Facing Rui Costa's request to become an official, Li Xiao was slightly stunned.

Li Xiao can't help thinking of the scene that father Torres met with him on that day.

At that time, when Li Xiao was in Chengsheng City, he was very surprised to hear that a propaganda teacher from Portugal wanted to find himself.

As a modern man, Li Xiao naturally knew why Catholicism was, but for the Japanese at that time, Catholicism was still a mystery. He called it Jili Zhidan, and unified the Portuguese, Spanish and Italian who came to Japan at that time as Nanman.

As for Britain and the Netherlands, they came to Japan decades later than Portugal. Basically, after the defeat of the Spanish invincible fleet and after the joint war in Guanyuan, the Dutch and British came into contact with Japan.

Of course, for Torres, even for westerners, the Japanese of this era never knew anything or half understood.

In 1543, a Ming smuggling ship under the banner of Wufeng landed on Japan's seed island with three Portuguese. The Portuguese knew Japan for the first time.

This incident was called iron cannon in Japan. Shiyao, the seed island of Shimadzu's family ministers, bought two muskets at a price of two thousand Liang. Later, it was successfully imitated by the forging craftsman baban jinbingwei and named it iron cannon.

Since then, iron cannons were introduced into the Warring States period of Japan, which made an earth shaking innovation in the methods of war in the Warring States period.

PS: at that time, the Japanese said that Wang Zhi, the Japanese pirate of the Ming Dynasty, was the owner of the Wufeng ship. His smuggling ship hung the Wufeng flag and was unobstructed along the coast of Kyushu, Japan. Therefore, it should be the next smuggling ship under Wang Zhi that carried the Portuguese at that time. I don't know whether he was on board or not.

Later, Portuguese missionaries preached in Japan, but the process was not smooth, largely because they didn't know much about the Japanese at that time.

Thinking of this, Li Xiao suddenly felt a sense of superiority of a transgressor. As a transgressor, he knew the Portuguese better than the Japanese at that time, and the Japanese of this era better than the Portuguese.

Li Xiao immediately met this group of friends from the other side of the ocean at the Tianshou Pavilion of Chengsheng city. Together with him were his subordinates, Dao shengmeng, BENDUO Zhengxin, Shigang Yiyu and Da Zang Chang'an.

The blessing of nine-year compulsory education, plus the incomparable CET-4 in college.

Li Xiao decided to show off his daily English conversation in front of these foreign devils. I think although he is a Portuguese, he should not be unfamiliar with English as a propaganda teacher.

But in fact, when Li Xiao began to show off his poor English, he found that all the foreigners present looked like fog.

“NOBODYCANSPEAKENGLISH?”

Li Xiao asked again. A propaganda teacher who knew Japanese at the scene said, "dear Lord, you probably speak English, but we don't understand it."

In fact, Li Xiao did not understand modern English. Before the 17th century, there were still many differences in spoken English and usage.

Finally, Li Xiao gave up his intention to communicate in English.

At this time, he was dressed in a black monk's uniform and hung a cross on his chest. Torres came forward with an exotic Chinese accent and said, "good day, dear Lord, I heard that you came from the great Ming Empire, so I feel very kind. I'm here to pay high tribute to you."

Li Xiao nodded. As missionaries, in order to spread the gospel of the Lord around the world, it should not be an accident that they travel all over the world and know Chinese well. With this fanatical religious enthusiasm, these people are senior professors proficient in several languages in modern universities.

Moreover, in 1557, that is, seven years ago, the Portuguese obtained the right of abode in Macao from the Ming government, so it is not surprising that missionaries can speak Chinese.

Li Xiao also replied in Chinese: "Hello, father Torres, thank you for coming all the way from the Flemish country of Taixi to Ming and Japan, which has made positive contributions to the friendly exchanges between the East and the West."

Hearing Li Xiao's words, Torres and his companions immediately nodded. Frankie was the title of the Ming Dynasty to Spain and Portuguese at that time, so from this title, it can be confirmed that Li Xiao was a Ming nationality.

In 1521 and 2022, after two defeats in the Tuen Mun naval battle and the Xicao Bay naval battle with the Ming Empire, the Portuguese changed their policy and traded with the huge empire in the east by diplomatic means.

Therefore, the Portuguese of this era have great respect for the people of the Ming Dynasty and dare not treat them as the natives of the American continent.

When Torres confirmed Li Xiao's identity, they immediately introduced themselves one by one.

Among the Portuguese in this line were Jesuit missionaries and ordinary sailors.

When they introduced themselves, Li Xiao widened his eyes. For the Portuguese in front of him, their names are really... Shocking.

"Your Lord, Ugo Almeida, the servant of God, has been called to pay high tribute to you."

"Well, I accept your respect."

"Nuno Gomez, the servant of God, is called to pay high tribute to you."

"Well, nice to meet you."

Listening to them introduce their names one by one, Li Xiao suddenly felt whether he had summoned all the Portuguese national team at the European Championship.

Um? The woodlouse, who came in and looked around, was called Rui Costa.

What, this hoop leg is called Figo, my God.

Of course, when the last Portuguese entourage introduced himself and called himself Cristiano Ronaldo, Li Xiao was embarrassed on the spot. He felt that even Ronaldo came, and there was nothing impossible in the world.

get down to business.

Immediately, Li Xiao also introduced his family members to these Portuguese propaganda teachers.

Kanto is neither better than Gyeonggi nor Kyushu. Local people have a low ability to accept new things. For example, Shigang Yiyu and BENDUO Zhengxin don't like these Nanman monks who come out of nowhere.

So when introducing each other, Shigang Yiyu and Honda Zhengxin were very wary of these people.

On the contrary, such as Shimao shengmeng and Da Zang Chang'an, they have all been to Bodo town in Kyushu before, so they have also seen Southern barbarians such as Torres, so their attitude is relatively mild.

Torres didn't speak Chinese very smoothly, so Li Xiao and Torres resumed Japanese conversation.

As a jumper, the advantages are everywhere. As a modern man, in addition to his understanding of the Portuguese team in the European Championship and the world cup, he comes from the navigator who pioneered in human history when introducing the era of great navigation in the history of middle school.

Li Xiao's knowledge and knowledge of geography were much better than Torres's woodlouse.

The first thing that resonates with Torres is that the earth is round.

"Tut, tut, tut," Torres exclaimed excitedly. "Unexpectedly, Lord Li Xiao, it's incredible that you know the DIAS in your country, the horn of good hope in Africa and the Americas."

Torres now has the feeling of meeting an old friend in a foreign country.

Torres has turned over rivers and seas in his heart. He looks at Li Xiao more kindly and thinks that he is a confidant. This is my candidate for Catholicism to spread the gospel in the East.

Li Xiao said with a loud boast, "of course, in fact, we had discovered America as early as Zheng He's seven voyages to the west, but at that time, the former Emperor Yongle Ye Rende knew that there were indigenous people in this land, so he couldn't bear to seize it, so he didn't add troops to occupy it."

Li Xiao said that Torres had a red face. Compared with Europeans, he was immoral and colonized by killing and driving out local aborigines. Of course, they were very disgraceful.

When Li Xiao said this, he immediately put himself on a moral height.

When Li Xiaoju ran said nothing to the Nanman monk who knew astronomy and geography, his face was filled with admiration.

Our Lord is really awesome.

Dao shengmeng, Da Zang Chang'an, who has seen the power of Nanman, said so in his heart.

Torres had the intention to attract Li Xiao to join the church. On second thought, he still wanted to use some Western tricks to attract the warrior of the Ming Dynasty.

So Torres took out a metal, yellow, round thing from his arms, put it in front of Li Xiao and asked, "Lord, when I meet you, in the words of your Ming people, it's like old times at first sight. Out of admiration for the Lord's style, I send a gift to show my high respect."

Li Xiao grabbed the yellow round thing from Torres, and Li Xiao's family members are all wide eyed at the moment, looking at the southern barbarian, wondering what it is.

The southern barbarian looks very good in shape and appearance. The surface is smooth and reflective, and the amazing round metal makes a clear sound of ticking, which makes the personality pleasant.

The ticking sound immediately scratched the bottom of the hearts of the people present. Although they were 12% curious about the southern barbarian, even Shigang Yiyu, who had seen the radio, didn't know what the round yellow metal object was.

"This Nanman monk is upset and kind. I don't know what to use to test our Lord. I think they are going to be bad for him." Shigang Yiyu snorted coldly.

On the contrary, bendo said, "wait, it seems that this thing can't help the Lord."

After Li Xiao took over the Yellow South barbarian, he smiled, put him in the palm of his hand, and lifted the South barbarian from it like a shell.

Li Xiao's family officials all stretched their heads to see what it was.

In full view of the public, Li Xiao looked into his palm and saw that twelve Roman numerals were engraved in the yellow metal disc, which made a crisp ticking sound of gears.

Li Xiao smiled at Torres and said, "father Torres, I'm very grateful for giving me such a beloved pocket watch. I just lack a clock to watch the time."

The Portuguese in this line were shocked to see Li Xiao call out the name of his pocket watch and even make him.

When the Portuguese missionary work in Kyushu, the most favorite thing was to see the look of woodlouse. They looked at the local lords who were superior to the local love.

At present, they actually failed, and his sense of superiority didn't exist in an instant.

Seeing this, Torres was more convinced of Li Xiao and said directly: "a pocket watch can not fully represent my respect for the Lord. May I ask your excellency Li Xiao, since you know everything, you must also know a lot about our Catholicism."

Li Xiao looked solemn and thought that the meat was finally coming. (to be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly ticket at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
