"Get up, get up, don't sleep! Hurry up! ”

Tian Wei and Wang Yishou shouted, the gong in their hands clanged, and walked into the grass fence where the displaced people were temporarily sheltering, urging them to get up quickly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, it was almost the middle of the hour (6 o'clock in the morning), and a faint trace of fish belly white was rolling in the distant sky, and the morning light was faint, and the entire land of western Liaoning was vaguely revealed.

At the urging of the two, the homeless people quickly got up, put on their shoes, and then came to a gentle clearing outside the pier together.

The displaced people who were crowded into several rows next to each other looked at Li Xiao, who was standing straight and upright with a solemn expression on the small dirt slope in front of them with a confused and frightened look.

Wu Liang walked over to Li Xiao and whispered a few times, Li Xiao nodded and asked him to announce the specific arrangements.

With a solemn and serious look on his face, Wu Liang faced the displaced people and loudly announced the rules that everyone in the pier must abide by in the future.

These are a few rules that Li Xiao roughly drafted after discussing with Wu Liang, Tian Wei, and Wang Yishou last night, and required all personnel in the pier to abide by them.

1. Everyone should get up in the middle of the hour and go to bed in the middle of the day. (Wake up at 6 a.m. and go to bed at 8 p.m.)

2. Everyone must be self-disciplined, train hard, work actively, strictly prohibit disobeying commands, and strictly prohibit cutting corners and being lazy.

3. Everyone must behave properly, and no stealing or fighting.

4. If there is any dispute, you must report it to Li Xiao or Wu Liang and others, and it will be resolved by the superior tribunal.

After Wu Liang finished saying the above articles, he emphasized in an accentuated tone: "The above articles, everyone in the pier must abide by them, and if anyone commits a crime, they will be severely punished." Now tell you, don't say it unpredictably. ”

When he saw the awe-inspiring and timid look on the faces of the homeless people in front of him, Wu Liang felt quite comfortable in his heart.

In fact, yesterday he still had some doubts in his heart about Li Xiao's immediately formulating the rules for life in the dun, and he felt that it would be too early. But now Wu Liang believes that Li Xiao's approach is very necessary, because if the management of these displaced people who are accustomed to a casual life is relaxed at the beginning, then there will definitely be many problems in the future, and it will be even more difficult to manage.

Originally, these regulations were to be told to these displaced people yesterday, but because they were exhausted from the long journey, Li Xiao decided to officially announce them to them this morning.

At the same time, last night, Li Xiao also preliminarily determined the responsibilities of the leaders, Wu Liang was appointed as the post of praise painting before the army, Tian Wei was appointed as the captain of the heavy cavalry, and Wang Yishou was appointed as the captain of the light cavalry, and the monthly salary of each person was also doubled to 5 taels of silver.

Wu Liang stepped aside, Tian Wei walked to the middle, and continued to shout to the homeless: "Below, except for the soldiers whose names I read remain, the rest of the people will follow Wu Zan's painting into the pier and accept the relevant arrangements. ”

Soon, only the 25 displaced soldiers remained in the clearing, and the other families of the displaced people followed Wu Liang into the pier.

According to the plan discussed yesterday, Wu Liang divided the 22 strong women into two teams, each team of 11 people, and selected a healthy woman as the leader, one of which was responsible for the daily kitchen food, and the other team was responsible for cleaning and cleaning inside and outside the pier, and cleaning up the sundries.

Tian Wei and the others breathed a sigh of relief, and finally they didn't have to clean up by themselves every day. But despite this, Li Xiao still asked all the soldiers to wash their own clothes and other matters, even if they had family members, they couldn't wash them on their behalf. Li Xiao is determined to strengthen and maintain this habit, after all, if the troops go out to fight in the future, it is impossible to bring their family members with them, and it is very important to maintain good personal hygiene habits.

The rest of the old and weak were arranged by Wu Liang to see whether they would cooperate with the plasterers who were building the houses to do small work, or cooperate with the cleaning team to do hygiene.

Obviously, the workload of the families of these soldiers is very easy now, because there is no need for so many people to do things. But Li Xiao didn't want them to be idle in vain, even if there were no more work arrangements for the time being, and let them develop the habit of self-reliance by doing things. Under him, idlers with nothing to do are never allowed, unless they are people who have completely lost the ability to work, otherwise, Li Xiao's precious food will not be eaten in vain.

After a short time, the steamed buns and dough cakes in the kitchen were steamed, and Li Xiao gave each soldier's family a black bread cake for breakfast, and each soldier gave two large white buns with meat filling.

When each soldier was given two large, thick white flour buns filled with fragrant fresh pork, everyone had a look of surprise and disbelief on their faces.

We had meat to eat!

Unexpectedly, after coming to this remote mound, there is such a beautiful thing as eating meat!

Eating meat, for these homeless soldiers, is no different from a distant and ethereal legend.

But now, the fragrant and delicious juicy pork in the steamed bun clearly tells me that this is not a dream, but a real reality.

Many soldiers shed tears silently, and some even cried so much that it was almost impossible to control themselves.

Every soldier is ruthless in his heart, Lord Li Baihu is so kind to us, our cheap life will be sold to Lord Li!

Isn't it like a pig or a dog to receive such a favor without knowing how to repay it?

Li Xiao smiled and greeted each soldier with his grateful gaze, and then gave them a look of trust and encouragement.

After breakfast, the training officially began.

Li Xiao asked 8 sentinels, including Tian Wei and Wang Yishou, to form a mixed team with the 25 homeless people. And told them that from now on, they should start training again according to Li Xiao's own methods.

Tian Wei and the others muttered a little in their hearts, but seeing Li Xiao's serious expression, none of these veteran sentries who followed Li Xiao from Zhongtun would dare to object.

Looking at the 33 candidates for soldiers standing silently in front of him, Li Xiao, who was standing with a military stick at his waist, had a passionate look on his face, and he shouted loudly to the soldiers: "Everyone, from today on, you are all part of my Li Xiao's army!" I, Li Xiao, ask you not to be afraid of hardships, train hard, and practice solid skills. Now the world is not peaceful, if you practice well, you can protect your family, protect the people, and make meritorious contributions to the country and fight for yourself! In the future, if there is a capture, I, Li Xiao, will not hesitate to reward him! However, if someone is afraid of the war and violates the military law, I, Li Xiao, will definitely be severely punished, beheaded myself, and exiled by my family!"

Li Xiao's words of both grace and power made every soldier shudder in their hearts when they looked forward to their future exploits.

For the soldiers, Li Xiao has stricter requirements and discipline for them, but now that everything has just begun, military law and military discipline have not been fully formulated, Li Xiao's opening speech can somewhat make these soldiers composed of scattered and homeless people wake up and restrain themselves.

Next, Li Xiao first began the most basic training in standing military posture.

Li Xiao asked the soldiers to line up in two rows, the soldiers had never received such training, and the two rows stood crookedly and tightly. Many of the soldiers had a look of shame on their faces, and they themselves felt a little disorganized. But fortunately, Li Xiao didn't reprimand them now.

In his previous life, Li Xiao received military training in college, and he still remembered the teaching of the instructor at that time, he remembered that these college students were the same at the beginning, the team was extremely chaotic, but the instructor just had a way, he did not deliberately ask them to immediately discharge how good the formation and array were, but let each of them start training from the military posture.

Li Xiao remembered the instructor's specific requirements for standing posture at that time, and in retrospect, the instructor's shouting orders were still as if they were in front of him.

"Everybody pay attention, keep your heels together, your toes about half a step apart. The legs are straight, the lower abdomen is slightly retracted, the upper body is straight, and the body is slightly leaning forward. The arms hang down and are naturally straightened. The thumb is attached to the second segment of the index finger and the middle finger is attached to the seam of the trousers. The head should be straight, the neck should be straight, the jaw should be slightly retracted, and the eyes should be level with the front. Yes, exactly. ”

Li Xiao made an example by himself and stood in a standard military posture.

Li Xiao explained the specific action requirements to the soldiers in as simple and understandable language as possible, of course, he did not speak as specifically as the instructor, because the instructor at that time was teaching a group of college students, and he was facing a group of standard illiterates.

The soldiers tried to imitate his movements, but the results were still terrible. Including Tian Wei, Wang Yishou and other old sentinels, the performance was unsatisfactory.

When the women of the cleaning team who passed by saw their funny and ridiculous appearance, they couldn't help but cover their mouths and snicker.

As an instructor, Li Xiao did not show irritability, he looked focused and carefully corrected them one by one.

"Stand up straight, don't shake your legs, look ahead!"

"Don't hold your belly up, keep your chest up, yes, that's all."

"Don't tilt your head, keep it straight."

"Put your hands on the hem of your pants, yes, remember."

Some people were really slow to react, and Li Xiao repeated the teaching several times before he could stand up, so he unceremoniously slammed this person with a military stick a few times, so that these people could remember the pain for a long time.

It is also strange to say that after being beaten like this, the military posture of the beaten person seems to have improved immediately. The reaction of those soldiers to being beaten was to touch their heads with embarrassment, show a self-deprecating smile, and then try to correct it.

In fact, in the training of the Ming army, all kinds of punishment measures are very harsh, for example, in the elite Qi family army, if the sergeants are not well trained, those cruel and terrible punishment tricks, such as cutting off ears, cutting noses, inserting arrows into the camp, etc., are not a joke.

It's just that now the training of the Ming army in the guard center has been dealt with, and of course these harsh training methods of the Qi family army have long been abolished.

Li Xiao canceled these cruel and inhumane punishment methods, and he was thinking that in the future, when the number of trainees will be expanded, rules must be formulated, and when punishing, at most they can only be disciplined by beating military sticks, and they cannot use the traditional Ming army's punishment methods that mutilate the bodies of soldiers.

In view of the fact that the bodies of these soldiers did not fully recover, Li Xiao asked these soldiers to stop standing in a military posture every half an hour, and after resting for about ten minutes, they began to stand again.

On the empty field, Li Xiao silently stared at the soldiers in front of him who were also standing silently, and a faint smile gradually appeared on his face.

When it was time to eat at noon, Li Xiao announced the end of the morning's training.

The intensity of this training is indeed very great for these displaced soldiers who are still in the recovery stage. Many of the soldiers were so tired that their legs were stiff and their faces were pale. Each soldier found his legs as heavy as lead, and he did not listen to the call. A few others trembled and tried to walk with their legs open, but they fell to the ground.

Li Xiao watched silently, but had no intention of reducing the intensity of training.

Because time is running out, Li Xiao has too many enemies to fight, whether it is the Jurchen Tartars in the north or the rogues in the mainland who will be encountered in the future, they will not give him too much time for free development, in such an environment full of strong enemies, Li Xiao has no reason to relax and relax.

Moreover, if a soldier can't even carry the most ordinary standing posture and goes into battle to kill the enemy, don't talk about it at all.

Of course, the hard training of the soldiers can be compensated for by a good meal that is a head above the others.

At noon, the soldiers' meal consisted of a large bowl of noodles cooked with hot meat sauce, and each soldier had an excellent appetite and quickly swept away.

During the afternoon training, Li Xiao found that the soldiers had a lot more concentration and hard work than in the morning.

Li Xiao sighed, the combination of grace and power, and the training method of rewarding hard work is still more convincing in the end.

Soon, by the end of the afternoon training, everyone's military posture was much better than in the morning.

Many of the soldiers began to have a confident look on their faces, and they could feel their real progress. And Tian Wei, Wang Yishou and other old sentinels with military foundations, performed much better than these homeless soldiers.

Li Xiao secretly rejoiced in his heart: After a few more days of training like this, these soldiers will definitely be able to stand up to the standard military posture.

In the evening, the day's training plan was completed.

The soldiers lined up, led by Tian Wei and Wang Yishou to bathe in the river and stream. After taking a bath, they sat in the open space according to the position of the formation during training, waiting for dinner.

Li Xiao deliberately created a habit of maintaining collective action anytime and anywhere, hoping to transplant the idea of collectivism into the depths of every soldier's heart in a subtle way, and never waver. When Bi Jian arrived on the battlefield, compared with individual force, collective cooperation and unity are the real strength and the key to victory or defeat.

At this dinner, each soldier also got the same meat bun as in the morning, but the meat in it was reduced a lot, after all, he only rested at night, and there was no physical exertion.

Li Xiao fulfilled his promise to let each soldier eat three taels of meat and two catties of rice grain every day.

In the middle of the hour, after another gong sounded "Dangdang", there was silence in the grass enclosure where the displaced people temporarily lived.

The moon is bright and the stars are scarce, Li Xiao stands alone on the observation hall, looking around, reckless and vast, distant mountains, villages, fields, and the coast that seems to be on the horizon in the distance, all of them are like small and distant existences. The cool breeze is blowing, and the moonlight is still there, which makes people feel refreshed and refreshed.

Perhaps, in a few days, when these homeless people get used to life in the mound, they should visit someone.

Li Xiao was sure that this person should be able to help him with some practical help.

This person is the general Zu Dabi.
