After leaving the palace and returning to the camp, Liu Shaoqing quickly asked Huang Chengyong and others to call the people who were usually close to him to his room. After a while, a group of people came one after another, including Wen Dusu, Mule, Tieliang, Duan Fang, Shengyun, Na Jin and other bannermen, Duan Qirui, Wang Shizhen, Feng Guozhang, Shangdequan and other Huai Group.

Wen Dusu said as soon as he came in, "Brother Shaoqing, I heard that you had just come out of the palace and came here in such a hurry. Why? Could it be that something is wrong?"

Wen Dusu's son is the minister in charge of the guards, and he is very informative. He can know whoever enters the palace every day, how long he stays, or even says something.

Liu Shaoqing smiled and said, "Nothing can be hidden from you, Brother Lu'an. That's right, this time the emperor assigned a small errand, and we need to complete it together."

Duan Qirui and others were not like Wen Dusu and other bannermen. They often interacted with high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital, and were not so surprised by the emperor. If they were not in the capital now, they would have rarely caught the emperor's servant several times in their lives, so they quickly asked respectfully: "Mr. Liu, what are the emperor's instructions?"

Liu Shaoqing said: "I am training a new camp, you all know this. The emperor attaches great importance to this matter. Isn't the New Year coming soon? The emperor's grace gives everyone a gift for the New Year, but it also requires us to hand it over to the families of these soldiers in person to show grace."

Wen Dusu, Tieliang and others have been in the officialdom for many years. How smart should they be? As soon as Liu Shaoqing finished speaking, they understood that this was the emperor who wanted to buy people's hearts. At the same time, they also reminded the noble children who spent money to hire people to join the army: Don't think that I was kept in the dark by you. But if the emperor can do such a thing, it would be too offensive to hand it over to them.

Unlike Duan Qirui and others' eagerness to try, Tie Liang asked cautiously: "Why do you want us to go?"

Liu Shaoqing smiled and said, "Frankly speaking, I dare not take responsibility for this matter by my brother, brother, but the emperor said that the students of the martial arts school will sooner or later lead soldiers in the future, so it is better to be able to contact soldiers earlier, so I asked my brother to find some good performance in the school. Brothers are in the capital and have two lives, and they usually have a lot of contact with you, so I found you."

To put it bluntly, Liu Shaoqing was afraid that one person would cause too much hatred and could not bear it, so he found a few more people to share the burden. But then again, this matter was also a job that was registered in front of the emperor, and it could also win over the morale of the army. Just as Liu Shaoqing said just now, they would lead troops sooner or later. With such a chance, it would be of great benefit to them in the future. As for hatred, one is that there are many people, and everyone will share the burden, so it will not be obvious. In one, Wen Dusu and Su have never been afraid of anyone in the capital.

As for Duan Qirui and the others, they have not yet come into contact with this circle and cannot see so many tricks.

Wen Dusu first expressed his opinion: "Okay, then we will accompany you Brother Shaoqing to go through this trip. However, for the New Year, don't let me work too hard."

Liu Shaoqing said: "Don't worry, we are only responsible for those who perform outstandingly in training. As for most people, they will have their own instructors. If everyone agrees, I will report to the emperor. At that time, the emperor will send the order to the school, and Lord Rong, Lord Yin, Lord Zhou and others will participate."

With Wen Dusu being the first to respond, and Liu Shaoqing clearly stated that the emperor would send the imperial edict to the school, so this hatred probably wouldn't be much, so Tieliang and others reluctantly agreed. As for Duan Qirui and the seven others, they wanted to miss the job, so they would not refuse.

A few days passed in a flash, and it was already the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month. The routine morning exercises in the training camp were still the same as usual, and the morning training was not relaxed at all. Even because a few people were a little lazy, they were punished.

Some of them have been removed from the training before because some people can't keep up with the pace of training or have complaints. Now the rest are those who are reluctant to leave the money and food and are desperately staying. Naturally, they don't want to lose the days they have worked hard for one New Year. Are they joining the army? It's normal that they can't go home for a few years while guarding the border, and they understand this truth. But even so, the voices of discussion in the teams during lunch are obviously much louder than usual. After all, home is right by your side!

"It seems that the morale of the army is a little unstable." Looking at the soldiers who were talking too far, Yang Yong said with some annoyance.

Wu Faxian smiled: "Yes, it's inevitable that I miss my family more during festivals."

Yang Yong disagreed with his point of view, "But the soldiers have to go to the battlefield to fight, and these people may have to guard the border. Do they have to give them holidays every year and during festivals? Will the enemy stop beating us because we have a holiday?"

Yang Yong's biggest hobby is to argue with Wu Faxian, but this time Wu Faxian did not accept his move. Liu Shaoqing said on the side: "This is impossible. After all, they are actually new recruits and have not truly established the mentality that a soldier should have. We need to educate him slowly. On the other hand, loving soldiers like children cannot be just empty words. Soldiers should feel the warmth of home in the military camp, so that they can regard the military camp as their home, and we are fathers and brothers, and truly achieve a strong camp!"

Yang Yong would not challenge Liu Shaoqing and nodded, "Yes, I understand."

Liu Shaoqing smiled and then said, "Okay, it's time for them to take a break. Let's go over."

At this time, the soldiers below had basically finished their meal. When they saw the commander coming, the whispering voices suddenly became much smaller.

Liu Shaoqing looked at the soldiers on the playground and sighed in his heart. To be honest, he had been practicing these soldiers for more than two months, but now due to the Chinese New Year, almost everyone is impatient, which makes him feel a little disappointed. However, he did not show it. At the same time, he felt even more convinced that he must visit these soldiers at home to calm their hearts.

"Let the troops gather."

Huang Chengyong and the other four nodded, stepped forward and said in unison: "Get together!"

The training over the past two months has had some effect. No matter whether you say he is disciplined or conditioned reflex, at the end of the order, everyone immediately put down their bowls and chopsticks and stood up, and then stood according to their own team and their team.

After the troops gathered, Liu Shaoqing walked up and said loudly in his voice-changing voice: "I'll say a few words!"

‘Bang~’

The soldiers below immediately gathered their feet together and straightened their chests. This was the training they had received during this period to tell them what they should do when the commander was teaching.

"Since everyone has entered this military camp and have this bowl of rice, you will have a different identity from ordinary people. You are no longer ordinary people in the city, nor are you good babies under your mother's knees. You have a unified name, that is, the warrior!"

"There is a truth that needs no need to say. If you are a soldier, you should go to the battlefield! If you are a tiger, you should go to the mountains; if you are a dragon, you should make trouble in the ocean! Who has no father? Who has no mother? Who has no heart to his relatives? But as long as the warrior sounds, everything should be put aside! Why do you have this? Because we are different from others, we are soldiers! We are soldiers!"

"But look at you, do you still have a soldier now? Your heart is no longer in the barracks, and your heart has long since flew away! One of your instructors just said, "Because we can't guard the border during the holidays? Because we are going to celebrate the New Year, will the enemy not attack us? No! Now, the British still occupy North Korea's Juwen Island and have not returned to the court, and they still want to establish a new king in Myanmar. The emperor is not thinking about food and food because of this. As a soldier, not only can you not share the worries of the king and father, but you always think about going home for the New Year? Ask yourself, are you worthy of the meal you eat every day and the monthly salary you receive?"

Liu Shaoqing's words were loud and utterly, making everyone feel ashamed.

Yes, my training has been very hard for more than two months, but the court has not lost a single loss to us. The salary of three taels of silver per month is enough for the family to live. You should know that the salary of Green Camp soldiers in this year is only 2 taels per month; the Hunan Army and the Huai Army implemented double salary, which is 4 taels of soldiers, and some troops are 4.2-4.5 taels. But it is only theoretically that there is a problem of deducting military pay in the late Qing military system. The Green Camp troops are particularly serious, and it should be thankful that soldiers can get half of the salary. Although the salary of the Huai Army is high, it is implemented in the Nine Pass, which is to pay nine months a year and be owe three months. As for when it is paid, it is not certain. As for food, the Huai Army is even more unstoppable. There are eggs, meat, and rice and white flour buns every day. Such days are not something I dare not imagine before.

The court treated me so favorably, according to the principle, my more than 100 pounds would be sold to the court, but why can't I let it go?

"Report!"

A voice came out, and when Liu Shaoqing saw that it was the previous Wang Ermazi.

"speak!"

"Sir, the court treats us well. Everyone knows that this is the emperor's kindness and we can't repay us. Now the court is in danger and the emperor is bullied by foreigners. As long as you say something, my Wang Ermazi will go to the battlefield with you and fight against the British. But Sir, I only have one request. Before leaving, can I let me take a look at my mother again?"

Wang Ermazi's words immediately resonated with everyone. Yes, who has no father? Who has no mother? Who has no heart to his relatives? Although it is as long as the warlock sounds, everything should be put aside! But it is easy to say this, but it is really difficult to do it!

Liu Shaoqing also knew that it would not be possible for a while, nor could he do it alone. Fortunately, today I didn’t really want to take them to the battlefield.

"I know everyone has a concern in their hearts, and the emperor also knows that the emperor is a benevolent monarch. He would rather sleep and eat by himself than let everyone have a good New Year. Therefore, the emperor specially issued an order to give us seven days off! Not only that, the emperor also issued a special order to give each person an additional silver salary so that everyone can have a good New Year meal."

As soon as Liu Shaoqing said this, the lower part suddenly exploded. Some were cheerful, some were moved and crying, and even those who immediately thought of kneeling down in the direction of the Forbidden City. It can only be said that in the hearts of ordinary people, the emperor was as great as the sky.

Looking at the people in front of him, Liu Shaoqing also knew that it was better to be scattered than to be blocked at this time, so he took the lead and shouted: "Long live my emperor!"

With Liu Shaoqing's shout, more than 700 soldiers below shouted in unison: "Long live! Long live! Long live!"

The sound shines across the world!
