Chapter three hundred and forty-eight class
(ps: Thank you for your reward from "Count He Monte Cristo"! The recognition of all book friends is the driving force for my creation!)
Because there are not enough seats in the cafeteria, each company must have a series of meal time, and each company only has fifteen minutes to pour out the seats for other companies as soon as the time comes.
When Zhu Hai and the others saw that the time was coming, they finished their meals in a few bites and quickly stood up and stood up to ship them out. The army should pay attention to teamwork and organization, and they should stand up and line up everything they do. This was the first time Ma Da saw such a soldier, and felt interesting in his heart, and asked the third brother in a low voice.
"Squad leader, do you have to line up for anything you do in the New Army?"
"Of course, if you have a military rank of one level older than you, you must absolutely obey military orders!"
"What if the sir asked me to die?"
He glanced at Ma Da and replied coldly: "Even if you know you're going to die, you'll go!"
Ma Da was startled and asked in a low voice: "Squad leader, are you going to run away?"
"Hehe, can the monk run away from the temple? You have to die in battle upon orders and give your family 200 taels of silver and fifty acres of land. If you run away, all your relatives will be sent to Luzon!"
Ma Da didn't expect that the new army's military rules were so vicious and would be implicated. Ma Da had a wife and children in Guangdong. This time he originally thought he was just accompanying Zhu Hai for a trip, but he didn't expect to get him into the military camp and become a soldier. What should I do if I die in battle?
Seeing Ma Da’s hesitation, Xiang Lao San quickly said, “Ma Da, don’t think about escaping. The new army implements a system of continuous seating. If you want to run away, you will implicate nine of us!”
When Ma Da saw that Xu Youcai and others looked at him, he quickly said, "I'm just asking, that can you escape."
"It's best. Actually, you don't have to be afraid. Our new army has strong combat power. A few months ago, our 7,000 people faced the 100,000 troops of the Qing Dynasty. Not to mention that we have completely wiped out them, we have less than a hundred people, don't worry!"
Ma Da had followed the merchant gangs before and traveled around the world. He knew the power of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty. Unexpectedly, he was defeated by the new army in front of him. Ma Da looked around and found that these guys didn't look like they were fighting against ten.
"Squad leader, you can't lie to me, right? I don't think these people look like they can beat me!"
Xiang Lao San smiled and said, "Hehe, you are all looking at recruits. You have just come from Guangdong for less than a month and haven't trained yet. You are going to take a look in half a year!"
Ma Da didn't know if he told the third son that he had joined the army anyway, so he could not escape because of his wife and children in Guangdong. It would be better to continue working and gain fame and fortune to win his wife and children.
When Zhu Hai and the others returned to their barracks, it was already dark, and two lanterns were lit in the camp, and everyone returned to their beds to prepare to go to bed.
At this moment, the company commander Zhang Fei and a young man came to the door.
Zhang Fei looked at the recruits and scolded: "All up, now our company is full of staff. From today on, the deputy company commander will teach everyone!"
Zhu Hai was stunned. Still going to class? Do you want to teach these soldiers to recognize words?
Xu Youcai next to him asked, "Squad leader, do you still have to read? I have a headache when I study!"
"It's not that you are asked to take the exam for scholars, but that you are teaching you to understand the truth and distinguish right from wrong. It is very important to recognize words in the new army. If you want to be a leader, it is the most basic to recognize five hundred words."
Xiang Lao San's nephew Xiang Rong said in a sharp voice with a slight childish voice: "If my uncle hadn't read, he would have become the company commander long ago! You must know that his military rank is now a captain, and even Company Commander Zhang would call him the old squad leader!"
Everyone didn't expect that Xiang Lao San was still a person with a story. Xu Youcai quickly asked: "Squad Leader, when did you join the army?"
"It's been a long time since His Majesty the Emperor came to Guangzhou. I was also from Huguang. At that time, I joined the new army for several years to make a living and take care of my nephew!"
"Squad leader, then you have participated in the Battle of Jiangyin?" Zhu Hai was very interested in the bloody battle of Jiangyin. At this time, he saw a veteran and of course he had to ask clearly.
Hearing Zhu Hai’s question, he sighed to the third brother and said, “Of course I participated. Chief Qian and I stayed at the North Gate for ten days. Those ten days were the sea of blood. The corpse at the North Gate was waist-deep, and the blood flowed out was over the feet. It was so tragic!”
Zhu Hai was at an angry young man. He used to be a tragic fight in Jiangyin. This time he met a veteran who had experienced it and was about to ask for details. But at this time, Company Commander Zhang Fei spoke.
"Everyone is ready, don't talk about it, listen to the lecture of Deputy Company Commander Zhuang!"
The deputy company commander is a young man in his twenties and looks like a scholar. At this time, he stood in front of everyone, cleared his throat, and said, "Hello everyone, I am your deputy company commander and your cultural instructor. Don't laugh, I'm not teaching you to study and take the exam for scholars, I'm here to teach you the simplest truth."
"Let me ask first, what did you do before joining the army?"
After hearing the deputy company commander's question, everyone said, "I am a farmer! Farmer!"
"I'll do some small business in Guangdong!"
"My family's third generation is a tenant from the Zhang Landlord's family. When the bandits came, the landlord Zhang was killed, and my father was also killed. I fled to Guangdong with my mother on my back!"
Everyone said that these new recruits were mainly farmers, which was inevitable. Zhu Hongsan's order was to recruit farmers, and some rogues could not enter the new army.
Deputy Company Commander Zhuang nodded and continued, "You are all assigned to the ground this time to join the army!"
"Yes, I've given twenty acres of land, and I've even gone to see it!"
"Let's think about who gave it to you?"
This question is a bit difficult. These farmers have no education, so they know who gave it to them.
"This land was sent to everyone by His Majesty the Emperor! His Majesty the Emperor knows that you are afraid of being poor. As long as you join the army, you will have twenty acres of land. This is the Yongye Land that will never be taxed. That is, you can leave it to your sons and grandchildren when you die. In addition to these meritorious service, there are other rewards!"
After saying that, the deputy company commander asked Zhang Fei behind him, "Company Commander Zhang, you have a lot of military achievements right now. How many places are there in your family?"
Zhang Fei thought for a while and said, "I have one great achievement and six small achievements. His Majesty the Emperor rewarded me with a total of 160 acres of land, but my children in my family are young and they all hired long-term jobs!"
These new recruits are all farmers, so they naturally have a natural sense of intimacy with the land. When they heard that Zhang Fei, a company commander, had more than 100 acres of land, they whispered to each other.
Deputy Company Commander Zhuang continued: "You see, as long as you train hard and strive to make meritorious service in the new army, you can obtain land like Company Commander Zhang!"
Someone among the recruits asked, "Sir, can we just train carefully?"
"Serious training is only one aspect, and on the other hand, you must be absolutely loyal to the emperor. Think about it, did your land, the military uniforms you wear, and the meat you eat every day give it to him?"
"That's true, but it's really good to eat meat every day. The landlords in our family can't eat meat!"
Seeing that the time was coming, Deputy Company Commander Zhuang said, "Yes, it was His Majesty the Emperor who brought us all this! Come on, everyone shouted to me! Thank you His Majesty the Emperor for giving me the land! Thank you His Majesty the Emperor for giving me clothes! Thank you His Majesty the Emperor for giving me a new life! I want to contribute my life to His Majesty the Emperor! His Majesty the Emperor's enemy is my enemy!"
Company Commander Zhuang finished speaking at the beginning, there were only three or two people among the recruits shouting in a scattered manner. At this time, some veterans among the recruits played a role and followed Company Commander Zhuang to shout loudly: "Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor for giving me the land! Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor for giving me clothes! Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor for giving me a new life! I want to contribute my life to Your Majesty the Emperor! Your Majesty the Emperor’s enemy is my enemy!"
Psychological research in later generations shows that humans actually have a herd mentality. When everyone around them thinks that this is right, you will doubt your decision even if you know it is wrong. Under the leadership of some veterans, these new recruits just cater to it sparsely at first, but the more they go, the louder the sound, and finally a huge wave formed in the entire army camp. These people didn’t know what they were calling, and they just felt that it was very satisfying to shout like this. Finally, after a long period of brainwashing, a subconscious mind had formed in their minds. Only when they were loyal to Emperor Zhu Hongsan could they live a good life.
Zhu Hai looked at the people around him, and everyone's eyes showed a kind of crazy look. Even the veterans blushed at the third son and Zhang Fei, shouting with all their strength. Zhu Hai was very excited. You must know that these new troops who fanatically support his father are not some hooligans. They are soldiers holding elite firearms. With their support, their father's status is absolutely unshakable for others.
Zhu Hai also made up his mind that there was only one way to go to inherit the throne, that is, to be a good prince honestly and gain the trust of the father. This is the right way. If he was a little careful in thinking about doing some evil ways, as long as the father ordered him, he would be torn apart by these fanatical supporters of the father.
The cultural class every night is an hour, and there are no entertainment projects in this era. After the cultural class, you have to prepare to go to bed.
Zhu Hai was lying on his bed, looking at the top of the tent, and couldn't help but think a lot in his heart. It was his first day in the army, but the things he had seen had exceeded the sum of the previous fifteen years.
I met the veteran Xiang Laosan, his blushing nephew Xiang Rong, the fat man Xu Youcai, the cold and cold scholar Wu Yuhou, the black-faced royal family member Zhu Zonghui, and himself and Sima, it was really interesting.
Thinking of this, Zhu Hai couldn't help but think of his father. When he left the palace, his father told him that reading thousands of books is worse than traveling thousands of miles. At first, he didn't agree with it, but now he knows that his father is saying it is too right. The world is really interesting and many things cannot be learned in books.
Zhu Hai thought about Ma Ning'er in Guangzhou, his fiancée. Before leaving, he also went to see her. Ning'er also gave him a jade pendant with the word "Ning" engraved on it, saying that it was her own belonging. Thinking of this, Zhu Hai couldn't help but touch the jade pendant on his neck with his hand, and the smooth feel was like stroking Ning'er's little hand.
Zhu Hai was also very tired this day. As he thought about it, he couldn't help but fall asleep. Zhu Hai was just asleep, and sat up on the bed next to him alone. He looked at Zhu Hai and thought to himself: "Why is this person laughing at me? Did he find my daughter?"
