"What do you say your name is?"

Xiao Ruxun asked in disbelief.

"Xu Guangqi! The word first, Songjiang County! I'm Han! I'm not a meticulous worker! I'm from the capital, and I'm here to find Admiral Xiao! ”

Xiao Ruxun was stunned, blinked his eyes, and looked at Nurhachi again.

Nurhachi opened his mouth and asked, "Who do you say you are looking for?" ”

"Admiral Xiao! Admiral Xiao! Xiao Ruxun Admiral Xiao! I'm here to join him! I knew that he was going to come to Datong to fight, so I came to Datong to inquire about him, but I was accidentally captured by the northern captives, and I finally escaped! What kind of troops are you? Does Admiral Xiao know? Xiao Ruxun Admiral Xiao! Zhennan Hou Xiao Ruxun! ”

Xu Guangqi, who was pinned, was extremely panicked, he was really worried that he was cut down by this group of big-headed soldiers who couldn't read a basket of big characters, he even escaped from the capture of the northern captives, but he never thought that he had not escaped the capture of his own people, thinking back on the course of these days, it was really a thrilling.

"How do you prove that you are a lifter? What are the credentials? ”

Xu Guangqi said anxiously: "I came all the way, encountered the Northern Cavalry several times, and then was captured, if I wasn't smart, I would have died a long time ago, and now I finally escaped, all the belongings on my body were lost, and only a musket remained!" Right! That's it! Alas! It's mine! It's mine! It was given to me by Admiral Xiao! ”

Xiao Ruxun looked at the musket and suddenly remembered something.

Isn't this what I asked to go to Jingshi to find Xu Guangqi and then give it to him?

The person in front of him is actually Xu Guangqi?

Didn't he take the exam in the Beijing Normal Examination?

"Xu Guangqi, let me ask you, where did you get this pole from?"

Xu Guangqi hurriedly said: "This is a gift from Admiral Xiao!" It was Admiral Xiao who sent someone to Jingshi to find me and give it to me! If you can't do it, you can take this gun and verify with Admiral Xiao! Admiral Xiao also wrote me a letter! Admiral Xiao will definitely prove my identity! I'm Xu Guangqi! I'm Han! I'm not a meticulous worker! ”

Xiao Ruxun took a deep breath.

Fate, too, is too wonderful.

This person is a real legend, the pioneer of cultural exchanges between the East and the West in the Ming Dynasty, is the initial dawn of hope, far-reaching, proficient in practical work, his hometown Songjiang County is actually today's Shanghai, Shanghai has a place name called Xujiahui, the "Xu" of this "Xu family", refers to Xu Guangqi.

Fate actually sent him to him in such a way, and what did he just say - defection?

"Xu Guangqi, aren't you in the capital to take the exam? After participating in the examination, you should have to wait for the release of the list, then the palace examination, and finally the Golden Palace, what, how did you come to Datong? ”

"Of course I'm ......"

Xu Guangqi opened his mouth, suddenly realized something, and looked at the strange smile on Xiao Ruxun's face, he blinked his eyes and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Is the general the ......?"

"Yes, I'm Xiao Ruxun, the Xiao Ruxun you're looking for, Xu Guangqi, why are you here?"

Xiao Ruxun smiled, threw the gun to the guards beside him, squatted down, and said, "Untie him, he is not fine." ”

"No!"

The guards quickly untied the rope on Xu Guangqi's body, but Xu Guangqi still knelt on the ground and didn't stand up, looking at Xiao Ruxun who was squatting in front of him.

"You...... Are you really Admiral Xiao? ”

"What Admiral Xiao, it's Governor Xiao! His Majesty personally appointed our family Shiro as the governor of the four sides, which is the first military general governor of the Ming Dynasty since the implementation of the supervision system! Our Shiro is going down in history! ”

Xu Guangqi's eyes widened, and his face was full of incredulity: "Governor Xiao? ”

"When did you leave the capital?"

Xiao Ruxun asked him with a smile.

"February 20th."

Xiao Ruxun nodded.

"The news shouldn't have spread yet, but now if you return to the capital, everyone should know, this governor was named the governor of the four sides by His Majesty, it's normal if you don't know, this governor is Xiao Ruxun, if it's fake, don't believe it, look at the guns of the guards under my command."

Xiao Ruxun gave an order, and more than a dozen soldiers in the tent immediately showed their firearms to Xu Guangqi.

"There are no 1,000 guns of this kind in the Ming Dynasty, only one of the 300 guards under the command of the Governor, and the cost of a 12-tael piece of silver is even unaffordable for ordinary people, and, 'I wish Mr. High School Jinshi, for the benefit of the country, as Kaoru wishes', how can you prove the identity of the Governor?"

Xu Guangqi was excited when he heard this, and he was at a loss for what to do under the excitement, and after a while, he took a few deep breaths, and then bowed: "Student Xu Guangqi!" Meet Governor Shaw! ”

Xiao Ruxun stretched out his hand to support Xu Guangqi.

"Don't, Mr. Xu is a person, he has a meritorious reputation, I am just a temporary governor, and I will go to work after the war, it is not a big deal, but Mr. Xu is not in the capital waiting for the list to participate in the palace examination, why did he come to this Datong? This way is still caught by the North Captive? ”

Xu Guangqi's face was entangled, and he spoke ashamedly after a while: "Actually, in fact, the students know that they can't take the middle hall exam, so they come to Datong with a cheeky face, hoping to be taken in by Governor Xiao. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Xu Guangqi was ashamed and said: "When Governor Xiao wrote a letter, the first time the student was promoted, it was full of ambition to prepare for the examination room to show his ambitions, there was no intention of going south to take refuge, but to prepare for the examination and the palace examination, during this period, the Ming Dynasty had this war, Governor Xiao came back from Burma to preside over the war, and many people in the capital were talking about Governor Xiao.

Then, there were constantly victorious war reports coming, I and other scholars admired Governor Xiao's military strategy very much, before the start of the examination, there were even people who thought that this year's strategy would mention things related to the Shanxi war, but this time the examination, because the weather was too cold, there was no good preparation in the next, the state was extremely poor, and they knew that it was impossible to pass the examination, and they were disheartened and ready to go home.

When packing his luggage, he suddenly found the box of the flintlock torch given by the governor, and a letter inside, because he was worried that this letter would disturb his thoughts, so he never opened it until that time, and after watching it, he was deeply shocked and ashamed, so he decided to come to Datong to join Governor Xiao, hoping to get the answer he wanted from Governor Xiao! ”

After listening to Xu Guangqi's words, Xiao Ruxun stood up, and then helped Xu Guangqi up.

"Let's all get out!"

Xiao Ruxun waved his hand and got everyone out, including Nurhachi, and only he and Xu Guangqi were left in the tent.

"Mr. Xu, what answer do you want?"

"The Governor said that if reading is not to save the country but to make oneself rich, then there is no point in reading, and if you are sincere in studying to save the country, how can you save the country?"

After hearing this, Xiao Ruxun smiled dumbly.

"Mr. Xu, you are a scholar, governing the country and saving the country should be your scholar's business, why did you think of asking me about this general?"

Xu Guangqi said with a straight face: "The governor said that the country is not a country of scholars, but a country of people in the world, so the rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, and no one can and should not stay out of the matter!" The Governor was shocked that he could imagine this, so Guangqi thought that the Governor must know the answers to questions that Guangqi could not figure out. ”

"That's why you're coming to me?"

Xu Guangqi nodded and shook his head again.

"Not only that, but I also want to see how the governor practices what he has learned and uses what he has learned on the battlefield to save the country, Guangqi thinks that if he only reads for exams, he can't really carry forward his ambitions, and he must practice to govern the country and save the country!"
