Chapter Seven: The Wind and the Depression (16)
Coming from China through thousands of miles of sea ships, and speeding from the wooden bones to Smyrna without stopping, even if he was as strong as Chen San, he looked a little weak. So when he saw Ding Yi, he just wanted to salute, but was stopped by Ding Yi: "Eat, trim your face, take a bath, don't sleep well, don't be in a hurry at this time." ”
Chen San grinned, but he still lifted his robe, pushed Jin Shan and poured the jade pillar down, and kowtowed a few times at Ding Yi before he spoke: "Sir, the unscrupulous disciple Chen San has asked you for peace!" This was his father's advice on his deathbed, telling him to wait for Ding Yi as if he were serving himself.
In addition to the cunning of small farmers, the Chinese people also do not lack the kindness of thanksgiving pictures. Chen San's parents believe that it was Ding Yi who changed their fate, and it was Ding Yi who gave their son the future of his ancestors. They don't know what Chinese sword must guard China's plow, and what strong man will be punished even if he is far away. But they knew Ding Yi's kindness.
So he told his son to repay Ding Yi in this simple way.
Ding Yi shook his head helplessly, helped Chen San up, and said, "Why are you so stubborn?" How many times has it been said? ”
"Etiquette can't be wasted, besides, my father specially told me before he left." Chen San said with a smile, seeing Ding Yi, his face was a little pale, but he really gave birth to a little blood. Ding slapped him on the back of the head, Chen San covered his head and smiled, "Mr. taught his disciples to come over, but he didn't eat and sleep." ”
"Let's take care of your body, things are not in such a hurry." Ding Yi looked at Chen San and let out a long sigh, since Liu Tie passed away, he had begun to be a little afraid of the bodies of these disciples. Will it be because of his too strict orders that he will lead to their early death? So he really didn't allow Chen San to say any more. So they drove him down to eat.
Although Chen San is only three or four years younger than Ding Yi, he does respect Ding Yi as much as his father. Seeing that Ding became serious, he had no choice but to withdraw. Liu Ji greeted him, but said with a wry smile: "Senior brother, this matter is auspicious, I didn't follow the boss's charter and hide the news." ”
He was referring to the news of the death of Liu Tie and Li Xian, but he didn't press it according to what Yu Qian said.
Chen San shook his head when he heard this and said, "Let's talk about it, senior brother, I am not as knowledgeable as you." But on the old man's side, I wouldn't dare to lie to him anyway. You tell the old man directly that it is right, otherwise you will really make a mistake, and then you will become a sinner. "He can't talk about loyalty and admiration for Qian at all - not to mention Yu Qian, even the Ming Emperor, for Chen San, he doesn't take it very seriously.
"Old man?" Liu Ji shuddered, of course he knew that this was Ding Yi, but he didn't think it was too good to call it that. Liu Ji is still different from Chen San. The bottom line is obviously not in one dimension. Liu Ji's dedication to etiquette is much more stubborn, for example, as long as conditions permit, he will definitely not sit side by side with Ding. Not to mention such a slang appellation. For him, it was unacceptable.
On the contrary, Chen San didn't pay much attention to this: "Hey, Xiao Zhangzi is called that." I also screamed and smoothed my mouth. ”
He dared to be so casual because of his feelings for Ding Yi. It's much simpler and more sincere than Liu Ji, so it's something to consider. It's also much less: "It's okay, Mr. won't be surprised, at most he will be slapped off the back of his head by Mr., hehe, okay, okay!" It's just a matter of changing it for my brother. ”
"Senior brother, Mr. is the emperor, and he will soon establish the capital of the country, how can he be so casual? At this time, it was not the year of Goldfish Alley. Liu Ji frowned and said to Chen San, not that he had a good relationship with Chen San, but that he could see that Chen San was very trustworthy, and he could send Chen San Governor Guanwai for seven or eight years at any time, and it was a very cost-effective benefit for him to befriend Chen San, so he lowered his voice to Chen San and said, "Shen Yan, senior brother!" ”
Chen San was a smart person, so he naturally knew that Liu Ji's words were right, so he thanked him and followed Liu Ji down to eat.
"Mr. asked me to come over so urgently, apart from Liu Zijian's death, is there anything else?" Chen San asked Liu Ji while picking up the rice. This made Liu Ji frown, although he had been in the army with Ding Yi for a long time, but after all, he was born as a jinshi, and the habit of paying attention to food and not saying anything could not be changed.
However, Liu Ji always knew the priority, still thought about it, organized the wording, and said: "Over there in North America, Senior Brother Wei can still support it. It's just that there are some difficulties on the Ottoman side. Senior Brother Zhanzhi is too upright, and Mr. is not very easy to persuade; Senior Brother Shichang is based in Ceuta, and it is difficult to mobilize his hands to support the Americas at any time; Mr. Zosai is stationed in Guinea for a long time, and the factories and mines there are very large, and they should not be taken lightly. ”
Chen San swallowed the mutton in his mouth, picked up the egg drop soup on the side and poured it into the bowl, drank half a bowl of it, and laughed: "What's wrong with Senior Brother Du?" He is a capable person, and the two wides are in his hands, and those years have been safe and sound. Could it be that when you come to Fanbang, you are not accustomed to the water and soil? ”
Liu Ji could only tell the situation with a wry smile, Du Ziteng is naturally capable, but he is a complete narrow-minded nationalist! This is not great power chauvinism, great power chauvinism looks down on other countries, and Du Ziteng completely feels that blacks are not worthy of serving under him! In fact, the same is true for white people, many of the Egyptian divisions are also of white blood, including the young men of Smyrna, most of them are of Greek blood, and as a result, Du Ziteng chose for a long time, which means white? Well, you can be a people's husband. Blacks don't even qualify to be people's husbands.
Chen San was also stunned when he heard this, he didn't seem to find out that Du Ziteng had this problem in Huaxia.
"Not really, right? Whether it is the soldiers of Miao Village, the Tartars outside the Guan, or the senior brother of Zhanzhi, he can be called a colleague, and he used to write to me often, saying that he could not discriminate against them, and he must treat them equally in order to build this unified empire. How did you get out of the sea and become like this? ”
"Egypt." Liu Ji also smiled bitterly when he said it.
It is true that it was not possible before, including the Foreign Legion of North Korea, Du Ziteng also used it well.
But the current Egyptian female pharaoh Mo Rena is an important factor in Du Ziteng's change.
Because after getting Egypt, Morena did not want to go back to China, and even her own children did not want to pay attention to it, and happily stayed in Egypt to be her female pharaoh. Therefore, Du Ziteng felt unbearable about this, and thought that Xiyi was shameless, no matter black or white, his heart could be punished.
Chen San also smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Are the Chinese people faithful and filial?" Come on, is it rare for people in the countryside to fight for family property until their heads are broken and bleeding? After the separation, it is rare to ignore the old mother? In a famine year, it is needless to say that selling children and daughters is easy to eat! , how much better is it than this Kunlun slave and the white ghosts? ”
Saying that, Chen San drank the remaining half of the bowl of egg drop soup, but said to Liu Ji: "Youzhi, you give your brother a thorough explanation, what does the old man want?" Do you want me to go and level the Ottomans? Fuck it, this big cannibal is a big land, looking at the battle report you sent back, there are also cannons and armor. I'm afraid that it will be a while and a half, and it is not easy to fight. But it's okay, I brought three thousand sons of the grassland over, and I stayed in the wooden bones, and I took my time to fight and raise my war. ”
"What does Mr. mean, Ji doesn't dare to figure it out." Liu Ji simply brushed it off, it was right that he wanted to get closer to Chen San, but he didn't dare to let himself be covered with the name of figuring out his intentions, this is definitely not a good thing, he and Chen San are not familiar to this extent, so he cleverly diverted the topic, "The top priority now is to dissuade Mr. from doing that duel!" ”
Then he told Chen San about the duel between Ding Yi and Muhammad II, and said: "Ji has nothing to do!" ”
"It's all settled, what else to give?" Chen San wiped his mouth disapprovingly and got up, and walked in the direction of Ding Yi's study, but said to Liu Ji, "In Paris, send more of your own people." And how was Mohammed II skilled? Is there any information here? It's only right to hurry up and collect intelligence, if that guy really has the courage to stop, watch send a few special teams over, and cripple him first! What's the big fart, what's there to worry about? ”
Chen San is different from Liu Ji, after all, he has been the governor for nearly ten years, and the way he has responded to various situations is that Ding Yi asked him to solve it, not to change Ding Yi's thinking. Ding Yi decided to duel? Okay, then just cripple Muhammad II.
The words are not rough, Liu Ji was stunned for a long time when he listened, and looked at the back of Chen San, who had left, and stretched to the ground: "Teachable!" ”
Ding Yi looked at Chen San, who had shaved his beard and came over after eating, nodded and said to him, "Sit." ”
Chen San was not hypocritical, and sat down and asked, "Sir, you command." ”
"I want you to go to the Americas and bring Wei Wencheng back." Ding Yi thought for a while, pointed to the map and said to Chen San, "My requirements are not high, you work hard to see if you can achieve self-sufficiency in food and soldiers like Wan Xunji in South America within three years." ”
Chen San looked at the map, the territory that Liu Tie fought down in North America was pitifully small compared to South America. But this was not what he cared about, he thought for a while and said to Ding Yi: "Sir, this is not appropriate. I'm afraid that the story of the military household of the guard station will be restored again! ”
When Ding listened, he felt his heart move, but he couldn't help but nod slightly.
It's not that he can't listen to other people's opinions, but whether this opinion is constructive or not, just like Chen San's opinion, Ding Yi can listen to it: "Well, what San'er said is extremely true, but he didn't think about it for the teacher." He also taught people to pass Liu Ji and Cao Jixiang over, "This matter should not be taken lightly, I don't know the disadvantages of it, Da Ming was deeply affected before, and this time it will definitely jump out." Wait until you come up with a charter. ”
Ding Yi can't do everything, no matter how diligent he is, all he can do is make decisions.
And the question raised by Chen San is very strict and reasonable. If you are satisfied with the self-sufficiency of the American troops, isn't that the military household of the Guardhouse? In this case, how can the central government's restraint on the local governments be reflected? It's a problem with the whole system. (To be continued......)
