Ding Yi's Struggle (4)

For Ding Yi who arrived in Crete, he had no time to pay attention to the anger of the Venetians. Because Yao Kui came to find Ding Yikai and squirted again, this time he also squirted together with Liu Ji and Xu Bin, who had retired and returned to China: "Will Your Majesty conquer this entire territory of Asia Minor? In the capital back then, didn't Your Majesty say that there were many pears that could be picked?"

"Why should we set up the capital in Smyrna? Even if we take back Egypt and set up the capital in Cairo, it would be much more reasonable than establishing the capital in Smyrna!" Then Yao Kui criticized Liu Ji as a villain, saying that he was willing to serve his relatives and trapped Ding Yi for injustice; and then criticized Xu Bin, "Mr. Yanghao is greedy for power and position, and is too old to take matters, and he is unwilling to ask for it. He insists on relying on the capital to return before he can return. It is really shameless!"

Because Yao Kui believed that Xu Bin was responsible for this matter: "He was the consul, and Mr. Jie'an was specialized in the canal yamen. Mr. Yanghao was like the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty. This matter should be advised to death! The Ming Dynasty used the emperor to guard the country's gates because of the deep connection of the continent, and Smyrna was trapped in the enemy's country. It was really outrageous!"

Ding Yi had no choice but to appease him, saying that he had delayed his arrival in Smyrna, and Yu Qian also went from Egypt to discuss with him.

Yao Kui was originally in the Ming Dynasty and had no such a big temper. One is that there were still many civil officials who could govern the world. Think about how many emperors were, some went to war, some did not attend court, and some did carpenters. They all took about two hundred years to perish, and they were still on the Little Ice Age. It can be seen that there are still % of civil officials who govern the world. The other is that the Ming Dynasty had its own structure, which may not be ideal, but it could still be modified, and it was based on such a national bureaucratic system.

There is no such thing here. Following Liu Ji's group of staff and clerks, they are basically the role of military counselors; then when Yao Kui came to the west, they called for seventy or eighty low-level officials, who were not successful in the capital, or those who wanted to do some careers, such as editors, and there were also hundreds of clerks who were awarded the imperial examination and could not become a scholar, but had no hope of being in the right path. They thought they had been to Ximing to get a job, but they would not be able to become officials in the Ming Dynasty.

It doesn't sound much, but if you continue to calculate this, there will be nearly 200 people.

But there are so many things to do, these two hundred people are not enough at all! Yao Kui is so busy every day. Not only is there no one, but he has no foundation.

Shuang Wuxian, it’s no wonder he went wild.

So Ding Yi could only comfort him with kind words and comfort him.

When Yao Kui finally calmed down his anger and resigned, Ding Yi-Ji called Liu Ji:

"A messenger from Jem, you will meet him and send someone to Constantinople and tell him that our support for him is to deal with him based on his power in the Ottoman Empire. Of course, Bayeset is my student, so he will definitely pay less than he does in obtaining support."

"If he refuses to cooperate with us, then it is his freedom." Ding Yi ordered Liu Ji like this.

Jem, who is Bayesette's brother, is also the chair of the Caliph. He is a powerful competitor.

Liu Ji was certainly arranged to do it immediately, but within a short while he came back with a wry smile: "Sir, there is no need to send an envoy to go there. Jem has been defeated by Bayesette and fled to Rhode Island for asylum, and the Knights of the Hospital ordered them to obey the saints and serve allegiance to you. So they sent Jem to Crete."

When will the Holy See's order be so good for the Knights of the Hospital? The key is Ding Yi, the Knights of the Hospital were beaten up and honest! It's like the popular jokes in the Hospital's Knights of the Hospital: "Poseidon has always been convinced with virtue, and what he said makes sense. Please note that if you can't understand him, it doesn't matter. Just confirm that it is correct and do it according to this."

"Why?" At this time, there will be someone who will act as the supporting actor.

"Because you won't be willing to reason with Poseidon's naval gun."

What they followed was probably not the Holy See's orders, but the principle of naval guns.

But no matter what, Jem, the brother of Bayesette, was sent to Crete.

And when he came to Ding Yi, he began to scold his brother Bayeset, and even said to Ding Yi: "Your Majesty! Bayeset is an unreliable person. He has said bad things about you many times in front of the Caliph. If he ruled Omans, then he would be a country full of hostility towards Emperor Ximing!"

However, it was obvious that Ding Yi was not moved by his words. After letting him speak for twenty minutes, he realized his childishness and kept silent, Ding Yi spoke to Jem. He spoke very directly, without any intention of giving the other party any face: "In the duel arena, I killed your father. If you want to avenge Mohamed II, I can give you weapons."

Ding Yi waited for the other party's reply with interest. This was a test. If Jem wanted to avenge his father, he would not get a weapon at all. He would be dragged down and then given to Bayeselli. Because those words were just a common man and were not enough to cause any trouble for Bayesel.

"Anyone who walks on the duel should have the awareness of death." Jem was silent for a while. Although his eyes were a little red, he did not shed tears. He raised his head and looked at Ding Yi, "I am sad for the death of my father, but I dare not have any resentment towards His Majesty. Especially this duel itself was initiated by my father."

Ding nodded, took the tea made by Cao Jixiang and tasted it, and said to Jem: "I can send someone to escort you to the Pope. You know, Pius II is extremely uneasy about the expansion of the Ottoman. Maybe he will support you and use the Crusaders as your backing to let you return to the Ottoman and fight for dominance again with Bayesette."

I don’t know if it was Ding’s arrival that changed history; or if it was because in history, after arriving at Rhode Island, Jem was kidnapped by the Knights of the Hospital and had no choice at all. In short, he did not hesitate in the face of this choice: “No, your majesty, if you can, I hope you can get your help.”

He didn't know that this sentence changed his own destiny.

If he went to the Pope, it would overlap with the historical trajectory. Bayesette asked the pope to imprison Jem for 30,000 gold coins a year, until more than thirty years later, Jem died of abscess.

"Do you know the Persian Sophie Cult?" Ding Yi put down the teacup in his hand and asked Jem.

"If you say that, I know that the sects created by Sophiding are Shiites." Obviously, Jem is not a completely useless guy either.

This made Ding a little interested in him at first: "I only have one condition, freedom of belief. If you can do this, go to Persia, go to the 'Red Head', and lead them as the son of Muhammad II. I will give you some instructors and weapons, of course, not free of charge, but you can settle the weapons and personnel funds after you take down Tabriz."

"I would rather fight my dear brother in Asia Minor, your Majesty, if you can get your permission!"

Ding Yi smiled while stroking his short beard, and he bent down and asked Jem, "Do you know the difference between himself and Bayesette?"

"Bayesset knew very well what I allowed him to do, or what I didn't allow him to do."

"Obviously, you turned to me, and I need an agent in Persia. This is a job, and I think you are suitable for this job. You can accept or refuse. As for Asia Minor, do I have any questions?" Ding Yi said that, almost showed his eight teeth smile.

And Jem lowered his head deeply, and he felt terrifying, real as if it was textured.

"Yes, your majesty, Jem is willing to accept this job." He said it a little hard, but finally expressed his attitude of taming.

"Very good. Your probation period is half a year. If you can't complete this probation period, then you will be unemployed in half a year. Do you understand? You will lose this job, and then I will send you to the mine. You have to carry the ore with the black people and use your own labor to repay my investment in the past six months until you pay it off. Normally, unless you can live for two hundred years and work all the time, you will not be able to pay it off. Well, you can quit, and there will be officials to negotiate details with you."

Following Cao Jixiang's teachings, Jem kowtowed to Ding Yi and thanked him.

"Sir, why don't you put him in Asia Minor?" Liu Ji didn't understand what Ding Yi meant, so he threw Jem in Asia Minor, gave him some cold weapons, some military expenses, and asked him to make trouble with Bayesette. Isn't it a matter that is in Ximing's interests?

"Because I am worried that after the sir and Yao Dazhang meet in Smyrna, they will question me about the question of the capital of Tumaina and make things difficult for me. And I will have no answer. So, maybe the best way is that we should take over the entire Asia Minor." Ding Yi sighed, "I hope I can retire after the age of forty. No, don't say anything forever. If you want me to be emperor, I will be emperor, but the royal family will just let it be inherited as a kind of honor. You must never try to let me do so many things after the age of forty!"

Speaking of this, Ding Yi couldn't help but curse and swear: "Damn, I don't even have time!"

Liu Ji turned his face away and just pretended that he couldn't hear it. He was very good at not hearing what he shouldn't have heard.

In fact, Ding Yi was really busy, because the Venetian fleet arrived soon, nearly 200 large sailboats, they came out in full swing, ready for naval battles and landings. I am afraid that the whole of Venice who could pick up swords and guns were summoned.

"What are you waiting for?" Ding Yi asked Liu Ji in confusion, "They have plans to bring a million taels of silver ashore?"

Ding Yi said to the Venetian messenger: "Your Majesty, I feel even worse."

"Your Majesty, we only ask for a franchise! Venice is in the Mediterranean and does not have to comply with the regulations of the Ximing Empire. Otherwise, the Venetians will never be afraid of war!" The gunboat alone is sixty to six, and there are so many large sailboats. The messenger does have the confidence to say this.
