The two female soldiers were a pair of sisters. The older one was 17 and the younger one was 15. Apart from them, there was a seven-year-old brother.
After the earthquake last year, Xiangyang district was in the midst of reconstruction. To save some food, the family wanted to sell their two older daughters to a brothel. However, Jiang Pengji was renovating the place at that time. She was in a tight spot and they had no place to sell their daughters even if they wanted to.
Later, they heard that sending their daughters to the women's camp would give them half a tael of silver as compensation, so they "sold" their daughters.
With one tael of silver for the two daughters, the family could save two mouths to feed.
As for their future, even though their mother was worried, she did not dare to show any abnormalities with her mother-in-law watching over her.
Later, the two filial daughters secretly gave their monthly salary to their mother, hoping that she could hide it as her private money. That way, they could speak confidently at home. However, the mother had always liked to please her husband and mother-in-law. She would spill everything once she opened her mouth.
Now, one of the two daughters was promoted to a centurion and the other became a small leader of the medical troops. Their salary was also doubled from before!
The family boasted about it everywhere. Very soon, a matchmaker came to propose marriage. The betrothal gift was very high.
The engaged husband was in his early thirties. Two wives had died. He had four children and his family was somewhat wealthy.
He despised the women on the battlefield, but he liked the status of the female soldiers in the women's camp. He felt that it was easier to talk to someone in the army.
As long as he could help his family, he would marry him and treat him like a god of wealth.
The two families hit it off. Then, they made a scene at the women's camp. They wanted to drag their daughters back to get married.
Jiang Nongqin stopped them and sent an urgent letter to Jiang Pengji at the same time.
Perhaps it was Jiang Nongqin's rather good attitude that gave the unruly people confidence. They were also unreasonable and rude when facing Jiang Pengji.
However, Jiang Pengji was not so easy to talk to. She immediately retorted. Her murderous aura alone was scary enough.
Jiang Pengji chose to ignore the unruly people in a noble and cold manner. She had mixed feelings about the female soldiers.
"Tell me your choice."
The older female soldier bit her lower lip. Her gaze was evasive. She stammered, "I'll listen to you."
Although the district magistrate promised that the female soldiers could set up a household after they retired at the age of 24 and that their children would follow their mother's surname, there was no such thing.
Her mind was a mess, filled with the bombardment of words from her father, mother, and grandmother a few days ago.
As soon as he said that, the viewers in the live stream exploded.
[Sang Que]: "What the f * ck — there's something wrong with this person's brain. She's willing to marry a man who's old enough to be a father. Moreover, he's an old man with two dead wives and four children. Even the host said that he would support them. F * ck!
[Sai Pu]: "My lungs are going to explode! Do they not believe in the host? If I were a streamer, my heart would turn cold.
Miaomiao Daditu: "Don't be so angry. What's the use of scolding them? If it were me, I would go up and slap them."
Akatteris: Bah, do you still remember how the host trained those female soldiers? You're still beating people up? Be careful not to be killed instead.
Xuanyue Zhidie: "I can't take it anymore. My heart is about to collapse. Why doesn't the lady soldier want to believe in the streamer?"
Kneeling Begging for Monthly Tickets: "This is like stabbing a knife into the host's heart! She's now preparing to reveal her identity in the future. She has to vigorously support the female soldiers and let them walk on stage. Now, the lady soldier slapped the host in the face. This is too much! "
Jiang Pengji was not as upset as the viewers in the live stream thought. In fact, she was very calm.
Yes, she was too calm.
Feng Jin looked at Jiang Pengji worriedly and sighed in his heart.
If the women's camp was not Jiang Nongqin's territory, he really wanted to overstep his authority and solve this problem before Jiang Pengji returned.
He understood her temper. She would not be at a disadvantage at all.
If she suffered a small loss, she would definitely seek revenge a thousand times over.
Jiang Pengji calmly moved her gaze away and fell on her younger sister. She asked, "What about you? Like your sister? "
This female soldier was a centurion. According to Jiang Nongqin, she trained very hard every day. Others were resting, but she was still training.
During the siege, her arm was shot by a stray arrow. She gritted her teeth and pulled the arrow out. She stopped the bleeding hastily and continued to fight.
She was very stubborn. Jiang Nongqin secretly wanted to train her as the deputy captain of the women's camp.
The female soldier looked at Jiang Pengji anxiously. Her grandmother secretly stared at her as if she could eat her up.
"I don't want to. I don't want to marry and have children like my sister." She said in a panic, "Didn't the district magistrate promise that female soldiers can retire at the age of 24? Their household registration will be independent, and their children can follow their mother's surname? Therefore, I don't want to marry … "
Compared to being pinched by her grandmother at home, she preferred to fight with knives, spears, swords, and halberds.
Only then did she feel that she belonged to herself and was free.
Jiang Pengji suddenly smiled and said, "I know. I will naturally do what I promised."
"You wicked girl. Are you trying to anger me to death?!"
The old woman ignored the situation and reached out to pinch the girl's waist.
She had thick and long white nails. If she pinched her flesh, it would be extremely painful just thinking about it.
Pa —
The transparent glass was thrown to the ground. The broken pieces splashed all over the ground. The old woman was so shocked that her eyelids twitched.
Jiang Pengji turned her head and asked Feng Jin, "What's the punishment for attacking a soldier in public?"
Feng Jin answered, "She should be flogged three times."
Jiang Pengji said, "Yes, write it down."
She waved at the young female soldier and gestured for her to sit in the lower seat.
Jiang Pengji said calmly, "A country has its laws and a family has its rules. The military camp is a place of strict discipline. You know what kind of place the women's camp is. When you send your daughter here, do you remember to sign a document? The document clearly states that female soldiers under the age of 24 are not allowed to get married or get pregnant. Those who violate this rule and incite them to do so will be flogged a hundred times and executed in public. If a female soldier insists on marrying, she will be expelled from the military and will never be employed again. "
This time, the faces of the people who were kneeling below changed. The older female soldier's face was even paler.
"As for you … You're very good. You didn't disappoint the captain of the women's camp." She looked at the younger female soldier. "You've reminded me of something. It's true that I've neglected this matter. You're not even 20 years old. It's still a bit early for you to get married. However, the matter of the household registration should be dealt with. From now on, all female soldiers in the women's camp will have their household registration removed from their original household registration and set up their own household! "
In Jiang Pengji's eyes, people were people. As long as they could be used, it didn't matter if they were men or women.
In her eyes, those who could not be used by her were no different from trash.
Jiang Pengji said coldly, "Huaiyu, execute according to the contents of the contract for the women's camp. There's no need to talk nonsense with them."
Feng Jin sighed. He knew it would be such a situation.
Not to mention a hundred floggings, the bodies of these people would suffer from a dozen floggings.
He said, "Yes, my lord. I just don't know, who is the main instigator? "
