"The third way? Do you want to die?"

Xing Xiaozao originally wanted to ask the queen to give her kindness and let her be born secretly and raise her. Unexpectedly, the emperor simply said the word "death" without even asking.

The third way is death.

Only then did Xing Xiaozao realize that she was wrong. The woman in front of her was the queen, not the neighbor's sister-in-law. She allowed her to defend herself and bargain.

In front of the emperor, she is a Bodhisattva and a gentle little wife; but in front of her, the emperor's women, she is the queen, and the queen's authority and status cannot be challenged.

"I know the crime, I am willing to choose the second one, please let the queen fulfill it." Xing Xiaozao's beautiful wish was shattered, so she had to follow the path given by Wang Chang.

"Okay, that's good. Xiaozao, don't worry, when the child is born, it will be considered as having been released and will not treat him badly." When Wang Chang heard this, Xing Xiaozao fulfilled his wish and said with a smile.

Wang Chang instantly became the amiable and virtuous queen. Xing Xiaozao saw the warm smile on her face. She felt so comfortable in the past, but now she saw her, she felt a chill.

She was worried about her son or daughter's fate in the palace in the future.

...

After Dai Yilan returned to the West Mountain, she worked with Qin Lanhua.

Qin Lanhua's attitude was very clear. She could fight the Qing army, but she firmly supported it, but it was not enough to marry a Han man, even if that person was the emperor, and unless the emperor was asked to kill her, she would not have thought about it in her life.

Qin Lanhua said this in the original words: "Alan, Mimi does not oppose the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty. She also supports Emperor Yongli. She kills Qing soldiers and all the people in the village. Mimi does not object. Even if she dies, it is no pity. But if you marry a Han Chinese, you will definitely not do it. Don't think that the emperor has taken a fancy to you. An imperial edict can make Mimi surrender. Tell you, if the emperor issues an order to grant you a concubine, Mimi will die in front of you when the imperial edict comes!"

These words completely scared Alan, so he had to let Wu Xin reply to the emperor quietly, don’t force her, give her some time, and slowly find ways to change her mind.

Alan was not able to do Tongmimi's job, so she was expected, so she didn't take it seriously and focused on organizing the training of the mountain army.

She had no education, so she didn't know anything about mountain troops, and she didn't know anything about training. Fortunately, the emperor wrote her a training outline and sent Li Yong and more than a dozen soldiers to help her.

Li Yong was educated, but he was just a pure literati and had never been in contact with military affairs. Fortunately, the emperor's training outline was written in detail, and the two of them just needed to follow the outline one by one. Fortunately, the emperor was very thoughtful and the soldiers sent were not unfamiliar with military affairs, and could have some ideas.

So the two novices started to do it in a daze.

First, we put forward the banner.

Zhu Youlang named the mountain army "The First Army of the Mountain Army of the People's Liberation Army of the Ming Dynasty", and issued an order to Alan and Li Yong that he could recruit up to 3,000 soldiers, each of which was a battalion, and Alan was appointed as the commander, Li Yong was appointed as the army, and the battalion officers and generals were below the generals, and Alan was appointed.

Li Yong sent someone to Xunzhou Prefecture to embroider the military flag and the commander flag. According to Zhu Youlang's order, the military flag was made of red and white characters, and it was also allowed to embroider a yellow dragon on the flag.

The second is recruiting troops.

Alan and Li Yong set up recruitment offices in Xunzhou Prefecture and fired the red flag of the "Ming Dynasty People's Liberation Army Mountain Army". The prefect also asked the government to post recruitment announcements and sent officials to various villages to promote and mobilize.

The prefect of Xunzhou is Fang Ju. He is nearly fifty years old. He is a third-class Jinshi in the 44th year of Wanli. He started as a county magistrate and became the prefect step by step. His promotion speed can be said to be quite slow. The reason is that he is not good at flattering, disdainful of flattery, and only knows how to be an official honestly.

This point is attributed to his arrogance and his scholarly aura. When he talks with others, he seems to be very proud. Although others will praise him a few words, their eyes clearly tell him that the so-called capital of pride is actually a manifestation of stupidity. Others will not look at how you were promoted to an official position, but only value your current official position. As long as you have a status, they will have awe in their eyes.

After thirty years of officialdom, I watched my own promotions in the same year, and even those who were not as qualified or capable as me have climbed up to me. When facing my former friends or younger generations, I have to follow the etiquette of subordinates and act according to other people's orders.

He felt his dignity was hurt.

But what can I do? He is not sure if he asks someone for gifts in a low voice, but he is unwilling to do things against his temper. Unless he gives up his official position and returns to his hometown, he can truly get rid of his strong psychological reluctance. Go back to his hometown? His hometown is a native of Shangyuan, and now he is still under the iron hoof of the Qing soldiers. Even if he wants to go back, he can't go back.

Helplessly, I had to continue to hang out in the officialdom, with unwillingness and grievances, and humiliation. Let's hang out in the officialdom. As long as I keep my true heart, keep my eternity, and be worthy of myself.

It was not that he had thought of changing his situation, but he could not do it by asking him to send it to his boss, run away, and curry favor with him. He hadn't done it for thirty years, and he wouldn't do it when he was old.

From his personal experience as an official, he was a little discouraged, but at the same time, he had a heart that was worried about the country and the people. Seeing that the giant Ming Dynasty was ill and was about to fall to the ground, he was anxious and hated.

Since Emperor Yongli ascended the throne and took the courage to win the fire in the battle in Guangzhou, defeated and surrendered Li Chengdong in one fell swoop, Fang Ju strongly felt that the emperor's governance ideas changed drastically, and at the same time, the official atmosphere also changed. This change greatly boosted Fang Ju's mind. He understood that the emperor began to use a knife to apply medicine to the body plagued by the Ming Dynasty. How could he not be happy?

A Dai Yilan appeared in Xunzhou, and Fang Ju felt that his spring was coming. Because he had already seen that the emperor valued the liberation of women very much and favored Dai Yilan very much. Otherwise, why would he give money to others and be given eunuchs to serve him?

It would be so stupid if he didn't seize it.

Therefore, he offered suggestions for the recruitment of Dai Yilan and Li Yong, and made convenience everywhere, so that the recruitment of Dai Yilan and Li Yong was smooth. In less than twenty days, he had enough 3,000 soldiers.

The reason why recruiting troops is so smooth is that in addition to Fang Ju's strong assistance, the high salary policy is the most fundamental driving force.

The emperor's will was well written, and only recruited the young and strong Zhuang people, and no one was allowed to do. Moreover, for this special team, he did not talk about national justice or ideals and ambitions. He only had four words: "Bake the money with money!"

The ordinary Han soldiers pay one tael of silver per month, and the Zhuang soldiers each have two taels of silver, which is twice as high! In addition, if you go to the battlefield in the future, you will be rewarded with two taels of silver for each Qing soldier.
