Chapter 404: When the lips and teeth are gone, there is no distinction between men and women

But when she thought about the upcoming war and whether General Tang would be able to come back alive, her expression became solemn.

"Now is not the time to talk about this."

"We still have to do the recruitment first."

Hui Niang sat in the shop, looking at the recruitment stall from a distance.

As soon as the news of recruiting female soldiers was released, it

immediately attracted a lot of onlookers. Many people came to inquire after seeing the news.

Several women were interested.

"Really? Women also join the army?"

The salary for joining the army was so high that they were also very tempted.

Now that they heard that women could also join the army, many women stood up.

Seeing that the Shunyi Army really accepted women, some onlookers couldn't help shaking their heads.

"Nonsense, there has been no reason for women to join the army since ancient times."

"If women join the army, won't it ruin the feng shui?"

"If women join the army, they will definitely fail. I think the Shunyi Army will definitely lose this time."

Some people who originally wanted to sign up hesitated after hearing such words.

"Nonsense, even if the Shunyi Army loses, it will definitely not be because of the women joining the army."

Hui Niang stood up and said loudly: "Now Dayun has sent out 800,000 soldiers, and we only have 400,000."

"Our generals are all extremely powerful and good generals, and our soldiers are also brave and courageous good soldiers. If we lose, it can only be because we don't have enough people, and it is definitely not because of the women joining the army."

"If the Shunyi Army loses, the people of Jinyang Pass will not have an easy time. Without the Shunyi Army, the jobs and houses you have now will be taken back by Dayun."

"You should not have forgotten the days of hunger, freezing, and bullying?"

Hui Niang's words were like a thorn, piercing deep into their hearts.

During this period, they lived such a carefree life that they almost forgot what kind of life they lived before.

Now, after hearing Hui Niang's words, they remembered that time.

When Dayun was in charge of Jinyang Pass, the people of Jinyang Pass suffered terribly, and many people died of starvation because of lack of food.

They could not even fill their own stomachs, but they had to tighten their belts and pay taxes to Dayun.

"Madam Yu, I don't know any martial arts, but I have been helping my family with housework since I was a child, and I have a lot of strength. Can I join the army?"

A dark and thin girl stood up.

She was not tall, her skin was very dark, and she had an old hairpin on her hands, but her eyes were shining.

"I can't make a penny at home, and I'm scolded and beaten by my parents every day. Maybe one day I'll be beaten to death. It's better to join the army and do something great and write about it in the books."

Hui Niang looked at the girl carefully and found that her clothes were worn out, and scars could be seen faintly under the worn clothes.

These scars were all over her body, which was shocking.

"As long as you want to join the army, we will not refuse anyone."

The girl was afraid that Hui Niang would regret it, so she quickly signed the document to join the army.

Another girl also stood up and said, "I want to join the army, too. My sisters were all sold, and one day I will be sold too. Rather than being sold, I might as well join the army, and it will be considered as a way to plan my life." If

she was sold, she could only get a few taels of silver, but if she joined the army, she would get a full ten taels of silver.

With these ten taels of silver, her family would definitely not interfere with her joining the army.

She could also live a happy life for herself.

Even if it was only for a few days.

Even if she died on the battlefield, it was better than being sold like a commodity.

She signed the document to join the army without hesitation, and shed tears while holding the document.

"From now on, I don't have to worry about being sold anymore, I'm Dashun's person."

Many girls were deeply moved and joined the army.

In a small market, thousands of women signed up to join the army.

In just one day, the entire Jinyang Pass recruited nearly 100,000 people.

100,000 people.

At this critical moment, it is not a small number.

And this phenomenon did not stop, more and more women came to join the army.

Some of them were unmarried girls, some were widows whose husbands died after they got married, some were wives who were abused and desperate at home, and some were good girls who thought they had some abilities and had great ambitions.

When the all-female army appeared outside the military camp, everyone was stunned.

"So many women!"

"Dayun's soldiers are setting up camp not far away. Don't they know that if they join the army now, they will die?"

"This is crazy. This world is really crazy. Are all the men dead? Why do they have to send a group of women to die?"

The soldiers looked at these women and couldn't help muttering to themselves.

Tang Shi said, "The affairs of the world are the affairs of the people of the world, regardless of men and women. What about men? What about women?"

"Although time is tight, we should seize the time to train from now on. It is not completely hopeless."

"General Tang, you say this lightly. It will take us several months to train the soldiers. Even if we teach them some practical moves and formations, it will take at least a month."

"Can a group of delicate and weak women like them endure such suffering?"

"Besides, we are all masters with rough hands and feet, and we don't know how to control our actions. Who can teach them?

Everyone avoided this group of female soldiers.

Li Yunfeng, who brought the female soldiers, smiled and said, "Don't worry, generals. I have already made an agreement with Madam Yu. I will teach these female soldiers."

Tang Shi said loudly, "Count me in."

Tang Shi looks like a handsome young man. Even wearing armor, he can't hide his noble temperament.

At this moment, he stood firmly beside the girls, which made many girls' eyes moisten.

Seeing this, Song Ci hurriedly stood beside Tang Shi.

"Like the general, I am willing to support the girls. Although I don't know how to deploy troops or train soldiers, I can improve the crossbows for the girls so that they can easily kill the enemy even from a distance."

Many soldiers have seen his crossbows.

Light, small, and hidden in the sleeves, it doesn't look out of place, but it has great killing power and can easily kill the enemy from fifty meters away.

Such a small and light crossbow can have such a long range and such a strong killing power, which is already very powerful.

If the women can use such crossbows well, it can make up for their lack of military strength.

With Song Ci's willingness to improve the crossbows for the women, the survival rate of the women became higher.

He was an impatient man, and he began to improve the crossbows according to the heights of different women.

The girls were very curious when they got the crossbows.
