The Great Ming Dynasty Dominate Overseas

Sun Yuanhua's apartment in Taipei, Sun Yuanhua is receiving a bearded foreigner wearing a Ming Confucian robe with a cross on his chest!

"Father Tang, I am so happy that you can come to see me!" Sun Yuanhua was really happy.

The foreigner has a high nose and deep eyes, and he is wearing Ming Dynasty clothes. His temperament matches the clothes, without any sense of disobedience.

This person was named Tang Ruowang, a devout Catholic Jesuit monk, priest, scholar, and Jesuit missionary of the Holy Roman Empire.

He is a person who cannot be ignored in the history of Sino-Western cultural exchanges, the history of Chinese Christianity and the history of Chinese science and technology. With his pious belief and profound knowledge, he established his important position in the history of cultural exchanges between China and the West. He is one of the most important Jesuits after Matteo Ricci came to China.

He joined the Society of Jesuits and swore lifelong poverty, chastity, and obedience. As a young man, he was a trainee monk at the San Andreo Monastery of **** in Rome and received strict monk training.

There is a library in the Andreo Monastery, which contains many printed and bound annual reports, reports, and letters from overseas Jesuits to the General Conference.

Tang Ruowang often went to the library to read these materials. The great achievements of early missionaries in the East in China made him excited. He admired Matteo Ricci's so-called "combined Confucianism" missionary strategy that was adapted to Chinese culture and customs, and tried his best to integrate Catholicism with Chinese Confucian culture. (Fr. Xiangtang dressed in Chinese costume is one of them)

When he heard that Father Matteo Ricci’s wisdom in mathematics and astronomy had shocked the Chinese, and that he was honored and respected by the emperor, and opened up a new and very large field of faith for the Church of God. Mathematical astronomy is ecstatic to obtain such value in China.

This also became the source of his thoughts when he arrived in China and spread the Lord's gospel. After that, he went through hardships and arrived in China, using Western science and technology to actively preach.

If history is not reversed by Yan Dashao, this Father Tang will be Sun Yuanhua’s see-off. Sun Yuanhua had a tragic end due to Kong Youde’s "Wuqiao Mutiny". The court cut him off and Xu Guangqi could not rescue him. Tang Ruowang disguised himself as sending charcoal workers into the court. The imprisonment saw Sun Yuanhua off and performed a religious ceremony to send him into the embrace of the Lord!

What an elephant now, the two can sit and drink tea peacefully and watch the waterscape under the mountain!

Sun Yuanhua’s residence is an "expert building". The Southeast Mansion specially built a residence by the river, allowing them to enjoy a comfortable environment with mountains and rivers!

"I was commissioned by Master Xu to visit you, and Master Xu said, maybe I can create a new situation in Southeast Mansion..." Tang Ruowang spoke in a pure Mandarin.

Sun Yuanhua said: "Master Xu is right. Our warlord respects science and technology and talents!"

He introduced the practice of the Southeast Government, and the scientific and technical personnel and the military are treated equally!

The real name of the Southeast Mansion is "Southeast Military Mansion". A military character indicates that their nature is Songun politics, and soldiers are given priority. The treatment of science and technology talents in Southeast Mansion is even better than that of soldiers. It can be seen from the southeast. The government superintendent attaches importance to scientific and technological talents.

"It seems we do have a lot to do!" Tang Ruowang nodded.

So after Sun Yuanhua confessed his work in the artillery factory, he transferred a clipper to personally accompany Tang Ruowang to Tainan!

The scenery along the way gave Tang Ruowang a real experience: "This is a vigorous regime, and they have more vitality and hope than the mainland!"

"He is a man of real power. He said nothing in the Southeast Mansion. If our faithful can get his support, we will get a new development!" Sun Yuanhua said with a worried expression: "He believes in Mazu, I don't know if he can be in the Southeast Mansion. There is a place for the Lord!"

Tang Ruowang said optimistically: "Everything depends on people, everything depends on hard work!"

With devotion to the Lord and perseverance, he worked hard to spread the Lord's gospel in the unfamiliar East, with a strong will.

The clipper arrived at the Kaohsiung Military Port and was subjected to multiple strict inspections. With Sun Yuanhua’s status as Deputy Minister of Construction, it was unimpeded. The numerous splint boats in the military port gave Tang Ruowang another feeling. Perhaps, with the breakthrough of science and technology, he could be able to Talk to the young ruler and open the door.

His idea is correct.

...

Yan Changwu returned from training after interrupting the sea. A clipper delivered news. Hearing that Sun Yuanhua and a priest named Tang Ruowang had been waiting for him in the Warlord's Mansion for three days, Yan Changwu rushed back to see them.

He is very interested in Father Tang.

At that time, the unscientific priests who believed in the Lord were the spreaders of science and technology. The ordinary Hong Maofan was not familiar with science and technology, and the degree of ignorance was more ignorant than that of the Ming.

In the spacious office of the Warlord’s Mansion, Yan Changwu met Father Tang and Sun Yuanhua, and they had a great conversation!

Tang Ruowang has a good knowledge of astronomy, geography, and is familiar with Chinese classics. He has a wide range of knowledge and education. He wisely sends books on mathematics, chemistry, physics, astronomy, philosophy, classical literature, theology and other books he brought from Europe. For Yan Changwu, Yan Changwu is deeply interested, this is the high-tech of that era!

The development of Chinese and Western civilizations gradually showed signs of decline in the East. On the contrary, Western science has a tendency to come from behind.

What surprised Tang Ruowang was that Yan Changwu had quite a lot of understanding of the science and technology he mentioned, such as Copernicus's "heliocentric theory" (that is, the world is centered on the sun). Yan Changwu immediately made a move that surprised him very much.

"This is the sun, this is Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune!!!"

He drew the solar system on a piece of paper with a pencil. There were eight planets in total. However, there were still a few planets that had not been discovered at that time. He actually wrote them out and named them!

Then he drew a little bit with a pencil to draw the Milky Way, and then used a little bit more to draw a galaxy outside the galactic!

His unquestionable attitude shocked both Tang Ruowang and Sun Yuanhua.

Sample, labor and capital don't shock you, you can be the warlord!

Then, this drawing was naturally taken away by Sun Yuanhua! (Many years later, this astronomical drawing was auctioned for an astronomical price!)

...

"If you can work in Southeast Mansion, I will hire you as a professor at Southeast University and will not interfere with your mission in Southeast Mansion!" Yan Changwu confessed to Tang Ruowang.

Tang Ruowang was overjoyed, while Sun Yuanhua stared at him: "But we haven't established Southeast University yet!"

"Father Tang is here, we will build this university, it's time!" Yan Changwu smiled.

He asked Tang Ruowang, "Will you stay in Southeast Mansion?"

"Of course~www.wuxiaspot.com~ this is my honor!" Tang Ruowang said without hesitation.

"Please come, Chief Chen and Chen Caiye, and we will finalize the university immediately!" Yan Changwu acted resolutely and immediately called in CEO Chen Zhongji and CFO Chen Hebin, and said to them: "I want to build a Southeast University!"

The two Chens knew the importance of "science and technology" beforehand. They immediately agreed, allocated funds and land, and extended their staff. Teachers such as Sun Yuanhua and Tang Ruowang are readily available, as well as the School of Architecture and the Ministry of Metallurgical Technology of the Southeastern Prefecture The talents from the University of St. Thomas (the oldest and earliest university in the Philippines was founded in 1611. It is not only the oldest university in the Philippines and even in Asia, but also one of the oldest Catholic schools in the world. Although it is theology, it also has Science and technology) The teachers hired at a high price have set a school-running strategy of "middle school as the body, Western learning for use", that is, Chinese studies and the practical sciences developed by the Southeast Government and Western sciences go hand in hand.

He also gave Tang Ruowang land, allowed him to build churches and spread doctrines, and even more so that he was dedicated to teaching mathematics, physics, astronomy, etc.

After the crowd left, Chen Zhongji frowned and said, "How can you let him preach here?"
