After coming out of Shaoyuren, Sun Yuan went to the barracks again, today is the first day of the new recruits entering the camp, and everything is difficult at the beginning. An army has its own temperament, and this temperament is reflected in the details.

When we arrived at the barracks, it was already dark, but the moon was very large, and there were lanterns lit everywhere in the barracks, so it was as bright as day.

As soon as he entered the arena, he saw a black head and a white human body in front of him, and when he looked closely, more than a thousand soldiers were stripped naked, revealing their rugged chests.

Then, someone brought buckets of water and ordered the soldiers to scrub their bodies.

In these years, there is no such thing as soap and soap, so each soldier is given a small piece of soap horn, and when he rubs it on his body, he can also see the foam, and the effect is also good.

Some people are so dirty that they even hold a small stone chip and scrape it on their bodies before using soap.

For a while, the sound of rushing water filled my ears, and the sewage flowed sideways, like a stream. Under the light, there was a layer of white unknown things floating on it, and I saw a layer of goosebumps on Sun Yuan's body.

Hygiene is still needed, so many people live together, the weather is hot, if you don't pay attention to cleanliness, if there is a plague, it will only take a few days to put down a large area.

Sun Yuan watched the school yard for a long time, and then turned around and asked Fei Hong: "Old Fei, how is the thatched house prepared, and how to deal with the feces?" ”

Fei Hong: "I have already dug two mouths, and there are forty squatting positions. As for human dung, the general does not have to worry. That's a treasure, and some farmers have long come to ask if they can come and pay for it every day. However, we also have a lot of land in thousands of households, and we don't have enough for ourselves! ”

"Yes, yes, yes, how can you be willing to cheapen others, and you can't give money." A general banner echoed: "The general has given the soldiers such good food, and the manure is applied to the ground, which is full of fertility." ”

Sun Yuan smiled: "I didn't expect this, I'm also worried." In addition, the sanitation of the barracks must be cleaned every day, and there must be no stagnant water in the gutters and gutters. ”

Fei Hong nodded: "General, don't worry, the internal affairs you mentioned have been written into the regulations." However......" he still had some doubts: "There are too many rules in the general's army, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with fighting, is it useful to make such trouble?" ”

Sun Yuan: "The army, to put it bluntly, the most important thing is discipline, and the word discipline should run through the entire daily life. It is necessary to make the soldiers accustomed to obeying the orders of the officers, and imperceptibly go to the battlefield to achieve orders and prohibitions. Perhaps, at the moment, it doesn't seem like so. Wait, two months at most, and you'll see a different army. ”

He smiled with snow-white teeth: "It's all about the details. ”

After bathing, the soldiers were not allowed to wear clothes, but ran bare-bottomed towards the dormitory.

Sun Yuan also walked over, and saw an officer standing in front of each dormitory, surrounded by several straw mats, piled with quilts, clothes, shoes and socks.

The officers shouted loudly and shouted, "Listen, everybody, line up according to the dormitory number." General Sun was gracious and gave each person two sets of clothes and a new quilt. ”

"Ah, the centralized training is still a quilt!" The naked soldiers opened their mouths wide and took the uniforms that the officers had handed them out, feeling like they were in a dream.

You must know that in these years, for poor military households, many people only have a few clothes in their whole family, one piece of clothing is new for three years, three years old, and another three years for sewing and mending, and it is common to wear him for more than ten years. One piece of clothing was enough for their whole family to feed for two months.

Someone shouted excitedly: "General Sun is really a living bodhisattva!" ”

"We are really lucky to have met such a good official!"

"I hope this training will be longer, I will eat well, and I will have new clothes to wear, and I don't want to go back."

……

Sun Yuan listened to the smile on his face, and smiled secretly in his heart: Wait a few days, as soon as you go to the training ground, I'm afraid you won't think so.

He turned around and asked Guan Tao: "Boss, the soldiers have handed over their luggage." ”

Guan Tao: "If you go back to the general, you have already handed it in." ”

"I can register it and keep it for others."

"The registration has been completed, and the villain and Guo Daodao have been busy for an hour, and they write softly." The boss couldn't help but shake his weak right hand and complained: "It's just some rags, and there are even straw ropes, and no one picks them up when they are thrown on the ground." ”

Sun Yuan: "No matter what, let's put away the soldiers' things, this is the rule in the army." Let's go inside and have a look. ”

Ningxiangjun put ten beds in each dormitory, which could accommodate twenty people.

There were two newly-made long tables with twenty wooden bowls the size of small basins, each with a pair of chopsticks.

An officer shouted at a soldier: "Chopsticks, put your chopsticks for me, while the chopsticks are facing due west." Stupid, due west...... The right hand, the right hand that enters the door, you always know! ”

"The quilt, the quilt is neatly placed in the middle of the bed!"

"Do you know in the middle, put it neatly, everyone watched me demonstrate how to press the quilt, and fold it into a tofu block."

"Housekeeping, tidying up housekeeping."

"No, let's break up and start over."

"If you can't do it, if you can't get out, you won't have a quilt tonight. Cool off for the night! ”

……

Not only in this dormitory, but also in other places in the barracks, there were also loud shouts and curses from the officers.

There was the sound of pressing the quilt everywhere.

On the second day, Sun Yuan still came to the barracks and inspected with Fei Hong and others.

According to Sun Yuan's arrangement, the main purpose of these two days was to familiarize the soldiers with the environment of the barracks and learn the rules and regulations.

Therefore, the main task of the barracks today is to hold meetings, and the officers repeatedly explain to the soldiers the rules and regulations of the barracks until they are crammed into their heads.

This kind of preaching is held once in the morning, noon and evening, and the rest of the time cannot be made idle, so they will straighten out the housekeeping, and to put it bluntly, they will learn to press the quilt.

On the third day, I still pressed the quilt.

At first, the soldiers found the training easy. Every day, I listened to the speeches of the officials, and then I kept folding the quilts, and everyone was used to doing farm work, which was not even very light physical labor. Moreover, the food is good, half a pound of rice in the morning, a pound of rice at noon, two dishes of one meat and one vegetarian, and a little worse in the evening, two vegetarians. This kind of life is simply the New Year!

However, after pressing the quilt for two days, everyone was annoyed, this thing was too boring. Moreover, you can't talk while pressing the quilt, otherwise, the officer will be drawn with a stick.

The most annoying thing is that pressing the quilt is not easy to complete, according to the officers, it must be pressed like a tofu block and the edges and corners must be seen. Otherwise, they will be sprayed with saliva by the officers again.

***********************************************

After two busy days, after seeing the recruits gradually get used to the life in the barracks, Sun Yuan began to train officers.

It is said that it is training, but in fact, it is to teach everyone to know more than 1,000 commonly used words, at least so that everyone can understand the "Infantry Drill Code" written by themselves.

As far as the cadres at hand of Sun Yuan are concerned, that is, the two dozen or so old men under Boss Guan, Guo Daodao and Fei Hong.

Long before the centralized training of recruits, Sun Yuan had already asked Fei Hong's officers to memorize the drill code. Among this group of people, there are only a few words of Fei Hong, Qiang Donkey and Wen Laosanzhi, and the others are all illiterate. They may be able to serve as low-level officers, but once the ranks are expanded, with their level of education, it will be a little difficult to lead the troops and become qualified senior officers. Rather than being mercilessly eliminated by the army at that time, it is better to strengthen learning from now on.

It was already dark, and the hall of the Ningxiang Thousand Households was brightly lit, and there were ten tables set up in it, and the officers of each team were sitting on stools, holding a brush in their hands, and writing awkwardly on the paper.

"People, mouths, hands, sun, moon, and days."

"Look at this word drought, there is a day at the top, and a dry at the bottom. As soon as the sun came out, the earth was dried up, and there was a drought. ”

"Look at this good word again, here is a woman, and on the right is a son. A family, a woman, a child, that's a good life. ”

……

"Ah, I see, I see."

"It seems that this literacy is not very difficult."

The officers below all whispered, and all of them looked excited. You know, in the Ming Dynasty, if you want to read and write, it is not so easy. First of all, you have to have the money to go to a private school, and to go to a private school, you have to pay ten taels of silver for a year's tuition.

Now, the general actually gave everyone literacy in person, and it was free, if he didn't study it seriously, wouldn't he have wasted the ten taels of silver?

Moreover, General Sun's lectures were vivid and interesting, and he could immediately remember a word after he dismantled it like this. Unlike Guo Daodao, the birdman, who came up with a "learn and learn", the ghost knows what he is talking about.

……

After all, it is a person who has fought all his life on the battlefield, and the officers are still very unaccustomed to lifting the pen.

A small pen, falling into their hands, is like a thousand gold weight, writing a few words crookedly, and they are all sweating profusely with nervousness.

Sun Yuan was amused in his heart, and he also felt that it was very troublesome to go to class like this every day. It seems that when I have the opportunity to invite a reader to be a teacher in the future. Now, let's teach it for the time being.

Kankan finished teaching twenty new words, and today is here, and it is not too early to see the time, Sun Yuan announced that he would leave school.

Everyone got up and was about to leave, but the donkey said: "General, this recruit has been in the camp for two days, and he spends his days learning military rules and rectifying internal affairs, which is boring." I understand the truth of learning military regulations, and people do not stand without rules. However, this pressure quilt really has no reason, and the last general can't figure it out. ”

The donkey's voice was loud, and the other officers stopped at the same time.

"What's wrong?" Sun Yuan asked.

Donkey: "This quilt really doesn't make much sense, not only does it have to be folded neatly, but it also has to be like a tofu block, is this necessary?" We are soldiers, and the most important thing to be a soldier is to practice the martial arts that can go into battle against the enemy. No matter how well you press the quilt, even if you press the corners like knives, and go to the battlefield, is it possible to still hold the quilt to kill? According to the last general, with this kind of work, it is better to let everyone take weapons and practice more. ”

"yes." Someone whispered in agreement.
