The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 161
On January 28, Yang Yong returned to Lushun with Wang Chengen and two Jin Yiwei with the reward from the imperial court.

Wang Chengen was more grand this time. He set up an incense case and summoned the generals to read the imperial decree first.

After listening to Xu Fuzou, he breathed a sigh of relief, because after Yuan was arrested, he was always afraid of being liquidated, and it seemed that he made the right bet by betting on Jinzhou.

Chen Shi and Mao Yongyi were also in a good mood, not only because they were promoted to generals, but because Yuan was arrested.

When Ding Yi heard the imperial decree, his eyes were red and his expression seemed very sad, so he almost cried.

Everyone is baffled, although you have not been promoted to an official position, but the reward is not small, what do you want to inherit the Jinyiwei family from your descendants?
Also, Lushun will belong to you in the future, and the nuclear army has [-] soldiers, which is comparable to the general army of a party. What else do you want.

Wang Chengen was quite embarrassed. The last time he came to read the imperial decree, Ding Yi cried and thanked Sheng Shanglong.

After reading this time, Ding Yi also looked very sad.

General Ding turned out to be a sentimental and affectionate comrade.

People who are eunuchs value those who value feelings most.

Wang Chengen's impression of Ding Yi is getting better and better.

He took Ding Yi's hand cordially: "General Ding has made great contributions this time, but he was just promoted last time, so he is really helpless. General Ding, don't take it to heart, Your Majesty, remember you."

"The last general is not sad about himself." Ding Yi choked up slightly: "The last general is hearing - hearing - His Majesty quarreled with the ministers for the last general, blushing, the emperor's prestige is gone, woohoo - the last general He Dehe can , can make His Majesty so gracious, the last general—deserves death—”

Wang Chengen was soured by Ding Yi's words, he supported Ding Yi's arm, and said with red eyes: "It's good that General Ding knows it well."

"Now that General Ding knows, everything His Majesty has done is worth it."

For the nuns, Chen Shishi, Mao Yongyi and the others were listening, cursing in their hearts, the surname Ding is really shameless, he flattered Chongzhen, and set the same thing.

At this time, Xu Fuzuo thought to himself, it's my turn, right?
Cough cough, he coughed a few times, and suddenly said sharply: "Ding Yi, what about the sword His Majesty gave you last time, why didn't you wear it when you received the order today, and you still have His Majesty in your eyes?"

There was silence all around, and Chen Shiyou and Mao Yongyi looked at Xu Fuzou inexplicably.

Wang Chengen was also stunned for a moment. Of course he found out, but he didn't have the nerve to mention it, for fear that Ding Yi would forget.

It stands to reason that the sword given by His Majesty last time should be worn on his body this time after receiving the imperial edict. This is a respect for His Majesty.

"Master Chief Soldier." Ding Yi choked up and lost his voice: "The last bloody battle in Jinzhou, only survived by His Majesty's sword."

"Ding Yi has been carefully crafted by a famous craftsman, and it is enshrined in the mansion like a treasure. From now on, the descendants of the Ding family will pass it down from generation to generation, and they will never forget His Majesty's kindness."

"This is a family heirloom of our Ding family, how can you show it to others at will."

Wang Chengen was moved to tears.

If all the generals in the world are as sensible as Ding Yi, why worry about the downfall of the Ming Dynasty and the immortality of the Eastern Captives?

"General Ding, it is the glory of Ming Dynasty." Wang Chengen patted Ding Yi on the shoulder full of praise.

Damn it, Chen sometimes and Mao Yongyi looked at each other in blank dismay, convinced.

When Wang Chengen was leaving, Xu Baihu, the Jinyi guard from last time, came to look for Ding Yi again.

Compared with the domineering last time, Xu Baihu smiled all over his face, and accompanied the smile in a low voice: "General Ding, last time I was talking nonsense from a humble job, and my mind was fascinated by ghosts. Your lord has a lot, so don't take it to heart."

"Hehe, hehe. Hehe." Ding Yi laughed dryly and looked at him coldly. In fact, he was quite depressed in his heart. Yang Yong didn't kill Luo Yangxing. From now on, he would be a great enemy. If he had known it would be Zhao Dashan, It can be done for sure.

But it's no use regretting now.

Xu Baihu was startled and frightened, this bastard, in front of Wang Chengen, looked like a cannibal in front of us.

At the same time, my heart was very frustrated, when did Jin Yiwei ever be in such a mess.

Don't be arrogant, Yuan Chonghuan is better than you. He has an army of 10,000+. When he arrives in the capital, we will still pinch him to death. If you have the guts, don't go to Beijing in the future.

He didn't dare to say more, he clasped his fists and left in a hurry.

After Wang Chengen left, according to the imperial decree, when Xu Yao led Chen, Mao Yongyi went to Phi Island, but Chen Jisheng's department in Phi Island hadn't left yet, so they had to wait.

After Ding Yi discussed with them, the three of them only took the soldiers away, the Liao people and the common people would stay, and the hoarded soldiers would also be left to Ding Yi. After all, there were more than 20 to [-] people on Pi's side, enough for them of.

In this case, Ding Yi's population will reach more than [-]. (Because in the past two months, I also bought people from Pidao.)
Especially when Chen Jisheng knew that he was going to leave, he accelerated the speed of selling people. Now even the artisans have started to sell. The day before yesterday, he sold seven ships of people to Ding Yi. Now Ding Yi has broken 2 people.

When the generals returned to their own territory, Ding Yi immediately called a meeting of the generals.

This time he himself was not promoted to an official position, but many of his subordinates were promoted one after another.

He bought six defenses for his subordinates in one go.

That's right, it was considered to be bought. If it weren't for 5000 taels of silver, Liang Yandong would not have agreed so readily.

Zhang Jing, Zhao Dashan, Song Fei, Mao Xin, Zhong Zhennu, and Du Ruhai were promoted to defense.

Xu Wei was the capital, and there were a large number of other generals who were promoted to the generals of Qianhu, Qianhu, Hebazong, Baihu, etc. Most of them were promoted to the middle level, and most of them were former sergeants of Xu Dabao.

Ding Yi held a meeting again and decided to expand the army. At the same time, he asked the officers and non-commissioned officers to start literacy.

Before Ding Yi had five thousand soldiers and five divisions, because there were relatively few firecrackers and armors, he never expanded a lot.

Right now, he has [-] soldiers verified by the court. If he expands his troops by another [-] soldiers, he will be able to form [-] soldiers in an open and honest manner.

As for learning characters, he has always mentioned it before, and some people have volunteered to learn from Ruan Wenlong, but most of them are not willing.

This time, Ding Yi didn't force him either. Those who are willing to learn will learn, and those who are not willing to learn will not.

Because it is not compulsory, only two adults are willing to learn after half a year.

But a year later, many people saw the benefits of learning to read, and gradually more and more people began to learn to read.

It is now approaching January, which is the coldest time in southern Liaoning. Ding Yi has temporarily stopped many things, such as hoarding fields.

But overall, Lushun is in a stage of rapid development.

After more than half a year of construction, Lushun has already opened [-] mu of fertile land, which is much earlier than planned.

Summer sowing starts today, as long as there are no natural disasters and man-made disasters, the autumn harvest can get autumn grain. Calculated at a minimum of one stone per mu, they can get nine thousand stones, which greatly eases their grain consumption.

If it can be planted well, and the yield reaches two shi per mu, there will be [-] shi.

In Ding Yi's plan, three shi or two shi and five dou are needed in summer and autumn, which means more than 2 shi. As more fields are cultivated, self-sufficiency will be achieved one day in the future.

Of course, right now he has fewer soldiers and fewer people, and in the future, when the territory grows, there will be more people. This will be a long-term and arduous task.
