Chapter 365 Understand
When he saw Ying Yi, Ruowang took a deep breath.
It's not easy. It's been nearly two years since the destruction of the Ming Dynasty. He always wanted to meet Ying Yi, and he finally met him today.
This is not the first time that Johnson Chan saw Ying Yi—at least the third time. It was once when Ying Yi entered the capital, and once when he founded the country to sacrifice to the sky, the chariot of the Nine Five.
But that is all far away, never as close as today.
The moment Ying Yi turned out from the back hall, Joshua Thanh deeply felt the majesty of the emperor who dominated the area and population far exceeds the entire land of China in Europe.
At that moment, his heart was trembling. For no reason, it seemed that the whole world was putting pressure on him, and the air was frozen. His heart suddenly tightened, and he felt a layer of goose bumps all over his body, as if he had suddenly encountered an irresistible natural enemy!
My mind was blank and I couldn't speak at all.
He just kept a confused and worshipped with the Lord Song.
He raised his head and met his deep eyes, as if he had seen the sun hanging from the sky, so sacred and unaware of direct view!
"Lord, is this a god..." A moaned in Joshua Tsang's heart.
He and Aruluo lowered their heads deeply, trembling all over, silently accusing their Lord of sin and praying for the Lord's forgiveness.
There is only one God between heaven and earth, and that is their Lord. How could there be other Gods? That is heresy!
However, they were all in and out, as if all their thoughts and thoughts were exposed under those eyes without any restraint, and they were so at a loss.
Ying Yi was wearing a regular dress, and the mystery of black background and gold-edged cloud patterns set off his tough and magnificent body. He sat upright on the dragon chaise behind the desk, and he said lightly: "Let's flat."
Then he said, "Give a seat." This was what the female official was waiting on the side.
Song Yingxing bowed and said, "Thank you Your Majesty."
He also said: "Your Majesty, these two are the Thai missionaries Joshua Thon and Ai Julius."
Ying Yi nodded slightly: "Is it a Catholic believer who believes in the so-called Lord in the land of Taisie?"
Song Yingxing said: "Your Majesty is wise."
On the side, Tang Ruowang couldn't hold back and stood up and bowed, "The Son of Great Xia is above. The Lord we believe in is the omniscient and omnipotent God, the only God in the world. Your Majesty's word "so-called" is not appropriate."
Johnson Tang can be said to be an old man. He has been in China for twenty years and has learned Chinese characters, Chinese, Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism, and even knows many folk customs on this land. He can easily hear Ying Yi's contempt and rejection of their Lord in his words.
Ying Yi did not think it was offended when he heard this, and said, "You said that your Lord is omniscient and omnipotent, and is the only God in the world. So, as servants of your Lord, you have traveled thousands of miles to my Great Xia Empire?"
He also said, "I have heard of you many times. Many ministers have recommended me. But you still haven't seen me. Your Lord, the only true God, why don't you oracle me to let me see you?"
"This..." John Chok suddenly stopped and hurriedly said, "As the Lord's servant, spread the Lord's gospel all over the world. If Your Majesty believes in our Lord, there will naturally be an oracle."
Ying Yi laughed and waved his hand and said, "Forget it. I don't have time to talk to you about your Lord. Tang Ruowang and Ai Ruluo, I have a few questions to ask you."
Joshua Chan and his wife immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said in unison: "Please tell me your Majesty."
Ying Yi nodded: "The Ming court in the previous dynasty was entangled in internal disputes, and was restrained by the Eastern Captains. He had no time to look south, and had no energy to take care of Taixi. I wiped out the world and destroyed the barbarians. The new establishment of Daxia could not keep his ears and eyes closed like the previous dynasty. But I don't know what the situation of the European countries in Taixi is now?"
Johnson Chan and Ai Ruluo looked at each other, knowing that if they could not gain the favor of the master in front of them, their decades of efforts would be wasted.
So Ying Yi asked, Johnson Chan and Ai Ruluo answered, and it took more than an hour to pass.
Ying Yi suddenly remembered that he wanted to meet these missionaries. The biggest reason was not because of their omniscient and omnipotent Lord, but because Ying Yi wanted to understand the current situation of the Europause and the West.
From these two people, Ying Yi listened and confirmed the fragments in his memory, and finally got a general understanding of the current situation in the world.
About nearly a hundred years ago, during the Ming Dynasty, the European countries embarked on a magnificent world voyage.
The first to come to the East was Portugal. In the early years, many areas such as the Nanyang and were colonies of the Portuguese. However, the benefits gained by the Portuguese from the voyage did not become the resource for the development and growth of their country, and were squandered by the nobles.
By the previous dynasty, during the Tianqi period, Spain rose, and their invincible fleets spread across the world, replacing most of Portugal's interests overseas.
Even though Spain's Invincible Armada was defeated by Great Britain, they were still the most powerful country in Europa at that time.
The interests of overseas colonization were jealous, and then the Netherlands followed closely. Over the past few decades, the Netherlands became a sea coachman, gradually overwhelming Spain.
Ying Yi carefully inquired about the current situation in Nanyang, and the two missionaries could tell everything.
As for the current Nanyang, the power of Spain and the Netherlands is about half the size. Portugal has become so weak that it is only Luzon.
It is said that Daxia has had direct intersections with two of the forces. When the Jiangnan Naval War Zone recovered Taiwan, it fought a battle with the Dutch. When the Jiangnan Army War Zone recovered Macau, it also expelled the Portuguese.
Even Spain has not had direct intersection yet, but the Daxia Navy blocked the Daxia waters, which has had a great impact on Spain's colonial trade.
As a great power with the largest area, the largest population, and the influence of the entire East, any action of the Daxia Empire would have a huge impact on the surrounding areas. The colonists of Taixi said that they would talk about Japanese Japanese because of the blockade of the Daxia Navy.
Through this conversation, Ying Yi became more aware of the purpose of the missionary - not only because of the issue of missionary, but also because the Daxia Navy blocked the seas, which had a great impact on the colonists in the South China Sea.
Before the establishment of Daxia, the Netherlands, Spain and Portugal regarded the waters of China as back gardens, and traded with smugglers on the southeast coast at will, and traded with Japan and Japan. But now it is impossible.
However, they had no choice. Facing the indigenous people of the South Ocean, the Taixi Yi swept across with their warships and firearms, but facing the army of the Daxia Empire, they had no chance of winning. Otherwise, they would have fought long ago.
In Macau, Taiwan, Portugal and the Netherlands have suffered great losses. Therefore, they hope to solve this problem through non-war means.
