Chapter 7 Brutal Elimination "Da da……" Three dragon-scaled horses walked towards the platform at a leisurely pace. After a while, they arrived at the front and bottom of the high platform in the courtyard. "Whoosh!" Zhang Xianzhong and two of his trusted men leaped from their horses and landed silently on the ground. He gave a few words to two of his trusted subordinates, then, as hundreds of young men with burning eyes watched, he kicked the ground with his legs and leaped! The next moment, he had quietly arrived at the center of the small platform and stood facing everyone. "Some of you beggar boys will be blessed in the future!" Zhang Xianzhong didn't say anything more. He looked around at the hundreds of beggar orphans waiting in line under the high platform, then looked straight ahead and said, "Today, I will select some of you to become the key training targets of our rebel army!" "Of course, this is the preliminary selection of warriors. Whether you can be selected depends on your own performance!" "When you are a soldier and eat food, the most important thing is courage!"
"Those who are cowardly are not suitable to be soldiers and eat food!" "You are such a coward, you deserve to suffer all your life and you don't deserve anyone's sympathy!" "We, the rebels, now have a lot of resources, but we won't let those cowards enjoy them in the future!" "So, today's preliminary selection is to eliminate those cowardly rats!" Zhang Xianzhong was very clear-headed. He was now selecting the future backbone of the rebel army and did not need those with cowardly characters, so as not to waste precious training resources. His past military career had already drawn iron rules based on facts. Even if some practitioners have outstanding bones and qi and blood, if they are timid and cowardly, they are just a waste and are totally unworthy of being trained. This kind of people are real waste. Once they enter the army, not only will they fail to exert their due combat effectiveness, but they will also greatly hinder the soldiers. Even in some tense wars, these cowardly people are often the first to flee. If this situation occurs on the battlefield, the consequences will be disastrous! Zhang Xianzhong wanted to train a group of truly high-quality trusted subordinates to use for his own purposes, not the kind of cowardly people who could shoulder such a heavy responsibility. As soon as he finished speaking, there was complete silence at the scene. It was obvious that everyone was shocked by this unique selection method. "This Eighth King Zhang Xianzhong has a pretty good style of doing things." Li Dingguo, who was standing solemnly below, heard this and his eyes lit up. He thought to himself, "The fact that he could think of this first is enough to prove that he has the talent to match his ambition. This is somewhat different from the Eighth King that I imagined." "In the history books of my previous life that survived in the 21st century, he was slandered by history books that massively distorted the facts and fabricated stories, becoming the scapegoat for the Qing Dynasty." "Most of the historical materials left to later generations are probably not true history. Nine out of ten have been tampered with." This magical world has many similarities with the history of Li Dingguo's previous life. So far, the main trajectory of its historical development is roughly the same as that of the Ming Empire in previous history. Although this world is much larger than the earth, the historical development process of dynasties is much longer.
But Li Dingguo guessed that the established historical trajectory would not have changed much if he had not come into this world. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but have some new understanding of the legendary eight kings. Yes, how could a bandit leader who could stir up huge waves in history be as simple as a few words recorded in history? "All of you, listen to me!" Zhang Xianzhong suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "I'll give you a cup of tea to adjust your mentality!" "In the next initial selection, those who can stand still without retreating under the intimidation of my aura will pass smoothly!" After saying that, he stood there motionless, looking coldly at these orphans and beggars, waiting quietly. "Momentum?" "Could it be..." Li Dingguo's heart trembled when he heard this, as if he had guessed something. He quickly calmed down, adjusted his breathing, and tried his best to prepare himself. Although he is a time traveler with a golden finger, he is also very clear that in this world where classes are completely solidified, there are very few opportunities to change his own destiny. When the opportunity first comes, if you miss it and fail to successfully make the first pot of gold and establish a foundation for yourself, you may be eliminated by the chaotic world. As hundreds of beggar boys waited anxiously, a cup of tea had passed quietly. At this moment, Zhang Xianzhong suddenly raised his head, his blood boiling, and after flowing with the true energy in his body, it merged into one, and he roared! "Roar!" An extremely magical scene appeared in the eyes of hundreds of young people: they saw a thick black and red blood smoke suddenly emerging from Zhang Xianzhong's body! The wolf smoke formed by the extremely rich energy and blood simply twisted a few times before suddenly transforming into the shadow of a huge yellow tiger! This big yellow tiger, which looked somewhat unreal, roared with its head raised and fangs bared as soon as it took shape! Strong bloody power, carrying endless murderous intent, continuously surged towards all the orphan boys in front of and below the platform! "Fuck!" "What is this? It's so outrageous!" Li Dingguo was shocked for a moment. Before he had time to think about it, he felt as if he was in a sea of blood and corpses! These waves of violent murderous intent overturned Li Dingguo's three views and made him tremble with fear. An indescribable deep fear surged into his heart involuntarily! Fortunately, his current mental state is not comparable to that of ordinary people. He quickly gritted his teeth, suppressed the fear in his heart, resisted desperately, and insisted on standing still. "Ah! Don't come over!" "No! I won't back off!" "No! Help!" "Woooo..." In an instant, there was chaos at the scene, with loud cries and shouts! A considerable number of orphans, despite their miserable life experiences and having witnessed or even personally experienced many tragedies in the world, are still controlled by the fear that wells up in their hearts, causing them to act involuntarily by stepping back or even turning around and running away! There were also a large number of teenagers who were so frightened that they peed their pants and shit themselves, and sat down on the ground, crying loudly! Fortunately, Zhang Xianzhong knew his limits and controlled the shadow of his own martial arts image, which he released and retracted immediately. "Come here, drag out all those useless people who are lying on the ground or have left their original positions!" In the blink of an eye, Zhang Xianzhong, who had put away his martial arts skills and restrained his aura, shouted coldly at his two trusted subordinates and a dozen soldiers who were waiting below. "No! Don't chase me away, my king!" "My lord, I am very obedient! Please let me stay!" "My king, please have mercy!"
"No! I don't want to leave!"... Amid the cries and shouts at the scene, a full stick of incense time passed. All the orphan boys who were eliminated in the initial selection were driven together by the ferocious-looking soldiers with sticks, and then dragged out one by one and thrown outside the gate. Their miserable cries did not move the soldiers at all. These soldiers have seen countless things that are a thousand times more miserable than the cruel elimination mode here. How could they possibly be soft-hearted? What's more, this kind of cowardly trash is not worthy of being reused and deserves to be eliminated one by one! Li Dingguo and other orphans who passed the initial selection felt the same way but did not dare to say much. They are all experienced people, and have different tragic life stories and experiences. As long as they are not stupid, they dare not disobey the Eight Kings, lest they be thrown out as well. However, those young men who were lucky enough to pass the first round of warrior selection felt very grateful despite their fear. After these few days of having no worries about food and drink, how could they be willing to go back to the old days of having no food to eat and living in fear of death? Moreover, those orphans and beggar boys who were eliminated were, as the Eighth King said, timid and cowardly, and unteachable. They deserved such an end! This kind of people don't deserve sympathy.
