Chapter 4: Training Soldiers

  The total number of people is four hundred and three, Huang Jinshan temporarily appointed his more experienced squad leader to act as the company commander, mainly responsible for helping new recruits learn military knowledge. "Huang Shang", do you still remember that year's Ai Yi Literature Network? Ai Yi Literature Network has been beautifully revamped and launched, with no ads throughout the site, returning a clean land to you!!!

  The Northeast Army's military training, Hu Zhiyong couldn't help but burst out laughing. He said to Huang Jishan: "Come on, today I'll be the instructor for a day, and I hope you remember how to lead troops and train them. Fall in!"

  Four hundred men quickly formed into three teams, with three companies standing upright and proudly holding their weapons, waiting for the young master to give a speech before training.

  "You, the first step is to learn queue, capture enemy, tactics, physical ability. The main training is single soldier tactics, including: prone position: holding gun prone, gunning down; movement posture: low crawling, high crawling, lateral crawling, high lateral crawling, rolling in!"

  Hu Zhiyong spoke as a long spear was demonstrating to the soldiers. Especially the modern military salute and movements, suddenly stunned Huang Jishan's men.

  After half a day of talking, no one listened to a single sentence. Hu Zhiyong knew that his actions had scared everyone away. Huang Jishan shouted loudly: "Report!"

  "Fall in! Speak!" Hu Zhiyong gave a crisp order to Huang Jingshan.

  "Master, please train me alone and let me be in charge of everyone's training from now on!" Huang Jinshan was extremely excited in his heart. He was interested in the new master's set of combat training tactics, which were much better than what he had learned at Baoding Military Academy.

  "Alright!" Hu Zhiyong faced everyone: "Remember every move I make and see how your squad leader learns."

  The whole morning passed in such a gathering. At noon when lunch was served, Huang Jingshan excitedly asked: "Young master, show everyone your marksmanship."

  "Want to see?"

  "Think!" everyone shouted loudly.

  "Alright, the Han Yang rifle has six rounds of ammunition, and the revolver's cartridge case comes in two types: 10 rounds or 20 rounds. - You can throw your rice bowl up into the sky with all your might, I'll shoot sixteen bullets from my rifle and pistol!" Hu Zhiyong examined his guns, giving a demonstration to his subordinates on how to disassemble them.

  "Young master, I really can't tell that you're an old hand at playing with guns!" Huo Feng's suspicions grew heavier and he couldn't help but ask.

  "That's it, maybe he was a god of guns in his previous life!" Hu Zhiyong laughed and picked up the gun, saying: "Begin!"

  Huang Jinshan perhaps wanted to see Hu Zhiyong's true skills, so he deliberately gave a signal with his eyes to his subordinates. Everyone together threw their bowls into the air, and Hu Zhiyong sneered: "Cunning big brother, you can't hold me back!"

  "Bang! Bang! Bang!" Six rifle bullets were fired, and a box of guns was quickly drawn from the waist. After a burst of clanging sounds, sixteen scattered bowls were shattered and fell to the ground.

  "Every shot hits the mark, impressive! Impressive!" Huang Jinshan knelt down on one knee: "Young master, please accept me as your apprentice!"

  "Get up!" Hu Zhiyong helped Huang Jingshan up, facing everyone and said: "Within three months, if anyone can't do this, get out! A qualified soldier cannot make every shot count, it's a betrayal of the weapon in his hand!"

  "Master, we only have that little ammunition left. What will we do when it's all gone?" The steward, Hu Da, said with a heavy heart: "One bullet can be exchanged for two catties of wheat, how much silver is that going to cost us?"

  "Don't worry, the Northeast is now in a mess, and there are many scattered soldiers and brave warriors everywhere. Send people out to buy them in large quantities, and bring back machine guns, pistols, and hand grenades for me. Let's eat, everyone just needs to practice with their hearts!"

  The troops started eating, and accountant Li Han-sheng hurried over to Silver Dragon and Huo Feng, whispering something. Silver Dragon walked up to Hu Zhi-yong and whispered in his ear: "Young Master, your Third Uncle and his two twin sisters have arrived."

  "Third Uncle? Shi Yinshi, Shi Yinpeng, Shi Yinhua?" Hu Zhiyong scratched his head: "What are they doing here?"

  "The town of Zhuanghe County has been bleeding for the past few days, with devils killing and burning everywhere. The young men have almost all been killed off, and the young women have been raped. Mr. Er San is worried about his own daughters, so he sent them here to hide out for a while." Li Han Sheng said in a low voice, extremely worried about the current situation in Zhuanghe County: "Young master, we also received a message from the high-ranking officials that our properties have been looted by the devils at several locations. Fortunately, they hid the goods and silver well, so the losses aren't too great."

  The Little Devils landed in two routes, and the Second Army's more than 20,000 Kwantung Army elite troops were so formidable. Hu Zhiyong understood the situation in front of him and didn't feel heartbroken about the losses in the city.

  "Tell the officials' families to be careful and protect themselves, don't mind the material things too much. When the little devils are running wild, don't provoke them! If it's really unbearable, abandon the business and have everyone retreat to Buzhoushan!"

  "The young master, the little devils have stopped looting, and the main threat is to women and able-bodied laborers. The high-ranking officials' families have ordered them to start doing business. Second Master is still a decent person with some face, and the little devils are also quite considerate. Li Han-sheng pointed at the two women and one man standing in the distance: 'Young master, Third Master heard that you've regained your senses and is very happy, he has something to discuss with you.'"

  "Come on, let's go see Third Uncle!"

  Hu Fangkui, Shi Yinsi, and Chen Xinwen imitated the Oath of the Peach Garden, while Shi Yinping and Shi Yinhua were the fiancées of his own elder brothers. Hu Zhiyong walked over to face Shi Yinsi with a bow, and the two women almost bled from their noses.

  "Big sister, second sister, little brother greets you!" Two beautiful women wore the same pale blue cheongsam, with snow-white skin and eyes that shone brightly. Their jet-black hair had a natural wave and curve, standing together in identical heights and builds.

  "Pffft!" Shi Yinping burst out laughing, looking up and down at the foolish comments of her former self with curiosity: "Very spirited, also has a bit of that bold and daring attitude of Big Brother. Third Brother, from now on you can only call me Sister, dare to call me Auntie again and I'll beat your butt!"

  "Yes, little brother obeys orders!" Hu Zhiyong grinned and slipped between the two women, putting his hands on their shoulders: "Let's go, let's head back to the villa!"

  Hu Zhiyong's actions did not raise any objections from Shi Yinsi. Seeing the foolish young master become clever, his eyes suddenly became moist: "Big brother, the third young master you were most worried about has indeed lived up to your expectations!"

  "Third Uncle, does my dad hate me?" Hu Zhiyong looked at his uncle in his forties and chuckled: "All of this is thanks to the little devil!"

  Back in the Zhuangzi, butler Hu Da and accountant Li Hansheng brought over a freshly brewed tea set. Hu Zhiyong took it over, poured it into teacups, and then handed them out one by one to everyone present.

  "Housekeeper, get some apples from our orchard and take two of the good cigars I prepared yesterday to Third Uncle!" Hu Zhiyong took out a beautifully crafted lighter and pulled out a box of Cuban cigars: "Third Uncle, this thing is pretty good, but I don't know if you smoke or not."

  "Where did you get this?" Shi Yinshi exclaimed with surprise as he received it, while Hu Zhiyong hastily lit it with a lighter.

  "It's a secret!" Hu Zhiyong smiled mysteriously and winked at the two women, making a silly face.

  "You smoke too?" Shi Yinshi asked with even more curiosity as he watched Hu Zhiyong smoking.

  "Hehe, now that things are busy, taking a few puffs can help me think about the problem." Hu Zhiyong smiled awkwardly and said to Yinlong and Huo Feng behind him: "You two guard the gate, I want to talk to Third Uncle about something!"

  "Yes, young master!"

  The living room door was closed, and Hu Zhiyong cautiously asked: "Third Uncle, is the dock's loss heavy?"

  "The ship is fine, but seven sailors died." Shi Yinshi took a sip of tea and put down the teacup: "Do you want to use the ship?"

  "Third Uncle, I want to ask you to help me get a lathe, a flour mill, two diesel engines, and two generators. If possible, it would be even better if we could also get a radio, a sewing machine, and fabric for making military uniforms!"

  Shi Yin's eyes widened in surprise as he stared at him: "You want to pull the team?"

  "No." Hu Zhiyong shook his head: "I must train a batch of capable subordinates, preparing for future business!"

  "Third Young Master, what does a radio station have to do with doing business?" Shi Yinshi asked in confusion.

  "Get in touch!" Hu Zhiyong chuckled: "Now that it's chaotic, doing business means getting ready to deal with bandits and government soldiers."

  "These things are not difficult, I can buy them for you in Tianjin and Beiping. If it's really not possible, I can send someone to the French Concession in Shanghai to get them for you, transporting is a troublesome matter!" Shi Yinsi was very supportive of Hu Zhiyong's idea, thought for a moment and spoke out the problem.

  "Get the goods and notify me, I'll personally go pick them up and bring them back!"

  "Where are you going?" Shi Yin Hua, who had not spoken from the time they met until now, looked at him with disbelieving eyes: "It's better for Silver Dragon and Huo Feng to go, those two can accomplish this task."

  "What? Underestimating me?" Hu Zhiyong sneered at Yinlong and Huo Feng: "Even if the two of them team up, they may not be able to beat me!"

  "Go ahead." Shi Yin Hua curled her lip: "I've seen your lightness skill, that's the escape technique Auntie spent ten years teaching you, as for fist and footwork, ha! I'm afraid you're not my match!"

  "Second sister, can you do kung fu too?" Looking at a delicate and elegant weak woman, Hu Zhiyong curiously sized her up: "My eyes tell me that your fist technique is not impressive! Don't believe me? I'll show you my ultimate killing blow, let's go to the courtyard!"

  Must show prestige, must give everyone confidence. Hu Zhiyong had to sell and perform in the courtyard, performing the third set of military boxing 32 moves.

  The movements are agile, swift and powerful, with long fists stretching out generously, and also have the characteristics of Southern Fist's stable steps, fierce momentum, and powerful movements. The fighting moves such as kicking, punching, throwing, grasping, and twisting are well-practiced, and in an instant, they attracted Chen Xinwen, Silver Dragon, and Huo Feng.

  "Dad, San Shao's skills aren't from the Hu family's kung fu, where did he learn them?" Shi Yinping looked at him with confusion, finding it increasingly difficult to understand the formerly silly and foolish Third Young Master.

  "Inconceivable!" Shi Yinshi muttered, unable to answer his daughter's question.

  "Could it be fake?" Shi Yin Hua sneered, "Even if one's mind can recover, who has ever seen someone wake up and suddenly know something they've never learned or practiced before?"

  The silver dragon's body shook: "Young master can also drive, speak English, speak Japanese, and his marksmanship is 100%! What's going on?"

  "Don't spout nonsense!" Huo Feng gazed at everyone resolutely: "The young master and I have lived together for over a decade, although he's become unbelievable, but I believe he's still the original Third Young Master!"

  "Huo Feng, it's not that I'm being paranoid, but I think you need to...” Shi Yinshi said in a low voice, and finally said firmly: "We can't be careless about this. It involves my brother's business and a secret, so we must test it!"
