On the wide playground, thousands of recruits are conducting separate drills, under the leadership of their respective instructors, instructors, squadrons, detachments, and squad leaders, training military postures, queues, shooting, stabbing, bomb throwing, artillery maneuvering, fortifications, ......, footsteps, shouting and killing, passwords, and even shouting and scolding fill the entire playground, dust with drops of sweat in the sun for a while, the strong smell of sweat dissipates with the wind.

The Russian army is constantly sending reinforcements to Central Asia, and the reinforcements of the new army are also gathering in Ili one after another. Among them, there is a banner army with the will to die.

It has been ten years since the world was pacified, and the former Qing prisoners of war have been released back to their hometowns or migrated to the borderlands. Only the banner people and those descendants of the Han who fought desperately for the Manchu Qing on the battlefield continued to live hard day and night labor.

The flagmen and traitors who have tasted this kind of tiring work and have no taste of free life are yearning for war, and it is worth exchanging their lives for the new life of the whole family. Not to mention that there is a hint of vitality in the middle!

In present-day Xinjiang, there are 17 new barracks selected from among the bannermen and traitors in southern and northern Xinjiang, with a total of nearly 50,000 people. Among them, there are veterans who started recruiting early last year and have been training for nearly a year, and there are also absolute rookies who were recruited on the eve of the outbreak of war, or even after the outbreak of war. But no matter when they were recruited into the army, no matter how long they were trained, they had only one fate - cannon fodder on the battlefield!

But such a fate can also make them happy.

"Ready!" On the playground, a second lieutenant instructor shouted loudly. The recruits of a squadron all stood with their guns upright at a 65-degree angle to the right side.

"Attention, heel strain. Quickly move the center of gravity forward, and press hard to create leg strength, waist strength, and arm strength. Lift the butt of the rifle with your right hand two inches below the side of your right chest, and rotate your left arm 30 degrees to quickly stretch forward. Spike! ”

"Kill!" The voices of a hundred people converged into one, and a hundred bayonets stabbed out with a cold light, and the sound was indeed terrifying.

"Push the gun hard with both arms towards the target, and use your left hand to grasp the direction. At the same time, you should push the ball of your right foot and push your waist to make your body ...... forward."

"The left calf drives the thigh to kick forward with a big step, and when kicking, the foot should not be more than two punches from the ground, and do not raise it high. If it's high, there's no way to change the force quickly. When you stab an enemy, your left foot lands on the ground and your right foot slides forward naturally. ”

"Naturally, be natural. It must be carved into your bones. You deliberately do this action, which in itself slows you down. ”

"When stabbing, one must be "fast", and the other must be "ruthless". ”

"Fast" means to aim at the puncture point and quickly stab it, and you can't start the gun, that is, you can't pull the gun back and stab it again. Drawing a gun is tantamount to telling the enemy, I'm going to stab you, and the other party is prepared, but of course you can't stab. ”

"Ruthless". It is necessary to have three forces, the thrust of the two arms, the thrust of the waist and the push force of the right foot, all of which are combined into one force. Stab the enemy with all the might......"

The second lieutenant walked into the queue to check the recruits' foot position, leg shape, and the angle of the shots after the assassination. After correcting one by one to satisfaction, the queue will be discharged. Said loudly: "The left arm is retracted, the right arm is close to the butt of the gun and quickly shot, twist the waist, the right leg strides with force, and blocks the attack!" ”

"Kill!"

"The left arm is stretched forward, the right arm is retracted, the left leg is stepped, and the gun is picked!"

"Kill!" The shouting of killing is still so sonorous and powerful.

Zeng Guoquan, who had arrived in Xinjiang, nodded frequently while watching, while Zhou Fu beside him was full of surprise. This former confidant of Li Hongzhang is now also sitting in Anxi Province to participate in politics.

Zhou Fu is a standard literati, and he really doesn't know much about the army, especially the modern army.

"Yushan, don't look down on these times. That's real kung fu. The most basic action in the stabbing is to stab head-on, block and attack, swing the gun and pick the stab, and the steps will take a step forward in each action. The connection between the movements is smooth, and it can be repeated repeatedly, which is the most powerful stabbing action in white-knuckle combat. ”

Zhou Funian is in his fifties, and when Li Hongzhang was training the army and the new army, he had dealt with the army for a few days, but he did not understand the essence. In his eyes, these actions were a few very simple and ordinary assassination drills. Now that I hear Zeng Guoquan's evaluation really high, I can't help but wonder: "Can it be so simple to control the enemy?" ”

"Hahaha, our DPRK army has repeatedly defeated foreign countries. Isn't it the best proof to raise the prestige of our country! For Zhou Fu, who doesn't understand military affairs, Zeng Guoquan doesn't want to explain too much.

On the playground under the scorching sun, the officers and men were sweating profusely and their clothes were soaked, and sometimes some of them fainted and fell to the ground due to physical exhaustion.

Zeng Guoquan will not look down on these flag men. Back then, their old Zeng family was famous all over the world, but it was because of the appreciation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Even later, the times created heroes.

Zeng Guoquan knew very well how decadent and wasteful the original Eight Banners were, if the bannermen of the year could endure such hardship, whether the Qing Dynasty would die or not, we have to say twice.

Even if Liu Xian raised troops to destroy the former Qing Dynasty, no one in the world would think that Liu Xian was born with a backbone, but would only say that the Manchu Qing Dynasty himself was not angry, which made people see the opportunity.

So now Zeng Guoquan is very emotional. "I knew why I had to be the first ...... today"

"Come again! Continuous spikes! Advance! Advance! The second lieutenant roared hoarsely.

The shouts of the trained flag men and recruits are still loud. "Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

The yellow dust was all over the sky, sweat was dripping eight petals, and the figures of the soldiers in the back rows were almost invisible, only the bayonets reflecting the sunlight were still clearly visible. Continuous stabbing and continuous strides forward bring the recruits not only the consumption of physical strength and a deeper understanding of the stabbing action, but also the indomitable momentum that quietly infiltrates their bone marrow. Stride forward, forward, forward, forward! Only forward! The instinct formed after long-term training creates the habit of never retreating, which is the military consciousness of steel.

Liu Xian is not superstitious about spiritual power, but any commander will appreciate the high morale brought by spiritual power; He is also not superstitious about winning with weapons, but like officers around the world, he likes to concentrate his superior firepower to destroy his opponents. White-knuckle warfare is a very important military method in his eyes, but more importantly, it creates the unparalleled momentum of the soldiers from the bones!

In the shouting of killing, dust inevitably swept over Zeng Guoquan and Zhou Fu, who were watching, both of whom were not young, and couldn't help coughing again and again. But no one cares, let alone scolds such a disgraceful thing.

"Dashuai, why don't you go back to the post house to rest for a while, and when this heat goes down, Yushan will accompany you to come and see?"

Zeng Guoquan waved his hand to disperse the dust and mist, and said resolutely: "Go on!" Read on. The old man just wants to know how today's team has trained a strong army in the world! In the future, we will be on the border, and we will inevitably touch the military, but we can't know nothing. ”

"Stand-set!" A row of human walls rolled towards the place where the two were standing, their steps were sonorous and powerful, solemn and mighty, and finally stopped advancing with the password at a distance of more than ten meters from Zeng Guoquan.

Ai Xin Jueluo. Jae Ze stood in the front row in a military uniform, his eyes looking straight ahead, but his head tried his best to look at the two old figures. The young Zai Ze didn't know Zeng Guoquan and Zhou Fu, but he knew that the people who could enter the training ground in civilian clothes were definitely not ordinary people.

As the vanguard of this brigade, the position he is in the vanguard does not allow him to turn his head, not even the movement of his eyeballs! So he could only use his afterglow to observe Zeng Guoquan and Zhou Fu.

Everyone was drenched in sweat, and their uniforms were soaked with sweat, but this did not diminish the momentum of their strict procession rolling forward and stopping abruptly.

Zeng Guoquan and Zhou Fu's eyes were focused on Zai Ze at the same time, and this vanguard was really eye-catching. The sturdy body, handsome appearance, and the divine light contained in his eyes, the self-confidence and perseverance that could not be concealed, made him stand out from the twenty-two people in the first column.

"Pacesetter, out of the ranks!"

Zai Ze trotted forward three or five steps, standing five meters in front of Zeng Guoquan, and then a strict military salute that could not be faulted.

Zeng Guoquan also stood still, stood upright, raised his hand and saluted: "Name, age, family background!" ”

"The recruit loves Xinjueluo. Zai Ze, 22 years old. The fifteenth son of the Holy Grandfather, Yu Ke County, Wang Aixin Jueluo. The fifth grandson of Yinyu! ”

Zeng Guoquan blinked his eyes, glanced at Zhou Fu, and understood who this person was. Yu Ke Jun Wang Ai Xin Jue Luo. Yinyu is childless, Zai Ze's father's name is Yi Fan, he was not originally called Zai Ze, but after being ordered to be the heir of Mianyu, he changed his life to Zai Ze. In the third year of Guangxu's attack, he was crowned the Duke of Fuguo, but unfortunately he didn't enjoy any blessings, and the Manchu Dynasty fell.

I didn't expect the two of them to inadvertently point out a relative of the emperor of the previous dynasty.

"In the past, Wang Xie Tang Qianyan flew into the homes of ordinary people......" After walking out of the training camp, Zhou Fu echoed such a poem in his mind. Zai Ze, the Banner Army, here is really a clear proof.

Zhou Fu's heart was empty for a while. The downfall and fate of the children of the Manchu clan made him involuntarily think of his own children. If one day the Zhou family is also down, what will future generations look like? And although the Zhou family has no friendship with Li Hongzhang, who dares to guarantee that there will be no bleak day in the future?

Zeng Guoquan was even more distressed. He was almost seventy years old. After the governor of Anxi took office, it was time to return to his hometown. Maybe he can't wait for that day, and people can't do it. So in the future, will the Zeng family only rely on one Zeng Jize?

This is not to say that there are no talents among the descendants of the Zeng family, they are all sloppy, but except for Zeng Jize, there is no second person in the Zeng family who can provoke the pillars of the family.

The two of them came to see the recruit training with great interest, but they went back with a stomach full of depression. Moreover, before they had time to extinguish the fire first, Liu Xian sent a telegram to the two of them to hurry west to Lake Balkhash, so that the victory or defeat in the Aral Sea region would be divided, and the shelves of Anxi Province should be pulled up as soon as possible......
