~.-~  >After leaving Tian Mansion, Shang Yi and Ye Yao-kun took action separately. Ye Yao-kun was going to the palace to say goodbye to Queen Zhou and Zhu Ma. Shang Yi first rushed to the military camp outside the city because he was about to leave early tomorrow morning and had to see how he prepared.

Since Shang Yi was released from prison, Zhou Shaohuan and Tong Dayong remained in the military camp. Although this trip to Beijing suffered some risks, they had gained a lot. They obtained more than 3,000 muskets, twenty-eight cannons, and more than 10,000 kilograms of gunpowder raw materials.

Fortunately, when Shang Yi came to Beijing, he brought a lot of things and there were still many vehicles. In addition to the necessary food and supplies, a total of fifteen large trucks were freed up. Each cannon had a matching cannon truck, and ten more large trucks were bought in Beijing, so he finally put everything out. Chapter 202 Night Run (Part 1) ((14:14). Although there were not enough horses after pulling the cart, the two scout platoons were equipped with war horses. They called all the war horses of a reconnaissance platoon and got them all together.

Shang Yi came to the camp and checked all the packaged vehicles and artillery, and basically prepared them. Shang Yi was relieved.

After returning to the city, Shang Yi came to Joshua Tsang's church again, said goodbye to Joshua Tsang, and informed them that they would set out tomorrow.

At this time, Johnson Chan had already reported to Long Huamin, the current president of the Catholic Jesuit China Missionary District. After learning the news, Long Huamin was very happy and immediately discussed with Johnson Chan and decided to appoint Aconia as the branch president of the East China sub-province of China. He had full responsibility for handling his relationship with Shang Yi, and sent three Portuguese priests, Fu Fanji, Yangmano and Guo Najue to assist Aconia in his work, and also sent two Chinese believers, Li Lin and Ma De.

And at the request of Shang Yi, Chau Wang prepared a batch of books he compiled, translated and edited.

In another time and space, Johnson Chan came to China for 40 years to preach, spanning two periods of Ming and Qing. He not only had a pious belief in Catholicism, but also had a very profound scientific knowledge and outstanding talent. He also participated in the compilation and translation of a large number of scientific works on astronomy, physics, gunpowder, etc. Among them, the compilation included: 137 volumes of "Chongzhen Calendar", 2 volumes of "Fire Attack" and 1 volume of "Fire Attack" and 1 volume of "The Secret of Fire Attack". The translation of scientific works include: "Theory of the Telescope", "Kun Yu Gezhi", 1 volume of "The Western Biography of the Calendar", "New Laws and Differentiation", etc. The compilation of other missionaries included "Proportional Rules", "Comprehensive Meaning of Measurement", "Planning", etc.

However, these works by Joshua Wong were basically completed during the Ming Dynasty. By the Qing Dynasty, Joshua Wong basically had no decent writings. However, in the first year of Shunzhi (1644), the "Chongzhen Calendar" was compressed into 103 volumes of the "New Western Calendar" and presented to the then regent Dorgon, who was named Shaoqing of Taichang Temple.

On the one hand, it is because the ideological ban of the Qing Dynasty was much stricter than that of the Ming Dynasty, and on the other hand, it is because Johnson Chan left Europe for nearly thirty years and knew nothing about the new scientific achievements made by Europe, and basically used up all the goods in his stomach.

Among them, "Theory of Telescope" is a book about optical principles of Galileo telescopes in detail in terms of principles, structural functions and usage methods; while "The Essence of Fire Attack" and "The Essence of Fire Attack" are works introducing Western musket artillery technology, recording the principles and technologies related to artillery, musket casting, manufacturing, storage, transportation, release, gunpowder preparation, and shell manufacturing.

The most regrettable thing is "Kun Yu Gezhi", which is compiled based on the 16th-century masterpiece "The Complete Book of Mining and Metallurgical" written by German mining and metallurgical scientist Agricola, a masterpiece about European mining and metallurgical technology in the 16th century, involving each stage of mining and related metallurgical processes. Its content includes mine management, mining principles, exploration technology, mining technology, mining tools and equipment, ore inspection methods, ore smelting methods, precious metals and non-metal separation methods, etc. It is a pity that because the Ming Dynasty collapsed rapidly, the book was not published and was lost in the complex wars in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.

At the same time, Johnson Chan also prepared six monocular telescopes and three sextant instruments, which were also what Shang Yi needed.

Although Long Huamin did not agree with Joshua Tsang's practice of using scientific knowledge as a breakthrough in exchange for the trust of the Chinese people, after the "Nanjing Lesson Plan", Long Huamin's reputation in the Chinese church decreased a lot. Joshua Tsang's influence in the Ming Dynasty far exceeded that of Long Huamin. He was powerless to stop Joshua Tsang's behavior, and these were required by Shang Yi, so he could only make accusations.

After Shang Yi arrived at the church, out of etiquette and reality, Long Huamin also warmly welcomed Shang Yi and asked several priests who were walking with Shang Yi to meet Shang Yi. At the same time, he also agreed that the two sides would meet in front of Chongwen Gate for the fifth day of tomorrow morning and then leave the city together.

After seeing the items and books that Johannson had prepared for him, Shang Yi was also very happy. He firmly believed in modern theories such as "knowledge is power" and "science and technology are the primary productive force". Therefore, for Shang Yi, these books that introduced advanced scientific knowledge in Europe at that time were definitely an immeasurable wealth. And this is the purpose of making friends with Johannson.

Then Shang Yi stayed in the church and had dinner with them. Before dinner, Johnson Chan held a special mass for Shang Yi, which obviously regarded Shang Yi as a believer who was unbaptized.

After leaving the church, Shang Yi rushed back to the inn. It was late at night. There were few pedestrians on the street. When he returned to the entrance of the inn, Cheng Gang was on duty in front of the gate. After the palace rescue, the Jinyiwei searched for the remnants of the Xuanhuang Sect all over the city. Therefore, Shang Yi also strengthened the vigilance of the inn. Five liners took turns to carry out guard duty on duty, day and night.

Shang Yi entered the gate and returned to his room. He saw Ye Yaoyun sitting under the lamp reading a book. Shang Yi said, "Yaoyun, why haven't you rested yet? You have to get up early tomorrow to go to bed early."

Ye Yaoying put down the book in her hand and said: There is still something else, brother, let’s wash it first! The water is boiled for you, and it’s in the kitchen.”

Shang Yi didn't ask much, and came to the kitchen to fetch water to wash his face and feet. After all, he returned to the room and saw Ye Yaoying still reading a book. Shang Yi couldn't help asking, "Yaoying, what else is there? Isn't rest yet?"

Ye Yaoying smiled slightly and said: I'm still waiting for someone!"

Shang Yi was very surprised and said, "Waiting for someone? Who are you waiting for?"

Ye Yao-Ying was about to answer, but at this time, there was a sound of footsteps in the yard, and then someone knocked on the door. Ye Yao-Ying got up and opened the door, and saw Duan Peng standing outside the door. When he saw Ye Yao-Ying open the door, Duan Peng said, "Sisters-in-law have brought the person."

Ye Yaoying said: "Okay, come in! You can go and rest."

Duan Peng agreed and turned around and said, "Please come in!"

Shang Yi had not understood what was going on, but saw a figure entering the house with a sutra. Then Ye Yaoying closed the door again. The man who came in brought a hat and a green curtain lowered, covering his face. However, although her whole body was covered by a wide robe, Shang Yi could still see that this was a woman.

Shang Yi was wondering, who is this woman? Why did she come to find her late at night? She was so sneaky, even Ye Yaoying was mysterious. At this time, she saw that she had taken off her headband's hat and showed a beautiful face. It was Chen Yuanyuan.

Shang Yi was stunned for a moment, feeling like he was drooping in the clouds, and said, "Miss Chen, you..."

At this time, Chen Yuanyuan took two steps forward, knelt in front of Shang Yi, and said, "The general knows about the daytime affairs. Mr. Tian gave me my father-in-law to General Wu, but I was unwilling to follow General Wu, so I escaped from Mr. Tian's mansion tonight, just to ask the Lord to take me in." As he said that, he cried with a "Yingying" look.

Shang Yi was also startled and said, "Did you escape?"

Chen Yuanyuan looked up at Shang Yi, tears shining brightly, and cried, "General Shang, I know that my status is low and I dare not ask for the general's love. I just want to stay with the general forever and serve the general for the rest of my life. If the general does not take me in, I will have no other way."

This passage is like Shang Yi's confession, and Shang Yi couldn't help but be stunned. When did Chen Yuanyuan like him? Was he in a small mountain village or after he was enfeoffed in Beijing? But he immediately thought of another question: If Chen Yuanyuan followed him, what would Wu Sangui do? Will he still lead the Qing army into the pass a year later like another time and space?

At this time, Ye Yaoyan walked over and helped Chen Yuanyuan up from the ground, and said, "Sister Chen, what are you doing? Get up quickly. Since Sister Chen took such a risk to join her husband, how could she turn her back?" She turned to Shang Yi and said, "My husband, you also say something! You can't be foolish when you like it."

When Chen Yuanyuan heard Ye Yaoyan's words with some joking words, her face turned red and she lowered her head slightly, but she had a different charming and charming look in her expression.

Shang Yi finally came to his senses and basically understood what happened. It was probably because Ye Yao-Yuan was also involved. The matter was probably planned by Ye Yao-Yuan when he was at the banquet in the daytime, when Ye Yao-Yuan and Chen Yuanyuan had a private conversation. It was probably because they started to make this premeditation with the scriptures when Chen Yuanyuan and Tian Jingui came to the inn to invite him.

However, if Shang Yi is not moved by Chen Yuanyuan, it must be a lie. Facing such a stunning beauty, who can't be moved? And he will come to the door on his own initiative. Moreover, even Ye Yaoying accepted Chen Yuanyuan with the scriptures, and seemed to help her escape at night. In other words, even the wife of the big house agreed. In this case, she certainly could not push her out again. So as to whether Wu Sangui's historical classic story of "fighting the crown and being angry for beauty" will happen in the future, it is not within Shang Yi's consideration. Anyway, I'll take one step at a time, and I'll talk about it later. x
