Chapter 563 Descartes: This is Eastern Medicine?!
Zhu Youxiao had long asked Chen Shoushang and others to bring a group of literati and officials who were willing to become officials overseas who were recruited by the Ministry of Personnel to serve as officials appointed by the newly occupied areas after voyage to the West.
These scholars and officials were all scholars who were unsatisfied in the Ming Dynasty but were still ambitious.
Now that they are sent to serve as officials from other places, it is naturally a good choice for them.
However, there were too many scholars in the Ming Dynasty, and there were only a lot of scholars who wanted to become officials.
Even if there are many scholars and officials who want to go far away from the sea border, they have to be screened, so that all the alternate officials who can go to the West have to be screened.
When the newly established colonial areas in various places are really appointing temporary officials, they have to go through a screening.
Therefore, the Han dynasties who can be appointed as officials from all over the New Colonial Area are of good quality, at least their physical quality, because they can withstand years of bumps on the sea, which is not something that ordinary people can do.
But when we arrived at these new colonial areas, it felt very good to directly serve as a senior official like the governor or governor.
For them, it was not a waste of time to follow them.
However, for the current Netherlands, Zhang Huangyan's governors sent to the Dutch provinces did not have much practical power, because they did not have their own troops except their own entourage and the money allocated to them.
Even Zhang Huangyan, the governor, can only be regarded as an empty shell governor at present. The navy and marines he brought were only a battalion, with 4,000 soldiers, and could only barely defend the Hague City.
In order to successfully collect taxes next year and take over the urban defenses of towns in various provinces in the Netherlands, he has to recruit local people as soldiers, and rely on local people to maintain public order and resist the invasion of foreign forces.
This is also the reason why he cannot do a large-scale Chinese work in the Netherlands. He can only be the Supreme Emperor for the time being and allow the Dutch provinces to develop freely.
But he can still do this now by inviting outstanding scientists and handicraftsmen in the Netherlands to the Ming Dynasty.
"Mr. Descartes, His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty will summon you and ask you to go to Middle-earth for academic exchanges. You will go with your teacher, Mr. Mason, and a few of your friends. Your experimental equipment and all the books will be taken away, as well as your family."
After Zhang Huangyan came to Descartes and Mason's residence, he directly sent troops to surround their manor and started talking when he saw Descartes.
Descartes was as surprised as Pascal and Fermat. He moved to the Netherlands because the French church was powerful and did not allow him to discuss the Reformation. When he learned that the Orientals were coming to rule the Netherlands, he even worried that the Orientals would not be allowed to discuss the Reformation. But he did not expect that it was not. On the contrary, His Majesty the Emperor of these Orientals would summon him.
"But my teacher, Mr. Mason, is seriously ill, and the treatment effect of bloodletting is not ideal. He may not be convenient for him to accept the summons of your Emperor. In addition, I also want to accompany him for the last period of time. Please forgive me."
Descartes said.
"Doctor Ye! Go and treat his teacher."
Seeing this, Zhang Huangyan gave an instruction to the accompanying doctor Ye Shi and said to Descartes: "Bloodle therapy is useless! Our Chinese doctors may be able to save the teacher, please take him over."
Descartes nodded, but he did not refuse anyway.
After Ye Shi asked Mason about his eyes, hearing, asking and exposing him, he said: "External wind and cold have damaged the lungs. He needs to be well treated."
So, Ye Shi prescribed a prescription next.
Zhang Huangyan asked someone to pick up the medicinal materials he brought with him and took them according to the prescription.
After about three doses of medicine, Mason, a famous mathematician in history, began to show signs of improvement, reducing fever and relieving cough, and after re-treating the treatment, he was cured directly.
Descartes was quite shocked by this. After seeing Zhang Huangyan again, he couldn't help but ask: "Is this the medical skills of the East? I dare to ask, why do you cure my teacher in this way?"
"If you want to know the answer, go back to Middle Earth with them first!"
Zhang Huangyan said something.
"good!"
Descartes agreed directly.
Next, Descartes and Mason went to Barcelona, and met Pascal and Ferma and others there in Barcelona.
Descartes was also exposed to the "Probability Theory" and "Detailed Explanation of Nine Chapters Algorithms" and "Calculus Theory" printed by the Minute-State Supervisor, and excitedly discussed it with Mason, Fermat, Pascal and others, and became extremely interested in the Ming Dynasty.
The fleet of the Daming Holy Emperor was indeed ready to set sail and return to China, and had begun to purchase the materials and slaves needed for the sailing.
But before officially returning to China, according to the instructions of the Ming Emperor, Shen Shouyu and Zhu Youjian had one last thing to do, which was to declare to European countries the basic global order formulated by His Majesty the Ming Emperor and express the Ming Empire's neutral attitude towards European religious struggles.
Therefore, France, Spain, Portugal, and Britain were invited by Shen Shoushi and Zhu Youjian to send representatives to the Hague City to attend a global conference held by the Ming Empire.
At the meeting, Shen Shoushi declared the content of the basic global order formulated by the Ming Emperor, which was mainly to not kill without killing, massacre people from other countries, and to plunder merchant ships. He also asked the delegates to accept such order, otherwise they would be attacked by the Ming Empire.
For Portugal and Spain, which were already in a period of overseas colonial recession, they were happy to accept such order because their merchant ships were the most robbed.
Therefore, neither they nor the Confucian countries refused.
But Britain and France refused.
Because, nowadays, the most ruthless people plundering merchant ships overseas are the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, and France mainly expands on land.
Therefore, neither Britain nor France agreed.
As for the Netherlands, because he had become a part of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty did not declare it to him, but directly issued an order.
The Netherlands now has tens of thousands of merchant ships around the world, known as the sea coachman, and has a strong maritime power.
If the Dutch provinces did not have the same jurisdiction and their power was dispersed, the Ming Dynasty would not have easily annexed it.
It would take some energy for the Ming Dynasty to make these Dutch merchants abide by the rules.
Of course, this is a later story.
Shen Shousheng and Zhu Youjian only expressed their attitude on behalf of the Ming Empire.
The expression of the Ming Empire's neutral attitude towards the European religious dispute was to buy arms in the future.
Shortly after that, the Daming Holy Emperor fleet officially set off and returned to China.
The scale of the Emperor's fleet of the Ming Dynasty was larger than when it came, because the Emperor's fleet came here and signed a series of trade agreements with Portugal, France, Spain, Britain and Austria, and the Dutch merchants also obtained better trade policies from Governor Zhang Huangyan. Therefore, many Western merchant ships also returned to China with the Emperor's fleet of the Ming Dynasty, preparing to purchase more goods.
