The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 648 I Will Do The Same
In the past two years, Ding Yi has often transferred their station, and the confidantes they promoted themselves are all Ding Yi's people, let alone they haven't followed them yet.

It is impossible to lead the soldiers away.

For example, Zhang Jing was the battalion commander in the first battalion, and promoted a few of his confidants to be the general manager of the first battalion. After a few years, Ding Yi transferred him to the second battalion.

None of the people over there were promoted by Zhang Jing, so even if they became the chief soldiers, it would be impossible for them to take away Ding Yi's soldiers.

Ding Yi makes random transfers every year, and President Qian transfers the general manager.

It is to make them not form a group and not organize.

There is only one regiment and organization for them, that is Dongjiang Town, and that is me, Ding Yi.

Besides, with Ding Yi's prestige in Dongjiang Town, no one can regret his status even if it is not adjusted like this.

But considering that in history, there have been too many such groups to make troubles. For example, the mutiny of Lao Zhao Huangqiao was not because of the help of a large number of brothers under him, and the mutiny of Lao Li Xuanwumen was due to enough brothers.

Ding Yi's promotion here has to go through his principal's lectures, and then he is divided and transferred. It can be said that except for Ding Yi, no one else can organize a group of more than three people to be with brothers. Right there.

After making a joke, Ding Yi straightened his face, and said slowly: "The general soldier given by the imperial court, you will follow it first when the time comes."

"However, in Dongjiang Town, you are still in your original position."

The two of course nodded.

"Besides." Ding Yi thought for a while: "Xu Bicheng has been in Japan for more than two years, and he is coming back in rotation."

"Xu Wei, you should go to Japan for two years."

"No." Xu Wei agreed without hesitation.

Many people had envious looks on their faces.

Shang Kexi started, there was no war in Japan, drinking and playing with Japanese girls, when Shang Kexi came back, he even married a Japanese official woman.

After Xu Bicheng passed away, he was supposed to come back in two years, but because the local Japanese woman gave birth to his son, he asked to stay for a few more months, so he hasn't come back yet, and he wants to come back when his son is older.

Now many people are still quite jealous, and there is no Master Ding to supervise them, how free they are.

But after the meeting ended, Xu Wei was a little gloomy.

Because he doesn't want to go to Japan.

He felt that Ding Yi might think he was old.

It turned out that Xu Dabao came out, and the oldest ones were Du Ruhai and Zhong Zhennu. Later, both of them were engaged in logistics.

Xu Wei became the oldest one in the army.

But he has been following Ding Yi for ten years.

When I first met Ding Yi in Xu Dabao, he was 30 years old, and he is now 40 years old.

From Xu Wei's point of view, when he is sent to Japan at this age, he will stay for another two years. After returning, won't he be retiring?

There are countless young and middle-aged generals in Ding Yi's army, and I am afraid that I, Xu Wei, will not have a place in the future.

Xu Wei returned home in a bad mood, and his wife, Mrs. Zhou, greeted her with a smile: "Master Ding?"

"?" Xu Wei was inexplicable: "What is Master Ding?"

"Just now, Lord Ding's personal soldiers said that they came to eat today, but they didn't come with you?"

"Ah." Xu Wei was taken aback, and immediately stood up excitedly: "Hurry up, get some more good dishes, do you have any food at home?"

"Is there any good wine, Mr. Ding seems to like to drink lighter?"

"Look, I'm ready to get you excited." Zhou said with a chuckle.

"Brother Xu." Ding Yi's loud laughter soon came from outside.

Then I saw Ding Yi with two soldiers, and the soldiers were carrying a lot of things, including wine, fruit, snacks, and accessories.

"Master Ding." Xu Wei's eyes immediately turned red.

In my memory, Ding Yi hasn't come to eat for several years. He used to go there often. Later, everyone became busier and Mr. Ding had more and more troops.

"There is no Master Ding today, only Ding Yi and Brother Xu." Ding Yi laughed loudly and patted Xu Wei: "Come on, brothers, come in."

Then there was laughter from behind.

Zhang Jing, Xiao Yongqiu, Ma Yue, Du Ruhai, Zhong Zhennu, even Du Ruhai from Dengzhou and Zhong Zhennu from Jeju were also called over at some point, and some old brothers from Xu Dabao all came.

Xu Wei's eyes were sour, and he couldn't hold back anymore, tears streaming down his face.

"Just now Dingtou said that from now on, we will have to get together at least once a month, but Lao Xu, you have gone to Japan, so we can only get together when you come back." Zhang Jing said with a smile.

"I will come back every year." Xu Wei couldn't help being excited.

All the brothers drank to their heart's content that night, many people recalled the battle of Xu Dabao, some drank too much, crying and laughing at other times.

Even Ding Yi was also infected, and it was rare for him to let go and call everyone a brother.

Over the years, some people may think that he has a high position and authority, and everyone is not as close as before.

Only after meeting Xu Manyun, Ding Yi suddenly realized that he had forgotten his old brother.

Fortunately, it is too late to make up for it.

After a few rounds of drinking, Ding Yi took Xu Wei's hand and said earnestly.

"Brother Xu, don't misunderstand that there is no war in Japan, it's just a leisurely thing."

"Japan is in chaos right now. Youemon died in battle last year, and Amakusa Shiro is now leading the rebel army to fight against the shogunate. It's hard to tell the winner. It's the best situation for us."

"How to balance them, neither let the shogunate win nor let the rebels win, this is a very difficult thing to do, only experienced and good generals like Brother Xu, I can use them with confidence."

Xu Wei thinks about it, the first one is gratifying, and the second Xu Bicheng is a relatively calm general in Dongjiang Town, who can even stand on his own.

I couldn't help feeling faintly happy.

Before leaving that night, Ding Yi and Xu Wei whispered for a long time. After Ding Yi left, Xu Wei was very proud and proud.

His wife Zhou was a little sad: "We are all going to Japan, what about Manyun and the others? Who will take care of her when she comes back from vacation."

The summer vacation is coming soon, and Xu Wei and Zhou are both going to Japan. They have two daughters and a son, both of whom are in school. The oldest, Xu Manyun, is already in university.

Originally, Chou didn't want to go, but Xu Wei didn't want Japanese girls, he just wanted to take his wife there, which was not bad.

"I made an agreement with Mr. Ding, and I will send him to live with him during the holidays." Xu Wei laughed.

"..." Mrs. Zhou.

Three days later, Xu Wei went to the army and selected the accompanying generals.

Ding Yi told him that he can use his confidant generals to be stationed in Japan. There are three thousand troops in Japan, three thousand generals, and two can be selected.

Xu Wei is going to take his subordinate Qian Boss Yang Yanchen and Qian Boss He Yongkun to go.

But he wasn't sure if the two of them were willing to go with him to Japan, after all, Japan had no wars to fight and no chance to make meritorious deeds.

But in Dongjiang Town, only by fighting can one make meritorious deeds, rewards and land.

So he called the two of them one by one for questioning.

He Yongkun entered the tent first, and when he heard that he wanted to go to Japan with Xu Wei, he hesitated, his expression was a bit perplexed, he didn't seem to want to go, but he didn't want to refuse Xu Wei's kindness. Cultivation is what makes us today, and we should listen to the general’s orders and go to Japan.”

Xu Wei secretly sighed, He Yongkun reluctantly agreed.

He would think of Ding Yi's words, my Ding Yi's soldiers and horses, you can take them away.

He Yongkun was also from Xu Dabao, he was Xu Wei's confidant back then, and later he fought several battles with Xu Wei, made many military exploits, and was recommended by Xu Wei every time.

But Ding Yi also met him several times, gave him a knife, interviewed him, and rewarded him with money. The year before last, Ding Yi made a big adjustment and assigned He Yongkun to Xiang Huailai's subordinate Ren Qianzong. Now he has been away from Xu Wei for two years. Wei's confidant, rather Ding Yi's confidant.

Xu Wei called Yang Yanchen again.

I feel that this person can be regarded as a real confidant.

Yang Yanchen joined Dongjiang Town only five years ago.

He used to be a hundred households in Andongwei, the capital of Shandong, and he and Xu Wei were friends from the same hometown in Yinan.

Later, he was assigned by Luo Yangxing to work as an undercover agent in Dongjiang Town and join Xu Wei.

But not long after, the relationship between Luo Yang and Ding Yi got better again, and Luo Yangxing didn't dare to say anything, so he temporarily broke the line.

Yang Yanchen, on the other hand, served as a battalion here with peace of mind, and made many military exploits along with his fellow villager Xu Wei.

"Congratulations to the general soldier, congratulations to the general soldier." Yang Yanchen smiled and clasped his fists as soon as he entered the tent.

"What kind of soldier is the chief soldier? There is only one general soldier in Dongjiang Town, and that is Mr. Ding." Xu Wei smiled and said, "Don't shout, I am now a general in Japan."

Yang Yanchen froze for a moment, then suddenly thought of his previous mission.

But Jin Yiwei has not contacted him for a long time in the past few years, but he only joined Dongjiang Town five years ago, and he has not yet gotten used to life here.

The officers here are not allowed to fight, and they rarely drink alcohol. The training is strict, and corruption is not allowed. These days, he is comfortable in Antonwei.

After thinking about it for a while, he finally couldn't hold back: "Master Ding is so unkind. After all, you are the general soldier of Dongjiang appointed by the imperial court. If you don't serve as the general soldier now, you will be sent to Japan?"

"Shut up." Xu Wei's face darkened: "Don't talk nonsense in the army. Master Ding has his own plans. Japan is also very good. I am willing to go."

Seeing that Xu Wei didn't seem very angry, Yang Yanchen was secretly happy, and quickly said: "Excuse me for being so humble and bold, to say something that shouldn't be said."

"Ding Yi is too dishonest. His current territory was won by his brothers."

"Look at how wary he is of the brothers below. In the name of everyone wanting to live in the school district, he transfers the generals every year."

"I followed you well, but I was transferred to He Xiaoche camp."

"All the camp owners will be in the camp, and there will be no confidants."

"In my Thousand Corps, none of the commanders and captains knew each other, and they didn't listen to my orders very much, and how to direct them."

"He has his own self-respect, ignores the imperial court, and is afraid that the brothers below will have self-respect, so he transfers brothers around all day long, it's really—"

"Ba..." Before Yang Yanchen finished speaking, Xu Wei's face darkened, and he slammed the table heavily.

"..." Yang Yanchen glared at him, feeling that Xu Wei's face was flushed, showing signs of getting angry, so he quickly shut up.

Xu Wei said slowly: "You are not from Xu Dabao, so it's normal that the commanders of each battalion know less about Qian Zong."

"In Dongjiang Town, most of the generals are from Xu Dabao. They are all good brothers. No matter where they are transferred, they are all brothers."

"Are you the one who joined me in Dongjiang Town in the seventh year of Chongzhen (1634)?"

When Xu Wei said this, his eyes flickered and he stared at him. If Ding Yi hadn't brought his brothers to his house for dinner two days ago, perhaps Yang Yanchen's words would have really worked.

But now, after the secret talks between Xu Wei and Ding Yi, his mentality is completely different. Don't let his subordinates be too strong, any lord will do this.

Ding Yi would do this because he was on the side of the lord and the emperor. If he was really on the side of an ordinary soldier, who would do this.

This is why Xu Wei wants to support Ding Yi. If I want to be emperor, I will do the same.

Yang Yanchen's heart trembled, and he whispered: "Yes, I have followed Brother Xu for five years."

Xu Wei gave him a meaningful look: "Master Ding is very smart, and Dongjiang Town is very united."

"You and I grew up together. Your father is also kind to my family. I will report it to Mr. Ding. You will be stationed in Japan in the future."

"Ah." Yang Yanchen's face became extremely ugly.
