The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 171 They Are All Historical Celebrities
After the meeting, Ding Yi made arrangements. First, send people in groups of three or five to observe and record the surrounding terrain and various passages on the island in detail; Liao people go.

Everyone spent the night in the camp that night, and nothing happened.

Liu Xingzhi also sent some live chickens and ducks, as well as wine. Everyone felt that Liu Xingzhi was not bad, he was quicker than Chen Jisheng. They had been doing business with Chen Jisheng for so long, and they were regarded as partners, so they were not so polite.

At about eight o'clock the next morning, Liu Xingji brought two soldiers over to invite Ding Yi.

Said to worship Mao Wenlong with the generals, and the soldiers from all the islands came.

The place is not far away, a few hundred meters ahead, and it takes less than 10 minutes to walk there.

Ding Yi nodded, wondering how many people he should bring.

Because he didn't sleep well last night, he always felt something strange in his heart.

But today I just worship Mao Wenlong. If there are too many people, I am afraid of being laughed at.

At this moment, a few figures approached from another hill, and someone laughed from afar: "General Ding, long time no see."

When Ding Yi turned his head, it turned out that it was Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming who were stationed in Guanglu Island, and there were two young men beside him, staring at Ding Yi.

In the past six months, they have had business dealings with each other, and their relationship has improved a lot. Ding Yi quickly cupped his fists and said, "Brother Kong, Brother Geng." Very cordial.

"Brother Kong is here too, let's go worship Mao Shuai together." Liu Xingji clasped his fists and said.

Geng Zhongming laughed loudly: "I said that when I went ashore last night, I saw a lot of soldiers and horses here. It turned out to be General Ding. There was such a big battle. People who didn't know it thought you came to attack Phi Island."

All the generals laughed, with mocking smiles on their faces.

Ding Yi looked embarrassed, and everyone could see that he was afraid of death.

But he has a thick skin, Mao Wenlong is not afraid of death, Chen Jisheng told him not to go to Shuangdao, but he didn't believe it, so he was chopped off.

"General Ding, let me introduce a friend to you. This is Shang Ke who is stationed in Changshan Island." Kong Youde said at this time: "This is our general Mao Chenglu."

It turned out to be them, Ding Yi smiled, they are all historical celebrities, these three treasures finally got together?

He clasped his fists quickly: "So it's Brother Shang, Brother Mao."

No matter who he is, he calls him Big Brother. Anyway, he is young, and he is very kind.

But the other party called him General Ding, and they obviously didn't regard him as one of their own.

Privately, all the generals in Pidao felt that Ding Yi had a thick skin.

Obviously everyone hates him, but if you really want to see him, seeing his words and attitude, you can't hate him.

It's really strange.

Shang Kexi didn't seem to talk much, so he cupped his fists at Ding Yi, called General Ding, and didn't bother to answer him.

Let's not talk about Mao Cheng, Mao Wenlong's adopted son, who is stationed in Changlu Island First Association, and Yuan's people are deadly enemies, so he ignored Ding Yi.

At this time Kong Youde said: "Okay, it's getting late, everyone go to worship Mao Shuai."

Kong Youde was relatively senior among the generals, and he was dignified, so everyone nodded their heads.

Liu Xingji looked at Ding Yi.

Ding Yi saw that none of Kong Youde and the others had brought anyone with him, and immediately said, "Wait a moment, I'll order you to follow me."

Turning back, he pulled Zhao Dashan and Mao Xin to bow their heads and said a few words. Zhao Dashan nodded and turned to enter the camp.

After a while, four soldiers came and followed Ding Yi.

A look of disdain flashed in Geng Zhongming's eyes, probably mocking Ding Yi's timidity.

Ding Yi didn't take much, and took four soldiers.

"Let's go, everyone." Liu Xingji smiled, as if he was also laughing at Ding Yi.

Especially when they saw that Ding Yi's soldiers were carrying a turtle shell on their backs, they smiled even more, and the two of them were also holding long guns, which made people look out of place.

The generals of Pidao walked in front, but no one paid attention to Ding Yi, and Ding Yi led his people to the back.

The four people around him were spear and shield soldiers, picked from Mao Xin's subordinates, Mao Xin wanted to come, but he refused.

Kong and the others didn't bring anyone with them, and it was already despised that he led four soldiers.

Fortunately, he has a thick skin.

Why didn't he bring his own soldiers? Ding Yi believed that these spear and shield soldiers, who had been on the battlefield and fought against the Tartars many times, were more threatening than personal soldiers.

He has a hundred soldiers, and he hasn't fought the Tartars well on the battlefield until now. He has only killed the salt merchants in Dengzhou.

"Xiang Huailai, we meet again." Ding Yi looked at one of them with a friendly smile.

"My lord." Xiang Huailai said excitedly, "I asked to come here on my own initiative."

It turned out to be the new chief, Xiang Huailai, who had done meritorious service in the Golden State War before. After three months of training, he was transferred to the Mao Xin Department as the chief. Ding Yi met him in the graduation class and was awarded the give him the knife.

"Haha, you all played well last time, and you have shown the majesty of our Lushun army."

"Master Ding trained us well." Xiang Huailai also had a sweet mouth.

Ding Yi chatted with them casually, asking about his hometown and how the training was going.

The others were named Tang Aniu, Yang Wu, and He Xiaohe, and they all answered happily, while they talked, they fell behind the generals.

Liu Xingji in front looked back at them from time to time, but the others didn't seem to care.

Seeing that the people in front were far away, Xiang Huailai whispered: "My lord, we ran across that mountain yesterday afternoon. There are many forests on the mountain. To the east is the farmland. There is Pidao hoarding soldiers in the farmland."

"To the west is the sea, and there is no way up or down."

"The south side used to be a salt field, but now it seems that most of it has been abandoned, and only a few salt fields are still boiling salt."

"You can go up to the north. Mao Wenlong is buried on the mountain. It looked fine last night. Everything is safe."

Ding Yi thought for a while: "When we get to the mountain, how many ways can we go down?"

"There are three main roads, one goes to Tuntian, one goes to Yantian, and the other is the road up the mountain."

Ding Yi asked about the situation again, it sounded like nothing unusual, could it be that I was suspicious?
Because he couldn't remember the history of Liu Xingzhi killing Chen Jisheng, and Mao Wenlong was killed by Yuan, Ding Yi felt that he was neurotic.

However, he reminded himself in his heart that it is good to be prepared for the ten-thousand-year ship that is sailing carefully.

When he just left the camp, the arrangements had been made. He led four people to walk ahead. Mao Xin and Zhao Dashan immediately led a large group of soldiers and horses to follow after they walked 500 meters. The distance of 500 meters, if you run fast, three to four minutes Just arrived, even if something unexpected happens, it should come in time.

He could turn around and run back at any time. Thinking about it this way, he felt much more at ease.
