Chapter 3: Java (14)

"I also like to fight." Ding Yi said this to Bao Lige with the same feeling, while helping him up, Cao Jixiang also picked up the crutch and handed it over to him to make him well, Ding Yi shook his head and said, "In this era, I really like to fight, no matter how many enemies there are, I just want to ask where the enemy is?" Then I will lead you and send them out of this world...... It's a pity that even I can't go to war right now, let alone take you with me. ”

Ding Yi was a little depressed, now he knew that it was impossible for him to leave Java for the time being, if the situation in Java was becoming stable, then he could naturally board the destroyer in the port, take Li Yuncong and the soldiers of the Marine Brigade, and go to the Kingdom of Arakan to meet Wang Yue and the others, who had been preparing for several months, and sail to Egypt, to Baghdad, to Europe and the Americas.

But in this situation, how can he walk?

So the port city of Sulu Mayi began to recruit people to dig a very deep foundation, because there are many active volcanoes in Java, there are often earthquakes, so Ding Yi did not dare to deal with the same as building a fort in Wuzhou and Guanwai, and he still attached great importance to the foundation from the beginning, and then when the fleet sent to Daming to transport ploughing cattle and old farmers came back, he also brought back cement according to Ding Yi's needs, so Sulu Mayi began to build an extremely ugly building with bamboo reinforced concrete.

Because of the fear of earthquakes, the building is very low, but this building, which is based on the design of the fortress and then slightly modified according to the topography, is the same as the bunker-style academy built in Yunyuan, and has also been given a name by the indigenous people of Surumayi, called Daming Fort.

Ding Yi could only stay in this fortress temporarily. Because Zhu Dong was still in the midst of the chaos, he had been fighting, and the fleet that had returned to Daming to transport ploughing cattle came back. is still fighting and quelling chaos, and it hasn't stopped all the way. Two battalions of the 2nd Marine Brigade were stationed in Surumayi, both equipped with Gatling machine guns, breech-loading rifled rifles, and mortars. Two or three times, it was just a trouble, and it soon went down. The fastest one is less than half an hour.

As soon as Ding invited the mosque to come to him, he asked him in the bazaar in public, "Does the Qur'an have such a teaching?" Ah Yi said yes, and Ding Yi taught him to turn out the scriptures. Yes, indeed. For example, it is not allowed to be in stagnant water, and it is not allowed to eat non-halal food, etc., and it is not Ding someone who made it up, so the troublemaker was killed immediately.

The number of people who went to the mosque was really decreasing, but the Ah Men were summoned by Ding Yi from time to time, and they were rewarded, and they gradually became aware of the form, and stopped going about preaching - in fact, it was the time of the ploughing cattle and the old peasants. Basically, no one in the city of Surumayi wants to listen to their preaching. And so another two months passed. After discussing it with the mosque, he took the initiative to propose to Ding Yi that he wanted to join the Chinese Religious Alliance, and every ten years he had nothing to do with those Taoist priests and monks who Ding Yi got from the Ming Dynasty to drink tea together, and read their own "Tao Te Ching", "Gu Lan Hong", and "Diamond Sutra", but they also got along well.

When the monk saw Ding Yi, he also asked if he could follow Tang Sanzang and go to Tianzhu to learn scriptures? Ah Ku looked at it and thought about when he would make a pilgrimage to the Ka'ba in Mecca; The Taoist priest came to beg Ding Yi to let them return to China, which is where Taoism originated. Ding Yi was very talkative, and said to the monk and Ah Kuo: "Okay, you can do a good job of the religious environment here, when will you take down Tianzhu and Mecca, I don't understand Buddhism and Muslims, and then I can consider letting you professionals to handle it." ”

When he said this, he didn't dare to ask any more questions from the monks and the prostrates.

However, those Taoist priests quarreled with Ding Yi several times, and Ding Yi meant to say: "Isn't there a saying that saviors will not become Buddhas if they don't finish crossing?" Isn't it good for you to come out with me and spread the faith? "Who knows that the scholars will not do it, saying that they are not Buddhist! Without that, they didn't commit a crime, so why were they exiled abroad? No matter how big a loyal official is, he can't harm people like this, right? A Taoist priest said directly: "If it doesn't work, the grandfather will be convicted of a crime and send Xiaodao back to Huaxia to kill him!" Xiaodao just wants to die in the land of Daming! ”

Ding Yi had to sigh at the goodness of the Chinese nation, even this Taoism was not aggressive, and he had no choice but to avoid those Taoist priests in the future, because he himself felt that he was at a loss, people really didn't commit any crimes, and they were deceived like this and didn't let them go back...... Those Taoist priests immediately rose to prominence in Surumayi, and the matter was solved by Wang Zhen, who came from Temasek later.

Wang Zhen, a military idiot, seems to be much stronger than Ding in dealing with internal affairs, at least he proposed the introduction of ploughing cattle and old farmers, there are bison in Java, but domestication also takes time, plus the natives here are lazy, and although the farmland covered with volcanic ash is very fertile, agriculture is not very developed. After inviting old farmers from Huaxia, introducing a batch of cultivated cattle, and taming bison, at least in Sulu Mayi, it seems that the development of the whole city has gradually improved.

As for the question of Taoism, Wang Zhen listened to Ding Yi's exclamation, and said in surprise: "Where did Rujin start with this? Why don't you mention the Yellow Turban Rebellion? Ding Yi listened, but felt that it also made sense, the Yellow Turban Rebellion at the end of the Han Dynasty could also be counted as Taoism, so he handed over those Taoist priests to Wang Zhen for training - whether it was the government or the army, Ding Yi did not dare to let this Uncle Wang Shi get his hands on it, it was one thing to take care of Ding Yi when he was in power, this genius who was about to play bad with the 20th army and hundreds of thousands of people, except for Yingzong, no one could afford to use it, Ding Yi did not plan to take this risk.

Asked him to take care of religion, and he found something for him to do, and then after a few days, Ding Yi had to sigh that there was a specialization in the art industry, Wang Zhen, a military idiot, was really talented in doing bad things, Yingzong called him Mr., and it was not for nothing, the Taoist priest who had nothing to do with Ding Yi to give an explanation finally gave a living, and then he was very active in spreading the teachings, Sulu Mayi suddenly had a lot of Taoist believers, until one day Ding Yi went to the village below, and listened to what the natives who were preaching said: "Believe in Ding Yi, get eternal life!" The natives below echoed heartbreakingly, Ding Yi felt frightened, and when he returned to Sulu Mayi, he hurriedly asked Wang Zhen what was going on?

"Those Taoist priests, who deceive the believing men and women of their belongings on weekdays, will there be fewer means?" Wang Zhen smiled disapprethoughtly and said, "It's just that you don't have a good show and are reasonable, so they have a gentleman who can bully the party!" Uncle Wei told them, there are twenty of them, this Java is celebrating the New Year this year, if there are no 2,000 registered believers, there is no need for them to be Taoist priests, teach them to be castrated, return to Xiao Cao's hands, and go to the Zhongguo Mansion to wait; If it is full of 2,000 and less than 10,000, it is an attempt to betray the country and seek glory, so they will pick a man from their family in Huaxia and kill them as a substitute. ”

Ding Yi really didn't know how to speak, and it took a long time before he said, "Uncle Shi, you don't follow the law with such a meal......

"They said the same thing at the beginning, but our family only knows that it is for the emperor, for the court, for the Ming Dynasty, and the law? If the captain of the horse commits a crime, he should be sent to prison! Wang Zhen said proudly, "We only ask them 'the law?'" Looking for two old officials, what crime can't be solved? When they listened, they didn't teach them to chew their wife's tongue anymore, and went on errands honestly, for as Jin was, you were too kind-hearted......

So Ding Yi smiled bitterly, and had nothing to say, but on the second day, he taught Wang Zhen to return to Temasek to recuperate on the grounds that things were on track. He said that if there was anything inappropriate, he would ask Uncle Shi to go out of the mountains and send a boat to send Wang Zhen back to Temasek. Let him go on like this, don't force out a Huang Xiaoyang or Hou Dagou in Java, it will really be out of control.

In December of the fourteenth year of orthodoxy, Sulu Mayi, Gou Village, Duban and Majapahit were basically settled, and these places all had academies, not branches of Rongcheng Academy, Huaxia Academy specializing in teaching moral articles, Ding Yi sent people to Huaxia, and invited the unsuccessful Qiu Feng Dull Xiucai over, originally few people were willing to come, but Ding Yi made a promise, saying that the students had passed the Chinese proficiency test, and they would be given an official status, not the official of this overseas state, but the actual position in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of the Ming Dynasty. Why did they get gray beards? Isn't it just to be an official?

Listening to the fact that he can come back in five years, among the Chinese people, Ding's credit is still very good, so there are many talents who have signed up, and there are hundreds of people before and after, and there are even two people, these two are not for being officials, but listening to the education of Di Yi, and feel that it is an opportunity to make meritorious contributions, establish virtues, and establish three immortals, and come for the ideal.

"I hate days like this." Ding Yi went down to the village on the edge of Surumayi again, and after trying archery with Bulgari, he sighed and said, "I really don't like to live like this, I like to kill people, I like to smell the smell of gunsmoke, I like to ride a war horse and gallop......"

Bulgari took off the bowstring coil and said sullenly, "Yes, yes! It's so boring, the mother-in-law here is black and thin, and Bulgari is afraid that she will be crushed to death if she presses it, sir, take Bulgree to kill! ”

Ding Yi took the clothes handed by Cao Jixiang and put them on, and patted Bao Gree on the shoulder: "Train hard, Guo Jin is a good soldier...... I think it's about the same, after the New Year, we will strive to equip all seven battalions here with Jingtai three-year rifles, and then we should go to Baghdad for a walk...... Well, you haven't married yet, have you? Wait until Northern Europe and find you a Yanma as a daughter-in-law, that's not better than you! ”

Bulgari touched his head happily and laughed, and at this time a fast horse galloped from outside the village, looking at the red feathers pinned to the cavalryman's hat, Ding Yimali got dressed, but he was afraid that something had happened. (To be continued......)
