My name is Zhao Tiezhu, and I am currently a recruit in the Pingyuan Army's recruit camp.
In the past, my family was a farmer outside Gui Sui City. Originally, my family had six acres of land and lived quite well.
However, wars had been going on everywhere these years, and the government above had been increasing taxes.
The six mu of land at home was now only left with two mu.
I also have two younger brothers. One is eleven years old, and the other is only four years old.
As the eldest, I'm already eighteen years old this year.
Originally, I thought that the family could barely survive.
In the end, some time ago, because the government was going to war with the people of the south, they began to increase taxes again.
Thus, I could only come out and find some helpers, hoping to survive this difficult winter.
Originally, I only wanted to let my family survive, but I found a very, very good owner!
Really, this boss was very good.
On the first morning of my work, he treated me to a very good breakfast.
Really, in my opinion, that breakfast was the best breakfast in the world.
Usually, because their family was poor, they did not eat breakfast.
The owner's warm smile made him feel that he had met a good owner.
And that was what happened next.
The owner trusts us and gave us the money. Let's go buy a lot of things.
There was white flour, rice, meat, and some other things.
After that, we were brought to Tumed to mine.
He had thought that mining was a very hard job, but who knew that the owner would actually get a lot of machines.
It's not difficult for our men.
And every day at noon, the boss will give us meat to eat.
This shocked us, and at the same time, we were secretly grateful to our boss.
In this world, which boss would give his subordinates meat? Anyway, I have never seen it.
Time passed day by day. One day, I heard that the horse bandits had attacked us.
At that time, we were so scared that our souls scattered.
We hope that the boss can hide with us. We don't want such a good boss to be killed by the horse bandits.
However, the boss didn't listen to us. Instead, he brought the guards he recruited to fight with those guards.
After a while, the boss came back with his men. The horse bandits were all killed by the boss, not a single one was left alive.
When we went to deal with the corpse, we were all shocked.
Later on, he heard that these bandits were sent by Li Peiji, the head of Gui Sui Province.
At that time, our group of workers scolded Li Peiji badly and called him Li Gouzi.
Later, he heard that the boss was going to bring thousands of people to fight Li Gouzi.
At that time, we were all very surprised. We didn't know where the boss had recruited so many people.
However, we all hope that the East can win.
They were living very well now. They had 30 yuan in cash every month, which made their family's life better.
A few days ago, his mother had sent a letter saying, He told me not to spend money recklessly. If I could save up for another two months, I could get married.
The hope of us workers seemed to have come true. The boss really beat Li Gouzi to death.
Now, the boss was the commander of Gui Sui City.
And the owner has paid a lot of attention to us.
Some time ago, someone came to ask us if we were willing to join the army.
This was because they had already recruited a lot of workers.
Some of them could join the army.
The pay for joining the army is still very high. Although it's only twelve dollars, it's much worse than our thirty dollars.
However, his family could get 20 mu of fertile land.
So I wanted to repay the favor and joined the army.
It was not easy to find a good boss in this world. We don't want such a good owner to be destroyed.
That's why we want to join the army and become soldiers to protect our good days.
Many of the workers thought so, so many of them joined the army.
Naturally, there would be people to fill the vacant positions.
............
Today is the first day of our recruit training!
The instructor was a very dull man.
From the first time we saw him, we didn't see any effect. The expression on his face was stiff.
He was very strict. He started to let us practice our formation.
Many of us were scolded and whipped by him for it.
However, none of us had any resentment. We all knew that we didn't do a good job.
.......................
March 10th, cloudy weather.
Today is the fifth day of our recruit training. Today, the instructor told us that we can finally shoot.
I've always been interested in this kind of gun. Today, I can finally touch a gun.
Under the instructor's guidance, I fired thirty bullets. My shoulder felt very painful. As for where the bullets went, I don't know.
The instructor told me that this was the first time. It wouldn't happen in the future.
Even though my shoulders hurt, I still felt very happy.
............
On March 13th, the weather was clear, and a little sunlight began to appear in the sky.
It was shooting practice again this afternoon.
These few days, we have to shoot at least 30 bullets every day.
I can already see where my bullets are going.
The instructor told me that we have to increase the training volume today. Each of us has to shoot sixty bullets.
I touched my shoulder. Although it still hurt a little, I had gotten used to it after these few days.
.....................
March 15th, cloudy weather.
This morning, after we went out for a jog, we were told that we were going to help the people sweep the streets today. They said that this was the commander's order to let us integrate with the people.
He also told us that we were not allowed to violate military rules and mess with the people's things.
Although we weren't sure why they were doing this, we didn't object. We felt that this was more like an army.
......................
March 19th, today is the 14th day of our recruit training.
The army was about to start selecting the class monitor and vice class monitor.
I was appointed class monitor by the instructor, and the instructor said that I was very suitable for this position.
Hehe! I'm so happy. Monkey and Da Niu will be under my control in the future. These two fellow villagers envied them to death.
...........
March 20th. Today is the 15th day of our recruit training.
We've been training here for half a month.
Today, the instructor told us that the commander has given the order that we have half a day to go home to visit our relatives.
He had to be back for training before nine o'clock tomorrow morning.
He said that starting tomorrow, we will enter the real training.
Although we didn't know what real training was, looking at the instructor's face that had never smiled before, we felt that it wasn't a good thing.
