"Allow me to introduce myself, I am Sun Wukong of the Water Curtain Cave in the Flower-Fruit Mountain, located in the Aolai Kingdom of the East Victorious Divine Continent, anointed as the Great Sage Equalling Heaven. Currently, I temporarily serve as a Deputy General for this Heavenly River Navy, and from now on, these thousand soldiers are under my command!"
The Heavenly River Navy has a drill exercise at the beginning of each month. Originally, the command of a Vice-General covers five thousand men, but within the whole army of one hundred thousand, there are twenty Deputy Generals like Sun Wukong. However, Marshal Tianpeng, Zhu Tianpeng, allocated only a thousand soldiers to Sun Wukong, whereas the other Deputy Generals had their full complement. The vacancies of the entire Heavenly River Navy were all concentrated under Sun Wukong.
