"Five thousand six hundred regular troops, these five hundred people can be used?" Emperor Jing listened to Ding Yi's words, and did not continue to disturb the scenery, but diverted the topic and commented on the military households who were getting off the ship, "Hmph, after he was reinstated, he didn't think about the country, and he was extravagant, and this is also ......."

He was accusing Yingzong, saying that Yingzong did not do his job, so he got a guard of 5,600 regular troops in this formation, and only 500 military households could be selected to go overseas. Ding laughed as soon as he heard this: "This is not kind, could it be that when His Highness was in power, this guard was sufficient?" ”

Emperor Jing was choked with a big red face, and only then did he wake up that Ding Yi's friendship with Yingzong was excellent, and saying bad things about Yingzong in front of Ding Yi was really something that he couldn't get along with, how could he get any benefit?

These 500 military households were transferred from Nanhaiwei. After all, the reserve training in the Guangdong territory has been carried out for 10 years, and it has achieved great results. Zhu Yong, who was born in a family of border generals, is also very talented in catching people and martial arts. Therefore, for Guangdong, the health office is really an institution that does not need to save zài.

That's right, for other places, the guard office really can't be removed for a while, but for Liangguang, there is no such problem!

To be honest, this plan is still very tempting for Ding Yi. Therefore, after blocking Maang's charter, Ding Yi proposed to do a pilot in Guangdong first. In addition to these 500 military households, Nanhaiwei's other frail military households who were unwilling to leave their hometowns were either out of their homes or arranged to work in factories, and then Nanhaiwei was withdrawn from the sequence of the military department.

The establishment of the 5,600 regular army, Nanhaiwei was still under the command of Ding Ruyu for a while, and later under the jurisdiction of Ding Yi, so the empty salary was not so exaggerated. There are at least seventy or eighty percent of the full amount, and Nanhaiwei has more than 4,000 regular troops, which is actually very good.

It's just those fifty or sixty-year-old regular soldiers, what does Ding Yi want them to do at sea?

Not to mention their combat effectiveness, they are afraid that they will drift here by sea for a while. It's hard to say how many percent of them are alive!

Therefore, they are all young and strong military households, and this is half of it, and there are only about 2,000 people to choose from.

Ding Yi asked them to apply voluntarily, and those who are nostalgic for their hometown and are willing to be plain will naturally not apply.

Only the unwilling to go down. If you want to get ahead, you will submit an application, and the entire Nanhaiwei will receive more than a thousand applications, and then select them. These 500 families were selected to come out, and they were all not only young and strong regular soldiers in their families, but also at least one surplus army.

"Raise the battle flag a little higher." Ding Yi instructed Cao Jixiang like this, because the soldiers who raised the flag in the distance raised the Roman emperor's double-headed eagle recognition flag and the Mingzi battle flag were all raised to the top, "The Roman emperor is just a necessary crown to step into Europe, don't forget this." ”

Ding Yi turned his head to look at Emperor Jing. But he said to him: "Go to America, give you a black division, and three hundred brocade guards." At Temasek, he trained 300 guards for 10 years with the New Army. Teach Uncle Wang Shi to follow you on errands, but in terms of military affairs, don't teach Uncle Wang Shi to get his hands dirty. Uncle Zhong has taken care of me since I was a child, and my original intention was to let him retire and recuperate. But he is quite incorruptible, so he will teach him to go with you. Temasek is now watching over the West Sea Fleet in Java, and there is no need for an additional yamen. The Navy can only give you one battleship. Three cruisers, four destroyers, and a marine battalion. They were all retired from the fleet, but on the North American side, they were enough. Remember, once you land, you have your own decision, all personnel are appointed and dismissed, etc., don't expect me to give you too much help, if you let Uncle Wang Shi or Uncle Zhong instigate a battle of Tumu Fort, then you can only accept your fate. ”

Emperor Jing is very excited, people who have sat on the dragon chair, where is he willing to be a military doctor? He took out the yellowed piece of paper from his bosom that had been sitting for ten years. This is the map of Canada that he drew from Ding Yi's study in Java that year: "After the battle, this is my territory?" Don't have to lose Cheng Nagong again? ”

"Yes." Ding Yi's answer was very crisp.

He really couldn't keep himself busy, so he just let it go.

But Emperor Jing had an objection: "I don't want battleships, I don't want cruisers, give me destroyers, twenty destroyers!" I want Chen Xun! ”

As soon as these words came out, Ding Yigao looked at Emperor Jing a few points, looked at him for a moment, and said with a smile: "Yes, your ten-year career as a military doctor has not been in vain, but it is better than my old friend, and I don't think you will get something like Tumu Castle." ”

In this sentence, it is true that Emperor Jing's current military vision is stronger than that of Yingzong.

He doesn't want battleships and cruisers, why? Because he has been in the army for ten years and understands!

Even the Egyptian Canal Yamen and the Mediterranean Fleet, the West Sea Fleet in Java, the battleships and cruisers could not be repaired, so they could only return to Guangzhou on a regular basis and repair them in the shipyards of Guangzhou Fucheng, Xiangxian, Jiangmen and other ships. He went to that place in Canada, got a battleship, three cruisers, and sailed nearly around the world for two years?

Not to mention the storm, the ocean is ruthless, and it is not good to bury it all in the sea; It's God bless, safe and sound, this time and again, when you go back to repair, it means that these four big ships are completely out of the battle sequence. Besides, North America doesn't even have a class society now, so let's get these four big ships to fight ghosts?

Moreover, the destroyers under Ding's command are more similar to modern destroyers than the concepts of World War I and World War II.

Originally, in history, destroyers appeared only after the appearance of torpedoes. In the era of sail warships, such warships with less than 30 guns were called gunboats or offshore warships. At the time of the appearance of destroyers, their original function was to deal with submarines. In modern times, battleships were withdrawn from the combat sequence, and destroyers began to perform escort and other functions.

However, Ding Yi was not very good at the navy, at least far less than the army, so he took the name of the destroyer for granted at that time. Because he used the design of a flying clipper ship, and he could not use a shallow water gunboat to locate it, the destroyer under Ding Yi's command was closer to the armed ocean-going merchant ships or ultralight cruisers of the era of sail warships.

Twenty destroyers, indeed, is enough.

And Emperor Jing asked Chen Xun to be the first assistant of Jing Tainian, and he was also very discerning, although Chen Xun was basically set aside by Yu Qian at that time and rushed to compile books and the like, but one was a familiar minister, and the other was Chen Xun was also capable.

"Okay, but I can only give you ten ships in the early stage, and the other ten ships will be delivered in two phases. If he wished to answer the call, he would go west with the second group of destroyers. Ding Yi happily agreed to Emperor Jing's request, but the destroyers were not given by Ding Yi, the first batch of ten was given to him, and the destroyers that were originally intended to be replenished to the Mediterranean Fleet were transferred to him first.

Emperor Jing dreamed of returning to the monarch for ten years, relying on Ding Yi, and finally began his journey today.

He quickly got on the ship and went to Mugudushu, because Wang Zhen and Uncle Zhong would lead the fleet to Mugudushu to meet him according to Ding Yi's plan, and then set off for North America.

"The young master is really benevolent! Such a fleet, a black division was given to him in this way. Cao Jixiang muttered with some pain on the side, "If it wasn't for the young master back then, the emperor didn't plan to teach His Highness to live, and it wasn't all up to the young master to be thoughtful, so that he could live to this day!" ”

Ding Yi smiled and said: "Don't be poor, Lao Cao, at the beginning of the preparation of the fleet, he was in power, and used the wood from the inner library to build a fleet for me, at that time, it was not as good as now, Guangdong is fully capable of building a large ship of more than 1,000 tons, and the problem of 2,000 tons is not big; In those years, the whole of China could only be done in Nanjing! At that time, he said that he only wanted to drive me out of the sea, but after all, I remembered this feeling. ”

Cao Jixiang flattened his mouth and said: "Grandma, listen, I'm afraid that I will lose a lot of money like this." ”

"Hahaha!" Ding Yi laughed when he heard this, and reached out to pat Cao Jixiang's shoulder, "Old Cao! You'd be wrong! ”

If you don't say anything, even a business genius in this era will not be able to figure it out for a while.

Only Ding Yi understands that printers make money from ink cartridges and carbon rods; Sending mobile phones earns money from phone bills, in order to gain market share; The car can be afforded, but what you can't afford is the cost of parking and car maintenance!

The black division's rifle, even if Emperor Jing had the means to supply himself with ammunition - he had been in the army for ten years, and Ding Yi did not hide the formula of black powder, after all, the nitro * firing * powder had already been obtained, and the technical reserves were sufficient. But how to granulate, how to polish gunpowder particles, how to polish, that is not a formula that can be solved!

And the Marine Corps and the three hundred Jinyi guards who went to Temasek with Uncle Zhong at the beginning, they used all cartridge rifles, although they were also black powder, but this is definitely not something that Emperor Jing can solve, it is always a problem of primer, and the problem of rifling and rifling of the rifle is not something that Emperor Jing can be self-sufficient.

Not to mention heavy weapons such as naval guns and mortars.

As long as Emperor Jing can open up the situation in Canada, then he must be Ding Yi's regular customer.

"Sir, the Ottoman Empire has sent an emissary." Du Ziteng came to report to Ding Yi, not necessarily that he couldn't deal with it, but that Ding Yi did not delegate diplomatic authority to him, and Du Ziteng, who has always been very military, will not overstep his authority.

The envoy was very excited, and when he came up, he accused Ding Yi: "Your and our two countries are friendly countries, and I, the Ottoman prince Shangbai, are studying under His Majesty's Majesty, why did I invade the Ottomans for no reason and kill our officers and soldiers?" ”

"Mehmed II has declared war on me, this is not an invasion, this is a war."

"I don't want to start a war, although I enjoy the smell of gunsmoke."

"Go back, to Mehmed II, and I thank him for giving him a chance to return to the battlefield."

"Because in the midst of war, my appetite and sleep are always at their best." (To be continued) R752
