Chapter 1254: Ten Days of Intensive Training
Zhao Erga listened to the words of the thief general, and the cold sweat on his back came down. He knew in his heart that this gang of thieves was not a joke, and the most fierce bullies on the dock and more than 100 big and small leaders who could fight and kill were all slaughtered by this gang of thieves.
The corpses had been hanging in the city for a few days, and there were still hundreds of heads piled up on the docks outside the city.
Now Zhao Erga suddenly felt like he had entered a thief's den, and he felt a little regretful for the first time.
The other homeless people were also in the same mood, standing there trembling one by one, their faces were also white, they were snorting and sweating all over their bodies, and their backs were soaked.
The general of the thief army gave them a cold look, very pleased with their frightened looks. Then he said in a deep voice: "That's all I have to say today, get a good night's sleep today, and start training tomorrow." ”
When the thief general left, Zhao Erga and a group of homeless people had weak legs and sat on the ground one after another. The words of the thief just now still lingered in their ears, and they also became uneasy.
Then no one spoke in the granary, and everyone lay on their bedding, silently thinking about their thoughts. A few timid ones even whimpered.
In the evening, the door of the granary was pushed open again, and a dozen thieves walked in carrying several large wooden barrels. A group of homeless people looked at the sharp rice in the wooden barrel, and the steaming vegetable soup could faintly smell a long-lost smell of meat, and their eyes suddenly straightened.
Even when the Linqingzhou Canal Wharf was the busiest, they got up early and worked late for a year, and the hard-earned money could only make their families barely fill their stomachs, and if they wanted to eat meat, they could only think about it.
"It's all over for dinner......"
When a group of homeless people heard this, they jumped up from the bunk and rushed over to scramble. The thieves next to him were really not used to the problem, and raised their rifles and smashed several homeless people to the ground with the butts of their rifles.
"Why line up, if anyone shoots again, cancel dinner today......"
As soon as the words of the non-commissioned officer of the Far East Army fell, a group of homeless people immediately lined up in an orderly manner, but their eyes were staring at the big wooden barrels in front of them.
Finally, it was Zhao Erga's turn, he made a bowl full of rice and a bowl of broth full of oil and water, and sat next to him and ate it beautifully.
He hadn't eaten it in years, the fragrant white rice, and the thick soup stewed with meat and vegetables were so delicious. Zhao Erga's broth turned out to be two thick slices of fatty meat, and he almost bit his tongue off when he ate it.
In this era, the hard-pressed people at the bottom can't eat meat a few times in their lives, let alone enough white rice. Anyway, Zhao Erga had never enjoyed such treatment, so today he ate three bowls of white rice and two large bowls of broth, which made his stomach swollen and he had a hard time walking.
The other homeless people were also like bears, lying on their bunks after eating, reminiscing about the dinner just now.
"Fourth uncle, is the thief army going to go on the expedition, I heard that before the army fights, they will also give a good meal."
"Then this meal, isn't it our severed head meal......"
"Put your mother's fart, what kind of decapitated rice, a few years ago in Henan, half a moldy cake could buy a human life. Don't be afraid, I don't think it's that simple, I haven't heard of such a meal for the people before the war. Even before the Ming official army went out, they couldn't eat such a meal. ”
Listening to the words of the fourth uncle, the homeless people in the granary suddenly came to their senses, gathered around the fourth uncle, and chatted noisily.
Zhao Erga didn't go to join in the fun, but after listening to the words of the fourth uncle, he felt that it was not so simple. This kind of food, even if it is raising soldiers, is enough to make people sell their lives, and for them as people, it's not enough.
He thought about it for a while, but he didn't come up with anything, and for the first time in a few days, he felt sleepy, and he didn't even take off his clothes, so he fell asleep unconsciously.
"Didi...... Tick ......"
A hurried whistle broke the silence of the early morning. also woke up the sleeping Zhao Erga, and there was a loud voice from yesterday's general in the granary.
"It's time to get up, hurry up...... I'll give you a stick of incense, and I'll give you all the time to gather outside. If someone hasn't made a profit, Lao Tzu will beat him to death. ”
Listening to his words, Zhao Erga hurriedly got up from the bed, fortunately he didn't take off his clothes yesterday, and was the first to rush out of the granary In the next ten days, Zhao Erga experienced the most difficult period of his life.
Every day before dawn, he was called up, and then he circled around this granary over and over again, running every day until he was exhausted. The day is even more difficult, and if you don't do anything else for a few hours, you just walk in line, or you stand under the sun and fight for two hours.
As soon as someone dared to move, several fierce officers and soldiers of the Far East would immediately rush over, and they would be whipped to their heads and faces. Hundreds of homeless people are about to be pumped stupid.
The instructors of these homeless people come from the ruffians of overseas divisions, and their training ability is not very good, but the means of rectifying the people are endless. So in just ten days, the level of the queue is already the same, and the most important thing is that the organizational discipline of these people has definitely improved greatly, at least they can do the banning.
Although hundreds of displaced people spend their days in dire straits, they all grit their teeth and persevere. For in their eyes, all the hardships they endured were worth it compared to three full meals a day.
There was enough white rice to eat, and they could drink broth at noon every day, and now they felt that it was worth dying the next day. Some even hope that such ordeals will continue, and that they will be able to endure even the hardships.
After three full meals a day, the evening is also their happiest day. Because after dinner, some thieves will teach them stories.
These thieves were completely different from those instructors during the day, all of them had pleasant faces and smiles. They weren't the fierce instructors, they would sit with everyone and talk about family life and tell stories.
Although it was only a short period of ten days, Zhao Erga knew a lot of things, at least he understood why they, the common people, had suffered and been poor for generations.
He also knew that the name of this unit was the Far Eastern Army, which was the army of the common people, and the meaning of its existence was to ensure that the people of the whole world, every household could have enough to eat, and live a good life of "three acres of land and two cows, and a wife and children with hot kang heads".
Not only that, but the ultimate goal of the Far Eastern Army is to make the common people of the whole world literate and able to count, and also to make the children of the poor people in the world able to afford to read.
Although the ten days were a short time, it gave hundreds of displaced people who participated in the training a sense of rebirth, and they suddenly discovered that only when the Far Eastern Army sat in this world, could they, the poor people at the lowest level, live a good life.
