Chapter 218 Go together
"Since Miss Shen is going too, then I'd like to go with you too!"
"Oh, even if I don't go, my father has already promised me a marriage. He gave me five taels of silver and asked me to marry an old man. I heard that his first wife was beaten to death."
"If I go to the Xiongnu, no matter how bad I am, I can't be worse than I am now, right? Maybe if I go to the Xiongnu, they can choose a good man for me."
"I heard that the Xiongnu people value the use of force, and even women can ride horses and hunt."
"Maybe I'm more suitable to go there."
As soon as she finished speaking, a tall and strong woman walked out of the crowd and clenched her fists.
"I think I'm quite suitable to go to the Xiongnu. I heard that women with strong bodies are considered beautiful there."
"If I go over there, I'm sure she'll be a beauty too, hahahaha."
Shen Wei was deeply touched when he heard these words.
Even her eyes were red, she looked at her and said, "Of course it is."
"If you were not in this place, there would definitely be a wider sky."
The other person was really tall, estimated to be about 1.8 meters. With this height and healthy body, if she was born in modern times, even if she could not be a female soldier, she could at least be a clothing model.
More and more people signed up to follow.
After Shen Wei and Xiaoying counted the numbers, they found that there were still nearly two thousand people missing.
"What should we do? There are still so many people missing. Where can we find them?"
"The emperor only gave us half a month."
Zhao Xiangrong paced back and forth anxiously, fearing that he would miss the date and be blamed by the emperor.
In fact, if all the people in the martial arts school were included, the number would be almost the same, but Shen Wei let them choose for themselves and did not force them.
Shen Wei pursed his lips and said, "We will recruit people in the capital tomorrow and see who is willing to go."
Zhao Xiangrong was pessimistic about this. Unless the imperial court ordered every family to send out a daughter, and the whole family would be punished if they did not go, who would be so stupid as to go voluntarily?
But Shen Wei had made up her mind, so she didn't say anything more.
The next day.
Shen Wei hung a sign at the gate of the capital city, which read: "Recruiting Office!"
Xiaoying and a dozen apprentices from the martial arts school were shouting at the city gate.
"Every man has a share of responsibility for the fate of his country. The imperial court is negotiating peace with the Xiongnu in the north. For the sake of peace for the people, we women can also choose to be loyal to our country."
"All women can sign up voluntarily, it is not mandatory."
"........"
Many people gathered around, but no one volunteered to sign up. However, many onlookers pointed fingers and made sarcastic remarks.
A man whose body was hollowed out by alcohol and sex stopped in his tracks when he heard the voice.
His face was dark yellow, his eyes were bruised and he looked listless. He staggered to the front and almost leaned forward to see the three words "Recruitment Office" clearly.
Sudden.
He laughed like a madman, and turned to look at the woman in coarse cloth behind him: "Conscription? The one who sends women to enjoy himself after losing a battle?"
"Hahahaha, screw the conscription!"
"Look, it's a good thing I married you."
"Otherwise you will have to go to the Xiongnu and become the wife of those barbarians. Tsk tsk, I heard that those people are beasts and women are not as important as their cattle and horses."
"If you dare to say one more word from now on, I will divorce you and let you experience the life of a wild beast."
Xiaoying actually felt very uncomfortable after hearing these words. There were already few people who volunteered to sign up, and if this man continued to cause trouble, he would probably scare them away.
If the number of people is not gathered, the emperor will issue an order to force it, and the situation will be even more chaotic.
