If you don't say it, Hu Guang explained himself so solemnly, if he met him again one day, it would be difficult to explain.

But if you say it, it seems a little unbelievable. After all, there is still almost a year before the end of next year, and no one knows what will happen in the middle. I don't know how Hu Guang got this conclusion?

John Tang remembered Hu Guang's serious expression when he explained himself, and remembered that he even suggested that he could say it in the name of God, obviously desperately hoping that he would convey this prophecy.

But this kind of thing cannot be said in the name of God, otherwise it will not be good for the missionary cause if it is not allowed.

Thinking like this, there was a look of hesitation on his face, and he happened to be seen by Xu Guangqi. I only heard him ask Tang Ruowang: "What, what do you think of Hu Guang again?" ”

After asking, he hurriedly added: "The old man said that everything should be said okay. With such a genius and being able to pity the people, it must be used by the imperial court! ”

When Tang Ruowang heard this, he remembered that with Hu Guang's ability, he would definitely be able to become an official of the Ming Dynasty when he entered Beijing one day. It's not easy to offend someone who has the ability like this.

Thinking of this, he made up his mind, looked at Xu Guangqi and said: "Paul, there is another matter, on the occasion of parting, he explained it to me very solemnly, and asked me to send a letter to the high-ranking officials of the imperial court or His Majesty the Emperor. It's just that what he said is really incredible, so I'm a little hesitant to say it. ”

"Oh?" Xu Guangqi was a little surprised, and immediately pointed his finger at Tang Ruowang, and commanded in an unquestionable tone: "Speak, such a genius, I'm afraid there are amazing words, tell me quickly!" ”

Tang Ruowang was a little caught up in memories, imitating Hu Guang's unusually serious tone at that time: "At the end of next year." The Jianyu in the northeast will detour through the Mongolian steppe and attack the pass from near Jizhen, so the imperial court must strengthen its precautions, and don't let the Jianyu succeed! ”

"What?" When Xu Guangqi heard this, he immediately stood up from his seat and stared at Tang Ruowang. Lost voice.

Seeing this, Tang Ruowang was shocked in his heart, and immediately added: "He also said that the Jianju outside the Guanguan are a group of truly uncivilized barbarians, they are extremely vicious, and if they attack the land of Gyeonggi, countless people will suffer. ”

After finishing speaking, he wanted to use Xu Guangqi's personality as a matter of life and death for countless people. He would probably have gone to tell his emperor. After all, he was indeed very shocked after hearing it.

Who knew that he was wrong, only to hear Xu Guangqi suddenly laugh, laughing so inexplicably that Tang Ruowang laughed. According to his understanding, Xu Guangqi is one of the most worried about the country and the people among the Ming Dynasty officials he has seen, so he would not be indifferent, otherwise he would not have been so surprised before.

After Xu Guangqi had laughed enough, he saw Tang Ruowang's expression. He explained with a smile: "When a scholar talks, he will only speak wildly. Not to be believed, not to be believed! ”

Originally, Tang Ruowang didn't care much about the state affairs of the Ming Dynasty, but when he saw Xu Guangqi like this, he remembered Hu Guang's unusually serious expression, and couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Why do you say that?" Hu Guang was very serious at that time. ”

The corners of Xu Guangqi's mouth twitched slightly, and he smiled lightly: "He is not familiar with the affairs of the imperial court. The old man will tell you! ”

At this point, he stood up, walked to the other side of the study, took out a long stick from the corner of the wall, and pointed to the map on the wall and said, "Come and see." Liaodong Jianyu is currently active in this area, and our Ming official army is in this area. Here, there is Mao Wenlong's general army guarding Dongjiang Town, and here, it is the new governor Yuan Chonghuan guarding it, one east and one west, containing Liaodong Jianyu, you say, can they have the opportunity to detour through the Mongolian steppe and come to attack the land of Gyeonggi? ”

When Xu Guangqi first heard it, he was indeed shocked, this statement was too alarmist. If that happens, the consequences are unimaginable!

However, he immediately remembered the current situation, and naturally knew that it was impossible, so he immediately burst out laughing.

After he finished explaining, seeing that Tang Ruowang suddenly realized, he added another item: "You must know that in July this year, Inspector Yuan responded to the platform and promised His Majesty that it would be five years of Pingliao. It can be seen from this that it is still difficult for Liaodong to build a captive to protect itself, and it is simply nonsense to want to make a detour to attack the land of Gyeonggi! ”

John Tang was a little embarrassed to be said, and secretly said in his heart that he was fortunate that he did not pretend to be God's mouth, otherwise God's prestige would inevitably be damaged, which is really dangerous!

He smiled wryly and responded to Xu Guangqi: "Fortunately, Paul was wise and didn't listen to one side of the story, otherwise I would have been punished by God!" ”

"Hehe, you're just entrusted with loyalty, it's okay!" Xu Guangqi put down the long stick and motioned for Tang Ruowang to walk to the coffee table with him, and said with a smile, "Then Hu Guang doesn't know where it came from, listen to you, you are too young, you speak wildly, and you will come out to do things after a few years of training, or better!" ”

Xu Guangqi had this impression, and his previous eagerness to see Hu Guang faded, and he and Tang Ruowang continued to drink tea and talk about the astronomical calendar. Hu Guang's warning words were naturally discarded.

Hu Guang naturally didn't know about this. At this time, he was standing at the head of the city, sending the "mechanized troops" out of the city again.

There is no need to worry about the Ming army coming to attack the city, the troops can go farther. No, a trip just a few days ago, I gained a lot. In particular, after Hu Guang's emphasis, the troops led by Liu Daneng not only scraped the existing gunpowder in the target villages and towns, but also collected as many ingredients as possible.

However, when attacking villages and towns, it is not as easy as the first time, and you can directly open the gates. Thanks to the artillery unit led by Li Dingguo, who followed and protected it with a shield, and put the unconscionable cannon under the city, a bag of explosives bombarded the wall, and after the deafening sound, the villages and towns could be easily captured.

Li Dingguo learned the theoretical knowledge of firing artillery, and he had non-stop experiments with fake explosive packs, so when he went out to attack the city, he basically did not waste explosives packs.

Hu Guang calculated in his heart that the amount of gunpowder seized in this first trip could basically make up for the gunpowder consumption during the training of the unconscionable cannon. Every time you go out, as long as you can seize more gunpowder than you can pack explosives, you will make money.

Thinking of this, Hu Guang felt regretful in his heart. There was really no way but to use gunpowder so carefully. Really, the explosives pack is too gunpowder-intensive!

In the future, when there are more flintlock muskets, you will have to start musket training, and you don't know how much gunpowder you have to consume to train an elite with a flintlock pistol as the mainstay.

Hu Guang picked and picked, but the place where gunpowder was to be spent was by no means ambiguous. With that in mind, he went to check the preparations for the New Year in four days.

Hu Guang is ready to take out part of his savings and let all the soldiers of the Heavenly Army have a good year. We Chinese are like this, no matter whether we have money or not, we always have to eat well on this meal in the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

Hu Guang didn't know that when he was about to give everyone a good New Year, the "mechanized" troops also gave him a big red envelope! (To be continued......)
