In ancient times, women were regarded as resources. In times of great conflict and chaos, they existed as the hope of inheritance, and women would not be allowed to go to the battlefield easily.

Those who can make meritorious service on the battlefield are not the daughters of ordinary people. At least they have a general as their father and have been influenced by him since childhood, so they have such an opportunity.

If the daughter of an ordinary family went to a recruitment office and said she wanted to join the army, she would be scolded at best and arrested at worst.

That's why the mother, daughter and the other two had nervous expressions on their faces.

But Qiao Jianer also knew that the reason they came to her was because she was also a woman. The fact that she was sitting here with tens of thousands of soldiers under her command proved a certain possibility.

She was also thinking about a problem. In ancient times, there were unwritten rules, which were even strict. She could not change them, but was there anything she could do in her position?

The woman said, "My Lady, these two girls of mine are twins. They are naturally stronger than other girls. They can run up the mountain without even taking a breath. They can evenly fight with young men of the same age."

As soon as she finished speaking, the two girls walked to the side, grabbed the stones on the ground used to test the physical fitness of the recruits, and lifted them up without much effort.

Qiao Jianer nodded: "Not bad."

The two girls' eyes flickered. The princess approved of them. Did this mean that they could join the army?

Qiao Jianer asked, "Are there any other children in the family?"

Although the military benefits are good, all the soldiers are men. The woman sent her two daughters here because she wondered if there were no other children in the family.

Joining the army is not just to enjoy the benefits. When necessary, you have to go to the battlefield. If you are unlucky and both of them are lost, what will this aunt do in the future?

"I also have a younger son who is naturally thin and has been sent to school to take the imperial examination."

The aunt was afraid that Qiao Jian'er would misunderstand, so she said, "It's not that I'm biased, but I don't want to put the girl in danger. Joining the army is her dream, so I'll help them."

At first, she disagreed no matter what, and was even afraid of attracting the attention of the government and being arrested. She scolded and beat the girls, asking them to change their minds and find a good family to marry into. However, even after growing up, the girls still didn't change their original intention.

The commander-in-chief of the fiefdom is Princess Feiluan, a woman. She thought that she should be able to understand the girl's wish.

But she was also a little worried that the princess would be angry and arrest women who wanted to join the army like she did at other recruitment offices.

Qiao Jian'er thought for a moment and said, "It's getting late now, you should go back first."

Now she was hungry, and when she was hungry, she had no mind to think about anything else.

The three of them looked at each other, not knowing what the princess's intention was. The two girls' eyes turned red. Did the princess not want them anymore?

Qiao Jian'er realized that her attitude was a little stiff. Since she started managing this fiefdom, except for her family members, she was used to being concise and to the point when talking to other people. This could greatly save energy and improve work efficiency.

Her tone softened. "You meet the requirements. Come back tomorrow morning to register. I plan to establish a female soldier corps. Anyone in your village or nearby villages who has good physical fitness and aspirations can sign up."

After she said this, her stomach growled even louder, and she wanted to go back and have two big bowls of rice and two big chicken legs.

The two girls who wanted to cry actually cried this time, but they were tears of joy.

They wiped the tears from their eyes and choked up as they said, "Thank you, Princess. Thank you so much, Princess. We will definitely fulfill our responsibilities as soldiers."

From childhood to adulthood, because they wanted to join the army and go to the battlefield, they were treated as aliens and suffered countless ridicules. Even though they had iron temperaments, they were also infected with a bit of inferiority and timidity.

Now that the princess accepted them, they felt that the grievances they had suffered for many days were suddenly washed away, the world seemed wider, and their backs straightened a lot.

Since the living teleportation function was activated, Qiao Jianer has been picking up and dropping off his family members from the fiefdom and taking them back to his house in the capital for dinner every day.

There are more than a dozen chefs in the house who can cook dishes from all over the world.

When we got home, the table was already filled with delicious food, which made everyone's mouths water and their eyes were filled with hungry glints. We had been busy recruiting soldiers these days and came back a little late, so we were all hungry.

Sitting around the table, they opened their stomachs and started eating heartily. They only slowed down when they were half full.

Qiao Lianer ate two chicken legs, a big pig's trotter and a fried pork rib, and immediately felt satisfied.

She said, "I plan to form a female soldier team."

Everyone was a little surprised. Old Qiao said, "Jian'er, why do you have such thoughts? The training is usually hard and the battlefield is dangerous. An ordinary girl can't endure such hardships."

The family has a sickle who is very capable, so they don't have those worldly prejudices against women.

However, men and women have different natural physical abilities, and their division of labor has always been different. Moreover, women were not allowed to join the army from top to bottom. So hundreds of years ago, there was an anecdote about a woman who disguised herself as a man and joined the army in place of her father.

"However, their desire to serve the Daze Kingdom and kill the enemy is the same as that of men. When facing a powerful enemy, there is no distinction between men and women. There are only warriors who are willing to sacrifice their lives." Qiao Lianer said.

"With this belief, what does the hardship of training matter? What's so scary about the dangers of the battlefield?"

Everyone's faces were filled with awe. Yes, that was the truth. If a person wanted to join the army, no matter if he was a man or a woman, he would have more courage than the average person.

Qiao Laosan pondered, "Jia'er, we support whatever you do, but female soldiers have never been allowed to exist. Except for a dynasty long ago when a female emperor ruled, they recruited female soldiers and even allowed women to serve as officials. In other dynasties, this was not a realistic thing."

"If we decide this way, I'm afraid the Emperor may not accept it. We should be cautious about this matter."

Qiao Jianer understood what he meant: "Okay, I'll go see the emperor right away."

Dacheng said: "If we can recruit female soldiers, it will show the world that women are just as ambitious as men, and reduce the prejudice against women."

"That's right. If female soldiers come under my command, I will train them according to the requirements for male soldiers and train them into real warriors." Da Meng said.

Qiao Lian'er was a little moved. The man from the Qiao family had such a broad mind. He was truly pure and kind.

Their advice also made her realize more clearly how difficult it was for women in ancient times to realize their ambitions.

Then, she took this step.

In the imperial study, the emperor was eating lychees while admiring the rising moon outside.

"It's a full-moon night again. Look at these lychees, they are as round as the moon." The emperor said with interest.

The eunuch outside reported: "Your Majesty, Princess Feiluan requests an audience."
