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

The one named Gu Guihua was obviously not a good person. She lightly flipped her hair and replied with all her strength: "Sanniang, this woman is an order from the king to serve as a soldier. We, the Gu family, naturally have to respond positively. You are considered an old man. You want me to go back?"

The girl walking at the end was obviously the girl from the Liu family. She held her forehead weakly and sighed, "Oh, why are you arguing? Are you making other people laugh? Let me tell you, why don't you two fight? Well, whoever wins gets to leave. Anyway, I won’t leave. Daddy said that if I become a female general, I will give my aunt’s snow-white puppy to me.”

Xu Zhenying's jaw dropped.

These three young ladies... are really like each other, each mountain is higher than the other.

"Huh, you're like this, and you still want to be a female general? A female general should be like me, of course. I pulled up willows and broke rocks on my chest. If you don't believe me, let's compete -"

"What's the point of comparing here? If you have the ability, go to the military camp and compete. Whoever loses will be treated as a grandson!"

"Let's go, whoever is afraid of whom!"

The three girls looked at each other and then rushed to the registration desk with lightning speed.

"I'm the first!"

"I'm the first!"

"I am first!"

Three voices sounded at the same time, and then they glared at each other. You squeeze me, I squeeze you, and it seems that you have to be the first one.

Feng'er was stunned, then smiled and said: "The three girls are very ambitious. Come on, please register your personal information."

Xu Zhenying looked at the three girls and couldn't help but find it very interesting. She smiled and shook her head: "Young people, you are full of energy."

Xu Yinxi hid her smile and said, "Now the women's barracks is lively."

Later in the evening, Jiang Yongkang, Ming Xiaoshuang, and Feng'er came together to report on the recruitment situation.

To Xu Zhenying's surprise, within a day or two, Xu Zhenying's target of [-] male soldiers and [-] female soldiers had been recruited.

Feng'er also said that the situation among the female soldiers was better than expected. There was no crying or panic. One hundred girls living in the military dormitory were chattering and it was as lively as the Chinese New Year.

Xu Zhenying smiled after hearing this and said with a smile: "People follow the herd effect. Feng'er, you are responsible for the affairs of female soldiers. Although these girls have bravely taken the first step, they are extremely sensitive in their hearts. You must spend more time." Focus on cheering them up and don't let the morale of the female soldiers be low. Especially when the training becomes more intense later on, or if there are any rumors in the city, you have to pay attention in time and relieve them in time."

Feng'er nodded, "City Lord, according to your previous instructions, I divided the female soldiers into groups of twenty. Each group has a team leader. I also asked a thoughtful woman to be the instructor. Once I find out what the female soldiers have, I will handle the situation promptly."

"Feng'er's work is very solid." Xu Zhenying praised, Ming Xiaoshuang and Jiang Yongkang also looked at Feng'er with smiles, and Feng'er was quite embarrassed.

"Although it's still a little cold right now, we can't let our guard down on city defense. Official drills will begin tomorrow. Tomorrow I'll go to the women's barracks to give a mobilization speech and ask Fourth Sister to draw up a first draft outline."

Xu Yinxi quickly jotted it down with charcoal pen.

Under the leadership of Xu Zhenying, everyone in the Xu family is accustomed to using charcoal to write notes, mainly because it is convenient, fast and does not smudge.

"Also, the intensity of the female soldiers is gradually increasing, and the intensity does not need to be too high on the first day. According to the previous arrangement, the female soldiers will practice in the morning and study in the afternoon, while the male soldiers will do the opposite. Yongkang is responsible for the training, and Ningmo is responsible for providing training to the soldiers. Lectures. Alternate morning and afternoon, I'll ask you to work harder. Alas, why don't you see Ningmo? "

Qian Zhenniang immediately replied: "Fang Ningmo said that Mr. Fang has just come back these days and is not in good health, so..."

Qian Zhenniang was not used to calling Fang Ningmo by his first name, but Xu Zhenying had requested that she either address him by title or call him by his first name when discussing matters. She seemed to have gotten used to it after repeating this a few times.

"Ah." Xu Zhenying was thoughtful, but quickly forgot about Fang Ningmo, "Zhenniang, I asked you to contact the carpenter in the city to make a batch of training equipment. How is it now?"

When Qian Zhenniang was called, she immediately replied: "City Lord, the carpenters are already working on the horizontal and parallel bars, physical training equipment, obstacle equipment, and high and low crawling nets you want. However, they are also following the drawings. It will take time. They can be done in about three days." over."

"Okay. Where is our temporary canteen?"

"We just set up a tent and hired more than a dozen women who knew how to cook. We will follow the standard of two meat and two vegetables. Manager Miao is personally responsible for the procurement. She is currently undergoing emergency training in the canteen and will start work tomorrow. people."

Qian Zhenniang also learned to be smart subtly. In the past few days, she had been paying attention to Xu Yinxi's work with 12 points of energy. Combined with Feng'er's advice, Qian Zhenniang also slowly learned how to handle government affairs with ease.

After two days of running in, Qian Zhenniang gradually figured out Xu Zhenying's style of doing things.

To work for Xu Zhenying, you must first be diligent, clever, observant, and capable of execution.

The word "strong execution ability" was taught by Feng'er, which means that she must remember and implement every detail mentioned by Xu Zhenying.

Especially when Xu Zhenying asks about something, she must clearly explain the current progress, whether there are any problems, how to solve them, and when they will be solved.

So before Xu Zhenying could ask questions, Qian Zhenniang had already taken out the wooden dinner plate behind her and handed it to Xu Zhenying's table calmly, "I have asked the carpenter to make the dinner plate you mentioned before. Okay, let’s see how it works.”

Xu Zhenying looked at the familiar dinner plate and was reminded of the scene of eating in the cafeteria when he was studying for his Ph.D.

Except that one is made of stainless steel and the other is made of wooden plates.

Xu Zhenying held it in his hand and observed it carefully, "Yes, let's do this and make a thousand of them first. Our county government will also need them later."

"Okay, then I urge the carpenter to do it as soon as possible."

Xu Yinxi behind her gave Qian Zhenniang an appreciative look.

Even Feng'er secretly gave Qian Zhenniang a thumbs up.

Qian Zhenniang's face turned slightly red and she calmly withdrew.

"The rest of the things are almost done. The only thing you need to worry about is the training content and daily management. Jiang Yongkang, you can do this as you please, and you need to report more to me. Remember, I want more than just soldiers, but A team of generals who are capable of both literary and military skills. These people may join the army, politics, or literature in the future, but they all need to lay a solid foundation now. You must not relax."

Jiang Yongkang looked at Xu Zhenying, as if he suddenly understood the profound meaning in her eyes.

If his guess was correct, Xu Zhenying really had that plan.

If this is the case, Lan County is their first city, and these first batch of soldiers are particularly important.

Jiang Yongkang tacitly raised his hand and promised solemnly: "Don't worry, City Lord."

Early the next morning, both teams began training.

At the same time, the entire Lan County was also alarmed.

It was still dark, so the instructors woke the girls up. While they were still asleep, they were asked to run around the city wall.

This circle is five kilometers.

In an instant, yesterday's beautiful atmosphere was broken.

The girls wailed, but still got up from the warm bed.

So the people of Lan County saw this wonderful scenery for the first time.

As soon as the rooster crows once, the sound of uniform footsteps is heard in the city, and at the same time the girls shout slogans such as "one, two, three, four".

This rare scene in a century naturally aroused everyone's curiosity.

Countless civilians wrapped themselves in coats, opened their doors, stretched their necks, and pointed at the retreating female soldiers.

"Hey, this is the first time that the old man has seen a girl practicing in this old age." "It's too hard for the children. They have to get up before dawn."

"This is all the fault of the mountain king!"

"I see these girls are so thin that they could be blown over by a gust of wind. Why do they still need to practice? Don't cry later!"

"How can girls endure such suffering? This charge has always been a matter for men. I don't know what the mountain king thinks, but he insists on dragging women to practice. It is simply ridiculous!"

When the girls arrived at the training ground one after another, they were all exhausted. Some of them sat down on the ground, some were so tired that they could not stand upright, and some had red faces and tears in their eyes, but the instructors still held their hands. The whip was repeatedly struck on the ground, and the people who were sitting down were shouted at, forcing everyone to stand still.

Some girls have already begun to cry and complain.

After all, they were afraid of Xu Zhenying's ruthless methods of killing the Chen family, so the girls all dared to be angry but dared not speak out, only holding back their anger.

"Stand still, stand still!" Feng'er was wearing long clothes and long trousers, with her hair pulled up high. She looked very cheerful, "Don't be crooked, you are not ordinary girls now, you are female soldiers now! You are a soldier. If you want to look like a soldier, stand up straight!"

The girls recognized that Feng'er was someone who was with King Shan, and she had been practicing with them just now. When they saw the people from the Xu family at the front of the team, their anger subsided for a moment.

There are not many female soldiers who have signed up. Including some people from the Xu family, the entire team has almost 100 people.

At this moment everyone stood in a square shape.

The wind blew loudly, making people's faces hurt.

At this moment, everyone saw a thin figure coming out at the front of the team, followed by Feng'er, and several people from the Xu family followed.

Wang Sanniang took a closer look, gasped in fright, and quickly said to the girls around her: "Look...that person seems to be the king!"

Most of the girls had no formal training and did not look like soldiers at all. When they saw something strange, they all stuck their heads out to take a look, and the team suddenly dispersed.

City Lord, why is he also in the team?
Could it be that he was also practicing together just now?
Jiang Yongkang frowned, as if he was very dissatisfied with the training effect. Xu Zhenying beside him smiled and said: "Yongkang, don't be anxious, it's the first day, everything must be done step by step, give the girls some time."

Everyone watched as Xu Zhenying walked onto the high platform of the training ground. The girls looked over curiously, as if they wanted to see what the rumored Mountain King looked like.

Some people showed fear and hid behind.

"Bah bang bang!" Xu Zhenying clapped his hands, everyone followed the sound and looked over, and the scene was as quiet as a tomb.

Then everyone saw Feng'er taking a trumpet-shaped iron box and handing it to Xu Zhenying. Xu Zhenying raised the thing to his mouth, and the sound instantly came from far away, as if he was close to his ears.

Everyone felt magical for a moment.

"Everyone, I am Xu Zhenying, and I am also the Lord of Lan County."

Some brave girls raised their heads to look at Xu Zhenying, only to see that the man was the same height as them. He had a childish look on his face, his skin was very white, he spoke with a smile, and he looked very friendly.

The girls really couldn't connect this smiling man with the executioner who killed all Chen's family that day.

This city lord... looks very kind.

There were also girls with red cheeks.

The city lord also had a nice speaking voice, he sounded very gentle, like a scholar.

"Please also stand still and listen carefully to every word I say next."

Now that Xu Zhenying had spoken, the girls moved symbolically and stood upright.

"I know that most of you were forced to come here. You don't want to come. If it weren't for these five acres of land, you might never have any contact with being a soldier in your life. You are complaining about me, Hate me, annoy me. I can understand that."

Some girls' eyes suddenly turned red.

Some stared at Xu Zhenying on the stage with resentment on their faces.

Some still lowered their heads.

"In establishing a female soldier team, I encountered a lot of obstacles. Not only you, the people under my command, but also the people of Lan County. Everyone is not optimistic about the formation of female soldiers. But why do I have to fight against it? Are you going to push forward this matter as much as possible?"

"Some girls may say that charging into battle is a matter for men, and it has nothing to do with you girls. Girls only need to take care of the affairs of the back home and take care of their husbands and children. Okay, then I want to ask you today It’s—”

"Since you say that charging into battle is a matter for men, let me ask you, whose business is it that ranks first in the imperial examination? Whose business is it that makes you a prince or prime minister? Whose business does it have to honor your ancestors?"

The people below didn't know what it meant, and there was total silence.

"Yes, it's all men's business. What do women do? Women only need to dress up beautifully, sit at home, wait for a husband they have never met and don't know his temperament, and then give their whole life to a stranger. Whether you live well or not depends entirely on God's will. It is what you call fate! But as for men, as long as they have talent, temperament, and family background, they can firmly control their destiny in their own hands. With just a little effort, you can achieve achievements that are beyond your reach in your lifetime, and you haven't asked why, why?"

The girls who were chattering just now were all silent now.

Some of them are asking themselves, yes, why, why.

"Perhaps some of you have something to say, because they are men! Men are strong, can farm in the fields, can carry on the family lineage, and can honor the ancestors! Then I want to ask again, who said these words?!"

A girl replied weakly: "But everyone in the world says so -"

"Yes, it is Tsuna's ethical code that men farm and women weave. This has been the case since ancient times."

Xu Zhenying pressed the speaker tightly and said word by word: "Then let me ask you one more thing, is this right since ancient times?"

"Are you exhausted today? I might as well tell you that the training in the future will be more difficult and tiring! These days are just gradual, and in a few days your training volume will be the same as that of male soldiers!"

The girls below were in an uproar and began to talk about it.

Xu Zhenying continued: "I just asked two questions, one is why, and the other is why. Answer the question of why first, because you yourselves have already decided that you are inferior to men, and you accept this calmly Facts. You tell yourselves with peace of mind that you are just not as good as men. You can’t do the things men do, and it’s useless if you do them. In this case, why do you do them? So you don’t dare to rush forward or go forward. Qian Chuang, am I right or not?!"

There was a girl underneath who was gnashing her teeth and staring at Xu Zhenying fiercely.

One girl looked stunned, as if she was seriously thinking about what Xu Zhenying said.

"As for the second question, why. I also want to ask why there are two sets of standards for men and women in this world. Men can have three wives and four concubines, but women must stay together; men can look for flowers, but women have many If you ask yourself about marriage, you will be labeled as a frivolous person; the world requires men to make contributions, but only requires women to be docile and obedient. Who can tell me, what is the use of being obedient?"

When Wang Sanniang heard this, her face turned pale, and her mind seemed to explode. She asked loudly and without hesitation: "City Lord, you said it nicely. Our girl's family has no strength, no ability to establish a foothold, and no money." , We have no talent in our hearts, what else can we do except listen to our father and brother and try to find a place to stay?"

It was rare that Gu Guihua and Liu Pan'er were on the same side. They felt insulted like never before and spoke up for themselves with red faces: "Sanniang is right! What can we do if the world is like this?"

Zhang Wanjun said: "What the city lord said is wrong. My father has no sons, and I am the son of the family. I do all the heavy work in the family. I have a lot of strength and am as strong as any man! I can do what a man can do." But when they saw that I was a girl, they didn’t want me at the dock, in the military camp, or as a busboy in the restaurant. I had all my strength, but I could only die of starvation, thirst, and thirst at home!”

"You also think it's unfair, right?" Xu Zhenying's eyes flickered. She spoke very slowly, enough for more than 100 people present to hear clearly, "Some of you are as talented as your father and brother, and some of you can write You know, there are people who are talented in martial arts. But just because you are women, you can only hide your clumsiness and be looked down upon all your life. If you want to show your talents, they say that it is virtue for a woman to have no talents; if you want to show your strength, they They say that women are beautiful because of their weakness; if you can write, do math, and want to do business, they will say that you are not a woman in public. After all, the men in the world want you to be stupid, obedient, and submissive. Why, because they are afraid! "

When Xu Zhenying said something, not to mention these one hundred soldiers, even Feng'er, Xu Yinxi, Qian Zhenniang, Lian Shi and others who were following her felt their hearts pounding.

Someone immediately asked: "What are they afraid of?"

Xu Zhenying smiled lightly and said firmly, "They are afraid of you. Because they know that you have the toughest character, the strongest endurance, the smartest mind, and the most lasting perseverance. They are afraid that as long as they give you the slightest chance, You will overwhelm them!"
