Chapter 202 One day there will be thousands of large ships

"Uncle, this missionary named Huang wants to lure the students in the school to be baptized."

The surname Huang refers to Fernando, whose Chinese name is Huang Decan. A teacher next to him glared at Fernando.

“Preach?”

Zhao Liang, Jiang Zhe and others all changed their expressions.

This is something that the court explicitly prohibits.

Since the ritual dispute arose in the late Kangxi period, due to the arrogance of the Roman Pope, the Kangxi and Yongzheng and Gan dynasties had the same attitude - it was strictly forbidden to spread foreign religions in China.

So much so that in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the very decent foreign religions developed in China in a hundred years, were once the first-class missionaries of the dynasty, and in an instant, only a few missionaries were left and were encircled in the palace to become emperor's court artists, imperial painters, and imperial craftsmen.

Church missionaries in other provinces were all confiscated and expelled.

Moreover, due to the intervention of the Roman pope, foreign religions prohibit believers from worshiping Confucius and ancestors. Even if some missionaries deliberately blurred the words, they could not avoid this trouble after all.

This requirement has an innately irreconcilable and sharp contradiction with China's traditional culture, which further exacerbates the difficulty of spreading foreign religions in China.

In today's era, although there are still people who believe in foreign religions in China, there are always exceptions. Just like a certain village in Ansu County, Baoding, thousands of people in the village are foreign believers, and missionaries are still secretly sneaking into China to preach, and even in some places, they have reached a silent tacit understanding with local governments.

For example, in order to cover the skin, apply tea powder to the face, dye the skin yellow, and try not to interfere in local affairs... and various perceptive behaviors and a large amount of money in exchange for turning a blind eye to local officials.

But it is an undisputed fact that the foreign religion has been transferred underground.

Because everyone knows that if you believe in foreign religions, you don’t worship Confucius or ancestors, then it’s okay not to worship Confucius. Wouldn’t you even want your ancestors if you don’t worship ancestors?

Therefore, people in many places are very disgusted with foreign religions, and this large climate has been completely formed.

Therefore, Liang Qi was so irritable when he heard about Fernando's mission.

Fernando, who was younger and stronger, also knew that what he did was "fatal" and did not resist Liang Qi's beating at all. He even hoped that his image would be more miserable and would be able to get a little sympathy.

The lesson plans of the Qianlong Dynasty are all vivid in their purpose.

In the 11th year of Qianlong's reign, Zhou Xuejian, the governor of Fujian, launched the Fuzhou lesson plan. Bai Duolou, the assistant to Fujian, was beheaded the following year. The famous Daoming and two foreign churchmen were secretly executed in prison.

Although the bloody tragedy failed to stop the missionaries from continuing to preach, it also invisibly sounded the policeman's contingent.

Fernando is less than thirty years old, so he doesn't want to die.

"Mr. Jiang, do you think about this?"

Zhao Liang directly handed over the decision-making power to Jiang Zhe. If Jiang Zheren was not present at the scene, this matter would be easily covered up.

But now that Jiang Zhe happened to be in trouble, Zhao Liang could not decide the decision.

Fernando showed an ugly smile at Jiang Zhe, his ugly smile full of flattery.

"One is the director and the other is the teacher. He actually fights openly in school, which is really a bad influence. In my opinion, he will beat 50 major boards each and deduct all his salary this month."

Jiang Zhe would not be serious at this time. If he didn't mention his previous friendship with Zhao Liang, he would just say that he, a small official with a sesame, could even hold a missionary?

He also offended the Zhao family deeply.

So he didn't see any missionary things at all. All he saw was someone fighting in the technical school.

Others will naturally "deeply agree". Even if they are angry as Liang Qi, they will be filled with gratitude at this time. If this is a quarrel, he will not care whether the grandson named Huang will die, but what he cares about is whether the technical school and the children in the school will be implicated.

Now the result is the best.

After this happened, Jiang Zhe stopped staying in the technical school for more.

Zhao Liang accompanied the people out. How to deal with Fernando and Liang Qi afterwards are all trivial matters.

"Fernando is also very ignorant. Chenzhou Prefecture is a thousand miles away, and everyone respects his ancestors and worships Emperor Xi. It is difficult for the ability of Buddhism and Taoism to flourish here, and foreign religions are even more rootless. It is really a delusion that he wants to preach here."

Jiang Zhe casually dissipated Fernando, and then said with emotion:

"Since Emperor Shengzuren banned religion at the end of the year, it has been more than fifty years since the time of this. Although the foreign religion is still spread in China, its foundation has been completely destroyed. I don't know who knows it underground to the Western Pope, and don't regret it?"

According to Chinese culture, adapting to changes is a very recognized strategy. Sacrifices of insignificant things to bring greater and more rewards, which is very consistent with the Chinese people's perception.

Therefore, the dispute over Chinese and Western etiquette that began in the late Kangxi period was ridiculous in the eyes of many people in the officialdom.

The cause is ridiculous, the pope's arrogance is ridiculous, and the decades of persistence in the Holy See are even more ridiculous.

Although this persistence will benefit even greater benefit from the Holy See. After all, their fundamental interests are in the European mainland.

On the way, Jiang Zhe and Zhao Liang talked about the faculty of the technical school and whether they could have more Fernando so that they could use their knowledge to understand European history more thoroughly. As a result, when they encountered such a thing, the topics they talked about when they went back would inevitably shift to foreign education.

Zhao Liang laughed. Jiang Zhe understood and decided not much more about this matter. More than fifty years have passed, and Jiang Zhe’s current status is not high, at most he can only hearsay.

Zhao Liang had specifically asked Du Niang about this etiquette dispute in his previous life.

Before the Pope ordered the ban on worshipping Confucius and ancestors, there had been several reversals within the foreign religion. However, the conflict between the Jesuits itself and the Holy See prompted Pope Krim XI to issue a more firm attitude in 1704 to prohibit believers from ceremonies of worshiping ancestors and worshiping Confucius.

This does not mean that the Jesuits, like Protestantism, Lutheranism, etc. strongly opposed the Holy See. On the contrary, they are the backbone of the anti-faith reform in the Holy See and the biggest and strongest supporters of the centralized sacred system of the Holy See.

But the trend of the great era cannot be reversed just by saying it is reversed. Several popes gradually felt overwhelmed in the game with King Louis XIV, Louis XV, and the Enlightenment, Protestantism, Jansen School and Gallicism that broke out in Europe. They were forced to give up the Jesuits standing on the side of the Pope and the King. King Louis XV also hoped to seek stability within the French political situation, while the Pope hoped to rebuild a true and permanent peace within the Holy See.

Although from a historical perspective, whether it is the Bourbon dynasty in France or the Holy See itself, doing this is just a drinking poison to quench thirst, which is tantamount to shooting oneself in the foot.

But their eyes cannot see through the fog of history, right?

In 1742, Pope Benedict XIV reiterated the ban of Kwen XIV and banned all debates. This was a complete conclusion on this matter.

Zhao Liang's remarks made Jiang Zhe feel excited. He immediately praised: "Mingtang really has a heart in Europe, and he can even be familiar with this kind of thing?"

"It's just that we are dissatisfied. The Western religions do not understand Chinese etiquette and enter our eastern lands, and do not follow the old customs of our country, but instead want to follow our vast Chinese according to its old customs and bad habits. How hateful is it?"

"I have a thought in my mind that I only think that the pope despises my China."

"I wish to see the imperial court rise up. One day, a huge ship will be built to cover the sky and the sun, and cross the oceans and reach the city of Rome, and blame others for the crime. The Pope who forced him to change Zhang Yixian..."

Everyone laughed.
