At that time, Wang Zhenyu was sweating all over his head after listening to it. A small epaulette could have so many details. Fortunately, he used to think he was proficient in history, but now he didnt understand the new military system of the Qing Dynasty at the end of the Qing Dynasty. Whats the point of fighting? This history textbook is really deadly, except for exams, it has no use at all, and it even dares to plagiarize history as a subject, its just a historical timeline. However, this person in the rivers and lakes was already helpless, didnt understand but had to pretend to understand, fortunately, there was a cheap taboos on the side who understood everything, if he didnt understand anything, he could quietly ask him.

  It is worth noting that the epaulets of these soldiers under his command are currently blank, which is different from the new army in Hubei. The new army in Hubei has been fully equipped with military government emergency designs and newly-made civilian army epaulets to effectively distinguish between superiors and subordinates.

  The troops supporting Hubei and Hunan, on the other hand, set out from Changsha and did not have time to design or distribute new badges to distinguish ranks. Like most of the uprising armies at that time, they simply tore off the Qing dynastys dragon emblem badge on their collar and considered it done.

  Wang Zhenyu also noticed that the soldiers attire was very similar to that of Japanese soldiers in the Sino-Japanese War documentary series he had watched later, all carrying marching boxes with bedding, a canteen slung over their shoulders, and tightly wrapped leg bands on their calves. Its said this can prevent leg numbness during long-distance marches. Is this a Japanese product? Should it be smashed to pieces? Wang Zhenyu couldnt help but think maliciously.

  The military uniform was uniformly blue-gray, which was not much different from the Beiyang Army. Wang Zhenyu thought about this with great concern, if the two armies started a close-quarters battle, wouldnt it be a big trouble? How to distinguish between friend and foe at that time?

  However, from these details alone, it can be seen that the Qing dynasty has made a great effort to learn from the powers.

  Well, its hard to say whether Chinese people are good at learning or not, but they are indeed good at imitating, as Wang Zhenyu has personally witnessed.

  The officers and men of the four infantry teams who were directly under the headquarters quickly gathered in the open space and took roll-call action. Todays officer on duty was Yang Wanguo, the team leader of the left team, who ran up to Wang Zhenyu, stood at attention and saluted, saying: "Report to the commander, all officers and men should be 754 people, actually 754 people. The lineup is complete, please give instructions!"

  Wang Zhenyu understood, and from the moment he started middle school military training, it was always like this. Only now did he realize that the simple military orders they thought were unique to their generation actually had a long history behind them. He came back to his senses, immediately sat up straight on horseback and shouted: "Attention, at ease."

  Whoa, whoa, over 700 people stood at attention in unison, sounding very majestic. Suddenly, Wang Zhenyu felt his blood boiling with excitement. Haha, he thought to himself, from being chased by city management all over the streets, Im now a military officer commanding nearly 800 men! If those city management guys dare to come after me again, with just one order, these hundreds of brothers will charge out and scare those bastards to death! Uh, spaced out again.

  As a personal bodyguard, his elder cousin Ma Xi Cheng stood beside Wang Zhen Yu. Seeing that the leader had not spoken for half a day, he hurriedly coughed several times to remind him.

  Wang Zhenyu suddenly realized that the environment he was in now was not a place where he could indulge in fantasies, so he made an effort to adjust his mindset and learned to behave like those officials often seen in later generations, starting with a loud cough.

  Everyones attention was clearly focused on him, and Wang Zhenyu had a moment of dark laughter in his heart. This trick seemed to be universally applicable, so it would be easy to handle.

  Looking at the more than 700 pairs of eyes, Wang Zhenyu, who had experience in team learning lectures, knew that when there were so many people, he must not be nervous. Once nervous, he would become timid, and the words that came out would naturally be insufficient, and it would be no different from farting.

  It was just an announcement of a military discipline, he tried to keep himself calm and then said loudly: "In accordance with the order of Commander-in-Chief Huang of the War Command and General Wang of the Aid-Hunan Army, our regiment will set out today to garrison at Qin Duan Kou. All officers and soldiers must pay attention to the military discipline during the march. No one is allowed to leave the team without permission on any pretext. Everything should be subject to military orders and follow the command of superiors. Those who disobey the order will be beheaded. Now lets set out."

  When he finished speaking, Wang Zhenyu didnt care about Qindus broken mouth and directly ordered the troops to set off with great momentum.

  Wang Zhenyu rode his horse at the forefront of the entire camp with an unparalleled sense of joy, the kind of pride and satisfaction that filled his chest was something he had never experienced before in his life!

  It was the guide sent by the General Headquarters who discovered the problem, and the team leader had taken a wrong turn. Before the entire marching direction was completely reversed, the guide hesitated for a moment before daring to come forward and remind: "Team Leader Wang, Team Leader Wang, youve taken the wrong road! We should have turned right at that fork in the road earlier!"

  Wang Zhenyu was sweating profusely, he glared at him fiercely and said, "You old rascal, why didnt you say so earlier? You made me think I was wrong. Luckily I didnt go too far, otherwise I would have made a big fool of myself."

  King Zhenyu immediately ordered the left team that had not yet passed the intersection to turn right, and he and the battalions direct personnel rested in place, waiting to follow at the end of the entire battalion. As for the confused guide who was considered not to have fulfilled his duty to remind himself in time, he was sent by King Zhenyu, a road blind man, to lead the left team.

  When they arrived at the town of Qinduankou, it was already past noon that day. The local residents, mobilized by the liaison officers and gentry sent by the military government, voluntarily or involuntarily vacated about half of their houses for the troops to live in. As a result, Wang Zhenyu did not have the opportunity to see the moving scene in the movie "The Founding of a Republic" where his righteous and heroic army marched into Shanghai but had to sleep on the streets.

  The battalion headquarters was set up in a local gentrys villa, the courtyard is not big, with two-story wooden houses and two rows of earth buildings, which is considered to be good in the local area.

  In addition, the local gentry also sent ten big fat pigs, saying that they were offered by the people of the town to entertain the soldiers. Wang Zhenyus understanding of the peoples army not taking a needle and thread from the masses was that he would not take needles and threads from the people, so except for needles and threads, everything else was accepted with a smile. He also didnt forget to inform the cooking class to add dinner, first killing three fat ones to improve the brothers diet.

  Although he had never eaten pork, Wang Zhenyu had seen pigs run before. He also watched similar military-themed TV dramas like "The Bright Sword" in his later years. Not only did he learn from the example and send out scouts to patrol around the barracks, but he also took the initiative to order the doubling of sentry posts at both ends of the town.

  Its worth noting that they especially emphasized the addition of a secret whistle. However, looking at the shocked expressions on Yang Wanguis and others faces, this action seemed somewhat unreasonable.

  Because Lu Diping and Liang Xigus two battalions are stationed not far away, and from the deployment position, even if there is an enemy attack, they will encounter them first. Since thats the case, whats the point of setting up a secret sentry? Are you kidding me? The squad leaders have recently found that the number of lazy people under their command has been increasing, and its better to drive these soldiers to do things as little as possible in general situations.

  When the netizens raised questions, Wang Zhenyu, who insisted on saving face, could only pretend to be deaf and dumb, diverting the topic.

  He made an excuse, threw out a sentence he had fabricated from the ancients: "War is the nations great master, the land of life and death, the way of survival and destruction, it cannot be ignored." Then he took Ma Xi Cheng and others to run away. Yang Wan Guo didnt read many books, but among the team officers who were all old veterans, he also thought he was somewhat knowledgeable about literature. He vaguely remembered that the original words in Sun Tzus Art of War werent said like that. After the leader left, he asked Song Xian Fu, the captain of the right team: "Have we soldiers become the nations great masters?" Song Xian Fu was an old veteran with a rough appearance, and after thinking for a while, he solemnly realized: "I understand what Captain means, as long as we follow him to fight against the enemy, our day of becoming great masters is not far away." The other team officers thought about it and also felt that this was the meaning, so they nodded in agreement.

  Wang Zhenyu had never been to this small town since the end of the Qing dynasty, although he had done many things for the first time recently. For example, his first sip of water, his first bowl of rice and so on.

  Although it is wartime now, even Hankou on the opposite bank of the Han River was set on fire by the Qing army last month, burning everything to ashes. However, in this town, the common people are still living their peaceful lives, and even today with the arrival of the troops, many people can be seen busy with their own affairs on the streets, without any signs of avoiding the war. Perhaps from the perspective of these ordinary people, no matter who comes or goes, who wins or loses, as long as they pay their taxes according to the rules, thats all that matters to them. As for who is revolutionary and who is reactionary, those illiterate people really have no interest or time to bother with such idle thoughts.

  Its better to spend time dealing with the goods on hand and exchanging them for some small money, buying a catty of pork, a half catty of rice wine, stir-frying three or five small dishes, setting up a table at home, inviting friends over to gather together.

  Wang Zhenyu walked and looked around, while Ma Xi Cheng followed behind with four other guards.

  In fact, the town of Qinduankou is just a single street, neither long nor wide, and theres nothing special about it. But for Wang Zhenyu, who has come from later generations, everything seems fresh and new, even an old signboard can evoke a sense of antiquity. Dont look down on this place, Wang Zhenyu thought to himself as he looked around, if it were Yu Qiuyu, he would probably be even more amazed by the time he finished walking down this street, and his sighs of wonder would be even louder!

  Wang Zhenyu was staring blankly at a little boy playing by the roadside, wearing a tiger-headed hat, when a commotion reached his ears.
