Chapter 8: The Duel (24)
Sister-in-law Li couldn't help crying again when she heard this: "Lao Li is gone, if the old body can't let go of that package, I just can't wait to go with him, what wrinkles do you care about?" Sir, the old man knows that the Li family owes Mr. Lao Li is fate, when he meets you, Mr., he doesn't need to drill the camp, he doesn't have to shoot the horse, he has a magic obstacle, and he never blames him for talking nonsense to Mr. If he hadn't met Mr., he would have died depressed in Wang Gongchang in this life! β
Lao Li went, and the old man thought, that stall can't just be left like that. Supervisor Du said that he couldn't get an idea, so the old man asked for an errand, and these children came to see Mr. to see if Mr. could be accommodating and teach Lao Li's mess to take care of the old man? If the old man dies, there are still four children, and the old man told them, if he can't repay the kindness of Mr., but he will not teach them to enter the genealogy! β
Ding Yi sighed when he heard this, nodded and said, "Du Mu is a bastard, what is the foundation of the sister-in-law, will he Du someone still know?" If there is no sister-in-law to work together, I am afraid that many of Brother Li's designs will not be realized. What's wrong with that? It's so decided, sister-in-law, you don't feel tired, then you will take up the position of Brother Li. He turned his head and said to Cao Jixiang, "Old Cao, go down." β
"No, no! Sir, the old man is just begging, don't let the project team of the resumption of the spring break up, Lao Li is in charge of the entire Guinea factory, factory and mine, the old man is a woman's family, with long hair and short knowledge, where can he help? Sister-in-law Li hurriedly excused herself.
Ding Yi asked the other engineers who came with him, but everyone said that Sister-in-law Li was worthy of the position of chief engineer.
So Ding Yi set the tone and taught Cao Jixiang to write. Sister-in-law Li was in charge of the project team of the reintroducer spring, and taught the Guinean engineer to make a recommendation. If there is any objection to Sister-in-law Li as the chief engineer, you can submit an application within one month of receiving the document. If the number of dissenting people is less than 30 percent, then there is no need to negotiate this decision.
"Your Majesty, Weichen has something to do!" Just when these engineers were led down by Cao Jixiang to rest, suddenly the son of Li Jiangtou knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Ding Yi and said, "Please retreat left and right!" β
Ding Yi smiled and said to Sister-in-law Li: "It's okay, it's also a nephew, don't worry." So he taught the others to go down first.
But when Ding Yi taught the son of the head of the craftsman to get up and speak. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Majesty, please be your Majesty!" β
"Supervisor Nadu, after the death of his father, he had a lot of ill intentions towards his mother!"
Ding Yi couldn't help but hold his forehead when he heard this, this Du Mu is really the best, this problem has been reported in Guangxi, why is it still like this in Guinea? At that time, Ding Yi was less than twenty, and Li Jiangtou and his wife were in their early thirties, and now Sister-in-law Li is less than fifty. This Du Mu is really sick!
"Don't worry, I can't spare him!" Ding Yi immediately said to Cao Jixiang, "Let Tan Feng send someone down, and just say that I asked him 'Du Mu'." If there is a rebirth, you must think about it first, it is death. Or die for three days, you know? βγ Do it right away. β
And Engineer Li, who was relieved, burst into tears. It seems that this question has been pressing on his mind for a long time.
Ding Yi didn't expect that he finally heard a good idea.
Because after Engineer Li wept bitterly, he took out something and presented it to Ding.
A pocket watch, of course, is slightly larger, and it has to be the size of a woman's palm.
Although there are drawings drawn by Ding Yi, clocks and watches are no better than firearms, and it is impossible for Ding Yi to get out the six-sided drawings of each part, and he can't remember them at all, and the drawings only illustrate the working principle. When he heard that he had made a self-striking clock, he was very surprised, and he didn't expect the pocket watches to come out!
"Back to His Majesty's words, Wei Chen really had nothing to do, at that time I thought that if the idea of His Majesty was realized, combined with the grenade ignition device, it would be a bomb that detonated at a time, which would be more concealed than the delay fuse of the time medicine plate, and when the time came, Supervisor Du would be killed, and Wei Chen's head would not be found......" Engineer Li replied.
This is the concept of a mechanical time-delay fuse, and Ding Yi looked at the pocket watch, which was really ridiculous.
Hatred, hatred is what motivation! Pocket watch, this is the Chenghua year, and the pocket watch will come out! Ding Yi even had an evil thought: Why don't you ask Du Mu to bully this son of Li Craftsman? In order to force this technology house to achieve a few more new mechanical processes?
Of course, Ding Yi is not without a lower limit to this journey, and it is just a fleeting thought.
"I want mass production! Mass production now! These are the words of Ding Yi who suddenly stood up and roared after staring at his pocket watch for two minutes.
Pocket watches don't need to be said any more nonsense for tactical re-dΓ significance.
But mass production of pocket watches is not something that can be achieved immediately.
The messenger of Muhammad II, on the other hand, did not come twelve days later, but on this day.
He made a request: "The caliph thinks that it is too child's play for the two monarchs to go to the dueling arena, and it should be canceled." I don't think I will refuse this mention of yΓ¬, right? β
"If he wants to undo the duel, I can agree, but there are two things." Ding Yi smiled and said to the messenger.
The messenger replied with great anger: "Your Majesty, do you know what will happen to you when you go to the dueling arena?" This is the goodwill of the caliphate! β
"First of all, he must be in the dueling arena and personally submit an application for the cancellation of the duel." As if he hadn't heard the messenger's words, Ding Yi continued his words, "The second thing, after he has made his request, I want one of his hands, the hand below the elbow, the left hand or the right hand, he can choose for himself. β
Needless to say, the messenger of Mehmed II naturally left in great anger.
And on the second day, Mehmed II, for his part, offered to perform the duel tomorrow, the third day.
"See? Breaking the contract, repeatedly breaking the contract, this is the mind that a monarch should have. This is what the Duke of Burgundy taught his daughter Mary, "Your Majesty lacks not wisdom, for I confess that he has a height of sufficient height, both in the training and in the presence of the piano; Nor knowledge, according to you. In other armies, officers are equipped with equipment. Whether it's the binoculars, or the gear shown in the duel. If it was all invented by him, no, even if it was only an invention under his leadership, then his knowledge would be as vast as the sea of stars. β
"But what he lacks is this shamelessness, this shamelessness that can break the contract at any time."
"So I'm not optimistic about him, there has never been a hero in history who has had the last laugh, neither Caesar. Or William. Wallace, or Joan of Arc. Kid, go back to Burgundy. The Duke persuaded Mary earnestly, but could not make the girl change her mind, "and he already has wives, more than one!" There's no way you're going to marry him! β
She shook her head stubbornly: "No, father, I want to follow the banner of His Majesty, yes." That's all. β
The duel, as Mehmed II had requested, began on the third day.
Both the magnates of the countries and the citizens of Paris still gave enough enthusiasm.
Because they think. Witnessing the death of a king in person is something they should watch.
When Ding Yi appeared, he won the cheers of many women and teenagers, as well as tears. Because he is a hero in their hearts.
Even if they think that he is on the road to death. However, this is like a scene from a knight's novel. made them even more crazy for Ding Yi's fearlessness.
Ding I and Mehmed II stood in the dueling arena, and before the cardinal and Louis XI, who was the notary, announced the beginning, Mehmed II suggested that he wanted to say a few words to Ding Yi.
"Poseidon, you know you're going to die here." Mehmed II did not organize the wording, but asked the question in his mind very directly, "Why don't you accept my kindness?" He was referring to the tiyì of the undo duel.
"No one, no one, can provoke me or the Ming Empire without paying the price." Ding Yi smiled at Mehmed II and said, "Now, you can choose, leave a hand, or stay in the dueling arena. β
"If you decide to break the contract and leave, I don't think you can go back to the Ottomans."
Mehmed II sneered: "Poseidon, you don't have to bluff, I can admit that your army is strong, however, your fatal problem is that you don't have enough army!" What would you do if I gave up the entire Ottoman Empire? Do you dare to send troops into every city, every settlement? No, you wouldn't dare, because in that case, there wouldn't be even a garrison of fifty men in every place! "A garrison of fifty people, for a city, thousands of people, has too many opportunities, let these fifty people die in their dreams, die on food.
Ding Yi did not deny the words of Mehmed II, he smiled and nodded: "You are right, it is true. β
"But you don't have more than 8,000 elites with you, and I have 2,000 men, which is enough to eat you."
"Of course, you may be able to escape, but like a lost dog, what else can you do when you return to the Ottomans?"
"Oh, I forgot to tell you one thing, in fact, my student, as early as you arrived in Paris, set out for Constantine."
Mehmed II did not hesitate any longer, he immediately made his choice.
Because he knew that there was no room for any further delay, whether it was called a caliph or an emperor, that chair would hardly accommodate family affection. If Bayezid is supported by Ding Yi, if most of Muhammad II's henchmen are really destroyed, even if he returns to Ottoman, he is afraid that he will be greeted by the rest of his life imprisoned by Bayezet.
That's his son, he knows it well.
As for waving the knife at Ding Yi, yes, at this moment, Mehmed II still confirmed that he could kill Ding Yi as long as he made his move. But what's the use? If he kills Ding Yi, then Ding Yi's men will attack his guards even more frantically! He is not a man who is happy to enmity and revenge, he is a generation of male lords, and he is a mature politician.
So in front of the magnates of all countries, in front of thousands of onlookers in Paris, Mehmed II waved his long sword.
"If you become my captive, then maybe the truth is simpler!" This was the decision of Mehmed II.
Defeat Ding Yi without killing him. Let the loser be a prisoner of the winner.
Still breaking the contract, still without waiting for the notary to announce the beginning of the duel, Mehmed II wielded his sword. (To be continued......)
