Chapter 1: Into Egypt (14)

Xu Bin was a decent old-style scholar, and he was embarrassed to laugh like Ding Yi like this, but he really couldn't help but tremble in his voice, and he was very curious, and asked Cao Jixiang, "Actually, why bother so much?" Wouldn't it be enough for the soldiers in the camp to recognize the sons of the Jews as righteous sons? ”

Cao Jixiang smiled and said: "First, the young master teaches that we must pay attention to "since ancient times, it has been under the jurisdiction of Huaxia", and the sacredness cannot be violated! If we want to do this, if we want to use this as a basis to find trouble with Mamluk, then we have to kill the Jew who confessed to be a god, and then push it on Mamluk's head? The old slave thought about it, so he did it like this. ”

Ding Yi asked puzzledly: "Lao Cao, how much benefit has this Jew given you, and it is worth you to think of such a strange method?" "Cao Jixiang is not a character who has never seen money, and if he really wants to impress him, it is definitely not a small amount.

But the Jews are really rich, the good man of the French king, John, was defeated by the black prince and captured, ransomed a huge ransom from a French king, France was looking for the Jews to ask for money, it can be seen that the Jews have money to what extent? Cao Jixiang licked his lips, bent over like an old dog, leaned over to Ding's side and said, "Just for the cash received now, they gave 10,000 taels of gold." ”

10,000 taels of gold is almost 100,000 taels of silver.

That's not all, Cao Jixiang added: "Everyone." The old slave didn't dare to be greedy, so he gave it to the battalion sergeants, but it was to be transported back to Huaxia, and the fleet said that at least 20% of the freight would be charged. "10,000 taels, even if it is calculated according to 16 taels and 1 catties, it is also a full 300 kilograms; It should be counted as ten taels and one pounds. That's five hundred kilograms.

"What did you receive?" Ding Yi is not used to this guy.

Cao Jixiang didn't dare to play tricks in front of Ding Yi: "They sent three batches of orchids to the dog before, and there were thirty or forty people in total. On four more occasions, he gave twenty Arabian horses. There are 10,000 taels of gold, and there are a lot of jewels, and if you count them, I am afraid that it will be close to the price of 10,000 taels of gold. ”

"What do you want to do?" Rao is Wan An is smart, and he can't understand it on the side, what are these Jews going to do?

Do you want to use this nearly 100,000 taels of gold as a deposit to ask Ding Yi to help them restore the country? Or do you want to avenge the blood of your ancestors?

When Cao Jixiang heard this, he became proud, and said with a smile: "The old slave is not talented." If they are involved in military and state affairs, they also know that they can't assert themselves, they only want the Ming household registration! He had businesses in Ismailia, Cairo, Damascus, and Jerusalem, and was blackmailed by the local Mamluks, whose ancestors could not bear to be extorted and were bullied to death. If you have a Ming household registration, even if the money is gone, at least you won't lose your life. Of course, if you can avenge your ancestors. Naturally, it is what they want. ”

Speaking of this, Cao Jixiang smiled very cheaply: "If you help him avenge it, this military expenditure will naturally have to be calculated separately!" ”

That is, almost 100,000 taels of gold. People are asking for five Ming household registrations?

What kind of Cheng dΓΉ does this have to be bullied? Paying such a big price, in order to get a Ming household registration?

Xu Bin listened, but the old gentleman's beard did not tremble. got up and looked at Ding Yi deeply: "Today Fang knows that Jin Xiong is slight!" ”

He is not Cao Jixiang, he is a figure who can become the chief minister of the ministry in Huaxia. That big picture is not something that Cao can compare.

That's right, that's the credit of Ding Yi. This is the great cause that Ding has created in the past ten years.

The household registration of the Ming Dynasty has reached the point where the Jews of Egypt are willing to pay ten thousand dollars!

This is Ding Yi's credit, and this is the real prestige outside the territory.

"Let's talk about it when we win." Ding Yi didn't care, helped Xu Bin sit down, smiled and said to Cao Jixiang, "The money I got myself, I smoothed it out by myself, I didn't see the household registration documents of Huaxia, don't expect the Ming army to come out for them to be bullied." ”

Cao Jixiang heard that Ding Yi didn't want to spit out the silver by himself, so he became happy, and hurriedly kowtowed: "The old slave can save it!" ”

"Forget about this matter, I asked you to contact and provoke it." Ding Yi rubbed his temples and said to Xu Bin, "Mr. Yanghao can see if you can work hard?" Set up a naturalized yamen, and those who meet the conditions for naturalization can go to the yamen to apply for and assess, and if they pass the guΓ², they will be allowed to naturalize the Ming Dynasty. ”

It is already a business that has been done in the past, so it is naturally impossible to hand over this business to Cao Jixiang and teach him to enrich his own pockets.

Cao Jixiang didn't object, in fact, if it weren't for his son's pleading, Cao Jixiang wouldn't have done such a thing for money.

He voted for the sake of power and fame, not money, otherwise he would have reorganized the regimental battalion, just the regimental battalion into a division of the new army, and when he changed his clothes and paid his salary, he could get a lot of blood from drinking soldiers, so why bother to get money thousands of miles away?

"I'm just afraid that it's inappropriate, one and a half, such as the Jin people, just go to a certain county and send a letter, it should be done; The old man is not talented, and there are some protΓ©gΓ©s who are old, but they can also do it. But if you take the official documents of the Yamen to do it, the princes of the court are afraid that there will be more words to attack Rujin. Xu Bin shook his head, feeling that this matter was going down a gray path, like someone Cao did this, it was easy to do, if it was naturalization with official documents, it would be really difficult to do.

Dante thought about it for a while, but said: "Xunji, draft an excerpt, let's say that the East African garrison area has a vast number of speakers, and the wooden bones alone are tied to those few black regiments, and they can't take care of it." Therefore, please set up an East African Metropolitan Division in East Africa, recruit local good citizens to fill the households, and issue them with the household registration of the East African Metropolitan Department of the Ming Dynasty, and after they tame the king, they can also recruit into the new army of the East African garrison area, train them, and guard the territory of the Ming Dynasty. When it came to this matter, the Metropolitan Governor's Office of the Four Seas did not dare to dictate itself, and left it up to the ministries and cabinets to decide. ”

Wan An arched his hand and replied, "Yes." "Wan An, who was born in the second class of Wuchen Branch, is not difficult for him, there are only three people in the first class of each subject, champion, Bangyan, Tanhua, and the first place in the second class, which is the fourth place. Drafting such a thing, Wan An can come casually.

Ding Yi then instructed: "The conditions for applying for naturalization will also be appended, such as having no criminal record, being able to pass the guΓ² Chinese test, being able to memorize Tang poems, being able to read the Analects, being able to interpret and read and write, how many assets you have, or having any special skills, and being in good health, before you can apply for naturalization." ”

"If Jin says this, wouldn't he at least have the Wenmo of Tongsheng and even Xiucai?" Xu Bin listened on the side and couldn't help but interject. can memorize Tang poems, read the Analects, and understand literacy, even if it is placed in Huaxia, not everyone can do it, not to mention Xiucai, at least you have to open a Mongolian child, so you can do it.

Ding nodded: "That's it." ”

Xu Bin disagreed, thinking that with such a hard time, there was a ghost person who could be qualified to apply?

He didn't know that hundreds of years later, if he went to the United States to find someone to take the TOEFL, the native Americans would not necessarily be able to pass all of them. If the scope of the sample is placed in the slums, there are many Americans who will not reach the level of Amateur English Level 6 at all, although they have no problem living in the United States.

"That's it, once the imperial court approves it, it will release this naturalization application to the garrisons of Korea, Wa, Luzon, Java, Mugudushu, and Hutun." Ding Yi thought about it and ordered Wan An.

Xu Bin persuaded him: "If Jin thinks three times, Luzon and Java, at that time, if Jin Shangsheng was playing, it is said that it is the inherent territory of China!" ”

"The soil is the land of China, and the people are not the people of China, and if they are not sinicized, they are barbarians."

I don't know which string Ding Yi touched, he suddenly became excited.

Wan An naturally won't talk too much at this moment, Xu Bin saw that Ding Yi was very persistent, and it was not easy to persuade again, so he repaired the twists, Ding Yi saw that it was correct, that is, after signing, he sent two supply ships, unloaded ammunition, clothing, provisions, brought provisions, and carried four Arab thoroughbred horses to see if he could go back as stallions, loaded with 50,000 taels of gold, and five Jews who were going to China to recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, and went east.

And when the titular caliph in Cairo also sent an envoy to meet Ding Yi with the previous mission, the lightning-class communication ship sent to contact Wang Yue, Li Bing, and Huang Xiaoyang finally arrived in Suez City with a reply.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Due to the East African garrison, in recent years, the Kunlun slaves of the rainforest tribe have been recruited and placed as reserves for use, but the Kunlun slaves do not know what is going on in the drums and horns, and the disciples are delayed in the wooden bones, wanting to reorganize the strong men who can obey the orders among them...... In his letter, he taught his disciples not to worry, but his heart was on fire, and today he sent the Rong 1st Brigade, the Rong 2nd Brigade, and the Police Corps of the 1st Rong Division to Suez under the command of Mr. Yu Zhai...... After about a month, the disciple will be able to take the third master Kunlun Nu to Suez after the training, and he should be able to go to Suez with the third master......"

Wang Yue's letter was written very clearly, and Ding Yi's letter was to let him not worry, because when he came to Suez, he did not know that there would be an acute infectious disease here, nor did he know that there would be a big war. So Ding Yi didn't blame Wang Yue for not sending troops over. On the contrary, he specially repaired the letter to him, so that he did not have to worry, the situation here was basically stabilized, and taught him to adjust the troops well, and if he brought troops over, he should be prepared to send troops to Cairo and Ismailia.

However, Wang Yue was frightened when he read the letter, and hurriedly sent other troops and fleets in addition to the division headquarters and the Rong Third Brigade.

Wang Yue also has a lot of ambitions, he wants to reorganize three divisions of black people in Mugudu, if it can really be done in a month, then the soldiers and horses that can be dispatched by Ma Muliuke and Ding Yi will be much calmer.

"Hang the messenger from Cairo." Ding Yi handed the letter to Wan An, but smiled at Cao Jixiang, "Didn't they want to delay?" If you cooperate, you will drag it out, and how much money you can knock this time will be yours. ”

Both sides are accumulating forces in preparation for a battle.

What Ding Yijia is thinking about is not how to fight this battle, but how to govern it after the battle.

It is one thing for the troops to be strong, but it is another thing to rebuild after the fight, and it didn't take long for the US troops to fight in the Gulf War, but they were completely dragged into the quagmire later.

But for the Mamluk emissaries, they were just as hopeful of victory.

Because in Suez City, they also have their own eyeliner, the Ming army, it seems that there are about 1,000 people, and the others are black servant army and Egyptian local servant army, as long as 20,000 iron horsemen are gathered, it is impossible to step on the thousand-man camp of the Ming army!
