Chapter 205 Joining the Army (3)

After Zhao Ping finished his meal, he saw that the other companions had not finished eating, so he did not wait any longer. It was not that he had no collective concept, but that there were other soldiers waiting in line for dinner behind him, so he could not take up seats for a long time and refused to let him go.

After walking out of the cafeteria, Zhao Ping recalled the road he came and walked towards the dormitory. He had just walked more than ten meters away, and someone said behind him: "Zhao Ping, Zhao Ping."

Zhao Ping was stunned for a moment, and looked at Xunsheng. It turned out to be two soldiers. They were both young, about seventeen or eighteen years old, while the young one was probably only fourteen or five or five years old. They looked similar in appearance, and they should be brothers. However, both of them looked very familiar, but Zhao Ping couldn't remember who they were.

At this time, the older soldier said, "Zhao Ping, Yuan Shu is really you. Do you still remember us? I am He Xin. This is my younger brother He Ping, a native of Hejiawan Village. Have you remembered it?"

After hearing their names reported, Zhao Ping immediately remembered that they were brothers, both from Hejiawan Village. When Zhao Weizhong was on a boat to escape from Tianjin to Shanghai to join Li Hongzhang, the crew hired in Hejiawan Village were hired to go to sea. However, after the ship sailed out of Bohai Bay, it was sunk by a ship of unknown origin. Fortunately, it was rescued when it met a time traveler, but most of the personnel were still killed, and only the two brothers were spared.

At that time, Zhao Ping was still a servant of the Zhao family. Out of responsibility for Zhao Weizhong's safety, he had some relationships with He Xin and He Ping brothers on the ship and had a few conversations, so he was considered acquaintance. However, later, He Xin and He Ping brothers led the army to land in Hejia Village, and they never met again. Unexpectedly, they would meet again in the military camp of overseas Chinese. It seemed that the two brothers also joined the army.

Although Zhao Ping, He Xin and He Ping brothers did not have any deep friendship, it was a happy thing to meet old friends in the military camp. So Zhao Ping hurriedly took a few steps, came to the two brothers, and said, "Why are you?"

He Xin also said: "Yes, I didn't expect you to join the army, but you still joined the navy."

Zhao Ping turned his head and said, "It was my uncle who asked me to join the army. Why did you two join the army?"

It turned out that after the time traveler landed in Hejiawan Village and defeated the attack of the Eight-Nation Alliance, some villagers expressed their willingness to join the time traveler's army, but at that time, the time traveler had not yet completely stabilized, so naturally they had no plans to recruit troops.

After the time travelers captured Tianjin, they were able to free up their hands to create their own army. Hejiawan Village was the place where the time travelers first landed, and the time travelers saved the whole village. Therefore, the people of Hejiawan Village were politically reliable. So after the time travelers mobilized, a total of 71 families in the village moved to Dagukou to settle down. There were only more than 100 families in the entire Hejiawan Village, and most of the villagers followed the time travelers. At the same time, there were fifty-three people willing to join the time travelers' army.

The villagers of Hejiawan Village are basically fishermen, and they all have rich experience in going out to sea, so all of these fifty-three people were selected into the navy. Of course, fishermen only rode wooden boats and went out to sea near the sea, but compared with others, it is still easier to get started, at least not dizzy at sea. In addition, their understanding of tides, ocean currents, wind and waves is stronger than that of ordinary people. However, the villagers of Hejiawan Village are basically illiterate and semi-illiterate, and all need literacy education.

He Xin is seventeen years old this year, and is as old as the age of not being strong enough to join the army. After joining the navy, he soon boarded the ship to serve. Now he serves as a lookout on the Sea Dragon torpedo boat, while He Ping is only fourteen years old. Although he is not as old as the army, firstly, their brothers are unwilling to separate, and secondly, these two brothers are also more popular with the soldiers, so He Ping was finally included in the navy. Of course, in the founding period of the army, all systems were not fully established, and such a drill-through thing was not uncommon. In the old time and space, there were many red ghosts who were eleven or 2 years old.

However, although the Navy accepted He Ping, it did not let him go on the ship to serve. Instead, it was on the shore-based logistics department to do some tricks. At the same time, it received literacy education and cultural knowledge with other soldiers. When he was eighteen years old, he would be officially assigned a position. Of course, in order to take care of the two brothers, a double dormitory was specially arranged for their brothers.

This is also a benefit for the officers and soldiers on the ship, because as long as the warship has time to work, even when parked in the port, the crew must live on the ship. Only during the warships are resting, maintenance, or maintenance, can the crew live in the soldiers' dormitory on the shore. In this era, the living environment on the warships is much worse than in the old days. After going to sea, soldiers have to take turns sleeping in hammocks, so they often arrange more comfortable dormitories on the shore so that crews can get enough rest on the shore.

After listening to the two brothers' talk, Zhao Ping also told their brothers about his experience of joining the army, and also asked about some questions about the army. Although the People's Army has been in the army for less than two months, He Xin and He Ping are the first batch of Navy soldiers in the People's Army. They can be called seniors in front of Zhao Ping. Because he was He Xin who has been on the ship and went to sea for training twice, he knew that what he knew was not comparable to Zhao Ping, who had only participated in the trial training for more than ten days. So he told Zhao Ping some things that should be paid attention to in the army, and also talked about some of his own experiences on the warship, which made Zhao Ping feel that he benefited a lot.

The three of them talked for more than half a time. After all, He Xin was a formal soldier and was still serving on the warship at this time, so he had to return to the ship to report, and He Ping also had to go back to work. So the three broke up and said goodbye and went back to their respective camps to rest.

After lunch, it should be the time for cultural learning. Cultural learning is taught by special instructors, and veterans go to their respective classrooms for education, while new recruits stay in the dormitory, with two instructors Xing Kuanyu and Wang Huming telling them about the rules and regulations in the military camp and the discipline and responsibilities of the People's Army.

The discipline of the People's Army basically follows the "three major disciplines and eight points of attention" of the People's Liberation Army in the old time and space. In fact, at this time, the new army of the Qing court attached great importance to military discipline, especially Yuan Shikai was training at the station, and the military discipline formulated was quite strict, not much worse than the military discipline of the People's Liberation Army in the old time and space. However, the difference between the People's Army and the army of this era is that it does not rigidly formulate military disciplines, and then use forced and punished means to make soldiers respect them.

Although the People's Army will also use coercion and punishment methods, the first thing is to explain to the soldiers clearly the reasons and principles for formulating these military disciplines. At the same time, it emphasizes that the People's Army is for the people and must not be enemies of the people. This is also the first political education for the new recruits. Finally, they will teach them to sing the song "Three Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention".

Although the recruits had some feelings, they didn't have much thought, because according to the instructor's law, they were indeed from the masses of the people. The People's Army is an army that defends the masses of the people, so they naturally cannot bully the people. And they didn't expect that the military discipline could be sang as a song. The song was not difficult, and soon all the recruits learned it, and they found it quite interesting.

But Zhao Ping's feelings are different from other new recruits. Although Zhao Ping is Zhao Weizhong's family, if divided by class, he obviously does not belong to the general public. In addition, Zhao Ping had some contact with the army of this era. The Beiyang Navy at the beginning had a very serious military discipline, but the first thing he emphasized was that loyalty to the Qing Dynasty and the court, and the army could not disturb the people. He had never come from the general public. Therefore, the purpose of protecting the general public was to protect the general public. Although the military discipline of the People's Army also had the protection of national sovereignty and territory, the words did not mention the Qing Dynasty. Zhao Ping felt a little uncomfortable.

This is not how loyal Zhao Ping was to the Qing court, but that Zhao Ping was a person with deep relationship with the Qing court and was used to putting himself in the position of the Qing court to think about problems. Therefore, Zhao Ping once again realized that overseas Chinese were indeed very different from the Qing court.

After talking about this, more than a half hours passed, and it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon. The soldiers who received cultural education returned to the dormitory and began afternoon training.

Generally, the training of the army is physically training in the morning, and the training of military skills is usually carried out in the afternoon. Although the navy is not an army and the chance of going directly to the battlefield is not high, it also requires some basic military skills training, such as disassembling and assembly of firearms, shooting, dropping bullets, climbing off-road, fighting, swimming, rowing, etc. After all, the previous group of soldiers only took five days first, and they are actually recruits. Therefore, they have not yet received live-fire shooting and fighting training, and they are mainly climbing, cross-country, swimming, etc.

These events were done during trial training, and new recruits could also participate. So all the soldiers in a dormitory came to the training ground, and the first group of soldiers came to conduct formal training, and Zhao Ping and other group of new recruits also followed and experienced formal naval training.

Although Zhao Ping's group of new soldiers participated in the trial training, the intensity of the trial training cannot be compared with formal training. Although the training volume of this group of new soldiers is lower than the normal training volume, it is also larger than the trial training volume. By the last few events, more than half of the soldiers were trained, and other people who were still strong also gritted their teeth and refused to force themselves. After all, the previous group of soldiers had been undergoing five days of training, and the training volume gradually increased, and they adapted to the current training intensity. Therefore, after the training was over, they did not react much.

Of course, the two instructors intentionally made such training arrangements, because the trial files of each soldier have been transferred to the army, so the training volume of these recruits is clear in mind, but they intend to increase the training volume of the recruits. One is to give these recruits a warning to let them know that formal training and trial training are completely different; the other is to understand the will and limits of the recruits. After all, the training volume has not increased much. Those who can persist must either have good physical fitness or strong will. These are things to pay attention to in previous training.
