Chapter 10: The Three Major Disciplines

Father, is it not so? Father, I see that these uncles and brothers are all good people, and from their conversations, I vaguely hear that they, like us, have just lost their family members. If only...

Very well, I do not care whether you genuinely support me or are merely flattering me, but it is imperative that you put this into practice. This can be considered my first command. Of course, starting tomorrow evening, we will commence cultural education. The first lesson will focus on explaining these disciplinary issues. I am telling you this now to give you a psychological preparation.

Perhaps, regarding this arrangement, you may have doubts and your own opinions. However, I do not wish to know your views and suggestions at this moment. Whatever thoughts or opinions you have, keep them buried in your heart and reserve them. Do you understand

Yue Weihua spoke at a measured pace, essentially word by word, while Yue Hai and the other six listened attentively, each holding the paper and pen that Yue Weihua had prepared in advance, carefully recording each point, and occasionally nodding in agreement

In other words, the Black Dragon Army is a force of ethnic soldiers, a guardian deity of the Huaxia nation. Given this, we have no reason to bully the good and kind, nor should we engage in beastly acts

At this moment, Yue Weihua was not at all aware of his own issues; on the contrary, under the dim light of the candle, he was discussing the present and future of the Black Dragon Army with six other platoon leaders, including Yue Hai, with great enthusiasm and confidence

Obeying orders is the duty of a soldier, and directives from superiors must be executed without fail, especially on the battlefield. Even if it means sacrificing your life, you must not show the slightest sign of hesitation. This principle must be ingrained in your very bones, reflected in the blood of every soldier, so that each soldier can instinctively carry out orders upon hearing them.

However, I want to tell you that it is actually not too early; stating this now is to establish this rule from the very beginning, so that everyone understands from the outset that all confiscated items must be returned to the public.

Perhaps sensing the thoughts in Bian Jiu Jin's heart, Bian Jiu Gen patted his son's shoulder and said gently, "Son, do you think that your father wants these people to confront Lin San in a fight, thereby achieving the purpose of revenge?"

"Rest assured, Commander, I will definitely take care of these matters," replied Yue Xiaodong earnestly

... ...

Fortunately, Yue Weihua was in luck, just as Bian Jiugen had said, the notorious bandit Lin San had just visited two days ago, so Yue Weihua still had the opportunity to make amends for his oversight

On July 20, 1900, the Black Dragon Army officially took the stage of history at Shili Tun, located more than ten miles south of Aihun City.

Since the massacre at Shilitu, many vagrants and the homeless have come to Shilitu one after another. However, apart from the first group of five family members who arrived here, the subsequent groups of people were all frightened away by the father and son, Bian Jiugen.

We, the Black Dragon Army, are absolutely not bandits, but rather a military force of the new era. Although we have just been established and are still in our infancy, and have not yet begun formal training, each of us, especially those present here, must keep this in mind: we are an army. Therefore, since we are an army, we must conduct ourselves as such. I would like to propose three preliminary military regulations:

Yue Weihua had also considered explaining things to them properly, but even if he explained it himself, they might not understand. What is the purpose of military posture training? And what is the point of running training?

The Yue family has been passed down for over 800 years, with each generation continuing the tradition. Perhaps the military strategies of our ancestors are somewhat outdated, but the three principles mentioned by Yue Weihua can actually be found in the military strategies of our forebears. The first principle is simply to ensure orders are followed and prohibitions are observed. The second principle is to avoid infringing upon the common people in any way. The third principle is that everything belongs to the "Emperor"; of course, the Emperor of the past was an individual, while the Emperor of today is a collective.

Of course, there is also training in a queue, which primarily aims to enhance teamwork and cultivate mutual trust among members. This is essential for new recruits and is of utmost importance.

Therefore, Yue Weihua's plan is to go directly to the training ground tomorrow, as everything will be led by himself, and everyone can just follow along with the practice

Although the Black Dragon Army will one day shake the world, on the day of its establishment, apart from the one hundred and eighty-four members of the Black Dragon Army, there were only two witnesses, and they were two witnesses who had remained hidden in the shadows throughout. They were a father and son, the father being Bian Jiugen and the son being Bian Jiujin

However, the thought of practicing military posture made Yue Weihua's heart skip a beat; this was not an enjoyable task. Reflecting on the military training he had participated in during his previous life, as well as the grueling special training he later underwent at a security company, he still felt a lingering sense of trepidation.

The crowd appeared somewhat puzzled, but Yue Weihua had no intention of explaining. Instead, he took out a piece of paper and handed it to Yue Hai for them to circulate. It detailed the training schedule for the entire unit starting from tomorrow, with the main contents as follows:

Thirdly, all confiscated items must be credited.

The reason for driving away those who come to settle here is due to the resentment of the notorious bandit Lin San. He desires this settlement to become a completely desolate place. Therefore, anyone who dares to settle here must be killed. The first family of five to arrive at Shili Tun was exterminated in front of the eyes of Bian Jiugen and his son.

Although Bian Jiugen has just turned forty, he is undoubtedly an old hunter. His more than twenty years of hunting experience have endowed him with extraordinary patience and perseverance. Although the hatred in his heart is nearly driving him insane, resorting to any means is not in his character. He can rely on capable individuals, but if there is truly no way to resist, he will not let others die in vain. This is his bottom line and principle

Alright, it is getting late. Oh, by the way, Xiaodong, a carpenter will deliver the wooden target early tomorrow morning, and the chefs will also be coming over. Please take charge of arranging this matter.

Father, do we still need to dress up as ghosts this time to scare them away?" Bian Jiu Jin's voice was somewhat hoarse, a characteristic of a boy going through the voice change period

1. Wake up at 5:40 AM, and from 6:00 to 7:00 AM, the entire army will participate in a collective morning run

Perhaps you may say that discussing this matter now is a bit premature

Revenge

In fact, the training of military posture, for a soldier, serves not only to change one's physical form but also plays a significant role in honing a person's willpower, organizational discipline, obedience, and various other aspects.

Secondly, it is prohibited to commit adultery and plunder, to insult the virtuous, and to engage in coercive buying and selling

2. Breakfast is from 7:00 to 7:30

Bian Jiugen and his son have another identity, which is that they are among the only two survivors among the more than 130 people in Shilitun.

7. From 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM, this is designated as cultural class time, primarily focusing on theoretical knowledge such as military discipline, strategy, and tactics.

Yue Hai was the first to express his stance, followed by Yue Hu, Yue Weiyun, Yue Qingjie, Yue Qingren, and also Yue Xiaodong, all of whom firmly expressed their support. Especially Yue Xiaodong, who has completely changed his view on Yue Weihua. Initially, he thought that Yue Weihua had formed a 'bandit' group solely for revenge, but it now appears that he was entirely mistaken. Yue Weihua's ambition is indeed considerable, perhaps...

The reason they were scared away rather than daring to persuade them to leave is that the Bian family, consisting of nine members, did not dare to show themselves. Because the notorious bandit Lin San knew that the father and son were not dead, he had never given up on monitoring Shili Tun.

6, from 5:30 PM to 6:00 PM, is the dinner time

4. From 12:00 PM to 12:30 PM is lunchtime; from 12:30 PM to 1:30 PM is naptime

You must have heard about how bandits distribute their loot after successfully raiding a kiln, right? You should also have heard about the internal conflicts that arise due to unequal distribution, haven't you?

3. From 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM, the first, second, and third squads will conduct military posture and formation training, while the fourth, fifth, and sixth squads will engage in shooting practice; from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM, they will switch sides. (This arrangement is primarily due to venue limitations)

Although most people have little interest in military posture since participating in military training in elementary school, the benefits it brings are undoubtedly significant, especially for new recruits. This is also why so much time is dedicated to training military posture in Yue Weihua's training schedule

"Nine Jin, no need, these people are not ordinary individuals. Perhaps this is our opportunity, an opportunity for revenge." In the trembling voice of Bian Jiugen, there was a hint of excitement

Hehe, my son, rest assured, your father has not been blinded by hatred to the point of resorting to unscrupulous means. What I mean is, Lin San's subordinates just came to check a couple of days ago, and according to the pattern, they won't send anyone again for another three to five days. Therefore, let us observe a bit longer. However, regardless of the circumstances, your father will find a way to inform them of the truth, ensuring that they do not suffer any losses.

Regarding the positioning and characterization of the Black Dragon Army, I would like to emphasize the following points. You must listen attentively, take careful notes, and deeply reflect on them. Then, step by step, influence the warriors around you, ultimately allowing the Black Dragon Army to rise amidst these white mountains and black waters

Nevertheless, regardless of the circumstances, practicing military posture is essential, as it enhances a person's sense of strength and composure. What does it mean to stand like a pine tree? Once the military posture is established, the impression it conveys is undoubtedly a comprehensive enhancement of one's spirit and vitality

Just as Yue Weihua was about to announce the end of the meeting, Yue Hu could no longer hold back and hurriedly said: "Um, Commander, I have a question, where are our guns?"

Cultural subjects

Yue Weihua was still unaware that he had already been targeted as soon as he stepped into this village. Ultimately, it was a lack of experience; he entered the village with over 100 people but did not even conduct basic reconnaissance. Moreover, that very night, instead of ensuring safety, he led everyone to indulge in drinking without even arranging a single sentry.

First, obey orders and follow commands

I do not want our troops to encounter such a situation, do you understand

Bian Jiujin was taken aback, as his father harbored an inner expectation for revenge. Bian Jiujin empathized with this sentiment, knowing that it might be a rare opportunity. However, when he thought about how this group of people entered the village and went straight to the cemetery to pay their respects, he felt a surge of guilt. This was primarily due to the significant shadow cast by the notorious bandit Lin San over him. In his mind, Lin San was invincible, and if a good person were to lose their life because he failed to give a warning, he would be plagued by inner unease and the pangs of conscience.

At this moment, it is already past nine o'clock at night, and as the banquet of the Black Dragon Army comes to an end, the entire Shili Tun begins to gradually quiet down. At this time, Bian Jiugen and his son, who had been hiding not far behind the courtyard of Yue Weihua on the hillside, finally climbed down from a large tree and silently walked into the mountains. It was not until they had crossed over this small hill that the silence was finally broken.

This must be deeply imprinted in the hearts of every soldier of the Black Dragon Army. Here, I can responsibly state that anyone who violates this military discipline, regardless of who they are, will be severely punished

The massacre in the village is fundamentally related to Bian Jiugen. During this period, Bian Jiugen has been filled with guilt and unease. Therefore, Bian Jiugen and his son do not wish for future generations to continue being killed by Lin San. This is why they devised the strategy of pretending to be ghosts to scare people. In this way, not only can they save others, but also, due to the village being haunted, it can cause Lin San to let his guard down. This is one of Bian Jiugen's objectives.

... ...

Of course, this public matter does not refer to you, nor to me, but to the entire collective of our Black Dragon Army; this is something you must understand

5. From 1:30 PM to 3:30 PM, the fourth, fifth, and sixth squads will conduct military posture and formation training, while the first, second, and third squads will engage in shooting practice; from 3:30 PM to 5:30 PM, the two sides will switch activities

In recent days, I have been consistently stating and emphasizing that the primary and most immediate purpose of the team we are preparing to assemble is revenge, to stand against the old Russians. However, I must say that this is merely the most superficial goal. The deeper objective is to protect our people, safeguard our nation, and defend our territory

Commander, we certainly support these three disciplines and firmly uphold them. We will set an example for the soldiers under our command and influence the surrounding soldiers through our words and actions
