Every day, a platoon of loaded guns should be arranged to be guarded, and several exits of the cottage should be armed. Of course, Long Qian didn't dare to be careless, the news that the Meng mountain thieves had returned to the mountain may have reached the ears of the officials and soldiers, and if they were not guarded against, they would be completely finished if they were attacked by a surprise attack.

The training was sometimes given to a few company commanders, and Long Qian gave lessons to Ning Shijun's staff group, which was attended by very few people, usually the staff group and the officers he designated.

Long Qian, an officer above the platoon commander, is called an officer, and the officers like this majestic title. However, Long Qian stipulated that officers must do better than soldiers in training, and if their grades are not above the middle line in a month, they will be demoted.

Long Qian records the results of training every day, he has a paper book, paper is the most lacking thing in the cottage, thanks to some from David's uncle, Long Qian cherishes it very much.

Long Qian used a pencil to record the training results of each company, platoon and squad on white paper. The staff team doubled as recorders, helping Long Qian with a job that was increasingly feared by the soldiers.

The results of the record will be published. Every week (Shandong people generally understand the meaning of worship), Long Qian will make a comment on the training of this week, and evaluate the winning class, the winning platoon and the winning company, and also evaluate the worst class, the worst row and the worst company. Reward for being good – get a day off, or arrange for the kitchen to add food. Those who are poor will be punished for cleaning and doing hard labor.

This kind of evaluation greatly stimulated the squad and platoon company commanders, and those who won generally did not choose to rest, and those who lost worked hard to train.

It is also strange to say that since entering the large-dose military training, the atmosphere of the cottage has changed greatly, and the exhausted officers and soldiers who have been trained every day no longer fight and gamble as in the past (which has been forbidden by military regulations) and tell those obscene stories, but desperately shake their spirits, in order to better complete the training subjects below, and the whole mountain glows with a kind of atmosphere that was completely absent before.

There is a cultural class every other night. Two contents, one is literacy. Long Qian asked Ning Shijun to compile a literacy textbook based on a thousand-character text, made chalk out of lime, and taught soldiers to read and write on a homemade blackboard. If you don't want to study, you don't force it, and every once in a while, Long Qian will personally organize an exam, the content is literacy, and the second is writing. Soldiers with good literacy scores will be rewarded by Long Qian, usually meat dishes. With this meat dish, the number of people who volunteered to become literate is increasing day by day. However, officers will not be rewarded, and Long Qian demanded that officers above the platoon commander level must be literate, and he stressed that literacy is a task that officers must complete, and those who fail to pass the literacy number within the specified time will be dismissed if they fail to pass the individual examination.

The other is storytelling. The literacy in the front is taught by Ning Shijun, a talented talent, and the later stories will be told by Long Qian. Of course, the story will be more voluntary, and it will come and go freely. However, after only three lectures, the story meeting was basically full, and the seven women and many injured and sick people who could move insisted on going to the courtyard to listen to Long Qian's story. Long Qian's stories are all historical figures, such as the Three Kingdoms and the Water Margin characters that everyone is more or less familiar with, especially the Water Margin, the story takes place in Shandong, and the vast majority of the people on the mountain are Shandong people. In addition to the familiar Three Kingdoms Water Margin, Long Qian also told some other stories, which everyone likes to hear, such as the stories of the white-robed Xue Rengui, the flying general Li Guang, and Qin Qiong's selling horses, which are very popular with the soldiers.

The story will usually be told for half an hour, and when everyone is still reluctant to end, Long Qian ends his story and orders everyone to wash their feet and sleep.

Hot water is a must for hot water every day, everyone must do it, and they must not be lazy. If anyone omits this matter of mother-in-law and mother-in-law in the eyes of many people, Long Qian's punishment is to practice, or to run the mountain with a stone on his back, or to stand in a military posture in the square.

Fang Shijun had read history books, and found that more of the stories and characters that Long Qian told were from the official history rather than folklore, which made him very surprised and admired. Get rid of the romance scripts that everyone loves to hear, Long Qian tells more stories about this dynasty, the suppression and massacre of the Han people by the Qing soldiers entering the customs, what Yangzhou ten days Jiading three massacres, was told by Long Qian miserable. Talking about the invasion of foreign troops during the Daoguang and Xianfeng periods, the invasion and occupation of 64 tuns in Jiangdong by Tsarist Russia during the Daoguang period, the massacre of tens of thousands of innocent villagers and the infiltration of Outer Mongolia and the invasion of Xinjiang, and the causes and results of the war between the Qing army and France in Vietnam, China was defeated without defeat, and France won without victory. Talk about the First Sino-Japanese War five years ago, the defeat of the Beiyang Naval Division in the Yellow Sea, the content of the Treaty of Shimonoseki, and the concept of 230 million taels of silver for China. There is also the occupation of Jiaoao by Germany the year before last with the help of the teaching plan...... Because the matter is in Shandong, everyone is even more indignant when they hear it.

At this time, the soldiers who listened to the lecture were extremely angry.

Ning Shijun thought, Long Qian's words are really good, but they are all naked rebellion against the court, because the result of what he said, in addition to the hatred of the foreign powers, is even more hatred for the incompetent court.

The American named David, who was brought back to the mountain by Long Qian, always came to listen to the lecture, but for fear of leaking, this foreigner was never released. When Long Qian talked about the Jiaoao Lesson Case, he retorted, believing that the people who attacked the church were thugs and scoundrels. The priests traveled thousands of miles to China to spread their teachings, and they did so many things for the ignorant fools, but Chinese did not know how to thank them, but attacked them......

David's words, of course, caused outrage, for most of them were spoken in Chinese. This guy has been working hard to learn Chinese and does not miss any opportunity to communicate with Chinese. Because of Long Qian's strict order not to discriminate against discrimination and abuse, David's life on the mountain was leisurely, but today he was clearly guilty of public anger......

Lu Shan grabbed David's collar and raised his big fist to beat the foreign boy. Long Qian drank Lu Shan and said something, not only for Lu Shan, but also for everyone, "No one is allowed to bully him, Lu Shan, let go of David." Jiang Yun ran over and saved David from Lu Shan's clutches.

"David, I apologize to you for the rudeness of my men, please forgive me." Long Qian said in English, "However, your words also insulted them, and there is a reason why they are angry, understand?" ”

"Your men are savage." David muttered.

"Listen to me tell me why they are angry, and you may not think they are barbaric." Long Qian changed back to Chinese, and he knew that David could understand it.

"Freedom of religion is right, everyone has the freedom to choose their own beliefs. Whether you believe in Buddhism, or believe in the Tao, or whether you are the god of Erlang or the Lord of the land, it is your own business, including believing in your Christ, it is all right. But," Long Qian raised his voice, "the Chinese don't believe in foreign religions, that's also their power, right?" However, foreign religions, especially in Shandong, were more often accompanied by German warships. Relying on the strength of your ships and guns, the places that forcibly occupy China are regarded as concessions, and in the concessions, you make your own laws and collect taxes, as if they were a country within a country. In other words, many of the clergy of those churches, relying on the strength of their own country's armed forces, completely ignored the laws and regulations of the Chinese government, ran rampant in the villages, forcibly occupied fertile land to build churches, and adopted the attitude of shielding religious believers when there were conflicts between believers and non-believers, regardless of the reason. I'm not making it up, am I? Since 1840, the Western powers, including you, the United States, have always tried to open the door of China in various ways with a lofty posture, and what is the purpose of opening the door? Do you know in your heart that you are helping the Chinese to move towards your so-called civilization? Is it to help China get rich? Isn't it okay for Chinese to vent their bullying on foreigners? ”

The situation of the Boxer Rebellion in Shandong has been established, especially in the area of Caozhou. The reason for this is directly related to the forced proselytizing by foreigners and blindly favoring the people. David has been in China for more than half a year, so he naturally knows that Long Qian is not talking nonsense. For Long Qian's rebuttal, he snorted and panted, but he couldn't find the words to refute it.

So everyone admires the commander even more, this foreign devil, makes the commander not angry, right?

Zhou Yi, the deputy commander of the Mengshan Army, still had a leg injury, so Fu Sangou, who was waiting for Zhou Yi to recuperate, said to Zhou Yi, "Captain Zhou, your injury is getting better day by day, I have to go to training, or I have to go to the room to make big cakes for everyone." ”

"For what?"

"Everyone practiced very hard, and there were rewards for practicing well. I don't want to be a gang leader. ”

"Really? What do you practice? ”

Fu Sangou talked about the content of the training, and Zhou Yi was very interested. Let Fu Sangou help him to watch, he admits that the soldiers of the eighth team are strong, and he knows that Long Qian must have the secret of training.

Sun Juan stopped Zhou Yi and said that Captain Long had orders, and now he was growing bones, and he was absolutely not allowed to go to the ground.

Zhou Yi looks down on Sun Juan and these bitches, but Long Qian respects them and strictly prohibits harassment, and even verbal molestation is absolutely not allowed. So Zhou Yi also remained polite to them. Since Sun Juan was not allowed to move, she just rested. However, after his injuries were basically healed, he also walked out of the temple to see the training in the square in front of the temple.

If Long Qian has been grasping the cross-country running, it can be understood, but what puzzled Zhou Yi was Long Qian's queue drill.

The women who got rid of the medical team, as long as they were not sick or injured on the mountain, they had to go to the playground to practice the queue, including the ordnance team of Wu Lie's four people.

What's the use of this?

Take the class as a unit, stand upright, take a break, turn left to right, walk in unison, stand upright and do not move, what is called standing in a military posture......

The people of the original eighth and sixth teams were better, and the people of the third team were simply complaining. The queue drill looks simple, but after a day of practice, I am as tired as a dog, and I don't even have the strength to eat. I'd rather run up the mountain than play with this useless thing in front of the temple.

Long Qian personally participated in the training every day, sent a platoon commander to be the star officer on duty, shouted the password, and determined the winning squad platoon of the day after the most reluctance, and the winner would add a dish, and there would be no food to eat after the most lu.

The dinner in the evening was generally radish pickles, but the deprivation of the right to eat salted radishes still made the loser very faceless.

The ranking of each class is directly assessed, and if two classes in a certain row are ranked at the bottom, then the whole row will be affected.

Because Long Qian insisted on participating in the training, he asked the soldiers to do the same. The soldiers did not dare to openly resist.

For example, standing in a military posture and standing motionless in one posture for half an hour or even an hour is really not a simple matter. To the surprise of the soldiers, there must be a standing posture every day, and the resting soldiers will appreciate Long Qian's training as an ironclad program.

Someone asked Zhou Yi to report that this kind of training was too boring. Of course, they are all remnants of the old third team or other teams who returned to the mountain with Zhou Yi. But Zhou Yi said, Captain Long is practicing with you, what are you shouting?

No one knows what the effect of doing so will be.

The effect was not long in coming. That is, in less than a month, the captains and platoon commanders found that their soldiers had been reborn, first of all, discipline, when any order was given, the soldiers would shout loudly "Yes!" ”。 The second is that the physical fitness of the soldiers has improved significantly, and it only takes half an hour to run ten miles of mountain roads with a weight of 30 catties, except for a very small number of soldiers, most of them have reached this standard.
