Chapter 332: Recruiting Female Soldiers
Xu Yingwei and other recruiters have not yet returned to their hometowns, but there is a general who has come to the aid of Xuzhou and has officially returned to Wuyi Lane in Nanjing to prepare for recruitment.
This general who came to aid Xuzhou was Li Xiangjun.
When Li Xiangjun led a team of border troops to the entrance of Wuyi Alley, she happened to see Chen Zhenhui with more than a dozen family members entering Wuyi Alley in front of her.
Chen Zhenhui?
Li Xiangjun frowned slightly.
The heart said that she was probably coming to her mother.
At that moment, Li Xiangjun took the border army to follow up.
Li Xiangjun guessed right, Chen Zhenhui really came to find Li Zhenli.
Because Li Zhenli, the mother of the bustard of the original Meixianglou, is Chen Zhenhui's old friend.
said that she was a bustard's mother, but in fact, she was in her early thirties, and she was more like Li Xiangjun's sister.
Since Li Zhenli sold Meixiang Building, she has built a small building in Wuyi Lane, and has found people to buy several little girls who are focusing on training, planning to return to Qinhuai River in a few years.
As soon as Chen Zhenhui came to the door and said, Li Zhenli's lungs exploded in a moment.
"Chen Dingsheng, how can there be such a shameless person as you in this world?" Li Zhenli was so angry that she trembled, her hands and feet were cold, "It's okay if you don't marry me for a long time, after all, the old lady is a dusty woman, and her age is not as good as that of a little girl, but the old lady has been with you for more than ten years, and she has already washed all the lead for you and kept yourself clean, but now you are ......"
Chen Zhenhui salivated and said: "Li Niang, just this time, please help me this time no matter what, and when this time is completed, I will immediately return to my hometown in Yixing to tell my mother and accept you as a concubine." β
Li Zhenli sneered when she heard this: "How many times have I heard you say the same thing?" I won't believe you anymore, in fact, what Xiangjun girl said is right, you and Hou Fangyu are the same goods, in your hearts, you have never really regarded us sisters as people, our sisters are just a luxury item for you romantic talents, you can use it to decorate your faΓ§ade when you need it, and you can give it to others casually if you don't need it. β
Chen Zhenhui was also a little impatient, and her face fell: "Liniang, it's not interesting for you to say that." β
"It's boring, then you should get out of here." Once Li Zhenli turned her face, she was also unforgiving, "If you have to die and beg to stay here to suffer my eyes, are you cheap?" β
"Slut!" Chen Zhenhui was furious and slapped her.
Just heard the sound of a snap, and Li Zhenli left five finger marks on her face.
"Chen Dingsheng, the old lady fought with you!" Li Zhenli was furious, and reached out to scratch Chen Zhenhui's face.
Several family members following behind Chen Zhenhui hurriedly stepped forward and knocked Li Zhenli to the ground.
At this moment, a Qianying rushed out of the courtyard with a burning stick, and put down the two family members with two clicks, and Chen Zhenhui and several other family members hurriedly retreated.
looked at it again, but it was a pretty little girl of sixteen or seventeen years old.
Although this little girl looks smart, she is obviously different from ordinary little girls.
If other little girls are sold into prostitution, the first thing must be to wrap their little feet, but this little girl in front of her has a pair of heavenly feet, and her hands are also full of calluses.
Chen Zhenhui said: "Where did this wild girl come from?" β
Li Zhenli shouted: "Young girl, get rid of them!" β
The little girl named Nenniang immediately burned the fire stick and said, "Mom said, let you get out of here!" β
However, Chen Zhenhui had a new idea, and said that it was better to snatch this pretty girl and give it to Wang Wei, anyway, this girl was bought by Li Zhenli, and Li Zhenli was his woman, so she didn't break the law.
At that moment, Chen Zhenhui waved her hand and said, "Take down this little girl for my son!" β
"Yes!" More than a dozen family members agreed, and immediately pounced on them.
But this little girl is really good, a burning stick is wielded vigorously, and more than a dozen sturdy family members of the Chen family were stunned and couldn't get close, but were beaten to cry and cry for their mother.
The little girl scolded while beating: "If you don't know each other again, this girl will be a killer." β
Well, the co-authors haven't made a killer, so I don't know if it's a bluff, or is it true?
Anyway, Chen Zhenhui didn't believe it, thinking that the little girl was bluffing, and just as he was about to spend some money to go outside to hire people, a group of soldiers wearing hat-shaped helmets and cotton armor suddenly rushed in.
And the soldiers were armed with birds, and were targeting him and his men.
Facing the mouth of the black hole, more than a dozen members of the Chen family were so frightened that they didn't dare to move, and Chen Zhenhui was also pale like dirt, what is the situation? How did Li Zhenli hook up with the government?
But soon, Chen Zhenhui knew what was going on.
Because the one who followed these officers and soldiers into the walk was Li Xiangjun.
I saw Li Xiangjun wearing a white cotton armor, with a bowl on his head, and he was really heroic.
"Li Xiang......" Chen Zhenhui shouted halfway through, and quickly changed her words, "Meet General Li." β
Li Xiangjun glanced at Chen Zhenhui coldly, walked up to Li Zhenli and called softly, "Mom." β
"Xiang girl, are you back in Nanjing?" Li Zhenli cried with joy when she saw Li Xiangjun, "You're back, if you don't come back, your mother will be bullied to death." β
Li Xiangjun also saw the slap marks on Li Zhenli's face.
A pretty face immediately cooled down and asked, "Mom, who beat you?" β
"No one hit me, but I was scratched by a dog." Li Zhenli shook her head.
The little girl next to her said, "Chen Zhenhui beat it." β
"Chen Zhenhui?" Li Xiangjun Huo Ran turned around.
"General Li, Xiaosheng ......"
Chen Zhenhui wanted to explain, but she didn't know how to say it.
Li Xiangjun didn't want to hear his explanation at all, and said in a coquettish voice: "Come on, slap him in the mouth!" β
A border army commander immediately came out of the crowd, and couldn't help but say that according to Chen Zhenhui's face, there were two slaps on his face, and these two blows were extremely ruthless, and Chen Zhenhui's face immediately swollen.
Chen Zhenhui didn't dare to say anything.
In the past, relying on the son of Chen Yuting, the leader of the Donglin Party, and the leader of the Fushe Society, Chen Zhenhui could really walk sideways in Nanjing, not to mention the generals at that time, even the general soldiers had to salute respectfully when they saw him, but now the Donglin Party has fallen, the Fushe has also collapsed, and he Chen Zhenhui has become a rat crossing the street.
At such a time, a general or even the sentry chief dared to embarrass him.
What's more, Li Xiangjun is not only a general of the border army, but also has another identity.
Although no one has confirmed this matter, it is mostly true.
Li Xiangjun shouted again: "Chen Zhenhui, if you dare to make trouble again, General Ben will be unkind to you, don't get out of here!" β
Chen Zhenhui left with her family in ashes, but Li Zhenli held Li Xiangjun and asked, "Xiang girl, didn't the outside say that the saint took you upstarts to climb the Lion Rock?" Why didn't you go? β
Li Xiangjun said: "My daughter was in a hurry to see her mother, so she came back halfway." β
"This girl." Li Zhenli was angry and happy, and when she was done, she pulled the pretty little girl and said to Li Xiangjun, "Xiang girl, this is your little sister, Ge Nenniang." β
Ge Nenniang bowed and said in a coquettish voice: "Nenniang has seen Sister Xiangjun." β
"What a pretty little girl." Li Xiangjun touched Ge Nenniang's pretty face lovingly, and asked, "I saw that the dozen or so family members just now are not your opponents, where did you learn your martial arts?" β
Hearing this, Ge Nenniang's pair of beautiful eyes immediately turned red, and she looked like she wanted to cry.
Li Zhenli next to her sighed and said: "Nen Niang's martial arts were learned from her father, her father Ge Tingyu was originally a general in Liaoxi, after Wu Sangui surrendered to slavery, his father was unwilling to be complicit, so he fled from Shanhaiguan with his wife and daughter under the protection of his family, and was chased and killed by the Guan Ning army. β
"His father was killed by the Guan Ning Army to protect them."
"The family members of the Ge family are also dead and scattered."
"In the end, only their mother and daughter were left to rely on each other."
Speaking of this, Li Zhenli also had tears in her eyes: "Her mother left the last bite of food to the young lady, but she starved to death, and the young lady also begged all the way to Nanjing." β
"Good sister." Li Xiangjun was also extremely distressed when she heard it.
After a long time, Li Xiangjun said: "Sister Nenniang, it's a pity that your martial arts stay in the Qinhuai River to entertain people, why don't you follow my sister and me to serve the court in the army?" β
"Sister Xiangjun, can the young lady also join the army?"
When Ge Nenniang heard this, a pair of beautiful eyes immediately lit up.
Born in a general, her biggest dream is to be a female general.
If given a choice, who would want to stay in the prostitute and become a prostitute?
"Of course." Li Xiangjun nodded with a smile and said, "In ancient times, there were women, Hua Mulan, Liang Hongyu and others in the army, and besides, sister, I am not also a woman, so I was also made a general by the saint?" What's more, sister, your martial arts are so good, your future achievements will definitely be above your sister, and it is entirely possible to be a general soldier. β
"Hmm." Ge Nenniang nodded again and again, "That Nenniang listens to my sister." β
"Huh, hey, huh." Li Zhenli said angrily and funny, "You just listen to the fragrant girl, I am the one who bought you back from the human tooth for money, don't you ask my mother my opinion?" β
Ge Nenniang was stunned when she heard this, really, how did she forget this stubble?
"Mom, you love me the most." Li Xiangjun hugged Li Zhenli's arm and was coquettish, "Besides, I'm a woman, and the barracks are full of men, which is really inconvenient." β
"Yes." Li Zhenli glanced at the soldiers standing like javelins outside.
"There's no one around to call, and it's really inconvenient, so okay, let the young lady follow you."
Li Xiangjun continued: "Mom, my daughter has one more thing she wants to ask you, you must help me." β
"Okay, you didn't come back to see me." Li Zhenli pretended to be angry and said, "Make me happy with this scene." β
"Mom, of course my daughter is back to visit you." Li Xiangjun said coquettishly, "Doing things is just incidental, belch, mom, you can help your daughter, help me." β
"Okay, what's the matter?" Li Zhenli suddenly couldn't resist.
Li Xiangjun said: "Mom, can you find more people to come over, my daughter wants to buy someone." β
Buying people is actually just a pretext, what Li Xiangjun really wants to do is recruit soldiers, and she is also a female soldier, Chongzhen personally promised her at the beginning, allowing her to recruit a battalion of female soldiers.
Li Xiang returned to Nanjing this time to recruit soldiers.
"You want to buy someone?" Li Zhenli was stunned and asked, "What person?" β
"Rough maid." Li Xiangjun said, "My daughter wants to buy a batch of rough maids to serve by her side, but you'd better let those people have more candidates, and your daughter has to pick some ones with great strength and strong bones." β
Li Zhenli looked at Li Xiangjun with an indescribable and only meaningful look.
"Xiang girl, you tell your mother honestly, you ...... with you" Li Zhenli asked in a low voice.
"Mom." Li Xiangjun avoided answering, "Don't ask, go find someone for me." β
"You treat your mother as a maid." Li Zhenli couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's dark today, even if you look for it, you can't find it until tomorrow." β
β¦β¦
Li Zhenli really treats Li Xiangjun as her own daughter.
Early the next morning, Li Zhenli personally came forward to call all the people in the Qinhuai River to her home.
As soon as Li Xiangjun mentioned the requirements for selecting people, dozens of people scattered in an instant, looking for those girls with strong physiques and big feet and thick hands in the city of Nanjing and even in the countryside outside the city.
That's right, Li Xiangjun wants a girl, not a married woman.
But this is actually not Li Xiangjun's request, but Chongzhen specially told her.
Chongzhen asked Li Xiangjun to recruit unmarried girls, and the reason was very simple, that is, to find a daughter-in-law for the town soldiers.
Nearly 150,000 soldiers in the 30 towns of Xuzhou have been officially retired, and the Qingzhang and division of Entian are also in full swing under the auspices of Du Yinxi.
But in order for these 150,000 soldiers to really settle down in Xuzhou, they have to find a way to solve their lifelong affairs.
It is a solution to let these town soldiers go back to their hometowns to marry their daughters-in-law, but there will always be some town soldiers who are stupid and can't marry their daughters-in-law, so the court has to find a way to be a matchmaker for them.
What do you say, do you think that the daughter-in-law assigned by the court has big hands and thick feet, a black face, and is not handsome? If you have the ability, you can find a daughter-in-law by yourself, if you don't have the ability, don't be foolish, it's good to have a daughter-in-law, you still pick and choose.
Besides, after those dozens of people got Li Xiangjun's orders, they searched everywhere for eligible girls.
Then in the afternoon of the same day, the first batch of eligible girls were sent to Wuyi Lane, and there were more than 100 of them!
After Li Xiangjun asked Ge Nenniang to register the names and origins of these girls, she asked them to go home and wait for news.
After sending away Renya, Li Xiangjun took Ge Nenniang and dozens of border troops and began to recruit soldiers door-to-door, which was the girl that Renyazi was looking for before.
Soon came to one of the charcoal mills.
I saw an old man slapping a sturdy girl with a thorn strip, and the girl's back was already stained with blood.
The old man counted down while whipping: "What are you not doing, you can eat, and finally there are big families who are willing to buy you to be a rough maid, but you don't want to, what else do you say, me?" β
Tears poured down the girl's face, but she couldn't hold back and didn't cry.
Li Xiangjun couldn't stand it anymore, and immediately said coquettishly: "Stop, don't beat people!" β
"Who? The little old man takes care of his daughter, can you control you? The old man was furious.
