On a piece of wasteland on the north bank of the Yellow River, this will be all white, like snow in winter, in fact, it is a temporary tent, in the future, nearly 60,000 recruits from the Huainan salt field rushed to Qinghe, although there is a large area of wasteland on the north bank of the Yellow River as a military camp, but in order to provide a camp for 60,000 people, it has to be said that it is a great challenge for the loyal army.

Although Zhu Mingzhong referred to the new tent designed by referring to the marching tent during the Civil War, compared with the old tent, its workmanship was extremely simple, but the oilcloth, copper buckles, and ground nails needed for thousands of tents still made the government of Huai'an, Yangzhou and Changzhou a lot of effort to produce a sufficient number of tents, floor beds and other things.

Yao Wuguo, who had been recruited to Qinghe with thousands of people from the salt farm, immediately felt the hugeness of the camp after entering the camp, and the dense and continuous tents were neatly arranged. Between the tents, you can see the soldiers standing with spears everywhere, all of them looking heavily guarded.

Almost as soon as they entered the camp, sergeants wearing blue armbands were there to teach the newcomers the rules of the camp with a somewhat apprehensive expression.

"You know your position, the whole camp is divided into ten main camps: "A, B, C, D, E, G, G, XIN, REN, and GUI", and each main camp is divided into "Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai" called the 12 sub-camps......"

In the sergeant's explanation, Yao Wuguo knew for the first time that the camp he lived in was "Wuying Shen District", and of course he also knew the first rule of the camp from the sergeant's mouth.

"It is strictly forbidden for soldiers to run between the camps, and tents are not allowed to run around in the camps, and violators will be punished by the military law team according to the military law 20 military sticks, if they go to the camp at night, there will be no forgiveness......

Almost as soon as they entered the camp, Yao Wuguo and others felt the cold camp rules, among these camp rules, there are not only the military orders of the ancient marching camp, but also some of the camping concepts introduced by Zhu Mingzhong from later generations, such as although all the soldiers sleep in tents, but each camp has several rows of toilets made of wooden boards, and there are wooden toilets in the toilets, and all the soldiers take turns cleaning the toilets and toilets, and every day there will be donkey carts to take the camp out of the camp.

The reason why we attach importance to this issue is because the hygiene experience of later generations has made Zhu Mingzhong very clear that whether drinking water is hygienic and that filth such as defecation is the main way of spreading infectious diseases, and it is also directly related to the high epidemic infection, wound deterioration, and combat attrition of the ancient army.

Maybe he didn't learn epidemic prevention, but the most basic common sense made him attach great importance to the army's drinking water sanitation and the disposal of feces. Therefore, as early as the founding of the army in Jiangyin, he ordered the officers to take the initiative to dig toilet pits outside the camp, and repeatedly ordered that "any officer and soldier who defecates everywhere must be taken immediately and punished by military discipline as soon as he is caught without leading the rank of officer." The camp rules he personally formulated also stipulated that the kitchen and toilet pit must be separated from the lodging area, at opposite ends of the camp. The pit should be on a downhill slope or in the lower reaches of a river.

Of course, this is camping in the marching field, and now the long-term camping life and health camp rules are more stringent, so that in the camp full of tents, there are only two kinds of wooden buildings - kitchen and toilet, and the importance of military camp hygiene, in Zhu Mingzhong's view, is the foundation to ensure combat effectiveness, after all, for this kind of crowded place, infectious diseases caused by health problems have always been the biggest enemy of the army in this era.

According to the regulations, after all recruits enter the camp, the first thing they do in addition to learning the camp rules is not to enter the camp to recognize the door, but to find their camp on the sign, and then follow the sergeant who leads the soldiers to the river outside the camp and jump into the river to take a bath.

"All the old clothes are thrown into the basket here, from now on, you will eat and use all the food and use of the loyal army, and your life is also the ...... of the loyal army."

Amid the shouts of the sergeants, the naked recruits jumped into the river one after another to wash away the sweat and mud from their bodies, and although the river seemed to be very clear, thousands of people jumped into it, and soon the river was muddy.

After taking a bath in the river and washing his hair with soaphorns, Yao Wuguocai and others all went ashore, when they went ashore naked, over there, they had already brought military uniforms, and the military uniforms were still red military uniforms, which were very different from the clothes they wore in the past.

Especially after putting it on, there is no looseness of the horse coat at all, this kind of military uniform made of reference to the military uniform style of the mid-to-late 19th century, has always been the characteristics of the loyal army, Western-style military uniform than the traditional Ben coat, can show the spirit of the wearer more.

"Everyone, pay attention, these pants are different from the usual pants, these pants don't need to be tied with a cloth belt, after wearing, just tie this belt...... It's this strip of cloth......"

When designing the military uniform of the Loyal and Righteous Army, Zhu Mingzhong can be said to have put a lot of thought into it, because in this era, Chinese people often use a thick long cloth as a belt, so they borrowed from the sweatpants of later generations in the military pants, but there is no elastic band, and a strip of cloth on the waist of the pants acts as a belt, which is simple and convenient.

That is, when designing military uniforms, Zhu Mingzhong deeply realized the limitations of the times, in this era, there are not even copper buckles, only cloth buckles, and of course, there are no tight stitches of sewing machines, and they want to introduce military uniforms from later generations, from the sewing of military uniforms to the improvement of military uniforms, almost everything needs to take into account the limitations of this era.

"Wu Guo, you said that when you wear this dress on your body, why don't you feel so comfortable......"

Wearing the red clothes on his body, when Wang Daliang moved his arms, he always felt uncomfortable, and even felt uncomfortable.

"It's just that it's still bright red, and it's dressed like a groom's officer......"

Before the man could finish speaking, he listened to the sergeant wearing the blue armband next to him reprimand.

"You kid knows a fart, our Daming is Huode, of course this military uniform is red, otherwise when I was worshipping the sky in Jiaoshan, why was it a red robe and red armor, this red is our Daming's fiery red......"

Of course, this is only one of the explanations, but no one knows that the original choice of this red military uniform was entirely because Zhu Mingzhong was influenced by the red color of the military uniform of the constitutional monarchy of the Ming Dynasty, and of course, the clothing style borrowed from the European military uniform in the late 19th century.

Naturally, the big guys didn't dare to refute the sergeant's explanation, and after taking a bath, they put on their new clothes a little crampedly, and entered the camp again with the sergeant and into their own camp.

"From now on, this is the home of our brothers......"

Entering the tent, looking at the wooden planks that were no more than a foot above the ground on several layers of bricks in the tent, Yao Wuguo squeezed out a smile, it seems that this camp is not bad, no matter what, it is better than the thatched hut on the salt field.

At least it's not as tidal as it is in the salt works, and of course, more importantly, you can see hope and freedom here!

"No, this is our brothers' home, come, let's lie down for a while and rest......"

Before Wang Daliang finished speaking, a whistle sounded outside the tent over there, and along with the whistle, there was also the roar of the sergeant.

"Quick, quick, everyone gathers, everyone gathers ......"

The current Loyal Army is experienced in how to train new recruits, and the most important thing is that they need to make them feel the difference in the barracks and understand the importance of discipline as soon as they enter the camp.

"Stand in line, stand in line, stand ......"

The sergeant with the bamboo stick in his hand, when shouting loudly, would reprimand these people from time to time, and occasionally the bamboo stick would be directly drawn at someone's body.

Loud reprimands, scolding, and even the sergeant's hand would sometimes whip the bamboo stick on the person. They are all telling these people nakedly that discipline is strict.

Of course, all of this has another effect. That is, in the fastest possible time, these recruits can complete the transformation from civilians to soldiers, so as to initially establish the consciousness of soldiers.

"Big guy remember, from today on, you are a member of my loyal army, my loyal army with Ren Shuai rose in Jiangyin, captured Changzhou, fought Nanjing, no one retreated from the battle, no one escaped, the sky did not live up, the people did not live up! And live up to the name of my loyalty......"

Yao Wuguo, who was in the queue, heard the official's words again.

What is loyalty?

He didn't know, but now he knew very well that in the loyal army, he must live up to the name of loyalty!

Those veterans have done this with their lives. As for these recruits, they must do the same.

But how can this be done?

Yao Wuguo didn't have an answer in his heart, but he knew very well that he had no way out on the battlefield, just like everyone else, not only because of the strict military law, but more importantly, he knew what he wanted.

"Three years, after three years, the whole family can become good citizens, and they will not be naturalized again......"

In fact, it's not just Yao Wuguo who thinks so, here, there is hardly a recruit from the stove, all of them are like this, and the reason why they are soldiers is for such a simple purpose.

“…… Don't think that you can breathe a sigh of relief when you come to the camp now, not to mention anything else, that is, there are no eyes on this battlefield, and if you want to live, what should you do? It depends on your usual training...... Sweat more in peacetime, bleed less in wartime! This truth was bought by the brothers in exchange for their lives, and the reprimands of the officers were all so that you could survive on the battlefield in the future, understand? ”

In the roar of the official, Yao Wuguo and the brothers around him shouted in unison:

"Understand ......"
