Zhu Cixiang originally thought that the outdoor training was a casual operation.
Unexpectedly, for a long period of time, the large army did not move at all and only stayed on campus.
However, several team captains disappeared and no one knew what they were doing.
Anyway, Zheng Chenggong is very busy, dispatching tasks constantly, and everyone is being spun around by his orders.
It was busy but not chaotic, and the team of thousands of people looked very orderly.
Before I knew it, it was already afternoon.
At this time the whole team was busy.
"Come and help, it's time to set up the tent."
Zhu Cixiang's head was filled with questions.
"Aren't you going to have outdoor training? Is it right here?"
Dahu laughed loudly and pulled him to move things together.
"How can we not make preliminary preparations for the actions of so many people? Otherwise, there will definitely be chaos. Others are busy, and we just need to wait with peace of mind. It will take at least three days before we can set off."
Zhu Cixiang was even more puzzled.
"In that case, it's better to go home."
Shi Lang's hands were busy, but he still gave an answer.
"Actually, outdoor training has started now. Setting up tents and staying in the wild are also part of the training. Seize the time and work hard, or we won't be able to help you in the future."
For Zhu Cixiang, setting up a tent is definitely a novel experience.
When they were in the Forbidden City, the eunuchs and maids also set up tents for them to give the princes a fresh experience.
But that's all done by others, they just need to live in it.
When he actually started working, Zhu Cixi found that the various processes were complicated and very tiring.
The tent they built was huge and required a lot of materials. Although it is not as exquisite as the small tent in the Forbidden City, it is more practical.
Zhu Cihong held the hammer and watched Dahu swing the sledgehammer, hammering it into the soil again and again. Think about it, if it were him, he would definitely not be able to handle it.
This made him feel a little inferior.
Because looking around, there were even some female students nearby setting up tents with their own hands. And he did it in a decent manner, no worse than the male students.
Before night falls, the campus playground is already covered with various tents, and all students will spend the night here tonight.
Just setting up a tent made Zhu Cixiang exhausted and didn't want to move.
But seeing others busy, he could only endure it. Following Shi Lang and Dahu, they walked around to the front.
It's even more exciting here.
I don’t know when rows of pots and stoves have been set up, and many students are divided into several groups and are busy. The aroma of the food wafts in the air, especially after work, which is even more mouth-watering.
Zhu Cixiang was shocked.
"Do we also need to cook the meals ourselves?"
Shi Lang gave him an iron plate.
"Since it's outdoor training, of course everything needs to be done by yourself."
The three of them pitched in to set up the tent, so there was no need for cooking. Mixed with other students, lined up, packed the food, and started enjoying dinner.
This allowed Zhu Cixi to learn a lot of things, including...
do the washing up.
This night, Zhu Cixiang slept very soundly.
The next day, at dawn, he was awakened by the rapid sound of a whistle.
He tried to get up in the middle of the lake, but all the bones in his body ached so much that he couldn't help but moan.
Shi Lang and Dahu on both sides moved quickly, urging while getting dressed.
"Hurry up, we only have ten minutes."
Seeing that he couldn't keep up with the speed, the two of them helped him tidy up like nannies.
Ten minutes later, thousands of teenagers had gathered on the playground.
Zheng Chenggong walked in front and began to give orders.
"Each team will start their morning run in order."
Thousands of people set off one after another without making any messy sounds, following the instructions and started running circles around the playground.
Zhu Cixiang was among them, feeling that life was worse than death.
"We...why are we working so hard?"
Shi Lang looked serious.
"Work harder now, train your body and learn skills more. Only then will you be able to use them on the battlefield in the future. Only then will you be able to protect yourself and make achievements."
Zhu Cixiang was so frightened that he trembled all over.
"Are we...are we also going to the battlefield?"
Dahu's expression was full of longing.
"The laws of the empire are clear. Those who have not served in the army are not allowed to be officials, enter the judicial system, or be ennobled. Tell me, can anyone who is ambitious not to join the army?"
Zhu Cixiang's inherent knowledge was strongly impacted.
"Since ancient times, there has been a distinction between civil and military affairs. Such a stipulation is really unreasonable."
Shi Lang chuckled.
"There has never been a distinction between civil and military affairs. Any dynasty that separates civil and military affairs has a bad end result. You only need to think about the battlefield performance of Yang Sichang, Lu Xiangsheng and others to understand."
】
At this moment, the team's speed suddenly accelerated.
In the morning light when the morning star has not yet disappeared, the footsteps of thousands of people are like a single sound. With extremely shocking power and the unique vitality of young people, he seems to be able to break through all obstacles in the world.
Zhu Cixiang was already very tired, and his body's reaction became even more intense after such an acceleration, making him unsteady in his steps.
But being trapped in the team and unable to stop, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow hard.
Not long after running, I felt my heart was about to pop out of my throat.
Looking at Shi Lang and Dahu next to them, as well as the other students nearby, they all looked normal and were breathing steadily.
Only then did Zhu Cixi feel how far behind he was.
Just when he was annoyed, the squad leader on one side suddenly shouted loudly.
"Therefore, the responsibility today does not lie with others, but with my young man..."
The cry was like a signal, and the entire team responded immediately.
These are a group of chicks, far less calm than adults. But their voices were loud and high-pitched, soaring into the sky with unparalleled vigor.
The morning mist was also pierced by their passion, and finally they won the incomparably bright sunrise.
Red light filled the ground, and the running footsteps of the teenagers became more determined.
"When the red sun rises, its path shines brightly; when a river emerges from its undercurrent, it plunges into the vast ocean; how beautiful I am, a Chinese young man, who is as old as the sky! How powerful I am, a Chinese young man, who has no boundaries with my country..."
Amidst the passionate recitation, Zhu Cihong felt that the blood all over his body was flowing faster for some reason.
The originally exhausted body was washed away by the accelerated blood, and it seemed as if it had been reborn, full of infinite power.
He held his head high, his eyes were clear, and his steps were extremely powerful.
It's so nice here!
A colorful life, high-spirited companions, and new things constantly appearing are far better than the lifeless Forbidden City.
Zhu Cixiang has gradually forgotten his past life and is full of expectations for the future.
