Chapter 7: Establishing Prestige

  The sky was still dark, and the bugler blew his horn. Some old soldiers felt strange as soon as they heard it, so early, who made everyone restless and actually blew the horn.

  But someone said: Hurry up, hurry up, Lian Zhang who just arrived yesterday said that those who don't get out of bed at 5 o'clock and arrive on time will be punished.

  Very reluctantly arrived at the playground, saw that the team had already gathered in front, neatly lined up, and the new company commander was already standing in the front row.

  Originally wanted to blend in, but didn't want to be caught by the company commander right away and asked to stand at the front of the troops.

  For a moment, after the officer on duty finished calling the roll, the company commander held his whip and came to the front of the troops, saying: "Yesterday, I told you all that I am not a qualified soldier, without military discipline, without military vigilance. Today's test proved it, look at these more than a dozen brothers, ten minutes after the bugler sounded the horn, they still arrived late, how can this be a qualified soldier? If the horn just now was not the bugler's horn, but the enemy's attack, I think the heads of these more than a dozen brothers would have been cut off by the enemy to claim credit.

  "Now Platoon Leader announces the punishment decision. Deputy Platoon Leader, here it is for you. The last ten brothers who were late, immediately run 10 laps around the playground for me."

  Although scolding and punishment were very common in ancient military camps, the main officials always emphasized that punishment should not be blamed on the masses. A case of punishing more than ten people for breakfast was relatively rare.

  A man in his thirties looked rather disdainful, and cursed behind his back: "Turtle son, frame the old master, this is so cruel, actually making me run."

  The voice was not loud, but Yang Xing happened to hear it and immediately turned around, glaring at the crowd and saying: "Who is calling me old? Come out!"

  Everyone was shocked upon hearing this, and they did not expect that Lian Zhang had overheard them. They also did not expect that Lian Zhang would take advantage of the situation to make a show, and everyone immediately had the intention of watching the excitement.

  He asked three times in a row and no one responded, so he snorted: "This guy who dares to call himself my master doesn't seem to be any kind of hero or good fellow, looks like just a turtle with its head shrunk back."

  He immediately asked everyone: "Since no one admits it, Deputy Company Commander, then these ten people will be locked up for a day and will not be given food or drink during the detention period."

  Some timid ones immediately stood up and reported: "Report to the company commander, it's not a small person."

  Yang Xing simply looked at these few people with a cold eye and said to the crowd: "Is there anyone else who wants to admit their mistakes and reform themselves?"

  These soldiers hesitated for a moment, and finally 5 or 6 of them walked out, one after another admitting their mistake, acknowledging that they were not the ones who cursed, leaving only three disheveled old rascals standing there with an air of indifference, staring at Yang Xing.

  The deputy commander saw Yang Xing confronting the three gang members and hastily walked over, whispering in Yang Xing's ear: "Commander, these three are from the Elder Brother Society. I've been wanting to take care of them, but you know that since the revolution just started, the Elder Brother Society has a lot of influence, so I'm powerless."

  Yang Xing listened, but didn't respond, staring fixedly at the three soldiers. One of them had a deep scar on his face, clearly a man of the jianghu. The other two were also shabbily dressed. He immediately asked: "The battalion commander has ordered you to be confined, do you obey or not?"

  These three old comrades saw the deputy company commander whispering a few words in Yang Xing's ear, and immediately understood that the company commander had already figured out their identities. Now he actually asked if they were convinced, thinking that the company commander had softened up, and immediately relaxed his tone: "When we gathered, we arrived a few minutes late and were punished by the company commander to run laps. How can there be such logic? We don't agree."

  Yang Xing looked at the three of them carefully, somewhat puzzled, and shook his head: "In ancient times, there were cases where people were beheaded for being late. Today, when the assembly bell rang, you all made excuses for yourselves without reason, not only disobeying orders but also defying your superiors. It's really a pity."

  The three of them listened and were shocked, saying: "The officer relies on his power to discipline us soldiers, it's really hard for us to obey sincerely."

  Yang Xing took off his overcoat and said to the three of them, "Since that's the case, all three of you come at me together. If you can knock me down, I'll exempt you from punishment. If not, then get out, get out of the artillery company!"

  The three of them were shocked, never expecting that a company commander who was less than twenty years old would dare to take on the three of them alone. After all, these three had been in society for a long time and had seen bloodshed.

  They immediately cheered up and the three of them rushed forward together, wanting to settle this hateful company commander on the spot.

  Taking on these three thugs alone, Yang Xing was still quite confident. After all, Yang Xing was originally tall and strong, with a powerful build. During his time in military school, he had even single-handedly faced off against Wang Mingzhang and Li Jiayu's joint attack for over twenty rounds.

  You should know that in a military school for four years, all kinds of capture and grappling techniques are practiced, and it's usually difficult for three or five people to get close.

  Moreover, since crossing over, Yang Xing has seen and experienced a lot more, including karate and American boxing, which he had applied during his fights with Wang Mingzhang and Li Jiayu. He was confident in dealing with these three thugs.

  Three men suddenly rushed forward, Yang Xing took a step back, dodged and countered with a Black Tiger Heart-Striking Fist, heavily hitting one of the thugs, who let out a loud "Ah" as he was knocked flying, landing heavily on the ground, dazed and unconscious.

  Unexpectedly, before they could even face each other, one of their companions was knocked unconscious to the ground. The remaining two immediately launched a fierce attack, with one of them being extremely vicious. How could Yang Xing give them this opportunity? He immediately pounced on the scar-faced man, using both hands in a flurry of continuous attacks.

  The scar-faced man also seemed to be a skilled fighter, but after being subjected to a fierce attack, he was flustered and panting in resistance.

  Although he was called several times on his body, he was not hit in the middle, so although he was in a sorry state, he still remained undefeated.

  But Yang Xing felt victory was in sight, not to mention anything else, a exchange of hearts, although the scar-faced man's movements were extremely fast, but his strength was clearly insufficient, fighting was just a trick, a round of shouting, and he was already panting, obviously due to excessive drinking and womanizing.

  He immediately changed his way, striking solidly, the scar-faced man couldn't resist, and was repeatedly beaten back several steps. Finally, Yang Xing seized the opportunity and struck a solid blow to the face, knocking him out.

  Yang Xing solved the two in an instant, and the other was immediately frightened, not even waiting to take action, he immediately knelt down on the ground, begging for mercy, and said that just now it was Knife Scarface scolding people.

  With great joy, without even looking at the three of them, he ordered the deputy company commander to take them into custody and then came before everyone, saying: "These three are examples. Those who do not obey orders, regardless of their number, will be subject to military law."

  Everyone initially thought that Yang Xing was just a scholar who understood some foreign affairs and could operate cannons, but they did not expect his martial arts skills to be so high, and were shocked, unanimously convinced and impressed.

  Looking into the eyes of his admirers, Yang Xing asked: "The two moves that Brother Liu just revealed, do you brothers want to learn them?"

  Everyone heard it and immediately shouted in surprise.

  Seeing this, Yang Xing said to the crowd: "What people say about Northern Shaolin and Southern Wudang, that you have to worship some great master to learn kung fu, are all nonsense spouted by Jianghu people. What our brotherhood knows is just some military grappling techniques, some Tai Chi fist, it's nothing but ordinary kung fu."

  "Some people asked in confusion: 'Lian Zhang, how can I practice to reach your level? No, even half of your level.'"

  Yang Xing was overjoyed and said to the crowd, "All the skills I know were taught by my military school teachers. Since you brothers also want to learn some martial arts, from today on, I'll lead everyone in training together. In three or four years, although it's not certain that you'll reach my level of skill, ordinary men won't be able to get close to you."

  It is hereby announced that from today on, the artillery regiment will conduct a large-scale military training exercise. All platoon and squad leaders will be evaluated within one month, and those who fail to meet the standards will be ordered to retire.

  At dawn, a group of people rushed to the designated hillside. Upon arrival, they found that about ten or more people had not arrived on time. The clerk was immediately instructed to record the names of those who did not arrive on schedule.

  On the way back, Yang Xing had the soldiers undergo formation training to maintain the overall unity of the team. Thinking back to his past life when he participated in military training, didn't everyone run while shouting slogans and singing military songs? Yang Xing took out a familiar and catchy military song from his past life to boost everyone's interest.

  Then comes squad drill, bayonet practice and rifle practice.

  In the meantime, Yang Xing disassembled the training action, explained it, found soldiers who performed well to let everyone imitate, and corrected the soldiers' training actions.

  In the evening, everyone takes turns reading newspapers without a doubt. Some literate students take turns reading newspapers, and after finishing reading the newspaper, everyone discusses it together.

  After that, they were divided into two groups. One group was taught by Lian Neiwen to recognize characters and form sentences. The other group was led by Yang Xing himself, who recruited class leaders and people with primary school education or above to explain the structure of small cannons, maintenance, and repair.

  After struggling for a month, in the final exam, about thirty people were eliminated.

  Those who were washed out were mainly some soldiers or those with poor physical condition, unsuitable for military training. If they were not cleared out, they would inevitably occupy the army's establishment, seriously affecting the army's combat effectiveness.

  But an unexpected good phenomenon appeared, those who stayed behind trained desperately and were proud of themselves, as if they were superior to others.

  As a result, a strange problem arose, and all the troops were desperately expanding their forces, with more than 30 people being eliminated from the artillery company.

  Tao Zekun was furious when he heard that about one-sixth of the troops were unfit, and had Yang Xing called over to severely criticize him for half a day.

  After seeing the captain venting out, Yang Xing said slowly: "Captain, you say killing people is an easy thing?"

  Hearing such a strange question, Tao Zejun stared at Yang Xing and said: "People are not beasts, how can killing people be a light matter."

  Yang Xing saw the situation and said calmly: "Comrade, we are revolutionary soldiers, shouldering the heavy responsibility of defending our country and maintaining border stability. Our mission is to kill the enemy, those gang members, apart from harming civilians, when facing strong enemies, will they not disperse at a single call?

  "Some who are weak in shoulder and cannot bear the weight on their back, can they bravely kill the enemy?"

  Unexpectedly, Yang Xing actually drilled through this hole. Tao Zejun had no choice but to say: "What you said also makes sense. Since that's the case, let's see what kind of tiger wolf team you can train later."

  Yang Xing was overjoyed and said, "Commander, since that's the case, let's take a look at the supplementary quota. This time, there were 40 people who didn't qualify and were eliminated from the front and back. Can we supplement new soldiers?"

  Tao Ze Kun immediately fired back, "You go recruit soldiers yourself, I won't bother with you anymore. Otherwise, I'll get you a few dozen unqualified ones and see how you like it. You should know that among the third batch of students, only you graduated early. If you say that I, as your teacher, have wronged you, then how can I face other students?"

  He saw an opportunity and personally went to the streets of Chengdu to select more than 40 ordinary citizens who were strong and capable but had no work.

  Thus, the originally slack artillery regiment initially reached the appearance of a modern army, and the military appearance was refreshed. The morale was restored, and although it was still inevitable to make some noise when marching in step, the soldiers had begun to enjoy that neat and pleasant sound.

  After a month of reorganization, the artillery company had more than 200 people and over 60 horses. The entire company was reorganized into six platoons, with four artillery platoons, one communications and logistics support platoon, and one training platoon. Nearly 20 squad leaders were replaced with new personnel, giving the artillery company a completely new look.
