Chapter 139: Morning Exercise
Sun Yuan stood in front of the snare drum today, dressed in a new military uniform.
The two soldiers were playing drums separately, but after beating for a long time, they still didn't see anyone coming out of the dormitory.
It wasn't until Chen Tieshan next to him yelled unbearably that there was a noise in the dormitory, some people were shouting, some people were scolding, and some people accidentally knocked over the table...... It couldn't be more chaotic.
Sun Yuan shook his head helplessly, the drums had been beating for several minutes, and no one had left the house fully dressed.
After waiting for a long time, I finally saw a soldier running to the school field in a panic, looking at Sun Yuan on the stage with a confused expression. Some want to kneel and kowtow, while others rub their eyes in confusion.
Chen Tieshan was furious, and stepped forward and kicked the soldiers who were about to kneel a few times: "Hear the drums, the army gathers, don't kneel, don't kneel!" Line up! ”
But for a while, how did this rabble come up with a formation. Some people to the east and others to the west crowded together, and they couldn't move like dumplings in the next pot, and everywhere there were angry shouts and curses from the officers of the general flag.
Fei Hong lowered his head in shame: "General, your subordinates are incompetent and didn't bring your soldiers well." ”
In fact, Sun Yuan was not surprised by the soldiers' performance today. The recruits have only been in the camp for two days, and they have just finished understanding the rules of the army, and they have not gone through the queue training. He also did not expect that the military household, who was still farming in the fields two days ago, would become a well-disciplined and mighty army today, which is neither scientific nor objective.
He smiled: "Fei Hong, it's not your fault, just strengthen your training in the future." ”
Hearing Sun Yuan's comfort, Fei Hong and the others felt better.
Sun Yuan waited on the stage for another half a day, and after about twenty minutes, the thousand men and horses were counted into ten small phalanxes. However, it still looks crooked and skewed. Many of the soldiers were in a hurry and had no clothes on, and some were even barefoot.
According to the regulations of the modern army of later generations, within three minutes of waking up and blowing the trumpet, all soldiers must put on their clothes and run into the school yard and line up.
And his own troops, it took so long. Fortunately on weekdays, if he goes to the battlefield and encounters an enemy attack, the only thing he, the boss, can do is to find a fast horse and escape.
He still couldn't help but look in the direction of the sixth team, and his eyes couldn't help but fall on Shao Wei.
To tell the truth, Shao Wei's martial arts are good, he has courage, and his cultural quality is high, Sun Yuan still has high hopes for this prospective brother-in-law. However, this kid is really rebellious and has to be polished in the army.
At first glance, Sun Yuan was stunned. I saw that Shao Wei was dressed very neatly, and he looked very energetic, not as flustered as other soldiers.
I was a little relieved.
He didn't know that Shao Wei hadn't slept at all last night because he had wet the quilt with water, and as soon as the drum sounded, he jumped off the bed and jumped off the ground, quickly dressed and ran out of the door.
It's too cold on the bed, so it's better to go out as soon as possible.
Sun Yuan was better, but Fei Hong was already furious. Seeing that his face was ugly, the flag leaders standing in front of their respective teams were all red.
Seeing that the line was finally lined up, the drumming stopped.
Sun Yuan took a deep breath and shouted: "The order in the army, beat the drums, and collect the troops, this is the military order." In the past two days, all of you have studied the regulations of the army, and the regulations say that when the drum sounds, the whole army must be assembled within one pass. But today, it's all three drums, but you still can't line up. To be honest, General Ben was disappointed, very disappointed. ”
He walked up to the team, and his voice became louder and louder: "The sky and the earth are big, and the rules are the greatest. The army is the most disciplined place, and you must know all about the regulations after studying the regulations for two days. Chen Tieshan, you are a military judge, tell me, how should you punish this situation today? ”
Chen Tieshan ran to Sun Yuan and shouted: "Report to the general, get up and beat the drums, the troops fail to assemble within one pass, and they will be punished for twenty laps around the school field!" ”
"Ah, twenty laps." The soldiers below were in an uproar.
The school field of Ningxiang Institute runs a lap of about 400 meters, 20 laps, and it is 16 miles away.
This commotion made the flag bosses angry and scolded loudly again: "Quiet, quiet, do you want to eat military sticks?"
Sun Yuan: "Okay, all the soldiers listen, they will be punished for running twenty laps today." Officers who are not strict in leading their troops will also be punished accordingly. General Ben, as an officer of a thousand households, is not exempt from punishment, and today, he should be at the forefront. Listen, come with me! ”
As he spoke, he was the first to run out.
Seeing that the old man of the thousand households began to run, everyone was shocked in their hearts, and felt that the new thousand households seemed to be different from the previous official master. You must know that in the past, thousands of households only gathered everyone together for two days of training every year. And on those two days, the eldest lord would take a lazy walk around the arena when he got three strokes on the day. During the entire training camp, I couldn't see both sides of him at all.
But this Sun Qianhu took the lead in running ahead, and he ran twenty laps in one lap, how can there be such a chief in the world?
"Run!"
"Run!"
Seeing that Sun Yuan had started running, the head of the Baihu Banner was also anxious, and they all lifted their sticks and pumped their own teams.
More than a thousand people finally moved, and ran forward with Sun Yuan in confusion, and the sound of footsteps was also chaotic.
After about a lap, everyone started to sweat.
After another four laps, some people began to stagger, heavy breathing sounded, and some people began to gasp for breath.
Sun Yuan roared loudly: "What's the matter, you can't run for only four miles, if you go to the battlefield, you don't even have the capital to escape, let alone fight." Cheer up, don't mess up, listen to my orders, one-two-one-two, one-two-one-two......"
With Sun Yuan's roar, his footsteps began to be neat.
Strange to say, with Sun Yuan's shouting of the password to run, everyone didn't seem to be so tired.
"What's the matter, haven't you eaten, shout at me, one-two, one-two!"
"One-two, one-two......" thousands of people shouted at the same time.
"The voice is too low for me to hear, one-two, one-two, one-two-three-four!"
"One, two, three, four!" At this moment, everyone straightened their necks and yelled with all their strength.
Running, especially long-distance running, the most important thing is to adjust the breath, the steps should not be chaotic, and there needs to be a certain rhythm.
After Sun Yuangang crossed over to the Ming Dynasty, his body was extremely weak, and it can be said that it is not too much to describe him as a thin monkey. In the past year, he has been training every day, and with big fish and meat to replenish him, this 8,000-meter run does not find it difficult for him.
However, the other soldiers were miserable. These ordinary military households eat coarse tea and light rice every day, and they can see meat twice a month, even if they have a good family background. And the bowls of dry rice at each meal can't provide any calories at all. All, as soon as they run, they started to do well, and when they passed the ten laps, they all staggered, fell behind, and fell down.
Some people are so tired that they vomit up the dinner they ate yesterday.
Looking at Sun Yuan, who was still running in front of him, some people couldn't help but stick out their tongues, and they were horrified: How can this Master Sun run so well, he is worthy of being an officer of a thousand households!
In my heart, I suddenly felt a sense of awe for this old man Sun, who was always smiling when he saw someone.
Finally finished the four thousand meters, and Sun Yuan stopped.
The soldiers behind him fell down at the same time, lying on the ground panting, sweat gushing out like a spring.
Sun Yuan only gasped a few times, turned around and shouted: "According to the regulations of our army, soldiers must travel eight miles to eat after getting up every day. The reason why you have traveled sixteen miles today is to punish you for being late, and if you continue to delay like this tomorrow, you will still be punished as such. Got it? ”
At this point, the soldiers did not even have the strength to speak.
"Okay, all stand up and go into the room to eat!"
Today, because it is the first day of formal recruit training, the room specially added vegetables. Two bowls of brown rice, and a bowl of fragrant broth for one person, each with a lump of about one tael of fatty meat.
In the old days, the cafeteria would have been in a mess for a long time.
Today, being tossed by Sun Yuan, everyone was so tired that they had no strength, no one spoke, they all lined up honestly, received their breakfast, and silently returned to their positions to bow their heads and eat.
"Wow!" After eating a few bites, Shao Wei spit out all the sour water in his abdomen. I was so tired that my whole body seemed to be falling apart, and my lungs thought it was overfired, and it hurt raw.
"Brother Shao, if you can't finish eating, give it to me!" A soldier reached out and brought Shao Wei's broth.
Shao Wei wanted to be angry, but he couldn't lift the slightest spirit.
