Chapter 47
Regardless of whether the ten commanders of the Second Corps accepted Tang Yin's ideas, no one wanted to be accused of dereliction of duty. The training for new recruits was extremely harsh, almost the latest chapter of the devil's training.
In the morning, they exercise their physical fitness, in the morning they train fighting skills, and in the afternoon they train on horseback riding or archery. Even in the evening, they also conduct square formation training and formation evolution training. Almost the whole day is spent in rigorous and rigorous training. During the training, how could the recruits bear such intensity?
In three days, about 40% of the 10,000 recruits quit, and only 6,000 persisted. Each captain reported the situation to Tang Yin, and he was no exception. His principle was survival of the fittest. Since some people couldn't stand it, he wouldn't force it. He approached Wu Mei and asked her for new recruits. Of course the latter agreed.
After adding new soldiers, three days later, 2,000 people still left. Tang Yin went to Wu Mei again to ask for new soldiers to fill the vacancy. Wu Mei was also surprised this time. She didn't know what Tang Yin was doing, and why the soldiers under his command retreated so many and so quickly.
But she understood Tang Yin's temper, so she didn't ask any more questions and sent him another two thousand new soldiers.
But within two days, Tang Yin came again, and this time he asked 800 new soldiers to fill the vacancy.
This was repeated until Wu Mei almost became numb in the end. As long as she saw Tang Yin coming to find her, she would take the initiative to ask if Tang Yin was looking for someone again without him having to say anything.
This situation was not relieved until half a month later.
Tang Yin was quite satisfied with the results of the half-month training. He had been observing the training of the new recruits all day long. Although he didn't say anything, he had kept the training process in mind and considered whether there was anything wrong with it. place.
That night, he found the ten captains to his residence. First, he expressed that he was satisfied with the efforts of the ten captains, and then he made his own request.
"On the battlefield, speed is crucial. Our corps is an infantry regiment. Whether it is a long journey or a sudden attack, we need two legs, so physical strength is crucial. Just doing physical training in the morning is not enough. I think so, "As he spoke, he looked at Qiu Zhen and asked, "I see there is a mountain near the camp in the north of the city. What is the name of the mountain?"
Qiu Zhen replied: "Wuyang Mountain is about fifteen miles away from the camp."
"Yes!" Tang Yin nodded and said: "In the future, for physical training, the recruits will be asked to do a rapid march to Wuyang Mountain, a round trip of thirty miles, completed within an hour. Also, you cannot go into battle lightly, you must have all the armor and weapons. In addition, Add another twenty kilograms of weight."
flutter! The ten captains almost vomited blood. Thirty miles, twenty kilograms of weight, completed in one hour, is a bit too difficult for ordinary soldiers who have never practiced Lingwu. Now the lineup of recruits has finally stabilized. If they practice like this, I am afraid it will have to be done again. There are a large number of people who cannot hold on.
"Isn't this... too harsh?" The ten captains did not dare to speak, and all looked at Qiu Zhen, who had the closest relationship with Tang Yin. Qiu Zhen understood everyone's difficulties. He leaned forward and asked tentatively.
"Only those who endure hardships can become masters. This is an eternal truth." Tang Yin said: "The Second Infantry Regiment wants to become the strongest infantry regiment in Feng Kingdom. How can it be that it sits at home and does not move? The title of the strongest Will it fall from the sky?"
As he spoke, he stood up, looked around at everyone, and said quietly: "As people go up, water flows down. When people live in this world, they must have ambition. Brothers, I hope that our corps can become the leader of the Feng Kingdom and even the entire empire. The best and strongest corps. Don’t you just settle for the status quo and don’t want to get to the next level? Since we choose to join the army, we have given up a life of mediocrity. If there is no momentum and no motivation to move forward, then what will we do in the future? What’s the point of being in the military?”
When everyone heard this, they were all moved. They looked at each other and nodded deeply. Then they all stood up and said in a loud voice: "General Tang taught his subordinates that they must do their best!"
Perhaps Deng Mingyang, Lu Bing, Zhang Jiu, and Li Feipeng looked down on Tang Yin at first, thinking that he got up through nepotism, but now, their impressions of Tang Yin have greatly changed. At least he is not the kind of person who just eats and waits to die. People who are dawdling in the military.
"Very good!" Tang Yin looked at everyone and said, "As long as we have tried our best, even if we have not done our best, even if we have not compared ourselves to others, at least we can feel at ease and not feel guilty or regretful."
"Yes, General Tang!"
"Everyone has worked hard in the past month and a half. Let's take a rest tomorrow!"
This is great news for everyone. After half a month, the recruits have worked extremely hard and are very tired. They are naturally happy to have a free day. Everyone looked happy, and the atmosphere in the hall became relaxed.
"Okay, that's all I have to say. If you have nothing to do, please come back."
"General Tang, my subordinates say goodbye!"
Everyone left one after another in a happy mood. Qiu Zhen did not leave, but looked at Tang Yin with bright eyes and a smile.
He raised his eyebrows in confusion and asked, "What are you looking at? There are flowers on my nose?"
"That's not true. I just think that you are more and more suitable for your current position. You are even better than I imagined." Qiu Zhen expressed his true thoughts.
Tang Yin was amused and said, "Are you praising me?"
Qiu Zhen nodded and said, "Of course."
"Do I still need your praise?" Tang Yin looked Qiu Zhen up and down, then changed the subject and said, "You seem to be very idle as the deputy commander!"
Qiu Zhen had a premonition that he was about to be plotted, and said hurriedly: "How could it be possible? I also have a lot of things to do."
"Isn't it?!" Tang Yin rolled his eyes and said: "It is estimated that many soldiers will quit after this training begins. From now on, it will be up to you to ask Wu Mei for new recruits. In addition, I think the soldiers Our equipment is not very complete. You can do some statistics to see what is missing, and then ask the quartermaster for it. From now on, you can just handle trivial matters like this on your own initiative, without having to ask me for help."
"I..." Qiu Zhen was a little confused about whether to laugh or cry, and shook his head helplessly.
Tang Yin gave his soldiers a day off. He thought it would be a relaxing day and there would be nothing to worry about. However, it turned out that what happened that day turned out to be the most troublesome.
In the early morning, Tang Yin got up, washed up, and punched in the hospital as usual to stretch his muscles. After eating, I started reading in the room.
He may have read more books during this period than he has in his life. First, he is eager to understand the world, and the knowledge gained from Yan Lie's memory is too limited. In addition, since he has joined the army, he must Familiar with all kinds of military art, military books, and master some combat skills. Even if you think the things in the books are not very useful, you must at least be aware of them.
By noon, Qiu Zhen, Guyue and Letian came together.
Now that they all have their own residences, they no longer need to live in Tang Yin's place, but they still like to go to Tang Yin's place whenever they have time.
Qiu Zhen came here simply to chat or talk about the Corps. He had no relatives or friends in Yancheng, and the only one he could talk to was Tang Yin. It is a fact that literati are arrogant, and there are not many people who can like Qiu Zhen.
But Gu Yue and Letian have other goals.
The two of them accidentally watched Tang Yin's boxing and kicking skills. They thought it was very novel at first, but only after they came into contact with it did they realize the mystery and power of it.
Both of them hoped to learn some simple and practical kung fu or moves from Tang Yin, firstly, to enhance their own strength, and secondly, to teach the soldiers under their command to improve their combat effectiveness.
Tang Yin will not publicize his Kung Fu everywhere, but he will not hide it either. Both Gu Yue and Letian had a good foundation in Lingwu. They had good physical fitness and a solid foundation, and it was easy to learn Kung Fu. Tang Yin also passed on a lot of what he learned to them.
When they were together, they also competed with each other, not using spiritual martial arts, but simply competing in fists and kicks.
Today is no exception. As usual, Guyue and Letian worked together to defeat Tang Yin, while Qiu Zhen watched the excitement.
Tang Yin was very relaxed in dealing with the two of them. He put his hands behind his back and swam left and right with only his flexible movements. The tired Gu and Le were panting.
After beating for a long time, it didn't even stick to the edge of his clothes. Guyue and Letian gave up and sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, breathing heavily.
Looking at Tang Yin with a relaxed face, Guyue couldn't help but ask: "Brother Tang, how did you practice your body skills?"
Because they became familiar with Tang Yin, Guyue, Letian, and Qiu Zhen also called him Brother Tang in private. Tang Yin had no sense of hierarchy, and others didn't care much about what he called him.
"Practice is very painful." Tang Yin shrugged and smiled.
"Ah?" Gu and Le didn't understand what he meant.
Tang Yin sat down, his eyes gradually became deeper, and said: "When I was a child, I lived in the deep mountains and old forests. I had to go up the mountains to collect firewood every day. However, there were too many branches in the mountains, which would often snag and tear my clothes, and I didn't have any spare parts. You can change your clothes. If you want to keep warm and not freeze to death in the mountains, you can only pay attention to avoid those branches. As time goes by, your reactions and speed will become faster."
"So that's it!" Guyue and Letian were secretly surprised. They really didn't expect that Tang Yin, who looked fair and clean, was born in such a poor family.
If they knew that Tang Yin also had a master who would give him a stick whenever his clothes were found to be damaged, they would probably be even more surprised.
The hardships in his childhood made Tang Yin's character distorted and cynical. It wasn't until he came to this world that he slowly became like a human being, able to be happy, angry, and caring, instead of the original one who only knew how to kill people. A cold-blooded machine.
