The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 238 Be More Fierce

With a plop, Zhao Honglie sat down on the stool. He covered his face with burning pain, and looked at Ding Yi in disbelief. He wanted to curse and scream, but he didn't dare to.

Xu Guoying sat down on the ground as if she was mourning her concubine.

"Ah." He screamed, covering his face, "I've killed someone, I've killed someone," he cried.

"Ba..." Ding Yi went up and slapped him again.

"Well..." Xu Guoying's head fell heavily to the ground.

Ding Yi turned around, picked up the stool next to him, and slammed it on his back with bang bang bang.

"Screw again, scream again, scream again." Shouting while smashing.

Crazy, crazy, really crazy, Zhao Honglie shrank to one side, shivering like a sheep, not daring to move, not uttering a sound.

Crash, the stool was directly smashed, Xu Guoying collapsed on the ground, her face was covered with blood, and she kept sobbing.

He didn't dare to yell anymore. He didn't dare to yell anymore after being beaten by Ding Yi. He shrank into a ball, put his head in his hands, and whispered: "Stop beating, our family won't yell anymore, don't beating, please forgive me, we know wrong--"

"Bitch, bah" Ding Yi spit on the ground and looked up at Zhao Honglie.

This Zhao Honglie also simply knelt down in front of Ding Yi without saying a word, "General Ding, I was wrong, I'm sorry General Ding, I won't dare in the future." His expression almost wanted to cry.

Ding Yi turned around and sat on the main seat with his sword and golden horse. He looked at the two and sneered, "Don't think that I can't find you in Dongjiang Lushun."

"I'm going to kill you, it's easy."

"Send a few elite soldiers over and kill your whole family."

"You still dare to scare me with Jin Yiwei? Jin Yiwei, I'm sorry."

"Baba..." Zhao Honglie slapped himself directly: "General Ding, I really know I was wrong, and I will never dare again."

Ding Yi led soldiers and horses into Wang Qiji's house in Dengzhou, killing Wang Qiji's family blood flowed into rivers. Zhao Honglie is really scared out of his wits now, so he should admit his mistake quickly.

The face and power of Jin Yiwei are all empty.

"Do you really know you're wrong?" Ding Yi asked with his head down.

"I know I was wrong." Xu Guoying and Zhao Honglie hurriedly nodded at the same time.

"If you know your mistakes, you will be punished." Ding Yi said calmly, "Tomorrow morning, each person will contribute 1 taels of silver."

"I will cancel this matter and never mention it again."

"Ah..." Xu Guoying, as an eunuch, loves money like his life, hearing this now, she can't help but die.

Zhao Honglie was even more stunned. Jin Yiwei was the only one who extorted other people's money. Unexpectedly, there would be a day when he would be extorted by others?
"Remember, at this time tomorrow, if you don't see the money, you will see your life." Ding Yi said, got up and strode away.

The two stared blankly at Ding Yi walking out of the room, waiting for Ding Yi's figure to disappear.

Wow, that Xu Guoying cried bitterly, cursing at the same time: "Is there still a king's law? The general of the garrison will steal money."

"Zhao Qianhu, gather all your soldiers and horses, and arrest this traitor—" He rolled on the ground like a woman, crying and cursing.

Zhao Honglie glanced at him like an idiot. How many people are there in his thousand households? They are all paid for by him. Besides, it's okay for these people to bully the common people, so they dare to fight with the army with a knife.

This Ding Yi is a lunatic, he has no law in his eyes, if I really want to drive him crazy, I will send some elite soldiers over to touch my house tomorrow, and I will be finished.

Zhao Honglie made it clear that the Jinyiwei people in the Qianhu Office would not stay with him for the rest of their lives, and the soldiers would stay with the Shangguan for the rest of their lives.

A soldier would do his best for his superior, but no one in Jinyiwei would do his best for him.

Looking at Ding Yi's soldiers and horses just now, he knew that they were all elites.

This guy's soldiers are famous for being able to fight, and they have killed hundreds of Tartars. Killing a thousand households of mine is not as simple as killing chickens.

As Zhao Honglie thought about it, his heart became more and more sad. Enduring the humiliation, he said earnestly: "Spend money to eliminate the disaster, who asked us to provoke this evil star."

"Ah, I'm not alive." Xu Guoying cried even worse.
-
On the street, Xiang Huailai was asking Ding Yi: "My lord, will he pay the money tomorrow?"

"It will definitely be paid." Ding Yi said with a smile: "The more high-ranking people are, the richer they are, the more afraid of death."

Xiang Huailai disturbed his head, and said with a simple smile: "I used to hear that Jin Yiwei is very fierce and scary, so it's just like that."

Ding Yi sneered: "In this current world, as long as you are more fierce than others, others will naturally be afraid of you."

Then he patted Xiang Huailai: "Look at the brothers behind us, this is our capital to kill others, without the support of our brothers, we are nothing."

"If we can only make money, we must be like the Xu family and let others slaughter us."

Xiang Huailai thought for a while, then nodded heavily: "My lord, I think we have to be more aggressive."

"Practice more soldiers and horses."

"..." Ding Yi.
-
That night, Ding Yi lived on the boat, and did not dare to live in Nanjing. After pretending to be aggressive, it is better to be safe.

Since he was almost killed by Liu Xingzhi last time, Ding Yi often reminded himself not to follow in the footsteps of Mao Wenlong and Yuan Chonghuan.

These two people are lessons learned in blood.

The next morning, Ding Yi sent someone to fetch the silver, and sure enough, Zhao Honglie and Xu Guoying handed it over honestly.

After taking the money, Ding Yi sent people around to look for talents.

He took Xiang Huailai and a few soldiers to Xiaguan by himself.

Near Xiaguan, there used to be two shipyards, one was the Treasure Shipyard, when Zheng He sailed to the West, many large ships were made of treasure ship stones, and the other was called the Longjiang Shipyard, which also cooperated with the Treasure Shipyard to build seagoing ships. of.

At its peak, Longjiang Shipyard had more than 400 professional shipbuilders, and there were more than 60 large houses in the awning factory for seagoing ships alone.

With the shrinking of large-scale shipping activities after Yongle, Longjiang Shipyard gradually ushered in a period of decline.Afterwards, Longjiang Shipyard was even shut down from seagoing ship business. In the Jiajing period in the middle of Ming Dynasty, Longjiang Shipyard only manufactured 400 types of yellow boats and warships with less than 5 materials, and 29 small and medium-sized ships of different specifications. The ocean connection is also fading away.

Now Bao Shipyard is no longer there, and the scale of Longjiang Shipyard has also dropped a lot. After Ding Yi and the others arrived, they soon saw a living area for shipwrights.

According to the information they inquired before, there are currently about 100 craftsmen in Longjiang Shipyard, and thousands of workers.

For example, when the Fujian Navy fought against Zheng Zhilong, and many warships were sunk in World War I, they would start building ships.

Right now the two sides are no longer fighting, and there is no demand in other parts of the country. It is almost a stop of manufacturing and grinding foreign work.

Xiang Huailai led people in first, and soon brought out an old man about 50 years old.

This man's name is Li Zhi, his ancestor built Zheng He's treasure ship, and now he is one of the three major craftsmen here.

The last time Ruan Siqing approached him, he flatly refused.

Li Zhi brothers are all skilled craftsmen, and there are more than a dozen apprentices in their hands who are craftsmen.

The apprentices are also very filial at ordinary times. They occasionally borrow the shipyard of the government to help merchants build merchant ships, do some private work, and share the money they earn with the officials.
