For Zheng Dali and Wei Xiaojiu, everything seemed very new when they first arrived at the barracks.
Except, of course, for the collective life of Chase Shop.
That's how they lived when they were working on the docks, sniffing each other's feet and falling asleep, so they couldn't have adapted to sleeping when they came to the barracks.
What impressed them the most was the food in the barracks.
The fragrant white rice is a whole bowl, not the kind of empty and empty, but tightly pressed and a little sharp.
This made Zheng Dali and Wei Xiaojiu very happy.
They are all half-grown children who starved to death of Lao Tzu, but it is a pity that there is no Lao Tzu to let them eat, so they can only enter the barracks to eat the imperial grain.
It's just that they didn't expect the imperial grain to be so comfortable.
There is not only white rice, but also vegetables and meat, which is much better than when working at the docks.
At that time, I was tired and tired and worked hard to earn two dollars a day, so I was naturally reluctant to eat too well.
I can barely eat half full, and I am often hungry for a full meal. Think about it, it's really not a human life.
But now it's okay, at least I don't have to worry about food anymore.
Of course, the most impressive thing about the barracks is the rules.
When you go out, you must report and listen to the unified command when you take a bath and eat.
Even going to the toilet has to be reported.
Speaking of going to the toilet, the two were very uncomfortable at first.
The wharf is generally solved by a random dirt or corner, and there is a special toilet in the barracks, which must be solved in the toilet.
There were many people in the barracks, and sometimes they had to queue up, so anxious that Wei Xiaojiu and Zheng Dali broke out in a cold sweat.
So much so that the two of them developed the habit of going to convenience early in the morning, so that at least they would not make too much embarrassing trouble.
And taking a bath is also something that the two of them can't accept at first.
When they were at the dock, they took a bath half a month or even once a month. The way to take a bath is also very simple, jump into the river and swim to take a swim.
And in the barracks there are especially strict rules about bathing.
Military discipline strictly stipulates that you must take a shower every three days.
There are special bathhouses in the barracks, and baths are in bathhouses.
The soldiers rubbed each other in pairs, and the mud could be piled up into a hill.
At first, the two felt a little embarrassed, but after getting used to it, they felt too comfortable.
I really don't know how those days came by.
The barracks attaches great importance to hygiene, which is the most intuitive feeling of the two.
As for daily training, the two are not too uncomfortable.
Probably because their daily work is to carry goods from the dock, so they are more able to do coolies.
However, some of the other recruits complained of pain in their arms and legs, and they couldn't get out of bed the next day.
But this feeling of soreness faded over time, and most of the recruits adapted to the amount of training.
As for those who could not adapt, they were immediately dissuaded by the officers.
The Ming army does not raise idlers.
Daily training includes not only basic training such as array training, but also actual combat training with real knives and guns.
Zheng Dali and Wei Xiaojiu were very interested in the firearm shooting training.
Even if it's just an arquebus, it's rare, and I can't wait to sleep with a gun.
As for the multi-arm training that simulates the Qi family's army, it is also very attractive, and the companions cover each other, which is very exciting.
Zheng Dali and Wei Xiaojiu happened to be in a group, which made them very excited.
The two have played since they were young, and then worked together on the docks, which can be described as a very tacit understanding.
In the Qi Jiajun array exercise, one of the two was a rattan player and the other was a fire gunner, and they played seamlessly.
For this reason, Zhao Xu, the chief soldier of the Tiger Ben Army, specially commended them.
Mr. Zhao even told the story of his career in front of people.
At the beginning, Mr. Zhao was also a big soldier.
As a recruit, he followed the veterans to learn little by little, and finally became a general, a staff general, a guerrilla, and a deputy general.
After the Battle of Changsha, the Son of Heaven promoted Zhao Xu to the commander-in-chief of the Tiger Army.
A small grassroots soldier relied on his own efforts to finally counterattack and become the chief soldier of the first army, which is really inspiring.
Zheng Dali and Wei Xiaojiu listened with enthusiasm.
Obediently, they are the same grassroots as the chief soldier.
If the commander-in-chief can, so can they.
At this moment, Zheng Dali and Wei Xiaojiu planted a seed in their hearts, they must be excellent people like the chief soldier.
After lunch, the two went to watch the performance of the art team like the other recruits.
The repertoire of the performance is the thirteen righteous men of Siming Mountain.
This play mainly tells the story of the people of Simingshan who were unwilling to be humiliated after the tyranny of the Manchu Dynasty to implement the shaving order.
The protagonist's name is He Shouyi, and he is a man in his twenties.
As early as the fourth year of Yongli, he followed twelve friends into Siming Mountain to fight against the Qing Dynasty.
They slowly developed their power and absorbed many anti-Qing people. At its peak, there were more than 20,000 Ming troops in Siming Mountain.
But it was said that General He broke into the Tartar formation alone and slashed with a knife. The tartar was cut off, and an arm ached and screamed. He Zongbing ignored it, drew his knife and slashed at the head of another Tartar. said that it was too late, and then it was fast, only to see a white line fly up with his head and spurt out a column of blood. ”
The words are read out in the form of a narration.
Immediately afterwards, a general dressed in bright light armor walked out surrounded by everyone.
The recruits cheered.
"General He is mighty!"
"Mr. He is domineering!"
"A good boy who kills Tartars!"
"Kill, kill!"
These recruits used to live at the lowest level and were not less oppressed.
This time, when I saw He Shouyi killing the Tartars, I felt the same way, and I was happy.
"Those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away!"
When "He Shouyi" shouted this sentence, the eyes of the recruits moistened.
If you are not forced to have no way to live, who wants to keep this ugly braid.
The so-called head without hair, hair without head.
They also kept their braids in order to survive.
So when they see someone standing up and fighting, they can't calm down for a long time.
Although they could not be the first to stand up and resist the captives, they still had no problem fighting against their ancestors.
This is also the least insistence of a Han family.
"Kill the captives and repay the country!"
"Kill the captives and repay the country!"
Everyone shouted, and the atmosphere in the barracks was very warm.
After a play, the recruits are still in the situation of the play.
Zheng Dali clenched his fists and said, "I really regret that I only joined the army to resist the captives now." Tartars are really not human, and I want them to pay with blood. ”
"Yes, Brother Dali, we are all kind of men, but we can't be slaves to the country."
"Your Majesty is wise and martial, His Royal Highness the King of Jin is loyal to the country, as long as we follow Your Majesty and the King of Jin to work hard, we will definitely be able to expel the Tartars and restore the Ming Dynasty!"
"There is also the surname of the country, and there is also the general soldier!"
"For so many people with lofty ideals, why worry about the Ming Dynasty!"
"Kill the captives and repay the country!"
