Chapter 171 6.21 The female general closed for development
Chapter 6

6.21 Was awarded the title of female general, closed for development

Three days later in the morning, Rongguo Mansion, Jiamu Courtyard.

"Old ancestor—" A woman rushed into the yard from outside with a face full of panic, "an angel came from outside the gate, saying that there was an order from the Supreme Emperor, and asked the mansion to prepare to receive the order."

"Huh?" Mother Jia was also stunned, because the Rongguo Mansion had not received an imperial decree for many years, but fortunately she had seen the world, "Hurry up, set up the incense table in front of the Rongxi Hall immediately, and send someone to notify the master!"

"Old Ancestor, the slaves sent someone, but they were stopped at the door, because the imperial decree was not for the mansion, but—" Yuanyang who just came back from the outside had a strange expression, "For the two girls of Lixiangyuan. "

Because Lin Daiyu and Shi Xiangyun brought too many salutes and people, and they didn't want to live separately, Jia's mother finally gave them a small courtyard that Rong Guogong raised in his later years.

By the way, in the original "Red Mansion", Xue's family arranged to live here after they moved into Jia's mansion.

"Yu'er and Yun'er?" Jia's mother was at a loss, "Even if the female relatives in the inner court who have not left the cabinet were promoted by the Tian family, it should be the queen's order. Why is it an imperial order?"

"Old Ancestor, the angel is still waiting outside the door. The servants have arranged for the two girls to be invited, and the incense tables have been arranged for them to be set up. It should be ready by now." Yuanyang said softly.

"Let's go!" Mother Jia also knew that she couldn't figure it out, so let's take a look.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict says, Cha Xian, the daughter of Bowling Hou's daughter Shi Shi, and the ex-convict Tanhua's daughter Lin Shi, have always had the ambition not to let their eyebrows down. Thank you!" Xia Shouzhong finished reading the imperial edict with a smile on his face.

"Old inner minister, this—" Jia's mother was completely dumbfounded by the fact that Lin Daiyu and Shi Xiangyun had appointed female generals. Of course she knew female generals, but she also knew that this thing had already become a decoration.

"Two generals, don't you want to accept the order?" Xia Shouzhong ignored Jia's mother at all, and continued to look at the second daughter Shi Lin who was also a little dumbfounded with a smile.

"The last general thanked Lord Long En!" It was Lin Daiyu who reacted first, and pulled Shi Xiangyun to go through the procedures according to the general's etiquette before getting up to receive the order.

"The old inner minister has worked hard, take some of your heart to have tea!" Mingyue, who was signaled by Shi Xiangyun, took a few steps forward, and stuffed a 500 tael silver ticket into Xia Shouzhong's sleeve.

"Two generals, our family is here today. Besides announcing the decree, we also have a message for the Supreme Emperor." Glancing at the amount of the bank note, Xia Shouzhong smiled even brighter, "It's for the young master behind you two.

The meaning of Taishanghuang is only four words: Enough is enough, I hope the Second Young Master Wei will not mistake himself, after all, he is still young, and the days are still long. "

"The general understands!" No matter what he thought in his heart, he must agree to face, Shi Xiangyun changed the topic to another matter after speaking, "Since the general is already a military officer, he will also go to the battlefield in the future.

Although the girls around me can't do much, it's okay to serve as personal soldiers, but some armor and weapons need to be transported from the south, do they need to be reported? "

Xia Shouzhong was completely fooled by what she said.

Throughout the entire feudal era, it has always been the practice for generals to adopt private soldiers and servants, and there are no fixed standards for the number of private soldiers and equipment levels of generals at all levels, and it often depends on the generals' ability.

These people are the general's servants and guards in normal times, and they are personal soldiers, military police, and by the way, the reserve officer corps in wartime. Once there are vacancies below, they will fill the vacancies the fastest.

The most exaggerated thing is that in the late Ming Dynasty, generals at all levels did not take ordinary soldiers seriously at all. During the war, their role was basically to fight with momentum, and the combat effectiveness of the troops depended entirely on private soldiers.

But this is about men, and there are not many female generals in the official history of China. There is only one hereditary stone pillar Xuanfu envoy Qin Liangyu included in the official history, and that is gone.

Originally, the Supreme Emperor thought that Shi Xiangyun wanted to be a "female general" and all he wanted was status, so he gave Lin Daiyu one by the way, and didn't take it seriously at all. No one thought that she would be serious.

"General Shi was joking. These girls are only twenty-eight years old. They look like they would collapse in the wind. How can they become soldiers?" Xia Shouzhong didn't dare to agree. precedent.

Although the Dashun Dynasty had a history of "female battalions and female generals", it was an orthodox feudal dynasty in essence. The superiority of men and the inferiority of women were engraved in the bones. Let alone a eunuch, even the emperor dared not break it.

The so-called "women's battalion" was only convenient for management even during the time of the rogues. They did some work such as sewing, laundry and cooking on weekdays, but no one thought of sending them to the front line.

"Sisters, did you hear that?" Shi Xiangyun didn't answer at all, but turned around and said to the maids with a smile.

"I understand!" All the maids responded solemnly with clasped fists and a military salute.Mingyue raised her left hand, and a sleeve arrow flew out with a "swish", and was accurately nailed to an ornamental tree not far away. The powerful machine spring provided surging power, and the sleeve arrow, which was less than three inches deep, penetrated nearly three inches. one part.

Caixia chuckled lightly, wiped her right hand around her waist, and unsheathed a three-foot-long soft steel knife, followed by a set of "Lancet Knife Technique" displayed in front of everyone.

The other maids drew their knives and lined up, and a standard army-style single-knife drill formation was unfolded in sequence amidst the clear and crisp shouts of killing, and there would be no problem in terms of momentum or level.

In fact, only the two girls Shi Lin knew martial arts, and the others didn't see it, because whether it is a soft steel knife or a soft sword, it is impossible to use it without internal strength!
This is what Wei Xu only discovered in this era. These two weapons are actually far less simple than those mentioned in modern TV dramas, because they involve two issues, one is strength, and the other is control.

All weapons must be sharp and strong, and soft steel knives or soft swords are no exception. If you only use ordinary steel, you can refer to the "martial arts performance sword" in modern society for details. Basically, it is useless.

Therefore, the soft swords used in actual combat in the world of "Red Mansions" must be mixed with "legendary" materials, such as the most famous black iron, which is what these girls use.

This is related to another problem. These sharp weapons are erratic when held, and they can't be scratched by shaking casually?If you want to control it, you can only infuse it with internal force, and then rely on special methods to use it.

In other words, this group of unremarkable girls are actually third-rate players with minimal internal strength, the kind who can single out at least seventeen or eight strong men!

"At the end, we will bring the weapons and armor over as soon as possible, and then report to the Ministry of Internal Affairs!" Lin Daiyu clasped her fists in a dignified salute, but she didn't mean to discuss it at all!
Now that the decree was passed, both parties naturally went back to their respective homes, but except for the inner courtyard of the Wei family who returned to the yard as usual, everyone else was at a loss, and even walking felt like they were stepping on cotton.

More than half a month later, at the beginning of May of the 12th year of Yongzheng, Jinling Wei Mansion, bedroom in the inner courtyard.

"Enough is enough?" After sending away the eunuch group who specially delivered the decree, Wei Xu held the decree with a strange expression after returning to the inner courtyard.

Ordinarily, a five-rank pleasant decree does not need an imperial decree at all. Generally, after the Ministry of Rites receives the relevant order, it will go through a single procedure.

Only orders above the third rank require the queen to use the "Phoenix Seal" and Yizhi to issue, because such a rank can enter the palace to participate in banquets during festivals, and can directly submit memorials to the queen if something happens.

"Master, the two sisters have made a big deal in the capital, and our actions these days are not small, it seems that the palace can't stand it anymore." Saeko Busujima said with a smile.

"Alright, send a letter to those two girls, and they will return to live in the Lin Mansion after seeing it. Through this way of making troubles, I believe that as long as the old lady of the Jia family does not get into the shit in her head, she will never calculate again.

We have also reached a bottleneck, and now the personnel have been deployed and replenished, but the training has just begun, and it will take at least half a year to form a basic combat effectiveness, just in time to practice internal strength while the door is closed.

Also, Xue Baochai's children's shoes, don't stare at the oversized and pleasant outfit with envy, you can wear them if you want, and you can wear them for as long as you want. "Wei Xu said angrily.

"If Sister Bao likes it, you can take it now." Qin Keqing suppressed a smile, stepped forward to put Xue Baochai on her arm and said with a smile, "Just don't wear it indiscriminately when you go out."

The last sentence is clearly a warning.

"Brother Xu, Sister Ke'er!" Xue Baochai blushed with embarrassment. She was the most utilitarian in the backyard of the Wei family, but she wanted to run away but was held back, so she had to bury her head in Qin Keqing's chest like an ostrich.

"Master, it seems that Dragon Head Palace has already guessed that Wang Ziteng's incident was caused by us." Saeko Busujima said seriously, "Do we need to take some defensive measures?"

"Just follow the normal standards. This is an internal problem in the noble circle. As long as no one is killed, you must follow the rules. If Wang Ziteng is capable of revenge, I can still give him a high opinion.

It doesn't matter if the Supreme Emperor knows about it. In fact, it doesn't matter whether he knows or not. Anyway, everyone can guess it. As long as there is no real evidence, it will be treated as an ordinary case. "Wei Xu said disdainfully.

"Well, news came from the capital that the Shuntian Mansion is searching for the 'Bailian Remaining Party', but they have never sent anyone into the inner city. It is estimated that they will be 'found' in a few days." Saeko Busujima said with a smile.

"That's how it is. The recruits recruited by Qianhu have to strengthen their training. If there are no accidents in July and August, even if we don't want to go, someone will arrange for us to go there." Wei Xu made a final decision.

"Husband, why is this?" Qin Keqing asked in confusion.

"Because we made a big fuss, it's time to beat them." Wei Xu smiled coldly.
