[Chapter 224] Iron-bone, Zuoguangdou!
[Chapter 224] The iron-bone Zuo Guangdou!
(0224)
【Today's third update is delivered!】
Hu Yan Aobo said, "It's just that His Majesty the Emperor doesn't want to care about it, it's a troublesome thing! Who do you think if His Majesty the Emperor doesn't want to deal with it, will he hand over this matter to? If the matter is handed over to the hands of the Chief Assistant Fang, can you get out easily? Chief Assistant Fang is said to be a person who is not easy to talk to!"
Xu Xingxia frowned and said nothing. Well, I must admit that at this time, we cannot act voluntarily. Although there is no professional diplomatic relationship in this era, as long as it involves affairs between countries, it is not a trivial matter. In addition, Fang Congzhe is indeed not easy to talk to.
Khorasan may be a small country, so Fang Congzhe would not care too much. However, the Ottoman Empire should not be underestimated. By the way, the Lumi gun used by the Ming army was a copy of the Ottoman Turkish Empire! Fang Congzhe would never offend the Ottoman Empire for a small household. In other words, if Sawanna really made solemn representations, Xu Xingxia would still suffer.
Of course, Xu Xingxia would never be afraid because of this. It would be impossible for her to act as a mighty man in the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Her subordinates must also accept the punishment of the Ming Dynasty. As for her, she should treat her with courtesy for the time being.
After pondering for a moment, Xu Xingxia remembered another thing and asked casually: "By the way, who is the prefect of Ningxia? It is said that the person has been replaced? Who is the new one?"
To strictly implement the Ming Dynasty law, the Ningxia prefect is one of the most critical factors. If he catches someone and turns around and releases him, everything will be useless. Such examples are really common. The greed of civil servants in the Ming Dynasty is definitely the best. As long as they have money to collect, there is nothing they dare not do. If Sa Wanna is willing to give two hundred taels of gold, the Ningxia prefect will be too likely to let him go.
Hu Yan Aobo said casually: "It seems that he is called Zuo Guangdou. I have only been here for three or four months, and I am not very familiar with it. Ordinary prefects will take the initiative to visit the prince after they arrive in Ningxia City and seek the prince's guidance. But Zuo Guangdou has been here for several months and has not been to the palace. It is said that he is in private visits all day long and does not know what he wants to know. I think he doesn't want to do it anymore... Huh? What's your expression?"
It turned out that Xu Xingxia was a little stunned when she didn't hear what happened to him. There was no way, he heard a very familiar, loud and shocking name! This name was definitely famous in the history of the late Ming Dynasty!
Zuo Guangdou!
Zuo Guangdou, known as the iron-clad one, is a strong man!
God, Zuo Guangdou actually went to Ningxia City to become the prefect!
I don’t know if it was because of his arrival that slightly changed the trajectory of history or the development of history. This was what happened. Xu Xingxia could not tell. He did not know much about Zuo Guangdou’s life experience before he was imprisoned. It is probably not easy to investigate whether Zuo Guangdou had ever served in Ningxia Town. In short, the current situation is that Zuo Guangdou came to Ningxia City and became the prefect of Ningxia City.
The main reason why I have never heard of Zuo Guangdou's arrival is that the official position in Ningxia Town is indeed strange. Most areas of Ningxia Town are military households, which are under the jurisdiction of the garrison army or warriors. The prefect is in charge of the civilian households. Only Ningxia City and its surrounding areas have more civilian households. Therefore, in the entire Ningxia Town, there is only one magistrate's yamen, that is, the Ningxia magistrate's yamen.
But the functions of this prefect government office are seriously overlapping with those of the Ningxia governor. Under the light of the Ningxia governor, basically no one will notice the existence of the Ningxia governor. Generally speaking, major matters are directly managed by the governor, and they are all trivial matters when they are divided into the prefect. It can be said that the Ningxia governor is purely a place to get acquainted. In the past, Ningxia governors basically drank tea and basked in the sun every day, and a day passed.
However, the name Zuo Guangdou is so loud and shocking. Even the sudden appearance of Yuan Chonghuan made Xu Xingxia surprised. Wei Zhongxian, Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou... Who could forget these names in the history of the late Ming Dynasty? It is that gold always shines. Xu Xingxia feels that the name Zuo Guangdou will soon be circulated in Ningxia Town.
"Guard Xu, I'm here."
"See if I dress like this?"
While talking, the little princess had already come out. She wanted to learn how to shoot archery, she seemed to wear a white archery uniform, tied a silver-gray belt, and tied her petite body hard. At first glance, she looked a little heroic. Behind her, there were two maids, hurriedly following behind. They were two, one holding a bent bow and the other holding an arrow. It was estimated that the little princess was so excited that she had to practice archery. The maids around her were frightened and probably were too busy again.
"Ho, Guard Xu, you are busy, you are busy, I will come to you again if you have something to do." Hu Yan Aobo found that the little princess appeared, and immediately felt something was wrong and slipped away quietly.
"This cunning guy." Xu Xingxia frowned quietly.
With Huyan Aobo's archery technique, there is no problem in teaching the little princess to shoot archery. However, the little princess is unwilling to learn from him. There must be something strange about it. The little princess is not willing to learn archery techniques because she is young and handsome! The aura of domineering is a little too serious.
Since the little princess has arrived and has brought a bow and arrow, Xu Xingxia can't help but refuse to give her guidance. He had to take the little princess to the shooting range next to her, waved her hand, and let the two maids move the target within a distance of five meters. He also taught the little princess seriously how to stand, bend the bow, put the arrow, pull the strings hard, and how to let go.
The little princess used it was probably a bow, which looked quite delicate, but unfortunately it had no power. The arrows she used were also the slenderest, and they were also light and had no lethality. As a little girl, how much strength can you expect her to have? In fact, in the society at that time, women were more popular with throwing pots, which was a game similar to archery. It seemed that the little princess really pulled the bow and shot archery, which was a little different.
"Swoosh!"
The little princess couldn't wait to let go.
The slender arrow shot out shakingly.
“It’s too urgent…”
Xu Xingxia said subconsciously with a frown.
He originally thought that the arrow shot by the little princess would definitely deviate from the side. Unexpectedly, by accident, the little princess really shot. The shaking arrow hit the edge of the target and then fell down. Strictly speaking, this was not a hit, but it just barely hit the target, which could not count at all. However, considering that the little princess was taking action, then...
"Oh, I shot! I shot!"
The little princess was so happy to find that the arrow she shot out hit the target. She didn't care about the distance of five feet or how far it was. She wouldn't care whether her arrow was really shot or hit the target. In short, it was a great joy to be able to hit the target. Her vanity was greatly satisfied.
"Come again!"
Xu Xingxia encouraged.
"OK!"
The little princess is excited and comes back if you are obedient.
As a result, she shot five arrows in a row, and three of them hit the target, and one almost hit the bull's eye. Although the distance between the target and her was only five feet short, within reach. However, such results are quite good for the underage girl archer.
This inevitably made Xu Xingxia think wildly. Could it be that the little princess' mother is also an excellent archer with excellent archer talent? Part of her talent has been inherited from the little princess?
"Come again!"
Xu Xingxia said in a deep voice.
Since the little princess is willing to learn, Xu Xingxia will give advice.
After half a day, the little princess actually mastered three points of archery skills.
If it weren't for the lack of innate power, her archery skills would have been improved a little bit. Unfortunately, due to her physical conditions, her archery skills could only be used for viewing and showing off among women. It would be impossible to become a real archer. From the perspective of Xu Xingxia, it is impossible to let a female archer run to the battlefield to kill the enemy. That is not a shame for the enemy, but a shame for yourself!
The little princess shot six arrows in a row, and was a little tired. She handed the bow and arrow to her maid, pouted and said, "Guard Xu, you can shoot an arrow too, show me."
Xu Xingxia shook her head and said, "My arrows are murderous, what's the best thing?"
The little princess pointed to a group of geese in the sky and said expectantly: "You said, are there any frightened birds inside? Guard Xu, pull your bowstrings to see if it works!"
Xu Xingxia looked at a row of geese in the sky. It was September now, and the climate was getting colder, and the geese flew south one after another. He took off the Long Xiang bow, pulled the bowstring vigorously, and then let go of his hand gently. As a result, a muffled sound came out. Only in the sky, there was actually a geese struggling in a swaying flapping, as if it was about to fall off.
Just as the little princess was full of expectations, the wild goose, which seemed to be a frightened bird, flapped its wings and flew upwards. Soon, it returned to the geese's team and flew south together, and finally disappeared from the little princess's sight.
"No."
Xu Xingxia shook her head and said.
The little princess couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"Guard Xu, I'm afraid there's a little trouble."
Hu Yan Aobo suddenly appeared and said with a serious expression.
Chapter completed!
