At noon one day later, Zhao Lie received a report that the new guard commander left Jinghai Guard City at Chenshi and began a so-called inspection tour.
However, Chang Runing and even the commander of Jinghai Guard City knew that The governor, the governor, and others set off without telling him where to go for inspection first.
They were obviously afraid that some insider would inform him and reveal his whereabouts.
Chang Runing was warmly welcomed by more than ten people including Ma Youjun of Qianhu Station and Deputy Qianhu Zhenfu at Youqianhu Station.
Chang Runing did not exchange too many greetings and immediately ordered Ma Youjun and others to accompany him.
He inspected important places such as military preparations, warehouses, castles, and racecourses.
Because of the dilapidated situation of You Qianhu, he was furious with Ma Youjun.
He gave him a deadline to train and prepare the army, replenish the treasury, and repair the castle.
If he exceeded the deadline, he would be severely punished.
Ma Youjun cried bitterly and said that the food and salary arrears had been in arrears for more than a year, and more than half of the military households had fled.
The Qianhu Station really had no energy left to organize things.
He said that only by paying the arrears of food and salary to the Wei Station, the Youqianhu Station could summon the army.
He must renovate the castle and train and prepare the army.
Otherwise, even if the lawsuit reaches the capital, he will be unable to do anything.
For a time, Ma Youjun and his cronies were arguing and wallowing, showing that they were wronged.
After checking the account books, his staff said that the salary arrears had indeed accumulated for one year and three months.
Chang Runing also did not expect that Jinghaiwei had reached such a dilapidated state, which was far different from Dengzhou and Laizhou.
So he could only scold Ma Youjun for his incompetence and inaction, and rushed off to settle the matter.
He didn't even eat lunch at You Qianhu, and continued on his way.
At early noon on the second day, Zhao Lie received a report that Mr.
Chang did not stay anywhere else.
In fact, he was only twenty miles away from Chishan.
Scouts would report Master Chang's every move every two hours, and Zhao Lie was convinced that Chang Runing would catch him off guard.
Sure enough, Mr.
Chang didn't stop at Zhong Qianhu Station and Qian Qianhu Station at all, and went straight to Zuo Qianhu Station.
Zhao Lie thought to himself, this man is a very resolute person.
He was worried that he might not be sure of the method of building a city, so he went straight to Huanglong to see if he could find anything.
Rather, he was loyal to his master behind him.
Zhao Lie immediately led the guards to rush towards Chishan.
Entered Chishan before Chang Runing.
Li Mingyu, deputy qianhu Zhu Ying, Zheng Yimin, and governor Liu Ping gathered together and waited outside the west city gate.
"Sir, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for us to just wait outside the west gate.
Do you want to go three to five miles away?"
Zhu Ying asked.
"It's just that the commander of the guards came to inspect military affairs.
If His Majesty were to come today, of course we would have traveled ten miles to welcome him."
Zhao Lie curled his lips and said with great disdain.
Zhu Ying was stunned for a moment, bowed and stepped back, Zhao Lie's words were loud.
The other generals in the institute heard about it.
Several of them were local gangsters of Jinghaiwei.
They all heard about the discord between Zhao Lie and his superior, but the two sides were at odds to such an extent.
In other words, it was a surprise to them that Zhao Lie was so disrespectful to his superiors.
Zhu Ying seriously dislikes Zhao Lie, thinking that you are Qianhu, and you are the yamen of Zhao Haiming, the commander of Denglai Du Sidu and the commander of Weihai Navy, but your father is a navy and has no real power in the infantry.
You and Wei The commander makes enemies.
I'm afraid that I can't take care of you.

I really can't do anything with my words.
Zhu Ying inadvertently moved a little further away from Zhao Lie, and several other people did the same thing.
Zhao Lie and Li Mingyu stood abruptly in front of him, one behind the other.
Zhao Lie looked around and saw several people looking straight at each other, all avoiding his own eyes, as if I was concentrating on waiting for someone and didn't see them.
Zhao Lie smiled casually, straightened his armor, stood with his sword in hand, and looked into the dusty distance.
Lord Chang has arrived.
More than 30 cavalrymen, including Chang Runing and his staff and guards, ran out of the dust with crooked helmets, covered in dust, and dim light.
Zhao Lie and others were only a few dozen steps away.
Zhao Lie remained motionless and looked at him coldly.
Everyone waited until they stopped ten steps before taking two steps forward and kneeling on the ground.
"Zuo Qianhu Zhao Lie pays homage to Commander Chang."
The other generals knelt down in unison.
"Everyone, please get up.
I didn't report my whereabouts.
How did you know about my whereabouts?"
Chang Runing asked with a smile on his face, but his eyes were cold.
He was very angry.
He just wanted to catch Zhao Lie off guard, but Zhao Lie was waiting outside the city.
He was already cautious, but Zhao Lie already knew why.
"Sir, this Qianhu Station is a military garrison.
All subordinates must be aware of all the disturbances in the surroundings, so that they can safely guard the sea and live up to the emperor's trust."
Zhao Liehun didn't care and sarcastically said with a smile.
Chang Runing gave Zhao Lie a hateful look.
He is really a slippery man.
All his words are slippery and slick.
On the surface, they are just beautiful articles.
You can't be in a hurry, otherwise you will be rude.
"Zhao Qianhu, take this general to Chishan to inspect the soldiers, warehouses, and horse farms."
Chang Runing ordered on the horse.
"My lord, it is already noon now, and my subordinates have prepared a banquet at the official office.
My lord, we should finish the inspection after lunch."
Zhao Lie said with a smile.
In fact, he didn't prepare a banquet at all.
Since Chang Runing caught him off guard, how could he let Zhao Lie have the time to finish the banquet?
"No need.
I am the commander of Jinghai Guard appointed by the emperor.
I have the important task of guarding Jinghai Guard.
Now the interior is dilapidated and the armor is not repaired.
How can I make this general feel at ease?
Zhao Qianhu will take care of it immediately."
Chang Runing looked righteous at the moment.
If Zhao Lie had not known this person's purpose, he would have been deceived by his appearance.
"That's it, my lord, please."
Zhao Lie said no more.
For such a talented actor, Zhao Lie had no intention of cooperating with him in the performance.

Zhao Lie gave an order, and the two guards around him rushed to the official office first.
Everyone entered the castle.
Chang Runing had nothing to say about the appearance of Chishan Fort.
The same rammed earth city wall had bricks falling off, which was caused by lack of money and food.
If he scolded Zhao Lie and returned to the guard station like You Qianhu, he would not I'm planning on humiliating myself.
Chang Runing entered the castle and saw that the not-so-wide streets were clean and tidy.
The pedestrians were cleanly dressed and walked energetically.
Most of the houses in the castle were newly built, but compared to the dilapidation of other castles, this place's The feeling is eye-catching.
Zhao Lie, Li Mingyu, Zhu Ying, Zheng Yimin, Liu Ping and others led Chang Runing and others to the warehouse of the Thousand Households in the fort.
Zheng Yimin, the deputy Qianhu who was in charge of the warehouse, took out the account book and the two people who came with Chang Runing The staff took the ledger and began to check it one by one.
A bag of five hundred stones of rice and half a stone of grain was neatly stacked in two warehouses.
Five hundred spears, two hundred long knives, more than seventy iron shields, more than forty bows and crossbows, and more than two thousand crossbow arrows.
Twenty-four pairs of armor, more than thirty leather armors, more than fifty cotton armors, more than 600 kilograms of black powder, more than forty wooden and iron hammers, more than ten recyclable hammers, and three bronze cannons, all of them It is extremely well maintained.
The swords and guns were glowing with cold light, the armor was dust-free, and the black gunpowder was pure black.
Chang Runing even opened two bags of rice, although it was not rice or flour.
Just sorghum rice and black noodles.
But when he saw that it was new grain, Chang Runing was speechless.
Well, this is the warehouse with the most abundant reserves and the most meticulous storage that he has ever seen in his life.
How could he seek faults?
If he gets angry here, it would be nitpicking.
The warehouse here is richer and better managed than the warehouse in Acropolis.
Chang Runing led everyone out of the warehouse without saying a word.
A neat square array was arranged on the school field in front of the warehouse.
The first two banners were placed at Jinghaiwei Zuoqianhu Station and Zhao Lie, followed by a military formation of 500 people.
All dressed in bright red and fat coats, there were many swords and guns, and the cold air was overwhelming.
Li Hui was wearing a bright red fat coat, a bamboo hat on his head, and a blunderbuss on his shoulder.
He stood straight in the second row of the phalanx and watched Master Zhao and other generals walking towards the phalanx.
As the eldest son of Li Qiusheng.
At the age of 20, he replaced his father and became a soldier last year.
According to the regulations of Qianhusuo, except for the only son in the family, one member of each family formed a soldier and was ready to obey orders.
Of course, he was also paid one tael of silver per month.
As the beneficiaries of Mr.
Zhao Lie's land allocation, the military households have a very high desire to form an army.
The purpose of preparing the army is to protect Mr.
Zhao Lie.
As long as Mr.
Zhao Lie is here, thousands of households will have a good life.
This is the military household.
Our most simple thoughts.
Not to mention the salary of one tael of silver per month, Master Zhao Lie's soldiers have never been in arrears with their food and salary.
It can be said that the competition in each village is very poor and very enthusiastic.
There are even brothers in the military household who compete for soldiers.
Conflict arises.
As the eldest son of the family, Li Hui had great responsibilities.
He was very happy when he replaced his father and became a soldier.

He also wanted to get out of the house and see the world.
However, the strict instructors during the training made these students aware of the pain of being a soldier.
The first step was to practice neat formation.
Li Hui was whipped frequently for not distinguishing left and right at the beginning.
There were many people like him.
The boring formation practice lasted for nearly two months.
The same goes for the subsequent firecracker drills.
It is not easy to reload quickly.
The hundreds of drills every day make people crazy, and they receive a lot of whippings.
Li Hui thinks of his father again and again.
I was told not to embarrass my family and stayed down.
After passing this level, the following joint training, fully armed cross-country march, setting up camp, etc. are nothing more than a trivial matter.
Li Hui is now standing erect on the spot.
Chang Runing was secretly surprised when he looked at the neatly arranged, energetic and fully armed military formation in front of him.
This was the most organized military formation he had ever seen.
It was obvious at first glance that it must have undergone strict training.
If there is a weakness, it is Most of the soldiers are useless.
Just look at their eyes and you will know that they have no fierce and fierce eyes that have experienced battles and life and death.
Zhao Lie handed over the roster, and Chang Runing's staff called the names one by one.
They checked the entire military formation.
There were no vacancies and no pay, and they were all real numbers.
Chang Runing was also greatly surprised.
Among the 500 troops in You Qianhu Institute, there were only more than 100 trusted servants, and the rest were all vacant.
Even the Qianhu Institute in Dengzhou Guards where he left only retained 60 to 70 percent.
The real number is that the general sacrificed his wealth to save his life.
After all, Governor Denglai and General Denglai ordered to board the battle formation, but if the soldiers under his command were to save their lives, who would dare to take too much free pay?
They really need money.
Don't die.
However, this was the first time in Chang Runing's memory that the army was fully staffed and well-drilled.
This showed that Zhao Lie did not eat empty pay at all, did not care about the money and food, and had no interest in the inventory of Qianhusuo. , which made Chang Runing feel embarrassed that he had nowhere to start.
This was not something he had known beforehand that Mr.
Chang could complete his itinerary within a few hours.
It seemed that his plan to go straight to Huanglong had failed.
This yamen was either afraid of losing face and disdained the empty pay, or he looked down upon the small amount of money. , in short, Zuo Qianhu's office is so impeccable, without any flaws.
Chang Runing and Master Chang came up short this time, as if they were dodged by someone with all their strength, and almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood in frustration.
Chang Runing suppressed his depression and ordered his staff to check the account books of Qianhu Institute.
The result was that in more than three days, they only found that Shidao paid a lot of taxes.
This was also the source of the troops and armor of Qianhu Institute.
These money and food supported a Qianhu Institute. sufficient.
In fact, this was Zhao Lie's order, and Shidao couldn't hide it.
However, it was impossible for a wealthy place not to pay taxes to its superiors.
Zhao Lie would never leave such an excuse to others.
He He doesn't care about a little money or food, what he cares about is preserving Shidao's foundation in the Ming Dynasty.
After checking everything in Chishan, everything in Zuo Qianhu Office was so perfect that Chang Runing wanted to shout, "Can your Zhao family not be so capable?
This is not the private property of your Zhao family, but the Qianhu Office of the imperial court.

Clean it up" Why is it so neat and tidy?
Leave it to others.
