PS: Dear book friends, remember to join the group. It’s up to you whether you can let Jiu Deng code 24 hours a day during the Qingming holiday.
"Is this a special forces training base?" Qin Yu still didn't hold back and asked Meng Fang.
"What do you think?" Meng Fang rolled his eyes at Qin Yu. Qin Yu didn't care about Meng Fang's tone. It was clear from Meng Fang's words that this was indeed a special forces training base.
"Why is it called Aoying Training Base?" Qin Yu didn't understand who gave it such a name.
"Think about what Yaoying refers to and you will understand." Meng Fang nodded Qin Yu.
"Boiling the Eagle" is an old Beijing dialect, also called "Boiling the Eagle". It is a method of training falcons. It mainly comes from the nomadic people. Qin Yu has seen some information on this aspect.
The so-called "cooking" means not letting the eagle sleep for several days to wear away the wildness of the eagle. However, not all eagles are suitable for "cooking". Under normal circumstances, "cooking" refers to goshawks.
Training an eagle is hard work, especially among nomadic peoples who have retained the tradition of falcon training for generations. Before domestication, the eagle must be fed delicious food to make it grow fat and strong as quickly as possible. But at this time
The eagle's fat is a kind of empty fat, and it needs to be turned into muscles to gain strength.
When training a falcon, you first have to fatten the eagle. Not only do you not feed it, but you also have to wash its stomach. After washing the stomach, bathe the eagle with hot water to make it sweat. At night, put the eagle in a rough place specially designed for falcon training.
On the rope, the eagle could not stand steadily, and there were people below who kept hitting the rope with sticks, causing the rope to keep shaking, so that the eagle could not sleep. This is called sleeping.
Of course, falcon boiling is only a part of falcon training. After the falcon boiling is completed, the eagle will be left with only a layer of skin and bones, without any energy, and then the taming will begin.
Put a blindfold on the eagle, feed it some meat from rabbits, pigeons, and birds, so that it can eat and become familiar with the taste of humans.
Cooking an eagle is an extremely complicated and hard work. In addition to the nomadic people who still retain this traditional method of cooking an eagle, people now use a simplified method of cooking an eagle.
Tie the eagle's feet to a wooden stick so that its feet cannot leave the stick, and place it in a separate empty room. Then use a large light bulb in the room, 500W or 1,000, and keep it on 24 hours a day.
At the beginning, the eagle can insist on moving around. Once it is found that the eagle is not moving, the person who tortures the eagle will shake the wooden stick, just like the interrogation of prisoners in Hong Kong and Taiwan. The eagle will not be allowed to rest for 24 hours, and it will be tamed for up to three days.
However, the eagles boiled in this way are generally not very good at hunting. The eagles boiled among the nomads are called real boiled eagles. The scene of eagle hunting is also exciting to watch.
The hunter holds the eagle with his left hand, whips with his right hand, horses hooves galloping, and hounds run wildly. The hunter keeps an eye on the prey. After choosing the terrain, he quickly lifts off the eagle's blindfold, pulls off the eagle's feet, and whistles, making the hunter go crazy with hunger.
, the nearly frantic falcon soared into the sky like an arrow and rushed towards the frightened prey.
A good horse is hard to replace with a good eagle. It can be seen that a domesticated eagle is too precious. The reason why Qin Yu learned about the culture of making eagles is because of a poem he learned in the textbook. The great writer
Su Shi's Jiangchengzi - Hunting in Mizhou:
"I'm talking about being a teenager, holding a yellow hand on the left, holding a blue sky on the right, wearing a brocade hat and mink fur, and riding thousands of horses on a flat hill..."
When he first read this poem, Qin Yu's mind became interested in ancient hunting, and he went to check some information, and then he learned about eagle hunting.
"I see."
Qin Yu understood the meaning of the name of this training base, which is to compare those special forces to eagles. Training here is like being tortured by eagles. As long as they can survive successfully, there will be a day when eagles will strike the sky.
However, Qin Yu also felt a hint of sadness from the word "Ao Ying". The word "Ao Ying" is enough to show how cruel this training is. Those who can stay should be the elite of the elite.
Meng Fang's car finally stopped in front of a row of bungalows. Meng Fang greeted Qin Yu, got out of the car and walked to the door of one of the bungalows. He tidied his clothes before knocking on the door a few times.
"Come in."
A deep voice came from the door, and Meng Fang opened the door, gave Qin Yu a look to follow, and walked in.
"Uncle Li."
Meng Fang said respectfully to a middle-aged man who was standing in front of the table looking at documents in the room.
Qin Yu looked at the middle-aged man in front of Meng Fang with confusion. You must know that Meng Fang is the number one young master in GD Province. Who else can deserve such a respectful attitude from him?
The middle-aged man was about forty years old. He hesitated and lowered his head to read the document. Qin Yu could not see his appearance clearly, but the military rank badge on the man's shoulder made Qin Yu startled.
The golden olive branch and two gold stars on the man's epaulette made Qin Yu's eyes widen. Friends who are familiar with military ranks know that the olive branch is the symbol of a general-level officer. This middle-aged man is actually a lieutenant general, equivalent to the commander and deputy commander of the army.
A long position.
A special forces training base actually had a lieutenant general. Qin Yu secretly smacked his lips. What kind of special forces was this? The organization level was too high. No wonder Meng Fang was so respectful. He could become a lieutenant general at the age of forty. In the army,
It’s not common. In addition to having connections, you also need to be able to show results that convince others.
Now is an era of peace, not the original war era. New China was founded. When Taizu held a conferment ceremony, Wu Zhong, who was only 33 years old, was named a major general. He was already the youngest general in New China, but that was during the war.
Era, one can climb up step by step by relying on military exploits.
In peacetime, one could become a lieutenant general in his forties. This was the first time Qin Yu saw that a man from Taizu's lineage only became a major general in his thirties.
When the middle-aged man heard Meng Fang's words, he raised his head. Two rays of light swept over Meng Fang, and then fell on Qin Yu. Qin Yu seemed to be stared at by a goshawk, and it was still a goshawk staring at its prey.
That kind of look.
In just an instant, a trickle of sweat broke out on Qin Yu's forehead. This man's gaze was too sharp, and Qin Yu could feel the evil aura on the man's body. This evil aura alone could make ghosts and gods afraid to approach.
"This is a killing god. How much blood must be stained on his hands to have such evil aura." Qin Yu muttered in his heart. The moment the middle-aged man just raised his head, Qin Yu felt that the middle-aged man's whole body was covered with blood.
Surrounded by evil spirits, Qin Yu still found it unimaginable that so much evil energy appeared on one person.
In the Zhuge Neijing, there is a record of a fierce man named Dian Wei. It is said that Dian Wei had a powerful evil spirit. At first, Yuan Shao sent his warlocks to deal with Cao Cao. As a result, the ghosts summoned by the warlocks
, there is no way to get close to Cao Cao's side, because Dian Wei is Cao Cao's personal bodyguard.
All the ghosts and monsters within ten feet of Dianwei were defeated by this evil spirit and disappeared. However, Dianwei was born evil, and this middle-aged man obviously acquired it.
That's why Qin Yu was shocked. It takes a lot of blood to have such a soaring evil spirit. It can't be obtained by killing one or two people. Moreover, this middle-aged man can obviously control this evil spirit. There are countless strange people and masters in China.
, Qin Yu now truly understands the meaning of this sentence. (To be continued)
