Chapter 213 Cao Yue's Deeper Thoughts

After the Lantern Festival, a few volunteers came from the Yanziji camp. These young "men" were all very thin, but they were said to have read books and knew a lot of words.In the end, these three people were enrolled in the army under the personal instruction of the governor Cao Yue, and because of their unusual talents, Cao Yue personally asked him to come to his side and serve as his staff.

It goes without saying that these three people are Liu Rushi, Chen Yuanyuan and Dong Xiaowan, and they came to Cao Yue in this way.

Cao Yue finally decided to keep the three of them by his side. Apart from being greedy for their beauty, he also felt that they could help him a lot because of their unusual talents.

Although there are many people around Cao Yue who can be used, there are not many people who are brave and resourceful. Many people are even illiterate, just like those who were born in the family.Some plans need to be formulated, and Cao Yue often has to write them by himself, and he also needs to do the statistics after the implementation of some plans.If these things are entrusted to a literate and hyphenated person who can be trusted very much, it will save a lot of worry.Although these three women can't fight, they can read and write, and they are very talented. It's no problem to entrust them to do these things.

Moreover, Cao Yue also wanted to establish some branch systems in the military that did not exist in this era, such as the espionage system, logistics medical system, communication department, and organizations like art troupes. These systems and organizations should be in charge of women he trusts. Probably better than leaving it to someone else, since they were the easiest to persuade and understood him well.

Ancient women and later modern women are actually the same category. As long as they are enlightened and given corresponding training, they should be clear about these things soon.

Although Cao Yue felt that his idea was a little unrealistic, but when he thought about it, he was really unwilling not to try it.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was great turmoil, frequent wars, and a large reduction in population. Most of the reduced population were males. Although the total population of the dynasty was still quite large, relatively speaking, the proportion of females must have exceeded the normal range.With so many women, they should be allowed to play some role in turbulent times.To mobilize women, it is necessary to assign some important positions to women, and let them slowly direct a series of changes.Cao Yue didn't know if he would succeed, if he could use the gender role of women to gain points for himself, but he planned to give it a try.

The battlefield ambulance system is what he most wants to establish. Women should play the leading role in the ambulance on the battlefield. Cao Yue hopes that one of these three women can take charge of this task for him.As for who is suitable for what to do, he still has to think carefully and use it according to his needs.

Liu Rushi had saved enough money to redeem himself, but Chen Yuanyuan and Dong Xiaowan couldn't redeem themselves with their own savings, so in the end Cao Yue took out the money and asked Chang Yanling to do it for him.

Whether it was Liu Rushi, Chen Yuanyuan, Dong Xiaowan, the women who were regarded as one of the most talented Qinhuai Eight Beauty, were all regarded as pillars and cash cows by the brothel where they lived, so the boss was naturally unwilling to let go easily.However, with Chang Yanling, the chief spy, who came forward, those brothel owners with deep backgrounds finally took the money and released them, and gave Chen Yuanyuan and Dong Xiaowan their freedom.

The most important reason why Liu Rushi wanted to follow Cao Yue was her admiration and infinite admiration for Cao Yue. She had only had contact with Cao Yue a few times, and her relationship did not reach the point where Cao Yue should not marry.She thinks that Cao Yue is the most outstanding hero in the world and the future hope of Daming. It is her luck that a brothel woman like her can cling to such a man, and she will definitely try her best to seize the opportunity when she has the opportunity.

Chen Yuanyuan was really moved by Cao Yue's true feelings, and because of the idea of ​​playing Cao Yue for the sisters around her one by one, she felt a strong sense of crisis, and at the same time, she also lost her reason, abandoned her reserve, and took the initiative to express what she wanted in this life. Follow Cao Yue's thoughts.She knew that if she didn't take the initiative to express herself, she might not be able to wait for Cao Yue's favor to help her redeem herself.

And Dong Xiaowan almost fell in love with Cao Yue at first sight. She had a little emotional entanglement with Mao Xiang, but after seeing Cao Yue, she seemed to meet the lover she had been waiting for for many years, and fell in love with her without any reason.Originally, she was relatively cowardly by nature, and usually acted very reservedly. This time, she finally made the decision to follow Cao Yue with the other two sisters regardless of face. This was the main reason, and she didn't want to miss it.

However, whether it is Liu Rushi, Chen Yuanyuan, or Dong Xiaowan, although they have different thoughts, they have a common wish, that is, they hope that Cao Yue can treat them well and arrange them well.But they didn't know that they were already planning the future for them, and they didn't expect that Cao Yue didn't just want them to be his women in the end, but hoped that they could do things for him and create some historical precedents.

The sudden disappearance of Liu Rushi, Chen Yuanyuan, and Dong Xiaowan in the Qinhuai River naturally caused a commotion, but not many people knew where they went, let alone who ransomed them.Some people who knew the inside story didn't dare to leak the news at all, and there were a lot of rumors in the market, of course, some were related to Cao Yue.

On that day, Cao Yue had the honor to have a banquet with all the beauties in Qinhuai Eight Beauties. This incident caused a great uproar along the Qinhuai River, and many people were indignant about it. Of course, more people were envious.Chen Yuanyuan fell in love with Cao Yue, and it almost became an open secret. She herself did not shy away from it at all. When she wrote the military song for Cao Yue, she even disclosed the situation to outsiders, in order to let everyone know , Cao Yue has an unusual relationship with her.Now that Chen Yuanyuan disappeared from the Qinhuai River, everyone naturally thought that he had followed Cao Yue.

It's just that now Cao Yue has controlled the Donglin Party and Fushe through Qian Qianyi, Lu Daqi, Fang Yizhi and others. The disappearance of several women has not caused a huge commotion among the public. Empress Zhou and the current emperor, and the Northern Expedition planned for the next year, the recovery of the capital and other things.There are more people who sing praises for Cao Yue, and naturally fewer people speak ill of him, and it will not be a climate.

The other women in Qinhuai Bayan were naturally very concerned about the sudden "disappearance" of Liu Rushi, Chen Yuanyuan, and Dong Xiaowan. Most of them guessed that this must have something to do with Cao Yue, and maybe the three of them were killed by Cao Yue. I liked it, and it was included in the house.

It's just that now is the period of national mourning, Chongzhen died not long ago, and has not yet been officially buried. No one dares to exaggerate these romantic affairs at a sensitive time.After guessing the possible outcome, some people naturally had thoughts in their hearts. Apart from envying the good lives of Chen Yuanyuan, Liu Rushi, Dong Xiaowan and others, they also had longings in their hearts. If they had more contact with Cao Yue, would it be theirs? Fate also changed?

For people of their status, it is basically impossible to marry into a wealthy family as a wife, and being a concubine is the most likely fate.In their opinion, Cao Yuegui is unspeakable, and now that he is in a high position, he will be crowned king in the future.If they are taken as concubines by Cao Yue, then Cao Yue will become the king in the future, and their identities will also rise accordingly, even surpassing the wives of ordinary rich and noble families.

Who doesn't want a better future for themselves?

Cao Yue didn't know that because of the "disappearance" of Liu Rushi, Chen Yuanyuan, and Dong Xiaowan, he was missed by more beautiful women.Now he is busy with some urgent matters, and he doesn't even have much energy to pay attention to the few beautiful women who have already come to him.
