Daming pirates

So many conditions were placed in front of the Holy See, which made them feel overwhelmed. However, considering that they could open this gap and obtain such an opportunity to preach openly, it was really hard-won for them. After repeated negotiations, the Holy See finally

I had to hold my nose and admit it, and the two parties also signed a written agreement, completely establishing the claim that Sea Wolf is the largest in Sea Wolf's territory.

In the first year of Chongzhen's reign, the Holy See began to send missionaries to Tamsui, Keelung, and Kaohsiung to start building churches. All building materials were purchased locally, and craftsmen had to be hired from Hailang, which was euphemistically called labor service.

Agent! This allowed Sea Wolf to make another huge profit from the Holy See.

In fact, what Yu Xiaotian really needs is the Western cultural system, especially the educational and cultural system that is gradually taking shape, which is currently beyond his reach.

Yu Xiaotian has always had a headache about education. Although he is a product of modern education and knows a lot about modern education, and he also remembers some courses from primary school to university, the problem is that he cannot rely on his own power to do it.

efforts to establish a complete education system.

Moreover, as the boss of an interest group, he can be said to be busy with mundane affairs and does not have enough time to do these things.

For a long time, the school established by Hailang has lacked enough qualified teachers. Although he tried every means to recruit many scholars and filled them into the school to serve as teachers, all of these scholars were cultivated by the old imperial examination system.

The eight-part essay has a certain level, but it is limited to this. At most, it can only teach students literacy and some useful principles of life, but it cannot teach them enough other things.

Therefore, Sea Wolf's schools have always been able to teach only some literacy and literacy, and at best some of the simplest and most basic mathematics, but cannot teach more other subjects.

The students he educates can only take the imperial examination in the future. If this continues, the purpose of building a school will be completely defeated.

But this time, the Catholic Church provided him with a rare way to solve the problem. To be honest, these priests were all devout believers, but in order to better preach, the Holy See asked the missionaries to take several elective courses.

, these missionaries can be said to have their own specialties.

Some people are proficient in physics, some are proficient in natural science, some are proficient in painting, some are proficient in music, and some are specialized in medicine.

The easiest thing for missionaries to impress people is that they often cure diseases and save people to promote their doctrines, which ultimately makes some people feel the so-called greatness of God and finally choose to believe in religion and become believers.

The various sciences that these missionaries are responsible for are undoubtedly what Yu Xiaotian covets most. Although there are still many unscientific things in these emerging disciplines, which can even be said to be in their infancy, after all, they are better than

At present, Ming Dynasty needs more systems.

These are exactly what Yu Xiaotian needs. He does not necessarily require all students to learn these things, but he hopes that through the scientific knowledge taught to them by these missionaries, he can open a path to science for them, and in his

The controlled soil takes root and sprouts, and eventually grows vigorously.

Maybe the vast majority of his students will not become talented, but as long as a very small number of them can finally choose a subject to study, study it, and finally achieve success in their studies and specialize in skills, then he will have completely made money.

What he built is an education system, rather than teaching students one or two things. As long as this education system is established and improved in the future, sooner or later, he believes that based on the education system he established, he can develop

Various dazzling technological flowers emerge.

At present, it seems that the easiest way is to introduce these missionaries to act as free teachers for him and squeeze out as much as possible from what they have learned. He even does not hesitate to make exceptions and arrange some smart children to be assigned to those missionaries so that they can

They act as students of the missionaries and concentrate on learning what each missionary has learned.

This made the missionaries very satisfied. Although they were quite dissatisfied with the various rules set by Sea Wolf before arriving on Taiwan Island, especially in their view, they were not allowed to preach any theology or doctrine in the school.

It is the most unacceptable, but in order to seize this rare opportunity, the Holy See has clearly ordered them to abide by the various rules set by the Sea Wolf here.

But after they arrived at Sea Wolf, they were allowed to choose five to ten students with excellent academic performance and who liked what they taught as their personal students and study with them.

, which gave them a glimmer of hope.

Since doctrines and theology cannot be openly spread in schools, these intelligent students with excellent qualifications selected by them can stay with them and receive their education for a long time, so that they can subtly

Usually, some teachings are spread to these students to develop them into believers, which is equivalent to giving them an extra opportunity out of thin air.

Therefore, the work enthusiasm of these missionaries is quite high, and the results obtained are also quite "rich". In just two years, they have developed nearly a thousand believers all over Taiwan Island, which is different from those who are struggling in the mainland.

Compared with missionaries, this is undoubtedly a huge progress.

Although the vast majority of these believers are old, weak, women and children, and some are even reformed natives, there have not been many believers in the Sea Wolf Group, and they do not have the ability to influence the Sea Wolf Group at all.

However, even so, the senior leaders of the church were delighted, and even invested a lot of manpower, material and financial resources into Taiwan Island, and tried every means to make good friends with the Sea Wolf Group.

The Holy See still has considerable influence in Europe. They influence the politics of many European countries, and can even be said to influence the decision-making of some countries. At least for the Portuguese, the Holy See has a strong influence.

Under the influence of the Macau church, the Portuguese in Macau have also established deeper cooperation with Sea Wolf. On the one hand, they can obtain more valuable Chinese commodities from Sea Wolf, and on the other hand, they can also sell them to Sea Wolf.

If the wolf has something more, it can be said to be a happy outcome for both parties.

And what makes the Portuguese feel gratified is that during their contacts with the senior management of Sea Wolf, they did not find out that Sea Wolf has any covetousness towards them, especially if they have any ideas about defrauding them of Macau. This makes the Portuguese in Macau very happy.

Don't worry, because now the sea wolf has become a force that can threaten their survival here. If the sea wolf is hostile to them, then they have to stay vigilant against the sea wolf.

After all, the Sea Wolf has now beaten up the Spaniards and the Dutch, and even dealt with the Dutch. Now even Damuan Port has to pay the Sea Wolf in the name of leasing, and the Sea Wolf can do it at any time

To expel them, even if they build castles and forts in Taiyuan Port, they must obtain the consent of Sea Wolf before they can be implemented.

Therefore, the Portuguese people's worries are justified to a certain extent, but after many years of interacting with Hailang, they found that this worry was a bit unnecessary. Yu Hailang seemed to be very happy to see it happen, watching them settle in Macau.

place, and has always maintained a certain trade volume with them, which makes the Portuguese people feel more at ease with Sea Wolf. Often when Sea Wolf puts forward some purchasing requirements to them, the Portuguese will often try their best to meet Sea Wolf's requirements.

In the past few years, the Portuguese have obtained oil for Sea Wolf many times. Although they don't know what Sea Wolf does with the oil, they will find ways to get it for Sea Wolf whenever it needs it. In addition, they also get it from Indian fruits.

A large amount of Indian cotton cloth and Indian cotton collected by Ah Chi were also transported to Sea Wolf. Even the black-skinned monkey slaves from Annan were transported by the Portuguese in ships to Sea Wolf. Of course, a large number of them were also shipped.

A large amount of rice from Annan was transported and dumped to Sea Wolf.

Seawolves are now developing Taiwan Island on a large scale. The work of opening up wasteland and transforming the living environment requires a large amount of cheap labor. This has made it difficult for the Portuguese, Spanish and even the Dutch, even those who have not yet controlled many colonies in Asia.

The British have discovered huge business opportunities.

Sea Wolf has been buying black-skinned monkeys from pirates for years, and now it has become a huge commercial market. Every year, many pirates try to capture the black-skinned monkeys and transport them to Taiwan.

sea ​​wolf.

Now that these Europeans have discovered this business opportunity, they will naturally not miss this opportunity. In the colonies they occupy, there are many unobedient natives. Usually these natives are not paid attention to, but now someone wants these native slaves.

, of course they would be happy to exchange these natives for some money or goods.

Therefore, in the past two years, even the Spanish and Dutch have begun the business of transporting slaves to Taiwan Island. During this period, the Dutch, Spanish and Portuguese even proposed that if the Sea Wolf needed it, they could also send slaves from

Africa transported some black slaves to Sea Wolves, because in their opinion, these black slaves are more hardworking, better in physical fitness, and more adaptable than the black-skinned monkeys in Southeast Asia.

But Yu Xiaotian wasn't too interested in this, and just asked them to each transport a small group of black slaves as a token, the total number of which was probably less than a thousand.

Each of these black slaves was very strong and taller than ordinary men from the Ming Dynasty. They had all been trained by slave traders and were very obedient.

Although Yu Xiaotian didn't like doing this kind of thing, after seeing these black slaves, he decided to keep them, but he did not treat them like the black-skinned monkey natives of Southeast Asia.

Got good treatment.
