Chapter 52: A Unique Drill (3)
After more than ten days of strict practice, Liu Youfu and Liu Youcai brothers finally got used to various rules of hygiene and rest, and the two were about to take a breath, but they didn't expect to wave their hands to the general manager, and more rules were pressed down, making everyone dizzy and wailing.
Seeing this, even Zhou Zongsheng and Chang Hongdao frowned.
In fact, these annoying rules are quite good, but what makes everyone the most unbearable is that Gao Ran, in accordance with Liu Juntao's order, specially invited more than a dozen teaching gentlemen from Huakou Town, and almost wiped out all the teaching gentlemen in Huakou Town.
Gao Ran stipulated that every night after the young and strong drill was over, these dozen or so teachers would give lessons to these 1,000 newly recruited young men in the open space of the camp, so that everyone could read and write!
"Isn't it just to be a countryman, how can you throw down so many rules? Even the elite soldiers of the imperial court will not be so tossed, and we must read and write! Isn't that embarrassing? ”
Liu Youfu looked at the teacher in front of him reading the books, he couldn't help but feel dizzy, and couldn't help but complain in a low voice, obviously very dissatisfied with continuing to stay up late to study after a long day's work.
The elder brother next to him, Liu Youcai, obviously agreed, but seeing that Gao Ran, the general manager, was patrolling over with a wooden stick, a pair of ruthless eyes kept looking around, and hurriedly whispered: "Shut up!" I didn't listen to what the senior said, if we don't know how to read, there will be more rules in the future, how do you memorize it? Parroting sentence by sentence? ”
As soon as the two of them talked about more rules, they immediately shivered for some reason.
"Liu Youcai! Liu Youfu! Whispering above the school, carrying a log and running around the field three times! ”
Gao Ran stared at Liu Youcai and Liu Youfu at a glance, and immediately shouted, and the brothers Liu Youcai and Liu Youfu in the crowd suddenly screamed, and the two walked to the side of the crowd dejectedly, struggled to carry a thick and heavy log, and jogged around the clearing.
The newly recruited young men around them were all silent when they saw it, and they all listened attentively to the trickling teachings of the teacher in front of them, and they didn't squint one by one, for fear of being picked out by Gao Ran again.
Gao Ran doesn't have Chen Ziping's thoughts, he is meticulous in his work on weekdays, and all the newly recruited young men in the camp secretly call him "King Gao Yan".
Even the paperwork left by the teaching gentleman, Gao Ran had to conduct spot checks from time to time, and if he found that anyone had not written well, Gao Ran would directly pull them outside and lie down in the muddy water for push-ups until he was tired and collapsed on the ground.
Time flies, and in the first half month of entering the camp, these 1,000 newly recruited young men basically only do physical exercises, and study and read and write at night.
In addition to studying, the rest of these physical training projects are basically like playing for men who work hard to make a living, scratching their heads are all kinds of rules.
Fortunately, with the guidance of the instructors such as Gao Ran, let everyone form a group of several people in each room, each of them memorized a class of rules, and then reminded others to help each other, and gradually became familiar with it.
After another half a month, the drills in the camp suddenly made Liu Youcai and Liu Youfu brothers feel like they had returned to their youth in a trance.
The chief Gao Ran and other instructors divided all the newly recruited young men into several groups and held various competitions, and everyone had a lot of fun, even men like Zhou Zongsheng and Chang Hongdao who were not smiling had smiles on their faces.
What mountaineering, swimming, camping treasure hunting, in Liu Juntao's mention, Gao Ran came up with a variety of activities, endless.
For the sake of rewards and face, all groups of young people are working hard. The age span of the 1,000 newly recruited young men ranged from 16 or 7 to their thirties, but there was no difference between the size of the group and the fact that in just one month, they felt that they had another home, and the brotherhood between them had increased a lot.
Unlike the original begging for a living in the reeds and under the Liu family, in the camp of the Yushan Guards, this is a big family with only brothers. Whether it is a drill or a competition, it all depends on the mutual support of brothers to complete, what status, what generation, what qualifications, all are left behind.
"It's really an unforgettable day, this is how we were trained at the beginning, our original escort team is young and strong, it's really unforgettable!"
Seeing that the young man who was fighting for the "tug-of-war" competition in full swing, Yan Hu, who returned to Yushan to collect grain and grass, said to Gao Ran.
Gao Ran also nodded again and again, although the training he had gone through was far less strict than that of Yan Hu and them, but it was enough to remember it for a lifetime.
Orthodox eight years, mid-August.
At this time, it is close to autumn, but the temperature is still high, and the scorching sun shines on the village in a heat wave.
And the "heat wave" was rolling in the camp of the Yushan Guards at this time, and everyone felt a little unusual.
After two months of training, the new recruits have shown initial results, not only everyone's physical fitness has been greatly improved, but also basic items such as queues and formations are also very proficient.
In the camp, a message suddenly spread among the young and strong: "I heard that President Lian ordered all the generals to mobilize urgently, as if they were going to fight Hanjiazhai in the east!" ”
"That's right! Right! I also heard that it seems that Yushan Yanchi contacted Hanjiazhai and wanted it to continue to distribute private salt for us, but Hanjiazhai wanted to climb up to Chen's house, beat all the men sent by Steward Liu (Liu Zi'an), and then hung them up outside the village. Poor brother was hanged alive like this! ”
A young man from the former Liu family also said angrily: "Those guys in Hanjiazhai should have been cleaned up a long time ago, they didn't have any rules for doing things before, they robbed people when they saw them, and they didn't even let go of the brothers who sold illicit salt together, it's just lawless!" ”
"This is a good opportunity for us to make meritorious contributions! After practicing for so long, now you can use those guys in Hanjiazhai to practice your hands! ”
Listening to the discussions of his companions, a fire also rose in the hearts of Liu Youcai and Liu Youfu brothers.
The two of them had enough hard days in the reeds before, and now they finally joined the Yushan Guard, although the training was harder, but they were well fed and warmly dressed, and such a good life was like heaven compared to before.
Now, if this news is true, it is a great opportunity for the two brothers to go to the next level!
So, Liu Youcai and Liu Youfu secretly made up their minds that if President Lian mobilized everyone to participate in the war, the two of them must move forward bravely and strive to make a great contribution!
And Zhou Zongsheng and Chang Hongdao are also secretly determined, the two of them are far-sighted people, and they have also made remarkable achievements in daily exercises, and now with this great opportunity, both of them are gearing up to make great contributions.
Yushan set, Guo family.
Guo Yongzhong, Zhang Baigui, and Gao Ran were staring at a rough map and discussing in a low voice, and they were all a little nervous in their hearts.
A few days ago, Liu Zi'an's subordinates sent to Hanjiazhai to contact and distribute illicit salt were unfortunately killed, and the owner of Hanjiazhai also shouted that he was hooked up with the Chen family, and he was not afraid of Yushanji.
After receiving the news, Liu Juntao did not hesitate at all, and immediately gave an order: "Destroy Hanjiazhai!" ”
As soon as this order was given, it meant that there was not much time left for Yushanji, and it was necessary to start a confrontation with the Chen family earlier than expected!
In order to find out the details of Hanjiazhai, Gao Ran sent people to investigate, and he could also get first-hand information: there are two or three hundred strong men and six or seven hundred women and children in Hanjiazhai.
Judging from the strength of Yushanji now, it is not a problem to lay down Hanjiazhai, and there is almost no suspense.
The only thing everyone is worried about is whether the Chen family will intervene, after all, looking at what Han Jiazhai is doing, there must be something to rely on!
"These bastards, if they don't want to make money, forget it, why are they still so arrogant! How many benefits the Chen family gave them! ”
Gao Ran said indignantly, while Guo Yongzhong and Zhang Baigui frowned, constantly exchanging opinions in a whisper.
Liu Juntao also thought about it and said: "Our foothold in Anshan Town is not stable, so Zhang Xiaojun and his general men must be stationed and cannot move; The Yushan Salt Pond is the cornucopia of our Yushan Collection, and Yan Hu's total people can't move; Huakou Town is too far away from Dong'e County, and it is necessary to beware of the gang of people and dogs in Hanjiazhai jumping over the wall to raid the past, so Chen Ziping's total people over there can't move! ”
After finishing speaking, everyone's faces became even more solemn.
Liu Juntao continued: "Although we have more than 1,000 people in our hands, they are scattered everywhere, not counting the men and horses that need to be drawn out to guard against the possible surprise attack of the Chen family, there are not many people and horses that can be used to attack Hanjiazhai!" I think this is also a reason why Hanjiazhai has no fear! ”
Speaking of this, Gao Ran suddenly said loudly: "Mr. Lian, let the newly recruited 1,000 young men participate in the battle!" In this battle, I will take these thousand brothers as the main attack! ”
"No!"
"No way!"
Guo Yongzhong and Zhang Baigui shouted almost in unison.
Immediately afterwards, Guo Yongzhong continued: "Although these young men have gone through two months of training, hundreds of them are the original Liu family's people, and Han Jiazhai is also a strong man under the original Liu family. ”
Zhang Baigui also said: "And this Qianqing has never seen blood, whether it can be relied on remains to be investigated!" ”
Gao Ran still had to argue a few points, but because Guo Yongzhong and Zhang Baigui were the elders of Yushanji, he didn't have much to say, so he looked at Liu Juntao.
Liu Juntao also thought for a while, then slammed the table and said loudly: "Fight!" Whether this thousand young people can be relied on or not, it will never be clear without actual combat! Playing this game, let this thousand young people quench it, for my use! ”
Gao Ran was overjoyed when he heard this, hugged his fists and said: "Lian is always wise!" ”
Guo Yongzhong and Zhang Baigui didn't insist anymore when they saw this, but both of them frowned, obviously still worried in their hearts.
Liu Juntao also understands the worries of Guo Yongzhong and the others, but this matter cannot be delayed, let alone ignored. Otherwise, the big and small heroes who distributed illegal salt under the Liu family would have different intentions, and they would not take Yushanji in their eyes!
Therefore, Liu Juntao said to Gao Ran: "Two days later, you will lead a thousand new recruits to set off to attack Hanjiazhai!" ”
Gao Ran clenched his fists and said, "Order!" ”
"Then what about the Chen family?"
Guo Yongzhong asked.
Liu Juntao said: "I personally led Gao Ran, the general man, to stay in Yushanji, the Chen family is too far away from us, and it is too late to come over, unless they and Han Jiazhai have a premeditated plan!" As long as the Chen family dares to come, I am sure to stop it here! After that, let's have another big battle! ”
