On the second day of June, Shenlie Mountain between the inner city and the outer city of Nanjing is lush and lush with trees.

At the southern foot of Shenlie Mountain, in a large clearing shaded by trees, there are more than 300 people practicing here.

This is not their first day here, they have been here almost every day since two months ago.

Now, the team is running collectively.

The summer is hot, and everyone is sweating like rain.

However, each and every one of them was in good spirits.

In this team, there are Yu Yufeng, Chu Yuan, Liu Jifang, and 300 nurses.

In addition, there is a special person, that is, Guo Wendong, the owner of these people.

In the past two months, Guo Wendong has occasionally gone out of the city, either to train with the nurses, or to inspect agricultural planting and warehouse construction.

More than 300 people were running in a neat line, running clockwise round and round in the open space. As the captain, Yu Yufeng led the team to run, located in the upper right of the team, and Guo Wendong followed him.

For the distance of a circle, it was specifically measured with a tape measure, and a circle is 1002 meters.

This large open space with shade from trees makes it a good place to train.

In the daily physical training, a 5,000-meter run is done and five laps are run in the open field.

The morning is physical training and strength training, and the afternoon is combat and combat training.

"After five laps, walk."

With Yu Yufeng's shouting, the team that had finished running 5,000 meters switched from running to walking, and only stopped completely after walking 300 meters.

Guo Wendong was sweating profusely, panting, and his heartbeat was sharp.

Two months ago, he could only run two kilometres consistently. In the past two months, he has been exercising diligently every day, and his physical fitness has gradually improved, and he can finally barely run 5,000 meters.

This is just barely finished, Guo Wendong at this time, his brain is a little dizzy, this is a sign that he has reached the limit of physical fitness, if he runs again, he is afraid that he will faint.

After the walk, everyone sat down to rest.

Guo Wendong, Yu Yufeng, Chu Yuan, and Liu Jifang sat together in the open space.

Among the four, Guo Wendong's panting was the most obvious, Yu Yufeng's breathing was the most even, and Chu Yuan was almost the same.

Yu Yufeng said: "Young Master, by October, these three hundred people can be trained into an elite team, except for the weapon and armor factor, they will not be worse than the elite soldiers in the army. ”

This is a six-month training plan, and these 300 people will be the backbone of the armed forces in the future.

Guo Wendong nodded in affirmation and praised: "Well done!" ”

He looked at Chu Yuan and Liu Jifang again and asked, "How did you learn martial arts with Captain Yu at night?" ”

The two then showed excitement.

Chu Yuan replied: "Young Master, Captain Yu has carefully instructed his subordinates, and his subordinates have made great progress, much stronger than before. ”

Liu Jifang replied: "My subordinates thank you young master for giving me the opportunity, and thank you Captain Yu for your careful guidance." In the past, I could only win against one or two ordinary people, but now it's no problem for one person to fight five. ”

He used to gamble, and one of the main reasons was that he had nothing to do. He was determined to change his past mistakes, and made a military order, trained every day to make his body better and better, and also learned martial arts, which made him very energetic and completely let go of the idea of gambling.

Guo Wendong encouraged: "You train hard, learn the ability to kill the enemy, and you will be of great use in the future." ”

On the east side of the flat land, there are makeshift houses with smoke rising from the chimneys.

This is a cook sent by Guo Wendong, who is responsible for cooking for the nursing home every day.

Rice and meat were brought from the city, and vegetables were brought directly from vegetable fields outside the city.

After a while, the meal was ready, and the nurses worked together to set up a dozen large tables and hundreds of stools.

The food was served, and the food at each table was exactly the same, and everyone was treated equally.

The staple food is good rice, and the vegetables in the non-staple food make sure that there is enough oil, and there is meat at every meal.

Today, Guo Wendong came to inspect and dine together, and specially added dishes, including canned fish and Australian lamb.

The fragrant smell reached everyone's nose, and they were all greedy.

However, the discipline of the nursing home is very strict, and no one can eat without an order to eat, so everyone stands at the dining table.

Guo Wendong said loudly: "Brothers, it's time to eat!" ”

Immediately, the nurses picked up the bowls and sat down to eat with vegetables.

The 300 nurses were originally from poor families, most of them were authentic farmers, and for them, such meals were tantamount to delicacies from the mountains and seas, and everyone ate them with relish.

Even the usual food is much better than their previous food.

They have good food, and they can receive one or two or five dollars a month, and one person can support the whole family when he is a nurse.

Such a good day was given to them by the young master, and everyone was grateful to the young master.

During the meal, the people at each table chatted while eating.

"It's so happy to be a nursing home for the young master! I'll be able to save enough money for a wife in no time! ”

"I heard that the monthly salary of the Daming border army is also a few dollars of silver, but it is often deducted by the officers, and the food is not as good as ours."

"The thieves are strong, and the Qing army has entered the customs several times to loot, if we really come to Nanjing, we will all take up arms to fight."

"When we eat the young master's food, we should serve the young master! The life of the Ming border army is not as good as ours, and they have to fight hard with the Tartars! ”

"When we defend the young master, we also defend ourselves. He was also employed by the young master, planting cotton in the young master's field, and he also had silver every month. If the Tartar goes south and is crossed by him, not only will our good days be gone, but it is hard to say whether our lives can be saved! ”

…………

Guo Wendong sat at a table with the three of them, chatting while eating, not talking about work, talking about personal life, and contacting the three of them.

He said to Chu Yuan: "You should also start a family!" ”

During this period, if a man or a woman is not married after the age of seventeen or eighteen, it is a leftover man and a woman. Chu Yuan is twenty-one years old, and in the eyes of people in this era, if he doesn't get married quickly, he will be sorry for his ancestors.

Chu Yuan replied: "Young master, if you work here, you don't have to worry about not being able to marry a woman." ”

In modern times, finding a partner depends on your conditions, in addition to whether you are admitted to the show, lift people and other fame, the work unit is one of the conditions to measure the man.

Working in Guofu, the income is high, the welfare is good, and in the eyes of outsiders, it belongs to a very good work unit.

Immediately, Chu Yuan said again: "I already have a girl I like, but I don't know if she is willing to marry me." ”

Liu Jifang next to him asked curiously, who is this woman.

I only heard Chu Yuan say: "It's the maid Xiaobao of Miss Bian of Wangjing Tower." ”

It turned out to be that Xiaobao, Guo Wendong said briskly: "I'll be this matchmaker, looking for an opportunity to ask Xiaobao what he means." ”

Chu Yuan hurriedly thanked him.

After everyone was full, the cooks cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks.

Guo Wendong was leaving, and he was going to inspect the agricultural situation outside the city.

All the staff were gathered, and the team was neat and orderly.

Yu Yufeng shouted: "What is our slogan? ”

Three hundred people shouted in unison: "Eat the young master's meal and serve the young master!" ”

The sound resounded in the sky, the birds in the forest were startled, and the rats on the ground were frightened into burrows.

This is the slogan that the nursing home has to shout every day when it is assembled and before the dissolution of the training in the evening.
