Hearing that they were going to be a soldier, most of them immediately showed a timid look and retreated, but the leader generously said that even if he didn't come to be a soldier, he could bring two of them back.

"Since these people have so many steamed buns, they must not be deceiving, right? One, two, three...... Twenty ...... I've never seen so many buns. Surely they are true! Perhaps because he was born and asked a fortune teller to choose a good name, Shen Yunhao seemed "smarter" in this village, and with this simple and direct judgment, Shen Yunhao followed the conscription team out of the village and saw the vast world.

Following these well-dressed people, Shen Yunhao came to a camp next to the county seat, where he was arranged to take a bath, shave his hair again, and change into new clothes. To be honest, he was a little resistant to this strange change, but he was still obedient when someone sent out a set of clothes after taking a shower.

After sleeping in the camp for the night, he was led by one of them into a boat full of people, which floated down the river. He poked his head out along the way, and occasionally saw some strange scenery: other boats, docks, winches on the docks, etc.; Everything that has nothing to do with planting makes this young man who has never been out of the mountains feel new in his life.

Three days later, the ship docked at a larger pier, and the group was sent down to carry some boxes, although the boxes were heavy, but it was rare to have a few comfortable days, Shen Yunhao only felt that he was full of strength that he could not muster, and as a result, he almost twisted his waist.

"If it hurts, take this plaster and put it on it," the man who had brought himself on board along the way pulled out a plaster from a box in the corner of the ship.

Shen Yunhao put on the plaster, feeling that this is really very different from the soldiers he heard in the bazaar, in the mouths of those well-informed people who often rush to the market and have been to the county seat, the soldiers are the existence of breaking the house and destroying the door at every turn, and the soldiers who are in charge of their own people seem to be quite good to themselves? --- at least he hasn't been beaten by him.

Immediately afterward, Shin Yunhao and the others were stuffed into a military train painted in the color of forgiveness like sardines. Everyone sat on a box. Then the horses in front of the cart flew and pulled the long and heavy cart.

"This car only needs two horses?" Shen Yunhao had seen horse-drawn carriages in the bazaar, but he had never seen two horses, and a horse could not even pull a tenth of the train.

"yes, if you don't want to run faster, you can stuff more people." The leader said as usual.

"This, how can this be done?"

"It's because the wheels are recessed and put on wooden tracks." As he spoke, the train slammed, and Shen Yunhao's head hit the roof of the carriage.

"Can it be faster if you recess in..."

"Then I don't know, you can learn culture when you go to the army."

Contrary to the situation in later generations when military trains almost avoided all trains, military trains at this time had absolute priority on the track, and the trains encountered along the way returned to the fork in the road, giving way to the main road and allowing the military trains to speed all the way.

As night fell, everyone fell asleep on each other's shoulders. But it didn't take long for Shen Yunhao to be shaken up again, "Get out of the car, there is a bunk to sleep." "Everyone went to a large courtyard together, but they didn't get in time to sleep, but were semi-forced to put their feet in the hot water bucket.

"Soak your feet and then sleep, tomorrow your feet won't hurt." You hillbillies, really—" complained the station's "service area" attendant.

was scolded, but Shen Yunhao didn't care, when he was shopping in the bazaar, he had also seen those people in good clothes who looked down on people--- in other words, he had long been used to it, not to mention, he had really never seen anything.

After another day or so, Shen Yunhao re-boarded a ship, but this one was much larger. Compared with trains, ships can be transported day and night at any time, and when the morning light is faint, his feet are back on the earth. Shen Yunhao didn't know that if this road was a year ago, the team would have to walk for almost a month. I don't know that in the two months from May to June, more than 2,000 young people like him walked out of hundreds of villages.

Access to barracks, assignment of troops, dormitories ... Housekeeping, cohort training, literacy... After a set of situations that made him blend ice and fire in the clouds and purgatory, this extremely tolerant peasant boy got used to this strange "errand", ate better and better, and seemed to grow a little taller?

The dormitory is a large bunk for 12 people, which happens to be a class. Everyone's daily necessities are uniform---- each person has a wooden basin, a bowl, a toothbrush made of willow branches, etc., in addition, each person has a small towel. The dialects of various parts of Yunnan can be communicated, and the comrades-in-arms with similar life backgrounds quickly became one.

"Today, Your Majesty will inspect the barracks and add food." Before lunch, the squad leader ran back to the dormitory to convey the news.

When the time came, the soldiers rushed out with dishes and chopsticks and quickly lined up. The cook in front of the cauldron stirred a large pot with a horse spoon, and he didn't know what it was, and there was a smell of oil wafting in the air.

"The taste of beef!" I don't know who called out first, and there was an exclamation from the queue.

Even though Shen Yunhao had been beaten with a military stick and had learned the strictness of military discipline, he couldn't help but scream in a low voice. Eating beef, which is only eaten after the cow has died of illness, is not eaten more than a few times in a lifetime – and you have to risk getting sick yourself. However, have you eaten beef so much once in your life?

Soon, the first batch of soldiers who were cooking were stunned: What a lot of beef...! Just as there is a difference between more chili peppers and more meat in the chili fried meat in later generations, there is also a difference between putting a little beef in the beef soup or the same as beef porridge, it is obvious that this is a pot of beef porridge with butter.

Shen Yunhao never felt that the short queue had become so long, and he couldn't wait to fill a big bowl of beef soup!

Twenty-seven people... Shen Yunhao used the number of numbers he learned in the army.

Twenty-four, twenty-three...

I don't know how long it took, Shen Yunhao finally came to the cook with a bowl, and a large spoonful of beef porridge filled his rice bowl. After taking a sip, the greasy taste that he had never felt before filled his withered mouth, as if he had drunk fairy water.

A few days later, warning signs were planted everywhere near the camp of the newly formed Fifth Regiment of the New Army, and there were open and secret sentries everywhere, and a company of soldiers tightly blocked the place, all in order to cover up the news that the Fifth Regiment had left the place.
