"Uncle Xu, when Su Baihu came to the capital this time, it was not an order from his military subordinates, but an imperial edict from the emperor." Chen Dao chuckled and said to Xu Guangzu. His attitude when talking to Xu Guangzu was both respectful and a little bit...
Casually, it really sounds like chatting with the elders in the family.
Xu Guangzu looked at Su Hao and asked, "Why, even the emperor knows about this map drawing?"
Su Hao didn't know Xu Guangzu's attitude, so he could only pretend to be deaf and dumb, and said: "This little nephew can't figure it out. Master Chen is the one who makes the decision all the way. My nephew is just following Master Chen everywhere. He is confused and confused."
Brought to the capital."
"Haha, you young man is so cunning in your words. No wonder the map you invented is so clever." Xu Guangzu commented.
Chen Dao briefly introduced the whole story to Xu Guangzu. When he mentioned that Su Hao used his skill to flood Yang Yinglong's 5,000 elite soldiers, Xu Guangzu couldn't help but clapped his hands and applauded, and looked at Su Hao a few more times.
He was very appreciative. When Chen Dao finished speaking, Xu Guangzu nodded and said: "He is indeed an extraordinary talent, but it would be a pity to let that eunuch be dragged over and used. A good man should serve on the battlefield, how can he spend all day long?
Hang out with those guys who are neither men nor women."
Su Hao smiled bitterly and said: "Uncle Xu, this is not because I want to associate with the eunuch on purpose. There are actually many things that I can't help myself with. However, the main reason why my nephew met the eunuch Li Long was because of the mining matter. This mining matter,
It can be regarded as serious business even if it is forced."
"Well, I understand." Xu Guangzu said. He turned to Chen Dao and said: "Xiao Chen, you have to be bold to grab talents like this. Go back and talk to Wang Shangshu, and ask him to make sure to grab it."
This young man came to the Ministry of War. Isn’t he just greedy for glory and wealth? It’s really not feasible for the Ministry of War to grant him a thousand households. I think he deserves to be appointed as a commander. I think he deserves it based on his merits.”
Chen Dao was obviously somewhat immune to Xu Guangzu's bold words. He agreed obediently and at the same time kept winking at Su Hao, meaning that Su Hao should not make any excuses. Xu Guangzu said a few words, probably feeling happy.
Then he stood up and said, "I'm going to settle the soldiers, and you two can continue chatting."
After saying that, he walked out of the house. After a while, his curses were heard in the yard, probably scolding a certain soldier of the survey camp. Chen Dao smiled at Su Hao and said, "This old man
, His temper is like this, don’t be offended if he changes it. However, he is an absolutely good person, and it will be more comfortable for you to live here than anywhere else."
Su Hao asked strangely: "Brother Chen, who is this old man? Why do I think he is more arrogant than the Minister of War?"
Chen Daodao: "This old man was a personal soldier of Xu Shangshu of the Ministry of War earlier. He saved Xu Shangshu's life on the battlefield, so Xu Shangshu arranged for him to be assigned to the Ministry of War as a casual job. The old man was enthusiastic about work and had rich battlefield experience.
Therefore, the Ministry of War had to ask him to advise on many things. After going back and forth, he became familiar with everyone, and everyone respectfully called him Uncle Xu. After Wang Shangshu took office, he drank with him several times, and the relationship was very close. What about you?
After the contour map was brought to the capital, Uncle Xu was the first to discover its value."
"Uh..." Su Hao was speechless. There were so many knowledgeable people in the Ministry of War, but it was such a veteran who first discovered the value of contour maps. Su Hao really didn't know what to say.
Chen Dao had been away from Beijing for more than half a year and finally came back. He was anxious to go back and reunite with his family, so he simply told Su Hao a few words and left in a hurry. Su Hao saw Chen Dao off and returned to the yard.
, looked at Xu Guangzu with a smile as he taught the soldiers of Kanyu Camp:
"Go give me a good wash. I don't know how many fleas and lice I picked up along the way!"
"The weapons have been laid out for me, and they must be arranged neatly. To be a soldier, you must act like a soldier. Bear soldiers like you, in our day, would have been knocked down with a baton!"
"Who is it? What happened to the hand? Why didn't you apply medicine to the injury? Do you still want that hand? Come to my room, I have good medicine for the injury!"
"..."
Xu Guangzu cursed all the way, and from time to time he would raise his leg and kick someone on the butt. The soldiers in Kanyu camp were a little uncomfortable at first, but they soon accepted the veteran's special enthusiasm, and started to speak one by one.
I called him Uncle Xu. The old man was beaming with joy. During dinner, he took out the fine wine that he had collected for many years and shared it with everyone.
"Su Baihu, what is our mission when we come to the capital?"
After dinner, Deng Kui came to Su Hao's room and asked him.
Su Hao shook his head and said: "How do I know? Maybe the emperor wanted to see us on a whim, take a look and then send us back to Yunnan."
"No way?" Deng Kui said with wide eyes, "Isn't this just for entertainment?"
Su Hao smiled and said: "I am the emperor, so why am I entertaining you?"
Deng Kui knew that Su Hao didn't understand the purpose of his trip, so he stopped asking and just said: "Su Baihu, we have arrived in the capital now, and we don't know when the emperor will summon us. The subordinates were thinking,
It’s not good for us to just sit around and do nothing. Do we still need to train our troops?”
"That's true." Su Hao said, "This battle with Yang Yinglong's troops in Bozhou still shows that our combat effectiveness is insufficient. You and Hao Tong are both good fighters, but our soldiers are not very good. Four or five people can deal with Pi Yuan."
It's not okay for one of Fu's subordinates to still not be able to take advantage."
Deng Kui said: "My subordinates think so too, so I plan to let everyone continue to practice martial arts starting from tomorrow."
"I agree." Su Hao said, "You will be solely responsible for the training."
Deng Kui whispered: "Su Baihu, I want to invite old man Xu to be our team's instructor. Do you think so?"
"Old man Xu?" Su Hao was a little puzzled, "How could you have such an idea?"
Deng Kui said: "Actually, Hao Tong and I are not very good at Kung Fu. We can only say that we are a little better than ordinary people. We train soldiers, and the soldiers we train are only half a bucket of water. I observed Old Man Xu during the day.
I found that although he is old, he is very agile, so he should be a martial artist, and the kung fu he practices is authentic kung fu for fighting and killing enemies."
"Is his kung fu better than yours?" Su Hao asked. During the day, he only noticed that Xu Guangzu was in good health and had a bit of energy, but he couldn't tell what his kung fu was.
Deng Kui said: "I didn't pay attention at first. Later, I didn't know what I said wrongly, and he wanted to kick my ass. Do you think, how can I be kicked so easily? Look at his kick.
I flashed my body, guess what?"
"What's wrong?" Su Hao asked.
"I didn't move out of the way," Deng Kui said gloomily, "and when old man Xu noticed that I was dodging, he kicked me a little harder, and he kicked me so hard that I didn't fall down."
"Is this happening?" Su Hao was amused. He remembered that Chen Dao had told him that Xu Guangzu had saved another Minister of War named Xu on the battlefield, and was then recruited to the Ministry of War as a casual job. Also,
It is said that his battlefield experience is so rich that he is invited to participate in many matters of the Ministry of War. Even the newly arrived Minister of War, Wang Yi'e, had a drink with him. If you think about it carefully, if he does not have some special skills, I am afraid
He wouldn't have been so prosperous in the Ministry of War.
"Such an old man, would he be happy if you asked him to be your tutor?" Su Hao thought of another question.
"I have a way." Deng Kui chuckled. Despite his reckless nature, he still had some tricks up his sleeve at critical moments. Su Hao didn't bother to ask what his method was.
Early the next morning, I don't know what kind of soup Deng Kui poured into Xu Guangzu. Mr. Xu actually changed into a bundt and taught martial arts to the soldiers in the Kanyu Camp. Su Hao observed from the side and found that
Xu Guangzu indeed had some skills. The fighting skills he taught the soldiers were very different from those taught by Hao Tong and Deng Kui before. They were all moves that looked very simple, but were extremely powerful when used.
Of course, it is not easy for the soldiers in Kanyu Camp to learn these skills. In one morning, everyone has been kicked on the butt several times by the old man. As Deng Kui said, there is really no one who Xu Guangzu wants to kick.
People can escape.
"Does Su Baihu from Jiangxi live here?"
Su Hao was watching the training with great interest when he suddenly heard someone asking questions outside the door. He stepped to the door and saw a young eunuch standing outside the door, saying something to the soldiers of Kanyu Camp guarding the door.
"Su Baihu, this little lady... my little father-in-law said he wants to find you." The soldier saw Su Hao and reported quickly. He didn't pay much attention when he spoke and almost called him a little eunuch. In fact, the word eunuch is also
It is not a derogatory term. In the inner palace, only the first-in-command of each eunuch can be called eunuch, and the second-in-command can only be called young eunuch. The minions below have no status.
"This is Su Baihu, I guess. The young one is an errand under Eunuch Li. His name is Jiang Di. He was ordered by Eunuch Li to deliver a message to Su Baihu." The young eunuch said to Su Hao respectfully.
.
"Oh, thank you for your hard work, little father-in-law." Su Hao took the name card from the little eunuch and casually rewarded the little eunuch with a few big bucks. The little eunuch didn't mind that the money was small and accepted it happily.
"My Eunuch Li hosted a banquet at Defu Tower at noon today and invited Su Baihu to come to the banquet," the young eunuch said.
"Where is this Defu Building?" Su Hao asked. Even though he had lived in Beijing for many years in his previous life, when he returned to the Ming Dynasty, he still had a dark eye. Who knew where this Defu Building was located.
The little eunuch gestured with his hands and told Su Hao about the location of Defu Building, first to the north, then to the east, to the two alleys and then to the south. In other words, Su Hao had been studying cartography for more than a year.
I have developed my spatial imagination ability, otherwise I would have been said to have fainted.
"Please tell Eunuch Li that Su Hao will arrive on time. I would like to thank Eunuch Li for his kindness in advance." Su Hao said. (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
