A few days later, the news of Dong Dashan to Chongming was soon known to all departments. The regiments, which were already fierce in competition, were even more ready to compete, especially for Zhang Zhao's regiments, who were bound to win the first place in the competition. Zhang Zhao returned to the regiment and immediately convened a meeting within the regiment and made preparations.

At this time, Chongming was vast and sparsely populated. The new army's military camp was located in the eastern part of Chongming. It was far away from the locations of local residents. It was not only convenient for garrisoning, but also easier to carry out daily training and competitions due to the existence of terrain and forests.

The days flickered for a few days, and it soon came to the day of the competition. On this day, when Dong Dashan, wearing official uniforms, came to the location with Lin Jianzhang, four regiments of the 18,000 new army joined the artillery regiment, and more than 15,000 people were waiting in line.

In addition to the direct subordinates of the new army and left-behind soldiers, the entire new army's existing combat soldiers have basically been in place. The four regiments are infantry regiments, which are called musket regiments in the new army. They are ready for battle, wearing distinct military uniforms and equipped with new rifles. Tens of thousands of people stand neatly and lined up in five square formations with the artillery regiment. The scene is silent, but it gives people an invisible solemnity and pressure.

As the saying goes, when people are boundless, when Dong Dashan and Lin Jianzhang walked up to the platform built, looking down from the heights, looking at the mighty military appearance and the fierce murderous aura hidden in peace, a serious Dong Dashan smiled with satisfaction on his lips.

Let’s not talk about the others. The military appearance alone is much better than other Ming troops. Dong Dashan was accompanied by Zhu Yicheng when he was training troops. He knew very well about Zhu Yicheng’s request at that time. At that time, Zhu Yicheng said that the training of the army was the first priority. When an army could be as fast as the wind, its rushing as the forest, its rushing as fire, and its movement as the mountains were not moving as the mountains, it was difficult to know as the yin, and its movement as thunder, then this was a strong army in the world, and any enemy would be smashed in front of this army.

Now, the Ming army in various departments also requires training, but very few people can really do this. Now, when Dong Dashan looks at the new army in front of him, the four words "still as if he is as motionless as a mountain" are clearly proof that this alone is enough to be proud.

"Master, the entire army has arrived. The competition is about to begin. Please give orders." At this time, Lin Jianzhang stepped forward and saluted. Although the two are as close as brothers on weekdays, of course they cannot be casual in such occasions.

"General Lin is the commander of the army. I am here today to watch. You should come to the order." Dong Dashan replied seriously. Lin Jianzhang didn't say anything after hearing this, but directly saluted and said that he obeyed the order.

Then, Lin Jianzhang stepped forward a few steps, walked to the front of the stage, looked at the troops in front of him, and stretched his right hand to the side. The personal soldiers who had already prepared quickly stepped forward and handed several order flags into his hands.

Lin Jianzhang took out a command flag, held it high and waved it forward. The troops that were still quiet the moment before suddenly made a sound that shook the earth. Ten thousand people were like one, shouting the slogan "Long live the Ming Dynasty! Long live the saint!". This sound shook the clouds and the earth.

After the three calls, it suddenly became quiet again. Lin Jianzhang waved the flag in his hand again, and the various units began to move. A group of soldiers ranked first on the left walked out of the queue in neat steps. The followers followed him, and their steps were neatly hitting the ground and making a crackling sound. They walked past the high platform. When they passed by the high platform, everyone shouted slogans, holding rifles, and instantly posed for gunfire. His sleekness, Rulin, was majestic.

At this time, Dong Dashan looked at him without turning his eyes. Although his expression was normal, his fists were clenched unconsciously. This scene really made him feel excited and he couldn't feel himself in his heart.

Teams of soldiers passed by the high platform one after another, and then lined up in the back. Even Dong Dashan had not seen such a good fortune for a long time. At this moment, he finally understood why Zhu Yicheng would go against the public and spend so much money to build this new army. If there were three or five such troops in the Ming Dynasty, it would be easy to sweep the world.

Restraining his excitement, Dong Dashan continued to look down. After half an hour, when all the queues were completed, Lin Jianzhang raised the flag and waved it again, and the formal competition finally began.

There are several events in the big score, including rifle exercises, artillery shooting, offensive queues, defense drills, sword and shield soldiers exercises, etc. In addition, there are bare hands and precise shooting, etc. The most shocking thing is the simulated battle.

The simulated battle is carried out completely according to actual tactics. Each regiment conducts simulated battles, which are divided into rifle soldiers, rifle soldiers confronting with swords and shield soldiers, confrontation between swords and shield soldiers, etc. Among them, each artillery team is also involved. Although the rifles and artillery fires are not loaded, the scene is fierce and there is no difference between them and the real battlefield, which makes people excited.

It has to be said that Lin Jianzhang is well-trained and well-trained, and it is almost impossible to distinguish between the divisions of each division. However, there is no first in literature or martial arts. As the competition progresses, Zhang Zhao's elite team gradually showed his superior skills. Not only did he surpass his opponents in several projects, but he also completed it slightly better than the divisions.

"This kid really has a trick, and he has indeed put in a lot of effort." He put down the Qianli Mile Mile in his hand, and Dong Dashan nodded with satisfaction. He was particularly satisfied with Zhang Zhao's expression. As for the other groups, of course, it was not bad. The gap was very small, which made him feel that this trip was worthy.

"Don't worry, the simulated battle is coming soon, you have to take a closer look." Lin Jianzhang said with a smile. Simulation battle is the top priority and the best way to test the training of the troops. Although it is not as good as actual combat, it is not far from the gap.

Dong Dashan nodded slightly and waited patiently for the arrival of the simulated actual combat. In order to ensure the fairness of the simulated actual combat, each regiment set out a battalion and fought against each other. After a few rounds, Zhang Zhao won two games, so that he would compete with the other regiment for the first place.

The final contest is finally about to begin, which will be the decisive factor in determining whether Zhang Zhaotuan can win the first place. But who would have thought that just when both sides were ready, the weather suddenly became less beautiful. The weather was not bad the moment before, and suddenly it was covered with dark clouds, strong winds blew, and in a blink of an eye, it started to rain again.

Seeing this scene, Lin Jianzhang was caught off guard. He asked Dong Dashan whether to suspend the competition and then conduct the competition when the weather improved. Who would have thought about it? After a moment of thinking, he said, "There is no need to change the schedule. There is no way to deal with God's mood in this war. Now it's right, let them compete in the rain."
