Chapter 187: Strength determines success or failure
Zhu Zhiling was convinced by Hao Fenglou, so he followed Hao Fenglou's requirements in training the fifty strong men.
These men were almost numb under practice. Almost as long as the drum sounded, the familiar rhythm would be reflexed and stood straight and took the next step according to the drum instructions. Everyone required that they must be uniform, even if one point was more or less, they would be pulled out by Zhu Zhiling and locked up in a dark room for punishment.
This kind of harsh exercise is unprecedented. After practicing this exercise for several months, one day, Hao Fenglou added a patient training method to these exercises. Everyone had to lift a bird gun weighing up to ten kilograms, raise it flat, aiming forward, and not move at all. This stop might be an hour. If you just stand, you can still accept it, but if you can't lift it so smoothly, your arms will be numb and even lose consciousness. In addition, it's a hot summer day, you will sweat profusely and the scorching sun will make you faint. If it weren't for everyone's foundation and the hardships of several months, your body would barely keep up. There was a doctor next to you staring at it, and salt water was prepared in the kitchen. I'm afraid that in a few days, these fifty people would fall down.
What's even more terrifying is obviously still behind. Half a month later, there was a beehive on the school ground where the exercise was being performed. Everyone stood in line and raised the musket. Some were specially urging them to urge them. Dozens of bees were flying, some were parked on their young faces, some fell on their hands, and some buzzing in their eyes. No one knew whether these bees would sting you in the next moment.
Those who cannot bear it will be eliminated, but those who stay will not only increase the level of monthly money, but may also be entrusted with important tasks in the future.
Someone who was stung by honey made a scream, and even so, he could not help but scold him.
This time, the doctors no longer prepared salt water, but also made some special medicines for injury and asked people to take some tea oil and ordered people to spit in their affected mouth.
At the same time, Hao San also came. He said repeatedly: "Since it is a firearm team, what is the most important thing? The most important thing is to never retreat when the danger is. Even if the other party's sword is right in front of you, you can't take a step back without orders. Do you understand?"
Everyone shouted: "I understand!"
Hao San shouted again: "Don't move, no one is allowed to move without orders. Moving for a moment will mean that it is a violation of the order."
At the end of the day, Hao San yelled and smoked, but this repeated "brainwashing" was of great use. He did not give them any rest in a closed environment, turned them into machines. Then he repeatedly instilled in "reasons". This is actually a psychological hint.
Of course, everyone worked hard, and the food of these fifty strong men was doubled. Sometimes, Hao San would even find some beef for everyone to eat. It is not easy to eat beef in all dynasties. As for pork, it is naturally full. There is no need to say about other vegetables and fruits. These people are orphans, abandoned and sold by others. No matter how much they suffer, they can settle here, in fact, they are already satisfied. Only those who have been hungry for three meals are afraid to go back to the past. In the past, it was not just ragged clothes and food that were not enough to fill their stomachs, but what was even more terrifying was the horror of the future. Therefore, no matter how Zhu Zhiling and Hao San struggled, everyone was well-behaved without any passing.

Not far from Purple Mountain, the official road has reached its end. Further ahead is overgrown with weeds, and several servants guard a sedan chair and are struggling to move forward.
The imperial envoy of the Censorate in the sedan was at this time, Lord Yang Kai, swaying in the sedan chair, squinting his eyes and dozing in the sedan chair.
Last time, he was severely impeached Hao Fenglou, which made him highly praised by Shilin. Not only that, but some colleagues and Shangguan also encouraged him openly and secretly.
Yang Kai was energetic and had never been so glamorous after being an envoy for so many years. He even scolded the camp of Zijin Mountain and Hao Fenglou, but the other party didn't dare to let go. Yang Kai thought about it and thought that it was better to be the remaining brave men to pursue the enemy at this time, and not to seek fame as a master. At this time, Isn't it just right?
So, Yang Kai came again, he was here to cause trouble. He was impeached last time and came again this time. If he refused to let himself inspect, then the city would be full of storms after he went back.
Yang Kai came early in the morning after his wishful thinking.
This time he did not go on the waterway, and there were people patrolling the waterway, and someone informed him in advance. This was not good.
So he planned to work harder and cross mountains and rivers directly. In fact, it was not hard, just the sedan chair was shaken a little, but the sedan chairmen and the servants who carried the sedan chair outside could not bear it.
He swayed over several mounds and bypassed Lake Biwa. There was a wide area in front of him. You could vaguely see the majestic foothills of Zijin Mountain in the distance. The sedan chairmen were exhausted and panting, but there seemed to be people in the distance.
Halfway through the way, someone finally intercepted him: "Who is so brave. This is the forbidden area and the fief of the Hao family. Master Hao has an order, and no one is allowed to enter and exit."
The few people intercepted were riding horses. The camp arranged dozens of scouts to patrol each day. In the words of Hao Fenglou, even a fly could not be put in at will.
Yang Kai in the sedan chair was excited when he heard the movement. He came and finally came. He wanted this effect. The more domineering the other party was, the more ruthless he would scold him in the future. It would be better if he aroused his righteous indignation at that time. At that time, he would have the truth and countless colleagues behind him beat drums to cheer him, and he would be full of glory.
Moreover, Yang Kai vaguely speculated that someone above seemed to be eager to do this, and he was considering his preferences. He might be able to reach the top in this matter later.
He did not leave the sedan chair, but the outside officers negotiated with the inspectors.
Soon, an argument broke out: "The person sitting in the sedan chair is Yang Yu's envoy of the Censorate. Who told you to shout here? Yang Yu's envoy inspects the treasury of the capital, get out of here quickly."
"My young master said that if anyone comes in, we must have our heads. I really don't dare to do so, please go back."
"It's outrageous, what's your young master?"
However, the inspectors hesitated: "Let me inform you, you are here to wait."
Sure enough, someone quickly went to report.
