The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 409
On June 6, Ruan Siqing and Xu Miaozhu got married in Songjiang. The wedding was very low-key. The Xu family invited some relatives and friends who had been away all year round, and several local officials.

Ding Yi sent a large amount of betrothal gifts, and the Xu family gave back [-] mu of fertile Songjiang farmland, which surprised Ding Yi.

This means that the Xu family has been willing to be firmly tied to Ding Yi's chariot since then.

Ding Yi still admires Mrs. Xu's generosity.

After getting married, Ruan Siqing lived in Songjiang for three days, and Ding Yi took advantage of the situation and bullied Mrs. Xu several times.

On June 6, the newlywed Ruan Siqing took Xu Miaozhu, and a large amount of raw silk and silk fabrics, and set off with Ding Yi for Fujian.

On the boat that day, Ruan Siqing and Ding Yi discussed.

The shogunate only needs about 2-3 catties of raw silk and about 3 bolts of silk each year.

Silk needs to be processed by others, and the profit is actually not as high as Ding Yi's direct sales of raw silk, and it takes up space.

Therefore, Ding Yi still needs to process it in a factory. Although the profit is small, he can still make money.

Songpu sells about 1 catties of raw silk and [-] bolts of silk every year. This is the father-in-law, and Ding Yi must sell silk.

In this case, more than half of the goods he got from Xu's house can be sold out.

In addition, North Korea also needs raw silk and silk. He is sure that he can sell it for 2 to 3 catties, but the price in North Korea is not as good as that in Japan, so if possible, Ding Yi still wants to sell to Japan together to save the transfer.

"Next time let Seinfeld go to Japan, inform the big names, if you want to buy guns and guns, go with raw silk." Ding Yi is going to use this method.

"The shogunate knows, I'm afraid they won't be happy?" Ruan Siqing said.

"I don't care if he's happy or not?" Ding Yi said in a deep voice, "Do you really think that we can dig the silver mountain for decades?"

"Tokugawa Iemitsu is tidying up the interior, he has dealt with the big names, and he will come to deal with us soon, believe it or not?"

"The Japanese won't give up easily." Ding Yi said, "I'm also waiting right now."

"When I am strong enough, I must teach Japan a good lesson again." Ding Yi's eyes also became fierce: "Don't you realize that occupying other people's land, robbing other people's money, and playing with women from other countries will be very difficult. Are you cool?"

Ruan Siqing grinned and disturbed her head: "I have Miaozhu now, and I don't want other women."

"..." Ding Yi.

On June 6, Ding Yi went to Fujian and on June 11 to Quanzhou.

Accompanying Ding Yi at this time were 1 sailors from the Ruan Siqing Department of the 1000st Battalion of the Navy, 100 soldiers from Jia Dingyi, and more than 1400 sailors, totaling less than 15 and [-] ships.

When disembarking, Ding Yi asked Ruan Siqing to take Xu Miaozhu for a stroll on Quanzhou Street, and he brought six soldiers to the door.

The captain of the accompanying soldiers was Huang Bin, who was Xiang Huailai before, and then Xiang went out to lead the troops. The captain was vacant. Recently, Ding Yi promoted the vice-captain Huang Bin to the captain and a new vice-captain of the soldiers, Fei Youjie.

After a while, Huang Bin and five soldiers, accompanied Ding Yi, went to Zheng's Mansion with gifts.

The guard at the gate asked Ding Yi to wait, then turned around and went in. Not long after, someone went out.

It was Shi Yong.

Seeing Ding Yi coming, Shi Yong was slightly surprised, but quickly laughed: "It turns out that Vice President Ding is here, please, please."

Shi Yong politely asked Ding Yi to come in and sit down. He raised his head and saw that some of Ding Yi's personal soldiers had also followed in. He was stunned for a moment, and then served tea again.

Only then did he say that Zheng Zhilong was not here.

Damn, Ding Yi is quite speechless, if you say at the door that Zheng Zhilong is not here, I won't come in.

Ding Yi planned to leave.

"Deputy General Ding is here to see an official? Is there something wrong?" Shi Yong asked very easy-going.

"I want to go to Taiwan, and drop by Brother Zheng." Ding Yi smiled.

"What are you going to Taiwan for?" Shi Yong asked strangely.

"We have always done business with the Dutch, taking their sugar and selling raw silk to them to make a little money." Ding Yi also told the truth.

"Oh, that's it." Shi Yong nodded thoughtfully.

He quickly said: "We have changed a new flag here, and now each ship has to pay three thousand silver, and I will give you a leading flag in a while, and you will be able to travel unimpeded at sea."

"Then thank you, Brother Shi." Ding Yi said happily.

"You're welcome, you're welcome, we're all on our own." Shi Yong smiled and said, "Sit down for a while, and I'll come as soon as I go."

Ding Yi looked at his back thoughtfully, Shi Yong was very polite, but if Ding Yi remembered correctly, when he was in Lushun and Japan last time, he felt that Shi Yong seemed to have a problem with him.

Does he not know what he did wrong?But I can clearly feel that there are always people looking at me from behind.

Ding Yi sat there thinking, why does Shi Yong dislike me?I offended him?

However, Zheng Zhilong's victory in the Liuluowan naval battle established his status as the sea supremacy. In the last battle with the Dutch a few years later, the Dutch were defeated again and finally recognized Zheng Zhilong's unrivaled naval force. People have to buy flags every year to pass.

Ding Yi is jealous at the thought, Zheng Zhilong doesn't have to do anything, just sell and collect some money, and he can earn 1000 million a year.

And his subordinate Ruan Siqing used to take risks and run in the sea before earning less than 100 million yuan a year.

Fortunately, he recently conquered Japan and North Korea, which allowed his income to increase steadily, but it is still not as good as Brother Zheng.

This year and next year, Zheng Zhilong should go after Liu Xiang with all his strength. After Liu Xiang is wiped out in 1635, there will be no more enemies in this sea.

Ding Yi thought for a moment, Shi Yong came back with a flag and a long box in his hand.

This flag is quite big, more than one meter long, black all over, with a white tiger embroidered in the middle.

"This is our White Tiger Banner. With this flag, the seas are unimpeded, and no pirate will dare to touch you." Shi Yong's tone was full of pride. Although you Ding Yi is a powerful soldier, we are still the overlord when it comes to the sea. .

"Brother Zheng dominates the world and is invincible in this world." Ding Yi laughed and took it happily.

Shi Yong nodded triumphantly, and picked up another box: "I heard that your wife is happy, and the official once explained that this is a gift for you. I hope Vice General Ding doesn't mind."

"Thank you, thank you, I'm sorry." Ding Yi got married in Lushun, and also sent invitations to Zheng Zhilong, but Zheng Zhilong didn't have time to come, mainly because he was too far away, but Zheng Zhilong also sent a gift. Last time Ruan Siqing came over and told Zheng Zhilong Ding Mrs. Yi was happy, Zheng Zhilong laughed and said that she would give a big gift.

Shi Yong opened the box while talking, and Ding Yi kept watching him with a smile.

Sudden.

He stared, and found that Shi Yong's hands were trembling faintly.

Wow, Ding Yi stood up abruptly.

The situation on the field changed rapidly, Huang Bin reacted quickly, and almost coincidentally with another soldier, he stepped in front of Ding Yi and blocked him.

The other three soldiers drew their swords one after another, clanging, clanging, staring at Shi Yong fiercely.

The air seemed to be condensed, Shi Yong on the opposite side had an embarrassed expression, his face was red and white, he had not opened the box yet, and said in a trembling voice: "Deputy General Ding?" His eyes were full of bewilderment.

He glared at Huang Bin and the others in displeasure.

Huang Bin and others still stood in front of Ding Yi, Huang Bin's eyes were fixed on the box in Shi Yong's hand.

Shi Yong was stunned by the stares, and he also laughed dryly: "I knew that Admiral Ding liked firearms, and I got a short gun from Ouzhou, and asked me to give it to you."

After that, he slowly opened the box and took out the short gun inside.

Ding Yi's complexion suddenly became very ugly.

Huang Bin held the knife in his hand and stared at Shi Yong fiercely.

Shi Yong sighed in his heart, and smiled on the surface: "I heard from an official that this is called a wheel-wheel gun, don't light it, it's very powerful."

"Hahaha, okay, I like this gift very much." Ding Yi laughed from behind: "Huang Bin."

"Promise." Huang Bin took a step forward and reached out to take it.

Shi Yong's face was flushed, so he had no choice but to say: "Be careful, be careful, and be careful."

Huang Bin grabbed it with his hands and gave him a hard look.

Ding Yi looked at the so-called wheel-wheel gun calmly, but didn't take it over, and asked Shi Yong instead: "Can this gun be fired now?"

Shi Yongqiang calmed down: "Yes, yes."

Ding Yi glanced at Huang Bin. Huang Bin took a few steps forward, facing a pillar at the door: "Bang!" Sure enough, a gun went off.

Ding Yi really wanted to chop Shi Yong of the grass nun girl with a single knife.

He turned his head and looked at Shi Yong coldly. Shi Yong was also thick-skinned, but now he smiled: "This gun is okay."

"Thank you Brother Zheng for me, and thank you Brother Shi." After Ding Yi finished speaking, he clasped his hands together and said, "Farewell."

He turned around and hurried away with his soldiers, he was sure that Shi Yong wanted to kill him just now.
