Chapter 3: The Moon in the Surrendered City is Like Frost (20)

"Your Highness! You lied to me! Yamana Zongquan roared with grief and indignation, if it weren't for the two black-clothed elite guard soldiers, cutting his hands back, he was afraid that he would immediately pounce and fight Ding Yi's life.

Ding Yi was still gentle, looked at him and smiled: "Do I need this?" ”

Yamana Zong was speechless for a while, it was true that Ding Yi didn't even have the need to lie to him, Ding Yi just teased him, like a cat and a mouse.

"It's tragic, isn't it?" Ding Yi smiled at Li Bing.

The latter nodded, and he did not comment on Ding Yi's behavior.

"Let our enemies, then, possess it. I hope that Huaxia will never have to have this virtue. Ding Yi exhaled, in this autumn wind, he had a kind of pleasure that swept away the gloom in his heart.

The supply ships of the East China Sea Fleet have unloaded all the ballast stones, and boxes of silver have replaced the function of ballast stones, which is not part of the indemnity, but as the legitimate income of the Ming Foreign Legion in the Japanese, there is nothing unspeakable, that is, the capture of the war, the income of those famous and powerful people after they were razed.

"The lord wants this country to last forever, for my Huaxia Silver Treasury!" Li Bing sighed on the side, I have to say that boxes of silver will always make people figure out many things and let go of many things, as if it was not the sons of Huaxia who died in battle, Li Bing, an old-fashioned scholar and doctor, really doesn't even have a little psychological burden.

Ding Yi stood at the bow of the boat but shook his head slightly: "Where can you see so far?" Fifty years, or less, thirty years, thirty years, within thirty years, the Japanese should be powerless to commit crimes. Don't underestimate our enemies, they learn new things. Definitely not slow, if the Ming stagnates. Maybe one day, it will be the cannons of the Japanese people who will come and blast open our country. ”

Listen to Ding Yi's words. Li Bingfu smiled and said, "The lord is too humble." He felt that Ding Yi was a little alarmist.

Looking at the boxes of silver loaded onto the supply ship, looking at the Japanese people on the dock, and the Japanese people nodding their heads on the shore, will the Japanese have the ability to invade China in the west in 50 years? Li Bing felt that the war reparations and the young and strong Japanese who died in the war alone were enough to relieve the four or five generations of the Japanese people, and there was also the colonial governance that Li Shao was implementing: every four years, if the number of talents in Xiucai was insufficient, the amount of war reparations should be added to the area; If the conscription fails, it will be killed to fill the gap.

Li Bing thinks. Not to mention the big one, within a hundred years, it is fortunate that the country will not be destroyed by North Korea! On the Korean side, it has always been eyeing the Japanese state. Coupled with the stationing of the foreign army in the Japanese country, in the coming days, it is conceivable how the predicament of the Japanese country can be turned over?

"Don't underestimate them, Zoning." Ding Yi saw Li Bing's psychology, if Li Bing was a person who had experienced the war. I think so, after returning to the mainland of China, the wind direction will definitely be one-sided, and there will even be statements such as the Japanese people are vulnerable. Dante knows it very well. Originally, in 1853, the Japanese Kingdom was opened by the artillery bombardment of the Americans; In 1894, the Japanese were able to fight in the Sino-Japanese War. Defeated the Beiyang Fleet.

After Ding repeatedly emphasized, Li Bing finally reluctantly said. We will no longer despise the Japanese people. It's just that Ding can see that Li Bing actually doesn't agree with this point of view in his heart. It's just that because Ding Yi was in the war of conquest, his extremely accurate vision and strategic layout made Li Bingfa respect him from the bottom of his heart, so he felt that it was okay not to spray.

This made Ding Yi very worried, but he was helpless about it, and at this time, Li Shao on the side said: "Your Highness will return to Huaxia, why don't you reward the woman?" "It's women's sumo, this thing is basically learned from China, and it was also popular in China during the Northern Song Dynasty, and it gradually declined in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Li Shao seems to know the taste of the marrow, but Ding Yi really doesn't have much interest in this kind of "women's naked play", so he shook his head and refused: "There is no delay over there in Huaxia, and Keshu is not too late to have fun and play, and the governance of the army is handed over to Xiang Shilang, and the governance of the people is controlled by Keshu, and you must not take it lightly." ”

Obviously, even Li Bing didn't think that there was any possibility for the Japanese to turn over, and he didn't care about Li Shaolai.

However, as soon as Ding returned to the air, Li Shao had no choice but to respond and did not argue with Ding Yi about this section.

Xiang Wenyao, who led the troops, begged Ding Yi with a bitter face, can you leave the officers of the Foreign Corps and above the regiment behind?

But how is this possible? These are all officers and soldiers of the Rongyi Regiment and the Guard Regiment, who were temporarily sent to fill the position, which is enough to count the elite soldiers of a battalion! But Xiang Wenyao couldn't help complaining: "Even if the new recruits from Jeju arrive, those veterans of the Foreign Legion who have experienced the war have the courage, but there is no one above to preside over military affairs, and there is no order!" Ding Yi was so worn out by him that he had no choice but to take a voluntary approach, and as a result, there was a squad of elite veterans who were willing to stay, and finally dealt with Xiang Wenyao.

When the sea breeze rose, it was a good day to sail, so the East China Sea Fleet left a few destroyers to patrol Echizen, and then marched west in formation.

Stopping for supplies on Jeju Island, Ding Yi took a look at the training of recruits, which was not satisfactory; Liu Ji took silver and pension materials and went to the homes of the dead soldiers to distribute them, mainly Korean soldiers, and the casualties were indeed relatively large

Ding Yi originally wanted to go on a trip in person, because most of the Korean soldiers who died were from Jeolla State, thinking that the whole city would be vegetarian and at least three or four households in ten households would hang white flags, Ding Yi dispelled the idea again, he really didn't want to see such a scene.

Fortunately, Liu Ji is very good at doing such things.

After resting for a few days, seeing that the sea breeze was smooth, Liu Ji also came back, and then hung the cloud sail and went straight to Guangzhou Mansion.

At this moment, the East China Sea, South China Sea, and West Sea fleets have all been equipped with artillery, and at every turn, when the gun window on one side of a battleship is opened, there are more than 50 guns. Not to mention that it is now the main force of the East China Sea Fleet, just a formation of two destroyers and one battleship is enough to sweep away all the ships encountered in the sea between China and Japan. Therefore, not to mention pirates, even if there are real ones, looking at this formation, they have long since fled far away, and the achievements of the Jeolla Left Water Camp in North Korea have long been spread by merchants coming and going, which family is begging for a living at sea, and they can't get along with themselves?

Not to mention the East China Sea, even if you go all the way to Temasek, you can't find a group of pirates, there were originally more than a dozen old pirates at sea to survive, but after robbing two or three times, they were swept away by He Tiedan, the admiral who was also an old pirate, and even the nest set up in the natural haven.

However, a few groups of Chinese ships who secretly went to sea and wanted to get some smuggling of seafood, saw the East China Sea Fleet, and did not even dare to escape, but only kowtowed on the board of the ship and begged for mercy, but said that if they made money selling seafood, they would definitely go to the garrison of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to pay taxes.

It is said that these groups of people deserve to be unlucky, if they meet He Tiedan, who is from a low-class miserable person, he will be roughly reprimanded and let go. Ma Wensheng, a figure from the scholarly class, yearns for the rule of law as Ding Yi said, so he drove them back directly: "I have done the paperwork to go to sea, and it is not too late to come out again!" Now it has been recorded that you and others are born and originated, and when you see you next time, you will be sunk directly! Hmph, fortunately, you still have a guide, if there is no guide, you will be killed by pirates! ”

Those groups of people were all scared.

Ding couldn't look at it, this is no different from hundreds of years of hawkers, unlicensed selling to block traffic, it is indeed unfair to law-abiding people, but watching the law enforcement officers driving away, it is inevitable that he can't bear it, so Ding Yijiao Cao Jixiang gave these groups of people some bits and pieces of silver, and taught them to go to the official document and then come out, but Ma Wensheng bluntly said: "Mr. is like this, isn't it teaching them to take risks again!" Ding Yi, who knew that he was at a loss, opened the topic of haha, but the next time he met, he couldn't help but teach Cao Jixiang to go to the boat to give those people a little silver, and then he was persuaded by Marven Sheng. It was about this sea trip, the only twist and turn.

One after another supply ships docked, handed over the account book to Liu Yiyi to calculate the distribution of the income of all parties, and after the soldiers were compensated, Cao Jixiang, the director of transportation, began to perform his main duty and escorted the silver ship to Beijing.

And half of the ships of the Mediterranean Fleet came to Guangzhou Mansion for maintenance, and Huang Xiaoyang, who led the team, brought Ding Yi a very bad news: "Hueton fought several naval battles on the left, and they all wanted to come out to explore the New World, but after we sent them back, it seems that they changed their course. ”

This made Ding Yi's heart more and more eager to set sail, especially Prince Henry, who presided over the navigation school, also came to ask Ding Yi when he would open up the sea frontier? Or if Ding Yi abandons such an operation, will Portugal be able to form a fleet on its own?

Li Binghe, Wen Fatzi, Yang Shou and the others waited, but they repeatedly persuaded Ding Yi that it was not appropriate for Ding Yi to travel far at this time, because there was obviously a reason to stay, and Ma Ang, the secretary of the military department, had come to write letters! If the Holy Grace is strong, if the constitution is promoted, Ding Yi should stay in China to gain more right to speak.

Ding Yi signed an order for Chen San to go out of the customs to reorganize the Third Division of the Ming Dynasty and ordered Hu Shan to lead the First Division of the Ming Dynasty south to return to Liangguang, both of which were extremely concise orders, and the letter to Yingzong was even simpler: "This should be a two-year period, and the cause of navigation is really imminent, and it cannot be delayed any longer." ”

No matter how much the Mediterranean Fleet locked the Strait of Gibraltar, it would be difficult to lock the pace of the British.

If he missed the feast of the Age of Sail, it was really impossible for Ding Yi to forgive himself.

"At the beginning of spring, after the repair of the Mediterranean Fleet is completed, it will immediately go west, and there is no need to discuss it again." Ding Yi did not hesitate to stop the discussion of the others.

He wants to go on, and let this Ming Dynasty achieve an empire on which the sun never sets in the Age of Discovery! (To be continued......)
