In the midst of a cry, the coffin was buried, and the people shoveled the earth and buried it, and then a high tomb was erected on it. The tomb is more than two meters high, one zhang square, very huge, and the porcelain pressed by the soil on it is solid. In front of the grave, Dong Ce also asked a stonemason to carve a tombstone for them, on which their lives, lives, status, and the glory of the war death were written.

The thick and sturdy coffin, the huge tomb, and the stone monument in front of the tomb, all this pomp and circumstance is simply an incredibly high standard compared to the poor military and civilian households.

is still the same sentence, Dong Ce knows that it is more effective to be good for the dead than for the living.

"Brother, let's go!"

Dong Ce stood in front of the tombstone and took a deep look.

Behind him, there was a cry.

He is a Shangguan, and this kind of action is already courteous enough and difficult enough.

As for other spirit sheds, spirit flags and the like, Dong Ce also prepared them, and if he wanted to do it, he would do a whole job. Anyway, it doesn't cost much silver, and the hearts of those who buy them are priceless, and now the people in Anxiangdun hate to die for Dong Ce immediately.

After waiting for a series of things to be done, Dong Ce turned around, faced everyone, and pressed down with both hands.

The noisy and noisy sound disappeared immediately, and the cry of the child, who was really uncontrollable, was suppressed to the limit, and only bursts of sobbing were heard.

Dong Ce faced everyone, took a deep breath of [一_本_read] novel xstxt, and said loudly: "This official wants to announce a decision to you today!" ”

"From this day forward, all women over the age of thirteen will also take part in daily training, like all men, bowing and arrows in the morning and spears in the afternoon."

"What? Do you want to train for your dependents? Drill female soldiers? ”

There was a loud whisper below, and the sound was so loud that it was not like a private discussion, but more like the opposition of the soldiers to Dong Ce's decision.

This is the first time they have used this kind of attitude similar to opposition to face Dong Ce, and it can be seen that Dong Ce's words have brought them such a huge shock!

There is a very ridiculous feeling in everyone's heart, and I just feel that this decision of the adult is really ridiculous.

To train female soldiers?

In fact, since ancient times, there has been no shortage of female soldiers in China, as early as the Shang Dynasty, the wife of Wu Ding, the king of the Shang Dynasty who reigned for 59 years, had a team of more than 300 female soldiers, and Wu Qi also trained female soldiers. Even in the current Ming Dynasty, many Tusi in Yunnan, Guizhou, Yunnan and Sichuan in the southwest also have female soldiers.

But having women in the army is too much trouble, and this trouble is enough to offset their combat value. In the army of this era, women basically played only one role in the army - military prostitutes.

At this time, most of them, or even all the people of the Ming Dynasty, were used to manage housework, have children, and continue their offspring. It's incredible that a woman is a soldier.

Dong Ce only said one sentence.

"The example of Su Dacheng's wife, Ma's family, you all see it."

Dong Ce said lightly.

As soon as he said this, the crowd below suddenly fell silent.

Ma's death is a thorn in the hearts of all of them, and it is faintly exuding pain all the time. The man is incompetent, his wife is taken captive, and when he comes back, he forces his wife to death. Although they didn't think there was anything wrong with Su Dacheng for this kind of behavior, they also knew that this was definitely not a glorious thing.

It is an indisputable fact that Ma was forced to death by the mouth of Youyou.

No one can argue with it.

Dong Ce glanced at everyone and said slowly: "I have been in Shilipu for a few years, you have been staying in Anxiangdun, there are some things, I have seen and heard a lot." Not far from our north is the Tartars, and in recent years, the Jiannu have also frequently come here to commit crimes, how many daughters, daughters-in-law and daughters-in-law of good families have been taken captive by the Tartars, and those who can't escape are needless to say, they died in a foreign land. Those who escaped back, everyone thought they were dirty, their husbands also scolded, their mothers also scolded, and idlers also scolded, how many of them could have a good end? Most of them have found short-sightedness, just like today's Ma's. ”

His gaze swept to Li Gui: "Li Gui, you come." ”

These heavy words unveiled a bloody reality that everyone knew but did not want to mention—that the women who returned home were killed more by their own people. The man who escaped back from the north is a well-known fugitive iron man, but the woman, that is the slut ****, has a loss of virtue.

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy and sluggish, everyone didn't speak, Su Dacheng's face became blood-red, and he was panting heavily.

Li Gui was a little afraid to face Dong Ce's gaze, he lowered his head, swallowed his saliva, and said bitterly: "I have heard over the years that there are always one hundred and thirty or fifty women who have been taken away from the surrounding Zhuangzi, and there must be three or four percent of them who can escape or be rescued, but after coming back, within a few days, they either hanged themselves or became monks-in-law." Last year, there was a person in Liupuzhuang who escaped from the north, only eighteen, and he was pregnant with the evil seed of Tartar, and his stomach was pregnant. His man was a mess, he was a wreck, and he didn't say anything when he saw him, so he lived like this, and the woman was at ease. But I didn't expect that on the day of delivery, as soon as the child came out, he snatched it from the old man, and slammed it to the ground, and it was directly smashed into a puddle of rotten meat. The child's mother was stimulated and died. The big matter of two people's lives was later disturbed, and no one cared about it, so it was over. ”

His words also concealed a deep meaning, and he was also reminding Dong Ce that this kind of thing is unbearable for any man. The nest is like an old man, and he is still so ruthless and ruthless in this matter, let alone others.

It can't be managed, but Dong Ce doesn't plan to manage it. Things on the level of consciousness are too profound, and now is not the time.

"This Li Gui has a bit of thought." Dong Ce secretly said in his heart.

"Everyone's heard, right? In just a few years, how many women have been taken captive and forced to die? We are in a dangerous frontier, and we have to guard against the Tartars and Jiannu at all times, and who can say that those who are taken captive in the future will not have your wives and daughters? ”

Dong Ce sneered, skillfully avoided the forbidden area of traditional thinking, glanced at everyone, and sneered: "Training female soldiers today can also allow them to fight bravely against the enemy, and also let them kill the Tartars!" At worst, it can also give them the strength to commit suicide without being humiliated! ”

Hearing this, everyone unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, if Dong Ce wanted to challenge their ethical norms formed by their ancestors for thousands of years, and insisted that they were not doing it right, those women did not deserve to die, and they had to change their minds strongly, they would definitely resist. But Dong Ce now said that training female soldiers is convenient for them to commit suicide at that time, which is very in line with their point of view, and it is much easier to accept.

The expressions of everyone Dong Ce were in full view, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

How difficult is it to challenge tradition? But everything that can be done is a character who is extremely against the sky and has good luck, and it is better not to hope for it for the time being.

In fact, Dong Ce has long had the idea of training female soldiers. At the beginning, he thought like this, mainly because the manpower under his hands was indeed too short. Pick out the female dependents over the age of thirteen from each family, and the strength can always be expanded.

Others looked down on female soldiers, thinking that they were either bandaging their wounds and doing some auxiliary soldiers' duties, or they were just tools to vent their desires, but Dong Ce never dared to underestimate these women.

Hong Xiuquan had 3,000 Hakka female soldiers as his personal soldiers, and in the ranks of the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom, there were even 100,000 female soldiers engaged in different combat positions.

This Taiping Heavenly King was also the first person to use female soldiers on a large scale.

These Hakka women, known as 'big-footed barbarians', have extremely strong combat effectiveness, when Wei Changhui rebelled, three thousand armored soldiers forced the Tianwangfu, and forcibly killed these big-footed barbarian women. Later, the Qing army invaded Tianjing City, and they were also in front of Hong Xiuquan's palace, and finally all **** died.

Once a woman aspires to dedicate herself to her faith or doctrine, she often bursts out with persistence and perseverance that far surpasses that of men. Whether it is the big-footed Hakka girl who guards the "Heavenly King's Mansion", or the Huangpu heroes who killed the enemy and resisted humiliation in the smoke of war, or the female Red Army who trekked the 25,000-mile Long March, they all proved this truth over and over again with facts and their own fate.

When the hands that are used to holding the embroidery needle and holding the cold knife and gun, they are not much worse than men.

Yes, their strength is a little smaller, and their bodies are a little thinner, but in a well-disciplined and well-trained army, their individual martial arts and combat power have been weakened to a considerable extent. In this way, the requirements for people's physical fitness are also much lower. Besides, these military families have been working underground since they were children, and they are all in good shape.

It's like a sneak attack on Jiannu the night before, if it was really a melee with those vests and infantry armor Aha and relying on personal bravery, the Anxiang Dundun army would have been killed a long time ago, and the distance between the two sides would have been shortened a lot.

"Alright, that's it." Dong Ce clapped his hands and said: "Since you have started training, you can be regarded as a member of the army, and you will not be paid silver, but on the officer's side, one person will be given five dollars of silver every month." ”

As soon as they heard this, everyone was smiling and their attitudes became enthusiastic.

Although Dong Ce, the captured Houjin's baggage, was not handed over by the eldest son, and all of them were privately divided, and each household shared a lot of money, but they were used to living a hard life, and they never regarded themselves as a rich man. To put it bluntly, it is the consciousness of small farmers, and all the money is hidden, and they are very happy to hear that they can get more money every month.

Since they all agree, things are easy to say, and the next step is to count the number of people.

In the end, it was counted that there were a total of eleven female dependents over the age of thirteen - so the number of people who were counted was exactly the same as the number of the Dun army.
