The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 535
At the end of September, the imperial decree of the imperial court's award arrived in Dongjiang Town,
Ding Yi's offering of prisoners this time shocked the capital and the world again, and Chongzhen had no choice but to reward him.

Ding Yi, the commander-in-chief of Dongjiang Town, was promoted to General Dragon and Tiger because of his meritorious service.

The ruling and opposition parties were in an uproar.

According to Ding Yi's request, Ding Yi's subordinates nominated several generals and deputy generals.

Zhang Jing, Xu Wei, Xiao Yongqiu, etc. are all deputy generals, Shang Kexi, Ruan Siqing, Ma Yue, Mao Xin, etc. are all participating generals.

Shen Shikui, the former deputy general of Dongjiang, didn't mention it. Wu Duogu found Shen Shikui afterward and wept bitterly. He felt that he was a burden to him. Since then, he studied calligraphy seriously and passed the exam.

Ding Yi didn't get promoted this time, he was promoted from the second-rank military attache to the second-rank military attache as the commander-in-chief, and he was also awarded the second-rank honor of military attache to the army.

There are both ranks and honors, but there is no change in the actual position.

But what caused an uproar in the government and the public was that the position of Governor Zuo and General Dragon and Tiger was also held by someone many years ago.

Neither Ding Yi nor the people in Dongjiang Town knew about it, but Xu Fuzuo reminded Ding Yi later.

Damn it, Ding Yi also cursed at that time.

It turned out that Nurhachi was also the left governor of the Ming Dynasty, General Dragon and Tiger.

What does Chongzhen mean?
You Daming was repeatedly entered by the Qing soldiers, and you were beaten like shit, and your face was gone. I killed the Qing soldiers, but was it wrong?

Chongzhen promoted Ding Yi to be General Dragon and Tiger, and Governor of Zuo, which is really a bit disgusting.

In the future, if Ding Yi opposes the Ming Dynasty like Nurhachi, Chongzhen can say openly, look, I saw that Ding Yi was not a thing back then.

If Ding Yi is willing to be a loyal minister of Ming Dynasty in the future, Chongzhen will say, look, Ding Yi is different from Jiannu, the same General Dragon and Tiger, Ding Yi is my loyal minister of Ming Dynasty.

Anyway, after Chongzhen received this award, whatever he said in the future would be right.

This promotion can be said to be Chongzhen's spiritual attack on Ding Yi. Ding Yi understands that he and Chongzhen are getting farther and farther away. No matter what he does, it is impossible to change Chongzhen's bad impression of him .

Unless, unless Ding Yi dares to go to the capital and surrender all military power.

As a result, he will definitely be killed like Yuan in the future.

Historical experience tells Ding Yi that none of the generals in the late Ming Dynasty who had no military power survived three episodes in the local area.

No matter how good you are, as long as you make a mistake, Chongzhen can kill you.

At that time, Sheng Mu was picked up in Dengzhou, and the man who picked him up was Tongzhi Lu Chao, the commander of Lingshan Guard who was also promoted this time.

Lu Chao's previous position in the imperial court was Wang Xuzhai's Qianhu.

Of course, he was not there all the time, and other people were responsible for hoarding troops and farming over there.

This time Ding Yi won a great victory, Ding Yi repaid several thousands of previous households, and hundreds of households wanted to be promoted. The reason was that they all went out with the army, or escorted food and salaries, or participated in the battle.

In fact, it's a bit outrageous. When will the soldiers and horses of the Denglai Guard and the battalions follow you in Dongjiang Town?

Dan Ding Yi clearly asked for credit for his subordinates.

So the court approved two.

Lu Chao was promoted to Lingshan Guard Commander Tongzhi.

Yan Xiong was promoted to Tongzhi, the commander of the Jiaozhou battalion.

Lingshanwei was under the management of Jimo Camp in the early Ming Dynasty, and Jimo Camp is now the Jiaozhou Camp.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Jimo Camp was moved to Jiaozhou and changed to Jiaozhou Camp. Lingshan Guard formed its own guard. The former site was Xiahe Village, the left site was Lingshan Guard City, and the rear site is now the Jiaozhou Camp.

Chongzhen was willing to agree to these two places, because they were both in the lower right corner of Denglai, at the intersection with Qingzhou Prefecture.

Moreover, Jiaozhou camp and Lingshanwei used to belong to the same Jimo camp, and these two places are now under the control of the imperial court.

This is also in Ding Yi's arms. Although Jiaozhou Camp and Lingshanwei are both within the imperial court's territory, he will find a way to get them here.

It's just that for this promotion, neither Lu Chao nor Yan Xiong are chief officials, so after receiving the imperial decree, they both went to report and then came back.

They received the imperial decree for Ding Yi in Dengzhou, saying that Ding Yi was not in Lushun, and those who delivered the decree did not need to go.

The eunuch who delivered the decree was furious. Some of the main generals refused to accept the decree and asked others to take over. Dongjiang Town was promoted to a general this time, and there were several lieutenants, but none of them showed up.

But it's useless to get angry, Lu Chao stopped them in Dengzhou directly, please go back.

The imperial court came with a reward of about 2000 taels of silver, and Lu Chao naturally took it without hesitation.

But this time they reported thousands of beheads, counting 30 taels per head, tens of thousands.

The imperial court only took out 2000 taels, which was like sending beggars away.

It can be seen from this that the relationship between the imperial court and Dongjiang Town is actually extremely bad, even worse than that between the imperial court and Zu Dashou.

Of course, Zu Dashou is definitely not as disobedient as Ding Yi. His basic principle is not to go to the capital, but the imperial court is more obedient.

So the result of the entry of Qing soldiers this time is that although Ding Yi won the battle and Chongzhen also rewarded Ding Yi, the relationship between the two deteriorated further.
-
end of June.

A fleet of boats slowly approached Tainan City Port.

Zhao Dashan stood on the shore with the civil and military officers of the senior staff, and saw Song Fei standing far away on the bow with the binoculars.

When Song Fei got off the boat, the two hugged each other tightly.

The two brothers have not seen each other for a long time, and they are very happy at this moment.

At the beginning, the two ran out from Daxing Fort together with Ding Yi, and they were also old brothers of the same pier. In recent years, one has focused on working in the intelligence department, and the other has specialized in running at sea. The two brothers get together more often than they do.

In the past two years, Song Fei specially traveled to Japan and Lushun. After running for two years, he was a bit bored and wanted to fight, so Ding Yi helped him take turns. Song Fei asked the senior officials to accompany Zhao Dashan, and Ding Yi agreed.

This time he was drawn to Zhao Dashan's side, and Song Fei's second battalion of the navy brought all of them to the senior staff.

Before Seinfeld and Fran brought fifteen ships to the Second Battalion of the Navy, specializing in selling guns and cannons to Japan and North Korea. On the return journey, they brought the minerals of Iwami Silver Mountain, some special products of North Korea, once every two or three months. , can earn more than 70 yuan for Ding Yi every year.

In the past year or so, the two shipyards in Lushun built ten more ships, and bought a few 6-meter merchant ships in Songjiang, Nanjing and other places, and made up fifteen ships. Before Song Fei came, it was just established. In the [-]th Battalion of the Navy, Fran was in charge of taking over Seinfeld's line of Lushun, Japan.

Seinfeld and fifteen ships from the Second Battalion came to Dayuan.

In this way, Zhao Dashan now has 5 ships from the 14th Battalion of Xu Erxian's Navy, and 2 ships from the 15nd Battalion of Song Fei, a total of 29 ships.

"Where is the Xilao Jing?" Zhao Dashan asked.

Under Ding Yi, the strongest navy, the real navy is the third battalion of the Xilao Jing.

This guy originally had more than 50 ships, most of which were warships, and many merchant ships were also converted into warships.

Later, 4 ships were assigned to Shen Zhixiang to form the [-]th Naval Battalion to guard Jeju Island. Because there was no war on Jeju Island, most of the strongest and largest warships were in the hands of Xi Laojing.

"He will come in two days." Song Fei said, "I heard that Zheng Zhilong is going to pay money now?"

Zheng Zhilong received 30 silver per ship, while Xilao had to pay more than 3 silver for more than [-] ships.

Zhao Dashan grinned: "Zheng Zhilong wants to save face. He said it in public, so he will naturally do this. Tell Xi Laojing not to make a big fuss. He won't come to collect it, and he won't count our ships."

It turned out that when they handed over the money to Zheng Zhilong in the first half of the year, they got the news from Zheng Zhilong. When Zheng's ship was going to Luzon, they heard from the Spaniards that the Dutch had assembled a dozen large ships from the mainland to this side, ready to take revenge. , Take back the big staff.

The Spaniards had a grudge against the Dutch, and it must have been revealed to Zheng on purpose.

When Zhao Dashan heard about it, he also sent a boat to Luzon to sell sugar, and he heard the Spanish say it again.

The city of Zeelandia was the commercial stronghold of the Dutch in Asia. Without the city of Zeelandia, the Dutch would have no interest here. Therefore, the East India Company did not hesitate to go to war and gathered heavy troops again.

Zheng Zhilong said that he would not help, but he still kindly passed on the news.

After all, in his eyes, as Ding Yi said, everyone is Ming people, why should we let Fan people occupy our land?
"We are now paying Zheng Zhilong 4000 taels of silver every month, [-] a year, which is regarded as paying the boat fee." Zhao Dashan said.

"The surname Zheng is so fierce that we have to pay him?" Song Fei was a little dissatisfied.

Master Ding swept Houjin, conquered North Korea, defeated Japan, and was invincible. He actually wanted to pay Zheng Zhilong?
"Zheng Zhilong clearly stated that each ship has to pay [-] yuan. We can discuss it, and we didn't count the number of our ships." Zhao Dashan patted Song Fei: "He is the eldest brother of Master Ding. is also normal.”

"Why?" Song Fei was very upset, and he couldn't bring his troops to Fujian.

"With his three thousand warships and one hundred thousand soldiers." Zhao Dashan smiled wryly: "Now we can't get him, so it's not shameful to pay him."

Pilut thought for a while, and said in half-familiar Chinese: "Actually, it's not that we can't fight him now."

"Although he claims to have three thousand warships and one hundred thousand soldiers, the actual number is not so many, and most of them are small boats."

"Our big ships are not much less than him, and each ship has more guns than him."

Xu Erxian shook his head: "It's not enough now. You Dutchman had more guns than him at the beginning. What's the use? You can fight. If you win, it will be a miserable victory. By then, the navy that Master Ding has been running for seven or eight years will be gone. No, it doesn't make any sense."

Pilut blushed slightly, but Zheng Zhilong defeated them many times.

"It's not that there are more wars than guns. He has more sailors than us, and has more experience in naval battles than us." Xu Erxian said: "Wait another three to five years, I think I can almost fight with them."

Zhao Dashan said with a straight face: "Don't make wild guesses, Zheng Zhilong is Master Ding's elder brother, we know people, we don't want to fight people who know people."

Everyone can't deny it.

Ding Yi now has more than 100 ships in the navy, but he really can’t fight Zheng Zhilong. Even if he wins, he may lose everything. The loss of a ship is a trivial matter. The loss of a sailor who has worked hard for seven or eight years is nothing. Seven or eight years.

In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that if they really wanted to start a fight with Zheng Zhilong, as long as Mr. Ding took five thousand infantry to Fujian, Zheng Zhilong would have to run away.

Lord Dante obviously does not intend to turn against Zheng, he must be Lord Ding's eldest brother, Lord Ding is too benevolent.

"Don't talk about Zheng Zhilong, let's talk about how to beat the Dutchman, Pilut, you talk about it first." Zhao Dashan said.

"..." Pilut looked embarrassed.
