Chapter Twenty-Three: The Recruit and the Commander
Chapter 23 Most of the recruits and the soldiers of the Han family battalion were simple poor peasants, so most of them were more obedient to the rules, and the training was not very difficult. As long as they threatened with a meal, they had to grit their teeth and insist, but there were also some people whose bodies couldn't support it and wanted to give up, but when they saw that coach Yang Ming was insisting, they had to continue running.
After months of training, Yang Ming had recovered his physical qualities from his previous life, especially since the long trek in the mountains over the past few months had given him more tenacious stamina, and like him, most of the veterans of Hanjia Village were able to persevere. It's just that they all started to pant and lose their breath.
After the 20-kilometer run, I started to eat breakfast after half an hour's rest. Yang Ming knew that the more intense the training, the greater the need for carbohydrates, so he was never harsh on the food supply of the soldiers, and the supply of protein, fat and other nutrients was sufficient, so that every soldier could be satisfied.
Being able to eat enough is already the greatest wish of these soldiers, as long as they can be fed, they can directly take their knives and go to the battlefield to be cannon fodder, let alone just a twenty-mile cross-country long-distance run every day.
After the meal, it was a strict queue training, more than 600 soldiers in Hanjia Village, in addition to Chen Daharizi's law enforcement team, with the team as the basic unit, with veterans leading new recruits, law enforcement team supervision for training, and under the exposure of the sun, it didn't take long for the soldiers to sweat profusely, and the soldiers who were happy to wear the newly made linen clothes at the beginning are now eager to take off all the clothes on their bodies.
But the army has strict dress discipline, not to mention taking off clothes or rolling up sleeves, you will also be punished, and there have already been people who have demonstrated it themselves.
After the queue training, they also had to stand in a military posture, and these peasants-born soldiers thought that standing in a military posture was the most relaxed, after all, they stood and did not have to step to walk left and right, wouldn't it be a lot less trouble, and they should bask in the sun for a while. But it wasn't until they stood for more than ten minutes that some people couldn't stand it.
As long as the hands and feet move, the whip of the law enforcement team will beckon, the whip is very heavy, a whip is a bloody scar, plus the sweat is soaked, it is even more painful, but you can't get out or move, you have to endure it. Otherwise, they will continue to whip the whip.
Some people have itchy bodies, but they can only endure it; If there are mosquitoes staring at you, you can only endure it; Sweat blinded my eyes, and I could only endure it with my eyes closed. The only thing that can move is the toes.
"Damn son, aren't you intentional, if it weren't for the sake of you saving my life, Lao Tzu wouldn't want to be played by you like a monkey", Bai Qiangang complained, and a whip hit him in the face, and he was immediately angry: "The surname Chen, don't slap your face, Lao Tzu hasn't married a daughter-in-law yet!" ”
"Smack!" Another whip hit Bai Qian's mouth.
"You!"
"Smack!" With another whip, Bai Qian had no choice but not to speak, endured the sharp pain on his face, and continued to stand in a military posture.
Yang Ming asked everyone to stand in a military posture just to cultivate the perseverance and discipline of the soldiers, but he didn't dare to let them stand for too long, after all, it was Futian now, and the soldiers were already seriously dehydrated, and it would not be good if they suffered from heat stroke. So, half an hour later, after Yang Ming's order to rest for two hours was issued, the soldiers were as happy as if they had picked up silver.
The villagers have brought more than ten buckets of cold water from the deep mountains, and even Zhang Yuanwai has asked people to bring a large cart of watermelons that I don't know where they came from. Seeing this, the officers and soldiers of the Hanjia battalion shouted happily, but when Yang Ming came, they all stood up unconsciously, not daring to speak, invisibly, Yang Ming had become a majestic commander in their hearts who did not dare to get close.
"You're welcome, everyone, sit down", Yang Ming smiled and sat between the two recruits, and then both of them handed a piece of watermelon: "Come, eat watermelon!" Then he said: "If you want to eat watermelon, hurry up and grab it, if you can't grab it, you should go and pour cold water yourself." ”
As soon as Yang Ming said this, the soldiers eagerly leaned over to the ox cart full of watermelons, but they didn't dare to do it.
"Rob, what are you afraid of, what are the big men pretending to be shy, like a girl", Yang Ming said and quickly took a piece over: "This watermelon is so sweet!" ”
Seeing this, the soldiers began to grab it, and after a while, a large cart of watermelons was left with only some residual skin juice. Moreover, the soldiers also began to smile at Yang Ming, thinking to themselves that this Yang Gongzi was not so terrible as those veterans said. Despite this, everyone still didn't dare to talk to Yang Ming.
"Are you tired today", in the end, Yang Ming took the initiative to ask, and some extroverted soldiers hurriedly replied: "Tired, now your feet are still sore." ”
"It's right that everyone is tired, in the future, you have to do this every morning, and you will have to limit the time in the future, if any of you run slowly, it's not just that you don't eat", Yang Ming said this, and some soldiers shouted in an uproar: "Childe, aren't you deliberately torturing people, you want us to go up the sword mountain and down the sea of fire, but don't let us do this, these are nothing, the key is that you make some internal affairs regulations that people really can't stand it." ”
"Yes, there must be rules for eating, there must be rules for dressing, there must be rules for sleeping, there must be rules for folding clothes and quilts, and there must be rules for washing and brushing my teeth, I have never brushed my teeth since I was born, only the rich man brushes his teeth, don't you stumble us", Bai Qian said with some dissatisfaction.
"When you are a soldier and eat food, you think that the white flour buns taken out by the common people are for you to eat for free, and to let you eat well is to let you be a good soldier, not only that, I also want you to read and break words, and teach you to read and reason", Yang Ming said this, and the soldiers became even more noisy: "You still have to read and write, this is more uncomfortable than killing me, son, you don't have a job, why are you forcing us to do it, you know that we are all big and coarse." ”
Yang Ming also smiled when he saw this: "Why, didn't you just say that you can go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, it won't work if you can read and break words, how to marry a daughter-in-law after you don't know how to read and break words, you go and ask those delicate girls in the village who are willing to marry you big old and rough." ”
"Cut, we are not your son, what kind of lady do you want to marry, we, as long as it is a mother, it is enough to give birth to a few cubs, whatever, you say yes", Bai Qian stood up as he spoke, and as soon as he raised his hands, the soldier laughed aloud: "Yes!" ”
"Okay, you Bai Qian, dare to arrange me", Yang Ming directly gave Bai Qian a punch, which happened to hit the whip mark on Bai Qian's back, and Bai Qian grinned in pain: "Childe, it hurts!" ”
"Bai Qian shouted that it hurts, and I don't know what kind of young lady is I thinking that Gongzi is doing something with which lady", and the soldiers gradually let go and joked. Just like Yang Ming used to like to joke about the company commander and instructor in the army, but in this way, you can also close the distance between you and the soldiers, and when you get to the battlefield, they are willing to die for you.
However, whenever men get together to talk and laugh, the topic is generally full of meat. No, as soon as one person finished speaking, someone said: "But I never thought it was a black and ugly rabbit master, haha!" ”
