Ming Dynasty: The Crocodile King of Han Prince Zhu Gaoxu's Family

Chapter 108 I wish you good luck in military affairs!

After lunch, Zhu Zhanhe still had a sword hanging from his waist, a crown on his head, and armor on his body, and he walked slowly to the training ground again.

At this moment, the parade ground was already filled with soldiers from the heavy cavalry battalion. Zhu Zhanhe didn't hesitate and went straight to the platform.

"According to the requirements at noon! We will start from this afternoon, and compete in martial arts to select the strongest group of people to serve as commanders!" Zhu Zhanhe looked at the enthusiastic eyes below and spoke.

"My heavy cavalry battalion has a total of 1,800 soldiers!

There are also 18 small flag officers.

Five general flag officers,
One captain and one deputy captain!
One captain and one deputy captain!
So the goal you are competing for is
A deputy captain!
A deputy captain,
A general,
Five general flags,

Eighteen small flags,
There are a total of twenty-six positions! "Every time Zhu Zhanhe said the name of a position, the eyes of the people present became more eager! Until finally, they were completely filled with enthusiasm!
"Now, divide yourselves into two hundred households, and everyone will compete in turn!

In this competition, you must wear armor, hold weapons, mount a horse, and fight one-on-one! The one who lands on the ground loses!

The winner rests and waits for the next round! Let's fight till we get the twenty-six people we need!

It is very easy to divide our huge training ground into eighteen combat areas!

You little flags, the generals, if you lose, don't cry!" Zhu Zhanhe waved his hand, pointing to the huge parade ground in front of him, and said loudly, reminding the current officers not to cause trouble!
"Of course, you can also compete for my position as a captain!
But this requires your number one to come!

If he wins, my captain position will be his, and I'll be the deputy captain!
However, even though I'm the deputy commander, I'm still your commander-in-chief!" Zhu Zhanhe looked at the eager crowd and made a little joke to ease the tense atmosphere.

"I've given you a chance, it's up to you whether you can seize it!
Also, we are all brothers, brothers who eat from the same pot! If you can win, don't kill them!
Now, let’s get started!

I'm looking forward to your first place winner coming to me!" Zhu Zhanhe waved his hand and announced the start of today's competition!
In an instant, the scene was filled with noise.

Zhu Zhanhe winked at Liu Erniu beside him, and Liu Erniu understood instantly. With a wave of his hand, he led the guards around him to disperse to various venues to observe the actual battle situation.

Zhu Zhanhe himself sat on the high platform, watching everything below.

Somehow, Zhu Zhanhe suddenly understood Prince Han and his desire to compete for the throne.

After all, just now, as soon as I spoke a word, thousands of people surged below, which really made me feel happy! Moreover, if I sat on the throne, wouldn’t everyone be subservient to me...

There were also continuous cheers from the eighteen scattered competition venues below.

"Charge! Charge!"

"Crack, snap"

"Oh, drive!"

“Ha! Hey!”…

The noisy and chaotic sounds at the scene continued until late at night, and Zhu Zhanhe sat on the high platform waiting until late at night.

In the end, a total of twenty-six people stood out, stood below the platform, and looked at Zhu Zhanhe on the platform with excited eyes!
"What are you doing standing on the stage?
Everyone come to the stage!
You are the strongest people in my heavy cavalry battalion!
You deserve to stand on a high place and enjoy the admiring gazes of everyone!
Come!
Come up to the platform!" Zhu Zhanhe looked at the twenty-six elites who were hand-picked from thousands of miles away, standing in front of everyone below the platform.

They all looked a little disheveled, with some having bruised faces and noses, some with messy hair, some with black eye sockets, and some even had broken arms!

But they still stood straight! So Zhu Zhanhe invited them to come up to the platform and accept everyone's inspection!
After hearing Zhu Zhanhe's words, everyone in the audience was extremely excited! They were simply not worthy enough in front of the real superiors!
The fact that the Prince of Han could give them such courtesy made everyone very excited.

"Come up!" Zhu Zhanhe waved his hand, and immediately Liu Erniu and others on the side moved all the tables on the platform away with great foresight, leaving a spacious open space.

Seeing this, the twenty-six people in the audience were eager and excited as they walked towards the stage one by one.

After Zhu Zhanhe watched everyone go on stage, he stood at the edge of the platform.

"Everyone, raise your heads and look at these 26 people on the platform. They are role models for all of you!
They were chosen from among you, and flew out on their own ability!
I, Zhu Zhanhe, am not sure how long I can be your commander!
But as long as I'm here, this is my rule!
The strong are respected!
For me, I don't care about your background! I don't care about family background! I don't care about whether you are legitimate or illegitimate! I don't care about your appearance! I only care about your ability!
From now on, as long as I, Zhu Zhanhe, am still in command of you, I will hold a grand competition every year!

Just like now! The winner goes up, the loser goes down!" Zhu Zhanhe looked at the crowd below and said something that made everyone even more excited.

In an instant, Zhu Zhanhe felt that the eyes of the people below seemed to be glowing green.

"Now, let's get back to the topic!
"First person, step out!" Zhu Zhanhe did not call out the name directly, but instead called out the first person to step out.

"I am Qian Zhongcai, your Excellency!" As Zhu Zhanhe finished speaking, a tall, plump, slightly ugly man, like a fat pig, stepped out. He walked in front of Zhu Zhanhe, knelt on one knee, and began to salute.

"Stand up!" Zhu Zhanhe frowned as he looked at the man kneeling on the ground and said loudly.

"You are the number one in our heavy cavalry battalion! You must set an example for them. Stand up!
"Look at me!" Zhu Zhanhe shouted to Qian Zhongcai to stand up! At the same time, he waved his hand and Liu Erniu came up with a plate.

When Qian Zhongcai heard Zhu Zhanhe's dissatisfied voice, his heart trembled, but he still gritted his teeth and stood up.

Zhu Zhanhe looked at Qian Zhongcai who stood up tremblingly, walked up to him, took his hand and led him to the center of the platform.

Then, he took out a token symbolizing the deputy captain from the plate held by Liu Erniu and personally hung it around Qian Zhongcai's waist.

"I wish you good luck in military affairs!" After Zhu Zhanhe hung the token on Qian Zhongcai, he took a step back, patted his chest, and saluted Qian Zhongcai!
Everyone on and off the stage were stunned by Zhu Zhanhe's actions, especially Qian Zhongcai, who had been ugly since childhood and ate a lot!

Originally, when Qian Zhongcai was paying his respects to Zhu Zhanhe, he was scolded by Zhu Zhanhe. He thought that he had offended this important person and was prepared to be stripped of his rank or even beaten.

Who would have thought that this nobleman in front of him would personally put on his waist badge symbolizing the deputy captain, and even saluted him. In just a moment, Qian Zhongcai felt his eyes blurred!
"I wish you good luck in military affairs!" Qian Zhongcai didn't know what to say, but he patted his chest heavily, stood up straight with his fat body, and responded loudly to the person in front of him who gave him rebirth!
Everyone present was stunned, their eyes bloodshot as they stared at Qian Zhongcai in front of them, wishing they could replace him!
