"No more nonsense, I see you are all dripping with laughter, let's eat!"
Following Wang Cheng's order, everyone immediately dispersed and rushed towards their own camp.
They have been starving for a long time. How can they resist the temptation of the aroma of beef and mutton now?
Although they were frontier troops and the elite of the Zhou army, they rarely had the opportunity to eat beef and mutton. They usually had to wait until they won a battle to get this good taste.
"Sir, please take a bite too!"
At this time, the clerk Chen Jia brought a roasted lamb leg to Wang Cheng from nowhere.
Wang Cheng frowned, took the leg of lamb, but raised it into the air, saying: "Today, the first one who runs back to the camp will come forward!"
Immediately, a burly man ran forward, with a funny and cute smile on his fleshy face, and said: "I've seen you, sir!"
Wang Cheng nodded, put the leg of lamb into his hand, and tried to ask: "Yin Bo?"
"Yes!" Yin Bo nodded.
Wang Cheng smiled and said "Not bad".
This is a centurion under his command whose cultivation has reached the Qi and Blood realm. Judging from his performance today, he is even stronger than his immediate superior, Jun Hou Zhang Yi.
After patting him on the shoulder and encouraging him a few words, Wang Cheng returned to the tent.
Chen Jia also followed in and asked cautiously: "Sir, I am being reckless."
Wang Cheng waved his hand and said, "You go have something to eat first, and you have to train in the evening."
"You still want to practice?" Chen Jia said subconsciously.
Seeing Wang Cheng looking at him, he quickly closed his mouth, bowed and stepped back.
Wang Cheng sat upright in his seat, took a Qi and Blood Pill and put it into his mouth. At his current state, eating that leg of lamb was as if he had not eaten it. There was too little nutrition, not enough to absorb, and it would only increase some excretion.
Therefore, after he entered the Qi and Blood Realm, his food was replaced by Qi and Blood Pills, unless the flesh and blood of small demons and big demons could meet his needs.
After meditating for a while, Wang Cheng came out of the big tent and saw that everyone was still eating, which was very lively.
Wang Cheng smiled and said: "Eat so damn hard! How can you train if you don't eat enough?"
These words immediately caused a cry, and many people suddenly felt that beef and mutton no longer tasted good.
Wang Cheng grinned and continued: "I can't care about other parts of the game, and I don't want to care about them, but you, starting from today, will train morning and night!"
Another heavy bomb was dropped, and there was a wailing in the huge camp.
"Stop fucking mourning! Do you think I am deliberately torturing you?"
Wang Cheng pressed his hand down, and when everyone stopped talking, he continued: "I have read the files of all of you. There are about a thousand people, and 60% of them are low-class soldiers. They can only get a monthly salary of Five taels of silver. Five taels of silver is a lot for most people. It can buy more than ten stones of millet, but who doesn’t have a headache? Also, are you not going to get a wife? Do you plan to stay in the military camp for the rest of your life? "
Everyone was thoughtful and lowered their heads secretly.
These words simply touched their hearts.
People of their age in the village had long since married and had children, but they were the only ones who didn't like any women at all. When the matchmaker heard that it was for the big-headed soldiers, she turned around and left.
Why?
No money!
No right!
die!
Do not have time!
Some people may think that five taels of silver a month is enough for ordinary families, but if the five taels of silver fall into the hands of soldiers, will there be still five taels left in the end?
impossible!
All of them are young people in their twenties, which is the age when they are in their prime of life. Women, gambling, and having fun are irresistible temptations for them, so the five taels of silver they receive in one month are basically not retained in the next month. Those with large expenses may also have foreign debt.
How could a woman want such a man who had no money, no power, and could die on the battlefield at any time?
"Is it really that difficult to go from the initial growth of muscles and bones to the completion of muscles and bones? Or have you accepted the reality that no one wants it now? Have you become numb?"
The more Wang Cheng spoke, the louder his voice became, but everyone's heads dropped even lower.
"If you want to get a wife, have money to spend, and survive the coming war, you can only do one thing, and that is practice!"
Wang Cheng watched everyone gradually raise their heads and said loudly: "As long as you can't practice to death, practice to death. Sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in war!"
"Follow me, don't dare say anything else. I guarantee that you will be promoted from a low-class soldier to a medium-class soldier quickly. You will get an extra tael of silver. When you go to the battlefield in the future, you will have a better chance of survival."
After hearing this, everyone's eyes finally regained their brightness. This guarantee was what they wanted.
"Okay! You've eaten, you've drank, you've said everything you need to say. You are allowed to move around freely for half an hour. In half an hour, I will see everyone here lining up!"
After saying these words, Wang Cheng turned around and entered the tent, leaving everyone looking at each other.
after an hour.
Under the leadership of Wang Cheng, thousands of people once again marched out of the camp.
The other people in the camp were a little confused, wondering if these people were mentally ill for running out so late at night.
Lian Zhonglang General Zhu Bangguo finally had to send someone to ask what they were doing out there, because under normal circumstances they rarely moved at night, except for night raids.
After learning that he was going out for training, Zhu Bangguo secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If he didn't trust Wang Cheng very much, he would never agree to Wang Cheng doing this.
There are thousands of people. If they are taken away by someone with ulterior motives, it will be a serious crime of beheading!
Night.
There was a cool breeze, a bright moon was already hanging on the treetops, and a group of people were running in unison on the empty plain.
"Have you forgotten the breathing method I taught you this morning? Exhale every two or three steps, inhale every two or three steps, and try to breathe through your nose. The steps should be small, the speed should be slow, and the legs should be raised low..."
Wang Cheng followed one side of the team, giving everyone guidance while running.
Although I was coached once in the morning, people's habits cannot be changed instantly, so they need to be coached multiple times until they form muscle memory.
"ah!"
Suddenly, a scream came from the team, followed by another, one after another.
Wang Cheng quickly stopped everyone, and he immediately realized that a stampede had occurred.
"what happened?"
"Someone fell!"
Wang Cheng followed the sound to the chaotic place, where a dozen people fell to the ground and howled.
He helped up a man who was grimacing in pain and said, "How could a perfectly good person fall down?"
The man lowered his head and whispered: "I...I can't see."
Wang Cheng frowned and suddenly remembered something. He patted the subordinate on the shoulder, comforted him not to be mentally burdened, and said, "Who else can't see?"
No one spoke at first, but many people raised their hands one after another.
After a quick count, there were more than half.
Wang Cheng sighed secretly. This world doesn't care much about nutritional balance. There are too many patients with night blindness.
"gather!"
Suddenly, he shouted loudly, and the loud sound spread hundreds of meters.
After hearing this, everyone immediately lined up and looked at Wang Cheng, wondering what he was going to do next.
The corner of Wang Cheng's mouth raised, and everyone immediately secretly said "No". They had gradually become familiar with Wang Cheng's style.
"Don't be nervous!"
Wang Cheng smiled and said: "The target is Ma Tou Town, everyone sets off immediately. When we get there, I will treat you to something to eat!"
Everyone was stunned at first, and then cheered. Everyone was immediately full of energy, turned around and ran towards Ma Tou Town.
"Don't be in a hurry! Keep the pace, if anyone else falls down again, I'll treat you to the northwest wind!"
After laughing and scolding, Wang Cheng called Centurion Yin Bo and gave him some special instructions.
A group of people headed for Ma Tou Town in a mighty manner. With the previous lessons, their speed was much slower.
However, half an hour later, everyone arrived at Ma Tou Town. The arrival of more than a thousand people alarmed everyone in Ma Tou Town.
The people of Ma Tou Town who had been lying down got up from the bed. They all looked at the sudden appearance of more than a thousand soldiers with panic and surprise.
"Boss Ma!"
Wang Cheng walked out of the crowd and came to Lao Ma who was standing in front of everyone.
Lao Ma had a big belly. He didn't recognize Wang Cheng, who was in military uniform at first. It wasn't until Wang Cheng came closer that he recognized him: "Which hero are you...?"
Wang Cheng nodded, looked him up and down, frowned and said, "Boss Ma, what is this?"
After not seeing him for a day, Lao Ma seemed to have aged ten years, his eyes were bloodshot, his hair had not been washed much, and he was no longer as energetic as before.
"Why!"
Lao Ma sighed, with a bitter look on his face.
Why doesn't Wang Cheng know the problem?
He must have been distressed because the horses at the racecourse ran away. He was one of the largest merchants at the racecourse. He had thousands of horses, most of them good horses. If they all ran away at once, the loss was too great.
"No!" Wang Cheng suddenly remembered something.
As far as he knew, the horses that escaped from the racecourse were not taken away by the Black Eagle Army. Zhu Bangguo said personally that the Black Eagle Army's conspiracy did not succeed.
However, Wang Cheng didn't say anything about it. Although he didn't know what was wrong with it, it must have been very involved, and he could lose his head by accident.
"lets change a topic."
Lao Ma waved his hand, looked at Wang Cheng's attire, then looked at the men and horses behind him, and said: "Hero is..."
At the moment, Wang Cheng gave a brief summary of what happened in the past two days.
After listening, Lao Ma quickly raised his fists and saluted Wang Cheng: "Disrespect! It turns out that the hero is a military commander under General Zhu!"
Then, he said to the people in Ma Tou Town behind him: "Don't worry, everyone, this is the Army Sima under General Jianwei Zhonglang. He will pass by here tonight."
When everyone heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
After last night's riot, the people of Ma Tou Town felt a shadow cast over their hearts. Because of the geographical location of Matou Town, there are only a small number of petty officials in charge of the town, and there are more than 10,000 people under Zhu Bang's leadership outside to guard the town, so there is no need for a county government, and Matou Town is not considered a county seat.
