Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

Yingkou, the headquarters of the Third Division of the First Army.

Ding Yigang came out of the regiment health department with a bandage on his left arm.

When attacking Yingkou City, Ding Yi's regiment and battalion acted as the vanguard of the third division and were the first to attack the city. When he was fighting in the street with Sakura, he was shot by Sakura.

But it was also his luck. The bullet just grazed his left arm and left a scar on his shoulder. Now that he has been given medicine, he is fine.

As soon as Ding Yi returned to his battalion headquarters, he sat down on the chair.

He was really a little tired today. He had been busy fighting since he entered the city early yesterday morning. Until yesterday afternoon, after the battle ended, he began to set up defenses and place the wounded.

Until an hour ago, he had used Sora to tend to his wounds.

Ding Yi sat on the chair, leaning back on the chair, ready to take a short rest.

Now is a war period, and there may be combat missions at some point. As a battalion-level commander, he needs to maintain his best condition at all times.

Especially on the battlefield, any decision that is not calm-minded will directly affect the life and death of the entire battalion.

Therefore, he needs to seize every moment to rest.

Leaning back on the chair, Ding Yi quickly entered a state of half-asleep and half-awake.

Suddenly, Ding Yi's whole body was shaken, and he suddenly woke up.

He looked around blankly at first, and then his face showed a hint of loss, regret, and a little bit of resentment.

He had just had a dream about his mother and a man wearing an Imperial Navy uniform.

He felt sorry for his mother, because his mother fell in love with a man who was not worthy of her love, and that man was the object of his hatred.

It was he who abandoned their mother and son, allowing them to live in a southern village. His father, on the other hand, went to the imperial capital to become an official. In just a dozen years, he was promoted from an ordinary imperial officer to an imperial officer. Reached the position of Governor of the Imperial Navy.

Then there was a huge defeat, which ruined his reputation and finally committed suicide out of fear of guilt.

At that time, when Ding Yi heard that his incompetent father, whom he had not seen for more than twenty years, died, he was very happy. But when he saw that his mother was actually grieving for this man, his happiness disappeared instantly.

He couldn't understand why his mother still cared so much about everything about this man after so many years.

His mother will be happy for him when he gets promoted. When he was defeated, his mother would also feel sad and sad for him.

When his father committed suicide, his mother also became seriously ill.

When his mother was dying, she held his hand tightly and told him that his father was wronged and that his father would not shake his heart for this little money.

There must be a hidden secret in this, and his mother hoped that he could find out everything.

In order to fulfill his mother's last wish, Ding Yi angrily joined the imperial army, and was then selected into the Beijing Camp. Later, he entered the First Army Corps.

He followed Mo Shoucheng from the beginning and acted as his adjutant. Ding Yi was actually very satisfied because he knew that his commander was very popular with Prince Rui.

By following Mo Shoucheng, he didn't have to fight his way through the hail of bullets.

But Ding Yi understood very well that if he had been following Mo Shoucheng, he would always be Mo Shoucheng's lieutenant and would not have access to the secrets of the empire's top officials.

But if he can rely on his military merit and be promoted to a senior general, then he may be exposed to the secrets about his father.

So, he left his comfortable environment and asked Mo Shoucheng to join a battalion. He wanted to start as the battalion commander and follow his own path. Just like his father Ding Xuanren, he climbed from the bottom of the soldier to the position of governor of the Imperial Navy step by step.

That's right, Ding Yi's father was the former Navy Governor, Ding Xuanren, who failed due to corruption because the Imperial Navy did not have enough ammunition, cutting off the rise of the Empire.

As the illegitimate son of the empire's biggest sinner in recent years, Ding Yi didn't care at all that anyone knew about his relationship with Ding Xuanren.

He even joined the Army for this purpose instead of the Navy where his father was alive.

Thinking of this, Ding Yi slowly stood up again, walked to the window, looked at the leaves that had turned yellow, and sighed deeply.

"Winter is coming soon again. It seems that I can't go back to visit my mother's grave this winter." Ding Yi sighed and walked to a wooden shelf.

There was an enamel basin on the wooden shelf. He poured some hot water from the thermos on the side and washed his face to wake himself up.

After wiping his face, he looked in the mirror again, adjusted his clothes, and finally walked to the door and opened it directly.

A wooden door is like a barrier, isolating a quiet room from the hustle and bustle outside the room.

When Ding Yi walked out of the room, all the soldiers in the room noticed Ding Yi's presence.

Then all the soldiers put down their things and stood at attention.

Ding Yi glanced around and nodded with satisfaction.

"Free to move around, be careful! We are still in a war zone!" Ding Yi warned, and then walked towards another office.

The soldiers around him breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Ding Yi walking into the office.

Ding Yi put too much pressure on them. Although Ding Yi is very brave and a very strong combat commander, his serious face and an expression of "don't let strangers enter" made all the soldiers in the first battalion afraid of Ding Yi.

Ding Yi naturally knew this, but he felt that as a commander, it was not a bad thing to make the soldiers afraid. I didn't even think about changing it.

After Ding Yi walked into the office, the first thing he saw was a row of telegraph operators, who were sending or receiving telegrams there.

Ding Yi walked directly through the telegraph room without staying too long, walked to the innermost door, and walked in without knocking.

"Reporting to the camp, this is the telegram just received from the division." In the room, Ding Yi's adjutant was holding a document and preparing to put it on his desk.

After he saw Ding Yi, he said something directly to Ding Yi, and then handed the telegram in his hand to Ding Yi's hand.

"Master, does he have any instructions?" Ding Yi did not answer the telegram from the adjutant, but directly bypassed the adjutant, walked to the tea room in the room, and brewed coffee for himself.

"The camp, the division has asked us to march towards Gaizhou as the vanguard of the division in an hour." The adjutant said directly to Ding Yi without reading the content of the message.

After hearing his adjutant's words, Ding Yi paused for a moment, then picked up the brewed coffee and took a sip.

"Let's gather the team and get them ready. The team will set off in half an hour!" Ding Yi savored the aroma of the bitter coffee in his mouth, blinked, and then said to his adjutant.

"Yes!" The adjutant said nothing more. He saluted Ding Yi and left his office.
