The solution, to put it bluntly, is very simple, that is, it was born out of "joining in the line of fire". Joining a certain organization and obtaining some kind of credentials, in peacetime, may be due to various ulterior motives, for the convenience of rent-seeking behavior, and so on. But in the line of fire, on the battlefield, in the face of artillery fire and applying to join a certain organization, so as to get the opportunity to charge to the death, Ding Yi believes that at least these people, at this time, they are pure.

So Ding Yi used the same method: all the people who did this in Huaxia came to Smyrna; People who do this outside of China all go to the Americas. If someone who took the initiative to apply like this, Ding Yi gave them a chance to join the organization: Yulin.

But to Ding Yi's surprise, almost all of those students who swore allegiance to Ding Yi, whether in China or the West, at least more than eighty percent, responded to the call and submitted applications. Yulin, an organization loyal to the royal family rather than to the imperial court, or rather, a fundamentalist of Ding Yi, was born from the fourth year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, and will accompany the empire through countless twists and turns; From the imperial vanguard at this time, they gradually became a conservative force as the years progressed.

Louis XI obviously saw the influence of the people more clearly than Ding Yi, or rather, Ding Yi habitually underestimated his own influence, and when Louis XI communicated with his cronies in Paris, it was appropriate to evaluate Ding Yi's subordinates: to the soldiers and the people who followed his banner, he was a god!

However, in the development of the republican organization, problems arose.

Because the export revolution needs money, although the Taixi Daming, who began to have a foundation in industrialization, frantically dumped outward. And Ding Yi also got a lot of profits from it. But he wanted many disabled soldiers to take care of, and martyrs to pay for. He didn't have much money left. As for the national treasury, Finance Minister Yang Ding has repeatedly proposed: "War dividends can solve temporary difficulties." It should not be the water that is always there! ”

Ding Yi was ready to cut the expenses of some republican organizations, but Wang Yue objected to this plan.

Wang Yue, who was leading the six divisions to purge Asia Minor, submitted reports three times, and then expressed the hope of discussing this issue with Ding Yi in person. Obviously, in his opinion, this aspect of the problem is more important than what he is doing.

And Ding Yi has always attached great importance to Wang Yue. I agreed to his request and gave him the opportunity to meet in person.

"Bayezet is definitely not easy!" Wang Yue saw Ding Yi, and after saluting, he pointed out the question on the spot, "The disciple thinks that the Ottoman republican organization should not only not be reduced, but should be vigorously supported!" Even if you cut military spending, you must not miss this expenditure! ”

He said it wasn't easy. Of course, it's not just talking: "Sir, please see." Wang Yue pointed to the military map and reported to Ding Yi the problems he had encountered in the sweep of Asia Minor, "After Mr. Bayezet was released, more than 500,000 people confronted our army. At that time, our side broke through from the center and copied the tactics of many sides, and had completely defeated its 80,000 people. Bayezid then returned to Constantine. Confessed by captives, and their cronies came with orders. As a result, our army won a great victory, but still could not achieve a complete victory! ”

Wang Yue was very cautious. Pointing to the route of the march on the map: "In the next seven battles, the Ottomans were defeated, and then they retreated instead of retreating!" Bayezet is a handsome talent, and it deserves it! Under the sir, there is no void! "Retreat and retreat are two different things, retreat is to preserve the establishment, to retain the living forces, to withdraw to the west of Constantine, not to directly confiscate.

For the Ottomans, although it was a defeat, although it was an army of 500,000, they were basically veterans who had seen blood in battle, and the 50,000 people of Wang Yue, and in addition to the non-commissioned officers and officers, they were basically new soldiers. It sounds like a very wasteful feeling, veterans vs. recruits, or ten against one, or fighting according to the city, so that they are defeated in every battle, what is not waste?

But those five divisions, if you don't mention the equipment of artillery and machine guns, are basically modern infantry.

And it was under the command of Wang Yue, a commander who was originally a famous historical general, and Ding Yi also made a pocket watch - although it was a little reluctant to put it in his arms, it was a big palm. But it can be timed, and it can carry out tactics such as multiple troops encirclement, coordinated attacks, etc., even if the recruits of the five divisions, even if the artillery and machine guns are relatively weak, Wang Yue's battle damage at this time is extremely small.

Under such an attack, Bayezet is indeed very good at allowing 500,000 troops to break through in the middle and encircle on many sides, and maintain retreat instead of rout.

"I agree with your proposal." Ding Yi nodded after revisiting Wang Yue's battle report.

In fact, he himself thought that Bayezet was a talent, otherwise he would not have thrown him back: "A mediocre man cannot serve as a good whip of God." But for a talented monarch, it is true that we should send more observers in his country. ”

And when Wang Yue stepped back happily, Ding Yi said to himself with a wry smile with some emotion: "It seems that the guys who can leave a name in history have their talents." "Wang Yue has such a vision, Du Ziteng just doesn't have it, and Ding Junyue doesn't have it." Well, but over the years, San'er, Yang Weizhen, has finally taught two good students, and I haven't gained nothing. And after the students of the academy grow up, more and more talents will appear, well, will appear. ”

In private, he didn't regard Wang Yue, Liu Ji, and Wan An as talents cultivated by himself, and at most he studied for graduate school. In fact, Ding Yi didn't know that Yang Shousui was also a minister of the Ming Dynasty in the original history, and he was a figure who could stand out if he didn't enter the academy. It is really said that Ben is unknown in history, and it was cultivated by someone Ding, and there are only one and a half, one is Chen San, and half is Du Ziteng.

However, it is true that as he said, the college provides more and more graduates every day, and they will flock to various positions, and there will be more and more talents. Moreover, in addition to the improvement of industrialization, it will be more and more difficult for old-style scholars to enter professional positions, while college graduates will have an increasing advantage.

"Sir!" Liu Ji came in a hurry, with a happy face, "Granada is flat!" ”

Four thousand veterans, a veteran brigade equipped with machine guns and mortars, and the nobles of Kaslar are doing the occupation and garrison in the back, and there is no problem with logistics support, and there are really no surprises, at least for Ding Yi: "Well, what about the casualties?" "That's what he's concerned about.

"Seventeen people were killed, 25 were seriously wounded, and 386 were slightly injured. Liu Ji has long been familiar with Ding Yi's temperament, and he is ready to listen to what the battle report will ask.

The sacrifice of forty-two people, the conquest of a nation.

This is the strength of Taixi Daming at this time, which is about the war between Britain and Jianyu hundreds of years later.

Powers? Yes, Taixi Daming and Huaxia Daming are the great powers of this era.

And Liu Ji was overjoyed to report another thing: "Sir, in addition to the spoils of war distributed to the soldiers proportionally, the seizure is estimated to be more than 1.9 million taels of silver!" "War dividends are always the quickest and most convenient way to make profits.

Ding nodded, which made the deficit of his private fund a little easier.

Most of the veterans of this brigade did not return to China. Wang Yue wanted to leave a regiment, because he had won two new formations, and a regiment veteran, which was enough for him to set up two new divisions; The other regiment was asked to go by Chen San in the Americas. There were also some veterans who were willing to stay in Smyrna and were assigned to Ding Yi's guard.

This was followed by Isabella's wedding in Smyrna, and envoys from all countries were sent to attend.

And to the messengers of Castile, Ding Yi said to them: "My knight, loyal to me, is worthy of me to bestow Granada on her, this is the medal she deserves." And in a few days, I will hand her over to her husband at the wedding as her father, and if she asks me to help her find a lost pearl, I don't think I will refuse. ”

Pearl? The messenger of Castile is not a fool, Granada is a medal, what is a pearl? Isn't it Castile! So the envoy was very angry, a country, Ding Yi was blatantly interfering in a country's succession to the throne, and it was a threat of war!

And the messenger could only salute with a wry smile, because he was helpless, Ding Yi did have the qualifications to issue such a threat, not because of reason, not because of justice, but because of the range of Taixi Daming's cannon!

This was a very sensational wedding, because Liu Yiyi and Tianyuan were unable to move because they were pregnant, and there was also a problem of faith, so they did not attend the church, and Sofia was said to be sick, so Princess Anna became Ding Yi's female companion and attended Isabella's wedding and the accompanying banquet.

This was the first time that Anna had appeared in front of dignitaries as Ding Yi's female companion, and it was clear that Louis XI had acquiesced in the matter, at least the French envoy did not leave the table angrily, but came forward to salute his princess. This made Ding Yi very happy. Halfway through the feast, however, Sofia sent Princess Anna to ask some questions about ladylike etiquette. Obviously, Nishinomiya Niangniang, who got the news of Princess Anna's attendance, is showing her sense of existence.

Ding Yi, who drank happily because of his happiness, woke up on the second day, not only harvested a splitting headache, but also had residual red dots on the sheets. This made him nervous: "Old Cao! Get out of here! Seeing Cao Jixiang coming over, Ding Yi lowered his voice and asked, "Anna?" ”

"No, Your Majesty." (To be continued......)
