Chapter 970 Luo Xing and Luo
Ji The third child born to Luo Chong by Zhan Ying was named Luo Xing, which means the prosperity of the Han tribe and the prosperity of the Luo family. After all, it was the second boy, how could it not be prosperous?
The leader's family was happy to fill the family, and the whole Hanyang City was in a festive mood. Many people who had a good relationship with Luo Chong sent gifts.
The governors of the eight counties of Hanyang were the first to hear the news, but they had official positions and could not leave their jurisdictions at will without Luo Chong's summons, but they still sent their wives or other family members to visit with gifts.
Luo Chong naturally accepted them one by one. This was a happy thing and there was no reason to refuse.
In the next few days, people came to give gifts one after another. Xiaodie's mother Shang also sent gifts. As the mother of the eldest wife of the leader of the Han tribe, she showed enough generosity and specially sent some cotton cloth woven by herself, saying that it would be used as diapers for the child.
Many people from Zhan Ying's family came to visit, especially Qubing's wife and her family. Qubing's wife was originally introduced to Zhan Ying by someone in the clan. Later, she got the photo studio business from Luo Chong. Now the family is doing well. This time, they took this opportunity to come and get close to each other.
Establishing interpersonal relationships, especially this kind of clan relationship, is the foundation of Han civilization. Luo Chong would not object to this. Although he often suppressed those big clans, suppression is suppression and non-opposition is non-opposition. This is the power of the emperor and cannot be generalized.
The people of Hanyang City were very happy to hear about this. Luo Chong also set up a thank-you table at the door of his house, and put a pot of boiled red-skinned eggs on the table. Anyone who passed by Luo Chong's house had to give one or two, just for the sake of auspiciousness and celebration.
Many people even came to give gifts, such as cotton cloth, brown sugar, eggs, millet, no matter how much, no matter how rich or poor, Luo Chong accepted them all, and of course he also gave gifts in return. As for those with higher status, they did not give gifts in return. When the child was one month old or one hundred days old, Luo Chong would have a banquet to entertain them.
On the fourth day after Luo Xing was born, it happened to be time for him to rest for illness, and this kid came to visit him. Now he has a wife, and with the task assigned to him by Luo Chong, this kid is particularly interested in having children.
"Okay, you have seen the child, you kid, hurry up and go back and work hard during your rest. Before the Shen Ce Guards go to war, even if you can't give birth, you have to let your wife get pregnant. Go home quickly, don't play with me." Luo Chong patted Qu Bing's shoulder and said.
Qu Bing scratched his head and giggled, and chatted with Luo Chong for a while before going home to have children.
On the sixth day after little Luo Xing was born, Xiao Die's due date also arrived. After a busy night, mother and child were finally safe. Luo Chong's fourth child was born smoothly, another boy, named Luo Ji by Luo Chong.
This name was taken from the ancient ranking, Bo, Zhong, Shu, and Ji, from the eldest to the youngest, Ji is the fourth, just like Liu Bang was originally called Liu Ji, which means the fourth child of the old Liu family. Liu Bang was named Liu Bang after he became the lord.
The birth of little Luo Ji naturally caused a cheer from the whole tribe. After all, the leader was so powerful, and now he has given birth to two children in a row. This is a true portrayal of the prosperity of the population. It means that the Han tribe has successors. Everyone is very happy, and of course they can't help but send gifts again.
Originally, it was a bit unreasonable for Luo Chong to accept another gift just a few days after sending it.
But, people came to send gifts when the second wife gave birth, and people couldn't help but express their gratitude when the first wife gave birth.
Luo Chong couldn't refuse, otherwise, what would Xiaodie think? She finally gave birth to a child, and the second wife's place was so lively and full of gifts, but there was nothing here, cold and deserted? !
Xiaodie didn't need to think too much, Luo Chong was afraid that she would suffer from postpartum depression!
So the gifts had to be accepted, and they had to be lively and festive.
Seeing that many people sent gifts again, Luo Chong couldn't just give them some return gifts this time, so he asked his family to set up dozens of tables of buffets in the alley at the door. All the people who came to congratulate, no matter what they sent, could come to eat, and they could bring their children to eat. Anyway, it was a three-day banquet, and even if the children came, they would be given eggs and candies.
The mother who was in confinement naturally couldn't come out to meet people, and the child was too young, so Luo Chong had to come out to socialize in person, but he didn't know how to split himself, so during the three-day banquet, he would only come out to entertain guests at noon.
As for the important guests such as the county governor and generals, Luo Chong replied that when Luo Ji was 100 days old, he would hold a 100-day banquet for the two children and then entertain them once. Everyone was happy to accept it.
After working hard for half a month, they finally entertained all the people who gave gifts. However, Luo Chong's family became more lively because of the addition of two new people. Especially the little Luo Cheng and the little Luo Lan, they were very excited every day.
"Dad, dad, I brought sugar-roasted chestnuts for my brothers. Can they eat this?"
The three-year-old little Luo Cheng ran to Luo Chong with a small basket of chestnuts in his hands and asked.
"They can't eat this yet. They haven't even grown teeth yet. How can they eat it? They can only drink milk now. You and your sister can eat these chestnuts." Luo Chong said, touching his eldest son's bald head.
"Oh, then dad, why did mom say that I had two teeth when I was born, but my brothers didn't?" Little Luo Cheng still asked in confusion.
"You, that's because your mother drank too much bone soup when she gave birth to you, so you were born with teeth. But even with teeth, you can't eat other things when you are born. You can only drink milk, understand? It was the same when you were a child.
"My younger brothers have to wait until they are six months old before they can eat other things, such as boiled eggs, and they can only eat one egg yolk at a time. They are too young to eat that much." Luo Chong explained to little Luo Cheng again.
"Oh oh. "
Little Luo Cheng seemed to understand, carrying the basket, walking away with his little butt twisted, muttering softly as he walked.
"My younger brothers are so stupid, how can they grow up without eating, and how can they ride the train with me if they don't grow up?"
Luo Chong was speechless after hearing this, he had been making a fuss for so long just to take his younger brothers and sisters to ride the train, to put it bluntly, it was all for fun.
It was the same with little Luo Lan, who was always around her two younger brothers. She used to be the youngest in the family, but now there are finally two younger than her, which made her very happy. Now she treats her two younger brothers like pets, and finds delicious food to feed them every day, but they are all rejected by Xiaodie and Zhan Ying.
However, with the two children making such a fuss, the house became more lively than usual, and the whole family, from the master to the servants and maids, were all in a happy mood.
But after a few days, the two children gradually lost interest in their younger brother. The reason was very simple, the two little guys did nothing but eat and sleep, sleeping all day long and being awake for less than half of the time. In the words of Luo Cheng and Luo Lan, "the two younger brothers are not fun at all."
The whole of Hanyang City was immersed in the joyful atmosphere of the leader's family filling a new member. Time passed quickly and it was the end of the month. Xingang County's mass-produced handcuffs were produced as required, and the first batch exceeded the task, producing a full 3,500 pairs.
After Luo Chong inspected the batch of handcuffs, he directly issued them to the soldiers of the Shen Ce Guard, asking them to distribute them to each soldier after completing the first phase of training assessment, so that they could train the skills of capturing prisoners.
On the other hand, after a month of intensive training, the soldiers of the Shen Ce Guard finally looked like soldiers. The most important thing was that they were fed thousands of rounds of bullets a month, and the shooting level of the soldiers had improved significantly. When it was finally time for the final assessment of the first phase of training, Qu Bing specially invited Luo Chong to visit the assessment.
Luo Chong had nothing important to do at home, and he also attached great importance to the training of the Shen Ce Guard, so he accepted the invitation.
On the day of the assessment, the soldiers stood neatly on the parade ground with their guns on their backs, and the mental outlook of the soldiers in the entire queue had obviously improved. They were no longer as carefree and undisciplined as when they first arrived.
After a month of training, the soldiers stood straight and in neat formation, especially their eyes. Although they didn't have the murderous aura of a battlefield, they looked very serious and disciplined. Luo Chong stood on the command platform and walked back and forth to scan them. These soldiers also looked forward. No one dared to whisper to each other. They were far from what they were a month ago.
"Well, the discipline training is good. It seems that this formation training is still useful. I just don't know how about other aspects?" Luo Chong commented with satisfaction as he looked at the soldiers lined up below.
"Don't worry, leader. If you don't believe it, you can check it at will!" Qubing said to his soldiers with great confidence.
"Well, this is what you said, so I will really check it." Luo Chong said jokingly while looking at Qubing.
"Hehe, the leader can check it at will, check anything."
"Okay, then let's have a formation exercise first." Luo Chong nodded and said.
"Yes, everyone, gather in platoons, all units, pay attention, start the queue drill in the order of the numbers." Qu Bing responded, and immediately stretched his neck to shout at the soldiers below.
The soldiers below also began to move quickly, and began the queue drill under the leadership of their instructors.
This queue drill is not just as simple as marching in step, standing still, and at ease. It includes many queue training items.
First, the formation practice is based on who is the benchmark, quickly aligning, turning left and right, front and back, marching in step, marching in step, standing still, at ease, and counting. These are the most basic.
Then there is the marching formation. The marching formation does not require all the movements to be consistent and marching like a military parade, but there are a few overall standards. The first is to march quickly, and the second is to line up the formation. Although the movements are not required to be consistent, the basic neatness must be guaranteed. This is very important. For example, if you are required to march during a retreat, if the formation is messy, it may turn into a rout.
Tactical retreat, organized retreat, and rout are different. The difference is huge, and it is related to morale, so it is very important.
Then there are several marching queue movements, including the gun-carrying style, which is to carry the gun vertically on one shoulder with the muzzle facing the sky; the gun-carrying style, which is to hold the gun tail with one hand, and put one end of the muzzle on the shoulder diagonally, with the muzzle facing backward and upward; the last is the gun-splitting style, which is the marching posture with the bayonet facing diagonally upward in the military parade.
After all the soldiers of the Shen Ce Guards turned around in front of the generals' stand according to this process, Luo Chong also nodded repeatedly while watching from above, and was very satisfied.
At the same time, Luo Chong was also sighing, and he had to say that the action of the gun-splitting style, especially the Type 81, Type 56, and Type 95, was not as majestic as the bolt-action rifle with a bayonet.
A bolt-action rifle of nearly 1.3 meters long, plus a half-meter-long bayonet, just this length, and the momentum of thrusting it forward, is simply not comparable to that of an automatic rifle.
Of course, this is about the spectacular level of the spear splitting style, but in terms of firepower, it certainly cannot be compared with automatic weapons.
"Well, not bad, the soldiers are very energetic, and the spear splitting action is also very good. Then let them do the stabbing exercise next to see if they are proficient in the action." Luo Chong nodded and looked at the soldiers below and asked again.
"Yes, everyone, assemble in the training ground and practice the stabbing exercise." Qu Bing agreed and shouted to the soldiers below again.
The instructors also responded immediately, leading the soldiers to run into the training ground, and then opened the distance according to the interval of two people in front, behind, left and right, and began to practice the stabbing exercise.
This distance is a bit large, but there is no way. The rifles and bayonets of the Han tribe are too long, adding up to about 1.8 meters, and the soldiers are too close to perform.
After the formation was completed, the soldiers below quickly shouted slogans, and practiced the stabbing exercise while shouting.
"Kill!" All the soldiers made a bow step and thrust in unison.
"Kill!" The soldiers turned around again and made a blocking action with the butt of the gun.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
More than 2,000 soldiers, holding 1.8-meter-long rifles, lined up below to practice the assassination drill. Every time they made a move, they would shout "Kill" to boost their momentum.
The scene was really shocking. It was much more impressive than those videos of thousands of people assassinating each other that Luo Chong had watched online. In fact, to put it bluntly, it was the effect of the large bolt and the lengthened bayonet. It was a bit awkward to practice the assassination drill with the Type 95 rifle and the multifunctional bayonet. It was not as good as the Type 03 rifle, at least that rifle was longer.
After the assassination drill was finished, Luo Chong nodded with satisfaction. He stood on the general's stand and watched. As the saying goes, "Standing high means seeing far", the whole queue was in full view. He could clearly see if there were people who were just filling in the numbers or whose movements were half a beat slower. It was for this reason that he was satisfied with the assassination drill this time, because he basically didn't see any major problems. The soldiers were still very familiar with the movements of the assassination drill, which showed that they had been trained a lot.
"Okay, that's it for the queue and assassination tests. You've passed. Now let's start the shooting test."
"Yes!"
