"What kind of enjoyment, you kid, stop talking nonsense here!"
Ying Zheng glared at Zhao Hao angrily, thinking to himself: How come this traitor knows everything?
The reason why I came here non-stop was because I heard that he had recruited all the women in the city, thinking that he was going to do that ridiculous thing.
After all, women are rich in experience, far beyond what those 28-year-old girls can match.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Hao curled his lips and said matter-of-factly: "As a supervisor, is it wrong to recruit a group of women?"
As soon as these words came out, not only the first emperor Ying Zheng was dumbfounded, but also Zhao Tuo, Ren Xiao and others who were following him were dumbfounded.
You must know that not everyone can take on the position of overseeing the army, and the power of overseeing the army is also very important, especially the power that Ying Zheng clearly expressed in his decree——
The supervisory army can handle military and political affairs directly without reporting to the court.
What is this concept?
It’s no different from killing first and playing later!
However, in Zhao Hao's case, it actually became the reason for him to recruit women.
Ren Xiao couldn't help but said: "As a supervisor of the army, the young master has the right to requisition anyone, but the young master has a noble status. Recruiting a group of women in such a large number will inevitably cause gossip and damage the reputation of the court and the royal family. There will be adverse effects!”
"Um?"
Ying Zheng was stunned.
He originally wanted to discipline this disobedient rebellious son personally, but he didn't expect that Ren Xiao couldn't help but educate Zhao Hao first.
This is a good thing!
You know, among the three giants of the South China Sea, except for the recently resigned commander-in-chief Wang Jian, Ren Xiao, Zhao Hao, and Zhao Tuo were in charge of military and political power.
If Ren Xiao and Zhao Tuo were obedient to Zhao Hao because of Zhao Hao's identity, he would not trust Zhao Hao to stay here. Now Ren Xiao is educating Zhao Hao in front of him regardless of Zhao Hao's identity. He Naturally happy to see the results.
However, no one expected that Young Master Hao, who looked young, would tilt his head and look at Ren Xiao for a long time, then suddenly said with a smile: "I don't agree with what Commander Ren said!"
"oh?"
Ren Xiao chuckled lightly and asked, "Master, do you want to defend yourself to the general? The general is willing to hear the details!"
Seeing Zhao Hao directly arguing with Ren Xiao, Ying Zheng suddenly became interested and waved his hand to Zhao Gao to carry the rocking chair over.
He wanted to hear what kind of flowers this traitor could tell.
However, Zhao Hao had no intention of engaging in a verbal dispute with Ren Xiao, and said straightforwardly: "I have always maintained that facts speak louder than words. Since you suspect that recruiting a group of women will damage my reputation, then I will Let me take you to see what those women are doing!"
"this"
Before Ren Xiao could speak, Zhao Tuo frowned, thinking that Commander Ren might capsize in the gutter today.
Sure enough, when Zhao Hao brought Ying Zheng and others to the backyard, a group of women were busy sitting in the yard sewing.
I saw something similar to a hanging basket with a few ropes tied to it and a big piece of cloth attached to it. I didn't know what it was for.
And those women were sewing that big piece of cloth.
"What's the use of this thing?"
Ying Zheng knew that Zhao Hao could always come up with weird things, so he didn't bother to guess and asked Zhao Hao directly.
Zhao Hao chuckled: "Father, this thing is called a hot air balloon. As for its function, please allow me to give you a clue. When the time comes, I guarantee that it will be an eye-opener for you!"
"hot air balloon?"
Ying Zheng looked at it carefully for a while and found nothing special about it, so he said disapprovingly: "What an eye-opener, it's just a toy."
"plaything?"
Zhao Hao was a little unhappy and curled his lips and said: "I can let him fly into the air and overlook the entire South China Sea. Father still thinks it is a plaything?"
"this"
When Ren Xiao, Zhao Tuo and others heard this, their expressions changed slightly.
Just now, they were just surprised that Zhao Hao locked all the women in the inner courtyard and sewed such rags. They were a little bored with playing with things. Now when they heard Zhao Hao say that this thing could fly, they were shocked.
No matter what era human beings have, they all have a dream of flying to the sky.
But flying to the sky was still too far away for the ancients of this era.
"His Majesty."
Ren Xiao immediately wanted to remind Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng raised his hand to stop Ren Xiao, because he also had a dream of flying: "Can this thing really fly?"
"Why should I do it if it can't fly?"
Zhao Hao asked Ying Zheng some funny questions, then raised his finger and pointed at the hot air balloon, and said: "Father, don't think it can only fly. If there is a siege and the enemy cannot hold out, our army only needs to release the hot air balloon." Using balloons for high-altitude reconnaissance, you can have a clear view of the situation in the city, and you can know the enemy's troop distribution, food and grass situation, and even their defensive formation!"
"this"
Ying Zheng blinked, he really didn't expect this.
But Zhao Hao said again: "If the position is changed and our army is surrounded, it will also be of great use. For example, if our army is besieged in the city, the roads are blocked, the news is blocked, and no one can be sent for help, we can release hot air balloons to nearby areas. Asking for help.”
Having said this, he paused and looked at Ying Zheng with a smile but not a smile: "Dare I ask my father, is this still a plaything?"
"Well"
Ying Zheng grinned awkwardly, and then said seriously: "If you put it this way, this thing is indeed somewhat useful!"
Ren Xiao couldn't help but get excited, his lips trembled as he thought about it: "If this thing can really succeed, it will be something unprecedented and unprecedented!"
"May I ask, Sir, when will this hot air balloon be built?"
Zhao Tuo couldn't help but interject.
Zhao Hao glanced at him, pondered for a few times, and said: "If it's fast, it may take two or three days. If it's slow, it will take half a month. I can't tell!"
"Even if it takes half a month, I think it's worth it!"
Zhao Tuo agreed excitedly.
The other generals expressed their opinions one after another.
"Yes, with this artifact, our vision will no longer be limited to the jungle in front of us!"
"The Yue people depend on this jungle for survival. Once they have no geographical advantage, what can they do to stop our Qin army!"
"Hahaha--!"
The generals burst into laughter.
Zhao Hao rolled his eyes speechlessly and reminded: "Don't be too happy too early. Hot air balloons are not omnipotent. If the wind direction is wrong, they can easily be blown to the enemy's camp!"
"this"
The laughter of the generals stopped suddenly, and they couldn't help but turn to look at Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter! Fighting is about the right time, right location, and people. Nothing is smooth sailing. We can choose a time when the wind direction is good to release the hot air balloon;
Even if there are unforeseen circumstances, we can still make countermeasures before the direction of the wind changes! "
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
All the generals bowed their hands.
Zhao Hao rolled his eyes wildly in his heart, but did not refute Ying Zheng's words.
Because what Ying Zheng said is true, nothing is smooth sailing. Even if the problem of the direction of the hot air balloon is solved, new problems will still arise. We can only assess the situation and solve whatever arises.
Seeing that everyone was impressed by his words, Ying Zheng smiled with satisfaction and was about to turn around and leave the backyard. However, just as he turned around, a scent of wine that he had never smelled came to his face, making his footsteps tremble. One stagnation.
"What kind of wine is this?"
Ying Zheng asked subconsciously.
Zhao Hao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "I almost forgot, it's time for lunch!"
"Um?"
Ying Zheng was stunned when he heard this.
But I heard Zhao Hao greeting me with a smile: "Father and generals, let's dine together too!"
"Thank you, sir!"
The generals did not refuse and followed Zhao Hao to the front yard.
I saw that the place where the rocking chair was originally placed had been filled with a table of delicious food by the servants.
Zhao Hao walked to the dining table first, picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of the steamed sea fish. He felt it tasted good, and then said to Ying Zheng: "Father, come and try this sea fish!"
"Your Majesty, old slave"
Zhao Gao heard Zhao Hao's words and subconsciously asked Ying Zheng if he wanted to test the poison.
Ying Zheng raised his hand to stop him, thinking to himself, would my son still harm me? Then he picked up the chopsticks on the table, picked up a piece of sea fish and put it into his mouth. It was indeed extremely delicious.
Immediately afterwards, he picked up the wine on the table and smelled it. He found that the smell was exactly the same as what he had just smelled, and drank it all in one gulp.
"This wine is good. I'll send you some later!"
After finishing a drink, Ying Zheng was not polite and gave instructions directly to Zhao Hao.
Zhao Hao smiled and nodded, saying: "Yes!"
At this time, Zhao Tuo also drank a drink, and couldn't help asking Zhao Hao with surprise: "Did Young Master brew this wine?"
"Like that hot air balloon, who can make these things that no one has ever seen before but this kid?"
Before Zhao Hao could answer Zhao Tuo, Ying Zheng answered for him.
Ren Xiao sighed: "Young master is so talented, so enviable!"
"hehe."
Ying Zheng smiled noncommittally, waved his hand and said, "You can ask him for a drink if you want!"
"Thank you sir for the wine!"
The generals saluted Zhao Hao with happy faces.
Zhao Hao was not stingy and responded directly with a smile: "Easy to say, easy to say!"
Originally, the First Emperor and his followers planned to come to investigate, but instead they saw the hot air balloon and ate delicious food and wine.
There is no such thing as sin.
After three rounds of food and five tastes of wine, when Ying Zheng and the generals were a little tipsy, Zhao Hao asked Ying Zheng doubtfully: "Father, why didn't you inform your ministers when you came to Nanhai? What big thing happened?"
"You have the nerve to ask, didn't your father send you to treat the old general? Why is the old general's condition getting worse and worse?"
Ying Zheng put down his wine glass and asked Zhao Hao with a blushing face.
Zhao Hao was slightly stunned and turned to look at Yan Le; "Didn't you say before that the old general's energy has recovered and he should be fine returning to Xianyang? What is going on?"
"I"
Yan Le opened his mouth and was about to speak, when Zhao Tuo who was standing aside suddenly spoke first: "The old general said that he is not going to die soon. He begged to see your majesty for the last time. This is an urgent message from the last general on behalf of the old general!"
"Oh?" Zhao Hao raised his eyebrows and asked, "So, the old general is lying to my father?"
"Impossible, it is impossible for the old general to deceive His Majesty, because the last general was told his last words by the old general!"
"That's right, the last general was also given the responsibility by the old general!"
"And I"
Seeing Wang Jian's trusted generals defending Wang Jian one after another, Zhao Hao couldn't help asking with confusion: "Since you don't think that the old general is lying to my father, and I did hear that the old general's condition has improved, what about the old general?" Why did the general ask my father to come to the South China Sea?"
"this"
The generals were stunned for a moment, and then their eyes fell on Ying Zheng.
Ying Zheng suddenly felt embarrassed.
He really wanted to say that Wang Jian came to him to seek a title. If it weren't for the fact that he was dying soon, I really wouldn't want to agree to him.
However, this matter cannot be said in public, and the decree can be issued later after returning to Xianyang.
After a moment of silence, Ying Zheng casually put down the chopsticks in his hand, turned to Zhao Hao and said, "Did you have anything to do with the military during your time in the South China Sea?"
"this"
Zhao Hao was speechless, wondering why he was involved. Wasn't he talking about Wang Jian?
However, before Zhao Hao could react, Ying Zheng's face suddenly darkened: "What, you have been tinkering with all this while you have been in Nanhai? Have you not done any serious business?"
"No, Father, it's not that I don't want to do business, it's that I don't know how to do it. Although I have many ideas, I know nothing about fighting, so I have no choice but to tinker with it."
Zhao Hao spoke softer and quieter, and in the end he felt a little embarrassed.
Zhao Tuo and Ren Xiao looked at each other and excused Zhao Hao one after another.
"Your Majesty, the young master came to Nanhai to serve as a military supervisor, and that's not all he did. The navy led by Tu Sui is currently receiving the young master's training methods, and the results are pretty good."
"Yes, Your Majesty, the young master is quite familiar with naval battles. I think he will be able to accomplish a great deal."
"If it's a naval battle, I can still give it a try. After all, a naval battle is easier than a land battle, but in a land battle, I'm afraid I'm not as good as the generals!" Zhao Hao couldn't help but interrupt.
Although Ying Zheng was listening to Zhao Tuo and Ren Xiao's excuses, he did not miss what Zhao Hao said, and immediately waved his hand to signal Zhao Hao not to talk nonsense.
When Zhao Hao saw the First Emperor's father waving his hand towards him, he was filled with doubts. He seemed to be right. Naval battles were indeed easier than land battles.
After all, truth only exists within cannon range.
As long as you occupy a superior position, you can use the power of warships and cannons to bombard the enemy indiscriminately, without any technical content at all.
Moreover, Da Qin does not yet have cannons, so it is still unknown how to defend itself against cannon attacks. It can completely catch the enemy off guard.
If the First Emperor's father insisted on letting him lead troops on an expedition, Zhao Hao's first thought would be to lead a few battleships, mount cannons, and bombard the Vietnamese along the coast indiscriminately.
However, Zhao Hao followed the First Emperor's gaze and saw the indignant expressions of the generals at a glance.
What happened to them?
Don’t you really think land battles are easier than naval battles?
Seeing that Zhao Hao seemed unresponsive, Ying Zheng couldn't help but sigh and scolded: "You kid is ignorant and incompetent all day long. Don't you know that the navy in the South China Sea has been defeated by the Vietnamese army many times?"
"this"
Zhao Hao was speechless.
Ever since he arranged for Tu Sui to train the navy, he had always thought that Da Qin's navy was very powerful, and he was just helping him upgrade his equipment.
Unexpectedly, the Great Qin Navy suffered repeated defeats.
what is happening?
Could it be that the navy of the Yue people was more powerful than the navy of the Qin Dynasty?
It shouldn’t be!
"Okay, let's not talk about this in advance!"
Ying Zheng seemed to know that Zhao Hao didn't know the situation of the South China Sea Navy, so he waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need to care, then changed the subject and said to Zhao Hao;
"Tell me your plan. The old general insists on staying in the South China Sea. What can you do to allow the old general to rest in peace and recuperate while also allowing him to stay here?"
Zhao Hao thought for a while and said: "The weather in the central part of the South China Sea is sultry and the humidity is very high, which is not suitable for recuperation. If the old general insists on staying in the South China Sea, it is best to go to Shouying in the north. Since the carriage is bumpy, it is best to take the waterway!"
"Take the water route to Shouying?"
Ying Zheng frowned and then looked at the generals: "What do you think?"
"I'm willing to escort the old general to Shouying!"
Tu Sui was the first to stand up and express his opinion.
Zhao Tuo's eyes flashed, and then he picked up the wine glass, put it to his mouth calmly, and took a sip.
