The Aegean Fleet did not intend to make trouble, because they only came out with six destroyers and a dozen supply ships, and the main purpose was to serve as the escort of Ding Yi's trip. In the Mediterranean, it was also not thought that anyone would dare to provoke Simin's fleet. Unexpectedly, the Venetians thought that Ding Yi must have suffered a big loss in Paris, which happened to frustrate the prestige of the Ximing Empire!

So they dispatched more than 100 warships, also with guns, more than a dozen of which were equipped with gunwales, eight on each side, and dozens of them were traditional bow and stern guns. In the world, not only Ding Yi is developing a navy, but Venice, a maritime power in the Mediterranean, will also learn and develop.

Therefore, they are ready to teach the navy of the Western Ming Empire a lesson to fight for the control of the Mediterranean. Because they can't stand it anymore, it's too aggrieved. Venice is a Mediterranean country, but if you want to go to sea, you have to be limited by the Western Ming Empire, and the battleship can only use about how many tons and how many sailors can be used to escort or exterminate pirates.

According to the insight of Venice: "Is Venice a subordinate of Ximing?" Even Louis XI could not have made such a demanding request to the duke below him! If this continues, will Venice still be the Venice of the Venetians? What's more, Crete is also blatantly occupied by them! What referendum annexed? In the final analysis, isn't the whole riot promoted by Ximing behind the scenes? ”

Ding Yi's opinion on this is very simple: "In the future, this kind of thing does not need to be reported again." ”

After the admiral of the Aegean Fleet reported it, Liu Ji didn't dare to take an idea, and Cao Jixiang didn't dare to take an idea, so he handed it to Ding Yimian. Ding Yi for such a program. I feel a big opinion: "Send the supervisor first and explain the regulations clearly to the other party." Make it clear. ”

"That Yan, that Venetian is just unreasonable. Sent, the messenger delivering the letter was at the docks. Jeddah said with a bitter face, saying that they were very close to Marseille, "and sent two inspectors, calling them out, asking them to go back, but they did not listen; They were asked to lower their sails for inspection, but they didn't listen! ”

Ding Yi let out a long sigh and said to Jeddah: "Prove that this Admiral of the Aegean Fleet." I'm very incapable of diplomatic work. ”

"Can't convince the inspectors? Let the artillery convince you. The Venetians were very reasonable, especially in front of artillery fire. Also, forget it this time, you can sue him directly, and if this kind of thing has to be reported to me in the future, the admiral will resign himself. ”

"Yes! That Yan! Jeddah repeated Ding Yi's words, and rode to the port to give the order.

In his bones, Gidda is extremely belligerent, otherwise, when he was in Maoerzhuang. He won't take the initiative to provoke Ding Yi. At this time, when he heard that Ding was relieved to fight, he became excited, and the Arab thoroughbred horse under his crotch was like an arrow being urged by him, and he disappeared in an instant.

"It's in Marseille so soon." Princess Anna felt a faint sadness. It seeped out imperceptibly in her eyebrows, even if she tried hard to control her tone, not wanting to provoke Ding Yiyi. But it is difficult to teach this sorrow to disappear, "This carriage is too fast and too stable." It's not all good, either. ”

Too fast and too steady, and before you know it, you have reached the end of the journey. That's where the bad thing goes.

Ding Yi rubbed his temples, he thought for a long time, and finally plucked up the courage, and said to Princess Anna, "You can go back to Smyrna with me." I think you'll like the Academician Junna branch that I set up in Smyrna, and I invite you to be the dean. As soon as Ding felt that this matter was feasible, he gradually became happy, "This is feasible, child, this is a precedent, Henry, the Portuguese prince of navigation, yes, I invited him to be the chief of naval education of the Ming Governor's Office!" ”

"I don't think your father will refuse this invitation!" Ding Yi became excited, and couldn't help rubbing his hands, "I will guarantee that the funds allocated to the academy every year will be at your disposal; In terms of teachers and hardware, we will try our best to meet your needs. We have built the Smyrna branch into a place where we can continue to export talents......"

Anna unusually interrupted Ding Yi's words: "Your Majesty, you have a wife." ”

Not only did he have a wife, but he had more than one wife. This is a question that makes Ding Yi difficult, and it is also a question that makes Anna sad. She didn't want to mention this stubble, but what Ding Yi said, so she couldn't find a reason to refuse, and subconsciously, she raised this question, and as soon as the words came out, the corners of her eyes couldn't help but redden.

And Ding Yi couldn't comment on this issue at all, in fact, he was deliberately avoiding and confusing this issue.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have called Princess Anna "child", "girl" and the like.

Because this is a problem that he cannot solve, he can conquer a city, he can make a small country like Crete, set off a storm and change the dynasty; He could make the Japanese obey his orders, and he could make the king of Joseon wear the regular uniform of a sergeant to raise the flag every day. But he couldn't solve the problem.

He had wives, and more than one. And he couldn't bear their departure at all.

In addition to the fact that Sofia, which brought him the Byzantine heritage, was a moral indissension.

Whether it is Liu Yiyi, or Natural Stay, or Xue Ning, he can't leave.

Maybe there is less gathering and more separation, maybe between him and them, the love is extremely weak, but family affection, they are his family, they are the pillars of his life in this world and this era. If he lost them, Ding Yi couldn't imagine how he would deal with himself.

As for Ding Ruyu, needless to say, she is like a certain part of Ding Yi's body, how could she leave?

So he couldn't solve it, he stretched out his hand and stroked Anna's pretty face, there was a wetness, and Ding Yi's hand was cold, and his heart was cold.

By this time the carriage had stopped, and had reached the port of Marseille, and as Princess Anna had said, a carriage that was too steady and too fast was not entirely good. But he taught this sorrow, entangled in a thousand ways, and he didn't even have time to sort it out, but it was time to part.

"Son, go back to Paris." Ding Yi kissed her forehead and whispered to her, "I'm sorry." ”

Anna looked up at Ding Yi, a strong girl, strong enough to face the assassin with a sword and back to back.

But in front of him, she was as fragile as a crystal clear ice, and even if it was just the autumn sun, it was enough to make her disappear. Just because one of her hearts has been trapped in this man's eyes, unable to extricate herself, unable to control herself, like a moth to a fire.

"I'm not a kid, no." Princess Anna's voice was not loud, but it was very firm, she even straightened her chest, she was not a child in the first place, not to mention that the whalebone corset set her curves extremely moving, "Your Majesty, I can't go to Smyrna, but I will wait for you in Paris, in that little castle." ”

Ding Yi nodded, he couldn't speak again, after opening the carriage door, he got out of the car first, stretched out his hand, and then when Princess Anna put her hand on his elbow, Ding Yi put his hand around Princess Anna's waist, and immediately hugged her down, and turned around in place a few times.

"You're going to wait for me." He said so.

"I'll be waiting for you, Your Majesty."

Ding Yi shook his head and said solemnly to her, "No, you belong to me." ”

"But I'm a devout Catholic, Your Majesty."

"If you can't marry me, then you can't marry anyone, and you can't have any lovers."

Princess Anna's face flushed, and she avoided Ding Yi's gaze: "Your Majesty, you are unreasonable. ”

"Yes, if you also agree that this is love, then there is no need for reason."

"It's not fair to me." Anna bravely stood up straight, faced Ding Yi, and said this.

Ding Yi did not deny it: "Yes, it's not fair to you. ”

Then he plucked up his courage and kissed her on the lips.

A gentle kiss, like a sunny fly. The kiss is on the lips, but it is imprinted on the heart.

A company of soldiers of the Guards, escorting Princess Anne to Paris, three of them in a platoon, were to be based at the little castle; And that platoon of female soldiers will be close to Princess Anna.

"That Yan." Jeddah came over and reported to Ding Yi, "The Aegean Fleet ended the battle, sank twenty-seven of the opposing warships, wounded the number of people, and captured thirty-two warships, of which twenty-four were damaged. We suffered zero casualties, because the range of the opponent's artillery was not even half of that of our fleet, and the accuracy was extremely poor. ”

Smoothbore cannon, and there is no granular black powder, how far can it hit? What can be the right head? It's just a salvo.

"I was in a bad mood and ordered the Mediterranean Fleet to send four battleships, four cruisers, and a battalion of marines on board to assemble in Crete." Ding Yi instructed Liu Ji like this, and then said to Jeddah, "Send people to Venice and tell them that if there is not a million taels of silver delivered to the island of Cree within twenty days, they will no longer have to obey the regulations of the Ximing Empire in the future, yes, they don't have to obey it anymore, they can send as many ships as they want to go to sea, and they can carry as many people as they want." ”

If the ordinary people listen to this, they must like it, how good?

But when the Venetians heard the messenger say this, it was different, and they didn't have to obey?

If the Republic of Venice is erased, then of course no one will demand that a country that does not exist zài obey any rules. Some people were extremely angry and shouted for war with Ximing, while others were very frightened: "Maybe Poseidon suffered a big loss in the duel with the Ottomans, but his invincible armada is invincible!" ”

"He only has six battleships now! Six! The Doge of Venice roared angrily, "We have seventy galleons with gunwales!" Only eleven ships were lost in this battle! Sixty against six, we have enough strength to teach Poseidon a lesson in the Mediterranean! (To be continued......)
