Chapter 87 Changguang Coal Mine
On the Science No., Zhao Gongzi's hearty laughter was heard, and the waterfowl that landed on the mast were startled and flew away.
"Hahaha, Brother Hua just thinks about good things." Zhao Hao laughed loudly and said: "There is really endless free labor, what kind of chaos does the country have to become." ”
"That's what Childe said." Jinke sits in a straight position, resting only half of his butt on the chair. Some regrets: "It's just that there is a lack of opportunities for actual combat, and these new security guards can't really grow up." ”
"Don't worry, there are opportunities." Zhao Hao looked at the golden surface of Taihu Lake and said, "This Taihu Lake is still a little smaller. ”
Jinke's eyes flashed, and he knew that the time had come for him to leave Xishan Island.
Childe is too small to even Taihu Lake, and the only thing that can satisfy his appetite is the sea.
As the leader of Jiangnan Security, Jinke naturally knows that the top priority of the group's first five-year plan is to go to sea.
It's just that he didn't expect Childe to be in such a hurry, he just finished the meeting at the end of the year, and he had to start it as soon as the year began.
"I'm going to transfer you to Chongming." Zhao Hao simply ordered: "Tong Zigong will also take the second team over to take over the defense of the third team in Chongming, and also conduct sea training." ”
"What is the task of the subordinates?" Jin Ke asked in a deep voice.
"'Jiangnan Education' will set up a navigation college in Chongming, with me personally serving as the dean and you serving as one of the vice deans." Zhao Hao said lightly: "The goal of the academy is to train qualified sailors and coast guards, and the executive vice president is none other than you, the first general in the Qi family's army in water warfare back then." ”
Although Jin Ke is quite tired of the title of Childe's 'Coast Guard'. But he still stood up and took the order.
"You have three days to hand over the defense of Xishan Island and the teaching team to Macron." Zhao Hao ordered again: "If he can't be busy alone, you can see who is suitable and set up a team with him." ”
Although the incident happened suddenly, Jin Ke still thought calmly, and then suggested: "Xishan Island is a fundamental matter, and my subordinates want to ask Gongzi to send another candidate other than Zhejiang soldiers to take on the important task." Macron can be his deputy. ”
"I have to have such an expert in my pocket?" Zhao Gongzi couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Then at least arrange a prison guard." Jin Ke Zhengse said: "Although this is the child's incomparable trust in us, but if it goes on like this, it will inevitably not be beautiful......"
"Didn't the Inspection and Supervision Commission send a team to station?" Zhao Hao took a sip of tea and said with a noncommittal smile.
"The inspection and supervision team can only inspect and supervise, not give orders, and for ordinary companies, this strength is sufficient. But for the security forces, it is not enough. Jin Ke wanted to break up with Zhao Hao, but Zhao Gongzi resolutely refused to admit that he raised the army, so he couldn't say a lot of words.
"I have written down Brother Jin's words, and if there is a suitable candidate in the future, he will be put into the security company." Zhao Hao looked at Jinke with gratitude.
In fact, he had already thought about this question. But after thinking about it, I don't plan to rebel, but I need an elite and strong army that can cut waves overseas and even compete with foreign powers.
He knew very well how terrifying the erosion of the army's combat effectiveness and morale was by the civilian officials leading the troops and the eunuchs supervising the army.
Therefore, rashly mixing sand into the security team is, at least for now, worth the loss.
As long as he doesn't rebel, Zhao Hao is still confident that his subordinates will remain loyal. But it is also necessary to guard against the security team becoming monolithic and forming a powerful interest group......
Although from the fate of the Ming Dynasty, the emergence of a powerful force group is not necessarily a bad thing, but if it affects its long-term layout, it will outweigh the losses.
'But the quality of the officers and men of the Qi family is too outstanding, where can I find military talents who can be on a par with them and can be used by me? Zhao Gongzi didn't have a clue for a while, so he simply didn't bother for a while.
The road is still long, and the future will be talked about in the future.

The sailors on the Science were skilled in handling the sails, and at noon they arrived in Changxing County, on the west bank of Taihu Lake.
Under Jinke's guidance, the windy white sailboat traveled several miles south along the shore of the lake to the mouth of the river leading to the county seat.
"This Xiaqi River is named after the Xiaqi Temple where Emperor Chen Wu lived in seclusion, and it connects to the southern moat of Changxing County." As an excellent general, knowing the area around your defense zone is the most basic homework.
Jin Ke introduced to Zhao Hao: "The water of the south moat is brought from Hexi. Hexi comes from the mountains west of the county seat, which is very consistent with Gongzi's description. ”
"Hmm." Zhao Hao nodded happily and said, "The name Hexi is right, you can find what we are looking for by following it." ”
"But Childe, the Science is too big, I'm afraid it won't be able to enter the Xiaqi River, so let's change to an accompanying clipper." Jinke suggested again.
Zhao Hao, who has always been good-natured, obviously had a somewhat ugly face, which made Jin Ke chuckle in his heart, and he didn't know where he had committed the taboo of his son.
"No, no matter how big you are, you can only get in......" I only heard Zhao Gongzi mutter, as if he couldn't accept the fact that the river in front of him was too narrow.
However, Zhao Hao obediently got off the Science, changed to the light fast boat of the security team, and entered the Xiaqi River.
After the estuary, which is about ten meters wide, the river narrows sharply, and it is only five or six meters at most. Zhao Hao asked people to measure the depth of the water again, and when the hammer was put down, it was only more than one meter deep...... Although it is the dry season, such a slender and shallow river simply cannot handle the heavy responsibility of carrying coal.
Sure enough, there were only small sampans on the river, not to mention cargo boats, and even larger fishing boats did not dare to sail in.
It wasn't until he saw Changxing County that Zhao Hao slapped his head and suddenly realized: "I remembered!" ”
But when they asked him what he remembered, he was silent.
Because what Zhao Hao remembered was why this river was completely different from the Changxing Port in his memory.
Huzhou people call the artificial river a port, so Changxing Port is a canal, and it was only in the seventies of the twentieth century that it was widened and dug deep for large coal ships to pass.
In this Ming Dynasty Longqing period, Changxing Port has not yet been born, and the original river is not enough to see. A few years ago, there was a disturbance in Taihu Lake, and the county also specially recruited people to block the river, deliberately making it impossible for slightly larger boats to pass.
Thinking of this, Zhao Gongzi's heart was exhausted, and his confident smile reappeared. When it comes to engineering, he claims to be the second in this world, and no one dares to call him the first.
~~
The flat-bottomed clipper went upstream, and by the time it reached the bottom of the mountain, it became slower than on foot.
The group abandoned the boat and landed, followed the river and entered the mountain.
Zhao Hao had foreseen that this would be the case, so he left Secretary Ma and Qiaoqiao in Changxing County.
In addition to the guards, he also brought several experienced coal miners from the research center, and the coal mine on Xishan Island was found by a few of them.
So except for Zhao Hao, all of the people in the group were iron feet and scuds. Although Zhao Hao was empty-handed and wearing comfortable rubber-soled sneakers, he still struggled to keep up.
Gao Wu wanted to carry him on his back, although he hadn't carried it before. But after the New Year, the son is sixteen, and he is no longer a child, and he really has no face to back.
ps. The third more, and one more. Ask for a commuter pass!
