Chapter 864 is gold, it will shine wherever it goes

"Mr. John thinks it's hard to understand?" Wu Zheng smiled, "It's actually very simple. The Qing court can get whatever I want. If I don't want to sell, then the Qing court will not get it. Of course, Mr. John's help is indispensable."

This means that if it is really done according to Wu Zheng’s intention, the Northern Expedition Army will have a way to restrain itself from weapons alone.

"No, no." Chau Wang screamed, "This is betrayal, I cannot do this. Manchus will kill me, and even the northern church members will suffer from this and harm their lives... No, no, merciful God, I will never agree!"

"Betray?" Wu Zheng sneered, "You are just a missionary in a foreign country. Who are you loyal to? Manchus? No, you should be loyal to the Roman Catholic Church, you should be loyal to the Heavenly Father, and you should be loyal to civilization. Now that civilization is invaded by barbarism, you cannot choose to serve the Qing court before, so you may be forgiven, but now you have room for choice. If you hesitate, it is a real betrayal."

"But I am an official of the Qing court... No, this is too terrible."

Wu Zheng waved his hand indifferently and said, "Of course, you have the freedom to choose, but what I want to tell you is that you are not the only spokesperson in the Ming Dynasty. I can suggest that the Holy See change the Holy See. With the past few years of transactions with the Holy See, I believe that the Holy See will not have a feud with me because of Mr. John. In other words, Mr. John's missionary career in the East may end here."

Johnson Chan no longer had the calmness of coming in. He originally thought that he was just a young nobleman in front of him, but he didn't expect that he was a "devil" who could devour people's hearts.

Johnson Chan knew that Wu Zheng could do it, and he could do it.

As long as he advises the Holy See, he is likely to be replaced, and he does not even need to send people from the West to replace him, because the Holy See has at least 100 missionaries in the East.

Chau Wang looked at Wu Zheng with a complicated look, but he just didn't say anything, and he fell silent.

Wu Zheng smiled and said, "Dark will be dispelled by light, and civilization will eventually overcome barbarism. When the Han people regain control of the world, the glory of God will spread throughout China, and Mr. John will be one in the north and the other in the south... What does Mr. John think?"

On such a vast land, even if it is divided into north and south, it is a temptation that Johnson Chan could not refuse.

Dorgon was highly valued by Dorgon by offering new geographic screen maps, armillary spheres, earth sundials, telescopes and other instruments to Dorgon, but the Qing court still disagrees with the spread of Catholicism.

Compared with the process of Wei Kuang Kingdom in the south, Joshua Chan felt a little ashamed.

He made a decision.

Carrots and sticks are the easiest and most effective ways to reason.

Joshua Tsang bowed and said, "Joe Chan, I am willing to cooperate with the Prince."

....

From Tang Ruowang's mouth, Wu Zheng learned that the Qing court had valued Shen Zhiyuan and Qian Qiaogong.

I learned that the Qing court purchased these firearms for the two to train the new army of muskets.

It was also learned that Xiao Fulin actually gave the two marriages to win over the hearts of these two people.

Tang Ruowang said: "Shen Zhiyuan and Qian Qiaogong must be the detailed work sent by the Prince to the Qing court, right?"

Wu Zheng was stunned and said, "No, I don't know that Shen Zhiyuan and Qian Qiaogong will suddenly surrender to the Qing Dynasty."

Johnson Tang shook his head and said, "You can't hide it from others, especially Dorgon, Hong and Fan."

"Where does this start?"

"The Qing court never really trusted Chen Zhiyuan and Qian Qiaogong, and used them only to train the new musket army. Dorgon privately revealed to the Manchu nobles that the new musket army was trained and its commander could never be a Han person."

Wu Zheng said: "It's not that I want to deceive Mr. John, I really don't know, and I have never secretly ordered Chen Zhiyuan and Qian Qiaogong to surrender... At that time, they were the ones who went north to make their own decisions. Of course, as Mr. John said, I still believe that the two of them were surrendering."

Johnson Tang shook his head and said, "Your Excellency, they are just children. No one can beat Dorgon, Hong and Fan, the two great scholars... Whether they really surrender or falsely surrender, after a period of time, they will surrender, otherwise they will be killed."

Wu Zheng laughed, smiling proudly. He said to Joshua Tsang word by word: "It's gold, it will shine everywhere."

....

In the prison of the government office.

Wu Zheng stood in front of Sun Zhengqiang.

"You are free." Wu Zheng said happily, "In a few days, you will follow the Qing government's mission north."

Sun Zhengqiang's face was happy and followed by a gloomy.

"Why, unhappy?"

Sun Zhengqiang suddenly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed, "The criminal was not intended to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. It was actually caused by Chen Hongfan. He had no choice but to surrender to the Qing Dynasty... The criminal was always thinking about it, and he asked the prince to allow the criminal to stay in Jiangnan to serve the prince."

Wu Zheng looked down at Sun Zhengqiang and said, "Don't think about being a dog, you are a human being. I don't lack dogs and horses around me, I lack warriors. Now you have a chance to become a warrior, right? Are you willing or not?"

Sun Zhengqiang looked up suddenly and said, "If the prince trusts me, even if I die, I will never let the prince down."

"Not that serious, come on, get up and talk."

When Sun Zhengqiang stood up, Wu Zheng said, "It's actually very simple. If you go back to Beijing, just contact Chen Zhiyuan and Qian Qiaogong, it will be a great achievement."

Sun Zhengqiang said in surprise: "This...is the matter?"

"right."

"What's the difficulty? The criminals will definitely do it."

Wu Zheng shook his hand and said, "There are more and more people who surrender to the Qing Dynasty... Nowadays, there are not many people who claim to be guilty ministers like you, but there will definitely be more and more in the future. From now on, you no longer have to call yourself guilty ministers. You are a secret stake of this king. Get up."

Sun Zhengqiang stood up happily.

"You have to remember that this matter is not as simple as you think." Wu Zheng said in a deep voice, "First of all, you have been captured for many days. When you return to the north, you will definitely be suspicious and distinguished by the Qing court. Therefore, when you have not gained true trust, you must not contact Chen Zhiyuan and Qian Qiaogong. Remember, you would rather miss it than act rashly."

"I'm sure."

"In addition, after you are identified by the Qing court, you will definitely be sent to Jiangnan. Because of this incident, Chen Hongman has been executed. You will be the best candidate for the Qing court to purchase firearms and supplies from the south. Only at this time can you truly eliminate the suspicion of the Qing court and contact Chen Zhiyuan and Qian Qiaogong."

"Yes." Sun Zhengqiang responded, "What do the prince need his subordinates to tell Chen Zhiyuan and Qian Qiaogong?"

Wu Zheng was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Just say, do what he wants, and don't care about Jiangnan."

Sun Zhengqiang was a little stunned. He asked carefully: "Prince... Is there anything else?"
