Although more than 5,000 people were killed in battle this time, and hundreds of them were seriously injured and disabled, the number of Chinese soldiers at this moment has not decreased but increased.

If all the female craftsmen were counted, it would be countless times more.

The 150,000 women, except for more than 4,000 people who were selected to join the female barracks, the rest were organized and managed by Qin Yu, with 15 back battalions, each with 10,000 people, organized and managed by the wives of those wealthy families.

Eighty thousand craftsmen, according to bricklayers, blacksmiths, carpenters, etc., also formed eight engineering battalions, with more than 10,000 people per battalion, led by 1,000 veterans of the engineering battalion.

As expected, although there are many people in this way, they have become orderly and greatly improved work efficiency.

Qin Yu did not expand his army wildly in the other battalions. Each battalion only recruited one thousand people. Apart from combat losses, it was only three thousand, and his combat effectiveness did not decrease much.

The three firearm battalions, each of which also reached 3,000. As for the combat soldiers, the personal guards and female soldiers did not have so many concerns.

The two war barracks, each of which reached 5,000, were recruited by more than 4,000 young men, and like the female barracks, each reached 5,000.

This immediately reached 40,000 troops in war, including 9,000 infantry, 9,000 firearms, 10,000 combat soldiers, 5,000 cavalry, and 5,000 female soldiers.

However, the engineers completely lost their ability to go to the battlefield, and the female soldiers were almost the same, that is, they looked good when riding on horseback.

There are now more than 20,000 war horses, and the female soldiers are temporarily trained with Mongolian horses, but after they go back, they must change into ponies, just to avoid damaging their enthusiasm, and Qin Yu is too lazy to say it now.

Look, Xiao Cui brought five thousand female soldiers and Cao Bianjiao in the wild every day so happily!

Cao Bianjiao seemed not to reject these female soldiers anymore, and he would patiently give them some advice on equestrians from time to time.

Obviously, I also understand that even if these female soldiers do not need to go to the battlefield, they will have a great effect on an army.

The soldiers on the battlefield were injured and would never be as slaughtered as before. No one would care about the minor wounded, but would save them if they could be saved.

Moreover, Qin Yu made an exception and allowed each cavalry to make a cloak, not to cool the wind, but to be sure that the cavalry did not have a cloak in winter.

This made the infantry and firearm soldiers look at the majestic personal guards and the heroic female soldiers, and they were envious.

Five thousand female soldiers undoubtedly became a beautiful scenery outside Dongchang Prefecture City. While surprised other women, they felt much more uncomfortable.

However, few people envy it. Whether it is a village woman or a girl or a maid, they dream of marrying a good husband and taking care of their husbands and children, rather than riding a horse to fight.

More than 100,000 women live together, no one will laugh at each other, and there are no moral scholars around to criticize them. These women who have been tortured finally have a smile on their faces and a glimmer of new hope for the future.

...

"Little thief, what do you mean by arresting King De?"

In the study, Zhang Yan said nervously, with a complicated expression on her face. Since Qin Yu came back, this has been the same question she has asked countless times.

"Isn't this an obvious thing?" Qin Yu stared at her and smiled. He originally planned to release King De as soon as he came back. Who would have thought that this woman would come to ask every now and then, and she immediately had dirty thoughts.

"Do you really want to establish King De as the puppet emperor so that you can go to Beijing to serve the king?" Zhang Yan gritted her teeth, and saw that he refused to explain, she finally broke the window paper.

"Isn't it possible? At this time, Sun Chuanting's army had already moved south. In the last battle of the plains, Lu Xiangsheng's army also suffered heavy losses. Looking at the entire northern border, who is the opponent of our Chinese army? I only need to prepare for one or two months and break into the capital as if I was going to be the one or two!"

Qin Yu waved his hand and said domineeringly.

Zhang Yan took a step back and fell on the chair, looking pale.

If it were before, she would have thought Qin Yu was bluffing, but she saw the achievements made by Qin Yu in the north. Looking at the entire Ming Dynasty's civil and military officials, no one could compare to it, so seeing him say this at this moment was really scared.

"Is there no room for negotiation? As long as you do not rebel and are willing to submit to the court, how about I beg Your Majesty to make you king?"

After a while, Zhang Yan looked up at him and begged, obviously completely losing her temper and even said such childish words.

"I am now the King of Hua. I am not interested in the King of Chongzhen, but there is not room for negotiation. It depends on the performance of the Empress."

As King Qin said that, he came behind her and pressed his hands on her shoulders. The villain's face was undoubtedly revealed, and he also pierced the window paper.

"You...didn't you say that you only love the country, not... you don't love beauty, how could you give up for me? It's obviously just a fool to me, and I won't believe your nonsense anymore."

Zhang Yan stood up and stared at him, but her face was so ashamed that she blushed to the bottom of her neck.

"I will not give up on the country, but beauty also wants it, especially a peerless beauty like the Empress. So if the Empress is willing to give some sweetness, I don't mind learning from King You of Zhou to be foolish."

As he said that, his hands wrapped around her waist and stared at her with a smirk.

Zhang Yan has never been teased by such naked praise from a man, nor has she met a scoundrel like Qin Yu. Her heart is already in chaos at this moment.

While feeling ashamed and nervous, a different feeling came to my heart. I lowered my head and didn't dare to look directly at Qin Yu's hot eyes. After a while, I bit my thin lips and said tremblingly: "Then...what do you want?"

"It's very simple. As long as the Empress accompany me to drink and have fun tonight, I will release King De tomorrow and will not attack the capital within three years, and will never break my promise!"

"No, absolutely not!"

Zhang Yan shook her head and pushed him away, obviously understanding what he meant to drink and talk.

"Why, I'm still hurting me by the empress last time I took a bite and still felt like I'm treating her with the same method?"

Seeing that she reacted so loudly, Qin Yu had to take a step back, but the man took a step forward, hugged her in his arms, and whispered.

"You...you...you keep your word seriously? But that's the case...will you let King De go?"

After saying that, his chest was undulating violently, and his forehead was covered with fragrant sweat, which showed how nervous he was.

"A gentleman's words are as good as he can."

"Bah! You are so shameless and vulgar, you dare to mention the word "gentleman". You are really shameless. I won't believe your nonsense."
