The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 63
Ding Yi shook his head: "Giving money is not a panacea."

"Some people have a big appetite. You give fifty, but he still wants five hundred. Some people take silver taels, but they are indifferent and will not help you with anything."

"There are also some people who are upright and resolute, with a breeze in their sleeves. There are thousands of people in this world, and not everything can be useful with money."

Zhao Dashan keenly grasped the point, and hurriedly said: "My lord, how do you distinguish between these people, is it useful to give money?"

"I can't tell the difference," Ding Yi said with a smile.

The guys looked at each other.

Ding Yi continued: "I only know that most people in my Ming Dynasty can use silver to communicate."

"So give it to anyone you see."

"Ten out of ten, there are always seven or eight that are useful. Even if they are useless, it is only a small loss of silver."

"Don't be afraid of wasting money, after all, our efforts are likely to be multiplied and multiplied in return."

Most people nodded their heads half-understood, only Zhao Dashan seemed to be chasing something.

That night, Xu Dabao's soldiers and horses built simple fences, and most of the soldiers lived in tents.

There are also those who have no tents and live in dilapidated houses.

Ding Yi didn't choose a tent, but found a larger house. Although half of it collapsed, there was still half of it to live in. It felt better than a tent.

During the meal, Zhao Dashan, Zhang Jing, Song Fei, Li Zhongyi's four cronies, and Jia Zhong Zhennu all ate in his room.

Ding Yi personally stewed a chicken, made a hot pot, made two jars of wine, Qin Nan fried a few side dishes, and everyone gathered in a circle, eating happily and lively.

The generals were drinking and eating meat, while talking about the battle of the day and various things in the queue training, it was very lively.

After drinking half of the wine, Ding Yi raised his glass and said slowly: "After drinking today, everyone will start working tomorrow."

The generals are puzzled, what else is there to do?
Zhao Dashan quickly put down his wine glass and listened seriously.

"Zhong Qianhu, I heard that you and my adoptive father were sailors in the past."

Zhong Zhennu nodded: "At that time, I was the boss under Mr. Zhang (equivalent to Xiaoqi)"

"Do you know any generals in the naval battalion on Phi Island in Lushun?"

"This side is Dongjiang Army, I'm not familiar with it, but Denglai Navy, there is a fellow from the same township who is already President Qian."

Ding Yi was silent for a while: "Starting tomorrow, each of you will take turns, and take ten taels of silver and five or six clever brothers around the island every day. At noon, you will order snacks and restaurants, order better, and eat a lot." Drink up."

Everyone listened intently, feeling novel.

"While drinking and talking, if you want to talk about how strong our Xu Dabao soldiers are, they will be fully paid."

"For example, whoever is so-and-so, after the battle, the gold will be promoted to a hundred households, and how much reward silver will be taken, but none of you will get the head, and you will suffer a big loss."

"There is fish and meat every day, and I eat and drink a lot."

"Also, the officials said that the land will be divided in the future, and the women will be happy."

Everyone was dumbfounded after hearing this, what is Mr. Ding trying to do, poaching the corner of Dongjiang soldiers?

"Understood." Zhao Dashan took the lead and said: "We are telling the truth anyway." At the same time, I was thinking, is Master Ding's talk about the future division of land, is it true or not?

Zhang Jing gave him a blank look, your family is telling the truth?And he was furious in his heart, every time he was preempted by Zhao Dashan.

"What if someone really comes to vote?" Zhong Zhennu asked in surprise.

"Of course we can't accept it." Ding Yi said solemnly: "We are now a guest army, and we cannot have conflicts with Dongjiang's brothers."

"Although it can't be accepted, the brothers in Dongjiang have heard a lot, so they naturally think of us. If there is any conflict in the future, they may not be willing to do their best. They must always leave a way out for themselves."

Everyone seemed to understand, but only Zhao Dashan could tell that we are guest troops now, but if we were stationed in Lushun, we would not be guest troops.

This is a good job, a few people go out in turn every day, and they can eat and drink with public funds.

"I'll be the first one tomorrow, hahaha." Zhang Jing laughed.

The next day, before dawn, the officers and soldiers on the island got up early and started running around the fence outside the camp.

Ding Yi took the lead, followed by Song Fei and others. Everyone was wearing armor, and the gun soldiers also carried guns.

When running in the fort a few days ago, everyone was still not used to it. Now, after running for a few days and resting on the boat for two days, the effect of running again this time is better than in the fort.

Now that the training has just started, Ding Yi doesn't let them run much, about two 1000 meters a day (one in the morning and one in the evening).

After running, do prone weights, one hundred per person, divide into three groups at the beginning, and gradually increase later.

Prone weighing is very simple, and it is a standard that everyone can do after doing it a few times.

After resting for a while, he began to stand at attention.

All the officers and soldiers stood still, just in such a posture, unable to move at all, and whoever moved would be served with military sticks.

When they first practiced in the fort, both Seinfeld and Zhang Jing were beaten ten sticks, and then everyone became honest.

After standing for an hour, they disbanded and had breakfast.

At this time, Xu Dabao's soldiers were very happy, because they had nothing to do next.

And the officers will be trained by Ding Yi's team.

Li Zhongyi was the only one who didn't need to participate in the queue training. He led the gunners to practice reloading and aiming.

Other soldiers can move freely, but cannot leave the barracks.

Some people will practice swords and guns, while others will do nothing and watch the officers train in formation.

This is very new to them. On weekdays, it is a good thing to meet officers in training and soldiers to watch the excitement from the sidelines.

So there are soldiers who happily watch the officers training on the sidelines every day.

Zhang Jing led a few soldiers out of the camp today, and the rest of the officers were in formation.

Zhang Jing took people out for a day, and then came back after having dinner out in the afternoon, everyone was drunk.

At this time, the camp had just eaten, and after a half-hour rest, I started running and continued for 1000 meters.

After running, it is still prone to weighing and standing for one hour.

When Zhang Jing found Ding Yi, he was overjoyed and said that he would bring out a soldier named Lu Chao today.

This guy is quite clever. When he met a group of Dongjiang soldiers on the street, he heard that the accent was from the same village, so he went up to make connections. After asking, he found out that everyone was from the same village.

Lu Chao fell into a panic, and several Dongjiang soldiers who blew it almost wanted to join the camp on the spot.

Fortunately, they remembered Ding Yi's words and did not dare to accept it.

Afterwards, Zhang Jing also invited them to have a feast of big fish and meat, and the Dongjiang soldiers were very excited.

When Ding Yi heard this, it was a good idea.

Almost all Dongjiang soldiers are from Liaodong, and Xu Dabao is also from Liaodong, so there is no guarantee that there will be fellow villagers in there.

So starting tomorrow, everyone will be reminded to go out and pay attention to whether there are fellow villagers.

Ding Yi also reminded everyone earnestly: "Use fellow villagers to introduce fellow villagers. There are many fellow villagers in the camp. We don't know each other. We can ask fellow villagers to introduce us. In this way, we will get to know more and more people."

Although everyone didn't know why Master Ding wanted his brothers to know so many fellow countrymen, everyone knew that Master Ding's work must be useful.

In the next few days, Ding Yi and the others did not go there, but trained in the camp, and at the same time asked a small number of troops and their families to reorganize and recuperate the barracks.

Every day, some people take turns to eat and drink with the company's public funds, win over and make friends from the same country, and help them brag by the way.

On the [-]th, the second ship of troops arrived, and all the mid-level officers, except Du Ruhai, also arrived.

There were more people in the barracks, and it was more lively.
