Cultivation Begins with Caring for Sister-in-law Chapter 95: Training the Troops

The Divine Brave Guards had just undergone Han Wu’s "devil training" in the morning, thinking that the afternoon would be sowhat easier, but Hu Qiang made them all pick up machetes and led them up the mountain.

And on the way up the mountain, he made them run, and those who fell behind or ran slowly would receive a "friendly" greeting from Hu Qiang.

"What’s wrong with Captain Hu, training us like this?"

"Right, he’s not even one of us Divine Brave Guards. He’s just substituting for Captain Zhang for a few days. If the training doesn’t go well, it’s not his responsibility, so why is he stricter than Captain Zhang?"

Running up the mountain was much more exhausting than running circles around the village.

And the mountain road was not easy to walk, and soon soone fell.

Hu Qiang walked over and imdiately pulled the person who fell directly up, shouting, "Are you a waste? You can fall just from this. Stand up straight and keep running for . If even one person doesn’t reach the fort’s position within a quarter of an hour, everyone will be punished."

"What, everyone punished?"

As soon as he said this, everyone lanted.

Soone lifted their sleeve to wipe the sweat off their forehead and plopped down on the ground, waving their hand. "I’m... I’m not doing it anymore."

These words elicited agreent from the two people closest to him.

"I’m not doing it either. This isn’t being a soldier, it’s risking our lives."

"Even Captain Zhang never trained us like this. I’m going to complain to Immortal Master Chen about you."

"That’s right, complain about you." With soone taking the lead, a dozen nearby people also chid in.

"Complain about ?"

Hu Qiang stood in front of the person who had taken the lead, saying, "What’s your na?"

"Zhang... Fusheng, I’m from the sa village as Immortal Master Chen, so what?" The man who claid to be Zhang Fusheng raised his neck and said.

As soon as he finished speaking, he was hit in the face with a fist as big as a sandbag.

With a "bang", Zhang Fusheng was knocked to the ground. As he tried to get up and resist, an official saber was placed against his neck.

The blade pressed against his neck, his face burning with pain.

But Zhang Fusheng didn’t dare to say a word, his heart overwheld by fear.

Not only Zhang Fusheng, but the others around him were also frightened by Hu Qiang’s actions.

At the sa ti, a thought erged in their minds, as if saying, what right does he have to do this?

"If you want to complain about , go ahead, Immortal Master Chen is in the fort. But for now, you need to listen to and run up there."

"Get up." Hu Qiang patted Zhang Fusheng’s face with the blade, shouting.

Under the threat of death, Zhang Fusheng burst out with a surge of power, scrambling up from the ground and starting to run.

"Faster, faster."

Hu Qiang held the saber, urging everyone from behind.

With Zhang River serving as a cautionary tale, even if everyone was dissatisfied, they had to suppress their churning stomachs and run headlong.

Fortunately, when they reached the fort, they indeed saw Chen Mo.

At that mont, Chen Mo was bare-chested, muscles rippling on his arms, wielding a machete, chopping down a pine tree as thick as a thigh beside him.

With a single chop, accompanied by a "crack", the pine tree fell.

Everyone swallowed hard.

After a quarter of an hour, the Divine Brave Guards all finally arrived.

Zhang Fusheng, who arrived last, hurriedly went in front of Chen Mo to complain about Hu Qiang.

Following Zhang Fusheng’s lead, three others also complained to Chen Mo in turn.

And these few were the ones who lagged and exceeded the designated ti.

Just when they thought Chen Mo would champion justice for them, Hu Qiang stepped forward respectfully to Chen Mo, saying, "Immortal Master Chen, according to your instructions, I have brought the Divine Brave Guards up."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Fusheng and the others’ faces changed.

Hu Qiang did this because Immortal Master Chen instructed him, so by doing this, they were essentially...

Those nearby watched as the drama unfolded.

"I heard from Captain Hu that you don’t want to do this anymore, right?" Chen Mo’s gaze turned to Zhang Fusheng and the others.

Zhang Fusheng and the others inexplicably felt a chill.

"Very well, before enlisting, I had said, if you can’t endure the hardship, you can leave, but the treatnt you enjoyed in the village will be stripped from the mont you leave, and from now on, you will never be accepted again."

Chen Mo, with a stern expression, called over Wang Ping, saying, "Anyone who wishes to leave, register with Wang Ping. After registration, you will no longer be soldiers of the Divine Brave Guard, and you won’t have to endure the hardships of training. You can get up whenever you like each day."

During lunch, Chen Mo realized that he hadn’t established military laws yet, which led to this scene with Hu Qiang.

And before establishing military laws, it’s natural to establish authority first.

Chen Mo didn’t expect them to genuinely embrace him; he only needed them to fear and obey him, that was enough.

After he finished speaking, the crowd fell silent.

Even the complaining Zhang Fusheng and the others remained silent.

Though being soldiers these few days was tiring, they had enough to eat every day, even a al with at, and their families could share in one of those als.

But if they left the Divine Brave Guard, the three als a day would be gone, perhaps they couldn’t even join the Fishing Team, returning to the previous days of hunger and cold.

For a while, no one went to register.

After waiting for a while, seeing no one leaving, Chen Mo said, "Good, since no one wants to leave, then take your punishnt. Because a few of you didn’t arrive at the fort on ti, everyone must face punishnt."

Seeing that Chen Mo was serious, those who arrived on ti looked at Zhang Fusheng and the others, their eyes filled with resentnt, feeling they were dragged down by them.

"Everyone in position, one hundred squats, begin." Chen Mo said.

Faced with Chen Mo’s authority, everyone had to suppress their discontent and start doing squats with their heads down.

While they were doing squats, Chen Mo talked about military law.

He particularly emphasized the importance of obeying orders.

As long as they could adhere to this point, and if he was fair in rewarding and punishing, they would naturally be grateful to him.

After completing the hundred squats, Chen Mo let them rest for a quarter of an hour.

After they were done resting.

Chen Mo divided them into seven squads and selected seven individuals as squad leaders.

The reason for doing this was that Chen Mo was worried Zhang River couldn’t manage alone, and if he was too strict, he would bear all the conflicts.

But if they were divided into seven squads, with a leader for each, it could disperse conflicts.

At that ti, Zhang River would only have to manage the seven squad leaders.

Subsequently, Chen Mo, holding a machete, ca before a tree, and said seriously, "The seven squad leaders, take your n. Before sunset, each of you has to cut down five trees as thick as a thigh. If one is missing, your entire squad will be punished. Use the Sword Technique I taught you to cut."

"Yes."

Everyone responded in unison.

Soon, the sound of logging rang through the forest.

Daze Mountain, with its abundant trees, naturally required the surroundings of the fortress to be cleared.

Additionally, the felled trees could be used to build the fort and erect palisades.

Furthermore, chopping down trees also practiced their Sword Technique.

Additionally, cutting down trees also helped build strength.

Finally, if so squads found their mbers hadn’t chopped enough trees, to avoid punishnt for everyone, so teammates who finished early would co over to help, thus quickly fostering camaraderie among the soldiers.

This strategy could achieve multiple objectives at once.

One has to admit, the thod of collective punishnt is indeed effective in the military.
