The Hedong Army now has 50,000 people, with five cavalry battalions, four infantry battalions, and one infantry battalion. Although it has not yet been fully recruited, it is much better than the original 30,000 people.
However, can Zhu Biao be satisfied with only 50,000 people? To kill Hu Di, 100,000 people are not enough. Not to mention that Zhu Tong, Zhu Zhong, Yang Yanzhang and others are all Zhonglang generals, and they are led by their subordinates. But there was only one battalion of soldiers. After seeing the scale of the Central Plains War, Zhu Biao became increasingly dissatisfied.
However, Hedong's resources are limited, Zhu Biao's financial resources are also limited, and they must maintain peace with Peiping. It is absolutely impossible to expand the army privately. Everything will have to wait for the next time.
So, if Zhu Biao returns to Hedong with such a famous name, everything will be ok, and there will never be less trouble. But at this moment, Zhu Biao has completely forgotten all of this. After a long drought, there will be rain. When the clouds turned rainy and the red luan stars shone down, how could he care about those?!
After a good night's sleep, when the east turned white, Shan Yuping was still deep in sleep, but Zhu Biao had already woken up. In the faint morning light, he saw his wife curled up in his arms, her cheeks as white as jade, and her long eyelashes. Like a feather fan, the corners of the lips are raised slightly, showing that he is sleeping soundly.
Unconsciously, Zhu Biao touched his wife's delicate and smooth skin again, feeling the warmth from his palm, and an impulse rose from the bottom of his heart again. Anyway, the child is taken care of by Nolan and Shu Lan. .
The rough palm couldn't help but stroke it gently, once and for all, and then, not long after, the palm of my hand felt a jump and it really moved!
With the sound of "Hmm", Shan Yuping was awakened from her sleep. Before her eyes opened, her hand had already reached towards her abdomen to grab the big hand that was causing trouble on her body.
She opened her eyes in confusion, and what she saw before her was Zhu Biao's deep eyes. They were staring at her softly and fiercely. Shan Yuping's cheeks turned red, she lowered her head and moved, finding a comfortable position to position herself. In Zhu Biao's arms, her husband's breath was all around her ears. She put her arms around her husband's neck and listened with satisfaction to her husband's strong and thumping heartbeat.
The heated kang was burning just right. It was warm and warm when I slept on it. There was no need to use incense in the house for a long time. I was worried that it would be harmful to the baby. Shan Yuping ordered people to put a lot of fruits in the house, so there was a sense of warmth. Refreshing and sweet aroma.
With the beautiful lady Zhu Biao in her arms, the nephrite was fragrant, and the heat all over her body started to burn even more. Lifting her delicate little chin, she saw a smile on her eyes and brows. There was a bit of blush on her cheeks, and her face was as bright as the morning glow. As beautiful as a flower.
Looking into each other's eyes, they slowly leaned down, kissed the lips as red as cherry blossoms, sucked gently and deeply, and lingered. The right hand clasped the restless and twisting body. The left hand reached in from the hem of the clothes. I caressed the delicate body that is never enough. Once again, I can confirm that after not seeing each other for more than half a year, the Xueying on my wife’s chest has really become much fuller.
Shan Yuping only felt wrapped in Zhu Biao's aura. Her whole body felt like it was on fire. She knew it was inappropriate, but she was so soft that she had no strength to push him away, and she didn't want to push him away.
Reunion after a long separation. It is easy to get emotional, not to mention that the two of them have the same mind at this time. It is the time when love is strong, the deeper the kiss becomes, the deeper the kiss becomes, and the soft moaning gradually begins.
Untying his jade-colored tunic, he saw in front of him a light green tube top embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water, tightly wrapped around his white body. Looking down... Zhu Biao's eyes darkened...
More than an hour later, when Zhu Biao came out of the room refreshed, Shan Yuping was already as soft as a puddle of mud on the bed.
…
…
It is surrounded by high bluestone barriers, neatly built, forming a courtyard wall the size of ten acres of land, like a military primary school.
A thick wooden fence horizontally divides the space inside the courtyard wall into two parts, one large and one small. The small one only occupies about one-fifth of the area, and the rest is occupied by the large one.
In front of a buzzing crowd.
"Stand up, stand up, ten people in a row, ten people in a row! ... Hey, what about you, did you hear clearly, it's ten people in a row! Ten people! You don't know how to count?" a short
The big man, neatly dressed but with a red cloth tied around his left arm, shouted loudly to the crowd. He also carried a two-foot-long black lacquered wooden stick in his right hand.
Behind this group of people, there was another person in the same costume. At this time, he was also shouting loudly at the crowd, and he also stepped forward to pull people from time to time. It could be said that he was teaching people to line up step by step.
Across from this group of people, there is also a group of people. Compared with the group of people next to them, the order of this group of people is much better. At least they no longer run around like headless flies, and there are not so many
Instead, under the guidance of two veterans, a square formation of a hundred people was slowly formed. Although it took a long time.
"What the hell are you doing to eat? It's been two days, it's been two days, and you still can't stand in line. Why squeeze? If you can't stand anymore, you're still drinking water today. There are more than ninety others.
Brothers, I have to drink water all day just because of you."
Waving the wooden stick, the veteran roared loudly, wanting to crush those fools to death. If they died, they would get the reward today, which was only five taels of silver.
——Within three days, he taught his subordinates how to line up and line up the refugees. The progress of the people next to them has already surpassed the two brothers by a lot.
He hurriedly looked back at the funnel behind him. Most of the sand had dripped down, and there wasn't much time left. "Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up."
This furious veteran had no idea that right behind him, behind the thick wooden fence, Zhu Biao was standing with his arms in his arms, looking at the two teams on the field with a smile, and secretly laughing in his heart.
The power of money is indeed huge. The reward of five taels of silver gave these veterans who had retired from active service due to various reasons a strong motivation.
This is true for the entire Hedong Army recruit training. Relying on the refugees and refugees that still exist on a large scale in the Northern Han Dynasty, they gather nutrients bit by bit and strengthen their strength.
There are as many as thirteen training sites like this in Hedong. They can train three or four hundred people at a time, or only one or two hundred, or even one hundred is not enough. However, they are continuously delivering supplies to various departments of the Hedong Army.
Bloodline.
At least this is better than recruiting people on a large scale and bringing them into the new barracks together, allowing Peking to clearly control everything.
This kind of 'contradiction' is the Hedong Army's most direct attitude towards the Northern Han Dynasty today.
I will not rebel or cause rebellion. I may have hidden strength. I will never reveal it to Peking. The sudden change of heart of the new king at that time hurt not only Zhu Biao himself, but also the entire Hedong Army generals.
According to the training regulations, the people who arrived were divided into teams of 100 people. Each team has two main and deputy instructors, both of whom are retired disabled veterans. One round is one month!
Their duty is to provide preliminary training to the newly recruited refugees and refugees. Let them experience the differences in the military and initially acquire basic military skills.
For example, the current queue returned from a scattered state to a 10*10 queue in half a quarter of an hour. Everyone's position cannot be changed, and of course, there cannot be any chaos.
For those who complete this training within three days, that is, for those who complete the formation of one hundred newcomers within half a quarter of an hour, the chief and deputy instructors will each be rewarded with five taels of silver, and their normal daily salary is three taels of silver per day.
After three days, if anyone is unable to complete the task, both instructors will be given a demerit first. After three demerits, they will be dismissed, and their salary of 5 taels of silver will be deducted. If the result still fails after five days, the principal and deputy instructors will be dismissed and replaced.
There are many regulations like this, so no instructor on the field has a good temper. After all, for people like them, especially disabled veterans, the reward of being an instructor is definitely very rich.
If you work honestly, you can get about ten taels of silver a month, and everyone will receive a reward during each festival. In today's world, this is definitely a high income, a high income!
So this also stimulates the instructors' tempers to become even more explosive. There is a saying: there is no most irritable, only more irritable!
There is also a comparison of the training results between the teams. The winners are also rewarded. And they are no less than the training rewards.
The rewards for the trained recruits are also generous depending on their status. For example, after the formation training is completed, they can take a good bath, put on uniformly made clothes, cloth shoes, and eat.
It has become three days a day, but there are good and bad ones according to the quality of training. Of course, there are also punishments of not being allowed to eat or drinking water. But compared to now, those who exceed the time limit for the first time in the queue every morning
, I drank water for three meals a day, but I didn’t know how much better I felt.
A smile kept appearing on Zhu Biao's face. This is the charm of money. It can make the devil push the grinding mill or the grinding mill push the ghost. If not, how could these retired veterans put in so much effort?
As for the new recruits on the field, Zhu Biao didn't have too many worries. They were still refugees and refugees before, but now they can drink three meals a day, which is much better than them living outside.
Moreover, there are other methods in the rules and regulations that have not been used, and until the end, the almighty person will be obedient.
The short day passed quickly, and the next morning came again. Zhu Biao once again came to the training ground closest to the county town.
This is the fourth day of formal training for Team A here, and the third day of formal training for Team B here.
"Hurry up, hurry up, stand still for me!" The instructor of Team B was still shouting loudly, but his face was much more confident than yesterday. Although yesterday's assault formation ended in
It ended up falling short, but after an afternoon of intensive training, they were able to complete the formation within the specified time, and successfully completed it three times in a row, which gave him and his partner a lot of confidence.
The veteran in the rear team no longer had the anxiety he had before. Yesterday afternoon's training also gave him a lot of confidence. "Line up well, line up well, and you can eat dry food from today on. There are steamed buns, pancakes, etc."
There are also fat buns with oily bites, everything you need..." The veteran, who also came from a poor family, naturally knew how to stimulate the group of people in front of him. He opened and closed his mouth to eat. And to be honest, he didn't even want to go home.
Eat. When I come to train every month, the quality of food and drinks here is much better than what I eat at home.
"Let me tell you, as long as you can finish the procession on time and pass the inspection, each of you will be given a new set of clothes and a new pair of shoes, and you will be able to take a comfortable bath."
Continuous material stimulation caused everyone's adrenaline to rise in the one hundred people of Team B. And didn't they already have Team A reflecting on them? This was not the moonlight in the mist promised by the superiors, but a real deal.
The real thing.
Although when they first arrived here, they were satisfied with eating porridge three times a day. But now, yesterday afternoon's training, they successfully lined up three times in a row, which gave them endless room for imagination. And they drank it for three consecutive days.
They are so hungry that they are already eating steamed buns, fried cakes, and fat meat buns.
After swallowing and smearing, the one hundred people from Team B kept up their efforts, and sure enough, within half a quarter of an hour, they successfully lined up before the hourglass ran out.
"Okay!" Zhu Biao clapped his hands and shouted "Okay" to the two veterans who turned to look at him. Team B has passed!
The two veterans got the approval of their own Zhu Biao, and their faces immediately turned red with excitement. They were worried before, but now all their worries turned into a strong sense of accomplishment in their hearts. The instructor turned to Zhu Biao and Zhu Biao's side
The person in charge of the training ground laughed. Then he turned his back. Although he tried his best to keep a straight face, he could not hide the joy on his face. However, he was happy, and he still had to pour the cold water on him. Use
Pointing to the remaining sand in the hourglass, the veteran lectured to the one hundred members of Team B: "Did you see it? This is the remaining sand we have today. When we line up again tomorrow morning, the remaining sand will be left at that time."
The sand must be less than here, but not more than here."
"If it's too much, I'll only have coarse grain pancakes and cornmeal batter to drink in the morning." The veteran nodded with satisfaction as he watched the members of Team B whose excitement gradually faded. This person couldn't be complacent, right? He thought if he hadn't been
I worked hard during training. This life was gone a long time ago, and my wife and children are still there.
"If you want to eat white steamed buns with good noodles, if you want to eat burnt sesame oil cakes, if you want to eat fat and fat steamed buns with meat, you have to practice hard for me, practice hard, make progress every day, step by step. Otherwise
What does our Hedong Army raise and train you for? What is it for?
That's not raising pigs. You are raised for a purpose, to fight and kill wild dogs."
Although he has retired, the veteran obviously still regards himself as a member of Zhu Biao's army.
"Dang-dang--" The wooden stick knocked on the container containing the remaining sand. The veteran coughed, cleared his voice and continued: "Did you see this? The sand in this thing is a funnel, a whole funnel. So.
According to the rules of our Hedong Army, when the remaining sand from your formation can be gathered together to fill this full funnel, then I will give you half a day off..."
In order to mobilize the enthusiasm of recruit training, Zhu Biao and the generals who stayed in Hedong can be said to have spent a lot of time and brains to come up with ways and custom rules, all of which affected their own interests.
Zhu Biao sighed in his heart. To be honest, if it wasn't for the purpose of replenishing his strength as quickly as possible, he really wouldn't want to train like this with everything linked to his own interests.
The military really shouldn't train like this.
At this moment, Zhu Biao had a smile on his face, but in his heart he was so envious of the Red Army in his previous life. The Red Army was far from as wealthy as he is today, but their team was an iron team taught by iron thoughts.
How can we compare to the group of people in front of us who were attracted by material stimulation?
In three days, a group of ignorant and illiterate men were required to line up in an orderly manner. The time given by Zhu Biao was not too generous.
Don't use the standards of his previous life to measure the current world. In Zhu Biao's previous life, lining up with hundreds of people was completely relaxed and without any pressure, but now it is an alien world, a completely ancient society, not one with the height of material information.
In the developed 21st century, this simple formation in front of us requires a lot of patience, severe punishment, and endless yelling in three days to make these one hundred people do it.
"There are two meat buns per person, and the rest of the fried cakes and steamed buns are enough. You can eat as much as you want. But the only requirement is that no one is allowed to waste it! I will eat as much as you take. If you can't eat anymore, stuff it for me.
, also stuff it into your stomach!" The veteran stood at the dining window of Team B and shouted loudly to the team members in front of him.
Team A, as for Team A, had already lined up neatly and took turns to eat.
The so-called dining window is a one-foot-square hole in the middle of the wooden fence, just like the counter of a bank bank in this era, and it is roughly the same as the window of Zhu Biao's canteen in his previous life.
"One bowl per person, you choose whether to drink rice soup or hot and sour soup!" Inside the fence, next to the buns, pancakes, and steamed buns, there are three large pots. The outermost one is a pot of boiled water, followed by rice porridge.
And a pot of hot and sour soup.
The former is already a real porridge, with a lot of rice grains looking like they are floating, unlike the thick porridge that could not be poured over when standing with chopsticks as it was a few days ago.
The latter is a very common food in this era. Its origin has been traced for a long time. It is widely spread throughout the Central Plains and even the world. Whether you are rich or poor, there are many people who like to drink it.
, especially in the cold winter.
"Baos, fried cakes, hot and sour soup!" The big man in charge stared at the counter in front of him, swallowing hard, and shouted out loud as soon as he reached the window.
The recruits of each unit were arranged in two rows while eating, and the two took turns to come forward to receive the meal. As the leading pacesetter of Team B, the big man was the first in the team.
Turning towards the playground, the big man's right hand, the leader of the second column, shouted out what he wanted with almost the same urgency and loudness.
The good noodle steamed buns that were once out of reach have now become unpopular and were ignored by the two of them. (To be continued)
