On the Science Number, Mr. Zhao's hearty laughter came from the Science Number, and the water birds that fell on the mast spread their wings and flew away.

"Hahaha, Brother Hua is just thinking about good things." Zhao Hao laughed out loud: "There are really endless free labor, what is the country going to be in chaos."

"What the young master said," Jin Ke sat straight, only putting half of his butt on the chair. He said with regret: "It's just that there is no opportunity for actual combat, and these new security guards can't really grow up."

"Don't worry, there are opportunities." Zhao Hao's eyes turned to the golden waters of Taihu Lake and said, "This Taihu Lake is still a little smaller."

A light flashed in Jinke's eyes, knowing that it was time to leave Xishan Island.

The young master even thought Taihu Lake was small, and the only thing that could satisfy his appetite was the sea.

As the top leader of Jiangnan Security, Jinke naturally knew that the top priority of the group's 15th Five-Year Plan was to go overseas.

But he didn't expect the young master to be so anxious. The meeting was just over the end of the year and he would take action as soon as the year begins.

"I'm going to transfer you to Chongming." Zhao Hao ordered with a straightforward order: "Tong Zigong will also take the Second Brigade to take over the defense of the Third Brigade in Chongming, and also conduct maritime training."

"What is my subordinate's task?" Jin Ke asked in a deep voice.

"'Jiangnan Education' will set up a Navigation Academy in Chongming. I personally serve as the dean, and you are one of the vice presidents." Zhao Hao said lightly: "The goal of the college is to cultivate qualified sailors and coastal security teams. The executive vice president must be you, the general who was the first in the Qi family's naval battle back then."

Although Jin Ke was quite amused and laughed at the title of Prince's "Coastal Security Team", he still stood up and received his order.

"You have three days to hand over all the defense and teaching teams on Xishan Island to Macron." Zhao Hao ordered again: "If he can't be busy alone, see who is suitable and set up a team with him."

Although the incident happened suddenly, Jin Ke still thought calmly and suggested after responding: "Xishan Island is fundamental. My subordinates want to ask the young master to send another candidate from Zhejiang soldiers to take on the important task. Macron can be his deputy."

"I have to have such an expert in my bag?" Mr. Zhao couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Then at least arrange a military supervisor." Jin Ke said seriously: "Although this is the young master's great trust in us, it will inevitably be unhappy if it continues..."

"Didn't the Procuratorate and Supervision Commission send a team to settle in?" Zhao Hao took a sip of tea and said with a smile without comment.

"The inspection and supervision team can only inspect and supervise, and cannot issue orders. For ordinary companies, this strength is enough. But for security forces, it is not enough." Jin Ke wanted to break it up with Zhao Hao and said, but Mr. Zhao firmly refused to admit that he was raising an army, so many words could not be spoken of.

"I'll write down Brother Jin's words. If there is a suitable candidate in the future, they will be included in the security company." Zhao Hao looked at Jin Ke thankfully.

In fact, he had already considered this issue. But after thinking about it, he did not plan to rebel, but he needed an elite army that could break through the waves overseas and even compete with the great powers.

He knew very well how terrifying the erosion of military combat effectiveness and morale by civil servants and eunuchs and supervisors.

So it would be better to mix sand into the security team at least for now.

As long as he does not rebel, Zhao Hao still has the confidence to keep his subordinates loyal. But he must be wary of the security team becoming a solid piece and forming a powerful interest group...

Although it is not necessarily a bad thing to appear as a powerful force group in terms of the fate of the Ming Dynasty, if it affects one's long-term layout, it will be more than worth the loss.

'But the quality of the soldiers of the Qi family is too outstanding. Where can I find military talents who can match their position and use them for me?' Mr. Zhao had no idea for a moment, so he simply stopped getting upset.

The road is still long, let’s talk about what will happen in the future.

~~

The sailor on the Science Number was skilled in sailing and arrived at Changxing County on the west bank of Taihu Lake at noon.

Under Jinke's guidance, the cool white sailboat traveled south along the lake shore for several miles and then arrived at the mouth of the river leading to the county town.

"This Xiaruo River is named after the Xiaruo Temple where Emperor Wu of Chen lived in seclusion, and connects to the southern moat of Changxing County." As an excellent general, it is the most basic task to know the area around his defense zone.

Jin Ke introduced to Zhao Hao: "The water from the southern moat is drawn from Hexi. Hexi comes from the mountains west of the county town, which is very consistent with the young master's description."

"Well." Zhao Hao nodded happily and said, "Hexi's name is right. You can follow it and find what we are looking for."

"But young master, the Science Number is too big, I'm afraid I can't get into the Ruo River. It's better to change to the accompanying Clippers." Jin Ke suggested again.

Zhao Hao, who has always been good at doing things, obviously had a look of ugly expression, which made Jin Ke feel a little shocked. He didn't know where he had violated the young master's taboo.

"No, no matter how big it is, you can get in..." Mr. Zhao murmured, as if he could not accept the fact that the river channel in front of him was too narrow and shallow.

However, Zhao Hao still got off the Science Number obediently, transferred to the lightweight clutch of the security team, and entered Xiaruohe.

After passing the estuary of more than ten meters wide, the river narrowed sharply, at most only five or six meters. Zhao Hao asked someone to measure the water depth again. When the hanging hammer was put down, it was only more than one meter deep... Although it is dry season now, such a slender and shallow river cannot take on the heavy responsibility of carrying coal.

Sure enough, there were only small sampans coming and going on the river. Not to mention cargo ships, even larger fishing boats dared not enter.

It was not until he saw Changxing County that Zhao Hao slapped his forehead suddenly and suddenly realized: "I remember it!"

But everyone asked him what he remembered, but he kept silent.

Because what Zhao Hao remembered was why this river was completely different from the Changxing Port in his memory.

Huzhou people call artificial rivers a port, so Changxing Port is a canal, and it was expanded and dug deep in the 1970s for large coal transport ships to pass through.

During the Longqing period of the Ming Dynasty, Changxing Port was not yet born, and the primitive river channel was not enough. A few years ago, the Taihu Lake caused Japanese pirates, and the county specially recruited civilians to silt the river channel, deliberately making it impossible for slightly larger ships to pass.

After understanding this, Mr. Zhao's heart was filled with all his heart, and his confident smile reappeared. When it comes to engineering, he claims to be the second in this world, but no one dares to be the first.

~~

The flat-bottomed clutch went upstream and when it reached the foot of the mountain, its speed became slower than walking.

The group abandoned their boats and landed on the mountain along the river.

Zhao Hao had already foreseen that this would be the case, so he left Secretary Ma and Qiaoqiao in Changxing County.

In addition to guarding, he also brought several experienced coal mining masters from the research center, and they found the coal mines on Xishan Island.

So except for Zhao Hao, all of them were covered with iron-legged scabies. Although Zhao Hao was empty-handed and wearing comfortable rubber-soled sneakers, he still struggled to heel.

Gao Wu wanted to carry him on his back, although he had not cared him before. But after the Chinese New Year, the young master was sixteen and was no longer a child. He really had no face to carry him.
