Chapter 86.2

With a face flushed red, Lin Beifan spoke earnestly, However, although I have agreed, there is still significant resistance from the people! Therefore, I must put forth a few conditions, and I hope you can understand!

Chai Yuxin nodded seriously, I understand, go ahead!

Firstly, since this is a first attempt, we do not know what the combat effectiveness will be like! Therefore, we can only recruit 3,000 troops for the first time! The scale of the female soldiers in the future will depend on the situation!

Without any hesitation, Chai Yuxin responded, Alright, I will only recruit 3,000!

Secondly, do not recruit married women, for they still have to bear sons and daughters!

Chai Yuxin nodded again: No problem!

Thirdly, its best to recruit the young ones! Because womens combat strength is inherently weaker, and if you recruit the elderly, they will be even less capable of fighting!

Chai Yuxin said, You dont need to tell me that, I already know!

Fourth, its best to recruit the beautiful ones

Chai Yuxin:

In this way, even if they cannot go to the battlefield, you can assign them to guard the imperial palace for me! Lin Beifan said, his eyes shining.

Chai Yuxin was furious: Are you recruiting female soldiers, or are you looking for a harem for yourself? Rejected!

After receiving Lin Beifans approval, Chai Yuxin excitedly went to post the imperial edict.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Is this foolish emperor actually recruiting female soldiers?

What kind of battles can these women fight? Can they even lift weapons or fit into armor? They should just stay at home, support their husbands, and teach their children!

Exactly! There has never been a precedent for women in combat before, this foolish Emperor is just causing chaos!

I heard that the foolish emperor agreed to recruit female soldiers just to please Chai Yuxin!

I knew it, only a foolish emperor would do such a thing!

Most people took it as a joke.

Moreover, very few women signed up, almost none at all.

After all, the long-standing belief was that fighting in wars was a mans business and had nothing to do with women. Besides, they already had good jobs and didnt need to take the risk for the money.

The enthusiastic Chai Yuxin was quickly doused with a bucket of cold water.

However, she did not give up easily and went to find Lin Beifan: Is there any way?

What way could I possibly have? Lin Beifan said while sipping tea.

Even in modern society, where the concept of equality is so widespread and productive forces are so advanced, there are still far fewer female soldiers than male soldiers.

Women, due to physiological and psychological issues, are generally not well-suited for warfare.

Is there really no way? Chai Yuxin asked unwillingly.

There is a way, but do you think I would tell you so easily? Lin Beifan sneered.

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Lin Beifans heart had been warmed, and he was very satisfied. He sighed and said, Now, we are left with only the last resort!

Chai Yuxins hands were itching to move, ready to pinch at any moment.

Dont act rashly, Im serious this time!

Then hurry up and say it!

Lin Beifan sighed, Actually, if you want to recruit female soldiers, you can only look among those women who are unencumbered and have experienced hardships! By giving them faith and hope, they will follow you and work hard!

Chai Yuxin left thoughtfully to go to the marketplace to recruit the female soldiers she needed.

.

At this time, a thousand miles away from the Great Xia, there was a small kingdom known as Fang Country.

This nation had a territory of less than 200,000 square kilometers and a population of less than 2 million. It was a small kingdom among small kingdoms, but it had a dynasty that lasted for over a hundred years.

The reason for its long-lasting legacy was that the headquarters of the Money Gang was established there.

This small kingdom had long been hollowed out by the Money Gang, turning it into a puppet state.

Though the country was small, the Money Gang was powerful, and thus it endured.

But now, they received some troubling news.

Boss, our gambling house in the Great Xia Kingdom has been smashed by the Great Xia Emperors troops! Moreover, from now on, we will not be allowed to operate casinos within the territory of Great Xia. If we do, it will be met with death!

What? Can such a thing be true?

The leader of the Money Gang asked in disbelief. Dont they know that the Sifang Gambling House is backed by our Money Gang?

Boss, that foolish emperor knows, but he smashed it anyway!

Outrageous! The leader of the Money Gangs face immediately darkened.

The other elders and hall masters were extremely angry and started to clamor.

To think they knew and still dared to smash? They clearly dont take our Money Gang seriously!

Boss, we cant just let this go! We must seek justice for our fallen brothers!

We must retaliate fiercely, or else I wont be able to swallow this insult!

They were all accustomed to throwing their weight around and couldnt tolerate being bullied by others.

Only one of the elders, who was more composed, spoke up: Leader and fellow elders, I believe we should consider this matter carefully! After all, Great Xia is a great kingdom, and its not wise to offend them

Another elder stood up angrily: If they are not to be offended, does that mean we are easy to bully? Leader, everyone in the rivers and lakes is watching our reaction. If we do nothing, we will be laughed at by the people of the rivers and lakes!

Yes, Leader, we are the Money Gang. Its our place to bully others, not the other way around. Please take action, Leader, and teach them an unforgettable lesson!

Please take action, Leader! the crowd chorused.

We are currently recruiting. CN/KR/JP Translators/MTLers are welcome!
