Chapter 84: The Tiger (18)

On this night, no one realizes anything. Even Ding Yi himself just hopes not to create too many unnecessary killings among his compatriots, and to win over some people who can be won. Even that speech was a patchwork, how to fit and how to come, but what often ignited the prairie was such an unintentional spark.

No one left until the first rays of dawn appeared, and no one left or walked out of the Zhuangzi to the north. Not all of them have a very high consciousness, some of them are for the name of Ding Yi, there is no doubt that after they calmed down, they found a problem, not the voice of the poor proposed by Ding Yi, or the constitution or something, but Ding Yi's reputation: in the rivers and lakes, Ding Rongcheng, who is famous all over the world, is much more famous than Hou Dagou who lives in a corner!

Ding Yi, who fought the Tartars, took the Jinshi exam, and rescued the emperor with thousands of troops and horses, is much more reliable than the rebellious Hou Dagou.

According to their thoughts, Hou Dagou is a rebellion, if he can't make it, he will be killed at that time; Ding Rongcheng doesn't sound like a rebellion - with Ding Rongcheng, even if the voice of the poor people in the last place can't be made, he can probably be an official, right? Ding Rongcheng's disciples, don't all of them have official status? Just such a banal and cheesy reason, they stayed.

And those dead Hou Dagou soldiers had already been transported by horses to the houses in the southeast led by Ding Yi when it was dark. At this time, from the direction of Huaiji, there were seven or eight people riding horses across the bridge, and the hustle and bustle of last night made the guards in Huaiji County send people to inquire about what happened here immediately after dawn.

"Brother Ding. The younger brother enters the top three of the dragon and willow, and is willing to lead people over and bring this team of people to the end. Make a vote! Listening to his words, the more than 200 men all rose up one after another, joined the gang, and surrendered their names. It is a common thing in the rivers and lakes.

Ding Yi shook his head with a smile and said to Liu Sanqiang: "We are not bandits, not gangs on the rivers and lakes. Everyone is looking for a way out for the poor people in the world, so they followed someone Ding to do this thing, we are righteous and righteous, and we don't need to engage in things like voting for names. ”

He went to see the cavalry. In the clouds, Longliu Sanqiang took that group of Jianghu men. After suddenly striking to restrain the group of cavalry.

"My surname is Ding, my name is Ding Yi, I want to talk to Hou Dagou. Can you pass the word on to Hou Dagou? Ding Yi smiled and asked the cavalry who were taken, those few listened, and shook their heads blankly, where could they see Hou Dagou? Ding nodded and said, "Then you leave the horse behind and go back." Tell the leader of Huaiji to come and speak with me. Then he said to Liu Sanqiang, "Let these brothers go back." Don't embarrass them. ”

So the restrained cavalry walked back in such a daze, and halfway through, someone suddenly came back to his senses: "Ding Yi? Ding Rongcheng? Immediately, three or four people rushed back, bowed their heads, and praised, "Little brother to meet my brother!" Fang Cai didn't know the gold and jade, and almost missed his brother's face! ”

What made people even more speechless was that several other people hesitated for a moment, but they actually ran back together, and some people complained about the three strong dragons and willows in the clouds: "Brother Ding is here, you don't even mention it to me!" It's really annoying! "Not only that, but two of the seven or eight cavalrymen who came to investigate were reluctant to go back to Huaiji, so they must stay here and follow Ding Yi.

The other five or six people were also reluctant to leave, but Ding Yi persuaded them: "Entrusted by people, the matter of loyalty is the so-called promise of a thousand gold, no matter what, even if you want to vote, you always need to explain the matter." He persuaded these people to go back and report the news.

Among the people who went back, some people even said: "The brothers in the Huaiji, hearing that my brother is here, I am afraid that I don't want to follow the leader of the firewood!" The others also chimed in, "That's more than 2,000 people, and there are four or five hundred brothers who came to vote with us...... so they discussed, if you bring those hundreds of heroes to vote for Ding Yi, should you break through the city, or take Huaiji to dedicate to your brother?"

It's a pity that they didn't talk about it until they were far away, and if Ding heard it, he would definitely persuade them not to do this, or not let him go back at all. Because Hou Dagou can be commissioned by Hou Dagou to guard this Huaiji County, it is definitely not a weak person, this is Guangxi, Huguang, Guangdong, the junction of the three places, occupying Huaiji, the east can go straight down the river, wave troops in Guangdong, or go north to kill Huguang, where will this be a mediocre general?

Although this Chai Zhenge, Ding Yi didn't know what kind of character Lu Dao was, and he hadn't heard much of his name in the rivers and lakes - in fact, he had seen it in Jingshi, but Ding Yi was really difficult to remember, everyone who only had one side, but just like Hou Dagou, some people even said that his name was Hou Dagou, and the word Gou was changed after the rebellion, but if you look down on him with his vulgar name, it will not be easy to end up with him.

Dante didn't hear the words, and he was busy arranging for the more than 200 people to return to their hometowns.

"We are asking for the lives of the people, for the peace of all eternity, and these great things are the same as the poor people in the world, and they are not something that you and me, more than 200 brothers, can afford...... If the students can pacify Guangxi, at least on the border of Guangxi, they will definitely be able to give the people a place to speak...... When you go back to your hometown, you must explain this truth clearly to your brothers in the rivers and lakes and the fathers and elders in your hometown......"

Ding Yi took the trouble to follow the more than 200 people, divided them again and again, and asked them to repeat it, which was generally correct, so he took out the silver and distributed it: "Don't shirk this point of pestering everyone, but it is not the students and brothers, it is the poor people of the world, come out, teach us to ask for their lives......" and asked all kinds of people to report their nicknames, who is the surname, what sect, so as to facilitate future contact, but no one is fake, because they are a group, if they are fake, they will be exposed by others immediately.

Under the farewell, more than 200 men, all choked with tears, kowtowed to Ding Yi, and praised: "I will definitely live up to my brother's trust and the trust of the poor people in this world!" If you only teach to live for one day, you must tell this truth to others, and teach your brothers and friends, fathers and villagers, not to live in a daze! ”

When they were gone, the fat man Wen was a little slight: "Young Master Nephew, these goods, dozens of companions let us kill, no one has mentioned a word, and no one has asked, I am afraid that these people are very snobbish, worship when they see high, and step on them when they see low, how can they be trusted?" ”

Ding Yi laughed: "Then we will always stand on a high place." ”

"It's just that they spread the word, although they just told me not to mention the name of the nephew and young master too much, but how can these people be trusted? At that time, the yamen and factory guards from all over the country listened to the rumors, in case this group of people really went to tell the people to know, someone came to the military governor's yamen to join the army, etc., I am afraid that not only the factory guards, but also the imperial history of the rumors, will impeach the nephew and young master...... "Wen Fatzi is in charge of affairs in the East Factory, he thinks about these things clearly."

"If anyone wants to punish me for my sins without a warrant, I will not listen to the twelve gold medals." Ding Yi's smile was still on his face, and he didn't have any worries, "If you weren't afraid of being Yue Wumu, why did you resign before?" "It was because he couldn't solve the logistical problems that he would accumulate grain, resign and return to Rongcheng, as for Jinshi, this is actually the icing on the cake of unexpected joy.

In the past two years, Ding Yi has completed a workshop and a college.

As long as he is given another year or two, the thousands of students in those academies will be sixteen or seventeen years old, and that will be soldiers who are capable of using them and have received formal training in discipline. The sea grain routes in Champa and other places, after this period of time, have been reserved in Guangdong; What's more, there are Ding Ruyu's Duoyanwei and Chen San's Duyin tribe outside the gate, if Emperor Jing dares to get him out of necessity, he will dare to govern Liangguang!

Some of Huang Xiaoyang's backbone subordinates have let Ding Ruyu quietly raise them in Nanhaiwei, as long as Ding Yi is determined to start an incident, at least militarily, sweeping half of Guangdong, there may not be any difficulties. Of course, how to govern, how to defend against the attacks of the imperial court, that is another matter.

However, Ding Yi knew that Emperor Jing would not ask him about his guilt at this time, as long as the war in Guangxi progressed slightly and the situation did not deteriorate again, hundreds of years later, Chongzhen would be able to endure Yuan Chonghuan killing Mao Wenlong, not to mention that this was still some Jianghu people, unfounded words, he was really not worried at all.

Wen Fat Man listened to Ding Yifen and said with a smile: "It's good that the young master nephew knows it in his heart, the fat man's mouth is a cheap ......."

"No, you did the right thing, the duty of a staff sergeant, you should indeed remind me that if you become the chief of staff of a thousand-man team by then, you should perform your duty and remind me of the consequences of doing so before the commander decides to let these two hundred people go." Ding Yi solemnly said to the fat man, "Remember, remember!" ”

"Yui!" Fat Man Wen rarely responded in a regular manner, but asked again, "Young Master Nephew, what should I do next?" ”

Ding Yi's smile became thicker: "Hou Dagou is not one of these Jianghu people, he won't just come out to talk to me." Then we have to make him understand that he has to come out and talk to us, for example......"

It's a pity that he didn't hear the conversation between the few charlatans who went back just now, otherwise, maybe he wouldn't have made such a choice, at least not at this time. Dante Yi didn't expect that those Jianghu people would be so naΓ―ve about their political and military strategic awareness.

It's not Ding Yi's fault, he's not an all-powerful and all-knowing God, even though he has to suffer the consequences.

But the so-called heroes are never afraid of the wind and waves, and they are never afraid of the enemy.

"Cross the bridge and take Huaiji County." Ding Yi faced Li Yuncong and Wen Fatzi and gave an order without hesitation. (To be continued......)
