If one person can hit three, run away two, and injure one, his skills can be considered to be pretty good.
Ding Yunyi observed it carefully. This man was about twenty-four or five years old, tall and powerful in appearance. He walked up to him and asked, "What is your name and why do you hurt people?"
"My name is Wang Wei." The man's voice was very loud: "My wife was unfaithful and cheated on me, and she hooked up with Mr. Ma's son in the village. I went to argue with them, but they scolded me, so I took action.
I beat them up. Master Ma’s son was also lame in one leg. Originally, Master Ma wanted to kill me in the government office, but fortunately the former prefect Deng took pity on me and sentenced me to prison.”
Although what he said was not very clear, Ding Yunyi understood the cause and effect. That is, his wife committed adultery with someone, and he beat the adulterer. The adulterer's father wanted to use the power of the government to kill him, but in the end he met his father, Ding
Yuan Zhao's disciple, Ye Yuan's predecessor, did not bend the law for personal gain, but left him a way out.
Ding Yunyi nodded slightly: "Do you know the words?"
Seeing Wang Wei shake his head, Ding Yunyi asked again: "Are you willing to join the army with me?"
"Can I become a general by joining the army with you?" Wang Wei asked rhetorically.
Ding Yunyi was very curious: "Why do you want to be a general?"
I thought he would say something ambitious, but Wang Wei said: "When I become a general, I can go back to the village in glory, humiliate that woman, and make her regret it for the rest of her life."
Ding Yunyi was startled for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face.
This is Wang Wei's greatest "ambition". This man is frank and honest, and his only purpose in joining the army is to get rid of the bad breath in his chest.
Ding Yunyi glanced at Wang Wei and his companions: "As long as you fight bravely and are not afraid of death, everyone will become a general sooner or later. You are all prisoners, and you will have to sit in jail for a long time.
Your family can't hold their head high in front of others, but it's different now. Now I'll give you a chance to serve the imperial court, and you'll be paid monthly. After serving in the army for three years, those who are willing to stay in the army will be killed if they find a way.
Do meritorious service to the enemy, become a general, and go home in glory. If you don't want to continue to join the army, I will give you some money, and you will be a free man. I ask you again, are you all willing?"
"Yes! Yes! Yes!" All the prisoners shouted loudly.
"Okay!" Ding Yunyi said loudly: "You all form a team separately, and I will assign you to a centenarian. From now on, you are all my people, listen to me and do as I tell you.
If you don’t run away on the battlefield, don’t be afraid of death, and dare to fight tooth and nail, I, Ding Yunyi, will never treat you badly!”
This special force was established, composed entirely of prisoners.
Ding Yunyi firmly believes that if such troops can be rigorously trained, their special mentality will drive them to fight bloody battles on the battlefield.
Ye Yuan's ability to do things was extraordinary. He recruited two hundred people in such a short period of time, which was a small favor to Ding Yunyi. However, no matter how capable Ye Yuan was, he was still unable to solve the problem of Ding Yunyi's marriage.
Ding Biyue was resolute and refused to let go no matter how much Ye Yuan begged and tried to mediate. She just insisted that she would agree to the marriage unless the sun came out from the west.
Ding Yunyi and Ye Yuan initially looked at each other, helpless. Ding Yunyi went into battle to kill the enemy and never frowned, but what could he do when he met such a stubborn sister?
Ye Yuan had no other solution at first. He could only tell Ding Yunyi that it would be some time before he got married, and he would always find a way to soften his wife's attitude.
This is all that can be done for now. While Ding Yunyi sent people to Penghu to mobilize ships to transport the newly recruited soldiers, he stayed at Ye's house, talking carefully with his sister, and never mentioned marriage again.
As long as this matter is not mentioned, Ding Biyue seems to be a different person. She happily chats with her brother about some interesting childhood stories. But as soon as Ding Yunyi comes to the important matter of marriage, Ding Biyue's face immediately darkens and she is frightened.
Ding Yunyi quickly retracted his words.
After staying in Quanzhou for two days, all 200 people were sent to Penghu. Ding Yunyi was about to say goodbye when the thing that worried him finally happened:
Zheng Zhilong is here.
In fact, from the first moment Ding Yunyi set foot in Penghu, Ding Yunyi knew that Zheng Zhilong would know about it soon, but it was still a bit unexpected that he had endured it until now.
When the two met at Ye's house, they were polite as usual. Zheng Zhilong greatly praised Ding Yunyi. He was nothing more than annihilating the pirate Liu Xiang, which was of great benefit to Fujian and Guangdong. He, Ding Yunyi, was just as brave as he was.
Ding Yunyi was humble for a long time, and Zheng Zhilong suddenly laughed and said: "Xiang Wen came to Quanzhou, why didn't he come to see me? Isn't this officer worthless in Xiang Wen's eyes?"
"Shen Rong forgives me." Ding Yunyi said quickly: "This time I came to Quanzhou to meet my brother-in-law and sister. Shen Rong has many things to do and is busy with official duties, so Yun Yi dare not disturb me."
"My place is always open for you Xiang Wen. You can come whenever you want." Zheng Zhilong said sincerely: "I heard that you came to Quanzhou, and I thought you would always come to see me, but wait, wait, wait.
I didn't see you even when I went there, so I had no choice but to come and see you."
Speaking of this, a smile appeared on his face again: "But it makes sense for you to meet your brother-in-law first. Firstly, it is due to family ties. Secondly, Magistrate Ye is very capable of doing things. Ding Shoubei needs someone, and he can do it in a short time."
Two hundred people were recruited. This reminds me of a saying, if there are people in the court who are good at becoming officials."
Ding Yunyi's expression remained unchanged: "When I was appointed to guard Penghu, I told you firstly that I would not give anyone, money, or weapons. I would have to figure out my own way for everything. As long as it does not violate my 'Great Ming Law', no matter what
Any method can be used. Yun Yi then begged his brother-in-law to do this, and my brother-in-law finally thought Yun Yi was pitiful and reluctantly recruited 200 people for me."
He carried the emperor out, and Zheng Zhilong smiled slightly and said: "Yes, you are in trouble, and I am very considerate of you, so I ordered the port not to make things difficult for you when transporting troops. Otherwise, how could you easily kill people?"
Send it out? Right? Haha, haha!"
This not only told Ding Yunyi that he had given him face, but also threatened him. It was Zheng Zhilong who had the final say in Quanzhou. Without his noble hand, Ding Yunyi would not be able to send him out alone.
Ding Yunyi knew it well and was neither humble nor arrogant: "Yun Yi will keep Shen Rong's kindness to Yun Yi in mind. If there is a chance in the future, Yun Yi will definitely repay Shen Rong. Also, during this period, the income from maritime business should be given to Shen Rong.
