The leader is just a position and a respectful title. His essence is the same as the Archbishop, and is a specific title for the person in charge of a specific region.

In order to make the Eastern Diocese more appropriate to the Chinese people and perfectly fit with the traditional Chinese culture, the Archbishop's re-called leader was inevitability and importance.

Given the urgency and danger of the current situation in the Eastern Diocese, His Excellency St. John Pang Maichen was appointed as the leader of the Eastern Diocese, so that he can turn the tide and rectify the chaos, which is also a historical necessity.

A saint will come out in five hundred years.

As a historical creator, transformer, and a height creator of human civilization who has experienced vicissitudes and has gone through vicissitudes and has moved from ordinary to greatness, Eunuch Wei is unwilling to do so.

Eunuch Wei hopes to cultivate a group of reformists so that these reformists can recognize the line errors and ideological errors in the Eastern Diocese, and can unswervingly fight against wrong ideas and wrong lines to the end, get rid of the shackles of old dogmatism, and completely break the various blind movements and superstitions that have emerged in the Catholic oriental missionary cause.

To break the old authority, new authority must be established.

The five-level responsibility system is to establish the authority of Eunuch Wei in the Eastern Diocese.

"Everything obeys the Eastern Master, everything goes through the Eastern Master!"

Under the guidance of the two "everything", Eunuch Wei believed that the Eastern Diocese would definitely become a motor for the rise of Catholicism in the future and would also become a model of the world's Catholic movement.

Great people are destined to be lonely.

Eunuch Wei cannot fight alone, he needs comrades.

Comrade Xiong Sanba is an excellent Catholic priest and the most loyal student of Father Matteo Ricci, an old friend of the Chinese people. Therefore, it is very appropriate to take over as the head of the Catholic Beijing Branch.

Of course, a few months ago, Eunuch Wei had many cordial conversations with Guo Jujing, Jinnige, Steelon and others about the Catholic personnel arrangements.

When talking about the most important personnel arrangements of Chinese dioceses in the Eastern Diocese, Guo Jujing, Jin Nige and others all recommended Comrade Xiong Sanba as the head of the Beijing branch.

There are three reasons.

First, Comrade Xiong Sanba is still young and is only 52 years old this year.

At this age, the Beijing church master who is equivalent to the provincial tutor of the Chinese diocese is undoubtedly suitable and competent.

Second, Comrade Xiong Sanba is a good student of Father Matteo Ricci. He has a certain prestige in Chinese dioceses, including the Jesuits in China, which can effectively suppress the objections of the Beijing branch.

Third, the appointment of Comrade Xiong Sanba can send a clear signal to the Jesuits, that is, the new Oriental Bishops strongly valued the pro-China faction. In this way, the Matteo Ricci clergy who have always been suppressed by Long Huamin will definitely warmly support the Oriental Leader.

Eunuch Wei adopted the opinions of Guo Jujing and others, and this time he came to Nantang in person was also a test of Xiong Sanba.

Taking Fu Xunxun was to pave the way for Xiong Sanba to officially hold the Beijing branch; Macau Huiyin was a test of the loyalty of Comrade Xiong Sanba.

Facts have proved that Comrade Xiong Sanba has withstood the test of the organization. Xiong Sanba is trustworthy in terms of right and wrong.

According to the Catholic system, when priests and bishops accept appointments, they usually have to half kneel and receive baptism from the archbishop.

The new Oriental Master was obviously unwilling to adopt the Western baptism law, so at his request, Comrade Xiong Sanba stood upright, raised his right arm, and called out three times "loyalty". In this way, he was officially appointed as the leader of the Beijing Branch.

"The Academic Affairs Office plans to select seven to nine Academic Affairs Commissioners, and the specialists will be selected from the heads of each branch. The capital is the top priority of the church in China. The church master is different from ordinary provinces. I hope you can do it yourself."

Eunuch Wei encouraged Xiong Sanba to be the leader of the Beijing church and encouraged him to lead his subordinates...lead his clergy and believers to actively develop the capital branch, develop business, recruit talents, and contribute to the realization of the Catholicism's rise in China.

According to Article 7 of the Sinization Planning Plan, the church master is equivalent to the fifth-rank assistant archbishop of the seventh-rank holy rank, and the academy commissioner is equal to the fourth-rank bishop of the diocese. Xiong Sanba was originally a sixth-rank bishop. If he could be elected as the academy commissioner, he would be promoted to the second-rank at once. This is undoubtedly a leap in his career for Xiong Sanba, who is already 52 years old.

Obviously, Eunuch Wei has high hopes for Xiong Sanba.

Regarding the matters related to the formal establishment of the Beijing branch of Nantang, Eunuch Wei only asked Xiong Sanba to do it according to the planning plan. If he could not deal with it, he would report it to the leader for his decision.

"Don't panic when encountering problems, write a report and hand it to me..."

In terms of specific work, Eunuch Wei gave Comrade Xiong Sanba some suggestions and advice, and asked him to pay attention to promoting more young clergy, especially to select talents from the representatives of believers, and grant them clergy in an irregular manner.

"Our Eastern Diocese must break the previous constraints and break those jars and jars, and must be brave to innovate. We must do everything that is beneficial to the development of our church!"

"In the future, whether it comes from the West or the East, it will be the solid strength of our Eastern diocese, especially young people. We must pay attention to it and cultivate it. We must do our best to provide young people with a platform to give full play to their strengths and allow them to feel the vitality that other dioceses do not have in our Eastern diocese!"

“…”

After a long talk, Eunuch Wei handed over an iron seal and a letter of appointment to Xiong Sanba. With this seal, Xiong Sanba could fully handle everything in the Beijing branch. No one except the leader and the Academic Affairs Office had the right to interfere in the work of the Beijing branch.

"It's getting late. This year is the Chinese New Year's Eve. You should gather with the representatives of believers and drink when necessary. Although the rules and regulations can cultivate people's character, appropriate relaxation can inspire people's vitality."

Before leaving, Eunuch Wei specially inspected the Nantang warehouse accompanied by Xiong Sanba and others. The warehouse was filled with various novel things transported from the West in the past few decades.

He picked the left and the right. Before leaving, Eunuch Wei chose two carts. Among them, there was the Western bell that Matteo Ricci once gave to the current emperor, and the style was exactly the same. There were countless other Western things, and each one was very popular.

Eunuch Wei did not use his power to make private profits, nor did he embezzle or embezzle anything, but gave these things to the royal relatives of the Ming Dynasty so that he could work hard to obtain the official recognition of the missionary power of the Ming Dynasty, and to work hard to be able to agree to the expedition to Japan organized by the Eastern Diocese.

Gifts are the best things that touch people's hearts.
