Early the next morning, before the sky was fully light, and all the newly recruited young men were still asleep, they were awakened by a hurried sound of horns, and then to the roar of dozens of escort young men, everyone was driven out of the house and began to line up in the open space in the center of the camp.

A thousand newly recruited young men had just lined up, and under the gaze of everyone, they brought the chief Gao Ran over with a team of escort team young men, and after his eyes swept over everyone, he walked to the front of the team.

Then he shouted to everyone: "I am your boss, Gao Ran!" Starting today, I will be practicing you rigorously! If you want to pay money and live a good life for your family, then you must work hard and never slack off! Otherwise, if anyone is unqualified, then Lao Tzu will leave! ”

Liu Youfu, Liu Youcai, Zhou Zongsheng, and Chang Hongdao listened silently, and a voice surged in their hearts: "It seems that there is something wrong!" ”

Sure enough, a few people immediately heard the general Gao Ran say loudly: "I am extremely strict with your drills, and the exercises are always good: sweat more in peacetime, and bleed less in wartime!" You have to keep in mind one sentence, and that is: the most comfortable day was yesterday! From now on, your daily drills will be heavier and stricter than the previous day! ”

After finishing speaking, the chief Gao Ran ordered all of them to start drilling, and all the 1,000 newly recruited young men were temporarily divided into ten teams, each team of 100 people, and each team of young men was led by ten escort team leaders.

In the beginning, the drills for these new recruits were all about physical fitness.

For example, weight-bearing long-distance running, rock-throwing locks, weightlifting, carrying logs, etc., various projects take turns and are full of tricks, such as sit-ups, push-ups, squats, etc.

In the first ten days of the exercise, everyone had a very hard time, and finally the day's drill project was over, and all the newly recruited young men had no time to rest, so they were driven to the bathhouse by the escort team with whips and sticks to take a bath and rub their backs, and everyone had to soak their feet in hot water.

Everyone must take a shower and change their clothes after the exercise, otherwise they will not be able to rest or eat! In this way, everyone complained, as if taking a bath was more torturous than running drills.

Moreover, at night, all the newly recruited young men could not rest, and were required to recite alive a large number of "sanitary regulations", "work and rest regulations", "combat manuals", and so on.

Newly recruited young men have to issue more than a dozen orders and disciplines every day, and the young men of the escort team have to conduct spot checks every day, every day, without exception.

In the convoy camp, twenty newly recruited young men lived in one room, and if one person in each room did not memorize word for word, the twenty people in the whole room were punished to run in the open space of the camp and practice for additional meals.

Liu Youfu, Liu Youcai, Zhou Zongsheng, Chang Hongdao and others never dreamed that after they joined the Yushan Guard, even when they would go to bed, when they would get up and freshen up, how to go out in line, how many people could go to the toilet together, how long it would take to eat, and so on.

"Oh my God! Even the emperor's own soldiers don't have so many rules! ”

After Liu Youcai finished a day's drill, he lay on the bed and wailed from the bottom of his heart, and he was immediately heard by the escort Qingzhuang who passed by the window to check the bed.

"All of you, a hundred push-ups, a hundred sit-ups each! Right away! The young man of the guard slammed the door with the stick in his hand, shouting so loudly that it almost broke everyone's ears.

Twenty people, including Liu Youcai and Liu Youfu, didn't dare to slack off, and they didn't even bother to wear their uniforms, so they immediately ran out of the room and began to be punished. Liu Youcai's face turned even redder, and he struggled to do push-ups under everyone's angry gaze, and he didn't dare to complain anymore.

At this time, Liu Youcai was almost certain in his heart that if it weren't for the three meals a day for the escort team to feed and drink enough, and sent out a lot of fresh equipment, he dared to guarantee that with a shout, the newly recruited young men in the entire camp would be able to follow suit!

After all, even the prisoners of the imperial court have not been subjected to so many rules, let alone that everyone is not a prisoner!

However, when Liu Youcai and the others returned to the room after being punished, and saw the fresh items and uniforms on the cabinet, everyone realized that they were not treated as prisoners, but were just trained too hard by the young men of those escorts.

After the drill began, in addition to the uniforms and some bits and pieces that were distributed when they entered the camp, the Yushan Guards issued some fresh items to these newly recruited young men:

Soft cotton towels aside, there is also a "toothbrush" made of willow wood tied with bristles, and what kind of paste is added with good green salt to brush your teeth. When Liu Youcai and Liu Youfu saw it, they felt that the Yushan Guards were simply tyrannical, and Zhou Zongsheng and Chang Hongdao were also dripping blood in their hearts when they used it every day, and they were distressed, and they hated to have to rinse their mouths and swallow these green salts directly!

In addition, each of the 1,000 newly recruited young men received brand-new cotton underwear and socks, and each person had a change of gray and black cotton shorts to wear when they were not practicing, as well as thick-soled cloth shoes and legging socks that only the wealthy could afford.

What's even more exciting is the wide belt around everyone's waist, hanging the coat and some other bits and pieces on the belt according to the requirements, not to mention how spirited, it turns out that those who did not participate in the escort team are together, and almost all the newly recruited young people have a bit of a clean appearance.

And these clothes and bits and pieces are the masterpieces of Guo Muying's quilt factory. Of course, the patterns of these items and clothes are all from Liu Juntao.

In addition, the three meals a day in the escort camp also faintly made Liu Youfu and others feel more and more wrong:

Every morning, there is a breakfast, rice porridge and white flour cakes, and at noon and evening, there are vegetables and meat, steamed buns, and rice are all-you-can-eat.

After eating these days, not only did the faces of those men from stove households show a trace of blood, but even the faces of those prisoners of the Liu family were full of red. Everyone is radiant!

As a result, everyone's hearts began to mumble, especially some of the original prisoners of the Liu family even said directly in the crowd that the escort team gave this is the pig-killing rice, and they should be prepared to send them to death after everyone has finished practicing, and to fight with the Chen family, so that Liu Juntao can lay a foundation!

This statement spread quickly among the new recruits of young people, Liu Youfu and Liu Youcai brothers muttered every day, and the two were still thinking quietly when they slept at night, thinking that when the day really came, the two of them must not die together, and they must leave a root for their parents.

And Zhou Zongsheng and Chang Hongdao's hearts were also irritable, although the two didn't believe these rumors very much, but they couldn't help but listen to them a lot, and after hearing the lies a thousand times, they felt more and more like they were true!

Fortunately, the rumors in the camp did not last long, but after three or five days, the escort team got the news!

One morning, the drill for the new recruits did not start on time, and everyone was gathered in the open space in the center of the camp, and a thousand people watched as the three and four spread rumors and wanted to instigate everyone to make trouble together were tied up, and each of them received forty lashes in public.

In a few moments, the three of them were covered in blood, regardless of the wails they were, and the miserable voice silenced everyone.

"Brother Zhou, I know these three people, it seems that they are all young and strong from the original Liu family!"

Chang Hongdao whispered, the expression on his face full of fear.

"We don't care about others, as long as we practice honestly, don't do too much!"

Listening to Zhou Zongsheng's words, Chang Hongdao also nodded, obviously agreeing.

Although the brothers Liu Youfu and Liu Youcai on the side are also the young men of the original Liu family, they do not have the slightest sympathy for the three of them, and they have only one thought in their hearts, that is, to live well and make a career, it doesn't matter who is under the hands of whom.

In the hearts of the two Liu Youfu brothers, although the Yushan Guards trained themselves in a different way, they also gave themselves a good treatment that was much higher than that of ordinary people, they were warmly dressed, fed, and lived well, and they and their families still had money to take them, so they could arrange their families properly, what else was there to dissatisfaction with?

Several people were thinking about each other in their hearts, Gao Ran had already disposed of the three young men over there, and several escort team members walked over in stride, loosening the ropes on the three of them, and the three of them immediately collapsed on the ground, wailing in their mouths, looking unstoppable.

Gao Ran looked at the three of them, and said loudly with cold eyes: "The ancients, repay virtue with virtue, repay grievances with straightforwardness, my Yushan Guards gave you good food and clothing, and gave you silver to help your family, why don't you want to repay your kindness, but you want to take revenge?" ”

Gao Ran walked around as he spoke, stepped on the wooden platform in the open space with both feet, stepped on the wooden planks and kicked them around, and stepped this sentence into the hearts of Liu Youcai, Zhou Zongsheng and others word by word.

"Boss, we don't mean to get along with the escorts, we're just afraid." One of the three said weakly.

"Afraid? What are you afraid of! ”

"We are afraid that we will be pushed out to be cannon fodder in the future!"

Gao Ran asked angrily when he heard this: "The sun and the moon are clear!" In the words of Mr. Lian, God is watching everything in the world, you are ungrateful, and you repay virtue with grievances, you are not even afraid of God, what are you afraid of! ”

Gao Ran's momentum made the man's heart weak, and his mouth was even more speechless.

Gao Ran said coldly: "Either you are begging for a living in the reeds, or you are serving the Liu family, if I am not mistaken, many of you owe people's lives." You robbed and killed people, and Wang Fa didn't pay attention to it, what are you afraid of? ”

At this time, Gao Ran asked in a loud voice, while recalling the conversation that Liu Juntao had instructed him before.

"Remember! These young men are not good people, they are different from those young men in our Yushanji and surrounding villages. These newly recruited young men are afraid of fists and knives, and they are afraid of violence. They are only familiar with such powers, and when they become strong, they will only speak violently. Therefore, now we have to let these young people know that our strength is far above them, and let them know that only obedience can have a future! ”

Thinking of this, Gao Ran looked at the three men who were beaten all over his body, looked at the thousand young men in front of him, and said loudly: "God always keeps his eyes open, all of you must remember: if you have something, you have to pay, this is the iron law of God!" If you want to make a living under the guard of my Yushanji, you must obey the order and follow Mr. Lian to kill the Quartet! ”
