Six hundred and twenty-seven Bright Heart
Governing the country and saving the country, practicing it, thinking of Xu Guangqi's deeds of trying his best to save the crisis when the building was about to collapse at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Xiao Ruxun really admires this person.
Xu Guangqi, he always seems to dare to do something that others dare not do.
At that time, when the Chinese Celestial Empire despised all barbarism, Xu Guangqi embraced Catholicism with his entire family, which also led more than 20,000 people in the entire Shanghai area to join, which can be said to be the greatest victory since the first eastward crossing of the missionaries, and also the greatest victory achieved by Matteo Ricci.
Xu Guangqi established contacts with the missionaries and also established contacts with foreigners in Macao and Nanyang, mediated the import of foreigners' firearms to the Ming Dynasty in the DPRK and China, and was one of the first military strategists to propose the use of advanced firearms against Nurhachi.
He recognized some of the shortcomings and backwardness of China's existing technical means compared with Western ones, so he and Matteo Ricci, a rare sinologist, successfully translated the earliest Western scientific monograph in Chinese history.
No matter from which point of view, Xu Guangqi is worthy of his name - Guangqi, the opening of light.
He has a bright heart and does what he can to do things.
For hundreds of years, no one could achieve the level of cooperation achieved with Matteo Ricci and Xu Guangqi, until the outbreak of the Opium War, the large-scale eastward migration of foreigners, and the subsequent Westernization movement of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
In a sense, this model of cooperation goes beyond the alliance between Xu Guangqi and Matteo Ricci, but it comes at the cost of the fall of an ancient country.
Xu Guangqi's existence was a ray of hope for the independent birth of China in the Ming Dynasty, although this dawn did not bring the dawn in the end, but he did exist in that era, leaving hope for that era, and also brought endless enlightenment to modern China.
Xu Guangqi has been trapped in party struggle all his life, but he has tried his best to do practical work in the environment of party struggle, and he is a doer no less than Wang Shouren.
However, the loss of control and violence of civil officials in the late Ming Dynasty finally ruined this hard-won dawn, and the earliest awakened intellectuals in China led by Xu Guangqi finally failed to save the Ming Dynasty and China, but let China fall into the deepest darkness before the dawn without a trace of light, and made the arrival of the dawn three hundred years late.
It's amazing, just now, the darkness and the dawn gathered together, Xu Guangqi and Nurhachi faced each other, but there was no spark.
It's really amazing.
But now Xu Guangqi has the idea of wanting to follow him, which makes him very happy, if such a real doer joins the system of Myanmar Town, he will definitely be able to shine.
So Xiao Ruxun hopes that Xu Guangqi can go to Myanmar to find Yuan Huang.
"Mr. Xu, I can't give you the answer you want to know directly, as you said yourself, you have to practice and come up with this answer by yourself, the answer I got belongs to me, and the answer you come up with belongs to you."
Xu Guangqi was silent for a while.
"Does the governor mean that we have different ways, so we don't conspire with each other?"
"No, I mean to say, our Tao can be the same, but, you have your way, I have mine, our Tao can't be exactly the same, but our purpose can be exactly the same, we all want to save the country, but you are a literati, I am a martial artist, our path can't be the same, what you can do, I can't do, and what I can do, you can't do it."
Xiao Ruxun said it thoroughly.
"Governor Xiao thinks I'm a defenseless literati, so I shouldn't come here?"
Xu Guangqi heard what Xiao Ruxun meant.
"Yes, it's very dangerous here, you may die at any time, I don't know how many tens of thousands of northern captives I have to face, but as a soldier, I only have the Northern Expedition to go, and you are different, you are a literati, you have no need to fight, if you are willing to serve me, I promise, you can go to Myanmar now, find Mr. Yuan Huang."
Xiao Ruxun didn't know why Xu Guangqi wanted to come to Datong to find him, but he knew that in this precarious place, even he couldn't guarantee that he would get out, let alone Xu Guangqi.
If Xu Guangqi is gone, it will really be a big loss for Da Ming and him, in his opinion, Xu Guangqi should focus on the transformation of science and technology and the governance of the country, there is such a person who has the spirit of studying science and technology, the science and technology tree that Xiao Ruxun is trying to climb should get a great speed bonus, and his original intention of looking for Xu Guangqi is to reduce the pressure on Yuan Huang.
Yuan Huang is over seventy years old, and he is responsible for the myriad government affairs of Myanmar alone, and he can still share one or two of them when he was there before, but now that he is not there, how hard should Yuan Huang work alone?
Chen Longzheng don't talk about it, this guy doesn't make trouble for Yuan Huang.
The addition of Xu Guangqi will be an important symbol for Myanmar Town to enter a new period of development.
Of course, the premise is that Xu Guangqi is willing to go to Burma Town.
Obviously, Xu Guangqi was not very satisfied.
"Governor Xiao, although Guangqi is a literati, he is also a person who has traveled thousands of miles and seen a lot of things, he is also a man, not a woman, in the face of a strong enemy, the governor dares to go on a northern expedition, don't I Xu Guangqi dare? Who said that literati must not fight? Are there still few literati who can fight in the Ming Dynasty? ”
Xiao Ruxun smiled helplessly.
"Mr. Xu's talent should be used more to govern the country, I fought on the battlefield, Mr. Xu also fought in the officialdom, the same way, if you want to strengthen the country, a literature and a martial arts are the right and left hands of people, indispensable, you also saw the flintlock, that is the condensation of countless officials and craftsmen, in the rear, it is also a war."
Xu Guangqi shook his head.
"If you can't practice it, you can't really understand some things, the governor's way, Guangqi also wants to understand the perception of practice, and then, Guangqi may get new insights, please Governor!"
Xiao Ruxun sighed.
"Okay, if you insist on this, Ben Du is not reluctant, you can stay in the army and make a praise painting for Ben Du!"
Xu Guangqi happily accepted the order.
"I am willing to serve the governor, by the way, Governor Xiao, there are more than 20,000 Han people in Huairen County in front of the army who have been captured and enslaved by the northern captives, and I implore the governor to send troops to save those Han people!"
When Xu Guangqi said this, Xiao Ruxun remembered.
"Mr. Xu, you just said, where did you escape from?"
Xu Guangqi nodded hurriedly.
"The subordinates secretly went out of the pass from Pingxingguan, and after arriving in Datong, they went all the way to Datong City, but they encountered several groups of northern cavalry on the way, and they escaped three times, and they were arrested before they dodged the fourth time, but fortunately, the Han people I met in Huairen County knew that I was a lifter, so they worked together to help me escape, and let me come to the army to save people."
