Chapter 8: The Duel (15)
Of course, the trailing convoy could not have followed too closely and too closely, so they did not ride horses.
"Poseidon's steel puppet!" The killers screamed because it was another thing they couldn't understand.
To put it bluntly, it was two companies on bicycles, carrying heavy 28-inch bicycles.
After getting the rubber shipped from the Americas, the bicycles produced by the Ministry of Industry of Guangdong. There are no gears, ultra-light materials, etc. It's not that Ding Yi doesn't understand these things, and it's not that they're useless, but that they don't make sense to the military. Even the tires are solid.
Just one word: stupid, big black and coarse, durable.
The rear frame puts the gun carriage of the 60 mortar on it, and there is absolutely no need to worry about the car falling apart.
The more parts, on the basis of the same industrial processing, means the higher the failure rate, and the historical Tiger tank is a good illustration of this problem. So Ding Yi will never do that kind of stupid thing, the truth is the key.
What is the concept of leather? It was when the first two reconnaissance squads came with signal flares, faced those assassins, pulled out their pistols and knocked them down directly, picked up the 28-inch bicycle, and smashed more than a dozen killers. After smashing people's bicycles, I put them down and pedaled them, and rushed back to report that there was no problem at all.
"Sir! The Gendarmerie Company and the 1st Police Company had arrived at the assembly site as ordered, and when they were 10 miles away from the assembly point, they spotted an emergency signal flare and rushed to this place immediately. On the way, nearly 200 armed men attacked our unit, killing 36 people and taking 125 prisoners. The 1st Police Company is clearing out the remaining enemies, so I would like to ask for your instructions. Tan Feng, chief of staff of the guard regiment. â
Ding raised his hand and returned the salute: "According to the original plan." â
"Sir, student requests to speak!" Tan Feng's temperament. From Guangxi to Beijing, from Beijing to Egypt, and then from Smyrna to Paris, it has never changed, "Mr. disregarded the discipline regulations, went out without permission, did not carry security personnel, and took the lead in breaking the regulations!" This move has a very bad impact on the military. The situation is extremely bad! As the director of the Judge Advocate General's Office, the student has to pay attention to this matter! â
Anna listened beside her, and couldn't help but let go of the stabbing sword in her hand, because she couldn't speak the official language of the Ming Dynasty, but she could still understand it.
In her opinion, this is a mutiny! Fortunately, the Red Army Changsheng hurriedly grabbed her, or if she rushed over, Tan Feng would definitely have no scruples, and he would dare to kill her on the spot. If you are light, you will immediately cut back and press your arms down, and there is absolutely no surprise. If he hadn't been this fucked up, he wouldn't have been the first batch of students of Rongcheng Academy, and he would have become the chief of military justice and chief of staff of the guard regiment by now.
Ding Yi nodded a little embarrassedly and said, "Yes." It's my fault. I admit this mistake, and when I live an organizational life in the middle of the year, I will seriously review it then. If you go out later. Be sure to inform the relevant personnel to avoid such incidents. Prioritize things. Let's start cleaning up the battlefield right away. â
Tan Feng listened and took out a notebook to record it, and then saluted Ding Yi: "Yes." Students follow his instructions! â
"That's my student." Ding Yi said to Anna with pride, "This is my soldier. In the face of laws and regulations, no one can be exempted, no one can be exempt. They followed me for the revitalization of China, not for their personal future and official position. So he doesn't have to please me, so when I do something wrong, he'll speak up to my face. â
Anna looked at Ding Yi with a look of adoration in her eyes: "The law without exception is like a stable rock, and it is the most stable pillar of the empire!" But Your Majesty, any monarch understands this, but only you, really, are willing to do it! â
However, Jeddah and the Red Army Changsheng on the side exchanged glances with each other, come on, the entire guard regiment is only Tan Feng's two hundred and five! Which of the others is not a follower of the crazy worship of Ding Yi? Including the Ximing Empire, in fact, Ding Yi is the law, both in fact and in law. Because there is no cabinet and no House of Elders, there is no checks and balances at all to restrain Ding Yi.
And whoever dares to restrain Ding Yi will definitely become the public enemy of the guard regiment and the first division of the Praetorian Guard, including the fleet.
For example, Tan Feng, yes, whether in Daming or Ximing, whether on land or at sea, he is a character that no one wants to see. Ding Yi's crazy admirers, including Jeddah and the Red Army Changsheng, were very dismissive of Tan Feng. Even Tan Feng was beaten several times with his head covered for three consecutive nights because of his outspokenness. If Ding Yi hadn't learned about it, he would have opened his mouth to speak for him, and he wouldn't have been able to say that he would have been beaten to death.
But obviously Anna didn't know the actual situation here, so her worship of Ding Yi really reached a peak at this moment, and in her eyes, Ding Yi was a perfect person: "Your Majesty, Anna previously thought that the Pope's canonization of you as a saint was an exchange of interests; Now I understand my naivety, if there is one person in the world who can deserve this title, it is absolutely only you! â
She didn't pat herself on the back, but she felt it.
Because the soldiers under Ding were piercing the wounds of the prisoners, and the officers were announcing a policy of preferential treatment of the prisoners in Arabic and French. Killing prisoners has never been a new thing, especially when it comes to assassinating the king of a country. But the forty or so captives who had surrendered to Ding Yi before were all guaranteed to survive.
Ding Yi personally interrogated the minor leaders of the seven or eight Assassins, in the open space in front of Anna's small castle.
He easily asked what he wanted to know, the three of them faced the ambush of more than 300 killers, and after killing nearly 100 people, they chased and killed the rest of the killers. This is an extremely terrifying memory, and even Ding Yi's gentle smile is a demonic smile for these killers.
But the result of the interrogation made Ding Yi a little confused: "I entrusted the Knights Templar to assassinate Mehmed II?" Or did one of my men do it? Go and call Tan Feng over. Ding Yi commanded the soldiers beside him, Tan Feng came over soon, and Ding Yi asked him, "The overseas security bureau yamen is going to be handed over to you for capture, do you have any news about this?" â
Tan Feng also had no clue, but he raised a question: "There is no big flow of funds on the books, if there is really something, the funds spent must not be a small amount." And the habit of our army, large sums of money, are deposited in the ZĂ i Military Service Agency, and they are received when needed with bills. â
"Your Majesty, I think, I want to report to you privately." Princess Anna was extremely embarrassed, but she mustered up her courage.
Ding Yi was a little unhappy, because he felt that he was more in love with Anna, so he also said directly: "Little girl, you play by yourself for a while." This is a serious matter, I have to sort this thing out first, be obedient, obedient. "Ding Yi can distinguish the weight, go out to play, and go crazy for a long time, that's okay. But when it comes to assassinating the monarch of the Ottoman Empire, there can be no ambiguity.
So he was anxious to summarize the information he had at hand with Tan Feng: "It won't be Qian Chujiu's kid who did it, right?" â
"Probably not." Although Tan Fengren is old-fashioned, he is still very responsible, and he is still very clear about the clues in all aspects, "When the Beijing division set out, Qian Chujiu took 570,000 taels of silver in the account of the British government, and the 170,000 taels of it were recognized by the receipts issued by Shanxi merchants, Qian Chujiu split the 170,000 taels into 26 orders and gave them to 26 women, and it was found that they had some dew marriages with him; 400,000 taels is the voucher of the Ding family's shop, and he used 300,000 taels to buy porcelain, cotton cloth and other goods, and 100,000 taels were deposited in the military service club; When he was in Luzon, He Tiedan, the governor of the South China Sea, gave him 5,000 taels of Chengyi, which was also deposited in the Military Service Society; Crossing Java...... And that batch of goods, he directly approved to the Israelis, and agreed to pay at the end of the year, so it should not be Qian Chujiu. â
Ding nodded, such a major event is not something that can be done by a dozen or two pieces of silver, Qian Chujiu did not use the silver, so it can indeed be ruled out. But for a moment, he couldn't think of anyone who would arrange for the Assassin to do such a thing. Because both Du Ziteng and Yu Qian are knowledgeable about military affairs, and they know very well that the monarch of this country is not so easy to assassinate!
If it's so easy to get, why don't you just let a few special squads that are still scattered in the Ottoman army do it?
"That Yan." At this time, the Red Army Commander, who had bandaged the wound by the hygienist, came over and saluted Ding, "Princess Nafanbang said that she knew about this and wanted to ask Na Yan to take a step to speak. â
Ding was stunned for a moment before he reacted, nodded and asked Tan Feng to wait, then walked over to Princess Anna and asked, "You know?" â
He was a little incredulous, there was no reason why Anna could know what her subordinates were doing, but Tan Feng couldn't find out the news!
"I did it." Princess Anna also knows the importance of it, and she doesn't dare to sell anything to hang her appetite.
"I don't know, Your Majesty is omnipotent. My father also thought that His Majesty was definitely not good at fighting, especially when it came to fighting with prohibited firearms. And Mehmed II was rumored to be very strong. I was worried, worried about whether His Majesty would be able to sway as freely in the dueling arena as he did in front of the piano. She lowered her head shyly and wrung her slender fingers, "So, so ...... I'm sorry, Majesty, but I was smart. â
Ding Yi was stunned for a long time before he reacted, and said with a smile: "It's okay, just figure out what's going on." Hi girl, thank you. He said, kissing her lightly on the forehead.
She responded by kissing him on the lips, albeit only lightly, but in full view of everyone, it made her cheeks red.
Naturally, Ding Yi could not stay in this castle for the rest of his life, so Princess Anna found a few surviving servants in the castle and sent them to Paris to deliver a letter, and the French cavalry, numbering nearly a thousand people, sailed here. But they can only take over the corpses in one place. More than forty captives who surrendered, long ago, were sent away, along with machine guns in the carriage.
"Your Majesty, how will the second meeting be arranged tonight?"
Marguerite was referring to the French Republican assembly, and Ding glanced at her and said, "You will preside over it." If you are competent, maybe you will be able to do all this kind of work in the future. (To be continued......)
