Chapter 2: Fixation of Egypt (17)

In Mamluk, there are people who can see the general trend clearly and have a clear mind.

Not everyone has a greedy heart.

So when the second temporary leader of Mamluk, Abu, took his men to see Ding Yi, he did not go around the city of Cairo, but squatted at the door of Ding Yi's study, yes, squatting, squatting next to the guard, and waited until Ding Yi came out of the affairs of approval and decision-making, and he was still squatting there.

"Why don't you move him a chair to sit on?" Ding Yi frowned and asked the guard, there is no need to insult people, besides, with Ding Yi's status at this moment, insulting this temporary leader of Mamluk can't bring him any pleasure, if you want to say that the Ottoman Sultan is such a hero, it will be quite fulfilling, this crippled Mamluk, insult him? Why bother?

Cao Jixiang whispered on the side: "Young master, I just gave them a horse, don't sit; The guards also said that if they didn't go out for a walk, they would let them go to the reception room for a cup of tea, and they wouldn't go; I just fed them food, and they didn't eat it. "Then the leader of Mamluk, with seven or eight men, squatted there.

At this time, seeing Ding Yi coming, the leader beckoned his subordinates, ran to Ding Yi and knelt down and said, "Your Highness." ”

"Get up, don't be like this, the Ming Dynasty Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, if you don't kneel, you are a prisoner of war, as long as you disarm and leave the battlefield, you won't be allowed to kneel." Ding Yi comforted the leader of the Mamluk with a pleasant face, and personally helped the other party up, even those entourages were picked up one by one.

Then Ding Yi asked him again: "Abu, why don't you eat or drink?" I don't want to rest, just squatting here? Let's talk about it. I'm not going to keep my hand. ”

"Yes, Your Highness." The leader of Mamluk called Ab. But he said to Ding Yi, "I don't know when I can learn?" ”

This made Ding Yi a little surprised: "You are in a hurry? ”

"Yes. Your Highness. ”

This time, I didn't go to the market, because Abu proposed that he could discuss it immediately.

So the competition started at the door of Ding Yi's study.

It ended from the beginning.

As soon as Abd drew his sword from its sheath and came to him, he threw it away.

Ding Yi's blade was close to Abu's neck, and even the epidermis had been cut, he had always been a means of killing with one blow, there were no tricks to dazzle, if it wasn't for the middle feeling that something was wrong, I was afraid that this knife had cut off Abu's head.

"Abu didn't dare to draw his sword at His Highness." This Mamluk chieftain. That's what I said.

"If Abu wants to recognize His Highness as his master, he will have the appearance of Mamluk, and the master is busy, and Mamluk should wait; The master didn't have anything to eat, and Mamluk should be hungry. He explained why he was leading the man and squatting there waiting. Mamluk originally meant slave, and he used the original meaning of the word.

Ding Yi put the knife into the sheath. Looking at his neck, which was still oozing blood, it was not cutting the oily skin, it really hurt the muscles, but Ding Yi did not call the medical soldiers to bandage him. Instead, he smiled and asked, "If I don't stop the knife just now, you will die." ”

"Yes. Abu heard that there is a saying in the Great Tomorrow Dynasty. The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers have to die. Abu will recognize His Highness as his master. The master wanted Abu to die, so he had to die. He didn't cover his neck, which was still bleeding, for if he went on like this, he was afraid that he would really lose too much blood and die in a while, but it also showed that his words were very sincere.

Ding Yi laughed when he heard this, beckoned the medical soldiers to come and bandage him, and told him again: "The Ming Dynasty is implementing constitutional government, everyone is equal, I am afraid that it will not be able to be done for a while, and even hundreds of years later, where there are people, there will always be classes, unless it is a primitive tribal society." However, at least I can not keep slaves myself, you ask Lao Cao, I have never treated anyone as a slave or slave. There are high and low professions, but personality is equal. ”

"If Mamluk can't be a slave to his master, then he has no choice but to go." Abu smiled sadly and said to the retinue behind him, "Your Highness doesn't want us to be Mamluk, you go first." ”

"Yes, then we'll go first."

When he finished speaking, he saw a man say to him, "I'm leaving." ”

Then he drew a knife and cut his neck, so he fell, and he was so ruthless that even Ding Yi didn't have time to stop it, and the guy almost cut half of his neck.

And the second person also drew the knife, but this person was snatched away by Cao Jixiang's splitter.

"Bastard!" Cao Jixiang was furious, and the halberd pointed at the leader of Mamluk, "Do you want to threaten the king with death?" ”

Hearing this, Abu smiled sadly: "Yes, it's my fault. He saluted Ding and beckoned the others, "We want to die, don't die here, let's leave Cairo and leave." ”

But after he walked a few steps, he heard Ding Yi's gentle voice sound behind him: "Why die?" ”

Abu turned around and knelt down: "If Your Highness is unwilling to take us in, we will all die, and Pharaoh will not let us go." When she was young, we hunted her down many times, and her servants, her henchmen, would not let us go. Your Highness will not accept us, and we will not live, and it is more uncomfortable to live in fear than to die. Besides, we don't want to die in the cannon fire that will tear people apart. ”

Fear is fear, because he knows that once he has a conflict with Morena, the Ming army will definitely not sit idly by.

Anyway, it's all death, and the war can't be won at all, and he hopes that at least suicide can leave a whole corpse, and it won't be so painful.

And under Ding Yi's gentle smile, Abu saw that there was also a sharp eye, he had a kind of illusion, even the most secret place in his heart was hidden in Ding Yi's eyes: "We thought that watching us die one by one, His Royal Highness would not be able to stand it after all, it was a dog, as long as it watched the door well, it would always be useful, and it would never teach it to die for no reason." ”

Ding nodded and said indifferently: "Lao Cao will settle a few of them." ”

The Abshu people bowed down excitedly: "Master! Mamluk will always be your most loyal minion! ”

Ding Yi smiled and nodded and motioned for them to retreat with Cao Jixiang, this kind of allegiance, he would never believe it, not to mention that Mamluk's rebellion against the Lord in history was not one or two, believe them? It's better to believe in a dog!

Then Ding Yi called Wen Fatzi over: "Teach the Jews of Zhucheng, choose three representatives from each city, I have something to look for them." ”

The Jewish representatives of Cairo, Alexandria, Ismailia, Aswan, and other cities soon arrived in Cairo on the boat of the Governor of the Suez River in the Ming Dynasty, and they were extremely uneasy, because they feared that Ding Yihui, like the King of France, would squeeze them out of their value and drive them away.

The five Jews who recognized their relatives with the Marine Corps soldiers under Cao Jixiang's arrangement were slightly better, and the procedures on the Ming side, under the crazy gold offensive of dozens of taels of gold at every turn, it was really not difficult to get a household registration among twenty or thirty of their five families.

Of course, I won't talk about the absurdity of the five soldiers, for their ancestors, and accepted the ancestors of the five Jews who died as relatives, but mentioned a sentence: "Now I think it is proof, there is indeed such a thing" and something like that, he not only has the title of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion of the Four Seas, but also hangs the messenger of the regiment and battalion, such a big person as a proof, how difficult is it to get a household registration?

So after finishing it, he went to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to get the relevant documents and documents such as the sea route introduction, and returned to Egypt.

The young and strong people in these five families have the identity of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Even if Ding Yi wanted to drive out the Jews, he would not drive them all away, after all, Ding Yi's image in Egypt was still extremely positive.

But the other representatives of the Jews were really frightened, and many of them washed their faces with tears on board.

The persecution of the Jews did not begin with the Nazis, who were put to naught by Europe.

Perhaps the only consolation was that the sailors on board and the officers who summoned them had a good attitude.

When they arrived in Cairo, these Jewish representatives felt a little more at ease, because when the fat man came to see them, he said to them: "I am worried that my young master will expel you and others?" Hehe, even if you want to take the pharaoh's red and white crown, it's just an order from the young master! You may not think too highly of yourself. ”

Even if it is to oust the Egyptian rulers, it is not necessary to say how powerful the army is, as for those Mamluks who are currently loyal to Morena, do they have the courage to fight against the Ming army? This is not an interrogative sentence, this is a rhetorical question. If they hadn't lost the courage to fight the Ming army, why did they surrender?

So as long as Ding gives an order, Egypt will change hands!

So, if you really want to expel the Jews, you need to find them and call them to Cairo?

The Jews are a very shrewd race, but they are frightened, and as soon as they calm down, they feel that they are only thinking too much, and it is likely that this highness is asking everyone to donate some money and goods, right? I'm not afraid of this, as long as it's not expelled.

They began to discuss how much money they could give, and if Ding Yi quoted a number, how would they bargain? What excuse to use?

He even contacted the local Jews in Cairo to see if they could find some connections and figure out why Ding Yi asked them to pay for this time.

But when they saw Ding Yi, the latter did not ask them to donate money or goods.

Ding invited them to a feast, and asked them about their lives, their business, and their contacts with the Jews of various European countries, and then he said, "I cannot stay in Egypt for a long time, and you must understand this verse." ”

"If I leave Egypt, will you continue to live in peace? That's not something I know. ”

"So, I wondered, should we give you a piece of land, and then you will build a Jewish kingdom yourself?"

This unprepared, sudden happiness made the four old Jews faint on the spot. (To be continued......)
