12 Out of the sea of suffering
"If you still want to live, then joining the Shenzhou Army is the only option."
Almost every bald head understands this sentence, and that is also their only way out, otherwise they will have to survive for six years in the bald team.
The life of the skinheads is really miserable. Sixteen hours of intense physical labor a day was really unbearable, and some people with weak wills committed suicide, while many more chose to join the Shenzhou Army, after all, there is still human dignity there.
Finally, looking forward to the stars and the moon, the captured Qing soldiers in the "Frog Jumping Operation", which had been working in the bald team for almost a year, ushered in another opportunity for the Shenzhou Army to recruit new soldiers, and this time the number of recruits was much larger, and 8,000 bald heads would be recruited.
On this day, the bald heads, tired from a day's work, lined up in a neat line to return to the barracks. There was a long queue of people in front of the cooking car, and an hour of eating time was the only precious leisure time they had every day. The composition of the skinhead team is now much more mixed than in the past, not only the captured Qing army, but also the criminals, pirates, robbers and so on sent by Wu Shengzhao.
Although the life of the bald team is hard and tiring, fortunately, the food is still full. And if you're still in the spirits, Shenzhou City also provides hot water twice a week for bathing.
Zhang Jie, the former commander-in-chief of Jiangkou Xiezhen of the Qing Army, dragged his tired body, ate quickly with a large plate of rice and food, and held a piece of paper in his other hand, on which the Shenzhou Army soldiers were shooting. There are small propaganda words on the side.
He looked very seriously. After nearly a year of life as a bald team, he now can't remember the confusion he felt when he faced the conscription for the first time. He can guarantee that if he meets his former colleagues in the battle now, if the other party does not surrender, he will not hesitate to shoot him.
Zhang Jie is not very tired today, he is working in the laundry room today, which is a rare rest time. Wash the blue coarse cloth overalls that were already soaked in sweat. Of course, it is not easy, the clothes of 50,000 people are changed from the inside to the outside every three days, and the work of washing clothes can be imagined. Fortunately, there are water-powered washing machines available, and for a hundred people, it is not as tiring as those who work outside.
"When you are not human, there is a chance to be a new person, and then you can experience the glory of being human."
He looked at the advertisement very carefully, for fear that he would reveal a little bit of the information contained on it.
"Admit that you have made mistakes, and God will give you a chance to make amends! Join the Shenzhou Army, fight for justice, freedom, and ideals, fight for him to protect the happy Shenzhou City, and fight for ...... Conditions: Anyone who has served five months in prison in a bald squad and is in good physical condition and under the age of 35 ......"
Zhang Jie obviously meets these criteria, but age is his only flaw. Slightly disappointed, he read down again.
"Exception: If you have served as an officerNote: The age may be relaxed to under 40 years of age, regardless of whether an officer of any army can be found to support it."
Looking at these, Zhang Jie's eyes moistened, and he shouted in his heart: "Opportunity, this is the opportunity...... ”
If he now remembers that when the Second Marine Division of the Shenzhou Army (Shi Lang's unit, now stationed in Wenzhou) came to recruit soldiers, the guerrilla general Zhou Zhicheng, the defender of the Qing Zhenhai Fort, Yu Zhiyuan, the guard general of the Beilun Fort of the Qing Dynasty, and the guerrilla general Niu Dingwen of Ningbo, all joined the Shenzhou Army, not to mention how much he regretted it.
Some time ago, they all wrote letters to tell about the current situation, and Zhou Zhicheng was even already the squad leader. However, now because there is no war, he is still waiting for the opportunity to participate in the war so that he can save enough points in advance to take the officer exam, and several other people have already served as squad leaders and deputy because of their experience as officers. The letter lamented that he was still serving hard labor in the bald squad.
Occasionally, the guards would give them a ten-minute break every few hours as they worked. During these ten minutes, he will talk to these bald people about "the truth of life" and "hope for the future". As a result, after staying in the skinhead team for a long time, all the skinheads are fully convinced that this Shenzhou City will eventually win the world, and other forces do not need to do unnecessary struggles at all, except for more casualties, there is no benefit, and these also give them hope to become human again.
In the early morning, the warm sun of the southern country shone on the generally bright bald head, and Zhang Jie tried to stand up straight. For this reason, Zhang Jie took a special shower last night and shaved to make himself look younger.
His mood was no different from that of other bald heads, and now he had only one mind, hoping that his experience would be appreciated by the officers who came to pick him. Then from now on, he will be a glorious soldier of the Shenzhou Army. And he firmly believes that as long as he is willing to work hard, then he will be able to get everything in the Shenzhou Army, and one day he will be qualified to lead a tiger and wolf army.
The rule of the Shenzhou Army's use of these captives is to first enter the new barracks for training, and after the training is completed, all of them are dispersed and distributed to various units. Officers with rich combat experience and who have passed the examination, as well as some soldiers with dismal performance, including squad leaders and snipers, will form a new core of army management.
In such a squad, at least three people are from veteran units with combat experience, and the remaining six are all new recruits. The newly formed unit then undergoes a three-month run-in training before it is ready to fight. It took at least eight months for such a new army to be formed and to participate in the battle, which means that the two newly formed divisions would take part in the battle, and I am afraid that it would not be until the middle of 1648.
"This city lord, I don't know what kind of madness he has! Assemble two divisions at once, equip! Where's the equipment? Huang Gu, who had a rare opportunity to lie down at the desk, asked himself puzzled, he cared about this matter entirely because of his own future.
This time, the Shenzhou Army's handiwork was obviously huge, not only the second and third divisions of the army were formed at the same time, but according to rumors, when Yue Xiaofei returned from Fusang, the first army of the Shenzhou Army might be formed. And now Huang Gu, the commander of the first division of the Shenzhou Army, is even more desperate to study, you must know that if he can't pass the post of corps commander, he will be embarrassed and thrown home.
For this reason, he not only took advantage of the low level of vigilance of each division of the Shenzhou Army and Army, but also invited his chief of staff, Dai Zhijun, Yue Xiaofei's senior brother, to be his personal teacher.
Dai Zhijun listened to Huang Gu's words, and replied in his mouth: "Go crazy! I think next year this lord will be crazy! It's big! ”
While the two were talking, Huang Gu's wife Zhao Xinyan personally brought fruits and drinks, and according to Huang Gu, she made a good cup of tea for Dai Zhijun.
"Mr. Dai, thank you for your hard work!"
Yes, in troubled times, who is not hard? Not only did the soldiers work hard, but the people suffered, and even if he became the emperor, his hair had to fall down one by one. Who is this man? Let's go to Shenzhou!
