"One-two-one...... One-two-one......"

A neat queue of recruits was running across the dock shouting slogans, all of them wearing green short coats (T-shirts) and carrying a large 30-pound backpack behind them, all of whom were already soaked with sweat.

"Attention, the third pier in front of the target, you can rest for half an hour after arriving at the destination!" With the command of the instructor who led the team, the tired faces of all the recruits began to cheer up, and everyone mustered up their spare strength to move forward.

Hai Boss is in this group of recruits, today is more than 40 days of Hai Boss's soldier, from the beginning of the worry and fear to now gritted his teeth and insisted, Hai Boss is transitioning from a fisherman to a soldier, as long as he survives the three-month recruit period, Hai Boss will become an official member of the Weihai Guardian Division, but Hai Boss is very doubtful that he can survive the three-month recruit period.

"Hurry up, hurry up, haven't you eaten enough this morning?" The instructor's vicious scolding sounded in his ears again.

Looking at the fierce instructors next to the recruits, the craftsmen and pedestrians watching around them all looked secretly, and a merchant who had just arrived in Weihaiwei and was carrying a burden complained to a middle-aged uncle who sold vegetables next to him: "No wonder the old saying says that a good man is not a soldier, and he is not a nail, and I see that this soldier is pinning his head to the waistband of his trousers and doing the work of licking blood with a knife, not to mention his life during the war, even if he is trained so hard by the official on weekdays, what is the life of a person?" ”

The vegetable seller gave him a disdainful look and said: "Don't laugh at others, you kid, I see that even if you want to be a soldier, you don't have to be you, do you see it?" He is a strong guy with clear water, and it is estimated that your small physique will be kicked out of the official in less than ten days, saving you from eating and drinking in the water division. ”

"Kick me out?" The merchant was not convinced when he heard this, patted his chest and said: "I am only thirty years old this year, and it is no problem for a figure like me to carry a load of fifty pounds of goods for a few hours, if I am willing to be a soldier, it is estimated that those who are officials will be happy to die." ”

"Euthanasia?" The vegetable seller sneered, looked at him, and shook his head disdainfully: "It's not that the old man looks down on you. Wait until you can run twenty miles with a thirty-pound burden on your back, and then swim three miles in the sea before saying this. ”

"I ......"

The merchant was dumb for a moment, opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, and then said stupidly: "What's the use of practicing well, it's not a severed head meal." ”

"Cut ......" the vegetable seller looked at the merchant with disdain, "People's monthly salary is two taels and two buckets of white rice, and many people can't eat this kind of severed head rice now." ”

"What? Two taels of silver a month and two buckets of white rice? The merchant shouted out loud, but now he can't be calm, he walks the streets and alleys for a month, and if he is lucky, he can get a whole tael of silver. If you are unlucky, it is a few hundred dollars, but I didn't expect these Qiu Ba to have two taels of silver and two buckets of rice a month, and this day is really not too comfortable.

"How...... It's red-eyed. Seeing the surprised appearance of the merchant, the vegetable seller sneered and was about to continue to say a few words, but saw the merchant immediately striding forward with his burden. The vegetable seller couldn't help but ask loudly, "Seller, why are you going?" ”

The voice of the seller came from afar: "I'll go and see if the sailor is still recruiting......"

"Huhuhu......"

Boss Hai panted as he ran, and the thirty-pound burden on his back was like a small mountain at the moment, so that he could barely straighten his waist, and his whole lungs were hot as if they were on fire.

"No, you can't fall down, even if you have to fall, you have to get a place to fall again!"

Boss Hai cheered himself up while turning his head to look at his companion next to him. He found that the companions around him were actually similar to him, everyone was gritting their teeth to support, and many people had already fallen halfway down, but these people had already been helped up by their companions behind them and ran towards their destination. This is a bloody lesson. Last time, Boss Hai saw with his own eyes that there was another team of recruits who left behind a few recruits who were still halfway through the cross-country with weights, but after arriving at the destination, they were severely taught a lesson by the instructor, and all the recruits in the team had no food for a day. The instructor said. Those who abandon the robe in the middle of the road now will also abandon the robe when they go to the battlefield in the future, and this kind of behavior is the most despised. Finally, the instructor summed up this behavior in six words.

"Don't abandon, don't give up!"

Boss Hai silently read the words taught by the instructor, and encouraged the rest of his body to rush forward desperately, and when their team of recruits finally rushed to the end, all of them were lying on the ground, and few of the recruits in the team could still move.

In a corner that Boss Hai and the others didn't notice, Guo Jingxian and several officers were silently observing them.

A Qian Zong looked at the recruits who were lying on the ground and asked with a smile: "Boss Guo, the Su zhì of this batch of recruits is not bad, right?" ”

"Well, it's good, they're all good seedlings!" Guo Jingxian nodded calmly, "But we are sailors, sufficient physique and perseverance are just basic, and then we have to let them all become white stripes in the waves one by one, these soldiers still have a lot to learn?" Swimming, sailing, steering, operating artillery, learning to use a sextant, and so on, there's so much to learn. ”

"Yes! It's just too much! This Qian Zong also sighed with emotion, but then his face showed a look of admiration, "Boss Guo, where did you say that Marquis Yue got this thing from, we have been out of the sea all our lives by looking at the astrology to identify the direction of positioning, but since we have this sextant, we only need to measure it and then calculate it like this, we don't have to worry about getting lost, but the only disadvantage is that this thing is too difficult to operate, and after measuring it once, you have to calculate a lot of things to figure out where you are. It's a human life. ”

At the mention of this, everyone nodded in unison. The working principle of the sextant seems simple, but it has to be converted to get the specific position, which also involves some mathematical knowledge. This is more uncomfortable than asking for their lives for most of these people who don't know a basket of words, and many people can be said to have taken off a layer of skin to understand this sextant.

Because there was a shortage of people around Yue Yang who could fight in the water, Yue Yang allowed Guo Jingxian to recruit his former companions to rebuild the Weihai Wei Shui Division, and Yue Yang also opened a Weihai Wei Shui Shi School in Weihaiwei, which was specially used to train the officers of the Water Division, with Yue Yang as the principal of the school and Guo Jingxian as the vice principal. Regarding the purpose of Yueyang's opening of this naval division military management school, Guo Jingxian naturally knew and understood it very well, and to put it bluntly, the officers trained by this school would share his power in the future. But even if he knew, he couldn't say a word. After all, even he would do this, no one would leave a sailor who had spent a lot of materials to be in charge of a single person, even if he trusted this person.

"Beep beep ......"

With a long shrill whistle, all the recruits who were resting on the dock began to rush towards the place where the whistle sounded, and in less than a minute everyone lined up in a long line of more than a ten. In front of them, a number of long tables were set up, buckets of white rice were carried out, hundreds of cooks in the same green short coats with spoons were busy cooking for the recruits, and in front of them, countless recruits were lining up with aluminum alloy lunch boxes and spoons to eat.

The food of the troops is very simple, each person has a large spoonful of rice, a small half spoonful of green vegetables, and some tofu, potatoes and fatty meat, which are really fat. A mouthful of oil can be drained with one bite. These fatty meat and lard are all obtained by Yue Yang from modern time and space, for these high-fat and high-calorie things, in the modern time and space of overnutrition, most people are afraid to avoid them, but in this era of general malnutrition, it is people's favorite thing, and for many people, they can only taste two bites during the New Year.

"Uh......"

After eating the last piece of fat in the lunch box, Hai Lao couldn't help but burp, and then staggered to a huge hot bucket that was half a person high, scooped half a spoonful of soup and drank the leftovers in the lunch box. As a result, after eating, all recruits' lunch boxes were as clean as a dog had licked them.

After finishing eating, Boss Hai found a slightly flat stone and leaned on it, closed his eyes and recuperated, almost all the recruits around him were doing the same as him, because they all knew that in half an hour, those fierce instructors who were always with a straight face would drive them up and continue the inhumane training, so any time to rest was extremely precious. After so many days of training. No one is going to waste precious time off.

When Boss Hai was leaning against the stone and falling asleep, he seemed to hear a footstep coming over, and then a familiar voice sounded next to him: "Boss Hai...... Sea Boss! ”

"What!" Boss Hai didn't raise his head, just asked lazily.

The person who spoke was none other than Boss Hai's playmate since childhood. He was the boss of the sea who chased the ass of the boss of the sea to Weihaiwei on the third day after joining the new army, and was also assigned to the recruit team where the boss of the sea was.

"Boss Hai, have you heard? Our Marquis Yue is going to build a water master school here. Specially used to train naval officers, who can join this school, as long as you stay in this school for two years, you will at least be a gun commander or a third officer after you go out! ”

Since he followed the butt of Boss Hai, he became a soldier and ate a big pot of rice, and the oil and water during this period of time were very sufficient, and the face of the six lepers, who was originally full of vegetables, also became ruddy, and his spirit was much better.

Looking at the expression of the six lepers' eyebrows, Boss Hai reluctantly interrupted his dream: "It's just you...... Also three officers to return the artillery commander? You haven't woken up yet, have you? ”

"Who said that!" The six lepers were unhappy, and said even more with their necks raised: "Who doesn't know if I can really be admitted to this water master school?" ”

"It's a school, not a school!" Boss Hai corrected.

"It's all the same anyway, aren't all schools for people to enter." The six lepers didn't care about this, but continued to agitate: "Boss Hai, I know that you are smart when you are young, although you have never been to school, but I remember that you still studied with Uncle Geng for a few days when you were a child, not to mention how good it is, at least there should be no problem in writing a letter to the family, I think you should try the wine bottle, anyway, you can't suffer any loss from this thing, if you can't pass the test, you will come back to be this big soldier, if you are admitted...... Hey...... You're just going to be there. ”

Don't say it, when the six lepers said this, the boss of Houhai was really a little moved. Just like the six lepers said, although he only studied with Uncle Geng, an old talent in the village, for a period of time when he was a child, although he didn't know many words, he still made a living by writing a letter, and since he was going to recruit students. He can also sign up for a try, anyway, he won't lose anything, if he is admitted and wait until a year or two later to come out of the Sailor School, then the most inferior will be a low-level officer. What kind of official do you care about these days, as long as you hang up the official word, it will be different, and it is definitely a face-saving thing to say it!

However, Boss Hai is a steady person, although he has some intention in his heart, he still doesn't show it, just silently thinking about the image of this matter......

Just when Boss Hai was pondering whether to apply for the Sailor School, Fan Wencheng, who had a gray nose here in Yueyang, also returned to Shengjing and reported what happened to Weihaiwei to Dolgon, and after the report, Dolgon fell into a deep silence before asking, "Then Yueyang really said that?" ”

Fan Wencheng said respectfully: "Your Majesty." That's exactly what Yue Yang said. ”

At this time, it was the early dynasty, and Fan Wencheng's report was naturally heard by the Manchu officials in the hall, and many people's faces showed anger. Duoduo immediately stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, that Yueyang is really too deceitful, and the courtiers are not willing to lead 30,000 horses to pacify the Horqin tribe and teach that Yueyang a lesson!" ”

As soon as Dolgon's words fell, Haoge, who was standing next to him, said without raising his eyelids: "Prince Deyu is really a good skill, obviously Yueyang provoked our Qing Dynasty, but you want to be angry with the Horqin tribe, are you playing with the east and west?" ”

"You ......"

A mouthful of old blood almost spurted out. After Dolgon ascended the throne, he naturally would not lose his brother and sworn friend, and soon found a reason to promote him from Prince Yu to Prince Yu of Heshuo Deyu, which Haoge had long been unhappy with. Naturally, he took this opportunity to sneer. And this sentence is too poisonous, almost pointing at Duoduo's nose and scolding him for bullying the soft and afraid of the hard!

Duoduo gritted his teeth and shouted to Hauge: "Prince Su, are you saying that this king is greedy for life and afraid of death? ”

Hauge rolled his eyelids: "I didn't say that, who knows this thing." ”

"You're looking for death!"

What kind of temper is Duoduo? How to endure this humiliation, he immediately turned around and grabbed Hauge's shirt and was about to punch him. Hauge said without fear: "Come on, come on...... Hit this one. If you don't dare to fight, you're not a good man! ”

"You really don't dare to hit you!" Duoduo gritted his teeth and was about to punch him, but he was stopped by the crowd next to him. Although Duoduo is Dolgon's younger brother, Hauge is not without support, and he still left him some team, such as the original yellow flag and now the deputy commander of the white flag, Aobai, the white flag Gushan, Tan Tai, Sonny and a group of people immediately stood up to stop Duoduo, and the other ministers on Duoduo's side rushed up for fear that Duoduo would suffer a loss, and the hall was in chaos for a while.

Looking at the chaotic hall like a vegetable market, Dolgon was so angry that he almost vomited blood, stood up suddenly, picked up the glass paperweight on the dragon case, and fell to the ground, making a crisp sound, everyone looked back and saw that Dolgon was angry, and then gradually quieted down.

Dorgon roared, "What do you want to do, do you know what this place is?" This is the Chongzheng Palace...... It is the place where my important ministers of the Qing Dynasty deliberate, not a place for you to fight, if you really want to fight, you can make an appointment to go outside the city at the same time, and I don't care about you if you kill a river of blood! It's all dead, and the world is quiet! ”

Seeing that Dorgon was really angry, Duoduo said with some grievances: "Your Majesty...... It's not a subordinate ......."

"Shut up!" Dolgon didn't wait for him to finish speaking, so he stopped him, "As the prince of Heshuo Deyu, you should lead by example, but if you look at yourself, you move your fists at every turn, do you still have the appearance of a prince?" You like to fight so much, why don't I send you outside Jinzhou City to fight the Ming army, you can live to the death! ”

"And you Hauge!" Dolgon turned his head to Hauge and said: "You and Duoduo, one is the Prince of Deyu and the other is the Prince of Su, both of whom are descendants of Taizu, and it stands to reason that they should support each other and help each other, but you are sneering and mocking everywhere, do you have the appearance of a prince in your heart?" ”

Hearing Dolgon's reprimand, the corner of Hauge's mouth showed a sneer and was about to speak, but was stopped by Sonny on the side with a stern look, Hauge remembered that it was no longer what it used to be, and the person sitting on the throne above was no longer his own Lao Tzu Huang Taiji, but the sworn enemy Dolgon, who once hated him to the bone, if he dared to confront him on the Jinluan Palace, I am afraid that he would really order the guards to take him down on the spot, and then he would peel off his skin even if he did not die.

Thinking of this, Hauge reluctantly bowed his hand to Dolgon: "Your Majesty, the minister is indeed impulsive, please forgive the emperor!" ”

"Hmph...... You know you're impulsive! Dolgon snorted coldly, thinking about it for a moment, and then snorted before sitting down again.

After Dolgon sat down again, he asked, "What do you think of what Fan Aiqing said just now?" ”

Hearing this question, everyone fell silent again, and everyone finally decided to agree to Yueyang's conditions after discussing for a long time this time...... (To be continued......)
