……………
This question is also a difficult question, and it trapped everyone for a while. Shao Yan frowned, tossed and turned for a moment before saying: "What the two adults said is true. From the surface, the second point mentioned by Miss Cao just now is
The plan, given our current situation, is indeed difficult to achieve. However, the most difficult thing in the world is to reach the sky. As the saying goes, nothing is difficult in the world, as long as there are people who are willing. I believe that as long as we use our brains a little, we can find a solution.
There will always be”
Everyone looked at each other in surprise. Mu Ying looked at Shao Yan curiously and said, "Did the Emperor think of some good idea?"
Shao Yan said with a smile: "I have just been thinking, since the maids in the palace can't be counted on, why don't we try to target the people? There is a saying that a lot of money must be brave, not to mention there are many hunters in this area
, are we still afraid that we won’t be able to form a women’s army?”
Everyone present nodded in agreement. Most of the residents in Badaling are hunters. They make a living by hunting all year round. Sometimes, in order to hunt a larger prey, the whole family will go out together. Therefore, in every hunter's home, regardless of whether
Men, women and children are all good at riding and shooting.
Shao Yan's meaning is very clear, that is, to find ways to recruit the daughters of the hunters, and then Bai Ruxue will teach them some swordsmanship and boxing skills. Compared with the palace maids who have never done heavy work, these girls have a very solid foundation.
, given time, each one of them will become vigorous and vigorous.
Just when everyone was full of praise for this suggestion, Cao Xuanjiao was a little unhappy. She thought about it and said worriedly: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly. If we can pick out a group of smart and capable girls this time, it will be great."
Best, but have you ever thought about it, the main task of these girls is to act as spies deep inside the enemy's palace, and their lives may be in danger anytime and anywhere. Who would be willing to send their daughter into a pit of fire?"
Shao Yan nodded calmly and thought to himself, what this girl said makes sense. For such a risky mission, not to mention the reluctance of parents like them, anyone with a little bit of conscience would not want to let a group of people do it.
A young girl in her prime would take such a big risk, but now this is the only way to get close to King Nile. Otherwise, the only way is to go head-on, but if this is the case, many innocent people will be affected.
Just when everyone was deep in thought, Li Changsheng waved his hands disapprovingly and said: "Miss Cao is worrying too much. Isn't it the king's land in the world? They are all subjects of the Donglin Kingdom. They should contribute to the court and serve the country."
They are loyal to the country. They sacrificed their family and took care of everyone. This is a very honorable thing. I don't think there is anything wrong with it. On the contrary, since we moved the capital here, we have never asked them for any taxes, so we rushed here.
I am afraid that few courts and kings have been able to do this throughout the ages, and now it is when the court needs their help, they should follow it unconditionally, otherwise they will be punished with a great crime of disrespect."
If it were another emperor, Li Changsheng's words would make sense. As the saying goes, "take from the people and use it for the people." The emperor governs the world and it is natural for the people to pay taxes according to the law, including in modern society.
Even if Shao Yan comes from a high civilization in the 21st century, he has to agree with this. Just because he first came here and the people here are living in poverty, he can't bear to tax them according to previous standards.
, it is precisely because of this that many civil and military ministers will inevitably complain in private, and Li Changsheng is just one of them.
"General Changsheng, do you mean that if they are unwilling to sacrifice their daughter, we will arrest them by force?" Mu Ying asked.
Li Changsheng said confidently: "What's wrong? The emperor's words are the imperial edict. Anyone who disobeys it will be rebelling against the edict."
Cao Xuanjiao hurriedly said: "Old general, the people think that if the emperor issues a decree, even if they get their support, it is only superficial. Deep down in their hearts, they will only hate the emperor for being a tyrant. On the contrary, if they try to fight with him
Use emotion and reason to fundamentally convince them. In this way, they will not only actively respond to the court's call, but also go all out to serve the court, even if they go through fire and water."
Shao Yan quite agrees with her point of view. Instead of forcing the people to rebel, it is better for everyone to sit down calmly and listen to the opinions of these hunters on the one hand, and explain the current situation to them in detail on the other. Although the hunters have not read anything
But most of them are good people. After they understand the stakes, they will definitely not object to this risky action.
However, Li Changsheng, who held different opinions, smiled disdainfully and said: "I don't dare to compliment Miss Cao's words. I think there is no need for us to waste words with some common people who are illiterate. They were born as Donglin
People should unconditionally obey the will of the imperial court, instead of letting the imperial court put down its power and beg for mercy."
"General Li, that's not what the people's daughter means, the people's daughter..."
Before Cao Xuanjiao finished speaking, his father Cao Kun spoke from the side: "General Li, look at what you said. Please forgive me for being ignorant. I would like to know what you mean by 'wagging your tail to beg for mercy'? Is it because of you?"
In your heart, our Donglin court is actually inferior to ordinary people?"
Li Changsheng glared at him angrily and said: "Mr. Cao, I am just discussing the matter. Please don't make trouble there. Why have I ever said such treacherous words?"
Cao Kun chuckled and said, "Yes, you didn't say that, but I can tell from your words that you think so."
"Cao Kun, you -" Li Changsheng couldn't get angry in front of the emperor, so he had to suppress the anger in his heart and said with a half-smile: "Master Cao's management is really lenient, but I still advise you not to spend any money."
So much thought has gone into it, you have this time, why not think of a way to capture the island?"
Cao Kun snorted coldly and did not answer his words. He said proudly in his heart, Li Changsheng, Li Changsheng, I only call you a general for the sake of the emperor. In fact, you are nothing but a strong body. You are a dignified military general.
I'm really ashamed of you for being helpless against a bunch of Nile thieves. What's ridiculous is that you still have the nerve to challenge me here. You really don't know what to say.
Seeing that these two guys had no good expressions, Shao Yan knew that they were secretly competing with each other, so he said expressionlessly: "You two are both civil and military ministers of the imperial court. I don't care what grudges you have had before, as long as you have me
One day, I will put all these rotten things aside. Soon, we will face a fierce battle. If you are still stubborn and continue to fight among yourself, it will not only be the common people who will suffer, but also you.
I can’t even save my two heads.”
The two of them glared at each other. Now that the emperor had put aside his cruel words, how dare they continue to make trouble, but they couldn't let go of each other, and no one was willing to take the lead and admit it.
Shao Yan didn't want to argue with them, so he followed up and said: "I hope you will all cheer me up. In the face of a powerful enemy, only by sharing the same hatred and facing the outside world can we establish ourselves in an invincible position. In other words,
It’s all off the table, do you understand?”
The two looked at each other and reluctantly bowed in unison: "I understand."
Shao Yan smiled slightly: "As long as you understand, then this matter is settled. If everyone has no objections, I will divide the specific tasks now." After that, he paused for a moment to give everyone a space to think.
Deng Bingtang, Cao Kun, Bai Ruxue and others all expressed their approval of this resolution. Although Cao Xuanjiao was a little undecided, in the end, the minority obeyed the majority.
A few days later, Shao Yan personally took charge of going out to find those hunters. Fortunately, he got along well with a highly respected old hunter among them. When he revealed his purpose, all the hunters were just shocked.
The old Orion was on the side to encourage them, so they were willing to send their daughters to the palace.
In the end, Shao Yan asked Bai Ruxue to select ten women with better looks, temperament, and physical strength to stay among the thirty women who came to report. Mu Ying uniformly distributed some silver coins to the others and sent them back to their homes.
As for the ten women who were left behind, Shao Yan appointed Bai Ruxue and Cao Xuanjiao to train them in various aspects. To this end, he also specially formulated a relatively complete schedule, with four training hours a day.
hours, equivalent to eight modern hours, with a class every two hours and a ten-minute break in between
In the morning, Cao Xuanjiao taught them literacy, calligraphy, etiquette, female celebrities, speech, behavior, etc. In the afternoon, Bai Ruxue arranged everything, from riding and shooting to sword and stick skills, to various physical training...
…
Unknowingly, a month has passed. For Shao Yan, these days are the most tiring and busiest period since he became emperor. In order to improve his various comprehensive skills, he hears chickens and dances every day. In addition to learning from Bai Ruxue
In addition to swordsmanship, he also had to be busy asking Cao Xuanjiao for advice on the art of war.
Not only that, every time after he went to court, he would personally go to inspect and supervise the training of the ten girls, as well as the progress of Chang Yixiao and Zhang Huaide's animal training.
…
A gust of autumn wind blows slowly from the dark night sky, bringing a strong chill to people in the late autumn night. When the lights of thousands of houses are extinguished, busy people can finally relax their irritable mood and quietly immerse themselves in the sweet music.
When I was sleeping, the entire palace was in a state of silence and peace.
Ever since ten women were recruited into the palace, Bai Ruxue has been staying with them inseparable. Shao Yan specially set aside the harem for them to live in. It is empty anyway.
That night, just as they were dragging their tired bodies, washing and preparing to go to sleep, they suddenly heard Mu Ying's loud voice outside: "The Emperor has arrived, everyone gathers!"
Some of the girls had just fallen asleep, some were still washing up, and the ones who moved a little faster were already lying on the bed. Bai Ruxue slept with her clothes on every day. After hearing this sound, she suddenly rolled up from the bed and picked up the sword.
He rushed out and saw Shao Yan and Mu Ying standing in the corridor outside the door.
Bai Ruxue was startled, then stepped forward and clasped her fists with her hands, saying: "Ruxue has seen the emperor."
"No gift!" Shao Yan said calmly
Bai Ruxue raised her head slightly, only to realize that the emperor in front of her was not wearing a dragon robe, but a suit of golden clothes and iron armor. He also held a five-foot long sword in his hand. He looked domineering. People who don't know must be sure
They would think they were here to ask questions.
Bai Ruxue didn't know what she meant, but didn't dare to ask any more questions. She could only secretly send a wink to Mu Ying next to Shao Yan. Mu Ying showed a smile on her lips, as if to comfort her not to be too nervous.
At this moment, ten girls rushed to the scene one after another. Shao Yan came here originally to test their reaction ability, but the scene in front of them was not optimistic. Although the ten girls came out, they
From beginning to end, no one made him satisfied. Either the hair was messy, or the clothes were disheveled, or the shoes were on backwards, or they were wearing the wrong clothes... In short, they were all ugly.
Shao Yan walked around in front of each of them, and then came to the front of the team. Without saying anything, he made a dismissal gesture. After almost all the women fell asleep, he asked Mu Ying to shout loudly again:
"The Emperor has a decree, everyone must gather together"
The ten women were so frightened that they woke up from their dreams, hurriedly put on their clothes and ran outside. Shao Yan saw that each of them looked sleepy, but their faces were uglier than the last. It was obvious that these girls were listless on the surface, but they were definitely inwardly.
It's a constant complaint
Shao Yan walked up to them and said loudly: "Do you know why I wake you up one after another in the middle of the night?"
"I don't know" all the girls shook their heads in unison.
"Everyone is very tired from training during the day. Logically speaking, I should let you have a good rest and shouldn't wake you up at this time." Shao Yan sighed calmly and said firmly: "However, this world is not as you imagined.
The world is so peaceful, emergencies may happen anytime and anywhere. Just like I asked Mu Ying to shout to you just now, what I saw was not a small team full of fighting power, but a group of ragtag people who were in chaos.
If it is not me who comes tonight, but a group of premeditated killers, then with your current state, I dare say that half of you will have fallen, and the other half will soon be killed.
"
As soon as these words came out, they immediately caused a dispute among the girls. As the leader, Bai Ruxue couldn't help but feel ashamed when she thought of the chaotic scene just now. She said to her heart that the emperor was right. It was all my fault for being too careless and not teaching them.
How to deal with emergencies
Shao Yan did not allow them to whisper to each other and picked up the conversation casually: "Some people may think that my requirements are a bit too harsh. Yes, I want not only a small team with both civil and military skills, but also the ability to respond to emergencies."
When an incident occurs, you can handle things calmly and remain calm in the face of danger. These things may seem ordinary, but they can kill you at critical moments. Since your parents and relatives have handed you over to me, I will be responsible for you.
It won't be long before you will go on a mission to the Nile Kingdom with the fleet. I hope you will be vigilant at all times. You are in a foreign place, and dangers are everywhere. You are the heroes among the women I have selected. I believe you can complete it.
Every task I give you, but the premise is that you must come back alive for me, do you remember them all?"
"Remember" the girls yawned and said listlessly.
Shao Yan was furious: "You haven't eaten, I can't hear you."
"Remember"
“The voice is still small”
"Remember"
"I still didn't hear it"
"Remember, remember, remember," the women shouted at the top of their lungs.
Shao Yan just nodded with satisfaction: "The voice sounds a bit like that. I hope it will continue to be true in the future. You were formed by me. No matter where you go in the future, you will represent me, the face of the royal family, and the face of the royal family."
With thousands of Donglin people"
After such a torment, the girls' spirits suddenly rose up. They opened their eyes and listened carefully to Shao Yan's lessons.
Shao Yan paused, waved his hand and said: "Everyone is tired, go back to sleep, don't forget what I said."
"yes"
This time the sound was so loud that even the people outside the palace could hear it
After the girls left, Bai Ruxue came to Shao Yan with a shy face. She opened her mouth and swallowed the words. Shao Yan seemed to be able to see through her thoughts, and then he chuckled and said, "Teacher Bai, yes."
