Through the issuance of bonds, Dai Yan not only tied everyone in Taoqiu to the chariot, but also made the funds in his hands extremely sufficient. Stimulated by this huge amount of money, the city of Taoqiu, which was composed of developed commerce and initial industry, immediately became a powerful weapon of war, and even Dai Yan was terrified by the power that erupted!

In just a few days, nearly 100,000 people in Taoqiu City joined the army! You must know that the entire Taoqiu, including the floating population, is only more than 500,000 people so far, and nearly one-fifth of the population of the entire city has been attracted to participate in this game of life!

And this is still the case that Dai Yan did not count the population of Fengyi. After hearing that his sovereign had declared war on Suiyang and the Qing monarch was on his side, Dai Yan's first fief, Fengyi, immediately began to respond. Knowing that the Taoqiu people could buy war bonds, but they couldn't, the Fengyi people immediately instigated the peasant disciples who managed Fengyi for Dai Yan to go to Taoqiu to protest. Subsequently, Dai Yan also had to issue a small batch of bonds for Fengyi, with this batch of bonds, Fengyi people were happy, and soon began to respond to Dai Yan's joining the army. And such a small city with a population of tens of thousands has mobilized an army of more than 10,000 people!

In fact, if it weren't for Dai Yan's efforts to prevent the production of Taoqiu and Fengyi from being affected, and restricting women from joining the army, the number of troops that Taoqiu could have mobilized would have been even greater! After all, before compulsory education, Dai Yan treated men and women equally. In school, in the daily outdoor training, girls have to participate in military training just like boys!

In Dai Yan's opinion, it is enough to let them go outdoors to walk around more and exercise their bodies. really let women go to the battlefield, Dai Yan is reluctant. In his consciousness, women are weak and need to be protected, except for women like Zhao Xue who are born with a fighting factor in their blood, women are naturally insulated from the battlefield!

However, Dai Yan's kindness was met with strong opposition! The princess of the Zhou room, Ji Hu, who had fought for the right to go to school for the female students in Taoqiu, organized many female students to protest against him this time, which made Dai Yan have a headache!

Today's Taoqiu, because of the war, the entire Yifu people have come in and out, and they have begun to become extremely busy. However, outside the gate of this busy Yi Mansion, there are thousands of female students, under the leadership of Ji Hu, silently sitting outside the gate of Yi Mansion, fighting for their right to go to the battlefield!

When Dai Yan's handling of government affairs was over, Tian Buli came in and said to him: "Lord, Princess Jihu has been leading the students to stay outside for two days, how can you deal with it well." If you continue to treat them indifferently like this, I am afraid that your subordinates will hurt everyone's enthusiasm for joining the army! ”

Dai Yan rolled his eyes when he heard Tian Buli's words. He has been ignoring Ji Hu and these female students, just hoping that they can understand what he means and retreat. I didn't expect their perseverance to be so deep, which made it difficult for Dai Yan to deal with.

Do you really want to form a women's army like Kadazo? Dai Yan pondered silently in his heart. However, he quickly rejected his idea, it is better for women not to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, otherwise it is purely a battlefield of killing, and I am afraid that there will be one more crime!

However, the other party's desire to join the army is so resolute that they can't really be excluded from participating. Thinking of the examples of later generations, Dai Yan suddenly thought of an idea.

"You let Ji Hu in." After thinking for a moment, Dai Yan commanded Tian Buli.

Soon, Ji Hu was brought into the Yi Mansion. As soon as she entered the Yi Mansion and saw Dai Yan, she said to Dai Yan: "Gong Cao, we are also the leaders of Taoqiu, and we have also participated in military training, why don't you let us join the army?" I'm not here alone, there are thousands of sisters waiting for my news. If you don't agree, I don't have the face to see them, and I won't get out of this mansion! ”

Seeing that the other party gave such an ultimatum as soon as he came in, Dai Yan was also a little unbearable. He had to say: "You don't have to do this, since I let you in, it means that I have agreed to your joining the army." But there are a few conditions, I want to make it clear to you, if you don't agree, I will never be allowed to join the army! ”

Hearing Dai Yan's agreement, Ji Hu hurriedly said: "You say, as long as you promise us to join the army, we will agree to any conditions!" ”

Dai Yan then said: "Women are naturally weak, not better than men. That's why I agree with you to join the army, but you won't go to the battlefield to kill the enemy! A woman's strength is to take care of the wounded and to comfort the wounded. So I agreed to create a team of female soldiers, which would only be used for medical care and theatrical performances in the rear. ”

In order not to extinguish the enthusiasm of the other party, Dai Yan still gave these women a way out to join the army, and let them be medical soldiers and literary soldiers, which can be regarded as making the best use of people!

However, as soon as he heard such a condition, Ji Hu immediately lowered his face and said, "How can you treat us like this? As a member of Taoqiu, of course, when we become soldiers, we have to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, what is it like to hide behind? On other terms, we can't agree to such a request! ”

Seeing the other party's actions, Dai Yan sneered and said, "If you can't even bear such conditions, then you better go back." It won't be long before I'll put the whole of Taoqiu under complete martial law, and you'll be sent back to school......"

Seeing Dai Yan behaving like this, Ji Hu hurriedly agreed, and said helplessly: "Okay, I accept your conditions, our female soldiers are only responsible for medical care and theatrical performances, and do not go to the battlefield to kill the enemy." ”

Seeing that the other party had compromised, Dai Yanfang exhaled with relief. Finally solved this group of women's army!

However, Dai Yan didn't notice that Ji Hu, who promised not to go to the battlefield, was not so depressed, and her eyes were even more cunning with a successful trick.

Soon, in the whole world, the second female soldier appeared after the female army of Wu Guogong trained by Sun Wu. Although Dai Yan strictly limited the scale of this female soldier, only approved 1,000 people, and only added them to the logistics team to be responsible for medical care and theatrical performances, this was also the beginning of women's official participation in the army.

The war preparations for the entire Taoqiu were in full swing. And the mobilization of more than 100,000 troops at a time finally gave Dai Yan some confidence in his hands. With such an army, if you tell others about it, it is estimated that people will not believe that this is the power that a city can mobilize!

You must know that in a large agricultural country like Qi, at the same time, the army that can be mobilized is only a few hundred thousand people! Just the initial industrialization of Taoqiu, with the help of such a big weapon as war bonds, can make a city mobilize 100,000 troops, this kind of organizational ability, is really amazing!

Among the more than 100,000 people, except for 20,000 of them are Dai Yan's regular troops trained in Taoqiu all year round, although most of the others have had military training, Dai Yan is very uneasy to let them go directly to the battlefield.

For this reason, Dai Yan had to mobilize many excellent officers and soldiers from the 20,000 regular army and rush them into the recruits to train them. For recruits, those who have received compulsory education in primary and secondary schools will be given priority in promotion. These recruits, who had a rudimentary culture, soon began to become the lowest level of officers among the recruits, and countless captains and sergeants began to appear!

With a sufficient number of soldiers, Dai Yan asked the military factory in Taoqiu to start working overtime to produce weapons. Although Taoqiu's coal and iron mines in Xiangyi are now occupied by the Chu army, Taoqiu's coal and iron sources have not been completely cut off! Because Dai Yan still has a newly opened coal and iron mine in Zhao State, in addition, the iron of Taoqiu, under Dai Yan's intentional accumulation over the years, there is still a large amount of inventory in the entire warehouse, which is enough for Dai Yan to arm an army of 100,000 people!

Under the operation of the War Committee, in addition to large-scale weapons, all the materials that Dai Yan could imagine, such as food and medicinal herbs, he made the merchants frantically import and began to hoard. This increasing number of materials made the large amount of money in Dai Yan's hands melt as quickly as snowflakes. However, when this money was spent, Dai Yan was not distressed, because the more materials Tao Qiu accumulated, the longer the ability to continue the war in the future, and the more stable his heart was.

In this way, Dai Yan hoarded a large number of war materials in Taoqiu, and at the same time trained the army on a large scale to prepare for the upcoming war.

In Suiyang, Hua Rong and Le Cheng also began to do the same thing as Dai Yan. Suiyang and Taoqiu are like two fierce beasts that are beginning to accumulate strength, when they are not absolutely sure of each other, neither side will easily make a move and give each other a flaw!

In the process of accumulating strength on both sides of Suiyang and Taoqiu, the entire Song Kingdom had fallen into the tranquility before the storm. However, outside the Song Kingdom, the diplomatic war between the two sides to gain support has begun and has become extremely fierce!
