After being exiled, I led my whole family to rebel.

"Are you still afraid of rogue bandit attacks? Are you afraid that you have forgotten who is the biggest rogue bandit leader in the city now?"

Someone immediately stopped him in a panic: "Be careful! Be careful! At least this king doesn't kill people randomly, and he doesn't rob people's things. The life we ​​live now is no different from before. If it were another mountain king, I'm afraid There will be rivers of blood!"

"No, don't you know? Ye County next door was occupied by a mountain king, and there was a river of blood. The people in the city either fled early or were killed. I'm afraid it's an empty city now! At least! Our great king is a reasonable man. He says he is recruiting troops, but at least he also provides food and land. It is better than robbing people on the street!"

"Yes, yes, it also says that land will be allocated to the refugees before spring. By then, soldiers will have priority in choosing five acres of land!"

"Where can we find so much farmland near Lan County?"

"You don't want our land, right?"

"No, it says here that it will not occupy the land of the original people of Lan County, so we should all rest assured."

"After all, he is a bandit leader. Who knows whether his words are true or not."

"Whatever, anyway, I have a son at home. There are so many people in this city, and it's not our family's turn. Alas, what is Old Man Liu crying about?"

"You forgot, his family only has one daughter, and now she has to join the army. Tsk tsk tsk, do you think joining the army is a lie, and bringing all these girls to the royal palace is the real thing? Look at the conditions above. , if you want someone over 13 years old, it’s almost like an emperor choosing a concubine. A bandit is a bandit, and you can’t hide your fox’s tail now!”

"Fuck your mother!" The old man snorted coldly, "If the city lord really wanted to choose a concubine, why didn't he snatch away the pretty girls on the street when he entered the city? You don't have eyes, it's clearly written on it In Chu, the girls practice in the north and the men practice in the south. Men and women are completely separated. Three meals a day are provided, there is monthly money to be paid, and five acres of land will be given after one year. This is no better than working as a maid or a slave in someone else's house. Strong? Besides, what's wrong with women serving as soldiers? Then there are female generals in the book! If my girl is incompetent and can't be a female general, then she can practice martial arts and strengthen her body - "

Someone laughed at Old Man Zhang, "Oh, there is no escape for the three girls in Old Man Zhang's family. No matter what, we have to send one girl to serve as a soldier. It is rare for a woman to become a soldier. We are just waiting for you, girl." Get a general to come back and honor your ancestors——"

Old man Zhang ignored them, turned around and walked home.

Back home, Mr. Zhang's eldest daughter and second daughter all packed their things, tidied themselves up and neatly, and neatly tied up their long hair. They sat upright in the house, while the youngest pulled her back with a panicked look on her face. The sleeves of two sisters.

As soon as Old Man Zhang entered the room, he was stunned, "What...are you doing?"

The eldest brother, Zhang Wanjun, smiled and helped Old Man Zhang sit down. He glanced at his second sister, Zhang Qiuchan, and then said, "Father, my second sister and I are going to join the army."

Old man Zhang was horrified, "This is an unreasonable thing, why did you guys do it so quickly..."

"The city lord's people have arrived just now. Every household is mobilizing and conducting propaganda. Everyone in Lan County already knows about this matter. My second sister and I have also discussed it. Instead of pushing and pushing someone unwillingly, Why don't my second sister and I take the initiative to join the army?"

Old man Zhang said "Ah" and was about to retort, but was pressed down by Zhang Wanjun, "Father, please listen to me first. The city lord is a good man. If it weren't for the food he distributed a few days ago, we would have starved to death in this gourd." He is our benefactor, and now it is my duty to be called upon by my benefactor. Furthermore, my mother died young, and my father has dragged us three sisters along for the years, and we are already silver-haired when we are only forty. Our family is poor, so poor that even the matchmaker Even if you don’t want to step in, you can only pull us three sisters to grow up all these years.”

Speaking of this, Zhang Wanjun's eyes turned red and her voice was choked with sobs.

"My daughter also wants her father to raise his head and be a good man, and she also wants him to enjoy the happiness of human relations, so I discussed it with my second sister, and also asked the counselor who came to the house before. The city lord said that if a girl is given five acres of land, I Together with my second sister, we have ten acres of land. With these ten acres of land, our family doesn’t have to be dependent on others, and we don’t have to suffer from everything!”

Old man Zhang burst into tears when he heard this, and held the hands of his two daughters without letting go, "Son, one of you can go with me. The training is very hard, and you beat and beat like a man. What will happen to your future marriage if it goes away——"

The second daughter, Zhang Qiuchan, smiled and said: "Dad, the city lord said that he will take care of three meals a day. My sister and I will go, and the meals will be in the army. This way, the family can save a lot of food. You and my little sister can save some." Eat, at least it will last for a few months. We also told my little sister just now that she must take good care of you and take care of this family. The North City Gate is only two or three miles away from Hulu Lane. If anything happens at home, please report there directly. Just one sound."

Old man Zhang shook his head, "Son, it would be great to join the army, but throughout the ages, no woman has ever joined the army. Although our family is poor and has no choice but to do it, your marriage will be delayed in the future!"

"Dad! If we don't have these ten acres of land, then we are really delaying the marriage! Think about it, my sister is almost sixteen, and the matchmaker who proposes marriage has only come three or four times, and she says she is either a fool or a cripple! Besides, our family has no sons, so even if my sister is lucky enough to get married, even if she is bullied to death in her husband’s family, there will be no one to support her!”

Zhang Qiuchan was a little angry when she said this. She was as angry as a silver platter, but when she was angry, she had a kind of coquettishness, "Instead of just finding a fool and a lame person to marry, it is better to earn a few acres of land, so that I can speak for myself in the future." Straight up your back. No matter what, it’s better to recruit a son-in-law! With these ten acres of land, we have capital. Let’s see who dares to bully our old Zhang family in the future!”

"Dad, please stop trying to persuade me. My sister and I have made up our minds."

Old man Zhang lowered his hands dejectedly and expressed another layer of his worries, "Son, it stands to reason that the city lord saved our family, and I shouldn't say this. But the city lord said that the land should be divided after a year. Who knows if the city lord will still be there one year? Don’t forget, the city lord is a bandit leader. If the government soldiers come in the future, will they recognize our ten acres of land?"

The words made everyone in the room fall silent.

Zhang Wanjun said: "Dad, you can't say for sure what will happen in the future, but now the city lord's recruitment is imminent, and our family can't escape. No matter what, one person in our family has to join the army. In this case, why not take a gamble? Even if we don’t get these ten acres of land in the future, at least the city lord has promised to provide us with three meals, so we won’t lose anything.”

Old man Zhang looked at the two girls who had made up their minds and couldn't help but burst into tears. After much deliberation, he felt that there was no other way, so he had no choice but to wave his hand: "Go, go, just think of it as repaying the city lord for saving your life. Let's go. Work hard and let others see that even if our old Zhang family doesn't have a son, that girl is still very good!"

At the same time, some people are happy and some are sad.

Those in Lan County were naturally happy to have a son. Not only would they have three meals a day, they might also get five acres of land, so they happily sent their son to the army registration office.

If there is only a daughter in the family, he will not complain. After all, apart from a bad reputation, he has nothing to lose.

Besides, what’s wrong with the reputation? Their girl was captured by the Mountain King, and she didn’t go there on her own—

The three families who complained were Wang, Liu and Gu.

After these three families donated food and grass, they kept their heads down, thinking that the king would let them off the hook. However, when the announcement of the conscription came out today, it was like a wake-up call for the three families.

The three families must send one unmarried woman who is over thirteen years old to enter the military camp.

As for the Wang family, there is only the third child, who has just turned fifteen this year and has not yet said marriage, so he meets the requirements.

Wang Sanniang was naturally crying and unwilling. She had been raised delicately since she was a child, so she could not bear the hardships in the military camp.

Her mother hugged her daughter and scolded her that she shouldn't be picky. If she had known this, she should have settled the marriage earlier. Now her daughter is going to the military camp. Although men and women are trained separately, they have a bad reputation. Which good family would be willing to marry his Wang family in the future?

Wang Yin was so upset by the two women crying that he could only yell: "What's the use of crying? Cao Mang has already said that if you don't go, you will be beheaded. Are you afraid that you have forgotten what happened to the Chen family? You also want to move your head." Yes or no?!"

A sharp roar made everyone in the room stop crying.

The concubine of the Wang family was crying with tears on her face, but in reality she was hiding the smile on her lips with a handkerchief. She gave birth to a daughter, who was only ten years old and had just escaped this disaster. Seeing her mistress burst into tears, her heart was filled with tears. Already happy. She suppressed her pride and persuaded: "Third girl, this is the king's wish, and we cannot disobey it. It's a pity that Fourth Niang is so young, otherwise I really wish that Fourth Niang could take the place of Third girl. Let's think on the bright side, There are at least five acres of land left!”

Wang Sanniang said angrily: "Does my Wang family lack these five acres of land? This hairpin on my head costs more than ten amounts of silver. Who can get those five acres of land! I don't care, I won't go anyway, I have to go to you!"

"Are you allowed to run wild?!" Wang Yin shouted sharply, his face turned pale, but his tone was unquestionable, "You have to go if you want to go, and you have to go if you don't go. This matter is not up to you!"

Wang Sanniang cried loudly, with tears streaming down her face, "Oh my god, why don't you rain down thunder and kill that bandit leader! He asked for food, and our Wang family gave it to him! He asked for money, and the Wang family also gave it to him! Why didn't he just give it to him? Will you let me go—"

"Okay." Wang Yin was upset by her crying, but he still helped Wang Sanniang up, "Daddy knows that you are the one who has been wronged this time. If daddy has the means, he will definitely not let you go. Don't be upset, it's not just us. The Wang family, the Liu family, and the Gu family have to send people there. You may still be able to see your close friends by then, so you should go eat and drink and get together with your little sisters. If you believe what your father says, you are so reckless The leader won’t be able to occupy our Lan County for long, so you have to suffer for ten days and a half, and when he is brought to justice by the court, daddy will make it up to you!"

When Wang Sanniang heard this, she wiped her tears and rolled her eyes, "Dad, are you saying that Liu Pan'er and Gu Guihua are also going?"

Without waiting for Wang Yin to answer, Wang Sanniang answered by herself: "Yes, those who are over 13 years old and have no family members are the only ones."

Seeing that Wang Sanniang didn't seem so sad anymore, Wang Yin sighed and touched her head, "Be obedient when you go to the military camp and don't think about getting ahead. It's not like at home. Those bandits don't act according to common sense. If something happens , Daddy can’t protect you either.”

Wang Sanniang wiped away her tears and stood up from the ground, "Don't worry, Dad, since Liu Pan'er and Gu Guihua are also going, then Sanniang will go too. Sanniang will not cause trouble, let alone bring trouble to Dad."

Wang Yin was a little surprised by Wang Sanniang's sudden change of attitude, but he also smiled and said: "Sanniang is really sensible——"

The aunt on one side almost rolled her eyes, thinking that indeed the head of the family didn't know the woman's Xiao Jiujiu at all.

What kind of close friends? Every time these three people get together they either compare or quarrel. Just a few days ago at the Gu family's banquet, just because Gu Guihua wore the same bracelet as Wang Sanniang, Wang Sanniang insisted that Gu Guihua was deliberately following her. She hit the jewelry, while Gu Guihua kept complaining, and the two almost started fighting in front of the guests.

When Wang Sanniang came back, she was scolded by her wife. Wang Sanniang refused to accept it and kept scolding Gu Guihua for doing one thing before and another for others. These days, she was looking for opportunities to get back in the game.

Yes, several noisy girls gathered in the military camp.

These girls, one is more squeamish than the other, and the other has a bad temper. If they all come together, can they overthrow the military camp?
The news of Xu Zhenying's military conscription had been announced at the county government office, and she temporarily set up a publicity group and asked several women to organize to publicize the benefits of the conscription to every household.

In the afternoon, I heard a commotion outside.

Xu Zhenying led Qian Zhenniang and Xu Yinxi, quietly hiding in the crowd, and followed the people who signed up to join the army.

There are separate registration offices for men and women. Perhaps because of the five acres of land and the policy of providing three meals a day, the enthusiasm of the people in Lan County to join the army was unprecedentedly high. The male soldiers lined up in a long line and the process was in full swing.

Although there is no quota for male soldiers, after discussing with Ming Xiaoshuang, Mo Jinchun still felt that there were some requirements, so they stipulated height, weight, strength, etc.

She walked closer to the queue and heard some people complaining about the harsh conditions, some repeatedly asking if three meals a day were really included, and more people just came to join in the fun.

Qian Zhenniang was also frightened by the enthusiasm of everyone queuing up, and couldn't help but murmured: "There are so many people."

Xu Yinxi smiled at Xu Zhenying: "The city lord is right, inducement is the most effective. The male soldiers are not a big problem, we have to look at the female soldiers -"

Several people went to the registration office for female soldiers again.

Sure enough, compared to the bustle of the male soldier registration office, it seemed much deserted here. Some girls came to sign up crying, and some were reluctant but did not dare to show it.

Feng'er was at the center of the table. He saw such a few people and saw that most of the girls who came to sign up had gloomy faces. He couldn't help but smile and said: "Sisters and sisters, why are you so sad? We train separately from the male soldiers. One day We have enough food for three meals, and we can also get five acres of land. The city lord said that if bandits really attack the city, there is no need for us to charge into the battle. As long as we protect ourselves and the women in the city, this is a great thing! You see Look at the male soldiers, but they are all trying their best to take advantage of this——"

"Isn't this a great thing!" Two girls with pretty features strode over. They were tall and slender, but full of energy. They smiled when they saw people. The girls got out of the way, and those two He walked quickly to the registration office and said to the other girls, "We don't have a son, so the village didn't allocate land to my father. Now that we sisters have earned ten acres of land by ourselves, I am not inferior to anyone else! Besides, , learning martial arts can strengthen your body, and you can make so many friends. Maybe you can become a famous female general in the future, why not! Write our sisters’ names quickly, Zhang Wanjun! Zhang Qiuchan!"

Zhang Qiuchan also said: "Sisters, are you worried that the training is too hard? It doesn't matter. I have seen the male soldiers train, but they just ran around the city wall to practice their strength. Which of our girls here is not at home? Have you ever done farm work? According to me, training is much easier than doing farm work! After all, you don’t get paid for farm work, and training not only gives you a monthly salary, but you also take care of food!”

This was the first time Feng'er saw a girl willingly sign up. She was surprised and happy, and even praised her several times.

In particular, although these two girls wore old clothes and were washed white, and it was obvious at a glance that they were girls from poor families, their eyes were clear and their words were neither humble nor arrogant. They cheered up the girls in the queue with just a few words.

Feng'er immediately felt like she had found a treasure!
The girls were still crying before, but after listening to the words of the two Zhang sisters, they stopped crying.

Some people also took the risk and said loudly: "Whoever cares, they are here, what are you afraid of?"

"That's right, I still need to earn five acres of land for my brother!"

"That's right, I earned my own ground, and my waist is straight!"

"Isn't it just training? Who hasn't done strenuous work at home? I don't have any other strengths, but I have a lot of strength!"

The girls cheered each other up, wiped away their tears, and started to register in an orderly manner.

Seeing this, Xu Zhenying couldn't help but sigh with the two people around him: "Did you see that as long as the girls are given a chance, they can do something that is not inferior to the men!"

Xu Yinxi didn't know what she thought of, but she was also quite emotional, but her words were more certain and heroic, "Isn't it? Don't let us have a chance, otherwise women are like weeds under a big rock. , as long as there is a drop of rain or a ray of sunshine, we dare to break through the stone!"

Qian Zhenniang looked at these girls and felt a lot in her heart.

Three carriages happened to be approaching.

Three girls came out of the carriage. These three girls were all dressed in silk and satin, and were dressed in jewelry. They looked at each other, and then snorted coldly, as if no one was convinced by the other.

Just when Xu Zhenying was wondering, Xu Yinxi reminded her in her ear: "These three girls are from the Wang, Liu, and Gu families."

Wang Sanniang jumped out of the carriage first, and her voice was sweet and crisp: "Gu Guihua, why are you here to join in the fun? Being a soldier is not just playing house. I look at your big head and small limbs. I'm afraid a gust of wind will blow you away." Run, you’d better go back quickly——”
