Chapter 22 Sir! Yes, Sir! (2/2)
”You will undergo a training that is much harder than you have experienced or imagined in your lifetime.”
Tong paused, checking the reaction of the crowd. The camp was silent, only Tong's voice resounded here.
”If you succeed following my orders and my training …”
”Within three months, no thug in this neighborhood can be your match.”
”Within six months, no mountain bandit can beat you in one-on-one fight.”
”Within a year, you can be strong enough to even take on 10 men by yourself.”
”If you follow me until the end, even elite imperial soldiers will cower in fear before your presence!”
”If you want to be stronger and follow me, I want you to step forward and make rows.”
Two thousands eye pupils expanded and focused on Tong. The promises and the training supervised by an immortal interested them. The die-hard fanatics already made up their mind to follow Tong even before Tong gave out his promises.
Tong planned to steal these obedient men from Zhang Bao and turned them into his private soldiers. They would be transformed into the elites of the elites that many warlords would drool in jealousy.
As for Zhang Bao himself, Tong would bribe him with his gold later on.
One gold was enough for a farmer family to live without working for the rest of their life. Yet, Tong had over 2,000 gold storing in the warehouse.
With a thousand gold, Zhang Bao could reform another 1,000 men army with leather armors and simple weapons easily. So Tong didn't feel a bit guilty about ruining Zhang Bao's current camp.
...
The soldiers lined up in rows. It took a while to complete the formation. Arranging uneducated one thousand men was much harder than managing a couple hundred men company with several drill sergeants in the modern military boot camps.
”Stand up straight, with your hands on your side.”
”Raise you chin up! Face straight forward.”
”Keep looking forward. None of you should be looking at anything but what is in front of you.”
”Keep staring straight even if what in front of you is a pile of dung of your mother or your sister is having an affair.”
”Any moron that I find glancing around or move your head, I'll blow your head off with my magic!”
A simple threat and order worked like magic. All men were already pressured by Tong's sorcery and his status as an immortal. No one dared to be disobedient.
”First lesson that I'm going to teach you is the words that you can speak or address to your superiors.”
”Unless I give you a permission, you cannot speak a single word.”
”From here on out I will tell you what to do, how to do it and when to do it.”
”What I tell you from now on is not a suggestion or an option or a request.”
”You will address me as 'SIR', not young master Zhang or Immortal Zhang.”
”The words that you could speak to me from now on is 'YES, SIR', 'NO, SIR' and 'AYE AYE, SIR'.”
”You will respond 'YES, SIR' or 'NO, SIR' when you are answering my questions.”
”You will respond 'AYE AYE, SIR' when I'm commanding you to do something.”
”Do you understand what I taught you just now?”
””… Yes, sir?””The soldiers hesitatingly answered.
”All of you! Repeat after me! YES, SIR!”
””Yes sir.””
”Bullsh*t! You all are whispering like c**k sucking prostitutes. Say it louder! YES, SIR!”
””Yes, Sir!””
”I can't hear you! Louder!”
””YES, SIR!!””
”I'll ask you again. Do you understand my simple lesson!?”
””YES, SIR!!!!!!””
”Do you want to be a dignify soldier that can make your mama proud?”
””YES, SIR!!!!!!””
”Do you want those abs that can make your neighbor girls spread their legs to seduce your c*ck!?”
””YES, SIR!!!!!! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)””
”All men! Turn right! We will run around the camp one more lap! You, you and you, lead your row and start running!”
””AYE AYE, SIR!!!!!””
Tong grinned. Though he roughly copied the processing technique from the drill sergeants and RDCs from the military boot camps in his previous life, it could still be applied here with a few alteration.
