At three or four o'clock, when the sky is just dawning, they have to get up and work in the fields, regardless of age or age, without exception.

A twelve- or thirteen-year-old boy with a sickle on his shoulder, ran out of the house, through the grass, to the river to cut pigweed. I didn't go far before the cold dew soaked my trouser legs, and I couldn't help but shiver.

The boy shook off his legs and ran quickly, a wave of heat gradually rising from his body, resisting the cold. When he came to the river, the grass was thick, and he swung his sickle and cut through the tender grass.

At this time, behind the grass, mosquitoes flew out from time to time, and angry insects, disturbed by people's dreams, they were crazy, leaving red dots on the boy's body one by one. But the boy didn't care about this, he just buried himself in work, and only waved his hand when it hurt so much.

The sun gradually rose, and the boy already had two large bales of tender grass in front of him, and after tying them with straw ropes, he picked them up, scattered his legs, and ran home. As he ran, the boy's stomach rumbled like thunder.

Last night, he drank only one bowl of gruel. As the saying goes, half of the size eats Lao Tzu to death. When you are growing your body, you have to do physical work, which is really not enough. The young man also knew that there was really nothing more at home, so he tightened the hemp rope in his waist, endured the torture of stomach acid, and ran back to the house quickly.

"Xuanzi, you're back, see what Dad brought you back?"

As soon as the young man walked into the house, he heard his father's voice, and he hurriedly ran into the house, only to see a jujube roast duck on the small table, with oily meat skin, revealing an intoxicating aroma, and when he smelled it, his saliva could not help but flow out.

"Dad, why are you willing to sell roast duck?"

"It's not for you kid, eat it, let's have a thigh first."

The young man didn't care about wiping his hands, so he took it and gnawed it down, and in three bites, he gnawed off a duck leg.

"Daddy, the child is suffering with us, and he can't eat a little meat all year round." Looking at her gobbling son, tears welled up in the woman's eyes.

"Don't worry, our family has a way!" The man said with a smile.

"Dead ghost, you've been tossing less over the years, aren't we still suffering the same thing?"

"It's different, this time it's different!" The man smiled and said: "Do you know, in the past, when you sell a mouthful of pigs, you have to send them to the family of He Butcher in the county seat. But now it's different, An ** has set up pig collection points in various towns, and a good pig can give one or two silver. ”

"One or two? So much? ”

"Well, in the past, the highest was seven coins of silver, but this time not only is the price high, but also how much and how much it wants."

"Daddy, what are you doing here, why do you want so many pigs?"

"me, don't I wonder in my heart, after selling the pig, I went to Xuzhou by car with the guy from the pharmacy. I inquired around the city, and guess what I had appeared? ”

"Don't sell it, let's talk about it quickly!"

The young man also looked at it with burning eyes, and the man smiled: "I have heard, An ** wants to train recruits, and gives meat to eat every day, thousands of young men, who want 100 catties of pigs a day, bought all the pigs in Xuzhou City, and went to the countryside to collect pigs." ”

"When people collect pigs, our family will only have a mouthful, and if they sell it, what else can they do?"

"Say that you have a long head and short knowledge, that's what you are doing, our family is sold, can't we go to other places to collect it, some rural people can buy a head for five dollars of silver, run errands, don't you earn this money."

When the woman heard this, she also smiled: "Daddy, don't say it, your head is quite smart!" ”

"Dare to love! , the head of the family just doesn't have money to study, otherwise with my head, at least I should be a good person. ”

While the couple was laughing, the boy suddenly raised his head.

"Dad, is Ann really good, there is meat to eat every day?"

"It's not good, you honestly stay at home for your mother, a good man is not a soldier, and a good iron is not a nail. In these years, there has been a shortage of soldiers, if something goes wrong, is my mother worthy of your Wu family? ”

"Damn it, don't say it, maybe, this is a good opportunity for our Wu family to change their court!"

……

It has been a month since Gu Zhenhua returned to Xuzhou from Nanjing, and in this month's time, he has almost been immersed in the recruit camp, training recruits with all his heart.

Almost all of these recruits were recruited in Tianjin, and these young men's Su zhì was quite good, and all the way south, in fact, it was also a marching training, and they were no longer young, and many of them were arrogant and did not take training seriously.

But after Gu Zhenhua personally supervised them, they immediately complained bitterly. I wake up before dawn in the morning and start trail running, starting with 10 kilometers and increasing. After breakfast, I queued up for two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon, and I was dizzy. Before dinner, it was a strength training for the stone lock stakes, almost non-stop.

In the evening, there are still two hours of cultural class, which is how many lives it takes. At the beginning, Gu Zhenhua said that he wanted to teach them to read and write, and these boys were still beautiful errands, but after they really implemented it, they knew the difficulty. One hour of literacy, one hour of learning arithmetic, every day to evaluate, all unqualified, the next day double the training, three consecutive failures, to send to the cooking class.

When people are soldiers and fight, they cook as soldiers, which is not good to say. These boys are also gritting their teeth to hold on, I have to say that the potential of young people is good, after a month of squeezing, they can actually withstand it. As for Kang Lesheng and others, who already have a good foundation, they are even more willing.

However, one of the principles of military training is constant torture, and it is absolutely impossible to make them comfortable. Gu Zhenhua's tricks are also more and more, three watches in the middle of the night, the horn is shocking, and the emergency gathering, if anyone is late, a shed, and even a sentry will be punished.

People want faces, trees want bark, and because of themselves, other comrades-in-arms have to suffer, this kind of psychological pressure can be imagined, everyone gritted their teeth, even if it is not for themselves, they have to think about others.

Gu Zhenhua's training day and night, rain or shine, made Li Xu and the others couldn't help frowning.

"I think back then, Grandpa Qi's training of the Qi family army was only a small training in three days, and a major training in five days. It seems that this kind of training method of the virtuous brother, I am afraid that the soldiers will not be able to bear it? ”

"If you can't bear it, you have to eat, the opponent we face is ten times more ferocious than the Japanese Kou, so our soldiers are also ten times stronger than the Qi family's army, otherwise we can't defeat the enemy!"

Hearing Gu Zhenhua's words, Li Xu's eyes were also wide, and his mouth could be stuffed into a goose egg. Speaking of Qi Jiguang, for the generals of the Ming Dynasty, it is the heavens who are high above. If you can learn from Qi Jiguang, you can beat the whole world, but Gu Zhenhua actually said that he wanted to pass the Qi family's army, which made Li Xu also dumbfounded.

"Second brother, do you think we can't do it?"

Li Xu lowered his head and said nothing, obviously lacking confidence.

"What is in front of us is a necessary topic, if we don't win the Qi family's army, we can't win the Manchu Qing Tartars, we only have one way to die in battle. The whole army must work together, not only the new military camp, but also the old brothers of the original Guanning Army and Shanxi soldiers must also keep up with the training, this is our life! ”

Li Xu had no choice but to nod: "I will supervise the training, but if it is such a round-the-clock training, even if it is a meal of meat, I am worried that the soldiers will not be able to stand it." ”

"Let's have a joust!" Gu Zhenhua suddenly smiled and said: "Shame and courage, let's hold a martial arts competition for new veterans to see who is the hero and who is the bear." ”

Li Xu suddenly had a strange expression in his eyes, and couldn't help but say: "Seventh brother, the recruits are full of calculations, and the training is only one or two months, how can you compare with those brothers who are old in the army." I don't question the ability of the seventh brother, it's just that it's too bad, if I can have half a year, maybe the new army can barely fight. ”

Gu Zhenhua waved his hand: "The Tartars won't give us so much time, and after ten days, the new army and the veterans will compete." If the Forces nouvelles win by chance, we will reorganize the armed forces and extend the model of the new army to all troops, and in the future, we will recruit troops in accordance with the methods of the new army. As for those old brothers, if they can keep up, they will naturally be promoted to higher ranks, but if they can't keep up and are unwilling to endure hardships, I have silver and land, and I guarantee that they will be a rich man. ”

Listening to Gu Zhenhua say this, Li Xu is not a fool, and it suddenly became clear that this is Gu Zhenhua's need to completely rectify An**. In the past, the reorganization into ten battalions was, in the final analysis, a temporary measure, and after settling down and having a base area, Gu Zhenhua was going to form a unit that belonged to him completely.

At this time, Li Xu had only one thought in his mind: Daddy is wise!

After Li Jibo arrived in Xuzhou, he kept reminding Li Xu to follow in the footsteps of Gu Zhenhua, I am afraid that the old man has already seen today.

"Please rest assured, I will go all out to play this game!"

Gu Zhenhua also smiled and grabbed Li Xu's big hand, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled, all without saying a word.

……

For ten days, An ** was all alarmed, a group of milky hairy children who wanted to compete with Lao Xingwu, it was like a birthday boy eating arsenic, and he was tired and crooked.

"Monkey, do you think our grandfather has any tricks?" Hu Shan asked Hou Sanhuai while nibbling on steamed buns.

"I'm not a worm in Grandpa Guo's stomach, how do I know. It's just that I heard that it's been three days, and Guogong is still in the training queue, and there is no change, I really don't know what kind of calculation Guogong is playing. ”

Everyone else is confused, but Gu Zhenhua is full of confidence.

"Brothers, you have also heard about the competition, do you have faith?"

"Yes!" Kang Dali and a few others shouted out, and the others' eyes were shining, and they didn't dare to look at Gu Zhenhua.

"Hahaha, everyone is worried, and it is understandable. But Benjue has a trick up his sleeve to ensure that you can defeat the enemy! ”

"Grandpa Guo, what kind of trick is it, can you hurry up?"

"It's very simple, no matter if they have a thousand moves, you only learn one move, and in the next seven days, day and night, I have practiced and eaten thoroughly, and when it comes to the competition, I guarantee that you will win!"
