Chapter 586: Spirit Spring System in the Qing Dynasty (37)

Then there was Chang Peilan—although she was married and it was not as free for her to go out as when she was a maiden at home, fortunately, her in-laws were reasonable and did not stop her from coming to the Nübing Ying to teach, and her husband was responsible for picking her up and dropping her off every day.

With their addition, the medical camp was becoming more and more professional, almost catching up to the military medical academies of later generations.

One thousand eight hundred elite female soldiers were divided into six camps of three hundred each, and each camp was divided into three companies, with each company further divided into three platoons.

From the first batch of one hundred veteran soldiers, based on the military merit points accumulated over the past six years, the top five on the points leaderboard were selected and appointed as the commander of the Nuzi Bingtuan, the military advisor, and three deputy commanders, respectively. The commander oversaw the Nübing Ying, the military advisor provided strategy, and the three deputy commanders were in charge of the training, ideology, and logistics of the six camps.

Then, six camp commanders and six deputy camp commanders were selected in order.

Company commanders and platoon leaders were not assigned deputies for the time being, because there was not enough manpower.

Even so, only the eleven veteran soldiers at the bottom of the points leaderboard remained.

Although these eleven were at the bottom, they were not very weak; it could only be said that there is always someone stronger, and the female soldiers ranked ahead of them were simply too fierce—killing enemies was like cutting winter melons, not to mention how ferocious they were.

However, Xie Yang had already made arrangements in her heart, listing these eleven as communications soldiers. In the future, there would be no need to find people randomly to deliver messages and intelligence.

After the division of labor was set, the veteran soldiers began to drill with the new recruits.

The medical camp and the logistics camp also used this method of veterans leading new recruits.

It was just that the newly recruited Artistic Soldiers were a bit troublesome, as someone still had to be found to specifically teach them singing and dancing performances.

One matter should not bother two masters.

Xie Yang went to borrow the palace's song and dance troupe from Lao Kang for a while.

Kangxi: "..."

This girl really dared to say anything and dared to ask for anything.

But he also knew her intention in doing this; everything was for the Nuzi Bingtuan.

He waved his hand and agreed to her request.

The construction of the Nuzi Bingtuan finally got on the right track.

Xie Yang rarely gave herself a vacation and came to the hot spring Farm bestowed by Lao Kang, intending to relax properly.

If one were to say this plane was difficult, at least she was born into a royal family, and she basically didn't have to worry about her living expenses. But if one were to say it was easy, it was truly not easy.

However, no matter how difficult it was, she had still built up the female soldiers.

These female soldiers came from all over the country, and according to the Main System's background check, most were born into families that valued boys over girls and had suffered since childhood. For this recruitment, there was a settlement fee of ten Silver, otherwise, the planned number could not have been recruited.

Furthermore, without benefits, how could these families bear to let go of a nanny-level daughter/granddaughter who did all the work? They were even planning to sell them off to earn a sum of bride price.

There was also a portion who were young widows whose husbands had died but who had no children, or poor women who had been cast aside by their husbands' families due to infertility or other reasons, and were not welcomed by their sisters-in-law when they returned to their maiden homes, leaving them with nowhere to turn.

The establishment of the Nuzi Bingtuan could also be considered as providing a warm home for these women.

Next, she would select an elite team from among them to follow her to the Southwest, while the rest would remain in the Nübing Ying for daily training.

"Speaking of which, System," Xie Yang leaned lazily against the pool wall, soaking in the hot water of the misty hot spring pool, and summoned the Main System, "What about the Bonds of this plane? Why has it been so many years, and I haven't seen you ask me to do any Tasks?"

【The Host has already completed quite a few!】

"Hmm?"

【The first Bond is the Eighteenth Prince. If the Host had not retrieved the Sub-system in time, letting it fall into the hands of the transmigrator Bafujin, she would have sent out the Spirit Spring to curry favor with Kangxi when the Eighteenth Prince had a high fever that wouldn't subside. Although the Host was in the Northwest and did not send out the Spirit Spring, the "one pill works" cold medicine promoted by the Host brought down the Eighteenth Prince's high fever in time, and later with the Rejuvenation Pill in Kangxi's hands, it completely changed his fate of dying young.】

【The second Bond is the Eighth Prince's birth mother, Liangfei, who was also cured of her fever using the pills promoted by the Host.】

【The third Bond is Chang Peilan. If she hadn't practiced martial arts with the Host, she would have encountered a disaster in the forty-ninth year of Kangxi. It was Bafujin who used the Spirit Spring to save her, and to repay Bafujin's kindness, Imperial Physician Chang helped her hide the truth from the Eighth Prince after Bafujin fell into the water and became infertile.】

"..."

She didn't expect that little Eighteenth Prince survived the epidemic, and that Consort Liang's death from illness in the fiftieth year of Kangxi, as stated in history, also had something to do with her.

And there was Chang Peilan; by practicing with her, she not only avoided a fatal disaster in her life but also assisted the government in capturing that gang of heinous criminals.

She didn't expect them to be her Bonds even more.

"System, this won't do. It's a good thing I accidentally promoted the pills, and it's a good thing they were effective. Otherwise, with me in the Northwest, how would you expect me to rush back to save people?"

【... Then what does the Host suggest we do?】

"Give me a warning in advance next time, at least give me some time to prepare. If you can't warn me in advance, then when an emergency happens, you have to help me, for example, by feeding a pill from a distance or something."

【This... is that appropriate? The Task must be completed by the Host herself; the System cannot do it for you.】

"Can't I not make it back in time? There is a saying that a general in the field is not bound by the orders of the sovereign; what's wrong with just helping me feed a pill? The medicine is what I prepared, so how can this be called doing it for me!"

【...】

The Main System was spun around, feeling its CPU burning up again.

【Um, who are you two talking about being sick and needing a long-distance Spirit Spring feeding?】

Ever since the Spirit Spring System upgraded to the full Level Seven, it could receive the Main System's electromagnetic waves and see its mimicry. Having eavesdropped for a long time, it couldn't help but interject:

【I can do it! Quack! Come find me! Quack!】

【As long as there is still one breath left, the Level Seven Spirit Spring can save them; there is no need for the Host to make it into a pill, just feed the Spirit Spring directly! Quack! It's not hard at all! Quack!】

Main System: 【...】

Where did this idiot come from!

Xie Yang: "..."

Hahahaha! Truly my sister's divine assist!

Just as Xie Yang was comfortably soaking in the hot spring watching the two systems bickering and "competing for favor," Jiu Ye sent someone to find her.

"Great niece, it's really not easy to see you!"

The place Jiu Ye chose to meet was a new restaurant under his name, and the decoration style was just like the man himself—gilded and magnificent, afraid that others wouldn't know how wealthy he was.

The second floor was all private rooms for distinguished guests, and with an Incense Cage lit, it was very warm.

As soon as Xie Yang entered, she saw one maid step forward to help take off her thick fur cloak, one maid nimbly offering a water basin to serve her for washing her hands, and another maid offering fragrant tea.

Xie Yang clicked her tongue and laughed: "Ninth Uncle knows how to enjoy himself."

"Don't say such things randomly; if it reaches your Imperial Grandfather's ears, he will lecture me again."

Xie Yang was amused: "Ninth Uncle is also afraid of Imperial Grandfather's lectures? This niece thought you were afraid of nothing!"

Jiu Ye rolled his eyes at her in annoyance: "Enough, I've had a taste of your sharp tongue. Let's get back to the point; that breeding farm the Li family has been making such a fuss about lately, was that your idea?"

"..."
