Chapter 137: Male or Female
The person next to him laughed and reminded him in a low voice, "President, the leaders of the National Salvation Army are all women."
Yuan Datou snorted, "How can they be the same? They came back from overseas and are educated in foreign cultures.
Those who studied abroad have forgotten the rules passed down by their ancestors, and no longer observe the three obediences and four virtues, and don't marry and have children properly, and now they are starting a revolution?
Humph, I think they are just like grasshoppers in autumn, jumping around aimlessly, and they won’t be able to jump for many days.
Declare war on all countries? These women are really crazy. We don't have to do anything, the coalition forces of all countries will take action.
Let them recruit, I want to see what kind of people they can recruit!"
Almost at the same time, the same newspaper was delivered to the dining table of the Fengtian Marshal's Mansion.
Zhang Hanqing held the bun in one hand and touched the newspaper with the other. He glanced over and was suddenly stunned: "Dad, the National Salvation Army is recruiting soldiers."
Lao Zhang didn't take it seriously. "Their territory faces the sea on one side and is surrounded on three sides. There are enemies everywhere. If I were them, I would also be rushing to recruit soldiers. But the damn girl was very quick, much faster than I thought."
Zhang Hanqing added: "Dad, their monthly military pay is twenty dollars."
Lao Zhang was stunned for a moment, "Where do they get so much money? Can they survive this month and not the next? That's not good."
Lao Zhang sighed. With his keen sense of smell, he had already smelled the danger.
From the conversation between him and Luo Jiu last night, he felt that the other party was a smart person and was good to his subordinates.
When it comes to commanding his subordinates, Lao Zhang is an expert. He values his subordinates, which is why so many of them follow him wholeheartedly and work hard for him.
I didn't expect that Luo Jiu, a little girl, also knew how to win people's hearts.
If she was just a reckless woman who valued love and friendship, Lao Zhang would only treat her as a bandit. Even though she had people following her, the number of people was limited and she would not be able to accomplish anything great.
But she still has money. As the saying goes, money makes the world go round and a big reward always brings out the brave man.
The sudden rise of the National Salvation Army this time may make it a formidable enemy.
Old Zhang was deep in thought when he suddenly saw his son holding up a newspaper in astonishment and pointing at the bold words on it to show him.
Old Zhang spent two years in private school carelessly, and could barely recognize a few characters. He squinted his eyes and read, "No...no, what? Little brat, are you testing your father?"
Zhang Hanqing hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter whether you are male or female. Women can also join the National Salvation Army!"
Lao Zhang scratched his head vigorously. "Isn't this just nonsense? What on earth do they want to do? Are these crazy women really crazy?"
Just when all parties were confused by this newspaper, a horse-drawn carriage loaded with a bag of rice, a torn quilt, and a torn bundle pressing down the newspaper set off towards Hongdao without looking back.
The driver was an old man in his forties named Wang. He shouted as he walked along, "Let's go to Hongdao and join the National Salvation Army. Anyone who wants to walk can get on the bus!"
Two young students jumped onto the carriage holding newspapers. They took out paper and pen and wrote a sign that read: Go to Hongdao and join the National Salvation Army!
The carriage went from the small village to the county town, and when it passed through the downtown area, it was blocked by a wedding procession.
The bride in the sedan looked unhappy. She held a pair of sharp scissors in her hand and had a look of sorrow on her face.
Just as she was about to stab herself with the scissors, she suddenly heard the newsboy outside shouting, "The National Salvation Army is recruiting soldiers from all over the country, twenty dollars a month, no restrictions on men or women!"
Her eyelashes trembled, and she immediately put away the scissors and shouted, "Stop the sedan! Stop it immediately!"
The sedan bearer stopped for no apparent reason, and the bride ran out quickly, lifted her veil, and called to the newsboy, "I want to buy a newspaper!"
Everyone looked at each other and said, "Is this bride not in a good mind? Why is she buying a newspaper at this time?"
The matchmaker also hurriedly advised, "Don't delay the auspicious time, get on the sedan quickly."
The groom riding a horse in front impatiently got off his horse. Only then did the onlookers realize that he was a cripple and looked to be in his forties or fifties.
If you don’t know, you would think he is the little girl’s father.
Her "father" frowned, bared his big yellow teeth and made a clicking sound, cursing: "You rude thing, you dare to act so arrogant before you even get married, and you lifted your veil yourself, do you still want to enter our Han family?"
The bride gritted her teeth and made up her mind, "No! I want to join the army, you can marry whoever you want."
She glanced at the crowd and ran away.
Her "father" was so angry that he yelled, "Bring her back to me. I must have her today!"
The entourage rushed out, and Old Man Wang exchanged a glance with the two students in the car. He quickly drove after them, shouting, "We are going to Hongdao to join the National Salvation Army. Get in the car and we're leaving!"
The bride pushed away the clinging matchmaker, ran a few steps and jumped into the car.
Her "father" and his men were limping after her, desperately shouting, "You stinky bitch, come back here! If I catch you, I'll beat you to death!"
The bride was sitting in the carriage and yelling, "You stinky, old cripple, I'm going to join the army! Don't let me see you again. If I see you next time, I'll shoot you!"
At this time, the National Salvation Army staff officer hurried into the operations room and said, "Commanders, please go out and take a look. The city gate is bustling with activity!"
Luo Jiu and the others looked at each other, hurriedly put on their military caps, and hurried to the city gate. The four of them stood on the city wall, and saw a black mass below, all of which were human heads.
In just one morning, a long line had formed at the conscription registration office at the gate of Hongdao City.
There were men, women, young and old, even children of a few years old.
Luo Jiu patted the child's head and said, "Kid, how old are you?"
"Eight."
"What are you doing here?"
"I'll fight the foreign devils with you."
Luo Jiu smiled and said, "We require you to be at least 18 years old. Come back when you are taller than the gun."
She took out a silver dollar from her pocket and said, "Use it to buy food and eat well. When you grow tall and strong, I will definitely let you join the army."
There were also quite a few women in the team, and men and women standing together soon caused an accident.
A ruffian-looking guy looked up and down at the female students in front of him and said, "Hey, can you hold a gun? Then come and join the army."
The female student in front of him looked back at his skinny figure and said coldly, "If you can lift it, we can lift it too."
"Hehe, it's fun. She's fair and tender, and she speaks quite vigorously." The ruffian smiled evilly, "Are you dating someone? If you join the army, you have to sleep with a man. Are you afraid?"
"You're talking nonsense!" Several female students said angrily, "Speak with more respect. We are here to fight, not to be teased by you."
The ruffian laughed loudly, "Little sister, you are so naive when you study. Think about it, which army recruits women?
Why would women fight? You must be recruited to reward us men.
The strength you have is barely enough to tickle an itch. Let me see your small hands. How can you shoot a gun? Haha..."
Before his treacherous laughter had ended, he was suddenly kicked hard from behind. He flew three or four meters away and fell heavily on the ground.
He spat out two mouthfuls of dirt and cursed: "Fuck your ancestors, which bastard plotted against me?"
