Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 71 Advice, Argument

The red lady took a closer look at Aimee Zhu's leggings, and said, "I've seen this kind of leggings on some old soldiers in the army, but I don't know what it does?"

Aunt Zhu said: "Its main function is to relieve the fatigue of the legs, so that soldiers can travel more.

Because of walking for a long time, the blood will pool on the calf, which will make people feel tired, and it will damage the blood vessels after a long time.

Leggings can effectively slow down the pooling of blood to the calf.

In addition, the leggings tighten the trouser legs, which can effectively prevent mosquito bites.

Finally, after the leggings are equipped for all the soldiers, they can take off the cloth straps of the leggings and use them as ropes when necessary, and they can also be used as gauze bandages to bind wounds after being boiled, washed and disinfected. "

The red lady smiled and said: "Although I didn't understand everything the princess said, I know it's a good thing for the soldiers. Tomorrow I will ask the people in the supply camp to make leggings and distribute them to the whole army."

Auntie Zhu nodded, and said again: "The second little trick to relieve the fatigue of long-distance marching is to soak your feet in hot water every night before resting."

The red lady sighed when she heard this time, and said: "I know this method, even those who don't know it will feel more comfortable to sleep with their feet soaked in hot water.

But the conditions in this march are simple and difficult. How can the soldiers soak their feet in hot water every night before going to bed?

Not to mention that firewood is hard to find, and now there are many droughts in various places, and sometimes even water is hard to find. "

Aunt Zhu said firmly, "I also know that the conditions during the march are rough, but we can order the soldiers to do their best.

It may be difficult for the soldiers to soak their feet in hot water every day, but as long as there are conditions, the soldiers must be allowed to do it.

This long-term accumulation will not only speed up our marching speed, but also make the soldiers less damaged by long-distance marching. "

After hearing this, the red lady nodded and said, "What the princess said is that, I will order the soldiers to use hot water to soak their feet as much as possible from tonight."

After finishing speaking, Hong Niangzi asked the soldiers who followed her to deliver the order.

Her female soldiers are all tall and thick, some have battle scars on their faces, and some don't speak. No one can tell the difference between men and women, even if they speak.

She is not afraid of bad things happening if she asks these female soldiers to go to other battalions for interrogation.

Of course, in fact, some female soldiers in the Guards Battalion have already married the male soldiers, and they just live in separate camps during the march.

Aimee Zhu followed Auntie Hong to continue patrolling the guard camp, and the female soldiers greeted Auntie Zhu and Auntie Hong warmly.

I met a bold tall and strong woman in the middle, and she asked with a big smile: "Princess, leader, the biscuits and canned food you gave us last time were delicious, and you are very hungry. When will we share?" Give us a meal?"

Auntie Zhu smiled and said nothing.

The red lady scolded with a smile: "I said Hu Niu, you are not beautiful but you think you are beautiful? Those biscuits and canned food are not only delicious, but also have a long storage time and are convenient to transport. I will give you those now. Could it be that all the other food in the camp has rotted on the carts?"

Hu Niu casually tied the long hair that had just been washed casually on her head, and said with a smile: "It's a pity that the food is rotten, and the leader asked us to have an extra bowl of rice if we have nothing to do, so we can eat early." Are you finished?"

"You really have a good idea!" The red lady couldn't help but slapped Hu Niu's thick buttocks, "We may not have enough food to go to Sichuan, wouldn't it be a bigger gap if you eat an extra bowl every meal Are you gone? Are you going to get food if you don’t have any?”

"I do it, I do it." Hu Niu is a real tiger, and she is not very afraid of the red lady, "I will meet some landlord's Wubao later, give me dozens of sisters, and I will break the food!"

Because it was a personal guard camp full of female soldiers, and it was night, so Auntie Zhu covered her phone camera before entering the camp.

Although Hao Guangming couldn't see anyone, he still couldn't help feeling emotional when he heard the conversation between Hu Niu and Hong Niangzi.

After all, the Red Lady Department is also a peasant army that has moved to various places for several years, and it has long been a peasant army's tradition to find landlords and rich gentry for food.

Veteran soldiers like Huniu have taken it as a habit.

But now that we haven't arrived in Sichuan, it's not the time for Auntie Zhu to rectify the Red Detachment Army and re-order military regulations and disciplines. The army is indeed short of food, and it is also planned to collect food on the road.

Sure enough, the red lady smiled and said: "Okay, I remember what you said, and I will let you do this job later, but don't embarrass my personal guard camp."

Hu Niu said happily: "Don't worry, leader, we will never lose face!"

After inspecting the guard camp and on the way back to the big tent, Zhu Wei hesitated for a while and said, "Miss Hong, I see that it is very inconvenient for the female soldiers in the guard camp to comb their long hair and wash their hair every day. Can you give me an order?" Make them all cut their hair short?"

"What?" The red lady was obviously taken aback when she heard this, and then said, "Isn't that good? How could a general force the soldiers to cut their hair? Wouldn't they become a nun army if they were all cut?

And isn't there such a saying that the body is given by the parents and cannot be damaged, otherwise it is unfilial. "

Auntie Zhu laughed and said, "It's the beginning of filial piety when the body, hair and skin are taken care of by the parents, not daring to hurt them."

"That's right, that's the sentence." The red lady nodded repeatedly, "My husband used to use this sentence to persuade me not to take risks in the battle. This sentence comes from the "Book of Filial Piety". If we want to observe filial piety, we must obey it." .”

Concubine Zhu also heard Hao Guangming talk about this issue, after asking her and Concubine Zhu to cut their hair short.

So after hearing what Hong Niangzi said, Auntie Zhu said, "There is a good sentence in the "Book of Filial Piety", but what it wants to convey is not the superficial meaning."

The red lady blinked her apricot eyes a few times, apparently not understanding what Aimi Zhu meant.

Auntie Zhu burst out laughing.

Seeing that he had already arrived at the big tent, he simply entered the big tent, and told Li Yan about the proposal to let the female soldiers of the guard battalion cut their hair short first.

Li Yan frowned when he heard this, and instead of talking about filial piety to Auntie Zhu, he gave another explanation.

"Your Highness, too long hair is indeed not conducive to daily life, let alone marching and fighting, so whether it is ordinary people or soldiers in the camp, they will have their hair and beard trimmed regularly.

But if you cut your hair short as His Highness said, it is absolutely unacceptable.Because shortening hair has been a kind of punishment since ancient times, it is called Kun punishment.

In addition, my sons and daughters of the Han family have always regarded long hair and beautiful beard as beauty, and barbaric hairstyles such as curly hair and baldness as ugly.

Therefore, forcing female soldiers to cut their hair short is tantamount to making them look ugly.

Moreover, many people think that cutting off hair is detrimental to filial piety, or it will shorten lifespan.

For all these reasons, how are they willing to reduce their hair to short hair?

If the order is enforced, I'm afraid it will make the female soldiers in the personal guard battalion feel resentful. "

Li Yan's persuasion was well-founded and earnest.

Therefore, Hao Guangming, who was heard through the mobile phone, was silent for a while.

Auntie Zhu frowned when she heard this.

Leaning slightly to her, she said: "Mr. Li, I didn't let the female soldiers cut their hair short on a whim, because in later generations, almost all men have short hair that doesn't reach the ear, or even an inch.

Most women also have short hair, and even those with long hair seldom have long hair below the waist.

This shows that customs are not immutable.

Short hair is better for soldiers to take care of during the march, and if it is done diligently and cleanly, there will be fewer lice and worms, which is beneficial to the health of soldiers and even reduces the occurrence and spread of diseases.

There are so many benefits, why can't the soldiers cut their hair short? "

Li Yan smiled wryly.

After thinking for a while, he said: "Your Highness's words are indeed reasonable, but it is absolutely difficult to change people's hearts overnight.

Let me use an analogy, if someone wants to tell His Highness that it is more beautiful to have a few knife marks on the face, and people will do this in the future, will His Highness be willing to self-destruct? "

Auntie Zhu said: "Mr. Li was joking, how could anyone consider having scars on his face as beautiful?"

Li Yan looked at Auntie Zhu firmly, and said, "If His Highness sends an order to cut hair short, the officers and soldiers will think that His Highness is joking—how could anyone regard short hair as beautiful?"

Aimee Zhu is a princess after all, and Li Yan and Hong Niangzi also accepted all kinds of suggestions based on this premise.

In addition, she watched pictures and videos on the Internet on Hao Guangming's side, and indeed found that people in the future have short hair, and they look good.

Therefore, although Li Yan's second persuasion was reasonable and powerful, it also made her angry.

She even laughed out of anger, and said: "Mr. Li said that people in the world think short hair is ugly, right? Well, I will cut it short tomorrow!"
