Chapter 497 Who Says Women Are Not as Good as Men (Part 1)

Sun Tu now has the prestige of saying a word in the army. Although everyone was a little vague about his idea of ​​recruiting women as soldiers today, they could not give any reason to object. In the end, they could only try it out and let the wind out first.

However, although his subordinates did not object, some people still expressed their doubts, that is Hu Rong. After everyone dispersed, she looked at Sun Tu hesitantly: "Third Brother, are you too hasty to do this? How could you let the woman go to fight to kill the enemy? You also want to form them into a first army. If this is spread, I am afraid that everyone in the world will laugh at you and the Qingzhou army."

Sun Tu looked at her with a smile for a moment, and saw Hu Rong's pretty face dizzy. He shook his head and sighed: "Sanniang, why did you have such thoughts? I remember very clearly. When you talked to Zhu Biao in Qingdian Town, you mentioned that women are not weaker than men and can achieve success. Why did your thoughts retreat in just two years?"

Hu Rong was stunned when she heard this: "I... I was just angry with Zhu Biao at the beginning, but I never had such an idea..." As she said that, she remembered Sun Tu's remarks at that time. It was her remarks that supported her and believed that women and men were equal, which made her feel good about him, and even reached such an unstoppable point today.

Sun Tu smiled: "Then let me ask you, are you willing to set an example for women in the world and let people in the world know that even when it comes to killing enemies on the battlefield, women will not be weaker than men?"

"What do you mean?" Hu Rong's face became more and more surprised. After a moment, she exclaimed softly: "Are you planning to make me a general in this female army?"

Sun Tu nodded seriously: "That's right. Since women are recruited into the army, their generals should of course be the only ones. Not only are the generals in the head, but all the positions in this army are selected from the women who join the army. I will also give them official positions and the same military pay as male soldiers... In short, female soldiers and male soldiers will be treated equally here!"

Hu Rong blinked her eyes and looked at Sun Tu with a serious face. This time she was truly convinced that the other party had already made a decision, and for a moment she didn't know what to say. Finally, she could only nod and said, "If the third brother really has such a mind, I will definitely help you!"

"You are not helping me, but helping yourself and the women in the world. So that the people in the world know that women are not allowed to take care of their husbands and children at home and do some insignificant trivial matters. They can also make contributions to the country and kill enemies on the front line!" Sun Tu said again as he stared at her eyes.

Hu Rong looked back at him and her face turned a little redder. But this time it was no longer because of shyness, but because of excitement. In fact, she was not convinced by men when she was young, and her father valued her two brothers far better than herself, so she worked hard to practice martial arts and had the skills she had today. However, her habits over the years still made her take many things for granted. It was not until Sun Tu woke her up today that she had more ideas!

This made Hu Rong's admiration for Sun Tu a little deeper, and after a while, he nodded vigorously: "I understand. Third brother, I will train this army well and make them the best in my Qingzhou army!"

"Well said, I believe you will definitely do all this in Sanniang." Sun Tu smiled happily, and finally someone was convinced by him. Then he said softly: "In the past, people always said that beauty matches a hero, just like a woman can only be a vassal of men, but I don't think so. Why can't a hero who is like-minded and tied the knot? Isn't such a relationship longer than unilateral admiration?"

This was quite obvious, and it made Hu Rong's excitement grow stronger. He nodded vigorously at the moment. Sun Tu is already a great hero, so he should work harder and become the heroine who can be compared with him. Only in this way can he marry him openly!

At this time, Sun Tu, who was laughing happily because of Hu Rong's firm gaze, never thought that his words would make him the argument for female boxers in a thousand years, and were regarded by these people as one of the founders of Chinese feminism.

After convinced everyone around him, Sun Tu decisively put his decision into action. Soon the city began to post notices to recruit female soldiers. At the same time, there were people spreading relevant decisions all over the city, hoping to gain the support of the people.

But this time, Sun Tu lost his hand in Qingzhou for the first time. After the news spread, the people in the city naturally talked about it, but there were very few responders. After a dozen days, there were only seven or eight women who signed up for the military camp to join the army, and an average of less than one per day. The men's military camp there have been dozens of people in the past few days.

Although this result was much beyond Sun Tu's expectations, it was not surprising after thinking about it carefully. Because this matter was too shocking to hear. From ancient times, there was really no army formed by women. In this era of strict ethics, many women even had difficulty going out, let alone let them enter the military camp and practice with a large number of men. This is something that no one can accept, even if it was an order issued by Sun Dujian.

Not only that, in the next few days, even more absurd statements had spread in the city. Huang Wenbing, who heard the rumor, quickly found Sun Tu reported: "The capital magistrate, there are rumors everywhere in the city now, saying that you have bad intentions to recruit women into the army."

"Hmm?" Sun Tu has been busy with various military affairs and government affairs these days and hasn't paid much attention to the rumors outside. He heard this and only waved his hand casually: "Just it's just a rumor, just don't listen to it."

"The rumor is unusual this time. People are rumoring that you want to recruit women into the military camp, but you are not meant to recruit female soldiers, but in fact, you want to recruit them as military prostitutes. Some people even suggested that this is the rumor that you are full and warm, and you plan to find a woman in Qingzhou for yourself." In contrast to Sun Tu's indifferentness, Huang Wenbing seemed particularly serious at this time. This is related to Sun Tu's reputation here, and you must not be rude.

It was not until he finished speaking that Sun Tu's brows frowned tightly: "There is such a statement? Who is deliberately spreading rumors? What a courage!"

"Now many people in the city are rumoring this matter. The people are already resistant to recruiting women into the military camp, so..." Huang Wenbing hesitated whether to take this opportunity to persuade Sun Tu to take back Cheng's life, because this matter is indeed too unreliable. If it continues, it will only ruin Sun Tu's reputation even more.

Sun Tu immediately understood his intention and shook his head and said, "The more this time, the less we can't retreat, otherwise it will only make the people believe that statement more!"

"But..." Huang Wenbing said bitterly: "Now there are all kinds of strange things in the city. This has a very bad impact on the capital magistrate. Although there are a lot of men who have entered the military camp in two days because of this statement, it still seems that the gain is not worth it in the eyes of the Xiaguan."

When Sun Tu heard this, he laughed at it. He didn't expect that this statement would have unexpected effects, but then he said solemnly: "I have a clear conscience, why do you need to change this decision? After all, the reason why the people have so many rumors is because they have too much prejudice about women joining the army. As long as we establish the example, these rumors will naturally be broken without attacking them!"

"But now there are less than ten female soldiers in the military camp who can handle it?"

"Then increase publicity so that the women in the city know that they can defend their country like men." Sun Tu's thoughts turned and he had corresponding countermeasures: "Do you think women in the city are willing to become vassals of men forever and live their lives in an ordinary way?"

"Ah?" Huang Wenbing couldn't keep up with his rhythm this time.

Sun Tu immediately took the paper and handed it to the other party: "I said you remember, the people have such reactions just because there is no precedent to follow, so let me tell them something about ancient times. In fact, as early as the Southern and Northern Dynasties, there was a feat of a woman joining the army on behalf of her father and killing the enemy for the country. You have heard of Mulan, you have heard of Mulan, that Mulan is such a hero among women. She is in the army..." Sun Tu immediately told the memories of the movies and TV series he watched in later generations, all of which were the stories of Mulan joining the army and killing the enemy.

Although Huang Wenbing was a little surprised, he quickly recorded these details according to Sun Tu's intentions. Although he wanted to ask if these were true or made up by the general manager, he finally endured it. During this period, Sun Tu also retelled the widely circulated Henan Opera singing style "Who said women are inferior to men", which made Huang Wenbing stunned.

After telling the story of Mulan, Sun Tu said again: "Not only in ancient times, but also in this dynasty there were wonderful stories of women serving the country to kill enemies and serve the country. It was a heroic story about the Yang family generals..." The story of the female general of the Yang family and the Thirteen Widows expedition was revealed again.

This time, Huang Wenbing was convinced that Sun Tu was making a fool of himself. In the dynasty of Emperor Zhenzong, there were indeed Yang's military generals who sacrificed their lives for the country for several generations, but where did Taijun She and a female hero like Mu Guiying actually fought with Xixia for years. If this were the case, the Song Dynasty would have been destroyed long ago.

But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that these stories were indeed wonderful and inspiring enough. Even though he knew they were all fabricated, he heard Sun Tu say that a man from the Yang family died and was on the throne of the thirteenth widow went on the war, and he still felt that his blood was pouring out and he wanted to applaud. Once these stories were spread to the people, they might really make the people change their inherent ideas.

"You can spread the stories of these two female heroes first, and then let people stare at them. If someone dares to spread rumors, they will be punished for me!" After Sun Tu finished speaking, he ordered again.
