Just when Wall struggled to find a way to restrain his recruited men, began to carry out rigorous basic training, and fantasized that he would soon go out to kill all sides, and then rely on military merit to obtain a knighthood and then become a nobleman in this distant Chinese land, the nightmare came.

No, it can't be called a nightmare, it can only be said to be madness, because he found that his group of people could not train properly at all, because almost every day a large number of people in the elite army came to visit him in the name of military exchanges.

At the beginning, Wall welcomed this so-called military exchange, after all, he knew that he had too few men, and he was afraid that he would not be able to get more foreigners to come over as soldiers in a short time, so when it came to the real battle, he had to rely on the "big army" of the elite army as a cover, and their foreign gun team was the main elite main force.

Since this is the case, it is still necessary to deal well with the Jingwu army in advance and be familiar with each other's details and advantages and disadvantages, so as to achieve better cooperation in future battles.

But is it necessary to come every day, in the morning and in the afternoon, and every wave of people is not the same? Moreover, how does Wall think that those Qing people look at their people very strangely, every action of the people on their side, even swearing in broken Chinese, can make them exclaim, which makes him very uncomfortable, feeling that they look at themselves, a bit like looking at a gorilla.

For this reason, after seven consecutive days, when he found that the training could not continue at all, and the discipline that had been put together at the beginning began to slacken, Wall finally couldn't help it, and began to run to Li Yongji to roar and complain, demanding that this ridiculous military exchange be stopped.

"I understand your feelings." Facing Wall, who was blushing and thick-necked, Li Yongji just spread his hands and made an American-style shrug, "But, since you are all my troops, you will definitely have to cooperate in the future, and since you will cooperate in the future, it is also necessary to understand in advance." ”

"Then you don't have to come every day!" Wall exclaimed, "And yours have five or six hundred people when they come, more than mine!" It's coming, it's coming, and when we're still training, it's very uncomfortable for my soldiers to be pointing at the edge at close range, you know? They all said they felt like monkeys being watched! ”

"This is a complete misunderstanding!" Li Yongji smiled, "Everyone is just interested in your Western-style exercises, and they just want to learn and observe." ”

Indeed, in order to relieve the fear of the soldiers of the Jingwu Army against foreigners, Li Yongji organized personnel to visit the barracks of the foreign gun team every day to observe their training at close range, and also sent many interpreters to the past.

The reason why 600 people were sent over at a time was that there were too many Jingwu soldiers and they had a training plan, so they could only come in turns, and secondly, there were too many people, and they could also reduce their fear of foreigners when they first came into contact. Before they get in touch, they will do their homework in advance, such as what questions to ask, what projects to see, and after the contact and exchange visits, they have to organize a small meeting and write down the exchange experience.

To put it bluntly, Li Yongji used this method to make this group of young soldiers of the Jingwu Army understand that there is nothing terrible about white people, except for the difference in skin color and slightly taller height, everything else is the same, the same is to eat whole grains, at most they like to eat meat, not to eat children who grow up drinking human blood, nor do they like to eat raw meat, but like to eat cooked food, even if they eat so-called steak, they usually have to be medium-rare. (The key to the steak is the part, most of these whites are grassroots, and it is unlikely that they will eat too good steak, so most of them are medium-rare)

In addition, observing their drill training at close range can also make the soldiers of the Jingwu Army understand that their drill methods are not worse than theirs, and even better, more scientific, and more humane, at least if the soldiers of the Jingwu Army make mistakes in the training process now, most of them use high-intensity physical training, such as running instead of corporal punishment, and here it is directly whipping.

Not to mention the discipline, these foreigners walking in line are not as good as the array of the Jingwu Army, and there are many small problems, spitting is a common thing, and the Jingwu Army has basically put an end to this phenomenon, because spitting is to be locked up in a small black room.

"However, this Yan zhòng has affected the training of our troops!" Wall, who didn't know Li Yongji's true thoughts, began to yell, "If this continues, the training will not be able to go on at all, which is equivalent to letting you spend money to raise a bunch of waste who can't fight, do you really think it's good?" ”

"Of course, I wish it was." Li Yongji thought so in his heart, but his mouth was, "Okay, okay, I can not let them go every day, but the exchange activities can't be stopped, after all, we will have to cooperate with the battle in the future." Well, you see, according to your Western algorithm, seven days a week, you train, two, four, six, how about this? ”

"No, there are still too many exchange activities!" Wall immediately shook his head, "Soldiers are here to train, not to play communication activities!" Training one day and playing one day, how can this be a result? ”

"Let's have an exchange on Saturday and Sunday." Li Yongji waved his hand, "You train five days a week, and you have exchange activities on Saturdays and Sundays, so you should have a holiday...... That's it! ”

"This, this ......" Wall frowned, and found that Li Yongji was resolute, but he still sighed, "Okay, you are the boss, you have the final say!" ”

Next, the visit between the two armies, no, is that the exchange activities will be carried out two days a week, that is, on Saturdays and Sundays.

Since the training intensity of both sides is usually very high, everyone regarded this exchange day as a rare time to rest. Especially for the members of the foreign gun team, because Wall has strengthened the intensity of drills on weekdays in order to produce results, which makes the white people here miserable, so they especially cherish the so-called exchange activities twice a week.

However, since it is an exchange activity, it is impossible to just chat and fart, it is too wasteful, so since it was changed to Saturday and Sunday, Li Yongji has added some items and directly changed it to a competition activity of friendship between the two armies.

In other words, there will be many competitions during the two days of exchange activities a week, such as shooting competitions, such as long-distance weight-bearing foot marching competitions, horseback riding competitions, bayonet fighting competitions, rugby competitions, and even fighting rings, that is, fighting competitions, and the winning side will have prizes.

Because the number of Jingwu soldiers is far more than the number of foreign gun teams, so during each game, there will be many onlookers of Jingwu spectators, and in the course of the game, Jingwu troops suddenly found that foreigners are nothing more than this, and many places are not as good as themselves.

For example, in the shooting competition, because the white people of the foreign rifle team played the Sharps rifle for too short a time, and the number of live firing was less, they were not the opponents of the Jingwu Army at all, after all, the live-fire training intensity of the Jingwu Army was very high, and as far as live-fire shooting was concerned, it could be said that all the armies in the whole world were not as capable as the Jingwu Army.

What's more, most of the people who came to participate in the competition were those who had relatively good shooting scores in the elite army, and their age was generally young, and their stability was good, compared with those foreigners with an average age of more than 30, the level of difference was not ordinary.

In addition, because the Jingwu Army has always paid great attention to scientific physical training methods, after so many months of training, coupled with the fact that it usually eats and drinks well, the physical fitness and long-distance marching ability of the Jingwu Army are also very strong, and it is not at all comparable to those whites who are more than 30 years old and do not have much physical training in ordinary times, so there is no suspense in the weight-bearing march.

The horseback riding competition is similar, most of these whites are sailors, and most of them are grassroots, how can they usually have the opportunity to ride horses? That is, Hua Erbai Qiwen will have some of them, but the base is too small, and they are not at all the opponents of the specially selected riders of the Jingwu Army.

The bayonet event was a win-or-loser, with whites even having the upper hand at first. It's not that the people of the Jingwu Army are not skilled enough, but when they are face-to-face with foreigners, they are always subconsciously frightened, and fighting bayonets is the heaviest momentum, and the result is that the Jingwu Army is often defeated.

However, when everyone got used to it, the situation began to equalize, and then it was more wins and fewer losses, especially in the group-style bayonet competition, which basically paid more attention to teamwork and won by the elite army, and often poked the people of the foreign gun team with white spots.

Rugby matches are similar. At first, the rugby players of the Jingwu Army were always frightened by the screaming white players of the other side, so they were very passive, but after getting used to it, the situation was different.

You must know that the rugby players sent by Li Yongji are basically people with a height of about 1.75 meters, and they are not much different from white people in terms of physique, and they usually do a good job in physical training, plus they play this for a longer time, have more experience, and pay more attention to team cooperation, so once they adapt to the other party's chaotic charge, they will soon rely on teamwork to beat the rugby players of the foreign guns team to the north, and even because rugby does not shy away from colliding, and the rugby players of the Jingwu Army have learned how to collide, so they often play a game. The members of the Jingwu Army are fine, but the people of the foreign gun team are always blue and swollen.

Fighting, or boxing matches as foreigners, and ringing fights by Chinese are another matter.

At the beginning, it was basically the foreigners who were tall and the big horses to win, after all, these sailor-based guys were not only taller, but also often fought and had rich fighting experience, and this kind of fighting was free fighting, and there were no rules, so it was the best field for these foreigners.

Later, Li Yongji saw that it was not a problem to do this, so he played a little trick, that is, he used his hands and feet on boxing gloves. On the surface, the foreigner's boxing gloves are as big as the gloves of the Jingwu Army, but in fact, the foreigners' boxing gloves have more cotton, are thicker, and slightly added with water, while the boxing gloves of the Jingwu Army are big, in fact, a lot of cotton is taken out of them, the weight is a lot lighter, and they can also be more powerful when blowing.

In addition to using his hands and feet in boxing gloves, Li Yongji also sent his own guard battalion commander out to deal with the boxers in the ring, intending to create a fighting hero.

The commander of his own guard battalion is called Wu Shouyun, who is the master who took off Wang Yunyi's chin at the beginning. Later, after I found him again, after a little inquiry, I learned that Fu Fu was really a martial arts master.

Wu Shouyun is good at the strong black sand palm, and the kung fu in his hands is quite powerful, however, the strong black sand palm is said to be the palm, in fact, it should be said that the black sand finger.

In addition, you also need to practice finger strength, and use your fingers to support the ground to do push-ups, so the fingers are particularly thick and hard, and the strength is also very strong.

Although you have to wear boxing gloves this time, there is also a boxing method for the strong black sand palm, that is, when it is clenched into a fist, the index knuckle is slightly protruding to form a tip, and hitting people with this tip is aimed at acupuncture points, once it is hit, the damage is particularly great.

In this way, he made small moves with his boxing gloves, plus sent a master to the stage, and formulated tactics in advance according to the characteristics of boxing. To put it simply, it is targeted to use the body to rush and attack, not to give the opponent the opportunity to open the boxing distance with a small jump, and as long as the two sides collide, they will immediately hit the weak point of the other party, so the game is often a collision between the two sides, and the foreigner will fall to the ground, and it will soon end with Wu Shouyun's victory, which will suddenly reverse the situation of the foreigner's fight.

In this way, in the process of the game, the Jingwu army comprehensively suppressed the foreign gun team, coupled with a series of propaganda that took the opportunity to carry out, such as how the Xiongnu army was beaten by the Han Dynasty army and fled westward, and when they fled west, the Westerners who were beaten constantly trembled, etc., made the Jingwu army have a feeling that foreigners are just like this, and the previous failures were all incompetents of the imperial court.

Although in fact this does not prove that the Chinese are stronger than the foreigners, and the whites of this group of foreign guns cannot represent the mainstream of the armies of the Western powers, at least in the hearts of the soldiers of the elite army, they are no longer afraid of foreigners, but have lost their fear, and when they interact with foreigners again, they are no longer as restrained as before, and they can even talk and laugh.

As for these foreigners, they have also realized the reality in many failures, knowing that these soldiers of the Jingwu Army are very strong, and they have been recognized by them, once they are recognized, and they also like these competitions very much, and they can also drink, so they quickly talk and laugh with the soldiers of the Jingwu Army, and even hook their shoulders and backs, but they are also peaceful.

In any case, Li Yongji's goal seems to have been achieved, at least for the officers and soldiers of the Jingwu Army, foreigners are no longer mysterious and terrifying, at most just a group of people of different skin colors and different languages.
