"You said you had a Chinese name, what was it and who gave it to you?" Jiajing became interested in this. Because according to Ming Dynasty tradition, naming is a big deal. Although I don’t know if the situation is the same for Gui Lao, I am curious after all.
In this way, the young Germanic Lutherans who knocked on the door of the Forbidden City for the twelfth time finally met the Ming Emperor alone again after the first state banquet.
This opportunity is crucial to the Germans, to the Protestants, and to himself, so he can only succeed and not fail.
So, regarding Jiajing's curiosity, Liu Changqing passionately spoke out all the practical details in his poor Mandarin that he had learned over time.
After Jiajing was briefly interested in this young man who loved to fight against injustice, he turned to ask about Taixi's specific situation.
In the German region, the Holy Roman HRE has long been on the verge of collapse. Tsar Ivan IV in the east has already defeated the Tatars from the east, threatening the entire Eastern Europe and even the old land of the HRE. However, since the Ottomans captured Constantinople, the Habsburg family was struggling to cope with the battle with France, and the originally loose HRE fell apart.
Currently, due to the war, the land passage to the East via Central and Eastern Europe has been cut off.
As a result, the coastal countries of Western Europe have risen, but as traditional countries in Central and Eastern Europe, they have been left far behind by the times.
The most dangerous thing is that in Germany, Lutheranism has already emerged among the people. However, the Habsburgs stubbornly adhered to Catholicism, which led to intensified sectarian strife. In addition, the Eastern Orthodox Church faced the threat of Ivan IV the Terrible.
In the religious field, heresy is more terrifying than heresy. Therefore, the people of Germany who believe in Lutheranism have reached a critical stage of survival.
At this time, since it has been said since ancient times that the Peach Blossom Stone in the East is the most just and peaceful heaven, then as a Lutheran people who believe in God, isn’t it reasonable to ask for help from the heaven on earth established by God?
Isn’t the emperor of the Ming Dynasty the last Caesar left by God in the world?
Although the Ming Dynasty suffered repeated defeats in previous naval battles, it was just that he did not pay attention to the last Caesar in the world in front of him. That’s all.
The duty given to him by God is to wake up the last Caesar, and then mobilize the army to rescue the brothers in the church.
Liu Changqing, the more I think about it, the more reasonable it becomes, and the more I think about it, the more confident I become.
Watching Liu Changqing's talk, Jiajing couldn't bear it.
Because Jiajing has never come across such a religious person in his life who is willing to risk everything for him.
In other words, the current Confucian scholars are too impure.
To show respect, and of course to listen to the truth while this young man is complacent. Jiajing did not interrupt the young man in front of him. Instead, while listening, he used a brush to make some marks in front of his desk.
Fortunately, Liu Changqing’s Mandarin is indeed not good.To put it bluntly, it is not troublesome for Jiajing to take notes.
During the period of Jiajing, I actually gained a lot of knowledge about Europe and the West. More than 40 years ago, all the documents from the Zhengde period were taken out and read.
As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, especially an emperor whose Confucianism is orthodox, it is absolutely impossible to get involved in religious wars. Therefore, Jiajing has no interest in being the last Caesar in the world.
But Jiajing's attention was focused on Mongolia's information, that is, the Golden Family was in Eastern Europe, Siberia, and the Khanate, and the newly emerged Tsar Ivan IV of the Principality of Muscovy actually defeated The former golden family.
It would be unthinkable for the Ming Dynasty’s army to cross the Great Wall and confront Mongolia head-on.
And once Ivan IV unifies Siberia in the future, his power will extend to the Western Regions, and the Ming Dynasty will have to face a choice.
Any other emperor might have thought this issue was unfounded, but for someone as suspicious and ill as Jiajing, once he was allowed to find clues by himself, he would definitely believe it.
Of course, the root cause lies in the governance method. That Ivan IV was still engaged in business expansion. It was also business that supported Mongolia in its southern and northern wars. This made Jiajing feel that Ivan IV was not only an imaginary threat, but probably a real threat.
But how to straighten it all out? What method should Ming use? Jiajing didn't think about it.
He did not give a clear promise, but he appointed Taichang Shaoqing, an unworthy and unranked official, as an official. If this thing is recognized by the cabinet, it will be a fourth-grade product, on the same level as Gao Hanwen. Unfortunately, there was no follow-up confirmation, so Liu Changqing went back happily without knowing the market situation.
