The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 20 Acting Defense Officer?

At this moment, Zhang Cheng signaled Yang Yong not to leave, looked around, and said loudly: "I just accepted Ding Yi as my adopted son."

"congratulations"

There were congratulations all around, but most of them were weak, only Ruan Wenlong responded louder and his tone was quite polite.

Zhang Cheng didn't care, and continued: "Ding Yi and Zhang Jing have beheaded fourteen heads in this battle, which must be a great achievement."

"According to my military merits of the Ming Dynasty, Ding Yi's first merit can be awarded three levels."

"He used to be Chief Jia, but he will be promoted to Deputy Qianhu and be the team officer."

There was an uproar all around, the faces of Zhou Yong on the left were all jealous, and those on the right were envious.

Especially Zhou Yong, although he was a deputy promotion, he did not serve as the team officer.

If Ding Yi wants to be promoted in this way, the real power is greater than him.

But fortunately, Zhang Cheng has the final say on the appointment, if he really reports to Ningyuan, and then waits for the approval and reward from above, under normal circumstances it may take three to five months, and sometimes it may take more than half a year.

Zhou Yong and the others remained calm, naturally not taking it seriously.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Cheng continued: "Everyone also saw the offensive of the Tartars yesterday. It is said that there are priorities, and the military situation waits for no one."

"I am seriously injured and can no longer command everyone."

"So, my official orders."

"Ding Yi, as Deputy Qianhu, will temporarily act as the defense officer of Xu Dabao, and will be fully responsible for all military and civilian affairs of Xu Dabao. Anyone who refuses to follow will be executed."

The audience was in an uproar again.

This is even more exaggerated than the good news just now.

Zhou Yong almost vomited blood, just now he said he was the team officer, how did he become the defense officer in the blink of an eye?
This rise is too fast.

Also, what are you talking about?
Do you think you are Yuan Chonghuan?

Regardless of the various surprises of the people below, Zhang Cheng immediately asked Ruan Wenlong to fetch the paper and his official seal, and wrote a few temporary documents on the spot. After the seal was stamped, he handed three copies to Yang Yong. To Ningyuan.

There was a lot of discussion among the people, and soon a quarrel broke out.

"My lord, this seems to be against the rules." Zhou Yong was the first to bring it up.

"The military situation is urgent, and if it is in compliance with the rules, the higher-ups will naturally reply." Zhang Cheng said in a deep voice.

Zhou Yong cursed in his heart, if this document can't be sent to Ningyuan, what a fart to reply.

The three hundred households on the right have also followed Zhang Cheng for many years and are able to fight bravely, so they looked down on Ding Yi and showed favor to Zhou Yong just now.

Someone would buzz and say, "Did Master Ding kill a real Tartar? I want to see his head. If it's a real Tartar, I'll listen to him."

The two hundred households on the side also nodded.

Zhou Yong and the others snickered.

"I'll talk about it later." Ding Yi smiled at this moment, and clasped his fists to everyone: "Ding Yi is not talented, and he is willing to relieve the worries of his adoptive father. We need everyone's help in the following matters."

Cut, there was a burst of booing in the hall, and he didn't dare to show us his head, it must be killing good people and taking meritorious service.

Zhou Yong laughed even more happily.

Ding Yi ignored them and turned to look at Zhang Cheng.

Zhang Cheng nodded: "You, let's do it." After saying that, he let out a long sigh of relief, and the complexion on his whole face turned gray again.

He had just returned to the light and tried his best to help Ding Yi in the end.

"Father." Ding Yi looked at the old and seriously injured Zhang Cheng, and finally his eyes turned red.

If the choking voice when he entered the door for the first time was just pretending, this time he could really feel Zhang Cheng's genuine love for him.
-
A quarter of an hour later.

Xu Dabao Chamber of Commerce.

Zhou Yong stood in the middle of the hall with his head held high, and two hundred households around him followed him.

Ding Yi stood on the left side with a humble face and a smile, only Ruan Wenlong followed him.

Yang Yong and his two families guarded the door, while Zhang Jing, Song Fei and others stood around casually.

On the right are three other hundred households Xu Wei, Du Ruhai, and Zhong Zhennu.

At this time, people came in one after another from outside.

According to Ding Yi's request, all the hundred households and general banners in the castle will enter the hall for discussion.

Because there are other forts, every hundred households in other forts, the general flag comes in, and Ruan Wenlong will introduce them on his behalf.

"This is You Baihu from Dasheng Castle."

"This is the company's flag."

"This is Mr. Zhang's adopted son, Ding Yi, acting as Xu Dabao's defense officer temporarily."

"Hello, Master Ding."

"Okay, okay." Ding Yi smiled and got acquainted with everyone.

The people who came in had various expressions, some seemed to have gotten the news in advance, and they were polite to Ding Yi, while some looked stunned and inexplicable.

Xu Dabao suddenly changed to such a young defense officer, everyone was a little confused.

Xu Dabao is the largest fort with a radius of [-] miles, and it is also the one with the best defensive terrain. All the people who had many outer forts fled here after the war. Everyone also took a fancy to Zhang Cheng for decades and later. With the experience of the Golden Blood War, the sudden change of personnel made some people naturally doubt and worry.

Ding Yi recognized the person here, while Zhou Yong was standing in the middle of the hall, his face full of cynicism.

In the middle of the hall is the main seat, and he took the main seat as deputy Qianhu, naturally announcing to Ding Yi that he has the final say here.

And Ding Yi consciously stood to the left, which made him look down on Ding Yi even more.

"My lord, what is this kid doing? Are you planning to make friends with the general banner Baihu of other forts?" A Baihu beside him laughed.

"Want to win people's hearts, but since he doesn't even have full hair, who will listen to him." Another hundred households laughed.

Zhou Yong laughed dryly, turned his head and said, "Be careful what you say, this is the future defense officer."

"Fart defense officer." Baihu sneered: "He can sit firmly in this position, I'm going to eat shit."

Hahaha, the three looked at each other and laughed.

Xu Wei and the others on the other side also looked at each other in blank dismay.

All three of them are close friends of Zhang Cheng, so although they are dissatisfied with Ding Yi, they are willing to listen to Zhang Cheng's words.

But looking at Ding Yi's current appearance, it is really disappointing.

"What is he doing?" Xu Wei was dumbfounded: "A face of flattery, making friends with middle- and lower-level officers? When is it, and what is the use now?"

"Master Zhang boasted that he was brave and invincible. I think he is a sycophant just like Zhou Yong, so what kind of battle would he fight?" Du Ruhai said dissatisfied.

"I heard from Yang Yong that the heads are real." Zhong Zhennu said in a low voice.

"So what, maybe it was picked." Xu Wei still didn't believe it: "Or it was bought with the life of the whole castle."

Zhang Jing also said that the entire Daxing Fort was destroyed, maybe when the Tartars attacked Daxing Fort, more than a dozen people died in battle, and he happened to pick them up and escape.

After hearing this, Zhong and Du felt reasonable and nodded their heads.

Because no matter how you look at it, no matter how you think about it, this young man with a flattering face, who has made friends with low-level military officers, and looks like he is only eighteen or nine years old, does not look like a Ming warrior who killed fifteen Tartars.

After a while, all the hundred households and general banners of Xu Dabao had entered the meeting hall.

A total of seven hundred households, eighteen general banners, plus Song Fei, Zhang Jing and others, the hall is full of people, and everyone is chatting in small groups, which is very lively.

Ding Yi met everyone once, then walked around in the crowd, bowed his head and said a few words to Sein Fei, Zhang Jing and others.

Not long after, Ding Yi walked up to Zhou Yong.
