Under the careful preparation, the Xiguan Military Academy finally has some eyebrows. At the beginning of spring, the first batch of cadets recruited by the Xiguan Military Academy began to enroll after passing the assessment, and before entering the school, these cadets first went to various different units to visit, which was actually a week-long actual combat study.

Huang Ke resigned as the commander of the new army at this time and assumed the position of principal of the Xiguan Military Academy; However, anyone with a discerning eye understands in their hearts that Huang Ke's move is just to show his loyalty, and the new army still obeys his command in the end.

The school building of Xiguan Military Academy is located in the east of Xiguan business district, near Baozhilin, which was originally an abandoned school, and the government paid for it at a low price to buy it as a school building.

When he first visited the school building, Huang Ke was a little disappointed; What is this called a school building? It's clearly a garbage heap. The big iron door at the door was rusty, the key could not be unlocked, and finally the fourteen boys led people to pry it open, and pushed the gate open with great effort, and the half-human-high weeds in the yard rushed over, Huang Ke stomped his feet, and the rats were running everywhere, these rats were not holding their heads and running around, but on the contrary, they were observing these "intruders" in the grass.

"Commander, can this place be inhabited?" Yang Yibing saw that the school building was so dilapidated, and he asked a little mouthful.

Huang Ke pulled his face, he didn't expect the school building to be rotten like this, but he knew that there was no way to do it, the funds were tight, there were still so many teams to support, if the military academy built a new school building, the house and land would also be a lot of expenses, and it would be too late to say that it was too late, so it was better to save some money to buy weapons.

"I think it's good here, revolutionary soldiers, you have to not be afraid of hardship; It's a good place, but it's not taken care of for a long time, and it's a little less popular; Yang Yibing, you go back and transfer a battalion of infantry officers from the New Army. ”

"Wait!" As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Ke seemed to think of something again, and Yang Yibing stood and listened.

"One battalion, more than 500 people" Huang Ke muttered to himself, and after a while, his tone suddenly raised and said: "Are the more than 500 students recruited in the first batch still visiting various units?" ”

"Yes, according to the requirements, before the school entrance in the week, they will have to conduct actual combat visits in various units, and now they should all be divided into different units" Yang Yibing was clearly impressed, because the gendarmerie was the unit responsible for the specific implementation of this matter.

Huang Ke thought for a while: "In this way, you go and bring all the students over to gather, the best who has worked as a mason, let them all bring tools, those who have shovels have shovels, and the masons find a way to bring tools too, go." ”

After speaking, Huang Ke walked into the courtyard with big strides.

More than 500 cadets who had not yet enrolled arrived that afternoon from various units, armed with shovels, sickles, or borrowed masons.

The line was a little loose, and the cadets were all standing sparsely together in fat military uniforms, and as of now, they had not received real military training.

Huang Ke saw that the team was not good, so he beckoned Yang Yibing to go to the whole team, Yang Yibing shouted hard at the top of his voice, and it took seven or eight minutes to put the team in shape.

After tidying up the team, Huang Ke took a sickle and walked to the front of the team and said, "There is nothing else to do to gather everyone here today, do you see this courtyard behind?" ”

"Isn't this a garbage heap?" "yes, I've been here to catch rats before, haha...... The crowd was lively and talking, and Yang Yibing wanted to rectify the team but was stopped by Huang Ke.

"That's right, this place used to be a garbage dump, so deserted that rats didn't run away when they saw people; But now, from now on, this will be the school building of our Xiguan Military Academy! That is where you will fight and live in the future. ”

"What? This place is too dilapidated" "yes, how can there be people living here?" ”…… The crowd began to talk again, and Yang Yibing shouted at the top of his voice, "Quiet!" But no one paid any attention.

Huang Ke waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and coupled with Yang Yibing's shouting at the top of his throat, the crowd quieted down again.

"I know it's dirty, it's a garbage dump that used to be called a garbage dump; But you must remember that from today on, this is the school building of our Xiguan Military Academy, and this is the Xiguan of the revolution! Huang Ke, who said a few words, was hoarse.

"You didn't come to Xiguan Military Academy to get promoted and make a fortune, nor did you want to be greedy for pleasure; In order to realize China's reunification at an early date and drive the foreign powers out of China's land as soon as possible, we will pay a lot of hardships and even our lives on this road. ”

"Many of you are the children of rich families, and many of you used to be officers of local troops, and few of you may have really done these jobs, but from today on, you have no distinction between high and low status, you are all revolutionary soldiers of Xiguan Military Academy, because this is the revolutionary Xiguan!"

After speaking, Huang Ke pointed to the school building behind him and asked, "The revolution has never been forced, if any of you are unwilling to participate, you can withdraw now." ”

There was silence in the crowd, these people came with enthusiasm, how could they give up in the face of such a small difficulty?

"I'm not quitting!" Fu Guoqiang, who was standing in the front row, suddenly took the lead and shouted; "I'm not quitting either!" Someone in the crowd followed suit, "Don't quit!" Immediately after, an uplifting voice echoed one after another.

Seeing the enthusiasm of the students, Huang Ke had confidence again, "All of them are here, and the ones with sickles are divided into a team and go to the yard to mow the grass with me; A team of shovels followed Yang Yibing to clean the drainage ditches and toilets behind; The other team went to paint the walls with Fourteen; Now let's get into the action and make sure the fight ends before it gets dark, got it? ”

"Got it!" After the simple assignment of tasks, the work began, the weeds in the yard that were originally one person tall fell down under the sickles of the officers and soldiers, and all kinds of waste and garbage in the house were also cleaned up one after another; The officers and soldiers were very fast, and the collapsed houses and walls were built under the brick knives of the officers and soldiers, and new houses were built.

"There is strength in numbers!" When Huang Ke put down the sickle and was about to sigh, a few rats suddenly came out of the house, because the grass was cleared, the rats had no place to hide; When Huang Ke was about to have the rat killed, he didn't expect more than a dozen soldiers to scream loudly when they saw the rat.

"Hurry up! Catch! Catch! ......" more than a dozen students put down their tools and ran after the mice, and within a few minutes, they caught several big mice.

"Haha, so fat, I've got a good slate." "yes, it's still good to have afternoon tea......?" Huang Ke knew that there were some officers and soldiers from Guangxi in these teams, and in Guangxi, Guangdong, and Fujian, they all had the habit of eating mice, but despite this, Huang Ke still couldn't eat that thing; After all, it's hard to swallow.

After a few hours of hard work, the barren grass in the yard was almost cut, the drainage ditch and toilet at the back were also dug through, the originally collapsed wall was dug clean, and the original messy place became orderly after an afternoon's work.

In the evening, the students began to prepare dinner, and several Guangxi students skinned and washed the captured rats and set up torches to roast them.

There was a lot of oil on the rats, and soon the whole yard was filled with an attractive smell of meat. At this time, some students who like to eat rats gathered around, and everyone ate them one bite at a time.

Huang Ke was also a little tired after mowing the grass for several hours, and when he just sat down to rest for a while, a student with a small head ran over and handed Huang Ke a freshly roasted mouse.

"Commander, let's eat this for you, you're tired all day." The young student handed it over enthusiastically, without the slightest stammer, Huang Ke looked at the roasted mouse, and no matter how much hunger he had in his heart, it disappeared.

But the students all looked at him, if he didn't eat? Huang Ke hesitated for a moment and then took it, he thanked him and took a bite, the fragrant game meat filled his mouth, Huang Ke smiled and said, "Yes, rat meat is also good." ”

The first batch of cadets was uneven, ranging from warlord officers in their thirties and forties to students in their thirties and seventeens, among whom many high-ranking generals emerged during the founding of the country, and many died in many battles later.

Of course, these are all later words, and at this time, Huang Ke was also observing this group of students, in addition to Fu Guoqiang's classmates, there were also some old officers. Huang Ke knew that the first batch of students came from all over the country, so there were all kinds of languages.

In the crowd, a thin young man with a small head caught Huang Ke's attention, the young man put the sickle in his hand in front of him, sat cross-legged and read a book in his hand.

Still reading at this time? Huang Ke couldn't help but be interested, he walked next to the student, and the student still didn't notice Huang Ke's arrival.

"What's your name?" Huang Ke walked up to him and asked. The young man bounced off the ground when he heard this.

He said in a thick accent in the Lianghu area: "Report to the commander, cadets Lin and Zuoda!" ”

Huang Ke was stunned, Lin? Isn't it the marshal who later defected? Thinking of this, Huang Ke suddenly woke up; No, according to the development of history, by this time the red organizations have already appeared, and many years later they will become the leaders of the country.

How did you forget about it? Could it be that he crossed back just to be a second bald head? Huang Ke's psychology is fluttering, can the trajectory of history really not be changed?

Seeing Huang Ke's pale face, the fourteen boys on the side hurriedly walked up, he thought that Huang Ke was overworked, so he held Huang Ke and said, "Commander, you can rest for a while." ”
