Section 96 Countdown (6)

Military etiquette is not a unique thing in later generations, any ancient country in the world has unique regulations, the military etiquette recorded in the East began in the Zhou Dynasty, it is second only to the aristocratic etiquette of the great etiquette component, and the Western record is a little later, the ancient Greeks began to record the norms of military etiquette, of course, this judgment is not accurate, earlier than the ancient Egyptian pharaoh Ramses II drove a golden chariot against the Hittites, It shows that the ancient Egyptians of that period also attached great importance to the image of the army.

It's just that many things are not recorded and cannot be judged by future generations.

In this era, the Romans (Byzantines) made the most clear and strict rules of etiquette in the army, Lao Luo had seen some in Constantinople, and the original gladiators had the deepest experience, but they were unwilling to learn the etiquette of the Roman soldiers, the reason is needless to say.

Lao Luo's specifications for his new recruit are much more detailed than those of the Romans, although they cannot compare with the harshness of the honor guards of later generations, but they are by no means comparable to the ancient armies of this period. It includes all the details of the standing posture, the queue posture, the marching norms, and the etiquette of the upper and lower levels of the army, which is the first thing that Lao Luo arbitrarily enforces, although many people don't take it seriously at first.

An army is not just good at fighting. The etiquette rules at Westpoint in the USA are stricter and more hierarchical than those at the Army Academy in CHN.

Brave or superior soldiers can only be said to be strong individuals, many strong individual fighters together, can also be said to be a strong combat group, without centralized faith and perfect military discipline can only be said to be a rabble, Lao Luo's purpose is to establish a formal army with a sense of honor and belonging from the beginning, although it seems that this is a bit early at present.

In the earliest days, Lao Luo only gave guidance to the former gladiators who trained the recruits, and then asked them to teach the recruits to execute, and now when the recruits begin to show a different demeanor from this era, all the former gladiators also began to pay attention to the difference in military etiquette.

People tend to be inclined to beautiful things, and it has nothing to do with social status or even professional gender. No one likes to be called a barbarian, and along with dozens of recruit instructors and recruits, the performance of a "civilized person" is a trait that is ahead of its time. Under the constraints of instruction and military discipline, they always maintained a posture with their heads held high, their jaws slightly tucked and their marching stride determined, all of which began to infect everyone around them.

Now, not only the former gladiators under Lao Luo, who originally did not pay attention to manners, but also the recruits' families and the craftsmen in the camp began to involuntarily imitate the recruits' every move, and even a few times Cheng Shouru brought the sergeants guarding the city to watch the recruits' etiquette and standard exercises.

"General, the pots and utensils carried by the recruits' families are not enough......" Olki guarded the posture of the army, since Lao Luo decided to start popularizing etiquette among the recruits, he has never relaxed himself, although the days of following this master are not long, but he knows better than anyone how extraordinary this master is, as a Bulgarian of Thracian blood, he believes that the master he chooses is more mysterious and great than the legendary Helios.

"Well, arrange for the recruits to be divided into teams, and the family members will eat together, so as not to keep the family members busy by themselves. By the way, is wood and food enough? Looking at the demeanor of professional soldiers shown by Alki and Mnaqi, Lao Luo was very relieved.

"There is no shortage of wood or food. However, will it affect the order of the general, arranging for the family members and soldiers to eat together? Alki was clearly concerned that the military discipline that had just been cultivated would be affected by civilians.

"No, this time it's to come out to play, to let the soldiers relax, but also to let the soldiers communicate with each other and connect with each other, as for affecting the order? No, go ahead and arrange it. Lao Luo is not worried about this problem at all, no one likes others to give them bad reviews, and the recruits will show their different sides in front of their families even if they pretend.

That's simple human nature.

Then Lao Luo didn't dare to put in the pile of children, although he liked to communicate with children. Because he didn't know how to face the excited chirping hordes of children who were playing, especially many children who were only six or seven years old. In normal times, he would be calm in the role of educator and father, but this time it was for the children to have fun, and he was a little uncomfortable.

In fact, it's not just the former gladiators who can't play, but he also doesn't know how to play, especially the children's fun. So he just watched from a distance as the children worked together in groups, built a bonfire by himself, and then set up a wooden frame, hung pots, and grilled fish, with Annalia, a shrewd lady, and Li Ji beside him to guide, these children who had experienced loneliness did a good job.

Luo Jiachen and Luo Jiawu, the two little girls, are like little adults, leading their groups to cooperate with each other, and they perform particularly well among the children. It is worth praising that the boy named Luo Dingzi by Lao Luo in the new boy camp also behaved very well, this is a thirteen-year-old thin boy, because he can't keep up with long-term nutrition, he is shorter than Luo Jiachen, but he has a pair of dexterous hands and a quick reaction mind, it didn't take a few days to adapt to the life of the boy camp, and now he is the leader of several boy groups in the back group.

"Third brother, why don't you go over? The children asked me to call you! Lao Luo didn't notice at all when Li Ji walked up to him and suddenly asked such a sentence.

"I'll go see those guys who are still catching fish in a moment," Lao Luo's face was a little embarrassed, "It seems that the children are doing well and having fun, so I won't go." ”

With a woman's sensitivity, Li Ji of course noticed Lao Luo's demeanor for the first time, she stared at this big man's rare embarrassed expression with a smile, "Hehe, third brother, I just found out that you are also in trouble?!" ”

"Nonsense, where am I embarrassed!" Lao Luo deliberately turned his face blank, "It's just that I just watched the children have fun and didn't want to disturb them." ”

"Hmph, I'm too lazy to talk about you, and I'm pretending again!" Li Ji pursed her lips, after more than half a year of contact, she had long understood that this big man was a guy who was stronger than a blacksmith's hammer, whether it was his body or mouth, there was no opponent in teaching people, "When you came out, you promised to teach Xiao Nannan to learn to swim, and now talking doesn't count?" ”

Lao Luo didn't guess what the girl was thinking, but it was impossible for him to play with the child like a gorilla, "I see Siniang, you are having a good time with the children, I need to keep an eye on those bastards and don't make mistakes, how hard you work, by the way, you looked very beautiful in that water just now!" ”

"Phew, perverted man! Too lazy to tell you, I'm going to take care of the kids. Li Ji's face turned red instantly, and she turned around and walked away as if she was running away. She was wearing close-fitting leather water just now leaning far away to teach the little ones to swim, and there were many elderly women around to keep watch, but she didn't expect Lao Luo to see it.

"Hehe......" Lao Luo looked at Li Ji's back and smirked twice, he really didn't expect the leather swimsuit made in this era to fit so well, and with Li Ji's swimming skills, it really looks like a mermaid, and because Li Ji usually wears a wide robe, it is the first time he has seen the figure of this fire girl, which is really not much inferior to the beach girls in later generations.

Shaking his head and sobering himself up, Lao Luo cursed himself in a low voice and walked towards the "spear-throwing fishermen".

At this time, the muscular men have begun to put away their tools and prepare their own Chinese food, the beach near the sea, is full of all kinds of large and small sturgeon and salmon, there are few other species, please the environment of this era, as well as the inflow of meltwater from the nearby snow-capped mountains, the abundant algae and aquatic plants bring many fish to wander in the shallow water, so it is not difficult to make a harvest.

"Gonzhas, which side won? Are the numbers good? Lao Luo greeted the strong Thracian man who was gesturing with the warriors on the side.

"Master, twenty-three people from Stan's first team and I won, twelve more fish than them!" Gonzhas was a little too excited, and the short beard that he usually took care of seriously was all attached to his chin at this time, and the sweat on his face was combined with the sea water on his body, and the upper body full of chest hair looked very "manly".

"Yes, how much did you get in total? Is there enough for lunch? Who are the losers? Lao Luo glanced around and asked casually.

"Twenty-three of us caught four hundred and thirty-seven fish, and gave fifty to the children, and the rest was enough to eat at noon, and it was Mr. Hess and Alker who lost, and they will be singing later! Ha ha! Gonzas's tone was unrestrained, and it was true that in more than an hour, he had stabbed so many fish from the shore with a spear, and it was enough for him to be satisfied.

"yes, really good, hurry up and start preparing lunch, oh yes, let Stan cook the grilled fish, he has the best ability to cook the grilled fish." Lao Luo made it clear this time, and dared to love that their team didn't follow their usual team habits, everyone was drawn to decide the team, and the two strongest guys were divided into a group, no wonder they won.

"Yes, my master." Gonzhas replied and began his busyness.

Lao Luo found Al Hesian in the crowd, the usually polite university scholar looked no different from the others at this time, the hooded robe had long since disappeared, and he was also shirtless, with his hair sticking to his head and his beard sticking to his chin, and his face was ruddy, and he couldn't see any frustrated expression of failure.

"Al, hey, look here, how's it going?" Lao Luo greeted Al Hesine loudly.

"Bartol, you guy!" Al Hesian wiped a handful of sweat and sea water from his face with his hands, and walked over from the shore with half of his body vapor, "Why don't you participate?" But I'm exhausted, I haven't worked this hard in years. ”

"Hehe, Al, you're only thirty-seven years old, you should do more things like this, or you'll be about to become an old man." Lao Luo looked at the bearded man with a teasing expression, and now this guy looks like a man in his thirties, not the great sage who looks pedantic all day long.

"Phew, I'm almost falling apart, Bartol, you're still laughing at me......" Al Hesion sat slumped on the beach, smelling the smell of the fish.

"Well, I won't say anything, I'll wait for the fresh grilled fish for a while, and I'll listen to you sing!"

Lunch started very quickly, and after everyone had eaten a fish, some people began to propose to listen to the losers sing, which was actually a relaxing introduction, and no one cared who was the winner and who was the loser.

Beginning with the Old Arabic ballad of Alhesyan, Alk sang their Visigothic folk tunes, and although few people understood their language, the low or witty tones still attracted the children of the neighborhood...... Under the warm atmosphere, no one wants to be silent, the Thracian war song of Gonzas, the song of the shepherdess dressed as the Norman Fischer, and the Norse Hanstein even sang the pirate song in the Northland language, the lyrics Lao Luo did not understand, but the song was very similar to the one that Lao Luo once heard in later generations:

We are pirates,

Fierce pirates,

Holding a wine bottle in his left hand,

He holds the treasure in his right hand.

We are pirates,

A pirate with skill,

Beautiful girls,

Please come to my arms.

We are pirates,

Free pirates,

Under the guidance of the Skull Banner,

Toil to survive.

We are pirates,

Pirates without tomorrow,

There is never an end,

Pirates drifting across the seven seas.
