Chapter 246 Young Eagle Camp, Zhao Dan's anger

Handan.

On this day, the gate of Zhao State Palace City opened, and Zhao Dan's ceremonial carriage drove out in a mighty manner and headed towards the north.

Zhao Yi, the little princess of Zhao Country, sat in Zhao Dan's arms, her face pink and tender, and her words were also sarcastic: "Father, where are you going?"

Zhao Dan smiled and pinched Zhao Yi's little cheek and said, "Yi'er, this time my father will take you to a place with many children, and Yi'er will play with them there, okay?"

Zhao Yi raised his little hand and cheered: "That's great, no one in the palace plays with Yier!"

Queen Han Wan, who was standing beside her, looked at all this and stroked her belly that had begun to bulge slightly, her eyes full of love.

In fact, this time it was not just Zhao Dan and the Queen. All Zhao Dan's children were brought out. The entire convoy had more than a dozen carriages, guarded by a thousand Tiger Army. It was like a long dragon advancing on the road, which was quite spectacular.

Half an hour later, Zhao Dan's king's ceremonial guard came to the northern plains of Handan City, but did not enter the Northern Army camp, but drove into another camp about two or three miles away from the Northern Army camp.

The size of this camp is much smaller than that of a few miles long. It is almost a small town. There is a plaque hanging on the gate of the camp, with three big characters clearly written in Zhao's words.

"Eagle Camp."

These three words were written by Zhao Dan.

At the gate of the Chuying Camp, many ministers and generals of Zhao State and generals had been waiting for a long time after seeing Zhao Dan's carriage.

"I've seen the king and the queen!"

Zhao Dan nodded slightly, walked down from the carriage, and looked through the ministers and generals of Zhao State in front, and landed behind them.

It was a square array composed of thousands of boys and girls.

The Eagle Camp is a newly established institution by Zhao Dan after the Battle of Changping. It is specially used to host orphans who were unraised after the Zhao people died in the army. Today is the day when the Eagle Camp officially opens.

Although the title "orphan camp" is more realistic, considering that this title may itself cause certain psychological stimulation to the fragile orphans, it was rejected by Zhao Dan.

Zhao Dan walked to the orphans and looked at the orphans carefully.

These boys and girls are of different ages, the older ones are in their teens and the younger ones are in their three or four years old. Their clothes look quite worn, and many people even have snots on their noses. A gust of autumn wind blows, and the sound of sneezing comes one after another.

It seemed that because someone had explained it in advance, the children's faces were filled with fear and humility without exception, and no one dared to look up at Zhao Dan's gaze.

Zhao Dan spoke, with a clear sense of discomfort in his words: "Yu Qing, why didn't these children buy clothes?"

Autumn is the peak period for colds. In this era when there is no hygiene and no medicine, colds can easily die.

And not only autumn, but winter is coming soon. If you just wear these tattered single clothes to spend the winter, you will probably not have a few living children left here next spring.

Yu Xin, who was standing beside him, was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "Go back to the king, the clothes are already in preparation, and it will be ready within a few days."

Zhao Dan stopped and looked at Yu Xin's face.

Yu Xin is lying.

After all, for Yu Xin, these orphans are not worth paying attention to, and it doesn’t matter how much they die.

Few people at the top care about the life and death of the lowest class people, whether in ancient times or in modern times.

Zhao Dan snorted heavily and said, "I will see that all the children here put on clothes before tomorrow, otherwise."

Zhao Dan glared at Yu Xin fiercely and did not continue to say anything, but everyone present could hear the deep anger.

This Yu Xin usually looks quite smart, why is he so unreasonable in this matter!

Zhao Dan waved his hand and said, "It's windy outside, let the children go into the house first! Queen, you will also take Henger Yier in."

There were servants on the side who brought the children into the house.

After all the orphans entered the house, Zhao Dan spoke with a frosty face.

"What I said before is considered a storm? I repeat it here again today. The Eagle Camp is a big event. Anything about the Eagle Camp must be treated carefully and completed successfully. Do you understand?"

Zhao Dan was indeed very annoyed.

Originally, the war orphan camp of the Chicken Eagle Camp was set up next to the Northern Army camp, which was deliberately done by Zhao Dan.

Generally speaking, in this era, soldiers will be raising orphans by their brothers and uncles.

But that does not mean that every soldier in Zhao who died in battle has brothers and uncles. The Eagle Camp collected thousands of orphans in just a few days. This is a proof.

Zhao Dan just wanted to let the Northern Army, Southern Army and even the entire Zhao State soldiers know that you can fight for me with confidence, even if you die in battle, I can raise your children for you and let your descendants continue.

As a result, they turned out to be what they are now. These orphans looked like beggars, looking like they were not full or warm in food.

If the soldiers of Zhao State knew that the children would be treated like this after their death, who would have fought for Zhao Dan?

The significance of this Eagle Camp to Zhao Dan is more than that.

When these orphans who lost their relatives grew up in this eagle camp, Zhao Dan could send people to train them in a targeted manner, and perhaps they could train excellent soldiers, generals, officials, and even spies or killers from here.

More importantly, those who come out of this eagle camp are the easiest group of people who instill the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor. As long as they grow up, they will definitely be the most loyal group of people in the future.

Compared with these benefits, the small expenses of establishing the Eagle Camp are simply not worth mentioning.

So Zhao Dan's roar continued.

"This Eagle Camp has the minimum requirement for food and clothing. Even this cannot be done. What is the point of setting up this Eagle Camp? In the future, the supply of materials here will be directly allocated by the Northern Army Camp, and the level is the same as that of the Northern Army soldiers. The defense here will also be the Northern Army soldiers! Do you understand?"

Ju Xin, deputy general of the Northern Army, said with a sigh of relief and then said, "No!"

After all, the Eagle Camp will accept many orphans from the Northern Army soldiers in the future, and letting the Northern Army handle materials and defense directly is obviously the safest choice.

Zhao Dan looked at Lieutenant Lie Bo again: "Li Qing, you immediately order all counties and counties that any war orphans must be reported immediately! This is included in the above plan as a routine assessment!"

As soon as this sentence was said, the ministers present in Zhao's hearts were shocked, knowing that their king was really playing this time.

To put it bluntly, the annual performance assessment is directly related to the promotion of officials in Zhao State. If war orphans are included in political achievements, local officials must take it seriously.

Zhao Dan turned his attention to Si Kou and Zhao Bao: "Pingyang Jun, Tong Ling Si Kou belongs to you. You must monitor this matter in the future! Anyone who has brothers and uncles in the country bullies orphans must be severely punished! Then all the orphans are sent here, do you understand?"

Zhao Bao did not dare to be negligent and said hurriedly: "I understand."

Zhao Dan turned his gaze to Miao Xian again: "Miao Qing, your supervisory guards should also pay attention to this matter, so as not to deceive others and hide their subordinates!"

Miao Xian also agreed.
