He Shouxin and Gong Zhenhao's family members also participated in the test, and they all passed the test easily, and everyone was full of joy and went to the warehouse with joy to each other.

Several talented young scholars among the refugees also participated, and most of them were not fit enough. These full-mouthed scholars are also not diligent, and they have no distinction between grains and grains, and they have no intention of serving the country but have no way to take the imperial examination, and they are not capable of joining the army to kill the enemy, so they have no choice but to shake their heads and laugh and retreat.

Lin Xiao also felt very sorry when he learned about it.

In fact, he very much hoped that there would be some literate people in his army, and it was quite rare to find literate people in this era. However, he knew very well that what he wanted to build was a field army, and that he would definitely encounter a fierce battle in the near future, and that he must maintain a high degree of mobility in his troops. Therefore, he did not give the green light to let them go, but just asked Zhang Haifa to find them, recruit them to be gentlemen in the school hall with a high salary, and encourage them to work hard to educate the children of refugees and serve the country.

……

In less than a day, the recruitment work was successfully completed.

As a result, there were more than 6,000 young refugees who passed all the tests, and the 5,000 sets of military uniforms that Li Tao and his men had prepared in advance were not enough.

Lin Xiao frowned when he heard this, and habitually touched his nose and became silent.

It is a good thing that there are so many troops, but the logistical pressure brought about by so many people is also very great, and besides, there are only more than 10,000 young and strong people in total, and so many strong laborers are withdrawn at once, not to mention the impact on the manpower of repairing the city, it will also have an impact on the development of coastal defense in the future. In any case, the migrant workers at the wharves and in the mines need to be able-bodied.

At this point, it is impossible to overturn and start over, it seems that the only way to improve the difficulty in training is to eliminate another batch.

Fortunately, there are still a considerable number of refugees over the age of 25 who are in the prime of life, and these people are still steadily acting as the backbone of the construction of the city, and the impact is not too big in the short term, Lin Xiao smiled and silently excused himself.

That night, more than 6,000 recruits marched to the camp by the Taiping River for training.

Lin Xiao divided the more than 6,000 recruits into six brigades, each of which was divided into 10 squads, with special combat team members serving as military instructors.

In addition to Xiao Kaifeng and Zhu Yujia who are still in Hanoi, and Liu Xulei who leads the second company to guard Haiphong, the remaining six team members happen to serve as the captains and military instructors of the six brigades respectively:

Ding Shuai, the captain and instructor of the first team; the second team, Li Hanzhi; the third team, Xia Bomin; Fourth team Duan Zhenghong; Xu Tianshi, the fifth team; The sixth team is Zhang Chenfeng.

In addition, 60 military backbones were selected from the first company and the third platoon of the third company of the old port battalion to serve as the leaders of each squad and be responsible for daily specific training and life management.

Lin Xiao personally served as a political instructor.

……

The training content is divided into four phases.

The first stage is ideological and disciplinary education, which is personally responsible for political instructor Lin Xiao; The second stage is physical fitness and military posture queue training; the third stage is military technical and tactical training; The fourth stage is the military competition assessment stage.

The next morning, the training officially began.

The first stage of ideological discipline education took Lin Xiao only one day.

On the morning of the same day, all the recruits gathered in the university field, and Lin Xiao personally took the stage to give a lecture.

The content of the sermon is only four articles, four sentences.

The first is the goal of our righteous army: "Hard-working people, the sky does not pay, and three thousand Yuejia can swallow Wu!" ”。

Lin Xiao briefly talked about the domestic situation, pointing out that the Qing soldiers and Tartars were burning and killing adultery in the country, and the people of Li were in dire straits. No matter how bad the situation is, our dignified Chinese nation should have anti-riot righteous men who will go forward one after another to drive out the Tartars and restore our China, and vow not to give up until the goal is achieved.

Second, the combat style of our righteous army: "Fast as the wind, Xu like a forest, invaded like fire, and immobile like a mountain!" ”

"Although the number of our righteous army is small, its combat capability must be strong, and whether it is in good times or bad, we must move forward bravely, fight to the end, attack and charge, and be as stable as a mountain when defending our positions."

The third is the military soul of our righteous army: "Never give up, never give up!" ”。

"All the soldiers of our righteous army, never give up their goals in battle, and they must never die; Never abandon any of your comrades-in-arms, even if your comrades die, they must bring back their bodies together. ”

Fourth, the discipline of our righteous army: "The order is forbidden, and the autumn does not commit any crimes!" ”

For an army to win battles, tactics are more important than weapons, training is more important than tactics, and discipline is more important than training.

According to the main content of the military song "Three Disciplines and Eight Attentions" adapted by himself, Lin Xiao explained what is the discipline of the army in three points: all actions are subject to command; All seizures shall be returned to the public; He did not take a single needle and thread from the people.

Finally, Lin Xiao read out the strict military discipline - "Seven Killings Order":

"Whoever does not listen to orders, kill!

Escapees, kill!

Whoever captives the people, kill!

J Y Women, Kill!

Forced buyers and strong sellers, kill!

Gather a crowd of mutineers, kill!

Whoever hides his belongings, kill! ”

Troubled times must be re-enacted! Not being strict is not enough to stand up!

In today's chaotic domestic situation, warlords and ruffians from all walks of life are changing their tricks to harm the people, basically the soldiers and bandits are a family, Lin Xiao can't let these children be infected, and he can't tolerate them degenerate into new warlords in the future, he must let them get out of the mud without staining, and always maintain the true character of the soldiers.

In order to build this team into a real people's soldier with a difference, then at the beginning of the army, it is necessary to restrain them with iron discipline.

Hearing the final "Seven Kills Order", more than 6,000 recruits in the audience were silent, walking on thin ice!

Even the veterans of the old port camp present saw Lin Xiao with such a hideous face for the first time, and they were all awe-inspiring, and secretly admonished themselves with sincere fear.

……

In the afternoon of the same day, each team communicated in groups, taught and sang military songs, and continued to learn and digest the spirit of the lecture.

On the third day, the military training officially began, and the specific steps and methods did not need to be emphasized by Lin Xiao again, but Lin Xiao took care of the captains in private, this time to train to stricter standards, and the final assessment standards may be improved, and eventually there will be at least two to three percent of the elimination rate.

Early in the morning, when the recruits who heard the assembly call ran out of the barracks in a hurry to prepare for the whole team, they heard the neat slogans of "one-two-one, one-two-one" and "one-two-three-four" coming from the colonel's field.

I saw a neat team stepping on the steps of thousands of people, shouting slogans and running, I don't know how many laps I have run, but I saw that the green military short-sleeved underwear worn by the soldiers on their upper bodies had already been soaked, but the soldiers were full of energy and the slogans were loud.

The group of recruits standing in the middle of the playground, looking at the upright posture of these big brothers, and the eyes that looked at everything, immediately felt a powerful aura coming, and they were even more uneasy, and they didn't dare to come out.

It seems that the cruel and difficult three-month training is unpredictable, and it is very difficult to endure......
