    In the garden.

    Zhao Han was playing with a Japanese sword. It was a small Taidao with a length of about two feet. The inscription on the sword was "Echizen Yasutsuki".  According to the format of the knife inscription, it is probably similar to "Suzhou Zhangsan".

    This knife is tough and sharp, it should come from the hands of a famous Japanese knife maker.

    After slashing for a while, Zhao Han put the knife back into its sheath.

    Zhu Youdong stepped forward holding the iron hammer: "Your Majesty, the army has changed many kinds of warhammers, and the standard warhammer of Ming Dynasty is the most practical."

    Looking at the unpretentious iron hammer, Zhao Han couldn't help but smile and said: "Since this hammer can be listed as the armament of the Ming Dynasty, it must have gone through the test of the battlefield. We took a detour before, and the Iron Armored Army will equip this kind of hammer from now on.  .¡±

    This kind of warhammer is about two feet long, and the handle accounts for two thirds.  The whole body is made of wrought iron, and the hammer head is only the size of a fist.

    It looks featureless, but it is simple and effective, and its length and center of gravity are good for actual combat.

    In fact, not only Zhao Han decided to equip the Ming standard warhammer, but Huang Taiji had trained the Han army flag double-cone soldiers back then, and he also used the Ming standard warhammer as a weapon.

    This kind of hammer unit is specially used to break through the formation of heavy armored infantry.

    As the frontier army of the Ming Dynasty became weaker and weaker, the use of the double-cone soldiers of the Han army flag in the Manchu and Qing Dynasties became less and less useful, and they were canceled before entering the customs.  Otherwise, the casualties of the Datong defenders in last year's Gaizhou defense battle would have doubled.

    At this moment, Dorgon is looting North Korea, and reforming the Eight Banners Army at the same time: first, the Han Army Banner Shotgun Vest, converted to Manchu Qing Dragoons;

    As the war continues, everyone is groping for progress.

    "Your Majesty, bring them from Xiyi." Li Xiangjun came to report.

    Zhao Han put away his smile, held the Ming-style warhammer in his hand, sat back on his chair and said, "Bring them in."

    A group of Europeans lined up to enter, still tied with ropes.

    When Peter Mundy met, he cried: "Your Majesty, I am wronged! I am not a missionary. Even if I am a missionary, I should spread Protestantism."

    Zhao Han held back his smile, waved his hand and said, "I caught the wrong person, untie this person."

    Peter Mundy, who had regained his freedom, quickly knelt down to thank him.  This guy is not only proficient in Chinese, he is also very proficient in kneeling and kowtowing, and he doesn't know who his Sinology teacher is.

    Zhao Han looked at the missionaries again, and said in a deep voice, "In the Fu'an missionary case, three Spanish missionaries died, eleven Chinese believers in Fu'an died, and dozens of others were injured. I need an explanation.  !"

    Ben Ande, the observer of the Holy See in China, said: "Your Majesty, those who caused trouble in Fu'an belonged to Dominican missionaries, and we are all Jesuit missionaries."

    "So, it has nothing to do with you?" Zhao Han asked.

    "Yes, it has nothing to do with the Society of Jesus." Ben Ande not only wanted to clear himself of his crimes, but also took the opportunity to eliminate dissidents, "Your Majesty, 90% of the missionaries in China belong to the Society of Jesus. But the remaining 10%  Belongs to Dominicans, Franciscans and other churches. Our Jesuits respect Chinese culture, customs and traditions, while other churches are very conservative and completely ignore Chinese cultural customs. Please expel other churches, Your Majesty, so that there will be no more  Something happened."

    Zhao Han turned his head and asked Peter Mundy: "Have you heard that I know Dominic?"

    Peter Mundy replied: "Of course, Your Majesty. The Dominican Republic was founded by Spain. It began to preside over the Inquisition more than 400 years ago. They like to accuse believers of heresy. Over the past few hundred years, I don't know how many people have been burned to death."  .In Europe, many innocent women, as well as scholars who spread science, were condemned by the Dominicans as heretics and burned to death. A hundred years ago, the Dominicans also committed crimes in Britain, and at most they burned to death a year.  Hundreds of people."

    Zhao Han suddenly realized: "It turns out that the Inquisition is controlled by them."

    Ai Julio took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, Dominic will be extremely cruel, while I, Jesuit, will be open-minded and kind. Although both believe in Christianity, the two should not be confused. Your Majesty, please grant the missionary right of the Jesuits and expel all Dominic in China.  Tomorrow I will be a monk!"

    In fact, the Jesuits were also founded by the Spaniards, but they are now controlled by the Portuguese government.

    The struggle between the two churches, in addition to the religious dispute, is also mixed with the national competition between Spain and Portugal.  Regardless of Portugal's decline, from India to China, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia, the Jesuits supported by Portugal have a monopoly.

    The reason is simple, the Portuguese first came to Asia!

    As for the religious disputes in Japan over the years, it is the Protestant forces represented by the Netherlands that are crowding out the old religious forces in Spain and Portugal.

    ? Matteo Ricci, Tang Ruowang, Nan Huairen, Ai RuConvene a general meeting.

    Ai Julius took the lead in speaking: "We cannot refuse the emperor, otherwise the Jesuits will disappear in China, and decades of hard work may come to an end."

    "Are you going to break with the Holy See?" Ban Ande asked.

    Fu Fanji said: "Breaking with the Holy See is tantamount to breaking with the Portuguese royal family."

    Having said this, the missionaries were even more desperate.

    The Eastern missionaries of the Jesuits were all funded by Portugal.  They build churches in China, discuss learning with Confucian scholars in China, and recruit believers by benevolent people in China. All these activities require stable funds!

    After breaking with the Pope and breaking with Portugal, there will be no money for missionary work in the future.

    Regardless of belief, money is the most practical!

    Tang Ruowang said: "Once it breaks with the Holy See and Portugal, the Chinese Jesuits will have to change. Missionaries must find jobs to support themselves and must fully integrate into Chinese society."

    Ban Ande asked in surprise: "Do you really want to follow the order of the Chinese emperor?"

    "Otherwise? Was he expelled by the emperor like Long Huamin?" Tang Ruowang said, "I don't want to leave China, I want to stay here to preach."

    "I also want to stay in China," said Aleulio.

    Ban Ande said angrily: "You are betraying the Holy See. I would rather be expelled than accept such an order!"

    The Chinese Jesuits, at the moment they were forced to stand in line by Zhao Han, could not escape the fate of internal division.
