Chapter 834: On the Yellow River
The reason why Ji Xiang was panicked was because of his words a few days ago, when Zhao Jin and his partners discussed things and had lunch together, when chatting after the meal, Ruhui mentioned that Chen Huang's wedding date was approaching, this was a happy event, everyone was happy for Chen Huang, Ji Xiang smiled and said, "After our big victory this time, the second brother will get married when he comes back." ”
It's just a casual sentence, Chen Huang was also said to be embarrassed, no one expected Zhao Jin to lose his temper, and asked Ji Xiang not to say that quite harshly.
In front of his partners, Zhao Jin has very little temper, even if he is stern, he will understand the reason, this is the first time that he has been punished without teaching.
Everyone thought that Zhao Jin was a little irritable when he was approaching the war, and Chen Huang even said that this family matter was not in a hurry, and Zhao Jin's answer was also very strange: "Family affairs should be done, and whatever day is set, but don't say that it is too unlucky to come back and get married."
This makes everyone confused, but seeing that Zhao Jin is so serious, everyone habitually feels that it is not trivial, and they all do it.
The team didn't go out for long, a few horsemen rushed over from the east, and the cavalry who was walking outside the brigade stopped and immediately let them go, and Zhao Jin from a distance already knew who was coming.
When they rode to the front, they all turned over and dismounted, and one of them was Wang Zhaojing, who had already gone to Yunshan Temple the day before yesterday to check the materials and the construction of the fortifications there, and it was said that he would not be able to come back today.
"Big brother, fifth brother, I wish the horse success and victory" Wang Zhaojing stood on the side of the road.
Zhao Jin and Ji Xiang both dismounted, Ji Xiang returned the salute with a smile, and Zhao Jin said in a deep voice: "The plan has come to this point, and the grasp is getting bigger and bigger, just wait for the good news." ”
"Big brother, if it becomes natural, it is the best, if it doesn't work, big brother should think about the overall situation." Wang Zhaojing said solemnly.
A few months after the news of Wang Youshan's arrest and imprisonment spread, Wang Zhaojing was in torment all day long, and he didn't care about any decorations, and at this time, he looked like a man in his thirties.
Hearing his words, Zhao Jin punched Wang Zhaojing in the chest, and said: "Think towards a good place, you take a good look at your home, and I will go back if I win."
After saying that Zhao Jin got on the horse, Wang Zhaojing fell to the ground again and saluted the advancing brigade.
Although Zhao Ziying had its own fleet, it was always very troublesome for the cavalry to cross the river, and Ji Xiang first arranged a team to escort Zhao into the river, and the boat was controlled by the Cai family himself.
"Master Jin will definitely win this time." Cai De, who operated the boat, flattered, and Zhao Jin stayed with him to see how he controlled the boat.
Regarding the wishes for victory, Zhao Jin has heard too much these days, just smiled and nodded, Cai De shouted that the boatmen were busy, and continued: "Jin Ye has accumulated great virtue, this dragon lord and the gods and Buddhas in the sky are also watching, and they will definitely win."
The waterways of the Yellow River are dangerous, and the boatmen are very superstitious about the Dragon King of the Yellow River and the gods and Buddhas in the sky, and it is not surprising that Cai De said this, but Zhao Jin was a little puzzled, and said what to accumulate virtue for no reason.
"Master Jin, the little ones often walk the Yellow River, and they know the danger of our river."
Dangerous? Zhao Jin looked at the surface of the river, the water flow was very gentle, and he couldn't see anything dangerous at all, and Cai De continued: "When the water was controlled, several big stones in the Yellow River were lost, the river slowed down, and the sand and soil carried in the water flow sank, making the bottom of the river higher and higher. ”
Cai De said this truth, Zhao Jin understands, the Yellow River carries sediment continues to silt, making the river narrower and shallower, in case the upstream water potential becomes larger, I am afraid it will cause floods.
"In those years, we people on the water were afraid of this, and when it rained, we were afraid of disasters."
Maybe it's because I always think about it on weekdays, as soon as I talk about this topic, Cai De gushes endlessly, Zhao Jin is also attracted by this topic, looking at the river, but he can't feel the danger that the other party is talking about, looking at the appearance of the two banks, the river seems to be a little narrower than before.
"Into the master to benefit the accumulation of virtue, in the winter to repair the dam and dig the river, there are so many ditches to divert water, so get it, even if the water is big, it is not as dangerous as before, along the ditch will be divided, the river dam also works, the river sediment has also been remediated, now we sleep peacefully on the water, the original silver did not dare to sell the land, but now everyone does not want to worry about the river, they all want to buy a Zhuangzi to live comfortably for the rest of their lives." Cai De said with a grin.
Zhao Jin originally built water conservancy and rectified the Yellow River, the purpose was to let Xuzhou have more water to irrigate the land, let his grange have a bumper harvest, and produce more stable products, but he didn't think about it so much, listening to Cai De say this, only to realize how much benefit is it to unintentionally plant willows this time, the Yellow River flood has always been a disaster for the people in the basin, and what he did can really be said to benefit Xuzhou.
"Since the opening of the Jia River, the canal is not in our Xuzhou, our Xuzhou is dilapidated, everyone doesn't know when it is a head, I didn't expect to make our Xuzhou prosperous again." Cai De said in a chattering voice.
"Don't be in a hurry to go ashore and enjoy your happiness, I will build you more ships, you will be of great use in the future." Zhao Jin replied to his last sentence.
Cai De shouted twice at a few sailors, and hurriedly went over to pull the sails and steer, and after the arrangement, Cai De said to Zhao Jin: "Please rest assured, the little ones can't help Jin Ye much, but the small ones on the water must come desperately, and there is no ambiguity." ”
Zhao Jin smiled and nodded, turned his head to look around, the fleet was normal everywhere, although the Cai family of the Yellow River was also a subordinate of Zhao Jin, but there were not many opportunities to deal with Zhao Jin, Cai De was very restrained and nervous in front of Zhao Jin, not only did he not relax after a few words, but he felt more restrained, when he didn't usually deal with it, he subconsciously always felt that a young man in his early twenties, no matter how strong he was, he couldn't get there, but he was really close to him, but now the other party's usual words give people pressure.
Restrained and restrained, Cai De still couldn't help but say: "Jin Ye, we must win this time, our good days in Xuzhou depend on Jin Ye." ”
I prayed and blessed before, but at this time, I couldn't help but tell the truth, after all, it was the officials and soldiers of the imperial court, or the strong town of Beidi that guarded Gyeonggi, and the Zhao Ziying was only a local township brave regiment training after all, and it was actually normal for Cai De, the periphery of the Zhao Zi Battalion, to be apprehensive.
"It's going to win." Zhao Jin's answer was very simple.
When the boat arrived on the north shore, Zhao Jin and the mounts of the guards around him had already been prepared, while the others had to wait, and Xu Bende had already brought the children of the Xu family to greet him.
Now the children of the Xu family's stewards in power are all loyal to Xu Zhenzhen, and those with different aspirations have long been washed away in the changes again and again
"Second uncle, how is the camp prepared?" Zhao Jin didn't care about greeting politely, and asked straight to the point.
The Zhao battalion led by Zhao Jin relied on manors and cities to march in Xuzhou and obtain supplies on the spot, but the camp was located in Yutai County, Shandong, about ten miles away from Xuzhou.
Hearing Zhao Jin's inquiry, Xu Bende's face was a little embarrassed, but he still replied immediately: "There have been several rains in the past ten days, and the cart is very difficult to walk on the road. ”
Even if Zhao Ziying renovates the roads in Xuzhou, it has been widened and repaired as much as possible, but no matter how good the dirt road is, it is also a dirt road, and when it rains, the road becomes muddy, and the heavy-duty wooden ** car is easy to fall into the mud pit, which affects the progress very much.
"Then use more manpower, what do so many young people in the Xu family keep in, except for those who build and repair weapons, the rest are mobilized and used, this moment cannot be regarded as a business." Zhao Jin didn't save face for his elders at all, and his voice was very cold.
Xu Bende immediately saw a cold sweat on his forehead, and he agreed there repeatedly, he wanted to say that the wine and food had been prepared on the side of Jingshan, and invited Zhao Jin to go to the banquet, but seeing Zhao Jin's cold eyes, there was no exit when the words reached his throat, but hurriedly instructed the children around him to do what Zhao Jin instructed.
Among the dozen or so young Xu family members around Xu Bende, most of them bowed their heads respectfully, and a few of them showed indignant expressions on their faces.
Niu Jinbao, who was following Zhao Jin, already showed a vigilant look on his face, Zhao Jin's expression was natural, but he knew that those who looked angry were the members of the Internal Guard, and they were the most loyal people in the Xu family.
Zhao Jin's team rested briefly on the shore, got on their horses and moved forward, and after walking for a short time, the messenger Ding Ding, who was galloping on a fast horse, began to come from the north.
Chen Han's first regiment and Shi Manqiang's second regiment had already arrived in Pei County, and after crossing the Jingoukou, they camped on Zhuangzi north of Pei County, while the first brigade led by Lu Da was already waiting near Guting Town.
The firearm company led by Meng Zhiqi is waiting two miles away from the north bank of the Yellow River, and there are currently 214 people who are practicing firearm shooting and have met the requirements, mainly Xueding, there are also dozens of Xu family Ding Zhuang, and more than 20 regimental training, these people are divided into two companies, all under the leadership of Meng Zhiqi.
Although Meng Zhiqi is now a firearm company, but this position has made many people look red, and he will manage two companies at once, according to the precedent of Zhao Ziying, the worst in the future is also a brigade Zheng, and many people have said sour things, saying that if you enter the inner house with your grandfather and sister, you will be promoted quickly.
No one cares about gossip, but a young family member was promoted to manage two companies, and his experience and ability were insufficient, so these two firearms companies were also directly managed by Zhao Jin, and at the same time, the first company was Meng Zhiqi, and the second company was temporarily the foreigner Louie, and his old servant Hildo, the interpreter also had to follow him, the interpreter was unwilling to come, and he was fighting with the officers and soldiers, and he was alive and dead, he was already frightened, but he knew that it was impossible to go, and after going once, there were two hundred taels of silver to take, so he gritted his teeth and accepted his fate.
