The students of Thunder Academy, those whose families are in the capital, are somewhat frustrated because the Academy does not allow them to take leave during the Chinese New Year. When they enroll, they sign a document, which is quite similar to the contract signed when they become an apprentice in this era.

You are allowed to be disciplined by the academy. As long as you are not killing, beating or scolding is absolutely irrelevant. Of course, you are not a teacher, and you are not allowed to go home without permission from the academy, etc.

Most of the families who send their children here hope to have less mouths in the family and leave their children to be raised in academies, especially girls. They are already prepared to be Ding Yi's maids. Do they still care about this? Besides, girls are already prepared to be Ding Yi's maids.

Ding Yi's reputation is really good, no one cares about it.

So when they heard that they were not allowed to go home, they felt a little helpless. Of course, family members could visit them, which gave them some hope that when their family members came to visit, they could use all the cooking cakes they saved in the academy.

Take them home - yes, they are worried about not being able to go home. It is for this reason that the children of poor people have long been in charge of the family, and they are all forced out.

However, it was still twenty years before the New Year, and the teaching assistants told everyone that they would go to Rongcheng this year.

"Read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles." Ding Junyue said to the new students, "What can you learn if you stay in the capital all the time? I also followed my husband out of the country, and saw the scenery outside the Great Wall, and even went to Miyun avant-garde

, see with your own eyes how the generals fought against the Tartars..." Then he continued to confuse him, saying that Rongcheng has hot springs, a playground, a big school building and many other fun things.

The thirteen- and fourteen-year-old children naturally became happy again when they heard about the excursion and the many novelties.

Ding Yi went to the palace again to ask Emperor Jing to inscribe a big flag on the students of the capital branch, hoping that the government inspections along the way would not be difficult. In fact, it also gave Emperor Jing an opportunity to intervene in the academy. Otherwise, with the words Ding Rongcheng,

.Who really doesn’t have a good eye and would come up to him and slap him in the face?

But Emperor Jing was happy to do such a thing.

When he was asked to name the academy, he wrote Thunder Academy: Ming Dynasty Royal Thunder Academy Capital Branch.

Ding Yi also joined in the fun. When Emperor Jing went to the academy to visit, he arranged for a few students to say something: "As students of the Royal Academy of the Ming Dynasty, seeing the name of the school inscribed by the emperor himself, we should also study the scriptures diligently. Regardless of the future, we

No matter how much you make a living, you should strive to be the best. Only then will you be able to repay the emperor's grace!"

Emperor Jing was very happy to hear this. When Ding came to ask him to write a flag, he naturally would not refuse.

However, after finishing the question, Emperor Jing calmly said to Ding Yi: "Ru Jin, where is the queen mother? It's rare for you to come, so that she can show off her beauty. I think your parents have already passed away. The queen mother and Li Yuande's mother,

They are all your adoptive mothers

, are all in the capital; Mr. Yu is your teacher, and he is also in the capital; Mrs. Liu, and Mrs. Xiao are also in the capital now, but it would not be like this year. You can stay in the capital and spend the rest of your life with your adoptive mother and teacher.

A filial piety, what do Ru Jin think?"

As soon as Ding heard this, his face showed joy. But he said: "Is this appropriate? It's the end of the year, and you can enter the palace safely?"

Looking at Ding Yi's expression, Emperor Jing felt a little calmer in his heart and had a smile on his face: "How can I not enter the palace? Who dares to stop my adopted brother? Xing'an, go down and check, which dog dares to make things difficult for Ru Jin?

Beat me to death." Ding Yi was willing to stay in the capital. Emperor Jing felt that the previous report from the factory guard was somewhat dishonest, so he took the opportunity to attack the inner court.

"No, no! I'm just worried that it's against etiquette... Your Majesty, it's your wish, and I don't dare to ask for it!" Ding Yi hurriedly helped Xing'an, with an expression of joy that couldn't be concealed. The reason why he let the capital

The student from the branch went to Rongcheng because he had received a rifled gun sample from Rongcheng a few days ago.

Ding had expected early on that Emperor Jing would probably keep him in Beijing.

Because the situation in Miyun Vanguard must no longer be concealed.

The bastion group of Miyun Vanguard was completed at the end of October. The fact that Ding Ruyu dominates Duoyan Guard can be noticed even if he does not send troops out to conduct reconnaissance, as long as a few Jinyi guards at Tiemen Pass go out to conduct a brief investigation.

So Ding Ruyu didn't intend to hide it, and made several battle reports with A'er Qiman overtly and secretly. As for the success, the Tatar heads were sent to the capital one after another.

The Miyun Vanguard has become the first guard post outside Guxuan Pass. Ding Ruyu's good news also mentioned the capture, saying that if spring comes tomorrow, the Miyun Vanguard should be self-sufficient and will not have to rely on the transportation of supplies from within the pass.

, quite a bit like listening to the tune but not the propaganda.

In fact, the official document from the Ministry of War asking Ding Ruyu to return to Beijing to report on his duties was rejected. The reason was that the Tartars outside the pass were rampant and the remaining enemies were being eliminated. However, Ding Ruyu also invited censors and eunuchs to supervise the army, which meant that he really could not leave.

, but still obeyed the court's orders.

But this is only superficial form.

Whether it was Yu Qian or Emperor Jing, they were not that stupid. They really sent censors and eunuchs. After leaving the customs, they still had to listen to Ding Ruyu's instructions. If he really dared to take up the role of supervisory army, Ding Ruyu would kill them.

one

He was killed with a knife, and there was really no need to bury him. He just threw the body into the prison and said it was a surprise attack by the Tatars. It was great to send the heads of hundreds and dozens of Tatars, saying it was to avenge the prison army. The court

What can be done to her?

So what Emperor Jing had to do was to keep an eye on Ding Yi. He knew very well that Ding Yi was Ding Ruyu's lifeblood.

The factory guard came to report that Ding Yi had taken his disciples south, fearing that Ding Ruyu's frightened incident would implicate him, so he wanted to flee back to Rongcheng, relying on his local power to persuade the court to take action; or Ding Yi

Prepare to leave the team and escape alone halfway, and then wait for an opportunity to escape from Guan Yunyun.

Emperor Jing didn't really believe that Ding Yi would do such a thing, because he knew very well that if Ding Yi wanted to sneak away, he would just send Liu Yiyi and Tianrandai away, and Ding Yi would step into the enemy's camp on a snowy night.

There are many ways to slip away. And Emperor Jing felt that it was a business jointly operated by Liu Yiyi and the harem, and the income alone was enough to protect Ding Yi from death - he knew very well that Ding Yi also knew this.

Xing'an may not be aware of these things, but the report below is through Jin Ying, so he cannot stop it. The struggle in the inner court is not necessarily gentler than that in the outer court. Often these castrated eunuchs use more sophisticated methods.

Cruel. Xing'an couldn't make enemies for no reason, and Ding Yi didn't give him any benefits. Besides, this method of restricting the generals' relatives has always been unspoken.

As soon as Ding Yi left the palace, Liu Tie had been waiting there for a long time, but he secretly made a gesture to Ding Yi. Ding Yi smiled slightly, tightened his tight fur, pressed the saddle and jumped on the horse.

Under the protection of those personal guards, the horses' hooves kicked up the snow on the street and moved forward.

This group of academy students went to Rongcheng, and these are not the ones who came back.

Liu Tie's gesture is a mass-produced prototype of a rifled gun, which has been sent to the capital. When these academy students go to Rongcheng to celebrate the New Year, what Ding Junyue brings back will be with Ding Yi when he leaves seclusion.

Of course, those eight hundred students who were fighting against the Tartars, such as Yang Shousui, who were not military households and were orphans of the war, would be left behind.

According to Ding Yi's estimate, there are at least 400 people who can accompany Ding Junyue to Beijing. In addition to the nearly 100 people from the police transfer company who have been transferred to teaching assistants in the capital branch and are recuperating in Jinyu Alley and have almost recovered, he will have six

A team of about a hundred people - five rifle companies equipped with forward-loading spiral-rifled rifles and using strip-concave bullets.

Ding Yi rushed back to Jinyu Alley, immediately rejected the irrelevant people, and told Liu Tie: "Here, all 600 people must be equipped with Jingtai 2nd-year-old rifles before returning to the capital; Fatty Jiaowen and the others also followed them to the capital.

"Don't go to Beijing. Rongcheng is our base. Once Fatty Wen and the others leave, the factories and industry will all depend on you."

"Disciple understands." Liu Tie knew that this was not the time to be sweet.

Ding nodded, took a ruler and a stylus, spent half an hour and drew another drawing. After the ink was dry, he handed it to Liu Tie and said to him: "If we still can't make the trip by the end of January, then

Ding Junyue made the regulations and took people to Beijing. Wen Pang

Zi and others will not go to the capital for the time being. After the required firearms are produced in the factory, teach them to produce these things, fifty, and five hundred nitro grenades with matchlock fuses. There is no need to send them to the capital. You can test them as shown in the picture.

If it can be successfully launched, it will be mass-produced."

"Yes, sir." Liu Tie folded the drawings solemnly and put them in his pocket.

He didn't understand what the use of the hand-held iron pipe as shown in the drawing was, and why the wooden-handled grenade was changed back to a match rope. In fact, it was just a process that Ding Yi could currently implement, which required making an oval-shaped delay

Fuze or collision fuze grenades are quite difficult.

As for the grenade, it was a hand-held iron pipe that Liu Tie thought was useless. What was suitable for it to throw was an egg-shaped grenade.

Five rifle companies, although they are still using rifles and black powder - because it is impossible for the wrought iron barrel to withstand the explosion of yellow powder without deforming, at least Ding Yi is not so sure, and this

Testing of various loading quantities not only requires cost, but also requires time.

Although it is still about two rounds per minute, a rifle with rifling is no better than a smoothbore rifle that can only be shot with a volley from fifty meters away. In addition, if ideal, there is also the surface of a grenade.

With the killing and suppressing power, Ding Yi felt that as long as he entered Dong'anmen, he would be very confident of killing through Dongda Street and rushing into Chonghua Palace.

The general guarding Dong'an Gate happened to be one of the names on the list Wang Ji gave him in Nanjing.

Emperor Jing had already asked him to stay in the capital and not allow him to return to Rongcheng, so Ding Yi was no longer prepared to go down in vain.

Ding Yi felt that he really couldn't bear it for Emperor Jing who wanted to secure his position and leave the throne to his son.

In fact, Emperor Jing may not let him endure it much longer.

This is not a battle between Ding Yi and Emperor Jing.
