Volume 1: Chaotic World as a Bandit Chapter 15: Live and Learn

  What makes Xiao Tianjian a little regretful is that he was not a soldier before crossing over, if he had been a soldier before, he would not have felt frustrated about how to train soldiers.

  But this matter is not difficult for him, hasn't eaten pork, haven't seen pigs run? Although he didn't join the army, didn't carry a gun, but he had two military training experiences, and also absorbed a large amount of information from later generations. After all, in this era, except for a limited number of people who have the opportunity to read a little book, most people do not have the opportunity to read books. Even if it is a reading person in this era, the books available for them to study are very limited, and most people are limited to the Four Books and Five Classics. In terms of information acceptance, they cannot be compared with later generations. Later generations have been exposed to various knowledge from an early age, plus television, movies, and highly developed networks, making it easier for later generations to accept various information than ancient people, giving him an absolute advantage in knowledge over people in this era. Therefore, in terms of military training, Xiao Tianjian believes that he is still not difficult to deal with.

  He has had two military training experiences. One was when he first entered university, the school organized a half-month military training for them. The other time was after he entered society, his newly hired company took him to undergo two months of military training. The university military training was just so-so, but that company military training was really strict. The reason was that the company hoped that new employees could be trained through military training to cultivate their spirit of hard work and obedience, as well as teamwork consciousness, and at the same time eliminate some people with weak character and lack of obedience consciousness.

  That military training was said to be the most rigorous one since their company started organizing military training, with over 200 new employees recruited. The training hadn't even ended when more than half of them quit due to the intense hardship. Those who quit were immediately fired by the company. Xiao Tianjian, however, persisted and eventually earned an excellent employee award. After the training ended, the company organized a get-together party, where his squad leader revealed to him after having several cups of wine that the company had initially stated they would only keep half of them. They wanted the new recruits to go through tough training, as the company wouldn't be kind to these young people who took their money. The squad leaders were told to push them hard, making the intensity even greater than a regular military's three-month new recruit training.

  Let bygones be bygones. Through these two military trainings, Xiao Tianjian still benefited a lot and at least learned many things about how to practice soldiers. Now he can finally take them out and use them.

  In his view, the biggest difference between a mob and an elite army is not equipment, but discipline. As a military force, no matter how small, only with strict discipline can it become a crack troop; otherwise, even if soldiers are armed to the teeth, they can only be considered a mob. Therefore, discipline is the soul of the soul in the military.

  At present, his subordinates can only be called a mob. Wanting to rely on such a mob to stand firm in this world, Xiao Tianjian felt that it would be better to find a place to commit suicide first, which would be a more pleasant way to die.

  "Brothers! I ask you a question, do you want to live for a few more days in this chaotic world?" Xiao Tianjian made up his mind and then called the dozen or so men under him over to ask them.

  Xiao Tianjian suddenly asked this question, and these guys were stunned for a moment, but soon nodded one after another. This question is simply stupid! Who would complain about their own life being too long in this world? So Xiao Tianjian immediately got a unanimous answer.

  "I've thought about it! Of course I have!"

  "Hmm! That's settled then! Although we're just a small group now, I don't want you guys to follow me and get yourselves killed for nothing! From the start, I've treated all of you as my own brothers, and if anyone were to go missing, it would weigh on my mind. So I'm going to put you through some training, so that in the future when you're out doing things, you won't lose your lives unnecessarily!" Xiao Tian Jian said with a wave of his hand to this group of people.

  "That's great! Master Pan can train us, that's our good fortune! Everyone says it's true, right? I, Zhao Erdui, am willing to follow Master Pan for training, how about you guys?" As soon as Xiao Tianjian finished speaking, Zhao Erdui jumped out and said to the others.

  Others heard it and quickly nodded in agreement, indicating their willingness to accept Xiao Tianjian's training.

  Xiao Tianjian glanced at Zhao Erlu and thought to himself that this group of people was the most cunning, with the most ulterior motives. However, he also truly needed such people to help him out, otherwise there would be awkward silences from time to time. After hearing their responses, Xiao Tianjian nodded again and said: "Since everyone is willing to accept my training, I'll speak frankly - although we have few people now, this is just the beginning, and later on more and more people will join us! So don't think that my training is child's play!"

  I, Xiao Mou, have a habit that is to do things to the best of my ability! When it comes to practicing, I will be very strict and will not tolerate any slackness or compromise.

  Since you followed me, Xiao Mou, that means you are my soldiers! I won't let your nature run wild and free. In the past, I have set some rules, everyone must remember them firmly. Later, I will also set more rules, and you all need to remember them deeply in your hearts!

  This training, I tell you what to do, you just do it. Do well and be rewarded, do poorly and be punished. If anyone can't take this hardship, then get out of my sight! I don't need such trash here! It's better for you to leave and fend for yourself rather than staying here and dragging down your comrades!

  But as long as you stay, practice hard for me, this is the capital of your life! It's also our only way out to survive! When doing things under my hands, you must always remember, discipline, discipline, and discipline! Do anything within the bounds of discipline!"

  As they spoke, Xiao Tianjian's face gradually turned cold, and he swept his gaze over the faces of these people. At first, they had some playful smiles, but as Xiao Tianjian's tone and expression became increasingly serious, they also gradually put away their smiles and began to realize that this time Xiao Tianjian was talking about a drill might not be so simple after all, so they all became somewhat nervous.

  "Did you hear me clearly?" Xiao Tianjian looked at the crowd, who were all staring blankly and not making a sound, feeling very uninteresting, so he suddenly shouted loudly at them.

  The loud shout made these people suddenly come to their senses, and they quickly nodded their heads in unison, answering in a low voice: "Got it!" However, the responses of more than a dozen people were scattered and chaotic.

  Xiao Tianjian's face sank even lower, it can be seen that he was very dissatisfied with the answers of these guys. He suddenly asked loudly again: "I couldn't hear what you said, did you bastards not eat today? Speak louder and answer me clearly!"

  Xiao Tianjian had learned the same set of skills that their instructor used against them at first.

  Xiao Tianjian's sudden loud roar made everyone jump again, and they quickly raised their voices in response: "We heard it clearly!"

  "Bullshit! Can't you guys answer my questions in a more organized way? Did you hear me clearly? Speak louder, don't be like a woman!" Xiao Tianjian was still dissatisfied, and with his hands behind his back, he let out another loud roar at these people.

  This time everyone learned their lesson, together they puffed out their chests and shouted at the top of their lungs: "Did you hear that clearly?!"

  "Is that still not loud enough? Did you hear me clearly?" Xiao Tianjian took big strides in front of these people, quickly walking back and forth, shouting at each of their faces.

  "Listen clearly!" This time almost everyone used all their might, arching their necks and shouting loudly.

  This time Xiao Tianjian was slightly satisfied, nodded and said loudly: "This is what it's like to be a man! Good! From now on, whenever I ask you questions, you must answer like this! Do you all remember?"

  As for this question, these guys have thoroughly learned their lesson and together shouted loudly: "Remembered!"

  "Alright! You're not too stupid after all! But remember, when answering questions in the future, you must add 'sir' at the end! Because here, I am your superior! You must learn to obey first!" Xiao Tianjian added with a bit of malice, just because he had watched too many movies, where foreign military training required soldiers to address their superiors as "sir" when answering questions. He thought it was necessary to emphasize who's in charge here, so that the soldiers would know who to obey. However, making them call him "sir" in this era seemed a bit awkward, so he let everyone follow up with just one "sir", which made him feel more authoritative.

  Of course, being called Lao Da, it seems to have a bit of an underworld boss feel to it, but thinking about it now, he's almost like a small-time underworld boss himself, so being called Lao Da is actually quite fitting, and that's how this nickname came to be.

  Everyone felt the difference in Xiao Tianjian today, and they thought that Xiao Tianjian must have a reason for doing so. After Xiao Tianjian finished speaking, under Zhao Erlu's lead, they shouted loudly together: "Remember, boss!"
