Chapter 46 School Lecture
The soldier trembled, "I...... When I'm gone, there's no one to guard the gate here. If anyone breaks into the barracks, I will be court-martialed......"
When Wang Bo heard this, he thought: "This little soldier still remembers that he will be dealt with by military law when he leaves the gate, which shows that these people can still be saved, but it is not useless." ”
He said, "My name is Wang Bo, what's your name?" ”
The soldier was stunned for a moment and said, "My name is Xu Shoushan." ”
Wang Bo said: "Xu Shoushan, you keep in mind your responsibilities, which is worthy of appreciation. However, you see that there are so many of us, if we really want to break in, do you think you alone can stop it? The fact that we have not moved in the slightest for so long has proven that we are not enemies. Besides, I think you should be thinking about who we really are by now! Okay, I'll help you watch the door, and you go in and report, how about it? ”
Xu Shoushan thought about it, maybe Wang Bo's kind face reassured him a lot, so he said: "Okay, please wait a while, I'll go in and report it, and I......'ll be back soon," he turned around and ran into the barracks quickly.
Wang Bo walked to Xu Shoushan's position and stood quietly with his head held high.
Wei Yuanqiang and the other hundred Qing soldiers were all dumbfounded, and asked in disbelief: "My lord, ...... you Are you really guarding the gates? ”
Wang Bo's eyes widened, and he said, "What's wrong with the gate?" Isn't that possible? Speaking of which, I am a soldier of the common people just like you, but my position is different from yours. Less nonsense! Also, look at you, how do you line up? I haven't seen you for a month, so you're lazy? Haven't you continued training for the past month? Don't give me all the stands! ”
The hundredth person was suddenly scolded, Wei Yuanqiang was even more eager to slap his mouth, and asked what in a dignified manner, adults naturally have the intentions of adults, what kind of mouths do they have, isn't this self-scolding?
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, no one dared to say anything, hurriedly lined up, and all of them stood with their heads held high outside the gate of the barracks.
Wang Bo glared at these people, and scolded himself in his mouth: "Sure enough, if you don't open the house for three days, you will not clean it up!" You wait, now you are all my own soldiers, I can train as much as I want, let you be lazy, see that I will not torture you to death in the future! ”
Everyone was silent, and they didn't dare to breathe, although they were scolded, these people looked more and more happy on their faces, and they didn't know if they were worried about what rewards they would have for training in the future, or if they thought of something happy?
Not long after, I heard a chaotic sound of footsteps, and seven or eight people rushed out of the barracks, all of whom were hurrying towards the gate while putting on their clothes.
The group of people couldn't help but be stunned when they saw Wang Bo guarding next to the gate, and looked at each other, and one of them stepped forward, saluted respectfully, and said, "This ...... Nobleman, what do you call it? ”
Wang Bo ignored him and said loudly: "Xu Shoushan! I've taken care of the gate for you, and now I'll leave it back to you!" ”
Xu Shoushan, who was standing behind, looked at everyone on the field sluggishly, and when he saw that everyone was looking at him, his forehead suddenly sweated like pulp, so he had to walk over and stand in the position that Wang Bo had given up.
Wang Bo raised his hand to salute him, he didn't know what this gesture meant, but he still subconsciously followed suit.
Only then did Wang Bo turn his head to look at the eight people who were a little dazed, glanced around, then took out the seal letter, and said: "My name is Wang Bo, and I was transferred here on the order of Lord Zhongtang, this is my identity certificate, which of you will come and see?" ”
The person who came out just now hurriedly stepped forward and bowed down to take it, looked at it for a while, "plopped" and knelt on the ground, and said, "The last general, Chen Shangde, has seen the military gate!" ”
The rest of the people also immediately fell to the ground: "I've seen Lord Junmen!" ”
Wang Bo said coldly: "Since my identity has been determined, that's good!" Give you half an hour, and immediately call all the soldiers to assemble at the school! Let me make a statement first, Lord Zhongtang has given me the power of life and death for all of you, you remember to inform everyone, if anyone dares to be late, don't blame me for being ruthless! Go ahead! ”
Everyone listened to the cold vests, and in a moment they understood that although the person in front of them was young, his methods were also ruthless, and his words all revealed the momentum of Sen Ran, this is a Shangguan who is not easy to fool!
The crowd answered, and withdrew.
Wang Bo changed into an instructor costume modeled after a military instructor in the 21st century, but unfortunately there was no toad mirror, otherwise it would be more majestic and stylish. He went straight to the school grounds, where there was a review stand in front of it, and he walked up and stood in the center.
Wei Yuanqiang didn't know where to find a chair, and Wang Bo stared at him with his eyes, which made his second monk confused, and his heart was confused and afraid.
After a while, I heard the sound of drums, and in an instant, the barracks gradually became lively, and then, I saw many people running towards the school yard scolding.
These people saw a small solemn phalanx standing under the review stand, and those people were dressed strangely, with strange hats on their heads, brown-green clothes on their bodies, and cow belts on their shoulders and waists. There was also a strangely dressed man standing on the stage with his hands behind his back.
Everyone looked at me in amazement, you look at me, I look at you, all of them closed their mouths for a while, and no one dared to speak more.
As time passed, the people on the field gathered more and more, and they were divided into thirteen square arrays to assemble. As far as the eye can see, these people are neatly dressed, the queue is also clear, everyone present looked curiously at Wang Bo and the hundred soldiers not far from the audience, perhaps they had been warned in advance, no one talked and discussed, and the whole scene was silent.
Suddenly, I heard a voice from the southeast: "What are you pushing me to do?" What a military adult, a little white face that hasn't grown yet! This person is handed over to a little white face for training, what is his ability? Lord Nakado must have been deceived! ”
"Liu Sheng'an's house is a useless pustule, he can't even beat a little white face, it's really a shame on our Liu family, our inscription camp! What else is the power of life and death? Fart! When I Liu Xiao was born and died for Lord Zhongtang, he was still wearing open crotch pants and playing with mud, I really don't believe he dared to kill me! Let go of my ......"
Wang Bo looked up, but saw that Chen Shangde and several people pushed and pulled the five scolding people into the field, and the one named Liu Xiao scolded the loudest.
The five men were flushed, like monkey butts, and at a glance they knew that they had drunk a lot, and they must have drunk until dawn last night, and now they are going crazy with alcohol.
Wang Bo only glanced at it, then withdrew his gaze. This kind of person is ranked by seniority, relying on the old and selling the old, plus he is a martial artist, and his head is a tendon, so it is not worth being angry with this kind of person.
These five people seemed to be a little sober, and they didn't dare to be too presumptuous in front of the army, so they didn't shout and scold again, but just stared at Wang Bo with their eyes round,
Half an hour passed quickly, and there was silence around the school grounds, except for the sound of flags hunting.
Wang Bo glanced at the soldiers below, and said loudly after a long time: "My name is Wang Bo, and I am the temporary commander who was called by Lord Zhongtang to train you. To tell you the truth, Lord Nakado asked me to train you at that time, and I was unwilling, but I had to agree to him because of my other identity. ”
"I was originally an American who had just come from overseas. Jianhe. The merchants who have returned to China in search of their roots intend not to go back, and from then on they will stay in China, which is connected to my blood. Because I need the help of Lord Nakado to buy a family business, and I know how to train soldiers, I made a deal with Lord Nakado to help him train 6,500 new troops with foreign guns and artillery. ”
"Lord Zhongtang asks me that from now until today two years later, during this period, all your food, clothing, housing, transportation, all guns and ammunition for training, and even salary and silver will be personally funded by me, so I tell you very bluntly that your life and death are all in my hands now."
Speaking of this, the audience was in an uproar, and all the soldiers were shocked and discussed, and the scene was chaotic and chaotic, even more chaotic than the downtown area.
Wang Bo didn't say anything, let them discuss, and after ten minutes, he waved his hand, and Wei Yuanqiang and a hundred others shouted in unison: "Silence! Quiet! If there is any more noisy, military law will deal with it! ”
After saying this three times, the court gradually quieted down.
Wang Bo said: "Now, I will give you two choices. First, if you don't want to stay here, you can leave immediately, and I won't stop you. Second, after ten minutes, those who remain here will obey me unconditionally for the next two years, and if they disobey, they will be dealt with by military law depending on the severity of the situation. ”
The soldiers in the audience were in an uproar again, and this time the discussion was more enthusiastic and noisy.
On the other hand, Liu Xiao, Chen Shangde, and more than a dozen other generals standing in front of the soldiers did not say anything, but just glanced at each other, then turned their heads, their eyes flashed, as if they understood the intention of Li Hongzhang's arrangement.
In recent years, the Huai army has been short of food and salary, and all armies and battalions have been repeatedly abolished, and recently Lord Zhongtang has established the Beiyang Naval Division, and the foreigners' guns and cannons cost the most money, and the training is like a bottomless pit, and it cannot be filled with any matter how it is filled. Presumably, this time it was not easy to find a gold owner, and Lord Zhongtang's determination will not waver, who dares to resist at this time.
When all the soldiers saw that the commander had no instructions for action, the governor had come to this point, and everyone could only accept it helplessly.
Ten minutes later, Wang Bo waved his hand again, and a hundred pro-soldiers shouted again: "Silence! Quiet! If there is any more noisy, military law will deal with it! ”
After a while, the audience fell silent.
Wang Bo coldly glanced at the soldiers under the field, and said, "Very good, none of you have chosen to leave, so from now on, you must all obey me unconditionally." In the past two years, I don't care how long you have been with Lord Zhongtang before, how many enemies you have killed, or how high your official position is, in my eyes, all of them are zero, completely empty and empty. ”
"Lord Zhongtang gave me the power of life and death, and if someone dares to make trouble during this period, then don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people, and my subordinates are ruthless! All of them! Count the numbers now! (To be continued.) )
