Even if Gu Yu was sober and self-aware, it would still be difficult to resist.
The more they objected, the colder Gu Yu's heart became. Even if the old, weak, sick, disabled, and gangster prisoners were able to go to the battlefield, these women had already been labeled.
Said they were useless, said they were weak and incompetent, said they were so timid that they would pee their pants when they saw swords, said they were only worthy of hiding behind men and trembling.
There was a fire gathering in Gu Yu's heart, but she couldn't let it out openly.
The people sitting here are all men, and no one can put themselves in the shoes of women.
They will only use joking or sanctimonious language to cover up their contempt for women.
In the end, even if Gu Yu didn't refute, they still didn't stop labeling women as "inferior to men" and "weak as men".
Gu Yu closed her eyes and planned to end this meaningless topic.
The strength of one person is not enough, and she is naive again.
He actually wanted to make these men change their deep-rooted thoughts with just a few words.
"Have you said enough?" Junze said suddenly.
Gu Yu opened her eyes and saw him putting the knife on the table with a cold face.
After a "pop" sound, the harsh and noisy discussion stopped abruptly.
Junze said: "When you have said enough, go and issue notices. No matter whether they are men or women, traffickers and lackeys, or matchmakers and peasant women, I do not ask them to take up arms and fight the enemy with real swords and spears."
But as long as they can climb the city wall when the enemy attacks, rescue the wounded, and transport supplies, as long as they can do it and dare to do it, I will give them or them the rank and title, and ensure that their families have enough food and clothing.
"
Someone wanted to say something, but Junze glanced at him casually, and the person immediately shut his mouth.
Gu Yu raised her head and glanced at him, and Junze happened to look at her too.
He raised his eyebrows, and his cold eyes towards others suddenly changed, and the corners of his mouth were slightly curved, looking a little proud.
As if to say: "Look, you have to rely on me at the critical moment."
Gu Yu smiled back and sat next to him, feeling a little warm in his heart.
Thank him for speaking up for me, thank him for not looking down on women like others.
At the same time, I also saw clearly the gap between myself and him.
It's not that a person's strength is weak, it's that her strength is weak.
The group of civil servants and generals in front of her kept calling her "Prince Gu, Imperial Envoy Gu", but once their sensitive points were touched, they lost all respect.
Power, what she lacks is power.
They are not empty names like Gu Qinchai and Gu Shizi.
She wants to be like Junze, who can have shocking power and status at critical moments.
Let others no longer despise everything she said, even if it is "shocking" or "nonsense", they must bite the bullet and carry it out.
With Junze's words, Magistrate Su quickly wrote out the notice.
It was posted on notice boards all over the county, causing a wave of agitation.
Outside the county government office, men and women gathered around and pointed at the notices.
"Let a woman fight, it's ridiculous."
"Is there no one available in Tongning County?"
"Let a woman hang out with a group of men, which is harmful to morals."
"If my daughters-in-law dare to go, I will break their legs."
"A woman's hands are born to embroider, so how can she help the gentlemen?"
"Women are not completely useless. I thought of a wonderful use, hehehe."
"What a wonderful thing, tell me quickly."
"Let the woman serve Master Bing, hehehe."
"If this is really the case, I will also sign up to join the army. How do you say that, if you die under the peonies, you will be a good ghost, and you will let me, old Yang, have sex."
"Lao Yang, you shameless old bachelor, you are planning on doing this."
"..."
Gu Yu stood in the crowd, listening to these filthy words, and clenched the sword in his hand.
From the corner of my eye, I saw a woman pulling someone by and asking, "I'm illiterate. Does the notice really say that as long as you go to the city wall to help, you can get ten taels of silver?"
This woman looked to be in her thirties or forties, with a broad back and a weathered face. She looked like someone who had worked hard all year round.
Gu Yu squeezed through the crowd and said: "It's true. Not only will you receive ten taels of silver, but you will also receive a reward if you perform well. If you perform great service, you can even be granted an imperial edict as an exception."
The woman swallowed her saliva and looked very nervous: "How can you be granted a royal title without a man? Young Master, are you kidding me?"
Gu Yu pointed to the seal on the notice and said: "This notice is stamped with the official seal of the Imperial Envoy. It is absolutely true."
The woman's breathing was rapid, and she grabbed the corner of her clothes, eager to try.
A butcher next to her stopped her words and said: "Widow Lin, you don't want to join the army, do you? Your husband has been dead for so many years, and you finally can't help but want to serve men in the army?"
It caused a group of people to laugh.
The idea that Widow Lin had just ignited was instantly destroyed. She was immediately embarrassed and angry, and she stumbled and said: "I don't, no, I'm just curious and asking."
As she spoke, her head lowered lower and lower.
Gu Yu narrowed his eyes and stared at the butcher with an evil look.
A scholar said: "Why are you teasing her like this? Sister-in-law Lin has been a widow for many years. She lives with her parents-in-law and three children at home. Life is not easy. Even if she wants to join the army and get some reward money to make a living, there is nothing wrong with her."
The butcher was refuted by the scholar, and he immediately cursed: "Why, you feel sorry for her, why don't you marry her home and love her well? Why are you pretending to be a good person here?"
The scholar's face turned red with anger and said: "You are an insult to gentlemen."
The butcher continued: "I am disgraceful to elegance? You, a scholar, get mixed up with a widow, what kind of nonsense is it to disgrace elegance?"
The scholar was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves and beat the butcher.
Widow Lin was caught in the middle and said hurriedly: "Zhang Xiucai, don't say goodbye. You are going to get a good name in the future. Don't get a bad reputation because of me. Let's go quickly. Let's go quickly."
The butcher refused to let Zhang Xiucai leave. He lifted up his clothes, revealing the muscles on his upper body that had been strengthened by years of butchering pigs. He stood in front of Zhang Xiucai and said, "I want to leave after scolding you. It's not that easy."
"
Gu Yu lit a fire in his chest, clenched his fists loudly, and said to the butcher in a deep voice: "You are strong and strong, but you don't want to serve the motherland, but instead you abuse women and humiliate scholars. What's the point?"
The butcher looked at Gu Yu, laughed shamelessly, and said: "Haha, Widow Lin, you are very lucky. Just after Zhang Xiucai finished speaking for you, you attracted another pretty boy."
Gu Yu was furious, and just as he was about to draw his sword and point it at the butcher, he was held down by a hand.
Gu Yu looked up and saw Jun Ze's face was very stern. He lowered his head and looked at Gu Yu and said, "I'm just an incompetent rat. Don't dirty your sword."
After saying that, he kicked the butcher.
The butcher's strong body was knocked to the ground by the kick, and he slid for four or five meters before stopping, screaming in pain.
Junze walked over step by step, and the butcher pointed at him and said, "You dare to commit murder in front of the county government office in front of the public. I will sue the official."
Junze stepped on his squealing mouth and crushed it with the sole of his shoe. He sneered and said, "Reporter, oh, envoy Gu, what crime should he be punished for picking quarrels and causing trouble in public?"
