Start: Datang Wanli a lonely city

Chapter 955 The Furnace
  Huang Ashan and his group of [-] students got up and finished their housekeeping work, but they did not immediately go out to assemble outside on the campus.

Instead, they returned to the hot kang one by one, crossed their feet comfortably, kept their spine upright, opened their shoulders slightly, and closed their eyes naturally.

He actually put on a posture of sitting cross-legged and preparing to practice.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

With more than [-] students, undergoing high-intensity study and training under such difficult conditions, the pressure on the body is too great.

After taking this into consideration, without much hesitation, the team taught these students the "Mozi Five Elements Breathing Method" that Hu Biao learned during the Western Han Banchao mission.

Even when Ban Dingyuan taught Hu Biao this part, he deliberately told him: The law should not be taught lightly.

But currently, such a nation has encountered a huge change that has not happened in three thousand years. It is not an exaggeration to say that there is a danger of national annihilation and annihilation.

And if these students are all sparks of fire after completing their studies, any one of them can have a huge impact on this nation.

Therefore, Ban Chao must have agreed with Hu Biao if he knew about it.

Based on the above ideas, Hu Biao and the others taught this method which is relatively simple to get started with, but the effect is quite good, and has achieved considerable results.

Huang Acan and other students were seen sitting cross-legged.

Immediately, he tried hard to calm down his mind and began to practice hard during the period around dawn when the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was more abundant.

Thanks to Hu Biao and others, they just used the method of inputting inner energy to guide them to get started quickly one by one.

When the small bronze bell in the valley was rang again by Master Fengrui.

Huang Acan had just completed two cycles of inner energy circulation, and for a moment he felt that his whole body was indescribably refreshed and full of strength.

The sleepiness that had originally been fashionable when I woke up was now gone.

But in terms of age, Huang Ashan, who was already considered a middle-aged greasy man, had no time to pay attention to such a situation.

The moment the bell rang again, Huang Acan used the shortest time to finish his work; then he shouted "Quick, quick" to his companions in the same cellar.

The man had already jumped up from the hot bed, put on his boots and rushed out of the warm cellar.

At this time, one could see dozens of them on the side of the valley. Figures like Huang Acan rushed out one after another from the underground cellars lined up all the way.

This is because on a school field a hundred meters away, among the three military instructors including Fengrui, Lao Hei, and Shi Polu, who were standing upright, instructor Shi Polu was counting loudly.

Now the number in his mouth has reached 112.
  When instructor Shi Polu counted to 180, those who still did not run in front of them and lined up would be punished by three canes.

Because no one was willing to expose their backs in the ice and snow and receive a few blows; so when instructor Shi Polu counted the number in his mouth to 157, the last student also arrived.

Compared with yesterday, the result was three digits faster.

It's a pity that these three military instructors didn't seem to notice their improved performance; there was not even a smile on their faces, which were even colder than the weather.

After everyone finished counting, instructor Lao Hei shouted at the top of his lungs: "Let's go~"

After saying that, the three of them started to take the lead in running in the ankle-deep snow that had been carefully cleaned yesterday.

Upon seeing this, a group of students quickly took steps and started running after the three of them.

Next, they need to run a distance of ten miles. If they can finish the run within 20 minutes, their results will be considered excellent and they can eat one more chicken in the morning.

If you can finish the race within 22 minutes, your result will only be considered as passing, but you will still be eligible for breakfast.

If it exceeds such a time, then go hungry.

Huang Acan didn't dare to think about eating one more chicken, because to be able to pass the test was to satisfy him with all his strength.

However, even so, according to Fengrui and three other military instructors, this still took care of them.

After a while, each of them had to carry thirty kilograms of weight on their backs when running, but the time standard was still the same.

In the following time, Huang Ashan began to run hard according to the breathing frequency of one exhalation for every two steps and an inhalation for every two steps taught by the military instructors.

After running about five miles, he felt extremely difficult.

He was breathing heavily like an old cow pulling a cart, and it seemed that fire was spitting out of his nostrils with every breath. It was clearly in the ice and snow, but there was already a layer of fine beads of sweat on his forehead and back.

The moving legs were as heavy as lead.

what to do? Of course I gritted my teeth and kept running.

Because in almost a month, even in the weather with heavy snow, he still continued to run ten miles cross-country without stopping. He had already learned one thing:
  People are all forced out, as long as you grit your teeth and persevere, keep running.

After you have overcome this difficulty, you will become more relaxed in the future.

Sure enough, it was the same. With Huang Ashan's persistence, it suddenly seemed as if something had been pierced. His breathing became smoother and his legs became stronger.

But when he had reached a distance of more than eight miles and was not far from the valley after a circle, he saw something out of the corner of his eye and turned around and started running.

no way! Thanks to the respect of the adults at Xuange Camp, he served as a squad leader among the students.

There are twelve people in a team, and usually not everything is considered as a whole. This is also the case during the morning cross-country run.

Even if he passed the cross-country running, but someone else in the team was late and failed, the entire team of twelve people also did not have breakfast.

Just now, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Zhang Chang in the team, a man from Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Because he is a scholar with no strength, his body bones are originally weaker than others; now his physical strength is probably completely exhausted, his steps are very staggering when running, and he has reached his limit at first glance.

Without giving it much thought, Huang Ashan stepped forward with Zhou Tong, another man from the Central Plains Province who was said to have been a barber. The two of them each held one of Zhang Chang's arms, preparing to run with him.

This is not the first time this has happened. Zhang Chang, a scholar, is still polite as usual.

With an apology on his face, he said: "Thank you, Brother Huang and Brother Zhang, I have dragged everyone down again today."

As usual, Huang Ashan cursed: "Shut up, we are all like-minded brothers, no one is a burden; stop talking and keep running~"

This Lao Guang was not lying. Indeed, he never looked down on the other party, let alone regarded the other party as a burden.

It's just that the other party's family obviously owns several shops and a big house in the city, and there are thousands of acres of fertile land in the countryside, but they are unwilling to be reduced to such a dignified flower garden, so they come here to endure hardships with them.

This kind of thing deserves the utmost respect from Huang Ashan, a guy with a mud-legged background.

In this way, after supporting and dragging Zhang Chang, Huang Acan started running with more difficulty, gritting his teeth and insisting on continuing to move towards the destination.

Say it! It's just training, why can't we just take classes in the room? Why should we do this?

Perhaps it is because Lord Hu Yitong said that it will be a long process to bring this troubled nation back to its prosperity during the Han and Tang Dynasties.

Without a healthy body and a will stronger than a rock, how can we persevere to the end?
  Therefore, such sharp instructors have only one purpose for tossing them every day: in this training, it is like a melting pot to reshape them, brutalize their bodies and strengthen their will.

Even with such a furnace-like training process, the adults at Xuan Ge Camp did not force it.

In the middle of the valley where they lived, there was a wooden table with at least three thousand taels of white silver bricks placed on it.

No matter who doesn't want to suffer this, just go and get a hundred taels of travel expenses and leave.

However, as of this morning, almost a month has passed, and not a single silver brick is missing on that table.

Because scholars like Zhang Chang made a vicious oath in their hearts:
  The sages have said that if you hear the truth in the morning, you will die in the evening. Even if he is exhausted and dies here, he will not go back to be that kind of ignorant landowner who only knows how to eat, drink and squeeze his legs...

******
  Fortunately, after a total of 21 minutes and 31 seconds, Huang Acan and Zhou Tong dragged Zhang Chang, and the three of them successfully ran into the valley together. So far, their entire team, twelve people in the group, have all passed the test.

Don't wait for them to cheer, at the first moment.

All the personnel who had arrived were driven back to the cellar by Fengrui and three other military instructors like ducks; they quickly wiped off the sweat on their bodies and put on a set of dry clothes.

Don't look at Fengrui and the other three, they always have dead faces. No matter how good they are, there is no smile on their faces.

There were a total of [-] students, but no one hated them. Instead, they only had respect from the bottom of their hearts.

Not only do they understand that the instructors' strict requirements on them are actually for their own good.

Everything is based on the concept of "sweat more in peacetime and bleed less in wartime", which is quite reasonable.

And night after night, when they woke up accidentally, they would see these military instructors and carefully check whether they had covered themselves with quilts.

A sharp mouth but a tofu heart is their truest evaluation of these military instructors who may be younger than themselves.

After changing into dry clothes, Huang Acan felt inexplicably better.

To be more precise, when they left the underground cellar with their jobs, except for Feng Wanzhen, the only female student, the smiles on the faces of all the other male students were now brighter.

That's because they will have dinner soon and they can meet instructor Meimei.

This is a beautiful instructor who is [-]% similar to the God of Wealth that Huang Acan met once nineteen years ago. In addition to teaching everyone arithmetic, accounting and other courses.

She is also the person in charge of the kitchen, leading the students who take turns to cook to cook for everyone every day.

What makes everyone like her so much is that instructor Meimei is very beautiful.

Especially in this kind of environment where almost all the people are gentlemen, and even mice are males; the beautiful instructor with a delicate face, graceful walk and charming charm, everyone usually looks at it and feels a lot better.

In addition, the cooking skills are also very good. These students come from all over the world, whether they like spicy food or not, and whatever their taste is.

Every one of them was completely conquered by instructor Meimei's cooking skills.

But the most important thing is that instructor Meimei is not only beautiful, but also very kind-hearted. Which sick or injured person has not eaten the small dishes she made by herself?

It can be said that the patient meal, which is full of care, warms the heart when you eat it.

Based on the above two points, instructor Meimei can now be said to be a goddess among the gentlemen and students.

If there is something that makes people feel inadequate about Instructor Meimei, it is that there are many good men here who have not yet married, but she is very ambiguous with her brother-in-law, Mr. Hu Yitong.

However, Mr. Hu Yitong seemed to have a treacherous heart but no courage, and a somewhat inhuman attitude.

Thinking of this for a moment made many students sigh with regret; they also had some resentment in their hearts towards Master Hu Yitong.

Of course, another instructor in Xuan Ge Camp, Ali, is also the goddess in everyone's hearts.

Compared to Instructor Meimei, Instructor Ali doesn't have the charm and femininity and doesn't know how to cook. However, his appearance is quite exquisite, his figure is petite and cute, and his speech is gentle and gentle.

It can also be said that between the two of them, the beautiful and beautiful instructors, each is good at winning.

Instructor Ali usually teaches everyone about the knowledge of raising and treating war horses, cattle and sheep, etc., which will be very practical in everyone's actual operations in the future.

Similarly, Instructor Ali also has some things that are slightly criticized.

That is, both Feng Wanzhen and Feng Wanzhen seemed to have some interest in instructor Huang Erpang.

But that fat instructor Huang Er is just like Mr. Hu Yitong, he is also a thief with a thief heart but no courage, which gives people the feeling of being a pearl...

The breakfast was very rich, and instructor Meimei was still so beautiful and charming.

Just after finishing breakfast, the moment they started washing the dishes for themselves, the smiling faces of all the students instinctively turned serious.

The reason is simple. In the next period of time today, they will begin an astonishingly intense study session.

After returning to the cellar and putting down the dishes, they first used various tools to clean up the snow in the school grounds.

Then on the school grounds, on the ground that was frozen as hard as rock, he began to behave like a little soldier, learning various formations and tactical movements, constantly climbing and rolling.

It’s no big deal that originally clean clothes will soon become extremely dirty.

The key point is that in the biting cold wind, even if everyone's heads, faces and palms were coated with a layer of lard, they still suffered from frostbite and large and small wounds.

This kind of process is not something that a southerner like Huang Acan can bear, but even a native of the capital like Wang Laosan can find it quite painful.

But in such a difficult environment, everyone still had no complaints and continued to persevere.

All the reasons for perseverance are in the words of several military instructors from Fengrui:
  If you want to make flower growers rise again in a time when China is about to sink and it is extremely gloomy, it can be done easily by writing a few articles.

You must have your own gun to fight and fight for your life.

However, it is definitely not possible to fight alone, you must train a group of elite soldiers; and if you want to train a group of decent elite soldiers, how can you do it if you don't understand the hardships and skills involved?

Based on this, I won’t say anything and just practice to death.

From now on, I can also say to my soldiers: Back then, I also practiced this way...

The difficult outdoor training finally stopped after ten o'clock in the morning, because from this time on, everyone can finally go indoors with a warm stove to learn indoor courses.

After changing their clothes and entering the wooden house, Huang Acan and others became more and more serious.

The frostbite on the head, face, and palms soon became itchy and painful in the warm temperature of the wooden house. They were still trivial things that were not worth mentioning.

The key is that their indoor courses are a bit too tight.

In addition to the subjects responsible for the two goddesses of Wealth and Ali, others include and are not limited to:

AT instructor's "Military Surveying and Mapping and Systems" and "Mechanical Drawing"; instructor Yang Dongli's "Game Theory", "International Relations", and "Foreign Affairs and Communication".

Instructor Hu Yitong’s military strategy, tactics, command, ideological construction, etc.

Instructor Huang Erpang's "Wild Survival", "Military Investigation Skills", "Unrestricted Warfare" and other scout knowledge.

Instructor Lao She's "Ballistic Calculation", "Infantry and Artillery Coordination" and other artillery techniques.

Instructor Hanjiang taught how to feed chickens and ducks with earthworms, how to cultivate high-quality seeds, how to use soil fertilizers and pesticides to increase grain production, etc.

Instructor Xu Feng’s electricity...

Because time is limited and there is too much content to be taught, the instructors are simply unable to teach these people in a simple and in-depth manner, slowly and little by little.

It can only be taught like a duck, and the content and speed are quite amazing.

Even for these courses, relevant booklets will be distributed in the future so that Huang Acan and others can study and review by themselves in the future.

But under such intense teaching, the pressure on them reached an alarming level.

So much so that even if the God of Wealth supplemented their nutrition in various ways, each of these students lost weight at an alarming rate.

Fortunately, as they become thinner, their bodies become stronger. The key is that their eyes are getting brighter day by day.

It's like being continuously forged in this big melting pot, from pieces of pig iron to fine steel.
