Regardless of whether the ten commanders of the Second Corps accepted Tang Yin's ideas, no one wanted to be accused of dereliction of duty. The training for new recruits was extremely harsh, almost like a devil's training.
In the morning, they exercise their physical fitness, in the morning they train fighting skills, and in the afternoon they train on riding or archery. Even in the evening, they also conduct square formation training and formation evolution training. Almost the whole day is spent in rigorous and rigorous training.
How could the new recruits endure such intense training?
In three days, about 40% of the 10,000 recruits withdrew, and only 6,000 persisted. Each thousand commanders reported the situation to Tang Yin, and he was no exception. His principle was survival of the fittest. Since some people couldn't stand it, he would do it.
He would not force himself. He approached Wu Mei and asked her for new recruits. Of course the latter agreed.
After adding new soldiers, three days later, 2,000 people still left. Tang Yin went to Wu Mei again to ask for new soldiers to fill the vacancy. This time, Wu Mei was also strange. She didn't know what Tang Yin was doing and why the soldiers were there.
The men will quit so many and so quickly.
But she understood Tang Yin's temper, so she didn't ask any more questions and sent him two thousand new soldiers.
But within two days, Tang Yin came again, this time asking for 800 new soldiers to fill the vacancy.
This was repeated until Wu Mei almost became numb in the end. Whenever she saw Tang Yin coming to find her, she would take the initiative to ask him if he was looking for someone again without him having to say anything.
This situation was not relieved until half a month later.
Tang Yin was quite satisfied with the results of the half-month training. He had been observing the training of the new recruits all day long. Although he didn't say anything, he had kept the training process in mind and considered whether there was anything wrong with it.
place.
In the evening of the same day, he found the ten captains to his residence. First, he expressed that he was satisfied with the efforts of the ten captains, and then he made his own request.
"On the battlefield, speed is crucial. Our regiment is an infantry regiment. Whether it is a long journey or a sudden attack, we need two legs, so physical strength is crucial. Just doing physical training in the morning is not enough. I think so,
"As he spoke, he looked at Qiu Zhen and asked, "I see there is a mountain near the camp in the north of the city. What is the name of the mountain?"
Qiu Zhen replied: "Wuyang Mountain is about fifteen miles away from the camp."
"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded and said: "In the future, for physical training, the recruits will be asked to make a rapid march to Wuyang Mountain, a round trip of thirty miles, completed within an hour. Also, they cannot go into battle lightly, they must have all the armor and weapons. In addition,
Add another twenty kilograms of weight."
Phew! Ten thousand captains almost vomited blood. Thirty miles away, twenty kilograms of weight, completed within one hour. It was a bit too difficult for ordinary soldiers who had never practiced spiritual martial arts. The current lineup of new recruits is very difficult.
Only then has it stabilized. If we practice like this, I'm afraid there will be a large number of people who can't hold on.
"Is this... not too harsh?" The ten captains did not dare to speak, and all looked at Qiu Zhen, who had the closest relationship with Tang Yin. Qiu Zhen understood everyone's difficulties, and he leaned forward and asked tentatively.
road.
"Only those who endure hardships can become masters. This is an eternal truth." Tang Yin said: "The Second Infantry Regiment wants to become the strongest infantry regiment in Feng Kingdom. How can it sit at home and not hold the title of the strongest?"
Will it fall from the sky?"
As he spoke, he stood up, looked around at everyone, and said quietly: "As people go up, water flows down. When people live in this world, they must have ambition. Brothers, I hope that our corps can become the leader of the Feng Kingdom and even the entire empire.
The best and strongest corps, don't you just settle for the status quo and don't want to get to the next level? Since we choose to join the army, we have given up a life of mediocrity. If there is no momentum and no motivation to move forward, then what will we do in the future?
What’s the point of being in the military?”
When everyone heard this, they were all moved. They looked at each other and nodded deeply. Then they all stood up and said in a loud voice: "General Tang taught his subordinates that they must do their best!"
Perhaps Deng Mingyang, Lu Bing, Zhang Jiu, and Li Feipeng looked down on Tang Yin at first, thinking that he got up through nepotism, but now, their impressions of Tang Yin have greatly changed. At least he is not the kind of person who is just waiting to die.
People who are dawdling in the military.
"Very good!" Tang Yin looked at everyone and said: "As long as we have tried our best, even if we have not done our best, even if we have not compared ourselves to others, at least we can feel at ease and not feel guilty or regretful."
"Yes, General Tang!"
"Everyone has worked hard in the past half month. Let's take a rest tomorrow!"
This was great news for everyone. After half a month, the recruits had worked hard and were exhausted. They were naturally happy to have a day of free time. Everyone looked happy, and the atmosphere in the hall relaxed.
.
"Okay, that's all I have to say. If you have nothing to do, please come back."
"General Tang, my subordinates say goodbye!"
Everyone left one after another in a happy mood. Qiu Zhen did not leave, but looked at Tang Yin with bright eyes and a smile.
He raised his eyebrows in confusion and asked, "What are you looking at? There are flowers on my nose?"
"That's not true. I just think that you are more and more suitable for your current position. You are even better than I imagined." Qiu Zhen expressed his true thoughts.
Tang Yin was amused and said, "Are you praising me?"
Qiu Zhen nodded and said, "Of course."
"Do I still need your praise?" Tang Yin looked Qiu Zhen up and down, then changed the subject and said, "You seem to be very idle as the deputy commander!"
Qiu Zhen had a premonition that he was about to be plotted, so he hurriedly said: "How can it be possible? I also have a lot of things to do."
"Isn't it?!" Tang Yin rolled his eyes and said: "It is estimated that many soldiers will quit after this training begins. From now on, it will be up to you to ask Wu Mei for new recruits. In addition, I think the soldiers
Our equipment is not very complete. You can do some statistics to see what is missing, and then ask the quartermaster for it. From now on, you can just take care of trivial matters like this on your own initiative, without asking me to ask."
"I..." Qiu Zhen was a little confused about whether to laugh or cry, and shook his head helplessly.
Tang Yin gave his soldiers a day off. He thought it would be a relaxing day and there would be nothing to worry about. However, it turned out that what happened that day turned out to be the most troublesome.
In the early morning, Tang Yin got up, washed up, and punched in the courtyard as usual to stretch his muscles. After eating, he began to read in the room.
He may have read more books during this period than he has in his life. First, he is eager to understand the world, and the knowledge gained from Yan Lie's memory is too limited. In addition, since he has joined the army, he must
Be familiar with all kinds of military art, military books, and master some combat skills. Even if you think the things in the books are not very useful, you must at least be aware of them.
By noon, Qiu Zhen, Guyue and Letian came together.
Now they all have their own residences and no longer need to live in Tang Yin's place, but they still like to go to Tang Yin's place whenever they have time.
Qiu Zhen came here just to chat or talk about the Corps. He had no relatives or friends in Yancheng, and the only one he could talk to was Tang Yin. Literary people are arrogant. This is a fact, and Qiu Zhen can like it.
There are not many people.
But Gu Yue and Lotte have other goals.
The two of them accidentally watched Tang Yin's boxing and kicking skills. They thought it was very novel at first, but only after they got into real contact did they realize the mystery and power of it.
Both of them hoped to learn some simple and practical kung fu or moves from Tang Yin, firstly, to enhance their own strength, and secondly, to teach the soldiers under their command to improve their combat effectiveness.
Tang Yin will not publicize his Kung Fu everywhere, but he will not hide it either. Both Gu Yue and Lotte have a foundation in Lingwu, good physical fitness, and a solid foundation. It is easy to learn Kung Fu. Tang Yin will also pass on what he has learned.
There are quite a few of them.
When they were together, they also competed with each other, not using spiritual martial arts, but simply competing with fists and kicks.
Today was no exception. As usual, Gu Yue and Letian worked together to defeat Tang Yin, while Qiu Zhen watched the excitement.
Tang Yin was very relaxed in dealing with the two of them. He put his hands behind his back and swam left and right with only his flexible movements. Gu and Le were already tired and panting.
After beating for a long time, it didn't even stick to the edge of his clothes. Guyue and Letian both gave up and sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, breathing heavily.
Looking at Tang Yin with a relaxed face, Gu Yue couldn't help but ask: "Brother Tang, how did you practice your body skills?"
Because they became familiar with Tang Yin, Guyue and Letian, like Qiu Zhen, also called him Brother Tang in private, but Tang Yin had no sense of hierarchy and others didn't care much about what he was called.
"Practice is very painful." Tang Yin shrugged and smiled.
"Ah?" Gu and Le didn't understand what he meant.
Tang Yin sat down, his eyes gradually became deeper, and said: "When I was a child, I lived in the deep mountains and old forests. I had to go up the mountains to collect firewood every day. However, there were too many branches in the mountains, which would often scratch my clothes, and I didn't have any extra money.
You can change your clothes. If you want to keep warm and not freeze to death in the mountains, you can only pay attention to avoid those branches. As time goes by, your reactions and speed will become faster."
"So that's it!" Guyue and Letian were secretly surprised. They really didn't expect that Tang Yin, who looked fair and clean, was born in such a poor family.
If they knew that Tang Yin also had a master who would give him a stick whenever his clothes were found to be damaged, they would probably be even more surprised.
The hardships in his childhood made Tang Yin's character distorted and cynical. It wasn't until he came to this world that he slowly became like a human being, able to be happy, angry, and caring, instead of the original one who could only kill people.
