After saying that, Zhu Masumi opened a channel on the walkie-talkie in front of the two of them.

"Ainengqi is here?"

It took a few breaths on the other side to say, "You will report to the supervisor, and the last one will be here."

"You come to the imperial ship."

"yes."

After finishing the intercom, Zhu Ma said to Ma Bao: "Ai Nengqi, one of Zhang Xianzhong's four adopted sons, led tens of thousands of troops to invade Chengdu when he was in Sichuan, and was captured by Zeng Ying, and then surrendered to our palace.

Although this person is only a few years older than you, he was in Zhang Xianzhong's army before he was ten years old and he had been fighting for many years.

He is known for his bravery and good at fighting, especially for shooting, and has the experience of independently leading the army.

How about it, you should be convinced by him as the general of the fifth town of the Imperial Guard?"

Ma Bao is worthy of being a young general who is only seventeen years old. Although he noticed that Liu Fangliang was frantically winking, he still said: "As for the regent, Ainengqi has only joined the army for more than ten years earlier than the last general.

If you ask whether you agree with him or not, you still need to compete with him before you know.”

Zhu Mai was also quite interested in the competition between the two young brave generals. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Okay, when Ainengqi comes, I will let him compete with you."

But what are you going to compete with him? It is important to know that this time I chose the general who led the army."

Ma Bao said: "The last general was in the army for only two years, and the highest position was the commander of the commander. At the maximum, he led the army to only 3,000 people.

If he is worse than the ability to lead the troops, the general thought that he is not as good as Ainengqi, and he did not want to compete with him for the position of general officer.

Since he is also known for his bravery, he will compete with him. As long as he reaches out, don't be too bad, he will accept him."

Ma Bao's words were clear and clear, and it was very rare for peasant generals who had not studied and entered school.

This surprised Zhu Ma and Hao Guangming.

Even Liu Fangliang, who was beside him, looked over in surprise.

Liu Fangliang had already understood at this time that Ma Bao did not know how to advance and retreat. He clearly wanted to seize the opportunity and show his courage in front of Zhu Ma, so that he could gain more attention.

Ma Bao may not know that there is a word called "Jian Zai Di Xin", but he obviously has this consciousness.

On the other hand, Hao Guangming couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder Ma Bao, who is known as one of the three horses in the South Ming Dynasty, could finally achieve such high achievements and such a wonderful life.

It seems that he is not just brave, but resourceful, and is a person who is born to know how to be an official."

Zhu Ma Shi thought about it and thought it was the same.

Ma Bao said that he had only joined the Shun Army for a year or two, but was promoted to the commander at a young age. How could it be as simple as brave as it is?

If he was simply brave, he would probably have died on the battlefield many times.

From this point of view, Ainengqi may be inferior to Ma Bao in terms of leadership talent.

Of course, at this stage, Ma Bao's leadership experience is definitely much worse than Ainengqi. It is appropriate to let him learn from Ainengqi and give advice by the way.

Soon, Ainengqi came to the imperial ship.

After Ainengqi saluted, Zhu Ma said, "Ainengqi, I want to use you as the deputy general of the newly established fifth town of the Imperial Guard and lead the general. Are you willing?"

Ainengqi immediately heard this and said excitedly: "I am willing!"

At first, Ainengqi was quite happy when he was incorporated into the Imperial Guards as the general of the Knights.

Although the position of general in charge is one or two lower than that of Li Dingguo and Liu Wenxiudi, the Imperial Army belongs to Zhu Meiyu's direct army, and he is better than others when he speaks out.

However, when he looked at Li Dingguo from behind, Liu Wenxiu could lead troops out to fight and frequently made contributions, but he could only lead the cavalry camp to stay in Chengdu, so he couldn't be happy.

I have always wanted to ask Zhu Ma to send her out, but I am embarrassed to speak.

This time, he came to Nanzhili with Zhu Mei. He thought there would be many wars, but he thought that along the way, he only fought a war when Liu Fangliang led a large army to attack Jinkou Town where Zhu Mei Yu was located, and he went to finish it.

, totally unsatisfactory.

Now that I heard that Zhu Ma was about to release him into the Imperial Guards and was promoted to deputy general, I was naturally extremely happy.

Zhu Mai said again: "What do you think I want to use Li Bengao as the general of the cavalry camp?"

Ainengqi said without thinking: "Li Bengao is a good cavalry general."

Li Bengao was a young cavalry general under Liu Wenxiu in the Central Plains of the Great Western Army. He is now the Qianzong General of the Cavalry Camp. He also made contributions to the battle of Jinkou Town. It is very appropriate to be promoted to the rank of the Cavalry Camp.

Zhu Meiyu nodded slightly and said, "The next person is named Ma Bao, I believe you have had some contact with him in the past few days.

This time, I want to use him as the lieutenant general of the 1st battalion of the fifth town of the Imperial Guards to help you select troops from the seven major training camps to form troops.

When Ma Bao heard that you are also known for your bravery and good at fighting, he wanted to compete with you for your skills.”

Zhu Meiyu did not need to provoke the struggles of her subordinates to balance her supreme power, so this statement was very appropriate and did not make Ai Nengqi feel like she was being provoked.

However, as a brave and warlike young general, Ainengqi will not be afraid of being challenged by others.

He looked at Ma Bao and said, "Since I want to be the genius general of the fifth town, I should really try your skills. Tell me, infantry battles, horse riding, and archery, you can choose from."

Ma Bao said: "It is inconvenient to fight horses and it is too dangerous, so it is better than infantry battles and archery."

"good."

Seeing that the two of them had decided, Zhu Ma immediately ordered people to prepare for the competition.

It mainly consists of two sets of Tiger Camp armor sets, plus the weapons they each need.

Although Ma Bao was only seventeen years old, he was tall and burly, and his eyes were red, and he seemed to have the blood of Western Regions, so he didn't seem easy to mess with.

However, he was not old enough and looked thin.

Ainengqi was twenty-three years old, not tall but strong, with a beard and obvious muscle mass on his body. It is said that someone believed him in his thirties.

After the two of them put on their armor, Ainengqi chose a Yanling sword, but Ma Bao chose a spear.

The two started fighting on the deck, and the scene was really exciting.

However, Hao Guangming, Zhu Mai and others were frightened because it was too dangerous for them to shoot with real swords and guns.

Seeing that three minutes later, the two of them still did not distinguish between the obvious superiority and the inferiority. Only when Ma Bao vaguely gained the upper hand, Zhu Ma said: "Forget it, you two stop?"

In fact, although the two of them looked dangerous in the fight, they were both in their own right and did not dare to see blood in front of Zhu Ma.

In addition, although they only fought for three minutes, both of them had recognized each other's close combat strength, so they both stopped hearing the sound.

Ma Bao first clasped his fists and said, "General Ai is indeed brave and good at fighting, and Ma Bao admires it."

Ainengqi said that this kid looked young, but he was quite good at talking, and he liked it.

So he smiled and said, "You guy is not bad either. I think your spear layout should be more suitable for horse warfare, right?"

Ma Bao nodded, "It's indeed a trick to shoot a horse."

Zhu Ma was quite happy to see that the two young men did not fight against each other, but instead appreciated each other, so she immediately asked the two to compete for archery.

This time, Ainengqi showed his sharp shooting skills, while Ma Bao's archery skills were just mediocre.

So Ma Bao was completely convinced by Ai Nengqi.

Immediately, Zhu Ma made arrangements for the other two battalions of the Imperial Guard's Fifth Town, namely Gao Wengui, the former generals under Li Dingguo, and Jin Tongwu.

Previously, the two men served as generals in Liu Wenxiu's second town, and the other was Qian Zong in the Hu Ben Army.

As for the three battalion generals of the 12th Town of the Border Defense Army under Liu Fangliang, Zhu Mai was preparing to use the trial generals selected by the training camp.

Although these three generals in the test were all Shun Army, the highest position in Shun Army was just the flag-holding officer, and they were all from the former Ming Dynasty official army.

Although the soldiers in the training camp were all selected and reorganized, some of them were also infiltrated from Zuo Liangyu's army, at the suggestion of Hao Guangming, Zhu Meiyu still used these three test-student generals to provide insurance for Liu Fangliang.

This is not to say how she distrusts Liu Fangliang, but just in case.

After Liu Fangliang, Ai Nengqi, Ma Bao and others left the imperial ship, Zhu Ma Yun used the walkie-talkie to contact Huang Degong and Huang Fei.

After contacting her, she said directly: "The military situation in Jiangbei is critical. Now that Nanjing has been settled, General Huang will take the Jianghuofa Division's ship to Yizheng and Guazhou Ferry to garrison.

After going there, I immediately inquire about the military situation in front, and then send a message to the palace through the radio team."
