Afterwards, Wang Daochun wrote two more letters, one to the governor of Denglai, Sun Yuanhua, and the other to the governor of Shandong, Yu Dacheng. The contents of the letters were similar, indicating that they were informed that Kong Youde, the general of Dengzhou, had a rebellion on November 20, the fourth year of Chongzhen, and attacked Wuqiao County. The rebels were likely to conquer the prefectures and counties of Jinan Prefecture and requested the two governors to quickly wipe out the rebels.

Wang Daochun even wanted to impeach Sun Yuanhua. He was responsible for the rebellion caused by his soldiers, but the most urgent task was to quell the rebellion. He could still distinguish the priorities and talk about these matters until the rebellion was quelled.

After writing these three letters, I wrote them to Kong Youde and handed them to Deli to deliver them. The other two letters were in the official mailing system. The Ming Dynasty's industry is quite high. There is a station within 20 or 30 miles, but it is only for official use.

After a letter is delivered, there will be a waiter waiting for the postman to pass the letter to the next post. If the letter is urgent, the letter can be delivered to 600 or even 800 miles in one day, which is the so-called "600 miles to speed up" and "800 miles to speed up". This is the case for this letter. After all, if a major event such as rebellion occurs, the situation is indeed very tight. If nothing unexpected happens, the letter should arrive at the destination tomorrow morning and evening respectively.

Seeing that the letter was sent out, Wang Daochun felt bitter in his heart. The world was getting more and more chaotic. Thiefs, Jiannu, mutinies were emerging one after another. Now mutinies are happening again. How can this continue?

......

The next morning, Kong Youde was still thinking about how to win over Li Tianjing. If he wanted to show off in the future, he would definitely need such talents to help him, but to win over someone, he would definitely need to know him. Therefore, Meng Youcai, the captain of the sent personal soldiers, was meticulous and should be able to hear a lot of news.

Not long after, Meng Youcai returned, "General, his subordinates fulfilled their mission and heard some news."

"I did a good job, tell me, I saw and heard something." Kong Youde was very satisfied with his performance this time. With a look, he understood the end.

"When Lord Li returned to the old house yesterday, he first performed a strange ceremony. His subordinates had never seen such a ceremony, but it felt like what General you said, Sun Junmen often did."

It seems that the guess is right. Li Tianjing is like Sun Yuanhua and Xu Guangqi. He believes in Christianity, but unfortunately he does not believe in any religion, so he cannot use this.

"Have he said anything else?"

"Mr. Li had some disputes with his son. Regarding General, his son thought he didn't have to care about the general. Master Li said he wanted to help Sun Junmen and had to take care of it, so the two had a dispute. In the end, Lord Li convinced his son."

Kong Youde was still very grateful for Li Tianjing's attitude, but no matter how grateful he was, he would not give up his previous plan.

"Also, after Lord Li ended his argument with his son, he discussed some issues in calendar and mathematics. The general knew that his subordinates didn't understand these, and they couldn't remember what they said in detail."

Meng Youcai has never read books since he was a child, so naturally he doesn't understand these things. Kong Youde must not understand them either, but Kong Youde now has a lot of knowledge about these things. Although he has worked for many years in his previous life, he can still remember some of the things from middle school. Maybe he can use them to fool Li Tianjing and recruit him under his command.

"You've done this well, go back and get twenty taels of silver rewards."

Meng Youcai thanked him and then withdrew.

Kong Youde is now trying to recall the geography, physics, and mathematics aspects that he learned in high school. He can use it to fool Li Tianjing, a Christian later. His scientific exhibition level is definitely not as good as what he has learned.

In fact, since the Jiajing period, many European missionaries came to the Ming Dynasty and wanted to spread Christianity to the Ming Dynasty. However, Buddhism and Taoism were already in China, and the official did not support it, so there were almost no missionary achievements during this period.

Moreover, many Christian doctrines are contrary to Chinese traditions, such as Christian doctrines that do not allow concubines. However, in the Ming Dynasty, as long as you become an official or have some money, you have the habit of taking concubines. With this doctrine, Christianity naturally does not receive support from the top leaders and is even expelled, such as the Nanjing lesson plan during the Wanli period.

In the 44th year of Wanli, the Minister of Rites of Nanjing, Chen Que, wrote to Emperor Wanli three times in succession, and contacted some senior executives to attack the Catholic Church, saying that they had collusion with rebel organizations such as the White Lotus Sect, and then arrested the missionaries who preached in Beijing and Nanjing and escorted them to Macau. For a long time, missionaries were not allowed to enter the mainland.

However, missionaries would not give up like this. Since missionaries from Europe know a lot about all aspects, some officials of the Ming Dynasty were not interested in Christianity, but were quite interested in Western scientific knowledge. Typical of them were Xu Guangqi, Sun Yuanhua, Li Zhizao, etc.

Therefore, most of the missionaries who came to the Ming Dynasty made careful preparations and studied the current scientific knowledge in Europe hard to achieve the goal of stepping stone. They first used this knowledge to attract some high-ranking officials, and then preached with their support.

Some missionaries have a lot of knowledge, comparable to scientists of this era. It seems that they have taken great pains to preach.

In fact, their routine was indeed quite successful. They successfully allowed Xu Guangqi and other senior officials to join the church, and then supported them as an official identity, and even built churches for them, providing missionary funds, etc.

Now that I think about it, Li Tianjing probably entered the teachings like this, and probably mastered a lot of relevant knowledge. Although he knows more, he only has a wider range of knowledge and is only a rough idea. He doesn't know how to use it, and he doesn't even know how to build a cannon.

If you can really complete the first step of the plan, you will definitely need a large number of relevant figures. When the situation stabilizes, you will definitely need a large number of relevant talents. People like Li Tianjing who have rich experience in officials and have a certain degree of professionalism are naturally the best choice.

Just when Kong Youde was looking forward to the future, his personal soldiers came in to report, "General, Lord Li, who entered the city yesterday, came to pay a visit. Should he come in?"

"Let him come in," Kong Youde agreed casually, and felt that this was wrong, and immediately shouted, "Slowly, go and tell Lord Li, let him wait for a moment, I will go out to greet him in person."

Kong Youde sorted out his clothes, washed his face again, and then went out to greet Li Tianjing.

"Mr. Li, I came so early. Did you sleep well last night?" Kong Youde smiled and said hello when he saw Li Tianjing.

"General Tokon's blessing, I was protected by soldiers last night, so I don't have to worry about the troubled army, and I slept peacefully."

Kong Youde could hear that he was choreographing himself, and he didn't care about this. "It's windy outside and the physics is warm. Please ask Lord Li to follow me in before talking about it."

Li Tianjing didn't know anything, so he followed Kong Youde and went in. It was indeed much warmer to have a brazier inside the house than outside.
