Chapter 26
: Being intercepted in Hebei
As soon as Shen Yinxing said this, everyone looked at her in disbelief.
"Uncle Five, please take care of Aunt Five. Don't let her act recklessly. We all know that she is very skilled in martial arts, but marching and fighting is different from dealing with a few horse bandits. Besides, how can this woman join the army?" The rest of the Xu family quickly dissuaded Xu Jingyang. Take care of his wife.
Xu Jingyang recalled the scene when Shen Yinxing chased him and beat him up last time, and shrank his head: "Hey! You can take care of it, but I won't."
When Fang Qishan heard that Shen Yinxing was also going to join the army, he immediately felt that the woman was playing nonsense and angrily shouted: "Nonsense, how can a woman join the army!"
"Why can't women join the army?" Shen Yinxing couldn't bear to hear such words and started to choke with Fang Qishan.
"What? Do you want to stab the Qiang to death with an embroidery needle?" As soon as Fang Qishan finished speaking, the soldiers around him burst into laughter. The woman also wanted to join the army. It was really laughable. This has never happened since ancient times. What kind of thing.
In the era that Shen Yinxing lived in in his previous life, not only were men and women equal, but their physical qualities were also almost the same. Women could do anything a man could do, or even do it better.
In ancient times, the constraints and malice towards women were too great. Women could not take part in the imperial examinations, serve as officials, or even travel freely. It was even less possible for women to join the army.
Shen Yinxing's thoughts and cognition are far different from those of these ancient people in her eyes. It can be said that they are even incompatible with each other. Only Wu Yue, who is from a similar era, can understand her somewhat.
A soldier with a wretched face glanced at Shen Yinxing with evil intentions, and then shouted loudly: "We are short of women in the military camp. Do you want to come to the military camp to serve us?"
After the soldier finished speaking, there was another burst of laughter around him: "Hahaha, yes, yes, we kill the enemy in front of the formation, and you kill the enemy in bed, hahahaha."
These obscene words in his ears made Shen Yinxing's face look even uglier, and the chill in his eyes became a bit colder.
Longyue couldn't bear to hear that her mother was being insulted. She rolled up her sleeves and put on a scolding posture, and then said in a sweet voice: "What? Look down on women? Without your mother to give birth to you, you still don't know what kind of pig you would be reincarnated into." What a circle! You stinky bitches bark louder than anyone else, but you may not be able to survive three moves in the hands of my grandma. If you have the guts to compete with my grandma, if you lose, you can bark around this camp. "Climb around in circles."
When all the soldiers heard this, they said, "Hey, this little girl is really arrogant. She doesn't know how high the world is."
In fact, Wuyue relied on Shen Yinxing's high strength value, so he pretended to be powerful on one side.
After all, they have been bullied to their core, so instead of trying to argue with each other, let’s open the eyes of these people today and let them know what it means that women can hold up half the sky.
"Bah, we can't afford to lose face if we compete with women." A soldier spat on the ground.
"Bah, you only know how to bark, and you don't even dare to compete with my mother-in-law." Haoyue also spat on the ground.
Tsk, isn’t it just spitting? Who can’t do that?
"Okay, okay, don't cause trouble. What's the etiquette of arguing with a little kid?" Fang Qishan scolded his subordinates. He had no interest in wasting time and nonsense, and he didn't want to waste time on meaningless things.
In his view, it is simply impossible for a woman to join the army. Even if a woman has great abilities, she will not be allowed to fight in battle, because since ancient times, women have been regarded as unlucky in battle. If anyone dares to go to any military camp, If you plug women, I'm afraid all the soldiers will simply give up their jobs.
"It is unlucky for women to be in battle, and they have been prohibited from entering or leaving the military camp since ancient times." After saying these words, Fang Qishan turned his horse and left without even looking at Shen Yinxing.
After hearing this, Shen Yinxing sighed. Ancient people believed in superstition and the rule prohibiting women from entering military camps was unbreakable, so her dream of joining the army was probably about to be shattered.
If you say that women are not strong enough to join the army, then I can beat everyone down to prove myself. But if you say that women are considered unlucky, then who am I to argue with you? How do you want me to prove myself?
Shen Yinxing was a little frustrated at the moment.
Of course, it would be a long time before the reputation of the Xu family's female generals became famous throughout the world, but that was all a story for another day.
"Forget it, forget it, stop being angry, you are just watching the fun and don't mind it." Xu Jingyang slapped Longyue's little butt, and then took a white-flour steamed bun from the sack to her.
"Huh! They look down on my mother-in-law, so I'm going to scold them!" Haoyue pouted her little mouth and muttered, then took a hard bite of the steamed bun.
After this farce, the Xu family also packed up their things and followed Fang Qishan's team to Hebei.
Of course, every household also had a male enlisted in the army, and Haoyue's brother was stupid, so the burden of enlisting fell on Xu Jingyang.
Since Xu Jingyang was a carpenter and could make some bows and arrows, he was assigned as a smelting soldier who did not have to go to the battlefield. He usually did some rough work such as transportation, cooking, and casting.
The place where they are now is only three or four days away from Hebei, and there is a wide Ganjiang River in between.
King Yuan relied on the natural chasm of Ganjiang River to dare to challenge Daqing.
Fang Qishan gathered about 100,000 more soldiers and horses along the way. These people were all victims of the disaster in northern Henan and central Henan. Of course, the soldiers and horses went ahead without using food and grass. Behind these 100,000 strong men were about 300,000 family members. .
When they arrived at the border of Hebei, the young men who joined the army were sent to the new military camps for training, while their families worked on the allocated land, weaving and farming.
The northern Henan region experienced a severe drought, but Daqing ignored it. Then it was tortured by the Qiang people. The people were displaced, and the farmland was ruined and barren. However, it was said that bones were exposed everywhere, and roosters could not be heard for thousands of miles.
King Yuan of Hebei recruited refugees and distributed land to them for farming, so that they would no longer suffer from hunger, cold, and displacement.
After King Yuan's operation, his reputation among the people was at its peak, and people's respect and love for him could be said to have reached the extreme.
Three days later, the army of refugees who followed Fang Qishan back to Hebei arrived at the edge of the Gan River.
Many ships have been waiting on the Ganjiang River for a long time. Flags with the name "Yuan" are fluttering in the river wind. From a distance, they look majestic and powerful like a rainbow.
The 100,000 men brought back by Fang Qishan made King Yuan even more powerful than a tiger.
"Dad, do you think there is a way to survive if we follow King Yuan in rebellion?" Wu Yue was carried onto the deck by Xu Jingyang, and she looked up at the majestic Yuan Jiaqi and asked.
"Well, whether he has a way to survive or not, let's fill his stomach first and then talk about it." Xu Jingyang secretly whispered to Wuyue.
Alas, Longyue sighed. She originally wanted to go north to Inner Mongolia to farm on the grasslands, but she was cut off halfway to Hebei, and she had to rebel while farming.
The people in these troubled times are helpless, like drifting duckweeds, they can only rise and fall with the tide of the times.
