Chapter 5: Winning the Door (6)

"Don't mess around, each has its own opinion, or go back to Beijing, and expel you from the division for the teacher, so that you can be a brother-in-law with peace of mind?" Ding Yichong reprimanded Zhang Mao angrily, and then said to him, "You go back to Beijing first, and marry a daughter from the British mansion ......."

Before Ding finished speaking, Zhang Mao intercepted him and said, "This is not right! He said reluctantly, "I also want to marry my sister, but the eldest mother is ...... well" for a concubine and marrying a daughter are two different things, China has been monogamous since ancient times, three wives and four concubines are just a joke, of course, in the Republic of China there is the concept of equal wives being recognized by law. Speaking of which, it is another large history of ancient women's blood and tears, in short, the status of concubines is lower than that of wives, there are wives, there are concubines, but there is no saying that concubines are married.

"Aren't you a child?" Ding Yi slapped him again, "Anyway, you are a child, you are ignorant and make trouble, and you will come to the palace to dissuade you, and use this cover to start the Tianzi No. 1 plan, understand?" "This is to teach Zhang Maoyi to sell small.

"Yes, sir!" Zhang Mao listened, didn't dare to make any more trouble, hurriedly answered, ran over to the stable, and immediately beckoned the twenty horsemen, got on the horse, and roared to the Jingshi. Ding Yi looked at Zhang Mao's back, in fact, he was quite weak-hearted, so he slapped Zhang Mao twice.

He took this disciple's sister as a concubine, which doesn't seem quite right from a moral point of view...... Is this a mess, or is it a mess?

"No, this is free love, this is a clarion call to war against the rotten Tsunsune of this old era! Yes, exactly. Ding Yi muttered, as if this would make his heart feel better. People always have some bottom line. For Ding Yi, as long as it is in accordance with the law and justice, he has no psychological obstacles at all. But there are still some things that he can't let go, for example, soon he thinks again, "I just don't know that beautiful woman, are you willing to commit to me?" Although I don't have to worry about not being able to afford a house now, after all, I am married three times...... Will Liu Yiyi and Natural Stay seek death and life? I'm so sorry for them......"

He always has his own moral bottom line and conscience, and he can't come to this era because of it. Just regard a qiē as calm. Fortunately, Ding Yi's psychological quality is still extremely good, and he quickly put this section down first, after all, what he has to face now. But there is absolutely no room for mistakes, and there is not much time for him to think about this kind of "you and me" thing.

Just when Xing'an was discussing with Shang Shi and Wang Wen about leaving tomorrow, Ding Yi beckoned a herald and whispered a few words to him. The herald saluted and galloped away. Not long after, there was a small boat from the Tianjin wharf to the open sea, if Xing'an looked at this small boat, I am afraid that he would fly back to Beijing on the spot, and would not discuss anything tomorrow with him.

Because this is a very special small ship, except for the sails, it is basically a monster, unlike Western-style battleships or Galen ships. The shape is different from the concept of Chinese-style Fu ship, whether it is a Western-style battleship, a Galen ship, or a clipper ship. They look like a ship after all. And this small boat was designed by Ding Yi and built in Xiangshan County, it is completely built in the style of modern Hydroptere sailboats, not to mention the people of this era, that is, from the perspective of modern people, they are a complete freak.

Of course, Ding didn't have the ability to equip the ship with hundreds of sensors to measure pressure, torque and speed, so that the hull could be constantly adjusted slightly. However, the Chinese people always have a way, especially for sailing ships, He Tiedan, an old pirate who followed Huang Xiao, led seven or eight old brothers, and relied on their years of experience in water life to control this small boat named "Shooting the Sun" by Ding Yi.

Although it can't reach a terrifying speed of 52.86 knots like modern equipment with sensors and various high-tech accessories, the design of the hull still makes it fly! The Galen ship is only nine knots, and the clipper ship is only twelve to fourteen knots, and one section is the speed of one nautical mile per hour, and this "Shooting Sun", in the case of losing the premise of high-tech accessories, and purely operating with experience, still has a terrible speed of about 30 knots, which is definitely worthy of its name, so although it is extremely risky to operate it - six ships were built during the same period, four of which have disintegrated and capsized at high speed, and nearly ten people have died, and one was when Ding Yi just took over the second division of the Ming Dynasty, in order to return to Guangxi to report the news. After flying along the coastline to Guangzhou Prefecture, it was damaged and had to send people to relay to Guangxi by land...... But He Tiedan's group of old pirates are still happy, and the feeling of flying makes them unable to suppress their addiction.

The reason why I specifically talk about this small boat is because from this Tianjin wharf to Nanpaihe Town in Cangzhou Prefecture, if you take the land route, there are more than 200 miles away, plus the road conditions of this era, I am afraid that there will be 300 miles. However, as far as the "Shooting Sun" is concerned, because the water surface is walking in a relatively straight line, that is, less than 100 kilometers, and 100 kilometers is 50 or 60 nautical miles, even if it does not dare to let go of running in order to ensure that the letter is delivered, the terrible speed of more than 20 knots will arrive in more than an hour.

As for the local aftermath affairs, how to block the news of the fleet's docking, naturally there are the personnel of the Security Bureau's yamen to handle the stopping, and under the condition that there are enough funds, under the condition that there are thousands of members of the Tiandihui and the Zhongyi Society in this town, this is not a big problem.

That's right, that's why he entered the customs in Xuanfu, because he didn't have to wait any longer! If he hadn't received the news of the arrival of the West Sea Fleet, Ding Yi, who had fundamentally completed the transformation from a soldier king to a high-level decision-maker, would not have ventured into the customs.

On this night, a lot of bonfires were lit at the wharf of Tianjin, in this cold and harsh winter, Xing'an, Shang Chen, and Wang Wen, who were accustomed to seeing the soldiers of the Daming Guard, were not too surprised by this kind of behavior, after all, it was a victorious army returning to the dynasty, even if it was arrogant, it was bearable. In fact, if it weren't for the purpose of pointing out the direction of the West Sea Fleet, it would be impossible for the troops under Ding Yi's command to expose their camp targets so much at night.

Of course, it was impossible for the "Shooting Sun" to sail at night, and it could not carry many people just to fly quickly, so one after another assault boats were lowered from the big ships of the West Sea Fleet, and the three dragoon battalions that had embarked from Guangxi went ashore in silence with their own equipment, and with the help of the men arranged by Li Yuncong, they entered the barracks arranged for them.

Before dawn on the second day, Xing'an, Wang Wen and Shang Yi were called, Ding Yi meant to leave early, although the emperor was going to go out of Beijing to greet him, he really didn't let the emperor wait there for a long time, right? It's better to start here first, and then stop and rest when you are three or five miles away from Beijing, and when the emperor leaves the city, this side will start again, and the emperor won't have to wait too long.

Wang Wen and Shang Yi both nodded yes, but Xing'an vaguely felt a little strange, because in his feelings, although Ding Yi seemed to be loyal, no matter what impossible task Emperor Jing asked him to do, Ding Yi would take it over and do it well in the end, but a lot of time, Ding Yi was not so careless, and he didn't think about it so much for Emperor Jing's face, but he couldn't think of a reason for a while, so he couldn't ask Ding Yi why he suddenly took into account Emperor Jing's feelings, right?

Therefore, Xing'an, Shang and Wang Wen, who were encamped and set off, were escorted by a thousand cavalry, and they did not find that after the departure of 2,000 people, there were still thousands of firecrackers left in the large camp on the edge of the dock, because even if the firecrackers were guarded by horses, they were also accompanied by horses when they entered the customs, but at this time, the guns behind the team were real dragoons, and the guns on their bodies, although they still used granular black * gunpowder * powder, were rifles in the real sense rather than firearms.

After the troops were deployed, the Tianjin wharf was controlled by the firecrackers who were left behind, and after dawn, the West Sea Fleet began to slowly land from the open sea. This was Ding Yi's retreat, and he didn't need to hide anything anymore, the patrol boats of the West Sea Fleet quickly dispersed the surrounding fishing boats, clearly told them that there were pirates running rampant, and then sent someone to inform the Tianjin Guard. The commander of Tianjin Wei listened to it, and was frightened, this Tianjin is very close to the Beijing Division, if the pirates are allowed to go ashore, he will probably be the commander of the end.

So the guards at all levels of the thousands and hundreds of households also drove the soldiers to patrol and check around the coastline to prevent pirates from coming ashore. As everyone knows, because of the regular army and military surplus helpers of the guard, those fishermen did not have the opportunity to spread the news of the West Sea Fleet anchored here for a while, but they concealed the whereabouts of the West Sea Fleet for several days.

And Ding Yi led a thousand cavalry and three dragoons to the outskirts of Beijing, and at noon, after stopping to make food and eat, he didn't wait for a long time, and Xing'an, who went to Beijing to report the news first, sent a small lieutenant gallop over, saying that the emperor had already driven out of the Forbidden City.

"Sir, if you launch it at this moment, you will be able to capture it in one fell swoop!" Li Yuncong did not shy away from saying this to Ding Yi on the side, because Xing'an, Shang Chen, and Wang Wen had all entered Beijing, and whether it was the three dragoon battalions or the 1,000 cavalry around him, they had all tested Ding Yi's loyalty again and again, and there was absolutely no problem.

Ding laughed when he heard this, shook his head and said, "If that's the case, why don't you take the emperor hostage when you treat the prince as a teacher?" "With Ding Yi's skills, and the title of the person with the knife, the revolver was also on the body at that time, and it was not necessarily a difficult thing, "If you want to do it, you must do it rightly, and those who are good at fighting will not have great achievements."
