Female barracks.

In fact, there is no female military camp, just more than 75,000 miserable orphans. Their families were massacred by the slaves, and they themselves were plundered by the slaves. Originally, according to the trajectory of history, they would be plundered along with more than 80,000 others.

Like the men who left the country, they were plundered outside the customs and became slaves of the Eight Banners. From now on, they were tortured.

But their fate, like that of Jinan City, had undergone some fundamental changes that day. In order to defend the city, and of course to avoid causing any trouble, they were all concentrated in an open space in the east of the city. On the past day

During the month, these women receive training like soldiers.

"One, two, one..."

Although it only lasted a month, under Li Jingyun's training, these women's formation training was already in shape. In fact, they only practiced standing in military posture and marching in formation (1). Other formations and the like

——There was no training at all.

As soldiers, these female soldiers naturally cannot be dragged into the battlefield. But at first glance, they are really eye-catching. Even Li Jingyun, who is the "commander" of the female military camp, is often surprised by the orderliness of the queue and the change in temperament. In fact,

, this is also the biggest feature of modern military posture training, which can change a person's temperament in a short period of time.

However, military posture and formation training are only part of the training in the female barracks. In addition, they also learn battlefield first aid knowledge such as traumatic bandaging.

"...Acute massive bleeding is one of the important causes of early death due to combat injuries. The first priority during battlefield rescue is to take emergency hemostasis measures to prevent shock and death caused by massive bleeding. The main first aid hemostasis methods include: hand pressure to stop bleeding, stuffing to stop bleeding and washing

, tourniquet..."

In the tent, Wang Zixuan, who was a doctor herself, was teaching the women in the audience the knowledge in the battlefield first aid manual as usual. The manual was sent by the prince's order. Originally, their mission was to defend the city when the Qing army besieged the city.

Bandaging the wounds of the soldiers and treating the injured. These days, she and her sisters have been studying the contents of the manual. However, today the sisters seemed a little distracted. Noticing that they occasionally whispered to each other, Wang Zixuan

Fang stopped and asked.

"What's wrong with everyone today?"

"Returning to Mandarin, I, we were thinking about what kind of family we would be suitable for in two days."

Zhao Erya replied with a red face.

"What kind of family are they? They are all just like us, poor people without family members."

"That's fine. You don't have to worry about being bullied by your mother-in-law and aunt."

"I'm afraid what if someone has crooked eyes and a crooked mouth?..."

"There's really no guarantee that people like that will survive. They've probably been killed by the Jiannu long ago..."

For a while, the female soldiers in the tent discussed "marriage affairs" one after another. They had already given birth to their horoscopes. For these women who had no family members, they understood that getting married might be their best and only destination.

So when the officials told them the matter, they didn't hesitate long and followed the officials' instructions and handed over notes with their names and birthplaces written on them.

Of course, Wang Zixuan knew this very well. She sighed softly in her heart, and a sad look flashed between her eyebrows.

"Sister Zixuan, have you handed over yours?"

Shaking her head, Wang Zixuan said.

"I have been engaged since I was a child. He may still be alive..."

There are also people like Wang Zixuan who have given up due to old engagements or other reasons. There are thousands of people in the camp, but most of them have chosen to leave. After all, in the past month, they have not

They did not wait for their families, or in other words, they witnessed their families being killed by the slaves. Only a few lucky ones were taken home by their families who had found them in Jinan, or they found their brothers, husbands, and relatives in the young men's camp.

The family is reunited.

"Sister Zixuan, Master Xu is definitely still alive..."

The sisters' comfort made Wang Zixuan smile, then she closed the manual and looked at them and said.

"Okay, I won't learn any more today. It's not easy for us sisters, so I just leave a name. In the future, if there is a chance, we will write letters and be sisters for life. I have already told General Li,

When you all have families, you can come to me in the orphanage."

Wang Zixuan forced a smile, put all her worries aside for the time being, and started chatting with her sisters.

While they were chatting, Li Jingyun, the commander of the "female military camp", was thinking about the "dowry" for the female soldiers.

"We are their natal family, so we can't be shabby. In addition to ten taels of silver per person and a piece of cloth, we should also have..."

Seeing her serious look on looking for suitable things on the list to make dowries for the female soldiers, Qian'er, as her personal maid, wondered.

"Miss, do you think they can really be happy?"

"What?"

Li Jingyun looked at Qian'er in confusion. They were master and servant in name, but in fact they were sisters, Li Jingyun said doubtfully.

"happiness?"

"If they just marry a man they don't know, or even met, will they be happy?"

"Isn't it like this throughout the ages? Do you really think it's like what is written in the novel, that Zhang Sheng's love for Cui Yingying in "The Story of Yingying" was not so affectionate in the end, but he gave up in the end..."

Qian'er's doubts left Li Jingyun speechless for a while, and finally she had to change the subject.

"Miss, are these things taken by the Crown Prince?"

"Yes, they were all provided by the Crown Prince's Mansion. I heard that everyone in Dingzhuang Camp was given twenty taels of silver, and both families were given a cow and farm tools and other things. The Crown Prince was really kind and righteous to everyone...

…”

When she saw the young lady's eyes filled with admiration when she mentioned the Crown Prince, Qian'er sighed in her heart. Indeed, the Crown Prince inevitably did this to win over people's hearts, but he was indeed very generous to those people -

-Even though those things were captured, he still rewarded them all to these people.

Looking at the eldest young lady, Qian'er couldn't help but sigh in her heart. The young lady's life was really hard. After all, if it hadn't been for the Donglu invaders, she would have been married to the prince. She never imagined that she had just arrived in Jinan and hadn't waited for things to be done.

It has been postponed until now, even though everyone has become accustomed to calling her the Crown Princess. But after all, she has not really married her yet, she just sent the bride to Jinan, and then it has been postponed until now because of the war.

When will this marriage be re-arranged?

Now that the Crown Prince has not said anything, is it possible that Cheng Cheng has been dragging on like this? Seeing the young lady busying herself with the Crown Prince, Qian'er said tentatively.

"Miss, should I write a letter to the master to urge the young lady to get married..."

Qian'er's words made Li Jingyun stunned for a moment, and then she said.

"The things at the moment are more important. Let's finish our work for a while and then talk about it..."

(1) Different from what many people imagine, women in the Ming Dynasty generally did not have their feet bound, but only had their feet bound. The foot binding was more like a layer of loose socks, just wrapping the feet with cloth and not breaking the bones of the feet (for example, the Russian army

The feet were wrapped for a long time instead of wearing socks). The two queens unearthed from Dingling had normal feet. According to many Ming Dynasty archaeological site discoveries, female corpses in the Ming Dynasty often had normal feet. In Qiu Ying's "Southern Capital Fanhui Scenery Volume"
