Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 55 Red Lady's Thought of Elite Soldiers
Aimee Zhu followed Hong Niangzi to her personal guard camp.

Because Hong Niangzi's personal guard camp is all female soldiers, the camp was set up in a compound next to Li's residence.

"In the past few years, I have led the rebel army to various places with King Chuang, and rescued many women. Among them, there are also many who are willing to follow my lead in the army, but there are not many who are suitable to join the army.

Therefore, my personal guard battalion has only more than 200 people so far, but all of them can fight the enemy like men.

Some powerful female soldiers are even better at killing the enemy than elite Chuangjun or generals. "

After saying that, Hong Niangzi led Aimee Zhu into the compound.

I just saw hundreds of female soldiers who were resting in rotation practicing.

Most of these female soldiers were taller than ordinary women, and they wore fairly thick red linings and leather jackets.

There is no helmet, and the black hair is tied into a single bun in the style of a man, and a red turban is tied.

A few female soldiers and officers wore cloth-faced iron armor, but it seems that there are not many iron armor pieces on it, and leather armor is still the main one.

I don't know if I think the heavy armor is not suitable for female soldiers, or I can't afford it.

At this time, the drills were not group drills, but were divided into small groups to practice their own weapons, mainly spears and crossbows. There were only a few small groups of sword and shield players and musketeers, and the number of them was obviously small.

Although this momentum is not as good as array drills, Hao Guangming saw real ancient female soldiers practicing for the first time, so he couldn't help but record the screen.

Auntie Zhu here is also fascinated.

She had never even seen the normal drills of soldiers, let alone the extremely rare drills of female soldiers.

The female soldiers didn't stop when they saw the red lady coming, only a few generals greeted the red lady, and looked at Aimee Zhu a little curiously.

Soon, Hong Niangzi brought Aimee Zhu to an ordinary room.

"Boss!" The two women guarding the gate clasped their fists at the red lady.

The red lady nodded and asked, "Is there nothing wrong with you inside?"

The female soldier on the left said with a smile: "We offer food and drink, she is comfortable."

The red lady smiled when she heard the words, and said to the female soldier guarding the gate and a few soldiers who followed: "You should guard ten steps away, and no one is allowed to approach without my permission."

"What if the military adviser comes?" A female soldier couldn't help asking.

The red lady snorted and said, "When he comes, he has to tell me first before he is allowed to enter."

A few female soldiers held back their laughter and retreated ten steps away from the house, acting as guards.

Aimee Zhu followed Hong Niangzi into the house.

Then he saw Fei Zhen'e sleeping soundly.

The red lady said: "Don't pretend, I'm talking so loud outside, there's no way you didn't wake up."

Fei Zhen'e opened her eyes with a sad expression.

When she saw Aimee Zhu next to her, she was taken aback for a moment, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes, then she turned her gaze away, as if she didn't recognize Aimee Zhu.

Speaking of which, Fei Zhen'e was dispatched by Empress Zhou before and served as Aimee Zhu's maid for several months, so she was quite familiar with Aimee Zhu.

Although Auntie Zhu's disguise was successful, it was impossible to say that Fei Zhen'e could not recognize her at all.

Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, Aimee Zhu knew that Fei Zhen'e didn't know that Hong Niangzi had been subdued by her, so she deliberately pretended not to know her, so as not to reveal her identity.

Thinking about this, Auntie Zhu couldn't help sighing secretly, Fei Zhen'e would be able to assassinate the Chuangjun general in the future, she really is not an ordinary woman.

Immediately she sat on the side of the bed, grabbed Fei Zhen'e's hands, and said, "Sister Zhen'e, Hong Niangzi and Li Yan have already turned to me, so I can come here to see you."

"Really?" Fei Zhen'e was surprised.

"Of course it's true."

But the red lady sat down on the chair next to her with a golden knife, and asked with a smile: "Now you and I are both princesses, so would you like to be my soldier?" '

Previously, Hong Niangzi treated Fei Zhen'e well, but now that Hong Niangzi had taken refuge in Aimi Zhu, Fei Zhen'e immediately relaxed a lot.

She also smiled when she heard the words, and said: "I can't serve you as a soldier, I have to serve the princess."

Fei Zhen'e is also from Henan, but she changed her accent after staying in the palace for several years.

Now it is the native dialect brought out by the red lady.

Of course, her Henan dialect is different from Hong Niangzi's, but they are roughly similar.

Afterwards, the three of them chatted for a while, and they all felt that Fei Zhen'e couldn't go with Aimee Zhu now, otherwise, if Li Zicheng thought of her and sent someone to check, if he couldn't find anyone, he would suspect Hong Niangzi.

After more than a quarter of an hour, Auntie Zhu left with Lady Hong.

Auntie Zhu knew that if she wanted to rebuild the country and revive Daming, she would have to deal with the army and even participate in wars.

So when she returned to Li's residence, she said: "Red lady, I want to pretend to be your personal guard and go to the big army camp to have a look.

In addition, there may be some people in your team who are infected with the plague, so get ready as soon as possible, and I will be right next to you to give advice. "

"You're right." Hong Niangzi nodded, "I'll send someone to find you a suit of armor that fits you."

Although Auntie Zhu is only fifteen or sixteen years old, she is a princess after all, no matter how poor Chongzhen is, she will not be short of food and clothing for the prince and princess.

Therefore, Aimee Zhu is 1.6 meters tall, taller than some men in Ming Dynasty.

Although she has a small frame, she still has a lot of flesh. After changing into a red dress and leather armor, her heroic appearance is no less than that of a red lady, and she is even more faintly extravagant.

The red lady shook her head, "No, you look too eye-catching in this outfit. Why don't you change back to the previous one and just pretend to be my husband's relative."

Auntie Zhu was speechless.

She wondered if the red lady was jealous that she looked better in armor.

Speaking of which, she only realized now that Hong Niangzi is a head shorter than her...
In the end, Aimee Zhu listened to Hong Niangzi's suggestion, changed back to her original clothes, and followed her to the barracks.

"I have fought wars for several years, and the biggest insight is that the most important thing in this war is not to be able to fight, but to have money and food, and to have all kinds of things that soldiers need.

Only with good armor and weapons can the soldiers be fed and strengthened to win battles and fight with fewer deaths.

Chuang Wang and the others used to like to drive those weak soldiers, that is, the refugees who had just joined the camp, to consume the officers and soldiers, and those who survived would be promoted to regular soldiers depending on the situation.

I know they are forced to do so, but I really don't have such a cold heart, so I listened to my husband's suggestion and paid less people and raised elite soldiers.

Now all the people under my command add up to more than 8000, and there are only more than [-] soldiers capable of fighting.

Among them, there are only more than a thousand cavalry, which form a separate battalion and are led by me personally.

There are more than [-] infantry, and they are assigned to four captains.

Two of them are the old men who started trouble with me earlier, one is a member of Xianggong's clan, and the other is a hero who befriended Xianggong in the early years..."

When Auntie Zhu followed Hong Niangzi to learn about her army, Li Yan, after a little understanding of the plague in the capital, found that the situation was more serious than expected, so he immediately went to the palace to meet Li Zicheng.

Inside the Hall of Martial Arts.

Li Zicheng is enthusiastically learning with Niu Jinxing the etiquette that the founding emperor should have when he formally enthrones.

Although he ascended the throne and established the Yuan Dynasty in Xi'an, it was done in a hurry and without any sense of ceremony, which made him feel like a fake emperor.

Now that the capital city has been broken, the Ming emperor has hanged himself to die for his country. It is a fact that he has ruled the world. Of course, there must be a formal and grand enthronement ceremony to pay homage to the world and announce that Li Zicheng is the new lord of the world!

However, he was not a person who liked red tape, so it was really difficult for him to learn from the officials of the Ministry of Rites of the Ming Dynasty.

Fortunately, with Niu Jinxing by his side, he could make him happy, and he enjoyed it for a while.

Li Zicheng and Niu Jinxing were a little unhappy when Li Yan asked to see him.

Li Zicheng said to the little eunuch who came in to report with a straight face: "Why did he say something? If it's the same as last time, let him go back."

The little eunuch tremblingly said: "Report to the emperor, Mr. Li didn't say what to report."

"You won't ask?" Li Zicheng was dissatisfied, feeling that the little eunuch was too dumb.

"The emperor calms down, and the slaves will ask."

The little eunuch was so frightened that he hurried away.

Soon the little eunuch returned to the hall and said: "Lord Li said it was a plague, and it has already involved the safety of the officers and men in the army."

"What?" Li Zicheng hurried over and grabbed the young eunuch's collar, and asked sharply, "You said there is a plague in this city?"
