As early as mid-March, after the People's Army newly occupied the territory of the four provinces, the People's Army entered the mode of conscription and expansion, and relatively simple recruit training bases were established in various parts of Guangxi, Huguang, Jiangxi, and Fujian provinces.

Officers and veterans from the KPA combat units serve as instructors in a training base, and the recruits are given military training for three months.

There is such a recruit training base in the north of Anfu County, Ji'an City, Jiangxi Province, and more than 300 recruits are receiving military training and ideological education from instructors in this recruit training base.

The more than 300 recruits are mainly divided into three situations, one is recruited from the local area, and the other two are all prisoners of the Ming army, but one is in the Ming Dynasty's ruling area, and the other is in the People's Army's ruled area.

Even if there are only three sources of soldiers, it is quite complicated for the People's Army, especially the recruits who were captured by the Ming Army, and no one knows if there are people who hide their hatred for the People's Army in their hearts, waiting for it to break out one day.

Therefore, the ideological education of recruits is the top priority.

There are quite a few KPA veterans in the recruit training base, and more than 300 recruits are directly formed into a recruit battalion, with the recruits serving as deputy squad leaders at most, and the KPA veterans serving as squad leaders and above serving as officers.

When it got dark, there was no electric light, and candles could not be wasted at will, and the time was too early to sleep, so everyone sat together in shifts and talked.

It can be said that the recruits in the recruit training base are basically low-level ordinary people before joining the army, or low-level ordinary people under the rule of the Ming court.

It is often the veteran squad leader who starts at the beginning, talking about his previous things, the family is poor, renting the landlord's land for a living, working hard all year round, but it is very difficult to even eat enough, and he has to suffer from the landlord's bullying, and he was almost starved to death in a disaster year, in order to let the family survive, he sold his younger brothers and sisters, and used them as cattle and horses......

Listening to the squad leader's words, the recruits all felt a sense of identity, because the squad leader's experience was similar to theirs in many ways.

After talking about those tragic experiences, the squad leader turned to the life scene of the arrival of the People's Army:

The People's Army drove away the government, raided the landlords' homes, arrested the landlords' dogs, surrounded and exterminated all the bandits and bandits in the mountains, and distributed land to all the common people, even children.

Listening to the squad leader's words, the recruits felt that this was not their dream life? As long as they have enough to eat and no one has bullied them, it is a good day for them, but under the rule of the People's Army, the squad leader's family easily ushered in such a good day.

After talking about the good life of his family, the squad leader talked about why he wanted to join the People's Army, it was the People's Army that made our family live a good life, the People's Army is the great benefactor of our family, the goal of the People's Army is to let all the poor people in the world live a good life, and I joined the People's Army to let more people live a good life with others.

The Ming Court is the enemy of our People's Army, if the Ming Court is not destroyed, our good life may be taken away by the Ming Court, and the hateful government and landlords will come back to bully us, we must work together to completely destroy the Ming Court, so that our good life can continue.

The squad leader's words made the recruits have many ideas in their minds, belonging to the local recruits, before joining the army, they divided the fields with their own eyes and simple families, and the simple people's army drove away the government and landlords, and when the autumn harvest came, the family would no longer be hungry, most of them joined the army in order to get more fields, but some of them joined the army with the intention of repaying their gratitude.

If there is only one son in the family, he will definitely not send his son to join the army, no matter how strong the people's army is, there will be casualties on the battlefield, and the only son dies, and the bloodline will be cut off.

These local soldiers have seen their families divide the land, and the recruits who came from the families of Ming army captives but are in the KPA-ruled areas are also imagining the scene of their families dividing the land, and they seem to have imagined the scene of their families happy to live a good life.

Only the recruits whose hometown is in the Ming ruling area, with various expressions on their faces, they are eager for their families to live a good life, but their families are still in the Ming ruling area, and they are still living a hungry and full life, and now how they want the People's Army to destroy the Ming court as soon as possible and let their families live a good life.

Compared with the chat-style ideological education of veteran squad leaders, the instructors and political commissars of the recruit training base belong to a broader kind of ideological education for recruits, and they prefer to use the People's Army and the Ming Court as the background to talk about the benefits of the People's Army's destruction of the Ming Court to the poor people, and they will also explain some history, all kinds of peasant uprisings in history due to the inaction of the imperial court.

It's just that most of the recruits don't know a single big word, and they can't understand the big truths, or the ideological education of the veteran squad leaders is more useful, and the rank gap between the squad leader and the recruits is not large, everyone can call them brothers, and the level of instructors and political commissars is much higher, no matter how "close to the people", the recruits will also consciously think that this is a big official, and they should be respected.

The ideological education of recruits is carried out most of the time at night, and it is possible to carry out ideological education even when military training cannot be carried out on rainy days, and it is basically military training during the day.

The recruits who were captured by the Ming army will feel very strange about the military training of the people's army, the Ming army has no recruit training at all, and they can simply line up and know a few swords and guns.

The military training on the KPA side attaches great importance to queue training and marching training, which can make the soldiers obey the command, and the marching training can increase the physical endurance of the soldiers, even if they can't fight, they can run away, and they can also show great effect when chasing the enemy.

"Sweat more in training, shed less blood in wartime." This is the longest sentence on the lips of the veterans, and they also tell the recruits that this is what the Metropolitan Governor said.

Basically, in the minds of veterans, the words of the Metropolitan Governor have become the truth, after all, the good life of the family is brought by the Metropolitan Governor.
