"Get up, get up, don't sleep! Get up quickly!"

Tian Wei and Wang Yishou shouted, and the gong in their hands was clattering, and they walked into the grass siege where the refugees were temporarily living, urging them to get up quickly.

At this time, it was almost the middle of Mao (6 am), and a trace of white fish belly rolled in the distant horizon, and the morning light was dim, and the entire western Liaoning land still showed its outline.

After the two of them urged to drink, the refugees quickly got up, put on their clothes and shoes, and then came to a flat open space outside the pier together.

The refugees, crowded in rows, looked at the small slope in front of them with a confused and fearful look, standing upright but with a solemn expression.

Wu Liang walked over to Li Xiao, whispered a few times, and Li Xiao nodded and asked him to announce the specific arrangements.

Wu Liang had a solemn and serious expression on his face, facing the refugees, and loudly announced the various regulations that everyone in the pier must abide by in the future.

These are the rules that Li Xiao roughly formulated after discussing with Wu Liang, Tian Wei and Wang Yishou last night, requiring all personnel in the pier to abide by.

1. Everyone must get up at the hour of Mao and go to bed at the hour of Xu. (Get up at 6 am and fall asleep at 8 pm)

2. Everyone should be self-disciplined, train hard, do things actively, and strictly prohibit not obeying commands, and strictly prohibit being lazy when working corners.

3. Everyone must behave correctly, not steal or fight.

4. If you have any disputes, be sure to report to Li Xiao or Wu Liang and others, and the Shangguan sanctions will be resolved. It is strictly forbidden to bully the weak and verbal disputes will be prohibited.

After Wu Liang finished speaking the above points, he emphasized and said: "Everyone in the pier must abide by the above points. If someone violates them, he will be punished strictly. I will tell you now, so don't say that you are not prepared for what you say."

When Wu Liang saw the refugees in front of him showing a look of awe and timid expression on his face, he felt quite comfortable.

In fact, yesterday, he had some questions about Li Xiao's immediate life regulations, and he felt it would be too early. But now Wu Liang believes that Li Xiao's approach is very necessary, because if he relaxed the management of these refugees who were used to living casually from the beginning, there would definitely be many problems in the future and it would be even more difficult to manage.

These regulations were originally going to tell these refugees yesterday that they were exhausted because they were traveling for a long distance, so Li Xiao decided to officially announce them this morning.

At the same time, last night, Li Xiao also initially determined the responsibilities of each leader. Wu Liang served as the position of Qianzhai, Tian Wei served as the captain of the Chongqi, and Wang Yishou served as the captain of the Qingqi. Each person's monthly salary was doubled to 5 taels of silver.

Wu Liang retreated aside, Tian Wei walked to the middle and continued to shout to the refugees: "Below, except for the soldiers who had read the name left, the rest of the people followed Wu Zan into the pier and accepted the relevant arrangements."

Soon, only the 25 refugee soldiers stayed in the open space, and the other refugee families followed Wu Liang into the pier.

According to the plan agreed yesterday, Wu Liang divided the 22 strong women into two teams, each with 11 people, and each selected a healthy woman as the leader. One of them was responsible for the daily kitchen food, and the other was responsible for cleaning and cleaning inside and outside the pier, cleaning and cleaning the debris, etc.

Tian Wei and others breathed a sigh of relief and finally did not have to clean up themselves every day. But despite this, Li Xiao still asked all the soldiers to clean their clothes themselves, and even if they had family members, they could not wash them on their behalf. Li Xiao decided to strengthen and maintain this habit. After all, if the troops go out to fight in the future, it is very important to keep good personal hygiene habits.

The remaining old and weak will be arranged by Wu Liang to see if they should cooperate with the plasterer who is building the house as a small worker, or cooperate with the cleaning team to clean up.

It is obvious that the workload of these soldiers' families is very relaxed now, because so many people are not needed to do things at all. But Li Xiao doesn't want them to be idle. Even if there are no more work arrangements for the time being, they must also develop the habit of self-reliance through doing things. Under his hands, idle people who do nothing are never allowed, unless they are completely lost in their ability to work, otherwise Li Xiao's precious food will not be eaten in vain.

Soon, the steamed buns and dough cakes in the kitchen were steamed. Li Xiao gave each soldier's family member a black dough cake for breakfast, while each soldier gave two big white buns with meat filling.

When each soldier got two large and thick white-fried pork-fried pork buns with fragrant fresh pork inside, everyone's face was filled with surprise and incredible expressions.

We actually had meat to eat!

Unexpectedly, even though I came to this remote Buguidun, I still had a beautiful thing that I could not even think about eating meat!

Eating meat is a distant and ethereal legend for these refugee soldiers.

But now, the fresh, delicious, juiced and oily pork in the steamed buns clearly tells me that this is not a dream, but a real reality.

Many soldiers shed tears silently, and some even cried so hard that they could hardly control themselves.

Every soldier was ruthless in his heart. Lord Li Baihu treated us with such kindness as a mountain, so we sold our cheap life to Lord Li!

Isn’t it like a pig or dog to receive such kindness without knowing how to repay others?

Li Xiao smiled and greeted each soldier's gratitude and tears, and then sent them back the look of trust and encouragement.

After breakfast, the training officially began.

Li Xiao asked the eight whistle cavalry, including Tian Wei and Wang Yishou, to form a team with the 25 refugees. He told them that from now on, they would start training again according to Li Xiao's own method.

Tian Wei and others muttered in their hearts, but seeing Li Xiao's serious expression, no one dared to object to the veteran whistleblower cavalry who followed Li Xiao from Zhongtun Station.

Looking at the 33 soldiers standing silently in front of him, Li Xiao, who was standing with a military stick in his waist and his chest was erect, and a passionate expression appeared on his face. He shouted to the soldiers: "Everyone, from today on, you are all members of my Li Xiao army! I, Li Xiao, ask you to be not afraid of hardship, train hard, and develop solid skills. The world is not peaceful now, and you have practiced well. First, you can protect your family, second, you can protect the people, and make military achievements for the country and fight for your own fame! If there is a conquered battle in the future, I, Li Xiao, will never be stingy to reward you! However, if someone is afraid of fighting and violates military law, I, Li Xiao, will definitely be punished severely. I, beheaded and my family will be exiled!"

Li Xiao's words of kindness and power made every soldier shudder in his heart while looking forward to his future military achievements.

Li Xiao had stricter requirements and disciplines for the soldiers, but now everything is in the beginning and the military and laws have not been fully formulated. Li Xiao's opening speech can make these soldiers composed of scattered refugees alert and restrain themselves.

Next, Li Xiao first started the most basic training in standing military posture.

Li Xiao asked the soldiers to line up in two rows. The soldiers had never received such training. The two rows stood crookedly and tightly. Many soldiers showed a look of ashamed on their faces, and they felt that they were standing in a mess. Fortunately, Li Xiao did not scold them now.

Li Xiao, in his previous life, received military training in college and still remembered the teachings of the instructors at that time. He remembered that the same was true for these college students. The team stood in a mess, but the instructor had a way. He did not deliberately ask them to arrange a good formation and array immediately, but asked each of them to start training from the military posture.

Li Xiao remembered the instructor's specific requirements for standing posture at that time. Looking back, the instructor's shouting orders was still as if he was in front of him.

"Everyone has noticed that the heels are close together, and the toes are separated by about half a step. The legs are straight, the lower abdomen is slightly retracted, the upper body is straight, and slightly lean forward. The arms are drooped and naturally stretched. The thumb is attached to the second section of the index finger, and the middle finger is attached to the trousers. The head should be straight, the neck should be straight, the jaw should be slightly retracted, and the eyes should be straight ahead. Yes, that's it."

Li Xiao made a demonstration with himself and stood in a standard military posture.

Li Xiao explained the specific action requirements to the soldiers with as simple and easy-to-understand words as possible. Of course, he did not say it in detail like the instructor, because the instructor at that time taught a group of college students, and he was facing a group of standard illiterate ones.

The soldiers tried hard to imitate his movements, but the effect was still terrible. The performances, including old whistleblowers such as Tian Wei and King Yishou, were not satisfactory.

When the women in the cleaning team passed by, they couldn't help but cover their mouths and snicker when they saw their funny looks.

As an instructor, Li Xiao did not show any irritability. He looked focused and carefully corrected them one by one.

"You stand up straight, don't shake your legs, look ahead!"

"Don't just stand up, just stand up, yes, that's it."

"You can't tilt your head, keep it straight."

"Put your hands in the edges of your pants, right, remember."

Some people's reaction was really slow. Li Xiao taught him several times but failed to stand up. He bluntly knocked the person with a military stick a few times, so that these people could gain a better memory in the pain.

It is strange that after being beaten like this, the military posture of the beaten people seemed to improve immediately. When they were beaten, the soldiers responded to their heads with embarrassment, showing a self-deprecating smile, and then tried to correct them.

In fact, in the training of the Ming army, various punishment measures were very strict. For example, in the elite Qi family army, if the soldiers were not well trained, those cruel and terrible punishment tricks, such as cutting ears, cutting noses, and inserting arrows to the camp, are not a joke.

However, the training of the Ming army in the garrison is now handled, so the harsh training methods of the Qi family army have certainly been abolished.

Li Xiao canceled these cruel and inhumane punishment methods. He thought that if the number of people trained in the future, rules must be set. When punishing, at most, only military sticks can be used to train, and the traditional punishment methods that harm the bodies of the Ming army's soldiers cannot be used.

Given that the bodies of these soldiers had not fully recovered, Li Xiao asked these soldiers to stop standing in military posture every half an hour, and after resting for more than ten minutes, he began to stand again.

On the empty field, Li Xiao silently stared at the soldiers who were also standing silently in front of him, and a faint smile gradually appeared on his face.

When it was lunch, Li Xiao announced that the morning training was over.

The intensity of this training is indeed very large for these refugee soldiers who are still in the recovery stage. Many soldiers are so tired that their legs are stiff and their faces are pale. Each soldier finds that their legs are as heavy as lead and they are not obedient at all. There are also a few people who are trembling and want to walk with their legs, but they fall to the ground.

Li Xiao saw it silently, but he had no intention of reducing the intensity of the training.

Because time is endless, Li Xiao has too many enemies to fight. Whether it is the Jurchen Tatars in the north or the mainland bandits he will encounter in the future, he will not give him too much time to develop freely. In such an environment with many powerful enemies, Li Xiao has no reason to relax.

Furthermore, if a soldier can't stand the most ordinary standing posture and kill the enemy in battle, he will stop talking about it.

Of course, the hard training of the warriors can be compensated by a good meal that is higher than others.

At noon, the soldiers' meals were a large bowl of noodles with fragrant and hot meat sauce. Each soldier had a very good appetite and quickly swept it away.

During the afternoon training, Li Xiao found that the soldiers were much more focused and hardworking than in the morning.

Li Xiao sighed that the training method of giving kindness and power is more conquering to people's hearts if you have hard work.

Soon, by the end of the afternoon training, everyone's military posture was much better than in the morning.

Many soldiers began to look confident on their faces, and they could fully feel their true progress. Old whistle cavalry with military foundation, such as Tian Wei and King Yishou, performed much better than these refugee soldiers.

Li Xiao was secretly happy: If you train for a few more days, these soldiers will definitely be able to stand up in a standard military posture.

In the evening, the day's training plan was completed.

The soldiers lined up, led by Tian Wei, King Yishou to take a bath in the river. After taking a bath, they sat in the open space according to the position of the team during training, waiting for dinner.

Li Xiao deliberately created a habit of maintaining collective action anytime and anywhere, hoping to subtly transplant collectivist ideas into the hearts of each soldier without any wavering. After a while, he arrived on the battlefield. Compared with personal force, collective cooperation and unity are the real strength and the key to victory and defeat.

For this supper, each soldier also got the same Roujiamo as in the morning, but the meat inside was reduced a lot. After all, it was just a rest at night and there was no physical energy consumption.

Li Xiao fulfilled his promise to let each soldier eat three taels of meat and two kilograms of rice and grain every day.

At the middle of the Xu hour, another gong sounded "Dangdang" and the refugees were silent in the grass surrounding area where the refugees temporarily lived.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse. Li Xiao stood alone in the viewing hall, looking around. The vast mountains, villages, fields, and the coasts that seem to be on the horizon are as small and distant as if they are on the horizon. The cool breeze blows on his face and the moon shines, making people feel refreshed and extremely dignified.

Perhaps, in a few days, when these refugees get used to living in the pen, they should visit someone.

Li Xiao was sure that this person should have some practical help.
Chapter completed!
