"Is the fight over?"
Jiang Pengji asked the guard who was kneeling below. Her eyes were indifferent.
The guard said, "The execution has been completed."
"Well, you may leave." Jiang Pengji sighed. She felt that she should strengthen the ideological education of the female soldiers. She originally wanted to influence them subtly, but now it seemed that it was not possible. She had to use a violent method. "Let the female department of the government office write down the cause and effect of this matter and post it on the city wall. Try to describe it from a fair point of view. Don't mix personal emotions and opinions."
Since she wanted to punish the chicken to warn the monkey, she could not easily let go of this opportunity. She also needed to expand the scope of the news and let all those who had such evil thoughts give up on these ideas as soon as possible. She did not want to receive similar news tomorrow or the day after. It was simply terrible.
The army was the weapon of the country. Once they entered the army camp, they should focus on the overall situation and act according to the military law.
However, the current situation of the society was that clan and blood ties were the most important. Even the country could be put aside. The audience in the streaming room felt that it was ridiculous for the people to drag their daughters back to get married. In fact, it was very normal. They regarded their children as private possessions. It was the parents' right to deal with them.
Didn't they see that selling their children was the norm?
Not to mention her society, even in the society of the audience in the streaming room, was it not illegal for parents to sell their children?
But in this society, all the behavior of parents towards their children was allowed and legal. It could not be considered a crime at all. It was not even wrong.
"Huaiyu, help me write a notice …" Jiang Pengji said.
Feng Jin asked, "About the household registration of the female soldiers?"
"Yes, it is indeed about this matter. I was muddle-headed before and did not consider the overall situation. Compared to the promise I gave to the family of the female soldiers, they are naturally more willing to believe in their family. Otherwise, the female soldier just now would not have been so easily persuaded. It is still too early to get married, but the household registration can be put on the agenda. At least let them see my determination, lest they have worries and let their imagination run wild. "
She did not need to check to know that there must be a lot of messy voices in the female camp now, which would shake the stability of the army.
It was actually a good thing that the family came to make trouble.
It was ready-made material to punish the chicken to warn the monkeys.
Jiang Pengji could use this excuse to beat down those who had disloyalty and appease the hearts of the people in the female camp.
If the army's morale was lax, it would be difficult to lead the troops.
Feng Jin was stunned for a moment and then immediately nodded. "I will do it now.
Jiang Pengji said, "Thank you."
Based on Feng Jin's attitude in the past, it was obvious that he did not support the female battalions and women in politics. Otherwise, they would not have maintained a simple friendship in the beginning. If not for the earthquake in Dongqing, Feng Jin might not have been willing to help her sincerely. After all, she was a woman.
Feng Jin suddenly smiled. "You're being too serious, my lord."
The news of the female soldier sisters quickly spread. Many people who didn't have time to make a scene were frightened.
If they were a step faster and wanted to sell their daughters in the women's camp, they would be the ones who would be beaten up.
That was a total of 100 paddles. There were many people in the family, so they wouldn't be beaten to death. But for those with fewer people, wouldn't someone die?
Some rejoiced, some mocked, and some gloated.
What happened to the female soldier's sister was a wake-up call for everyone in the women's camp. It was also a wake-up call for their families.
After entering the military camp, one could not get married or get pregnant before the age of 24. Violators would have to bear the punishment of 100 strokes and a fine of varying amounts. When Jiang Pengji clearly stated this rule, naturally, no one dared to make a fuss.
She knew the principle of giving a carrot after a stick. In order to appease the people in the women's camp, she announced that she would start to deal with the matter of the independence of the female battalion's household registration. In this era, the military registration was a notch lower than that of a commoner. Daughters from good families were not willing to marry soldiers.
However, the military registration that Jiang Pengji set up was different. The compensation and various arrangements for the orphans and family members after the war were very perfect. Soldiers of different ranks could receive different salaries. There was even a certain discount in the purchase of land and houses.
If the officers and soldiers unfortunately died in the war, their family members and orphans could be properly arranged. If they were disabled due to the war, the government would arrange a job for them to make a living. If they were too seriously injured and could not do physical labor, the government would also allocate a certain amount of subsistence to ensure their livelihood. For such families, the family members could receive additional care, such as a certain discount for their children's schooling or a reduction in the tax on the land …
Jiang Pengji listed out all the contents that she could think of. Then, she asked the people in the government office to modify and amend these regulations.
Feng Jin looked at these and was stunned for a long time.
When he returned home, Wei Jingxian carried Changsheng and fed her. Seeing her husband's face full of shame, she could not help but say a few words of concern.
Feng Jin said, "I'm just ashamed. Lanting's boldness and ambition are indeed so shameful that I have no place to show my face."
Post-war compensation. Throughout history, very few people mentioned it.
Soldiers did not have anyone to rely on when they went to war. Otherwise, why would the people panic when conscription was mentioned and treat them like wolves and leopards?
After all, there were only a few people who made contributions. Most people still died in the war in obscurity or were left with lifelong disabilities and no one to take care of them.
Those with a bit of conscience would give some compensation, but they would always be exploited. In the end, they would only get a few copper coins.
If there was no conscience, they would not give anything. The child that they had raised for more than ten years would die in vain.
That was why there was a saying that good men do not become soldiers and good women do not marry soldiers.
Wei Jingxian listened to Feng Jin's narration. After a while, she muttered, "This is a huge expense. Can Lanting support it?"
Feng Jin shook his head. "She said that we have to support it even if we have to live frugally. It's fine if the officers and soldiers bleed on the battlefield, but we can't let them cry after the war, right? Lanting's words were crude, but the truth was not. If it can be implemented, she can completely control the morale of the army and build an elite army that no one can defeat. Everyone knows the truth, but she is the only one who has the courage to do it. "
Jiang Pengji's territory was not big at the moment, but she had a private treasury. These benefits were nothing. However, when she started to conquer the world in the future, the number of people in her territory would increase day by day. The burden would be heavy. Post-war compensation was not something that could be solved in one go.
One or two days were nothing, but how much of a burden would it be if it was a few years, a decade or even decades?
She had the courage to bring it up. Looking at the detailed regulations, it was obvious that it was not a spur of the moment decision. It should be the result of thinking for a long time.
Wei Jingxian sighed and suddenly lowered her head to tease Changsheng, who was looking at them eagerly.
She teased, "Lanting, Lanting … Even though I know she is a woman, I still feel a little moved …"
Feng Jin's face darkened. Jealousy bubbled in his heart. "Madam!"
