Chapter 625 Heart of Light
Ruxun Xiao really admired this man when he thought of Xu Guangqi's deeds of trying his best to save the crisis when the building was about to collapse in the late Ming Dynasty.

Xu Guangqi, he seems to always dare to do things that others dare not do.

At that time, in the era when the Huaxia Dynasty despised all barbarians, Xu Guangqi took his entire family to believe in Catholicism, which also led to the joining of more than [-] people from the entire Shanghai area. It can be said that it was the first time for missionaries to travel eastward. It is the biggest victory ever, and it is also the biggest victory that Matteo Ricci has achieved.

Xu Guangqi established contact with missionaries, and also established contact with foreigners in Macao and Nanyang. He mediated between North Korea and China to import foreign firearms to Daming. He was one of the military strategists who first proposed to use advanced foreign firearms to fight Nurhachi.

He realized that China's existing technological means were insufficient and backward compared with Western technological means, so together with Matteo Ricci, a rare sinologist, he successfully translated the earliest Western scientific monograph in Chinese history.

No matter from which angle you look at it, Xu Guangqi is worthy of his name——Guangqi, the enlightenment of light.

He upholds a bright heart and tries his best to do things to the best of his ability.

In the hundreds of years since then, no one has been able to achieve the height of cooperation with Matteo Ricci and Xu Guangqi. Until the outbreak of the Opium War, foreigners migrated eastward on a large scale, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty also launched the Westernization Movement.

In a sense, this kind of cooperation surpassed the cooperation between Xu Guangqi and Matteo Ricci, but at the cost of the sinking of an ancient country.

The existence of Xu Guangqi was a ray of hope for the independent birth of China in the Ming Dynasty. Although this ray of light failed to bring dawn in the end, he did exist in that era, left hope for that era, and brought modern China a new era. endless revelations.

Xu Guangqi was trapped in party struggles all his life, but he tried his best to achieve practical work under the environment of party struggles. He is a doer no less than Wang Shouren.

However, the out-of-control and rampage of civil officials in the late Ming Dynasty finally ruined this hard-won dawn. The earliest awakened intellectuals in China headed by Xu Guangqi failed to save Daming and China, but let China fall into the The deepest darkness before the dawn without a ray of light made the arrival of the dawn 300 years late.

It is strange that just now, the darkness and the dawn came together, and 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 join him, which makes him very happy. If such a real doer joins the Myanmar town system, he will definitely shine brightly.

So Xiao Ruxun hoped that Xu Guangqi could go to Myanmar to find Yuan Huang.

"Mr. Xu, I can't give you the answer you want to know directly. As you said, you have to practice yourself to find the answer yourself. The answer I got belongs to me. The answers you come up with are your own."

Xu Guangqi was silent for a while.

"What does the governor mean to say that we have different ways, so we don't conspire with each other?"

"No, what I mean is that our Tao can be the same, but you have your Tao and I have mine. Our Tao cannot be exactly the same, but our purpose can be exactly the same. We both want to save the country , but you are a literati and I am a warrior, our paths cannot be the same, what you can do, I can’t do, and what I can do, you can’t do either.”

Xiao Ruxun spoke clearly.

"Governor Xiao thinks that I am a defenseless literati, so I shouldn't come here?"

Xu Guangqi heard what Xiao Ruxun meant.

"Yes, it's very dangerous here, and 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 can only go through the Northern Expedition, but you are different. You are a literati. You don't need to fight, if you are willing to serve me, I promise, you can go to Myanmar now to find Mr. Yuanhuang."

Xiao Ruxun didn't know why Xu Guangqi wanted to come to Datong to find himself, but he knew that in this precarious place, even he couldn't guarantee that he would escape unscathed, let alone Xu Guangqi.

If Xu Guangqi is gone, it will really be a great loss for Daming 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 Existence, the technology tree that Xiao Ruxun is trying to climb should get a great speed bonus, and his original intention to find Xu Guangqi is to relieve Yuan Huang's pressure.

Yuan Huang is more than 70 years old, and he is responsible for the intricate government affairs of Myanmar. He used to share some of the burden with him when he was there, but now that he is not here, how can Yuan Huang work hard alone?
Let's not talk about Chen Longzheng, as long as this guy doesn't cause trouble to Yuan Huang.

The joining of Xu Guangqi will be an important symbol that Myanmar Town has entered a new development period.

Of course, the premise is that Xu Guangqi is willing to go to Burma Town.

Obviously, Xu Guangqi was not satisfied.

"Governor Xiao, although Guangqi is a literati, he is also a man who has seen a lot of things after traveling thousands of miles. He is also a man, not a woman. Facing a strong enemy, the governor dared to make the Northern Expedition. Wouldn't I, Xu Guangqi, dare not? Who said Literati must not fight wars? Are there not many literati who can fight wars in Ming Dynasty?"

Xiao Ruxun smiled helplessly.

"Mr. Xu's talents should be used more in governing the country. I fought on the battlefield, and Mr. Xu also fought in the officialdom. Both routes lead to the same goal. If we want to make the country strong, we need both the civil and the military. When I saw that flintlock, it was the hard work of countless officials and craftsmen, and in the rear, it was also fighting."

Xu Guangqi shook his head.

"If you can't practice it yourself, you won't be able to truly understand certain things. Guangqi also wants to understand the governor's way. Then, Guangqi may gain new insights. Please governor!"

Xiao Ruxun sighed.

"Okay, if you insist on this, the governor will not force you, so you can stay in the army and make a picture of praise for the governor!"

Xu Guangqi gladly accepted the order.

"I would like to serve the governor. By the way, Governor Xiao, there are more than [-] Han people in Huairen County in front of the army who have been captured and enslaved by the North. I implore the governor to send troops to rescue those Han people!"

When Xu Guangqi said this, Xiao Ruxun remembered it.

"Mr. Xu, you just said, where did you escape from?"

Xu Guangqi nodded quickly.

"My subordinates sneaked out of Pingxing Pass, and after arriving in Datong, they headed all the way to Datong City. As a result, they encountered several groups of Beilu cavalry raiders on the way. They escaped three times, and they were arrested after not escaping the fourth time. Fortunately, the Han people I met in Huairen County knew that I was a Juren, so they helped me escape and asked me to come to the army to save people."
