What was annoying was that after soaking in the medicinal herbs provided by the military camp, their muscles were no longer so sore. They couldn't even find an excuse to be lazy.
It was still winter. If they didn't want to freeze to death, they could only keep exercising to generate heat. If they fell behind, they might be buried in the snow and freeze to death. Their lord also warned them that if anyone froze to death in the snow, she wouldn't be responsible.
They could either lie down and freeze to death or grit their teeth and get up.
No one wanted to die. Even ants wanted to live, let alone these young girls from poor families.
Faced with the crisis of survival during training, everyone was full of energy and would occasionally help each other.
If you help me this time, I'll help you next time. I promise to survive every dark day.
With the increase in training, their appetite would definitely increase. Their appetite was like that of a kitten. Now, it was as if they were fighting to be reincarnated.
Jiang Pengji's attitude toward the female soldiers was quite strict. It could even be considered harsh. The male soldiers felt chills down their spines when they saw it.
Others couldn't bear to hurt them, but Jiang Pengji wouldn't go easy on them.
Once she gave these young girls the illusion that they would get preferential treatment if they acted coquettishly and pitifully, they wouldn't really work hard. Instead, they would be fearless. Regardless of whether it was women or men, they all had a natural laziness in their bones.
Jiang Pengji couldn't let this laziness sprout. Instead, she had to kill it in the cradle.
Therefore, Jiang Pengji didn't show any mercy from beginning to end. Her heart was as hard as iron. She didn't even show a trace of gentleness.
Unlike the male camp, apart from basic physical training and weapons training, there was no military drill in the female camp. Instead, there was a course on first aid skills. She recruited one of the doctors she hired to be the temporary lecturer. Not only did he have to impart the first aid knowledge and skills that Jiang Pengji had created, but he also had to teach them basic medical skills.
At first, the doctor thought it was a fantasy. However, when there was a high reward, there would always be brave men. The doctor gave in.
It was like this every day for more than two months.
"I believe it now … She's preparing to use women as men …"
It had been more than two months since Jiang Pengji taught the new recruits a lesson. The female soldiers in the female camp had undergone earth-shaking changes.
His slender figure and timid expression were gone, replaced by a well-proportioned figure and a serious expression.
Girls nowadays were about 1.5 to 1.6 meters tall. Very few were taller than that. Jiang Pengji was an exception.
Due to the large amount of training and sufficient nutrition, these little girls had the tendency to continue to grow.
After nightfall, the female soldiers had some free time. Ten people to a tent, and the beds were all next to each other.
Hearing the girl in the same tent grumble, the other female soldiers couldn't help but complain.
"Even men aren't that pitiful, right? I have a brother who is also in the men's barracks. I heard he has it much easier than us. "
The ten girls were silent for a while, and the atmosphere was eerily quiet. After a while …
"I heard that the district headquarters recruited women to serve the men. It scared me to death …"
They were all unmarried girls. They didn't understand the relationship between men and women, but they knew what a "prostitute" was.
How could a girl from a pure family be willing to lower herself to become a lowly prostitute?
A female soldier who was lying in a warm blanket said softly.
"… Now … I don't know if I should be happy … or cry …"
They should be happy that they didn't have to be prostitutes, but they had been crying all this time.
Every day, they almost crawled back to their tents. A few of them hid in their blankets and cried bitterly.
The female soldier from before turned over and lied on her stomach. "I heard my brother say … our salaries will be coming tomorrow …"
"We have salaries?" Everyone was stunned. Why didn't they know about it?
"Yes, my brother accidentally heard it. He said that everyone gets a hundred copper coins and two buckets of rice a month …"
This was not a high standard, but considering that the female soldiers used the barracks for food, drink, and clothing, it wasn't low.
"Is this news accurate?" the others quickly asked.
"It should be accurate. After all, we are soldiers too. According to the lord, we have to go to the battlefield to kill enemies in the future. Otherwise, why do we learn these things? " Speaking of this, the female soldier added with a smile, "I heard that in the barracks next door, everyone receives the same salary as us."
At this moment, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl shrunk her neck and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid of death."
Another said, "Look at what you're saying. Who isn't afraid of death? When I was sent here by my stepmother, I wanted to just die like that … But now, I can go to the battlefield and kill enemies. If I accidentally make military contributions in the future, I might even be able to become a female general. Just like those novels in the past, how awe-inspiring. "
"Is this okay?"
"Their salaries are the same as those men. Why is it different if they make military contributions?"
The group of young girls thought silently. It didn't seem impossible.
At this moment, a girl lying in the innermost part of the tent spoke.
"I'd rather die on the battlefield than go home. If I go home, I might be sold to some ugly man as a wife. I'll be beaten every day and live worse than the pigs at home … It's better to beat people, it hurts too much …"
Speaking of beating people, these young girls had something to talk about.
"My sister was beaten to death by her mother-in-law. After marrying into their family, she didn't have a day of rest. She would be slapped every time she ate a few more mouthfuls of food. If she was late to work in the fields, she would be beaten even harder. Later, when she was nine months pregnant, her mother-in-law still beat her. She sprained her ankle and fell to the ground. That old b * tch said she was pretending. In the end, the child and sister died … That old b * tch was fine … "
"If I get married in the future, whoever dares to beat me will be beaten to the ground!"
"Hee hee, can you beat them? Those old men are really strong … "
"Learn well now. If you can't beat them, do you want to be beaten? What if you're beaten to death? "
"Come on, they don't have much strength. We don't have enough to eat all day, why would we be afraid of a weakling? "
Chatting before bed was almost the only fun for the female soldiers.
The training during the day was heavy, and there were people patrolling at night, so they fell asleep very quickly.
The next day, there were indeed people carrying food and copper coins.
This news made the female soldiers excited. Each of them received 200 coins and four buckets of rice.
That was two months' worth of salary.
Before they could get over their excitement, Jiang Pengji, who had traumatized everyone, appeared. Many of them subconsciously shivered.
"Have all of you received your salary?" she asked.
More than two months was enough for the female soldiers to know Jiang Pengji's character. When answering questions, they must shout and answer loudly.
