Through this period of tempering, the excellence of some girls has gradually been revealed. Learn faster than others, comprehend better than others, and have smarter brains than others.

So Sima Hongyan reassigned these outstanding girls through consultation with Ban Lingruo and Shi Jinyan to serve as the female commander of each class.

And on this day, Zhong Liying, who had been waiting for a month, finally came.

Zhong Liying, who had been separated for a month, looked even more heroic, and Sima Hongyan and several people warmly received her.

According to Zhong Liying, this time she was not disappointed and met her aunt Zhong Lique, who had been absent for a long time. The two have been together for many days and are inseparable.

Later, when he heard Zhong Liying say that he was going to come with his apprentice Ban Lingruo to assist Sima Hongyan in building the women's army, Zhong Liqi was very happy and urged Zhong Liying to come back quickly. and told her and Ban Lingruo to do a good job!

At this moment, the four daughters are together again, which is already of deep significance, and they are unwilling to separate.

In the end, at the suggestion of Ban Lingruo, the four daughters married Jin Lan and became sisters with different surnames.

Set up an incense case in the barracks, with heaven and earth as the basis, and two hundred female soldiers as witnesses. The four kowtowed to heaven and became sisters.

Sima Hongyan is the oldest at twenty-one years old, and deserves to be the eldest sister, Shi Jinyan and Ban Lingruo are both twenty, but Shi Jinyan is a few months older than Ban Lingruo, the second sister and the third sister respectively, Zhong Liying is only eighteen years old and becomes the fourth sister.

Yanling has always only had men as brothers, and women have never been Jinlan for each other.

As soon as this incident came out, it caused a sensation in Yanling, and half of it was praised and depreciated. The praise all said that the four women dared to break through the old customs and stand out from the crowd. The derogatories all scolded the four women for not respecting women's morality and being bold and reckless.

ignores the outside world's judgment of the four women, and goes their own way.

Every ten days, Sima Hongyan entered the harem and reported the progress of the female army to Emperor Yanzhen. Emperor Yanzhen praised it greatly, and specially awarded Sima Hongyan the five-grade female military captain, and the three daughters of poetry, class, and Zhongli also had their own rewards.

Sima Hongyan specially asked Emperor Yanzhen to name the female army.

After thinking about it for a while, Emperor Yanzhen said: "The female army is only where it is today because of your Sima Hongyan, so I think I will simply name it after you and call it 'Hongyan Army'." ”

Sima Hongyan bowed down and said, "Your Majesty! This courtier didn't dare to be it. The courtiers just helped the emperor prepare for the establishment, how dare they name it after the courtiers? I don't dare to take this seriously! ”

Emperor Yanzhen smiled: "There is still something that you Sima Hongyan dare not do?" But do you know what I admire about you? It's your competitive spirit that is stronger than men. If there is no one else to me, why stick to one name? ”

Sima Hongyan suddenly came to his senses and thanked him: "Then I will thank the emperor for his grace!" "This is the first time that I have thanked you from the bottom of my heart.

Emperor Yanzhen accepted it calmly, and when Sima Hongyan got up, he said: "The female army is really the first in the world, and I have great expectations for it. I'll just give you another military badge today! In the future, your Hongyan Army will use the purple butterfly as its emblem, and the military flag and armor emblem in the future can be used. Later, I will engrave a Purple Butterfly military seal for you, and it is justified for you to be in command. ”

The whole army of Yanling is a unified Yanling Feiyan military emblem, which is the first other type of military emblem to appear. It can be seen that Emperor Yanzhen attaches great importance to Sima Hongyan's female army.

didn't expect the emperor to support himself to this extent, but Sima Hongyan felt not joy, but pressure. The emperor raised himself and his female army so high, not to mention the jealousy of others, if he didn't do well, he really couldn't explain to Emperor Yanzhen.

After receiving these honors, Sima Hongyan walked out of the palace in a nervous mood. I always felt that the honor given by the emperor was too great, and I felt that my shoulders weighed more than a thousand pounds for a while.

When they returned to the barracks and told the three sisters, Ban Lingruo and Zhong Liying were overjoyed, but Shi Jinyan was silent. Sima Hongyan saw it and said to Shi Jinyan: "Second sister, do you think that the emperor's kindness is not particularly beneficial to us?" ”

Shi Jinyan said: "It's a disaster! We haven't seen any achievements yet, and the emperor has rewarded them like this. All of a sudden, we were targeted. There are countless generals who have fought in the DPRK and China for many years, and none of them have ever received a unique military emblem for their meritorious service. Even General Sima, who shocked the four kingdoms back then, that is, your father, did not have such treatment back then. ”

Sima Hongyan said: "I think so too, the emperor is obviously putting us in a more passive situation by doing this." On the surface, we are beautiful, but secretly we have become everyone's enemy! ”

Shi Jinyan said: "The matter has come to this point, and there is no other way. We can only step up our training, hoping that the women's army will become a veritable and powerful army in our hands as soon as possible. ”

That being said, it's not so easy to build a full-fledged army. Sima Hongyan thought to himself in his heart, I'm afraid he has to think of some way.

In a flash, Sima Hongyan thought of something, and said to the other three: "I don't think we can do things according to common sense. I have an idea, but it's not mature yet, you can help me refine it. ”

Hearing that Sima Hongyan had a new proposition, Ban Lingruo and Zhong Liying also sat down.

Sima Hongyan spread out a blank piece of paper, and then said to the three of them: "We are not going to train soldiers who go to the battlefield to fight with knives, so it doesn't make much sense for us to teach them knowledge and martial arts. And continuing at the current pace is not in line with the original intention of establishing a women's army. ”

Ban Lingruo wondered: "If these female soldiers have no knowledge and no martial arts, what else can they do?" ”

Sima Hongyan smiled slyly and said, "This is what I just thought of, and I want to start through these aspects!" As he spoke, he wrote it on a blank piece of paper in front of him.

Shi Jinyan and the three of them looked down carefully, and saw Sima Hongyan writing on the white paper in turn: wine, music, gambling, cheating, killing, stealing, confusing, cooking, acting, speaking, imitation, hiding, makeup, a total of thirteen words.

Ban Ling didn't understand, and looked at Sima Hongyan in confusion, his eyes full of questions.

Sima Hongyan explained to several people: "Every word of this is a kind of ability, and what our female army needs to learn is these abilities." Not only is it more difficult than going into battle to kill the enemy, but not everyone can learn it. ”

Zhong Liying read it several times, and asked strangely: "Every word is a skill, so is this wine word also a skill?" Does this mean drinking? ”

Sima Hongyan said: "Yes, but not all!" 'Wine' includes being able to drink, being able to drink, knowing how to drink, knowing what wine to drink in what season, when and on what occasion, and even what cup to use when drinking. And you have to be able to taste what kind of wine it is and how many years it has in one sip. If you can practice to this level, you will be considered qualified! ”

Ban Ling Ruoqi said: "What's the use of learning this? We are not going to compare the amount of wine with the enemy. ”

Sima Hongyan said: "Let me say so." Our purpose is to get close to the enemy and use our way to win. But what you can't ignore is that we are women after all, and no matter how high our martial arts training is, our physical condition cannot surpass that of men after all. Therefore, we can only use our own favorable conditions to create opportunities. ”

Ban Lingruo said: "I still don't understand what this has to do with being able to drink!" ”

Sima Hongyan said: "Suppose we are going to collect information about an enemy general now, but his defense is so tight that strangers can't approach him at all, and his martial arts are extremely high. In addition to liking to drink, he has almost no loopholes, so will our alcoholic female soldiers be useful? ”

Ban Lingruo said: "Sister, isn't your hypothetical probability too small?" ”

Sima Hongyan said helplessly: "Why can't you figure it out?" Isn't there only one word for wine here, don't you see that I have summed up thirteen skills? ”

Shi Jinyan, who was listening on the side, had some understanding, she stopped Ban Lingruo, who was still talking, and said, "You let the eldest sister finish her thoughts, and it's not too late to ask if you don't understand." ”

Ban Lingruo stuck out her tongue at Sima Hongyan and made a grimace.

In fact, Sima Hongyan's idea was to borrow the cross competition method of Yanling's annual martial arts event, so she also listed thirteen characters to represent the various skills that the female army will learn in the future. Of course, these are not a way for everyone to have to learn, but a way to choose according to their own conditions and areas of expertise.
