Chapter 40: Xu Guangqi

Looking at the barren ground outside, there was still unmelted snow in some places, Xiong Tingbi knew that at this time, the Jurchens were also having a hard time, and this attack was actually to grab things.

Of course, if Shenyang and Liaoyang can be won, it will be enough for the Jurchens to eat, but Xiong Tingbi doesn't want to eat this bite of food in the mouth of the Jurchens.

The current environment is that there is no need for strong walls at all, because the outside of the city itself is barren. Therefore, Xiong Tingbi decided to spend it with the Jurchens.

"Marshal, the Governor is here." Chief soldier He Shixian whispered in Xiong Tingbi's ear.

Unlike civil officials, who looked down on Xiong Tingbi, the generals and soldiers in Liaodong were very convinced of Xiong Tingbi. The first is that he is not corrupt, and he can fight and understand them.

In the eyes of civil officials, the vulgar style is exactly where Xiong Tingbi wins the hearts of the people in the eyes of military generals. Therefore, since Xiong Tingbi arrived in Liaodong, the military power of the entire Liaodong has been in Xiong Tingbi's hands.

Governor Xue Guo didn't say anything, but he couldn't bear it, so he didn't have trouble with Xiong Tingbi these days.

Although the two sides did not turn their faces, they were almost the same.

The reason why Xiong Tingbi is called Bahu is not popular with civilian officials, or at least among the Donglin Party, is very simple.

He was born in the Zhejiang Party, and Xiong Tingbi did not do things according to the rules formulated by the Donglin Party, and to put it bluntly, he did not listen to the Donglin Party.

If you don't listen to me, that's okay? You don't have the same ...... No, if you don't become a gentleman like us, then you will be killed.

It's as simple as that.

"What if you come?" Xiong Tingbi raised his hand to press the sword at his waist, and snorted coldly, his face full of disdain.

Xiong Tingbi doesn't look down on Xue Guoyong, and his reason is the same as Yuan Yingtai. The rhetoric of the Donglin Party, the youth is endowed with the best of the best; Although there are a thousand words in the pen, there is really no plan in the chest.

It didn't take long for Xue Guoyong to walk up from below, and his face was black when he looked at Xiong Tingbi's appearance. The imperial court is a civil and military official, although Jinglu is a civil official, but he should have enough respect for himself as a governor, right? At the very least, you should ask for instructions early and report late, right?

Look at Xiong Tingbi's appearance, this is the supreme official, what can this kind of person do well?

"Xiong Jingluo, Jiannu is coming, I don't know if Xiong Jingluo has a good strategy to break the enemy?" Xue Guoyong looked at Xiong Tingbi and asked.

Although it was an inquiry, this tone made Xiong Tingbi very uncomfortable. Your high-minded face makes people really angry, and a fist smashes into your face just to get angry.

Of course, such an idea can only be thought about, but Xiong Tingbi didn't intend to give Xue Guo a good look, and said directly: "Without him, just stick to it." ”

Xue Guoyong looked at Xiong Tingbi, a flash of joy flashed on his face, but he still flicked his sleeves, turned around and went down to the city: "Then the official will see how Xiong Jingluo sticks to it." ”

Xiong Tingbi looked at Xue Guoyong's appearance and couldn't help but snort coldly, but a trace of worry still flashed in his eyes.

This Xue Guoyong didn't want to know it, he must have gone to write a song. The content is also very simple, that is, to impeach yourself, the content can also be guessed, arrogance is certain, of course, this is just the beginning.

The direction of the main attack should be to fear the enemy's cowardice, or even to make eye contact with Jiannu, and maybe even make a crime of collaborating with the enemy.

Xiong Tingbi never doubted the ability of these people to buckle their hats with a pen, and literati don't use knives to kill people.

But Xiong Tingbi also knew that even if he was polite to Xue Guoyong, he would still impeach himself, unless he was willing to worship their door and become a lackey.

But who are you? I'd rather die than do such a thing!

Looking in the direction of the capital, Xiong Tingbi's face showed a hint of hesitation, and then sighed lightly, hoping that the capital would not let him down!

Liaodong is actively preparing for war, and the capital is busy. The biggest thing at the moment is, of course, the emperor's choice of the queen, and other than that, there is nothing too big to worry about.

However, for Zhu Youxiao, his mind is not on choosing the queen.

As for the Donglin Party, the case was handed over to Yang Lian, and Zhu Youxiao put it down for the time being, ready to see how Yang Lian handled it.

In Zhu Youxiao's view, Yang Lian will eventually choose to succumb to those in the Donglin Party, or compromise, because they are the same kind of people.

In Yang Lian's view, everyone is the same kind of person and can be discussed; As for the eunuchs, that's not okay, that's a class enemy.

Zhu Youxiao was waiting for that day.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao is not ready to deal with Yang Lian and them, let them make trouble, and make trouble to the extent that it is, and wait until the end to come out by himself.

"Your Majesty, this note has been found." Chen Hong walked to Zhu Youxiao's side and respectfully handed him a copy of the recital.

Stretched out his hand and took the recital, this recital is actually very simple, just a recital of greetings, and the reason given is also very ordinary, which means that I am sick, I can no longer serve His Majesty, and I am going home to recuperate.

There are thousands of such recitals, and the reason why Zhu Youxiao is looking for this recital is also very simple, that is, the people who take this recital are not ordinary.

The name of the person on this note is Xu Guangqi, which is a man or a talent that Zhu Youxiao values the most after the crossing.

Xu Guangqi, the name Zixian, the name Xuanhu, the Catholic holy name Paul, Han nationality, Shanghai County Fahuahui (now Shanghai) people. Famous scientist and politician of the Ming Dynasty.

Xu Guangqi devoted his life to the study of mathematics, astronomy, calendar, water conservancy, etc., and wrote diligently, especially proficient in agriculture, and translated books such as "Geometric Originals", "Taixi Water Law", and "The Complete Book of Agricultural Administration".

He knows everything about making guns and cannons, and it can be said that Xu Guangqi is a great scientist of this era, who has studied both Chinese and Western.

What is it?

This is a rare talent!

For such talents, how can Zhu Youxiao not use them?

went home to recuperate, Zhu Youxiao knew very well why Xu Guangqi wanted to go home to recuperate.

In the forty-seventh year of Wanli, the Ming army was defeated in the Battle of Salhu, and Xu Guangqi repeatedly asked for military training, and was later promoted to Shao Zhan Shi and Henan Provincial Imperial History, supervising the training of the new army in Tongzhou. However, due to difficulties in the supply of military salaries and equipment, the training plan did not go smoothly.

To put it bluntly, no one looks down on him, no one supports him, the court is busy with party fighting, who has the heart to deal with an old man who wants to train soldiers?

Xu Guangqi was already disheartened at this time and couldn't speak, so he could only go back to Tianjin to recuperate.

Why is Tianjin not Shanghai? Because Xu Guangqi was in the forty-first year of Wanli, in the early winter, due to disagreements with some ministers in the DPRK and China, Xu Guangqi went to Tianjin due to illness.

He opened canals to grow rice in Fangshan and Laishui counties, carried out various agricultural experiments, and successively wrote books such as "Reclamation Order", "Draft of Agricultural Books", and "Northern Cultivation Records", which laid the foundation for the compilation of "The Complete Book of Agricultural Administration".

Since I can't be loyal to the country, then I'd better write a book!

This is Xu Guangqi's idea.
