Chapter 4: The New King (17)
Sometimes internal contradictions can be diverted by external contradictions. previously refused to marry Sofia because Ding Yi didn't want to carry it with Osman so quickly; And now that he has agreed to the marriage, he is naturally ready to put pressure on Osman.
As for why? The Ming Dynasty's fanaticism for war has permeated the entire country.
Whether it is the court bosses or the people at the bottom, everyone has reached a consensus in the past ten years, that is, war will be able to make a lot of profits for themselves! And when all the people in China work together to put the war machine into operation, one thing is certain, that is, the influence of the imperial power will be greatly weakened.
This is a tradition, fire prevention, anti-theft and anti-emperor, Xuanzong era, the emperor can still take thousands of elite horses to fight in the three guards, to Yingzong, the beginning was fine, but the result was a civil fort, not to mention the martial arts, all subconsciously did not let the emperor interfere in the military power, not to mention that when Emperor Yu Jing was in power, Yu Qian held the power again, and there was really no possibility for him to interfere. In the original history, this situation will further develop, and in the Zhengde period, the emperor led his troops to win the battle, and he also stabbed an enemy, but he could be sung down by the scholars.
At this time when Ding Yi intervened, when Yingzong was reinstated, the military power was basically handed over to Ding Yi; And when it comes to Zhu Jianshen, to be honest, starting from Ming Taizu, he is the emperor with the least real power. When the war machine is activated, the influence of imperial power on the country will definitely be reduced to the weakest level.
The evening of the day. Ding Yi visited Li Xian, and since Mrs. Li passed away, Ding Yi has rarely come and walked around. It's not that the feelings are light, but a Ming army soul, a Ming Shoufu, walking too close, God knows what the two of them are going to plan? But this night, Ding Yi finally came, and as soon as he sat down, he spoke: "If the parliament is constitutional, it is the way to make the entire Chinese civilization everlasting." Then I don't mind doing a little bit in this matter. ”
Li Xian listened. couldn't help but even tremble slightly with the teacup in his hand, because he knew very well what Ding Yi meant.
With a little effort, Ding Yi didn't mind directly putting Zhu Jianshen, the emperor. Position the mascot.
If others say it, it may not be convincing, but as soon as Dante opens this mouth, no one dares to question it.
"But I don't know, if the parliament is constitutional, it will work?"
"Will it become that although the Ming Dynasty is strong, ninety percent of the people are poor, and the wealth is concentrated in the hands of scholars or merchants?" Ding Yi said it very sincerely, he really didn't know. Is it possible to hand over power to parliament once and for all? Not to mention the Roman Senate, the modern beacon state of liberal democracy. How many people repay the loan for college, and it will take decades to repay! [The author didn't receive five cents, such as the source of ".tumblr.kan", if you are interested, you can take a look.] 】
It is precisely because Ding Yi is in the era of information explosion in his previous life that he can always collect a lot of things as long as he is willing. That's why he was a little unsure: "I really don't know, so I don't dare to do it." ”
Here in Li Xian. When it comes to this verse, even if it is thorough, there is no need to explain too much.
"If Jin wants to accept the princess of Daqin?" Li Xian immediately picked up the conversation.
"Yes." Ding Yi did not hide.
"If Jin wants to raise troops to punish injustice?"
"Yes. If I get the title of Emperor of the Roman Empire, then I will definitely seek justice for Great Qin. ”
Li Xian pondered for a long time, nodded and said: "This is a good thing, raise the prestige of my Ming army, and all the ministries and cabinets should try their best to cooperate." ”
Hearing this, Ding Yi got up and said goodbye, because what Li Xian said was an attitude on behalf of the Ming court.
To put it simply, everyone is waiting for the war to start, and no one will stumble in the middle
Out of the Li Mansion, Ding Yi did not go to the barracks to mobilize soldiers again, but went back to Goldfish Hutong directly.
"Can Youzhi handle this section of the railway from Tianjin to Beijing?" To Liu Ji's surprise, the first thing Ding Yi said after returning home was not about the brawl between the soldiers of the Second and Fifth Divisions, nor about marrying Sofia, but the railway, the section of the railway that was being laid.
Liu Ji hesitated for a moment, but quickly replied, "The disciple is willing to try his best." "Liu naturally wants to be on his own, but he really can't fight a war, and he is not very happy to go overseas, and now that there is such an opportunity, he is unlikely to let it go.
"If you want to do it, you have to do it well, and there is no concept of trying." Ding Yi didn't leave Liu Ji any leeway, and said to him very strictly, "If you go on a business trip, this is something that can never be ruthlessly talked about, you have to think clearly." If it is done well, you will be in charge of the railway in the future. Yes or no, you have to give a clear answer. ”
Liu Ji thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "The disciple is willing to make a military order!" ”
"Well, you go down first, adjust the relevant information, see if you don't understand, and we'll refer to it later."
After watching Liu Ji go down, Chen San asked in a low voice, "Sir, is the situation so bad that it is?" ”
Why are you still thinking about railways at this time? Liu Ji is a fan of the authorities, and he didn't notice it for a while, and his talent in military affairs is really poor; Chen San understood as soon as he heard that if the railway from Tianjin to Beijing was paved, then the soldiers and horses of Liangguang could arrive in Tianjin by sea at any time, and enter Beijing by rail!
Don't underestimate the more than 100 kilometers of railway, although the trains of this era are very primitive, if the four-wheeled carriage that Ding Yi sits in is let go, there is no problem in exceeding the speed of the train, but the train will not be tired, and the carrying capacity or something, it is not at all comparable to a pack horse.
What's more, when the soldier gets on the train, even if he runs twenty or thirty kilometers an hour, then in these few hours, the soldier can also relax and rest, this pack horse really can't compare.
So Ding Yi was thinking about the railway, and Chen San was very keenly aware that Ding Yi had already begun to prepare something.
"Not really, but I don't really like to play games." Ding Yi smiled and patted Chen San on the shoulder.
"San'er, you advised me not to give up Liangguang, but you are right."
"The Ministry of Industry handed over to the imperial court will make it happen, everyone will see it."
"If you really hand over Liangguang to the imperial court, I'm afraid that it will harm the people of Liangguang."
"Take care of the affairs of the two metropolitan governors, don't learn from Youzhi, do those tricks like avoiding suspicion, men in the army, bloody flamboyance is the true color!"
Chen San couldn't help blushing a little, and forced a smile: "The disciple has written it down." ”
There is a reason why Ding Yi said this.
After Chen San returned to Beijing, he could really see that he was extremely cautious, and even deliberately avoided it, so as not to rob Ding Yi's scenery. Ding Yi looked at it in his eyes, where would he not know that it was Liu Ji's bad idea? Isn't this the familiar "grace from above" set of the scholar class?
It's something that offends people, Chen San takes it himself, goes to the front, and gives benefits to the subordinates, he does it in the name of Ding Yi, so that the officials and soldiers at the grassroots level, can they not think of Ding Yi? The problem is that Ding Yizhen doesn't want to do this, and he doesn't want to be the emperor! He is more accustomed to and wants to do things well in earnest, rather than currying favor with Shangfeng in this way.
"San'er, your thoughts, as a teacher, know. But you have to know that if there is something good at the top, it will follow suit at the bottom, and if the officials and soldiers under the two major governors act like this, it won't be long before we are no different from these scholars and doctors. ”
"Yes, sir." Chen San raised his head, and his eyes rekindled the excitement and unrestraint on the grassland.
The disciple of the Rakshasa made his men fear him more than his enemies.
Since returning to Beijing after entering the customs, he has been carefully imitating and learning the manners of the scholar class, and has been detaining his own nature. At this moment, Chen San really released himself: "Yes, sir!" He repeated what he had just said, with a kind of faith fanaticism and paranoia.
This made Ding Yi feel relieved: "Obey the law, in addition, anyone who dares to show his fangs to you and me, pull out his fangs, cut off his claws, and make a specimen." Specimens, you know, right? That's right, it's the loot! ”
Chen San nodded vigorously, then got up and saluted Ding Yi, turned around and walked out the door.
On this night, all the commanders above the battalion of the Fifth Division were detained by the military police and thrown into the military prison of the Ming Dynasty.
When the sun rose the next day, Tan Feng rushed from Tianjin to the outside of Jingshi City.
As soon as the city gate opened, he showed the waist card of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of the Four Seas, and went straight to the palace of Jinghai County.
When he arrived at Goldfish Alley, not only did he get off the saddle himself, but he also had to hold the saddle so that he wouldn't fall, but also the more than 20 guards he was carrying behind him. More than 200 miles away, Wen Fatzi sent someone to summon the news in the starry night, after Tan Feng received the order, one person and three horses, the horses did not rest, and it was definitely not an easy errand to finish the two hundred miles in the early hours of the morning.
No matter how good you are at equestrianism, such a high-speed gallop, the skin and flesh on the inner thighs are all bruised.
"Can you stand it?" Ding Yi finished his morning exercise and was washing with the towel handed over by Cao Jixiang.
Tan Feng pressed his heels together, and although the muscles of his thighs were trembling, his voice was still firm: "Mr. Report, you can withstand it!" ”
Ding wrung out a towel and hung it up, picked up the porridge on the side, picked up the plate of meat buns, and handed it to Tan Feng: "Eat." ”
"Yes." Tan Feng took it, took a bite of the bun, and ate the warm gruel.
Ding Yi smiled and pulled Cao Jixiang's breakfast on the side, but said, "Old Cao, I'm sorry, I took advantage of you." ”
"The young master has killed the old slave!" Cao Jixiang: What's so unpleasant? This is the posture of intimacy.
Tan Feng quickly finished eating the buns and porridge.
"Are you full?"
"It's full."
Ding Yi took a sip of porridge, nodded and said: "First from the side of the guard regiment, transfer a company to send to you, brothers from Tianjin, let them rest first, arrest the operation, you are using your brain, but the people below need to be physical." No problem, right? ”
"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" (To be continued) R580
