Chapter VI: The Establishment of the Army

With his mother's instructions, Fu Bo's efficiency was also very fast, and it only took three days to find all the manpower Huo Shan needed.

Looking at the wide square the size of five football fields in front of him, Huo Shan couldn't believe that there would be such a top-secret training place not far from his home villa.

After looking carefully, the rows of conjoined bungalows made of thick logs not far away, and I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: "This is simply a ready-made military camp." ”

"The young master has found all the people you want, and the roster is here!" the old man said with a smile.

Taking the manual handed over by Fuber, Huo Shan put it in the pocket of his jacket, now is not the time to read it!

Five hundred and fifty strong guys, standing together, were also a piece of black oppression! Although being watched by so many people made Huo Shan a little uncomfortable, he still walked around the crowd a few times!

After a general look, Huo Shan couldn't help but nod with satisfaction, the quality of these people is not bad, they are all young people around twenty years old, their bodies appear to be very strong, and there is no obvious dish on their faces.

"Fubo, I'm sorry to trouble you, these people are of very good quality!"

"As long as the young master is satisfied. The old man said with a smile. You must know that it took him a lot of effort to gather these people in such a short time, and because his wife was in a hurry, he also transferred fifty or sixty people from the Huo family's militia group.

"Lei Zi find a few people, go and carry a table for me!" Huo Shan said with a smile as he turned his head to the honest young man behind him who had just become his personal guard a few days ago.

"Fauber, if you have something to do, go get busy first!

"Okay, young master, I'll go first, if you have something, just call Lei Zi to answer the old slave. "The old man is not welcome, Master Huo wants to set up four or five large factories in one go, and he is responsible for all the miscellaneous matters such as equipment procurement, worker recruitment, plant construction, etc., and he is so busy these days that his feet do not touch the ground!

Retracting his gaze from the back of Fu Bo hurrying away, Huo Shan climbed onto the round table brought by Lei Zi, and looked at the crowd standing in a group under his feet. What he felt was not panic, but an unspeakable passion.

Because he was born in a wealthy family, he was far taller and stronger than ordinary children of the same age, and after climbing up to a table nearly one meter high, everyone could clearly see him.

"First of all, let me introduce myself, my name is Huo Shan, the young head of the Huo family. In the next three months, you will train with me, and if you practice well, I can increase your salary of two taels of silver a month, and if you don't train well, I won't deduct your money, but I will let him understand how the word 'pain' is written!"

Looking at the disapproving look on their faces, Huo Shan couldn't help but smile faintly, understanding that because of his young age, his words had no deterrent effect at all, if it weren't for his identity as the young master of the Huo family, plus the monthly salary of paying them two taels of silver, I am afraid that these guys would have run out long ago.

Stopping Lei Zi, who wanted to get angry, Huo Shan's originally slightly narrowed eyes suddenly widened, and he shouted: "Now I order, everyone runs five laps around this square, and if you can't finish running, you are not allowed to eat, let's go!"

After saying that, he jumped off the table and ran out first.

"Run after me, don't force me to withhold your wages!" As soon as his words fell, the crowd of disapproving people who were still buzzing just now ran out with him. You don't care about other things, but if you don't have money, how can you live, so after hearing Huo Shan say this, they all obediently ran behind him!

Listening to the chaotic footsteps behind him, Huo Shan secretly scolded in his heart: "TMD, is Lao Tzu so unattractive? Alas, it will be difficult to endure the rì in the future." In order to master this vital armed force, he has decided to train hard every day like them.

Five-kilometer cross-country, push-ups, queue exercises, standing military postures, etc., anyway, Huo Shan moved all the training items of the later republic.

With the passage of time, the people who were still a little novel at the beginning, after a day, almost all of them, under the command of Huo Shan to rest in place, fell to the ground exaggeratedly.

After a day of training, his back pain is no longer enough to describe his current feeling, sweat can't stop flowing down, and the clothes all over his body are wet and dry, dry and wet, and a faint layer of white alkali has formed on the surface. Although because of his age, he has less than half of the training amount compared to these guys, but in this era of strict hierarchy, it is already very surprising that he can do this level as a big young master! Now Huo Shan can clearly feel that his status among them has been significantly improved.

Silently estimating the time, about ten minutes later, Huo Shanteng stood up and shouted, "All stand up!"

"Whoa......!"

No one hesitated, and the moment they received the order, everyone stood up as fast as they could.

Nodding with satisfaction, Huo Shan secretly said in his heart: "It's finally a little bit of a look!"

"Now listen to my orders!, those who have read and can write, stand on the left side of the line!" As his words fell, about a hundred people ran out of the line in a few minutes.

After two minutes, after seeing that no one came out again, Huo Shan nodded, "That's all for today's training, gather here on time at six o'clock tomorrow, and those who are late will run three laps around the cāo field." Now everyone is disbanded except for the left team. ”

"Leizi, have you prepared everything ready?"

"Young Master, everything is done according to your orders!" After finishing speaking, he approached Huo Shan's side again and asked in a low voice: "Young Master, you are tired today, why don't you give them a lecture tomorrow!"

After listening to his words, Huo Shan shook his head firmly while his heart was moved. For an army that can win battles, hard training alone is not enough, because they do not have a soul yet. Now, Huo Shan just wants to make up for this shortcoming, so that this army, which only takes his ideology as the soul of the army, can truly become an iron army, and become a great wall of steel that will change the face of China and protect all the Chinese people from foreign aggression!

Standing on the podium that resembled the big classroom of the later generations, Huo Shanshen said solemnly to the ninety-eight people left: "One table for every two people, five pencils per person, eleven textbooks, ten notebooks, now sit down and check the items on your desk, report the few immediately, and make up for you immediately!"

These are 11 textbooks, except for a "Theory of China" and an introduction to military regulations and military discipline, the other nine books are adapted from the German army textbooks during World War I, and it can be said that in the world now, these nine books are the most advanced army military textbooks.

"Okay, let's start the lecture now, first open the "China Theory" on your desk, and turn to the first page......" Novel remarks are always attractive, and no one in the classroom with hundreds of people speaks, and everyone gathers to listen to Huo Shan's lecture attentively. When people's attention is highly focused, time always flies very quickly. Before I knew it, a few hours had passed, and it was completely dark outside. It wasn't until about ten o'clock in the evening that Huo Shan let them go back to rest, and after a tiring day, everyone climbed onto the hard bed assigned to them, and fell asleep.

After packing up his lectern, Huo Shan turned his head and said to the honest young man who had been standing beside him just now: "Leizi, I won't go home to live today, you can find me a cleaner house, and I will live here tonight!"

"Got it, young master!"

"By the way, boil me some hot water, I'm going to take a bath......!" After a day of training, the smell of sweat on his body was too bad!

"It's so comfortable!" Huo Shan, who was soaked in the water, couldn't help moaning, the hot water wrapped the muscles of his whole body, relieving the fatigue of his body! When an irresistible sleepiness hit his heart, he quickly leaned on the inner wall of the bathtub and fell asleep.

Outside the door, Lei Zi faithfully guarded his little master, who had practiced since he was a child, and did not feel too tired after a day of training.

"Who?" heard footsteps coming from the darkness, and Horay Jǐng Ti shouted in a low voice.

"I, Lei Zi, is the young master inside?"

"Huo Lei has seen Madame, and the young master is taking a bath in it now!" Looking at the woman in front of him, the honest young man said respectfully.

Hearing his words, the woman nodded, pushed open the closed door, and saw at a glance, Huo Shan, who was lying in a wooden basin, already asleep. The bath water that had cooled down, without steaming moisture, made the bruises and purple scars on his body clearly present in front of everyone.

"Young master, woo woo woo ......" Ping'er's little girl, who came with the woman, looked at the miserable situation of her young master, and immediately covered her mouth with her little hand and cried.

Touching the scars on her son's body, the woman's eyes also turned red, her son is the flesh of her mother's heart, and she loves her only son even more when her husband dies early.

"Madam, the injuries on the young master's body are all ......!"

Seeing that the woman nodded silently, Fu Bo sighed and said slowly: "Madam, otherwise, take the young master on your back, don't let him suffer like this!"

"I'm afraid not!" the woman shook her head, looking at her son's sleeping face, and rejected the old man's proposal.

With her own understanding of her son's stubborn xìng ge, being able to endure such great pain and insist on training is probably not something she can give up with a word.

"Ping'er, bring me the medicinal wine I gave you!"

After the woman finished wiping the medicinal wine and covering her son with the quilt, the little girl said nervously, "Madam, I'm ...... I want to stay and take care of the young master!"

Touching her little head, the woman smiled and said, "Okay, you can sleep here tonight, but tomorrow morning, you will come back!"

Hearing her words, the little girl couldn't help but blush, nodded violently, the woman smiled gently, and after leaving a few more family members, she turned around and left with the others.

"Madam, it seems that the young master has a lot of ambitions, although today's training method is strange, it is obvious that he is training the army!" Fu Boshen said with some complexity.

"Looks like you can see that!" went on to say, "Do you think he has heard anything?"

"Impossible! We only know a few people, and it will never reach the ears of the young master. The old man said solemnly.

Hearing this, the woman nodded slowly, thought for a while, then shook her head and smiled bitterly: "No matter, since Shan'er worshipped Mr. Huang as a teacher and read and wrote, he has become more and more sensible, and this understanding is also strange, I don't know how to discipline him!"

Thinking of his young master's extraordinary performance during this time, the old man also nodded in understanding and stopped talking.
