Chapter Seventy-Five: Wandering the Canoe Bridge (5)

To end the battle of Duoyanwei before the army food and grass are consumed, this is an absolutely crazy thing, crazy to the extent that if someone Ding knows the Tao, he will also tie Ding Ruyu back to Rongcheng. Or to say: Ding Ruyu is in Guangdong, without taking a single soldier, a soldier and a grain from the imperial court, he can recover most of Guangdong, and if you want to count the population within the scope of recovery, it is not necessarily much less than that of Duoyanwei.

That's a statement that you don't know anything about military strategy. Not to mention the disciples sent by Ding Yi, not to mention the 100 guards supported by Temasek, not to mention that Ding Yi was behind his back at that time, and let Liu Yiyi transfer the silver taels in the past, and not to mention that in general righteousness, counterinsurgency and annexation of Duoyanwei are completely two conceptual things.

There are only two things, that is, the contradiction and the foundation.

Huang Xiaoyang's uprising itself has a great contradiction with the interests of the vast landlord class, so Ding Ruyu is not a person, she has become the banner of the landlord class whose entire interests have been encroached upon by the rebel army.

When recruiting soldiers, Ding Ruyu only had to promise the last sentence: "Those who participate in the war and do not retreat from the battle can divide the land after the rebellion." "How many peasant children will sign up at one time? As for the land, there were not a few landlords and gentry who were killed by the rebels at that time, and their property may have been taken away, but the land was still there, which gave them a resource that could be used for redistribution.

But in Duoyanwei, in the grassland, where are these things there? Where to go for conscription? Everyone is grazing, who will farm? Who expects to share three or five acres of land, live a good life and sign up for the army? Let's talk about it, it's not that the herdsmen are willing to farm, they also have to be able to farm, and they have to have this skill.

And most importantly. There is also an extremely terrible problem, that is, on the grassland, there is no county like the Central Plains, that is to say, the mobility of the other side is extremely strong, the latter during the period of the invasion of Jianyu and the fall of the country in China, the war to pacify Dzungaria, Jianju is to do the best of the whole country, it lasted three dynasties, and it took three dynasties to pacify Dzungaria.

Although Duoyanwei does not have the power and territory of Dzungaria. But Ding Ruyu only has thousands of soldiers in his hands, and the March military rations.

It's a pity that Ding Yi didn't know about this section at all, so things began to develop in a weird direction.

At this time, Mercedes was on the way back to Beijing, and Ding Yi just wanted to return to Beijing as soon as possible, and then he could rest for two days to go to Qiufu. The imperial examination turned out to be an excuse for him to get out of the court and avoid trouble. Today, I don't know it. It has become the psychology of really jumping into the imperial examination room.

There is no other way to say it. Just one thing, that is, self-confidence. Under the abuse of those champion masters, Ding already has a high level of self-confidence in the writing, diction, taboo avoidance, etc., and in the conversation with Wan An and Liu Ji, the two genuine jinshi, Ding Yi also feels that he is more relaxed to deal with. And Zhang He, the paranoid, gave Ding Yi great praise.

When you don't pursue results in something, and you have enough confidence, it's a fun game. Qiu Fu is similar to this for Ding someone now, of course, he still cares about the result, although it is nothing if he can't pass the test, but he is finally admitted, and it can be regarded as a means to prove himself in this Ming Dynasty.

The previous question and answer between him and Du Ziteng could reflect this very well, when Du Ziteng said with a little doubt: "Sir, forgive the disciple for being abrupt, I really don't understand why Mr. resigned to go to the imperial examination?" Obviously, Du Ziteng, who is more cautious in thinking, will not believe Ding Yi's statement that he has been determined to take the imperial examination since he was a child.

"Get on the horse to fight the crazy Hu, get off the horse and write the book, the martial arts can be anbang, and the literature can govern the country, which is the aspiration of our generation." Ding Yi said to Du Ziteng with a smile on the horse. In fact, what he wanted to say was: Can you take one certificate or multiple certificates, God knows when you can use it? Besides, it's not that you can't pass the test, why don't you take the test? You haven't evaluated the job title, and you don't know the pain of not having a certificate!

As for resigning to avoid trouble, Ding Yi will not mention it, he can see this very clearly, his current strength is not enough to confront Emperor Jing, even if Du Ziteng understands it, Ding Yi will not find out this point himself. In fact, this is also the fundamental reason why there are so many assassinations coming at him.

Because Ding Yi's extremely immature power system seems to have martial arts and Ding Ruyu; The text has Li Xian and Shang Chen; There are more than 1,000 disciples; Fellow rivers and lakes bow their heads; Maritime trade, shops widely distributed in two capitals and thirteen political envoys; There is also a safety yamen similar to the hybrid of the imperial history and the factory guard; There are also British princes and so on......

But the system is extremely fragile.

As long as Ding Yi's point is erased, it will immediately fall apart.

Li Xian and Shang Lu will never cooperate with Jianghu Haoxiong or Liu Yiyi's shops; And if it weren't for the existence of Ding Yi, the security yamen would have been filled in the powerful people of various factions of civil officials; If there was no Ding Yi, Liu Yiyi would have gone crazy, and she would not have invested money in the bottomless pit of running a school; As for Ding Ruyu, I honestly told the old man to find someone to marry, I'm afraid I can save my life......

It is because assassinating Ding Yi is the quickest and most effective way to make this potential force system collapse immediately, so all parties hostile to Ding Yi have invariably chosen the same method.

And when Ding Yi, Du Ziteng, and Li Jiangtou ran to the iron gate of Gubeikou and entered the customs, Du Ziteng grabbed Ding Yi's reins and said to Ding Yi: "Sir, the disciple is guilty!" "Ding Yi looked at Du Ziteng's serious expression, and his heart sank, this guy was the same as Chen San, he was pinned on by Ding Yi, how could he suddenly say that he was guilty?"

But I heard Du Ziteng say in a deep voice: "When Mr. and Uncle Shi deduced the military strategy before, the disciples drew thirty personal guards, ten of them explored the road first, and twenty people followed me two miles behind. At this time, it was naturally not the time to reprimand Du Ziteng for making an assertion, Ding nodded and motioned for him to continue, and then listened to Du Ziteng continue: "Until entering the Iron Gate Pass, there were four groups of eight people in the first ten people, and they tied white handkerchiefs on the trees along the way to signal that there were no things around, and continued to search on both sides. ”

In other words, there is a group of rebukes that should have been answered inside the iron gate, and they have lost their traces.

"The disciple thinks that it is better to wait for the twenty horsemen behind to meet the eight horsemen to catch up, and then it is not too late to move forward." Du Ziteng solemnly persuaded Ding Yi, "Mr. Wang, for the sake of the work of many disciples and students under the door, don't risk your life!" "What he said is also the truth, once something happens to Ding Yi, then the Thunder Academy will definitely be scattered, and even disciples like them will have a bleak future.

Du Ziteng knows Ding someone's temperament very well, if he persuades his daughter's son not to sit in the court, maybe it will arouse Ding's competitive heart, no matter what turmoil there is ahead, he must take a trip with a knife, after all, in his bones, Ding Yi is still self-professed and self-disciplined as a special warfare elite.

But persuaded by the future work of the disciples, Ding Yi couldn't help but sink his face when he heard it, and after a while, he sighed helplessly, and said to Du Ziteng: "In your eyes, is being so stubborn as a teacher?" Well, it's all up to you, just wait for them to come up, and we'll set off. ”

However, once it was cleared, Ding Yi was dispatched: "You take Li Jiangtou to the defenders of Tiemen Pass, show your identity, and write down their names, if Li Jiangtou loses a hair, I will not rest with them." "If there is really a risk that Du Ziteng said on the road ahead, then Ding Yi must deal with the safety of Li Jiangtou, a non-combatant, first.

However, Craftsman Li was quite righteous, and he called him to make the knife ride a horse, but he was not a waste. Ding Yihao persuaded him: "It was originally to rely on Brother Li, just like on the battlefield, there must always be a new force left, if the battle situation is stalemate or there is a crisis, teach this new force to rush over and open the predicament!" In this way, Li Gongtou was persuaded to stop.

The iron gate pass is a very dangerous place, the gate is narrow and can only allow one person and a horse to enter and exit, Ding Yi and Du Ziteng got off the horse at this pass, by Du Ziteng showed the waist card, and waited for Li Jiangtou in the defenders first, the two passed the iron gate pass, then led the horse, slowly moved forward, after walking more than ten steps, they each took off two suitcases from the horse.

When the suitcase was opened, it contained a cuirass, a dorsal armor, a pair of long bracers wrapped around the forearm, a pair of long shin guards from the ankle to the knee, and a total of seven pieces of armor that were all made of one piece, and the armor straps were fastened one by one; He took out a small round shield from another suitcase, put it on his left wrist guard, tightened the bolt with an Allen wrench the thickness of chopsticks, and then took out a belt from the suitcase and tied it, and pinned four time-delay fuse grenades with a dumb fire rate of about 20 percent in the leather ring on it.

Ding Yi did all this, but he was very familiar with it, took off the saddle and changed to the reserve horse, and took out the eccentric wheel crossbow from the leather bag in front of the saddle, and put it on his waist diagonally. The two long knives hung on both sides of the saddle, and when he looked up, Du Ziteng was also equipped, and in this era, it can be said that he was armed to the teeth.

The distance of the two-mile road is not too far, the twenty-eight horsemen behind, one person and three horses have arrived at this time, and the twenty-eight people and nearly a hundred horses are slowly entering from the iron gate, looking at Ding Yi and Du Ziteng's armor and helmet outfits, and quickly changed the saddle to the reserve horse, leading the horse to line up in the open space.

Lin Nei, who was more than three miles inside the Iron Gate Pass, stopped his companions who wanted to collect the spoils of war at this time, he pointed to the two scrubbers lying on the official road, and whispered: "Don't move, if Ah Pong Rakshasa arrives here, looking at the two corpses that have been stripped naked, as long as it is a person, he will immediately turn back, if he runs to the Iron Gate Pass, we will waste this opportunity." ”

"Take the six horses and the two corpses away and kill him by surprise......"

"If he doesn't slow down to check the body, and you can shoot the target from forty paces away, then you can move it, I don't have the ability to do it for a day, and I dare to boast that I will definitely be able to shoot at the target from forty paces away." (To be continued......)
