The sixteen noble disciples were stunned by Jia Huan's beating. Some of the more reckless ones tried to stop them and even beat them in return.
However, they were all severely warned by their family members yesterday that if they could not stay in the Red Flame Army, their family would completely abandon them.
Give them some property and let them fend for themselves.
Speaking of which, although these sixteen people are all the legitimate sons of the family, they are not the eldest son, and they have no share in the inheritance of the title.
The property they can inherit is also extremely limited.
Therefore, once their family abandons them, they will have no chance to turn around in their lives.
Entering the Red Flame Army this time is probably their best chance and also their only chance.
So in the end, these sixteen people finally endured it and began to stand up obediently in a military posture.
The other 10,000 new troops continued training after a quarter of an hour's rest.
The next training is to rest, stand astride, and turn left, right and backward.
The training of stopping intermittent transfer method is much more difficult than Jia Huan imagined.
Just because the vast majority of these 10,000 recruits cannot tell the difference between left and right, this is also closely related to the low literacy rate in this era.
Jia Huan had to let them remember that his inflexible hand was his left hand - except for left-handers.
The other hand is the right hand.
After training, these new recruits slowly adapted.
In the last half hour, one hundred recruits were selected and served as the gang leaders to cook.
Jia Huan prepares for the recruitment period of the Red Flame Army. There is no fixed quota for the Huotou soldiers.
The first is rotation, and later the training will be based on performance. The 100 people with the worst performance will serve as gang leaders.
Training should take at least half a year to a year, and then the positions of leader and leader should be completely fixed.
Introduce a competition mechanism. Only with competition can there be motivation.
The sixteen noble sons became the monkeys that everyone paid attention to among the ten thousand recruits.
Of the sixteen people, two fainted before they could stand for an hour. Jia Huan ordered people to carry them out for treatment.
The remaining fourteen people stood there for an hour.
After the time was up, the bodies of these fourteen people were almost stiff, and their legs could not be bent.
These sixteen noble men have become negative teaching materials for all new recruits.
As negative teaching materials, they are really successful.
Even the noble disciples were not given any preferential treatment in front of the general. On the contrary, they were even more harsh.
This made the other 10,000 recruits even more motivated to perform well in training.
I started physical training in the afternoon, starting with a five-kilometer run, followed by ten sets of push-ups, single-leg squats, frog jumps and other sets.
And as expected, the sixteen noble disciples fell out of control again.
At the five-kilometer mark, they fell to last place.
During the physical training later, the performance of the 10,000 recruits varied from strong to weak.
But their physical fitness was much better than these 16 people. When all 10,000 recruits completed ten sets of training, among the 16 of them, the best only completed five sets.
They really couldn't get up, and everyone was so exhausted that they lay on the ground and vomited.
They were martial arts disciples in the capital. They fought cocks, walked dogs, and watched flowers every day. How had they ever suffered like this?
Of course, they also have self-esteem and ambition.
They also want to seize this opportunity firmly.
It's a pity that their physical fitness is not enough to support their dignity.
And Jia Huan did not give them any preferential treatment.
Jia Huan shouted with a loudspeaker: "You sixteen losers, stand up for me, General. If you can't complete ten sets of training, you can't have dinner!"
"In my opinion, the sixteen of you are all trash and losers! You are just maggots and bed bugs! You are not worthy of being on the stage!"
"Quickly give up and get out of the military camp! So what if you persist now? In half a month, there will be a physical fitness test. Anyone who fails will get out!"
"And you losers are destined to fail, and you will all be kicked out when the time comes! In that case, you might as well get out now and save yourself more than ten days of punishment!"
They are all young people, and besides, they are all young men born in martial arts, and they are all playboys. Who doesn’t have a bad temper?
Being scolded by Jia Huan, the four children were immediately annoyed.
They stood up suddenly, pointed at Jia Huan's nose and yelled, "Who do you think you are? How dare you humiliate us like this?"
"We entered the military camp to give your Jia family face, not to be insulted by you! I can't wait for whoever I love!"
"Hmph! Now that your Jia family has gained power, we couldn't reach it! If your Jia family can do it in the first grade, don't blame us for doing it in the fifteenth grade!"
"Brothers, please go away and don't suffer from his cruelty here!"
These four guys were so arrogant that Jia Huan's soldiers were immediately unhappy.
Under the leadership of Liu Xianglian, they surrounded them with a roar.
Just when they were about to take action, Jia Huan said, "Stop! Since they can't bear the pain, just leave."
"This general said that the Red Flame Army does not raise waste. Centurion Liu, go find four cars and send them back."
Seeing that they were about to be beaten, these four people suddenly became frightened.
They said angrily: "Whoever wants you to send us away, we will leave on our own! Brothers, let's all leave. Whoever wants to be treated like a bird here, let him suffer."
These four people fully thought that the remaining twelve people would leave with him.
Unexpectedly, no one of the other twelve people followed him.
This made the four people who were leaving extremely unhappy, and they had to walk out of the military camp on their own.
Jia Huan looked at the twelve people who stayed and felt a little expectant.
The twelve people left behind are not completely uncultivated.
Maybe even if they train to the end, they may not be as good as ordinary soldiers.
However, not all of the military is combat arms, there are also some logistics and supply personnel.
If they can really calm down, it's not that they can't be kept.
However, Jia Huan predicted that not all of these twelve people might be able to stay until the end, but it would be good to keep half of them.
Next, with 10,000 recruits watching, the twelve noble disciples who stayed behind struggled to complete the rest of the training.
In the following daily training, these twelve people will be the focus of Jia Huan's care.
Of course, it was also because, among all the recruits, they were the only twelve who had the worst physical fitness, so they could not keep up with the pace of the large army.
But this is a benefit to Jia Huan.
Because these twelve people are exactly the chickens he needs to establish his power. Kill the chicken and scare the monkey, they happen to be the perfect match.
In three days, ten thousand recruits could not help but feel sympathy for these twelve noble men.
As for these twelve people, their faces gradually lost their smiles and even their interest in life. They had become numb from the torture and humiliation.
But they are still struggling.
…
In Rongqing Hall of Rongguo Mansion, Mrs. Wang was talking to Jia Mu.
In recent years, although Mrs. Wang went to Rongqing Hall every day to spend the evening and morning, the number of visits to Rongqing Hall when she had nothing to do was becoming less and less.
Firstly, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law don't deal with each other at all, and secondly, Mrs. Wang has really lost face recently.
First, they emptied the Rongguo Mansion's warehouse and lent all the money to the Prince's Mansion, but none of it has been returned yet.
Now that the Wang family has caused trouble again, it becomes even more difficult to afford it.
Secondly, he persuaded the empress in the palace to grant a marriage, which not only angered Brother Huan of the East Mansion, but also caused Brother Huan to break off relations with the West Mansion.
Moreover, the virtuous concubine also lost her divine favor.
The third is that the Wang family used the Jia family's connections again, but in the end it went bad, making Jia's mother even more disinclined to see the Wang family.
There were many rumors spread among the servants in the house. How could Mrs. Wang have the nerve to lean against Jia Mu?
In addition, Aunt Zhao, the second wife, likes to hang out in front of Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng, the aunt and nephew every day.
In house fights, either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind.
Now that Mrs. Wang is weak, Aunt Zhao, the second wife who worked with her, is getting up.
Now the servants in Rongguo Mansion are rushing to fawn over Aunt Zhao.
Faintly, the reputation of Aunt Zhao, the second wife, has almost surpassed that of Mrs. Wang, the first wife.
This made Mrs. Wang's teeth itch with hatred, and her silver teeth were almost broken. She rarely even went out.
It is rare to come to Rongqing Hall now when it is not late at night.
Jia Mu no longer wants to see her. After all, she is the mother-in-law of the empress and Baoyu, so she still needs to be given some dignity.
Jia Mu knew that there must be a reason for her coming, so she calmly asked her to sit down.
After saying a few words, Mrs. Wang revealed her intention.
"The old lady didn't know that this time I went to the Beijing County Prince's Mansion to congratulate me. During the dinner, the two ladies in charge of the Duke of Jiguo and the Duke of Zhiguo were mourned."
After hearing this, Jia's mother couldn't help but asked curiously: "Although our family is not close to their family, there is no enmity between them. What are they doing to ridicule you innocently?"
Mrs. Wang couldn't help but said: "My wife was also curious, and she found out later. It turns out that all of them have children who were sent to the Red Flame Army of Dongfu Huan Geer."
"I didn't expect that Brother Huan not only gave them no preferential treatment, but also treated them with extreme insults. He called them maggots and trash, insulted them, and told them to get out of the Red Flame Army as soon as possible."
"How could the children of these two families bear such an insult, and they left the Red Flame Army as expected. No wonder they are resentful. Brother Huan may have offended all these relatives and friends this time."
Hearing this, Mother Jia frowned and suddenly asked: "Of these families, are they the only ones who send their children into the army? What about the other families? Their children were also scolded away by Brother Huan?"
Mrs. Wang couldn't help but said coquettishly: "It's true that only the children of these two families have withdrawn from the Red Flame Army. But the other children may not stay long. Brother Huan will not cause trouble for my Jia family by doing this. .”
Mother Jia couldn't help but sneered: "What kind of trouble has this caused? All families have their children sent to the Red Flame Army, why are only their children scolded and run away? Don't they find the reason in themselves?"
If Jia Huan were here and heard Jia Mu's words, he would definitely call him a good guy.
This is very similar to the argument of later generations that if you put aside the facts, you are not wrong?
Jia Mu then said: "Everything is going well in the family. The whole family should help each other. Even if there is a small festival, you can't help outsiders deal with your own family, right? The bones are broken but the tendons are still connected! How can outsiders be better than the family members?" Can we get closer?"
What Jia Mu said was so heartbreaking that Mrs. Wang couldn't sit still and stood up in panic.
In fact, Jia Mu was not such a reasonable person originally. It can only be said that she now dislikes Mrs. Wang very much.
At this time, Wang Xifeng, who was watching the theater happily beside her, had to help Mrs. Wang out and said:
"What the old lady said is absolutely true. Outsiders are not as trustworthy as your own family. I heard that Baoyu's exam results are out today. As long as he passes the exam, he can register for the provincial exam in two months."
"Baoyu has also worked hard in the past few years. This entrance is a sure win. He will be able to get the top score for his ancestors by next year."
"At that time, our ancestor will no longer be the ancestor we are now, but the old lord who has taught two grandsons who are number one!"
"Needless to say, in the capital city, even in the entire Great Xia, I can't find an old feudal lord who can compare with the old lady for a thousand years and eight hundred years!"
The exam Wang Xifeng mentioned was an internal screening exam within the Imperial College.
As long as you study in the Imperial College, you will be exempted from the scholar examination and can directly sign up for the provincial examination.
But this is conditional. You must pass the Imperial College screening examination before you are eligible to register for the provincial examination.
As for this screening test, the results will be known today.
No one in Rongguo Mansion thought that Jia Baoyu could pass the exam.
After all, this is just an internal screening examination of the Imperial College.
It would be fine to say that Jia Baoyu failed the rural examination.
Is there any reason to wait for a small internal screening test?
Among all the people in the house, only Jia Baoyu was not so confident in himself.
In other words, an extreme lack of confidence.
In the past two years, although he has been in the Imperial College, he has never really focused on studying?
He actually learned to skip classes and go out to eat, drink and listen to music when he had nothing to do.
In the past two years, Jiang Yuhan invited him to host many guests.
This allowed him to see Xiren often, but Jiang Yuhan had a very bad drinking ability and would get drunk every time he drank.
This gave him and Xiren a chance. The excitement brought by the wild cooperation made Jia Baoyu unable to stop.
Because he had not studied hard, Jia Baoyu naturally had no confidence in this exam.
Just hearing that the master had taken a special day off to wait for news at home, Jia Baoyu did not dare to stay in the mansion and remained in the Imperial College.
Let's say that in Rongqing Hall, Jia Mu was really happy after hearing Wang Xifeng's words.
What Mother Jia loves most is her precious grandson Jia Baoyu.
After two years of waiting, it is finally time to see Baoyu's future.
Jia Mu said happily: "You are a monkey who can talk and was born with a jade in your mouth. You are lucky. This time there is no reason to fail in the provincial examination."
"As for whether he can win the top prize, it doesn't matter. He doesn't have to work as hard as Brother Huan. By the way, Feng girl, go and order someone to see if Baoyu can pass it?"
Wang Xifeng stood up and said, "Yes, old lady, I'll go and see for myself right now."
With that said, Wang Xifeng really walked out.
But she didn't really go and take a look. Instead, she went to the front room to rest and hide away.
If you get the news, it will be passed on. Why bother her to see this? (End of chapter)
