Five thousand black-armored guards are gathered here at this moment.
They got the news that Prince Chen Changfeng was going to take over the Black Armor Guard today.
But what the Black Armored Guards didn't quite understand was that Chen Qingzhi, who had been ostracized by Yu Daqiu, actually stood in the middle of the generals today.
This is really strange.
The soldiers of the Black Armored Guard knew very well that most of Yu Daqiu's achievements were taken from Chen Qingzhi.
Yu Daqiu wished he could just drive Chen Qingzhi out of the Black Armored Guards, how could he let Chen Qingzhi stand in the middle.
Could it have something to do with the arrival of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today?
No one among the black-armored guards made any sound. When Chen Changfeng walked over from a distance, he could feel the solemn discipline of the black-armored guards.
Five thousand people, neatly dressed in black clothes and armor, hunting with banners.
Qisha followed Chen Changfeng, and when he saw the black-armored guard in front of him, he couldn't help but admire him in his heart.
Fortunately, the Black Armored Guards are one of the three most powerful armies in the world. Such military discipline is really rare.
"The general will pay homage to His Royal Highness."
Chen Changfeng stood on the high platform and glanced at the generals in front of him.
The generals of the black armored guards headed by Chen Qingzhi knelt down and bowed down one after another.
The expressions of the black-armored soldiers behind him changed slightly, and then they knelt down one after another and shouted: "Greetings to His Highness the Crown Prince!"
The momentum was so great that it was like overwhelming mountains and seas.
The black-armored soldiers were all puzzled as to why Chen Qingzhi and other generals would kneel before the prince.
Especially Chen Qingzhi, the third prince had been here several times before, but he had never seen Chen Qingzhi kneel down.
Why did he take the initiative to kneel down when he saw the prince Chen Changfeng today?
Moreover, why was there no trace of Yu Daqiu, the commander of the Black Armored Guards?
It stands to reason that when the prince comes to take over the black-armored guards, Yu Daqiu, as the commander-in-chief, should also appear.
"Everyone, get up." Chen Changfeng raised his hand to signal everyone to get up.
Everyone stood up, but the black-armored soldiers were still confused.
"Everyone must be wondering why they are not seen in Daqiu today." Chen Changfeng's words made the Black Armored Soldiers prick up their ears instantly.
Chen Qingzhi nodded slightly, jumped up to the high platform, and glanced at everyone: "Yu Daqiu just attempted to murder His Highness the Crown Prince. Fortunately, His Highness the Crown Prince had his own good fortune and the protection of my black armored generals, so he did not give way to Yu Daqiu."
Qiu's evil plan succeeded."
"What? Commander Yu wants to take action against His Highness the Crown Prince?"
"Aren't the generals all subordinate to the commander-in-chief? How could they..."
The whispers of some soldiers made the generals whose lives were spared by Chen Changfeng tremble.
"Because of Daqiu's ambition, he secretly attempted to murder the prince. Although we have obeyed his orders before, we will never join him in the face of great right and wrong."
"Yu Daqiu deserves to die, and we will swear allegiance to His Highness the Crown Prince to the death." Some generals looked angry.
"We swear to be loyal to His Highness the Crown Prince to the death."
Someone spoke, and the remaining generals also swore an oath.
They had no choice. After they killed Yu Daqiu, there was no way back.
Now it's either follow Chen Changfeng all the way to the dark side, or die now.
After making such an oath in front of the Black Armored Guards soldiers, if they wanted to turn against Chen Changfeng again, the Black Armored Guards soldiers would not follow them.
Chen Qingzhi looked at the generals in front of him.
What he just said was what Chen Changfeng asked him to say. At first, Chen Qingzhi thought that Chen Changfeng just wanted to cover up the generals' guilt.
Otherwise, why should we say that it was the protection of the generals that allowed Chen Changfeng to escape danger?
It wasn't until this moment that Chen Qingzhi reacted.
Chen Changfeng did not completely believe these people. He only asked these generals to swear an oath in front of the black armored soldiers.
In this way, even if these black-armored generals have different intentions in the future, the soldiers will not listen to them.
Because if they have different intentions, they have broken their vow today.
Who would sacrifice their life for someone who breaks a promise?
Chen Qingzhi lowered his head.
He was convinced again that even if Chen Changfeng didn't have such a powerful weapon today.
Yu Daqiu and these generals also couldn't hold Chen Changfeng.
Every step Chen Changfeng made was planned by him.
"With your words, I feel relieved. Yu Daqiu is dead, and I intend to choose a new commander-in-chief."
"I have also heard that General Chen Qingzhi has made many meritorious service in the Black Armored Guards, and I intend to appoint him as the new commander-in-chief. Do you have any thoughts, officers and men?"
"Or if you have a candidate you have in mind, you can put it forward here and I will consider it carefully." Chen Changfeng said with a smile on his face and a warm look in his eyes.
The soldiers of the Black Armor Guard were stunned.
Chen Changfeng asked them about the candidate for the commander of the Black Armored Guards?
Isn't this all decided by the generals?
How can they, ordinary soldiers, have such great rights?
"The position of commander-in-chief is of great importance. I hope that the new commander-in-chief selected will be the commander-in-chief that all soldiers believe in."
"Because this is related to your own life and death, I hope that everyone can participate in it." Chen Changfeng continued.
Qisha standing aside was a little puzzled.
Chen Changfeng had clearly spoken before and asked Chen Qingzhi to serve as the new commander-in-chief of the Black Armored Guards.
Why is it now that the Black Armored Guards soldiers are left to choose?
Moreover, if someone he trusts is not allowed to sit in such an important position as the commander of the Black Armor Guards, how can Chen Changfeng control the Black Armor Guards?
Isn’t today’s hard work in vain?
Qisha felt that he couldn't keep up with Chen Changfeng.
Chen Qingzhi was also slightly confused, but it was not because Chen Changfeng did not directly appoint himself as the commander of the Black Armored Guards in front of everyone.
But he was puzzled that Chen Changfeng dared to do this.
Isn't it a joke to let the soldiers choose their own commander?
"Your Highness, this is inappropriate."
"There has never been a precedent for this."
"His Royal Highness can just appoint him directly."
Several generals spoke one after another, also wanting to perform well in front of Chen Changfeng.
The black-armored guards at the back had no expression on their faces, and no one spoke.
"There's nothing wrong with that. The black-armored guards are the elite of our Ming Dynasty. You all do the same thing with your head tucked into your waistband."
"If I appoint a random person to lead you, if it's good, forget it. If it's not good, won't it cost your lives?"
"Before tonight, everyone is asked to write down the names of the commanders in their hearts. Those who don't know how to write names can come to me."
"Everyone, please leave." After Chen Changfeng said this, he let everyone leave.
Everyone froze on the spot and made no move.
Let them choose the commander of the Black-armored Guards themselves. The Black-armored Guards soldiers dare not even think about it.
They always act on their own orders and have no right to make the decision.
But today...
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually asked us to choose our own commander. If I hadn't heard it with my own ears, I really wouldn't have believed it."
"Yes, I have long been dissatisfied with that Yu Daqiu. Every time the credit goes to him, but it is us who die. He even takes the credit from General Chen, what the hell!"
"This prince really cares about us ordinary soldiers, otherwise why would he let us choose a commander we trust?"
"I didn't expect that we ourselves also have the right to choose our commander..."
Soon, the school grounds were full of discussions about Chen Changfeng letting the Black Armored Guards soldiers choose the commander of the Black Armored Guards themselves.
Qisha was stunned for a while, then chased after Chen Changfeng.
He wanted to ask Chen Changfeng carefully what his plans were.
