Xiao Ruxun disagreed with Matteo Ricci's remarks.

"You are born with original sin? Your doctrine is the same as the idea of ​​the ancient sage Xunzi in our country. He also agrees with the theory that human nature is evil, believing that people are born evil and not good, but he does not think that people have any sins to redeem. He means that they must undergo acquired education to teach people to do good, so as to offset the inherent sins in their nature. I agree with his point of view.

As for what you are talking about, God, Mr. Ricci, I think most of the people of Daming will not agree with it. Our bodies and hair are subject to our parents, not God. It is the parents who give us the grace of raising us. Even if we are sinful, we must atone for our parents, not God. God is high and regards all things as straw dogs. How can we care about the life and death of a person?

As I walked along the way, I saw nothing more than death. Those who died of battle and starved to death and were killed. If God really wanted to redeem them, why would he let them die? Isn’t it good to live? As for the heaven and earth after death, what is the meaning of living people? Living people can’t see it! So I think there are no gods and Buddhas in the world, and there are only people. No matter how devout believers are, they cannot get the blessing of God. Ordinary people who do not believe in God may not live a miserable life. Don’t spread your teachings to me!"

Xiao Ruxun put down the globe and stood up.

Matteo Ricci didn't know what words to use to express his views. He felt that his beliefs were not wrong and his beliefs were not wrong, but in this general, it seemed that all the missionary methods were not used.

"The God in your heart is the Son of God. Your original sin was born with you and you must atone for sins. But we have been fighting against the gods from the beginning. There are ten suns in the sky, we have archers shooting them down, monsters, monsters, monsters, monsters, monsters, monsters, and monsters on the ground. We have powerful warriors killing them. Floods came from the sky. We have Dayu controlled the flood. No gods came to help us. Our ancestors knew from the beginning that everything could only be relied on ourselves. We have no original sin to atone for us. Everything today was something we worked hard for ourselves."

"this……"

Matteo Ricci didn't know enough about China, and he didn't know how to refute Xiao Ruxun.

"If my fame and fortune are rewarded by God, rather than being shot by me with one sword and one shot by me, I might believe in gods and demons. If I lie on the ground and pray to the gods when I lead the troops to fight, and then all my enemies will die. Then I also believe in gods and demons. If I do nothing but pray to the gods, I will have the status today. I also believe in gods and demons, but no, everything I get is my own hard work, and it is exchanged for my soldiers under my command. If I believe in gods and demons, I am too sorry to them."

After saying that, Xiao Ruxun walked out of the cabin and went to the deck, leaving Matteo Ricci standing alone in the cabin and speechless.

In Macau, Xiao Ruxun met the Portuguese who had lost their homeland now. Their situation was very bad. The Spanish were not friendly to them. If they wanted to survive and maintain dignity, they needed to join forces with stronger forces. So they proposed that they hoped to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty as always. They sent people to help the Ming Dynasty conquer the Dongwu Kingdom, hoping to get the Ming Dynasty political protection and help.

Xiao Ruxun happened to need a man who was well versed in firearm tactics to help him train his soldiers. The Portuguese recommended himself and gave Xiao Ruxun excellent help. Without saying a word, Xiao Ruxun agreed to their request, so a 200-man Portuguese musket team boarded Xiao Ruxun's warship and went with him to conquer Dongwu Kingdom. As for Matteo Ricci, he seemed to be confused and asked Xiao Ruxun to agree to let him go with him to conquer. He wanted to think clearly about his doubts in the war.

Xiao Ruxun naturally agreed that Matteo Ricci was at least a scholar with rich knowledge and with him by his side, Xiao Ruxun could also extract many of the latest achievements in the Western scientific community.

Since this is the case, there was an additional Portuguese musket team of 200 people in Xiao Ruxun's army. Most of them used combroach guns, and a few used flintlock guns. Xiao Ruxun used their combroach guns and flintlock guns to compare them with the Ming Dynasty bird guns, and indeed found a big gap. The medicine room of the Ming Dynasty bird guns was too small, not well-made, the amount of medicine was unscientific, and the gunpowder was rough, so it was a bit different from the Portuguese muskets in terms of range and power.

Xiao Ruxun immediately arranged for his own blacksmith camp to analyze the Portuguese musket medicine room in depth, and then improve this technology, and also study the gunpowder used by the Portuguese to see how it is different from the gunpowder of the Ming Dynasty, and it also needs to be improved.

Openly and secretly, Xiao Ruxun was trying to extract the military and scientific knowledge of these grape people, such as arranging these Portuguese to teach their gunners, teaching them how to use artillery scientifically, and master the artillery launch knowledge. In these processes, Matteo Ricci became a cheap translator, translating the specific meaning to the soldiers, and he seemed to have a lot of fun.

On the day of arriving at Dongwu Kingdom, the weather was hot and the sun was sunny at the top, so Xiao Ruxun couldn't stand it. After arriving near the sea of ​​Siam, Xiao Ruxun ordered the cannons to be fired and the Ming army flag were raised. After 12 cannons, the soldiers on the ship began to blew the horns of the Ming army and beat the big drums on the ship, declaring the return of the Ming naval forces since Zheng He left more than a hundred years ago.

The Siam King Narixuan also sounded a salute on the shore, followed the horn of the Ming Dynasty, and recalled his own horn and beat the war drum, expressing his most sincere welcome to the arrival of the Ming army.

As Xiao Ruxun's flagship slowly approached, the whole picture of the Ming fleet gradually became observed by the world. In addition to King Naruixuan's army and ministers on the shore, there were many local people rushing to watch the fun. They were still smiling when one or two ships, but when the Ming warships came overwhelmed, the black voice scared them speechless and silent.

They finally understood why their ancestors admired China so much. The reputation of Zheng He's fleet back then was even stronger than that of the current fleet. How might it be?

Not to mention these Siamese people, even the Portuguese and Matteo Ricci who were used to the big scenes, were frightened to speak when they saw the full picture of the Ming fleet. They finally knew how strong the Ming Empire was. In addition to the Spanish Invincible Fleet, there was another country in the world that also had an Invincible Fleet.

Ming Dynasty!
