When Zhang Mingwei came to the women's camp, he naturally had the idea to resettle these women.
After getting on the temporary stage and looking at the frightened faces below, Zhang Mingwei said to them: "Now you are free. If you have a place to go, you can report it and the government will arrange for you to go where you want." Places to go."
His words spread from his subordinates to the outside world and were heard by the women who were paying close attention to him outside.
However, these women who were kidnapped by the bandits basically had their families destroyed, so where could they go? Furthermore, even if you have a relative or friend who you can rely on, after being robbed by bandits, your innocence will be stained, and you will go to another place, and your life will probably be very difficult.
Therefore, after Zhang Mingwei finished speaking, although he did not hear the responses of the women below, he could basically tell what their answers were by looking at their faces.
This situation is actually not surprising at all. Zhang Mingwei thought in his mind, and then said: "If there is no place to go, then I plan to select some of them to serve as soldiers, and the rest will take the lead in pairing up with the soldiers in the military camp to live a stable life. Of course, these are all of your own free will. .”
After hearing his words, everyone who heard them was immediately shocked by his words. Even the soldiers who conveyed the message thought they had heard wrongly, so they turned to look at Duke Xingguo, thinking, choosing female soldiers?
In Chinese history, there were indeed female soldiers. However, most of the so-called female soldiers are actually just personal guards of female generals. Fighting on the battlefield has always been a man's business, and women should go away.
For a while, many people had a misunderstanding and thought that Duke Xingguo wanted to select female personal soldiers, but how many people could he need?
Besides, aren’t there already a group of female soldiers around the Duke? Aren’t they all standing in the role of the Duke of the country? Doesn’t the Duke think that there are not enough women?
At this time, many women have actually come to the conclusion that these men all have the same virtue!
Looking at their looks, Zhang Mingwei knew that they had misunderstood, so he said with a smile: "I guess you don't know this yet, let me introduce you, Princess Kunxing!"
As he spoke, he pointed at Zhu Yuluo beside him, who was dressed in military uniform. Whoever knew it, would really think that Zhu Yuluo was his personal guard.
Everyone was surprised when they heard that the young female general was Princess Kunxing of the Dang Dynasty.
She's a princess, she's so beautiful, why did she end up in the army?
Zhang Mingwei didn't need them to figure out the cause and effect, and just continued: "I am going to select two thousand female soldiers to serve under Princess Kunxing!"
As soon as these words came out of his mouth, even Zhu Yuluo herself was shocked.
Zhang Mingwei had not communicated with her beforehand, but suddenly said that she wanted to recruit two thousand female soldiers, and she became excited immediately.
She has been with Zhang Mingwei for some time, and under the guidance of Zhou Liu, she has learned about battlefield battles, especially the female general Qin Liangyu. To be honest, Zhu Ayao also really wants to become a famous general on the battlefield, like Qin Liangyu. , figures like Mu Guiying.
However, she also thought of a question. Even Qin Liangyu was not leading female soldiers. What did he mean by giving himself two thousand female soldiers?
She thought so, and so did the women below. Each one of them has no strength and wants to go to the battlefield. This is too strong for anyone! Thinking about going to the battlefield to fight with those male soldiers, every one of them lost their beauty.
"Sir, can I choose by myself?" After hearing this, Zhu Yulao immediately asked, "Sister Zhou taught me, I will definitely be able to choose good female soldiers."
After hearing this, Zhang Mingwei turned to look at her, then at Mrs. Zhou Liu behind her, and finally shook his head and said, "Wait until I finish!"
Then, he turned back and said to the women below who did not dare to speak, but many of them had expressions of fear: "You serve as soldiers and are paid according to the cavalry salary. Among them, there are 1,500 of them. They are health soldiers, and five hundred people are art soldiers."
Hearing this, all the women were confused. What does it mean? What is a health soldier, and what is an art soldier? Although they were really looking forward to being given cavalry pay, they had no idea what they were going to do!
On the other hand, Zhu Ainao understood a little bit of the meaning. Health soldiers should be the kind she used to bring female soldiers to care for the wounded. She had actually heard her husband talk about them before. But what are literary soldiers?
Zhang Mingwei certainly knew that they would be confused, after all, this was something that had never happened before. Therefore, he explained: "The medical soldiers are actually a branch of the military that takes care of injured soldiers. This includes treating injuries, bandaging wounds, and helping injured soldiers recover. There will be a dedicated doctor to teach you how to do the relevant knowledge!"
Having said this, he pointed at Zhu Aina and said: "In fact, the female soldiers under the princess are already doing this. Let me tell you, the most respected unit in the official army today is not the cavalry or the cavalry. My personal guards are these health soldiers!"
Hearing this, the women below turned to look at the female soldiers behind Zhang Mingwei and Princess Kunxing. Health soldiers, to put it bluntly, take care of people. You don't have to go to the battlefield and you can still get respect. Realizing this, they immediately remembered that they had the same military pay as the cavalry. Suddenly, hope and desire ignited in the eyes of many people.
They have nowhere to go, so if they can get such a job, it would be the best!
Zhang Mingwei only paused for a moment, and then explained to them: "As for the artistic soldiers, they are soldiers who sing and boost morale."
Upon hearing this, most women no longer want to hear it and want to become health soldiers. For the first time, they don't know how to sing, and they don't believe that singing to the generals can boost their morale? Some people even wondered whether the literary soldier had changed his words in a tactful way and finally let them do the original thing?
Even Zhu Ainao looked puzzled after hearing this. However, she had been with Zhang Mingwei for a long time and knew that Zhang Mingwei was not that kind of person, so she stayed silent and prepared to listen before talking.
"You should have all heard the song that the imperial officers and soldiers sang in unison, right?" Zhang Mingwei continued to talk to them, and even hummed a few times: "The wind is roaring, and the horses are roaring to protect the entire Ming Dynasty."
The simple lyrics were sung in one go, and then he asked loudly: "Isn't it very simple? Artistic soldiers want to sing similar songs like this to all the soldiers in the army. I have also prepared two other songs, When the time comes, it will be up to you to sing it to all the soldiers in the army."
"The first song is the Three Major Disciplines and Eight Points of Attention, which tells all the soldiers that now we are all officers and soldiers of the imperial court. Military discipline is strict and we must not disturb the people." Of course Zhang Mingwei will not copy the lyrics of later generations. The content in them is not in line with the current situation of this era. All have been adapted.
The reason why I mention this now is because after reorganizing Luo Rucai's men, the main force of the imperial army has actually become more people who have been recruited. At this time, military discipline must be taken very seriously and emphasized.
When it comes to emphasizing military discipline, the best way is actually to learn from later generations and compose songs about what should not be done and what should be done, so that the officers and soldiers can remember it firmly.
This point is actually not exclusive to later generations. Qi Jiguang did this.
Zhang Mingwei continued to speak loudly: "The second song is called Unity is Strength. It is also very simple. You can learn it as soon as you learn it. Let everyone know that only when everyone unites can we end this troubled world, create a peaceful and prosperous era, and let the people live and work in peace and contentment." "
Needless to say, Unity is Strength was also adapted. We must let the soldiers who were originally rogues know, but also let the local officials, gentry, and local people know that if we want to return to peace, we cannot only rely on the efforts of the emperor and the regular army of the court, but also need to rely on the efforts of all members of society. Only by working together at the grassroots level can peace be returned to the world as soon as possible!
Zhang Mingwei wants an army that, in addition to honoring their ancestors, also wants them to know that what they are doing is meaningful and worthy of their efforts, whether it is for themselves or their descendants. , relatives and friends!
What to fight for! This is an indispensable part of the military soul!
After roughly talking about it, Zhang Mingwei even sang it in public.
In this era, singing may be considered inferior to others. However, now these women see that they can sing in public despite their dignity. Not only that, these lyrics are very uplifting and interesting.
Suddenly, the eyes of many of these women lit up, especially those from official families.
After Zhang Mingwei finished singing, he said: "I just gave two examples. In the future, the art soldiers will need to think and create by themselves. The purpose is to boost the morale of the army and make the soldiers serve the country loyally and fearlessly. You can dig up the deeds of those loyal and brave soldiers and sing about them, or you can turn the experience of being tortured by bandits into an easy-to-understand opera, so that this kind of tragedy will never happen again."
In one breath, Zhang Mingwei gave many examples, which immediately opened up the understanding of these women. It turns out that there are so many things that female soldiers can do, and these things are so important!
At this moment, many people realize that they are still very useful, no worse than those men!
After seeing that it was almost done, Zhang Mingwei stopped talking and turned to Zhu Yuluo: "You said you want to choose by yourself, then you will choose, 1,500 health soldiers, 500 art soldiers, what exactly do they do, I have already said, just choose according to this purpose."
Zhu Yuyao nodded excitedly, and then she suddenly came close to Zhang Mingwei's ear and asked in a low voice: "Sir, will there be such female soldiers in future generations?"
"Of course!" Zhang Mingwei nodded after hearing this, and then he saw that Zhu Aona seemed to be even more excited.
At this time, for some reason, Zhang Mingwei's mind suddenly flashed to the figure of a health worker during the Soviet Patriotic War, who braved the hail of bullets to rescue the wounded on the battlefield.
