Chapter 6 Europe (2)

Ding is not a good man, and dares to say that if Mehmed II had set the duel in Constantinople, he would have beaten Constantine down and then fulfilled the cruel words of this duel; Mehmed II is also a ruthless character, in addition to the arrogance of the angry Ding Yi, he also has a breath to hold.

It must be known that the Eastern Roman Empire fell in the hands of Mehmed II, and in the eyes of Mehmed II, Ding Yi is just inheriting the inheritance of the Eastern Roman Empire, why should he be crazy with himself? So he didn't choke, just silently prepared to teach Ding someone a profound lesson.

"The Aegean Fleet of the Roman Empire left Smyrna? Is this information confirmed? Mehmed II asked his generals again to confirm that he had good military attainments and was not the kind of monarch who messed around with a hot head, otherwise the Ottoman Empire would not have started its journey to dominate Europe in his hands.

The general under his command confirmed the news: "I have confirmed again and again, it will not be wrong to give money and sheep to the person who sent the news." Many of the soldiers of the Ming people got on the ship and left, and four or five people who reported the news said that the soldiers who came on board were the first division of the Roman Guard, and that they remained in Smyrna, with only their arrogant emperor and his escort. ”

Another general on the side added, "There are also thousands of Ming people, who seem to be preparing to station in Smyrna. ”

Muhammad II stroked his thick beard, nodded, and motioned for several generals to step down.

"Father, my teacher is a madman, what Roman Empire? Hey! Bayeselli sneered as he spoke. He thought that the Roman Empire was a joke, because there were no territorial states at all. It's not absent in Europe, but it's just an empty shell title. Who wants to take it seriously and think that he can really be on an equal footing with the king of a country. What is that not a madman?

Mehmed II was obviously not as relaxed as Bayeselli, and he thought for a long time before he spoke: "At least he now has Smyrna, and he is no longer an emperor without territory." The remnants of the army that came from Mamluk, when it came to the strength of the Ming people's ships and guns, I was prepared in my heart, but I didn't expect it to be so strong. ”

"This is also my crazy teacher, the only thing I can rely on!" Bayeselli was still unimpressed, as he had met Ding Yi. He thinks that Ding Yi is definitely in vain, "I have seen him, father, he is not a good monarch; Even, he is not a qualified monarch. He concentrates all the characteristics of a loser, irritable, arrogant, arrogant. Of course, his erudition. It's the only plus. ”

Bayeselli was the monarch who pushed the Ottomans to another peak after his father, and he looked down on Ding Yi, but that did not mean that he did not find Ding Yi's merits. Even if it's just a short meeting: "He's very knowledgeable, there's no doubt about that, and he's not trying to show off." It's just that in the conversation with him, people will feel his knowledge. If he is committed to academics, he should be an excellent teacher. I don't deny that. ”

"But he's definitely not a good monarch."

"His arrogance and irritability will ruin him; He seems to be more like a knight of the West who tends to defend his honor than a king of a country. ”

Muhammad II smiled when he listened: "It seems that it is a good decision to send you to Smyrna, you have a keen eye, son. However, do not despise your teacher, and remain polite to a monarch and teacher until you cut off his head. ”

And after Bayeselli left, Mehmed II called his confidant ministers: "Urban cannons, all ten urban cannons must be in place." He did not look down on Ding Yi as Bayeselli did, and Muhammad II thought that Ding Yi could be called the Poseidon of the East, and that it was definitely not easy to take Egypt.

Therefore, he wants to use the strongest force to crush Ding Yi directly!

This was not an order from Mehmed II in Constantinople, but in the big camp in Bursa.

In fact, it is not only Bayeselli who thinks Ding Yi is crazy.

Even the Duke of Burgundy, known as Charles the Bold by the whole of Europe, was not optimistic about Ding Yi.

Charlie the Bold, for ordinary people in later generations, may be far less famous than King Lionheart and the like.

But in Europe at this time, he was the powerhouse of his time, owning not only Burgundy, but also the county of Boulogne, Luxembourg, and part of the Netherlands and Picardy. The territory of the Duchy stretches from the turbulent English Channel to the snowy Alps to the empire.

The Netherlands is not strictly speaking, it is the Netherlands.

Charlie the Bold is a military strongman, and his father has not been able to calm Liege for 30 years, and Charlie swept it in half a month. Dinan was slaughtered and burned to the ground. He was even ready to lead the dukes in a crusade against Louis XI!

"Louis was frightened, he actually went to curry favor with the Roman emperor, who did not have a territory." Charlie put down his wine glass and said to his attendant, "But it doesn't mean anything!" The Poseidon of the East is a madman, why did he provoke Mehmed II at this time? True, his fleet swept across the sea, but could he drive the fleet to land? ”

At this time, the dressed girl came in with a graceful skirt, and the whalebone corset made her already slender waist more and more unbearable, and also made the curve of her breasts extremely attractive, and her voice was crisp, sounding more pure than her slightly pale face: "Father, you promised me to meet Poseidon, and you promised to send a mission to Cairo......"

She is Mary, the daughter of Charlie the Bold, and she is looking forward to Charlie the Great with anticipation.

"I think you'll have to wait, my little angel." In front of his only daughter, Charlie the Bold restrained the strength of the military strongman and showed his father's love, "The situation is a bit complicated now. "Although Duke Charlie has an amazing military talent, and he is not an opponent of Louis XI in playing politics, in any case, he will not let his daughter meet Ding Yi at this time.

But this gave Mary a palpable look of loss: "Oh, God! My father, how can you do this? ”

"You promised me! No, I'm going to see Poseidon, who is more majestic than Caesar, braver than Lionheart! He also has an amazing talent for music, and that's what you agree, doesn't you? She said, humming a tune, which Ding Yi inadvertently plagiarized when he was in Egypt, because Morena liked it, so Ding Yi wrote the lyrics and score of the song, and also wrote the piano score, and Ding shamelessly wrote a piece of "Moonlight Concerto" behind his back and signed his own name - it seemed to make him feel the shame of plagiarism, limited to the Chinese author.

Inadvertently, the manuscript spread to Western Europe, and this allowed him to gild the imagination of an aristocratic girl with a layer of elegant light. Of course, there were no pianos in this era, but the harpsichord was already an important member of the instrument. [This piano has been found in European church reliefs and court paintings of the 13th century in Cembalo]

Charlie the Bold was not only a military strongman, but he also had a great talent for music, and he was even called a musician by later generations.

So for "My Heart Remains", for "Moonlight Concerto", he was also shocked by Ding Yi's talent in music.

Especially when Mary sat down in front of the harpsichord, and the melody of the "Moonlight Concerto" flowed from her fingertips, Charlie the Bold could not hold his line in front of his daughter, and he could only gently persuade: "You must know Marie, Louis XI proposed to Poseidon to be the duelist between Poseidon and Mehmed II. ”

"But, but, since you promised me to go to see him, I have not looked forward to it......" I don't know if it was because of sadness, or the restraint of the whalebone corset, Mary's eyes had tears, and her breathing became a little difficult, and she closed that innocent face, teaching people to watch, all sad.

Charlie shook his head, as if this would throw out the notes and melodies composed by Nadin Yi, and no longer confuse himself: "You are my daughter, Mary, you can't help but think about these things. Do you think that Poseidon, the emperor of the new Roman Empire from the East, has any chance of winning? Besides, don't you know, Louis XI, why did he do this? ”

"Louie wants to catch anything he can in the hope of changing his fate of drowning!"

It is ridiculous to say that in France at this time, the British king owned more land than King Louis XI of France. So Louis XI was in a bad situation, otherwise he would not have been so speculatively involved in the duel between Ding I and Mehmed II.

So Poseidon became Louis's helper, before he was killed by Mehmed II! So, you can't go to see him, kid. ”

But Mary clearly has a different opinion on this issue: "No, my father, Poseidon can also be your reinforcement. Don't forget that his generosity can teach the current female pharaoh to have upper and lower Egypt! ”

"Mehmed II ......" Charlie the Bold shook his head, thinking about how to convince his beloved daughter without making her too sad. Almost all European monarchs thought that Ding Yi had gone crazy, and they all felt that if he could go back to Egypt, it would probably be the best end. Even Louis XI was no exception, and the difference between his perception and that of other monarchs was that he thought that Ding Yi could return to Egypt and keep his invincible fleet.

But Mary didn't think so: "Poseidon will win!" He will be victorious! He will not be defeated! ”

As if worried that she was not convincing enough, she added: "We all think so!" ”

By "we", she refers to the aristocratic lady of the upper class of Western Europe, who is about the only supporter of Ding Yi in Europe.

The way they support them is to pray for Ding Yi. (To be continued......) R1292
