Different from the bustle and warmth of the Liu Mansion, the Huang family mansion at this time is actually quiet and a bit scary!
All the maids and wives who were supposed to be serving inside were driven out the door, and only Mr. Huang and his wife were left in the huge room.
"You useless fool, you can't even do anything to a baby that doesn't even have hair to grow, and you've made me lose so much face! My sister-in-law originally agreed that she would bring her nephew to give us some New Year's goods today.
, It's better now, even the sister-in-law doesn't dare to come now! Tell me, what do you think we should do about this matter? Is it possible that we want that stupid kid named Liu to ride on our heads?" Mrs. Huang pinched her hands.
Waist, slap in the face to Mr. Huang, and give him a scolding.
Without even looking at the shrew-like woman, Mr. Huang grabbed the wine bottle on the table, filled a glass of wine, and swallowed it in one gulp.
"You, you still have the heart to drink!"
Mrs. Huang snatched the wine bottle from Mr. Huang's hand and threw it to the ground, "You useless thing, why did I fall in love with you in the first place? Even if I marry a pig, it's worse than marrying a pig.
You eggless coward is ten thousand times better! Oh, why is my life so miserable! How can I end up with such a useless thing like you!"
The more Mrs. Huang thought about it, the angrier she became. She couldn't help crying loudly, and beat Mr. Huang's body with both hands regardless of good or bad.
"What do you know about this woman?" Huang Zongqi couldn't bear it anymore and pushed Mrs. Huang aside.
Mrs. Huang never thought that her usually docile husband would dare to fight back. She lost her balance and fell to the ground with a 'plop'.
"You, how dare you hit me?"
Mrs. Huang pointed at Mr. Huang's nose tremblingly, as if she couldn't believe her eyes. After a moment, she realized, "You damn thing, you can't fight that little bastard, so you're taking it out on your wife and children! Ah -
——I’m not alive anymore! What evil did I do in my previous life..."
Seeing his mother-in-law crying heartbreakingly on the ground, Mr. Huang knew that he was too heavy-handed. He quickly got up and helped Mrs. Huang up from the ground, "Madam, madam, don't be angry! You don't need to be celebrating the New Year.
For this trivial matter, we have hurt the harmony between our husband and wife! Let that little bastard be proud for a few days, and after some time, I will make him understand!"
"Huh?" Mrs. Huang was stunned, glanced at Mr. Huang in surprise, and said doubtfully: "My boss, that little bastard named Liu has a very strong foundation. What can you do?"
Although Mrs. Huang was crying and fussing, she also knew in her heart that even her eldest brother Yang Qianhu had nothing to do with Liu Ruyi, so what use could she expect from her husband? She was crying and fussing like this just for the sake of
Just vent your grievances!
At this time, hearing her man say this, Mrs. Huang suddenly became a little worried. She grabbed Huang Zongqi's hand and said worriedly: "Master, don't think too hard! That little bastard is cruel and evil, but
Don’t let him catch you! We’re living a good life now, and we can’t afford to be like that little bastard!”
"Hmph!"
Mr. Huang sneered a few times, glanced at his mother-in-law, and suddenly lowered his voice and said: "Madam, don't worry, I have my own sense of proportion in this matter! My Huang family has been rooted in Caishi Town for a hundred years, how can we not know the heights of the sky?"
How can you compare to a little bastard? Madam, have you forgotten what my brother is for?"
"You mean that..." Mrs. Huang pointed to the road.
Huang Zongqi sneered and nodded, "If there is a road to heaven, you don't take it, and if there is no door to hell, you break in! Since you insist on seeking your own death, then Mr. Huang will be merciful and give you a ride!"
…………
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, we pay homage to the ancestral hall, and on the second day of the Lunar New Year, we pay tribute to the family members. This Chinese New Year is almost over, and life is back on track!
As the saying goes, 'An extra drop of sweat in daily life will save a drop of blood in wartime!'
Regarding the training of these new soldiers, Liu Ruyi did not dare to slack off for a moment.
Starting from the third day of the Lunar New Year, in addition to practicing military posture every day, Liu Ruyi also added long-distance running in the morning!
Liu Ruyi made a rough estimate. From the back wall of Liu's mansion to the main street in front, the circumference of this area should be one thousand steps, about one thousand meters. In this way, five times around the area outside the mansion, it would be exactly
Five thousand meters is similar to the five kilometers cross-country in later generations.
In the era of cold weapons, in addition to weapons and equipment, the physical strength of the soldiers is even more important. The five-kilometer cross-country can not only enhance the physical strength and endurance of these soldiers, it is also a good exercise for their will and perseverance! Moreover, this
This kind of training does not require any equipment at all, just two feet is enough. To paraphrase later generations, this is a purely natural, pollution-free, natural and healthy aerobic exercise!
Every morning early in the morning, people in the small town suddenly discovered an interesting sight. The new general manager Liu personally led forty or fifty soldiers and ran around the front street in circles.
Although the weather was very cold, they were only wearing a single layer of clothing. There was even a tall and strong man like a calf who went shirtless, revealing his strong tendons, which made those on the street shudder.
Big girl, little wife is blushing!
Needless to say, that big man is naturally Xiao Liuer!
As Liu Ruyi has completely established a foothold in this small town, food, accommodation and other aspects have stabilized. Xiao Liu'er and Huo Lang are getting stronger and stronger, and Xiao Liu'er's height has been growing rapidly.
Jump, now he is more than half a head taller than Liu Ruyi, probably more than two meters tall. At a glance, he looks like King Li Tianwang is still alive!
At the beginning, because these new recruits were too weak, only less than ten of them could complete the entire five-kilometer cross-country. However, as Liu Ruyi's training intensified and the reward and punishment system became more and more harsh,
These soldiers had no choice but to grit their teeth and persevere, which made the training effect much better.
Although the training was very arduous, even very painful, none of these soldiers gave up! In this era, it is difficult to have a full meal, not to mention Liu Ruyi's generous conditions
, even if one or two people want to retreat and escape, the whip in Liu Ruyi's hand will not recognize anyone!
High pressure and generous rewards, under the constraints of two extreme pressures, each of these soldiers was like a tightly wound clockwork, beating their bodies crazily.
After more than ten days, these new recruits have basically adapted to Liu Ruyi's current intensity. Although some people will still fall behind, the overall effect is already very gratifying.
Early that morning, after finishing the long-distance running, Liu Ruyi gathered everyone on the small school field in Liu's residence.
After nearly a month of hard training, the overall quality of these soldiers has been greatly improved. Originally, they were just a group of farmers who only knew how to farm. Now, they have gradually taken the shape of soldiers.
Weapons training was also put on the agenda.
Liu Ruyi held a long spear and glanced at everyone one by one, "Brothers, watch out!"
After Liu Ruyi finished speaking, he roared, shook the head of his gun, exerted force on his legs, and rushed towards a human-shaped wooden rake made of hay twenty steps ahead.
"Poof!" There was a muffled sound, and in an instant, the spear broke through the hole, accurately piercing the chest of the wooden rake, and the spear head pierced through the back of the wooden rake!
"Good! What a good shot!"
"Mr. Liu, your marksmanship is great!"
Everyone applauded!
Liu Ruyi pulled out the spear, but slowly shook his head, "This is not enough! I was caught in a light body and failed to fully utilize the advantages of the spear! You are all good men, you should do better than
Even better! Come here, distribute the spears, and start practicing now!"
"Yes!" Xiao Liu'er and Huo Lang distributed a bundle of spears as tall as one person to the hands of every soldier.
These military men couldn't help but be overjoyed with the spears in their hands, just like soldiers getting their beloved guns for the first time. They gently rubbed the spears in their hands, extremely excited.
Liu Ruyi carefully considered the reason why he chose the spear as the weapon of these soldiers. The spear is cheap to make, but its power is extraordinary, and it is easier to cooperate with the team to form a spear formation. Just like that day in Zihe River Valley not far to the south.
If those thieves were a little more organized, Liu Ruyi really wouldn't be able to do anything against them.
In this era, most of the main combat power of the Ming army relied on the bravery of the officers and their servants. There was no such thing as teamwork!
In this case, if the officer is brave, that's it. If he is a pustule, the consequences will be unimaginable!
The Yue Family Army, Qi Family Army, including Qin Liangyu's white-armed soldiers, most of them use spears as their main weapons, and the effects are quite good!
Although Liu Ruyi also wanted to get some firearms and muskets, it was a pity that there were only seven or eight craftsmen's households in the town, and they were all taken to the mines in the mountains by Li Lianyang and Huang Zongqi to serve as slaves.
It would take a lot of effort to get some firearms from the guards. Moreover, at this time, due to the pressure of Shangguan, the craftsmen were rushing to work, resulting in most of the Ming army's firearms being mixed, and explosions occurred from time to time. Liu Ruyi was right
There is not much hope for the firearms of the government and the army. It will be more reassuring to get some by ourselves when we have the opportunity!
Considering that these soldiers had no experience in martial arts in the past, and too complicated moves would confuse them and would not be of much practical use on the battlefield, Liu Ruyi learned the spear skills passed down from his father Liu Hu.
Among them, the simplest but most practical tricks were selected for these soldiers to practice.
"Gun" has been a symbol of loyalty since ancient times!
"The blood stains Zheng's robes and his armor is red. Who dares to compete with him in the sun? From ancient times, he is the only one who rushes into battle to help the master in danger. Only Changshan Zhao Zilong!"
This weapon, for this reason, has been given different meanings!
The moves chosen by Liu Ruyi can be summed up in one word: "Stab!"
From a distance of more than ten steps, use the impact of the start to pierce the enemy's vital point with the spear in your hand as quickly as possible at the first time. Without unnecessary fancy moves, the shot will kill someone!
"Mr. Liu Qi, isn't this move too radical? It's just an attack, not a defense. I'm afraid it will be..." Zhao Canghai looked at an unoccupied opportunity and carefully told Liu Ruyi his worries.
Liu Ruyi glanced at him and suddenly sighed softly, "On the battlefield, either you die or I die! There is no retreat, no retreat! Brother Zhao, it doesn't matter what your moves are! The simpler it is
As long as you practice these moves carefully, they will become even more powerful!"
