"Dashuai!" Zhou Tai rushed directly into Ren Chao's study with some anxiety.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Ren Chao asked casually.

"The scouts reported that since this morning, the Russian army has begun to move on a large scale and has frequent activities, and according to our analysis, Lao Maozi is likely to launch a large-scale attack." Zhou Tai hurriedly replied.

"Massive attack?" Ren Chao raised his eyebrows, and suddenly became interested, "It seems that these old hairy people can't stand it anymore, and they are anxious to fight us, that's just right!" We have been waiting for this day for a long time, informing all troops to prepare for battle, and as long as Lao Maozi dares to attack, he will fight me to the death. ”

"Yes!" Zhou Tai hurriedly responded, then rolled his eyes, approached Ren Chao, and said with a smile, "Dashuai, I heard that a new batch of new weapons has arrived recently, look~!" ”

"You're pretty well-informed!" Ren Chao shook his head with a smile and said, "You can rest assured!" I'd like to take this opportunity to try out these new weapons! ”

"Thank you, Sir." Zhou Tai was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly thanked him.

"What's wrong? Anything else? Ren Chao frowned slightly and asked, for a period of time, Ren Chao has been busy all day long, the front line is fighting, and all kinds of things in the rear also need to be asked by Ren Chao, in short, there are endless things every day. So in general, Ren Chao really doesn't bother to ask, and if he can let go, let go and let the people below deal with it, he really doesn't have that energy.

"That's right, those snipers said that these old hairy men have learned well, and it is becoming more and more difficult to snipe, and they are now clamoring to go deep into the enemy's rear." Zhou Tai hurriedly said.

"What do you think?" Ren Chao did not answer, but asked rhetorically.

"Well~! After all, these people have been carefully selected by us, and they have been professionally trained, and each one of them is very valuable, and this goes deep into the rear of the enemy, in case the enemy finds out. That's the end of it. So~! Zhou Tai replied honestly.

"So you don't agree?" Ren Chao asked with a smile.

Zhou Tai nodded slightly, and Ren Chao smiled slightly, "What you said also makes some sense." But one thing you must also understand is that only in actual combat can you train an elite soldier, and the more dangerous and harsh the environment, the more elite soldiers can be created. ”

Zhou Tai listened to Ren Chao's words, first nodded, and then couldn't help frowning, "You mean to let them go?" ”

"Yes! Let them go, but not all of them. Those rookies are also sent to death if they go. You can pick out some of the better snipers and let them lurk behind Lao Maozi, they have all been specially trained in school, and now it's time to test them in actual combat. Ren Chao said casually.

"Yes! The lowly knows what to do! Zhou Tai nodded and said.

"If there's nothing to do, you can go down first, I still have a lot of things to deal with here!" Ren Chao said impatiently.

"Retire from your duties!" Zhou Tai hurriedly responded and retreated.

As soon as Zhou Tai left, Ren Chao angrily threw a copy of the article in his hand on the table, which was not a big deal, it was reported to Ren Chao by the Ministry of Civil Affairs. The government's decree prohibiting foot binding has been obstructed by the people, and the common people don't buy it at all, and still bind the feet of the girls in their families. The funny thing is that these people still think that this is good for their children, so that they can let their daughters marry a good family in the future.

Foot binding is a bad custom of women in ancient times, which refers to wrapping a woman's feet tightly with long strips of cloth to make the feet deformed and smaller. Thought it was beautiful. In the era of foot binding, most women began to bind their feet from the age of four or five, and did not untie the bands until the bones were finalized as adults. There are also lifelong stalkers.

There are different opinions about the origin of foot binding since the Ming and Qing dynasties. According to modern scholars, foot binding arose in the Northern Song Dynasty, became popular in the Song Dynasty and gradually evolved into a bad habit that harmed women's physical and mental health.

In the Song Dynasty, foot binding was to wrap the feet "straight" but not arched. The foot binding of the Yuan Dynasty continued to develop in the direction of slenderness. The wind of foot binding in the Ming Dynasty entered a prosperous period, and there was a saying of "three-inch golden lotus", which required the feet to be not only as small as three inches, but also to bow and bend.

By the time of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the Manchus did not accept the Han custom of binding feet. In the third year of Chongde (1638 AD), Emperor Taiji of the Qing Dynasty ordered that women should be forbidden to "tie their hair and tie their feet". In the seventeenth year of Shunzhi, it was stipulated that those who resisted the decree and bound their feet would have eighty rods for their husbands or fathers, and they would flow three thousand miles. In the third year of Kangxi (1664 AD), he applied for the previous order again, but at this time the wind of foot binding was difficult to stop, and in the seventh year of Kangxi (1668 AD), he had to ban it. But there is a Qing generation, and the flag people have never bound their feet.

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom also implemented anti-foot binding, but in the end it was unsuccessful. In the late Qing Dynasty, foot binding was regarded by the intellectuals at that time as one of the symbols of China's social backwardness, and believed that foot binding caused the weakness of Chinese women, and then affected the strength of the entire nation and the country, so they began to implement the anti-foot binding movement.

As early as when Emperor Guangxu launched the reform of the law, he issued relevant regulations to prohibit women from binding their feet, and Kang, Liang and other reformers also established the 'Tianzu Association' in several major cities across the country to vigorously publicize the foot movement. Kang Youwei also wrote an article "Quit Foot Binding", refusing to bind his daughter's feet after she reached the age of foot binding, which was strongly opposed by the people in his hometown, but he still insisted on not binding his daughter's feet. But the effect is not very obvious, Ren Chao launched a coup d'état, after taking charge of the government, further vigorously promoted the Tianzu movement, but it was also widely resisted by all levels of society.

Ren Chao also knew in his heart that it was not easy to completely eliminate this bad habit that had been passed down for hundreds or thousands of years, after all, people had taken root in this concept. But when he learned that the decree prohibiting foot binding was resisted, he couldn't help but be angry. In fact, it is not only this decree that has been resisted, almost all the decrees issued by the new policy have been resisted to a greater or lesser extent, it is obviously a good policy to enrich the country and strengthen the people, but it has not been supported and supported by the people, which is the fundamental reason why Ren Chao is angry.

Ren Chaoqiang suppressed the boredom in his heart, picked up the document again, read it carefully, thought about it for a while, and finally wrote his own instructions at the end of the article, strictly prohibiting government officials from marrying a woman with small feet under the age of twenty-five, putting forward the slogan of 'don't have a woman with small feet as a wife', and once someone was found to have violated it, he would be dismissed immediately. Vigorously create girls' schools, expand the scale of enrollment, and strictly prohibit foot binding for school students. Encourage textile factories, clothing factories and other light industries to vigorously recruit female workers, and encourage government departments to continue to increase efforts to recruit female employees, etc. (To be continued......)
