Ding Yi's Struggle (16)
"I, Marguerite of Anjou, swear allegiance to His Majesty until I am called by the Lord's grace, and I am the most loyal knight of His Majesty at all times, and I do not question any orders given by His Majesty, whether to the weak or the strong, or to relatives or close friends, my sword is subject only to the orders of my Emperor."
"If His Majesty orders me to stay in the Kunpeng Imperial City, then I will be stationed here; If His Majesty wishes me to return to England, I will cross the Channel again, no matter how many enemies I face. Margaret folded her hands on her knees, knelt down on one leg, and said this, and then she fell silent and said no more.
This woman, who held the actual authority of the whole of England when Henry VI was mentally ill, she had enough wisdom and scheming enough to kick the ball to Ding Yi. In fact, she would prefer to stay, but she hopes that this is a choice made by Ding Yi for her.
Ding Yi had a headache about this kind of thing, he shook his head and said to Liu Yiyi: "Lady, otherwise, teach her ......"
"Husband, in the letter you gave me, you mentioned that when Xiaoliu decided to stay in Cairo, you had inexplicable sadness and melancholy. The concubine thought that if the husband didn't want to hurt again, it would be better to follow the concubine's method to cook better. If the husband sits widely, if the concubine does not meet the husband's wishes, how about the grace from above? "Speaking of the back, there is a bit of vinegar. Liu Yiyi has a huge business network, and after ten years, she naturally has some momentum, especially this harem matter, which she should be in charge of, so Ding Yi wanted to intercede, but she choked back.
Ding Yi looked at Liu Yiyi and reached out to hold her soft. I pinched it lightly, and finally sighed. Saying no more, he sat down. He remembered a lot of the past. The most indebted is the woman in front of her. And she has never complained, she has been silently supporting behind herself, at least before the founding of the Ximing Dynasty, the basic Ding Yi economic aspect is all dependent on Liu Yiyi to take care of.
She never offered to reward her brother and father; He has never proposed to put anyone in the yamen or the army. Even after the founding of the country, she took the initiative to propose it to Ding Yi. should find someone to replace him, and the treasury handed over to Yang Ding, the finance minister of Ximing, has a surplus of nearly 10 million taels.
Ding Yi couldn't bear to speak, and he couldn't bear to fight.
"You have to choose, I know you can understand the official language of the Ming Dynasty, you have to tell me clearly, what is your choice."
"Whatever you choose, it's not a problem, but if you don't. Or push this matter to His Majesty, then, that's the problem. Do you know? If I offer a loan of four million taels of silver, to Edward IV. The British Republican Organization, perhaps, is a blister, no matter how beautiful it may seem. ”
Margaret didn't hesitate any longer. I didn't dare to pin my hopes on Ding Yi anymore. Because the queen of Ximing in front of her has given her enough deterrence and shock. The key is that she knows every number Liu Yiyi said. It's not a joke. Because she got the activity funds from Ximing; As far as Margaret knew, Isabella of Castile was also receiving funds in Simin; The same is true of the French Republican Organization.
Liu Yiyi can get the resources she proposed, she doesn't have to use the majesty of the queen at all, and she doesn't have to play any palace tricks, she uses money and real silver to smash Margaret honestly.
"Your Royal Highness, I am not so stupid as to stay away from Your Majesty and you for the sake of a toy for the children who will come to life. Yes, I am willing to garrison the Imperial City of Kunpeng, as the most loyal knight of His Majesty, and defend my emperor with my sword! ”
The child's toy, she said the crown of the King of England.
She was quoting Liu Yiyi's words, because Liu Yiyi had just said that if necessary, she would use enough money to take down the crown and give it to the child in Margaret's womb as a toy.
"Hmm." Liu Yiyi sat next to Ding Yi and said to Margaret, "How did you wait for Your Majesty?" Show me. This made Ding Yi a little embarrassed, but Margaret had no psychological obstacles, she kissed the tip of Liu Yiyi's shoe, all the way up.
This made Liu Yiyi's face gradually turn red, and she naturally stayed on the side and watched, and said to Ding Yi in surprise: "Senior brother, this Bang woman, it's really, really unbearable!" He said to Liu Yiyi again, "Sister, but teach her to step down!" ”
Ding Yi also smiled bitterly and persuaded: "Lady, this exotic fetish ......"
"Nope." Liu Yiyi began to gasp, her hand pressed on Margaret's hair, and looked at Ding Yi, her eyes were already like silk, "She is pregnant like this, and the concubine body has to give it a try." She stretched out her hand, held Ding Yi's hand, and said to Margaret with a pant, "Be careful, if you do it well, you will not be taught to suffer in the future." So Margaret worked harder and harder, Liu Yiyi's breathing gradually became heavier, and even her toes straightened unconsciously, and Ding Yi, who had been waiting for the loose clothes to be untied, naturally stepped forward and discussed with Liu Yiyi in simple terms to discuss the problem of steam engine piston.
Whether Liu Yiyi can get pregnant is still a matter that will take time to prove. But Margaret has her own bedroom, living room, study and so on in the Kunpeng Imperial City after this day. And what she was worried about did not happen, neither Ding Yi nor Liu Yiyi regarded her as just a fertility tool.
In fact, from the moment she kissed the tip of Liu Yiyi's shoes, she had prepared for the worst and played the role of a bedmaid.
But it turns out she's got something wrong. Liu Yiyi is not to humiliate her, but the problem of pregnancy has been bothering Liu Yiyi for ten years, so she is constantly looking for a way. And Ding Yi is not as she thought, in order not to anger the queen who holds the business network, and quickly abandoned, she has never had any promises.
Yes, Ding Yi couldn't do such a thing, even though he had stated it to Margaret at the time.
He couldn't do it after all. He not only returned the maids and servants who were detained by Cao Jixiang at the port to Margaret, but also sent a squad of female soldiers to take charge of her safety.
Moreover, the progress of the British Republican Organization will be regularly presented to her, and she will decide the next step of the organization.
Including the activity funds, etc., it is up to her to decide and dispose of them.
What Liu Yiyi rewarded her was not any gold and silver utensils and ornaments, but the Huaxia Railway Commercial Bank, one percent of the shares, and two thousandths of the dividends of the Ding Family Commercial Bank. It doesn't sound like much, but in fact, it is close to this period, and the annual income of the British royal family. Of course, there is a premise for this qiē, and it is impossible for her to withdraw the money now, and she will not be able to really have these things until Margaret's child Shun Lì is born.
"No, I don't have to fight for that crown in Henry's name." "I believe that the English need a king or queen," said Margaret, to the maid who had been with her for many years, and that the republican organization that would permeate the whole territory would find a suitable time for the Parliament and the nobility to invite me back to London, as long as our cause progressed and permeated the whole territory. ”
The maid looked outside the door and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, but the great majesty and the queen, will you be allowed to return to England and ascend to the throne?" ”
"You're thinking wrong." Margaret laughed, and said to her faithful maid, "There is no question of zài, the question is whether I will leave the Imperial City of Kunpeng and return to the stinking London." Her eyes inadvertently swept over the text on the case, which was the source of her peace of mind.
If Ding Yi or Liu Yiyi had any idea of deducting her, they would not let her decide and decide these things. Although she is not in England, this organization has been developed and strengthened by her under such operations. In addition to the "Tekko" led by Tart Machi Ikirata, the British Republican Organization is a force that completely belongs to her.
Yi Qiē seems to be developing in a good direction, and Ding Yi is also going smoothly for the training of officers in the newly formed ten divisions, and if there are no accidents, in this winter, the training of officers will be completed. And in the spring, these ten divisions should be able to complete the training of recruits and begin to devote themselves to the training of specialized subjects.
But in Constantau, there is a conspiracy that is coming in the direction of Smyrna.
The young caliph Bayezid, after returning to Constantine, insisted on running and exercising every morning, like his teacher Ding Yi. Even Shi Pu, who came from Huaxia to join the Ottomans, couldn't help but say after more than ten days: "I see the shadow of the army in you." ”
Because Bayezet is obviously imitating Ding Yi, and even communicating with low-level soldiers, handling government affairs, and so on.
"But no matter how much you resemble an army, you are not him after all."
"If you want to learn to control the army to defeat him, Shi Heng has already tried, and the result is tragic."
"Perhaps, no one can beat him." Shi Pu said, smiling desperately.
"No, there is no one in this world who cannot be defeated, my friend from the Far East." Bayezet threw the towel to the waiter, and said to Shi Pu, "You see, my father, a generation of heroes, can also be defeated and killed? ”
"I confess that my great teacher is terrible, towering, and a terrible enemy."
"But he can be defeated just as well." Bayezet said firmly to Shi Pu.
Shi Pu smiled bitterly and said, "Respected caliph, maybe." ”
He couldn't go and carry Bayezet on the spot, but he really couldn't go along with the other party's statement.
"Do you think I was the one who defeated him?" Bayezet smiled and shook his head.
"No, it will be himself who will defeat my great teacher." (To be continued......)
