The joy of the West continued, because with a group of convoys that went to Liangguang to sell spices and slaves, and then sold tea back to the West, it was said: Yunyuan is in chaos! They can't say exactly how chaotic it is, anyway, it's just a riot. In the Western schadenfreude parlance, that is, "not only Venice has Crete, but Poseidon also has his clouds!" ”

Zhu Yong went to Guangdong to be in charge of martial arts work, Li Jiannan was in the Tianjin garrison, Liu Tie went to North America a few years ago, and Yunyuan was controlled by Zhou Yuzhang, Fang Ying, and Gong Ju. But since Ding Yi inherited the Roman throne and went to the West, there were also officials who were willing to go to Yunyuan to serve.

A large part of this is due to Henry, the prince of navigation.

"At that time, he had to be as heavy as Jin Xinzhong, strategizing the sea frontier, teaching the people to dare to cross the sea and barter, and finally changed the atmosphere, and so far Qiongzhou is no longer at the end of the world!" Xu Bin, who was about to return to Huaxia for retirement, said with a white beard, "Rujin not only has the skills of a general, but also has the ability to be a general!" ”

He sighed very much, thinking how could Ding Yi see this: "At that time, who can ask, the land of Diyi, the son of the barbarian king, is as capable as Si!" "Originally, it was self-proclaimed with the Central Celestial Empire, not to mention that now that it has expanded to the West, this big country chauvinism, no matter how much Ding Yi suppresses it, is really becoming more and more prosperous. Even when it comes to the benefits of Prince Henry, this old gentleman does not forget to publicize it.

Because the people dared to cross the sea to trade, the Ming Dynasty expanded its territory to East Africa, and even Egypt and ∴←Israel recognized the Ming Dynasty as the suzerain, and sent people to pay tribute every day, not to mention Korea and the Japanese Kingdom, He Tiedan received a group of death row prisoners to Australia, so this Hainan Island and Yunyuan. It's not that far off.

So the old gentleman is not a sycophant, but a sincere feeling. Ding Yi's vision and ability are extremely rare.

Ding Yi didn't have the heart to sing with Xu Bin. Those Western fleets don't know how Yunyuan got into chaos, but Ding Yi knows. The detailed report arrived in Smyrna a little earlier than those Western fleets, Ding Yi looked at the report on the case, shook his head and said: "Zhou Yuzhang should not have been transferred to Nanjing, this matter is a little inappropriate. ”

Because some officials were willing to go to Yunyuan to serve according to the assignment of the ministry, Zhou Yuzhang was transferred to Nanjing.

The six departments of Nanjing in the Ming Dynasty generally had no actual powers, and they were used for ministers to retire or to provide places for ministers who were demoted and excluded. But this is not the case for all positions. At least the messenger arranged for Zhou Yuzhang. Ding Yi just can't find fault.

For example, the household department in Nanjing, which is an institution with real power, is not the place where the pension is located. In the original history, the Ming generation, except for the two years when Liu Jin changed the law, has always been responsible for collecting taxes and grain from Nanzhili and Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Huguang provinces. At the same time, it is also responsible for the transportation and national salt introduction.

Zhou Yuzhang, a local official promoted by Ding Yi, although he served as the prefect of a prefecture in Yunyuan, he was basically a political envoy. But after all, the official position has not been raised, has it? Isn't it a local official? So the imperial court transferred him to Nanjing. As the head of Nanjing Hubu Langzhong, it seems that he has been reduced from the prefect of the fourth rank to the middle of the fifth rank of Langzhong, but in fact he has taken a big step from the border to the central government.

and gave him a loose title, that is, he did not demote the level of Zhou Yuzhang. It is equivalent to the nature of high allocation.

has real power, although he did not hand over the governor of Caoyun and the governor of the river and the governor of Fengyang to Zhou Yuzhang, but only gave it to Langzhong. But he also handed over the practice of Daming salt introduction and exploration to Zhou Yuzhang to do, to put it bluntly. It's a fat shortage.

"Gong Ju is old, and Yuzhang went to Nanjing again. The local aborigines are unpressed, can An not cause chaos? Ding Yi was also very helpless.

If there is more territory, it must be governed, and there must be talents for governance, and now he is just not enough talents!

It is good to say that the six departments of the Ming Dynasty each sent personnel to collect war reparations.

The DPRK side should send people, the Liangguang industry should send people, the Ministry of Industry of Liangguang, which is equivalent to the state-owned industry, should send people, and the Guinean side should also send people, Luzon and Java...... Where is there not enough people? Not to mention that the military also has people on their side. Several academies, speaking of Ding Yi's disciples, are all over the world, and in the past ten years, thousands of students.

However, there are only a few hundred people who graduate in one year, and even if Ding Yi instructs him to relax the standards slightly in the past two years, there are only 1,000 people. And the army is okay, students go in to apprenticeship and lead soldiers, and they will become regular in the second year, and there will be no big mess; If the magistrate is a magistrate, should a student who has just graduated be asked to be the chief of a certain place? Put it in the factory or put it in the place, who can rest assured?

One is that people are not enough, and the other is that it is impossible to achieve immediate results if they are divided.

This is Ding Yi's headache, and even when he is alone, he often complains to himself helplessly: "How can there be fat water!" I can't wait to feed all the students of the academy with fat water and Jin Kela! It's all ripe! "If you don't have enough people, you will naturally be chaotic. So much so that now even Liu Ji knows the stalk of fat boy water.

"Didn't the imperial court send someone to take up the post?" Xu Bin took the report, put on reading glasses and looked at it for a while, then looked up and asked Ding Yi.

Ding smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Bagu Jinshi is a good strategy for electing officials at this time, but he can only be a literati of Bagu, and when he goes to Yunyuan, where can he suppress their natives?" Saying that, he motioned for Liu Ji to come over and said to him, "Let Zhu Yong prepare, if the situation is not appropriate, Hu Shan from Liangguang will watch, and let Zhu Yong take a garrison to Yunyuan." Whether to enter the clouds or not, it is up to Yang Shou to decide on his own. ”

"Give a letter to Zhu Dong, let the Java side, transfer a marine battalion to the Arakan Kingdom, be ready to quell the rebellion at any time, and act cheaply."

"Give the text to Yang Shousui, the person in charge of the Yunyuan Heaven and Earth Association and the Zhongyi Society must be responsible for this."

Ding Yi was very helpless, he also made preparations first, although at present, the situation has not been bad to this point.

But as time comes and goes, the time spent on the sea route is often inconsistent with the current situation by the time the order goes to Liangguang.

Liu Ji responded, and immediately greeted the scribe and drafted the text.

As more Western fleets returned to Europe carrying porcelain and tea, the state of affairs in Yunyuan gradually became known to the nations.

"Poseidon is finishing." This is basically the unanimous argument of the European upper class.

And many more countries, such as Portugal and the Kingdom of Castile, see this as an opportunity. Because there is North America in the west and Yunyuan in the east, it is unlikely that Ding Yi will put his troops in the Mediterranean region anymore, so the resources of the New World, these countries can participate in the ranks of sharing the cake!

This idea was not confined to Portugal and Castile, and even the king of England, who had just ascended to the throne, began to build ships. The British didn't move much before, one was that King Edward IV had just finished fighting the War of the Roses; One is because they have engaged with the Ming Mediterranean Fleet several times in the name of pirates, but the result is that the whole army has been wiped out without returning.

The British felt that they had to admit it, and all European countries did not want to compete with Ding Yi on the sea, and they were not so angry.

But now it's different, now Ding Yi has trouble on both sides.

The rumor that Ding Yi was going to transfer the troops of Asia Minor and all over the Mediterranean back to the Ming Dynasty was quite beneficial in the aristocratic circles. Everyone can see that the crown of the Roman emperor is a name and the icing on the cake for Ding Yi, and Huaxia is the fundamental!

"It is impossible for the Mediterranean fleet to remain in Europe." The Venetians, with a certain sense of vengeance, gritted their teeth and said, "If God wants to destroy it, he must first make it mad!" "Moreover, the Venetians have also started shipbuilding, and intend to wait for the withdrawal of the Mediterranean fleet and re-enter the Mediterranean.

Muhammad II ordered his men to negotiate with Ding Yi, and the original agreement of 4 million taels of silver was not intended to be given except for the 800,000 taels delivered in advance. And his order to the messenger was also very strong: "Let Bayezid come back with a million taels of silver, and I may consider not using troops against Egypt for the time being ten years after his withdrawal from Smyrna." ”

He is not a threat, but a statement of the fact that the huge Ottoman Empire, just Nadin, has no way. The loss of Smyrna should be said to be a loss of face and prestige, and it shocked the countries of Western Europe. But it is impossible to say that there is anything fundamental to the Ottoman national strength.

Therefore, if Ding returns to China, the Ming Mediterranean Fleet and the Roman Aegean Fleet are gone, Egypt, although it is still far away, but Mehmed II really wants to fight, and it is not necessarily impossible to push it along the way. He has such the confidence to say such hard words.

And the messenger came to ask to see Ding Yi, and he also truthfully passed on the words, and even said: "200,000 taels of silver, I will be guaranteed peace for ten years, my lord can not be said to be ungenerous!" 陛xià should be observed! "Two hundred thousand taels of silver, plus the eighty taels of silver that Osman paid to Ding Yi earlier, is one million taels.

Before Ding could speak, Bayezette, who was left by his side, whispered on the side: "Teacher, the student still has a little savings, if the teacher allows, the 200,000 taels of silver, the student is willing to pay for the teacher, and the lunch is the tuition fee for the next ten years." ”

After all, he is a hostage, who wants to be a hostage? Who knew that Ding Yifa was upset and killed him before returning to Daming? Or just take him back to Daming? Out of the sea, Osman can not do anything with Ding, this is clear to Bayezet. Besides, if Muhammad II wants to fight Egypt, it will take time, and it is impossible to let go of his mouth today, and he will really be able to take Egypt tomorrow.

So he was willing to bleed himself, and even he persuaded Ding Yi in a low voice: "Teacher, national affairs can't be put aside, this West is a trivial matter, or should we focus on the fundamentals is the truth." He also thought of an idea for Ding Yi, "The teacher's students all have errands, so if you don't have this Smyrna errand, the teacher will appoint the students!" ”

This is to give Ding a step down, no need for Ding Yi to pay, and no embarrassment on Ding's face, it can be regarded as a happy ending, and everyone is happy. (To be continued......)
