Qin Hu

Chapter 96 Zhang Han: Am I so hip?

"Huh? Now?"

Li You said in astonishment with a dazed expression on his face.

Zhao Zihu nodded: "You go and bid farewell to Li Xiang first. I will choose 300 sharp men for you in the royal driving."

"Later, you can lead them to the coast of the East China Sea."

"Don't put on the airs of the children of the gentry on the road, cultivate more relationships with the elites, and treat them as retainers and guest ministers."

"Of course, if there are thorny people who violate the military law, they should not cover up and be merciless, as the law enforcement is upright."

"In this way, you can establish your prestige, and when you go to sea in the future, they can also obey your orders..."

After all, Zhao Zihu still felt sorry for Li You, and he was so concerned about everything, as if he wanted to go to sea instead of him.

As for Li You, when he heard that there were three hundred sharp men who could lead him, he immediately put away his astonishment, nodded as he listened, and finally waited for him to finish speaking, he couldn't wait to raise his hands and said, "I'll go back and bid farewell to my father."

He was eager to try, and he didn't have any extra thoughts.

After all, three hundred guardsmen, if they were placed in the barbarians outside the Great Wall, or in Baiyue in the south, they would all be powerful enough to wipe out a tribe with ease.

Moreover, he had long been envious of Wang Li's [-] cavalry and Zhao Zihu's [-]-odd knights, so how could he not be excited to have his own [-] knights!
Li You left excitedly, jolting while walking, happy like a village idiot.

Zhao Zihu watched his back disappear, turned his eyes away and shook his head with a smile, and said to Diao Chan and Hu Hai, "Let's go, before the imperial driver leaves, let's choose a right-hand man for Brother Yu."

"it is good!"

A few people nodded and rode on their war horses, surrounded by Zhao Tuo and his retinue, and rushed to the eating and resting place of the escorting guards.

Well, it's actually on the street outside the Government Office!
Although the imperial guards were resting and eating, they never dared to let go of their duty of guarding. They surrounded the entire yamen office with three floors and three floors, which could be said to be impenetrable.

This is also to blame for the people of Taishan County, who are so abnormal compared to other places, they are not afraid of the first emperor's driving, and they gather inside and outside the county, making the guards, generals and generals all nervous!

Zhao Zihu and his party came to the street outside the Yamen Office, and the generals of the imperial guards recognized him and Hu Hai and the others, hurriedly walked to the front of the horse to salute: "I have seen you young masters, but do you want to see Your Majesty?"

Zhao Zihu jumped off the horse with one leg, hesitantly said: "Zhang Han?"

The general of the imperial guard raised his hand again, and reported his name and official position: "Wei, the last general Zhang Han, captain of the imperial guard!"

The official title of Duwei does not seem to be very resounding, and it can always be associated with Duwei, the son-in-law, but in fact, in Daqin, he is a Shangqing general with a rank of two thousand stones.

The formation of the Qin army is generally divided into five, even, tun, one hundred, five hundred, two or five hundred masters... that is, one thousand, one thousand is also called Qu, and one thousand generals is also called Junhou.

And above the thousand generals are the captains. A captain commands several thousand teams, ranging from two or three to as many as seven or eight, or even ten.

As for generals, Qin did not set up generals during non-wartimes. If it had to be discussed, officers with hundreds of generals and above could call them generals in a nice way.

If the captain is released to other places, he will be the highest military officer of a county. He is a county lieutenant and sits on an equal footing with the county guard!

Of course, although the official system of the Great Qin Dynasty divided civil and military affairs, officials from the gentry family were all masters who were capable of both civil and military affairs. Today they are generals and captains, and tomorrow they may be converted to civil servants!

Just like Meng Yi, Lang Zhongling is strictly a military commander. After all, he wants to command the imperial army, but in fact he is beside Ying Zheng, doing civil work all the time. He is really capable of both civil and military skills...

"General Zhang, I'm going to send people out to sea to find the Immortals of Immortal Isle, and ask them for medicine to give them longevity. Please help me select three hundred guards who are good at water and good at boats."

While talking, Zhao Zihu took out the gold-painted tiger charm hanging around his neck from his breastplate, and said, "Do you know this thing?"

Of course Zhang Han knew the tiger talisman, and he also had half of it in his arms.

It's just that Zhao Zihu called the imperial guards to pursue the illusory immortality, which is very stubborn and absurd.

Zhang Han's face seemed to be showing signs of twitching, and he didn't want to be tested by the Tiger Talisman at all.

"Tsk..."

Zhao Zihu smacked his lips impatiently, took off the gold-painted tiger amulet from his neck, and stuffed it directly into Zhang Han's hand: "Hurry up and verify the authenticity, let's do business!"

He could see Zhang Han's reluctance, which also showed that Xu Fu deceived Ying Zheng twice, mobilized a large number of food and fodder, and went out to sea to find some fairy medicine, which made the world see what a joke.

I'm afraid everyone is laughing at Ying Zheng, laughing at his whimsy and wishful thinking!

When Yingzheng himself realized it, he became furious and went on a killing spree!

Reluctantly, Zhang Han verified the tiger talisman, and then said to the commander of the personal guards: "Order those who are good at water and boats in the army, come here and wait for orders."

"only."

The commander of the personal guards bowed his hands to receive the order, and shouted along the street for those who are good at water and boats, and went to the street to wait for orders.

More than [-]% of the imperial army are from the old Qin people in Guanzhong, and Guanzhong actually has a lot of water... Cough, in fact, there are quite a lot of rivers, which are far from the over-developed appearance of later generations.

Sima Xiangru's "Dangdang to divide the eight rivers" in Lin Fu, and the "Eight rivers around Chang'an" passed down by word of mouth in later generations are the most authentic portrayals.

Therefore, there are many people who are good at water and good at boats among the imperial guards.

The commander of the personal guard shouted around the government office in the streets and alleys, and gathered two to three thousand people, waiting in line for orders.

Zhang Han turned to look at Zhao Zihu, asking him how to choose.

Zhao Zihu didn't talk nonsense, turned over and got on the red rabbit horse again, stood on the saddle and said loudly: "I want to send people to the sea to search for immortals and ask for medicine, and now I need three hundred tigers to protect him."

"I would like to follow those who go out to sea, and on the day of their return, they will be rewarded with a second-level title for those who are below the doctor's rank, and the first-level title for those who are above the doctor's rank."

"If you have made meritorious service overseas, you will be rewarded as a nobleman."

"Applicants, take a step forward!"

The Great Qin Military Merit System has [-] levels of titles, which are further divided into four levels.

Levels [-] to [-] are Jazz.

The fifth to ninth ranks are Grand Dukes.

The tenth to eighteenth ranks are Qingjue.

Then there is the Marquis, the Marquis of Guannei at the [-]th rank, and the Marquis of Che at the [-]th rank.

The reward offered by Zhao Zihu was not unreasonable. After hearing this, the sharp scholars who were closer to him all took a step forward.

In this way, 300 people are enough!

Waiting for Zhang Han's personal guards to pass on Zhao Zihu's reward, two or three thousand elite soldiers of the forbidden army, regardless of whether they are officers or not, all want to sign up before stepping forward.

Even Zhao Tuo and others behind Zhao Zihu's eyes widened when they heard this, as if they really wanted to sign up.

The Great Qin military merit system is not a joke, the supporting benefits of the title are too tempting.

Moreover, compared to beating the enemy's head with all his might on the battlefield, going to sea is nothing to the old Qin people who have never experienced the storms of the sea.

If you take a boat trip, you can get a title. How can there be such a good thing in the world, so naturally they will fight for it!
Zhao Zihu split his legs and sat on the saddle, knocked on the horse's belly lightly and entered the ranks of the imperial guards. Seeing that his face was dull, he pointed his horsewhip to indicate that he was selected and could go out.

These guys who are crazy about titles don't take the sea seriously.
But he had to help Li You prevent problems before they happened. After all, after going to sea, the environment on the ship was closed, and it was easy to cause troubles after a long time.

Clever and intelligent people are mostly the source of troubles.

On the contrary, those who are honest and dull are the most suitable seamen.

This is actually the method of grandpa Qi and Zeng shaving their heads to select soldiers in later generations.

Don't be a smart and slick guy, but a dull and honest guy. After training in such a source of troops, you can obey orders on the battlefield and fight to the death without retreating!

Zhao Zihu rode a horse, circled the queue a few times, picked out more than 300 people with dull faces, and then rode out into battle, saying to Zhang Han: "The rest can be dispersed."

"only."

Zhang Han responded with his hand, and asked his own soldiers to yell for the rest to return to their own team, while he himself looked at the more than [-] people Zhao Zihu had selected, and praised: "My lord, this method of selecting soldiers is a different way, I probably understand it. .”

Zhao Zihu said softly: "It's good if you realize it. Don't go to the battlefield in the future. When you meet a real bully, tens of thousands of people will beat you to 10 people!"

Zhang Han: "..."

What do you mean?
Am I so hip?
Of course he doesn't pull his hips. In the troubled times at the end of Qin Dynasty, the only ones who could overwhelm him were those two, Xiang Yu, who was unparalleled through the ages, and Han Xin, a soldier fairy.

Without these two, he might really be able to bring the chaos of the end of Qin to an end, and let little Hu Hai continue the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty...

"Please trouble General Zhang Han, prepare dry food for each of them for three days, and then I will leave."

Zhao Zihu saluted and changed the subject.

Naturally, Zhang Han would not refuse anything, and ordered his soldiers to bring three hundred sharp men to fetch dry food...

……

……

At the same time, the prime minister behind the government office was driving.

Li Sizheng glared at the eldest son angrily, and scolded, "Are you stupid? Have you ever seen the sea? How dare you lead a team out to sea?"

"Now...immediately...go to that naughty tiger and tell him that you don't want to go to sea!"

Li You was trained to lower his head, but his face was full of unwillingness, and he made excuses resentfully: "Your Majesty chose me to be the commander of the sea. If I don't back down, is it not a matter of disloyalty?"

Li Si was even annoyed when he heard the words. He picked up the ivory wat board and typed: "Huh! Huh! I let you~! You have learned to draw words!"

Fortunately, the prime minister's four-wheeled cart was spacious enough for Li You to turn around with his head in his arms, begging for mercy: "Father, don't fight, don't fight... Your Majesty chose me to be the commander of the sea, how can it be easy to change?" ..."

Li Si stopped waving the wat board, and said hesitantly: "Your Majesty's password is naturally not easy to change, even a father can't persuade him."

"However, you can go find that stubborn tiger and make up an excuse to avoid being unable to go to sea."

"Based on the relationship between the two of you, as long as you say you don't want to go, he will definitely not make it difficult for you, and will let His Majesty re-select the commander of the sea."

"For example, your good brother Wang Li, it's very suitable to see him as a father..."

"With that stubborn tiger persuading His Majesty to re-elect Wang Li, it will definitely be persuaded!"

Li You stared, blushed and said, "Father is like this, isn't he hurting my elder brother?"

Hearing this, Li Si's eyes were bigger than his staring, he swung the wat board and hit again, and said angrily: "So you also know that going to sea is harmful? Knowing that you still allow that naughty tiger to mess around? If you go out to sea and don't come back, How will I explain to your mother when I return to Xianyang?"

"Unfilial son, I will beat you to death today and transport your body back to Xianyang, lest you go out into the sea with no bones left, and your mother will have no place to cry in the grave!"

Li You was helpless and didn't hide anymore. He just pouted and let the wat board fall on his body.

Li Si slapped him a few times, but his heart ached, he quickly stopped and said, "You are not filial, why don't you hide?"

Li You looked up at the roof of the car at a 45-degree angle, and said sadly: "Father is rich and honored today, isn't it because he left his hometown in Chudi, looked for famous teachers to learn art, and went to Guanzhong alone, and went through hardships? Why did he come to me? , but don’t want to let go?”

Snapped--

Li Si couldn't bear it anymore, he patted his forehead again, and reprimanded: "Isn't it just to glorify the ancestors and shadow the descendants by making money for the father?"

"Being rich for your father will also be yours sooner or later. If you still go out to fight for your life, then what's the point of being rich for your father?"

"It's better to resign from the official position and get rid of the title, so as not to follow His Majesty and work like a cow and horse all day long!"

Li You was speechless and begged for a long time: "Father is not the only son, give wealth to my younger brothers, I don't want it."

"I just want my father to let me go out and have a good time, just this time, if I don't succeed, I will be a house dog in the future!"

Li Si immediately shook his head, but he was resolutely unwilling to agree, but Li You continued: "Father, you know that I am not looking for immortals and medicines this time, but to find overseas grain seeds. Once I find them, I will bring them back to Daqin. The glory of the family is like the ancient Shennong family, which will last for thousands of generations."

Li Si was stunned, blinking his eyes, and after a while he came back to his senses, and asked suspiciously, "Didn't you lie to me?"

He thought that his son was going to sea with Zhao Zihu to mess around, looking for immortals and asking medicine for longevity, so he stopped him.

Because, that is a thankless thing at all, risking the risk of being buried in the sea, [-]% will make a trip for nothing, not to mention not getting meritorious rewards when you come back, but you will get the anger of Ying Zheng.

Only fools do such errands, so naturally they can avoid it!
But now his son said that not only would he have meritorious deeds, but he would also be honored for thousands of generations, so he couldn't help but be moved.

If there is such an opportunity, he also wants to give it a try, even if it is worth dying in the sea!

"Cheat? Father, let's see what this is..."

Seeing that his father's attitude was relaxed, Li You immediately took out the charts and ships that Zhao Zihu gave from his arms, and told Zhao Zihu's adventures in detail.

Finally, tell Li Si all about Zhao Zihu'er's order to tell him!
After Li Si finished listening, he was dumb for a while, and then said quietly: "That stubborn tiger knows how to love you, and left you with such a great opportunity."

Li Youheran: "Of course, the son is usually the closest to me, even the eldest brother Wang Li is no match. Does father think that the son will deliberately harm me?"

"He won't hurt me!"

"He left the opportunity for me because of my consideration. If this trip to the sea is successful, our family will also have a Chehou, who will be honored for thousands of generations. Isn't it wonderful?"

Li Si took a deep breath, looked at his expectant son, and sighed, "My son, do you really have to go?"

Li You nodded heavily: "Go~!"

Li Si had no choice but to say, "The young eagle's wings are hardened, and it will eventually soar into the sky, so go ahead. The feats you have won are indeed more glorious than being a father Ya Hui!"
