The carriage is fake, but the pawn in the carriage is real.
Freedom is fake, but doubling training volume is real.
These fake and real things may take the deserters a lifetime to heal.
The clothes were taken back, and the new recruits, wearing trousers and no armor, began to run around the camp, one by one, as if they were mourning for their heirs.
The new soldiers who had not "fallen into the trap" were sitting in the distance, arm-in-arms with the old soldiers. They had only one task today, which was to laugh and laugh at these deserters and cowards.
Lin Kui stood on the flag stand and shouted: "Tell me, who are you?"
While running, singing, cursing, and cursing myself, it was very exciting and exciting.
Under the ruthless sticks of the old soldiers, the deserters were wearing trousers, sweating profusely, running around and around, out of breath, and worse than death.
More and more new recruits were exhausted and lying on the ground unable to get up. Hu Shenzhi was one of them and the first to fall behind. He was beaten on the buttocks with a cloth stick and could not get up no matter what.
Tao Shaozhang ran over with a riding whip, bent down and shouted: "If you can't hold on, if you can't run anymore, tell me quickly!"
"Sir, I...I..."
"Give up, give up quickly, give up." Tao Shaozhang pointed at the camp gate and shouted: "Climb over, get out of here, hurry up, hurry up, leave the camp, leave here, you can regain your freedom, crawl over there
.”
"I, I..."
With a cry of wow, the young man in his twenties burst into tears.
Tao Shaozhang still shouted: "Yes, crawl over there crying, crawl quickly, get out of here, let you go, no one can stop you, crawl quickly!"
"I don't want to!"
Hu Shenzhi suddenly roared, climbed up with his hands on the ground, and then tried his best to catch up with the team.
In the camp, the only thing left was Tao Shaozhang's roar, full of positive energy.
"You are a waste, there is no need to persist, waste, walk quickly, run out of the camp, no one can stop you, prove to everyone that you are a waste..."
"Give up, give up quickly, you are not suitable for joining the army. You are a son of a noble family. You are a son of a noble family who is just waiting to die. Why persist..."
"Lie down, don't get up, lie down, lie down like a dead dog, no one will blame you, because you are a dead dog..."
"Cry, yes, cry loudly, everyone, look. The eldest son of the Zhu family, a wealthy family in Zhu County, is crying. Everyone, look..."
"Why bother? You are a deserter and a coward. You will be a deserter and a coward all your life..."
"Everyone listen to the order, sit down where you are, and rest..."
"Hahaha, stop your ass, I'm kidding you, get up and keep running..."
Chu Qing gasped at the sight: "Third brother, uncle, aren't you afraid that the new soldiers will kill you when you sleep at night?"
"Young master, what you are saying is that we should remove the old soldiers who usually accompany Tao Shaozhang, otherwise it will be difficult for the new soldiers to take over... No, you are sending two old soldiers to prevent the new soldiers from taking over."
Chu Qing rolled his eyes, and the third brother almost said what was in his heart.
Tao Shaozhang was always running and shouting, constantly "cheering" the new recruits. His full of positive energy warmed the deserters all morning.
The new recruits were almost driven crazy by being played. Seeing Lin Kui really let him rest, these new recruits were still running, and the trust between people had completely disappeared.
Finally, a group of veterans swarmed up and stopped the team.
The old soldiers were cursing and laughing, but they quickly brought buckets, squatted on the ground, and washed the soles of the deserters' feet with clean water. They were cursing and cleaning their hands meticulously, and then used wood.
The water in the cup was poured into their mouths little by little.
After making sure that their feet were not worn out and replenishing water, the veterans left cursing.
The deserter recruits were like dead dogs, just lying on the ground, breathing heavily, hoping to never get up again in this life.
No one spoke because there was no strength at all.
Xu Tianchen was also lying on the ground.
He regretted it again. He felt that he was very cheap. He actually had the idea of staying in the wolf-catching army camp. What was he if he wasn't cheap?
After resting for less than half an hour, the drums sounded, and the new deserters, who were still like dead dogs, rushed to the camp tent like crazy, ready to eat.
They were really hungry.
But they forgot one thing. The majesty of military justice cannot be violated. If the food is halved, then it is halved.
This time, no one scolded me, because I asked for it. I was blinded by eating lard, and I actually believed the nonsense of military justice. I really thought I was free, and I deserved it. I'm just a bitch!
It was still an uncomfortable cry, "I'm leaving," the father and mother died with eyes closed, the wife and daughter were insulted, the children cried heartbreakingly...
After shouting three times, the new soldier started to devour it.
Chu Qing, who was on the flag stand, called Lin Kui over: "I've been working hard all morning and the food has been halved. Can I keep up with my physical strength?"
"Master Tao said that if you practice hard in the morning, you can't eat too much at noon. I think it's right. If you eat too much, something will happen in the afternoon."
Chu Qing was slightly startled: "You are a veteran in the army. I agree with what you said, but how can my uncle understand?"
"Hey, don't tell me, young master. Mr. Tao is an expert. Just the trouble he caused this morning will be of great help to the morale of the army."
Chu Qing was even more confused. Tao Shaozhang knew how to train soldiers. How could this be possible?
Originally, Chu Qing shouldn't think too much about it. As the old saying goes, don't trust the people you employ and don't use the people you suspect, unless the suspect's name is Tao Shaozhang.
"If Tao Shaozhang comes up with an idea, you and Lao Song should tell me immediately."
"become."
Chu Qing continued to eat naan bread.
In the morning, I ran for tired legs. In the afternoon, I stopped stretching my legs and started stretching my arms and back for archery.
You must know that in other camps, you need to join the army for a long time before you are exposed to war horses and bows and arrows, but in the wolf-catching army camp, there is not so much time to train elites. What is important is efficiency. Come straight to the topic. Can it be done?
You can see it.
Time passed day by day, and Tao Shaozhang was also busy doing things at intervals. Today he would sort out the abandonment, and tomorrow he would make a silly proposal with a small notebook and ask if anyone was willing to leave. No matter how many tricks he tried, there was no one left.
People believed him and thought this guy was full of lies.
Even so, Tao Shaozhang still insulted the intelligence of the new recruits again and again.
Chu Qing didn't understand very much and felt that Tao Shaozhang had a bit of a bad taste.
It wasn't until more than ten days later that an official who called himself Hu Ping of Luliu County came to the outside of the camp and paid homage to Chu Qing.
Hu Ping spent all his family wealth and held 120,000 silver notes in his hand, hoping to exchange for his son Hu Shenzhi.
Hu Ping fell to his knees and begged again and again.
Hu Shenzhi was his only son, and for such a fat son, he was willing to use his family wealth and even his black hat to "redeem" Hu Shenzhi. Moreover, most of the young men in Luliu County had joined the army.
Chu Qing helped Hu Ping up.
Hu Ping reminded him of Lao Chu and his father, who was willing to give up everything for his son.
I called Lin Kui and asked about it. Hu Shenzhi, his performance was not very good, his physical strength was not good, his perseverance was very poor, and the most important thing was that this fat man never lost weight and was very good at eating. This kind of waste would have to be kicked out sooner or later.
.
After receiving the 120,000 yuan in silver notes, Chu Qing asked people to bring Hu Shenzhi, handing over the money with one hand and handing over the people with the other. The old wolf-catchers really looked down on Hu Shenzhi.
Accompanied by Tao Shaozhang, Hu Shenzhi walked over with a suspicious look on his face.
When he saw his fat son, Hu Ping burst into tears and shouted "Zhi'er".
But who could have imagined that the fat white man Hu Shenzhi suddenly took a step back.
"Zhi'er, what's wrong with you, Zhi'er? It's a father, it's a father. My poor Zhi'er, it's only been more than a month, and you... you've actually gained a little weight?"
The old father was a little confused because his fat son had indeed gained weight again.
Hu Shenzhi did not leave the fence, but frowned and walked over, stretched out his hand, pinched his father's face directly, and squeezed hard.
"Are you...really my father?"
"Zhi'er, what's wrong with you? Why can't you even recognize your father?"
Hu Shenzhi laughed, then suddenly turned his head to look at Tao Shaozhang, his fat face full of pride: "Master Tao is so good at tricks, even my father was bribed. He wants to trick me out, no way!"
Chu Qing grinned, and even the third brother was dumbfounded. Only Tao Shaozhang seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"Old man." Hu Shenzhi pointed at his father and laughed loudly: "You have fooled even your own son. Don't have any wild ideas. Even if you die, I will not even step out of the camp. You should give up on this idea."
Hahaha."
After laughing a few times, Hu Shenzhi ran back.
Hu Ping was stunned, his mind went blank: "Zhi'er...is he crazy?"
Chu Qing was also dumbfounded and looked at his uncle, his head filled with questions.
Tao Shaozhang smiled slightly: "Brother-in-law, do you think it's pointless for Brother Yu to mobilize troops and scare them all day long? Now you know why."
"You did it on purpose?!"
"Yes, Brother Yu knows that you, brother-in-law, must have something planned. The son of the aristocratic family is an important part of the plan, so he tried every means to keep the son of the aristocratic family in the army."
After finishing speaking, Tao Shaozhang looked at Hu Ping: "Your son doesn't want to leave, so he can't rely on others. The military camp is a powerful place. Don't stay here. Go back."
"This...this..." Hu Ping was about to cry again.
Tao Shaozhang shook his head and sighed: "Hu Ping, I am the young minister of Dali Temple, Tao Shaozhang. In your daily life, you have misappropriated a lot of land. Although you are not a person full of evil, you are also a fatuous official with many evil deeds. Your Hu family,
It has no foundation at all. If you don't wake up, you will definitely end up in jail one day. When that happens, how will you protect your son Hu Shenzhi? Instead of doing this, it is better to let Hu Shenzhi gain experience in the army. He can read and write and has a bright mind.
, If he leaves the camp one day and is still willing to join the army, he will be a small flagman in the Sixth Camp and he will be able to memorize the Four Books and Five Classics by heart. The border general will not let him go to the battlefield. At least in this life, he will be safe and worry-free.
It’s up to you to decide how to decide.”
Chu Qing handed over the banknote: "I know that although you are incompetent and have committed evil deeds, you have not committed any crime that cannot be tolerated by nature. I and Qianqiying will not investigate you, as long as you no longer violate the law."
, you have the final say whether Hu Guangzhi leaves or stays."
Hu Ping was silent for a long time. After a while, he took a step back, straightened his clothes, knelt on his knees, and his voice was hoarse.
"Thank you... thank you two adults for making it possible."
Chu Qing and Tao Shaozhang smiled.
Hu Ping stood up suddenly, exhausted all his strength, and shouted into the camp.
"Zhi'er, Zhi'er, my father, my father is waiting for you at home, you have to live well, my father, my father misses you, Zhi'er..."
Hu Ping's voice became smaller and smaller, he lowered his head, tears came out of his eyes again, and he murmured softly.
"Zhi'er...Zhi'er, I miss you as a father, I miss you as a father...I miss you, I miss you."
In the military camp, a fat body squatted on the ground, tears streaming down his face.
Dad, baby, baby, I miss you too, please take care of yourself...
