Chapter 662: Standing in a military posture
Hunger, to put it bluntly, is the source of human progress, and it is also the source of all wars and changes.
Because of hunger, the earliest human ancestors learned to walk upright, then learned to hunt with tools, and learned to slash and burn.
Later, because of hunger, human beings became selfish and began to cluster and privatize the food and resources they could get.
And then there's the war. The original reason for the start of the war was nothing more than to fight for food and power to win you.
The victorious side or class begins to establish a state and rule. Rule, to put it simply, is that the ruling class has developed a system of distribution of food and resources, allowing the losers to follow their own way and fight for the right to survive.
The people who are ruled are hungry and start to rebel, and the reasons for the rebellion may be gorgeous and beautiful, but the ultimate goal is to become the ruling party and then distribute the food according to their will.
In this way, the history of our human race has been continuously advanced by hunger, alternating to tell the stories of war, domination, domination and resistance, which have gradually come to this day.
Lu Jiyuan got his wish and won the first place in today's first long-distance running training, standing in the school field, he has a sense of accomplishment that he has never had in his life.
At that moment, maybe his body was completely overdrawn, and his legs were already numb and didn't obey the call, but he was very proud, he did it, and there was still a little excitement in that feeling.
Some of the government soldiers who stayed in the school yard came over, not to help Lu Jiyuan, who was about to lose his footing, but to signal him to walk slowly around the school yard, and then come back for breakfast.
Lu Jiyuan has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he naturally understands this, when the body is tired, you can't sit down and rest immediately, but you should slowly relax your body, otherwise the next day, all the muscles in your body will not be your own.
He walked around and came back, and adjusted his breath, and at this time, Yang Huairen and most of the original border soldiers were also mostly completed.
Lu Jiyuan walked past Yang Huairen, and did not wantonly show off that he ran the first place, but respectfully bowed down and crossed his hands to salute.
When he stood up straight again, Lu Jiyuan found that Yang Huairen, a scholar who looked so thin, had run ten miles like him, and he didn't have the panic and panting he had just now, it was very ordinary, and it could even be said that he was a little calm.
Yang Huairen didn't say much, just smiled at him, said "Let's go eat first", and then urged the others not to sit down immediately, go for a walk and come back to eat.
Looking at Yang Huairen's back, the shock in Lu Jiyuan's heart was no less than seeing the gods descend to earth. This Yang Huairen, what kind of master is he? How did he do it?
I, a person who has been practicing martial arts since childhood, although I ran the first place, but in order to get this first place, I ran so embarrassed.
But what about the people, they don't look amazing, maybe only a little slower than me, but the state of the people who finished running is as if they are just dancing a set of boxing techniques.
Lu Jiyuan went to look at the generals behind Yang Huairen, as well as the original border army soldiers, although they were also panting, but they were not as close to prostration as he was just now.
The pride and excitement just now suddenly vanished. Lu Jiyuan realized that his first place was probably because people didn't do their best.
Thinking of this, he was a little disappointed, a little melancholy, and inexplicable, but after a moment, he seemed to be relieved, because he felt that he had found a goal that he had never had before - to become a soldier like them.
He got up before dawn early in the morning, took a beating of the mighty stick, and ran five kilometers of cross-country running, Lu Jiyuan was already hungry, as if his heart was close to his back, this feeling, he seemed to feel it for the first time.
It's hunger, a feeling like a person like him who has never had food and clothing since childhood.
At this time, when he saw those foods, which might have been nothing more than the most ordinary cooking cakes, boiled eggs, and large bone broth for him, they had become the most tempting delicacy in the world in his eyes.
It is true that as he had heard before, these ordinary foods, when eaten in the mouth, taste very different from those made by others.
There may not be a big difference between a boiled egg and a good cook, but the gravy is fresh and layered, and when you eat it, it makes people feel like they are fluttering.
When hunger is satisfied, it is easy for people to feel happy and happy.
There were cooking cakes, but boiled eggs and boiled broth were limited, and the first batch of about 6,000 soldiers could get a boiled egg and a large bowl of broth, and there were several large pieces of meat in the broth.
And when the second batch of six or seven thousand people was about to eat, the boiled eggs had already been distributed. Eggs are also a rare thing in this year, whether it is the common people or these soldiers of the forbidden army, it is not a New Year's holiday, and it is not easy to eat.
But the eggs are gone, but the meat is gone, and in a dozen cauldrons, only bones and soup remain, and the cooks of the Tongyuan County Mansion added cabbage and tofu to the cauldron, and after boiling for a while, they made a broth stewed cabbage tofu.
The cabbage and tofu stewed in the broth are also okay, barely a delicious delicacy, and for people who are tired of running, there is nothing to complain about if they can eat such a meal.
After a while, the group that had dragged them back at last, leaving them with only a few cooked cakes that had cooled a little.
Although the cauldron can't be said to be empty, there are not many dishes left, maybe it can only be called vegetable dregs and soup dregs, and they have no other choice but to eat these leftovers of others to fill their stomachs.
These people must have complaints in their hearts, but for hungry people, there is no room for them to "choose food", they can eat a mouthful of food, and they can barely eat enough without being hungry, so forget it.
Besides, this kind of reward and punishment system was said by General Yang from the beginning, and the one-third of the people with the worst training performance have no food, no vegetables and no meat.
Since you can fall behind in a long run, you can only eat some of these meals, vegetables and meat, which are reserved for the strong, and you are weak, you can only blame yourself for not fighting.
When everyone had basically eaten breakfast, in fact, the sun was already approaching noon, just when everyone felt that they could get some lunch break, Yang Huairen stood on the high platform of the school field and began to speak.
"It is said that more sweat in training and less bloodshed on the battlefield. Our next training program is ......"
The soldiers of the forbidden army below almost collapsed when they heard this, thinking with bitter faces, your grandmother still has the next training?
