Chapter 8: The Duel (17)
"This is not a royal way, nor is it a domineering, it is a sophistry." Ding Yi made a choice, his choice was to give up the option of assassination, "The assassination may not be successful, even if it is poured out." "Because, according to Princess Anna, the Knights Templar had done it five or six times, it was impossible for Mehmed II to swagger towards Paris.
Moreover, through the battle of Guò Smyrna, Ding Yi also felt that Mehmed II had a strong sense of the battlefield. For example, after encountering machine guns and mortars, they immediately responded to the situation, so that the cavalry would no longer attack in a dense charging formation. For an enemy leader who has just been exposed to the new weapon, this reaction can be said to be excellent.
"Even Mehmed II may use a stand-in, do not be surprised, do not underestimate the opponent." Ding Yiqu knocked on the table with his fingers and said to Cao Jixiang, "Barbarians, it's just a matter of talking about it, if you really use this kind of big country chauvinism mentality in terms of tactics, you will definitely die without knowing how to die." ”
Cao Jixiang hurriedly bent down and responded: "Your Majesty Xià Shengming!" The old slave kept it in mind, and did not dare to forget! ”
Ding Yi rubbed his temples and gave up the assassination operation, which was also a difficult choice for him, because it was a temptation, especially for him, who was born as a soldier king! So it seems that it is to give Cao Jixiang a thorough analysis, and as if to sort out his own thoughts: "The chance of an assassination not succeeding is very high, and even if it succeeds, our friendship with France is inevitable." ”
"Your Majesty, there's no way the French can catch any evidence from us." Cao Jixiang thought for a moment and said carefully, "Even if the operation fails." At least we don't have a problem withdrawing and returning. "It was impossible for Mehmed II to carry the urban cannon with him, without the threat of artillery fire. The guard regiment, which has all kinds of face killing weapons, is indeed inadmissible. Retreat is not a problem either. What Cao Jixiang said is not unreasonable.
Ding Yi shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Evidence? Do you think this is Bao Longtu's Kaifeng Mansion Promotion? ”
Between the monarchs of the kingdoms, where do you ask for what evidence? As long as it is determined that it was done by a certain force, just as it is clear that the assassination of the Knights Templar has nothing to do with Ding Yi, but Mehmed II's revenge is absolutely firm and vicious, and it is impossible to say that this matter is not necessarily Ding Yi's doing, so he went to collect evidence. That's!
This is true not only today, but also thousands of years from now. Between countries, it's nothing more than can't afford to endure it, it's too troublesome for everyone to talk about, and if it's not pleasing to the eye, find a reason to beat up. People can talk about evidence between people, but between countries, it would be idiotic to expect evidence.
For example, if Ding Yi now has 20 divisions and hundreds of thousands of troops in Europe, then he came to Paris to play a duel with Mehmed II because of cerebral palsy, right? What if Ding Yi is like a bamboo? How long can the ammunition last if you advance away from the coastline? Who will guard the place that has been laid? Without ammunition, no matter how good the troops are. If the cold weapon combat is consumed, there will be casualties, that is, the will is like iron, the first division of the Praetorian Guard and a guard regiment. How many battles can it withstand? I can hold it, but I can't expand it.
The same is true of Muhammad II, who had a hundred urban cannons on hand. It has long been around Smyrna, and it has smashed Smyrna. As long as Ding Yi is driven into the sea, he won't come to Paris to have such a hellish duel! Why don't you see him in Constantine. A duel with Constantine XI? In that case, the latter must be more than welcome, right? Smyrna can't be defeated, it's a heart disease for him, Ding Yi shows his combat effectiveness like this, and he may advance along the coastline again at any time. It's the initiative of the war, and it's not in his hands. He can't beat Ding Yi, and if Ding Yi wants to fight, he can only fight, which is called no way.
This belongs to the relationship of "provoking it, everyone thinks it is too troublesome", so there will be such a compromise duel.
"There is no point in an assassination attempt with a low probability of success at the risk of tearing the face with France." Ding Yi made a summary, "Let him enter Paris, we will let Western Europe tremble when they hear the banner of the Ming Dynasty, and show our strength in a dignified manner." ”
Cao Jixiang was also enthusiastic on the side: "Your Majesty is a true hero, when you dominate the world, all countries will come to the court!" ”
"We don't seek hegemony, we love peace and don't seek hegemony." Ding Yi said with a smile.
"The old slave lost his words, the old slave lost his words!" Cao Jixiang smiled so much that his wrinkles could be knotted.
Ding Yi instructed Cao Jixiang: "Call Chu Jiu over." ”
Stepping on the thick carpet, Qian Chujiu immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Ding Yi: "Hello to the old man, child!" ”
If you want to say that this person is a mix, but he is still a little clever, otherwise, why do Liu Yiyi, Tianzhi, and Ding Ruyu all spoil him? No matter how mixed this guy is, there are two things that are never lacking, one is that the etiquette is comprehensive, after all, growing up with the British duke, the circle of powerful people is mixed up, this is exquisite, every New Year's holiday, it should be cared for, it should be dotted, it should be honored, and it will not be in vain; One is money, Qian Chujiu is greedy for money, but for money, he is very conscious, and would rather write to Liu Yiyi and others, crying poor by selling small things, rather than using a little money in the military and politics.
"Get up, how many times have you said it? I'm most impatient with kowtow bugs. Ding Yi greeted him and stretched out his hand to signal him to sit down.
Qian Chujiu carefully sat on half of his buttocks, but he was fat, and he had to straighten his chest and abdomen, which was not ordinary tiredness. Ding Banban closed his eyes, stared at him and didn't speak, and without half incense, this guy couldn't collapse. slipped off the chair all of a sudden, and said with a bitter face: "Doctor, the child is still kneeling steadily!" ”
"and sit down." Ding Yi was so amused by him that he couldn't keep his face tight, pointed at him and scolded with a smile, "You might as well go with Lao Cao and partner to talk about storytelling." You two guys, don't do business, and do some funny jokes all day long! ”
"Sir. Cao Chuzao can't go to tell a story. Qian Chujiu replied very seriously.
Cao Jixiang said on the side: "Ninth Young Master, are you merciful?" ”
"Come here." Ding Yi smiled and his stomach hurt, of course he knew what Qian Chujiu meant, it was the eunuch who told the story-there was really no more.
Stretched out his hand and slapped the back of Qian Chujiu's head, Ding Yi scolded: "Joke about other people's defects, there is such a talker?" If people want to compare you to a pig, will you be happy? Apologize to Lao Cao! Qian Chujiu covered his head and smiled at Cao Jixiang, who naturally had to smile bitterly and said that he didn't care.
"Boss, the child has made a plan today, and he is here to invite Ying!"
Listening to Qian Chujiu's words, Ding Yi was taken aback: "Did you eat the wrong thing?" ”
"Back to the old man's words, after the child went through the battle in Smyrna, he knew that the present is not the past! Why don't men wear Wu hooks! Every time I think about the demeanor of the old man, the child's heart is surging and can't be himself! Therefore, if you dare to ask the boss to hand over the matter of a hundred people to the children to handle it, you will not fall into my Ximing national prestige! Qian Chujiu looked fierce and fierce, and it was really scary to watch.
"Speak human words." It's a pity that Ding Yi was unmoved, and coldly threw a sentence over, "No matter your eyes, your facial expressions, your body language, hehe, they are betraying you." If you don't say anything, you get out. ”
Qian Chujiu's fat face immediately relaxed: "The boss's eyes are like electricity, and the child is boring for himself." ”
"Don't pat yourself on the back, let's talk." If Ding Yi can be deceived by this guy, that's the hell.
"Can you not let Zhao Di join the lineup of the 100-person duel?" Qian Chujiu asked with a sneer.
Di's fighting level is very good, in the guard regiment, of course, the top ten can't be ranked, and the top fifty naturally doesn't have her share, but the top 100 should be no problem. So Qian Chujiu was very worried, she was selected to join the dueling lineup, because this was a duel with cold weapons.
Ding Daqi asked a few words carefully, only to find out that Qian Chujiu didn't know what nerves he was doing, and he fell in love with Lieutenant Zhaodi. This would be worried that if Zhao Di joined the dueling lineup of 100 people, wouldn't it be dangerous? So I wanted to come to Ding Yi for an errand, so that I could use the public for personal gain and exclude Lieutenant Zhaodi from the list.
"Zhao Di promised to let the elders in your family propose?" Ding Yi was a little incredulous, because if he really had eyebrows, then Qian Chujiu would have come to him a long time ago. In this Western Europe, Ding Yi is his elder, is he still waiting to return to Huaxia to find his father? Besides, Ding must be under the family matter, is it possible that Qian Chujiu's father will oppose it?
Qian Chujiu listened, and his face turned red: "This, Lieutenant Zhaodi and the child, but the mountain alliance and the sea oath, even if you have no chance in this life, you will meet in the next life!" The child is not lying, but Zhao Di is a woman after all, thin-skinned, embarrassed to submit the marriage application, if the boss is in charge, let her marry the child as a wife, but it is the best! ”
"Is it okay to talk to people?"
"She said I wanted to marry her, for the rest of my life." Qian Chujiu told the truth in frustration. This is the reality of meeting in the afterlife.
Ding Yi sneered when he heard this, and said directly to Qian Chujiu, "I said, can Zhao Di take a fancy to you?" Okay, don't talk nonsense, you go and get in touch with Bruno and Georges and help them set up a French republic. Now that this errand is done, the Venezuelan side may consider letting you go to the Governor to take care of the matter. ”
Qian Chujiu had a bitter face when he heard this: "Boss, the child is only willing to follow you and wait!" Although the boss is in full bloom in the spring and autumn, all the teachers and uncles should be in charge; Uncle Xiao was far away in China, and Uncle Bin also went to Crete. The child is by the old man's side, and sooner or later it will be ......"
"Speak human words." Ding Yi interrupted him impatiently.
"That, that's the Americas, there are wild people everywhere, and I heard that there are headhunters, and the children don't want to go." Qian Chujiu couldn't look confused, and honestly said his original intention, how could he want to go? Qinggui has to be a Beijing official, he has been in the British Mansion in Beijing for so many years, this is not that he does not understand, he is not a motivated goods, and he does not want to make money, let alone go to Venezuela to suffer?
