Chapter 48: I just want elite soldiers, not waste soft eggs.
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 journey to the West was all tropical.
Due to the hot weather, people often sweat, which can easily cause salt deficiency.
In order to maintain homeostasis, it is necessary to drink salt water to maintain homeostasis.
Over time, it has become a habit for the soldiers of the escort battalion to bring salt with them and drink them together.
Even if they go back to Daming, they will carry salt with them, and if they don't carry it, they always feel that there is something missing.
Therefore, when the escort battalion was rationed with equipment and supplies, Zhu Zhangui also added salt to it at the application 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, pinched the small bottle and was stunned for a long time before coming back to his senses.
He glared at the soldier viciously, bit the cork of the small bottle, poured out a small 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 bold soldier go out, not only were they not punished, but they really ate mutton.
For a while, my heart was in turmoil.
After a while, another soldier couldn't help it.
From last night to now, they have not eaten all night and half a day, and after standing all morning, they are already so hungry that their chests are pressed against their backs.
Now as long as you shout, you can eat meat that you may not be able to see for a few days, and it is also high-quality mutton, who can bear it.
The soldiers, who couldn't help it, shouted at the top of their throats without waiting for the officers of the escort battalion to come and tempt them.
"I'm convinced!"
Then his boss glared, quickly ran out of the queue, and ate mutton with a happy face.
I saw another person running out, and he didn't even get scolded.
The Shenji Battalion herded the sheep all of a sudden.
"I'm convinced!" The shouts kept ringing out.
Every time it fell, a soldier ran over to eat the mutton with a happy face.
The other soldiers, who were still hesitating, saw a large group of companions, feasting around the pot where the mutton was boiled.
I'm worried that the meat will be eaten and I won't even be able to get the soup in the end.
Just gave up.
Eat meat first, and then talk about it, as for what will happen when you go out, that's a matter for later.
As the saying goes, the law does not hold the people accountable, so many people go out, can the superiors still cut them all?
There are temptations.
More than that, it's speculation that there must be a pitfall.
After all, if there is really no problem, it is impossible for the bastards in the guard battalion opposite to stand still and not even move.
Endure... You must endure it, and endure it to the end is victory.
Forcibly reminding himself not to watch the scene of eating meat, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion with a firm mind gritted their teeth and insisted on it.
"Yes, there are still seventy percent of people who are insisting."
Zhu Zhangui, who was sitting on the platform, looked at the remaining soldiers of the Shenji Battalion who were still holding on, and couldn't help but praise them.
It's a pity that he is complimenting, but in Liu Sheng's ears, it is deeply sarcastic.
"Your Highness, what do you want to do? Can you talk to your subordinates? ”
Zhu Zhangui glanced back at Liu Sheng and smiled mysteriously.
"I'm just removing the dross and leaving the essence behind."
After speaking, he beckoned into the distance.
Soon, more than a dozen cavalrymen carried torches and rushed to the two military formations that were still competing with each other.
A cavalryman rode to the side of the Shenji Battalion phalanx, took out a large string of firecrackers from the backpack on horseback, and looked at the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion who were still holding on with a sinister smile.
"Mother, this fucking kills!"
The soldiers of the Shenji Battalion, who noticed this scene, twitched at the corners of their eyes.
"Crackle, crackle!"
A burst of firecrackers rang out in the crowd, and debris flew in all directions along with the firelight.
"Oh, mother!"
A low howl sounded in the crowd, and a few of them couldn't stand the explosion and ran out of the range of the firecracker explosion.
"You... You... You... And you, come out..."
The soldiers who ran out of the explosion were about to wait for the firecrackers to go off before going back.
But they were pulled out by several officers, pointed in a direction in the distance, and told them to go there and wait.
"My lord, we don't have ......"
As soon as several soldiers were about to explain, the officer's eyes widened and he shouted angrily: "This is an order, and those who violate the order will be severely punished." ”
Several soldiers instantly shut their mouths and walked to the officer's designated position with their heads down.
The other soldiers who were also about to run away, seeing that these guys were unlucky, immediately dispelled the idea of dodging, and stood in place with gritted teeth.
"Crackling, crackling! ……”
"Bastard, why do you keep throwing it at us? You guys throw it over there, too? ”
The officers, who had already understood that this was a test, had already withdrawn from the phalanx by the time the cavalry threw firecrackers.
And one of the officers of the Shenji Battalion, seeing these cavalry bastards, seemed to be specifically targeting the Shenji Battalion, and the firecrackers thrown on both sides were not the same at all, so he rushed up directly to tear off the cavalry, rode on his horse, and began to throw firecrackers hard at the side of the guard battalion.
They even deliberately threw themselves at people.
"Damn, you can't afford to play, can you?"
Seeing this scene, the officer of the guard battalion stopped doing it, and also scolded and walked towards the other cavalry, ripped off the cavalry, rode up himself, and began to throw firecrackers into the opposing camp.
The officers on the side of the Shenji Battalion were suddenly unhappy when they saw that the other party went up seven or eight, and there was only one person on their side.
Bastard, there are more people and fewer people, right? Okay, let's see who has the most people?
So he rolled up his sleeves one by one, stopped even riding his horse, took out a large handful of firecrackers from the cavalry, ran to the guard camp, and threw them wildly.
The sound of crackling continued to sound in the two phalanxes, mixed with the officers of the two sides scolding each other in the air.
With the last string of firecrackers finished.
The soldiers of the two sides were disgraced and watched with resentment as the officers of the two sides withdrew from the phalanx.
These bastards are too ruthless too.
At first, I threw it to the side, but when I played hard in the back, I threw it directly to the root of the thigh.
If this thing doesn't blow up on me, I don't know how it hurts.
Watching the officers of the two sides leave with a look of resentment, many soldiers, including the soldiers of the escort battalion, couldn't help but rub the roots of their thighs.
It's so painful.
"Good!"
Zhu Zhangui nodded again and again with satisfaction.
After the two tests, there are still sixty percent left on the side of the Shenji Battalion, and the escort battalion also has losses.
More than a dozen people were carried down for treatment because of the explosion of firecrackers, which injured their eyes and other vulnerable parts.
"Your Highness, you really have a good training class! Admiration, admiration, admiration. ”
Although he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, after the two tests, Liu Sheng also had to admire the discipline quality of the soldiers in Zhu Zhangui's escort battalion.
"Hehe, this is all I played with them before, they are prepared, so I decided to add something new to them."
"New gadget?"
Liu Sheng was a little puzzled, could there be anything more powerful than this test?
Zhu Zhangui smiled mysteriously, took the two gauze nets handed over by the guards next to him, and handed one to Liu Sheng.
Liu Sheng took the sand net suspiciously, and learned to wear Zhu Zhangui on his head.
After Liu Sheng put it on, Zhu Zhangui got up and waved his hand into the distance.
Liu Sheng looked at it curiously, and his eyes widened instantly.
"Your Highness, this is too ruthless!"
Zhu Zhangui smiled slightly, and looked at the two opposing military formations in the distance with his hands behind his back.
"If you don't train hard, you can't be an elite soldier, I just need an elite soldier, don't waste soft eggs."
