Chapter 6: Mentoring (2)
When something happens, you always have to face it, and Ding Yi didn't mess up because of this, but just taught the young man of Black Lightning, and took Zhu Yong and the staff officer of the combat section of the dragoon brigade to the rainforest tribe to learn about the situation of the natives. Because it is necessary for them to know what kind of civilization the people of Africa and the Americas will be in if they enter the Age of Discovery.
And Ding Yi himself was locked in the house, thinking about it for several days, and a soldier came to report in the middle, that little giant-like black boulder, kneeling at the door of the concession and asking to see Ding Yi, at first Ding Yi ignored him, how could there be inexplicable who wanted to see him and went to receive him? Later, it wasn't until Ding Yi sorted out his thoughts that he heard that the little giant had been kneeling for a few days, but now he couldn't kneel, and he was severely dehydrated, so that he was paralyzed directly at the entrance of the concession, and was moved aside by the soldiers and fed some water, but he was a little better and knelt again.
"What the hell are you looking for me?" Ding Yi was moved by compassion and came out to ask the little giant.
The black man called the boulder, as soon as he saw Ding come out, opened his thick lips, which were cracked due to dehydration, and looked so good: "There is no salt, Hussein is dead, and there is no salt in the tribe of the boulder!" The boulder gives the nobleman his life, kills people, and begs the nobleman to send salt to the tribe of the boulder! ”
Ding Yi shook his head when he heard this, and said to Li Le: "For such a small matter, you let people kneel for a few days?" Don't do that, go get things done. Li Le is thoughtful, he wants to force this little giant to take the initiative to vote, Hussein was not dead before, he organized several manpower to directly attack the other party's salt caravan, there is a shortage of everything in the concession at this time, but coarse salt is surplus. At this time, he was exposed by Ding Yi, and he was a little embarrassed to drag the little giant to handle it himself.
"Fatty. Gather the heads of the units and immediately convene an enlarged military conference. This cannot be delayed. ”
"Yes! Master. According to Ding Yi's order, Wen Fatzi summoned a number of officers. convened an expanded military conference, not only Huang Xiaoyang, Zhu Yong and others, including Mahmoud, but Morena and Emperor Jing were excluded at first.
Later, Emperor Jing took the initiative to find Ding Yi, and said angrily: "Just entered the wooden bone capital, Rujin used my strategy to survive between several forces, how can I be qualified as a staff officer?" I'm a medic! Why can't military doctors participate? How many hygienists do you want. How many bandages, how many drugs, is there anything stronger than me here? I've read "Treatise on Typhoid Fever" ......"
"Stop! You can prepare for it, and you will be there in a moment. Ding Yi was afraid of him, I have to say that Emperor Jing was still very committed to being a military doctor, and during this period, dozens of black teenagers were trained to be hygienists, and the basic sutures and debridement were basically sutured and debrided, Ding Yi had seen it. It's still very similar, but these black teenagers are not very good at hygiene, and they will subconsciously skip the disinfection of instruments or wounds. Emperor Jing kicked directly with his feet, and after nearly a year, it was a little better. It's not easy.
Mo Rena also asked to participate in the meeting, but her reason was very direct to persuade Ding Yi: "Egypt." I still have some people available. Whether it's information about Mamluk, or local roads, etc. There are many areas where we can work together. ”
As soon as the military meeting was held, almost everyone was persuading Ding Yi, including Mo Rena and Emperor Jing, that Ding Yi should go back to Daming. Fat Man Wen opened his mouth first: "Young Master, if Huaxia is unstable, what is the use of a lonely fleet?" It's still the truth to be outside and secure inside! ”
"Rujin, you don't always care about your own happiness, such a military event, you should still be safe!" Emperor Jing also came to persuade.
Mahmoud even came out and knelt down to Ding Yiyu and said: "I am willing to dedicate all the wooden bones to Daming and follow the master to Huaxia!" ”
"Da Ming will not encroach on the territory of other countries, don't say that in the future, you will know if you ask Po Xiubi." Ding Yi motioned to Cao Jixiang to help Mahmud up, but pointed to the prince of the Arakan Kingdom who came with the fleet, and said to Mahmud, "Unless a foreign country takes the initiative to provoke, otherwise, the peace-loving Chinese will not invade other countries." ”
Po Xiu Biu is also a smart person, so he naturally dragged Mahmoud to his side, and then shared with him after the meeting. It's just that Cao Jixiang and Emperor Jing flattened their mouths together, but Ding Yi has been on the throne for a long time, and he gradually has his own majesty, that is, Emperor Jing, and he only dares to slander and dare not be sarcastic.
At this time, Guo Jin and Zhu Yong came to persuade Ding Yi to return to Huaxia, Ding Yi shook his head, signaling that they didn't have to persuade any more: "It's okay for me to go back to Daming, this is another matter." What we want to discuss today is that if the Mediterranean Fleet does not go to the Mediterranean, what kind of Mediterranean Fleet is it? Bypass the Cape of Good Hope to reach the Mediterranean, or go down to Egypt first, and then build the canal, you decide for yourself. But in the Mediterranean, a fulcrum must be established, otherwise we will not be able to move towards the Americas. Zhu Yong, let you command the dragoon brigade to do this. ”
"Sir, I'm afraid that the disciple will not be able to handle such a heavy burden!" Zhu Yong's face turned white, he is not a child of a poor family or a military household, he is the heir of a general in a border town, and he also attacked his father's title, there is no shortage of blood, but his knowledge is not short. This is thousands of miles to the country, across the ocean, just like a brigade of more than 4,000 soldiers, looking at the American continent drawn by Ding Yi on the chart, which is bigger than the Ming Dynasty, how can this be done? If it is a civilized country, it is not afraid, whether it is to mobilize the masses, export the revolution, or after the conquest, there is a way to think about it, but I heard that the American continent is the same as the indigenous people of the rainforest tribes here, how to educate? He didn't want to be buried in a foreign country at such a young age.
Ding Yi was not surprised, the reason why the personnel who first called Black Lightning in the past few days took Zhu Yong and them to visit the tribe was to give them a foundation, so as not to imagine too beautifully, and after they arrived, they found out that it was such a cruel fact. Hearing Zhu Yong say this, Ding Yi smiled and said: "There are people in Egypt, you can go down to Egypt first, and then train the new army; Didn't the Portuguese colonize Africa do the same? If this is not difficult to do, what is the point of your existence? ”
"But Egypt is so ......big," Zhu Yong lowered his head and muttered in a low voice.
At this time, he saw Huang Xiaoyang on the side stand up and said, "First brother, I apply to speak wild!" ”
Seeing Ding nodding his head and signaling him to him, Huang Xiaoyang said in a thick Cantonese accent: "Surprise the natives? Chirp! If you are obedient, you will teach, and if you are not obedient, you will cut him with a shovel! Then Yongzai, you are on the boat, didn't you still talk to me about the Northeast Jurchen? If you talk about the Jurchens on the left of civilization, you will go to catch the uncivilized Jurchens, and call them the wild fish skin Jurchens, but they are all the same indigenous, and they are not civilized! It's really embarrassing, when we go, let's take the aboriginal fish skin Daming people on duty, catch ......"
Zhu Yong couldn't wait to slap himself twice, the long voyage on the boat was really boring, and Huang Xiaoyang bragged about what he had seen in the border town, who knew that he would take it out at this time? It's really a lot of words, but he still wants to fight for it again: "Sir, otherwise, according to the disciple, Captain Wen is very good at communicating with people, and his language talent is good, so it's better to ......."
The fat man standing on the side looked like he was going to pounce on and bite this guy to death, Zhu Yong didn't want to go, would he Wen someone want to go?
Who is the protagonist of the Age of Discovery? Either bankrupt, or an adventurer, with a family and a business, and who has no taste for sailing, who wants to do this? Huang Xiaoyang is the same as Magellan, he really likes sailing, so he has no resistance at all.
"Shut up." Ding Yi intercepted Zhu Yong's words, smiled at him, and said softly, "So, are you reluctant?" ”
"Disciple don't dare! To be able to work for the teacher, to conquer the seven seas for the Ming Dynasty, and to educate the barbarians is the disciple's wish, but I am afraid that I will have the trust of Mr.! Zhu Yong looked at Ding Yi and began to smile a little on his face, he was so frightened that his liver trembled. When Ding someone talks about serious things, it is definitely not a good thing to smile on his face, not to mention their personal disciples, the students of the academy know that even those who talk about storytelling, when it comes to Ding and others have disputes, they will come to the sentence "Shao Bao He old man cultivates this magical power, it is like a Buddhist closed mouth Zen, you can't laugh, once you open your mouth to laugh, then the corpses are all over the field!" ”
Ding Yi listened, nodded and said, "I thought you were not very willing, but it seems that I underestimated you." Don't worry too much, I'm convinced you're doing a good job. You transferred two platoons from the brigade unit to Li Le, and formed a company with the more than 40 soldiers originally stationed here. Li Le. ”
"Here!" Li Le listened to Ding Yi's name, and immediately responded.
Ding Yi looked at him, thought for a while, and said: "No, you can't change someone else, Huaxia also needs manpower, you can only be stationed in the concession and Mahe Island, give me three years, after three years, I will definitely send someone to replace you." ”
"I am willing to die for my husband!" Li Le didn't hesitate, his qiē was given by Ding Yi, he was originally blindly worshipping Ding Yi, listening to Ding Yi's task on his shoulders, others could not replace it, Li Le only felt that there was a fire burning in his chest, and he was excited to be recognized and trusted.
Ding Yi raised his hand and pressed it, motioning for him to sit down: "Then it's decided, you will be the commander of the Daming East Africa Garrison Region, and the East African Garrison Brigade will be formed on the basis of a platoon of the Mountain Special Brigade, two platoons of the Dragoon Brigade, and a battalion of Black Lightning." As soon as measures are adapted to local conditions, weapons and equipment should be sent to you this time next year. ”
This is not based on the productivity of China, but on the sea breeze, if it is not downwind, everything is fake.
"The current sea breeze can't go back to China, and the dragoon brigade is almost rested, Ayang, how are the fleet sailors?" Ding Yi asked Huang Xiaoyang again, but the latter replied that the fleet could set sail at any time, "Look at the sea breeze these days, if it is favorable, enter the Red Sea and head for Egypt." During this period, the troops first learned the Egyptian dialect. ”
This is the order, whether Huang Xiaoyang or Zhu Yong, whether they want to or not, when they come to this point, they all get up and reply: "Yes, you must follow Mr.'s teachings!" ”
After more than ten days like this, the sea breeze looked at the gradual change, Huang Xiaoyang and other old pirates, felt that they could pull the anchor and set sail, so they came to report to Ding Yi, who knew that before he could say a few words, there were soldiers outside who hurriedly entered and saluted and reported to Ding Yi: "Sir! There is a ship coming, it is flying the flag of the Ming Dynasty! (To be continued......)
