Du Ziteng felt an incomparably headache when he heard this, because he had followed Ding Yi for more than ten years, and he knew Ding Yi's temperament too well. Most of the time, Ding Yi can listen to other people's suggestions; But if Ding Yi confirms that he must do this, then no matter how much he persuades, there is no point in persuading him.

This situation is rare, and in the past ten years, Du Ziteng only remembers it twice.

When he originally planned to ride two or three hundred to get Yingzong out of Maoerzhuang, Du Ziteng remembered that Ding Yi had this attitude;

In addition, the matter of building a fleet and setting sail for the sea is also unswerving.

Although these two things seem to be the right decision, who can guarantee that this time it is still the right one?

When he went to save Yingzong, he was involved in no more than two or three hundred military households who were accepted as disciples by Ding Yi in the guard center. The so-called barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes, at that time, everyone only had one life, and they didn't have so much knowledge now, they just felt that they could fight for glory and wealth if they didn't die, and if they died, they could be regarded as repaying this life to Mr.

Now, it's different, everyone wears shoes now! Ding Yi is not only concerned with two or three hundred people, but even more than twenty or thirty thousand people. Once someone Ding has a mistake, he is only afraid of Huaxia locally, and those who are implicated by this will have to be counted by millions of people.

At this time, Cao Jixiang sent a letter, which was sent by King Louis XI of France.

He learned about the duel between Mehmed II and Ding Yi, which one is stronger than the novel? Mobile phone reading network, he offered to be Ding Yi's dueling assistant.

France itself in this era was a European power with a popular duel, and Louis XI was naturally interested in the duel between the two monarchs. So he was willing to bear witness to it. So he brought Ding Yi such a letter, calling Ding Yi "dear cousin" and saying something like "We are like brothers because of our respective thrones...... If you can be a witness to this game of the brave. It's my glorious ......" and so on.

Ding Yi's reply once again taught Liu Ji and Du Ziteng that they couldn't react: "Youzhi, sue him." If he wants to be my witness or dueling assistant, that's an honor too. But I hope that Joan of Arc, a great woman, will be canonized, so that it will be more convincing of the integrity of the French. ”

Liu Ji, the traitorous minister, couldn't help but speak: "Sir, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do this, right?" ”

Joan of Arc had been rehabilitated by this time, but had not yet been canonized. As soon as Ding brought up this matter, he was nothing more than mocking the King of France, thinking that Lian Joan of Arc was a woman who gave all her for France. can be betrayed, he doesn't believe in the personality or credibility of the Dharma King at all, how can he be allowed to act as a duel witness or assistant?

Because Liu Ji has been by Ding Yi's side for so many years, he also has a deep understanding of the history and culture of Western Europe. So when I heard it, something was wrong, did I want to provoke the French at this time? This is obviously unwise, so there are such enemies on all sides?

"There's nothing wrong with replying to him like this." Ding Yi still did not listen to Liu Ji's persuasion.

Because this world is known only to him. Joan of Arc will be canonized by the Vatican four or five hundred years later.

Before she was canonized, that is, in another hundred years, Voltaire, Mark Twain, George Bernard Shaw, and others created many works about her, so much so that they later became a symbol of France.

"Sir. If he interferes in the affairs of other countries, he is afraid that he will arouse the disgust of the French government and the opposition. Du Ziteng felt that he couldn't be silent like this, and he thought it was necessary to be a student who was entrusted with a minister's important task and was called a confidant. Carry out the necessary persuasion to get Ding Yi to change his mind.

This is much stricter than a duel. Because in this era, the new army, armed to the teeth, or the first division of the Janissary of the Roman Empire. The duel between the monarchs was just extremely unwise. In fact, if Mehmed II dared to leave Constantine and set off for Paris, if he took the sea route, it goes without saying that, as the Venetians say, the Mediterranean Sea is already the bathtub of the Ming Dynasty; If you go by land, the successful trial production of barrel steel has made the sniper rifle, which is close to the modern level, have been equipped with accurate shooters in every squad of the guard regiment.

Of course, if you do this, you will have a bad reputation. Who cares? People can't find the murderer at all, just like Shi Pu's death.

But the canonization of Joan of Arc might have created an enemy for the nascent Roman Empire in Europe.

It will make European countries feel that Ding Yi's hand is stretched out very long and directly interferes in their domestic affairs.

Even the Vatican would have thought that Ding had begun to meddle in religious affairs.

It is very likely that the Christian countries of the West will unite against Ding Yi, which is definitely not the right thing to do.

Whether it is Du Ziteng, Liu Ji, Cao Jixiang and others, they all unanimously think so.

"I've made up my mind." Ding Yi didn't explain any more.

And this document had to be sent out like this, and Du Ziteng began the training of the army extremely nervously.

Liu Ji also went crazy, organized Greek-speaking soldiers, and began to go to Smyrna day and night to carry out propaganda and agitation work. He was eager to capture every local man in Smyrna and address them: "All poverty and sickness is due to exploitation, this is a contradiction between classes!" You don't understand what class is? All men are created equal! Yes, everyone is equal, whether it is you, me, or the great Majesty Xià ......" to highlight the contradictions between classes and promote that all men are created equal, there is no doubt that for the majority of the poor people at the bottom, both in the East and the West, there is the same resonance.

Even if Mehmed II was an enlightened monarch, the Ottoman Empire, and the Greeks in general, were not much better. In this continuous preaching, in the chorus of tears at the grievance meeting, at least the city of Smyrna has gradually identified with Ding Yi.

"We should live with dignity, we should have our own land, our own property, even if it is a ruined mill, the wind can enter, the rain can enter, but the king cannot enter! That's dignity! We should be able to believe in whatever religion we want, this is our freedom! "A lot of unwarranted chicken soup for the soul in the previous life, such as the story of the mill, have been staged one by one, because it is not in Huaxia locally, to put it roughly, Liu Ji and his propaganda officials, there is no psychological pressure at all, anyway, the Ming Dynasty is thousands of miles away from this sea route, is it really worried about the people of Smyrna, go to Huaxia to see, is there really such a mill outside the Donghua Gate, the great tomorrow can not be demolished?

"You're afraid, but you really don't have to worry too much." Ding Yi said this very gently to his disciples.

Because of fear, Du Ziteng and Liu Ji couldn't wait for one second to become two seconds.

Even Qian Chujiu, who was the least grown-up, didn't dare to hunt for beauty at all when he arrived in Smyrna, but followed Liu Ji's propaganda team to preach everywhere, and even Qian Chujiu began to take the initiative to get up in the morning to practice shooting and bomb throwing.

The threat of war, as well as Ding Yining's unrelenting personality, once a war is launched, then no one will be spared.

This was more effective than any education to cheer up Qian Chujiu, and he said to Liu Ji: "The child still has to practice some life-saving kung fu, for the sake of the beauties of the feudal domains!" If the child has something that is long and short, who will take care of the many beauties of these domains? ”

Yu Qian sent several letters from the Yamen of the Suez Canal to Peng Ding Yi, and even Xu Bin, who was originally stepping down and was going to return to Daming for retirement, was directly detained by Yu Qian, and he was not allowed to return to China, and persuaded him to come to Smyrna Peng Ding Yi.

Xu Bin also felt that he had to make this trip, so he took Yu Qian's letter and came to Smyrna, and when he saw Ding Yi, he sprayed: "Although the country is big, the belligerent will be dangerous!" His Majesty first fell into the famous city of the Ottomans, and now provoked the king, it is really unwise, don't you hear it, and join forces with each other! ”

But Ding Yi is not worried about this, anyway, Xu Bin, who came from afar, still has Xu Bin, who has the title of Daming Guanglu Temple, was directly appointed by Ding Yi as the governor of Smyrna of the Roman Empire, and Yu Qian was added to the title of consul - the title is a Chinese habit, and the consul is an important official position in ancient Rome. If Liu Ji wasn't busy with propaganda work, he would probably smile bitterly, in short, he would use it if he caught someone who could use it, Ding Yi planned to unswervingly continue the style of one team and two brands.

If there was anything good during this time, it was that Mehmed II no longer sent a single soldier to Smyrna. However, according to the report of Du Ziteng's reconnaissance detachment, the Ottoman army moved frequently, and it was obvious that heavy troops were beginning to gather around Smyrna.

His Holiness's letter finally arrived in Smyrna again in the tense atmosphere of Smyrna.

Everyone was stunned, for the King had sincerely expressed his personal agreement with Ding Yi's opinion, and had brought the matter to the Pope.

"How is this possible?" Du Ziteng could hardly believe his eyes, and he even asked to check the authenticity of the letter sent by King Louis XI of France. And Cao Jixiang and Liu Ji can't speak, because they are more familiar with Western culture than Du Ziteng.

A private letter intervenes in a European power like France, canonizing a historical figure who has just been rehabilitated.

You know, the orthodox doctrine of Christianity holds that there are no miracles after Christ, and that the canonization of Joan of Arc inevitably involves some events called miracles by this historical figure.

Xu Bin even broke several beards and exclaimed: "The four seas are in suit, nothing is better!" Your Majesty xià Shenwei, Zhufan bows his head! ”

"It's just a political game." Ding Yi and his confidants went straight to the heart of the incident very frankly in private.

But for European countries, the king of Jinghai in the Ming Dynasty and the emperor of the new Roman Empire are unstoppable in the world! (To be continued......)
