"How old is your son?" Zhu Youlang continued to ask.

"Eleven."

"Have you entered school?"

"I have already started school and have also become a master of martial arts practice. This child doesn't like studying much, so he is very interested in martial arts practice."

"Cultivate it well. It doesn't matter whether it is learning literature or practicing martial arts. As long as it is a useful material, I will take care of him in the future."

"Thank you, the prince! I am not repaid by the little concubine." Xing Xiaozao tried his best, but wasn't it for his son? Finally, he received a promise from the emperor and immediately bowed excitedly: "Your Majesty, I am a troop, riding horses and fighting, and collecting food and grass. Moreover, I am unwilling to apply facial makeup, sewing clothes and cooking like ordinary women, and trapped in the house. If the emperor has the right to make a woman show up, I am willing to give this body."

Well? Don’t say such obscure words, okay? What does “dedicate this body” mean? Is there any ambiguity?

When Zhu Youlang heard her words, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"It's enough to have this heart. If there is an errand for you in the future, I will send you."

"Your Majesty, it's not that the little concubine is not inappropriate. I really don't want to be a boudoir woman. I'm so upset with those noble ladies all day long. I heard that the emperor wanted to build a women's medical team, and the little concubine wanted to ask the emperor for this job."

Zhu Youlang does mean to build a women's medical team.

Nursing is meticulous and trivial, and women have natural advantages over men. Moreover, if wounded soldiers are treated with women, it is very beneficial for their physical recovery and psychological healing.

However, in this era, there is a deep resistance to women's appearance, and it is a rash move that will cause criticism.

Of course, the imprisonment of women is not very strict now. In history, the most severe thing was after the Qing Dynasty.

In Zhu Youlang's view, the feudal society's imprisonment on women is a destruction and great unfairness on women. Men and women are very defensive, and men and women are very defensive. What is the only thing that is prevented is women? When did men defend themselves?

Zhu Youlang really wants to break this confinement for women. Not only can women show up in public, but they can also work as a worker to support their families. Building a women's medical team is a good attempt.

He only mentioned this idea to Ye Zifan, but he didn't expect Xing Xiaozao to know it too. It seems that this woman is not only good at ease, but also has the talent for intelligence work.

"Okay, go to the imperial guards, it's cheaper to have Li Yuanyin take care of. How to recruit team members, how to manage, what treatment, how to learn skills, you discuss with Yuanyin and report the statement to me. However, you must be mentally prepared. This is not easy to do, and I'm afraid you have to endure some rumors in a short period of time." Zhu Youlang agreed.

"Thank you for your trust, I will do my best. As long as the emperor allows you, I will not be afraid of rumors." Xing Xiaozao said with excitement on his face and looked eager to try.

...

The undercurrents in the court were not peaceful, but Li Chengdong's military operations in Fujian were very exciting.

Li Chengdong recaptured the entire Fujian without any effort. He was all his old subordinates. How could he not obey his orders? As the head coach, Tong Yangjia only had a thousand soldiers and could not make any trouble. In addition, the news was blocked, and Li Chengdong took it down in one fell swoop.

Tong Yangjia's thousand soldiers were authentic Jurchens, and they had a strong will to resist. Tong Yangjia was captured alive, but these Qing soldiers wanted to resist, but were surrounded by Meng Wenjie and killed them all, leaving only one hundred of Tong Yangjia's personal soldiers. Tong Yangjia was begging for surrender, and Li Chengdong discussed with Wang Fuzhi and Yuan Pengnian and decided to keep Tong Yangjia's life, with the intention of showing the Ming army's attitude of treating prisoners preferentially and setting a benchmark for the surrender of Qing soldiers and generals in the future.

Li Chengdong wrote a copy to ask Tong Yangjia for his life, but Zhu Youlang was sure, not only did he be sure, but he also ordered him to be the deputy marshal of the Northern Ming Army.

Even if Tong Yangjia has a special intention, he will not be able to do anything big.

The entire Fujian region was quickly pacified, but there was a regret that the leader of the Fujian Navy Zheng Zhilong was able to escape because he was fighting pirates on the sea and took away more than a thousand warships of all sizes. Zhu Youlang, who was the king of Fuzhi, also escaped with Zheng Zhilong.

Li Chengdong and Wang Fuzhi cooperated well, especially Wang Fuzhi, who handled various government affairs in an orderly manner, not only ensuring the supply of food and grass for the army, but also quickly mobilized the people to join the army and replenished 10,000 troops to Li Chengdong, making the total number of his army reach 50,000.

Li Chengdong was wholeheartedly planning the war, and he didn't have to worry about logistics supply at all. He admired Wang Fuzhi very much.

...

In the battle of Xianxia Pass, Li Chengdong relied on his advantage in the geographical position and suffered extremely small casualties, causing Boluo, who was attacking the front, to hurt more than 2,000 soldiers. Before Ajige surrounded him, he quickly jumped out of the encirclement and led the team to the southern foot of Wuyi Mountain.

"Everyone, the emperor's will be to block the attacks along the western Fujian corridor and to buy Guangzhou for more than half a year. According to the general's wishes, our army cannot defend the cities behind. The city walls of Shaowu, Taining, Ninghua and Tingzhou are low, easy to attack and difficult to defend. If you defend the city and besieged by the Qing soldiers, it will be a matter of time before our army breaks the city, and our army has lost its mobility. Therefore, according to the emperor's will, our army must take advantage of the many mountains and rivers, the Qing cavalry is inconvenient to develop, and the slow progress of the land will slow down its advancement speed."

"Now Azig quickly followed, and was more than 100 miles away from Boro's main force. He had five thousand men, two thousand cavalry, three thousand infantry, and more than 10,000 auxiliary soldiers. What do you think?"

In the tent of the commander, Li Chengdong, Deputy Marshal Tong Yangjia, Army Counselor Yuan Pengnian, Deputy General Du Yonghe, Meng Wenjie and others stood in front of the map to discuss military information.

"Hehe, Ajige is eager to make contributions, and he is too deeply impressed. He underestimated us too much." Meng Wenjie said with a smile.

"Although there are many auxiliary soldiers, their combat effectiveness is extremely poor, and it is no problem to beat them. There is no need to completely wipe out, just burn the food and grass, and Ajige can only wait for the support. The subordinates think this strategy is feasible." Yuan Pengnian nodded with his beard and twisted.

"Ajige is also a famous general, how could he not beware of the robbery of the food road? The commander and the subordinate felt a little risky." Tong Yangjia didn't want to speak, but in order to show his presence, he still expressed a cautious attitude.

"Deputy Commander Tong, are there any risks in fighting? How can you fight with a sure battle? Besides, just burn the food and grass of the ghost grandson Ajige, the purpose of delaying his progress. This is worth taking." Deputy General Du Yonghe snatched Tong Yangjia away.

"Deputy Coach Tong, what you said is not unreasonable. However, as long as we plan properly and make plans without intention, this coach will not be very risky. You see..."
