After the military report of the wooden bones was sent to the Tianjin Garrison, it was sent to Beijing by the Tianjin Garrison, which was actually four months ago due to the wind and waves on the sea. And this information was provided by the Israelis, who have a lot of business in West Asia and Europe, and if they had not provided this information on their own initiative, the Egyptian intelligence services would have collected it themselves, but I am afraid that it would have been a little later.

Even if the Ming Dynasty provided Constantine with an arquebus, even if the Ming Dynasty provided a sea support voyage in the Mediterranean, even if Ding sent Yang Shan to instigate around Europe and organize volunteers to enter Constantine, it still failed to save the doomed Roman Empire.

Although it has survived for nearly ten years or so compared to the original history, just as penicillin cannot reverse Zhang Yu's death, there are some things that cannot be forced by manpower, and the problem of Eastern Rome is that it is already in the center of the Ottoman Empire, and it has lost all its territory, and there is only such a city.

Even if the Ottoman artillery was very backward, even so, the siege of the city that lasted for more than ten years was enough for Constantine to exhaust the last bit of strength.

However, Ding Yi's efforts are not meaningless.

At least one news from Constantine reached the Jingshi of the Ming Dynasty, and they didn't think it was meaningless for the Ming court or the Chinese people:

Constantine XI died on the walls of the city and refused to withdraw from the city;

But he sent his niece out of Constantinople, through a secret channel, and absconded by sea to the Knights Hospitaller in Rhodes in disguise. The Knights Hospitaller, based on Rhodes, did not know at the time that she was the niece of Constantine XI and was on the mission of the last Eastern Roman Empire. Instead, he thought that he was just a messenger asking for help from Daming, so he handed them over to the Daming Mediterranean Fleet.

And after arriving in Alexandria. The niece of Constantine XI revealed her identity.

Constantine XI had no children, and his niece Sofia was his closest descendant.

She showed Constantine's purple robe and sword, claiming that Constantine XI would give her Wen Jiàn at the last moment, and give the crown of Eastern Rome as a dowry to His Royal Highness the King of Jinghai County of the Ming Dynasty! And the purple robe and the saber are the evidence to be shown to the world, when they arrive at the Yamen of the Governor of the Suez Canal. She really took out the undamaged Wen Jiàn and handed it to Xu Bin, the governor of the canal, at this time, Yu Qian had not yet arrived in Egypt.

Xu Bin has already packed his luggage and is ready to return to the mainland of China, and he will enjoy his life in peace, where will he dismantle this article?

And when Yu Qian arrived, he also did not open this Wen Jiàn, he sent Wen Jiàn and Sofia to the Ming Jingshi together, and wrote a letter to Sofia to bring it. In the letter, he sued Sù Ding Yi, and if he wanted, Jian Yì was to take Sofia as a concubine.

So the court of the Ming Dynasty and the people of Beijing. On the day Sofia entered Beijing, there were really thousands of empty alleys vying to see this exotic princess, yes. The people don't care what kind of princess she is! If you are not a princess, how can you be worthy of Ding Rongcheng? Anyway, let's give her the title of princess first.

And there are many students of Guozijian. is even more fanatical in the Beijing division, their slogan is: "Your Royal Highness has accepted Princess Daqin." Following the orthodoxy of Great Qin, Great Qin has been the inherent territory of China since ancient times, and it is sacred and inviolable! Expel the Tartars and restore my old land! ”

Ding Yi, who personally inspected the railway in Tianjin, listened to the report from the Yamen of the Security Bureau, and shook his head with a wry smile: "It's all crazy, what have I done in the past ten years?" ”

How crazy is it? is so crazy that from the teahouse storyteller to the court boss, there is no one who comes out and says: "Although the country is big, the belligerent will die"!

In the past ten years, the people have been accustomed to hearing the good news of the Ming army, and they have been accustomed to Ding Rongcheng waving his army out, and everything is peaceful!

And the imperial court has also become accustomed to reaping huge war dividends from wars after wars;

The new capitalists and the old-fashioned gentry were also accustomed to plundering minerals, dumping goods, and obtaining cheap labor and art from the defeated countries after the victory of the Ming army. Even the Ministry of Rites has its own set of regulations on how to go to a foreign country and scrape the skin and make money!

No one thinks about failure, no one thinks about how to maintain such a long supply line, in their opinion, the sea is the sea of the Ming Dynasty, and above the sea, it is all owned by the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of the Ming Dynasty! And because of the elite army policy and the use of foreign legions, the casualties of the local soldiers are extremely low, and the disabled soldiers and martyrs are also well compensated, so no one stands up and chants: "Poor and uncertain riverside bones" and the like! Nor did anyone consider whether the current bereavement pension would still be guaranteed if the number of disabled soldiers and martyrs' families was two or three more zeros.

From the imperial court to the army, and even the people, they all felt that war was a rare opportunity, an opportunity to make a fortune, an opportunity to become an official, an opportunity to be promoted, and an opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

Except for Ding Yi.

War with the Ottoman Empire had never been in his plans, at least not in the current five-year plan.

"Sofia, I know her." Ding Yichang sighed, squatted on the side of the roadbed, and said to Liu Ji beside him.

Of course he knew about Sofia, and for a lover of historical examples, it was impossible not to know.

Unless you don't know that there is a country in the world called Russia.

Because if you know Russia, you will definitely know the title "Tsar".

The origin of the tsar is from Sofia.

Historically, she fled to Russia and married Ivan III, so the Russian monarchs after Ivan III regarded their country as a continuation of the Roman Empire, the third Rome after the Western and Eastern Romans, and called themselves Tsar, which means "Caesar" in Russian.

"It seems that the Rakshasas don't have a tsarist era anymore." Ding Yi straightened up with a wry smile, pointed to the paved rails, and said to Liu Ji, "I doubt that these rails are compatible, you let that locomotive come over again." His attention was still on the railway, and Ding Yi underestimated the fanaticism of the court and the people for Sofia.

Even at this time, he did not rush back to Jingshi, when he learned that Sofia was going to Jingshi. He went to the fold, please let the Ministry of Rites handle it. The legendary letter with fire paint is also asked to be opened by Zhu Jianshen, the Ming Emperor.

"As long as the railway from Tianjin to Beijing can be built. From Guangzhou to Beijing, you can use the railway and sea to go directly. ”

"The political envoys along the coast of the East China Sea first start from the capital city of the government for the Biqu Pavilion www.biquge.info, and start to build the railway in the north-south direction, to ensure that the track width is consistent, within ten years, build a railway from Guangzhou to Beijing, or, not a dream!"

"Yuyuki, you need to know. The significance of the first railway, when the first railway is realized, whether it is a parallel track or a railway that radiates out, it will be much easier, because this railway will be like a blood vessel, giving blood transfusions, transporting resources from all over the country through the guò railway! ”

"I know, I know that now it's slower than the Mongolian horse sprints. There is a process for this, and it will be faster in the future with the development of steam engine technology. ”

Because of the low level of smelting, it is impossible to remember Ding Yi at all. The most complete steam locomotives discontinued in 1988 were built and produced, although Ding Yi could depict six views from the steam engine to the drive. The lack of strength, toughness, hardness, etc. of metal parts makes it difficult to carry excessive horsepower output and mechanical operation.

So the current steam engine. It's still very backward.

It is even more backward than the trains of the western development of the United States.

But as long as the railroad gets up, these things. It's going to get better gradually.

This made Liu Ji very puzzled, and he couldn't hold back and finally asked, "Sir." The disciple is confused. ”

The way of the teacher is expensive to solve doubts.

Why worship a teacher? It is because the teacher can solve the confusion that the disciples do not understand.

Liu Ji's tone is not what he means when he should say it, but he really doesn't understand, and he hopes that Ding Yi will point out.

Ding nodded and motioned for him to ask his question. Liu Ji organized the wording before he spoke: "With the inheritance of the Roman Empire, why is Mr. indifferent?" ”

With the inheritance of the Roman Empire, with Liu Ji thinking about it, Ding Yi can be called emperor!

This Roman Empire was an ancient country at the same level as the strong man back then!

Ding Yi doesn't want to be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty? Well, now at least he can be the emperor of the Roman Empire!

These people who followed Ding Yi naturally had the merit of following the dragon.

Liu Ji and the bigwigs in the court have the same idea, he thinks that the new army of the Ming Dynasty has no fortress that cannot be conquered, and there is no enemy that cannot be defeated! As long as the ammunition is in place, the enemy is nothing more than a captive who has not yet disarmed!

"I understand your doubts."

Ding laughed and didn't blame Liu Ji for this.

"Ten miles away, there is a pear, guarded by a group of wolves, do you dare to grab it?"

Liu Ji hesitated for a moment, but still gritted his teeth and replied: "The disciple can invite the elite of the army to drive the wolf and take the pear!" ”

Ding Yi stroked his short beard and smiled: "Very good, this shows that you have the courage to see your own limit." ”

"But I'm not going to rob it, do you know why?"

"The disciple is stupid, please make it clear." Liu Ji gritted his teeth, and finally wanted to ask for an understanding.

Because he felt that Ding Yi's attitude towards foreign races was basically to take advantage of it, and he really couldn't figure it out.

"Just because I looked up, there was a dense pear tree in front of me, so close that I could reach it."

"Why do I have to go ten miles to recruit strong men, go and grab that pear with that pack of wolves?"

"No, I'm not going to grab that pear. I'll pick the pears first, within reach. ”

"Your doubts lie in the interests that you can't see, and you can reach around you."

"Learn to lift your head and spot those pears that are within reach." (To be continued......)

ps: Tomorrow my uncle will move out of the ward from the intensive care unit, and I will be busy for a while, so I will guarantee one chapter a day during this time, and I will have to go home two chapters early, as normal as possible.

My uncle has always been in good health, some time ago I suddenly felt weak heartbeat, I couldn't breathe, I began to think that I was too tired, just rest for a few days, I went to prescribe traditional Chinese medicine, but it didn't get better, I was forced by my cousin to go to the hospital for examination, and I found out that it was a ruptured heart valve ligament, and I needed to operate immediately, otherwise my life would be in danger at any time, if it wasn't for my cousin's insistence that he come out of Guangzhou University Hospital for examination......

Thinking about it is afraid, many old people are a little shy about illness and avoid medical treatment, thinking that it is good to stay up, if it is really up to him, he may regret it, health is still the most important, in front of the monitor will feel that a qiē is a floating cloud...... R1292
