I Am the Grandson of the Second Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Earning 100 Million Taels at the Beginn

Chapter 48 I only want elite soldiers, not scumbags.

Salt is a valuable item, and in some remote places, it can even be used as currency.

Soldiers carry salt with them, which is a luxury for other armies.

But this is the most common thing in Zhu Zhangui's guard camp.

Zheng He's voyages to the West were all in the tropics.

Due to the hot weather, people often sweat, which can easily cause a lack of salt.

In order to maintain homeostasis, it is necessary to drink salt water to maintain homeostasis.

Over time, it has become the habit of the guard battalion soldiers to bring salt with them and drink it together.

Even if they go back to Daming, they will still carry salt with them. If they don't carry it, they will always feel that something is missing.

So when the guard battalion was rationed with equipment and supplies, Zhu Zhangui also added salt to it at the request of the officers, which was regarded as a kind of welfare for the soldiers.

The officer of the Shenji Battalion, who was a little dazed by the soldier's operation, held the small bottle in a daze for a long time before he came back to his senses.

He glared at the soldier viciously, bit off the stopper of the small bottle, poured out a handful, sprinkled it on the mutton, and took a hard bite.

People have a herd mentality.

The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, after seeing the brave soldier go out, not only were not punished, but actually ate the mutton.

For a while, my heart was in turmoil.

After a while, another soldier couldn't bear it anymore.

From last night to now, they hadn't eaten for half a night, and they had stood for a whole morning, so they were already so hungry that their chests were stuck to their backs.

Now as long as he shouts, he can eat meat that he may not see for a few days, and it is the best mutton, who can resist it.

The soldier who couldn't bear it, shouted at the top of his voice before the officer of the guard battalion came to tempt him.

"I am convinced!"

Then his immediate boss glared, quickly ran out of the queue, and went to eat the mutton with a happy face.

I saw another person ran out, and he didn't even get scolded.

Shenjiying immediately let go of the sheep.

"I'm convinced!" The shouts kept ringing.

Every time the sound fell, a soldier ran over to eat the mutton with a happy face.

As for the other soldiers who were still hesitating, they saw a large group of companions eating around the mutton pot.

I was worried that the meat would be eaten up, and I couldn't even get the soup in the end.

Just gave up.

Let's eat meat first. As for what will happen after going out, that's a matter for the future.

As the saying goes, the law does not blame the public, so many people go out, can the superiors still kill them all?

There are those who are tempted.

But more is guessing, there must be a trap in it.

After all, if there is really no problem, those bastards in the guard battalion on the opposite side can't stand still and not even move.

Hold back...you must hold back, hold back until the end is victory.

Forcibly reminding himself not to watch the scene of eating meat, the firm-minded soldiers of the Shenji Battalion gritted their teeth and persisted.

"That's right, [-]% of the people are still persisting."

Zhu Zhangui, who was sitting on the commander's platform, looked at the remaining soldiers of the Shenji Battalion who were still stubbornly persisting, and couldn't help but praise him.

It's a pity that he said a word of praise, but to Liu Sheng's ears, it was deeply ironic.

"Your Highness, what exactly do you want to do? Can you tell your subordinates."

Zhu Zhangui looked back at Liu Sheng and smiled mysteriously.

"I'm just removing the dross and keeping the essence."

After speaking, he waved to the distance.

Soon, more than a dozen cavalrymen, holding torches, rushed towards the two army formations that were still competing with each other.

A cavalryman rode to the side of the Shenji Battalion formation, took out a large string of firecrackers from the horse's rucksack, and looked at the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion who were still persisting with a sinister smile.

"Mother, this is fucking fatal!"

The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion who noticed this scene twitched their eyes.

"Crackling, crackling!"

A burst of firecrackers sounded in the crowd, and debris flew around with the flames.

"Oh, my mother!"

A low howl sounded from the crowd, and some of them couldn't take it anymore, and ran out of the explosion range of the firecrackers.

"You...you...you...and you, come out..."

The few soldiers who ran out of the explosion range were planning to wait for the firecrackers to finish before going back.

But they were pulled out by several officers, pointing to a direction in the distance, telling them to wait there.

"My lord, we didn't..."

Just as the soldiers were about to explain, the officer glared and shouted angrily: "This is an order, and those who violate the order will be punished severely."

Several soldiers shut their mouths for a moment, and walked to the position designated by the officer with their heads downcast.

The other soldiers who were also about to run away, seeing these guys were unlucky, immediately gave up the idea of ​​getting out of the way, gritted their teeth and stood still.

"Crackling, crackling!..."

"Bastard, why do you keep throwing it at us? Are you throwing it at your side too?"

The officers who understood that this was a test had already withdrawn from the phalanx when the cavalry threw firecrackers.

And one of the officers of the Shenji Battalion, seeing these bastard cavalrymen, seemed to be targeting the Shenji Battalion specifically. The firecrackers thrown on both sides were not the same. Throwing firecrackers hard over there.

They even deliberately threw them at people.

"Damn it, you can't afford it, can you?"

Seeing this scene, the guard battalion officer quit, and walked towards the other cavalry with curses, tore off the cavalry, rode on himself, and started throwing firecrackers into the opposing camp.

The officer at the Shenji Battalion saw that there were seven or eight people on the other side, and there was only one person on his side, and he immediately became upset.

Asshole, more people bully less people, right?OK, let's see who has more?

So they rolled up their sleeves one by one, and they didn't even ride the horses. They took out a large handful of firecrackers from the cavalry, rushed to the guard camp, and threw them wildly.

Crackling sounds continued to resound in the two phalanxes, and there were also officers from the two sides scolding each other in the air.

With the last string of firecrackers set off.

The soldiers of the two sides were ashamed and looked at the officers of the two sides withdrew from the phalanx with resentment on their faces.

These bastards are too cruel.

At the beginning, I threw it to my side, but later I played hard and threw it directly to the thigh.

If this thing doesn't blow up on me, I don't know why it hurts.

Staring at the officers of the two sides leaving with resentment, many soldiers, including those from the guard battalion, couldn't help rubbing their thighs.

Ma Dan, it hurts too much.

"very good!"

Zhu Zhangui nodded in satisfaction.

After the two tests, the Shenji Battalion still has [-]% left, and the Guard Battalion also suffered losses.

More than a dozen people were carried down for treatment because the firecrackers exploded and injured their eyes and other vulnerable parts.

"Your Highness, you are really good at training troops! I admire you."

Although he felt a little uncomfortable, after the two tests, Liu Sheng also had to admire the discipline quality of the soldiers of Zhu Zhangui's guard battalion.

"Hehe, this is what I have played against them before. They are prepared, so they won't win with force. I decided to add something new to them."

"New thing?"

Liu Sheng was a little puzzled, could there be a more severe test than this?

Zhu Zhangui smiled mysteriously, took the two gauze nets handed over by the guards around him, and handed one to Liu Sheng.

Liu Sheng took the sand net in doubt, and put it on his head like Zhu Zhangui.

After Liu Sheng put it on, Zhu Zhangui got up and waved to the distance.

Liu Sheng looked over curiously, his eyes widened instantly.

"Your Highness, this is too cruel!"

Zhu Zhangui smiled slightly, and looked at the two opposing armies fighting in the distance with his hands behind his back.

"If you don't train hard, you won't be able to have elite soldiers. I only want elite soldiers, not useless bastards."
