On the training ground, the phalanx lined up by the officers and men of the new army was neat and tidy, and they stood on the green grass like a huge piece of tofu.

Zhe Zhao raised his eyes and saw that the captain who led the team quickly ran to the front of the queue of the new army, and shouted: "All the soldiers of the new army, report the number neatly!" ”

At the command of the first row, the tall new pawn in the first row of the queue turned his head to the left as if he had been beaten by electricity and shouted: "One ......"

Immediately afterwards, the second new pawn, the third new pawn and the last one reported the number like a cloud of peers: "Two...... Three...... Four...... Fifty...... Hundred. ”

Zhi Zhao looked a little unclear and asked, "General Bai, what are they doing?" ”

Bai Yifei explained with a smile: "If you go back to the Grand Governor, this is a report, which is used to facilitate the calculation of the number of people. ”

Zhi Zhao nodded understandingly, and did not continue to ask, but watched patiently.

At this time, the leading lieutenant turned around, trotted to Cui Wenqing's side, raised his right hand and pointed straight to his forehead and temple, as if he had performed a rather strange etiquette, and said clearly: "Chief Instructor Cui, the new army should be 2,000 people to participate in the exercise, but it is actually 2,000 people, and after the assembly, please instruct." ”

Zhe Zhao's eyes lit up when he heard it, and when he looked carefully, sure enough, there were no more, no less, just twenty rows, and the number of one hundred was reported according to the time, and there were two thousand people who were full.

Jiang Ju, the commander of the Left Army, high-fived and laughed: "Oh, this method of counting the number of people is easy to use, and it is much more convenient than the method we use now. ”

Huang Yao, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese army, said with a smile: "Yes, if there is an inventory of 2,000 new troops, in terms of the method of counting the number of soldiers, I am afraid that it will take a long time, and Aunt Cui's method only takes a moment, and it is indeed very convenient to count the number of people." After that, he turned his head to Bai Yifei and asked, "General Bai, what is this method called?" ”

Today, Bai Yifei was already in the limelight in front of his colleagues, and replied with a smile: "This method is called neat reporting, the key is to queue neatly, otherwise it will not work." ”

At this time, Zhi Zhao had already seen the clues, and said with his head bowed: "General Bai is right, but look at the new army columns, between columns and rows, between rows, the new soldiers are neatly arranged and right, one is not much, one is not many, it can be said that it is horizontal to the end, vertical to the edge, so the number of people can be counted so quickly." ”

Bai Yifei nodded and said, "Of course, the word neatness is also the essence of queue training." ”

All the generals nodded as if they were taught, and then looked at the venue, but saw Cui Wenqing making the same gesture to the leading captain, and said clearly: "The new military exercise has officially begun, return to the team!" ”

"No!" The leading lieutenant deserved a shout and ran back to the front of the military formation.

On the other hand, Cui Wenqing turned around and boarded the ascending cloud car that had been prepared for a long time, and the six strong supporting troops worked together to twist the thick turntable, only to hear a "creak" sound, and a wooden platform carried Cui Wenqing and the flag bearer to rise, and soon rose to the top of the cloud car, which was about 30 zhang from the ground, as if standing on a hundred-foot building looking down on the entire new army array.

After standing still, Cui Wenqing's forehead was already dripping with fine sweat, but he was concerned about the military exercise, but he was suddenly unaware, and ordered word by word with a stiff face: "Fellow soldiers of the new army, now the general will announce that the military exercise of the new army of the former army has officially begun, all of them have it, listen to my orders!" Speaking of this, his voice suddenly rose to a higher level, "Tidy up!" ”

The generals who were observing on the high platform were confused, and suddenly saw that the new army formation, which had not been moving at all, suddenly moved.

To be precise, it is as if the calm lake water suddenly set off a whole wave, and the ingenious transformation from static to dynamic brought a sensory enjoyment of strength and beauty to the observing generals, which made the captains and generals praise more than once.

Zhi Zhao also sighed for a while, and cleverly described the case with heavy hands: "There is a saying in the art of war: quiet as a virgin, moving as a rabbit." The officers and men of the New Army are worthy of this, and it is really good. ”

Looking at the military formation again, the two thousand soldiers of the new army raised their hands forward in unison, and suddenly held on to the cowhide soft helmets they were wearing.

Someone on the high platform didn't know why, and said in surprise: "What are you doing?" ”

Bai Yifei replied with a smile: "This is to tidy up your clothes, and you want to tidy up your appearance." When the soldiers held their helmets, they put their crooked helmets straight. ”

The voice fell, and it was all sudden.

After finishing the helmets, all the new soldiers arranged their breastplates in an orderly manner, and finally the cowhide belt worn around their waists, and then they all stood solemnly and upright, and they were just standing upright.

Cui Wenqing on the cloud car bowed his head slightly, obviously satisfied with the new army's dress.

He cleared his throat and said in a straight voice: "The first content of the queue training, stand up and take a break." All of them, take a break! ”

At the sound of the command, the flag bearer standing behind him suddenly waved the flag of order.

The 2,000 new troops did not hesitate, and all of them stretched out their right feet as if they were electrocuted.

Immediately afterwards, Cui Wenqing ordered in a loud voice: "Lizheng!" ”

When the flag waved, the two thousand new troops were attacked at the same time, and there was still no messiness.

Zhi Zhaomei's eyes were blazing, and she opened her mouth to ask: "Why do you stand up and take a break?" ”

Bai Yifei replied: "The Metropolitan Governor, the so-called rest refers to a queue action or military command command in the queue action of a single soldier, ordering the team or individual to change from a standing posture to a resting posture. ”

"As for standing upright, it is the basic posture of the soldiers, and it is also the basis of the queue action, which is: the heels are close together and aligned, and the toes of the feet are separated outward; Keep your legs straight; The lower abdomen is slightly retracted, and the chest is naturally raised; The upper body is upright and slightly leaning forward; The shoulders should be flat and slightly stretched back; The arms hang down naturally, the fingers are brought together and naturally slightly flexed, the tip of the thumb is attached to the second segment of the index finger, and the middle finger is attached to the middle of the thigh; The head should be straight, the neck should be straight, the mouth should be closed, the chin should be slightly retracted, and the eyes should be level forward. ”

Huang Yao couldn't help but admire: "It's a good standing, it's really upright like a pine." ”

Bai Yifei smiled and said: "Yes, don't hide it from the Governor and the generals, when the training queue was first held, Chief Coach Cui asked all the soldiers of the new army to stand in this military posture under the scorching sun, and hold on motionless for an hour every day, and at first many soldiers fainted because they couldn't bear it. ”

Pan Li, the commander of the Hou Army, was a little puzzled and asked: "It's just standing for an hour, although it is under the scorching sun, what is the difficulty?" ”

Bai Yifei glanced at him and sneered: "What's so difficult? Otherwise, when the military exercise is over, please try it for yourself? ”

Pan Li was about to open his mouth to promise, but he said to the generals: "Indeed, it is not difficult to fight under the scorching sun for an hour, but the difficulty is that you must always maintain the military posture that General Bai just said, which is the most difficult part. ”

Bai Yifei nodded and said: "The Metropolitan Governor is right, the so-called military posture standing, but you must not stand there without moving, but you must have the strength of the whole body to maintain the military posture." ”

Hearing this, the generals woke up and were amazed again.
