The Soldier of the Red Mansion

Chapter 59 Troop Training
The southeast, northwest, northeast and southwest armies each have three divisions, each training four battalions, for a total of sixteen battalions.

The Hexi Camp is different from other camps.

Practice standing every day.

"Chief Sentry."

"Three meals a day."

"You're going to make us practice this every day?"

On the school field.

The three teams of soldiers were relatively close to each other, with thirty people in each team, divided into three rows, and each of them stood in the sun. The sun was lazy and the people who were basking in the sun felt comfortable, except that their feet felt a little numb, and some people stomped their feet quietly from time to time.

When they saw their own sentry, some people joked.

Qi Shannian looked over and saw that it was the old man with a smiling young man beside him.

"Old Shi, don't be lazy."

Qi Shan cursed.

The old man wasn't afraid of Qi Shannian's thoughts. He smiled and said, "I'm not being lazy. I'm afraid I won't be able to afford these three meals. What if the commander feels he's been cheated and doesn't give me the three meals?"

Some people around laughed out loud.

Qi Shannian glared at him fiercely.

The captain next to the man slapped his hands.

"Master Shao, who was brought up by Old Shi, you are nothing but a piece of shit, and you dare to laugh along with me."

The captain cursed under his breath.

So that's how it is. The newcomers in the team dared not slack off anymore and they all cheered up.

"You can't even stand at attention, and you want to practice other things? Practice standing at attention first. You've only practiced walking for a few days, and now you've forgotten how to stand at attention and have to practice again. If you really want to do something wrong, then practice well. It's better than just talking nonsense."

Qi Shannian started to curse.

The old man didn't dare to say anything more.

If he continued to make trouble, Xiao Qizi would turn against him.

Damn it, he was really well behaved when he was a kid.

He calls people frequently.

Early in the morning, everyone got up from their bunk beds in a mess. All the soldiers had to wash up. The entire barracks was new, including the bedding. They also had to brush their teeth with willow branches, and there were also rules for eating.

Apart from not doing serious work, there are all kinds of messy and weird things.

Wake up.

Each team came to the playground to practice standing at attention.

A quarter of an hour passed.

Everyone goes to the kitchen to eat.

Three meals a day.

Can't even think about it.

Our ancestors only had two meals a day, which is a violation of the rules.

After breakfast, half an hour later, they practiced standing at attention for another hour or so. Then all the officers above the rank of sergeant went to the school, and the sergeant stayed behind to maintain order.

It's really a knife-like butt - it opens the eyes again.

Houses were so scarce that all the vacant ones were rented out. As a result, the commander insisted on leaving one house as a school, and all the officers above the rank of sergeant had to go there to study.

But it’s none of my business.

The old man happily came to the kitchen early with his little tail behind him.

In other barracks, the squad leader would get a pass to get rice and cook in a pot. However, the Hexi small camp had a separate squad with a dedicated cooking department, and the whole camp ate together.

There's still half an hour until lunch.

As long as he has nothing to do, the old man will come early and wait for dinner.

Then there must be that young man beside him.

It feels like going back twenty years.

I was not old at that time, but I was surrounded by a bunch of little kids who would clamor for food whenever they saw me. It gave me a terrible headache.

In the end, only Xiao Qizi grew up.

Who knows what will happen tomorrow, but the most important thing is to fill your stomach.

The old man squatted on the ground, his neck stretched out as he looked at the kitchen.

Really like an old turtle.

The young men around him also learned to do the same.

Like a little turtle.

"No one is allowed to enter the house."

"It is forbidden to take even a strand of hemp from the people."

"It is forbidden to take even a cent of the people's property."

"Don't cheat the people in the slightest."

In a room in the barracks, squad leaders were reciting military regulations. "Every squad leader has to pass this order."

"If the squad leader fails, the captain will be held accountable. If the captain fails, the sentry officer will be held accountable. This is the order of the commander-in-chief. The commander-in-chief said that he will personally conduct random inspections. If anyone makes a mistake, it will not be your fault, but mine."

Li Wu had a sullen face and forced a group of illiterate men to recite the text.

From regulations to prohibitions, there is a lot to memorize.

Everyone had a worried look on their face. After reciting hundreds of words for a quarter of an hour, some people still couldn't remember them and kept forgetting a few words and couldn't recite them.

Finally, the last person passed.

The squad leaders were sweating profusely and hurried back to lead their teams.

"Our Dusi, when it comes to scheming against others, is like Monkey King, unable to escape from the Five Finger Mountain of Tathagata Buddha. He can strangle everyone to death."

A squad leader complained.

A ban.

If I really can’t memorize it, then I can’t memorize it. The key is that the brothers below don’t agree.

"We can only go back and lead the team to the mess hall for dinner after we have recited the injunction. If any of us are late, we will be complained to death by the brothers below. No one dares to slack off."

Someone smiled bitterly.

Someone else laughed and said, "Just be happy, you guys have only had a full meal for a few days."

Everyone was talking at once.

He kept complaining with his mouth, but his eyes were smiling.

As they approached the kitchen, they all looked up at the same time. As expected, Zhang Can and his group were lined up in an orderly manner, waiting with the other teams.

Qi Shannian, who was in the crowd, couldn't help but laugh and scold, "Come whenever you want. You always choose mealtime to come."

A sullen-faced sentry officer sighed, "If you ask me, our commander is the best at calculating people's hearts, and that captain Zhang is the most shameless."

"Haha."

"You are so good, Zhuozhi, plotting against Dusi behind his back."

"No wonder Dusi said you're such a talented person. It makes me laugh to death."

The black-faced sentry officer's comments immediately made everyone laugh, and Qi Shannian also laughed continuously because Zhuo Zhi's description was so vivid.

The Dusi was not as strict with them as he seemed.

Instead, they use a set of rules to tie you down tightly and force you to move in only one direction.

It's like reciting the injunction.

The punishment was not very severe.

But all the brothers are waiting for you to have dinner together, and you are the leader, so who can be lazy?
Everyone was scared to death.

I was afraid that I couldn’t memorize it all.

Even those who have the most trouble learning to read have to bite the bullet and try their best to memorize the text.

As for Zhang Can.

Qi Shannian cursed with a silent smile, "Not only did he come alone, he even brought his own men along. It's our Du Si who's so generous that he didn't refuse him from coming. Not only did he not stop him from stealing his knowledge, he even gave him advice from time to time."

Zhang Can came here several days ago.

Later, whenever he finished training his own soldiers, he would run to the Hexi small camp when he had nothing to do, for fear of missing out on the Dusi's training. Now, not only did he come himself, he also brought his officers to watch together.

Zhang Can didn't care about other people's opinions. Seeing Qi Shannian and the others coming over, he smiled and said, "These little monkeys have finally passed the test. It's just a ban, but it delays things every time."

Don't mention anything you haven't memorized yet.

Just because Zhang Can doesn’t care doesn’t mean his subordinates don’t care.

Some people were unconvinced, lowered their heads, and whispered contemptuously, "There are not many young and strong people, most of them are old and weak, how can they fight a war?"

The small camp in Hexi was finally formed into an army.

Most of the young and strong were picked away.

Zhang Can took advantage.

It is a good thing that the officers below are dissatisfied, because dissatisfaction will give them motivation. Zhang Can did not say much, waiting for the meal to start and having a free meal.

This guy Wang Xin.

He does have his own way of training soldiers.

This is what I value.

The methods are different from those of the border towns and the Beijing troops, or as he said, the thinking is different. They are not based on the same root and are naturally completely different. Even if there are some similarities, they are actually worlds apart.

Zhang Can had never seen him before, so he wanted to meet him to see if he was as capable as Wang Xin boasted and to open his eyes.

The old and weak in the team next to him.

The old man looked disgusted.

I really want to cut a knife on that captain's face.

So shameless.

I always feel like he ate his own rice.
