Chapter Twenty-Five: Recruits

"Stand upright!"

The four thousand people below don't know what to do, and they don't know what Lizheng is, only more than 400 people wearing black armor and wearing long knives on the side of the original Xishan Army are neatly standing upright, and those recruits who have just entered the barracks are all frightened by the momentum, looking at the majestic and handsome armor, there is a mask in the helmet that only shows a pair of eyes, and the mask depicts a terrifying face, which is what Li Yong asked the craftsman to paint, based on the appearance of the hell demon, when the mask is pulled, others look like this, It's like a devil from hell who chooses people to eat.

"You have all seen it, this is our Xishan Army, although we are not the army of the imperial court, but it is not my Li Yong's private army, you are all from the locust plague of displaced people, know the suffering of the people, so we are the people's troops, you will receive a three-month recruit training, and then you will be assigned to various companies according to your characteristics, some of you may go to the regular army, some will be cooks, and may also be military doctors, anyway, you enter this Xishan battalion, that is the Xishan Army, You will be the mightiest army of the Empire, and the enemy will tremble when they hear your name, and when they see you, they will die. ”

"Fight to the death and never retreat, defend your home and defend your country."

More than four hundred black-armored soldiers shouted in unison, infecting the four thousand recruits in the playground, and slowly, they also shouted loudly together, Li Yong and Xue Rengui beside him said.

"It seems that the momentum is good, it's up to you next."

"Commander, don't worry, I promise to complete the mission."

Xue Rengui led the three company commanders to stand in front, took out the roster and began to name one by one, ten people for a squad, and after all the shifts were completed, it was already noon, Xue Rengui asked the squad leaders to bring their recruits back to the barracks, and then began the first meal of the recruits into the camp, the sumptuous meal made all the recruits swallow saliva, after the officer gave the order to open the meal, everyone began to swallow this delicious meal, these meals were the first time they had eaten so big.

"Don't be in a hurry, this meal is enough, not enough to come and get it, but put an end to waste, eat as much as you want."

Li Yong took Xue Rengui and other officers to look at the huge canteen full of people, and they also found a place to sit down, those recruits didn't recognize them, and chatted with them about family life, saying that the food here was really good or something.

"Commander, battalion commander."

A few recruits who sat with Li Yong and a few officers knew that it was the bosses of the Xishan Army who were sitting with them, and they were so frightened that their legs trembled, but Li Yong and the others just saluted the low-level officer and continued to bury their heads in eating.

"Go on, don't be restrained, our Xishan Army is different from other armies, what we advocate is that all officers are equal, if you have any ideas in the future, you can tell your squad leader, just treat this place as your home."

A few recruits looked at a few bigwigs and didn't blame them, but they didn't start to say anything casually like that, Li Yong and they didn't bother to care, anyway, they still have a lot of things to do, just leave the ideological problems to those veterans, Li Yong and they quickly finished lunch and went back to rest and prepare for the afternoon's arrangements. Today is the first day of recruits' enlistment, mainly to arrange accommodation in shifts to familiarize themselves with the environment, each veteran squad leader to the recruits to allocate beds, receive training uniforms and daily necessities and other things, all the work is busy for a day, and in the evening also carry forward the veteran tradition, that is, to wash the feet of each recruit, so that those who are displaced, the family is broken and the recruits are moved to cry and cry.

"Woooooooooo......oo Squad leader, except for my mother, no one has treated me so well, I must train hard and not embarrass the squad leader. ”

"Silly boy, what are you crying about, when you come to our Xishan Army as a soldier, you have to be worthy of raising our Xishan fellows, they are all exiled here, it is the commander who takes us in, let us live in a place, and give me food, and the workshop also invites our relatives to work, I heard that my sister entered the women's workshop, and she has a salary of 50 yuan per month."

"Really."

"That can still lie to you, so you recruits, you have to study and train hard, you know?"

"Thank you, squad leader."

In the early morning, in the rapid sound of drums and the loud urging of the squad leader, all the recruits were wearing training uniforms in a panic, taking the wrong clothes, wearing the wrong clothes, and the shoes were either worn backwards or by others, Xue Rengui looked at the rabble in front of him with a dark face, the veterans were all speechless, Li Yong sat on the rocking chair and swayed, indifferent to all this.

"Very good, very good, today is your first day of recruit training, what I said next, you are engraved in your minds, just now that is an emergency assembly signal, hear this drum, even if you are, run over to me, you, what to move, you are not allowed to move in the queue, who is his squad leader, a hundred push-ups."

"Yes."

A veteran stood up and began to do push-ups with his hands on the ground, and the Great Demon King Xue didn't look at the punished veteran, and continued to speak to the recruits.

"As long as you do something wrong, I won't punish you, I only punish your squad leader......"

"It's so unfair!"

"Who's talking? He's from that class. ”

"Report, three shifts."

"Three squad leaders, three kilometers."

"Yes."

The third squad leader Xiang Xue Rengui saluted and then went to the playground to punish and run, those recruits who were moved by their squad leader last night saw that their squad leader was punished because of themselves, and their hearts hurt like a fist blow, Xue Rengui saw that the fire was almost over, so he saluted Li Yong who was lying in the rocking chair behind him, Li Yong knew that he should play, so he stood up and said.

"I know many of you are not convinced, but you remember that this is a military camp, you are soldiers, what are the guidelines for soldiers?"

"Obey orders!"

Those veterans shouted out the answers that all the recruits didn't know.

"Very good, the veterans know it, and you will know it in the future, the air in the mountains is good, such a good morning is the best time for running, give you a quarter of an hour to tidy up your clothes, and then we will have a romantic ten-kilometer cross-country."

The recruits didn't know what romance was or what the kilometer was, but they soon learned that the twelve-year-old harmless child was a demon.

"Hurry up, run like a, you, aren't you a? Isn't it? ”

"Ah~~ I'm not."

"The one behind is five kilometers away."

"Ban...... Squad leader, I can't do it anymore. ”

"Don't rub it off, persevere, don't give up, remember the essentials, take two steps and one breath, and swing your arms up."

"Hurry up, soldier."

The mighty team of recruits was like a long dragon, winding in the valley, the whole valley spread with the scolding of the officers, and each squad leader in the team worked hard back and forth to help each recruit who fell behind, and the recruits who ran to the finish line were paralyzed on the ground as if they were drained, but in exchange for the officers' big feet.

"Get up, don't die, you can't lie down after running, get up and move slowly and then rest, get up quickly, say you."

The recruits who had a little strength were ruthlessly driven up by the officers, and when all the recruits ran to the finish line, the sun had just risen, and Li Yong looked at the recruits who were sitting on the ground resting.

"You see, in the village on the other side of the valley, where there are your relatives, your mission is to train your skills to protect them."

A recruit stood in front of him to look at the place Li Yong was looking at, and then one after another recruits stood up, although their bodies were very tired, but their hearts were more determined Li Yong said, what they fled was that they were hungry, gnawed wild vegetables and gnawed tree bark, watched their relatives fall on the road, and watched those who ate Guanyin soil rise to death, what is it for them to suffer this little crime now, no one wants to return to that kind of purgatory-like life in the world, only change can continue to have the current life.

"It's almost time to rest, bring the team back."

"Yes, all assembled, turn back, and walk in unison."

Once again, a procession of several thousand marched mightily towards the camp.

"Don't cry with a sad face, the veterans taught you Qin Feng last night, right? Come to the throat together, how can you say that you have no clothes? Ready, sang. ”

How can you say that you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear. Enmity with the Son!

How can you say that you have no clothes? With the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear halberd. Work with the son!

How can you say that you have no clothes? with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my armor soldiers. Walk with the son! ”

Thousands of people sang neatly throughout the valley, this song Qin Feng Wuyi is the best expression of the blood of the Qinchuan men, towering old Qin eight hundred miles Qin Chuan, a song without clothes will bring thousands of recruits together.

"After breakfast, the squad leaders of each squad will lead your recruits to sort out their internal affairs, and then they will be disbanded according to the training subjects."

"I'm tired, I've never run so many roads in my life."

"I feel like the whole person is my own."

"What are you muttering? Hurry up and arrange a lot, wait for me to teach you how to tidy up the housekeeping, and tell you first, if the housekeeping is not done well, you won't sleep under the quilt tonight, I'll tell you. ”

"Huh? No way? ”

"It's not Mom or Dad, I'm not kidding you, it was the same when I came in."

The recruits watched as the veterans folded the quilt into a tofu block, and watched in disbelief.

"Squad leader, how did you do this?"

"yes, that's amazing."

"I'll teach you to fold now, you all remember it for me, wait for the inspector to come back and check the housekeeping of each class, if it's not qualified, let's feed the mosquitoes outside tonight."

Hearing that the squad leader is not joking, all of them are wide open to watch the squad leader every step and explanation, and then practice with their own quilts, under the guidance of the squad leader, many recruits have basically learned to complete it very well, and there are many who can't learn it, and almost didn't make those squad leaders kneel on the ground to worship him, and the squad that learned to fold tofu blocks has begun to wipe the bed cabinet, sweep the floor and place cups or something, the whole barracks is busy, and at the specified time for the end of housekeeping, each barracks has entered two veterans wearing the word inspectorFrom time to time, the quilts in the barracks were thrown out, and the squads where the quilts were thrown out were destined to sleep outside the barracks tonight to feed the mosquitoes, and the squads that passed were all relaxed, and after the end of internal affairs, they began the queue drill of the recruits, and the whole playground was filled with all kinds of slogans and abuse from the squad leaders.

"Right right, do you not understand or do you have a problem with your braincase, how many times have you said it."

"Don't move, good, don't move, who did you move?"

The recruits of the West Hill Army began their life as recruits.
