Only those who have horses can become dragoons.

However, the dragoons sounded formidable, but they were actually mounted infantry, often dismounted and fought with rifles in battle, as a mobile "horse infantry".

After all, they are cavalry, and they are just as good at slashing and killing when attacking.

The dragoons were favored by the monarchs of the nations because of their ability to immediately shoot their swords and horses and lower their guns.

At the end of September, Budyonny and the other recruits arrived in the city of Biryuch and entered the suburban barracks, where they lived in barracks like shacks... Well, for raising livestock.

Everyone settled down, the veterans immediately gave them a dismount, and the chief of the battalion collected money from the recruits!

"To celebrate your arrival, you have to donate your money and buy wine for everyone to drink!"

The secretary was smiling, but the four shirtless veterans behind him, who looked like brown bears, with leather whips in their hands, looked at the recruits with bad intentions.

So the recruits obediently gave money to eliminate the disaster!

It was Budyonny's turn, and he gave 3 rubles.

"So little!" The secretary's eyes were very slippery, and he saw that Budyonny was hiding secrets, so he took the leather whip from the veteran next to him very dissatisfied, slapped it on Budyonny's back, and said, "Give you some color!" ”

The army of the Imperial Russian period had an extremely strict hierarchy, the commanders had absolute control over the soldiers, beatings and scolding were commonplace, and it was a miracle that recruits were not mistreated.

Caught off guard, Budyonny was whipped, and when the second whip came, he dodged away.

Seeing that his gait was as nimble as a fox, and that he had the strength of a bear, and sensing that he was not to be provoked, the third whip of the secretary did not come down, and he continued to collect rubles from other recruits with a curse in his mouth.

After collecting rubles, he went to buy alcohol, but the recruits were not qualified to go to the table for wine!

This is how life as a soldier began, and in the beginning, the recruits were often supported and abused by the veterans.

Cleaning the veterans' boots, washing clothes, washing toilets, collecting and making beds, running errands for veterans, etc., are all light, and the heavy is corporal punishment.

For example, in the "goose step", the soldiers pointed at the back of each other's heads and stood in a straight line.

They crouched down at the sergeant's command, jumping step by step.

If anyone fell (which was inevitable, you had to keep jumping without stopping) and the whole chain was broken, the sergeant immediately whipped the wrongdoer, took him to the horse, and forced him to gallop on a horse without a pedal.

Then there is the "small chair", which is tied by the tiger with his hands and feet to make a frog shape, which is quite common.

"Hand roasting", in which the abused person is tied hand and foot and fixed to a straight tube (usually a snorkel for tea) to keep the abducted person's body from being bent and always in a straight line, or tied to an elbow to keep the body in a bent state.

"Iron buckets", in which soldiers are placed in iron buckets, exposed to the scorching sun during the day when it is hot, and frozen in cold places when it is cold, is a method of abuse that can be used in summer and winter.

The winter in Russia is very terrible, and there is something to do about the abuse, the abused person wears a pair of shorts, douses cold water on his body, and stands in the cold wind and is not allowed to move!

The "bench", because of its simplicity, is struck on the head with a sitting wooden bench, and this method is often used for disobedient soldiers, and it is widely spread in various troops.

This trick is very powerful, the person's head is very fragile, a stool down, the possibility of people burping is extremely high, Lao Maozi is really Lao Maozi, and he doesn't care about the consequences.

As for beatings, punches, kicks, whips, and even beatings with iron nails were commonplace.

If you don't want to be beaten, you have to spend money to eliminate the disaster!

But it's not easy to give money, and it has become a mobile wallet for officers and veterans, serving them anytime and anywhere, buying cigarettes, alcohol, meat, etc., or paying for officers after finding a woman......

The abuse of recruits in the Russian army is a common practice, the officers also pay attention to demeanor, and the veterans are especially vicious, they want to double the abuse they have received as recruits before, and do everything they can, as a result, two of the recruits who joined this batch were killed and three were disabled!

Those who died died, and the veterans were fine at all, only to say that they died during training!

No one can hold them accountable, and neither do the officers.

Did anyone resist? Yes! But one of the dead was attacked by the veterans because of their resistance, and they were beaten to death!

Has Budyonny been wronged?

Beatings are common, but fortunately, they are all flesh wounds, until later he provoked the veteran Volkov, Volkov is a veteran who is about to be discharged, I don't know what's going on, he doesn't like anyone, and provoking his recruits is a punch and kick.

Last night it was freezing cold, and Budyonny came back from duty, called the door, and went in from the outside, and the cold wind blew into the barracks.

The shirtless Volkov hit two glances in a row, and he came over and asked Budyonny menacingly: "Why did you open the barracks door?" ”

Budyonny was puzzled: "I have to come in!" ”

"If you make me beat Ah Look, I will get a cold, I will get pneumonia, I will die of typhoid fever, all because of you!" Volkov said with a gloomy face.

"You're not good!" With a loud roar, he took the latch of the top door with his hand and gave it to Budyonny's head.

Do you have such excuses? Budyonny didn't expect him to make such a dead hand, and he fell down with hundreds of gold stars in his eyes at once.

……

Recalling this, Wei Guojie, who came from later generations, became Budyonny.

He remembered very well that the dealer said that what he wanted to sell him was a full set of St. George's Cross that Budyonny had acquired, and he had it in his hand, and he wore it, and such miraculous things had happened!

Why am I the one who crosses? Are those four medals really the ones that Budyonny personally received?

Could it be that Budyonny's heroic soul can't bear to see the red country he once fought bloodily and participated in the creation of disappears?

If it comes, it will be safe.

Your Excellency the Marshal of the Cavalry, I will not let your hard work go to waste!

Do whatever it takes to make her an unbreakable alliance that won't let her disintegrate!

From today onwards, I am Semyon Mikhailovich Budyonny!

Thinking of this, Wei Guojie felt that his body had a sense of relief!

……

The young man who cared about him was Budyonny's fellow countryman Victor, who grew up and joined the army together.

When people were away from home, the townspeople were reliable relations, and it was thanks to him that he put Budyonny on the military bed, called in a military doctor, and Victor gave him all the rubles that he had on him and all the rubles on Budyonny.

The military doctor, apparently experienced, gave Victor a bottle of medicinal wine, supposedly learned from the distant Qing Kingdom, soaked in tiger bone medicinal wine, and asked Victor to rub Budyonny's wounds.

This guy is a dead eye, and he has been rubbing Budyonny for hours, and his scalp is broken, maybe it's really good, but Budyonny thinks it's okay anyway.
