The strong girl lifted the stone with ease, almost without any effort.
He was even stronger than some of the male recruits, which caused a stir among the onlookers.
Such talent is rare.
Under Qiao Lian'er's admiring gaze, the girl looked proud.
“Princess, I can carry four buckets of water at the same time, two on my shoulders, two in my hands, two bundles of firewood, and a large basket on my back. Everyone says that if I marry into your family, it will be like your family has two wives, but I would rather dedicate my strength to the Great Swamp Kingdom.”
Everyone burst into laughter.
Normally, the maids wouldn't say these things; they're always well-behaved and self-disciplined. But in such situations, they seem to have a greater sense of responsibility, and their minds become much more open.
Qiao Lian'er said, "Since you have such strength, I certainly won't waste it. After training you for a while, I'll make you a junior battalion commander, and double your monthly salary."
"Register it."
Everyone exclaimed in surprise, "It's good to be capable; he's already been pre-selected as the junior battalion commander."
This girl's name is Liu Chengyu, she is seventeen years old, and she comes from Liujia Village, which is ten miles away from here.
Seeing this situation, many parents are tempted to send their daughters to the military camp; it wouldn't be a bad thing.
Over the next two days, the cavalry spread the word far and wide, and the people of the fiefdom all knew that the Qingfeng Plain garrison was recruiting a thousand female soldiers. In addition to the same treatment as the male soldiers, they would also receive an extra monthly allowance for their menstrual period, and they could take leave for the first two days of their period.
Some people couldn't accept it at first, thinking that women should stay at home to be good wives and mothers, and that fighting and killing was unacceptable. But once the winds of enlightenment blow, they don't stop or dissipate. Those with broad vision have influenced others with their words, and many people's thoughts have been cleansed.
Furthermore, the owner of the fiefdom was Princess Feiluan, which set an example and role model for women.
Parents kept bringing their daughters to the garrison, choosing only the strongest and tallest girls in their families.
Since it is to serve the country, one must be physically fit to maximize one's effectiveness.
In just half a month, they recruited over 800 female soldiers.
As for the male soldiers, they were all recruited long ago, and they started recruit training five days ago.
The group with the best physical fitness were assigned to Qiao Lian'er's command.
The 1,000 female soldiers are an extra addition to the 30,000 recruits. If the quota is filled, she will have 11,000 troops under her command, including 4,000 veterans, 6,000 new recruits, 1,000 female soldiers, and the remaining 20,000 troops. Each of the four men in the Qiao family will command 5,000 troops.
With over a hundred vacancies remaining, Qiao Lian'er decided not to wait any longer and began training. He would then register any qualified applicants for enlistment.
Receiving the same monthly salary and shouldering the same responsibilities, female soldiers train together with male soldiers, endure the same hardships, and face the same challenges.
When training began, the male soldiers were somewhat skeptical, since women's physical abilities, unless they were exceptionally gifted, were generally inferior to those of normal men—a natural difference.
"I heard that they train from morning till night every day, and have to carry heavy loads to run up and down the mountain, sometimes even hiking dozens of miles. How can they endure such hardship? They can only last for an hour at most."
