    No one told Ding Yi about this matter, and Ding Yi never mentioned it again.  Novel Chinese iqi. Perhaps it is not necessarily because there is a dark side in his heart, but that he received an invitation amidst the tedious affairs, an invitation from Castile to Isabella's wedding.  .  She hopes that Ding Yi can attend her wedding and, as a father, replace her deceased father and bless her.  Ding Yi happily accepted the invitation and asked Liu Ji to arrange the matter into the itinerary.  This is a knight's demonstration of loyalty to the emperor, and a minister's obedience to the monarch. Even Chinese scholar-officials such as Yu Qian and Yang Ding were in favor of Ding Yi's itinerary.  As the Prime Minister of the Western Ming Dynasty, Yu Qian even proposed that the Ministry of Finance allocate a sum of money as Ding Yi's reward to Isabella, as well as the cost of the trip. Of course, what Yu Qian and the others hope is that the wedding  It should have been held in Smyrna instead of running to Castile.  Isabella readily accepted Smyrna¡¯s proposal. She and her groom Ferdinand, King of Aragon, both accepted the proposal of the Ming Dynasty.  This made Yu Qian and his ministers, especially Yu Qian, Yao Kui, Yang Ding, Yang Shan, and officials from China, these old-style scholar-bureaucrats almost crazy with excitement.  They think this is the wedding of the kings of the two countries, the wedding of the kings of the two countries, placed in the capital of the Ming Dynasty in the west, and in order to get Ding Yi's blessing!  To put it bluntly, this is the old-style scholar-officials of the Western Ming Dynasty who collectively reached a spiritual climax, and this excitement spread to China with the passing fleets. The scholar-officials of the Ming Dynasty in China were extremely excited. That is another story.  .  Speaking only of Isabella¡¯s wedding, Ding Yi was very happy.  It¡¯s not just that she hopes to get Ding Yi¡¯s blessing, it¡¯s not just that she hopes that Ding Yi will give her hand to the groom like her father.  More importantly, she did not refuse to marry like Mary of Burgundy, but insisted on staying by Ding Yi's side.  Although Ding Yi is not a narcissistic person.  But he also suspected that Isabella had some kind of affection for him.  So he was a little scared. The thought of waking up to take control of the world and lying drunk on the lap of a beautiful woman was not something Ding Yi had never thought about.  But he is really not a stallion-like figure.  In other words, when there is no shortage of women on the material level, Ding Yi's pursuit has already reached the spiritual level.  He needs a partner who can communicate and understand each other.  Like Zhang Yu who passed away, like Anna now.  In order to keep Anna by his side, he even acquiesced to Qian Chujiu's plan to start a revolution that would spread across the continent!  Therefore, he was a little worried about Isabella: "To be honest, I would rather spend my own money to recruit a volunteer army to help her conquer Castile, if there is a problem with her succession to the throne!" Ding Yi once said  Huang Xiaoyang, the admiral of the Mediterranean Fleet, said this, "I just hope that there will never be another Mary of Burgundy. That would be terrible!" Because for Mary.  Not only Ding Yi, but also Liu Yiyi had a headache, and the little loli didn't do anything wrong. You can't say that it's wrong to be loyal, right?  So after confirming that Isabella was going to get married and come to Smyrna to hold the wedding in a year, Ding Yi did one thing. He issued a recruitment order.  Retired veterans in Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunyuan and the grasslands under the jurisdiction of the Anxi Metropolitan Governor's Office have all received recruitment orders: "I need you, not for the world. Not for the people, just because of my personal reasons, I need to fight a war."  There may be no pension, and there is no pension for military martyrs, and I can only pay double the military salary. If you are willing, please report to the garrison office of the Sihai Metropolitan Governor's Palace or the Anxi Metropolitan Governor's Palace, and they will send you to me.  In front of me." To Ding Yi's surprise, he planned to recruit only one battalion, which was about 400 people, but in fact it was the first batch of veterans to report to Smyrna.  There were four thousand people.  At least more than a thousand of them applied for retirement from the Ming army or became deserters after receiving the call, and then responded to the call.  "Sir, here is the statement from the Governor's Office of the Four Seas. The Tianjin Garrison Office has detained 3,000 men from the grassland; Guangzhou Prefecture has more than 2,000 veterans waiting to be transported. Moreover, the disabled veterans have been persuaded to go back  Otherwise, there will be more. Somehow, people in Zhejiang also heard about the call-up order, and many good men came to the garrison to sign up. There were even more militiamen signed up in Guangdong and Guangxi, and there was no problem in forming two divisions.  Those who bite their fingers and write in blood" Ding Yi could only stroke his beard in embarrassment and said: "Well, you go to your master's wife and ask her to lend me another five hundred thousand taels, of which three hundred thousand taels will be sent to the Governor's Mansion of the Four Seas.  Go and ask Yang Weizhen to distribute it to the veterans and the men of the Duyin tribe in Tianjin, and then persuade them to go back and say that there are enough people. As for the other good people who signed up, let Yang Weizhen handle it properly. " " The four thousand veterans have to deal with Ding Yi.  thing is absolutely enough.  Especially when equipped with new rifles, machine guns, and mortarsWith only half a month of joint training, the 4,000 veterans had basically set up the structure of a brigade.  And Ding Yi's goal is very clear: "There is a girl who regards me as a father. I need to give her a gift at her wedding. This is completely my private matter. If any of you want to withdraw now, he  I will receive a reward as my gratitude for responding to the call, and then I will send you back to China on a ship. Because this matter is really my selfish desire." "I am willing to die for you, sir!" These are the veterans, so proud.  Heshan's answer.  Ding Yi shrugged, he felt this was a bit dangerous.  This was an extremely blind personal allegiance, but he soon felt relieved. Maybe after this battle, the army would be disbanded, and then the problem should be solved, right?  He decided not to think too much: "Granada, this is the gift I want to give to that girl." Granada is the last country on the Iberian Peninsula with a big food culture.  It only needs to be conquered, not occupied. The nobles of Castile who support Isabella will follow behind to complete the occupation and defense matters. A brigade is simply killing a chicken with a knife, which is why Ding Yi planned  A battalion of troops is required.  Therefore, Ding Yi did not think that this expedition would cause any trouble.  But what he didn¡¯t know was that the day the volunteers set off for the expedition was also the day when Isabella¡¯s envoy arrived in Smyrna.  That night, Isabella's envoy secretly met with Cao Jixiang in Smyrna and made a request directly: "This is a request from the Trident Knights of Poseidon, the leader of the group, Your Excellency Isabella." "  Just tell me, if you can agree, we won't beat around the bush; if you can't agree, we will pretend you haven't heard of it." Cao Jixiang stood in the darkness and said in a low voice.  So the messenger quickly said what he wanted to request: "If Ferdinand did not die as unfortunately as King Henry VI of England, then maybe he should become like you to maintain respect for His Majesty." The messenger repeated  twice until Cao Jixiang expressed his understanding.  Like Cao Jixiang, he is an eunuch.  "Our family will consider this proposal." Cao Jixiang laughed and waved the messenger to retreat.  But the envoy did not retreat. He called his companions who were on the mission with him, and then said to them: "I have completed my mission." He then said to Cao Jixiang, "In this world, so far, there are only  Three people know about this. "Three people refer to the messenger, Isabella, and Cao Jixiang.  "There are only two people now." The messenger said, and then nodded to his companion. His companion pulled out a dagger and slit the messenger's throat.  Cao Jixiang finally became serious and said to the man who had just killed his companion: "Go back and tell your master, our family agrees on this matter." The night sky in Smyrna was as black as velvet, with stars dotted on it, unable to illuminate.  This black sky.  The night sky in Paris is also as dark as velvet, but for Stone, who is holding his knees and looking up at the sky, the stars dotted in the sky are bright and brilliant, so dazzling, so gorgeous.  ¡®Stone, what¡¯s so good about looking at stars all day long?  'The old woman asked her son. The young man came back to his senses and said to his mother: "My mother, call me Shitou. Yes, this is my Chinese name. I like it."  "Chinese name? That's a good thing, but such a modern thing can only be owned by nobles, my child." Shitou held his mother's hand full of cracks, which was as rough as his: "  No, Mom, I can have it." He didn't tell his mother that this was the name given to him by the regional leader of the Republican organization, and that he owned it because tonight he would be a member of the first echelon of the Paris General Attack: "Mom.  , I will make you live a good life, yes, I will, you don't have to worry about bread anymore, maybe we can also put a cup of tea on the table, tea from China." Shi Shi's tone was a little urgent.  He almost couldn't help but speak out, but the strict discipline allowed him to control himself.  "Stone, my child, your mouth is so sweet, just like your damn father Yes, when he was alive, he could always make people happy Chinese tea, that is good stuff Chinese tea  Everything is very good. I think the moon there may be more beautiful than the moon above us" She gradually became tired and dozed off.  Shi Shi gently pulled out his hand and helped his mother tuck in the quilt. Then he walked to the corner and dug hard until he took out a long object wrapped tightly in rags.  He glanced at his mother, then walked to the dilapidated house with the conditions under his arm.    "Hey, Stone!" His brother stopped him, "Do you have to go?" "What do you say?" Shitou cursed, and then said to his brother, "Take care of mom." Then he  She left without looking back. The old woman in the dilapidated house had a drop of tear seeping out and swimming in the overlapping folds. It had dried before it even dripped.  (To be continued.)
