Chapter III: Establishment of the Reserve (14)
"It will take at least five years, and if a supply point is set up near the Whale Sea in Jianzhou, the time should be shortened." Chen San didn't take care of everything, but thought for a while before answering, then stood up again as he spoke, pointing on the map hanging in the study, "Here, and here, if the North Korean side can help defend this supply point, the problem will be simple." ”
However, he shook his head and said: "Poor mountains and bad waters, it is difficult to govern, once we escape into the mountains and forests, between the black mountains and white waters, it is difficult for us to give full play to the advantages of firearms." Therefore, it is easy to suppress the Jianzhou, as long as the armament is complete, our army starts from the Miyun avant-garde, and then along the Yalu River, if it can be said that the DPRK can send troops together to cut off its retreat and force it to Jianzhou, then the artillery fire will be at once, and the war will be over in a few months. ”
Ding Yi was supported by Liu Ji, got up and walked to the edge of the map, and gave a clue to the march route that Chen San said.
"Xu Yuanyu has an excerpt about building a railway, you can approve it for me, what I mean is to go from Guangdong to Beijing, and then from Beijing to Yalu River, so that once something happens, it will be much easier to transport troops. You discuss a plan with Yuzhi, and then I will present it to the emperor and ask the government along the way to cooperate. Ding Yi thought about it, and did not mention the issue of suppressing Qing Jianzhou, but proposed to build a railway.
Because it is necessary to maintain a large supply point behind the enemy line in Jianzhou, which is actually a supply point for supplies and ammunition for the third division of the Ming Dynasty, it is no problem at sea, but it is very unsafe on land. As for Chen San's statement that the North Korean side would send troops to help maintain it, Ding Yi couldn't trust the North Koreans in his heart, especially this kind of thing of putting the lifeline in the hands of the North Koreans, he was not very willing to do it.
"Yes, the disciple tried to read the military report as much as possible. Then discuss with Yuzhi to come up with a charter, and prepare an abridged submission to Mr. ”
When Chen San and Liu Ji retired to do business. Ding Yi sat in this courtyard, looking at the bleak and clear crescent moon. Somehow, a few more strands of sadness came to my heart: "Why the hell am I like this!" Even he himself was depressed, "I'm sad and sad!" ”
Liu Yiyi taught the subordinates in the house to move chairs, sit beside Ding Yi, and talk trivially about the business of many Yungui sides, talking about the Arabian horses shipped from Egypt, and breeding with Yunnan horses and Mongolian horses; Speaking of weaving mills, they no longer use wind power, but coal-fired steam engines to power them, and the product of the industrial revolution. Cloth alone has basically occupied ninety percent of the middle and upper market share of the Ming Dynasty.
Ding Yi listened quietly, he didn't know much about these trade things, just like when it came to military strategy, no matter how hard Liu Yiyi was, it was difficult to reach the level where he could discuss with Ding Yi. But he could feel that Liu Yiyi cared for him, so he hugged her so closely. He was a little frightened, probably suspicious that one day, even she would leave. Leave yourself alone to face the long years.
Liu Yiyi enjoyed this kind of time very much, which made her feel young when she was young, Ding Yi at that time. There is no natural stay, there is no snow condensation. There is no Zhang Yu, let alone Morena. Even Ding Ruyu was far away in Temasek, and he always taught her to be confident, and always said that she was not as ugly as the world said, and that it was her best day.
She found a topic that she could discuss with Ding Yi: "Husband, what is the use of batteries?" This development requires tens of thousands of taels of silver every month, but nothing has come out. If it can be made, can it be as good as a cannon? Or is it as useful as a steam engine? ”
Ding Yi stroked her hair and muttered, "If you don't talk about it, I haven't found out yet, I don't even understand how to make a light bulb!" No, I don't even know how to make the filament, I don't know in the first place; I don't know how the phone turns the current into a sound, so I have to take it slowly. Alas, this is ridiculous, I remember the position of any pin and the size of the parts of each model of the AK series and the M16 series, not even the Masada or the G series, but I don't even know how the incandescent filament was invented......"
Liu Yiyi couldn't understand what he was saying, but she knew that many inventions were born after Ding Yi's muttering, so she didn't interrupt Ding Yi, just listened quietly, stayed by his side, felt the strength of the arm bend, and the warmth of his chest, which was enough to melt, many barriers, many obstacles accumulated by the years, making each other gradually alienated.
"With batteries, electricity becomes a controllable resource." After searching for memories to no avail, Ding Yi patiently explained to Liu Yiyi, "If we produce a light bulb, then theoretically, as long as there is enough electricity, it can always glow, there is no smoke, and it will not catch fire, but it seems that this will take a while to achieve; If the dry battery can be successful, then at least the telegraph can be realized, as long as we pull up the telegraph pole, from Guangdong can write to the people in Beijing, of course, the loss in the middle will be very large, and the price of writing a letter will be very expensive......"
Some of her could understand and some of her couldn't, but she never asked Ding Yi why she knew these things, nor did she ask where Ding Yi came up with so many strange objects. She just listened quietly, using his wife's gentleness to heal his wounds and fill the void.
The days, leisurely, passed like this for more than ten days.
"It's about the longest vacation I've had in a decade." When Ding began to resume his thunderous morning exercises, he took the towel handed by Liu Yiyi, he laughed, wiped the sweat from his head and face as he spoke, and walked to the well habitually, regardless of spring, autumn, winter or summer, he would sit by the well for a while, and after collecting the sweat, he would take a cold shower.
But this time Liu Yiyi stopped him: "Husband, if it doesn't work, you have to wash the hot water, and the water is boiled." ”
Ding Yi didn't insist, nodded and said, "Okay, it's all up to you." ”
Looking at Ding Yi's figure walking into the bathroom, Liu Yiyi smiled a little bitterly.
In the past ten years, Liu Yiyi has calculated very clearly that there is very little time that really belongs to her, and she can be accurate to the hour.
She knows very well that from today, when Ding started to early, this man will no longer belong only to her.
In fact, before Ding Yi came out of the bathhouse, Ding Junyue ran over and kowtowed to say goodbye, Liu Yiyi would not be like Zhang Yu, beware of Ding Junyue changing from a righteous daughter to a concubine, but looking at the heavy cowhide combat bag that the latter was carrying on her body, she smiled bitterly: "In this world, there is only one concubine, are you worried that your father will be tired?" ”
She is different from Zhang Yu, whether it is her focus or her own temperament, it is always different.
She is indeed interested and talented in running a business, but what she longs for more is the ordinary life of her husband and wife.
It's a pity that he is not an ordinary person after all, and neither is she.
"Mother's forgiveness!" Ding Junyue is close to Liu Yiyi and Tianyuan, after all, when they were in Rongcheng when they were children, they watched them grow up, and at this time, listening to Liu Yiyi's blame, she made a grimace, and came to Liu Yiyi's side and said, "This matter is too big, Senior Brother Chen San is not easy to decide, so I still have to come from Mr.'s side." ”
"Show it to me." Ding Yi happened to change his clothes and came out, and when he heard this, he stretched out his hand to Ding Junyue.
Ding Junyue didn't dare to bow down to Ding Yi, she knew that Ding Yi was disgusted with this thing, and after greeting her, she took out a large stack of files, put the abridgement on it, and handed it to Ding Yi with both hands.
Liu Yiyi looked at it and went out of the courtyard and instructed Yahuan's subordinates to prepare breakfast.
"Queen?" Ding Yi flipped through the file, the abridgement was clearly done, and he was also a criminal policeman who had solved countless cases, and the specifications of various reports were all made according to the pattern in Ding Yi's memory, and for him, it was very direct to see the context. Although there is no direct evidence, all the clues point to the queen.
The executor of the poisoning case, from making the bowl of white fungus soup to sending the soup to Zhu Jianshen's case, five people before and after handled it, and all five of them have been arrested. Ding Junyue transferred a platoon of soldiers from each of the Dragoon Guards and the Second Division of the Ming Dynasty, all of whom were from the Duyin tribe, equipped with grenadiers and four machine guns, and took care of these five people separately.
"There is no confession, except for the person who poisoned him, saying that he has a grudge against the prince, the other four people all said that they did not know."
Ding Yi smiled when he heard it, but didn't say anything, this kind of trick, he saw a lot of it when he was a criminal policeman.
is nothing more than being promised heavy profits, this person is just preparing to exchange his life for the happy life of the family or other people he cares about. Or feel that even if you confess, you won't be able to live, so it's better to carry it down.
"Father, or you will be tortured!" Ding Junyue whispered on the side. 、
Ding Yi shook his head and said, "This case can't be opened, otherwise what's the difference with the factory guard?" Miki, what confession do you want that you can't ask? ”
At this time, Liu Yiyi came into the courtyard, and Ding Yi taught her to come over and said to her: "There must be a Lao Niangzi." ”
"If you can share your husband's worries, it matters so much that your concubine is happy." This is not nonsense, being able to participate in Ding Yi's affairs will make Liu Yiyi feel like they are dependent on each other.
"You enter the palace and ask to see the queen, and then tell her to teach her to come over as much as possible."
Ding Junyue listened and couldn't help but speak: "Sir, this is not appropriate, is it?" ”
How could it be appropriate to let the queen go out of the palace to meet the courtiers? It's just that no matter how strong the saint is, he can hand the sign in at any time, and he can see him at any time, that's it, how can he call the queen out?
Ding Yi picked up the stack of texts, patted it on his hand, and said with a smile: "There's nothing inappropriate, you let her hold her back, and then tell her, I'll teach her to come over, just do it." ”
Liu Yiyi quickly entered the palace on the grounds of settling the business accounts of the joint venture with the royal family, and came back before noon, nodded at Ding Yi and said, "Niangniang said that she knew, and asked the concubine to thank her husband." ”
Hearing this, Ding Yi's face became gloomy, which showed a problem, that is, the queen knew: why did Ding Yi call her over! (To be continued......)
