"Keep moving forward! Go to the open space in front and wait for reorganization. Everyone pick up their belongings, don't wander around, and line up according to the instructions..."
The soldiers in the battalion next to them shouted loudly, which pulled Zhang Xun, Li Hao and other recruits out of their shock. Everyone followed the team to the reorganization area. A group of flag generals led the new army soldiers to start reorganizing everyone. .
"Zhang Xun, Li Hao!"
Zhang Xun and Li Hao quickly put down their things, handed over their number plates, and then hurriedly held the things on the ground in their hands again, for fear of losing one.
"Zhang Xun has excellent results in the selection. He is assigned to the left post of the third battalion of the new recruit camp. He will be the captain of the third team of the left post."
"Li Hao has excellent results in the selection. He is assigned to the left post of the third battalion of the new recruit camp. He will be the captain of the fourth team of the left post."
A flag general wrote on the number plate the organizational structure that Zhang Xun and Li Hao were assigned to, then pointed to another flag general next to him and said to Zhang Xun and Li Hao: "That is your two bosses, the flag general." , starting from today, you will follow him for training, and you must obey the orders of your commander-in-chief for everything in the camp, and you must report anything to the commander-in-chief directly, do you understand?"
Zhang Xun and Li Hao installed their number plates and hurriedly took orders.
Later, Zhang Xun, Li Hao and several other recruits who were appointed as captains were gathered by the flag general. The flag general had an obvious scar on his face, and his legs and feet were still a little lame when he walked. Xun and Li Hao thought to themselves: "They must be veterans of the new army. After being injured and unable to go back to the battlefield, they are training new recruits here? It seems that Lord Conduct is really affectionate. Such disabled soldiers will not give up!"
"follow me."
General Qi gave the order, and Zhang Xun, Li Hao and others hurriedly followed behind and came directly to a place on the left side of the camp. There were rows of houses here, neat and uniform, with twenty large houses in each row. , all of them are good houses with blue bricks and tiles. The recruits Zhang Xun, Li Hao and other recruits' eyes widened when they saw it. The houses in these military camps are better than many houses they have seen!
Mr. Qi led everyone to the third row, and then arranged each two captains into a room. When they arrived at the fifth room, Mr. Qi opened the door and greeted Zhang Xun and Li Hao to go in.
"This is our dormitory. There are two teams and thirty people living in each house here. From today on, you will eat and live here with me. During the training period, we will be classmates."
"yes!"
Zhang Xun and Li Hao looked at the room. A large passage running from east to west was in the innermost part of the room. Beside the outer wall were ten tables, with pens, inks, paper and inkstones on them. Next to each table were A shelf with a small hook on it.
Boss Qi said to the two of them: "Each of you choose half the table and half the bed for your new recruits. Then hang your name tags on the hooks, organize everything, and put them all on the shelves. Go up. Put all the bedding on the bunk and fold them, and the same goes for the clothes..."
"yes!"
At this moment, twenty-eight new recruits were brought here and placed under Zhang Xun and Li Hao respectively. President Qi inevitably repeated what he had just said.
When everyone was almost done sorting it out, Mr. Qi walked to the shelf where Zhang Xun and Li Haoxuan had chosen it, then took everything down and sorted it out with his own hands in front of everyone.
"Towels should be hung vertically like this. After washing every day, the towels should be washed and dried. There must be no stains or odors. Cups, tableware, and toiletries should be placed on top and arranged neatly, and everyone's belongings should be It must be in a straight line and cannot be placed randomly!”
"The bedding should be folded into four folds like this, and it should be folded into tofu-like cubes. The clothes should be folded like this, making sure there are no wrinkles!"
Zhang Xun, Li Hao and others were dumbfounded when they saw this. How could they be soldiers? Even the homes of gentry and officials couldn't be so tidy, right?
General Qi ignored everyone's surprised look and continued: "Master Cheng said that we are not the old-style soldiers of other guard camps, but soldiers, soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, soldiers who go through fire and water for the Chinese people! So, each of you, Everyone must maintain their own image. Not only must they practice strictly, but they must also maintain a high spirited outlook and a clean internal environment at all times!” 33
"Today you will practice according to the standards I have compiled. You will do this in one day today. Starting from tomorrow morning, I will check your housekeeping every morning. Those who fail will be severely punished!"
Zhang Xun, Li Hao and others were immediately dumbfounded, and then under the supervision of the flag general, they began to practice cleaning up the housekeeping. They practiced until dinner time, and then they all passed the flag general's inspection.
That night, Zhang Xun and Li Hao's bannermen all gathered in a huge tent. In the New Army camp, everyone ate in units of flags. In the open space on the north side of the camp, dozens of people gathered together. Two huge tents are neatly arranged, and this is the "canteen" for all the soldiers.
Zhang Xun and Li Hao sat on the chairs, looking at the food that had been laid out, and couldn't help but swallow their saliva. Like the other twenty-eight recruits in the same team, everyone's eyes never left their seats from the moment they sat down. Food on the table.
White meat flatbreads, salted meat with black bean paste, stewed pork in a large pot, boiled eggs, whole steamed fish, roast rabbit, each person was given a large bowl of mutton soup, and there were as many as ten kinds of preserved fruits. Several plates, as well as white steamed buns and snow-white rice.
On the ground on one side of the table, there is a large wooden bucket with egg soup in it. Large pieces of egg flowers are floating in the soup, looking full of oily flowers.
Such a table of food is beyond the understanding of these recruits: isn't it something that only wealthy officials can afford?
Zhang Xun and Li Hao even pinched themselves hard, fearing that they were dreaming and would not be able to eat such rich and delicious food once they woke up.
At this moment, the commander of Zhang Xun and Li Hao's flag came in with a dozen soldiers, each carrying two large wine jars, which were obviously Shaoguo wine produced in Dapanbao. Then the dozen or so soldiers began to distribute the wine jars to each table.
I saw General Qi saying loudly: "Brothers! Tonight is the first meal for everyone who joins the army, and it is also the first meal for our new barracks. Lord Conduct has an order to let everyone eat and drink well, so he specially ordered someone to bring a big plate The Shaoguo Liquor in the fort, everyone will not get drunk tonight!"
Everyone cheered immediately after hearing this, and even some recruits with shallow tears burst into tears. Such food and wine were unimaginable in their lives before, but today they can eat and drink to their heart's content, just like in a dream. generally.
Zhang Xun and Li Hao were also filled with emotion. Looking at the excitement of their companions around them, if anyone dared to say even half a bad word about Liu Yan in front of everyone, they would be immediately ripped apart by Zhang Xun, Li Hao and other recruits. Broken into pieces, Liu Yan is now the "leader" in everyone's hearts and cannot be slandered by anyone.
The flag general asked everyone to fill up their glasses with wine, then raised the wine glasses high and said loudly to everyone: "Everyone will not go home until they are drunk tonight. Early tomorrow morning, each flag will begin to organize and study military disciplines and regulations, and begin to organize formation, physical fitness and other training .”
"Starting from tomorrow, each team will practice various subjects during the day and start reading and literacy at night. The commanding officer's office has recruited a large number of literate gentlemen, who will be in place tomorrow."
Zhang Xun, Li Hao and others were very surprised when they heard that they not only had to undergo various trainings, but also read and write. Isn't being a soldier just about practicing good martial arts so that you can go into battle and kill the enemy? What is the use of reading and recognizing words?
Mr. Qi looked at everyone's puzzled expressions and said with a smile: "I didn't understand why I wanted to study at first, but one day I was lucky enough to meet Master Chengsheng, so I asked. Do you know how Master Chengsheng answered me? "
Zhang Xun and Li Hao looked at Mr. Qi with envy in their eyes. When can they see Master Cheng?
All the recruits shook their heads.
Mr. Qi said: "At that time, Lord Cheng said to me: We in China have always had a tradition of becoming generals and becoming prime ministers. The men of our country should also be both civil and military. When you get on the horse, you can carry a gun to expand the territory, and when you get off the horse, you can use a pen to manage the country! Let's! You study and read, hoping that one day you will have the opportunity to serve as a general, make great contributions to China, and seek peace for the people!"
Zhang Xun, Li Hao and other recruits were shocked when they heard this. Liu Yan's words moved everyone.
Mr. Qi raised his wine glass and said to everyone: "Master Cheng Cheng values them very much and spends huge sums of money to train you, just in the hope that one day we can stabilize the world with you! For this first glass of wine tonight, let's pay homage to Master Cheng from a distance! "
"Congratulations, my lord!"
"Congratulations, my lord!"
After drinking a glass of strong wine, Zhang Xun and Li Hao felt a burning sensation rolling down their throats. There was an indescribable feeling tumbling in their stomachs, which was very comfortable.
Through the feeling of being slightly tipsy, Zhang Xun and Li Hao realized that they had arrived in a new world. Starting tonight, their lives had completely changed.
Starting from the next day, the new recruits from each unit began training. At the beginning, it was just simple basic training, and the new recruits handled it easily. Zhang Xun and Li Hao still didn't feel that there was any difficulty in this recruit training, but on the fourth day, Liu Yan came to the recruit camp in person. Under Liu Yan's auspices, they increased the amount of exercise and basic physical training subjects. Do it to the highest standards too, and everything changes.
The new recruits had just adapted to the increased amount of training, and Liu Yan added another twenty-mile heavy-loaded march to them every day.
Including Zhang Xun and Li Hao, all recruits must be fully armed, each carrying a weight of about thirty kilograms, and must return to the camp before lunch, otherwise no one will have to eat lunch!
For ten consecutive days, not to mention around the recruit camp, even around the entire Lingshan Acropolis, almost every piece of land had their footprints.
Just like this, many people couldn't hold on anymore. The recruits practiced to the point of dying every day. It was really not something that anyone could bear. All the recruits under Zhang Xun were complaining.
Zhang Xun was also encouraged by his subordinates to complain to Mr. Qi. Mr. Qi also said with a sad face: "This training is personally hosted by Master Conduct. We only have to persist. Who has the courage to say no to the training? If you still have the strength, you will be there." Go ahead and nag, I’m going to have a rest!”
Zhang Xun was immediately discouraged when he heard this.
The next day, when everyone was preparing to march with heavy loads, Liu Yan announced in public: After this training, all unqualified recruits will be removed from the new army, and all recruits who passed the training will begin to receive military pay and soldiers. Be prepared!
As soon as these words came out, everyone's morale was greatly boosted. The resentment in everyone's hearts immediately disappeared. Even the heavy-loaded march that was about to begin didn't seem so scary anymore.
Near noon, Zhang Xun and Li Hao each returned to the recruit camp with their exhausted recruits. What awaits everyone is not hot meals, but the numerous training equipment brought by Liu Yan!
After the wooden spears and knives were handed out, Zhang Xun, Li Hao and other recruits knew in their hearts that their suffering was far from over.
Sure enough, after lunch, Liu Yan ordered everyone to tie sandbags on the arms and legs of all the recruits, and add iron blocks to the wooden spears and knives used for training!
After that, everyone repeated the seven or eight moves taught by Liu Yan thousands of times every day. These moves were refined by Liu Yan based on actual combat needs. This method was used to allow everyone to form muscle memory so that they could fight in battle. Performed normally in the formation.
Moreover, it is also rumored among everyone that all the training volume during the training period was adjusted by Liu Yan at any time after arranging the flag generals to observe everyone's status!
After this statement spread, Zhang Xun also observed carefully and found that as long as the recruits could hold chopsticks while eating, the training on the next day would definitely be increased!
As a result, all the recruits, including Zhang Xun, Li Hao and others, learned the lesson. Without exception, they all held the bowls with their hands and ate. No one used chopsticks anymore. Everyone would rather eat like a dog. I don’t want to be tired and lose half my life the next day.
In this way, after everyone was deceived for a few days, the flag commanders became more and more perverted, and everyone began to observe the new recruits going to the toilet.
As long as the flag commanders find that the recruits can go to the toilet alone, it means that their arms, legs and feet have not received "sufficient" exercise, which means that the amount of training needs to be increased again.
Faced with such a situation, all the new recruits who participated in the training were desperate. Everyone went to the toilet as a team of fifteen people, and they all asked others to help support them and pull up their pants... Even Zhang Xun wanted to When going to the toilet, you also need to take your brothers with you, and they will "help" each other solve the problem.
Some people died, but not completely...
