khan's territory, could not let go of this opportunity. The emperor issued an edict and sent troops to Daning and Liaodong. Before the end of autumn, they successfully joined forces in the north of the Khan's court. One battle of annihilation and two lackluster pursuit battles. A total of more than 4,000 people were beheaded. Chahar was the third The Great Khan Zhasaktu conferred the title of head.
At the beginning of the tenth year of Wanli, the emperor announced to the world that the Ming Dynasty had added the province of Rehe and stationed Liuguan. In the summer, the imperial court carried out the remaining power of killing Tumen Zhasak Tuhan, and issued an edict ordering King Shunyi to go to Beijing to submit tribute forms and pay tribute. This is why King Shunyi behaved like this outside the Ming Dynasty Gate.
