(Thanks to reader 20181124230442087 for voting with one monthly ticket.)
Li Shiyue stood atop a tall watchtower not far from Jian'an Port, coldly watching the refugees disembarking from the "Breaking Waves No. 1".
Sun Xiaoliu stood beside her, looking slightly worried: "General, is this order... too much?"
This could incite discontent among the male migrants and lead to trouble.
Li Shiyue's gaze was deep and unfathomable; she did not turn around.
She simply looked at the refugees who had traveled for five days by sea and carefully sailed along the coast to Jian'an, and let out a soft "heh".
Then, she explained to Sun Xiaoliu, "In chaotic times, women and children are the weakest and most easily abandoned."
I want to tell everyone that under my rule, Li Shiyue, women are no longer a burden, but are useful and are the reason why men can live!
Women could secure their survival, so their status was naturally different.
As for those disgruntled men... the work of the Labour Department will wear down their resentment.
What I need is for them to obey orders, either to come and work the land for me, or to join the army and fight alongside me!
This general doesn't want a bunch of filthy gluttons who only know how to eat and drink!
She paused, then her tone became even more resolute: "Sixth Brother, in these extraordinary times, extraordinary measures must be taken."
What I need is a force that can grow rapidly and be as responsive as an extension of my own arm.
Women are often thoughtful and patient, but when pushed to the brink, the ruthlessness and loyalty they unleash can be beyond imagination.
I gave them a way out.
They will be the most unexpected blade in my hand!
The fleet, laden with hope and complex human emotions, sailed toward Jian'an every two weeks.
Each batch of migrants arriving undergoes strict cleaning, quarantine, and triage.
After selection, most of the able-bodied men were added to the army and the city-building teams.
Skilled artisans were sent to the workshops.
The remaining men were also dispersed and sent to various places in Jian'an to work.
Under Li Shiyue's planning, the female soldiers' camp outside Jian'an City, next to the Zhenhai Army camp, rapidly grew in size.
All eligible women, except for elderly women who are too old, women who have children under three years old to support, or women who are disabled, must enter the women's military camp for training.
These women and children were gathered together and housed in wooden houses that had been built outside Jian'an City.
Those women who entered the women's military camp did not actually become female soldiers just because they entered the camp.
Instead, they let these women learn some basic self-defense techniques in the women's military camp first;
Ten days later, women with suitable physiques will be selected and trained as female soldiers.
The training that the selected women underwent left everyone speechless.
The head instructor of the women's camp was Li Qiutian, Li Shiyue's older sister.
The other instructors were female soldiers who had been personally trained by Li Shiyue in the first batch last year, including Ding Haisheng.
The first lesson the female soldiers were taught was how to kill.
More accurately, it taught them how to kill men.
The training ground in June was scorching hot.
Hundreds of selected, relatively strong women lined up and sat on the ground, looking up at the stern-faced female instructor standing in front of them.
The female instructor, Ding Haisheng, held a wooden stick in her hand and pointed to a simple anatomical diagram of the human body hanging behind her, highlighting the male lower body.
"Look carefully!"
This is the most vulnerable part of a man's body, the place that hurts the most when hit!
Ding Haisheng's voice was devoid of any warmth, "On the battlefield, your strength may not be as great as that of men;
But if you're fast enough, ruthless enough, and accurate enough, and willing to go all out, just one strike can render them incapable of resistance!
Ding Haisheng picked up a specially made short blade with a hook: "This is called the 'Childlessness Blade'!"
The key to this action can be summed up in just three words: fast, accurate, and ruthless!
"Groin! Cripple his testicles! Then, while he's bent over in agony..."
Ding Haisheng suddenly made an upward chopping motion, "Jump up! If you're strong enough, chop off their head. If you're not strong enough, slit their throats or stab their chests!"
The women sitting on the ground turned pale and their eyes were filled with fear as they listened to Ding Haisheng's words.
But some had eyes that gleamed with hatred and excitement.
Many of them had witnessed or even personally experienced atrocities during their escape, and their fear and hatred of men had long been buried deep in their hearts.
"Does anyone find this cruel?"
Ding Haisheng sneered, "Think about the grain that was stolen from you on the way!"
Think of your sisters who have been bullied!
Think of those men who buy, sell, and discard you like livestock!
Now that you've joined the army, you're going to the battlefield!
When the time comes, you will be facing men, and they will be your enemies!
From now on, whether you follow the general to kill bandits or to suppress thieves, being merciful to the enemy is being cruel to yourself!
General Li gave you a way to survive, kept you alive, and taught you skills, not so that you could continue to be lambs to the slaughter!
We want you to turn into wolves!
Become a wolf that can protect itself and tear apart its enemies!
"Now, pair up and practice the key points of the movements! Remember this feeling!"
A suppressed shout and the sound of wooden sticks clashing soon rose from the training ground.
From initial awkwardness and clumsiness to gradual proficiency, and even a touch of ruthlessness.
A new, blood-stained power is being nurtured within these once-delicate women.
Li Shiyue would often come to the training ground of the female soldiers' camp to inspect the troops.
For those outstanding students who learn extremely quickly and whose eyes reveal a fearless spirit, she will have the instructors make a note of them.
These people will be selected into the "Rui Shi" team in the future, and will have the opportunity to come into contact with the "Xuan Yin Body Forging Technique" that Li Shiyue obtained from the cultivation world, and will be trained into more outstanding female warriors!
Li Shiyue did not give up on women who were physically weaker or had a gentler personality.
She instructed Jin Daping, Yangzai, and Yueniang to select individuals from among them to join the emergency medical training team, where they would learn battlefield first aid, bandaging, and herbal identification.
Women who lacked talent in this area were assigned to the logistics battalion as auxiliary soldiers in the women's battalion, doing whatever tasks they could manage.
Li Shiyue's standard is simple yet cruel: every person, regardless of gender, must have value in order to survive in this chaotic world.
Women in chaotic times, especially those who want to escape their subordinate status, either become warriors or become the ones who support those warriors.
Jian'an, a border town northeast of Andong, was transformed into a highly efficient and ruthless machine under Li Shiyue's almost ruthless methods, frantically absorbing refugees and converting them into war potential.
Especially that special force that gradually took shape, composed of women, who were silent and patient, yet accumulated a deep-seated hatred and explosive power for the cruel rules of this world during their training.
Li Shiyue stood atop the city wall of Jian'an North City, gazing at the vast sea before her, her eyes cold yet resolute.
The world is in chaos, and she will fight her way out in her own way to earn a foothold for those who are willing to follow her, especially for women who have been trampled by the world.
She knew that the real test was about to begin.
