Chapter 138: The Future Commander of the Navy

When the train arrived in Tai'an, Zhao Tong and Zhao Xin got off the carriage together, originally Zhao Xin was going to Dengzhou to take a boat, but since he met Zhao Tong, he naturally had to spend a few more days, anyway, the matter of going to the Wa Kingdom was not particularly in a hurry, and he had never been to Mount Tai, so he could just take this opportunity to see it.

For Zhao Xin to stay, Zhao Tong did not say anything special, of course, on the surface he was also very enthusiastic, and deliberately took time to accompany Zhao Xin to climb Mount Tai, along the way to help Zhao Xin introduce the beauty of Mount Tai, although he was also the first time to come to Mount Tai, but he had made a lot of preparations in advance, so he knew everything about Mount Tai and the surrounding situation.

After eating the famous Taishan pancakes for a few days, and also tasting the most famous tofu banquet in Taishan, Zhao Xin also had time to leave, after all, he also had his own things to do, Zhao Tong also said that he could get together again when he had time in the future, so Zhao Xin finally reluctantly boarded the train.

Dengzhou is not too far from Mount Tai, it only takes half a day to arrive by train, here is the most prosperous port in the north of the Great Song Dynasty, there is no one, because many southern transport ships will dock here, and then move the goods on the train to the northern inland, it can be said that here is the transportation hub of the north and south shipping, so when Zhao Xin arrived here, he saw a scene of busy traffic, and the prosperous scene in the city can almost be compared with the city of Tokyo.

After coming to Dengzhou, someone from the Imperial City Division immediately came to contact Zhao Xin, and then arranged for him to come to the military port next to Dengzhou Port, at this time there was already a fleet waiting for him in the military port, and when he saw the general who led this fleet, he couldn't help but shout in surprise: "Brother Cheng, why are you?" ”

"Haha~, I knew it would scare you. Isn't it a feeling of surprise? I saw that the young general in his twenties in front of him also shouted at this time, and his young face was full of cynical smiles, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like a general who commanded the navy.

This young general's name is Li Cheng, who is Zhao Xin's eldest brother Zhao Jia's best friend in the military academy, Li Cheng is also from the Jiangmen, although their Li family is not as prominent as the Cao Gao family. But also a famous general, and Li Cheng is extremely talented in military affairs, after graduating with Zhao Jia, he joined the Nanyang Fleet to fight everywhere, and soon accumulated merit and was promoted to the commander of a fleet, and he is also the youngest fleet commander in the navy, known as the future naval commander of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Haha~. It's really startled, I haven't seen Brother Cheng for several years, but I often hear Brother Cheng's name, the name of the future naval commander of the Great Song Dynasty has long been spread all over the capital, and I heard that the generals in the capital regard Brother Cheng as an idol! Zhao Xin also laughed at this time, Li Cheng was a friend of his eldest brother Zhao Jia, and he used to go to the Yue Wangfu to play, so he was very familiar with their brothers. Now that we can meet here again, I naturally have the joy of meeting my old acquaintance in another country.

"What bullshit future commander. Now the top brass is about to die of me, otherwise they wouldn't have transferred me from the South Sea Fleet to the North Sea Fleet! Li Cheng waved his hand indifferently, he didn't care about the name of the future commander, and even if his family hadn't been forcing him, maybe he would have gone to Europe Zhao Jia to soak those blonde beauties.

"Huh? Brother Cheng, what trouble did you cause to make your boss so angry? Zhao Xin couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. He knew Li Cheng's character, and knew that although this brother was talented in military affairs, he was very willful and perverse, and he could do anything when he came up, and it was even more common to cause trouble.

Here's what to say. After several reforms, the navy of the Great Song Dynasty was mainly divided into three fleets, of which the North Sea Fleet mainly defended the coastal waters of the Great Song Dynasty, and there were also the Nanyang Fleet and the Expeditionary Fleet, of which the Nanyang Fleet was mainly responsible for the attack and defense of the Nanyang area, and the Expeditionary Fleet was newly established, mainly responsible for the strategy of the Great Song Dynasty and Tianzhu, Africa, Europe and other places. Because the responsibilities of the three fleets are different, so the strength is not the same, among which the North Sea Fleet is only responsible for defense, so the strength is not strong, and there are few opportunities for meritorious service, compared with the South Sea Fleet and the Expeditionary Fleet, but they are strong and have many opportunities for meritorious service, and the generals of these two fleets are naturally promoted quickly, Li Cheng was actually transferred from the South Sea Fleet to the North Sea Fleet, which must have caused trouble and was demoted.

"What is the meaning of causing trouble, I just fell in love with the daughter of a chief in Nanyang, and then accidentally had the crystallization of love, but the chief father of the other party went crazy and had to fight to the death with us, which led to a small trouble." Li Cheng said lightly at this time.

Zhao Xin was a little embarrassed when he heard this, with his understanding of Li Cheng, I am afraid that only he can do this kind of thing, speaking of which Li Cheng is lustful as life, he used to have a reputation for romance in the capital, and later became an adult, and this guy is not taboo, even the Nanyang natives can go down, it is said that the women raised in his family have more than 100, black and white of all races, which makes people unconvinced. Thinking that this lustful guy was going to go to the Wa Kingdom with him, Zhao Xin couldn't help but be a little worried.

"Brother Cheng, last time my eldest brother wrote to me and said that Brother Yang seems to have gone to Europe as well, I heard that there are many beautiful women over there, why don't you go there?" However, Zhao Xin is also a young man, and soon said in a joking tone, the Yang brother he was talking about was Zhao Jia's other friend Yang Shiliang, and Yang Shiliang also went to Europe some time ago to help Zhao Jia stabilize the situation there.

As soon as Zhao Xin mentioned this, Li Cheng immediately showed an angry expression and said: "Do you think I don't want to go to Europe, it is not only your eldest brother's territory, but also all blonde and blue-eyed beauties, I want to go in my dreams, originally I and Brother Shiliang have agreed to go to Europe, but I somehow let my father know about this matter, but he said that I have a great future in the Nanyang Fleet, and if I go to the expeditionary fleet, I will have to start all over again, so I have to force me to stay, and he also said that if I dare to go to the expeditionary fleet, He was going to expel me from the house, denying me as a son, and my mother went to me to cry for several days, how do you think I should go to Europe? ”

When Li Cheng said at the end, he also showed a helpless expression on his face, although he was lustful, he was actually a filial son, so he couldn't bear to refuse his parents' request, so he could only stay, but his lustful character still caused a big disaster, and almost let a powerful chieftain in Nanyang start a war with the Great Song Dynasty, for which he was relegated to the North Sea Fleet.
