At the beginning in Dongzhou, Xueqin's recruit unit was transferred to Hengxian to garrison, at first it was very peaceful, every day in addition to training is training, Xueqin is not afraid of hardship, relying on tenacious will to persevere, but the physical strength is still a little insufficient, so he failed to serve as the captain of the recruit.

Later, the Yuanhe Empire sent troops to attack, Heng County, as a border town, was fiercely attacked, several battles, Xueqin luckily survived, only suffered some minor injuries, later, received an order from the imperial capital, their legion was transferred back to the imperial capital, to the air base on the outskirts of the imperial capital after they learned about the air force.

Later, half of the female soldiers were transferred to Nanzhou, Xueqin and they began to accept some relevant knowledge about the Air Force and airships, and later they were transferred to the Emerald Island, at that time Xueqin was still looking forward to seeing Yuan Fang, but Yuan Fang had been hiding in the residence and did not show up at all, today, I finally saw this guy, but on this occasion and because of this kind of thing, Xueqin was a little helpless.

For her past, Xueqin had been prepared since the time she decided to join the army, but today, she was mentioned in public and ridiculed and disliked, Xueqin's heart was very painful, until this time she knew that she was not ready, and the inferiority complex from the depths of her heart made her unable to raise her head, if it weren't for that belief barely supporting her, Xueqin might have left just now.

Xueqin kept her composure, with mixed feelings in her heart, including the joy of seeing Yuan Fang, the loss and sadness of being disliked, and the dedication to the profession of a soldier. Tao Rong didn't notice the change in Yuan Fang and Xueqin's eyes, and said eloquently: "Legion commander, captain and pilot will become officers in the near future, is that true?" ”

Yuan Fang nodded, this is the rule he set, that is, to maintain the competitiveness of the troops, so that all the officers and men of the air force can study hard to improve their various abilities in this atmosphere, so Yuan Fang decided that the captain and pilot should be one person, responsible for commanding all the crew members, and giving them the rank of lieutenant and equal treatment.

The lieutenant is no longer a squad leader, but a real registered officer, with a completely different status and benefits from ordinary soldiers, which is one of the reasons why everyone is so enthusiastic about the position of captain and pilot.

Tao Rong continued: "As an officer of the empire, I believe that there will be more opportunities to contact people outside the army, and Xueqin, who used to be from a bad background, is very unclean, if, when in contact with the outside world, he will meet his former benefactor, Xueqin will be embarrassed, and it may affect his calm judgment and correct command, besides, if it is really like that, if the matter spreads, Xueqin can become an officer of the empire, will it have an extremely bad impact on the empire or our Tianyao Air Force?" Legionnaire, that's my opinion, I'm done. ”

Yuan Fang took a deep breath, things seemed to be a little complicated, although this Chen Rong had some strong words, but it was not unreasonable.

His eyes looked at Xueqin again, and seeing her sad head bowed without saying a word, Yuan Fang's heart ached, raised his head, looked around the audience, and said loudly: "Everyone, maybe you will think that what Tao Rong said makes sense, but I have a different point of view, first of all, personal background is not something that can be chosen by oneself, it doesn't matter what you have done, it is important to come here to be a soldier, a glorious imperial soldier." I want to ask you, Tao Rong, what did you do before you joined the army? ”

Tao Rong straightened his waist and replied proudly: "My family does some small business, I don't have to worry about food and clothing, I don't do anything, just stay at home." ”

Yuan Fang nodded: "Oh, it turned out to be from a wealthy family." ”

casually pointed to a female soldier Yuan Fang and asked, "What did you do before?" ”

The female soldier replied honestly: "My family is poor, and I don't know how to do any craft, so I follow my mother to help people wash clothes and earn some scraps of silver to survive." ”

Yuan Fang nodded: "Well, now that you are a soldier, the living conditions at home should improve, right?" ”

The female soldier smiled and said, "Well, what my brother-in-law said is right, the military salary has been handed over to my mother, and now it is no longer a problem for the family to have enough food." ”

Yuan Fang smiled and said: "Keep working hard, if you are promoted to an officer, or if you make enough achievements, you will get more and take better care of your family." ”

The female soldier was moved to tears, nodded heavily, and said, "I know my brother-in-law, I will work hard." ”

Yuan Fang pointed to a female soldier and asked, "What about you, what did you do before?" ”

Then, Yuan Fang asked about the origins of more than a dozen female soldiers, most of these young and even a few female soldiers who have just become adults were born in poverty, some helped the family farm and exercised a good body, and some were ingenious, learned good female red skills, helped people sew and mend and do some embroidery or something, and a few were working as maids in large households.

Yuan Fang ended the inquiry and said loudly: "Everyone is trying to live with their own hands, no matter what they do, it is for this, and the same is true for Xueqin." ”

Tao Rong retorted: "How can this be the same? ”

Yuan Fang smiled and said, "What's the difference?" It's just that she was not lucky enough to be born in a wealthy family, Tao Rong, let me ask you, if your family is down, and even owes a large amount of foreign debt, the creditor forces your family to repay the money, and your family is forced to sell you to the Qinglou, what will you do? I'm just a metaphor and I don't mean anything else. ”

Tao Rong was silent. Yuan Fang continued: "Did you look down on yourself so much at that time? Or is it only you who can look down on others? The ones you just said can be used as a reference if they are in other places, but here, in the Tianyao Air Force, those are all farts, what is his M's background, what is his M's influence? Who cares? Everyone is a soldier, and I know that most of you have to come here for one reason or another, but as long as you wear this uniform, you are a soldier of the Empire, and you have no background in the army, if you really care about this, then is it the same for Your Majesty? Did he ever have to eat? Is that not qualified for him to be the emperor? And me, when I was a child, I also wandered the streets, grabbed food from wild dogs, and drilled other people's crotches in order to eat a bun, are these unbearable in your eyes? But I survived, and most of my other companions starved to death, and I came back, and I am still alive and well, and now I am your legion leader, Tao Rong, if you say so, am I not qualified to be the commander of this legion? Tao Rong opened his mouth, didn't say a word, lowered his head and said nothing.
