"Well done!"

Gu Jiaming put the wet cotton jacket on the recruit who passed through the wall of fire, and extinguished the flames on his body, the sixteen-year-old boy's face was full of excitement, and his mouth chattered, "I succeeded, I succeeded!" ”

This is an important part of the training of new Xianghuwei recruits, who rushed out of the wall of fire in the shortest possible time. In order to avoid the possibility that their hair would be ignited by fire, these recruits had their heads bald one by one - this is also a need for hygiene, and Yu Guozhen stipulated early on that Huwei must have his head bald at the beginning of his enlistment to avoid giving birth to fleas. After that, whether you want to keep your hair or keep it short, it's up to you.

In fact, at least one-third of the Tiger Guards would rather have short hair or bald heads, and this proportion is gradually increasing, and even those who have retired from the Tiger Guards have brought the trend of short hair to the people of Xinxiang. For hair problems, Yu Guozhen did not force them, but just made them aware of the convenience of short hair and the trouble of long hair, especially on the production line, long hair may cause industrial accidents, and people will naturally make the most reasonable choice.

The so-called parents of the ancients did not shave and cut their hair at all, otherwise there would be no shaver.

"Now, it's your turn...... Hey? ”

Gu Jiaming was about to command the next team of recruits to start training, when he suddenly felt that something was not quite right, and glanced away, and saw a group of women in white robes, talking and laughing quietly passing by the edge of the training ground.

Among them was a woman's appearance, which seemed to be somewhat familiar.

Gu Jiaming's heart moved: "You go on, I have something to do for a while!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he ran up wildly and ran towards the group of white-robed women.

"Xiaoying, three months, it took three months to let us out, let's go to the Yokoba Club to watch a play, or go to the shops, Xinxiang is prosperous, although we have watched it back and forth more than once, but we have never gone to visit by ourselves!"

"Yes, yes, Xiaoying has learned so well, and now it's time to rest, Teacher Siyi said that he wants to combine work and rest!"

"I heard that the "Ghost Girl" rehearsed by the Yokoba Club has been on for a month, and the venue is full, and even Teacher Siyi is full of praise, saying that it is a good show, let's go see it?"

Zhao Ying smiled lightly, but shook her head and refused the sisters' invitation.

She was brought from Gyeonggi to Sinxiang, a long way away, but after arriving in Sinxiang, she was arranged to a quieter place and began to learn the art of nursing. This was her choice after asking for her opinion, and she always remembered the pain caused to the tiger guard named Gu Jiaming by not being able to pull out an arrow on the battlefield of Gyeonggi.

If I went to help him now, it would be easier.

Hidden behind the aura of the "Xinxiang Elementary School" is the nursing branch, which was originally intended to help Huwei with training and wartime injury care, even if there are not many people in Xinxiang who know about it. Yu Guozhen did not want to cause any accidents in this professional skills school because of the opposition of some old feudalists. Of course, this branch school can only be regarded as a crash course now, where Song Siyi teaches some simple pulse checking, hemostasis, bandaging, disinfection and medicine feeding skills, and after the three-month crash course, they will go to Xinxiang First Hospital for real learning.

"Xiaoying, you look like this...... Could it be that there are acquaintances or relatives in Xinxiang who want to meet? A young girl asked Zhao Ying.

Zhao Ying's face turned slightly red, after a long period of recuperation, the scars on her face had already grown and scabbed off, but they still left brown scars, which made her originally delicate face lose its original beauty. She lowered her head and lost her mind slightly, did she have an acquaintance in Xinxiang? That tiger guard once reported his name, saying that his name was Gu Jiaming, and asked her to go to Xinxiang to find him, but ...... Zhao Ying had no thoughts of going to him at all.

"I want to see the sea, just go and see the sea." She whispered.

"Haven't seen enough of the sea on a boat south?" A girl next to her laughed.

Everyone laughed, they were all the same, they were all the same girls who were rescued from Gyeonggi, they were not too old or too young, if they were put in the school, they would be too old, but they would be a little too small if they went directly to the workshop. Yu Guozhen invited Song Siyi to come out and preside over this nursing branch, which can be regarded as allowing them to learn a skill.

At first, they were quite resistant to the possibility of caring for those men, but later they learned that the care was the tiger guard who rescued them on the battlefield, and they became active one by one. In the land of Yan Zhao, there has always been no shortage of generous and sad people, even women, and they are also surnamed strong and strong, and they have repaid their kindness and grievances.

Everyone was about to make fun of Zhao Ying again, when they suddenly heard someone shouting behind them: "Wait a minute, wait a minute!" ”

When they turned around, Zhao Ying was also among them, and saw Gu Jiaming running over from a distance.

Although it was still more than 100 meters apart, Zhao Ying's heart suddenly contracted, and his eyes lit up: It's him, he's here!

At this moment, another voice sounded: "Gu Jiaming! ”

"Yes!" When Gu Jiaming heard this voice, he immediately stood up and straightened his body, the surprise on his face turned into surprise, and he looked at the person who walked over from the side.

It was Yu Guozhen.

Zhao Ying also knew Yu Guozhen, after the battle of Gyeonggi ended, she had seen Yu Guozhen personally pacify the people, and she had the courage to stop him and ask about Gu Jiaming's safety. Even after arriving in Xinxiang, Yu Guozhen also came to the nursing branch to inspect three times, and basically visited them once a month, bringing some small gifts each time.

"Ah, it's Nanhaibo!" Almost all the girl's eyes stopped on Yu Guozhen's face.

Only Zhao Ying looked at Gu Jiaming, and Gu Jiaming also looked over here, but everyone was dressed in general and wore veils, so he shouldn't recognize anyone.

Yu Guozhen came with a team of people, and every two or three days, he would come to inspect the recruits, and in some training programs, he would have to work with them. After summoning Gu Jiaming, Yu Guozhen looked him up and down a few times, and then looked in the direction he was looking at, and saw a group of Dao-robed women disappearing in a hurry.

Yu Guozhen smiled.

"It seems that Jiaming's heart is a little springy?" He teased Gu Jiaming, and then suddenly remembered one thing, after the Battle of Gyeonggi, it seems that a woman had asked him about Gu Jiaming's safety, but later because he was busy with affairs, he didn't ask about it, and he didn't know what happened to the woman.

Maybe you should ask...... The woman looked resolute.

Yu Guozhen is extremely concerned about the marriage of his subordinates, in his opinion, this is also a major event related to the future development of Xinxiang and even the entire China, after all, in this era, there is still space in the world, enough for the descendants of China to open up, unlike later generations, the great powers have carved up the world cleanly, and Huaxia, which has finally risen from the state of being divided and plundered, has no room for expansion, and has to adopt a fertility policy that is almost self-harming in order to survive and develop.

Even if there is even the slightest leeway, such a method will not be used, and in the age when might is right, this is the bitter fruit that must be swallowed with teeth and tears.

Therefore, in Xinxiang's policy, men can be married at the age of 18 and women at the age of 17. The system of marriage and family is, in principle, monogamous, but it is also forbidden to marry more, and it is limited to monogamy and two concubines, prohibits the personal persecution of concubines by eldest wives, and ensures that concubines and concubines have corresponding inheritance rights -- this inheritance right is not comparable to that of eldest women and their children, but it does not allow eldest women and their children to regard them as slaves.

After getting married, if you have a child, you will receive a childcare allowance. This kind of encouragement policy makes Xinxiang get married very quickly, and it also makes Xinxiang seem to be forever lacking women of appropriate age.

Naturally, women of appropriate age are first inclined to the Tiger Guard, and among the first three phases of the Tiger Guard, the proportion of marriage has been close to half. It is estimated that in the middle of this year, there will be a peak of a number of baby births, and a large number of new lives will be born in Xinxiang.

To this end, Yu Guozhen made a lot of preparations: milk.

In addition to buffalo, the number of cattle is also quite a lot, and cattle can be used as dairy cows, with the development of Xinxiang animal husbandry, a certain scale of dairy farms has been formed. Milk powder research has also been put on the agenda, although there is not as much testing equipment as later generations, but Yu Guozhen can use some systems to control the quality of dairy products.

For example, anyone who tries to add something to milk is guilty of poisoning and killing.

"The petty official has orders?" Gu Jiaming watched with some pity as the "fairy girl" in the mouth of the group of people disappeared into the forest path.

"Hmm, there's one thing, you've recovered from your previous injuries, right?"

"It's been around for a long time!"

"I want you to go north to replace Huo Yan." Yu Guozhen narrowed his eyes and said.

"Huh? How so? Gu Jiaming was taken aback, he knew that Huo Yan had only been the head of the Denglai Staff Corps for only four or five months, and he would be replaced in such a short time, there was only one possibility, Huo Yan made some mistake and was exempted from his duties!

"You also know that Huo Yan has a 1102 party." Yu Guozhen smiled: "I sent him to the staff group alone, firstly, to see that he does have some talent, no pity, and secondly, to separate him from the 1102 party, don't make mistakes." However, he didn't seem to appreciate the opportunity I gave him......"

"Little official, I don't know anything else, but Huo Yan is loyal to the little official, but I know it." After being silent for a while, Gu Jiaming said with some difficulty: "He will not ...... It will not be against the petty officials! ”

"I know he's loyal, but he's too loyal, and he's trying too much to show his abilities in front of me." Yu Guozhen smiled bitterly.

He really didn't want to make this personnel adjustment, but more than one person in the staff team wrote a secret letter, pointing out that Huo Yan's relationship with Sun Lin was too close, and even changed Yu Guozhen's plan to slowly train the Denglai army to fully incorporate it into the Xinxiang system, but to improve the combat effectiveness of the Denglai army in a hurry.

In other words, the combat effectiveness of this Denglai army is much stronger than before, and they are also close to Xinxiang to a certain extent, but this closeness is limited, and they don't even need an order from the imperial court, as long as they change the order of the Denglai general soldier, they will definitely break with Xinxiang.

Yu Guozhen didn't want what he had cultivated to be his enemy.

"You are ready, Jianyu will attack Korea, and the imperial court will inevitably send the Denglai army to the rescue, so now Huo Yan should go to North Korea with Sun Kexian. Regardless of whether he wins or loses this battle, I will call him back, if he wins, he will be rewarded, and if he loses, he will be punished, and then you will not have any mustard if you go to replace him. Yu Guozhen said again.

Gu Jiaming nodded and saluted, answered yes, and then said with some concern: "The battle of Korea in the north, there won't be any problems, right?" ”

"Counting the time, it's almost time for news to come."

This is one thing that makes Yu Guozhen very distressed, at this time, the distance between the north and the south is too far, the traffic is extremely inconvenient, and the news is seriously lagging behind, so the last news he received was more than a month ago, and he didn't know anything about the development of the battle situation in front of him.

"Uncle, just rest assured, no matter what, as long as we can control the Xianguo clan on Jianghua Island according to Uncle's pre-determined plan, then we will have a complete victory. In a few years, when we are stronger, we will be able to support one of the clans and directly intervene in North Korea. The subordinates think that they should be careful...... It's Phi Island! ”

Gu Jiaming didn't say anything, and beside Yu Guozhen, Song Xiance, who looked short and ugly even in the Tiger Guard uniform, said.

"I know, I know...... So Gu Jiaming, you can succeed Huo Yan later, and wait until this battle is over, but if you leave for Denglai, you will have to be faster. Within five days, you will take the 'Qiushui' to the north, and strive to reach Denglai in early March, where you can decide for yourself whether to go to support Huo Yan or not, and in addition, after the Qiushui arrives, you will change the Lianbo back to Xinxiang to rest! ”

The Qiushui is a scissor sailing ship launched after the Lantern Festival, which is an improved version of the Pillow Xia and Lianbo, with comparable speeds, but with a larger hull and more load.

This order made Gu Jiaming's heart a little heavy, and he glanced up at Yu Guozhen.

They are all brothers who have struggled out together, and there may be small conflicts with each other, but none of them wants others to have big differences. But Gu Jiaming understands that this time Huo Yan is afraid that he will be punished a lot, at the very least, he will be hidden for a period of time. For the arrogant Huo Yan, he was idle, but his colleagues climbed up one by one, and he would definitely be even more depressed in his heart.

Let's hope he'll be able to break through this.

"How many people do I take with me, and from which department?" Gu Jiaming put aside the dark cloud in his heart, and asked again.

"The 1st Battalion of the 3rd Regiment." Yu Guozhen looked at Gu Jiaming: "Your position in the teaching regiment will be relieved immediately, and I will appoint you as the battalion leader of the first battalion of the third regiment, do you have any suggestions for the appointment of the company and the tent commander." ”

Gu Jiaming's heart welled up with joy.

Although Xinxiang's strength had already exceeded the three regiments at this time, in terms of formal establishment, it was always Ye Wuya's first regiment, Zhang Zheng's second regiment and Qi Niu's teaching regiment, and now there is a third regiment, and Gu Jiaming was appointed as the first battalion battalion, but he did not say who the regiment of the third regiment was, Gu Jiaming understood what Yu Guozhen meant.

This time he went north, if he coped with it properly, then it was very likely that he would become the fourth regiment of the new Xianghuwei.

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!" He said loudly, but suddenly he wanted to find someone to share the joy of being reused.

looked in the direction where the group of Dao Gu left, but there was no one.
