“Since Miss Shen is going, then I’m willing to go too!”
"Oh, even if I don't go, my father has already promised me a marriage. He'll give me five taels of silver to marry a rotten old man. I heard his first wife was beaten to death."
"If I go to the Xiongnu, no matter how bad my situation is, it can't be worse than what I have now, right? Maybe if I go to the Xiongnu, they can choose a good man for me."
"I heard that the Xiongnu people value the use of force, and even their women can ride horses and hunt."
"Maybe I'm better suited to go over there."
As soon as she finished speaking, a tall and strong woman walked out of the crowd and clenched her fists.
"I think I'm quite suitable to go to the Xiongnu. I heard that women with strong and agile bodies are considered beautiful there."
"If I go over there, I'm sure she'll be a beauty too, hahahaha."
Chen Wei was deeply touched when he heard these words.
Even her eyes were red, she looked at her and said, "That must be it."
"If you weren't in this place, there would definitely be a wider sky."
The other person was really too tall, estimated to be about 1.8 meters. With this height and healthy body, if she was born in modern times, even if she could not be a female soldier, she could at least be a fashion model.
More and more people signed up to follow.
After Chen Wei and Xiaoying counted the numbers, they found that there were still nearly two thousand people missing.
"What should we do? We're still short of so many people. Where can we find them?"
"The Emperor only gave us half a month."
Zhao Xiangrong paced back and forth anxiously, fearing that he would miss the date and be blamed by the emperor.
In fact, if all the people in the martial arts school were included, the number would be about the same, but Chen Wei let them choose for themselves and did not force them.
Chen Wei pursed his lips and said, "We will recruit people in the capital tomorrow, let's see who is willing to go."
Zhao Xiangrong was pessimistic about this. Unless the imperial court ordered every family to send out a daughter, and the whole family would be punished if they refused, who would be so stupid as to go voluntarily?
But Chen Wei had made up her mind, so she didn't say anything more.
The next day.
Chen Wei hung a sign at the gate of the capital city that read: "Recruiting Office!"
Xiaoying and a dozen apprentices from the martial arts school were shouting at the city gate.
"Every man has a share of responsibility for the fate of his country. The imperial court is negotiating peace with the Xiongnu in the north. For the sake of peace for the people, we women can also choose to serve our country with all our loyalty."
"All women can sign up voluntarily, there is no compulsion."
“........”
Many people gathered around, but no one volunteered to sign up. However, many onlookers pointed fingers and made sarcastic remarks.
A man whose body was hollowed out by alcohol and sex stopped in his tracks when he heard the sound.
His face was dark yellow, his eyes were bruised, and he looked listless. He staggered to the front, almost leaning forward to see the three words "Recruitment Office" clearly.
Sudden.
He laughed like a madman and turned to look at the woman in coarse cloth behind him: "Conscription? The one who loses a battle and has to send women over for fun?"
"Hahahaha, screw the conscription!"
"Look, it's a good thing I married you."
"Otherwise you'll have to go to the Xiongnu and become a wife to those barbarians. Tsk tsk, I heard those people are beasts, and women are not as important as their cattle and horses."
"If you dare say another word again, I will divorce you and let you experience the life of a wild beast."
Sakura actually felt very uncomfortable after hearing these words. There were already few people who volunteered to sign up, and if this man continued to cause trouble, he would probably scare everyone away.
If the number of people is not gathered, the emperor will issue an order to force it, and the situation will probably become even more chaotic.
