Xiaoyao Xiaojunhou

Chapter 757 Recruitment
"Although I am a Marquis, Your Majesty once said that apart from the title of Marquis, the rest of my residence, salary, and the upper limit of the troops I can command are on par with the king's title."

"So our Divine Thunder Army can expand to [-] troops from now on!"

Zhu Xiuyuan talked eloquently after the handsome case.

But the generals below were already excited.

Everyone was gearing up and moving their bodies slightly.

Because Zhu Xiuyuan hadn't finished speaking yet, they couldn't whisper to each other.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that the generals were really overjoyed when they heard the news, scratching their heads and laughing from ear to ear.

"As for the supply of food, wages, equipment, etc., you don't have to worry. Your Majesty will order the Ministry of Household Affairs to give priority to ensuring the supply of our Divine Thunder Army. If it is insufficient, it will be spent from your Majesty's internal treasury!"

As soon as these words came out, I was even more happy.

"it is good!"

Finally someone couldn't stand it any longer and shouted.

"I knew that once the Marquis returns, our Divine Thunder Army will be able to regroup!"

"Fifty thousand troops, tsk tsk, by that time, our divine thunder army will definitely be invincible!"

The generals finally got excited and spoke one after another, their voices loud and even harsh.

Not doing so would not be enough to show the excitement in their hearts.

There is actually another very important reason why the generals are so excited.

Zhu Xiuyuan hasn't mentioned it yet, and it's hard for the generals to take the initiative to mention it.

That is - the position of deputy general of the Divine Thunder Army!
If there are [-] soldiers and horses, then five lieutenants are needed, and among the current Shenlei Army, there is only one lieutenant, Lin Bochang.

In other words, Huang Zhigao, Liu Anping, Wu Shaoguang, etc. are all very likely to be promoted one or two levels in a row, from the position of General Qian or General to deputy general directly!

Moreover, there are not only four more lieutenants, but also eight more generals and forty thousand generals...

The generals were discussing heatedly for a while. Zhu Xiuyuan suddenly waved his hand and pressed down, and the heated discussion among the generals suddenly stopped.

They straightened their bodies one after another and looked at Zhu Xiuyuan with fiery eyes.

"Our Divine Thunder Army has directly expanded from [-] troops to [-] troops. It can be said that the number of troops has increased dramatically! Therefore, generals at all levels must also be deployed simultaneously!" Zhu Xiuyuan said with a smile.

When the generals heard this, their hearts felt as sweet as honey. As expected, the Marquis mentioned this issue.

"Well... let's see, Huang Zhigao, Wu Shaoguang, and Liu Anping, you three have performed the most outstandingly. I will ask Your Majesty to promote you three to deputy generals of the Divine Thunder Army. Are you willing?"

Zhu Xiuyuan asked.

"I am willing, I am willing. In the end, I will be utterly devastated, and I will follow the Marquis to the death!" Huang Zhigao and three other people bowed at the same time.

"Okay!" Zhu Xiuyuan stood up from the table and said with a smile: "I will write the memorial myself in a moment. In the battle dozens of days ago, you and the other three made outstanding contributions. I believe that His Majesty will approve it!"

"I will thank you later, Lord Marquis!" Huang Zhigao and the other two bowed again.

Zhu Xiuyuan looked at Lin Bochang again and said with a smile: "Of course, Vice General Lin's performance was more outstanding in that battle. I will write it in the memorial to ask for credit for you."

"Thank you, Lord Marquis!" Lin Bochang said.

"Our Divine Thunder Army needs five lieutenants. After promoting you three, plus Lieutenant General Lin, there is still one less... Let's just leave this seat empty for now. After all, it is not that fast to expand to [-] troops. Wait for everything After everything is settled, we will look for a deputy general!" Zhu Xiuyuan said again.

"The Marquis is wise!" All the generals flattered him together.

"I am only responsible for the affairs of the deputy generals, so I will temporarily appoint the four of you. As for the following generals, generals, and centurions, you can decide on your own. After you decide on the candidates, I will finally agree. That’s it.” When Zhu Xiuyuan said this, he subconsciously waved his hand...

Maybe this is an "occupational disease" of hand-off shopkeepers.

"The last general waits to take orders!"

"Oh, by the way, one more thing. It is better to recruit troops sooner rather than later. It is best to start preparations today! The Changning Imperial Army is also recruiting troops aggressively. We must hurry up, otherwise all the high-quality troops will be lost to them. Grab it." Zhu Xiuyuan smiled.

"Please don't worry, Lord Marquis, my subordinates will go to recruit troops immediately, and we must shoot the troops of the Changning Emperor's army!"

"Okay, if you have this determination, I will be satisfied!"

Zhu Xiuyuan paused for a while, and then said: "If I am not here, you can ask Vice General Lin to make a decision on matters in the military. If you are not sure, come to me again."

"I have other big things to do, so I can't stay in the camp all the time! But don't think about slacking off. I will come to the camp at any time to investigate. If anything is found wrong, I will hold you accountable!"

Zhu Xiuyuan had made up his mind a long time ago to be a hands-off shopkeeper.

In fact, he did the same thing before, but this time he made it clear to Lin Bochang and the others.

"Please rest assured, Lord Marquis, the generals will not let up, and will seize the time to recruit troops and train them to bring our Divine Thunder Army to a new peak!"

The generals beat their chests loudly and spoke loudly.

Zhu Xiuyuan is very satisfied.

In front of everyone, he took a pen and paper and wrote a copy of the memorial.

Among them were petitions for the promotion of Huang Zhigao, Liu Anping, and Wu Shaoguang to lieutenant generals, and petitions for Lin Bochang.

After a while, the memorial was finished and someone was ordered to quickly send the memorial to the palace and directly submit it to Emperor Chen's imperial case.

After the memorial was quickly sent to the palace, it first went into the hands of Concubine You. Because it was Zhu Xiuyuan's memorial, it was given priority by Concubine You.

Concubine You thought over and over what Zhu Xiuyuan asked for in the memorial, and she was a little unsure. At this moment, Emperor Chen woke up from his sleep, so Concubine You took the memorial and asked Emperor Chen to make a decision.

"Huang Zhigao, Wu Shaoguang, and Liu Anping are all selected through various levels of martial arts. They are people with real qualities. Moreover, they also made great achievements in the last war... They are all accurate!"

Chen Huang said casually.

Concubine You quickly gave instructions according to Emperor Chen's opinion, and then quickly sent the memorial for execution...

In the evening of that day, just before Zhu Xiuyuan was about to leave the Shenlei Army camp and return to the city, the memorial written by Emperor Chen was delivered to him.

Along with the memorial, there are also Huang Zhigao's seals and various official uniforms.

With these things, it means that Huang Zhigao and the others are already real lieutenants!

Huang Zhigao and the other three were naturally grateful.

After all, there is a big difference between a general and a deputy general. The most important thing is that a deputy general has [-] soldiers and horses. He has great power and much freedom at the same time...

At this point, Zhu Xiuyuan has created good conditions for the Divine Thunder Army.

The number of soldiers and horses is as high as [-]!

Within one day, the positions of Huang Zhigao and others were confirmed!
This can be regarded as laying a good foundation for the Divine Thunder Army.

Starting today, the Divine Thunder Army began a vigorous recruitment campaign, followed by expansion of the camp, forced drills, etc... Zhu Xiuyuan rarely participated in these military affairs, and only took time to take a look from time to time.
