Chapter 67: Swearing to Follow the General to the Death! [Begging for Continued Reading]

"This subordinate does not understand what the General means."

Zhu Ying understood in his heart, but on the surface, he continued to play dumb.

Seeing Zhu Ying like this, Fu Fu Youde did not point anything out, but said seriously: "General Zhu, be careful in the army from now on."

"Thank you for your guidance, General."

Zhu Ying replied, pretending to be ignorant while understanding.

"Go."

"Rest well for a few days."

Fu Fu Youde waved his hand.

Zhu Ying bowed and slowly retreated.

Watching Zhu Ying's figure, Fu Fu Youde wore a thoughtful expression.

"Huaixi, Huaixi."

"Success comes from Huaixi."

"And in the end, it will be Huaixi."

"Sigh."

Fu Fu Youde muttered to himself, as if he had a thousand thoughts, a thousand weights.

Leaving the main camp.

Zhu Ying, under the guard of his personal guards, walked slowly toward his own camp.

"The Emperor values me, the Crown Prince values me, granting me a title, granting me a promotion."

"Besides truly rewarding merit, it is more about setting a benchmark in the army and suppressing Huaixi."

"Imperial power."

"It has pushed me to the opposite side of the fierce Huaixi generals in one fell swoop."

Zhu Ying thought secretly in his heart.

Originally.

Zhu Ying had been unable to see through it when he accepted the rewards, after all, these rewards seemed to have been earned by his own military merit.

But after seeing the unfriendly gazes of the many generals in the tent, Zhu Ying immediately understood.

Imperial power was fostering him to suppress the prestige of Huaixi in the military.

"However."

"Since you are fostering me, how could I not accept?"

"Huaixi."

"If we look at history, they will eventually be slaughtered by Zhu Zhu Yuanzhang."

"Some arrogant and fierce soldiers, some arrogant people who do not know how to restrain themselves and rely on their merit, are ultimately just grasshoppers after autumn."

After Zhu Ying thought of this, he did not feel any panic or fear.

Because his full attributes were the source of his confidence.

Let alone the fierce Huaixi generals, even if surrounded by ten thousand troops, Zhu Ying was confident he could kill his way out.

Returning to the logistics camp, his temporary station.

Although they had been granted leave, the soldiers under Zhu Ying's command had also woken up from the camp, sharpening their knives and repairing their bows and arrows in the camp.

"Garrison Commander."

"Garrison Commander..."

Seeing Zhu Ying arrive, many soldiers gathered around, and the gaze of everyone looking at Zhu Ying was filled with awe and trust.

"Brothers."

"From now on, you cannot call me Garrison Commander anymore."

Liu Lei said with a smile.

"Did the Garrison Commander get promoted?"

Zhang Wu asked excitedly.

Wei Quan and the others also looked on with anticipation.

"Received imperial grace."

"I have now been promoted to Assistant Regional Commander of the Daning border army, commanding ten thousand troops."

"And I have been bestowed the title of Baron."

Looking at these brothers who had lived and died together, Zhu Ying smiled and said immediately.

Hearing this.

The surrounding soldiers were filled with excitement.

"Congratulations, General."

"Congratulations, General."

"The General led us to kill in the northern frontier, beheading countless enemies. Let alone being promoted to Assistant Regional Commander, even being promoted to Regional Military Commissioner would not be an exaggeration. This is what the General deserves."

"That's right."

"The General led us to kill the enemy, and every time he was at the very front. This is solid merit for breaching the enemy, and this is what the General deserves."

"The imperial court's great grace even bestowed a title upon the General."

"That's great."

"..."

One soldier after another was happier than if they had received rewards themselves, and they congratulated Zhu Ying one after another.

"Brothers, General Fu has just given the order for the Pacification Commissioner to count your military merit as soon as possible and reward you one by one."

"Your rewards should be coming down in a day or two." Zhu Ying said to the soldiers again.

Hearing this.

Wei Quan and Zhang Wu, who were on the side, wore worried expressions.

Afterward.

Wei Quan stood out and knelt before Zhu Ying with a worried expression.

This kneeling made Zhu Ying stunned, and the surrounding soldiers were also stunned.

"What are you doing?"

Zhu Ying immediately walked forward to help Wei Quan up.

However, Wei Quan stepped back, his expression solemn: "The General has been promoted, this is the reward the General deserves, but this subordinate asks the General not to abandon us old brothers who have lived and died together. This subordinate hopes the General can continue to lead us to kill the enemy and establish merit."

"This subordinate has been in the army for nearly ten years, but the General is fierce and even better at commanding troops."

"This subordinate only obeys the General."

"If I can follow the General to kill the enemy forever, I will have no regrets even if I die."

Wei Quan said loudly, his expression extremely solemn; these were his true words.

Watching Wei Quan speak.

Zhang Wu.

Zhuang Wei.

Luo Hua.

The three Battalion Commanders also immediately knelt before Zhu Ying and shouted loudly: "This subordinate is willing to follow the General to the death, please do not abandon us."

Following the words of these Battalion Commanders.

The surrounding soldiers also thought of something, and their faces were filled with worry.

Afterward.

The nearly three thousand gathered soldiers did not hesitate, and almost at the same time, everyone knelt toward Zhu Ying.

"This subordinate is willing to follow the General to the death, please do not abandon us."

"Follow the General to the death..."

At this moment.

Thousands of people shouted in unison, each one extremely solemn.

Although they had followed Zhu Ying for less than three months, everyone was conquered by Zhu Ying.

Not only because of Zhu Ying's ferocity, but also because Zhu Ying was at the forefront, keeping every soldier in his heart. When in the foreign land of the northern frontier, even if one person fell behind, Zhu Ying would lead the army to rescue them.

In the chaos of battle, Zhu Ying also didn't know how many knives and arrows he had blocked for his brothers.

How could they not be willing to follow such a general?

Seeing this scene.

To be trusted and followed by his soldiers like this.

Zhu Ying's face was also filled with emotion, and then he said with a smile: "Brothers, who said I was going to abandon you?"

"Although I have been promoted, I still belong to the Daning border army and am still your direct commanding general."

"Moreover."

"The warhorses we captured from the Tatars will also be used by us."

"General Fu has ordered that I will command the first complete cavalry Assistant Regional Commander camp in Daning Prefecture, commanding ten thousand cavalry."

"All of you brothers are members of this cavalry Assistant Regional Commander camp."

"Now General Fu has ordered the mobilization of soldiers to the camp, and once the soldiers arrive, the cavalry Assistant Regional Commander camp will be established."

"All of you old brothers can still follow me, Zhu Ying, to kill the enemy and fight." Zhu Ying said loudly.

Hearing this.

Every soldier was filled with excitement.

"Follow the General to the death."

"Follow the General to the death..."

All the generals shouted excitedly, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

"Alright."

"Get up, all of you."

"Take advantage of the fact that there is no war now and rest well."

"Once the soldiers arrive in a few days, it will be tiring."

Zhu Ying waved his hand at the surrounding soldiers and then walked toward his tent.

"Liu Lei."

At the entrance of the tent, Zhu Ying stopped.

"Please give your instructions, General." Liu Lei said immediately.

"Now that I have been promoted to Assistant Regional Commander, I can have two hundred personal guards. You should screen them among the old brothers." Zhu Ying instructed.
