Chapter 33: The Day of Rotation
The bitterness of being a soldier haha, if you can eat a piece of meat full of fat, it is no different from the New Year, no, even the New Year may not be able to eat it sometimes.
Now there is a lot of oil and water in the stomach, and it is okay to eat one or two small pieces of fat, but if you put on a large piece, many soldiers will have to gag......
In the past year, not only pigs, but also sheep, roe deer, wild boars, and all kinds of fatty fish caught by fishermen from Taihu Lake have been sent to the guard.
This treatment is comparable to that of a large family!
What can I rely on to live like this?
It relied on the Yongwang Mansion to transport silver at any cost!
In addition to food, there is also clothing and shelter!
Every soldier has finely crafted chain mail, you must know that this kind of armor used to be only qualified to be worn by officials, and the level is not low, but in Yongwangwei this is standard armor!
As for the place of residence, when I was in the forbidden army, the military house was dirty and no different from a pig's nest, and when I entered the military house, I could smell the stench, and there were more rats, cockroaches, and fleas than countless.
But now the military quarters of the guard house are in a row, and each row has an independent washing room and toilet, which is an internal affair, if anyone dares not to wash every day, he has to memorize the regulations to vomit, and if he dares to shout in the corner of the house, be careful that the internal affairs officer will cut it below!
In the house, everyone's towels, washbasins, and toothbrushes and toothpaste, which are said to be specially made in the Yongwang Mansion, must be neatly placed in the designated position, and no mistakes or omissions are allowed!
These can be endured, after all, it is natural to get used to it, but the most unbearable thing for the three thousand soldiers is to fold quilts and rotate the day!
The quilt to be folded is boxy like a tofu block, who wants to fold it badly, the whip of the internal affairs officer does not know whether you are a soldier or an official.
The rough skin and thick flesh of the soldier are not afraid of the military stick or the whip, and the most afraid is the small black house......
What is Little Black House? There is a row of small stone houses in the corner of the guard, a little big, there is only one stool inside, the door is dark, even in the daytime, you can't see a trace of light, the shouting outside is shocking, but this place is far away, don't want to hear any wind and grass......
Anyone who is numb by the whip, and who refuses to change his ways, will be imprisoned for one or two days, and that day is simply not human, and those with poor will can be suffocated......
Don't think it's an exaggeration to go crazy, in fact, there have been two soldiers who have been locked up and gone crazy by the small black house, both of them are unlucky people who repeatedly violated the regulations and were finally locked up for three days, and no one knows where these two unlucky people are now.
If there is anything that makes the Great Soldier Gate the most painful, it must be the Rotation Day.
The rotation day does not require training like the rest of the day, the rest of the day is free to go out of the camp to relax, as long as it does not disturb the people, then there are no taboos, but the rotation day is to take turns to learn!
One day a month, once every seven days!
On the day of rotation, those who are soldiers need to go to the school to listen to the teachings of the master, and the teachings are also nonsense, to put it simply, to recognize and write!
The bitterness of being a soldier haha as long as you practice not to die will practice to the death, no matter how hard and tired you are, as long as you eat well, fall asleep, and the next day you will have endless energy, you can let the soldier take a knife and gun, and the calloused hand to get a pen?
That's worse than death!
Zhou Ning still remembered that when he first started the first few rounds of practice, the entire guard was filled with miserable howls, and the tone was simply unbearable to read.
But now it's been a year, and I'm used to being a soldier, or I've accepted my fate on the day of rotation, so it's just a big deal to have a nightmare that night.
Fortunately, this is all the arrangement of King Yong, and the soldiers dare not have any complaints, you must know that the King of Yong gave them the best conditions, and the full amount is more than 50% of the military salary before.
If it really makes trouble, whether Zhou Ning or Hong Ji is good, he will not be soft, and he will be killed directly!
Hong Ji reported on the main work of the past year for a while, Zhu Houwei listened to it with relish, and waited until Hong Ji said it clearly, then got up and said with a smile: "What you say is not as good as seeing is believing, Hong Companion, this king will test today whether your hard work in the past year is worth it, but don't let this king down."
Hong Ji bowed down and flattered: "Being able to be tested by the king is the greatest blessing of their generation."
Out of the big tent, Zhu Houwei said solemnly: "It has been a year since the guard, and this king is reviewing it for the first time today, and I am looking forward to it."
The words were an understatement, but the expressions of Zhou Ning and Hong Ji couldn't help but become a little solemn, and there was even a trace of uneasiness.
"Let's go to the camp."
"The King, please." Hong Ji was leading the way, and it didn't take long to reach the camp.
As far as the eye can see, there are rows of standard military houses, each military house can accommodate a team, each team of ten people, each row of ten, such a barracks full ten rows!
"This is it." It is impossible for Zhu Houwei to see one by one, but a spot check can give a glimpse of the whole leopard, one is not good, you have to say the rest, that's.
The camp that was ordered was opened, and Zhu Houwei stepped in, only to see two rows of bunk beds coming into view, the quilts on each bed were folded into tofu blocks, and the sheets were neat and neat without the slightest wrinkles, which looked refreshing and pleasing to the eye, and extremely refreshing.
There is a small wooden stool under the head of each bed, which is used for rest, according to the internal regulations, as long as the soldier is not allowed to go to bed until it is time to go to bed, even if he sits on the edge of the bed, anyone who violates it is a violation of the regulations, and some of them suffer hardship.
Inside the door was a long boxy, neatly organized table, with a washbasin and a washbasin with a toothbrush stuck in it.
At this time, Zhu Houwei had not yet let the development of leather packaging toothpaste, and the rubber from Hainan was basically made into leather wheel belts after boiling, which were used in machinery, and there was no ability to industrialize mass production, and Zhu Houwei could only use good steel on the blade.
"Not bad." Zhu Houwei wiped the table with his fingers, but did not wipe out the dust, and then nodded with satisfaction.
"The king has drawn up a charter, and if the slaves and maids can't do it well, they won't have the face to see the king in the future."
Zhou Ning, who looked at Hong Ji with a servile face, was dumbfounded, you must know that Hong Ji is the supervisor sent by the prince to the guard, in fact, it doesn't matter whether the supervisor is the army or not, the important thing is that everyone knows that Hong Ji is the prince's cronies!
This guy is a nightmare for almost all soldiers in the guard, with the title of the living king of Hades, as long as he is not satisfied, it doesn't matter if you are a thousand households or a small soldier, even he, the commander, is indispensable to take the lead!
