After being recognized by Ding Yi, Liu Ji was not embarrassed at all, and said with a smile: "The disciple is dull, and he can only make up for his clumsiness with diligence." ”

Admitting you're stupid? No, he's not admitting he's stupid! He is avoiding the fact that he is too scheming, and emphasizing a problem, that is, he is diligent, and he is afraid of making mistakes, so he has made many plans.

Ding Yi picked up the two plans and compared, and each candidate was selected, and there was a note behind it, explaining why this person was chosen to be a professor, and the possibility that the other party would accept the invitation and appointment was about a few percent, and why this was so. As long as Liu Ji has a good plan at hand, there is a copy of Ding Yiyi, and finally he has to admit that Liu is indeed diligent.

"You dare to hand over this charter first, but you have the courage to do it." Ding threw the second plan back to Liu Ji, took the first plan, the one with the word "waste" written at the end, ticked it, and said to Liu Ji, "You are very good." ”

At this time, I saw Cao Jixiang's fire rushing inside, and said to Ding Yiyu: "Young master, there is a will!" ”

Liu Ji listened, only to feel that his heart sank, the emperor, do you want to give Ding a poisonous wine white silk?

It was the celebrant and the eunuch Xia Shi who came.

"In the holy word: Have you thought clearly? My patience is running out. ”

Ding nodded and said to Xia Shi: "The minister has learned the holy will. ”

After Xia Shi resigned, Zhang Yu said to Ding Yi: "Mr. just said this, I'm afraid that it will set off another storm." ”

Ding Yi smiled and didn't say anything, of course he knew that such a reply would make those who were ready to move have some thoughts.

"The minister has been informed of the holy will" seems to be very respectful, but in fact it means something like "knows".

The Emperor asked. As a subordinate, of course, you have to answer truthfully. Ding made such a sentence, it was faintly a taste of fighting against the emperor!

This sentence will go out later. It will only make the situation more agitated.

"There are some things that are hidden and tucked, which is not a good thing, so let it burst out and it will be easy to get rid of." Ding Yi said to Zhang Yu, "In the house, you and Lao Cao look at the manipulation, if you want to leave, let them go, although we don't lack that bit of food." There's no need to keep people like that. ”

Zhang Yu covered his mouth and laughed, bowed and retreated.

Ding Yi didn't seem to care about the episode of Xia Shi's arrival, picked up the plan drafted by Liu Ji, and asked him: "You are still a war criminal, what do you think, let him be a professor at the Royal Military Academy of Daming?" Prince Henry doesn't have to think about being on the list, and the Governor's Mansion of the Four Seas is still counting on him to fiddle with things about overseas colonization; Shi Heng and Sun Bo are indispensable as professors. But how to put an end to the atmosphere of bringing the old-style army to the academy, and how to prevent them from supporting cronies among the cadets, this is a headache. ”

The disciple thought. The purpose of setting up this military academy is not to do martial arts, but to be officers who can really be used on the battlefield. If you are a professor. I haven't experienced it in the battlefield, if I teach cavalry tactics. I can't ride my own horse, but I'm afraid of the students who will come out when the time comes. Quite suspicious of Zhao Kuo. Liu Ji explained to Ding Yi his idea of drafting the plan.

Ding Yi took a sip of tea, put down the plan, and said to Liu Ji: "Zhao Kuo, talents who talk on paper are also needed, not only the officer corps, but also the staff corps. Scoring subjects, command subjects, staff subjects, etc., those staff and think tanks around the generals can also be selected to teach classes, don't care whether the selected personnel have titles or fame. ”

"Disciples are taught."

"If you want to do it first, you can; You can also mention yì Shi Heng and others. However, how to prevent possible problems in teaching, it is also necessary to draw up a plan. Let's do it. ”

After Liu Ji went down, Wen Fatzi, who took over Wei Wencheng's work in the Yamen of the Security Bureau, flashed in.

What he presented was a military report sent from the south, Ding Yi looked through it slightly, one was Ding Ruyu's side, saying that many local tyrants and gentry had been mobilized to prepare a fleet and prepare to go to sea with the fleet of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of the Four Seas; First, in Quanzhou and Guangzhou, there were scholars from a high background, and they took the six-room scribes and third-class officers they recruited to the garrison offices in various places to sign up, hoping to learn about the background of going overseas to serve as officials.

"Young master, now it seems that the shape is very good!" Wen Fat Man said on the side.

"If you have something to say, don't come to this set." Ding Yi heard that this guy said half and half left, so he exposed him mercilessly.

Wen Fatzi sued a crime, took out a sweat towel, he could still get sweat in the autumn, and only after wiping it did he speak: "This stubble let us coax out, but they will eventually return to Huaxia. ”

Ding Yi listened, raised his hand, and motioned for Fat Man Wen to continue.

"What can there be overseas, but we have a random object in Huaxia, out of there, it's a valuable thing, hey, in Hughton, those ghosts, said to want tea, out of gold coins to exchange, there was really no at that time, our family and Si Gong said, but Si Gong thought of an idea, swept out a bunch of tea powder on the boat, wrapped bamboo paper into a small bag, Fan ghost actually bought it, and said it was delicious! asked us what kind of tea this was, and I almost didn't laugh Sigong out of breath! "Yang Shan is already witty, and he can really do this.

Ding Yi listened and put his hand on his forehead, and laughed for a long time before asking, "You won't sue the Portuguese and say it's a Lipton tea bag, right?" ”

"What is a Lipton tea bag? But this name is good, I knew that I was looking for the young master to get an idea at that time. The fat man smiled and laughed, he saw that Ding Yi had been under a lot of pressure recently, so he deliberately said something interesting to let Ding Yi relax.

"You are not a businessman, so naturally you can't see business opportunities." Ding smiled, and said to the fat man, "Look at Yang Sijing, when it comes to business, he is much better than you." Don't worry about merchants, they will not return empty after they sell their goods. Second, we don't have to fool around. Profits, high profits, will be more exciting than any lobbying. ”

"It's those who go to the office, you let Wan Anka be stricter, the Indians in the Americas should be kind, plus the products are abundant, in general, as long as you don't bully the locals too much, it should be fine; African natives, not easy to deal with, those three-class errand and six-room scribes, if they are not competent, don't go up and let the headhunters use them as food. ”

"Yes, the fat man wrote it down." When it came to serious things, the fat man took out a pencil and a small notebook very neatly and memorized them.

Ding Yi thought for a while and said to him: "Add one, when you are sent overseas to serve as an official, after the troops of the Sihai Metropolitan Governor's Mansion deliver the officials and others, before leaving, you must repair the yamen before you can leave. ”

"Yes."

There had to be a fortress-like stronghold so that the officials sent abroad would have a place to hold on, at least in the event of a native-like rebellion. Of course, it doesn't mean that the natives will definitely riot, they are all terra nullius, and Ding Yi didn't plan to let those officials send officials to hunt down slaves, but who knows what will happen? Always prepare for the worst.

At this time, Xia Shi, who had just resigned, hurried back: "In the holy word, the prince of Zhongguo entered the palace to face the saint." ”

Ding Yi is not surprised, looking at the current situation, it is almost time to reach this stage.

So the fat man went to ask Ding Junyue to prepare the carriage and horses, and the guards, and went out of the house in the direction of Dong'anmen.

But after a few steps, in the direction of Dong'anmen Street in Goldfish Hutong, two sedan chairs were knocked over, and a few stalls on the side were involved.

"Sir, why don't you go over to the Lamp Market?" Ding Junyue asked Ding Yi for instructions in a low voice, and the latter nodded, Ding can't even take care of traffic accidents, right? It's not much longer than a detour anyway. So the guard troops divided more than 30 horses, opened the road in front, and left 20 or 30 horsemen in place to guard, in case someone set up a bureau for this traffic accident.

The remaining seventy or eighty personal guards, under the leadership of Ding Junyue, embraced Ding Yi and went in the opposite direction of the imperial city, along the goldfish alley to the direction of East Fourth Pailou South Street. As long as you enter South Street, and then turn left to pass the light market, there should not be too many pedestrians at this time of the Lantern Festival, which is equivalent to going around to avoid the scene of the traffic accident.

Who knew that just out of the goldfish alley on the south street, before they walked to the lamp market, they heard the hurried copper whistle sounded, and then the neighing of the war horse, and the loud sound of the horse crashing to the ground, there were four or five horsemen galloping out of the lamp market, but it was the outpost that was released to explore the road before, it was they who blew the copper whistle, at this time, seeing the robe that guarded Ding Yi, he hissed and shouted: "Retreat!" Hurry back! ”

But at this time, there was no way to retreat, and five hundred foot soldiers with arquebuses on their shoulders stepped forward from the direction of Dongdan Pailou North Street, which was also behind the Ding Yi Department; And there was another dense armored foot soldier approaching slowly but firmly from the South Street of the East Fourth Archway in front; In the direction of the lamp market, soldiers wearing heavy armor and holding long soldiers also drove out, and eight primitive rockets of a hundred tigers ran together in front of them.

The footsteps of those foot soldiers, neatly aligned, are exactly the flukes in the newly compiled Ming army trained according to Ding Yi's compilation of infantry drill codes, or in other words, most of them are the personal guards and family members of the generals in the army. Although they were not as good as the training level of the 1st to 4th Divisions, it was simply a dream to rush out with more than 100 cavalry under such a neat queue

Moreover, with the advance of the three-way army horses, the space for the war horses to charge is getting smaller and smaller, and the more than 500 firecrackers on the North Street of Dongdan Pailou have stopped and started to form a team, they are about 100 meters away from the Ding Yi Division, in terms of salvo firepower, this is already a range that can be fired.

There is no way back.

There is no way to fight.

Perhaps there is only one answer, and that is, death. (To be continued......)
