It is estimated that the soldiers have been standing for a long time, some soldiers have begun to dizzy and shake, not long after, only to hear a muffled sound of "tom", a soldier in the third battalion queue fell straight to the ground, two soldiers of the law enforcement team immediately rushed into the ranks, carried the fainted soldiers out of the queue, and sent them to the barracks behind the playground. After a while, another soldier fell to the ground with his legs weakened, and was quickly carried out, as usual. Immediately afterward, the soldiers fell one after another as if they had been infected with the plague, and many more began to sway, and the soldiers of the law enforcement team ran back and forth in the ranks, carrying the fainted soldiers out of the ranks, and the whole team began to look a little chaotic.

Wang Qiang felt that this kind of training was a bit too cruel, and was hesitating to intervene, only to hear Shang Dayong on the stage shouting: "Liu Changfu! You give me a line! The sound sounded like thunder over the silent playground, and everyone was shocked to wake up from the confusion, and they all stood up straight, and several soldiers who had fainted on the ground also got up and struggled to stand up. Liu Changfu, who was named, was the battalion officer of the third battalion, and when he heard the shout, he turned around and ran to the front of the parade platform, saluted Shang Dayong, and said: "The last general!" ”

Shang Dayong glanced down at Liu Changfu and asked, "Liu Changfu, do you know what is wrong?" ”

"What's wrong with the last general, please explain it to the general!" Liu Changfu said tepidly.

"Humph!" Shang Dayong sneered twice and said in a deep voice: "Today's drill, I have a word first, in the ranks, you must be upright, not allowed to move, violators of military law!" Thousands of officers and soldiers stood under the scorching sun for two hours, and no one dared to move even if they fainted, and the general was also wearing thick armor and did not move a bit, but as the commander of a battalion, you first slackened, and then took advantage of the chaos to wipe your sweat, which has violated military discipline! Do you know what happened now? ”

This Liu Changfu is in his thirties, he was originally a lieutenant in the military department, in his early years, because he was afraid of war, he refused to go to the front line, and spent money to trust the relationship before entering the military department as an errand, when Wang Qiang founded the special zone needed manpower, he felt that it was an opportunity to promote and make a fortune, so he took the initiative to follow Wang Qiang to the special zone, because he can speak well, can make sycophants, is familiar with people in the military department, can do things, very much appreciated by Wang Qiang, this time the formation of the militia regiment, gave him a battalion officer position. Liu Changfu only wanted to take the opportunity to be promoted and make a fortune when he went to the Special Administrative Region, and he was not interested in leading troops to fight at all, so he had been perfunctory and foolish in the training of recruits, and today Shang Dayong arranged to stand in a military posture under the scorching sun, he was disgusted in his heart, and he had been loose in front of the team, and someone fainted just now, and he took advantage of the chaos to secretly wipe a handful of sweat, he stood with his back to the parade platform, thinking that he could hide it from Shang Dayong, but he didn't want to be discovered by Shang Dayong, according to the military discipline announced by Shang Dayong in advance, his behavior will be punished with 20 military sticks. Liu Changfu relied on himself to be the "old man" of the military department, and he was close to Wang Qiang, and he didn't take Shang Dayong as a criminal officer in his eyes, but now seeing that Shang Dayong actually took the knife with himself, he was ruthless in his heart, so he simply stood up, put his hands on his chest, glanced at Shang Dayong and said: "Move, move, what can you do to me!" ”

Shang Dayong said coldly without moving: "Come on, drag it down, fight!" ”

Several soldiers of the Chinese army's law enforcement team were just about to step forward to take people, Liu Changfu struggled and shouted: "Who dares!" Tell you Shang Dayong, these local peasants are afraid of you, but I am not afraid of you. My battalion officer was appointed by Lord Wang, not by you, Shang Dayong, and you have no right to dispose of me. You are eliminating dissidents, you want to build your own prestige, and build your Shang family army! I'm going to sue you, Lord Wang! I'm going to sue you at the military headquarters! Hearing his words, several soldiers of the law enforcement team hesitated and stopped.

Liu Changfu continued: "Don't open your mouth for military discipline, shut up about military regulations, we are a militia group, not an official army, don't play around here with the set of rules in the army, besides, even the official army, there is no such military discipline, right?" Whose rule is this? It's you who are still brave! Lord Wang is the chief officer of our militia group, why do you set military rules privately? Have you consulted the king? Do you still have our Lord Wang in your eyes? ”

Liu Changfu's words are very bad, this is in front of thousands of soldiers to openly provoke the relationship between Shang Dayong and Wang Qiang, Shang Dayong listened to a chill in his heart, he has always been grateful to Wang Qiang, loyal to him, since the formation of the militia group, Wang Qiang let go of him, he will be self-dictated in everything, official deployment, formulation of military regulations, training plans, etc. are all one person in charge, rarely ask Wang Qiang for instructions, this Liu Changfu has always been close to Wang Qiang, if this matter reaches Wang Qiang's ears today, even if he does not blame, I am afraid that there will be some heart disorders, In addition, the military department of the imperial court is also not easy to offend, thinking of this, Shang Dayong hesitated for a while. Wang Qiang, who was listening in the corner, was shocked!

Liu Changfu proudly glanced back at the officers and soldiers in the queue, then turned his head to stare at Shang Dayong and said, "How old are you Shang Dayong, ah!" It's just a convict who was released from death row to wear a crime, and he doesn't even have a grade, Lao Tzu is a captain of the military department, and if you want to deal with me, you have to ask the military department to write a book, I'm afraid you don't have this qualification. ”

The eyes of thousands of officers and soldiers were staring at Shang Dayong on the stage to see how he would deal with him, and the soldiers of the law enforcement team in front of the stage also turned their heads to look at him. Shang Dayong knew that if he couldn't deal with this Liu Changfu today, then military discipline would collapse, and the results of the previous training would be wiped out in an instant. He silently took off his helmet, walked to the front of the stage, and said to the officers and soldiers in the audience: "Sit!" ”

With a bang, thousands of people sat down in place, still neatly and vertically. Li Gang, who was beside Wang Qiang, also secretly praised it: "Sure enough, he is well-trained." ”

Shang Dayong said in a deep voice: "Brothers! I Shang Dayong has been with you for a long time, and everyone must know that I am a person, I never drink the blood of soldiers, and I never bully my brothers with power! The training these days is a bit hard, I treat everyone a little harshly, you may blame me, but it can't be done otherwise! I have been in the army for more than ten years, and I have experienced hundreds of battles, and I have lived a life of licking blood with a knife, which can be described as nine deaths, so I know the cruelty of war best. It's a life-and-death struggle between you and me, on the battlefield of swords and arrows, there is no sympathy, no soft-heartedness, what do you want to live on? Rely on bravery, perseverance, and good kung fu! In peacetime, I am afraid of hardship and tiredness in training, and when I get to the battlefield, I have to bleed or even die. Although we are a militia group, but the militia is also an army, a team has no iron discipline, to the battlefield is a plate of scattered sand, as soon as the battle will be defeated, although we are far away from the battlefield, but the world is so chaotic, we will have to go up with real knives and guns one day, so if we don't practice hard now, then we will only be slaughtered! ”

Shang Dayong paused, glanced at Liu Changfu contemptuously, and then said: "Yes, my Shang Dayong is indeed guilty, it was Wang Qiang and Wang who saved me to leave my life. I am still brave and always do things above board, Lord Wang knows me and believes in me, so he uses me! We treat each other with all sincerity, and we will not be suspicious because of the villain's provocation. ”

"As for the military department? Hehe, Lao Tzu Dongchang's death row, I have experienced the things to be beheaded at noon, and I am not afraid of offending anyone, this life is originally earned, and it is a big deal to die again! ”

Shang Dayong stared at Liu Changfu and said viciously: "Liu Changfu, if you first violate discipline, you should be fined twenty military sticks, and then you contradict the head of this regiment, I don't care, but you dare to use the name of Lord Wang's cronies to sow discord, this is to smear Lord Wang's face, how can I tolerate you, and add twenty military sticks to you, come, drag me down, beat!" ”

Liu Changfu saw that Shang Dayong was serious, and scolded fiercely: "Shang Dayong! If you declare your personal vendetta and exclude dissidents, I will go to Lord Wang to sue you, and I will go to the military department to sue you! ”

A few pro-soldiers no longer hesitated, stepped forward to grab Liu Changfu and dragged him down.

Wang Qiang has been standing in the corner of the playground, watching the whole process of the matter, Liu Changfu openly provoked the relationship between his monk Dayong in front of everyone, separated the army's heart, and made him hateful, he and Shang Dayong have been friends for a long time, like brothers, if this incident makes Shang Dayong wary or makes the soldiers suspicious of one servant and two masters, then how can this team be bringed? After a long time, I am afraid that this team will deviate from Germany. Thinking of this, Wang Qiang couldn't help but have murderous intent!

The law enforcement team is already executing, the two military academies pressed Liu Changfu to the ground, and the other two alternately beat them with sticks, and reported the number once they hit a stick, Liu Changfu was also ruthless, gritted his teeth and did not say a word, the playground was silent, and the dull popping sound of the stick hitting on the ass was clearly audible.

"Eighteen, nineteen, twenty." The soldiers who were executed reported the number, and when they reported to twenty, Wang Qiang shouted loudly: "Stop! Then he slowly paced out of the corner. The executing soldier turned his head and saw Wang Qiang, but he stopped unconsciously, and looked at Shang Dayong suspiciously, Shang Dayong saw Wang Qiang, and said in his heart: "It's broken!" Eighty percent of Liu Changfu's words just now have been heard by Wang Qiang, and he has been affected by these words, his top boss has always been a 'good person', if he intercedes with Liu Changfu, how should he be good? He hesitated for a moment, knelt down on one knee on the stage, and shouted, "Greetings to Lord Wang!" ”

The officers and soldiers on the playground also got up, and then knelt on one knee in unison, and shouted, "Say hello to Lord Wang." Liu Changfu saw that Wang Qiang was coming, and he called to stop the execution, probably to give himself a head, he lay on the ground, raised his head and stared at Shang Dayong viciously, to see how he ended.

Wang Qiang didn't call out as usual, he deliberately wanted to add some deterrent momentum, he walked slowly in the queue of soldiers who knelt down, and said eloquently as he walked: "Brothers, I see that you train so hard, and you are also very distressed, but General Shang is right, you can endure more hardships in peacetime, and you can shed less blood in wartime." Most of you have farmed, and if you are not diligent in farming, there will be a good harvest! It's the same thing. Although we are a militia group, we are also an army that eats food and gets paid, and we can't even endure this hardship, so we might as well go home and pick up our children! Why are you a soldier? From a small point of view, it is to earn a salary, from a large point of view, it is to find a chance for yourself to enter the body, this Lord has always been generous, as long as you train hard, kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, it is indispensable to increase the official reward, and in the future it is to make a general as a general, glorify the ancestors, and it is not impossible to seal the wife and son. Of course, if you are willing to go back and continue to work for other people, you will work for a long time, and I will never force you to live a lowly life. ”

Everyone was incited by Wang Qiang's words, and they all held their breath and listened to Wang Qiang's words. Wang Qiang walked through the ranks, walked to the parade platform, stretched out his hand to pick Shang Dayong up, and then shouted to the officers and soldiers on the playground: "Everyone, please get up." ”

The soldiers got up and stood up, Wang Qiang took Shang Dayong's hand and said to everyone in the audience: "Just now I heard that someone actually used my name to suppress General Shang, hehe!" It's ridiculous. Tell everyone, I squatted on death row with General Shang, were escorted to the noon gate to be beheaded together, and were pardoned by the emperor's decree together, we are friends who have passed our lives, brothers in life and death! To insult General Shang is to insult Lord Ben, and to disobey General Shang is to disobey me! Shang Dayong heard that Wang Qiang was so serious about himself, and he doubted himself in public, he was very moved in his heart, and said in his heart: "For such a brother, it is worth Lao Tzu's death!" ”

Wang Qiang changed his words and said, "Why did I stop just now and not let me fight?" Because the twenty sticks were for me, because I think the twenty sticks are too cheap for him! Liu Changfu had already heard that Wang Qiang's words were wrong, and he was scared in his heart, and shouted: "Lord Wang spares his life!" ”

"Spare you? It's late! Wang Qiang glanced at Liu Changfu and said: "You violated military discipline, even if you beat a few sticks, you contradicted your boss, and you didn't deserve to die, but you actually sowed discord, scattered the morale of the army, and your words and deeds were so vicious, General Shang was pardoned by the emperor in person on the Golden Palace, and you still dare to be committed, and I am afraid that I will not spare you for a traitor like you!" ”

Liu Changfu shouted strangely: "Lord Wang, I am a member of the military department, you can't kill me!" ”

"Hahahaha!" Wang Qiang laughed a few times, and said in a loud voice: "This official was specially ordered by the emperor to establish a special zone and prepare for the establishment of a militia group, which is the identity of the Qincha, not to mention that you are a small official of the military department, I think that at the beginning, the three-grade Yanzhou prefect, Lao Tzu also cut it with a click!" Thinking of the incident of killing officials and releasing grain in Yanzhou, Wang Qiang was arrogant for a while, and asked loudly: "Brothers, do you say that you should kill this kind of despicable and shameless thief who bullies others and sow discord?" ”

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! The soldiers were excited by Wang Qiang's words and replied in unison.

Wang Qiang shouted: "Come on! Pull Liu Changfu down for me, cut it! ”

With Liu Changfu's mournful wail, the playground immediately became silent. For the first time, all the soldiers, including Shang Dayong, learned Wang Qiang's ruthless side beyond generosity, and they were a little more afraid of Wang Qiang's respect.

Wang Qiang turned his head to Shang Dayong and whispered in a consultative tone: "I said Lao Shang, it's weirdly hot, I think it's almost right, I'll have someone send a few carts of watermelons later, why don't you let everyone rest for a while to relieve the heat?" ”

Shang Dayong was still immersed in the excitement of killing Zhang Changfu, and listened to Wang Qiang's polite discussion with him, and was still a little uncomfortable, so he hurriedly said: "Ah? Oh! Okay, the lower officials will follow the orders of the adults. Shang Dayong said to the soldiers in the audience: "Brothers, Lord Wang sympathizes with everyone's hard training, today's training is here, rest for half a day in the afternoon, and disband!" ”

The crowd cheered and scattered back to the barracks.

Wang Qiang chatted with Shang Dayong a few more words, and also left the barracks, Li Gang originally read what had just happened, and also had a new understanding of Wang Qiang and Shang Dayong in his heart.

In the afternoon of the next day, Wang Qiang came to Li Gang's residence by appointment, and Li Gang taught Wang Qiang some basic formation drill methods, and also drew a detailed formation diagram and a schematic diagram of the drill for Wang Qiang to use. Wang Qiang is smart and clever, and he is also very attentive to studying, and he basically mastered it in one afternoon. That night, Wang Qiang bought and sold now, and asked Shang Dayong to gather the officers above the commander in one place, and explained the formation he learned in the afternoon in public.

In this way, every afternoon Wang Qiang asked Li Gang to study the art of war, and in the evening he organized officers to study and explain, and made rapid progress while learning and teaching, and Li Gang taught the art of war in a step-by-step manner, from shallow to deep, becoming more and more complex, and gradually increasing the content of coordination between the arms. At first, Shang Dayong did not think much of the art of war taught by Wang Qiang, thinking that it was Wang Qiang's whim, and he didn't know which book of war he saw some content to show casually, so he was not very serious about organizing drills, but after all, he was a veteran and experienced general, with the continuous complexity and deepening of the formation, he gradually understood the wonderful use of these formations in actual combat, and couldn't help but begin to wonder, and gradually guessed that Wang Qiang was behind Li Gang to instruct, but he tried to ask Wang Qiang several times, and Wang Qiang was vague and refused to tell the truth.
