Ding Yi's Struggle (17)
Ding Yi, who led a battalion of guards and held short-term training courses for officers and non-commissioned officers in Ephesus, did not know about this. What he cared about was that if the officers and non-commissioned officers of the Rongyi Division were taken apart and built on the shelves of those ten divisions, most of them would inevitably be promoted to higher positions than they had before.
If a platoon commander becomes a company commander or a company-level officer is transferred to the battalion level as a commander-in-chief, the problem will not be very serious.
But when you are a battalion-level commander-in-chief and transferred to the regimental level as a commander-in-chief, it is different. Ding Yi was very worried about whether these personnel would be able to take up their new posts, and there was also a question of ideological education, if an army lacked faith, no matter how well-armed it was, it would be useless. Otherwise, why would the United States in the future want to engage in the Gulf War with a spurple-up weapon of mass destruction?
Soldiers at the bottom need to have a simple and easy-to-understand goal so that they know why they are fighting.
And Ding Yi attaches more importance to the ideological consciousness of the troops, he doesn't want to create warlords large and small or like the former border town family of Huaxia Daming. So that's what short-term classes are for, but things don't always go as planned.
The officers of the Rong 1st Division were all die-hard supporters and admirers of Ding.
Not to mention their ideological consciousness, at least after being wounded, people who are still willing to return to the army and continue to fight with Ding Yi's banner have a strong sense of identity with Ding Yi's leader; For this collective, there is a strong sense of belonging.
Therefore, most of the officers who participated in this training were very excited, because they were able to get close to Ding Yi.
This was out of Ding Yi's expectation, and it completely became a scene like a fan meeting.
"Sir, these soldiers. No matter who is a general, you can't be self-reliant! Liu Ji after the graduation ceremony of this group of officers and non-commissioned officers. Xiang Ding Yi complimented, "That's it." I'm Taixi Daming, the trouble of Boundless Town! That's all there is to ...... sir."
Ding Yi waved his hand, shook his head and said, "Don't talk nonsense, I'm worried, I'm really worried." ”
"Yes, looking at it like this, it is difficult for anyone to turn these ten divisions into his own private army."
Of course not. These officers and non-commissioned officers alone, in addition to their salaries, have all kinds of allowances, all kinds of preferential treatment, all kinds of benefits that are carried over to their families. Purely from the perspective of interests, it is impossible for them to betray Ding Yi. Not to mention, Ding Yi, who constantly carries them from one victory to another, is definitely an irreplaceable idol in his heart.
"Why?" Ding Yi smiled bitterly and asked himself, "They feel it now." It's my private army! ”
"It's definitely not what I want. The nationalization of the armed forces is the foundation for a country to be able to stabilize its country for a long time. ”
Liu Ji smiled bitterly, this is something that is not in common with his value system. He also couldn't understand why Ding Yi was the monarch. Would there be such a long-term concern about the absolute allegiance of the army to him? No, this worry is not just starting now. Liu Ji knew this very well, and according to Emperor Jing's arrangement in Ding Yi. When he took up his post in Nanjing, Liu Ji had not yet joined Ding's discipleship. Ding put forward such an argument in his speech.
"If I'm not mistaken, 'bourgeois parties don't need to directly manage a part of the army,' and what we have established, whether it's a republican organization, a people's livelihood organization that is still being built, or a thunder school where the majority of the elite gathers, is fundamentally a bourgeois party." Ding Yi had his concerns, "So the army must be nationalized, otherwise, when the republican organization or other organizations have their own allegiance from the army, it will be the beginning of the feudal town and the civil war, which is by no means what I want to see." ”
Liu Ji replied: "Yes, the disciple is taught." ”
In fact, even Liu Ji has gradually begun to blindly obey Ding Yi, whether he agrees with it or not, he will do what Ding Yi said and asked. Because Ding Yi is really difficult to refuse his order, it is no longer the same as ten years ago, relying on the knife in his hand. It is victory, and he uses victory, victory after victory, to accumulate his majesty and prestige.
At this time, a guard came and reported to Ding Yi: "The Duke of Burgundy sent an envoy to the imperial city of Kunpeng to ask for an audience, and after Yu received the meeting, he sent an official to Ephesus with them to ask for a direct visit to Mr. Yu Qian didn't talk to the other party, but asked them to come to Ding Yi, it seems that it is a private matter, and it is very likely that he boldly investigated his daughter Mary.
But when Ding nodded and asked the soldiers to bring people up, it felt a little too big.
For with the Burgundian emissaries came the officials of the Department of Etiquette.
Indeed, the Burgundian messengers came for private matters, and indeed for Mary's affairs.
"On behalf of the Duke of Burgundy, the great majesty, the absolute master of the sea, and the hero of all nations, I would like to extend my sincerest respect to you on behalf of the Duke of Burgundy!" This is the messenger sent by the Duke of Charles, but after the salute, he said the real purpose of his trip, "The Duke's doubt, is how His Majesty will place Miss Mary?" ”
It's not that this is forced marriage, but the bold Charlie also has a headache, and he doesn't know what to do.
Mary's obsession with Ding Yi, needless to say, not to mention what Duke Charles knew, and the entire European high society knew. Strictly speaking, according to the selection of brain-dead fans, she is a purer brain-dead fan than Isabella and Margaret. Because Isabella worships Ding Yi's force value, commander value, invincible, and strong man who crisscrosses the seven seas; Needless to say, Margaret joined the Knights from the beginning in order to find the power to restore the country.
Not so with Mary, who was completely and unconditionally obsessed.
Duke Charles had only one daughter, and in fact he said that whoever married Mary would inherit his title and Burgundy, as in the original history. But it is obvious that Ding Yi could not divorce his wives and marry Mary for Burgundy; Others, such as Maximilian I of the Habsburgs, were rejected by Mary.
On the grounds that soldiers serving in the Ximing Army had the right to make their own marriages, she simply refused to offer such betrothals several times. And Duke Charles even told Mary that she only had to choose a husband, and that it was her own business if she wanted to become Ding Yi's lover after marriage. But Mary didn't listen.
So the bold Charlie had no choice but to send a messenger to question Ding Yi, how to arrange Mary?
Ding also had a headache when he heard this, and called Mary directly over: "This is a messenger sent by your father, and it is not for you to get married now, but just engagement." ”
But Mary refused: "No, Your Majesty, Mary is the most loyal knight for Her Majesty, and will always hold the sword and guard her Majesty's side." That's enough for Mary! ”
Ding Yi had an extreme headache and didn't know what to do.
Although Burgundy's Mary can't be said to be a stunning beauty on her face, she is not bad, plus little Lori, youth is invincible.
The question is that Ding Yi feels very sorry for Liu Yiyi and them, how can he be willing to harm such a little Lori again?
What's more, Princess Anna corresponds with him almost once a day, and the so-called adultery is nothing more than that.
So how could Ding Yi go to the scourge of Mary?
So this became a dead knot: he can't expel this Lori who didn't make a single mistake from the army, or transfer him away, right? People's hearts are not always made of iron and stone, I know that people's little Lori is so careful, and she is very conscious, she didn't dare to confess to someone at all, but she was willing to stay by his side. Like other soldiers, he trained and didn't specialize, and he had no purpose or intention. I'm a brain-dead fan myself.
But if she is not transferred, Ding Yi will inevitably be responsible for this matter, Charlie is a duke, that is not just a false title, he is almost only short of a royal title, which is enough to establish a duke of a country between Holy Rome and France! No matter what, it doesn't make sense for the only daughter of the family to stay by Ding Yi's side like this.
So Ding Yi had no choice but to start doing the same thing as Duke Charlie: finding a blind date for Mary.
Duke Charles welcomed this point, and even proposed: "If His Majesty's teacher intends to continue the strings, it is not impossible to consider it." It was because of this sentence from the messenger that Yu Qian couldn't stand it, and directly asked the officials of the Etiquette Department to take them to Ding Yi.
However, at this point, it seems that Ding Yi has no better way than Charlie.
Even Ding called Du Ziteng to Ephesus, but Mary and Du Ziteng did not call at all, and Du Ziteng, a narrow nationalist, even said: "If the clumsy Jing dies first, if the string is continued, as ordered by Mr., the disciple should obey his fate; If you ask your disciples what they want, it is more appropriate for the Huaxia clan to be a military household and a businessman, and it is also better than this barbarian royal family! ”
Ding Yi was very helpless and wanted to arrange it for Liu Ji, but Liu Ji already had a wife, of course, this guy was undisciplined, and said that if Ding Yi had to teach him to take over, he would divorce his wife. How did Dante do such a thing?
But soon, Ding Yi had to put the matter on hold for the time being.
Because as Bayezet said, it is himself who can defeat Ding Yi.
His trouble came.
"Your Majesty, the taxes collected, Athens, Smyrna, Ephesus, and other places, have all appeared counterfeit money."
Counterfeit money does not refer to the illegality of the mint, and this is not the case these days, for example, a British silver penny, three-quarters of which is cut off with a knife. Counterfeit money is mainly about the lack of purity and weight.
Cao Jixiang was also helpless: "Your Majesty, it's all the sins of those businessmen, it's better to use the kind as a tax!" ”
"No, this problem has to be solved from the root." Ding Yi vetoed Cao Jixiang's claim. (To be continued......)
