Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 492 Great General King of Wei ([-]th)
Chapter 496

In fact, there are strict restrictions on marrying a wife and taking concubines. This is a symbol of status. How high a person's political status and wealth can be, how many concubines can be taken.Common people are not allowed to take concubines. According to the regulations, common people's men are over forty years old and have nothing to do before they can take concubines.

Then the problem arises, Yecheng alone has taken in more than [-] homeless women who were rescued by Ran Min.

And more than [-]% of these more than [-] women have various mental illnesses. These people need to be fed and treated, which has become a big burden for Wei Guo.

In this era, although Ran Ming put forward the industrial concept, various factories in Wei State also sprung up like mushrooms after rain, but due to the primitive technology, the production efficiency is relatively high, and the production environment is harsh, except for textile factories, and some relatively Labor-saving work is suitable for women, and men are required to do other positions.

During the Battle of Ju County, Ran Min analyzed the combat situation and combat effectiveness of the Luan Guard Army. Ran Min was shocked to find that if the command of the Luan Guard Army was not chaotic, their combat effectiveness could almost reach [-]% of the elite troops of the Wei Army.

Therefore, at that time, Ran Min had the idea of ​​developing female soldiers to support the number of male soldiers in the second-line and third-line troops, and maximize the productivity of men.

Now the focus of the Wei court is on the female soldiers. In ancient times, men were the sky and women were just vassals.Even if they were women from noble families, their status was nothing special.Can a woman be an official?Can women serve in the army?These issues caused fierce debates among ministers at all levels of Wei State.

I don’t know three days have passed, but Ran Min found that although there are many women in Ye City in Wei State, the number of people who signed up to join the army is very small. do it.

Ran Min couldn't figure it out, so he had to call Tiao You, Shen Zhong, Liu Qun, Cui Yue and other ministers to discuss countermeasures.

"Why did no one in Wei respond to my call?" Ran Min was full of confidence and planned to liberate the men and develop Wei's national strength, but it was not as good as being a teacher, which made Ran Min very depressed.

Cui Yue thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, think about it, this situation is nothing more than a possibility. At present, we have a shortage of talents in the Great Wei. First of all, there are very few people who can read and write. I am afraid that less than one in a hundred. And the number of women who can read and write is even higher." Less, or even less than one. Because of the lack of literate people, His Majesty's promulgation cannot be effectively conveyed to every subject, and the subjects cannot understand His Majesty's meaning, so naturally they cannot respond to His Majesty's call!"

Ran Min said indifferently: "In this case, how to solve this problem, and what countermeasures do you have?"

Cui Yue said: "Your Majesty, this is actually a very easy solution. Your Majesty can strictly order the local government to strengthen publicity. While posting the announcement, order the literate government officials to read it along the street. This will make it easy for the subjects to understand His Majesty's intentions!"

"Perhaps there is another way!" Liu Qun said in a flat voice: "The King of Jiaodong used to hold an opera with a story in it, and once it was held widely, the response was strong. Therefore, His Majesty may order Mulan Pavilion All Le Ji, based on the deeds of General Lie Wu, it will be adapted into an opera, and it will be popularized in Yecheng and throughout the Great Wei, so that it will definitely attract those women to be loyal to Great Wei and join the army enthusiastically!"

Then Ran Min ordered Mulan Pavilion in Yecheng to adapt it into a stage play based on the battle deeds of Luanwei Army in Ju County, and promised that as long as the performance was good, there would be a big reward.

Mulan Pavilion is an entertainment organization established by Ran Ming, and it is the first brothel that sells performances without selling itself.

In particular, well-known stories such as "The Butterfly Lovers" and "White Fox" were plagiarized by Ran Ming in this era and became his tool for making money.For this stage play, Mulange thought that there was not much difficulty.

The next day, Mulan Pavilion replied to Ran Min that the script had been prepared, and more than [-] musicians were ready to perform at any time.

When Ran Min heard the news, he was very happy, so he ordered a stage to be set up in Mulan Pavilion on Zhuque Street to hold an open-air performance.All Yecheng officials, whether civil or military, must attend the performance, which is a political task.

At the same time, the performance is free and open to the public.

Since there were no entertainment programs in ancient times, this performance was the best reward for the people of Yecheng.Mulan Pavilion is the most famous gold-eliminating cave in Yecheng, and most people really can't afford to go there.The free performance attracted countless people in Yecheng. On the night of the performance, the entire Zhuque Street was crowded with people.

With the sound of "House of Flying Daggers" plagiarized by Ran Ming from later generations, the stage covering an area of ​​more than [-] square meters suddenly fell into darkness.

After a while, countless candles blazed, illuminating the entire stage as if it were daytime.

At this time, a prop city wall appeared on the stage, with "Juxian" written on the top of the city gate, and under the city were groups of Jin troops with bright armor, with spears like forests and knives like mountains. City cars, nest cars, siege ladders, etc. are all available.A civil servant in a green robe appeared on the city wall. Facing the murderous Jin army, thin sweat appeared on his face.

In fact, this Jin army unit is not an ordinary actor, but the Wei Guo Imperial Guard.No matter how good an actor is, he can't perform the aura of the Jagged Army.

The generals of the Jin army came out and shouted: "Surrender, you will not die, if you don't surrender, the whole city will ignore military discipline for three days!"

Ran Min was at the VIP seat, and he could clearly see that countless people below were clenching their fists tightly, and their faces were flushed red.People's breathing became short of breath.

The civil servant played by the actor is of course Yu Geng. At this time, "Yu Geng" puffed up his chest and shouted: "Geng was born as a minister of Wei, and died as a ghost of Wei. The Great Wei has only soldiers who guard the land and die for the country, and there are no cowards who are afraid of death and surrender. !"

Then, countless actors followed Yu Geng and shouted: "Swear to live and die with Ju County."

At this moment, Liu Qun turned around inadvertently, and suddenly found that Ran Min's face was full of tears.

"Your Majesty!" Liu Qun didn't know what to say.Ran Min wiped away his tears, and said seriously: "There is nothing else, it's just a matter of touching the scene!"

Ran Min couldn't really say why she was crying.Since the founding of the Great Wei, he led the soldiers and civilians of the Wei State to fight countless vicious battles, and witnessed countless soldiers and soldiers and civilians falling in front of Ran Min. Ran Min couldn't let go of that kind of heroism and grief.

At this moment, the normal battle in Ju County was performed on the stage. The Jin army attacked Ju County, and the defenders of Ju County retreated steadily, and the situation was in danger.At this moment, the female soldiers of the Luan Guard Army appeared, and under the leadership of Wang Zhilei, they attacked several times the Jin army.

In the face of several times the enemy, in the face of well-equipped and well-trained soldiers of the Jin army launched an attack.

The arrows rained down, and the blood of the Luan Guard female soldiers sprayed the entire stage. This scene was very shocking.The blood is natural true blood, of course not human blood, but chicken blood.The actors wore blood sacs made from sheep bladders.In later generations of movies, this is almost pediatrics, but in this era, it is an epoch-making innovation.

Very gory, very visually stunning.

"Fight to the death!" There were bursts of hysterical shouts, one by one brave and brave figures, the general Wang Zhilei of the Luanwei female soldiers fell, but they did not stop attacking, but continued to attack the enemy several times. A suicide attack like a moth to a flame.

Finally, the Luanwei female soldiers defeated the Jin army with a death rate of more than [-]%.

However, Ran Min did not expect that when the performance was about to end, there was a commotion on the stage. A boy who was only in his teens rushed onto the stage like crazy.Without a weapon in his hand, he yelled at the Jin soldiers: "I will fight with you!"

Perhaps it was the boy's bloodiness that infected everyone. More and more people rushed to the stage and rushed to the soldiers of the Jin army.

In the end, Ran Min had to use the imperial guards to stop the commotion among the common people.

This stage play called "Heroine Heroes" has a very obvious effect, and the preparation of Luan Weijun is full in just one day.

Fengledu in Yecheng is almost equivalent to Baqiao in Chang'an. On this day, Crown Prince Ran Zhi brought hundreds of civil and military officials and tens of thousands of civilians to wait for the return of Jiaodong Army and Pingbei Army.

According to the plan formulated by the Ministry of Rites, the army of the Pingbei Army returned home in honor, and the first stop was the ferry in Fengle Town. Prince Ran Zhi completed the first step of welcoming ceremony on behalf of Ran Min.As an honorary reward, the crown prince and all the officials will lead the horse for ten miles for the general who wins and returns to court.In the afternoon, the returned army will go to Dongming Gate of Yecheng to enter Yecheng, and then the army will parade through the streets.After all, this time is a great victory for destroying Yan, and the ceremony of offering captives to the Taimiao still needs to be completed.

Finally, the Pingbei Army appeared in people's sight.The [-] remnants of the Tunqi Battalion of the Pingbei Army, which suffered the most losses, were the vanguard of most of the troops. Ran Ming rode his horse at the forefront of the team, followed by Wang Meng, and then Shi Ning, the captain of the Tunqi School.Although Wei Guo won a big victory this time, they were defeated for the cavalry battalion. Not only did more than half of them die, but a large number of horses, weapons and armor were lost.Everyone of the two thousand heavy cavalry looked serious, and the criss-crossing marks on the armor looked so shocking.There are still many soldiers with bandages that have not been removed.No one shouted slogans, and there was no scrambling for the first place. The entire cavalry team appeared very calm.

This calm aura makes people feel obvious depression, and it also makes people feel that they are like volcanoes, which may erupt at any time.

Ran Zhi led all the civil and military officials of the Wei state to come forward. According to the etiquette system for welcoming the army, he first read a tribute written by Cui Ye, the son of Cui Yue, the great Confucian of the Wei state.Cui Yue is the great-grandson of Cao Wei Sikong Cui Lin, the nephew of Liu Kun, and the cousin of Liu Qun, Lu Chen and Wen Qiao.Cui Ye is Liu Qun's cousin.

As a child of a scholarly family, Cui Ye's diction is very gorgeous, Ran Ming listened to it for a long time, but he didn't understand what it meant.Cui Qian's praise was finally finished when Ran Ming was about to run out of patience. Ran Zhi stepped forward and gave Ran Ming a warm hug. Naturally, Ran Ming couldn't just sit on the horse carelessly. Ran Ming jumped off the horse, and Ran Zhi hurriedly grabbed him. Hold Ran Ming's hand.Smiling and clapping his hands, he said, "Congratulations to the second brother, the second brother really deserves to be the Great General King of our Great Wei."
