When he returned to the residence, Zhao Xin saw Cai Yan and Diao Chan. Zhao Xin thought that although the matter was very important, there should not be any danger. Since he had promised to take her out to take a look, he might as well do it this time.
So he said to Diao Chan and Cai Yan,"Yan 'er, Chan' er, I might be going around in a few days. I don't know if you're interested."
Before he could finish his sentence, Diao Chan already knew that Zhao Xin was going to bring him and Cai Yan out. She quickly jumped out and held Zhao Xin's arm,"Brother, Sister Wenji and I are going too. You promised last time. "
Zhao Xin couldn't help but laugh." Chan 'er, you're too impatient. Did I say that I wouldn't let you go?" "
Diao Chan was shy and hid behind Cai Yan. Zhao Xin said to Cai Yan,"Yan 'er, what do you think? Elder Cai just came to Runan not long ago. Do you want to accompany Elder Cai more?" "
Cai Yan was hesitant in his heart, but he couldn't resist Diao Chan tugging at his clothes behind him, frequently gesturing, so he said,""Although Father has just arrived, we will live together in the future and have plenty of time to accompany him. This is a rare opportunity. Big Brother, you are so busy. I'm afraid it will be difficult to have such an opportunity in the future. Moreover, if I don't agree, I'm afraid that Sister Diao Chan will eat me alive. "
Zhao Xin smiled and said,"Since you all want to go, then make some preparations first. I'll inform you to go with me on the day I set off." "
Bringing Xu Chu, Hua Xiong, Xu Shu, and a thousand guards, Zhao Xin and the two girls left Runan. Their first stop was Nanyang. Zhao Xin had already calculated the itinerary in his heart. From Runan to Nanyang, then to Xinyang, then to Hefei, and finally to Shouchun. As there was nothing urgent on their way here, they were relatively calm. When they saw places worth visiting, Xin Zhao would go with the two girls to take a look. Along the way, the two girls had gained a lot of knowledge, but they also made a lot of jokes. However, Zhao Xin was always there to clean up after them. Without any worries, the two girls could do whatever they wanted. Seeing the two girls reveal their true nature, Zhao Xin was happy and did not stop them from having such thoughts.
When they arrived at Nanyang, Taishi Ci heard that Zhao Xin was coming to Nanyang and was already prepared to welcome him. Zhao Xin and his men had just entered the city when Taishi Ci and his subordinates came up to them.
Taishi Ci bowed to the crowd from afar and said,""Greetings, Lord! "
Zhao Xin saw that everyone had already arrived as soon as he entered the city. They had probably waited for a long time, and he felt bad. He quickly rushed over and added Taishi Ci,"Second brother, you and I are brothers, why are you so polite? It makes me feel bad. He waved his hand and said to the others,"You've worked hard. Get up quickly." "She pulled Taishi Ci and left with him.
When they arrived at Taishi Ci's office, Zhao Xin asked about the military affairs and the recruitment of soldiers after understanding the situation in Nanyang.
Before Taishi Ci could finish his sentence, Zhao Xin quickly stopped him,"Second brother, although you and I are called monarch and minister in name, we are brothers. There is no need to call me that between brothers. You should call me big brother like before. "
Taishi Ci saw Zhao Xin's determined expression and knew Zhao Xin's character, so he didn't dwell on this matter. "Big brother, there are twenty thousand soldiers and horses in Nanyang City. They have been trained for a long time and are very strong. Even so, I still remember your teachings and have never relaxed my training." Big brother, if you have time, I will arrange for you to go to the camp to take a look. As for the recruitment of new soldiers, it had just begun. However, many people had come in the past two days. The main reason was that although Big Brother was very strict with the army, the salary was relatively generous. Moreover, the treatment of soldiers was also very high. Therefore, when they heard that Big Brother was recruiting new soldiers, many people rushed to sign up. Big Brother would know when he went to take a look tomorrow.
Zhao Xin said,"Since Second Brother said so, I naturally trust him. I won't go to the military camp. Besides, I'm more familiar with military affairs." However, Second Brother needs to be more careful in Nanyang in the future to guard against the invasion of the Jing State army. As for the recruitment of new soldiers in Nanyang, I will personally go and take a look tomorrow. "Also, Second Brother, I brought Wenji and Diao Chan out this time. They mainly want to take a look around. Arrange for them to go around tomorrow. I won't accompany them." "
Taishi Ci quickly agreed. After they finished talking about business, the two brothers started to talk about the friendship they had shared during their separation.
The next day, Taishi Ci arranged for Hua Xiong, Zhao Xin, and his 30 guards to accompany Cai Yan on a tour of Nanyang. Seeing that Zhao Xin wanted to go to the recruitment office, Taishi Ci hurriedly expressed that he wanted to accompany Zhao Xin. Zhao Xin indicated that Taishi Ci did not have to follow him and let him handle the city affairs himself. He then brought Xu Chu and the others to the recruitment office.
When they arrived at the place, there were really a lot of people. There were so many that they had to send people to maintain order. Zhao Xin and the others came in disguise. Zhao Xin did not want to expose his identity, so it was impossible for him to go ahead and take a look at the specific situation. "Brother, why are there so many people here?" "
The man looked at Zhao Xin and said,"You're from another place, right? And I'm afraid you're not under the rule of General Zhao." "
Zhao Xin saw that person's expression and hurriedly said,""Yes, yes, I came to Nanyang from other places. "
The man said," Who doesn't know that Great General Zhao is a hero and benevolent? We commoners under Great General Zhao's rule have received a lot of kindness from Great General Zhao. When we heard that Great General Zhao wanted to recruit soldiers, which one of us didn't rush over to serve Great General Zhao? Since we have repaid Great General Zhao's kindness, we might even be able to achieve some fame under Great General Zhao." Moreover, Great General Zhao's army was rich in salary, and it was more than enough to support his family. For this salary, many people would probably fight to the death. "
Zhao Xin nodded to show that he understood. He thanked the person again and went elsewhere to find some people to ask about the situation. Seeing that the general situation was similar, Zhao Xin could not be bothered to ask anymore. He brought Xu Chu and the others back to the encampment.
Zhao Xin walked around the city and saw that Nanyang was doing well. He knew that Taishi Ci was very attentive and was very happy.
When he returned, he told Taishi Ci that he would be leaving Nanyang the day after tomorrow. Seeing that the grain was almost ripe, he instructed Taishi Ci to take care of the grain collection. The next day, he accompanied Cai Yan and the other two to stroll around the city for another day before bidding farewell to Taishi Ci and leaving Nanyang.
Zhao Xin was very satisfied with the general situation on the way to Shouchun. He praised the generals and civil officials under him.
When they arrived at Shouchun, Zhao Xin had already arrived at his destination. There were no major matters in the country at the moment, so he planned to stay in Shouchun for a while longer and let the two girls have some fun.
The next day, after settling the two girls, Zhao Xin, Zhang Yi, and the others went to the army to patrol. To be honest, Xin Zhao was very confident in Zhang's ability. However, since they were in Shouchun, Zhang asked Xin Zhao to check if there was anything wrong, so Xin Zhao went to check. Seeing how Zhang trained his soldiers like wolves and tigers, and how well he handled military affairs, Zhao Xin praised Zhang's talent.
When he went back, he asked Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin," My lord, Generals Zhou and Jiang have been training the navy day and night when they heard that you were coming. When you came to Shouchun, they didn't have time to welcome you. I apologize to you on their behalf. "
Zhao Xin said,"Jun is so open-minded, and Generals Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin have worked so hard for me. Is Zhao Xin an unreasonable person? I have to thank Jun, Generals Zhou and Jiang." "
"My lord," said Zhang,"shall we send for them?" "
Zhao Xin said,"No need. I'll just wait for them for two days. After two days, you can send someone to bring me to them personally. I'll also have two days of free time to take a good look around Shouchun." "
"My lord, do you want me to accompany you on a tour of Shouchun?" "
Zhao Xin said," I'm not patrolling. I'm just accompanying Wenji and Diao Chan for a walk. You can go and do your own things. Don't worry about us. Besides, if you follow me, I'm afraid everyone in the city will know who I am." "
After spending two days in Shouchun with Cai Yan and Diao Chan, Zhang Yi sent people over the next day. Zhao Xin, Xu Chu, and 50 guards went to the place where Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin trained their navy, leaving Hua Xiong and a large group of guards to protect the two girls.
When they heard that Zhao Xin had personally come to the water army stronghold, Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin hurriedly brought their men out to wait for him.
Seeing that the soldiers in the stronghold were neat and orderly, and that the ships were well-regulated, Zhao Xin, who did not know much about water warfare, knew that the two of them had spent a lot of effort on this army. As he watched, he did not forget to praise the two of them.
When the two of them saw that Zhao Xin had personally rushed over, they were moved. Now that Zhao Xin had praised their results, the two of them had the determination to swear their lives to serve Zhao Xin.
When they arrived at the camp, Zhao Xin asked,"Youping, Gongyi, it's been hard on you these days. I wonder what the navy looks like now?" "
Jiang Qin hurriedly replied," My lord, our army has four large ships that can carry three hundred people, ten warships that can carry a hundred people, and thirty to forty small boats. As the warships have just been built, our army has only trained on the ships for more than a month. However, since these soldiers have been trained on land for nearly five months, their bodies are very good. Moreover, when we choose people, we specially choose those who are proficient in water, so these people train very quickly. It is estimated that they will be able to meet the requirements of the lord in three to four months. "
In fact, Jiang Qin had said too much about the training time. According to the current training situation, it could be said that he would be able to form combat strength within two months. However, ever since Zhou Tai had seen so many incredible training methods by Zhang Yi's side, he knew that Zhao Xin was extremely strict with his soldiers and horses. Therefore, when Zhou Tai and Jiang Qin told them about what they had seen in the Zhang camp, the two of them made up their minds to train into a navy that could sweep across the Yangtze River. Therefore, the two of them were extremely strict with the soldiers during training. The two of them set an example and trained their troops day and night, afraid that they would let Zhao Xin down.
When Zhao Xin heard of this result, he was very happy. He thought that the two of them were really not for show. After praising the two of them, he passed down the order to reward the entire army. The entire camp was in a jubilant mood.
On that day, Zhao Xin stayed in Zhou Tai's water stronghold. A few days later, Zhao Xin had the time to consult Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai on the methods of water warfare. Seeing that their lord was so eager to learn, they were naturally happy to teach him. Gradually, Zhao Xin went from completely ignorant to having a rough understanding of water warfare, and from understanding to slowly becoming familiar with it. He was so happy that he almost forgot about his home when he interacted with the two of them and chatted with the soldiers in the camp.
When Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai saw how approachable Zhao Xin was, they felt that Zhao Xin was sometimes unfathomable. He was extremely perceptive and had a deep understanding of things. Sometimes, he had a sense of humor and liked to joke around. After a few days, the two of them almost treated Zhao Xin as a good friend.
