Even though there was no sound of gunfire, they had no intention of pursuing. Who knows if these Ming troops are still waiting for them in the dark?
"The notice goes on, no one should move. Wait until daybreak. We will rush out. By then we will have surrounded all the enemies. We will make them pay the price. Pay the price."
He was obviously scared, but Liu Tichun found such a reason. I'm afraid he also knows that once daybreak, this small Ming army will definitely retreat. At that time, he will be safe, so all he has to do now is wait.
There were no pursuers behind him, which was not beyond Zhu Changwu's expectation. After all, in this era, facing advanced weapons hundreds of years later, he would definitely be very scared if it were him.
The Dashun army did not dare to pursue, so Zhu Changwu led the victorious army back in a hurry. He saw that the soldiers were very excited, and now was the time for them to celebrate.
The atmosphere in the team was quite lively at this time. Everyone was talking excitedly about what they had seen and heard. They were sighing at the power of the new weapons. At this moment, they felt very excited about joining the Dragon Army and becoming the King of Soldiers. It has become the life goal of all these people.
"Lao Ji, do you have any ideas about becoming the first deputy commander of the Dragon Army?" Zhu Changwu rode to Ji Jinkai's side and asked with a smile.
"Can I?" Ji Jinkai replied excitedly.
"Of course, I trust you. Just by becoming the deputy commander, you cannot become the leader of thousands of households. Even the captain of ten thousand and fifty thousand will have nothing to do with you in the future. You can think carefully about whether answer me."
"This..." At this moment, Ji Jinkai really hesitated.
When he was at Lu Gongbao before, the reason why he agreed to follow Zhu Changwu to the capital was because the other party promised to make him a general. Now he is a captain of 1,000, or even 8,000, and can command tens of thousands of troops at a glance. He is an upright general, and he is not far away from the position of commander-in-chief.
Seeing that his life goal was about to be achieved, and at this time, he was asked to give up the position of captain of ten thousand men and be asked to lead the dragon soldiers. He had a fierce psychological struggle whether to agree or not.
It can be seen that Zhu Changwu is preparing to create an extremely powerful dragon soldier team with the blessing of new weapons. Ji Jinkai is convinced of this.
But at the same time, he could also feel that the number of dragon soldiers would not be very large, at least in the early stages. So how should he choose?
Ji Jinkai did not answer immediately. This was not beyond Zhu Changwu's expectation. After all, the number of dragon soldiers was too small, and affected by certain factors, the number of this army was unlikely to increase too much in a short period of time. This was inconsistent with The opponent's dream of becoming a general ran counter to his dream.
Thinking about this, Zhu Changwu believed that it was reasonable for Ji Jinkai to refuse. If this was the case, he would have to consider taking on the role of commander and captain of the dragon soldiers first. Although it would be harder in the early stage, there was nothing he could do about it.
This is also caused by the fact that Zhu Changwu really doesn't have many available people.
There is no doubt about the loyalty of Liang Jun and Hu Yunfeng, but sometimes loyalty does not mean ability. They have been with them for a long time, but because of this, their vision has been greatly limited.
There will be no problem if you give them a fixed task and let them perform it. But once the matter is urgent and they need to make the decision themselves and direct it, they are afraid that problems will arise.
These two people still need to practice a bit before entrusting them with important responsibilities when they have an overall view of the situation. It's not like Ji Jinkai is very independent. Even if he is not here, he can still lead this dragon soldier team. Zhu Changwu was the first to talk to him.
Of course, Ling Xiaoyun and Xue Changkong also performed well this time, but after all, their contact time was very short, and Zhu Changwu could not fully believe in their loyalty, so naturally he would not entrust them with important tasks now.
Just when Zhu Changwu was still thinking, if Ji Jinkai didn't agree, would he really have to take these dragon soldiers for training? Ji Jinkai, who was hesitant just now, suddenly said: "Sir, I take over the position of deputy commander."
"Did you answer it?" Zhu Changwu was both surprised and puzzled by this answer.
"Yes, I took it. Since the young master trusts me so much and gives me face, of course I will take it. Besides, when the dragon soldiers are trained into an army, if there are other suitable leadership positions in the army at that time, the young master will also You won’t forget me, right?”
Well, Ji Jinkai said this, what else could Zhu Changwu say?
He burst out laughing immediately, "Okay, Lao Ji, I know what you mean. Now the Dragon Army does need a commanding talent, so you should come here to help me first. But don't worry, From now on, when Long Bing is on the right track and there is a suitable person to succeed you, I will transfer you to the army again and become a real general."
This time, Zhu Changwu was talking about the general, not the general. Hearing this, Ji Jinkai nodded quickly, "Sir, I remember what you said. Can you not regret it in the future?"
"Haha, I won't regret it." Zhu Changwu laughed. With this deputy, he doesn't have to worry too much about the early training of the dragon soldiers. With his mind settled, he looked at the system value. It had increased by more than 8,000 points from before, to nearly 90,000.
In other words, the number of enemies killed in this battle may have reached nearly 5,000. It depends on how many heinous people were killed. After all, one person like this is worth 100 points. This is the system value. The bulk of growth.
On the way back to the city, Zhu Changwu proposed to the more than two hundred Ming army elites who followed him this time about building a dragon army. Everyone signed up voluntarily.
Of course, no one would object to this, and from the looks of it, no one had any intention of retreating or quitting.
"Very good, it's certainly a good thing that you have such an idea, but I have to say that if you don't sign up, you may become a real dragon soldier. The following training will be very strict, even a little harsh, and you will become a real dragon soldier in the future. After the Dragon Soldiers, you will encounter more dangers. If you are not strong-willed, you will not be able to persist until the end, so it is better to leave as soon as possible."
Zhu Changwu has decided to arm real dragon soldiers, which means that the weapons he invests in each dragon soldier will not be less than a thousand system points.
Based on this calculation, if we only recruit 200 people, we will still need 200,000.
This is extremely numerically consuming, so personnel must select the best among the best. Otherwise, the investment will be too great and the harvest will be very little, which will not be beneficial to future development.
Zhu Changwu stated his request, and then called Xue Changkong's name, "You don't want to participate in the Dragon Soldier training. It's better to return to Zhang Yi. He can't be left without someone to protect him."
Zhang Yi is the only scholar in Zhu Changwu's hands. He will definitely join the imperial court as an official in the future, and he will also become a high official. And because they are one of our own, they often represent their own will and ideas in the court, which will inevitably offend others.
If the security around you is insufficient, problems may arise at any time.
Of course, if Zhang Xi was harmed, Zhu Changwu would definitely avenge him. But when a person dies, even if the dead person is avenged, he cannot be resurrected, right?
"Yes." Xue Changkong was somewhat reluctant. After witnessing tonight's battle, he was extremely interested in joining the Dragon Soldiers. But this is the general's order, and he must obey it.
"Okay, if you have the opportunity in the future, you can also go to the Dragon Soldier Camp to participate in training. If you perform well, it will not be impossible to choose a good new weapon for you." Seeing the disappointment on Xue Changkong's face, Zhu Changwu made a promise.
"Yes." This time Xue Changkong's mood was obviously a little higher, and he answered loudly.
...
The sky finally brightens, the sun begins to rise slowly, and a new day arrives as promised.
Zhu Changwu led the team back to the city before dawn, and then the team disbanded. Xue Changkong went to report to Zhang Xi, and Hu Yunfeng also returned to the military camp. Without Ji Jinkai, his burden will only be heavier. Two Ming army teams with a total of 16,000 people will all be handed over to his hands and managed.
Unknowingly, Hu Yunfeng became Zhu Changwu's first captain of ten thousand men.
Ji Jinkai did not return to the military camp, but led the others to the outside of the city again. They would start new training. Considering that they were going to shoot and shoot, the city was obviously not suitable.
"You can go with peace of mind. All the supplies you need will be sent to you later. Don't be afraid of spending money or wasting bullets. I have no upper limit for my support for you, but I request that you must bring it with you. Create a real team of dragon soldiers, I want these soldiers to become the kings of soldiers, the kind where one is worth a hundred."
"Yes." Ji Jinkai stood at attention according to what Zhu Changwu just taught. Although military etiquette is not completely standard, it is still in style.
"Go ahead, I will guide you when I have time." Zhu Changwu also returned a military salute. In comparison, his military salute was much more standard.
After sending Ji Jinkai away, Zhu Changwu thought for a while and then walked towards the military camp where Bai Bangzheng was located.
During the night raid, the Dashun Army did not strengthen patrols and did not even send out secret sentries. In Zhu Changwu's opinion, they must have received the message from Bai Bangzheng.
From this point of view, this Bai Bangzheng is still very useful, so of course he needs to continue to use it.
Early in the morning, Bai Bangzheng had just gotten up when he heard that the general was coming, and he quickly went out to greet him.
"Oh, General Bai, I'm sorry to say that the operation last night was not smooth." The moment he saw Bai Bangzheng, Zhu Changwu immediately put on a sad face.
