Chapter 22: Leaving Jiangxi (4)

It was only less than a month after he came out that Wang Mingshan began to wonder if he had made the wrong choice. It is true that being the eldest son and eldest grandson at home will be subject to all kinds of indescribable constraints, and now that he is following the troops, the restraints will naturally be greatly reduced, but the daily life is really miserable.

As the young master of a large family, he not only wears straw shoes and sleeps on straw bunks, but also learns to weave straw shoes and sew clothes by himself. The army also taught Wang Mingshan and other new members all kinds of knowledge, not to tell poetry and books, not to speak the words of sages, all they talked about was how to march and how to pay attention to protecting the body. Although Wang Mingshan's academic qualifications for a new-style cultural education were recognized, Wei Ze's troops apparently did not treat him as a scholar.

Wang Mingshan, a young master from a large family, even if he was nineteen years old with the highest physical activity, and his physical strength and recovery ability were at their peak, he had never received a large amount of training. After marching every day, the clothes were wet and dry, and the calluses were worn on the feet, and the calluses were torn again. Not only does the cocoon hurt the core, but the muscles all over the body are also extremely sore.

Fortunately, he was assigned to Shen Xin's team, and seeing Shen Xin's appearance as if nothing had happened, Wang Mingshan couldn't help but vomit bitterness at Shen Xin.

After quietly listening to Wang Mingshan's complaints, Shen Xin only said one sentence, "There is only one thing you have to do now, follow!" ”

"I really can't walk!" Wang Mingshan replied with a bitter face.

"Then you just go and ask the instructor for training what to do?" Shen Xin gave Wang Mingshan a Jianyì.

Hearing this, Wang Mingshan hesitated a little, and he asked tentatively: "Will people scold me for being useless?" ”

Shen Xin was amused by this, and he smiled: "You look like this, do you still think you are very useful?" ”

If it weren't for Shen Xin being Wang Mingshan's old classmate, these words would definitely make Wang Mingshan angry. Even if he had enough trust in Shen Xin, Wang Mingshan felt that his face was almost unbearable, and he wanted to be angry at Shen Xin. According to the storyteller, in the history books he reads, the informers are all "corporals of courtesy", and they are particularly preferential treatment for readers. After more than two years of learning in the new-style school set up by Wei Ze, Wang Mingshan no longer dared to underestimate the Taiping Army under Wei Ze. Although they don't speak the words of saints, they are also real knowledge in mathematics, nature and other courses. But they are all literate readers, shouldn't they be more courteous to those who read the books of the sages? There were no palanquins in Weese's Taiping army, and all officers were either on foot or on horseback. Then at least give Wang Mingshan and them horses! What is it to march with ordinary people?

But the tingling pain in the broken cocoon on his feet and the soreness in his muscles made Wang Mingshan obediently choose to obey Shen Xin's Jianyi, and limped to the trainer to ask his own questions.

The trainer had a straight face and looked very stern, but he still quietly listened to Wang Mingshan's introduction to his physical condition. After checking Wang Mingshan's condition, and asking him where and how it hurts according to various places on his body, the trainer said: "You go to rest now, and come to report early tomorrow morning!" ”

Although he didn't know that the trainer was going to deal with it, Wang Mingshan was indeed tired. The young man was drowsy and returned to the bunk in the camp, Wang Mingshan wanted to say something after lying down, but he fell asleep before he could say anything.

Early the next morning, Wang Mingshan woke up and felt that his injuries and sore spots had improved a lot. He had breakfast and hurried to find the trainer. After arriving at the place, seventy or eighty young people who were about the same age as Wang Mingshan 6 continued to gather here. The trainer did not talk about how to solve the pain, but talked about the knowledge of physiological muscles, tendons, and bones in front of a few pictures.

This class lasted a whole day, and in addition to teaching, it also allowed these young people to experience the preservation of muscles through various movements. Finally, the trainer talked about the main points of walking. It was the first time for Wang Mingshan to listen to such a course, and it was the first time for them to receive such education and training after seeing the reactions of the young people around him.

It turns out that the main point of walking is the muscle force in front of the thighs, so that the thighs are raised, and the knees and calves are relaxed in the process. When the thigh falls, the muscles in the back of the thigh exert force, driving the calf, and finally the heel hits the ground first. If you follow the walking style described by the trainer, the blistered part of the forefoot is actually not very stressful, and the tired and sore knees are basically not strong.

In the eyes of the trainers, as well as the fighters do the demonstration of walking. Looking at the movements of these young people who were also tortured by the march, plus walking himself, Wang Mingshan's strength was blocked only at the knees. Although it was uncomfortable to learn a new way of walking, it was obviously much more comfortable than the original walk.

After they had finished this lesson, they left the group, and the trainer did not let them go. For the next three days, special warriors watched them march, correcting or even scolding them if they showed any incorrect walking posture. Wang Mingshan initially felt that he was greatly insulted, but by three days, the blisters on his feet had recovered most of the time because they were no longer stressed. At the same time, the degree of marching has been increased, and the consumption of the body in the march has also been greatly reduced. As everyone's ability to march improved, there were fewer and fewer things to be scolded for.

On the afternoon of the third day, Wang Mingshan's group of young men who had been trained to march caught up with the group that had left a day earlier and returned to their original ranks.

At this time, Wang Mingshan was very emotional, and he said to Shen Xin confidently: "I originally listened to Handan to learn to walk, but I couldn't learn to walk, and in the end, I forgot the original way of walking, and finally I could only crawl home." I thought it was a joke, but now I look at it, walking is also a science, and it's right to go to Handan, but it's wrong to not insist on learning the knowledge of walking. The ancients were honest and did not deceive me! ”

Shen Xin nodded and replied: "It has long been said in the "Three Character Classic" that if you don't learn, you will be broken. Either you learn to the end, or you don't start that. Don't try. ”

Wang Mingshan nodded yes, "Handan toddler, it is indeed that person who gave up halfway......

"I'm not talking about Handan toddlers, I'm talking about you, don't want to run if you can't stand it. King Qi's troops are very different from others, if you can't do specific things well, people won't scold you, won't call you stupid, and won't say that you are born bad. King Qi's troops think that you can't do it because you haven't done it or learned it, so you can't do it well. In order for you to be able to do what you need to do, people have to teach you what to do. If you don't ask or learn something you don't understand, you just feel that you can't hold it anymore, so you want to run. That's not because King Qi's troops have a problem, it's because he has a problem! ”

Wang Mingshan still couldn't accept Shen Xin's criticism, but reality proved that Shen Xin didn't say the wrong thing, Wang Mingshan replied in a low voice with a red face, "I know!" ”

After Wang Mingshan's unit arrived in Xuancheng, it was immediately incorporated into the new system. The government department was established in the Guangfu Governor's Mansion, and former government temporary workers like Shen Xin were incorporated into the government department as trainees along with educated followers such as Wang Mingshan. Cadets are integrated into the army and are engaged in the most basic logistics and clerical work. Shen Xin had experience as a temporary worker and was rated as a second lieutenant. Wang Mingshan had no experience in the system, safety regulations, and became the most basic private.

Wang Mingshan's heart was unbalanced again, and he asked Shen Xin what Wei Ze meant by such a disposition. Shen Xin's answer was similar to before, "Don't ask anything, follow along!" ”

"Where is this going?!" Wang Mingshan was very unhappy with this answer.

Shen Xin replied calmly: "At the mobilization meeting, it was already explained that this time I would go to Guangzhou. ”

Wang Mingshan said angrily: "The mobilization meeting said that the Heavenly King Hong Xiu has no way, but it does not mean that the land is divided equally!" So the troops must first take Guangzhou! But you and I were assigned to the logistics department, and we carried things all day. Maybe there's a war! We're going to fight Guangzhou! ”

Shen Xin looked at Wang Mingshan's angry appearance, and was simply amused. "Haha! Mingshan, the troops are going to fight Guangzhou! But if we can't even go to Guangzhou City, we won't be able to attack Guangzhou City at all. What are you anxious about? ”

Regarding such a calm statement, Wang Mingshan finally said what was in his heart, "Shen Xin, I originally thought that I would wait for the scholars to follow the ...... of King Qi."

"I used to be called King Qi, but now I am King Qi and we are no longer from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Comrade Wei Ze is the Governor of the Governor's Mansion. We're going to call it Victor! Shen Xin corrected.

"Alright! Vetudoo! "Wang Mingshan was very unhappy that Shen Xin was so nitpicky, and he was quite unhappy when he spoke." We should have advised Governor Wittus on his affairs. Now he is assigned to the logistics unit as a soldier, what is this? Victor clearly looks down on us! ”

After hearing this, Shen Xin frowned and said, "Wei Dudu looks down on us? Are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid for me? ”

"Then what do you say Victor is arranging us for?" Wang Mingshan made up his mind to distinguish things clearly with Shen Xin.

Facing Wang Mingshan, who had a bad attitude, Shen Xin was also very unhappy and said: "When Wei Dudu had a meeting, he told us that there was nothing wrong with dividing the land equally, even if we didn't follow the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, this matter of dividing the land equally must be done!" If he hadn't really taken us seriously, he wouldn't have said that to us! ”

Wang Mingshan really couldn't see how Wei Ze valued himself, and after hearing this, he still had a dissatisfied expression on his face.

Shen Xin continued: "When I was a temporary worker, I was engaged in an errand of paying taxes for food in Anhui. After determining how much land there is, and determining who owns the land, we can start collecting taxes, and we can determine how much tax can be collected on different levels of land according to the policy, and how to do tax exemption for military dependents! Where will the collected taxes be spent? Most of it was spent on the supply of troops. We are now under the government's subordinates, not soldiers. We are now the people of the political department! After understanding the logistics, we knew what the troops needed on weekdays, and when we got to the localities, we knew how to hand over the food supply with the troops! Mingshan! This is the pre-training for being a magistrate! ”

Wang Mingshan understood Shen Xin's words, but he didn't agree with Shen Xin's point of view at all, "Then he just appoints us as officials, why bother so much." This is clearly not important to us! ”

Shen Xin frowned tightly, and said sternly: "Let you be an official now?" Do you know how dark those people down there are? You can be killed by them now! You haven't seen it, you don't know! I'll tell you! I have seen more than a dozen times that a village has levied a hundred stone of grain, and after four transports, the army has only eighty stone. If you are in charge of this, the army asks you, where did the twenty stone grain go! You know what? ”

Wang Mingshan was stunned by what he said, he thought for a moment, he didn't know how to answer, and finally he asked in surprise: "Does anyone dare to steal military rations?" ”

"Humph!" Shen Xin sneered, "The army doesn't care how you manage the food, that's your business!" The troops just ask you for food. If you lack twenty stone of food, it's your business that you can't get it. The troops are practicing military law, and twenty stone of grain will cut off the heads of many people! You don't know the doorway, you don't know how you were killed. I've not seen this happen once or twice, and I haven't died one or two! You want to be an official, but it's very likely that you lost your head after being cheated! ”

Wang Mingshan held back for a long time, and finally squeezed out a sentence, "...... This, the people are so bold! ”

Shen Xin was amused by Wang Mingshan's angry appearance again, he said with a smile: "I sue you, it is never the people below who dare to lose food, the people have really paid enough food, and those who dare to mess around are those who are low." Wei Dudu asked us to start from below, and that was really for our good! Mingshan, you are honest and obedient, follow along! That's right! ”
