Text Ding Yi¡¯s Struggle (33)

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The solution, to put it bluntly, is very simple, that is, born out of "FireWire Join".  Joining an organization and obtaining a certain certificate may, in peaceful times, be for various ulterior purposes, to facilitate rent-seeking behavior, etc.  But on the front line, on the battlefield, facing artillery fire and applying to join an organization, so as to get the opportunity to charge to death, Ding Yi believes that at least these people, at this time, are pure.  So Ding Yi used the same method: all the people in China who did this came to Smyrna; all the people outside China who did this went to America.  If someone takes the initiative to apply like this, Ding Yi gives them a chance to join the organization: Yulin.  But it was also beyond Ding Yi¡¯s expectation that at least 80% of the students who swore allegiance to Ding Yi, whether they were in China or the West, responded to the call and submitted their applications.  Yulin, this organization that is loyal to the imperial family rather than the court, or in other words, Ding Yi's fundamentalists, was born in the fourth year of Jianyuan. It will accompany the empire through countless twists and turns; they will go from this moment on  The imperial vanguard gradually became a conservative force as the years progressed.  Regarding the influence of the people, Louis XI obviously saw it more clearly than Ding Yi, or in other words, Ding Yi habitually underestimated his influence, and when Louis XI communicated with his cronies in Paris, he had no idea about Ding Yi.  The assessment made by Ichijo is appropriate: To the soldiers and people who follow his banner, he is a god!  ??However, problems have arisen in the development of republican organizations.  Because exporting revolution requires money, even though the European and Western Ming Dynasty, which had begun to have a foundation for industrialization, was dumping money abroad like crazy.  And Ding Yi also made a lot of profits from it.  But he has many disabled soldiers to take care of, and there are martyrs to care for.  He doesn't have much money anymore.  As for the national treasury, Finance Minister Yang Ding has repeatedly said: "War dividends can relieve temporary difficulties. They should not be treated as permanent water!" Ding Yi was preparing to cut the expenditure of some republican organizations, but this plan was opposed by Wang Yue  Views.  Wang Yue, who was leading the Sixth Division to purge Asia Minor, submitted reports three times, and then expressed his hope to discuss this issue with Ding Yi in person.  Obviously, in his opinion, this issue is more important than what he is doing.  And Ding has always valued Wang Yue very much.  He agreed to his request and gave him an opportunity for an interview.  "Bayezid is definitely not simple!" Wang Yue saw Ding Yi and after saluting, he answered the question on the spot, "My disciple believes that the Ottoman republican organization should not be reduced, but should be vigorously supported!  Even if military expenditures are reduced, this expenditure must not be omitted!" He said it was not simple.  Of course it's not just talk: "Sir, please take a look." Wang Yue pointed to the military map and reported to Ding Yi the problems he encountered in sweeping Asia Minor, "Sir, after Bayezid was released, there were more than 500,000 people with him.  Our army faced off. At that time, we used the tactics of breaking through the center and enveloping them from all sides, and then defeated all 80,000 of them. Then Bayezid returned to Constantine with the prisoners, and his cronies came with orders.  . As a result, our army was victorious, but still unable to achieve complete victory!" Wang Yue was very cautious.  Pointing to the marching route on the map: "In the following seven battles, the Ottomans were defeated, and then they retreated instead of retreating! Bayezid was so handsome that he deserved it! There are absolutely no false soldiers under his disciples!"  Retreating is two different things. Retreating means retaining the organization and strength, and retreating to the west of Constantine, rather than being directly defeated.  For the Ottomans, although they were defeated, even though they had an army of 500,000, they were basically veterans who had seen blood in battle. They faced Wang Yue's 50,000 soldiers, and apart from sergeants and officers, they were basically new soldiers.  It sounds like a waste. Veterans versus new recruits, still fighting ten to one, or fighting for the city. In this way, every battle will be defeated. What is this other than 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, the commander-in-chief who was originally a famous historical general, and Ding Yi even took out a pocket watch, although it was a bit reluctant to put it in his arms, it was as big as a palm.  But if you can time it, you can carry out tactics such as encirclement by multiple troops, coordinated attacks, etc. Even if there are five new divisions, and even if the artillery and machine guns are relatively weak, Wang Yue's battle losses at this time will be minimal.  Under such an attack, Bayezid is indeed very capable in allowing half a million troops to be broken through from the center and surrounded on all sides, and to maintain retreat instead of retreating.  "I agree with your proposal." Ding Yi nodded after going through Wang Yue's battle report again.  In fact, he himself believed that Bayezid was a talented person, otherwise he would not have thrown him back: "A mediocre person cannot serve as a good whip of God. But a talented monarch, indeed we should be in his country  Here, send more observers."After Yue happily retired, Ding Yi smiled bitterly and said to himself: "It seems that the guys who can leave their names in history have their talents." Du Ziteng didn't have Wang Yue's vision.  Ding Junyue didn't either.  "Well, over the years, San'er and Yang Weizhen have finally taught two good students, and I have gained nothing. And as the students in the academy grow up, more and more talents will appear.  Well, it will appear. "Privately, he does not regard Wang Yue, Liu Ji, and Wan An as talents he has cultivated. At most, they are graduate students from him. Seriously speaking, this is Huaxia.  The elites came out of the old-style scholar-bureaucrat education.  In fact, Ding Yi didn't know that Yang Shousui was also a minister of the Ming Dynasty in the original history, and he could still stand out even if he didn't enter the academy.  The real Ben is unknown in history, but there are only one and a half who were trained by Ding, one is Chen San, and the other half is Du Ziteng.  But it is true as he said, the college is providing more and more graduates every day, and they are pouring into various positions. There will definitely be more and more talents.  Moreover, in addition to the advancement of industrialization, it will become increasingly difficult for old-style scholar-officials to enter professional positions, while graduates from academies will have an increasing advantage.  "Sir!" Liu Ji came in a hurry, with a happy face, "Granada has been leveled!" Four thousand veterans, a veteran brigade equipped with machine guns and mortars, and the nobles of Caslar occupying and guarding behind.  There are no problems with logistics support, and there are really no surprises, at least for Ding Yi: "Well, what are the casualties?" What he is concerned about is this issue.  "Seventeen people were killed, 25 people died of serious injuries, and 386 people were slightly injured. The report from the medical unit is that normally, they will all recover and return to work in three months." Liu Ji has long been familiar with Ding Yi.  Temperament, he was ready for whatever he would ask after listening to the battle report.  Forty-two people sacrificed to conquer a country.  This is the strength of the Ming Dynasty in the West at this time, which is probably similar to the war between Britain and the Jianqi hundreds of years later in history.  Great powers?  Yes, the Western Ming Dynasty and the Chinese Ming Dynasty are the great powers of this era.  What Liu Ji reported overjoyed was another thing: "Sir, in addition to the trophies distributed proportionally to the soldiers, it is estimated that more than 1.9 million taels of silver were seized!" War dividends are always the fastest.  Convenient way to profit.  Ding nodded, which slightly eased the deficit of his private fund.  Most of the veterans of this brigade did not return to China.  Wang Yue wanted to leave one regiment because he had secured two new formations. The veterans of one regiment were enough for him to build two new divisions; while the other regiment was taken over by Chen San in America.  .  There were also some veterans who were willing to stay in Smyrna and were assigned to Ding Yi's guard unit.  What followed was Isabella¡¯s wedding in Smyrna, and envoys from various countries were sent to attend the ceremony.  As for the envoys from Castile, Ding Yi said one thing to them: "My knight, her loyalty to me is worthy of me giving her Granada. This is the medal she deserves. And a few days later  , I will hand her over to her husband at the wedding as her father. If she asks me to help her find a lost pearl, I don¡¯t think I will refuse. " Pearl?  The envoy from Castile is not an idiot, Granada is a medal, so what are pearls?  Isn¡¯t it Castile?  So the envoy was very angry. Ding Yi was blatantly interfering in the succession of the throne of a country and threatening war!  The envoy could only smile bitterly and salute and retire, because he had no choice but to do so. Ding Yi was indeed qualified to issue such a threat, not because of reason or justice, but because of the range of the Ming Dynasty's cannons!  This was a very sensational wedding. Because Liu Yiyi and Tianrandai had difficulty moving due to pregnancy and religious issues, they did not attend the church. Sofia was said to be sick, so Princess Anna became Ding Yi's daughter.  He attended Isabella's wedding and the accompanying banquet.  This was Anna¡¯s first appearance as Ding Yi¡¯s female companion in front of dignitaries from various countries. It was obvious that Louis XI acquiesced in this matter. At least the French envoy did not leave the meeting angrily, but stepped forward to salute his princess.  This makes Ding Yi very happy.  But in the middle of the banquet, Sofia sent someone to invite Princess Anna over, saying that she wanted to consult some questions about lady etiquette.  Obviously, Nishinomiya Empress, who had received the news of Princess Anna's attendance, was showing her presence.  Ding Yi, who drank happily because he was happy, woke up the next day not only with a splitting headache, but also with red dots on the sheets. For Ding Yi, who has several wives, he can certainly tell the difference between heaven and earth.  The difference between Kwai and Luohong.  This made him nervous: "Old Cao! Come here!"As Cao Jixiang came over, Ding Yi lowered his voice and asked, "Anna?" "No, Your Majesty." (To be continued)
