When they came back from dinner, the young recruits were already sitting on the floor in a mess. After seeing Jia Zhengjin, they immediately stood up in a panic.
No military discipline at all!
"What did I just say?" Walking to the team, Jia Zhengjin frowned and looked at Amber.
"Lord Keen..."
"What did I just say?" Jia Zhengjin asked again.
Amber saw the sharp light in his eyes and immediately shrank her neck: "Before you call stop, keep the previous posture..."
"Then what are you doing?" Jia Zhengjin asked coldly.
"I'm sorry, Master Keen, but..."
"There are no exceptions in the army!" He interrupted Amber and said sternly, "Since you want to be soldiers, you must first learn to obey!"
"But Sir Keen, I have never seen those kobold troops standing around training like this!" A young man in the crowd argued.
"Since you mentioned kobolds..." Jia Zhengjin responded in a cold tone, "When I ask them to sacrifice themselves to entangle the enemy, even if they know they are not opponents, they do not hesitate! This is the obedience of the army! And you
What? If you can’t even obey a simple command to stand still, why should you be a soldier? Get me the equipment as soon as possible and go back to farming!!”
As soon as these words came out, all the young people, including Amber, had expressions of shame on their faces.
"Who refuted me just now?" Jia Zhengjin asked seriously.
"Report to Mr. Keen, it's me!!" A young man walked out of the crowd, looking somewhat responsible.
"Do you have any objection to punishing you for mining for one day?" Jia Zhengjin asked.
"No objection!!" The young man immediately replied loudly.
Mining is the most tiring job among all the labor in the city, and only those old miners who have been accustomed to it for many years will do it. For young people, this is very difficult.
"Go to the warehouse and get the pickaxe yourself, and then set off immediately!"
"Yes!!" The young man immediately left the team and hurried to the warehouse to get tools.
"Do you still have any objections?" Jia Zhengjin turned to look at the recruits in front of him.
"No!!" Amber immediately took the lead, and everyone answered loudly in unison.
"Since it was not completed just now, let's start from now on!" Jia Zhengjin said loudly, "Keep standing in the military posture until I tell you to stop! Anyone who disobeys the order will be directly removed from the team without a second chance!"
"Follow your orders!" When they heard that there was no second chance and that they might never have the chance to serve as soldiers, these young men were all afraid. They immediately held their heads high and stood up straight with their crossbows in hand, never daring to slack off.
During this period, there were a few people with weak physical strength who started to shake a little after standing for a long time. But in the end, they gritted their teeth and persisted, even though it didn't take long before they saw stars in their eyes and felt like the world was spinning.
When most of the people seemed to have reached their limit and all started to stagger, Jia Zhengjin finally stopped: "Your physical strength is so poor! You can't even stand the most basic military posture. How will you fight in the future?"
These young people are saying that they don’t need to stand in any military posture to join the town guards! Why can they fight, but we can’t? But no one dares to say it openly.
"Every day from now on, I will let you stand in military posture for a period of time!" Jia Zhengjin announced loudly, "Now, I will give you some time to drink water and rest. When I blow the whistle, everyone will gather immediately!"
The recruits were already exhausted. After hearing Jia Zhengjin's words, they felt as if they had been granted amnesty. They rushed home and drank cold boiled water. Or they washed their faces and hands with cold water.
Within a few minutes, Jia Zhengjin picked up the whistle and blew it.
The new recruits gathered in a hurry and formed a chaotic assembly before him.
Although he was not very satisfied with their assembly speed, Jia Zhengjin still said: "Next, let's do basic marching training! If you want to be a soldier, you must first have good physical strength! Without physical strength, you will be defeated by the enemy soon on the battlefield! Everyone
Yes, come with me!"
He led this team of new soldiers out of the inner city and all the way to the outer city wall: "Start now, Amber!"
"Master Keen, please give me instructions!" Amber immediately stepped forward.
"You lead the team and everyone starts jogging around the outer city wall! Starting from the city gate, run three laps first!"
Three circles? The outer city wall is so big! Amber's eyes almost popped out. But he still gritted his teeth and nodded: "Yes!"
"Run!" Jia Zhengjin ordered.
"Let's go!!" Amber led the team from the front. Although the recruits had a bitter look on their faces, they quietly began to run forward.
"Wolf," Jia Zhengjin called to the werewolf, "go monitor them and don't let them be lazy."
"Follow your wishes!" Wolf grinned and chased after him at extremely fast speeds.
Back in the inner city, Tina brought Perin to greet her.
Jia Zhengjin saw that the follower behind them had disappeared, so he asked curiously: "Where is Christina?"
"She is over there in the farmland, asking for advice on farming!" Tina replied.
"What kind of land is she going to farm as a pastor?" Jia Zhengjin frowned.
"No! She just went to learn some common sense, not to farm the land herself." Tina explained.
"Forget it, leave her alone!" Jia Zhengjin shook his head. This Christina had no consciousness of being a prisoner of war. Of course, he did not regard her as a prisoner of war. This was the main reason.
"Kean, why are you so harsh on Amber and the others? I don't mean anything else, I just want to ask." Tina came over and held his hand, "You let the town guards do whatever they want."
"The town guards have their own systematic training knowledge, so there is no need for me to interrupt!" Jia Zhengjin said, "Buddy, Rabbi, and even Peilin all have inherited sword training methods. Young people like Amber, but
There is no foundation. They have not even developed the most basic obedience of the army. If I am not stricter, how can I turn them into a useful combat force?"
Tina gently squeezed the back of his hand: "Am I taking too much care? I shouldn't be involved in these things in the first place..."
"I know it well," Jia Zhengjin said with a smile. "If you and Peilin have any good suggestions or have any doubts, you can put them forward. It doesn't matter! But don't worry too much about training the army. I won't eat it.
How can you ever see a pig running after passing pork? As long as they train according to my orders, they can definitely form a strong team!"
"Kean, is pork edible? What kind of pig do you eat? Fiery pig, thorn-tusked pig, or Warcraft moon-horned pig?" Tina decisively went off topic, "Is pork delicious?"
"Hey!" Jia Zhengjin was quite speechless, "Tina, is your thinking jumping?"
