Chapter 48: Female Soldiers and Orphans (Second Update, Ask for Recommendations)
"What!"
The screams in the study made the palace maids outside the door all look at each other, and they didn't need to look at them to know that it must be the princess and the prince who were fighting, and it seemed that these days, they were always prone to some disputes.
"Group wedding? Let them marry those men! What is the rationale for this? ”
staring at the prince Li Jingyun asked loudly. In the past month, she has long regarded the tens of thousands of female soldiers in the battalion as her own sisters, and even after seeing the training method of the prince that day, she also specially asked for a training record from the prince, and studied and taught the female soldiers to "pull out the military posture".
"That, that can be like this, they are already lonely, how can they, how can they decide their life's events at will......"
"Oh, Jingyun, think about it, since they are lonely, let them marry now, it can be regarded as a home, after all, these women can't always gather in the camp to be soldiers, after all, I am a clan, and I can't lead the army......"
Looking at Li Jingyun, who looked like her beloved thing had been snatched away, Zhu Guoqiang reassured.
"Besides, I will also ask for their opinions, and if they don't want to, they don't have to participate, and they will never force it......"
Li Jingyun, who knew that what the prince said was the truth, sighed in her heart and said.
"I'm sure she, they're sure there are a lot of people who don't want to. When the time comes, you can't force them! ”
"That's for sure, we're that kind of person, besides, they are all hard-working people who have lost their families, and they will definitely cherish each other, so don't worry!"
I hope so!
In fact, the reason why Zhu Guoqiang did this was naturally his own selfishness.
He is the prince of the vassal king, under the strict "feudal ban", at least when Chongzhen is still the emperor, it is impossible for him to maintain the army composed of tens of thousands of Ding Zhuang, and even as soon as the Qing army is defeated and retreats, Ding Zhuang's army will be dismissed, otherwise the court will definitely hold him responsible. So, he needs to think about how to sustain the group.
Benefit!
Interests are the best option for maintaining a group.
Therefore, almost from the day Du Du retired from the army, Zhu Guoqiang has been thinking about this problem, and all the soldiers of the "legion" have been granted land, field houses, of course, this is also because of the massacre of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so that a large area of land around Jinan has been vacated, and through this grant, a privileged class of interests can be immediately established - although there are some hidden dangers in this measure, but one thing is certain is that in the context of practical interests, five years later, when Li Zicheng entered Beijing and the Qing army entered the customs, these tens of thousands of Ding Zhuang, who had granted land, will be his strongest supporter, and it is a must for him to ensure his own safety.
Even, the land given to them is bound to be used as an example, with the power of example to attract the latecomers, so that the latecomers believe that if they follow the prince, they will definitely not suffer losses, and they will have land and land...... Now there are still girls, where to find such a good thing in the world?
"Actually, this is also for their good, you know, the women's barracks will be disbanded after all, after all, I am the prince of the vassal king, and I can't be in charge of the army......"
"Then, will all my female soldiers be disbanded?"
For Li Jingyun, who has not yet finished her addiction to female generals, even if she understands the truth, she will inevitably be a little reluctant.
"You promised me ......"
realized that the existence of the women's barracks would bring a lot of trouble to Zhu Guoqiang, and in the end, Li Jingyun still did not continue.
Seeing that her mood seemed to be a little lost, Zhu Guoqiang diverted the topic and said.
"Jingyun, what are you doing here?"
"Something?"
Stunned, Jing Yun shook her head and said.
"I don't need it anymore,"
Only then did Zhu Guoqiang notice that she was holding a few pieces of paper in her hand, so he took it and looked at it, and the paper was actually a costume drawn with a pen.
"What is this?"
Staring at the somewhat familiar uniform on the paper, Zhu Guoqiang wondered.
"Military uniforms, I originally saw that the military uniforms you made for those riflemen were very good-looking, so I wanted to customize a few sets of military uniforms for each of the female soldiers, and it seemed that the original dress was not suitable for wearing in the army, so I thought...... Not anymore. ”
"Why not!"
Put away the paper pattern, Zhu Guoqiang comforted.
"At that time, there will definitely be many people among those female soldiers who are unwilling, and there are still so many war orphans in Jinan, so I thought maybe I could build a camp to care for orphans and let those female soldiers take care of them, and leave this matter to you, how about it?"
If you don't want a person to be cranky, the best thing to do is to keep him busy.
"Me?"
With her eyes wide open, Li Jingyun wondered.
"In charge of the orphanage? Can I do it? ”
"Not an ordinary orphanage!"
Shaking his head, Zhu Guoqiang said.
"This orphanage is not so much an orphanage as a junior military academy."
"Junior Military Academy?"
Li Jingyun looked at the prince in puzzlement.
"Yes, those orphans have nowhere to go, so I thought about sending them all to school, the orphans who enter the school will receive formal military education and training in it, in addition to learning the basic knowledge of general education, more to learn military knowledge and master military skills, eleven or twelve-year-old children are very plastic, especially boys have a strong interest in being a soldier and practicing martial arts since they were young, coupled with their young age, their ability to accept quickly, so it is easy to accept basic military knowledge......"
This is a tradition that Zhu Guoqiang draws on from another world, Russia, where the tradition of running a cadet military academy has a long history. The first cadet military school was founded in 1730 as the Junior Military Academy. The aim is to give boys and war orphans who are fond of guns and have military potential to receive a formal military education from an early age. During World War II, in order to raise war orphans, the Russian government revived the tradition of running military schools in Russia, which lasted for 7 years, and later the junior military schools became the cradle of training military reserve talents. Explaining the significance of establishing the "Junior Military Academy", Zhu Guoqiang looked at Li Jingyun and said in a rather serious tone.
"Jing Yun, you know, now the world is in chaos, there are rogues everywhere, and there are captives who enter the world from time to time, and these orphans are the capital of you and me to survive in the troubled times, after all, there are a few years to receive military education, and after a few years, they are not just orphans, but officers!"
Officer!
This is also the method that Zhu Mingzhong thought of for a long time, maybe he can't maintain an army in the next five years, but he can use "raising orphans" to train an officer corps in five years!
Li Jingyun, who was born in a hereditary command envoy, didn't know the importance of officers, and said almost immediately with some unconfidence.
"I, can I do it?"
"If you don't try, how can you do it, besides, ......"
Looking at Li Jingyun with a smile, Zhu Guoqiang said with a smile.
"Don't you still have me, when the time comes, we'll do this together, besides, you and the female soldiers to help, isn't it ......"
