In years of famine and drought, their village even rejected fatty meat.

"It's not difficult to register a household in Chenjia Village."

Chen Dao said slowly and deliberately, "As long as you train hard and become martial artists and formal team members as soon as possible, you will automatically obtain household registration in Chenjia Village."

"Great!"

The crowd below the stage was overjoyed, never expecting such treatment from joining the Chenjia Village Guard Team.

Looking at the joy on the faces of the people below the stage, Chen Dao also smiled. The reason he came here to speak today was not only to let these new recruits get to know him, but also to increase their sense of belonging!

More than 90% of the new recruits this time did not come from Chenjia Village or Xiaohe Village, but from other villages and the county town.

Ensuring the loyalty of these new recruits was undoubtedly an extremely important matter for Chen Dao.

The generous welfare and benefits offered by Chenjia Village would undoubtedly foster a certain level of loyalty among these new recruits.

Of course, that alone is not enough.

Prior to this, Chen Dao had already checked the information of these new recruits with the county government to ensure their status as respectable men, or rather, men from farming families.

Feudal states often preferred to recruit soldiers from peasant families because peasants had very simple family backgrounds and social relationships, were less susceptible to external influences and interference, and were also highly loyal to the state.

In addition, farm boys are more hardworking and have a stronger sense of obedience and discipline, which are advantages that thugs and ruffians cannot match.

This is why Chen Dao only recruits sons of farmers. In addition to giving these new recruits generous treatment, the Chenjia Village Guards, who are responsible for training them, will also instill in them the idea of ​​loyalty to Chenjia Village and Chen Dao.

With this two-pronged approach, these new recruits will inevitably develop sufficient loyalty to Chenjia Village and Chendao, becoming the backbone force in protecting and ensuring the safety of Chenjia Village!

"All right!"

Chen Dao gestured for him to stop, "That's all I have to say. Let's begin training!"

Chen Dao nodded to Chen Da below, then turned and left!

After Chen Dao left, Chen Da and the other members of the original guard team immediately sprang into action. Each of the original 33 guard team members (excluding the two guards) took about 10 new recruits and taught them the Tiger Subduing Fist!

"Now I'm going to demonstrate the Tiger Subduing Fist to you, so watch carefully!"

Chen Da stood in front of the 10 new recruits and began practicing the Tiger-Taming Fist.

Chen Da is the fastest improving person in the entire guard team. He has now reached the eighth rank. The fierceness of the Tiger Subduing Fist is fully displayed on his body. His fist is sharp and powerful, as if he could really kill a tiger.

Fang Yong, who was watching Chen Da practice his boxing, was secretly alarmed. Because he was teaching them, Chen Da's punching speed was not fast. However, Fang Yong had no doubt that if Chen Da's fist landed on him, he would be seriously injured in an instant!

"Is this what a martial artist is?"

Fang Yong stared intently at Chen Da's movements, as if trying to memorize the entire fist technique.

Before long, after finishing his Tiger-Taming Fist routine, Chen Da put away his stance and looked at the 10 green recruits in front of him: "Did you all remember it?"

"No."

"Captain Chen, we didn't remember it, could we try again?"

"Captain Chen, let's do it one more time!"

"..."

Fang Yong and the others shook their heads in unison. Although the Tiger Subduing Fist was not complicated, it was not something that could be memorized in a short time.

"Row!"

Chen Da knew that it wouldn't be easy to memorize the Tiger Subduing Fist in one go, so he quickly started practicing again, deliberately slowing down the pace so that everyone could learn from it.

Fortunately, everyone was very enthusiastic about learning martial arts, or rather, becoming a martial artist. They all opened their eyes wide and tried their best to remember his moves.

After Chen Da demonstrated the Tiger-Taming Fist three times, they had memorized most of the moves. Then, the group dispersed and, under Chen Da's guidance, began practicing their own forms.

Fang Yong recalled Chen Da's actions in his mind, threw a punch, and his expression changed instantly.

Why is this movement so strenuous?

Fang Yong threw another punch using the same stance as the Tiger Subduing Fist, his expression growing increasingly strange. For a young man like him, throwing a punch should have been easy, but the Tiger Subduing Fist was completely different. The movement seemed no different from a regular punch, yet it consumed a tremendous amount of energy, even…

It takes even more effort than when Fang Yong usually wields a hoe to do farm work.

"This martial art is truly amazing!"

Fang Yong knew that this must be the wonder of martial arts, so he did not pause at all and practiced the Tiger Subduing Fist step by step according to the memory in his mind.

Meanwhile, other new recruits practicing the Tiger-Taming Fist also noticed something was amiss.

"Why is this boxing style so tiring?"

"Weird!"

"So tired!"

"..."

After practicing just a few moves, many of the new recruits began to breathe heavily.

This situation was bound to happen. Practicing the Tiger Subduing Fist requires a lot of energy and blood, and these new recruits who used to suffer and barely have enough to eat obviously do not have enough energy and blood. Therefore, practicing the Tiger Subduing Fist is not an easy thing for them.

Fortunately, these new recruits from rural backgrounds were not lazy or unwilling to work. Even though learning the Tiger-Taming Fist was extremely difficult, they persevered through it all.

But soon, many new recruits couldn't hold on.

"No, no, it won't work!"

A new recruit, having finished practicing the Tiger-Taming Fist once, plopped down on the ground, panting heavily, and said, "This fist technique is too tiring, I can't take it anymore!"

"I can't hold on any longer!"

"I feel like all my bones are about to fall apart, and I have no strength left!"

"Me too!"

"..."

Many new recruits collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted, not even wanting to move a finger. They felt as if their bodies had been hollowed out, their foreheads were covered in sweat, and their faces were pale – signs of excessive depletion of vital energy.

Chen Da looked at the new recruits who had fallen to the ground, but he wasn't particularly disappointed. When the Chenjia Village Guard Team was first established, his performance wasn't much better than these new recruits.

but……

Chen Da turned his gaze to Fang Yong, who was still persisting, and a look of approval flashed in his eyes.

Of the 10 new recruits he was training, 9 had already given up, only Fang Yong was still persevering.

"call!"

Fang Yong was breathing heavily, his eyes filled with determination. Although his body was exhausted, he still persisted in his boxing movements. He knew that this was his only chance to become a martial artist, so even though his body was exhausted, he still dared not relax!

After performing the Tiger-Taming Fist three times, Fang Yong finally collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

"Your name is Fang Yong, right? You're quite good!"

Chen Da walked up to Fang Yong and said with an approving look on his face.

"Captain Chen, don't joke with me!"

Fang Yong said with a wry smile, "I was exhausted after only three rounds of punching. I can't compare to you at all!"
