If I fail to overcome the tribulation, I can only return to the Ming Dynasty and become a prince.

Chapter 74 Honorable Men and Women Take Team
The news that Zhu Zhanjuan wanted to recruit noble children to join the army quickly spread in Nanjing, and all the noble children of various families received the news.

As for the noble families themselves, they don't care much about their children joining the army.

After all, who hasn’t found a way yet?In the past, they did not do this just because they did not want the emperor to think that they were using their power for personal gain, or because they wanted to spread their cronies among the army.

If we really want to arrange it, every noble family has some connections.

It's just that they have to consider their non-legendary heirs, relatives who are not from their own family, and descendants of each family's old tribes.

This number of people is not a small number. Even if you go to the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion and the Ministry of War, you may not be able to arrange so many people.

The military system of the Ming Dynasty was different from that of previous dynasties. Once a military household was selected, unless you escaped and became a black household, you would have to eat this bowl of rice for generations to come.

The children of the Xungui family can take the path of favor and protection, inherit the ancestral duties, or be awarded an official position by the court. They generally do not need to start from the lowest level of the rank and file or junior officers.

But this is the treatment that legitimate sons can enjoy. For example, nephews born from concubines or relatives from separate families cannot enjoy court rewards or hereditary protection.

This part has to be arranged through the relationship between Xungui and his family.

But generally speaking, unless the Xungui family wants to place someone, they will not easily use their power or connections to arrange people into the army.
And the most important point is that if you want to arrange people to enter the army, you must have certain abilities, be promising or capable, the kind of guy who is really useless and just eats one more Lumi. The Gui family doesn't bother to make arrangements, unless they really can't stand the favor.

However, Zhu Zhanjun's recruitment this time was different. First of all, he was recruiting soldiers, not the court recruiting military households. This was fundamentally different in terms of status.

Recruiting soldiers will not change the household registration from a good citizen to a military household. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for many people who want to find a wife and a son.

After all, the imperial court has almost never stopped using mercenaries in recent years, and there are plenty of opportunities to gain fame immediately.

Especially among the nobles, there is a rumor that Zhu Zhanquan has an elixir that can strengthen people's muscles and bones and increase their strength. It can also make weak scholars drag down nine cows, which makes them even more attractive to the nobles. .

These nobles rely on military merit to maintain their own prosperity and wealth. If they can train strong generals in batches, how will it strengthen their own families?
With this idea in mind, nobles from all the families were tempted.

Although sending his nephew to join Zhu Zhanyu's new army at this time is tantamount to placing a bet on the princeling side, it is actually a good thing for Xungui.

Fighting for heirs and heirlooms is a matter of making the whole family rich, and losing is also a matter of making the family rich. Anyone who has the ability will want to bet on both ends.

In the past, it was just that the princelings in the East Palace did not have military power involved, so the nobles had no way to make bets.

In addition, the foundation of the East Palace was civil servants, and there was a natural struggle between civil and military officials. Civil servants looked down on military men, and military men were not in the same pot as literati, so the nobles could only put their treasures on Zhu Gaoxu, the "father-like" king of Han. .But now that the East Palace has begun to get involved in the army, this undoubtedly gives the nobles a very strong signal and a good opportunity to place bets.

So it didn't take too much time to send the noble disciples of a thousand households that Zhu Zhanjun needed to his military camp, and the number was even exceeded.

Faced with this situation, Lieutenant General Fan Zhong seemed a little helpless. He was just a grassroots soldier. Although he had achieved his current position due to his military exploits during the Jingnan period, he could not afford to offend the nobles in the battalion. Children.

"Fan Zhong, go and tell them that the number of places in the army is limited. As long as there is one person from a thousand households, the extra people will be eliminated based on their training results after one month." Zhu Zhanqi sat in the newly built lobby of the military camp and looked through the pages. According to the military book, Fan Zhong, the deputy general who came to report the matter, ordered: "In addition, let them start taking jade medicine, one small flag per jade medicine, dissolve it in water and take it, and then let them practice Poyuquan for at least one hour every day. As for other training, you can arrange it accordingly."

"General, take your orders." Fan Zhong responded, but he was still a little worried and asked Zhu Zhanyu: "But Commander, what should I do if someone does not abide by military discipline and causes trouble in the camp? These people are all noble sons. Will……"

Zhu Zhanquan raised his head when he heard the sound, looked at the embarrassed lieutenant, thought for a moment, took out his gold medal, and threw it to Fan Zhong: "Take this, if anyone dares to cause trouble, he will be dealt with severely in accordance with military law. He should be beaten." Those who deserve military sticks will be beaten with military sticks, and those who deserve to be beheaded will be beheaded. If anyone is dissatisfied, let them go and tell the emperor themselves."

Fan Zhong took the gold medal respectfully. Looking at the words "I am here in person" on the gold medal, Fan Zhong felt relieved as if he had taken a reassurance.

With this gold medal, he had the confidence to deal with those noble children, which also gave him enough confidence to train those dandy and noble children into talents.

However, the actual situation was somewhat different from what Fan Zhong expected. Those noble children did not cause trouble in the military camp, but were receiving training very obediently.

Although there are indeed some grumbles and complaints, most of the noble disciples do behave honestly and do not have any dandy habits.

This could not help but surprise Fan Zhong, but he didn't think much about it. The most important thing was that these soldiers were obedient and that he could complete the task of training soldiers. As for other things, he could think about it later.

While Fan Zhong was training those noble disciples, Zhu Zhanquan also stayed in the military camp. In addition to checking the training status of the soldiers every day, he also practiced boxing to improve the strength of his physical body so that he could recover as soon as possible. The cultivation level of Jindan Zhenren.

Now, relying on the Qianyuan Marrow Strengthening Cream to make up for it, Zhu Zhanquan's physical body has made up for the eight years of sleep. He has also perfected the Spiritual Snake Wrapping Fist, and has trained his body like a big python.

Now, with the help of the second box of Qianyuan Marrow Strengthening Ointment, Zhu Zhanquan is trying to break through the Spirit Snake Entanglement Fist and turn the python into a dragon, thus starting to practice a higher level of true cultivation.

Because of his special situation, Zhu Zhanjun does not really need to start practicing from scratch, but only needs to make his physical body able to carry his own golden elixir cultivation. Therefore, the cultivation method he chooses is a method he has gained in the world of immortal cultivation. The method of body refining came from.

The Spiritual Snake Entangling Fist is just the precursor to this conjoined method. As long as the breakthrough is successful, he can start practicing this Nine-Transformation Dragon Technique.
