Rong County in this early autumn is quite a scene, near the end of the Duqiao Mountain, looking at the city wall of the county, you can see a large piece of maple leaves, like fire and blood, in this autumn wind to teach people to look, there is a lot of warmth in the chest. Zhao Fu looked at the maple tree, pulled the stopper of the wine bag in his hand, and then stuffed it back.

The soldiers around him couldn't bear it, and persuaded him: "General, I'm used to the bitter cold at the border, come and take two sips of wine to keep out the cold, it's not an unsightly thing, you drink less, so hard to quit all at once, who can stand it!" Alas...... "Actually, not only Zhao Fu, but also this pro-soldier is uncomfortable with wine worms in his throat, but Zhao Fu endures it, and as a pro-soldier, he can only endure it."

"Don't you understand?" Zhao Fu pulled the plug, so many times, finally still didn't drink, threw the wine bag to the pro-soldier, he smiled bitterly and walked on the city wall to patrol, while saying to the pro-soldier and the two hundred households that followed, "Duke Jin really doesn't look down on us, not only us, those tens of thousands of border troops, Duke Jin and his old man don't look down on it at all!" ”

What he said was because the imperial court sent someone to ask Ding Yi if the tens of thousands of border troops could quell the chaos in a short time? If not, the army will be transferred to Yunnan to calm the rebellion. Ding Yi said on the spot that he didn't need these tens of thousands of border troops, he never needed them, and there was no place for these tens of thousands of border troops in the military strategy to pacify Guangxi.

To put it bluntly, Ding Yi thought that these tens of thousands of border troops were wasting grain and grass. In fact, both Zhao Fu and Ding Yi knew that if Ding said that he wanted to leave these border troops behind, even if he still couldn't quell the rebellion after a year, what would the court do to Ding Yi? The answer is not at all. Even Ding Yi may use Shi Pu to supervise the season in Guangxi. His layout is messed up, so at present, these tens of thousands of border troops can't go, and they need to stay for a while, etc.

As long as Ding Yi wants to keep these soldiers and horses. Some of them are excuses, but when he answers, he really doesn't want to.

Therefore, Zhao Fu reported on the spot that there was an important military situation to inform Ding Yi, please retreat. Then he directly asked to be cast under Ding Yimen: "The suspect of the Duke of Jin is nothing more than the arrogance of the border army, and the small ones are not talented, but they guarantee that they can restrain their sergeants." If you order and forbid, you will not make a mistake! ”

At that time, Ding Yi nodded appreciatively and said to Zhao Fu: "You are good. It's a pity, not to mention the sergeants under my command, even you yourself can't keep my rules. Among the first divisions of the Ming Dynasty. There are many rules, if you are not used to it, go to Yunnan, maybe there, you can show your strengths. ”

Zhao Fu couldn't kneel down for a long time, saying that he would be able to comply, so Ding Yi gave him a sentence: "Okay, quit drinking." Within February, not a drop of alcohol will be soaked. I will send teachers into the camp and begin to train your soldiers and horses according to the regulations of the first division of the Ming Dynasty. "Sending teachers and Xi into the camp, this is basically the rhythm of digesting Zhao Fu's soldiers and horses. Ding Yi knew this, and he also knew that Zhao Fu could understand what it meant: Unless you can do the agreement, I don't even have any interest in eating your soldiers and horses.

If Ding Yi said this before rescuing Shi Pu, Zhao Fu would definitely prevaricate and then retreat, and then lead his troops to Yunnan. But when rescuing Shi Pu, the modern military posture of the 201 Regiment of the Mountain Brigade really fascinated Zhao Fu, he knew the soldiers, so he could see at a glance that this was an elite soldier! What's more, listening to the border troops who fought in coordination with the first regiment of the first brigade, they were surrounded with Shi Pu, and then the border troops who rushed out together described the scene when the first regiment was fighting, which made him even more sure that this was definitely an elite soldier.

And Zhao Fu knew better that this was just a soldier that Ding Yi had been training for a few months. Not only did he believe that he could be promoted and make a fortune with Ding Yi, but it was even more difficult to suppress the desire in his heart to command an army like the 201 Regiment, which could command an army that was unimpeded and strictly implemented the commander's intentions.

Ding Yi's reply to the Ministry of War, the first division of the Ming Dynasty is a newly trained army, and he needs Zhao Fu's 3,000 cavalry to stay, as a night not to collect, to charge the cavalry, and the rest of the border troops are all going to Yunnan. The approval of the Ministry of War came down quickly, and Ding Yi's request was agreed, and the imperial court could still take out three thousand military horses, which was also acceptable.

Even Emperor Jing specially revised the so-called "family letter", saying that it was "...... Hearing that Rujin was assassinated again, the Tartars hated you to the bone, and now there is the trouble of rebellion...... It is advisable to transfer their guards before and after, and to ...... strategy, "To put it bluntly, Emperor Jing is deeply afraid of dying another Ding Rujin in Guangxi, and the death of Song Qin, the former political secretary, has made him unacceptable. As far as the imperial court is concerned, if Ding Yi is not effective in quelling the chaos, he can be taken away from the title, the iron coupon Danshu, cut from his post, and taken into Beijing to be questioned, but he must not die in Guangxi.

Dan Ding Yi gave Zhao Fu a death order: "If you get drunk within February, you can be stationed in Rong County, as long as you are in Guangxi for a day, no matter what merit you make, you must not leave Rong County half a step." "So Zhao Fu quit drinking, and he joined Ding's family, not to stay in Rong County for a long time.

"Nineteen days to go." Zhao Fu patted the shoulder of his own soldier and said to him and the two hundred households, "Remember, no matter what, you can't teach someone to dip into alcohol, if someone makes a fuss, it will be the same as last time, just tie up a certain person, remember?" Although the pro-soldiers and the hundred households nodded in response, they really didn't understand, what was there to do under the gate of Dingrong City? It's so uncomfortable.

"It's very uncomfortable for me." Ding Yi drew a stroke on the drawing, then threw down the charcoal pen, rubbed his temples and complained to Du Ziteng.

And sitting on the side were Li Gongtou and two other masters; Liu Yiyi and several of her big shopkeepers; Ding Junyue, Xing Dahe and other officers; Xu Hui and a few people from the Thunder School all looked at Ding Yi with blank eyes, of course, except for the natural stupidity of lying on the table and being so bored that he began to snore slightly.

Craftsman Li looked at Ding Yi and stopped writing, and said humbly: "Sir, this really can't be done, if you don't have a charter, we can't think of a way!" The master craftsmen also nodded, "It's really impossible, if it's the kind of revolver bullet, I'll try it later, and use steel as a shell, but I can make do with it; But the gun with the long pole you draw, I really can't get it, the parts are all according to the size on the drawing, we have measured a few little by little, but before the shot, the bolt is pulled, and the bullet can be withdrawn, but as soon as the fire is fired, the copper-plated bullet casing can't be pulled out after the shot......", "wrought iron is not good, it will break ......", "black powder will not be ......"

Ding Yi really had a headache when he heard it, and asked him to draw a drawing of the firearm including the size, which he had no problem, but to solve these things that Li Jiangtou said, it was not something he could give an answer to immediately, even if he searched his intestines and scraped his stomach, the answer he came up with after the most difficult thing could only be a guess.

At this time, Ding Junyue also spoke: "In the militia training, many people began to be lazy, they couldn't get up on the ground, saying 'you fight, it's good to survive these days anyway', and you can't corporal punishment, the instructors in charge of militia training below have a headache, and I don't know how to deal ......with it."

"Uncle, there are a few accounts here in the concubine that I want to verify with my husband......" Liu Yiyi is basically the only person around Ding Yi who calls him uncle, she said that the big shopkeepers spread out the account book, pointed to the entries on the account book and showed Liu Yiyi, and the latter began to ask Ding Yi, "To hold such a trade fair, if you send an invitation to the political envoys of the two capitals and thirteen cloths, which layer should you go to?" The political envoy is in charge of the office? The state capital? Or is it a county seat? "Because the transportation in this era is very inconvenient, the money and time spent to go to the county seat and to the political envoy office are many times worse, and Liu Yiyi has more than this question, "How to measure the proportion of the margin charged by the futures that the husband said the night before?" If someone buys and sells short on the same day, then even if we charge transaction fees, what should we do with the goods he operates......"

"Stop!" Ding Yi sat weakly on his chair and said to the room, "I need to take a break......

Ding Junyue said helplessly: "But sir, if this joint can't be done, our militia training is equivalent to spending grain for them to eat and drink, and it is useless at all!" There were only a few people who started to be lazy, but now there are more and more of them, and the militia in the workshop is better, the militia in Huaiji County and Cangwu County are all so lazy, and even the militia who were originally trained hard have begun to learn to be lazy, because if they are not lazy, those who are lazy will make fun of them on the side......"

"Sir, if there is no charter here, the factory, I and a few other masters and a dozen apprentices will be blind there, and they can't do their work......" Craftsman Li was also shouting, no one could afford to delay, you must know that these people are Ding Yi's scientific research team, if there is no progress, it is really better to forge a few more barrels.

Liu Yiyi also felt that there was no relief here: "Husband, if this can be done, you treat Wuzhou Mansion as a Huaiji, and use food stamps to raise Ducheng...... This can be regarded as a temptation. The trade fair and the futures market, although Ding Yi only mentioned it inadvertently, let Liu Yiyi see unlimited business opportunities.

"By the way, senior brother, the scalpel really has to be made of steel." Naturally, he didn't know when Lu Dao woke up, rubbed his eyes and said, "That iron, there will be rust, I don't dare to use it if I rust together, I can't operate on it." "She came to find Ding Yi, not like she had done in Beijing before, and asked Ding Yi to accompany her to play or go to the rivers and lakes.

It's business, and a room full of people coming to him is business.

Ding felt that he was about to go into shock, and he looked at Du Ziteng helplessly: "Zhanzhi, let's say, what are you doing here?" Let's talk about it, let's talk about it together. Du Ziteng came to look for him, naturally it was impossible to visit the door without trouble, at this time, no one in Wuzhou Mansion was idle.

"The knife seller was detained by the yamen in Huguang," Du Ziteng said in a low voice, "The rice seller, more than a dozen people are missing, and the road says that the White Lotus Sect did it." "Naturally, he doesn't care about selling knives and rice, the so-called selling rice is a semi-open organization of the Zhongyi Society; Selling knives is the secret core organization Heaven and Earth Society.

Ding Yi was speechless, this matter really can't be delayed, and it is also for him to decide.

And Xu Huo still sat honestly on the side and didn't speak, I'm afraid it's not like he didn't have nothing to do to drink tea.

Ding Yi suddenly felt that it was better for people to do what they were good at. For example, killing, he is good at killing, even if he just throws him a knife and tells him to kill a thousand people, it seems to be easier than it is now—much easier! (To be continued......)
