Please ask me to be the emperor

"Mr. Wei, I have a question to ask!" After Zhang Shun made a bold guess, he quickly summoned Wei Wenkui for consultation.

"Your Majesty, please speak!" Wei Wenkui quickly saluted and replied with some confusion in his heart.

It's almost dark. Why did Your Majesty summon me here so late?

"A few days ago, I heard my husband talk about the theories of Zhou Shuxue and Xing Yunlu, and I was quite shocked." Zhang Shunzao couldn't hold himself back and said quickly.

"Just in the past two days, I suddenly thought of a question. Although the five stars of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth revolve around the sun, what about the earth? What is the situation on the earth?"

"Your Majesty is indeed extremely talented!" Wei Wenkui couldn't help but look at Zhang Shun in admiration after hearing this, and couldn't help but half-jokingly said, "If Your Majesty hadn't been the Supreme Ninth Five, ordinary people would have been tempted to accept Your Majesty as a closed disciple! "

After finishing speaking, he couldn't help but laugh at himself, and continued: "According to Zhou Shuxue's point of view, the sun is the king, the moon is the queen, and they all move around the earth, and the five stars of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth also move around the sun. .”

"When I got to Xingyun Road, my perspective changed again."

"He believes that 'the sun is the origin of all things', and that is why 'the movement of the stars and the moon is all connected by the energy of the sun'!"

"In other words, due to the 'sun-qi connection', even the earth has to revolve around the sun!"

"Okay!" Zhang Shun couldn't help but stand up after hearing this.

Sure enough, Zhou Shuxue's point of view is the "Tychonic system", while Xing Yunlu's point of view is the "Copernican system".

However, when Zhang Shun thought of this, he couldn't help but have another doubt in his heart.

He couldn't help but laugh and asked: "I wonder what your views are, sir?"

"Cao Min and Xing Yunlu are both teachers and friends. Naturally, they believe that due to the 'connection between the sun and the energy', both the five stars and the earth revolve around the sun!"

"Oh?" Zhang Shun couldn't help but feel even more confused when he heard this.

Even if you agree with the "Copernican System", there is no need to be on the same page as the missionaries who agree with the "Tychonic System", right?

As soon as he thought about this, he couldn't help but ask: "Since Mr. also agrees with 'Western Fa', why does he have such a bad relationship with the missionaries and others?"

"I agree with 'Western Fa'? Where do you start talking about this?" Wei Wenkui heard this and Monk Zhang Er was confused.

"Oh, isn't it that you agree with Xing Yunlu's point of view, and the missionary agrees with Zhou Shuxue's point of view?" Zhang Shun was even more surprised when he heard this.

"Where did your Majesty hear these words from?" As soon as Zhang Shun finished speaking, Wei Wenkui was even more surprised than Zhang Shun.

"Although Zhou Shuxue and Xing Yunlu have different views, they are also very similar. They are both Chinese methods, so what's the difference?"

"If we look into it carefully, Ge Chengke only holds Zhou Shuxue's point of view, and I only hold Xing Yunlu's point of view."

"As for his so-called 'Western method', which is 'the same as Hui Hui but more sophisticated', there is nothing surprising except that!"

Sure enough, Zhang Shun suddenly realized when he heard this.

Why did Chongzhen divide Qin Tianjian, Wei Wenkui and missionaries into three families and let each other check their calculations multiple times.

The fundamental reason is that the fundamental principles of the three calendars are different. One holds the "Tychonic method", one holds the "Copernican method", and the other holds the "Ptolemaic method".

Since the "Chongzhen Almanac" presented by the missionaries was based on the Tycho system and took into account both the Ptolemaic system and the Copernican system, Zhang Shun once thought that the missionaries were adhering to the Tycho system.

Of course, when Zhang Shun confirmed that Wei Wenkui adhered to the "Copernican system", he immediately understood that the missionaries could not adhere to the Tycho system.

Because before the arrival of Western missionaries, Chinese astronomers made little progress in the study of "Hijri".

Even a genius like Tang Shunzhi could only deduce a rough idea, but there were also many fallacies.

To put it bluntly, traditional Chinese astronomers of this era have not yet mastered the Ptolemaic system, and naturally they cannot uphold the views of the Ptolemaic system.

It is precisely because of this that the so-called "New Almanac Law" that the missionaries deleted based on the "Chongzhen Almanac" did not dare to explain what views the three parties held. Instead, they claimed that the "Tychonic Law", "Copernican Law" and "Ptolemaic Law" "Dharma" are all new laws brought by missionaries.

Naturally, the "Chongzhen Almanac" could only be compiled by Christian Xu Guangqi, with the participation of missionaries Long Huamin, Luo Yagu, Deng Yuhan, Tang Ruowang and others.

If it were left to his previous life, Zhang Shun would naturally have no doubt about this.

However, in this life, Zhang Shun will naturally not believe other people's words, let alone underestimate any "project".

A project as huge as the compilation of the 137-volume "Chongzhen Almanac" is a huge project no matter what dynasty or generation it is.

Just Xu Guangqi and a few missionaries could complete it in just five years. Isn’t this a fantasy?

During this process, a large amount of manpower and material resources must be mobilized, and these manpower and material resources naturally need to master a large number of new concepts and algorithms before they can be communicated to the higher and lower levels.

However, Zhang Shun did not see any relevant training records in the Ming Dynasty archives, which further illustrates that the "Chongzhen Almanac" was most likely led by Qin Tianjian, and partially absorbed the almanacs of Wei Wenkui and "Western France".

However, the missionaries tried to take advantage of God's merits, confuse right and wrong, and in turn slander the Chinese calendar.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shun couldn't help but laugh and asked: "Then the "Chongzhen Almanac" was compiled by the Western Bureau alone?"

"Why did your Majesty say this?" Wei Wenkui became more and more puzzled when he heard this, "Although the last emperor of the previous dynasty set up three games, one was divided into three, and the family was short."

"However, the cultivation of the calendar is a major matter for the country, so it is natural for the three families to jointly cultivate it."

"After several battles, Qin Tianjian is now the leader, followed by others!"

It turns out that although Qin Tianjian was not as good as Wei Wenkui in holding opinions, he still had extraordinary manpower and material resources.

In the continuous competition between the three parties, although Wei Wenkui had some bright spots, he also made major mistakes.

The algorithms of Xu Guangqi, Preacher and others were not as good as Wei Wenkui, and they also made major mistakes.

After several contests like this, the Qintianjian side, whose calculation results were more stable and had fewer errors, naturally gained the upper hand.

Since then, the so-called "Tychonic system" has naturally occupied a dominant position in the "Chongzhen Almanac", while the "Copernican system" and "Ptolemaic system" have been relegated to a secondary position.

However, precisely because of this incident, Zhang Shun suddenly became vigilant.

Since the "Zhou Shuxue System" and the "Xingyunlu System" can become the "Tychonic System" and the "Copernican System", how many things in traditional China have been "stolen" by these people?

Thinking of this, Zhang Shun couldn't help but sneered: "Mr. Wei must be wondering why he asked so many strange questions today?"

"But yesterday, the missionary told me that Xing Yunlu's theory was transmitted by Copernicus in the Far West, and Zhou Shuxue's theory was transmitted by Tycho in the Far West."

"He also deleted the "Chongzhen Almanac" and claimed that it was a new Western law. Sir, please be careful!"

"Ah, there are such shameless people in the world!" Wei Wenkui was shocked when he heard this and couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty, please drive away all the people from the Far West to protect our Chinese heritage!"

No matter how much he imagined, he could never imagine that such a person existed in the world!

"That's it, that's it!" Unexpectedly, Zhang Shun shook his head and said with a smile, "Although the Far Westerners 'stole' my calendar, didn't I also 'steal' the method of going back and forth?"

"In general, people in the world will prosper if they learn from others' strengths, but they will decline if they work behind closed doors."

"That missionary has traveled all over the world and gathered all the best in the world. I don't know how many good things he has hidden. I still expect my husband and others to 'steal' them one by one for me. How can I stop eating because of choking?"

"Moreover, I have ambitions for the world and want to build large-scale sea ships to connect the four seas. When the time comes, my husband and others will be indispensable for their support!"

"Your Majesty is very generous and magnanimous, but I am so narrow-minded!" Wei Wenkui was stunned when he heard this and couldn't help but bow to Zhang Shunyi deeply.

In fact, Wei Wenkui didn't know that Zhang Shun was thinking more at this time.

In its original history, Europe absorbed countless advanced knowledge and theories from all over the world through the Age of Great Navigation, and eventually turned them into its own, and then developed a developed modern scientific civilization.

If you look at it from this perspective, what does it matter whether you steal or not?

However, if someone rises to the level of racial superiority and human contribution, then he will naturally have to clear up the source.

Whose contribution is due is his contribution. No one can steal the sky and change it for the sun, and take the merits of the sky for one's own benefit.

Thinking about it, he smiled again.

Since ancient times, you can only commit a thief in a thousand days, but there is no reason to guard against a thief in a thousand days.

Instead of guarding against others, it is better to let others guard against you.

After all, we have to build our own big ships and swim the oceans to connect the four seas. Only in this way can a country and a nation not fall behind others.

The author is not a pseudo-historian, nor does he disdain to "crack down on fakes." But when I was checking some details and preparing to write them out as usual, I discovered something strange. Apart from the missionaries' own words, it is surprisingly difficult to find information on the participants at the time, Qin Tian Jian Zheng Ge Chengke and Wei Wenkui.

There is a saying in history that "when there is evil, there must be a ghost." In fact, the same is true when it comes to querying historical materials. For example, Zhang Daojun is a typical example. In the history of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Daojun's story ended abruptly, leaving people confused. Later, it was discovered that Zhang Daojun "died in the Northern Army" at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

The same is true for Wei Wenkui. As soon as the author saw that he couldn't find any information, he felt that there was something wrong with it and couldn't help but dig deeper. It doesn't matter if you dig it, but you will dig a "hole" out.

In most materials, Wei Wenkui is often described as a clown-like "civilian" who challenges "Western law" beyond his own capabilities. However, after the author conducted an in-depth search, he found that the opposite was true. This Wei Wenkui not only had the upper hand in the competition with Qin Tianjian and Xifa, but also passed it down from Zhou Shuxue and Xing Yunlu, and then passed it on to Xue Fengzuo, an astronomer in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.

This inheritance is clear. Among them, Zhou Shuxue holds "Tycho's theory", Xing Yunlu and Xue Fengzuo hold "Copernicus' theory", Wei Wenkui alone cannot find any, but it can also be inferred that they hold "Copernicus' theory".

So the question is, why Wei Wenkui? Because only by eliminating him can the position of missionaries in the three debates be blurred, and similar views of Chinese scholars be said to be influenced by missionaries. Because Wei Wenkui was against "Western France"
