When Sofia received Cao Jixiang's notice, there was no reluctance to be summoned at all.

In fact, she had been looking forward to this moment for a long time, and when she set off from Egypt, she was looking forward to the meeting of Poseidon, the king of the sea, in Western legends. Or, Ding Yiyi is the prince charming of many women's dreams in this era, he doesn't need to threaten Sofia with power at all, just talking about his willingness to see her, it is already an irresistible attraction.

This made her come to the Jinghai County Mansion in Goldfish Hutong, it was more than half an hour later, because she was very nervous about this meeting, for fear of leaving any bad impression on Ding Yi, so she even washed off her makeup and then washed it off and put on it again, so she went out several times.

"Sofia of Byzantium, meet Your Highness!" She was so excited that even the tail note was trembling.

Ding Yi motioned for her to sit down, but at the first time, he corrected her words: "Not Sofia of Byzantium, but Sofia of the Roman Empire, you came with the inheritance of Rome, this is the primary reason why I am willing to see you, of course, I like your eyes, they are so blue that they are enough to make any man intoxicated by your eyes." ”

Because Sofia and Ding Yi were both answering in French, Cao Jixiang and Liu Ji, who could understand French, coughed lightly, they felt that Ding was a little too frivolous and not very solemn, after all, this was an envoy to receive a foreign emperor, even if it was an envoy of the emperor who had died

But it was clear that Sofia didn't feel anything wrong, and her snow-white face flushed: "Yes, respected Highness, as you wish. Sofia from the Roman Empire, salute you! "She's smart. I immediately understood what Ding Yi meant. Byzantium, not enough to satisfy Ding Yi's appetite. If Ding Yi is going to accept her, then he needs a crown, not a crown.

Ding nodded and said, "Very good, this is a pleasant start, Sofia, do you mind if I call you that?" ”

"Of course not! It made me feel at home, like my uncle, in front of me. She was like a frightened fawn, after she spoke. Only then did I discover my language problem, "No, no! I mean, my uncle, who calls me so, is much more handsome and much younger than him. ”

"So Sofia, have you ever been on the wall during the siege of the city for so many years?" Ding Yi didn't want to flirt with her at this moment, and began to ask her questions about the combat strength of the Ottoman soldiers. "I wonder how the Ottomans captured Constantine, and by what did they rely on to conquer that mighty city?"

"The Ottomans were strong at sea. They followed Octavian's naval battle formation, and Constantine had no way to confront the Ottomans at sea. "Sofia still has palpitations when he speaks." When they attacked the city, they had extremely strong artillery fire. It is said that the Hungarians helped them, and that their soldiers were not afraid to die. If it weren't for the support of the Ming Dynasty, Constantine might have fallen a few years ago. ”

Sofia had a keen eye and did not boast of the valiance of Constantine's defenders. This made Ding Yi and the people who listened to Cao Jixiang translate her words couldn't help but have a good impression of her.

Chen San signaled to Ding Yi that he had something to ask, and after getting Ding Yi's permission, he opened his mouth and asked, "What are the tactics of the Ottomans?" I mean, after the shelling, their infantry began to attack? Or did the soldiers begin to storm the city at the same time as the shelling? Their main means of attack were cavalry, bows and arrows, or firearms? ”

He is the level of the coordination of the infantry artillery, for Chen San, he knows what the key point is.

The point is not how many troops the Ottomans had, but how much attack power the opponent could devote to the battlefield in a unit of time.

If the infantry and artillery can be used in coordinated combat, then the Ottomans should not be regarded as cold-armed troops, even if the opposing infantry still uses cold-weapon weapons; If, on the other hand, the Ottomans finished their artillery and the infantry attacked, then the threat would be much lower.

"Terrible Urban cannon, no one dares to attack when it is fired!" This Sofia can make a very intuitive answer, after all, in Constantine for so many years, even listening to the sound of cannons can hear experience, "Their cavalry is also very brave!" However, it is mainly used with scimitars and bows and arrows. ”

Chen San got up and saluted, as a sign of respect for Sofia, and then sat down again and said to Ding Yi: "Sir, in this case, the disciple thinks that the threat is not too great. As long as the infantry and artillery coordinated drills proposed by the gentleman, and the layers of mortar and machine-gun fire were well integrated, the continuous attacks were enough for the Ottomans to lose their artillery units. ”

"Well, you have drafted a charter for this, and when this is the case, you have to hurry up and start arranging the training."

Then Ding Yi said to Sofia, "Will you marry me?" You see, I already have five wives. ”

"I do!" Sofia didn't have any hesitation at all, as a nobleman whose country had perished, marrying the extremely powerful King of Daming County at this time, marrying the king of the sea, was definitely her best choice. And as a woman, being able to be with a legendary Prince Charming like Ding Yi is definitely a happy ending.

"I respect your choice, Cao Jixiang and the Ministry of Rites will discuss the details of the wedding with your entourage."

At this point, that is, to send off the guests, Cao Jixiang came over, and Sofia also got up and said goodbye with interest, this meeting scene was quite inconsistent with her imagination, she was not invited to dine, nor was she invited to visit this beautiful country, not even a kiss ceremony.

But she didn't complain, not even that kind of thought.

Seeing Ding Yi was enough to make her drunk.

What's more, her uncle's last order has finally been fulfilled.

As for the matter of Ding Yi's wives, except for Xue Ning, she already knew about the others, that is, in Constantine, Liu Yiyi's name has blossomed everywhere through the Ding family's trading house, and it has long been familiar to the West; On the first-aid kit of every Ming soldier, there are first-aid guidelines and signatures written by Natural, so this name is by no means unfamiliar; Speaking of Ding Ruyu, she is the idol of those female soldiers in the Ming New Army; As for the female pharaoh of Egypt, who does not know that she is the wife of Ding Yi? It has long been spread all over the world, so that many Western dilapidated aristocratic ladies are speculating about Ding Yi's preferences, hoping to be like Mo Rena, because of climbing Ding Yi, and restoring the glory of their ancestors.

As soon as Ding could agree to the marriage contract, she was already satisfied.

It's just that after she left, no one in the room congratulated Ding.

Because everyone here knows why Ding Yi agreed to this marriage contract that he desperately refused.

To put it bluntly, it is no more!

Zhu Jianshen is not like Yingzong, who trusts Ding Yi more than Ding Yi himself; Therefore, Ding Yi naturally can't have the same feelings for Zhu Jianshen as Yingzong.

"It's my own fault that people always grow up, and I always think that he is still the child with cowardice." Ding Yi laughed self-deprecatingly, yes, every time he talked about Zhu Jianshen, he always thought of the stammering child, but in fact, Zhu Jianshen had grown up, and he was already the Ninety-Five Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Chen San stood up at this time and said, "The disciple thinks that Liangguang cannot be abandoned. ”

"How many people are there who are dedicated to Mr. The gentleman abandoned it and let the imperial court send people to go, which was nothing more than the appearance of the Ministry of Industry. What's more, the first emperor has a will, teach Mr. Yongzhen Liangguang, how can Mr. bear to abandon the trust of the first emperor? ”

Chen San knows Ding Yi very well, and he thinks that after Ding Yi accepts the marriage contract, he is likely to go to sea, and he doesn't care about Huaxia, let Zhu Jianshen and the cabinet and parliament toss. Anyway, on the American side, as Ding Yi said, there are too many fruits that can be picked at your fingertips.

"Of course I won't give up on Liangguang." Ding Yi motioned for Chen San to sit down.

"I never look at that chair, not only because once the dynasty changes, the people will inevitably suffer, but also because the imperial system is a product that will be eliminated by the times, unless it enters the constitutional era, and it is really a parliamentary constitution, a monarch? That's just an ornament, right, so what's the point? Why let your children and grandchildren inherit the wolf bèi of the last royal family? ”

"But I'm not used to holding back my hands."

"Fat Wen, after dawn, enter the palace immediately and arrest the chamberlain designated by Shi Heng!"

Hearing what Ding Yi said, the fat man hurriedly responded: "Yes, young master, as soon as the morning dawns, the fat man will go to the criminal department to ask for a driver's post." ”

Driver's post, the arrest warrant of this era.

"No need, when it comes to the military, you go to find Tan Feng, and the Ming Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and the military procuratorate can approve the arrest."

Chen San listened, but arched his hand and said, "Sir, think twice." ”

Because Ding Yi did this, he bypassed the Criminal Department, that is, the army's business, and he didn't want the Criminal Department to take care of it at all.

"It's so decided, if there is no right to approve arrests, what is the significance of the military procuratorial organs?"

Once Ding decided to do it, it wasn't about arresting someone or pleading for anything.

What he seeks is institutional disruption and disintegration.

As for whether this is what Zhu Jianshen meant?

This is not important, for the people who handle the case below, evidence is needed, for Ding Yi, if this kind of thing happens in Beijing, even if it is not instigated by Zhu Jianshen, it must be attributed to Zhu Jianshen.

"Youzhi drafted a charter to claim territory from the Ottomans in the name of the Ming Metropolitan Governorship."

"It would be a shame for me, as Emperor of the Roman Empire, to have no land in Rome."

"I don't want to go to war, but if the Ottomans have to humiliate me, then I can only fight."

"That's right, the threat of war is the threat of war!" (To be continued......) R1292
