Volume 11: The First Law Chapter 34 The World Knows I'm Different
The atmosphere in the mine reached its peak at this moment, almost frenetic.
After all the Hu family members died in the anger of the miners, when their emotions calmed down a little, Lu Qingshan immediately asked the miners to set up a stove in the square.
The charcoal fire in the stove was burning brightly, and the iron was burning red in it.
Those "lowly" miners lined up in front of the furnace.
The well-trained Dragon and Phoenix Guards turned into "tattoo artists" at this time. They picked up the iron brand and printed a big mountain character on the chest of all the miners.
Amid the sizzling sound, the aroma of meat filled the air.
This was an extremely painful punishment, but the miners' faces were filled with immense joy and excitement.
Because it is proof of their identity.
From this moment on, they were no longer lowly slaves, but people with free personalities and part of the "Qingshan Army".
After their identities were branded, the miners would receive a copy of "Qingshan Sword Technique II" and would eagerly walk aside to read it.
For them, this is not just a sword manual, but also hope.
——Qingshan swordsmanship is a peerless swordsmanship in this world. As long as one can master it, it is enough to make a person reach the top in one step and possess combat power that cannot be underestimated.
From today on, they no longer need to mine day and night, all they have to do is practice.
And they didn't just practice hard on their own, they also had the Dragon and Phoenix Guards to practice with them, and even the compiler of the sword manual personally guided them.
This is a treatment that even the children from the most noble families cannot enjoy.
After all, when it comes to swordsmanship alone, Lu Qingshan is undoubtedly the best in the world.
The imprint of the mountain character lasted all night.
When the last miner had the word "mountain" printed on his chest and received the sword manual, the sky was just getting bright.
The sun rises, and the light falls on Lu Qingshan who is standing on the high platform.
At this moment, he emitted a brilliant light, brighter than the sun, making people dare not look directly at him.
…
Under Lu Qingshan's suggestion, this mining town was transformed into a military camp in just a few days.
Lu Qingshan ordered everyone to adjust their residences. At the same time, he asked the miners to elect a hundred squad leaders from among themselves to start an "arms race" - to see which team could master "Qingshan Sword Technique II" first.
In the huge square.
All the miners held standard iron swords and swung them in a methodical and precise manner.
Gu Tianyan was in charge of the drill, while the other Dragon and Phoenix Guards moved among the crowd, providing guidance.
The miners were strong, but after all, they had passed the golden age of martial arts and had no foundation, so they were extremely clumsy when practicing sword skills, and they were basically using iron swords as pickaxes.
The only advantage of these people is that they are extremely hardworking and willing to work hard.
But this is not enough, a strong army requires much more.
The miners in the mines trained day and night. At the same time, a series of strict and almost harsh military disciplines and regulations were freshly issued.
These harsh laws and punishments that even the Dragon and Phoenix Guards were shocked by were obeyed with astonishing acceptance by the miners who had never received any military training, which made the Dragon and Phoenix Guards have a different perception of the lower-class people.
There are three main reasons why the miners have such a high acceptance of strict military discipline.
First, their years of experience as miners have made them accustomed to this high pressure.
Compared with the fatigue of mining and the unreasonable whipping from supervisors, what is there to resist about the clear military discipline and regulations?
Besides, the fact that you have three meals a day and are full is far beyond what mining can compare to.
Second, the miners know that this is an opportunity to change their own future and the future of their descendants.
They have to catch it.
Third, the miners at this moment have an almost blind fanaticism towards Lu Qingshan, and regard Lu Qingshan, who liberated them and gave them hope, as their spiritual leader.
This kind of enthusiasm, if nothing happens afterwards, will gradually return to normal with the passage of time, but at least at the moment, it is extremely intense.
After the military regulations were introduced, the atmosphere of this grassroots team suddenly changed.
The strict training made them more solemn and murderous, and they finally took shape as the rudiments of an army.
But the peaceful days can't last too long.
This mine needs to transport the accumulated ore to the nearest city every month, and bring back a batch of food and miners from there.
Even after Lu Qingshan dealt with the Hu family, he immediately blocked the news.
But when the time comes, if the ore is not shipped out as scheduled, the Hu family will naturally find something wrong.
Counterattack will follow .
When Lu Qingshan took over the Daqing Mine, ten days had passed since the last ore delivery from the Daqing Mine.
So, now they only have twenty days left.
Time is running out.
Lu Qingshan did not hide this from the miners and told them the truth.
But this did not scare the miners. Instead, it made them train even harder.
…
Finally, the time for delivering the ore arrived as scheduled.
In the square, thousands of miners formed an army formation, ready for battle, and the atmosphere was solemn.
Lu Qingshan, dressed in armor, strode onto the platform.
The field was silent, with only the sound of Lu Qingshan's footsteps and the clanging of armor rubbing against each other echoing.
Climbing onto the high platform, Lu Qingshan looked around the place and saw that all the soldiers were wearing helmets and armor, holding weapons, looking at him fanatically. Compared with twenty days ago, their spirits were completely renewed.
Thousands of people gathered in one place and yet were able to remain silent. This kind of discipline was like that of an army.
But Lu Qingshan also knew that an army that had not experienced the trials of blood and fire would be just a mere decoration no matter how "good-looking" it looked.
A strong army is built through fighting, not training.
He held a flagpole in his hand, waved it vigorously, and stuck it on the stage.
The flag is unfurled, fluttering in the wind.
It was actually the character "山".
"This flag with the word 'mountain' on it is the flag and the soul of our Qingshan Army!"
"There are green mountains everywhere in the world. One day, our Qingshan Army will be like those green mountains, spread all over the world." Lu Qingshan said loudly.
"General!" the entire army shouted in unison.
"The deadline for delivering the ore has come, and the Hu family's counterattack is not far away. But we must understand that passively taking a beating is by no means a hard truth. We must take the initiative to send troops."
Lu Qingshan drew out the Dragon Bird, and seeing that everyone was staring at him, he said in a loud voice: "Today, we will strike the first sword of our Qingshan Army's revolutionary uprising in Anling City!"
Anling City, a city under the jurisdiction of the Hu family, is also the city closest to the Daqing Mine. The ore from the Daqing Mine is usually transported here.
"Let's start the war today!" Gu Tianyan responded loudly.
"Let's start the rebellion today!" shouted a hundred sergeants and squad leaders selected by the miners themselves.
"Rise! Rise! Rise!" the entire army shouted in unison, with one wave of shouting overwhelming the next.
This kind of morale and military cohesion can usually only be achieved by an invincible army. It is hard to imagine that it would appear in a new army, a grassroots army.
Gu Tianyan looked at Lu Qingshan, his blood boiling, and thought secretly that some people are born to be generals.
Lu Qingshan waved his hand and said, "Let's go. This world will be changed by us!"
Amid the excitement, the army marched out of the Daqing mine.
The flag with the word "mountain" on it flew as the army advanced.
The thick and long flagpole is made of fine iron, and the word "mountain" dances in the wind like a dragon rushing straight towards Anling City.
Lu Qingshan took the lead and rode at the front of the army.
He wore the Dragon Bird Armor around his waist. His armor shone in the sun and his shadow was stretched out very long.
At this moment, Lu Qingshan was filled with a passion to conquer the world:
The world knows that I am different.
