The stupid son of Chongba

Chapter 154: Playing unconventionally! Zhu Ju recruited personal guards!

After hearing about this reward and punishment system, Zhu Di and his companions became even more excited!
Originally, they were a little hesitant and didn't dare to recruit too many soldiers because they were worried about not being able to pay the military salaries. Now that Dad has said so, what else is there to worry about?
Summon! Summon to death!
As long as you surpass your brothers, all the extra money is free profit!

At this moment, Zhu Ju finally yawned and slowly walked down the platform.

He stood in front of a soldier in the first row and asked:

"Brother, where are you from? What is your rank in the military?"

The soldier was slightly stunned.

Is this to chat with him?

"To answer your question, I am from Kuaiji and I am just an ordinary soldier in the army!"

The soldier responded.

Zhu Ju nodded, suddenly grinned, and slapped him on the shoulder.

"Okay, very spirited!"

He praised and said,
"Now, I promote you to Captain Wulf, my Kuaiji boy!"

"Follow me, don't get lost!"

The soldier looked shocked.

what? What?
With just this one sentence, he was promoted directly?

For a moment, he couldn't believe it!

But as soon as he saw Zhu Ju leaving, he hurriedly followed him, chasing closely behind Zhu Ju.

From an ordinary soldier to a captain, although it is only a promotion of one level, the difference is actually huge! It is the difference between a private and a low-level commander!

He chopped off the heads of two Yuan soldiers on the battlefield, but was only awarded two more military merits and did not receive a promotion.

If you want to get promoted, you have to chop off at least three more heads!

I don't know if I can chop off those three heads...

In addition, the treatment of Wu Fuchang was much higher than that of ordinary soldiers! The monthly military salary was more than 15 cents, and he could also get rice, salt, and even meat!

Therefore, Zhu Ju only said a few words, and he followed Zhu Ju closely as if possessed...

"Where are you from, young man? What is your rank in the military?"

"Your Highness! I am from Bozhou and I am a captain in the army!"

"Very good! I will now promote you to the rank of centurion. My brothers from Bozhou, follow me and don't fall behind!"

"Yes! Your Highness!"

"What about you? Tell me who you are!"

"Your Highness, I am from Jiangning, and my position is the captain of ten men!"

"Very good, my Jiangning buddy, now you are a centurion!"

"Ah! Thank you, Your Highness!!!"

Zhu Ju didn't choose either. Whenever he walked up to a soldier, he would directly ask about his hometown and rank without any nonsense.

You will be promoted to a higher level immediately after asking!
Who wouldn’t be confused after seeing this?
Especially those centurions, they were very excited at this moment!
The transition from decurion to centurion is definitely a very difficult gap for ordinary soldiers to cross! The ceiling for ordinary soldiers is decurion!

With just one sentence from Zhu Ju, they directly crossed the class barrier and achieved a tenfold increase in their power and status!
Who can stand this?

In an instant, the field fell into chaos!
"Your Highness, I am from Gaochun, and I am also a centurion in the army!"

"Your Highness! Look at me, look at me! I am Captain Wulf, and I am willing to join your guard and fight for you!"

"Your Highness!"

"..."

All of a sudden, the soldiers on the field surged and rushed towards Zhu Ju!
As long as you introduce yourself and join the King of Wu's guard, you can be directly promoted to a higher level!
No soldier could resist such a temptation! Especially ordinary soldiers and centurions, for them, this was like pie in the sky! Directly achieving class promotion!

At this moment, the soldiers who had signed up with Zhu Gang and Zhu Di were also ready to move:
"Your Highness Prince Jin, I think... forget it. I think Your Highness Prince Wu is more suitable for me."

"Your Highness Prince Zhou, it's not that your place is not good, but I think Your Highness Prince Wu's place has more prospects."

"Your Highness, Prince Qin, I'm sorry... Goodbye, goodbye..."

For a moment, the personal guards that Zhu Gang and others had gathered together after shouting at the top of their lungs, all wanted to run away!

Here is one or two taels of silver as military pay.

Over there, it's a direct promotion! Anyone would know what to choose!

When Zhu Di saw that his people also showed signs of wanting to leave, he immediately shouted:

"Let's see who dares to move!"

"It would be fine if you weren't recruited, but now that you've followed me, you must be loyal!"

"If anyone dares to leave, don't blame me for being rude!"

In this situation, he could only show his ferocious look and forcefully suppress these people under his command!

Otherwise, these people would definitely all run away!

Sure enough, Zhu Di's words shocked the soldiers under his command, and they all showed a look of regret.

If I had known earlier, I would have waited a little longer. Why are you in such a hurry to choose someone?

Such heaven-shaking wealth!
Seeing that Zhu Di was under effective control, Zhu Gang and Zhu Chong followed suit and shouted:
"Who dares to leave!"

"Don't leave! Anyone who leaves now will be betraying me! I won't forgive him!"

Zhu Gang and Zhu Chong could at least show off a little bit of authority to intimidate others, but the honest Zhu Chong really had no skills in this regard.

Unable to show off his power, he could only plead:

"Everyone, everyone, don't leave..."

"I'll give you a raise! We don't have many of us, and you're all my personal guards. In the future, you'll definitely be more than just sergeants!"

"Don't go, don't go!"

"Ugh!"

Seeing that his words couldn't keep people, Zhu Su was almost in tears!

Only now did he know what it felt like to be sad! There was no time more sad than this moment!

boom!
On the stage, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up suddenly and said angrily:

"This little bastard, what is he going to do!"

"He has given every one of these people official titles! He... he is crazy!"

Old Zhu never expected that Zhu Ju would do such a thing!
The key is, no one gave him this power!

Directly promoting all soldiers with just one sentence was a power only a wartime marshal had! Even a wartime marshal would not use such power easily!
Unless it is a life-or-death war, the marshal will use such a promise to motivate the soldiers!
"This this……"

"Your Highness, Prince Wu, you are too bold! He is really..."

"Amazing, really awesome, so daring..."

All the generals, including Tang He, were stunned at this moment.

Everyone knew that the King of Wu was up to something, but no one expected that he would do something like this!

What on earth was he thinking? How dare he do that?!
Unbelievable!

"Hahahaha, what did I say?"

But Xu Da laughed out loud at this moment and said,

"There's no need to worry about this kid. He always takes the unconventional approach!"

"Your Majesty, how is it? It's your turn to have a headache now, right? I see that all the soldiers have now gathered under the command of His Royal Highness the King of Wu. If you reimburse 80% of the military pay, it will be a considerable sum!"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "!!!"

Hearing these words, Lao Zhu became so angry that his face turned black.

"This little bastard!"

"Boss, go stop him for me! Don't let him do anything wrong! We don't need so many officers in the Ming Dynasty!"

At the order, Zhu Biao could only hold his forehead and stand up helplessly.

As expected, you can’t speculate based on common sense. This guy may give you a big blow at any time!
"Your Majesty, please don't be impatient..."

Xu Da said with a smile,
"I think that His Royal Highness the King of Wu should still have some sense of propriety, and there is nothing wrong with his thinking."

"In fact, when we were recruiting soldiers in person, we also relied on deception at the beginning to trick people into joining us first!"

"Do you remember when we left Guo Zixing and went to Dingyuan with only 18 people? At that time, we had no people and no money. How did we recruit soldiers?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression eased a little, and a hint of reminiscence appeared in his eyes.

"At that time..."

He murmured,

"You were in charge of recruiting soldiers at that time, right? In just half a year, you recruited several thousand people!"

"We praised you at that time for creating a miracle!"

Xu Da smiled and said:
"What kind of miracle? It's nothing but a scam!"

"Our operation at that time was similar to that of His Royal Highness the King of Wu. We recruited soldiers under the banner of the righteous army, saying that anyone who came would be an officer! Each person would receive a salary of two taels of silver!"

"At that time, we didn't have that much money! But as long as we had people, we had money! Maybe it was cheating at the beginning, but in the end, who among these people who didn't die was not an officer? Who didn't receive the full amount of military pay?"

"In the end, all the deceptions we used at the beginning became fulfilled promises!"

After hearing this, Tang He nodded and said with a smile:
"That's right! At that time, I was penniless, and I had to rely on fraud and deception to build a team, and gave all kinds of promises! But I also had confidence at that time. Following Big Brother, I would definitely be able to accomplish something earth-shattering!"

Seeing his two uncles reminiscing about the past, Zhu Biao also stopped what he was doing.

"Dad, it seems that what I am doing now is quite similar to the style of you, Uncle Xu, and Uncle Tang back then!"

He smiled and said,
"Please don't be angry. Let's just wait and see what happens. How about that?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly.

"Can the present be compared with the past? Humph... let him promise, and we will embarrass him later!"

"See how he ends up!"

You like to make big promises and nonsense promises, right?

Just wait! Your pie will be broken soon! When the time comes, these old soldiers will make trouble and you will be in big trouble!
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang was no longer in a hurry to beat Zhu Ju. He crossed his arms across his chest, looking like he was watching a show.

"The number of places is limited, the number of places is limited!"

"Hey, you guys, help me count the heads. How many people have joined my team now?"

Seeing the soldiers so enthusiastic, Zhu Ju couldn't help but smile and asked.

"Your Highness, I'm counting! There are already five or six thousand!"

"Your Highness, there are so many people lining up that I can't even count them. I remember there were 15,000 people in total this time. Excluding those left behind by the other princes, the rest should have come here! I'll just subtract them and you'll know. Counting the number of people is too troublesome!"

"..."

Zhu Ju nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand:
"Tell them I'm only recruiting 10,000 men! I can't use too many personal guards!"

"Tell them to hurry up and grab one of the 10,000 spots. If they can't get in, they'll be useless. I don't want useless people like them!"

At the command, the crowd became more and more turbulent!

Ten thousand places mean ten thousand opportunities for promotion!

No one wants to miss it. Although 10,000 places is a lot, there are more than 15,000 people in the venue, which means that one-third of the people will still not get this rare opportunity!

That would be really hard to come by!

"Old Six, is he crazy?"

Zhu Gang opened his mouth wide, looking shocked.
"How dare he promise this? Will the emperor tolerate this?"

"This……"

Directly promising a promotion in military rank, isn't this a huge act of usurpation?
"Who knows..."

Zhu Su looked at the few people in front of him and said with a look of resentment,
"There doesn't seem to be any movement from the emperor's side. This should mean that he tacitly approves of what he did..."

Upon hearing this, the princes looked towards the platform.

Although the distance was a bit far and I couldn't see my father's expression clearly, he did have his arms folded across his chest, looking indifferent.

"Damn it! He has robbed all our people! We are now left alone!"

Zhu Gang said with an unhappy look on his face,
"Let's make a promise! How about that?"

"It's all the King of Qin! If he can do it, we can do it too!"

Zhu Di couldn't help but sneer when he heard this.

"Three, did you get kicked in the head by a donkey? How dare you do such a thing?"

He said,

"There are some things that Zhu Ju can do, but we absolutely cannot do!"

"If you don't believe me, try it. When the time comes, your father will tear your head off. Don't blame your brothers for not pleading for you!"

Zhu Fan: "..."

Zhu Di's words were merciless, and Zhu Gang listened with a look of reluctance.

But in the end, he could only sigh.

"Oh! All right!"

"Who told him that Lao Liu is favored? Being favored means he can do whatever he wants. I surrender!"

Lao Liu is a very daring person, and with someone backing him up, he can naturally do whatever he wants.

They don't have these two conditions!

Then we can only follow the rules honestly...

"Okay, stop complaining! Just keep doing your job well!"

Zhu Di waved his hand and said,
"He said he would only recruit 10,000 people, so we can only eat his leftovers, but at least there are still 5,000 left!"

"This is related to the organization of our respective guards. Five hundred, one thousand, or two thousand, that's a world of difference!"

"Keep going!"

Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang both nodded.

It was about the number of his personal guards, so he couldn't let his guards down! Even if he couldn't recruit 10,000 like Zhu Ju, he should at least have a thousand, right?

Anyway, I must not be like Lao Wu, with only a few dozen people around me...

There are more servants accompanying us on the trip than just these!

"Don't be fooled by the generous treatment offered by the King of Wu. What I, Zhu Di, can give you is not bad either!"

Zhu Di shouted to the soldiers,

"I can't promise you a promotion directly, but as long as you follow me, Zhu Di, promotion will be easy! Soldiers who follow me now will definitely become sergeants or centurions in the future!"

"You should know that the place where I will be enfeoffed in the future is Yandi! I emphasize again! If you follow me, there will be no shortage of battles to fight! There will be no shortage of opportunities to make meritorious deeds!"

He followed suit, and although he didn't dare to promise promotion as blatantly as Zhu Ju did, he also included such words in his speech and gave guarantees secretly.

The bigger the pie, the more soldiers it attracted.

Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang also followed suit, clumsily painting big rosy pictures for the veteran soldiers.

Only Zhu Su looked as if he wanted to cry but had no tears.

"I think I should give up..."

His future fiefdom will be in the Central Plains, which is a peaceful place. There will be no wars at all, so there will naturally be no stories to tell and no big plans to make.

In addition, he was a simple and honest person who didn't know how to say sweet words. Seeing his brothers shouting enthusiastically and more and more people gathered around him, he decided to lie down and let it go...

"With the help of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wu, the other princes have also become familiar with the situation." Tang He couldn't help but exclaimed in amazement when he saw the soldiers in the army formation move.

"It's a real skill to be able to attract so many veterans!"

The other generals also echoed:
"Yeah! It's good enough to get them moving! I originally thought that these guys would remain indifferent and ignore the princes!"

"Well, although you are driven by profit, you need to provide benefits to recruit soldiers! Otherwise, who will work for you?"

"That makes sense! The princes are indeed the sons of His Majesty. They are all talented and intelligent, and are natural leaders! Especially His Royal Highness the Prince of Wu..."

Zhu Yuanzhang sat in the main seat, listening to the flattery of the generals and soldiers, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised and a look of some pride.

Our son, how could he be any worse?

Each of them is a top talent! They will all play a leading role in the future!

hum!

"It looks like my little brother is going to win."

Zhu Biao laughed and said,

"His place is overcrowded now. If you can't get a place there, you will choose to go to the second, third, and fourth brothers' places."

"No one cares about the fifth one..."

"Tsk tsk, I will have a prince's guard of 10,000 men in the future! Wow, more than me!"

All the guards of the Eastern Palace added together only have about six or seven thousand people!

Zhu Yuanzhang curled his lips and snorted:
"Recruiting people is just the first step. Once we recruit them, we still have to see if we can absorb them."

"He'd better be careful not to eat too much!"

……

After a while.

The recruitment work, which was in full swing, has finally come to an end.

Zhu Ju had already taken the lead in recruiting 10,000 people, and the 10,000-strong army was standing behind him, all of them looking very happy.

"Congratulations, Captain Wu!"

"Congratulations, brother! You have suddenly become a centurion!"

"Hahaha, congratulations, congratulations! I didn't expect that I could pick up such a big benefit after coming out!"

"hey-hey……"

The veteran soldiers congratulated each other, and each of them was beaming with joy because of their promotion and wealth.

Those soldiers who tried their best to join Zhu Ju's team were all dejected and could only turn around and join the teams of the other princes.

Although there is no promise of direct promotion, at least there is some hope!
Apart from Zhu Ju, the one with the largest number of people following him is Zhu Di, while Zhu Chong and Zhu Gang are almost the same.

As for Zhu Su, his number is so small that he can almost be ignored...

Seeing that most of the princes had been recruited, Xu Da stood up with a smile and walked to the front of the stage.

"Wow, they're all good!"

He glanced around, smiled and waved,
"Come on! Count the number of people and see how many guards each prince has recruited!"

As soon as the words came out, dozens of soldiers came forward and quickly counted the number of people.

However, there were more than 15,000 people present, and even if the efficiency was high, it still took a lot of effort to count them.

Of course, Zhu Su was the most relaxed and gave a response in a flash:

"General, His Royal Highness King Zhou has recruited fifty-seven people!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone on the stage laughed.

Zhu Yuanzhang said speechlessly:
"What should we do with Laowu? He is too honest and weak."

"It's too different from the others!"

At first glance, there was no need to mention Zhu Ju. Zhu Di, Zhu Gang and Zhu Chong were also surrounded by quite a few people, which looked like they were being protected by personal guards.

Zhu Su, so pitiful...

"Dad, you don't have to worry. Lao Wu's talent is just not here."

Zhu Biao smiled and comforted him,
"Didn't grandpa say when he appeared in spirit that the fifth child is actually very talented? Maybe all the good deeds of our Zhu family depend on him!"

"Where there is martial arts, there is literature. The fifth child is a well-mannered child, which is also good."

After hearing these words, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

"That's true. It's not necessary for every prince to defend the country. It seems that it's right to confer the title of King of Zhou on him."

At this moment, a voice came from Zhu Chong:

"Inventory completed! His Royal Highness Prince Qin has recruited 756 people!"

At the same time, voices were heard from two other places:

"The inventory is complete! His Royal Highness Prince Jin is recruiting 1,330 people!"

"His Royal Highness Prince Yan is recruiting 2,018 people!"

After hearing the soldier's report, Tang He also laughed.

"It seems that among all the princes, His Royal Highness Prince Yan is indeed the most outstanding."

He said to Zhu Yuanzhang,

"Your Majesty, for some reason, I am particularly optimistic about Prince Yan. I always feel that he has the aura of a leader."

"Maybe he can become a great general of the Ming Dynasty in the future!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly.

"The third and fourth are both good, and the second... is just OK."

"The fourth kid is quite similar to us. He has a quick mind and some skills. Although he is a little immature... he can definitely be trained."

It can be seen that he was quite satisfied with Zhu Di's performance.

It was my first time to officially come into contact with soldiers, and being able to attract two thousand people with just a shout was already pretty good!

Of course, he can't be compared with that little bastard Zhu Ju.

"His Royal Highness King Wu, the count is complete! One hundred and three hundred and twenty-seven people!"

A voice was heard, and all the generals widened their eyes.

Although I was mentally prepared, I was still shocked to hear this number!

In one breath, he recruited an entire army!

"One thousand three hundred and twenty-seven? How come there are more than three hundred extra people?"

Zhu Ju said with some dissatisfaction,

"I have obsessive compulsive disorder, I have to be neat and tidy!"

"Whoever sneaked in last, get out of here as soon as possible!"

However, his words were of no use at this moment. The soldiers were all indifferent and no one withdrew.

What a joke!
Who would be willing to give up the promotion opportunity that has been obtained!

"okay!"

Xu Da laughed and said,

"Three hundred and twenty-seven more is fine! We have already recruited ten thousand men, so we can make no difference with these three hundred and twenty-seven more men!"

"My princes, please stand in front."

Dengdeng.

All the princes stepped onto the stage to review their generals.

"His Royal Highness the King of Wu performed the best in recruiting personal guards this time, and he actually recruited more than 10,000 people!"

Xu Da said in a deep voice,
"The performances of the other princes are also remarkable, but His Royal Highness Prince Zhou... still needs to work harder! Fifty-seven people cannot support a personal guard. At least three hundred people are needed..."

Zhu Su lowered his head in shame.

"According to your majesty's wishes, the court will provide 80% of the military salary subsidy for the one who recruits the most people, so..."

As he was speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly stood up and walked to the front.

"Sixth brother, just now you said you wanted to promote them, from private to sergeant, and sergeant to decurion. I don't think I gave you this authority, did I?"

Old Zhu said with his hands behind his back,

"Let me be frank with you. I don't agree with what you said!"

As soon as these words came out, the soldiers behind Zhu Ju were instantly in an uproar!

The emperor doesn't recognize it?!
So, were all the promotions that His Royal Highness the King of Wu promised them fake? Was he just playing a trick on them?!

For a moment, the smiles on their faces disappeared.

When Zhu Gang heard this, he laughed secretly.

"This Sixth Brother has gone too far! He made such a big fuss, but in the end, the Emperor doesn't recognize him at all!"

"Let's see how he ends up. Over 10,000 people... one spit from each of them can drown him!"

After hearing this, Zhu Di felt much better.

He was originally a little unbalanced, thinking that his father was too partial to Zhu Ju by giving him such great power.

What he never expected was that Zhu Ju had arranged that power for himself!
Now, if the more than 10,000 people under his command start to make trouble, they might all run away! By then, they would be no match for his two thousand men!

Swish!
When Zhu Ju heard this, he seemed to have expected it and did not look panicked at all.

He turned around suddenly and shouted:

"What are you fussing about!"

"Everything I promised you will be fulfilled! Even if the Emperor doesn't recognize it, I will! It's just a matter of time! As long as you all listen to me, there will be plenty of opportunities to achieve great things!"

"I'm warning you now, be quiet! When you board my ship, I may not be able to see your appearance clearly, and I don't know who you are, but if anyone makes a scene now, or wants to run away and betray me, I will definitely remember you!"

"When the time comes, just wait for me to kill you! You can go out and find out who I am, Zhu Ju!"

Soldiers: "!!!"

This is a shameless and outrageous threat!
It’s a matter of sooner or later… who knows how sooner or later it will be! We still have to make achievements!

It was said that you would be an officer when you arrived?

The veteran soldiers all looked angry at this moment, but they did not dare to make trouble.

Whoever takes the lead in causing trouble will definitely be remembered by the King of Wu, and will be subjected to endless suffering!

Fortunately, these guys are all experienced. If there were a few youngsters, they might not be afraid of authority and would lead the riot! Now everyone wants to take advantage of what is already available, and no one is willing to stand up and make the first move to attract all the firepower.

In this way, a delicate balance is maintained.

“Yoho…”

"This kid is really good..."

Xu Da was a little surprised.

Zhu Ju’s methods were quite good. He remained calm in the face of danger and calmed the situation down in no time.

"Dad, you said I don't have the power to promote them. I don't blame you. But you said just now that you would reimburse 80% of the military pay. You can't cheat, right?"

Zhu Ju raised his head and said,
"This can still be fulfilled, right?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned dark.

You don't blame me? Why do you blame me?

There is something wrong with what you said!

"Hehe, when have we ever gone back on our word?"

Old Zhu said,
"As long as you can control this group of people, we will reimburse you 80%!"

Zhu Ju nodded and turned to look at the soldiers behind him.

"You all heard it!"

He said loudly,

"Now I declare that I will give you the treatment after the promotion!"

"Captain Wu of the army, the monthly salary is 1 tael and 5 cents, I will pay you according to that!"

"Three taels for the captain of the corps, I will pay you according to that! Other welfare benefits, including food, rice, and meat, will also be included in your calculations!"

"I won't play tricks on you. I'll send it out right now! It's only been ten days since the beginning of this month. I'll send you 80% of it first!"

Having said that, Zhu Ju turned to look at Zhu Yuanzhang and stretched out his hand.

"Father, please?"

"As for the 80% you mentioned, pay my guards now! As for the remaining 20%, I will find a way myself when the time comes."

Zhu Yuanzhang: "..."

"How can we pay the soldiers in the first ten days of the month?"

Old Zhu said angrily,

"Military salaries are paid at the end of the month! Just wait!"

Zhu Ju was unhappy when he heard this.

"They are ordinary soldiers. How can they be the same as my personal guards? My personal guards have to be paid every ten days! Otherwise, how can we show the superiority of the Prince's Guards?"

He retorted,

"Will you pay it or not? As the great Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, can't you afford to pay the army this little?"

"If you don't send it, hmph... I'm not kidding, I'm not cheating, once you open your mouth, you'll be fine..."

Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned dark again.

This kid is mocking him here!
"Your Highness, King Wu, His Majesty didn't say he wouldn't send it..."

Seeing this, Xu Da hurriedly tried to smooth things over,
"Of course they will be paid, but the court has a system that requires military pay to be calculated in the middle of the month and paid out in the second half of the month."

"Even if you want to expedite it, you still have to go through the process, right? It will take at least three to five days to deliver the military pay for 10,000 people..."

Ten thousand people, and every one of them starts as Captain Wu!

This amount of money would cost more than 20,000 taels of silver! For such a large sum of money, the Five Military Commands Office had to get the payment from the Ministry of Revenue before it could issue the money!

"it is good!"

Zhu Ju said very straightforwardly,

"Then wait three to five days! We must speed up!"

"I can't let my guards go hungry! They have elderly parents and young children to take care of, it's not easy!"

As he said this, he turned his head and looked at the soldiers, smiling:

"Is what the king said right?"

"Yes!" Suddenly, there was a roar of thunder and sea! The smiles on everyone's faces... Hey, it's back again!

I originally thought that the King of Wu was a rogue who went back on his word.

Unexpectedly, he really seeks benefits for everyone! Why do you join the army? It's nothing more than that little bit of treatment and the power to command subordinates!

I just don’t have the power now…and besides, it’s useless even if I had it!
Damn, if everyone gets promoted one level, doesn't that mean none of them got promoted? You got promoted to captain, and so did I, but I don't even have a private, who can I command?

But...the welfare benefits are real!
If you want to find an army that will receive its pay in the first half of the month, go around the entire Ming Dynasty and you’ll find one.

There is only one such store, no other!
