Ding Yunyi was really confused about Zheng Zhilong's actions.
Although his so-called father Ding Yuanzhao was in charge of military affairs in Fujian, in reality, he was a very small person. But judging from Zheng Zhilong's intentions, he took him very seriously and threatened to kill him.
Another gift of a knife.
What exactly was Zheng Zhilong's idea there? I really couldn't figure it out.
Ding Yunyi simply gave up thinking about things that he couldn't figure out, so as not to worry about it. The most important thing now was to go to Penghu and take up the post.
The inspector was just a ninth-grade official. When he took office, there was no one to see him off, and no one had to explain anything. So Zou Weilian, the governor of Fujian, wrote a handwritten letter, asking Ding Yunyi to bring it to Peng Hubiao to give the general Hong Tiaoyuan, which probably meant to give Hong Tiaoyuan.
An inspection was sent, which was not even a formal appointment.
Ding Yunyi doesn't need to worry about Hong Tiaoyuan. He is Ding Yuanzhao's disciple, so he won't embarrass himself if he thinks about it.
Because of Ding Yunyi's outstanding performance in the naval battle, and in order to comfort Ding Yunyi, Zou Weilian rewarded Ding Yunyi with "a sum of money" - thirty taels, and allowed him to choose two people from the army to accompany him.
How did Ding Yunyi know who to choose to go to the barren land of Penghu with him? After thinking for a long time, he chose his former boss Xiao Yifeng.
Xiao Yifeng's career is not in the upper class. Although Ding Yunyi is also a low-ranking official, he is still a ninth-grade inspector. In addition, Ding Yunyi saved Xiao Yifeng's life. After talking about it, Xiao Yifeng agreed to the peace without saying a word.
Ding Yunyi went to Penghu together.
I don’t know who to choose, Ding Yunyi.
Just as I was about to pick one at random, suddenly a soldier was dragged out. The soldier was knocked to the ground, and the soldiers on both sides picked up their military sticks and started beating him.
The soldiers who were beaten were actually strong-willed. They lowered their batons and gritted their teeth without saying a word.
"Lao Bao got hit with a military stick again." Xiao Yifeng on the side shook his head repeatedly.
"Who is this?" Ding Yunyi asked smoothly.
Xiao Yifeng smiled bitterly: "This person can be considered a fellow countryman of mine, including Ju Hua..."
As soon as the name was spoken, Ding Yunyi almost laughed out loud. Bao Juhua? Baojuhua? Why are there such weird names in the world? But think about it, how do people in this era know what Baojuhua is?
Xiao Yifeng didn't know what the inspector was thinking: "This man is not afraid of death when fighting. He really dares to risk his life, but he is just as bad as he likes to gamble. If you get the money, it will belong to others in half a day at most. What should you do if you don't have any money? Take things.
Go pawn and take whatever you see, whether it's yours or someone else's."
This person is quite interesting, Ding Yunyi thought to himself.
After the military stick beating over there, Bao Juhua was taken in to have his injuries examined. After a while, he came out and limped towards this place. Xiao Yifeng smiled and said: "Old Bao, what did you commit this time?"
"I pawned President Jiang's long johns, wouldn't I have received a stick from the Tenth Army?" Bao Juhua muttered.
Ding Yunyi and Xiao Yifeng couldn't help but laugh. Ding Yunyi looked carefully and saw that although Bao Juhua was called "Old Bao", he was only in his twenties and had a strong figure.
With a thought in his heart, he cupped his hands and said: "Brother Bao, you stole some of the boss's long johns. How can I not hold a grudge against the boss? I don't think you can survive here. How about going to Penghu with me?"
"Who is this?" Bao Juhua asked doubtfully.
"This is the new inspector Peng Hubiao, Ding Yun, and inspection inspector Ding Yi."
"I've seen Inspector Ding." Bao Juhua clasped his fists: "I've been to Penghu, a wild place. When the inspector took office there, I guess he offended his boss, right?"
"Nonsense." Xiao Yifeng glared: "Inspector Ding is the son of Master Ding Yuanzhao."
Only then did Bao Juhua pay attention. He looked Ding Yunyi up and down and said after a while: "Master Ding's son? Hey, I said you are also interesting. There is no good place to put your son. He must be thrown to Penghu. Ding
Inspection inspection, I can tell you that Penghu is not only extremely poor, but also red barbarians and pirates often go there, and your life can be lost if you are not careful."
Ding Yunyi didn't say anything to him. He just lowered his voice and said, "Old Bao, have you heard of the old saying? The more chaotic the place, the more opportunities there are to make a fortune."
As soon as the word "get rich" came to Bao Juhua's ears, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Yes, anyway, I have completely offended Mr. Jiang this time. Maybe you want to cause me some trouble, so I might as well go to Penghu to avoid the limelight.
Inspector Ding, I can count on you to take care of me in the future."
"Easy to say, easy to say."
The two of them have finally found each other.
A ninth-grade inspector with thirty taels of silver, a low-ranking 100-year-old soldier, and a soldier who likes gambling formed the "team" for Inspector Ding to take up his post.
On the day of departure, Zou Weilian had already returned. Ding Yunyi's "father" Ding Yuanzhao was busy with post-war military affairs and did not show up. Only Zheng Zhilong came to see him off.
A general seeing off an inspection officer was considered as giving Ding Yunyi some face.
The two had a conversation, and when they saw Zheng Zhilong with a child, they asked casually: "Who is this?"
"This is the dog Zheng Sen." Zheng Zhilong was very proud when he talked about his son.
Zheng Sen? The future Zheng Chenggong? Hearing this name, Ding Yunyi paid special attention.
"Ming Yan, come here and see Inspector Ding." Zheng Zhilong called.
Zheng Sen took a step forward: "Zheng Sen has seen the patrol. The patrol fought in Hongyi. He fought bravely to take the lead, killed the powerful enemy with his own hands, and showed the power of our Ming army. Zheng Sen is very impressed."
How does this person sound like a child?
Ding Yunyi and Zheng Sen were of the same generation. He was polite and said to Zheng Zhilong: "I think Mr. Zheng is a talented person and has extraordinary conversation. His future achievements may be even greater than those of joining the army."
His words were not polite, and they were very helpful to Zheng Zhilong's ears. He seemed to be happier when others praised his son than he did himself, so he humbly said a few words: "Niece Chengxian's good words. It's a pity that Mingyan is too young now, otherwise you
The two of them can become sworn brothers."
Zheng Chenggong and I are sworn brothers? Forget it. This man will be very scheming in the future, and he is not a kind person. Just don't offend him. Ding Yunyi thought in his heart.
"My nephew, the ship is here." Zheng Zhilong pointed towards it: "This time we say goodbye, I'm afraid it will take a year and a half at the earliest before we can meet again. If my nephew has any difficulties in Penghu, send someone to deliver the letter.
When the letter comes back, it turns out that there is no one who refuses to help Mr. Zheng."
"Thank you very much, Shenrong. Farewell!"
After Ding Yunyi finished speaking, he took Xiao Yifeng and Bao Juhua on board the boat. He would never have imagined that just because of a grenade, he would inexplicably come to the Ming Dynasty and become Peng Hubiao's inspection officer.
What will happen in Penghubiao? Ding Yunyi doesn't know.
But since God sent me to the Ming Dynasty, I guess he must have his reasons.
