At dawn, Lou Jiye vaguely returned to the old house of Yiwu Xia Yan, and his grandfather, who had always loved him since he was a child and had never discriminated against his status as a concubine, was sitting in the main hall waiting for him. Although he didn't know why his grandfather, who had been dead for many years, was there, his cousins and nephews surrounded him so much that he didn't have time to think about it.

Finally getting rid of this group of relatives who were proud to touch his armor, Lou Jiye hurriedly walked into the main hall. In the main hall, in addition to his grandfather and father, there are also many elders of Xia Yanlou's family, as long as he knows almost all of them, and they are just waiting for him to go home.

Lou Jiye stepped into the door of the main hall, hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down in front of his grandfather, and kowtowed respectfully a few times.

"The descendants of Xiao Lou Jiye, who have been away from home for more than ten years, are fortunate not to be dishonored, and have now followed Chen Dashuai to successfully recover the two capitals. The Son of Heaven gave my family a loyal and brave heirloom archway, and awarded hereditary titles and military positions, and the children came to their grandfathers, fathers and uncles and elders to return their lives. ”

"Good! It is worthy of the descendants of my Lou family. ”

Looking at his comforting grandfather, Lou Jiye suddenly felt that the hardships of these years must not have been in vain, and he finally got a reward. Yes, it's finally a homecoming.

At this moment, the sound of drums was faintly heard outside the old mansion. Lou Jiye frowned, the archway was set up before, but the auspicious time has not yet arrived, and it should be a cannon instead of a drum, which idiot did this good thing?

Lou Jiye listened carefully, the frequency of the drum was very familiar, as if he had heard it yesterday, it seemed to be the sound of the drum.

Drum drums?

Drum up!

The surrounding scene immediately became fragmented, Lou Jiye opened his eyes violently, and sat up from the kang in the barracks suddenly.

"Soldiers! Hurry up! ”

Saying that, Lou Jiye didn't care about the quilt on his body, jumped up directly, and went up to give the two captains who were sleeping on his left and right one by one.

Lou Jiye's two feet are not small, the burly Niu Ping'an is okay to say, just as a reminder, and the other Wu Chang, who is holding a rattan waist knife in the mandarin duck array, is still in his sleep, and the sentence "Oops" immediately called out.

According to the selection criteria of the Mandarin Duck Formation, rattan players should be young and convenient, and their hands and feet should not be hard, and to put it bluntly, they are required to be flexible. Under such a standard, rattan players generally do not have a particularly advantageous physique, but fortunately, the Mandarin Duck Formation itself is a formation that emphasizes cooperation, and personal strength and martial arts are not very important.

The rattan player rubbed his thigh where he was kicked by Lou Jiye, and quickly sat up, but he only saw the back of Lou Jiye rushing out of the door. He cursed in a low voice, and at the same time secretly glad that this kick didn't hit the roots of the descendants. Then, together with Niu Ping'an, who had already gotten up, he called all the members of the killer team, put on their military uniforms and helmets, and went out to form a team.

Lou Jiye, who woke up the non-commissioned officers of the team, hurriedly ran to smash the doors of the other three teams of the outpost, but fortunately, according to Chen Wen's regulations, in order to facilitate the response, the four teams of each outpost had to arrange the barracks as close as possible, which also made him not have to run too far to smash the door. Although he is not the sentry commander of the first sentry, and even no one in Chen Wen's camp has yet sat in the position of sentry commander, Lou Jiye feels that this position will definitely be his in a short time, and he may even become the first sentry commander of this battalion.

Lou Jiye, who was already running for four, could still see that Chen Wen was very optimistic about him since he entered the camp, after all, a literate and martial arts disciple like him definitely stood out in this camp. At the same time, he also knew very well that he had quite a prestige among the Jinhua people in this camp, and even Wu Dengke, who had already sat in the thousandth year, could not compare, which was both an advantage and a disadvantage.

has been in the army for many years, Lou Jiye can understand very well, as the main general, he must sharpen his temperament, which is the way to be a general. It was precisely because Chen Wen did not promote him at the first time that he had a higher regard for Chen Wen, at least this general was not so confident that he needed to rely on his official position to win over his subordinates who were popular but had not yet proved his loyalty.

As for himself, Lou Jiye was not worried at all, Chen Wen gave him the feeling that he was a military general who did not attach much importance to martial arts, but to execution ability and military art literacy. Especially when he learned that Wu Dengke had been using his meal time to go to the grain depot recently to beg that Sun Juren to talk about "Zuo Chuan", and even more when he was learning to recognize some simple words, this feeling deepened his feelings even more.

To sum up, Lou Jiye felt that he would definitely be promoted, it was only a matter of time. Moreover, Chen Wen had already hinted at him, and this made him even more determined to help Chen Wen bring this whistle well, which was also a way to prove his loyalty after all. Besides, he is only helping to wake up now, and he is not instructing others to do anything, which is not a taboo thing.

After finishing the team in front of the barracks, Lou Jiye and the other three captains walked to the west school field with the four queues of the first outpost, and they were notified yesterday that they would not practice weapons today, so all the officers and soldiers of the first sentry went out empty-handed.

For the officers and soldiers of the other three teams of the first outpost, Lou Jiye's smashing of the door did not cause them unhappiness, but they were still very grateful to Lou Jiye. Because according to military law, during the training period, those who are late will be whipped, and if one person is late and the whole team sits in a row, the captain and captain of the team will be punished; If it's during the battle, the late soldier means that he can say goodbye to the head.

This is no joke!

Reaping the gratitude of everyone, Lou Jiye believes that one day he will be able to stand out from these colleagues, and one day he will be able to become a well-known general. At that time, as long as he can recover Jinhua Mansion, he should be able to return to his hometown.

As soon as the second drum was played, the first post had already arrived at the school ground, and they thought they would be the first to arrive, but they ended up lining up behind the cavalry and firearms teams.

Although his subordinates were the first to arrive at the school and assembled, Li Ruixin's face was still cold.

Not to mention the firearms team, he knew that sooner or later this team would have to be handed over to the command of other military commanders, after all, it was impossible for him to lead the cavalry charge and command the firearms team to shoot at the same time. Speaking of the cavalry team alone, these days when he went up the mountain, he was almost always with these future cavalrymen except for going to participate in military meetings.

Since he was a personal soldier in Huang Degong's army, Li Ruixin has been very clear. Cavalry is not just a charge on horseback.

As cavalry, you have to send scouts to find out what is going on around you; When marching, you need to know the road and the terrain; Before the battle, it is necessary to understand the opponent's banner, and find out all useful things such as the enemy's strength, the composition of the troops, and the way of array; After the battle, it is necessary to suppress the opponent's cavalry, and be ready to rush the enemy at any time; At the end of the battle, if you win, you have to pursue, after all, the two-legged infantry can't count on it, and if you lose, you have to cover the commander's retreat.

The cavalry seems to be riding a high-headed horse in front of the people, swaggering through the market, so imposing, but who is not a cavalryman knows that when the other branches of the army are sleeping, the cavalry has to estimate the time to get up and feed the horses. You know, for cavalry, communicating with the horse is a part of horsemanship, and it is just as important as archery, martial arts, and knowledge as a scout for the army.

Yesterday, the old camp sent the war horse, and Li Ruixin began to teach these men, who had only ridden mules before, how to get along with the war horse, such as not being able to stand behind the butt of the war horse, when to loosen the belly belt, when to tighten the belly belt, how to use the reins correctly, and so on. Of course, the most important thing is to get them into the habit of feeding the horses at night first.

Last night, Li Ruixin estimated the time and rushed into the barracks, smashed up these quasi-cavalrymen who were sleeping soundly one by one, and then supervised them to feed their horses before returning to feed their own dark clouds and snow. Leading the troops, how can it be possible to catch up with the stupid ones and not teach them a few times, he has long been mentally prepared. But this morning, the recruits still choked on him.

This morning, Li Ruixin rushed to the cavalry barracks before beating the drums, and he could not bear the fact that the soldiers he led were overtaken by others. However, the boy did not sleep well because he had gone to feed the horses last night, so that he had just gotten up one team, and the other team had fallen asleep in his uniform.

As a cavalryman, you don't even have any self-discipline, so do you have to sleep enough before you get up to fight when the enemy attacks? In a fit of rage, Li Ruixin simply took the horsewhip and pulled the sleeping soldiers out of the barracks one by one.

In his opinion, this is also under the command of a good-natured general like Chen Wen, if it is in the Yasukuni Gonghuang Degong Army, this kind of soldier piercing arrows and parade camps is light, and he should be pulled out and beheaded to show the public, so as to set an example!

In contrast, Wu Dengke, who came to the school field before the third drum beat, was much luckier.

After listening to the art of war class last night, he emphasized the things Chen Wen explained to his subordinates when he was patrolling the camp, and he agreed with the military law that strictly prohibits plundering the people from the bottom of his heart, and this is not just because he is a child of the Qi family's army.

Although Wu Dengke rebelled in his early years, he always felt that he was doing the right thing for heaven at that time, whether it was following Xu Du or being with the remnants of Xu Du, he felt that as long as he killed all the corrupt officials and corrupt officials, he could save more people from the misery and misery of his youth.

However, before the corrupt officials were killed, the Qing army came again. Not to mention these Tartars who kill people and set fires, what is even more hateful is that they seem to have come to support those corrupt officials and corrupt officials. After having this feeling, Wu Dengke did not hesitate to take the township party into Yin Can's army, in order to eliminate all these Tartars who interfered with his serious work.

Among Yin Canjun, some of his practices to protect the poor were not popular, so he was ostracized. It is precisely because of these actions that he will befriend Sun Yu. After Yin Can's death, Sun Yu told him about the deeds of the Ming Army of Dalan Mountain, which made him regain a glimmer of hope, and after coming here, even if he was excluded, even if he was lured, he did not think about leaving, because he kept this hope.

After getting to know Chen Wen, Wu Dengke was quickly attracted by Chen Wen's endless historical stories, especially the day when he told Ming Taizu, he was drunk and lay on the bed with tears in his eyes, dreaming that one day he would be able to get rid of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and he could fulfill his dream of being a young man and become a famous general who was not inferior to his great-grandfather's brother Wu Weizhong. How nice it would be if that day really were.

Soon, Chen Wen, whom he admired and admired, was appointed guerrilla general and could be reorganized into a new battalion. Wu Dengke tried his best to win over acquaintances, and even whether the person was from Jinhua or not, as long as his understanding and physical fitness could meet the standards, he even lobbied Lou Jiye, who looked down on each other, which was really not easy for him, a man who was not as sharp as Chen Wen.

At the end of the camp patrol last night, he returned to the room that he was only qualified to enjoy as an officer, and looked at the words he asked for from Sun Yu, and let out a burst of smirk, and this excitement directly caused him to fall asleep very late. After these days of study, he has been able to accurately recognize the four words in front of him, which makes him unhappy.

Wu Dengke believes that sooner or later, one day, he can also read the military book by himself, just like Chen Wen and Lou Jiye, and what an exciting thing it will be. He felt that only by being able to read the military book and "Spring and Autumn" in person could he have the opportunity to become a famous general.

This day will definitely come.

Time passed quickly, the three-way drum had already been beaten, Chen Wen stood on the point platform and looked at the killer team who had just entered the queue with an angry face, and shouted: "The fifteenth killer team of Ding Whistle is out of the ranks!" ”

Hearing this, the killer team that had just entered the queue walked out tremblingly and stood directly in front of the queue.

"The general knew that you were all new recruits, and they were not yet suitable for entering the camp, so they did not ask anyone to assemble within a drum according to the requirements of the elite of the Qiyang Wang's army back then. Therefore, this general stipulates that 10 days before entering the camp, officers and non-commissioned officers can be regarded as qualified if they gather within the three drums. ”

"Today is the first day of the camp's formal training, the fifteenth killer team of Ding Whistle has not yet assembled, your assembly speed is planning to wait until the Tartars have killed all the robes on the battlefield in the future, and then come out to die, right? Tell me out loud! ”

Hearing this, the officers and men of the 15th Killer Brigade, who were already trembling, were even more frightened, and they immediately fell to their knees and repeated vigorously: "I dare not dare to do my job, I dare not ...... my humble position."

"Don't dare?" Chen Wen's face was even more angry. "What are Article 5 and Article 11 of the Code of Martial Arts? The captain of the fifteenth killer team stood up and answered! ”

Hearing Chen Wen's question, the captain stood up, bowed down and replied: "Article 5 of the regulations, during the training period, those who fail to pass the drums will be whipped fifty, the whole team will sit in a row, and the officers will be punished; Article 11 of the Military Law stipulates that during the conquest, those who fail to pass the drums will be punished as deserters, beheaded and shown to the public, and the whole team will be flogged 50 times, and the officers of the team will be demoted. ”

After hearing this answer, Chen Wen's anger dropped a little. "I remember it's familiar. You should thank your captain, and if he doesn't memorize it, the whole team will be punished twice as much according to the last article of the regulations. ”

After that, Chen Wen shouted loudly: "The fifteenth killer team of Ding Whistle collectively violated Article 5 of the regulations and was punished with fifty lashes, and the captain and captain were not effective in leading the troops, and they were punished with sixty lashes, which will be executed immediately!" Are you not convinced? ”

"Humble and obedient." As he spoke, the team of officers and soldiers stood up and followed the pacifiers to the execution area on the side of the school grounds.

At this time, Yin Yue, who was standing in front of Ding Whistle and Wu Whistle, seemed to remember something, only to see him gritted his teeth and strode up.

"General Qiyu, I have also had a humble position in this matter, and I am willing to accept military law together." Saying that, Yin Yue bowed his hand.

"Oh?"

"Last night, the lowly post explained the military law to Ding Sentinel, and it was too late for the fifteenth killer team, and the lowly duty was afraid that he would not be able to finish the explanation today, so he pulled the calming soldiers to continue the explanation, so that the fifteenth killer team could not sleep at the time specified in the regulations, so please punish the general."

Seeing that Yin Yue's expression did not seem to be fake, Chen Wendeng understood his intentions, and then said: "There is no regulation in the regulations for officers to interfere with the rest of the soldiers on duty, since Yin Qian is willing to share the responsibility, you will subtract five lashes from each person, and record it on Yin Qianzong, only this once, not as an example." Mr. Yin Qian was whipped thirty today, and he will be punished after the injury is healed. ”

Hearing that Chen Wen had revised the punishment, not only did the officers and soldiers who were punished show their gratitude to Yin Yue, but even most of the other officers and soldiers present were moved. Among these people, only Li Ruixin seemed quite disdainful, while Lou Jiye just smiled and shook his head.

At this moment, Yin Yue breathed a long sigh of relief, bowed down and thanked: "General Xie is considerate. ”

After seeing everyone's reactions, Chen Wen then said: "Yin Qian is always reluctant to blame, and is willing to share hardships with his subordinates, which is a good thing, and he will be very pleased." But we must remember that we can only win the battle by sharing hardships, and leading the soldiers well is the right way! ”

"Obey the general's teachings."

………………

Meanwhile.

A garrison in the middle battalion turned over in the quilt and scolded: "This surnamed Chen is really a bastard, he doesn't sleep at this hour to get up to practice, he really thinks that those recruits who have just entered the camp can beat Lao Tzu and these veterans in just a month of training?" Pipe dream! ”
