This was also his first time taking on the role of an instructor, so he had to fumble his way through everything. But even if these bandits could learn a little, it would still be good.
"I can work on the Yang Clan's side and preserve this settlement. But what if the Kyung Clan really does manage to consolidate the valley? What if they find us here?" Yang Xiaojin suddenly asked. How could the bandits possibly go up against the power of the consortiums? The reason why the bandits could survive in the valley was because they were nimble.
Yang Xiaojin put away her sniper rifle. "Now, let me explain to you what discipline is. First, you have to obey orders and execute them."
So when Ren Xiaosu guessed that the Kyung Clan was behind all this a few days ago, he was no longer flustered. After all, he had worked with the Kyung Clan so many times.
Yang Xiaojin had told them that if one of them did not memorize it, the others would not be allowed to learn how to use a gun.
Yang Xiaojin had deliberately given them this hope, but it was as though she wanted to personally snuff out their thoughts.
Jin Lan asked, "Um … Sister-in-law!"
They had thought that Yang Xiaojin was a sniper, but they did not expect that Yang Xiaojin could even conjure a sniper rifle. It was no wonder they did not see where she hid it.
To put it bluntly, she was good at running away.
This made Jin Lan anxious. "I'm telling you, Old Sixth Yan, you have to memorize it even if you don't know how to. Don't embarrass our team. I'm still waiting to learn how to use a sniper rifle."
This was not something useless. On the contrary, Ren Xiaosu believed that there was no discipline in the army. He could not forget how sloppy the first time he saw the private troops, nor could he forget how shocked he was when he first saw Qing Zhen's troops and how they obeyed his orders like tanks.
Jin Lan's eyes lit up when he heard this. "You can even teach us how to use a sniper rifle?"
But Yang Xiaojin said to them, "Let me explain the five rules of our team. Everyone must memorize them, and not a single one of them must be correct."
Discipline was the first step in ideological work. Only after that could one slowly talk about things like a sense of belonging and honor.
After repeating it several times, the pig-headed bandits could not remember it no matter what. Yang Xiaojin got Jin Lan to write the five rules on the ground with a tree branch. There was no need for them to understand it. They just needed to memorize it.
Jin Lan turned anxious when he heard that. Why did he have to memorize the rules? Back when he was at school in town, what he was most afraid of was memorizing lessons. Why did he have to memorize lessons now that he was a bandit?
She felt that this place was becoming more and more interesting. At a certain moment, she suddenly began to look forward to the day when there would be brick houses, acres of fields, groups of children, and laughter.
However, once a permanent settlement was established here, they would not be able to run away. As long as they ran away, all of their previous efforts would be for naught.
However, some of these bandits did not even know how to read. They could not understand the rules that were clearly written on the ground.
Meanwhile, sniper rifles represented the pinnacle of firearms.
"Alright then." Yang Xiaojin nodded. She did not object to Ren Xiaosu becoming friends with Qing Zhen and Luo Lan, nor would she ask Ren Xiaosu to help her locate the Kyung Clan's nuclear test site. This was her own business and the Saboteurs' business. It had nothing to do with Ren Xiaosu, so there was no need to impose such a responsibility on Ren Xiaosu.
"What's there to be afraid of?" Ren Xiaosu said with a smile, "Since ancient times, a strict teacher has produced a brilliant disciple, a dutiful son has been beaten, and an iron army has been tempered. You might think that making them suffer too much might cause them to fall apart, but I think that suffering will bind them tightly together."
Discipline was the code of conduct of the military. It was the external manifestation of combat effectiveness, the spiritual belief of the military, and also the image and honor of an army.
The corners of Yang Xiaojin's mouth curled up slightly. "It's alright."
Ren Xiaosu said with a smile, "It's fine. Qing Zhen and Luo Lan both owe me quite a favor."
He only wanted to tire these people out so much that they would not have the energy to think about their "little schemes" so that they could accept something new.
They were talking about snipers! Just thinking about it made him a little excited. All men loved guns because firearms represented strength, security, and authority in their eyes!
Yang Xiaojin glanced at him before conjuring her sniper rifle. Jin Lan and the others gasped. These two were actually fucking supernatural beings!
Ren Xiaosu turned to Yang Xiaojin and said with a smile, "What do you think of my ideas?"
But how could he get rid of this idea? When Jin Lan heard that, he realized that there were two or three people among them who could become snipers. Who knew if he could become one of them?
Ren Xiaosu chuckled and said, "There can't be an army without discipline. This is the only way to go. There's nothing we can do about it."
Yang Xiaojin said calmly, "Aren't you afraid that you'll cause them to break up?"
Then Yang Xiaojin suddenly said, "Those who get their hands on guns can take lessons. I wonder if there are any potential snipers among you."
Ren Xiaosu did not think he could control everyone. After all, he was not a god.
"Didn't Big Bro say that he's going to teach us firearms?" Jin Lan said anxiously, "Why do we still have to memorize those pesky rules?"
But he was not in a hurry because he still had time.
This was something that Ren Xiaosu had specifically instructed them to do. Ren Xiaosu hoped that they could learn a little bit of unity in the process of helping others.
At this point, Yang Xiaojin raised her eyebrows when she heard how Ren Xiaosu addressed her. But she did not say anything in the end. "What's the matter?"
Before hitting the iron plate of reality, everyone would hope that they were the lucky ones!
Whether it was saving Luo Lan or helping the Kyung Clan set up a defensive position, these were all favors they owed.
Doing heavy labor for a day was already the limit of what an adult could do. Ren Xiaosu was not trying to squeeze their labor out of them, so he did not intend to tire them out.
Jin Lan whispered, "Sister-in-law, can I have a look at that sniper rifle of yours? I've never had the chance to see it up close before."
At this time, some of the bandits would definitely be slowly changed. But there were still some stubborn ones who would still look on skeptically. But because of their fantasies about Stronghold 178, they decided to wait and see.
But in these troubled times, was there really such a possibility?
When this group of people started memorizing, Yang Xiaojin walked over to Ren Xiaosu, who was nearby. "You can say that it's been hard on them."
Yang Xiaojin said calmly, "Don't get too excited just yet. Being a sniper is a given. Out of the 200 or so of you, only two or three of you can become a sniper at most, so don't get your hopes up."
The bandits were stunned. So it turned out they would only be qualified to take firearms lessons after accumulating enough bullets and obtaining a firearm. Jin Lan touched the three bullets in his pocket bitterly. He thought to himself, 'I guess I'll have to wait another 20 days before I can learn how to use them.'
In the evening, Yang Xiaojin did not give them any firearms lessons. Jin Lan and the other bandits who had only recently joined the military wanted to take firearms lessons the most. Furthermore, Yang Xiaojin had already demonstrated her powerful marksmanship when she was fighting them. So when Yang Xiaojin informed them that the lessons would be held, everyone was very happy.
What did discipline mean to the military?
Yang Xiaojin sneered, "Do y 'all have guns now? How are you going to take firearms lessons?"
Yang Xiaojin glanced at them. "It's too early to be happy. All of you better memorize the rules. Otherwise, none of you can even think about touching a gun."
