Chapter 216: The Birth of the Guards Battalion
Time passed minute by minute, Zhu Daolin still stood straight on the edge of the high platform, did not say a word for three minutes, the atmosphere of the audience was solemn, silent, so quiet that he could hear his heartbeat.
Just when the hundreds of recruits in the audience were trembling and about to collapse, Lord Zhu's loud voice suddenly sounded: "Brothers, do you know why you can't pass the test? β
The 547 recruits in the audience immediately raised their heads and looked at Zhu Daolin, Zhu Daolin didn't wait for them to react and continued: "You are all fortunate to stay in this big camp after three rounds of strict selection, none of you are deaf, none of you are dumb, none of you are stupid!" β
"On the contrary, you are young and strong, and you are better than those ordinary people outside! But why are tens of thousands of comrades able to recite 30 military laws and regulations after hard work, but you can't memorize them? β
"I don't need you to tell me why, I'll tell you! Listen to the command, stand upright-"
The 547 recruits in the audience were shaken by the shock, and quickly stabilized their bodies and straightened their waists.
Zhu Daolin's indifferent voice exploded again: "Listen! Give you one last chance, I will count to ten, and those who are disgruntled and unwilling to be soldiers will immediately take off their uniforms and leave the camp, and I will not embarrass you! One, two, three, four......"
Before Zhu Daolin could count to six, the 547 people in the audience were already in a mess, and more than half of the recruits quickly took off their uniforms, turned around and ran to the camp gate to the south.
"Yes, there are more than two hundred people left, more than I expected." Zhu Daolin said to Li Yiliang, the chief instructor who came to his side quickly.
Li Yiliang admired Zhu Daolin's methods: "It's good to go, the heart is not here, and staying is a disaster." β
After counting the number of people, the clever star officer quickly reported: "My lord." There are 229 people left. β
Zhu Daolin ordered the rest of the people to gather together and form a phalanx, and then stood quietly on the edge of the high platform, carefully observing the reactions of the recruits in the audience.
Under the reprimand of the officer on duty and several deputy chief instructors, the 229 nervous recruits quickly lined up.
Zhu Daolin unexpectedly jumped off the high platform and came to the front of the queue, his cold face turned kind. The voice of the voice also revealed a shocking cordiality:
"Regardless of why you chose to stay, I am sincerely happy for you...... Compared with all the brothers, you bastards who can't memorize less than 30 military laws and regulations are not bad at all, and many of you seem to have practiced martial arts for a few years, and the reason why you can't memorize 30 military laws and regulations is only two reasons: first, you are not convinced and resistant; Second, the guts are too small and they are scared stupid! Am I right? β
The recruits reacted differently. Some lowered their heads in embarrassment, some quietly smiled, and more were nervous and panicked.
Zhu Daolin suddenly asked: "Tell me, would you like to become Lao Tzu's personal soldier?" β
The voice fell, and the audience was in an uproar.
The 229 recruits looked at Zhu Daolin with a calm expression in disbelief, and the four chief and deputy chief instructors behind Zhu Daolin and more than 100 officers around him were even more shocked, they never dreamed that Zhu Daolin would take these 200 soldiers as his own soldiers.
What is Pro-Soldier? A pro-soldier is a family! The best-paid, well-equipped, and most trusted companion!
As long as he can become Zhu Daolin's personal soldier. It means that they themselves don't have to worry about it in their lives!
Zhu Daolin suddenly asked loudly, "Would you like to?" β
"Willing to ......"
The voices of the replies were uneven and frightened.
Zhu Daolin shouted loudly again: "I didn't hear it, tell me." Would you like to? β
"Yes!" The 229 recruits hurriedly replied.
"Be louder, I didn't hear me!"
"Willingβ"
This time the voice was loud and passionate, and most of the recruits shouted these two words almost desperately.
Zhu Daolin finally smiled: "This is the momentum that a soldier should have!" Since everyone is willing to become my Zhu Daolin's personal soldiers, let's calm down and learn the thirty military laws and regulations from the beginning...... I'll take you with me. Recite it together, when everyone can memorize it, when we disband, even if one person can't remember, I will stay with him. Until he can recite it proficiently! Chief Instructorβ"
"The subordinates are here!"
Li Yiliang, who was full of emotion, was taken aback, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute with his fists.
"Before announcing the disbandment, it is required that after dinner, the captains and deputy captains of each team must be forced to take a hot bath, drink a bowl of ginger syrup, continue to study military law and military regulations tomorrow morning, and continue to conduct queue training in the afternoon!"
"If the officers have any objections, they can come to me tomorrow afternoon, and I will treat them with courtesy."
Zhu Daolin continued the previous study and training plan, with the aim of digesting and consolidating today's hard-won achievements, and also giving the deeply touched officers a chance to choose.
"Yes!"
Li Yiliang took the order and left.
The more than 12,000 officers and soldiers in the stadium were quickly disbanded, and the phalanx in front of the review stand remained unmoved.
The sound of Zhu Daolin reciting military orders aloud and the repeated voice of more than 200 soldiers continued to sound, loud and extremely rhythmic, the officers were convinced, and the recruits were deeply shocked. Who can be disrespectful?!
More than 100 officers and men of the law enforcement team who had completed the task had already taken oilcloth torches and lit them to illuminate Zhu Daolin and the more than 200 soldiers in front of him.
The night was dark, and the drizzle was falling again.
The recruits who were able to neatly recite the 30 "Ten Catch-Laws," "Internal Affairs Regulations," and "Secrecy Regulations" changed their formations again and walked to the 10 instructors one by one to be assessed, and finally all 229 of them passed the test, but the time was already 11:20 in the evening.
Zhu Daolin solemnly announced: "Brothers, our guard battalion is officially established from now on, you return to each team to report to the instructor on duty, you are not afraid of death or tired, take your luggage and come to report to the guard, from now on, the backyard of the guard camp is the station of the guard battalion, and in the next month, those who join the guard battalion will receive my personal training and be disbanded!" β
More than 200 recruits cheered away, and Zhu Daolin turned to Wu Jicheng, the artillery instructor who had been accompanying him behind him: "Sixth, why are you doing this?" If the injury is not healed, don't hold on. β
Wu Jicheng replied with a smile: "This little injury is a fart, these days I have been smearing the healing elixir of Ziyang Guan every day, and drinking the good medicinal wine brewed in the pharmacy of Ziyang Guan, it has long been almost good!" β
"Let's go together."
Zhu Daolin, who was drenched, pulled Wu Jicheng, who had become a confidant, and climbed the review stand to return to the general's mansion: "What have you gained in the past few days?" β
Wu Lao Liu lowered his voice: "The harvest is great!" According to the guidance of the adults, the subordinates dug up five old brothers with experience in artillery from the command of the grandfather of the country, formed an artillery instructor group, and compared with the book "Artillery Basic Training" and the four Franc Captain Pipe Bronze Cannons handed over by the Yuhu brothers, they explored and discussed together, and consulted several masters of the Hushan Manor Research Institute, and finally figured out what was going on with the ballistics of the projectile. β
"It is expected that in two months, our instructor team will definitely be able to understand most of the content in the basic training, and the rest can only wait until the live-fire training to explore."
Zhu Daolin was very satisfied: "Work hard, our field artillery will arrive within a month, and then you can select suitable soldiers and form your own artillery battalion." β
Wu Lao Liuliu was overjoyed, and grabbed Zhu Daolin's arm: "My lord, is the artillery battalion considered a personal guard battalion?" β
Zhu Daolin explained: "The artillery battalion is temporarily incorporated into the personal guard battalion, but it has to be separated after it becomes an army...... Artillery is an independent branch of the army, hanging under the name of the marine battalion being formed by the guards of the Jiangnan Navy Division, after the six-month training period, all the officers and soldiers will be divided into two parts, your artillery battalion will remain as my direct control unit, and expand two to three battalions in the next year, before that, you must help Longping Hou train a battalion of artillery, otherwise I will not be able to explain. β
Wu Lao Liu was completely relieved: "It's okay to be by the side of adults, it's no different from the guard camp, haha!" β
