The imperial brother kneels and begs me to marry my daughter-in-law

"Hey, have you heard? Now women can also join the army and return their official positions."

"I heard that my mother-in-law has to go. Isn't that nonsense? A woman goes to the battlefield, and it seems that I, Zhou Guo, have too many men."

"You can't do it? If you want to do it, how did Zhou Guo get to where he is today?" A woman in a bunt in the crowd heard two men whispering about Zhou Guo's new decree, and interrupted them annoyed. .

"Hey, bad luck, let's go!" The two men saw that the woman was not easy to provoke, and left muttering.

The woman stood in front of the recruitment order and looked at it for a long time before deciding to enlist in the army.

At the gate of the Princess Mansion, Xiao Shu'an and Chen Yunjian presided over the recruiting work.A few days ago, I don't know what method Lin Xiu used to persuade His Majesty to agree to recruit female soldiers, and the treatment is equal to that of male soldiers.

The emperor's promise didn't matter, and the court exploded.It is an insult to a man for a woman to go to the battlefield. Unless all the men are dead, how can it be women's turn to go to the battlefield?

"Absurd! If a woman is a soldier, if she is captured, how should she deal with herself? The national teacher is clearly sending women to hell!"

"Isn't that the way men are treated when they join the army? How to deal with themselves is a question they have to consider. If they can't accept it, they don't have to join the army. Female soldiers are recruited freely, and there is no such thing as military service. What's more, don't men It will be better if the captives end up? They are all sons and daughters of Zhou, and there are not enough soldiers, so what's wrong with accepting female soldiers?" Lin Xiu replied.

"Women go to the battlefield to add chaos!"

"Yes, what can a woman do on the battlefield?"

Lin Xiu sneered: "Creating trouble? Master Changshi, I have heard a lot about your wife beating you. If your wife and you both join the army, I'm really curious who is making trouble."

"You! Hmph!" Chang Shi said angrily.

"Let's not talk about whether women can do anything, but just say that women can be appointed officials and nobles for their meritorious deeds? Why should they? The court has always been a place for men, when will it be women's turn to step in!"

Lin Xiu's expression was very puzzled: "Why? Why are they better than men who are not officials?"

"Joke! How can women be better than men! If women are better, why haven't we seen women make achievements, but are all men instead?"

"Because you didn't give them a chance?" Lin Xiu said frankly, "I've never heard of common people making great achievements before. Isn't that why you don't give them opportunities? Opportunities will always be taken by you rich and powerful. Common people have no chance. Women have no chance, of course you think you are the best, why are you afraid now? Are you guilty? Do you think you are inferior to women?"

"When did I say that!" Wu Fengchang blushed angrily.

"Then what are you objecting to?" Lin Xiu said aggressively, "I don't favor women, I only talk about conferring official positions. Regardless of whether they are rich or common, men or women, they will be rewarded according to their merits, and they will be appointed according to their abilities. Since you feel that women can't accomplish anything , why are you so nervous, it seems that you have tacitly agreed that women will make great achievements, it seems that you have more confidence in women's abilities than I do."

"Sophistry! The national teacher is also a man, and I don't know why he keeps speaking for women! Could it be that he looks too like a woman, and he really has a woman's heart!"

"Hey!" Lin Xiu sneered and said proudly: "I speak for women because I trust women's abilities. I believe that women can make achievements because I think I am inferior to women. Although I can plan and plan the country, I have to talk about I am really not as good as my wife when I go to battle to kill the enemy. I dare to ask you, how many times is it my wife who came to fight with you, who can win? I don’t feel embarrassed about civil servants, generals, ask yourself, can you do it?”

The wife of the national teacher, isn't she talking about Princess Yong'an?Princess Yong'an has been martial arts since she was a child, and she is very good at martial arts. It is said that even the general Chen Yunjian can't beat him, and the other generals on the list are even more afraid to say anything.

"Okay." Xiao Jingong said: "I also know the opinions of the ministers. But in recent years, Zhou Guo has indeed been short of soldiers. Now that the military has undergone major reforms, it is good to recruit some female soldiers. I don't think there is anything to be ashamed of. Things, on the contrary, I am a little proud of! In my country of Zhou, the folk customs are tough, and the women have always been tough and pungent! They may not lose to men, and the countries are inferior to Zhou. A large part of the reason is that they feel that the women of Zhou are not gentle enough, and they are not the so-called ladies. Is my Zhou country woman really bad? Since they look down on them, let them experience the demeanor of my Zhou country woman.

Furthermore, the prince of Zhao Guo came to Zhou privately, which is really a meticulous work!I want to keep him as a proton in Zhou.Prince Zhao is Zhao Cong's favorite prince. According to common sense, he will not act rashly.But there must always be two plans, if he intends to sacrifice the crown prince to attack the state of Zhou, with the current population of the state of Zhou, it is not enough for all men to join the army.Recruiting female soldiers can relieve some pressure.Besides, whether female soldiers are weaker than male soldiers can only be known through competition. "

His Majesty expressed his position, and the officials did not dare to say more.Although there are many dissatisfaction with women joining the army, most people don't take it seriously, they just think it is absurd.In their hearts, women cannot shake their interests.

"Starting tomorrow, Princess Yong'an will be appointed as the female general to lead the women's army. As for the details of recruiting and training, General Chen, I hope you can help Yong'an a lot. Let her train the women's army to be as good as your soldiers. !"

"I obey the order!" Chen Yunjian took the order.

--

"Next!" Rufeng shouted loudly after registering the information of the last female soldier who was recruited into the army.

Xie Chen stepped forward.Rufeng looked up and saw that he was wearing a bunt suit, tall and slender, with steady steps, he seemed to be a trainer.

"Name?"

He said coldly, "Xie Chen."

"age."

"23."

"Are you literate?"

"?" Xie Chen didn't understand what kind of question this was.

"I asked you, do you know how to read? Can you understand military orders and newspapers?" Rufeng felt that this person didn't seem very smart.

"Literacy."

Rufeng lowered his head and took notes carefully, then asked: "Can you know martial arts?"

"Well, I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child." Xie Chen answered very happily this time.

"Okay, note it down, next one!"

"How's it going, what's the result today?" Lin Xiu stepped down and rushed to the princess mansion.

"It's not ideal. So far, less than 500 people have been expropriated." Xiao Shu'an looked at the registration roster and said.

Lin Xiu smiled and said: "It's pretty good, much better than I expected. I thought no one would come to respond. It seems that Zhou Guomin's style is indeed more aggressive. Not all men in the family mean what they say, but women also have words. It’s heavy. If it’s according to those men’s wishes, I don’t think they would release a woman to serve in the army.”

"Is that so?" Xiao Shu'an had a sudden thought, "Then is it up to the husband or the wife in our family?"

Lin Xiu thought about it, and said cunningly: "Our girl has the final say!"

"Pfft!" Chen Yunjian overheard the young couple's conversation, and couldn't help laughing, "Sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop."

"Huh." Lin Xiu pretended to be angry: "How is the reform of General Chen's arms going? How effective is it?"

"It's going well." Chen Yunjian said seriously: "The effect is particularly good. Since the high-quality soldiers and ordinary soldiers are trained separately, the abilities of both sides have been enhanced a lot, especially the high-quality soldiers. Didn't know there were so many talented people in my army."

"In that case, let's ask the general about something." Lin Xiu remembered what Lin Zhong had said to him a few days ago.

"Master, please tell me."

"My righteous brother, Lin Zhong, he wants to join the army. Do you think it's okay?"

"Yes, yes, but..." Chen Yunjian hesitated.

"What? He doesn't have enough qualifications?"

"That's not true. It's just that he can only start as an ordinary soldier, and now the new law is being implemented. In terms of merit and promotion, he can't have an official position as soon as he comes."

"Ham! That's for sure. How could I slap myself in the face. I didn't want to help Ah Zhong through the back door, but I just asked the general if he would like to be recruited. Ah Zhong should start as an ordinary soldier, with his ability. , you will have a military rank soon, I’m not bragging, General Chen, your position is dangerous.”

The more they interacted, the more Chen Yunjian felt that Lin Xiu was really an interesting person. "Really? Then I'll wait and see!"

"Hmph, I'll go back and tell Ah Zhong right now, be careful about your position, don't let Ah Zhong snatch it away."

"Okay." Chen Yunjian said heartily.

As it was getting late, Lin Xiu and Xiao Shu'an returned to the mansion together with Rufeng.Lin Zhong has already taken Zhao Duan and Zhao Fen to a dungeon designated by Xiao Shu'an.As for the royal family, there are always one or two unknown secret rooms and dungeons, and Lin Xiu didn't bother, anyway, as long as people don't get killed, she doesn't care.She is not a virgin.

At dinner, the four sat down to eat together again.Only this time, for separation.Rufeng and Ah Zhong are about to enlist in the army, so they will not be able to live in the son-in-law's mansion all the time, but will live in the barracks and start training every day.

When the female soldiers were first established, Xiao Shuan mainly trained female soldiers to be archers, drawing bows or shooting crossbows.After all, war in the era of cold weapons is close to hand combat, and when the strength is not equal, it is indeed death to go up.But not all female soldiers are inferior to male soldiers.Female soldiers with outstanding conditions will be trained as infantry and will fight in close combat like men.

In addition, a group of medical soldiers must be trained.This can greatly reduce the casualty rate of the war.In addition to training, cultural lessons must be given to the soldiers to eliminate illiteracy.After all, if you are illiterate, it is inconvenient to act, and you can't even read military intelligence and military newspapers.With such intense training content, running on both sides of Rufeng will be very tiring.Xiao Shu'an simply let her live in the barracks, and Rufeng himself liked it there.

"Tomorrow you will go out and fight on your own! I wish you all the best!" Lin Xiu was the first to raise the wine.

Everyone drank it down.Lin Zhong felt a little guilty: "Xiu'er, I promised to protect you all the time, but I'm leaving you."

"Stop!" Lin Xiu stretched out her hand to stop: "Don't talk nonsense! It's as if you and I are parting from each other. You are just going to serve as soldiers, will you come back? From now on, the place where the princess and I are will be your natal family!"

"Otherwise, I still won't go. If something happens to you and I'm not around, I'll regret it to death." Lin Zhong began to struggle again.

Lin Xiu helped her forehead helplessly: "Don't! I can't afford such a big sacrifice from you! Everyone has their own life and their own pursuit. You and Rufeng have found the career you want to fight for. In fact, I especially I'm happy, really. Don't worry about me, His Majesty has sent me a new expert to protect me, maybe even better than you. And the princess is always by my side, I will be fine."

"That's right, the two of you don't need to have a psychological burden. Rufeng is the same. You and I grew up together. We are named master and servant, but we are like sisters. Although I am not used to it for a while without you, you have found a new one." I am happy for you if you want to do something more valuable."

"Princess, thank you." Rufeng didn't say much, stood up and respected the princess, Lin Zhong also said together: "I also thank the princess, from now on, Xiu'er will take care of the princess!"

"I wish you both can become great generals!" Xiao Shu'an said with a smile.

The three toasted and drank heavily, while Lin Xiu watched silently from the side.Heart said: All right, the three of them are martial arts masters, a little hot chicken like me, just watch silently...

--

After Zi Rufeng and Ah Zhong left the mansion, Lin Xiu felt that she and the princess had become lonely old people.The sons and daughters have all gone out to work hard in their careers, and there are only two people left in the mansion, which is really quite deserted.

Zhao Guo sent someone to visit his prince, and Xiao Jingong arranged for them to meet.The envoy saw that it was indeed his prince, Zhao Duan didn't know whether it was out of self-esteem or something else, but he didn't dare to say that he was yanked.The messenger went back to report the fact that Zhao Duan was a hostage, and Zhao Cong fainted on the spot. It is not surprising that an elderly person has a high blood pressure and cerebral hemorrhage.

There is a mess in Zhao Guochao hall, and there are people who want to beat Zhou.There are those who want to protect Zhao Duan.Zhao Cong suddenly aged a lot, and became silent in court.He just sent people to negotiate with Zhou Guo over and over again. Zhou Guo asked for a city, but the ministers were unwilling to give it.It has been deadlocked, and so far there has been no result.

In a blink of an eye, winter goes to spring.The willow trees in Ganzhou City have sprouted new shoots, and the people have started spring plowing.Unlike previous years, this year, due to the implementation of the new law, the enthusiasm of the people for farming is unprecedentedly high, and they are scrambling to open up wasteland and farm land.Although they were so tired that their backs ached, everyone's faces were beaming with joy.

Lin Xiu went to court every day, and she was not as busy as before.The first two sets of reforms have not had much effect yet, and the results will not be seen until after the autumn harvest this year, so it is inconvenient to implement the latter reforms too quickly.At present, it mainly stays in the two matters of farming and strengthening the army.

Xiao Shu'an was very busy, and there were not many female soldiers who were recruited at the beginning.Later, I saw female soldiers as well as medical soldiers, orderly soldiers, and also learned to read and write.Many people came to apply.Twenty thousand female soldiers have been conscripted across the country.Xiao Shu'an was busy training female soldiers every day, very busy.

With his excellent performance in the school examination, Rufeng successfully became the commander of the commander, and he also has 1000 officers under his command.There are 20 commanders in total, and the superior is Xiao Shuan, a female general. If there are more people in the future, some low-level generals will be appointed, but it is not necessary now.

Lin Zhong, on the other hand, is not as good as Rufeng, who is still only a centurion.He suffers from not having the opportunity to express himself, to make contributions, and to be promoted.Male soldiers are not like female soldiers. When the army was first established, all official positions were elected.All the official positions of the male soldiers are saturated. Lin Zhong is here, and it is difficult to replace the previous ones without great military achievements.

--

Finally, Xiao Shu'an returned home earlier today.Lin Xiu, who was already bored, quickly suggested: "Princess, you came back at noon today, do you want to go out for a walk?"

"Where do you want to go?" Xiao Shu'an is not tired today, if Lin Xiu wants to go, she can indeed accompany her.

"I heard that spring plowing has already started. I haven't seen what it's like. Why don't we go to the villages on the outskirts of the city to see how the people's fields are doing? I've been in Ganzhou for so long, and I haven't been to the outskirts of the city yet. "Lin Xiu said it so pitifully, she seems to be living a boring life at two o'clock and one line all day long.

Xiao Shu'an also remembered that she really didn't take Lin Xiu for a stroll. She still remembered that she coaxed Lin Xiu to come to Zhou Guo, but she agreed to take him to eat delicious food, to see something nice.I actually broke my promise, and it took so long.

"Well, it just so happens that there is an apricot grove on the outskirts of the city. The flowers should be in full bloom this season. It's very beautiful. I'll take you to see it. Standing on the mountain and looking down, it's all the fields of the common people. I can just see what you want watch."

"Okay, let's put it that way! I'll let Xiao Jiu prepare it!" Since Lin Zhong left, Lin Xiu has been very dependent on Xiao Jiu.She only asked the bodyguard sent by His Majesty to follow secretly, and did not need to do anything else.She is used to ordering Xiao Jiu for anything.

Bringing some snacks and meals, the princess and son-in-law left the mansion without anyone else.This is to go shopping in microservices in the outskirts of the city, it's too ostentatious.What's rare is that Xiao Shu'an even dressed up as a man today.Just like the first time she went to Guanshan, she was wearing the same outfit that Linxiu gave her in Linglong Valley.

"Your appearance makes me feel that what we are going to is Linglong Valley." Lin Xiu raised the curtain and said to Xiao Shu who was driving.

"Not good-looking?" Xiao Shuan asked with a smile.

"It looks better than when I dress up as a man!" Lin Xiu simply hung the curtain on one side, and just sat in front of the carriage to accompany Xiao Shuan.Bathed in the spring breeze along the way, seeing all kinds of trees sprouting green buds everywhere, I feel an indescribable lightness.I haven't felt this way for a long time.

After wandering for an hour, I finally arrived at the apricot blossom forest Xiao Shuan mentioned.

"It's so beautiful!" Lin Xiu couldn't wait to get out of the car, and began to cheer.

The scenery in front of me is so beautiful!It's not a small apricot forest like in the south, but a very open forest with apricot trees for miles around, and all the apricot trees are full of apricot blossoms.The spring breeze blows, and a few petals are fluttering, spinning, dancing, and finally falling to the ground.

"This is the story of Peach Blossom Spring!" Lin Xiu immediately thought of the words written by Tao Yuanming, "Suddenly encountered a peach blossom forest, hundreds of steps across the bank, no miscellaneous trees, fresh grass, and colorful fallen flowers..."

"Come down." Xiao Shu'an tied the horse to a thick apricot tree, and took Lin Xiu out of the car.

Lin Xiu jumped out of the carriage with Xiao Shu'an's hand, ran quickly to the edge of the cliff, and looked down the mountain.Whoa! 'The land is flat and open, and the houses are like houses. There are fertile fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry and bamboo.The traffic in the fields, chickens and dogs hear each other, among them, the kind of traffic...'

Lin Xiu felt that she was in Tao Yuanming's Tale of Peach Blossoms at this moment, but her place should be Tale of Xinghuayuan!She saw men and women coming and going down the mountain, busy in the fields, and the expressions on people's faces were full of hope and enthusiasm.

Children in twos and threes are playing and playing by the fields.From time to time, you can hear the crying of children, which should be caused by fighting and crying.I could hear the adult's scolding again, and after a while, the crying stopped, and the adult went to work in the field again.

It was a simple life in the field, but for some reason Lin Xiu had the urge to cry.

"The new law came into force, and the people's enthusiasm for farming is very high this year. They are more energetic in their work, and they are not always sad like before. Once people have hope, they will be motivated to do anything. They look forward to a good harvest this year. After paying the country's taxes, the family can still be fed." At some point, Xiao Shu'an stood behind Lin Xiu and explained.

Lin Xiu's previous cognition of her reform was only on paper and imagination.She knew what people's psychology would look like after the reform, but that all came from her understanding of human nature and what she learned from books.This is the first time she has seen such a real result.

It turned out that a few words of her can really change so much.This kind of real hope and welfare to the people is really a sense of accomplishment.Lin Xiu felt that her heart was full.Everything is thriving, which is great.

Not long after, the originally clear sky became cloudy and began to drizzle.Ganzhou is a relatively dry city, and there is not much rainfall throughout the year. It is not uncommon for such a sudden change of rain.

"It's raining!"

"Spring rain is coming!"

"This year must be a bumper harvest year! It's raining in the sky, we don't have to worry about the land being dry!" The people in the fields sighed excitedly when they saw that the sky began to rain.

For Ganzhou people, rain is a good thing and auspicious.

Seeing that the rain was getting bigger and bigger, everyone in the field went home one after another.

"Find a place to hide from the rain, it's going to rain heavily." Lin Xiu was still standing there stupidly, Xiao Shu'an advised her to go together to shelter from the rain.

Lin Xiu raised her head and looked at the sky, her face was immediately drenched by the rain, she smiled instead of anger, and asked Xiao Shu'an loudly: "Where are you going to hide from the rain?"

"Follow me!" Xiao Shu'an smiled and led Lin Xiu all the way in, until she saw a cave, she led Lin Xiu into it.

The cave is not big, only five or six square meters, but it is clean and dry.Unlike the caves in the south, it is wet and full of weeds.

The clothes of the two of them were already a little wet, but fortunately, they took shelter from the rain in time, and their inner clothes were not soaked.

"I didn't expect Ganzhou to have such weather." Lin Xiu patted the raindrops on her body, "Do you think this is a good omen? Maybe this year is a bumper harvest year as the common people said."

"Although there is little rain in Ganzhou, there is still spring rain. This is a normal phenomenon." Xiao Shu'an went to the cave and took out a pile of dry firewood, and lit a fire with a torch.

"You are so familiar with this place, have you been here before?" Lin Xiu found that Xiao Shuan seemed to be very familiar with this place, not only knew that there was a cave here, but also that there was dry firewood here.

"Well, I was trapped here by Chunyu before. This dry firewood is what I left last time. I didn't expect it to still be there." Xiao Shuan got up and untied Lin Xiu's coat: "Take off the coat and I'll dry it for you. Put it on The clothes inside are also soaked, and it will be cold."

Lin Xiu let Xiao Shuan take off her robe obediently.Seeing that Xiao Shu'an only took off his own, "Don't you take it off? You'll get wet too?"

Xiao Shu'an replied lightly: "My body is not as weak as yours, and I won't suffer from wind and cold."

Lin Xiu frowned, dissatisfied. "No, you have to take it off too, it's so uncomfortable to wear wet. I'm not shy, why are you shy. It's not just taking off your clothes, it's just a robe." Speaking of this, thinking of the incident of being drunk by Xiao Shu'an in winter, he couldn't help but become angry from embarrassment .He directly took off Xiao Shuan's robe.

Xiao Shuan let her solve it for a long time, but she solved it into a deadlock.

"I'll do it myself." Xiao Shuan said helplessly.

"Okay." Lin Xiu let go of her hand angrily, and stood there staring at Xiao Shu'an.It wasn't until Xiao Shu'an really took off his outer robe that he squatted beside the fire.
