"Hands! Hands! How many times have I told you! Keep your palms close to your legs! If I find you don't keep your hands close to your legs again, don't blame me for being rude!"

"Hold on! If you can't even endure this little hardship, how can you kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds on the battlefield?!"

Fierce sounds similar to this are heard all the time.

Although these people are instructors, as of a month ago, they were all ordinary soldiers in the Shinsengumi.

As the recruitment plan of "expanding the army by three thousand" gradually unfolded, the first hundred or so soldiers of the Shinsengumi were all promoted on the spot, from ordinary soldiers to junior officers.

Compared with the newcomers who have just joined the army, these soldiers who joined the Shinsengumi when it was first established are indeed veterans.

However, their enlistment time is only two months longer than that of the new recruits.

After just fighting two not-so-intense battles (the Kusunoki-gumi annihilation battle and the Iga offensive and defensive battle), all of them were directly promoted... Such a promotion speed is a bit too outrageous.

It is no exaggeration to say that the vast majority of them are not qualified to be officers and do not have the necessary military qualities.

However, it is still the same old saying: Today’s era is a worse era!

Seito's positioning on the Shinsengumi has always been very clear: he doesn't seek to be the best, he just seeks to be better than other armies.

The Shinsengumi don't need to have such terrifying combat power, as long as their overall quality is not weaker than the armies of other forces, that's enough!

Tokugawa Iemo and others walked around the new recruits and observed their appearance carefully.

The clothes of the new recruits were all wet with sweat.

The sweat dripped down their sleeves and trouser legs, and small puddles formed at the feet of some people.

No matter who is passing by them, the recruits always look straight into the distance.

Such strong discipline amazed everyone and made people unable to believe that these people were all new recruits.

Tokugawa Iemo looked around expressionlessly.

Without warning, he quietly walked up behind a certain recruit.

Soon enough, he suddenly reached out his right hand, grabbed the recruit's right arm, and pulled him back violently.

Judging from his posture, he used a lot of strength.

His "attack" was nothing short of sudden.

However, the new recruit did not move at all, his arms still pressed tightly against the sides of his legs.

Seeing this, Tokugawa Iemo quietly retracted his hand.

"Sorry, I scared you."

He apologized to the new recruit very politely, and then said to Qingdeng with a satisfied look on his face:

"Qingdeng, the 'military posture' you created is indeed extremely effective."

Then, he put on a solemn face and turned to look at the "pro-army" generals behind him.

"From now on, the 'Third Division' will also implement this kind of training method!"

Yamaki Yunro and others looked at each other, then hurriedly bowed their heads in response.

At this time, Qingdeng suddenly said:

"Your Highness, this is a rare opportunity. Please allow me to show you my Shinsengumi's 'front trial'."

"'Trial in front of the curtain'? What is this?"

"In order to ensure the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, I will regularly require each unit to conduct large-scale exercises and battles, and personally supervise them."

"The soldiers participating in the battle will wear armor and go into battle. Everything is based on actual combat."

After hearing this, Tokugawa Iemo nodded gently:

"I see... that's why it's called the 'trial fit in front of the curtain'."

Tokumae - that is, in front of the shogunate.

The original meaning of the word "shogunate" is the place where the general works.

It is precisely for this reason that the political organization led by the general who conquered barbarians was called the "shogunate".

Tokugawa Iemo said loudly, almost without thinking:

"It's rare to come here, why not watch it? Qingdeng, go make arrangements quickly!"

Qingdeng said "yes".

Then, he led everyone to the watchtower located on the north side of the training ground.

Qingden held Vairocana on his waist, walked to the edge of the watchtower, and took a deep breath:

"gather!!"

With the blessing of the talent "Cloud-Cracking Stone +3", his words effortlessly covered the entire training ground.

The moment after his words came out... it was really an instant! The whole training ground started to boil!

Veterans and new recruits all rushed straight to the watchtower!

Everyone ran straight over at their fastest speed.

After a while, the originally empty watchtower was crowded with heads.

The total time taken from spreading out in all directions to gathering in front of Qingdeng and others: 20 seconds!

In addition to spending far more time together than the Beijing-based major team just now, the mental outlook of the two parties is also very different.

I saw every soldier downstairs standing in a standard military posture.

Keep your head up, chest out, eyes straight, and your posture glowing.

Their dignified appearance was in sharp contrast to the soldiers of the large group stationed in Beijing who were shaking their heads and standing crookedly.

In addition, because everyone stood upright and motionless, it had the effect of "leading from point to point". Every row and column was extremely neat, and there was a strong aura of splendor inside and outside the military formation!

Just looking at it gives you chills!

Looking at this scene, many people...especially the "pro-military" generals swallowed involuntarily.

Qingdeng said loudly and expressionlessly:

“Now let’s start the ‘test fit’ in front of the curtain!”

"Team 1 and 6 are the red team!"

"Teams three and four are White!"

"Get ready now! The battle will begin in 30 minutes!"

After giving the military order concisely and concisely, Qingdeng waved his big hand, indicating that the soldiers could take action.

It came very quickly, and it left very quickly - the soldiers retreated with a clatter and went to get their weapons and equipment.

30 minutes passed quietly.
