Chapter 5 King's Landing (1)
The Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty, the Sitianjian, Zongrenfu and other relevant officials quoted the scriptures and formulated auspicious day of the zodiac, which was noon on the second day of the fifth month of the first year of Chenghua.
It is said that the most auspicious time to perform the ceremony at this time, so on this day, the prelude of the second marriage of Ding Yi, the Prince of Jinghai, finally opened, and the entire capital was in trouble.
First of all, Liu Ji and Li Dongyang represent Ding Yi, before noon, came to the main hall respectfully and listened to Yao Kui, the Minister of Rites, announced the acceptance of the ceremony. Liu Ji and Li Dongyang took the ceremony and expressed their orders, and received it by Chen.
The golden sword given by the third generation - the golden sword given to Ding Yi by Emperor Yingzong, led the guard of honor and Nacai to Jinyu Hutong and headed to Donghuamen.
Because Sofia was the princess of the Great Qin, Zhu Jianshen cleaned up Nangong and provided her with her to live there.
"It's so troublesome!" Ding Yi sat in the mansion, feeling a headache.
This is a program proposed by the Ministry of Rites. It is said that it is inherited by the thousand-year-old ancient country. How can it be a joke? There must be a ceremony and a celebration!
Liu Yiyi leaned beside Ding Yi and whispered: "I have a noble birth, and even if the country has disappeared, it can still bring the inheritance of this ancient country to my husband. Of course, it is important to pay attention to it. How can I be like a concubine? Merchants
My daughter is always unaware of the situation and is born ugly. She dared to teach her husband to become a laughing stock in the mouth of others."
Ding Yi gently stroked her hair and smiled, "Is it jealous? It's still time."
"What's the time?" Liu Yiyi asked in confusion. After all, she was not like Zhang Yu, and she could have a good relationship with Ding Yixin.
"If you are jealous, now I will stop the marriage."
Liu Yiyi listened and smiled sadly, "Although my husband is making me happy, he is also happy."
"I'm not trying to make you happy. It's just a crown. The one I'm most sorry for is you. If you open your mouth, I will nod."
Listening to his words of cutting the nails, Liu Yiyi's tears came down, but she shook her head with a smile in her tears and said, "If you have this kind of heart, I will be content. How dare you be jealous?"
Ding Yi hugged her gently, and had to sigh that the women of this era were really easy to get along with and tolerant. He didn't believe it at all. Liu Yiyi would not eat any jealousy, but just the education she received since childhood.
She just maintained a kind of restraint.
At this time, Liu Ji and Li Dongyang had entered the Nangong. Sofia followed several servants here from Constantine and knelt on his knees to receive Liu and Li as the messenger of Ding Yi. Then he accepted the various gifts sent.
In addition to a pair of geese who show their husbands and follow the yin and yang, there are also 100 pieces of satin, 200 pieces of cotton, gold and silver tea barrels, etc., and other gold and silver jewelry, which are all in accordance with etiquette.
Prepared together.
This matter was handled by Liu Yiyi, who was in charge of the huge commercial network. Naturally, it is a very small business practice.
Sofia's servants had long been told that these gifts would be used as Sofia's own private property in the future.
But they didn't expect that it was so generous, and a servant fainted on the spot because it was too far beyond their imagination. In this era, if it was more rich than that of Liu Yiyi, I am afraid that the Queen of the Ming Dynasty would not be as good as Liu Yiyi;
To compare the money you can use in your hands? That can only be compared with the national treasury.
Such a gift of admiration is really nothing to Liu Yiyi.
That night, the grand Nacai banquet was held in Nangong. The main people who came were Empress Dowager Qian and her wife, because Sofia had no relatives and friends in China, and it was not convenient for men to enter the palace, so the
The Ministry of Rites decided the constitution, and Empress Dowager Qian brought her wife to the joy of her mother's family.
As Ding Junyue, as Ding Yi's representative, hosted the banquet because Liu Ji and Li Dongyang were at night. Unless they were willing to castrate themselves, it would be inconvenient for those who lived in the palace. Ding Junyue could only hold it.
"My father, fortunately, I'm not disgraced." Ding Junyue, with a smell of alcohol, sat down from the palace walls, returned to the Prince's Mansion of Jinghai County, and reported to Ding Yi.
Ding Yixiao said, "Let's rest here tonight. Go back to your yard, someone has been walking there all night."
But it was Ding Junyue's husband, who was called by Ding Yi and waited for his wife to not return for a long time, and he was quite anxious.
She was Ding Yi, who saw that she grew up, didn't feel embarrassed and said with a smile: "Then the kid goes down first."
Li Dongyang looked at Ding Junyue and smiled and said to Ding Yi: "Father, according to the regulations of the Ministry of Rites, the next day is the auspicious day for the ceremonies, and it is still set at noon. However, the Ministry of Rites said that it is necessary to change the envoy.
I can't help but let my son and Youzhi do it, so that I can show my deep roots and lush branches! I wonder who my father wants?"
"You decide for yourself. Besides your Saner Senior Brother, Youzhi Senior Brother and Lao Cao, you will be planning a candidate." Ding Yi obviously had no intention of entangling this, and he was a little annoyed.
This matter was made into a big drama by the Ministry of Rites, Si Tianjian and Zongren Mansion.
Today is Nacai, and the next day is Nacai. This is a pre-marriage ceremony. Nacai means that the marriage between the man and the woman has been completed, and the man needs to give the woman a large amount of property in the family as financial compensation.
Then there will be a marriage ceremony, which is divided into the supreme, the enthronement, the unity, and the sacrifice to the gods.
Ascend to the extreme, because the marriage was completed, Ding Yi inherited the inheritance of the Roman Empire and was about to be called emperor. Then he was called emperor. Sorry, 99% of the Ministry of Rites are chauvinists of great powers, and they will not refer to the Roman Empire.
Customs: If you call yourself emperor, you must enthrone the harem and civil and military officials of the Roman Empire according to the Chinese customs.
Ding Yi expressed his objection to this, but the Ministry of Rites insisted on doing this. Yao even said: "With an emperor but no queen, and a king but no minister, isn't it like a monkey and a crown?"
So Ding Yi had no choice but to obey it.
After these series of rituals are completed, Ding Yifang will be able to join the bridal chamber and even go to worship the gods the next day.
Even there is a huge set of extremely tedious wedding gifts. Ding Yi really thought it was terrible, so he threw it to Li Dongyang to take care of it.
"Youzhi, how is the railway in Tianjin going? If it doesn't work, you will take the guards to Tianjin to supervise the wedding tomorrow. What kind of wedding is insignificant, let Dongyang go to trouble." Ding Yi didn't have any
Covering and pointing out the problem directly, "Whenever there is any problem with this wedding, the people from the Ministry of Rites can always make a roundabout way; if there is a problem with the railway, it will be a big trouble!"
Liu Ji took over the railway for more than ten days and cherished this opportunity very much. Tianjin alone rode a horse to inspect several times. When Ding Yi mentioned the railway affairs, Liu Ji was obviously confident: "When Mr., Tianjin
There are three reports a day, no surprises, and the project progress is quite smooth; according to the progress of the project at the capital, it seems that the construction requirements for the foundation floor are quite strict, so there should be no further progress in the future.
Big problem.”
Ding Yi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: "San'er, how is the progress of the insurgent and cannon coordination?"
"Not good." Chen San is not as good as Liu Ji. He reported good news but not bad news. As soon as he spoke, he was a problem and difficulty. "The training in Dafangshan, the disciples have personally visited today, and the coordinated tactics of the class and platoon are implemented.
Very good, grenade launchers, machine guns, grenades and rifle groups assaulted, and they were well embedded; but when they reached the company level and joined the mortar group, it was a big problem, and soldiers were basically unlikely to cooperate with artillery fire.
Advance; the three experimental body-barrel cannons are powerful and have better offense than mortars, but in the same way, it is still difficult for infantry to coordinate with artillery fire; at the regiment level, it is completely messy, in today's exercise
If the artillery fire was not used in coordination, it was empty shells, conservatively estimated that at least one entire company of personnel would be destroyed due to friendly artillery fire."
Ding Yi nodded as he heard this, and was not surprised by it.
Infantry and artillery coordination is not a simple matter. In history, in the Republic of China, many troops could not complete coordinated operations well. The problem Chen San mentioned was also very close to the point, that is, the cooperation of squads and platoons tacticals, basically
There is no problem; when you arrive at the company camp, chaos begins; when you arrive at the regiment level, it will be completely messy.
Why?
Because Ding himself is a soldier king, not a professional military officer!
As the platoon tactics, he is of course very skillful as a soldier king, so no matter which details, as long as there is a problem, how to train and correct it, he just said it, and there is no problem at all.
But when he reached the level of the company battalion, he had never been in the position of commander in his previous life. Based on his own understanding and insight, he would probably infer that it would be natural that it would be inaccurate. There were problems with the command system. He had some problems with the command system.
It cannot be solved, so I can only explore. There are two problems in this. One is that Ding Yi can no longer lead the first battalion and the first company to fight on the battlefield, so it is difficult to experience and feel the problem in actual combat.
The crux of the problem is; one is that the Ming New Army, especially the First, Second, Third, Fourth Divisions and the Land War Brigade, worshipped him to a level of blindness, so some Ding Yi thought about it wrong, and there were very few below.
Some people dare to take the initiative to propose and correct it.
"Don't worry about the first-level synthesis of regiments first, and make the coordination of battalion and company level first."
"Don't stick to the tactics I proposed. I have been away from grassroots troops for a long time. You and the staff members must dare to try and formulate tactics that are suitable for current firepower."
Chen San breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this and said with a smile: "I'm not hiding it with sir, I have this plan. I just want to make it happen and ask the sir to correct it."
"Very good!" Ding Yi was very happy when he heard this, and signaled Chen Sanzi to do his own business. "No need to set rules here. You have a lot of things. Do what you should do now!"
After everyone stepped back, Ding Yi's face became gloomy and he said to Cao Jixiang: "How was it done?"
Cao Jixiang is now old. Listening to Ding Yi's question, he took out a small notebook, which was filled with marks that only he could understand. He looked at it and said, "Come on the old slave, I'll check it now.
, This matter does not involve the relationship between the British Duke. At most, the British Duke is just unexplained and the governor is not strict."
"The movements in the palace did not stop. The old slave collected the tips from the Tiandihui Society, as if the emperor was preparing to build the Xijishi Factory!"
"The admiral of the official school in the West Factory is a young eunuch in his teens!" (To be continued...)
