Due to the reason for the expansion of the army, Ding Li, as the commander of the Southern Navy, naturally could not stay in the barracks of the Southern Navy, just the two new camp locations used to expand the army, Ding Li needed to make a decision personally, at most he could not enter the Guangzhou Mansion, but Zhang Kuang sent someone to inform Ding Li that Liu Sheng's physical condition was very good at present, so that Ding Li could train the Southern Navy with peace of mind and actively prepare for the expansion of the army.

For the Southern Navy, which had a reserve militia force, it was too easy to expand the army by 800 people, and on the day that the Jiedu Mansion approved the expansion request, Ding Li summoned Xu Hong, Qin Mo and Wang Ling together for a fairly detailed discussion.

However, the situation on the second day was still beyond the expectations of Ding Li and others, and there were 3,000 people who came to join the army, but this is also a good thing, at least Ding Li They don't have to worry too much about the selection of recruits, and the selection conditions are naturally temporarily increased, after all, a more strict selection is conducive to the training of recruits after the expansion of the army, so as not to hastily expand the army and lead to uneven recruits, and there will be some unnecessary troubles in the subsequent training.

Due to the rapid recruitment, Ding Li had to advance the plan to expand the two camps, and on the afternoon of the recruitment, Ding Li left the barracks with Heizi and Qin Mo and a small team of personal guards. In the small military meeting the day before, Ding Li discussed with several people about the location of the new camp, and after the field investigation, Ding Li decisively selected the two original locations, which were also near Giethoorn Town, and formed a triangle with the existing military camps, and wrapped the entire Giethoorn Town in the middle of the three camps.

That is to say, after the two new camps are built, the entire town of Giethoorn will be under the protection of the iron triangle of the three large battalions of the Southern Navy. Moreover, Ding Li also sent someone to inform the people of Giethoorn Town that several small wolf smoke stations had been erected in the town, and if Giethoorn Town was harassed and attacked by the rogue thief army, the Southern Navy, which was only a few miles away from Giethoorn Town, would be warned by the wolf smoke and send troops to support it as soon as possible.

What's more, no matter which direction Sheepthoorn is attacked, at least two military camps of the Southern Navy will provide support to Sheepthoorn at the same time, which is enough for the people of Giethoorn to live with absolute peace of mind.

Since the location of the new battalion has been chosen, Ding Li's army expansion operation has also been completely launched, and the 800 people who have newly joined the Southern Navy just went back to their respective homes to rest and prepare for a day, and then bid farewell to their relatives and gathered in Giethoorn Town from all directions, but the life they face is not what they imagined, and every day is a drill in addition to drills.

Because there are two simple barracks in front of them, which are only enclosed by wooden fences, the construction of new barracks will be another task in their daily exercises. Of the 800 people, 400 people were divided into two new battalions, and the remaining 400 people were directly stationed in the existing Southern Navy camp, but they didn't wait for them to feel lucky, and they hadn't even carried out the personnel inventory after entering the camp, but just after putting their bags in their barracks according to the instructions of the veterans, they were driven out of the barracks like a group of laborers, looking at the pile of construction tools neatly placed on the ground in front of them, this group of recruits suddenly realized that their task was not to practice on the school field, Rather, it was to expand the barracks next to him, which seemed to be sturdy and strong enough.

Since they are going to join the army as soldiers, these recruits more or less know some or inquire about some things after the recruits enter the camp, but none of the four hundred people have heard that the first thing after entering the camp is to expand the barracks.

Of course, these 400 recruits can't help it, although they haven't gone through the formal procedures after entering the camp just now, the inscriptions and notices standing next to each camp clearly tell them the military regulations here, and one of them clearly reads:

complaining more, angry with its commanders, not listening to constraints, and teaching difficult to control, this is called building an army, and the offender will be beheaded.

Therefore, even if someone complains, they only dare to mumble a few words in their hearts to vent their dissatisfaction, and in the end they still have to step forward and pick up their own tools and 'actively' devote themselves to the queue for expanding the barracks.

Half of the morning had passed, and the remaining half was not too difficult for this group of recruits who were used to working hard at the docks, especially when the air mixed with the smell of meat penetrated into their noses, and the recruits were even more interested, knowing that they were working as coolies at the docks, but no one cared about meat, even if it was dry food such as bread and steamed buns, they had to bring their own.

And in front of him, as the smell of meat became more and more intense, a team of seemingly endless South China Navy sergeants slowly walked out of the camp gate carrying a steaming big iron pot, and the recruits who were close to the camp gate couldn't even hold back the excitement in their hearts, they all stopped their work and tiptoed to look into the iron pot that was still bubbling at the mouth, which was not only a meaty broth, but a pot of large meat pieces that were filled, and there were not even other dishes, only meat pieces that made people salivate just by looking at them!

What kind of food is this, these recruits who have just changed from coolies to join the army are dumbfounded, they have only heard that the food of the soldiers is particularly good, so good that it makes people envious, but when they really face it, they are no longer just envious, and even feel that they are living in heaven.

When a mouthful of meat-scented iron pots lined up and placed not far from the barracks, another news came out that made all the recruits boil.

Enough! Enough to eat and drink! Not only the bread in the basket behind the iron pot, but also the pieces of meat in the iron pot are also enough! But there is a premise for all this, the meal time is only a quarter of an hour, but this premise has long been completely ignored by the recruits and left behind, the food in front of them, how can it take a quarter of an hour, only half of the time can be full, a quarter of an hour has to kill people!

The new battalion located in the other two corners of Giethoorn Town, the mood of the recruits assigned to those two places was the same, when lunch was placed in front of them, everyone was boiling, and the whole morning was reprimanded by the veterans around them to work, and even looking at the faces of the veterans, there was a feeling of nausea that wanted to vomit.

But when it was time for lunch, the veterans next to them gave these recruits a large piece of roast meat in their bowls, and suddenly felt that the veterans who were still fierce and vicious next to them were more and more cute than the other, and the unpleasantness of building the camp wall in the morning was suddenly thrown out of the clouds, and it was completely unworthy of a bowl of hot roast meat in their hands.

It seems that there was premeditation and discussion in advance, after a short rest after lunch, when it was time to build a new camp again, the veterans who were originally just pointing fingers on the side also copied the guys in their hands to join the ranks of the recruits, and soon the fight became hot, and the integration process of the veterans and recruits seemed to be very harmonious, and extremely fast.

In the afternoon, the day's labor was finally announced, which was also the basic late camping time in the daily march, but what was waiting for the recruits was not the order to return to the camp to rest and have dinner, but a scarlet daze daze appeared at the camp gate, with several flag-guards covered in armor with a faint murderous aura slowly moving forward, the scarlet Daxu also slowly walked out of the barracks, when the evening breeze swept by, the flag shook slightly, and the golden sunset illuminated, The three sonorous and powerful characters with gold edges on the flag were clearly displayed in front of many recruits.

Southern Navy.

This is the military flag personally awarded to the Southern Navy by the Tang Dynasty, and the golden flag is full of strong Tang Dynasty atmosphere everywhere, which is a regular army officially awarded by the imperial court. And those recruits who are slightly looking up and staring at the gilded scarlet daze daqi fluttering in the wind, until now, they have a real feeling, from this moment on, they have become a part of the Southern Navy, become a member of the regular army of the Tang Dynasty, and the scarlet in front of them, as if dyed with blood, all make people feel bursts of blood boiling, everyone seems to feel the blood flow in the body at this moment has accelerated several times, and the whole person seems to be burning.

Ding Li, who was dressed in military uniform, urged the mount to step forward slowly, and stopped the war horse next to Daxu, followed by Qin Mo and Heizi on both sides with solemn faces, and Xu Hong was dressed in a plain robe, Xu Hong, who stopped the mount, jumped off the horse and straightened his waist and stepped under the big sword, looking at the recruits in front of him who were inadvertently lined up, a trace of pride flashed in his eyes, and then he cleared his throat, raised his foot and took a step, and shouted solemnly with a solemn face: "Datang military regulations!" One! Hearing the drum does not enter, smelling the gold does not stop, the flag cannot be raised, the flag is not subdued, this is called rebelling against the army, and the offender is beheaded. Two! The name should not be called, the time is not enough, the time is not reached, and the law of the division is changed, which is called a slow army, and the offender will be beheaded. Three! The night is spread to fight, neglect and not report, and even more slowly, the voice is unknown, this is called slackness, and the offender is beheaded. Four.. ”

A total of seventeen military regulations, a collection of fifty-four slashes, the language is concise but dignified, and when Xu Hong speaks, he deliberately accentuates the tone of each word 'chop', so that all the recruits listen to it for a while, and even the nerves of the recruits will be tense with every four words of Xu Hong, until the last sentence falls, and the nerves of all the recruits are tense to the extreme, like a strong bow that has been full, if you add a little more strength, it will be broken.

Fortunately, under this heavy pressure, all the recruits have survived, but many of them have beads of sweat oozing from their foreheads, and more people are muttering to themselves in their hearts, this military camp is decisively not a good place, and the full roast meat at noon is not so easy to digest.

"When a new recruit enters the camp, the first offender is admonished with thirty sticks, and the second offender is given a hundred sticks! And then do not change the recidivist, beheaded! ”

Without waiting for the recruits' tense nerves to relax, Xu Hong, who was under the big line, added aloud again, although the tone of the last word 'chop' was particularly aggravated, but this addition was undoubtedly more like a natural sound for the recruits, after all, there was no need to worry that the guy who ate on his shoulder would be lost unconsciously.
