The rise of the poor

Chapter 2088 Gift of Armor

"You ignorant little bastard, why don't you apologize to Master Zhu? Master Zhu knows your grandmother better than you do."

Mrs. Wa glared at Cen Dalu and lectured him.

"Oh, no need, no need. Why would I bother with a child?" Zhu Ping'an smiled slightly and waved his hand.

"Who are you calling a kid?" Cen Dalu immediately stiffened his neck, feeling extremely humiliated.

Then, he was slapped on the shoulder by Madam Wa with a soul-destroying palm and was severely suppressed.

"You are so childish, and you still say you are not a child! If you think you are not a child, then be a man, take the responsibility you should bear, and apologize for your mistakes. Do you need me to teach you again?!"

Mrs. Wa scolded him with annoyance.

"I..." Cen Dalu was indignant and tangled. He hesitated for two seconds and finally made up his mind. He turned to look at Zhu Ping'an. He looked like he was going to the execution ground. He clasped his fists and saluted Zhu Ping'an. He bowed his head and apologized, "Master Zhu, right? I was wrong. I apologize to you. I shouldn't have said that you were a hypocritical Master Zhongyuan without knowing you. I take back what I said. You are not a hypocritical Master Zhongyuan. You do know my grandmother and can name her like the back of your hand. I apologize to you."

Although the apology seemed a bit forced, the attitude of apology was still there.

"No one is perfect, but it is the greatest virtue to be able to correct one's mistakes." Zhu Ping'an smiled and nodded.

"Look at how broad-minded Prime Minister Zhu is. He doesn't bear grudges against you, a villain." Mrs. Wa couldn't help but praise him.

then

He couldn't help but become sarcastic again, "I feel relieved that Lord Zhu is broad-minded. I'm just worried that you are not broad-minded enough and cannot accept the result."

"Oh, what did you say?" Zhu Pingan asked cooperatively.

"Just now, your Zhejiang Army and our Wolf Soldiers competed in a total of five matches. Our Wolf Soldiers won three and lost two, while your Zhejiang Army lost three and won two. Your Zhejiang Army is no match for our Wolf Soldiers at all."

Cen Dalu said with a smug and proud look on his face.

"Congratulations! The wolf soldiers are the most ferocious and brave in the world. Their reputation is well-deserved. Our Zhejiang Army will continue to train."

Zhu Ping'an gave him a thumbs up without hesitation.

"What a pity, Master Zhu arrived too late. The competition has already ended, and there was no prize set before the competition."

Cen Dalu said with a look of regret.

"Don't feel sorry. Although there is no prize before the competition, we can set it after the competition. If you wolf soldiers win, I will reward you handsomely. Let me put it this way. I see that the armor rate of your wolf soldiers is not high, only about one-tenth or one-twelveth of them are armored. Armor can help soldiers resist strong enemies and protect themselves. In order to better fight against the Japanese pirates, I will reward you with 500 sets of cotton armor and 500 sets of iron armor, a total of 1,000 sets of armor, to help you!"

"We can deliver 500 sets of cotton armor to you right now. As for the iron armor, I will send someone to deliver it to you after I return to Shaoxing."

Zhu Pingan said with a smile.

"What? Five hundred sets of cotton armor? Five hundred sets of iron armor?" Cen Dalu opened his mouth in disbelief.

He was just saying it in a sarcastic tone. Who told my grandmother to say that he, the prime minister, had a broad mind and called me a villain?

We never expected that Zhu Ping'an not only frankly admitted that the Wolf Soldiers defeated the Zhejiang Army, but also clearly did not set any prizes before the competition. After the competition, even though he knew that the Zhejiang Army had lost, he still offered us a prize and rewarded us with one thousand sets of armor!

Listen carefully, these are a thousand sets of armor, not a thousand swords, but armor!

The armor is too precious, no, it can be said to be extremely valuable. Not only is it costly and time-consuming to make, but it is also extremely difficult to manufacture!

However, armor is extremely valuable. Wearing one more set of armor can protect one more soldier. Large-scale equipment can effectively resist enemy attacks. Even at critical moments, a group of armored soldiers can turn the tide of the battle.

They, the wolf soldiers, sold all their belongings and turned the chieftain upside down, and they managed to collect more than 700 sets of armor, half of which were older than his grandfather and were very old and barely usable. Not only were half of the armor old, but half of the 700 sets of armor were only half-body armor.

did not expect!

No one expected that Lord Zhu Ping'an would be so generous and give away a thousand sets of armor with just a wave of his hand.

A thousand sets of armor!

Five hundred sets of cotton armor and five hundred sets of iron armor!

Not to mention the armor! Their wolf soldiers only had 300 sets of inferior armor! Lord Zhu waved his hand and gave them 500 sets of armor. The armor distributed by the court was all high-quality armor, which was many times better than the inferior armor of their chieftains!

There is also cotton armor!

At the beginning, Cen Dalu looked down on the cotton armor and said some sarcastic words. As a result, the Zhejiang Army soldiers were so angry that they displayed their cotton armor on the spot. Oh my God, it opened the door to a new world for Cen Dalu.

This cotton armor not only provides comprehensive protection, but also has a defense power that is not inferior to iron armor, and even better, especially when facing firearms, the defense power of cotton armor far exceeds that of iron armor. The most important thing is that this cotton armor is much lighter than iron armor, so it is light and flexible to wear.

Although Cen Dalu acted childishly, he was able to distinguish good from bad armor due to his military training since childhood.

This Mr. Zhu is so generous!

My grandmother is right, Lord Zhu really is a prime minister with a heart as broad as that of a man who can hold a boat. In comparison, I am just a child, no, I am a villain. I judge Lord Zhu's gentlemanly heart with the heart of a villain!

Damn me!

"Sir, we don't have enough armor either."

Liu Dadao muttered to himself that he was still holding a grudge against Cen Dalu for his rude remarks to Zhu Ping'an.

"Although we are not rich, we can still spare 500 sets of cotton armor and 500 sets of iron armor. Didn't we bring 500 extra sets of armor when we came here to prevent the armor from being damaged during the battle of Xu Hai? It just so happens that we will be returning tomorrow and will not be able to participate in this war. So we will leave the spare 500 sets of cotton armor to the wolf soldiers; as for the 500 sets of iron armor, we are used to using cotton armor, and the iron armor in the camp will be given to the wolf soldiers."

Zhu Ping'an waved his hand and spoke slowly.

"Master Zhu, these 500 sets of cotton armor and 500 sets of iron armor are too many. Don't listen to Dalu's nonsense. We didn't set any prizes before the competition, so how can we set them after the competition? Thank you, Master Zhu. Please take back your order."

Mrs. Wa clasped her fists.

"Madam, you are wrong. Even if there is no competition, I will give you these 500 sets of cotton armor and 500 sets of iron armor. You wolf soldiers are brave and good at fighting, but the armor rate is low. One more set of armor can protect one more soldier. These 1,000 sets of armor can make your wolf soldiers more powerful and can better wipe out the Japanese pirates!"

Zhu Pingan waved his hand and insisted. (End of this chapter)
