"Yes, it's the standard!"

Yang Feng said solemnly.

"What is a standard? In Jiangningwei, the training period for recruits is three months, and the content of these three months of training is mainly queue and discipline, and does not involve specific tactical training. The aim was to transform the recruits from a casual civilian into a soldier who obeyed military discipline and had basic qualities. And these military men should seem to have one of the most basic qualities, which is obedience...... Absolute obedience, that's what I'm talking about, you know? ”

"Obedience...... Absolute obedience! Lu Xiangsheng muttered to himself, a feeling was slowly forming in his heart, and Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu on the side were quite moved on their faces, compared to Lu Xiangsheng, they were all generals who were used to leading soldiers, Yang Feng's words could naturally give him a greater touch.

After pondering Yang Feng's words for a while, Lu Xiangsheng continued to ask: "Dare to ask Uncle, among the recruits, there are those who have the most strength and those who have little strength, some of whom are proficient in martial arts before becoming soldiers, and some of whom can only farm, if we train them to the same standard, is this appropriate?" Wouldn't that be a pity? It is important to know that warriors with strong martial arts are rare. ”

Yang Feng waved his hand and said without hesitation: "In the newly built Beijing camp, we all have to replace it with a new type of firearm, and in front of firearms, personal bravery has been reduced to a secondary position. Therefore, it does not matter whether the soldiers are strong in martial arts or not, what matters is whether they have a strong physique and a brave and fearless heart. ”

"Is it inappropriate for all the firearms in the Beijing camp to be used, you must know that the Beijing camp is ......" Lu Xiangsheng asked Yang Feng to answer, and after a while, even Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu joined in the question, and Yang Feng also seemed very patient to answer one by one. You must know that these three people are his most important assistants in rebuilding the Beijing camp, so it is very important to reach a tacit understanding with them and let them understand their ideas and intentions for army building.

As more than a month passed, Yang Feng gradually subsided the turmoil of the original dismissal of most of the people in the Beijing camp, and during this period, many people came to Zhu Youxiao to intercede, and some people even came up with an idea for Zhu Youxiao, hoping that he would set up another army for the soldiers and officers of the Beijing camp who had been dismissed, to put it bluntly, he hoped that Zhu Youxiao would raise these people again.

For the person who came up with this idea, Zhu Youxiao was furious on the spot, he paraphrased Yang Feng's words, if these people still want to receive the money issued by the imperial court, then they have to pick up the sword and gun and say that Liaodong will fight with the Tartars, and then say, if you don't even have the courage to fight with the Tartars, you will still be a soldier, and the Ming Dynasty will not have the money to support idlers. Zhu Youxiao's words made the intercessor speechless, and he could only leave in disgrace.

At the same time, the recruitment of new recruits is also coming to an end, and all 30,000 recruits have been stationed in the military camp in Dongzhimen.

The school field of Dongzhimen is very large, enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people to perform here, but the dormitory is a little insufficient, because the Beijing camp in the past is also divided into several places to station, and now there are so many recruits pouring in, the dormitory naturally becomes tense, for this problem Yang Feng had to urgently buy a large number of tents from the modern society to deal with emergencies, when Lu Xiangsheng and the three entered the barracks, what they saw was a large row of dense tents.

As soon as they entered the barracks, they saw that the school field was densely packed with soldiers, all wearing green uniforms and wearing strange shoes (liberation shoes) on their feet, and these people were lining up on the school field to listen to orders for platoon training.

Looking at the green military uniforms on these soldiers, Lu Xiangsheng frowned slightly and said to a general who led them in beside him: "I am still in the Ming Dynasty, so the military uniforms of the Ming Dynasty are all red, why are the uniforms of these soldiers all green?" Moreover, they are not wearing the mandarin duck jackets of the Ming Dynasty, so it is not good to change the military system without permission. ”

"That the Admiral may know." The general manager replied neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Lord Admiral Qiqi, these green military uniforms were originally just the military uniforms of the Jiangning Army. Some time ago, when His Majesty ordered the reorganization of the Beijing camp, the uncle also asked His Majesty whether he still used the mandarin duck battle jacket as a military uniform, but His Majesty vetoed it.

His Majesty said that since it is to establish a new Beijing camp, it is natural to have a new atmosphere, and besides, the military uniforms of the Jiangning Army are very good-looking, and it is good to use the military uniforms of the Jiangning Army, so the recruits in the Beijing Camp are wearing the same military uniforms as the Jiangning Army. Besides, the uncle also said that the new construction of Beijing camp requires too much silver for phone bills, so if you can save a little, you can save a little, and now it takes at least eight dollars of silver to make a mandarin duck jacket, and a green military uniform only needs four dollars of silver, why should he buy expensive ones? ”

Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but be speechless, okay...... The reason was so powerful that he was speechless.

"One...... One-two-one...... One, two, three, four......"

"One, two, three...... Four ......"

The sound of passwords kept coming from the school field, and Lu Xiangsheng and the three of them saw that the recruits were walking in a queue, they were in a team of fifty, and next to each team of recruits was an officer called an instructor shouting the password. In Lu Xiangsheng's view, they could see the difference between a recruit and a veteran at a glance.

The faces of those recruits were also quite clumsy, and there was still a little nervous look on their faces, but on the other hand, the instructors who shouted orders around them looked calm and calm, and the iron-blooded aura of a veteran of a hundred battles on their faces could not be erased.

After walking for a while, listening to the constant sound of passwords on the school ground, Lu Xiangsheng pointed to the recruits who were walking in line in the sound of passwords and asked, "Do these recruits have to complete three months of training before they can be assigned to the Dao 5 Military Battalion, the 3000 Battalion and the Shenji Battalion?" ”

"Exactly!" Mr. Bai nodded: "This is the rule set by the uncle, and it is also the tradition of our Jiangning Army." Uncle said that these recruits were still ordinary people a month ago, and if they want to get rid of the loose aura on their bodies, they must pass this level, otherwise they can't be called soldiers. Don't look at the fact that they are now lined up to walk all day long, but it is precisely through the action that they realize that they are no longer a civilian, but a real soldier. ”

"Real soldiers?" Lu Xiangsheng and the three of them listened to the words of this Bai Zong, and couldn't help but recall the words that Yang Feng said when he discussed with them yesterday.

After a while, Yang Guozhu suddenly sighed and said, "Lord Lu and Lord Hu, although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that Jiang Ningbo has left us far behind in terms of governing the army. Although I don't know why Jiang Ningbo transferred us and the other three to assist him, what this governor wants to say is that if we can keep up with the footsteps of Ningbo in the future, we must catch up. So I decided to train with this group of recruits for a few months, otherwise after three months, we might not be as good as these recruits on the military plane, and if that is the case, we will be embarrassed. ”

"Lord Yang has a point!" Hu Dawei also nodded again and again with deep feelings.

Although Lu Xiangsheng didn't speak, there was a strong sense of competitiveness in his eyes, and his feelings for Yang Feng and Lu Xiangsheng were actually a little complicated. On the one hand, he was a little puzzled why Yang Feng transferred him, a person he had never met, to Beijing to help him, and he was grateful to Yang Feng in his heart for giving him this opportunity, but out of the pride of the literati and Yang Feng's reputation in the civil official group, Lu Xiangsheng was a little reluctant to admit that Yang Feng was stronger than him, and this contradictory heart also led to him not knowing what attitude to use to face Yang Feng.

"Just let me see what is so powerful about the Jiangning Army you built? When I have learned all the methods of your military training, I will let you know that literati can also fight on the battlefield. Listening to the constant sound of passwords around him, Lu Xiangsheng thought to himself......

Lu Xiangsheng is a man who does what he says, and that afternoon, he, Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei lived in the recruit camp, and told the instructors of the recruit camp to train them like recruits. They just thought they were ready to endure hardships, and they encountered their first problem as soon as they moved into the recruit dormitory.

"What...... Practice folding quilts? And to fold it like this? ”

Lu Xiangsheng looked at the quilt in front of him, which was folded in a boxy shape like tofu, and suddenly felt like thunder. He could swear he had never seen a quilt folded so flat in his life. In fact, it was not only him, but Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu standing next to him were also dumbfounded.

"You really folded this quilt?" Hu Dawei gently touched the quilt on the bed with some surprise, and his eyes were full of suspicion.

"Of course, if the adults don't believe it, you can show the adults a demonstration of the humble position." Mr. Bai on the side smiled slightly, shook off the quilt on the bed casually, and then began to fold the quilt one by one in front of the three of them, and a few minutes later, a quilt folded in a square shape appeared in front of the three of them.

Seeing that an ordinary quilt had turned into a neat and angular tofu block in front of them, Lu Xiangsheng had an unclear feeling for the first time.

After the quilt was folded, the Bai Zong smiled and said to the three people: "Three adults, the humble position has been demonstrated for the three adults, now please ask the three adults to try it." ”

"Good...... Try it, just try it. ”

Hu Dawei strode to his bed, grabbed the quilt on the bed and began to fold it. The result was not surprising, a good quilt was folded into a ball by him, and it seemed to be piled together, and there was nothing to see the shape.

Looking at the results of his hard work for a long time, Hu Dawei's somewhat dark face turned purple sauce, he couldn't believe that he had worked hard for a long time to make such a thing, looking at the Bai general manager who seemed to be smiling at him, his forehead was almost beads of sweat, which was a little dejected and said to Yang Guozhu and Lu Xiangsheng: "Two adults, you guys come and try it!" ”

Yang Guozhu and Lu Xiangsheng also stepped forward to fold the quilt respectively, but the result was still very disappointing to them, this quilt seemed to have a grudge against them, they were busy for a long time but they couldn't fold the boxy effect, and finally the three of them stared at each other, stunned and speechless.

Like the three of them, Yang Guozhu and Lu Xiangsheng's family conditions are good, they have never folded quilts since they were children, let alone after becoming officials all these years. Even Hu Dawei, who was born as a pawn, is the same, after being an official for so many years, he has long been accustomed to leaving everything to his subordinates to do, and now it is really difficult for them to let them do such things as folding quilts.

Although Lu Xiangsheng's personality is not good at pandering, his IQ is not low, otherwise it would be impossible to be admitted to the Jinshi, and he also noticed the smiling face on the face of Mr. Bai on the side, and immediately realized that this was likely to be the other party's disadvantage.

Lu Xiangsheng was a little annoyed in his heart at first, but when he thought about it, he suppressed this emotion, and he asked the Bai Zong sincerely: "Dare to ask Lin Baihu, what is the trick of this stack of quilts, can you tell this official." ”

"Absolutely." A look of surprise flashed in the eyes of this hundred households surnamed Lin.

In his opinion, these three guys who came out of nowhere were reused by their uncle as soon as they came and served as the commander of the Beijing camp, and these people who had fought with the Manchu Tartars in blood had to be subservient to them, which made him very unconvinced, although the Jiangning army was strict, he didn't dare to provoke these three people openly, but it was still okay to give them some eye medicine secretly. However, seeing that Lu Xiangsheng was able to put down the shelf and humbly ask for advice, this also gave him a sense of accomplishment.

Seeing Lu Xiangsheng put down the shelf and ask for advice, Lin Baizong didn't take it seriously, he picked up the quilt and shook it and said to the three of them: "Three adults, this stack of quilts also has a knack for it." Folding quilts pays attention to three-point stacking and seven-point repair. Whether the quilt is folded well or not depends largely on how to repair it later. When it comes to "faces", it must be flat, no folds, no bumps or depressions, and a 90-degree ...... between faces."

Lin Baizong explained, and Lu Xiangsheng and the three nodded slowly, in fact, the trick of folding the quilt is very simple, they will understand the truth after a while, and the rest is to rely on practice, but this is not something that can be done overnight, this is a process where practice makes perfect.

So, starting from folding quilts, Lu Xiangsheng and the three began their "recruit" career.

And all this can't be hidden from Yang Feng, in fact, Lu Xiangsheng and the three asked to start training from recruits, Yang Feng knew it at the beginning, but he didn't stop it, but was very satisfied with the actions of the three, and was willing to start from the first semester when he realized his own shortcomings, which proved that he didn't misunderstand them, otherwise if they were arrogant and put on the role of admiral at the beginning, then Yang Feng really doubted whether he was looking at the wrong person.

The days passed like this, Lu Xiangsheng and the three began to gradually integrate into the recruit training, everything is developing in a good direction, the days passed day by day, and the three months passed quickly, in these three months, Lu Xiangsheng and the three of them can be said to have a lot of feelings, and they gradually have a further understanding of the current world-famous Jiangning army.
