"Turn left!"

"Xiangyou-turn!"

……

At more than seven o'clock in the morning, there was a sound of drills on the shore of East Lake.

This is the training of the recruits of the Gongyi battalion, after Wang Kefan, Wang Sheng, Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong joined the army one after another, they were all awarded the position of sentry officer, and they soon recruited four young men and strong, and they practiced non-stop every day.

Hu Dahai was sleeping lazily in the barracks, and after being woken up, he sat up from the bed and spat angrily in the direction of the school field, swearing in his mouth.

"These hillbillies, if they don't stand up early in the morning, they are tossing around in poverty, do they want to die every day?!"

The Ming army used to conduct a drill every five days, and the Gongyi battalion was changed to a drill every three days under the supervision of He Tengjiao.

Hu Dahai got up lazily and went down to the ground, put on a piece of clothing and pushed the door out of the house, yawning while touching his belly, and came to the courtyard sleepily, where he saw several officers standing on a small mound, pointing to the school yard by the lake.

"Lao Hu, come on, come and see the fun!" When a flag officer surnamed Wang saw Hu Dahai, he beckoned him over again and again, and pointed to the direction of the school with a smile and said: "These hillbillies have come up with new tricks today, and they have been going around for more than half an hour, laughing to death in a mess!" ”

There were hundreds of recruits standing on the school grounds, divided into a dozen phalanxes in teams, practicing turning under the command of the team officer, but many of them couldn't tell the difference between left and right, and every time they turned, they would make a mess, attracting a burst of ridicule from the onlookers.

"Hey, look, that fat guy is the stupidest, he will turn wrong every time, as long as he turns the other way around, he can't be wrong!"

"That, that stupid big guy is ridiculous, he doesn't move like a stake, and it's easy to turn around, and then turn behind his ass!"

……

On the school field, the officers scolded and beat each other, showing no mercy to the soldiers who turned in the wrong direction, and seeing the embarrassed appearance of those soldiers, the laughter around them became louder.

Hu Dahai looked at it for a moment, then pursed his lips and said contemptuously: "Turning around like a monkey, at most practicing a showcase, there is a fart on the battlefield!" ”

"Hey, Lao Hu, do you really treat Wang Kefan as a character? Xiucai leads the troops, it's not all nonsense! Wang Qipai official snapped his fingers and said: "Every morning, I get up and run ten miles first, and when I finish running, I finish walking...... These hillbillies are really obedient, so they are tossed by those few showmen! ”

"It won't last long." Hu Dahai said coldly: "Since the soldiers have to do it every day, they have to take care of their three meals, and the military food is definitely not enough to eat, and when the soldiers are hungry, they can't move if they want toss......

Hu Dahai's heart suddenly moved, if these four sentinel recruits run out of food, they will definitely make a big fuss, and when the military law is ruthless, if they don't cut off the heads of Wang Kefan and others, they will at least have to be driven out of the Gongyi camp.

The military rations in the battalion are all in the hands of the transfer officer! Hu Dahai rolled his eyes and asked the Wang Qipai officer: "Lao Wang, the new promotion officer is your fellow countryman, right?" ……”

……

Wang Kefan and the soldiers went out for morning exercises, leaving them to practice queue turning, and went to the Chinese army to receive food with Wang Sheng.

Under the high-intensity training, the soldiers were able to eat more than one by one, and they ate up a month's military rations in a dozen days, so Wang Kefan had no choice but to report to Niu Zhongxiao for approval and bring out the next month's military rations.

Everyone escorted the grain cart back to the camp, Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong kept raising the bar along the way, but Wang Sheng frowned, very worried.

"Yuntai, this is not the way to eat the grain, is it not to cut the soldier's rations and eat two meals a day?"

"It's not proper, the soldiers only eat two meals, it will affect the effect of training, and the big fish and meat can't afford it, at least they can eat enough." Wang Kefan thought for a while and said: "Well, pick a few people who can cast nets to catch some fish, and stew a pot of fish soup for everyone every day." As the saying goes, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to eat the water, and staying on the edge of the East Lake always has to get a little fishy. ”

Tan Xiao shouted: "Still let them eat fish? Are you raising a soldier or a young master? ”

Zhou Guodong glared at him: "It's not a troublesome matter, you can improve morale with a little effort, just do what Yuntai said, and I'll lead me to fish tomorrow." ”

One thing drops one thing, Tan Xiao's height is a whole head taller than Zhou Guodong, but he was not angry when he called and drank, and said with a grin: "Then I'll go too, I'm also a good hand at fishing, show you your hands and take a look......"

The two of them kept talking and laughing, but Wang Sheng was still very serious: "Yuntai, a pot of fish soup is just a drop in the bucket, and the food is still not enough to eat, so you have to think of a long-term way." ”

"It's okay, there's always a solution." Wang Kefan smiled and said: "We have just formed an army, and there are always more difficulties, and we will slowly get on the track in the future, and there will be more ways to get money." ”

Next month's military rations have not yet arrived, but Wang Kefan is not worried.

As a human being in two lives, this difficulty is really nothing, just like a nine-dan national player facing a beginner Go enthusiast, even if the opponent has a full chessboard, he is confident to win.

Tan Xiao is a natural optimist, and he answered with a smile: "Isn't it just a lack of food, no problem!" If it really doesn't work, I'll pay for a few hundred stone of rice for the brothers to eat with their stomachs open! ”

His family is a wealthy family in Yuezhou, and he is spoiled by his parents, and he has always been bold and generous, for him, the problems that can be solved with money are not a problem.

Wang Kefan said with a smile: "This is raising soldiers, even if there is a gold mountain, it will be empty for you, and we have to find another source of money......"

"Hi, surnamed Wang, zhanzhu!"

There was a sudden shout behind him, and when he stood still and looked back, it was Hu Dahai's group who hurriedly came up from behind.

"Something?" Wang Kefan asked.

"Something! ――I want to compete with you! ”

Hu Dahai rushed to find the promotion officer, but he was a step too late, and the military rations had been taken away by Wang Kefan, and he hurriedly chased after him to provoke, and he was about to start with his arm.

"Not interested." Wang Kefan turned around to leave.

"What, are you scared?" Hu Dahai stretched out his hand and stopped Wang Kefan, and several officers behind him also clamored to help.

"Don't be a turtle with a shrunken head, compete with the whistle officer!"

"Yes, as a general, don't you dare to compete in martial arts?"

"Xiucai came to be a soldier, it was originally a joke!"

……

Tan Xiao stepped forward: "Hu Dahai, I'll compete with you!" He is tall, just on a par with Hu Dahai, and the two big men are viciously pressed together, which is visually impactful.

Wang Kefan stopped them: "If you want to fight later, you can't fight today." ”

“weishenme？” The two big men roared together.

Wang Kefan pointed to the grain truck: "Escorting grain and grass, official business, you can't fight with weapons privately." ”

Everyone was stunned and had nothing to say.

It is very common to receive grain in the camp, can this also be regarded as escorting grain and grass? Seeing Wang Kefan holding chicken feathers as an arrow, if he really wanted to force him to do it, he dared to blackmail Hu Dahai and them to snatch military rations.

The escort of grain and grass is too important, there are strict military law constraints in the army, and any behavior that dares to offend and obstruct is a big crime.

Hu Dahai hesitated for a moment, and said viciously: "Okay, you are lucky today, but I will still look for you, don't try to hide when the time comes!" ”

Wang Kefan nodded and agreed: "Okay, but we have to come while we are free, otherwise we won't have time to play with you." ”

After a few words of the scene, Hu Dahai and the others walked away stupidly, turning around and pointing from time to time, still provocative, Tan Xiao crossed his waist and chested at them, blew his beard and glared, and did not fall behind in momentum at all.

"Yuntai, weishenme won't let me compete with him? I've been taught by a master, and I'm not afraid of him! Tan Xiao asked.

"When a dog barks on the road, how can you bite it? Just kick it away. Wang Kefan replied.

When you encounter a mad dog barking at you, there is no need to fight with it, just kick it away, just leave.

"Uh-huh, that makes sense!" Tan Xiao nodded, deeply agreed, and suddenly shouted in a daze: "Yuntai, you are not kind, you actually scolded me for biting with a dog!" ”

"Hehe, Tan Jun misunderstood." Wang Kefan said with a smile: "The eldest husband should learn from ten thousand enemies, and he will see a high and low on the battlefield, so why bother with the courage of this horseman." ”

"Yes! I also want to go into battle as soon as possible to kill the thief and make a contribution! Tan Xiao was scratched on the itch, his eyebrows fluttered, and his mind suddenly turned and asked, "Yuntai, why is your training method different from others, is it okay?" ”

Unlike usual, Zhou Guodong did not raise the bar with him this time, but stood still and stared at Wang Kefan, wanting to hear how he answered.

Since Tan Xiao and Zhou Guodong joined the army, they both hoped to train an elite army, but Wang Kefan's training method was very unique, and they both had some doubts.

"Now the main thing is to cultivate the concept of discipline, but also to let the soldier's body adapt to it, and when the follow-up training is launched, the effect will be seen soon......," Wang Kefan said calmly: "Leave the matter of training to me, although you can rest assured, there is another thing that is very strange...... There is something abnormal in Niu Xietai today, have you noticed it? ”

"Nope." Tan Xiao's thick lines.

Niu Xietai's expression was a little nervous and absent-minded. Zhou Guodong's eyes were sharp.

"The two deputy battalion officers are not there, well, Niu Xietai's personal soldiers are also wearing armor and knives, fully armed!" Wang Sheng is meticulous.

Everyone got together in a few words, and they all found the strangeness.

"The atmosphere in the camp is not right, there may be something big going on in the DPRK!" Wang Kefan had already guessed the reason, but it was inconvenient to say it clearly, so he only guided vaguely.

Li Zicheng's destruction of Beijing and the martyrdom of Emperor Chongzhen were both events at the end of April and early May, because the road was far away and not known to the people of Huguang, once the news spread, the morale of the army and the people was bound to be in turmoil.

The current Wuchang Mansion is as calm as a frozen river, but there are undercurrents surging under the ice!

"Is it really that serious? Why can't I see it? Tan Xiao was inexplicable.

"In the past few days, there have been rumors that the Jingshi was broken by Li Zicheng's thief army, is it ......true" Zhou Guodong looked concerned and worried.

"I don't know, but since the edict of King Qin was issued in March, there has been no news from the emperor." Wang Kefan said: "Be careful, there is no big mistake, my four sentinels will strengthen training from today and be prepared to deal with emergencies!" ”
