The south of the Yangtze River in February is a season when the grass grows and the warbler flies, the cold winter has gone away from here, the spring warms the earth, the smoke is like a shear, and the new clothes of the earth are cut out overnight, and the mountains and fields have become green again.

On this beautiful day, the middle and high school students of Sungkyun Public School ushered in the first military training of the new year.

One month of military training every year. Chengjun Gong credits are done three times, each time for ten years, respectively in early spring February, Mid-Autumn Festival and August, and cold winter wax moon.

After all, Sungkyun Public School has many students from extraordinary families, and they are going to participate in the children's camp. Even some students who do well in school, even if their families are in a normal situation, or if they are not at that level, will be included in the camp. Therefore, Sungkyun Public School cannot concentrate all the training time of a month in the summer or winter vacation like some schools.

From the beginning of the middle school to the third year of high school, the students of the sixth grade, under the leadership of their respective class teachers, marched out of Nanjing in a light rain.

This alone took them a full morning, the huge city of Nanjing, from the school gate of Chengjun Public School to the outer city wall, there is not twenty miles of road, and fifteen miles is enough. I don't know how many students walked with weak legs and trembling all over. But in a boot camp outside the city, they still had to stand on the playground and listen quietly to the lectures of the superiors.

That's just a Captain Zuo, for the parents of many students below, he is a little person who can't be seen in the eyes, but in this recruit training camp, he is the 'master'.

When these students arrived at the boot camp, not only did they not drink a sip of hot water or eat a hot meal, but now they even had their raincoats confiscated.

From the twelfth to the seventeenth, one by one, the future pillars of the Chen Han Dynasty, like the wheat seedlings in the field, were stunned to bathe in the rain.

The logistics director of the team at Sungkyun Public School has already protested to the people in the camp, "Director Zhou, it's still raining in the sky, this ...... Isn't it okay to hold off and let your child drink hot soup first? "Among the six grades in front of me, there are a large number of powerful children, and it won't look good if they get sick and catch a cold. Because this is a senseless 'casualty'!

The logistics director of Sungkyun Public School, surnamed Zhang, looked at the students in front of him who were wet with rain and had dripping water droplets on their hair, and felt that his heart couldn't stand it.

This is the grandson of Shuntian Fuyi, the nephew of the governor of Jiangnan, and the third son of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and the one next to him is the youngest son of the prince......

But the rules in the army can be changed if they are changed.

I saw that the director of the base surnamed Zhou raised his eyebrows nonchalantly: "It's nothing more than rain, the more windy and rainy it is in the troops, the more we have to pull the troops out for training." Why do it? Because at this time, pulling people out can exercise the soldier's body and exercise the soldier's will. Young people must be energetic, have the spirit of struggle, and even be afraid of wind and rain. We are not God, no one knows if it will rain tomorrow, but when it rains in the soldiers, won't there be a war? That's impossible. ”

"Director Zhang, today's rain is regarded as a workout for the students."

"Don't forget Your Majesty's will, the military training of Sungkyun Public School should be strict and serious."

After saying that, Director Zhou swept his eyelids at the students below, turned his head to Director Zhang who was standing next to him and said, "Mr. Zhang, you and I should go outside and take a look at the materials needed for military training." "This thing can only be unsealed and issued if it is signed by the logistics director of the military training unit and the logistics personnel of the school.

Director Zhang was still in a trance at this time, and he was very remorseful in his heart, why did he forget the words 'strict and serious' of His Majesty, this matter can only be understood and not said openly on the surface. Hearing this, he hurriedly said politely: "Good ......"

Not long after the two masters went out, they heard a chaotic and heavy footstep behind the queue, as if many people were moving heavy things in this direction. And the director of the base on the stage continued to preach the rules and regulations and discipline of the base.

Know that the rules and regulations and disciplinary regulations have all been preached.

Each class is a team, and an age is a squadron, and the height, weight, and clothing size of all the students here are all recorded in the military school, so the current military training clothes are also made according to that size.

When all the classes were separated from each other, large bags of things were piled up in front of the students of their respective classes, and one by one the instructors took a piece of paper and walked in front of their respective classes. "Next, the classmates whose names I read came forward to receive their own military training materials. Wang Ping, there is a number on that dress, don't send it wrong. …… Liu Bao! …… Zhang Wei! …… Gao Mingsen! ……”

Every time the instructor at the top reads a name, a student below comes forward to receive the handout.

Some of the pampered students at home are already impatient, and the starting point of this emotion is not to be eager to see their military training clothes or anything, but that all the students will inevitably let them go back to the dormitory to change their clothes after receiving the materials, and they have been through the rainforest.

But if you look closely at the students with such expressions, they are all middle-grade people who are not up or down. The civilian top students at the bottom are not very advantageous, if they don't have a scholarship, even if they have the qualifications to enter the school, they don't have the financial resources, for them, a little rain is nothing. As for the children of the real elites of the upper class, at least the children, grandchildren and nephews of officials above the third rank, they have to join the Boy Scouts every year, and it is not uncommon for them to have a rainy and self-reliant life.

It's like the eldest princess's third son, the prince's youngest son, not to mention the light rain, even if they are rolling in the mud, they haven't done it. All of them can cook, do laundry, and fold quilts by themselves.

Now these two people are looking at the classmates who went up to get things, and they want to know what they sent as soon as possible, as if they were scratched by a cat. Although they will receive it right away, it is only in the order of priority.

But the military training that started today will be a rare highlight moment in their lives for the two students whose academic performance is not too good.

The two of them, who were not very good at learning, were outstanding in their previous scout training. Of course, it can't be said to be the first. But now the whole school is divided into classes, and their competitors are only students in their own classes, so for the two of them, they are just a group of weak chickens. The two brothers, who have been lacking performance in the class because of their poor academic performance, are now holding back their energy to show their talents.

The eldest princess's concubine's surname is Shang, but she is not from the Ryukyus, and there is no relationship between the two. Shang Juma is a very ordinary literary and artistic worker, who works as a 'director', and his career is organized in the National Theater Troupe.

When he was young, Shang Juma was very talented and handsome, which deeply attracted the eyes of the eldest princess. Chen Ming originally wanted to choose a talented person with both civil and military skills for his eldest daughter, but when he looked at it later, he still forgot it and followed his daughter's wishes. Although her biological mother Liu Bangyun disagreed with this marriage, at that time, the big competition had not yet begun, and the dust had not settled, Liu Bangyun also planned to rely on her daughter to win over the noble forces. But her little arms can't fit Chen Ming's thighs.

The eldest princess's third son is called Shang Sen, his second brother is called Shang Lin, his eldest brother is called Shang Mu, and the fourth child of his family is called Shang Changqing.

And Chen Ding's youngest son's name is Chen You. At this time, both of them were looking ahead, waiting for their names to be shouted by the instructor.

This time did not wait long, the names of the two people were shouted by the instructor one after another, and after everyone in the whole class got their own clothes, shoes, etc., the whole class was divided into two teams, men and women, and each turned back to the dormitory, freshened up and changed. Then we gathered downstairs and went to the cafeteria to eat.

Chen You and Shang Sen's faces were full of confidence, before their brothers were despised by a cadre in their studies, and now it is their turn to despise that cadre.

The utensils issued by the troops were not fancy, each person had two pairs of shoes, two sets of clothes, two pairs of socks, and a satchel, which were still made of cheesecloth. There was only one brimmed military cap and no cockade, just like a garment without epaulettes, collar badges and armbands. In addition, there are two leg belts and an armed belt, and there are two small packages, one for vests and underwear, and towels, and the other for tin kettles, lunch boxes, toothbrushes, soap, and finally a small grass green sewing kit.

"Inside the bag are two sets of military uniforms used by the army for training, everyone is not a soldier, epaulettes, collar badges, armbands, and cockades are not used, these two cloth belts are leggings, and everyone uses it to tie the trouser hem before training, and I will demonstrate to you when the time comes. In addition to the training uniforms, there are belts, water bottles for drinking water, lunch boxes for meals, soap, tooth powder, toothbrushes, sewing kits and backpacks. In addition, if a boy needs to shave, he can apply for a razor from the instructor in each class. "The instructor took out the things one by one and introduced them to the students below." I'll give you half an hour to meet in the playground downstairs from your dorm. If it fails to meet the deadline, it will have its own disciplinary punishment. ”

It's not that it's embarrassing, it's the rules in boot camp.

And when the students entered the dormitory with eight people, the original serious atmosphere evaporated in an instant. For many students at Sungkyun Public School, the rain was a very new and unpleasant thing, and if it weren't for the presence of soldiers on duty in the dormitory building, they would have been howling as soon as they entered the dormitory building.

The soldiers and the red armbands on their arms made the students feel solemn, but when they entered the dormitory, everything was released.

"Chauson." A classmate put his clothes on the bed, took out the leggings, held them in his hand and shook them twice, and then asked Shang Sen, "How are these leggings tied?" ”

The soldiers wore leggings, they all knew that they had seen a lot of them in Nanjing. But how to tie leggings is another problem.

Chen You is not in the same dormitory as Shang Sen, and Shang Sen is the only one in this dormitory who has participated in the boy camp.

"See this flat-headed one? The way to play the leggings is to wrap the flat end around the leg from the upper of the shoe, and the leggings can be turned over every circle or two to ensure that the flat leg surface continues to hit the leg bend upward. To stand up and play, the tightness is moderate, not too tight, too tight to take a step, too loose does not work, a good leggings will be tightly sealed, and it will not be loose for a long time. ”

"What's the use of this?"

"It's very useful." Shang Sen quickly untied the leggings he used for demonstration, and said: "First of all, after this leggings, I began to have some unaccustomed legs and stomachs, and after a few days, I will feel very comfortable, especially when I am climbing, I feel that my calves are not sore, and it has the effect of preventing blood from accumulating and causing pain." ”

"When marching in the mountains again, if you don't wear leggings, the mountain insects and locusts can crawl in and bite and suck down the trouser tube at any time, and you won't have to worry about cutting the leggings. Moreover, it can effectively prevent thorn branches from piercing and hanging. ”

"Finally, it's useful when you're wounded. If you are wounded on the battlefield and do not have a first-aid kit by your side, this legging cloth can play a role in fixing the wound and preventing excessive bleeding; When you need to climb and land on a steep slope, connecting a few leggings to form a rope can play a big role; In addition, if a soldier is wounded and is evacuated without a stretcher, he can make a simple stretcher by cutting two long and two short branches and tying a few pairs of legging cloths. ”

"This thing does a lot of things." Shang Sen ended with this sentence, and the whole dormitory was already silent, and the students looked at the leggings in their hands with a look of wonder in their eyes. How can this little inconspicuous legging be so useful?

Just then, there was a sudden knock on the bedroom door. One of the closest students hurriedly opened the door, and a soldier in military uniform walked in to meet everyone's gaze.

"Room 212's health regulations are announced, have you elected a dormitory director in your dormitory? Who came to sign a name. ”

A large 30X60 piece of paper, with small characters printed in black and white, is the hygiene management regulations of the dormitory.

One is issued to each dormitory, which is to inform everyone. If there is another offense, then it can be 'dealt with by military law'.

The base is just outside the capital, and some of the things that happened inside have reached the ears of the powerful almost without intervals.

Immediately, a woman who felt sorry for her son rushed to be dissatisfied, "It's raining and you're not allowed to wear a raincoat, what kind of rule is this?" Sungkyun Public School is a place where the children of wealthy and aristocratic families gather, and these soldiers are not afraid of nobles getting sick in the rain? ”

"The woman's opinion. The troops are all picking on bad weather to strengthen training! An order is given on the battlefield, not to mention that it rains, even if you have a knife, you have to rush forward. ”

"Are they soldiers? Those are children! Can a half-grown child compare to a soldier? Why are they so ruthless? Not to mention children, even adults can't go out on a rainy day. ”

"Look at you, look at it, how can you be a pillar if you are so spoiled by children? Military training is a good thing, children should endure hardships, exercise and exercise, all day long by you in your hands for fear of falling, in the mouth for fear of melting, can the child have a future? "On this day, the head of more than one family was dissatisfied with what his wife and daughter-in-law said, they spoiled their children too much.

"If you don't have a strong mind, no matter how smart your brain is, you can't become a talent."

……

In the 212 bedroom, Shang Sen was dressed in a well-fitting military uniform, and he spent five minutes placing his toothbrush, tooth powder, soap, towels, clothes, shoes, etc. in their respective positions, and then picked up the basin and went into the bathroom.

He put on his military uniform, tied his belt, and put on his military cap.

Standing in front of the only half-length mirror in the dormitory, General Chawson straightened his hat, and in the mirror appeared a young and handsome soldier, but without epaulettes and cockades. Even though he didn't have any of these things, a heartfelt smile appeared on his face.

Compared with the political line set for him by his wife, Shang Sen prefers the military uniform on his body.
