"What!"

The screams in the study made the maids outside the door look at each other in confusion. They knew without looking at each other that it must be the Crown Princess and the Crown Prince who were quarreling. It seemed that they were always prone to quarrels these days.

"Mass wedding? Let them marry those men! What's the point of this?"

Li Jingyun stared at the prince and asked loudly. In the past month, she had long regarded the tens of thousands of female soldiers in the camp as her sisters. She even went out of her way to express her gratitude after seeing the prince's training methods that day.

She got a copy of the military training instructions from the prince, and studied how to teach the female soldiers "military posture". Just as she watched those heroic female soldiers gradually gaining momentum, she imagined how brave she would be as a female general.

When she was Yingzi, the Crown Prince's decision was like a slap in the face, knocking her so hard that she didn't even recover for a long time.

"Then, that can be like this. They are already lonely. How can they, how can they, decide life-long events at will..."

"Oh, Jingyun, think about it, since they are lonely, now letting them get married can be regarded as a destination. After all, these women can't always gather in the camp to serve as soldiers. After all, I am a clan member, so I can't

The leader..."

Looking at Li Jingyun who looked like her beloved thing had been taken away, Zhu Guoqiang comforted her.

"Besides, we will also ask for their opinions. If they don't want to, they don't have to participate. We will never force them..."

Li Jingyun, who knew that what the prince said was true, sighed deeply in her heart and said again.

"I'm sure, she, there must be many of them who don't want to. When the time comes, you can't force them!"

"That's for sure. We are that kind of people. Besides, they are both poor people who have lost their families. They will definitely cherish each other. Don't worry!"

I hope so!

In fact, the reason why Zhu Guoqiang did this was naturally due to his own selfish motives.

He was the eldest son of a vassal prince. Under the strict "vassal ban", at least when Chongzhen was still the emperor, it was impossible for him to maintain an army of tens of thousands of men. Even once the Qing army retreated, the militia of men and women would be destroyed.

He must be dismissed, otherwise the court will certainly hold him accountable. Therefore, he needs to consider how to maintain this group.

Benefit!

Interest is the best choice to maintain a group.

Therefore, Zhu Guoqiang has been considering this issue almost from the day Du Du withdrew his troops. He granted all the soldiers of the "legion" land and houses. Of course, this was also because of the massacre by the Manchu invaders.

A large area of ​​land has been vacated. Through this grant, a privileged class with interests can be immediately established. Although this measure has some hidden dangers, one thing that is certain is that in the context of real interests, five years later, when Li Zicheng

When he enters Beijing and the Qing army enters the customs, these tens of thousands of men who have been granted land will be his strongest supporters. This is also a necessary measure for him to ensure his own safety.

Even the land granted to them is bound to serve as an example, using the power of example to attract those who come after you, and make them believe that if you follow the prince, you will definitely not suffer, and you will have land and land... Now there are still women

, Where can you find such a good thing in the world?

"Actually, this is also for their own good. You know, the female military camp will eventually be disbanded. After all, I am the prince of the vassal and cannot be in charge of the army..."

"Then, will all my female soldiers be disbanded?"

For Li Jingyun, who has not yet finished her addiction to female generals, even if she understands the truth, she will still be reluctant to part with her.

"You promised me..."

Realizing that the existence of the female barracks would bring a lot of trouble to Zhu Guoqiang, Li Jingyun finally stopped talking.

Seeing that she seemed a little depressed, Zhu Guoqiang changed the topic.

"Jingyun, what do you want to do here?"

"Is something wrong?"

After being stunned for a moment, Jingyun shook her head and said.

"It's no longer needed,"

Only then did Zhu Guoqiang notice that she was holding several pieces of paper in her hand, so he took it over and looked at it. On the paper, there were clothes drawn with a pen.

"This is?"

Staring at the familiar uniforms on the paper, Zhu Guoqiang said doubtfully.

"Military uniforms, I originally saw that the military uniforms you made for the riflemen were very nice, and I wanted to customize a few military uniforms for the female soldiers. It seemed that the original clothes were not suitable for military wear, so I thought... now too

no need."

"Why don't you need it?"

Putting the paper patterns away, Zhu Guoqiang comforted him.

"When the time comes, there will definitely be many female soldiers who are unwilling, and there are still so many war orphans in Jinan. So, I am thinking that maybe we can build an orphan care camp and let the female soldiers take care of them. This

How about I leave the matter to you?"

If you don't want a person to think wildly, the best way is to keep him busy.

"I?"

Li Jingyun opened her eyes wide and said doubtfully.

"Manage the orphanage? Can I do it?"

"This is no ordinary orphanage!"

Shaking his head, Zhu Guoqiang said.

"This orphanage is more like a juvenile military academy than an orphanage."

"Youth Military Academy?"

Li Jingyun looked at the prince in confusion.

"Yes, those orphans have nowhere to go, so I am thinking of sending them all to school. The orphans who enter the school will receive formal military education and training. In addition to learning the basic knowledge of general education, they will also learn more

Children aged 11 or 12 are very malleable when it comes to military knowledge and mastery of military skills. Boys, in particular, have had a strong interest in serving as soldiers and practicing martial arts since childhood. In addition, they are young and have quick receptivity, so it is easy for them to accept basic military knowledge...

"

This is Zhu Guoqiang's reference to the tradition of Russia, another world. The tradition of running a juvenile military academy has a long history in Russia. The first juvenile military academy was established in 1730 and was called the Junior Arms School. The purpose was to educate those who like guns and have military potential.

Boys and war orphans received formal military education from an early age. During World War II, in order to raise war orphans, the Soviet Russian government restored the tradition of running military training schools in the Russian period. Those military training schools lasted 7 years. Later, the juvenile military school became a training

The cradle of military preparation talents. Explaining the significance of establishing the "Youth Military Academy", Zhu Guoqiang looked at Li Jingyun and said in a serious tone.

"Jingyun, you know, the world is in chaos now, there are bandits everywhere, and bandits invade from time to time, and these orphans are the capital for you and me to survive in troubled times. After all, with a few years to receive military education,

In a few years they will not only be orphans, but officers!"

officer!

This is also a method that Zhu Mingzhong thought about after thinking for a long time. Maybe he can't maintain an army in the next five years, but he can use "raising orphans" to train an officer corps in five years!

Li Jingyun, who was born into a family of hereditary commanders, didn't know the importance of military officers. She said this almost immediately without confidence.

"Can I do it?"

"If you don't try, how can you do it? Besides..."

Looking at Li Jingyun with a smile, Zhu Guoqiang said with a smile.
Chapter completed!
