Chapter 64 The General Loves the Country Girl (34)
After this incident, Ning Shu had established absolute prestige in the army. Of course, they were afraid, but Ning Shu said it didn't matter.
What surprised Ning Shu was that Cai Sang actually followed him to learn martial arts. Every day, in addition to washing clothes and cooking for Ning Shu and serving Ning Shu, she also took time to practice martial arts. She said she wanted to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, and Ning Shu would let her do it.
I don't know if it was because Ning Shu's reputation was too cruel, many women around who were lonely and helpless, or who had been abused by the Tartars, came to Ning Shu to seek refuge.
It didn't take long for hundreds of people to gather, and they became a women's army, which added a touch of color to the entire military camp.
These women were desperate and had no choice but to seek refuge with Ning Shu. Seeing Ning Shu say that he wanted to go to the battlefield to take revenge, they gnashed their teeth and felt bitter and resentful.
Ning Shu thought about it and realized that it was important to build a team that belonged to him and could be used at will, so he accepted these women and asked someone to teach them basic kung fu.
Maybe they have found a new goal in life. These women are as fierce as male soldiers. Women may not be as strong as men, but they are more resilient than men.
But the military camp cannot keep these women for nothing. Even Shen Feng said implicitly that women cannot stay in the military camp.
Ning Shu didn't say anything, but just said that these women are helping in the military camp, just like cooking and mending clothes are all done by these women.
In the end, Shen Feng could only let Ning Shu do what she wanted. With Ning Shu as a precedent, the reason that women cannot stay in the military camp is not effective.
Ning Shu didn't know that the capital had already set off a wave of criticizing her. It was nothing more than saying that her methods were too cruel. In addition, taking in so many women in the army touched the nerves of these pedantic Confucian scholars. Women can go to the battlefield. How can the three obediences and four virtues be used to restrain women in the future?
It is not good to add shackles to women's minds.
The ministers rose up.
Li Wen sat on the dragon throne, his face expressionless, but a hint of smile flashed in his eyes. He read the memorials from the frontiers over and over again, and saw Ning Shu's actions, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
Then he looked at the ministers below and said indifferently: "Well, the means are cruel. How about this, I will send one of you to the frontiers. If you can come back alive, I will dismiss Princess Jiahui."
The ministers: ...
The emperor wants them to die. When facing these ministers, Li Wen's attitude is always dispensable. If one person dies, someone will immediately replace him. Li Wen wishes that all these corrupt ministers would die.
The ministers all shrank their necks and reduced their presence.
Ning Shu received a letter from Li Wen not long after, and there were only two words on it, very good.
Ning Shu immediately understood what Li Wen meant. It seemed that Li Wen agreed with her approach. With Li Wen's support, Ning Shu's heart was more stable.
Now Ning Shu's tent has become a forbidden place for men. In the women's base, women are wearing armor and waving red tassel spears. They are actually quite decent. Ning Shu smiled.
These are the forces left to the original owner. I hope that she will leave this world and the original owner can live a little easier.
Ning Shu is now walking on the majestic city wall, looking at the corpses of the Tartars on the city wall. Looking up, the grassland is vast and there are snow-capped mountains in the distance. Such a magnificent frontier scenery.
Behind Ning Shu followed Cai Sang, who was also in armor. He said to Ning Shu: "Princess, the people of Beimo have such a vast land, why do they want to rob us?"
"Stealing is addictive. It's so easy to get something for nothing. It's hard work to farm. This is not something the Tartars can do." Ning Shu said indifferently.
Probably because Helian Ying was injured, there were no Tartars harassing the border recently. Ning Shu practiced martial arts every day and was still thinking of ways to deal with the Tartar cavalry. The most powerful part of the Tartars is their cavalry, and both their horses and men are fat and strong. We have to find a way to deal with the cavalry. If we really exchange one hundred people for one Northern Desert Tartar, I'm afraid Ning Shu will be so distressed that she will tremble. It's simply piling up human lives.
We will always find a way.
Ning Shu was wandering on the city wall and ran into Duan Xinghui. Duan Xinghui came forward and clasped his fists towards Ning Shu, "I pay my respects to the princess."
Ning Shu hummed coldly and passed Duan Xinghui. Duan Xinghui saw that Princess Jiahui didn't even look at him, and couldn't help saying, "Princess Jiahui, will you go with the Second Prince of Mobei?"
Ning Shu stopped, turned around and frowned at Duan Xinghui, "Guard Duan, this kind of thing doesn't seem to have anything to do with you, and it's not your turn to question what happened between me and the Second Prince of Mobei. If you spread such rumors in the army, be careful that I will take your life."
Duan Xinghui bowed slightly and said to Ning Shu, "I remember this."
Ning Shu snorted coldly and returned to the camp with Cai Sang.
The Tartars only robbed, and the infantry had no advantage over the cavalry.
The sky was covered with heavy snow like goose feathers, and in less than a day, the snowflakes covered everything.
Shen Feng looked very solemn. Usually, in such weather, even cattle and sheep would freeze to death. Now was the time when the Tartars were plundering. He sent soldiers to inquire everywhere and sent many soldiers to guard.
Ning Shu still couldn't think of a way to deal with the cavalry. The most effective way was to use a crossbow to directly shoot the Tartars on horseback.
Shen Feng was not young anymore and had no confidence in winning the battle. He just wanted to do nothing wrong and defend the border.
But Ning Shu wanted to deal a heavy blow to the Tartars and suggested that Shen Feng put large crossbows on the city wall.
Shen Feng nodded to Ning Shu's suggestion and went to make arrangements. Duan Xinghui had been with Shen Feng, busy here and there. When the war was about to start, Duan Xinghui couldn't help but comfort Ning Shu, "Princess, in fact, as long as we defend the city wall, we will win."
Ning Shu was quite speechless. What did Duan Xinghui mean by saying this to her?
Ning Shu was also preparing for the war.
"Princess, please let us go with you this time." Cai Sang pleaded with Ning Shu, "They all want to go with you."
When Ning Shu came out of the tent, she saw the women's army standing in front of her. They were not very beautiful, and they didn't even have a charming figure, but their aura was unmatched even by men.
Their expressions were solemn, and when they saw Ning Shu, they all knelt on one knee on the ground, "Meet the left forward general."
Ning Shu suddenly became full of passion and shouted, "Get up, there will be a big battle soon, are you afraid?"
"No." The woman's voice was not as deep as the man's, and the mixture sounded crisp and moving.
"Start training archery from now on. Archery requires arm strength. Crossbows are the best way to deal with the Tartars. Start training now."
Ning Shu pointed at the target, "Shoot at the target."
Ning Shu first pulled the bow and arrow, and shot directly at the bull's eye with a lot of force, and shot directly through the bull's eye.
