He Daqing, do you know how I've lived these past years?

After Silang finished speaking, he started the Lu Wang chariot. Saizhou and Changshou got into the chariot and hurriedly followed the main force.

Uncle Liu then directed the people behind him and the donkey cart toward the courtyard where the fire had subsided.

Upon seeing the hundreds of artifacts piled high at the entrance, everyone was immediately startled. From a distance, it looked like just a watchtower, but upon closer inspection, it was truly terrifying.

Seeing the familiar beard and hat, everyone's expressions turned solemn, and they quickly went into the courtyard to investigate.

But there was nothing inside except for the charred corpse.

Some people went into the room and immediately shouted.

Everyone was filled with rage after seeing the horrific state of the room.

Many people banged their heads against the wall and cried as if they were going crazy.

Uncle Liu, who was in the lead, waved his hand and walked towards the soldiers who were being led away and crying, towards the outside of the courtyard.

They soon arrived at the woods a mile away. Looking at the mountain of supplies and ammunition in front of him, Uncle Liu sighed deeply.

"A son should be like Yue Weiguo."

A true gentleman who upholds justice

Fight bravely against the enemy, risking their lives.

The crippled body defends the country in the green hills

Unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness, helping all living beings

Who in the world does not know you?

……

"Ow"

Leyou stretched out his arms and yawned, then looked at the soldiers patrolling around him and quickly jumped off the donkey cart.

Just then, Jingxian came over carrying a bowl of porridge and some sausages.

"Brother, you're awake! You've been asleep for two days!"

Leyou was completely bewildered. Where was he now? Was he still near that courtyard?

"We're already in Chongqing now. While you were asleep, the military academy kept sending telegrams urging us to hurry. So we've been marching at full speed."

Looking at the stunned Le Youjingxian, she covered her mouth and laughed as she spoke.

Has everyone taken a break?

"Yes, in the afternoon, the villagers from Changshou's village even brought some meat to treat us."

Ugh~

If you keep going west, you'll pass by many of your younger brothers' houses.

Ugh~

"Now it seems like we're really back in your home base."

Looking at Jingxian, who was vomiting as she spoke, Leyou asked with concern:

"What's wrong? Is it that you can't eat this sausage? It's delicious, except for being a little spicy."

"Ugh... I don't know. Lately, I always feel nauseous after eating, but I can't vomit."

Leyou quickly finished her porridge and then dragged Jingxian to find their master.

"Master, could you please take a look at Jingxian? She says she's been vomiting a lot lately."

The master, who was sitting on the tank, jumped down with his right hand and took Jingxian's wrist to check her pulse.

a moment later

Haha, okay!

The master smiled and stroked his beard, saying:

"You're going to be a father! Jingxian, you're pregnant!"

Leyou looked at his master and immediately jumped up excitedly:

"I'm going to be a father! I'm having a baby!"

He quickly ran over, picked up Jingxian, and spun her around.

The soldiers nearby kept congratulating Leyou.

The guards also shouted:

"Oh, oh, I'm going to be an uncle!"

It wasn't until Jingxian embarrassedly punched Leyou's shoulder a few times that he was finally put down.

"Sai Zhou, Chang Shou, come here and take the money. Go buy some more food and wild game from the surrounding area. We'll treat everyone to a good meal today."

"Brother, these surrounding counties are all ours, we don't need any money."

"What are you saying? If you don't give them money, what will they eat?"

"By the way, you mentioned earlier that there were over two hundred people. In that case, all of you should go out later and distribute this money to the families of your fallen brothers."

Leyou quickly walked to a large box, continued collecting empty ammunition, and took out half of the remaining small yellow croakers and put them into the box.

"First Battalion Commander, escort them in batches."

"But let's eat first before we go."

When Pan Gui and the others walked to the wooden box, they were excited and kept expressing their gratitude when they saw the dozen or so boxes of small yellow croakers inside.

……

After the meal, the battalion commander sent men in batches to escort the boys away, and Leyou also got ready to depart.

Just then, a horse came galloping from afar, carrying an officer.

He claimed to be an instructor and was carrying customs clearance documents.

The troops immediately set off on a forced march towards Chengdu.

However, many tragic events occurred along the way. The compensation brought back was only small amounts, and the families of the sacrificed children could not afford such a large sum of money. Therefore, many people bought some of the grain and meat from the village and mobilized the whole village to carry it to the only road to Chengdu.

Each time they were stopped, a few guards would return to their posts.

Even the instructors on the side were dumbfounded. "Public opinion is too good," they thought. "If we didn't know the details, we would have shot Leyou immediately."

The will of the people is not afraid of your opinions, but it is afraid of you having opinions when you gather together.

As the boys from the guard company returned, the rations for the main force improved significantly.

The most obvious thing was that in the first few days, thousands of people squatted together on the ridge of the field, while Nianmin had already started to walk and would call people "father," which often resulted in Jingxian catching him and spanking him.

"Brother, Chengdu is just ahead."

He looked on sadly at Leyou and said.

"Don't give me that sour look. I'm going to study. You're just temporarily under their control, not being incorporated into their ranks."

Leyou, with a large nose, hits Pan Gui.

At that moment, the roar of engines could be heard in the distance.

I took out my binoculars and saw that they were two military jeeps.

They soon arrived in front of Leyou.

Meanwhile, I, the instructor beside me, spurred my horse to the side and whispered:

"They are Army Lieutenant General White's men, and your unit will be temporarily under their command."

Leyou nodded after listening and handed over the duties to the officer who came over.

He then gave some instructions to his master and the others, took out two small yellow croakers and gave them to his master, handed over his precious manual and the previous Sunny Day Medal, and then got into one of the jeeps and left.

The main force, led by instructors and in other jeeps, headed toward the valley on the right.

……

Leyou sat in the jeep, gazing at the towering city wall before him, and felt a moment of disorientation.

Without realizing it, I asked, "Where am I?"

The officer driving in front also replied:

"This is Beijiaochang in Qingyang District. Let me show you around first, so you can see the school's archway and Huangpu Building."

"Since you are a member of the 8th training class, you will be going to the South Training Ground. In August, you will be divided into different disciplines. You will be divided into ten detachments, which will be uniformly organized into the First Infantry Battalion, with three companies under it. You will be stationed at the West and South Training Grounds."

We had a very enjoyable trip and soon came across the archway.

It reads:

"For promotions and wealth, go elsewhere."

Those who fear death and are afraid to live should not enter this gate.

Central Military Academy

Upon entering, you are greeted by a huge open space, with a drill ground to the east where some trainees are standing, and a hexagonal tower and a lookout pavilion in the distance.

There is also a playground to the west, but this playground has many facilities.

Overpasses, rocking horses, single and double bars, and further away you can see human-shaped targets standing there.

Continuing forward, Leyou discovered a bronze statue standing behind a platform.

The officer in front explained:

“That’s the flagpole, and the bronze statue behind it is our principal,”

Before he could finish speaking, another archway appeared.

The officer quickly added:

"This is the Gate of Struggle"

Leyou also looked back; there were words written on the door as well.

"Researching a Brand New Military Science"

"Expected to be a pillar of the Party and the State"

The word "serious" was written on both walls.

Turning her head, Leyou could vaguely see a small Western-style building in front of her.

Only after receiving the answer did I realize that it was Huangpu Building.

The officer then stopped the car and explained:

"The first two floors are Western-style buildings, called the Chiang Kai-shek Hall. Meetings are often held there, and movies can also be watched and balls can be held."

"There are gardens on the sides and behind."

"The platform in front of the building is called the Zhongzheng Platform. Officials give speeches and address their superiors from there."

The square we are in now is where we will be reviewed and assembled.
