Due to the limited conditions, the confrontation training between companies became a sub-event competition, with a total of four events: queue, cross-country running, obstacle crossing and shooting, and as a result, the second company won two first places (queue and obstacle crossing), one second and one third. Prove that the judgment of the staff officers is accurate.

Wulian is really at the bottom. However, Long Qian was pleased to see that the rearmed former New Army soldiers took the competition very seriously, and won the second place in the team in the shooting event, but the other three were held back. This result also proved that the training of the new army was basic and sounded the alarm for the four "old companies".

After the game, Long Qian praised Wulian, especially pointing out that Wulian's attitude in participating in the competition was very good, showing a desire to win. As long as you have this kind of energy, I believe that you will become a strong man in the future. Long Qian pointed out that because of the difference in training content with the Mengshan Army, the Fifth Company did not systematically conduct training in several aspects, which led to poor results in the queue and other aspects. It doesn't matter, just catch up.

Long Qian pointed out in particular that the military training currently being conducted by the whole army is advanced, and you should believe that the training method I have given is the best at present, and even better than that taught by German instructors. This will be proven in future battles: if we are inferior to our opponents, then there is something wrong with our training methods. In turn, it proves that our training methods are good. Of course, the reason for winning is not only training, but also morale, logistics and even luck. But the most important factor in training is to sweat more in peacetime and to shed less blood in wartime. Long Qian also pointed out that the current training is not complete and systematic, and it needs to be continuously improved in the future. Don't be complacent with good companies, don't be discouraged if you're poor, just catch up!

With the smooth progress of the training, the military regulations set by Long Qian were gradually accepted by the officers and soldiers, indicating that there were fewer and fewer people who violated the military regulations. Even Ma Mian, who had been confined three times in a row, had not made a mistake for a full month.

Long Qian seems to be particularly fond of making rules, and now he has begun to formulate a variety of regulations.

Regarding the regulations, Long Qian's explanation to the officers is that the regulations are a kind of discipline, but the degree is not as good as the military regulations, and it can be regarded as a second-class military discipline under the military regulations. The punishment for violating military regulations is severe, and the punishment for violating the regulations is much lighter; officers and men who violate the regulations for the first time can adopt the method of criticism and education, and there is no need to make provisions for punishment. If it is repeated, then there is a punishment.

Military discipline is something that everyone must abide by, and to promote military regulations, Long Qian adopted the method of putting officers first and then soldiers. He asked the platoon commander (including the captain and leader of the team directly under him) to first understand the regulations and then take the lead in implementing them.

Long Qian said to the backbone of his Mengshan Army: You must believe that the regulations I have formulated are conducive to the improvement of the quality of the troops, and even more importantly, to the physical and mental health of everyone.

"A soldier must have a spirit that is different from that of ordinary people. Even if you stand in the crowd of civilians without a military uniform, the common people can be identified at a glance. The implementation of military regulations and regulations will certainly achieve such an effect. Long Qian summed it up like this.

The scope of the regulations is very broad. First of all, it started with the internal affairs regulations, which made the officers who had already tasted the wonders of Long Qian's military training feel ridiculous, everyone's initial feeling was that Long Qian's management was too wide, and some things were not taken care of by his parents at home when he was a child, but now their beloved Commander Long has taken it as a rule.

There are 22 internal affairs regulations, and Long Qian spent a whole day summoning a meeting of officers above the platoon commander level to study the regulations one by one. It was a rainy day, except for the officers on duty, all of them gathered in the Guangming Temple to listen to Long Qian's explanation of the internal regulations.

1. Take a shower regularly. Long Qian stipulated that officers must take a bath twice a week, except during wartime. For this reason, Long Qian gave Song Jinguo a task and asked him to solve the problem of the bath in four days. There were carpenters in the logistics group of Song Jinguo, and there was no shortage of wood on the mountain.

Long Qian explained that frequent bathing is a major issue related to the combat effectiveness of the army, and it is as important as all military training, so everyone should not underestimate this matter. The benefits of bathing are many, not just a matter of loving cleanliness.

In fact, several of Long Qian's closest subordinates discovered early on that he was very different from everyone else in terms of living habits. For example, personal hygiene, which seems to be a normal problem for everyone, has become an intolerable problem for Long Qian. At this time, bathing was regarded as a luxury, and many people only took baths three times in their lives, once in birth, once in marriage, and the last time was after death. In fact, about half of the people at the last time don't enjoy it.

But Long Qian had to take a bath almost every day after returning to the mountain from Maoyang Town. Even in the early spring, when the climate was still quite cold, Long Qian would go to his bathing place before going to bed, downstream of the pool formed by the mountain spring on the right side of the Guangming Temple, and let the guards Gu Xiaolin or Li Sancai use a wooden bucket to carry cold water to flush his body, at this time he only wore a pair of shorts, and let the buckets of cold water pour buckets from head to toe in the incomprehensible gaze of everyone.

Probably influenced by him, among the "senior" officers of the Mengshan Army, Lu Shan, Feng Guozhu and Ye Yanbing have also become lovers of cold showers. So there was no significant resistance to this provision. At that time, Long Qian did not ask for it, it was completely voluntary. Now that the weather has entered summer, Long Qian requested, unless it is a wounded soldier or a sick number, everyone should take a bath at least twice every seven days, no, he handed over the task to Song Jinguo, the head of the logistics team, and asked him to build a few wooden barrels for everyone to bathe, it doesn't matter if it is not sealed, it is enough to wash.

For this reason, the catering squad had an additional task, which was to boil hot baths for the officers every night.

(Regarding the food class, we will talk about it later)

Since it is a regulation, it must be operable regulations, how much hot water to add, when to wash, how to wash, all of which are very clear. With the squad as a unit, the squad leader is responsible for organizing the bathing of the whole class, and the platoon leader and company commander have to check. Penalties for violations of the provisions shall be imposed.

Of course, a cold shower is not a good thing, although spring has come, and the temperature is rising every day at a rate that is felt to it, but there are not many people like Long Qian who can use a large bucket of cold water to flush their bodies.

Long Qian decided to prepare a wooden bath bucket for each platoon in the next step, and arrange a shift to take a hot bath every night, so that it could be rotated about once every three days.

2. Shave your head. At present, most of the Mengshan army followed Long Qian to shave their heads. Long Qian likes bald heads, and said that this has many advantages, the first is hygiene, the second is the neatness of the army, and the third is that it is easy to deal with the wound after being injured. But he did not ask the soldiers with braids to cut their braids. It is okay to keep your hair in braids, but you have to keep your hair clean and tidy, including those who are captives who do hard labor, and you have to keep shaving your head once a month.

Third, wash your clothes frequently and exterminate lice. The lice problem does not exist for Long Qian. Under Sun Dewang, Long Qian's personal hygiene was enough to ensure that he did not get lice. But what puzzled Long Qian was that people seemed to be accustomed to this inexterminating parasite, and they seemed to be extremely tolerant of the harassment of this parasite. During the break, Long Qian often saw groups of soldiers taking off their cotton jackets to catch lice, chatting and laughing, and looking for parasites in the crevices of his clothes—a scene that was very difficult for him to accept.

Long Qian is determined to fight lice in the most resolute way. The solution is to solve the problem with regulations.

The solution, in addition to bathing, is to wash the clothes thoroughly. In the Mengshanzhai period - in the future, the old people of the Mengshan Army will use Mengshanzhai and Mengshanjun to distinguish the time period. Everyone doesn't care about military uniforms, it's completely a ringing horse arm, and everyone's clothes are almost all looted. After the attack on Maoyang Town, this team began to be reborn under the leadership of Long Qian, the most intuitive is to put on the military uniform of the Beiyang New Army, this new style of tailor-made military uniform with excellent physique has been welcomed by almost the whole army, but the parasites in the military uniform are still the same, and the scene of catching lice in groups under the sun is still the same.

The cloth stolen from Maoyang Town was immediately put to use by Long Qian after returning to the mountain. That is to make underwear for officers and soldiers, and now, almost everyone is wearing new underwear. Long Qian demanded that each person's underwear be worn for a maximum of three days and must be washed, no matter who it is, they must wash their own clothes on time (which can be done in advance). Because the current regulations are aimed at officers, Long Qian emphasized that no matter who it is, it is not allowed to use soldiers to wash their clothes!

Long Qian's military uniforms are washed by himself, although he has a special guard Li Sancai. The former guards Jiang Yun and Gu Xiaolin were successively transferred by him to join the cavalry reconnaissance team, and Li Sancai later took over this once envied position.

Completely different from the big leaders of the Mengshan thieves in the past, Long Qian rarely used guards to do "private things", such as washing clothes. Of course, he would not use female soldiers, female soldiers who were gradually accepted by the cottage, to wash his uniform.

In view of the fact that there are too many lice in everyone, to the point where there are many lice and do not bite, Long Qian ordered to boil underwear with boiling water, this order is deeply puzzled, Chi Chunxian said that lice are difficult to eradicate, and if you get used to it, there will be no trouble.

But Long Qian is determined to change all that. He told the officers (Long Qian had always spared no effort to refer to his company and platoon commanders by the title of officer, and worked hard to build the initial team of officers) that in my experience, frequent bathing and washing of military uniforms was the best way to get rid of lice. Long Qian stressed that this matter is related to the morale and combat effectiveness of the army, and the officers must take the lead in implementing it, and they must limit each person to completely solve the problem of lice within half a month, and I will personally check the results, and the officers who have done not do well will be shown to the public -- if you are not ashamed.

For laundry, the regulations also make provisions. At present, each person has been issued two sets of captured uniforms, and after months of hard work, both brand new uniforms are in tatters. Long Qian asked the officers to learn how to sew and mend their own clothes, to learn to wash their own clothes, including underwear, and to change their underwear every three days.

Fourth, brush your teeth. In fact, it is a gargle, because there is no salt for everyone to brush their teeth, and the regulations require officers to rinse their mouths morning and evening. Rinse your mouth before breakfast in the morning and after dinner in the evening.

Fifth, food. After Long Qian vigorously rectified the big house, the regulations on food had already taken shape, but they were not written on paper and taken out as regulations. Because everyone is satisfied with the food that has been organized, it is not difficult to add such a thing as washing hands before meals.
