Looking at Yan Hong's angry face, Sima Hongyan instantly understood what he was angry about, and immediately explained: "Then what do you want me to do?" Your grandmother forced her to get married, and she wants to arrange me for your eldest brother. I didn't agree, and your grandmother said I was trying to seduce you. In order for your grandmother not to get me wrong, I had to swear at the time! ”

Her "your grandma" on the left and "your grandma" on the right Yan Hong was really awkward to hear. couldn't help but correct: "We are called the Imperial Grandmother, and you can call the Queen Mother." ”

Sima Hongyan immediately changed his words and said, "Queen Mother! It's the Queen Mother! She didn't listen to my opinion either, just because Yan Qi went to beg her, she asked the emperor to allow me to give Yan Qi as a concubine again, how can I agree? If it weren't for the fact that she's your grandmother...... Oh no! It's your imperial grandmother, I've already turned my face! ”

Yan Hong said: "If I hadn't arrived in time today, did you really plan to see me in the future?" ”

Sima Hongyan's face changed slightly, slightly embarrassed. Said: "This? Of course I didn't mean to, but, but ...... Let's ...... It's a good friend...... No...... This ......"

Seeing that she was talking incoherently, Yan Hong stopped: "You don't need to say it, I understand what you mean." Since you're a friend, that's what I should do for you. You don't have to worry about other problems, I, Yan Hong, am not the kind of person who wants to do things. ”

Yan Hong said frankly, Sima Hongyan was down-to-earth, smiled, and said: "Sure enough, how can His Royal Highness the Ninth be comparable to ordinary people!" ”

Yan Hong's face was slightly gentle, and suddenly turned gloomy, and said: "My eldest brother and second emperor brother make me a little embarrassed, I have been asking you for trouble again and again, it seems that I need to remind them!" ”

Sima Hongyan said: "This big prince is indeed a little annoyed by me, don't interfere in this matter, I have my own way to clean him up." ”

Yan Hong turned his head and smiled: "Then he is going to be unlucky!" ”

Sima Hongyan said: "But his affairs are not in a hurry, the most important thing now is to start gathering the female army." There are some specific things that still need to be discussed with you, you can go to the house with me, just discuss with Lingruo and Jinyan. ”

Yan Hong said: "The car has been prepared for a long time, I happen to have free time today, and the emperor of the planning book is also approved, and it is time to take practical action!" ”

The things in the world are not done, and they are not used to do them. It doesn't matter if it's big or small.

A few days later, huge notices were posted in all the cities, counties, and villages of Yanling, and the text was simple: recruit women to join the army. On the contrary, there was not a single notice in the capital.

This was Sima Hongyan's idea, because she felt that most of the people in the capital were eunuchs, and they were used to being pampered, and they would never come to suffer this hardship, and if they wanted to come, they would have come a long time ago.

Everyone in the capital knows about the women's army, and it is the same whether the notice is posted or not. On the contrary, it is different outside the capital, and the farther away from the capital, the more important it is to ensure that the notice must be distributed. Because there are many poor people there, there are many capable people, and there will be many people who are willing to come!

Yan Hong helped arrange soldiers at the four gates of the capital, placed women who came to sign up for the army, and registered them in a unified manner. Sima Hongyan handed over this matter to Ban Lingruo to supervise and be responsible.

Sima Hongyan asked Yan Hong to send people to set up a military tent in an open space in the east of the city, and place all the people who signed up every day here.

At the same time, the scattered residents in the eastern part of the city were also resettled, and a large number of craftsmen were sent from the capital to demolish the old houses and enclose a large area for women's barracks.

As the saying goes, there are people in the DPRK and China who are easy to do. With Yan Hong's assistance, the dignitaries sent people and asked for money. The women's barracks grew in size in just a few days, and everything was built to the standards of a regular barracks.

At this time, the eastern part of the capital is no longer as desolate as before, and under the impetus of the construction of the women's army, a large piece of land has been enclosed to become a military camp, and there are also several military tents standing in it, and the scene is completely new.

Looking at the continuous improvement of the camp every day, there is not a single person who comes to sign up. Ban Lingruo couldn't help but take care of himself and found Sima Hongyan to understand the situation.

Sima Hongyan said: "The women's army is a breakthrough that violates the concept of life in the hearts of normal women. Always give them time to think about it. The bigger we move here, the more confidence we give them. The first person who can come is the rarest, but as long as there is the first person, there will be a second person, and then it will not be the same as it is now. ”

Seeing that Sima Hongyan was so confident, Ban Lingruo no longer worried, and concentrated on arranging all the matters of the women's army.

During this period, Yan Hong taught Sima Hongyan and several people the establishment and management methods of the Yanling army, as well as the content of Yanling military discipline. Compared with literature, the management of the army is simple and practical, and Sima Hongyan and several people can grasp it quickly.

After a few more days, several women from the north came to the capital, and when they arrived at the city gate, the guards thought they were fleeing refugees, and almost did not let them enter the city. Later, one of the women had the audacity to say that she was here to join the army, and then she was led to Ban Lingruo.

Looking at several women in ragged clothes with extremely twisted expressions, Ban Lingruo understood that she was forced by poverty to have no way out, so she chose to join the army. Anyway, someone finally came, and Ban Lingruo took them to the half-built camp and arranged for them.

Ban Lingruo told Sima Hongyan about this, and Sima Hongyan said: "As expected, the first person to come must have been forced by life to come to us. ”

Ban Lingruo said: "Sister, you have already guessed? ”

Sima Hongyan said helplessly: "If it weren't for being forced by life, which woman would want to join the army?" ”

Ban Lingruo said: "But there are five people here this time, and three of them are beyond the age limit for us to recruit female soldiers. How is this arranged? ”

Sima Hongyan said: "Are these five people related?" ”

Ban Lingruo said: "One girl was brought by her mother and aunt, and the other was brought by her mother. ”

Sima Hongyan thought about it for a moment and said, "That's it! There are a few logistics needs in the army, so I will leave them behind for the time being, and then I will hand over the errands of cooking and daily tidying up to them. However, there are not many people who need logistics, you pick the available ones to stay first, and the rest can only be solved by yourself, after all, we are not a shelter, and we can't do charity. ”

Ban Lingruo was ordered to go and arrange it.

Sure enough, with the first one coming, the second will soon follow. I heard that the women's army had recruited two refugee female soldiers, and families from all over the country who were living in distress came to the capital one after another.

In just a few days, the refugees who got the news gathered outside the city as if they were fleeing.

Sima Hongyan had already prepared and set up a registration station ten miles away from the four gates of the capital. For the time being, I borrowed some manpower from Yan Hung to arrange for the registration to be accepted. Only women who meet the requirements of the women's army can enter the city to report to the women's army camp.

In three days, thousands of people had gathered outside the city to sign up for the women's army, but only about 100 people actually met the requirements. In order to send a daughter, more than a dozen members of the family came with them, hoping to find an errand to stay in the capital.

For this point, Sima Hongyan did not make any concessions, and demanded that only those who met the standards could stay, and no one else would accept them. If you can't agree, it's easy to do, please bring back how your daughter brought.

Many people weigh the pros and cons, and if their daughter joins the army, they can be regarded as having something to eat, and they are one by one who survives. In case my daughter can make a little bit of a difference in the future, maybe she can still support the family.

Most of them still choose to leave their children behind, and their own families will think of other ways.

Although Sima Hongyan had taken all aspects into account, the fact that so many refugees had poured into the capital for a while still made Emperor Yanzhen a little worried. And the ministers were even more dissatisfied with Sima Hongyan, in case these refugees gathered outside the capital to make trouble, it was not a joke, for a time the Manchu civil and military were constantly impeaching Sima Hongyan.

The pressure of the ministers made Emperor Yanzhen a little embarrassed, and in desperation, he ordered Sima Hongyan to go to the palace as soon as possible and give an explanation to the ministers. In fact, the emperor's heart wanted Sima Hongyan to solve the ministers' concerns by himself.

Sima Hongyan made such a big move, and those ministers in the court would definitely not bypass him. So he took Ban Lingruo and Shi Jinyan to enter the palace the next day and participate in the early dynasty.

Before going, Sima Hongyan, Ban Lingruo, and Shi Jinyan made detailed plans, and with the assistance of Yan Hong, they were full of confidence and no cowardice when they entered the palace the next day.

Now the number of female soldiers has reached more than 100 years, and there is no specific training for the time being. Every day, I first asked Ban Lingruo and Shi Jinyan to explain the rules of the army and do some physical fitness activities.

Sima Hongyan's plan is to recruit the first batch of 200 female soldiers, and then conduct systematic training, it is estimated that these weak women who have no choice but to defect are miraculous to be able to stay half of them after training.
