The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 57 Ruan girl is very cute
At the same time that Ding Yi led people out of the city, Yuan Chonghuan was also asking Fang Daren in Ningyuan City.

"Yuxian, in your opinion, what about Zhenggang?"

Fang Daren pondered for a moment, and said decisively: "Heroic and resourceful, cunning and resourceful, calm and decent, he is a good general."

"Oh." Yuan Chonghuan smiled, it was rare for Fang Daren to speak so highly of a military attaché of the Ming army.

"Of course." Fang Daren's face changed slightly, and he continued: "Being greedy, plundering people's money, being too obsessed with property and silver, I'm afraid it won't be useful."

Ding Yi said that he borrowed money from Zhou Yong's widow Qin, but none of the generals at the scene would believe it. They all believed that Ding Yi bullied women and children and deliberately took other people's property.

Today, the governor's yamen asked for money, and Ding Yi was so lazy that he fought for two, and finally took away more than 4000 taels.

Fang Daren and Yuan Chonghuan already believed that Ding Yi was a greedy person.

"Hahaha." Yuan Chonghuan laughed loudly: "A man must have a good husband, either silver taels or a woman."

"It's only right that he has hobbies." If you, a leading general, don't love money or women, then what do you, Ding Yi, want?

Yuan Chonghuan laughed, feeling very happy for Ding Yi in his heart.

At noon, Ding Yi took people back to Xu Dabao.

At this time, he was wearing the new garrison uniform given by the governor's yamen, the uniform of a fifth-rank military officer, fresh clothes and angry horses, so majestic.

The only pity is that this set of off-the-shelf official uniforms is a bit too big and cannot be customized like the previous life, and it looks a little loose.

Seeing them coming back, the sergeants in the fort shouted in unison.

When Ding Yi finished talking about the rewards, everyone was extremely excited. After all, many people who fought bravely won the rewards.

Some people were not promoted, but also received silver rewards.

Ding Yi pulled back more than 4000 taels of silver, and the sergeants in the whole castle paid another 700 taels to each of them, which cost another [-] taels.

That night, pigs and sheep were slaughtered, and the whole castle was jubilant.

Early the next morning, Ruan Wenlong, Zhang Jing, and Zhao Dashan came to find Ding Yi and brought good news.

The three boats in the fort came back.

Ding Yi was overjoyed, this was the capital for his life.

Hurry up and take people to the beach.

From the back of the fort to the sea, it takes less than 3 minutes to ride a horse, and less than half an hour to walk, and you can see the sea from a distance.

On the sea, three black ships lay quietly.

Ding Yi went all the way, feeling that the terrain here is really good.

There are mountain gorges on both sides, and the Tartars would have to climb over the mountains if they wanted to come here. Zhang Cheng chose a high place on both sides to set up a fire platform, and soldiers were stationed every day and rotated.

The soldiers climbed up and looked far away, and if the Tartars came to attack, they could set off peak fire immediately.

It is easy for the Ming army to go up the mountain inside. If there are enough troops, they can immediately divide their troops to defend on both sides.

Ding Yi also climbed up the mountain to have a look afterward. It is basically impossible for the Tatars to attack over the mountain.

Xu Dabao should be the one with the best terrain and the most defensive fort in the Ning Jin line.

If there are more than a thousand troops, plus a large number of artillery and guns, Ding Yi is sure that he can resist the siege of tens of thousands of people in the later Jin Dynasty.

But in this world, there is no unbreakable fortress. If he could choose, Ding Yi still didn't want to stay here.

When we got to the beach, we saw a simple pier covered with dense crowds.

The brothers in the fort were sent in numbers, and they were carrying the goods that had just come in.

Ding Yi finally boarded these ships that belonged to him at close range.

Xu Dabao has three ships in total. One is the warship Haicang. As mentioned earlier, this is a medium-sized warship of the Ming Army Navy. Fuchuan.

Originally, it was equipped with four Franco cannons, three bowl-mouth guns, six Lumi guns, and several other firearms. It could accommodate 53 passengers, 9 sailors, and 44 soldiers.

Now in the hands of Zhang Cheng, mainly doing business in the offshore, equipped with two Franco cannons, two bowl guns, no other firearms, 12 soldiers, all of which are long spears and swords (also controlling artillery), nine sailors .

There are only 21 people on the ship, and the vacant space is used for loading goods.

The two merchant ships are medium-sized commercial blessing ships.

The biggest difference between him and the Navy's warship Fuchuan is that the deck is not as high as a city wall, and only has two floors.

Fuchuan was originally one of the commercial ships used by ocean-going merchants in the Ming Dynasty, but in order to support Juehua Island in the Ming Dynasty, a medium-sized Fuchuan was built for offshore use.

This kind of lucky boat has a smooth bottom and a U-shaped shape, which increases the cargo capacity. Its main function is to transport combat materials and food. nine people.

At this time, there are people coming and going on the pier, and everyone is carrying goods. Ding Yi looked at it and found that a large amount of grain and rice had been brought in. It was obvious that Zhang Cheng also attached great importance to grain. , First buy a batch of rice and come back.

In addition to grain and rice, there are iron materials, gunpowder, etc., which are used to supplement the fort.

When Ding Yi boarded a lucky boat, he saw someone catching pigs.

"There are pigs and sheep?" Ding Yi was dumbfounded, and when he approached, there was a foul smell. The pig and sheep seemed to be a little seasick, and he didn't know if he was dead or not.

This made my boat look like this, Ding Yi was so angry that he was half dead.

"When Mr. Zhang was alive, he often bought pigs and sheep." Ruan Wenlong said cautiously.

Zhang Cheng made money and often gave his brothers some meat. This is the reason why everyone supports him.

Ruan Wenlong saw that Ding Yi was becoming more and more dignified now, and his words became more cautious.

You can't do this in the future, Ding Yi thought in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud.

Not long after, two men and women walked up ahead.

"Siqing, Wenyan, come and meet Master Ding."

I saw a young man and a young woman walking here together: "Craftsman Ruan Siqing."

"Minister Ruan Wenyan."

"Meet Master Ding."

Ding Yi was stunned.

The man is about twenty, not tall, about 1.6 meters [-], looks gentle and very handsome, but his eyes are sharp, and there is a waist knife, he can be seen as a vicious person at a glance.

Women are about 1.6 meters and zero, which is relatively tall in the current Ming Dynasty.

She was wearing a long blue dress, which wrapped her figure, revealing a graceful figure. Her face was slightly dark, like wheat, and her eyes were as bright as jewels.

When she saw Ding Yi, she was not as shy as an ordinary girl. She stared at Ding Yi with wide eyes, and when she met Ding Yi's eyes, she smiled slightly, and a lovely smile bloomed on her left forehead. Dirt.

Obviously, this is a pretty girl.

This is Ruan Wenlong's son and daughter.

His wife was from the Ming Dynasty and gave birth to a pair of sons and daughters who are proficient in several languages, are good at doing business at sea, and can read and write.

This Ruan Wenyan grew up on a boat and ran around with her parents. She was outgoing and bold, and she dared to look directly at Ding Yi without being shy.

"Wenyan." Ruan Wenlong felt something was wrong, and immediately scolded Ruan Wenyan.

"Oh." Ruan Wenyan stuck out her tongue playfully, she looked extremely cute, then she shrugged her shoulders, tried to imitate the little ladies of the Ming Dynasty, bent slightly, bent her body, and said softly: "Slave Ruan Wenyan, I pay my respects to Master Ding." .”

Ruan Wenlong smiled wryly, and hurriedly said: "My little girl grew up in the sea, and it's really rude to run around with grass people."

Hearing that they can speak several languages ​​and can read and write, Ding Yi felt great, and laughed: "They are all from our own family, so there is no need to be polite."

"Brother Ruan is very calm, Miss Ruan is very cute, hahaha, let's go and have a look."

Ruan Wenyan heard Ding Yi say that she was very cute, she opened her lovely big eyes, and her face was full of joy.

Ding Yi was walking towards the stern at this time, wanting to stand on the sea and look at the sea.

The generals behind him wanted to follow, Ruan Wenlong turned his head and looked at everyone quietly.

Xu Wei suddenly thought of something and stretched out his hand to block everyone.

Zhao Dashan began to think about it, and quickly stopped Song Fei and others.
