On the playground, soldiers were running around in circles, and in the distance, there were group of officers holding paper and pen recording the performance of each class, naturally including the performance of the squad leader.

These squad leaders were originally just big-headed soldiers, and before they became squads, they had a meeting in the company. ‘You must try to strengthen your feelings with the new recruits and make them obey you. During training, you must improve your training performance as much as possible. We will score your daily performance at the end. Classes with high scores will be qualified to go to military academy for further studies.’

This is the company commander's original words.

All the soldiers of the Guards were looking forward to entering the Beijing Non-commissioned Officer School because it not only meant that they could become a glorious officer, but also brought tax exemptions, labor exemptions, money and food provided by the court, and the power of younger siblings to go to school. This is an amazing event, so every class leader and deputy class leader would rack their brains to obtain higher training results in order to stand out - this is why those late classes saw someone running away immediately after the playground, which means they lost points.

Soon, some class completed the five laps of quantification and immediately took them back to the dormitory. However, some squad leaders were unlucky. Some of the soldiers assigned to them were much more addicted to smoking than physical fitness and were already using crawling. It was obvious that they should not think about the scores this time.

Soldiers who were addicted to smoking were taken away by the military police, but the remaining soldiers still had to undergo physical fitness training. The squad leader who had completed the running lap excitedly shouted at the soldiers who were taken back to the dormitory: "Always move forward, everyone must cut off their braids. Those who have finished cutting their braids turn left to the bathroom, and you must go there to take a shower and brush your teeth. Remember to use soap to clean your hair and feet well! After taking a shower, pick up a pair of slippers in the bathroom, throw the clothes, shoes, and socks on your feet into the designated trash can, and then come out to gather!"

The Guards had been working on cutting their braids for four years. The Qing people were no longer as resistant and fearful as they were at the beginning. As for these big-headed soldiers, it didn't matter.

Another reason for this is that for hygiene reasons. Most of these soldiers are from poor families and their living environment after joining the army is not very clean. It is inevitable that there will be lice and fleas on their bodies. Cut off their braids and take a bath, which can eliminate these parasites to the greatest extent.

The soldier responsible for cutting his braids held big scissors and made a head look like a few clicks. We don’t need any hairstyle, just cut it short, anyway, we will shave it in a few days.

The cut braids were thrown into the bucket, and then they were cleaned and bought into the factory to make raw materials. The soldiers were driven to the next stage, the bathhouse.

"Every class comes in, you need to use soap to carefully clean it, especially the crotch, hair and feet. You have ten minutes to go, hurry up!"

The soldiers were dizzy by the series of shouts, and they took off their clothes and entered the bathhouse in a daze.

The bathhouse is extremely simple, so don’t think about showers for the time being. Although the water in the pool is not cold, it is definitely not very hot. It is obvious that ten minutes is not enough for them to take a bath.

Under the urging of the non-commissioned officer, everyone quickly wet their bodies, then put soap on each other's heads, and suddenly, black water began to flow from the ground in the bathhouse.

Ten minutes later, the soldiers who were washed up finally received their new military uniforms.

The squad leader was still shouting: "Remember, this is your training uniform. The training uniforms are spring and autumn, including a coat, a velvet jacket, a vest and shorts, velvet pants, and outer pants. What you have now got is one outfit, and the other outfit will be put into your closet later. Now, follow me back to the dormitory!"

The soldiers who returned to the dormitory were finally able to lie comfortably on the bed. After taking a shower, their bodies were obviously much more refreshed, which made it easier for the already tired soldiers to fall asleep. However, the troubles over these soldiers were far from over.

Finally, all the soldiers entered the dormitory in order and fell asleep. In the middle of the night, another copper whistle sounded soaring. The non-commissioned officers rushed into the dormitory and pulled them out of the camp bed with the squad leader. They threw their training uniforms on them and drove them out of the dormitory one by one.

On the playground, the officers had been standing tall and solemnly, standing with their hands behind their backs, and torches were everywhere. The soldiers were stunned and drove them out stupidly, and they stood up in the order of joining the camp. The officers just called out: "Whoever is dressed in a mess, pull out three times, and put on the military sticks! This is the first time this time, I just remind you. As soldiers, even if they sleep, they must be dressed neatly! If you gather at night, who will do this again, thirty military sticks!"

Can you stop making trouble? The original military uniforms of these soldiers are very different from the new military uniforms. Many soldiers have not even learned buttons. Thousands of soldiers are dressed slightly neatly, and none of them are out of ten. Suddenly, the rows of people are pressed down, and a burst of military sticks are knocked down, and everyone cries their father and mother.

The officer still shouted loudly: "Give me a moan and cry, add ten military sticks!" The voices were everywhere, and there was a silence everywhere, and only the sound of the stick hitting the butt was heard. Liu Shaoqing was quietly watching this scene in the dark, with Yang Yong, Cao Kun, Liu Feng, and even Nie Shicheng surrounded him.

"……After a while, I will instruct the officers to prepare medicine for them one by one."

Yang Yong and others nodded quietly, while Nie Shicheng looked at Liu Shaoqing. Liu Shaoqing waved his hand and left with a cold face, and suddenly turned his head and instructed: "The food must be good during this period, it doesn't matter how much it costs!"

It is like this carrots and sticks, braised pork and white flour buns, gathering at night time and meals of military sticks. After half a month, Liu Shaoqing could see the thousands of queues on the playground, although they were not neat, but they were already silent!

Over the past period of time, the veterans' drug rehabilitation work has also been carried out simultaneously.

For some soldiers who are not addicted, they are no longer addicted because they have "drug rehabilitation pills" every day. They can train with the team. Some soldiers and officers with great addiction need to further rehabilitate drugs. Moreover, because their bodies are inevitably weak during the drug rehabilitation process, they still need a recovery period. Therefore, these people cannot keep up with this group of training.

In the past half month, the investigation of those "generals" has been basically completed. The corruption rate of officers above the team is as high as 90%. As for the siege officers and the peaches, they are naturally less greedy. It’s not that they don’t want to, but that they don’t have this condition.

Corruption is a chronic disease of the Qing Dynasty. It cannot be treated now and can only be controlled. Liu Shaoqing just ordered them to return the embezzled silver. Only those who are huge and "specially bad" like Wei Rugui will submit a report to the court and sentence the house to the charge of the house to be confiscated and will never be hired. The little emperor is very skillful in using the skills of house to be searched. Aren't you greedy? OK, don't let me catch it. If you catch it, not only will you spit out the money you greedy, but you will also confiscate the money you get from a serious business.

Since the beginning of this year, Li Hongzhang has never returned to the Beiyang Minister's Office in Tianjin. He just stayed in Baoding and lived his leisurely life.

"Zhongtang, Wei Rugui has been kneeling outside for half an hour. The students thought that even if Wei Rugui was wrong, Liu Pifu did too much this time. The Shengjun, dozens of old Huai officers were sent home. Liu Shaoqing was also a little too arrogant! This is blatant, being enemies with our Beiyang and our Huai regime! Zhongtang, should we impeach him?"

The person who spoke was Yang Shixiang. In the past two years, Zhou Fu, Xue Fucheng, Sheng Xuanhuai and others have all put on errands. Now they are busy, and he is the only core aides around Lao Li.

However, Yang Shixiang's level seems to be a little different from Zhou Fu and others.

Li Hongzhang looked up at him and said lightly: "Beiyang no longer exists, and the Huai clan is old. Now it is the world of young people. Besides, they really have the evidence in hand, and the emperor has issued a clear order. What should I participate in him?"

Yang Shixiang was still waiting for it, but Li Hongzhang closed his glasses and ignored him.

"Raise your feet! Stand up straight! Don't shake it randomly!"

Company Commander Zhang Yaobing turned around in front of the recruits with his hands behind his back. The sun was shining brightly, and the soldiers were wearing training uniforms. He was wearing a tweed military uniform tightly. The big-brimmed hat was pressed low on the middle of his eyebrows, and the cold gaze exposed under the brim made every soldier dare not move, and he tried his best to lift his butt and stretch out his foot.

After a while, someone started to sway left and right.

More than 8,000 soldiers of the Huai Army were completely organized into 17 new recruit battalions. The non-commissioned officers of the Guards, such as Zhang Yaobing, are now the battalion commander of the new recruit battalion. The original officers of the Huai Army were still training and studying, while they were internship positions such as deputy platoon leader and deputy company commander here. This is something that can be crafted, and those who really can't be supported on the wall are sent home.

In Liu Shaoqing's budget, after three months of recruit training, the Guards' division can officially become an army, and then military skills training is carried out. In addition to special forces such as artillery and cavalry, and infringement battalions, six months later, it will be a ground combat force that can be used.

The vision is beautiful. But the previous training was even more difficult. The soldiers worked hard, and these guard officers under Liu Shaoqing were even more hardworking! Including Liu Shaoqing himself, he personally arrived in the army to participate in the training of recruits!

The soldiers demanded that they do the ground, and they should do it better! In the face of discipline, they treated everyone equally. Some people could not complete the training or violated the discipline, and they would knock the stars in front of them with a military stick, crying and hitting them twice.

Have you ever seen the Huai Army leading troops like this as an imperial envoy? The Huai Army was originally a rule that a small sentry officer could lie on a recliner to watch the exercise class. Xu Yifan was so kind that the direct scholars under his command did not follow the example. The living conditions of the officers and soldiers were exactly the same, and the exercise class was exactly the same.

Sometimes, the tradition of an army is inadvertently cultivated.

Chinese soldiers at this time cannot teach them modern nationalism and other things. However, these things that lead by example are subtly influenced, but they will be grateful from the bottom of their hearts.

It was so whispering that a group of soldiers had just returned from the routine cross-country run in the morning, and their faces under the military cap were all sweaty.
