After receiving the message from home, the Eight Banners disciples, who saw no hope, had no choice but to accept their fate.
The only thing that made them feel relieved was that this brutal training only lasted three months. After three months, they can return home and continue to be young masters who eat, drink and have fun.
So even if the training is very hard, there are not a few delicious mouthfuls, and even if every day is living like a year, no one will run away anymore. Many people use a pen to draw a stroke on the wall of the military building every day, thinking about when they can leave this ghost place.
This is also the belief that supports most people in the military camp to continue.
Time flew by, and two and a half months passed quickly.
Although Hershey Halley's training was very cruel, his special training greatly improved the military discipline of the entire military camp. Let’s not talk about other things, but after undergoing corporal punishment, whipping, starvation, etc., the originally chaotic Eight Banners disciples were soon able to line up in an orderly manner.
Under the training of Hesheli Halley, many people in the army have also perfected their personal martial arts skills. At least in horseback shooting, they can no longer miss the target.
You must know that when Qianlong went to Jiangnan for the first time, the Eight Banners' military preparedness was extremely lax.
During Qianlong's military parade, the Eight Banners soldiers often missed their targets when shooting on horseback. Qianlong's face turned dark during the whole process. This was the situation that occurred during Qianlong's military parade. One can imagine how corrupt the Eight Banners soldiers were at that time.
Therefore, if Qianlong could see the results of Hesheli Harley's training here, he would definitely be very satisfied.
In addition to riding and shooting, the training focused more on the use of muskets by the Eight Banners soldiers.
Since the rise of the Yijun, the Manchu Qing Dynasty also began to pay attention to firearms. Although they could not obtain Da Yi's smokeless gunpowder formula, they were no longer complacent and unwilling to make progress like before.
On the contrary, the Manchu Qing Dynasty also mobilized the Ministry of Industry and hired Dai Zi's son Dai Jing and others to jointly develop new weapons. The Eight Banners soldiers who originally only used matchlocks began to be equipped with flintlock muskets.
The Ministry of Industry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty even followed the lead of the Yi Army and produced breech-loaded flintlock muskets. However, because they did not produce machine tools, the accuracy was always very poor, and they lacked the necessary rubber seals. The sealing effect was very unclear. The Manchu Eight Banners soldiers of the Three Banners were produced and equipped in small quantities with high maintenance costs.
In addition, some officials from the Ministry of Industry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, together with Dai Jing and others, also passed some manuscripts left by Dai Zi and produced the legendary Lianzhu system that can fire twenty-eight rounds in a row. Although the output has never been large, However, after several months of full-scale production, more than 30 units were produced, and now they were all sent to Shanxian County and handed over to Hesheli Harley for training.
The large amount of resources invested gave Hesheli Halley the confidence that "my army is invincible".
Therefore, before the soldiers had been trained for three months, Hershey Halley convened a military meeting, at which he explained Qianlong's imperial edict to attack Feng County.
In the meeting, not everyone was worried about the situation that Hesheli Halley had considered before, but they saw that the soldiers trained now were more elite than the Eight Banners soldiers they had seen before, and the resources from the imperial court were constantly being shipped here. , and the emperor also issued an imperial edict, so he did not dare to say more.
The day after the meeting, Hesheli Halley conducted a military parade on the school field. As the drums of assembly sounded, Hesheli Halley and other generals and officials standing on the school field stage saw the troops quickly assembled in array. .
Such a scene made Hesheli Harley feel extremely proud.
Especially when I think about it, just two months ago, when I ordered Mao for the first time here, these people were still like a mess. Hesheli Halley's heart was full of indescribable mixed feelings.
Of course, the scene in front of them also made the envoy sent by Qianlong very satisfied. They praised Hesheli Halle for his skill in military management. When he returned, he would definitely report it to His Majesty and reward Hesheli Halle.
The envoy's praise made Hesheli Halley's heart feel so happy, and he thanked the envoy repeatedly.
As the three rally drums ended, Hershey Halley also stood up from the podium and said: "Hello, soldiers."
"Hello, General..."
After a burst of cheers, Hesheli Halley pressed his hand to signal silence.
At this time, Hesheli Halley began to say loudly: "I know that many of you are not willing to come here to train. Some people even secretly drew the word "正" on the wall of the military camp and planned to wait for three months. When will it end."
There was silence below, no one dared to speak.
"Actually, like you, I also hope that you can complete your training as soon as possible and return home to enjoy yourself." Hesheli Harley laughed a few times as he spoke.
"Now, there is less than half a month left, and your training is about to be completed."
After Hesheli Halley finished speaking, although the Eight Banners soldiers below did not dare to move, their hearts were filled with joy.
Originally, they were worried that even if they trained honestly for three months, the court would still refuse to let them go. Now that these words come from the mouth of Hesheli Halley, it can be said to be safe.
At this time, Hesheli Halle seemed to ignore the joy of the soldiers below, and continued to speak: "But you must understand that we are all soldiers. As the saying goes, 'eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor', It doesn’t mean that we have completed our mission after three months of training.”
All of a sudden, the soldiers below felt their hearts drop to the lowest point. Is the thing they were most worried about going to happen?
As a result, there was a slight commotion in the team that was standing still. Fortunately, there were officers nearby who scolded them, so they were able to maintain stability.
"Everyone be quiet, don't worry. What I'm saying is not that you should continue training after three months of training, but that as long as you complete the task, you can end the training early and return home." Seeing the scene become relatively quiet, Hesheli . Harley quickly explained.
"I wonder what mission the general is talking about?" At this time, the admiring officer asked a timely question from below.
"It's very simple. After more than two months of training, I think you have become an elite army. There is no problem in sweeping away the rebels on the opposite side. But no matter how elite the army is, it is empty talk without being tested on the battlefield."
"Now, there is a group of rebels in Feng County across the way. Their number is smaller than ours. Do you have the confidence to join me in wiping out the rebels opposite in order to repay the emperor's great favor?" Hesheli Harley encouraged loudly, A surge of heroic spirit made the soldiers below feel that they could defeat invincible opponents in the world.
"Yes, yes..."
