This Eunuch Gui was specially sent by Zai Tian to the battlefield. He did not come alone. At the request of Liu Shaoqing, Emperor Guangxu also drew 200 guards from the Shanpu Camp in the palace. On the one hand, he praised Liu Shaoqing, and on the other hand, because Liu Shaoqing had not many personal soldiers, he also needed some people to help maintain order.

Eunuch Gui nodded to Liu Shaoqing with a smile, then waved to the guards beside him. Then, two hundred sword-wearing guards in yellow jackets rushed into the school ground. At the same time, at the gate, Liu Shaoqing's personal soldiers had already begun to close the gate.

‘Dongdongdongdongdong…’

The heavy drum sound floated in the quiet morning. Everyone familiar with it knew that this was the "drilling soldiers" and that the main general began to advance to the tent and order the soldiers. For a moment, the school ground, which was originally a little chaotic, immediately became quiet.

"Stand well... stand well..."

Two hundred guards interspersed back and forth in the school ground, and randomly divided more than 7,000 "soldiers" who came to listen to Xuan into several square formations. Because they had been chatting with the little man named Zhang Yaowu, Guan Qi naturally divided the same square formation with him. The two stood side by side and stood up straight, waiting for Dian Mao to complete today's "job".

As the square formations were divided, the school ground became quieter. Seeing that what was going on below was almost done, Liu Shaoqing signaled Huang Chengyong to stand up and speak.

This speech was originally from Liu Shaoqing. After all, he is the main general, but Liu Shaoqing is now in the voice change period, and there are too many people on the school field this time. In order to ensure that everyone can hear the requirements clearly, it is better to let the older Huang Chengyong do it.

At Liu Shaoqing's instructions, Huang Chengyong walked to the front of the stage with a rolled loudspeaker.

"Everyone should pay attention, listen! Today is the first day of the emperor's special order to rectify the Beijing Camp, and you will be the first group of soldiers to undergo training. I don't care whether anyone among you has ever achieved the position of the General Secretary, the General Secretary, and even if he has achieved the garrison, the Dushi, and the Dushi, are all here today who need to be assessed!"

After saying the above paragraph, Huang Chengyong stopped and took a breath. After all, it was still very laborious to face thousands of people shouting in the empty playground.

"First of all, I will give you a chance, a chance to choose - if anyone thinks he can't stand the upcoming assessment, he can choose to quit now. Is there any?"

Looking at the quiet scene, Liu Shaoqing secretly laughed. This sentence is like a waste of time. I don’t know what to test for. Where will anyone quit like this?

Sure enough, Huang Chengyong waited for a while, and no one off the field was willing to quit as soon as he came up.

Huang Chengyong sneered and then continued: "It seems that no one cherishes this opportunity. But it doesn't matter. The door to leave is always open for you. In the next assessment, you can choose to leave at any time. Because, I think no one among you can stay!"

In the crowd, Guan Qi sneered at the threat or sarcasm of the adult on the stage. Although he had not practiced kung fu, he still had the strength to do it with his own posture, and he had been in clan school for several years. With these two points, he didn't believe that any kind of assessment would make him pass. Do you think you are really the top martial arts candidate?

On the stage, Huang Chengyong was still shouting loudly. "Okay, from this moment on, the assessment officially begins. From now on, you cannot move, you cannot speak, and you cannot fall down. Anyone who violates will be eliminated and driven out of the camp. I will repeat it again. From now on, you are not allowed to move, until there is a new order!"

Guan Qi blinked his eyes, why, this is the beginning? What kind of assessment is this? Just standing like this, not moving, this is the assessment?

Although I don’t understand, Guan Qi is not stupid. Now it’s not the time to complain or ask questions. Since the commander asked him to stand, then just stand, which is a waste of time.

However, after half an hour passed, Guan Qi realized that things were not that simple.

When he was on duty at the city gate, he had been standing for one day, but how could he compare to the current one? Inside and outside the city gate, countless people were coming in and out. He and a group of brothers had to go up to maintain order, collect personal income taxes, etc., and when they met a big girl and a little wife, they didn’t say that they could take some trouble and put on their mouths, and they were still quite fun.

The most important thing is that when the city gate is on duty, no one is forced to stand up with a knife!

That's right, those guards wearing yellow jackets and Guangnan soldiers from Tokio, holding bright bayonets were not just watching the fun, but were constantly shuttled through various square formations, and found that some of them were standing upside down, either on the back of the knife or the butt, but no matter what it was, you always remember not to make mistakes again.

You must stand straight and not move or bend, but more importantly, you must not let it go with a sound. When a person's spirit is tense, he will easily feel tired, not to mention that there is a small cold wind blowing outside.

Although the BJ day in mid-10th lunar month is not cold yet, the cold air from the Mongolian Plateau has begun to show its power. If you keep moving outdoors at this time, you may not feel the chill in the early winter sun, but standing motionless like this, the little northwest wind whizzes through your sleeves and pours it into your arms, which is not good.

Guan Qi suddenly felt that it was wise to wear out the cotton shoes he had originally planned to wear during the Spring Festival when he went out. Although the cotton was only thin, there was a layer of cotton on the shoes. The feet were warm and the whole person didn't feel cold. Looking around, Guan Qi was immediately confident.

Soon, some people could not bear it anymore, and some people began to take the initiative to go out of the field. Huang Chengyong quietly looked at those self-elimination people, except for the sneer that always hangs on the corners of his mouth, without any indication.

The people who left brought some excitement to the people who stayed, and some people began to whisper, but the guards and Guangnan soldiers quickly picked out the people who spoke. As these people were beaten and kicked out of the schoolyard, the remaining people finally learned their lessons.

If you can't hold on, or you don't want to suffer this crime, then you can leave quietly, but you can't foul. If you foul, whether it's talking or something else, those people with swords and guns come up and greet you. They have to throw it out after the fight, why bother?

On the stage, Liu Shaoqing said to Eunuch Gui: "Dadlock, you are old and the weather is very cold. Besides, there is no trouble now, so why don't you go down and take a break."

Eunuch Gui's face always seemed to have a smile on his face. He looked at Liu Shaoqing and said, "I said, "My Lord Liu, are you going to let those people stand like this? When do you have to stand?"

Liu Shaoqing took out a pocket watch from his arms and looked at it, saying, "It will only take one hour. Wait a little longer, and it will probably be almost done with another hour."

Eunuch Gui glanced at the pocket watch in Liu Shaoqing's hand, and smacked his lips, "Oh, are you Western things?"

Liu Shaoqing was stunned, then understood and took off his pocket watch from his clothes and handed it to Eunuch Gui, "Hey, it's not a good thing. At the time in Tonkin, there were basically one French officers, and my father-in-law liked it and just used it for fun."

Eunuch Gui smiled even happier, and said, "How can you be so embarrassed, such a valuable thing." He took it half-swer.

The dial of this pocket watch is about four centimeters in diameter. It has a silver case. It is heavy in hand and has a texture. The carved patterns on the surface are also very exquisite, and it looks like it is not an ordinary product at first glance.

Eunuch Gui couldn't put it down with his pocket watch and kept nagging: "Hey, I used to serve the emperor, and I was always worried that I had missed the hour. Now that I have this treasure, I don't have to worry anymore."

I held it in my hand and looked at it for a long time before I put it in my sleeve bag with satisfaction, then looked up and said, "Oh, I forgot to ask, Mr. Liu, what's the point of asking you for keeping these people standing like this for a long time?"

Only after Eunuch Gui's question did Eunuch Gui reveal the way of being an official in the Qing Dynasty.

Do you think that Eunuch Gui is really just supporting the scene for Liu Shaoqing this time? Then you are wrong! He also has a mission, which is to report back to the palace to the emperor without losing all his experiences and hearings this day.

If Liu Shaoqing had not taken out this pocket watch just now, or had not heard what he meant, and gave it to him. Then after he returned to the palace, he would say, "Liu Shaoqing summoned a large army to gather at the school ground in the morning, but did nothing in the morning, just letting the soldiers stand on the school ground. During this period, people kept leaving. I guess he didn't know what the young general was going to do, but there was no change in standing around, and he neither had to go out for exercise nor training, so he had to go home."

You said, did the little emperor see the scene at that time with his own eyes and listened to the report of the old turtle of Eunuch Gui, what would he think?

But now it’s different. If you take the hand short, you will naturally have to speak to them. In the least, you have to give them a chance to explain.

Liu Shaoqing then realized what he had almost missed and hurriedly said, "That's right, father-in-law, if an army wants to become an iron army, the main focus is on will. Countless successful cases throughout the ages tell us that if we want to build a strong army, we must first train the will of soldiers. What the boy is doing now is to train their will. Anyone who has a weak will does not need to be eliminated, he will choose to leave. If such a soldier is barely stayed, he will be a deserter when he goes to the battlefield in the future."

"In addition, this kind of standing posture actually consumes a lot of physical strength, especially in such colder situations, the physical strength will be consumed faster. Maintaining a standard standing posture for a long time is also a way to test the physical fitness of a soldier. Those who have poor physical strength or have other hidden dangers will be revealed over time."

The previous question from Eunuch Gui was just a kind of reward for Liu Shaoqing's gift of his pocket watch. In fact, I didn't really think there would be any tricks in the middle. Now, after hearing what Liu Shaoqing said, I became curious. "Oh, is it true?"

Liu Shaoqing smiled slightly: "If you don't believe me, look, there will be something that will be revealed soon."

Speaking of the time of chatting, more than two hours has passed, and only one hour has passed. At this time, hundreds of people have left in the field due to impatientness, such reasons. As time goes by, more and more people have left, especially not long after Liu Shaoqing finished speaking, there are beginning to rush out of the field.

When Eunuch Gui saw the blockbuster people leaving the playground and rushing towards the gate, he suddenly couldn't sit still, "Sir Liu, please take a look, what's going on?"

Liu Shaoqing did not show any panic at all, and said calmly: "It's okay, Eunuch Gui, this is what the kid just told you, the hidden dangers have emerged."
