Chapter 199: Magnificent and generous Zhao Gongzi
When the official ship arrived at the entrance of Dasheng Bay, he was stopped by the patrolling gun ship.
Although the ship is hung with the banner of Kunshan County, Xishan Island is not under Kunshan County, but the industry of Jiangnan Company.
Although the defenders on the island are still under the banner of Kunshan Gunners' Battalion, they have been renamed the "Jiangnan Company Security Brigade" internally.
In addition to changing the name, the composition of this army has also undergone tremendous changes.
After completing fifty days of recruit training, Jin Ke divided the original gunman battalion into two. He sent Tong Zi to power 100 gunmen back to Kunshan, recruited newcomers to join the battalion training, and formed the de facto second battalion of Gunman battalion.
The remaining 300 gunmen, plus 100 veterans of the Qi family, and 300 mine soldiers supported by Beijing Xishan Company, formed a security brigade of 700 people.
The brigade has four squadrons under its jurisdiction. One of them has two hundred people, all of whom are the most capable personnel, responsible for defending the most important Beidao.
Because Jiangnan Building Materials Company, Jiangnan Cement Field, Security Brigade Department, and Dasheng Bay Wharf are all on the North Island.
The second squadron has 100 people, responsible for the protection of Zhongdao, mainly the Jiangnan coal mine.
The third brigade has 100 people, responsible for the protection of the South Island, mainly the Jiangnan Quarry.
There is also a 200-person water squadron equipped with fifty gun ships, responsible for patrolling the entire waters around Xishan Island.
The captain is also served as Jin Ke, manager of the security department of Xishan Company. The four squadron leaders are all from the Qi Family Military Banner General, and they are actually useless.
Each squadron has ten to twenty squadrons. The captains are all veterans of the Qi family. Whether they are gunmen from Kunshan County or mines supported from the north, they can be suppressed.
As the saying goes, birds do not fly without heads, and beasts do not do without heads. With the former soldiers of the Qi family army as the leader and with a salary of twice the original, the security brigade quickly completed the transformation of identity and entered the state, both in training and patrol and were meticulous.
Compared with the loose regular army of the Ming Dynasty, they are already considered elite.

When the official ship was led to the dock, Xiong Dianshi saw Mr. Zhao wearing a gauze hat and a white shirt standing on the pier waiting for them.
Secretary Ma held an umbrella for the young master, Hua Bozhen and Jin Ke stood on his side, and behind him were twenty burly men wearing black warrior robes, cowhide boots, wrist guards, and Japanese swords.
It is majestic and makes people dare not get close to it.
This is Mr. Zhao’s private guard, a man from Caijiaxiang in Yishui.
There is also a first squadron security guard wearing a yellowish-colored suit on the outside, responsible for the periphery of the outside.
Such a domineering show was not what Mr. Zhao wanted, but he has offended too many people recently.
Therefore, his father and senior executives of Jiangnan Company decided unanimously to upgrade Zhao Hao's security to the highest standard.
Seeing this exaggerated scene, Xiong Dianshi felt that this was the case. This is the style that the young master of Jiangnan who can suppress Huating Xu on the left and Jinling Xu on the right should have.
Before he could put down the pedal, he jumped down from the boat, bowed deeply, and politely to Zhao Hao and said, "Young Master, I'm lucky to have fulfilled my mission."
"Hahaha, Uncle Xiong has worked hard all the way." Zhao Hao smiled and helped him stand up and said, "Sorry, sorry, I remembered later, I didn't give you more funds. I must have suffered, right?"
"Fortunately I met Yu Jiachang." Xiong Dianshi smiled bitterly, thinking that he had indeed forgotten.
"Oh? Old Man Yu." Zhao Hao slapped his forehead and said, "I forgot to ask you to find him. By the way, there are also County Magistrate Zhang, Second Brother Hua, Lord Hai. I am actually quite connected in Nanjing."
"..." Xiong Dianshi had a dark line in his head, and now he was hiding a hindshot. What's the use?
Mr. Zhao also felt that he was sorry for Lao Xiong, so he changed the subject with embarrassment: "By the way, where are our young masters?"
"Young Master, you are here!" Now it was Wang Bantuo and the three constables who showed their faces in front of the young master. The four of them tied up Xu Bangning in the middle and took them off the boat very professionally.
"Haha, my grandfather, we're meeting again."
Zhao Hao smiled and looked at Xu Bangning who was tied into rice dumplings.
Last year, Mr. Zhao was still very weak at Weijixian. Although the young master came to apologize, he did not dare to humiliate him too much.
After thinking about it, Mr. Zhao always thought he was regretful, and the opportunity to make up for his regret finally came...
"Hey, why don't you talk?" He lifted Xu Bangning's chin with the handle of the fan and said teasingly: "Aren't you very bold when destroying my Kunshan embankment? Why did you pretend to be a grandson at this time?"
"Zhao!" Xu Bangning's face turned blue and white, and finally swallowed the swear words to his mouth, lowered his head and admitted to his timidity:
"Young Master Zhao, I was confused for a moment. If you don't remember the villain's fault, just think I'm a fart and let me go."
"Yeah, I'm quite conscious of the current affairs." Zhao Hao couldn't help but smile and said, "But it's useless for me to forgive you. It's only 300,000 people in Kunshan nodded."
As he said that, he ordered Xiong Dianshi and said, "Let's go back to the dike section he destroyed and arrange a public trial meeting to see what everyone means."
"The people definitely hope to build him into a cement pier and put him on the dike and be despised by others to serve as a warning!" Xiong Dianshi said murderously.
"Well, it's quite creative." Zhao Hao laughed.
Xu Bangning was so scared that his face turned green. At this time, he finally remembered that his elder brother had come, and hurriedly turned around and shouted, "Brother, save me."
"Oh." Then I saw an older man who was somewhat similar to Xu Bangning, who also got off the boat, bowed deeply to Zhao Hao, and then leaned over in public and knelt in front of him.
"In the future, Xu Bangrui, I apologized to Mr. Zhao and the elders of Kunshan for my brother."
Zhao Hao dared not let him kneel for a long time. In two years, Xu Pengju died. This is the real Duke of Wei, and he is deeply trusted by two generations of kings, but he cannot easily make enemies.
He quickly helped Xu Bangrui up with both hands and said, "Brother, why are you? You are you, he is him, so you don't have to be humiliated for this sinner."
Xu Bangrui felt relieved when he heard this and thought to himself that Mr. Zhao valued the incense and did not confuse me and Xu Bangning.
It seems that I am really wise to ask Xiaozhi to become a disciple.
He stood up with gratitude and said, "Shame, my family is unfortunate, and such a sin has occurred. My father was so angry that he was so angry that he ordered me to escort him to let the prince do it."
After a pause, Xu Bangrui expressed his opinion: "In addition, our Xu family is willing to compensate ten times the losses caused to Gui County."
"Hey, Duke Wei is really wise and wise. No wonder he is a role model in the world. He has been the only one with a saint for fifty years." Zhao Hao smiled and said to Xu Peng.
"Thank you, Young Master Yaliang." Xu Bangrui was completely relieved. As long as Zhao Hao didn't hold his father, he would do whatever he wanted.
"Let's go, let's go to the camp to talk." Zhao Hao intimately invited Xu Bangrui to the military camp and said, "If I had known you were coming, I would have let Xiaozhi come with me."
"The dog son was lucky enough to have three lives, but he actually got the young master to put the door walls in. It was a great blessing." Xu Bangrui said this sincerely, almost saying that it was my blessing.
Chapter completed!
