The soldier's expression froze. He put away the cracked three-barreled gun and stared at Sun Chuanting for a long time.

"Hey? Whose door was not closed properly, and a thing like you escaped?"

"Is it your business to worry about whether my gun can fire?"

"Open your eyes and take a good look at where this place is!"

"Can you lowly people come here?"

Sun Chuanting, however, bowed and said, "I am a servant of the Taikang Earl's family. I am here on the orders of the Earl to select a few people to go back and do the work."

Upon hearing this, the soldier's face immediately changed into a flattering smile: "Damn it, I didn't know you were from Taikangbo's family. Come in, come in!"

As he said that, he turned around and kicked his companion twice.

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry and open the door for you gentlemen!"

He didn't even doubt whether the identity Sun Chuanting said was true or false.

There seems to be no need to doubt.

Who is Taikangbo?

He is the current queen’s biological father!

Who dares to pretend?

There is no need to say anything about others, just the fact that Wei Zhongxian was standing there was enough to be convincing!

For a eunuch to have such aura, he could only have been trained by the emperor or the empress!

The wooden doors were pushed open with a creaking sound, and one of the doors shook twice, threatening to fall down at any time.

Zhu Youxiao's heart, like the door, began to shake.

Ah!

Is this my Divine Machine Camp?

The Ming Dynasty's Shenjiying, which led the world in the use of firearms for 200 years?

It's so rotten!

His face turned pale and he glared at Wei Zhongxian fiercely.

It's impossible that this old dog knew nothing about this and yet never mentioned it to me!

Wei Zhongxian subconsciously shrank his neck. It was a very hot day, but he inexplicably felt a chill on his back.

As soon as you enter the gate, what comes into view is the empty training ground.

In the training ground, several spotted dogs were fighting over the poop that some bastard had left in the corner.

The soldier leading the way saw that everyone had stopped and began to remind them.

"My lord, there is nothing to see here. I will take you to the barracks."

Zhu Youxiao suppressed his dissatisfaction and nodded to Sun Chuanting. Then everyone followed the soldiers towards the barracks in the distance.

But when we arrived at the barracks, the scene we saw was even more shocking!

Chapter 16 Take down this idle guy for me

The barracks, which should have been clean, had all kinds of garbage piled in front of the door.

There were straw sandals with holes in them, poultry feathers, and broken porcelain pieces, mixed with slop and feces, and even fish bladders with strange liquid inside.

Before anyone got close, they had already startled a large green-headed fly.

This is not what a military camp should look like!

It's like a garbage dump!

The soldier leading the way showed no discomfort at all. After leading everyone to an empty barracks, he bowed.

"Everyone, please take a rest here for a while. I will go and inform my superiors."

After saying this, the soldier turned and left the barracks, heading towards the officer's duty room in another corner.

After he left, Zhu Youxiao raised his leg and kicked Wei Zhongxian in the stomach.

"Is this my Divine Machine Camp?"

"What on earth are you doing as the Admiral of the East Factory?"

Wei Zhongxian was kicked to the ground and quickly turned over and knelt down.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me! Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

"It's not that I don't know the situation in the Beijing camp, it's just that I don't dare to interfere!"

Zhu Youxiao did not believe what he said and kicked Wei Zhongxian several times, not stopping until Wei Zhongxian's nose and face were bruised and swollen.

Sun Chuanting, who was watching this scene, felt so happy.

This damn eunuch deserves to be beaten!

After taking the handkerchief handed to him by the eunuch beside him, Zhu Youxiao wiped the sweat from his forehead, then pointed at Wei Zhongxian and cursed him angrily.

"You little slave, wait till we get back to the palace and see how I deal with you!"

After being beaten, Wei Zhongxian huddled in the corner like a little wife. For some reason, he felt inexplicably…

Comfortable?

He couldn't believe it himself!

Damn it, the emperor suddenly became so violent, why is there still a little bit of…

like?

It’s like the feeling of an elder who suddenly sees his younger generation become successful!

Just then, the soldier came in with a big-bellied man in shorts.

"Commander Kou, it's them. They said they were servants of Earl Taikang's family and wanted to pick a few brothers to take back."

As soon as Lieutenant General Kou entered the room, he saw Wei Zhongxian standing in the corner. He was very curious about how the eunuch in the corner had been beaten into such a state.

After scanning everyone one by one, his eyes finally stopped on Zhu Youxiao. From the way the guards were surrounding him, he concluded that Zhu Youxiao was the real boss, so he bowed.

"May I ask who you are from the Taikang family?"

Zhu Youxiao had just vented his anger and was in a better mood now. He responded in line with what Sun Chuanting had just said.

"That's my father!"

Father-in-law is also a father, there is nothing wrong with saying that.

But when Lieutenant General Kou heard this, he began to wonder, he had never heard that the Queen had brothers in her family?

Forget it, maybe it’s because I’m not professional enough and the information I have is limited.

He hesitated for only a moment, then bowed obsequiously to Zhu Youxiao.

"I didn't know it was Young Master who was here. I'm sorry for not welcoming you from afar. I hope you can forgive me."

"Don't worry, young master. I will call all the brothers out and you can choose from them!"

After saying that, he kicked the soldier without leaving any trace.

The soldier rushed out very smartly, and then a loud whistle was heard outside.

Then, there was a chaotic sound of footsteps.

As soon as Zhu Youxiao went out, he saw that the parade ground was full of people.

only.......

The status of these people is not commendable!

To say that they were dishevelled was flattering them!

They were all standing on the parade ground. Some were still buttoning their shirts, some were missing one of their shoes, and some even ran out wearing only a pair of shorts.

The ages of these soldiers varied greatly, the youngest was only eleven or twelve years old, not even as tall as a three-barreled rifle, but the older ones had gray hair and even hunched backs!

This made Zhu Youxiao feel hot on his face!

I had said before that when we arrived at the Shenji Camp, I would let Sun Chuanting select the men, but what could we do with soldiers like this?

Not to mention anything else, that hunchbacked old man would probably die before he could walk thirty miles!

"Is this the soldier from the Shenji Camp?"

He looked at Lieutenant General Kou with a gloomy face.

Lieutenant General Kou disagreed: "Look at what Young Master said. Don't be fooled by how skinny these guys are. They have plenty of strength to work!"

Zhu Youxiao could no longer suppress the anger in his heart and pointed at the old, weak and disabled soldiers.

"Didn't they say that the Shenji Camp has 30,000 elite soldiers? These people look like they probably have less than 5,000, right?"

Lieutenant General Kou's heart skipped a beat. He looked at Zhu Youxiao suspiciously and asked, "Young Master, from your tone, I don't think you are here to recruit laborers, right?"

Zhu Youxiao laughed in anger: "Do you think I need to come here to find laborers?"

I?

Lieutenant General Kou's body trembled violently.

When Wei Zhongxian saw Zhu Youxiao reveal his identity, he rushed over and caught Brigadier General Kou and slapped him several times.

"How dare you kneel down before the emperor!"

Damn it, I can’t always be the only one getting beaten, right?

Lieutenant General Kou fell to his knees with a thud. "Lieutenant General Kou Yishou of the Divine Machine Battalion, kowtows to the emperor. Long live the emperor!"

Zhu Youxiao didn't even look at him, and shouted coldly: "Let the commander of the Shenji Camp come to see me!"

"By the way, please invite the commanders of the Three Thousand Battalions and the Five Military Battalions over as well!"

"I want to ask them, how did my Beijing Army become like this!"

Before entering the door, he still didn't understand why Sun Chuanting used the title of Earl Taikang. Now looking at these old and weak people on the parade ground, no matter how stupid he was, he reacted!

If he had revealed his identity before entering the door, he would have been given all kinds of excuses and would not have seen the scene before him!

Wei Zhongxian, with a wounded face, pulled a guard over and shouted, "Go!"

After the guard left, everyone stood on the parade ground and waited.

Even though the sun was scorching, Zhu Youxiao had no intention of going into the barracks to enjoy the cool air. At this moment, his heart was chilled!

Dog day!

No wonder Li Zicheng was able to break into the capital with a group of peasants. Just look at these soldiers in front of us...

I’m afraid that this old dog Wei Zhongxian could beat ten people alone in the past!

They stood in the parade ground for a long time until a large group of people rushed in from the camp gate.

When one of them saw Zhu Youxiao, he immediately knelt down on one knee.

"Your Majesty, I am Li Shouqi, the commander of the Shenji Camp, and I am here to see you!"

Upon seeing this, the others also quickly knelt on one knee and saluted.

"See Your Majesty!"

Zhu Youxiao ignored everyone else and stared at Li Shouqi.

"You are in charge of this Shenji Camp?"

Li Shouqi was a little panicked, but he could only bite the bullet and answer: "Yes, it is Guan Cao."

Zhu Youxiao's face turned cold: "Come here, take down this guy who is doing nothing for me, and give him twenty sticks first!"

"Yes!"

A group of guards rushed out and pinned Li Shouqi to the ground in a blink of an eye. They then pulled off his front armor, revealing his white and tender buttocks.
