Zhou Baoer's self-reliance as king seemed to have started something extraordinary. In a short period of time, many people from all over the country had raised their banners.
The talented people in the world seem to have made a choice at the same time, and they are each moving towards the place where they want to realize their ambitions.
Of course, there are also many who have lived in seclusion in various places, waiting for price, waiting for the final judgment.
There are also many people coming to seek refuge with Zhou Baoer, but Qiuyang's existence is really inconspicuous.
Qiuyang knew what his abilities were, so he immediately applied to join the army.
Zhou Baoer is different from others. There are men and women in the army. Especially in the process of military training, there is never a distinction between men and women. Those who deserve to be beaten are beaten equally, and those who deserve to be beaten are beaten equally. No one has any privileges and can only obey military orders.
Some people may wonder if anything will happen if men and women stay together.
Qiu Yang once had doubts about this issue, but after actually entering the military camp, he discovered that although the male and female soldiers trained together, they lived in separate rooms at night.
The most important thing is that the training tasks of each general are particularly heavy. You can't rest until it's finished. Even after finishing, there is little ability to do certain things that should not be done.
But I have to mention that the food in the barracks is particularly delicious. There is meat, vegetables, rice, rice, and soup, and there are a lot of spices in it. It tastes delicious when you eat it.
Of course, it is definitely not as good as the food carefully prepared by the chefs in those restaurants. However, it is definitely a hundred times more delicious than the wheat, rice, beans and rice served by other armies.
Qiuyang has suffered a lot over the years and suffered a lot of sins. Although the training tasks in the army were a bit uncomfortable, it was just a piece of cake for her.
After a period of training and learning the laws and regulations of the army, she was promoted by Shangguan and became a small official in charge of the new female soldiers.
At this stage, we have a good starting point, but Qiuyang feels that it is not enough. She wants to become a general, a more powerful general than her father.
One day, she will return to the capital in glory, take her mother out of the deep mansion, and live a free and happy life.
After the hottest period of the year, Zhou Baoer listened to everyone's opinions and started heading north.
but…
"Didn't we agree to fight? Why can't I go?"
Pei Xuanli knocked on the table and replied coldly: "A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall."
Zhou Baoer curled his lips and retorted.
"I will not be in danger at any time."
Pei Xuanli looked up at her and said again.
"I believe what you say, but others won't."
Zhou Baoer sighed, lying on the table in frustration, losing his temper as a little girl.
"Those are the soldiers I trained so hard, why should I hand them over to others?"
Pei Xuanli snorted coldly and said earnestly.
"That's no one else, that's your classmate. Although Haonan has limited legs and feet, there is no doubt about his strength."
Zhou Baoer sighed and nodded reluctantly.
Pei Xuanli then said: "What are you doing with this attitude? You have to try to believe him."
Zhou Baoer raised his head and said in a resentful tone.
"Master, I have never doubted his strength."
Yang Yiyi emerged from the side and asked with a smile.
"Then why do you look so reluctant? Say it first, don't think about going to war. Look at the history books and see which emperor went to the front line to fight. If something happens to you, what will happen to our ideals? What to do? What to do about our future?"
Zhou Baoer glanced at the other party and replied.
"I remember Brother Luo's parents are still in the capital. If anyone knows that he is going to lead troops to fight, then..."
"Please don't worry, Your Majesty. I have already taken care of this matter. After the death of the late emperor, I will ensure that no one knows the identity of General Luo."
Feng Yao stood up calmly and spoke softly.
Zhou Baoer nodded to her, picked up an official document and continued to correct it.
Sun Caixia looked left and right and asked in a low voice.
"Weren't you still complaining just now? Why are you starting to work honestly now?"
Zhou Baoer raised his head, smiled, and replied.
"The matter has been decided. Nothing I say will help."
Sun Caixia curled her lips and said in disgust.
"You are too bad at being a king. It's not good at all."
Pei Xuanli patted Sun Caixia on the head and cursed.
"What nonsense are you talking about? As a superior, you should be careful in your words and deeds. If you don't listen to advice and only act willfully, that is not the behavior of a wise king."
Sun Caixia nodded and said awkwardly.
"Master, that's not what I meant. Actually, I want to say that Bao'er is indeed very suitable to be a king."
After hearing this, Zhou Baoer shook his head gently and continued to complete his unfinished work.
On the front line, Luo Haonan was sitting in a wheelchair, doing a secret work.
This job was quietly handed over to him by Yang Yiyi when the army was setting off. After seeing it, he thought it was a good contribution and happily accepted it. And I plan to write a note to Yang Yiyi when I return in triumph one day and ask for credit.
Immediately, Luo Haonan sent people to carry stones one after another on the mountain, and asked a certain wizard who came over to turn them into powder.
Next, Shu Yingtian and Liu Hong worked together to raise and lower the temperature, and then mixed it with water to make something called cement.
At this point, the matter is not over yet. Luo Haonan had people make square boards one after another, and then under the strong sun, they formed huge cement boards.
In recent years, a toy has appeared in Huai'an. It consists of a board with two sides turned up and four wheels. It is called a skateboard.
If the materials used to make it are good and the load-bearing capacity is particularly high, a sturdy man can roll forward with ease even if he can carry hundreds of kilograms of stuff.
Luo Haonan cleverly used skateboarding in this war, which surprised many people.
It turned out that he sent a large number of people to carry cement slabs and skateboard to pave the road. In just one night, dozens of miles of road were paved.
It looks simple, but it’s actually not difficult to do. Put the cement boards together like a jigsaw puzzle, and then slide the skateboard across them, very easily.
Therefore, when the soldiers and generals guarding the city, the destination of this war, woke up, they found one after another sitting under the city gate. Couples gathered together, chatting and eating, living a relaxed and happy life.
The soldiers guarding the city were startled. Although they had known that someone would attack them, it was too soon! They haven't heard anything during this period of time, otherwise they wouldn't be able to take a nap in peace of mind.
Although he was almost scared to wet his pants, someone still dutifully reported it to the superior officer.
One by one, the officials woke up from their sleep, equally frightened by the news. They quickly mobilized their connections, hoping that someone would come to rescue them.
As the saying goes, soldiers are valuable and quick, and Luo Haonan truly achieved this. In addition, for some reason, there was no army guarding this city at all, so it was easily captured.
There was no bloodshed during this process. Because as soon as those people saw so many troops here, they opened the city gate due to various concerns.
The army led by Luo Haonan is very reasonable, speaks kindly to ordinary people, and does not take advantage of the masses. Not to mention he doesn’t beat people, he doesn’t curse people, he doesn’t arrest young men, he doesn’t molest women, he doesn’t commit adultery and plunder, he is more of a gentleman than a gentleman.
This performance made the people who had just captured the city breathe a sigh of relief. At least in this case, their lives and property are protected.
The officials and members of the small aristocratic family didn't quite understand what the military couple was thinking. After discovering that they had done nothing, they gave some silver coins and the food was used as the main military expenditure.
Luo Haonan accepted it of course, but he lent them a lot of credit. As for how to deal with these people, that's not what he should do.
When Zhou Baoer got the news, he naturally sent someone to take over the city immediately. Just do whatever you want to do, and pay attention to doing things in accordance with the law and governing the country in accordance with the law.
After Luo Haonan captured three cities in a row, he finally encountered a hard persimmon. He immediately cheered up and treated all the soldiers seriously.
Qiu Yang was sitting in the military camp holding a big knife, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
A woman next to him sighed and said.
"If only they would surrender obediently, we wouldn't have to shed blood or sweat."
Qiuyang raised his eyes and said seriously.
"You should have known on the first day you came to the military camp that we are soldiers now and may die at any time. Otherwise, do you think that by entertaining you with delicious food and drinks every day, you are here to enjoy your life?"
The woman took a deep breath and said aggrievedly.
"I know what you're saying, but if we don't have to fight, don't fight. Isn't that good? People die in war, and I will always feel sad when I see my compatriots die on the battlefield."
Qiuyang was silent for a moment and persuaded.
"Don't always have such a lucky idea. People will die in wars. There are always some hard-core people who don't want to see a woman become emperor, and they will try their best to stop us."
The woman said: "I know all this, and I will do my best to safeguard the king's rule. I once heard someone say that whenever a woman is the emperor or regent, the woman's status will be higher than other times."
Qiuyang smiled and nodded, lowered his head again, rubbing the big knife in his hand.
A few days later, she returned to the military camp, looked at the empty bed, and sighed helplessly.
The woman who shared the tent with her finally fulfilled what she had said before. Use your life to maintain the king's rule and create an opportunity for women in the world.
In the government office, Luo Haonan was sitting in a wheelchair with a decadent look on his face, talking to himself.
"Now I finally understand why some generals like to massacre the city after destroying it. So many brothers and sisters have died, how can we not vent our anger by killing people?"
Some of the surrounding generals were startled and quickly spoke to stop him. Massacre of a city is something that is condemned by God and must never be done.
