The most arrogant in history

Chapter 188 2-legged sheep.

Other officials also opposed it, only a few remained silent.

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Everyone, speak freely. Before seeing the advantages of something, you should first see its disadvantages. First, talk about the inappropriate parts."

The military officer stood up, clasped his fists and said:

"Lord Ye, I am also against this plan. Because women lack physical strength and are not strong enough, they cannot kill the enemy on the battlefield, and will instead drag down the combat effectiveness of our army."

In ancient times, it was indeed inappropriate to send female soldiers to the battlefield.

Even the soldiers might rebel.

Because in ancient decisive battles, both sides fought in formation. Female soldiers were not strong enough, and once they fell, they would disrupt their own formation, lose their positions, and be easily broken by the enemy.

There were even some people crying and shouting loudly, disrupting the morale of the army.

Soldiers are fighting for their lives. If you send women to cause trouble and cause the male soldiers to die, it would be strange if they don't rebel.

Ye Kun nodded and asked for others' opinions.

The household officer said: "The Chinese nation is a country of etiquette, men and women should not touch each other. It is really indecent for a woman to sneak into the military camp and fall and tumble around..."

Others also plucked up their courage and expressed their opinions.

After listening to this, Ye Kun said:

"What you say, gentlemen, makes sense. But please listen to me and let's discuss this further."

Everyone nodded.

Ye Kun said:

"When I was in Pingye County, I formed a women's nursing team to take care of the wounded, and many people opposed it. Because caring for the wounded involves a lot of physical contact, and even requires feeding the wounded, washing their bodies, changing their clothes, etc. But everyone should also see how many lives our women's nursing team has saved.

These female nurses, through exchanges and learning with the midwifery hospital and military hospital, are now talents, and their medical skills are comparable to those of famous doctors. I deployed dozens of nurses in various pavilions and villages to popularize medical knowledge, treat diseases and save lives. How many lives have they saved? "

Everyone nodded, acknowledging the great role played by the female nurse, but then said, "But being a doctor and fighting in a war are not the same thing."

"I haven't finished yet." Ye Kun nodded and smiled:

"There are many kinds of battlefields, not just the front lines where people line up to fight. Women can't go to the front lines, but they can still fight in a city defense battle. The latest pulley crossbow I made doesn't require much strength to string, and doesn't require women to have the strength to draw a hard bow.

In addition, once a full-scale war breaks out, the rear will also be a battlefield. If we are a small place like Dongba County, we must mobilize all our people to protect ourselves."

No one spoke, but it was clear from their expressions that they still opposed it.

Ye Kun stood up, looking solemn:

"The northern barbarians are strong and brave. Men, women, old and young are all good at riding and shooting. They capture Han women and call them two-legged sheep, and use them as military rations. They wash clothes and work during the day, and allow themselves to be humiliated at night. When the military rations are insufficient, they kill them to fill their stomachs!

"My dear gentlemen, who among you would like your wife, daughter, and sister to become the two-legged sheep of the Hu people? Everyone thinks that it is not elegant for women to fall and roll around, so is it elegant to be a two-legged sheep?"

Everyone was stunned and speechless.

"If we don't want to be two-legged sheep, we must cultivate the fighting consciousness in our brothers and sisters!"

Ye Kun raised his voice: "My purpose in forming a women's unit is not to expect them to kill many enemies, but to inspire everyone's blood and cultivate our nation's martial spirit. I want to tell everyone that women can also kill enemies. Our sisters are definitely not two-legged sheep that can be slaughtered at will! They are the darlings of heaven, and they can also hold up half the sky!"

After the Three Kingdoms, there was the Jin Dynasty, then the Rebellion of the Eight Kings, and then the Invasion of the Five Barbarians.

It was a period of humiliation, the darkest era in Chinese history. Chinese civilization was almost extinct, and the Chinese people finally migrated south and survived in a corner of the south of the Yangtze River.

Whenever Ye Kun read about the Five Barbarians Invasion in history, he would feel sad and filled with endless anger!

Therefore, Ye Kun prepared for the future and must not let the situation of the Five Barbarians Invading China happen again in the future!

Guan Yafu was also moved and asked, "But Lord Ye, even if you are right, can our women be trained?"

Ye Kun smiled and said, "Does Lord Guan doubt my ability to lead and train troops?"

Everyone bowed together: "Lord Ye has a good way of managing the army and training soldiers, which is well known."

Ye Kun nodded and continued:

"I am organizing a militia to strengthen its organization and facilitate future war mobilization. Think about it, if we are at war and need to transport food and fodder, you go down to recruit soldiers and collect food, and you shout - all militia, return to the team immediately and accept the mission! Isn't that very convenient?"

Without organization, there is no discipline.

Once the militia organization is established, the mobilization capacity will be greatly enhanced.

Guan Yafu nodded: "I agree with Lord Ye's arrangement, I will obey your orders and support the action."

Other officials also expressed their support for Ye Kun's decision.

Ye Kun nodded: "Now that the resolution has been reached, everyone, you must fully cooperate in the future. Solve difficulties when there are difficulties, and do not back down. Only by unifying thoughts and firming goals can great things be accomplished."

Everyone clasped their fists together and said, "We will fully cooperate with Master Ye!"

Ye Kun breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s not easy to convince these old stubborn people.

After lunch, Ye Kun called together the students of the Military Affairs Hall, as well as some outstanding scouts and generals, and announced the formation of a women's army and a militia.

The students of Tanbingtang have followed Ye Kun for a long time and all of them support him.

The other generals didn't care and said they would give it a try.

Ye Kun called Yao Caidie again and talked to her in private.

Yao Caidie is currently the chief of the nursing team at the military camp hospital, and she is doing an excellent job.

Ye Kun said, "Cai Die, I told you that I would let you be a female general. Let's arrange this now. Do you think it's okay?"

Yao Caidie smiled and said, "Brother Dalang, how many soldiers can I lead as a general?"

"Little girl, if you want to lead troops, you need to practice more." Ye Kun scratched Caidie's nose:

"Pick 20 strong women from the nursing home and form a team. You will be the team leader and receive military training. After a month, you will be promoted to lieutenant and lead the women's unit. When you have gained experience, you will be promoted to general and lead 10,000 militiamen in the county. That will be very impressive."

“What about the nursing home?”

"Leave it to the outstanding people under our command. If there are not enough nurses, we will recruit more."

"Okay, I'll arrange it!"

During this period of time, there was no war, so the nursing home had a lot of free time. We could transfer a group of strong women and train the nurses later. There was no time at all.

The women in the nursing home, who take care of wounded soldiers, have seen everything, so they can let go during training and set an example.

In addition, Ye Kun ordered the recruitment of female soldiers across the territory, with a total of 200 women, with restrictions on height, weight, and age.

The selected person will be rewarded with ten strings of cash immediately!

Because of ideological issues, most women are unwilling to join the army.

But if you give money, it’s different!

Ten taels of silver can at least guarantee the living expenses of a family of four for one or two years.

As soon as the notice was released, many people responded to the recruitment.

Some unscrupulous gentry bought women at low prices and sent them to recruitment offices.

Ye Kun had anticipated this and inquired about each case one by one. When he discovered this kind of situation, he denounced the landlords, terminated the sales relationship, and declared the transaction invalid!

In less than two days, two hundred female soldiers were recruited.

On the first day of training, Ye Kun personally taught the class and did ideological work, and of course gave a passionate speech to motivate everyone.

With Yao Caidie leading the nursing home members as an example, the training quickly got on track.

There are also fewer training programs for female soldiers.

In addition to cultivating discipline, the military events only include running, marching, ambushing, obstacle courses, simple movements of killing the enemy with swords and guns, and the use of light bows and small crossbows.

After ten days of intensive training, female and male soldiers were combined and stationed in various pavilions and townships to form militia teams.

Ye Kun requested that all retired veterans under the age of 40 from all villages and towns voluntarily return to the team for training.

In order to encourage women to sign up, Ye Kun also gave them rewards. Each female militia member would receive a set of combat uniforms, one hundred yuan, and a 20-day training course. They would be provided with food and drink, which were delicious, and cultural courses.

Students of Tanbingtang went deep into various places and were responsible for ideological construction work.

These students have followed Ye Kun for a long time and have learned everything about how to cheer up.

For a time, all the people in Dongba County became soldiers, and the shouts were earth-shaking.

Ye Kun inspected the construction of militia teams in various places and couldn't help but sigh. If Cao Miao Village had such a team, would it have been able to stop the bandits from Shuangya Mountain from bullying it for so many years?

As for the current militia company, let alone Shuangya Mountain, even if we randomly pick a company to attack the fierce bear in Xiping Mountain, they can beat the fierce bear to death!

He can also eat it while it’s hot!

Pingye County also has seven or eight militia companies. When Ye Kun was on patrol, he also went home to spend time with his mother, Jiang Yourong, Yuejuan and others.

Yourong's belly is getting bigger and bigger.

It is estimated that production will begin after the autumn harvest.

Ye Kun abused his public power for personal gain and transferred two experienced nurses and two experienced midwives to take personal care of Jiang Yourong. He also allowed Jiang Yourong to exercise appropriately and take a walk every day.

However, considering Jiang Yourong's good figure, the possibility of a difficult delivery was low, so Ye Kun was relieved.

As for Jingzhou, Ye Kun had already sent Zhuge Feng twice, but Wei Dingshan still ignored him, which made Ye Kun a little annoyed.

If I could beat you, I would beat you!

The eldest son Wei Ning was quite good. He ordered the merchants in Jingzhou to purchase large quantities of the ore that Ye Kun needed and send it to him in a steady stream.

Wei Caiqin was also very nice. She would ask merchants to send letters to Ye Kun every now and then, and would also bring some small gifts and local specialties to Ye Kun.

Of course Ye Kun had to reply, and he always attached one or two interesting things, customized porcelain, wrote poems, and asked a carpenter to make a desk and dressing table with drawers for Wei Caiqin.

At that time in the Dading Kingdom, drawers had not yet been invented, so Ye Kun casually designed two pieces of furniture with drawers, which were still very novel.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of June.

The weather is hot.

Wu Xuan and Xue Ju sent troops on horseback to ask for help. Sima Yu, the governor of Jiaozhou, raised an army of 20,000 and stormed Shiquanzhai.

Wu Xuan and Xue Ju won the first battle, but then they could not withstand the opponent's powerful offensive and retreated step by step, almost completely leaving the range of Shiquan Village.

Ye Kun sighed: "Wu Xuan, Xue Ju and Huangfu Lin are all great generals, how come they can't beat Sima Yu, a idiot?"
