Transmigrating to Female Supremacy: Husbands, Don’t Be Too Outrageous

The general picked up the battle report and put it in Ji Zhen's hand for her to see.

She knew that her daughter was very smart. When others were still playing with mud, she could already read. Not only that, she learned everything very quickly and was very good at drawing inferences from one thing. Even the teacher hired by the general for her was stumped by her. This made Ji Zhen be called a child prodigy, and she won the favor of the empress, who let her enter the palace to listen to the lectures of great scholars together with the princesses and princes.

The general was very proud of this, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with showing the confidential war report to Ji Zhen.

This time, after reading the battle report, Ji Zhen's face showed unprecedented heaviness.

The battle report said: The fortress of Changning was breached. The enemy army massacred the city, and 30,000 civilians became innocent souls. Upon hearing the news, the prefect of Lin County abandoned the city and fled. The enemy army took advantage of the situation and pursued, breaking through six cities in a row. Now they are entrenched in one of them, using the civilians as a threat, and wanting to negotiate peace with Nanyue.

The executioner who slaughtered 30,000 innocent souls actually has the nerve to ask for peace talks?

Ji Zhen's face looked very ugly and heavy. The general asked an even more serious question:

"Zhenzhen, what do you think, should South Vietnam go to war or peace?"

"Fight, of course we have to fight." Ji Zhen answered without hesitation.

"But where does South Vietnam get so much combat power?" the general asked another question.

However, this problem is not a problem at all in Ji Zhen's view.

Because women were respected in Nanyue at that time, men were not allowed to join the army. Because in Nanyue, women valued martial arts while men valued literature. For women, military merit was above all else, and military generals were almost all selected from royal families. Commoners could only start from the lowest level of soldiers, and men were not qualified to join the army at all.

However, Nanyue has more men than women, and after several wars, the losses are huge. If they still follow the old rules, then the fighting power will naturally be insufficient. But if they recruit men to join the army, it will be completely different. Thinking of this, Ji Zhen explained to the general:

"The reason why the fighting capacity is not enough is that South Vietnam only allows women to join the army. It's not because men are not as capable as women and cannot join the army, but because they are worried about men's military merits. If we put aside the gender difference and recruit the best soldiers, we should select as many as possible. The fighting capacity will naturally be replenished quickly."

Ji Zhen's words were lighthearted, but they sounded very unorthodox to the general. She frowned even more, glanced at Ji Zhen, and said in a deep voice:

"Zhenzhen, do you know what you are saying? You are making fun of our ancestors' rules."

These words were very serious. If it were another child, he would have knelt down and cried to admit his mistake. But Ji Zhen was not like that. She looked up at her adopted mother, a mocking smile flashed across her young face, and said:

"What happened to the ancestors? They have never been beaten so hard, have they? Thirty thousand wronged souls and six cities, mother. Besides, if women are really stronger than men, then no matter whether men do the same thing as women, they will always be stronger than men. It's just military merit, are you afraid that you can't win over men?"

After Ji Zhen finished speaking, the general was silent for a long time. Ji Zhen sat beside her obediently, waiting. Until the general spoke again and asked her:

"What do you want to do when you grow up, Zhenzhen?"

"Of course I will follow mother to defend the northwest. I will become a general more powerful than mother." Ji Zhen replied.

In the silent study, the general laughed for the first time. She pinched Ji Zhen's small face hard and laughed:

"Good! You are worthy of being my daughter!"

The next day, the general went to the palace and stayed there until dark. A few days later, the empress issued a proclamation to the world, allowing men to join the army and to receive the same rewards and punishments as women.

The subsequent conscription became very rapid, and soon the troops were ready. The general took the seal of command to repel the enemy, recaptured six cities in one fell swoop, and held a grand memorial ceremony in Changning.

That year, the fate of many people was rewritten. The name Changning, like a mark, was engraved in the hearts of many people, including Ji Zhen.

She didn't expect that Yunzi and Jiang Yan were actually born in Changning and had experienced that disaster.

Ji Zhen stood in front of the window, looking at the gray sky, letting the wind and rain blow on her, thinking about her future.

South Vietnam was not peaceful. The Northwest had been managed by the Ji family for several generations before it became stable today. However, after the battle with Beidi, most of the Dingyuan army of the Ji family was lost, and the new recruits could not play a role. Moreover, the empress tied her up in the capital and refused to let her go, which made the progress of this matter extremely slow.

If an enemy attacks at this time, how will she respond?

Ji Zhen looked at the rain clouds slowly moving across the sky. She had never expected that once she had traveled through a book, she would actually have to worry about these things. It was as if she was really a person here, as if this was really her life.

But those lives of hers were so vivid that she couldn't help but be moved and try to find ways to protect them.

Too real.

Ji Zhen sighed deeply, and at this moment, the voice of the night wind sounded behind him:

"Your Highness, the wind is strong and the rain is heavy. Could you please let me close the window?"

Ji Zhen turned around, looked at Ye Feng who was almost half soaked like her, smiled, and reached out to close the study window.

Ji Zhen called the attendant and asked him to bring clean clothes for herself and Ye Feng. She walked to the bathroom, took the towel handed over by Ye Feng, wiped the water off her face, and said to him:

"The spring water is cold. Go to the water room and take a hot bath, then come back."

Ye Feng did not move. He just took the towel from Ji Zhen's hand, pushed her to sit on the soft seat, sat beside her, and wiped her hair that was wet by the rain.

"What's wrong?" Ji Zhen clearly felt the difference in Ye Feng. He had never been so proactive towards her before.

Ye Feng was silent for a while, then slowly spoke:

"I heard that His Highness has twenty male concubines."

"Pfft." Ji Zhen couldn't help laughing, turned her head and glared at Ye Feng, saying, "When did you learn to listen to gossip? How can you have twenty male favorites? Don't listen to their nonsense."

"I didn't ask for gossip. I saw it with my own eyes. That Mr. Jiang is from Changning."

Ye Feng paused while wiping Ji Zhen's hair, and after a moment, he continued:

"Yunzi is also from Changning. Your Highness always has special compassion for people from Changning."

"You are well-informed. They are indeed from Changning. However, this has nothing to do with male concubines. Don't let your imagination run wild."

Ji Zhen didn't care that Ye Feng knew this, but she was very curious as to why Ye Feng suddenly cared about this today, so she asked:

"Okay, why do you suddenly care about this?"

"Maybe, I am jealous."
