Yu Cun understood her feelings, but many times when others were slight, he could only say apologetically: "Empress Xiaoye, I know this is very unfair to you, but we really can't find a second suitable candidate."

"Is it necessary to waste so much manpower and material resources just for the ridicule of a person?" Ye Ningbing replied: "This is not good to everyone, not good to me, not good to you, not good to those women!"

"For them, it is a good choice!" Yu Cun said helplessly: "Now, many innocent women ask to join the women's camp every day."

"Why?"

Yucun immediately said something. Although this female camp was actually choosing a concubine for Liu Chang, it was difficult to make it public. Instead, it was set up to protect the innocence and chastity of her daughter's family in Tianjing City.

Although Meng Deen and others raped women in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the past, they largely guaranteed the chastity of women in the army. Women near Tianjing knew this very well, but at that time, the Heavenly Kingdom preferred to use women in the women's camp as coolies, and the labourers were very heavy.

However, this time, the newly established women's camp solved the problem of food channels and the special identity of women in the camp, so overall, rice can be supplied openly. Therefore, many women in Tianjing were worried about their lives and chastity, so they decided to temporarily join the women's camp.

You should know that although the Hong Army controlled the entire Jiangning City, the wandering soldiers and the scoundrels would never be missing in any era. Moreover, it is now the period of the alternation between the old and new regimes, and women's lives and safety are basically not guaranteed. Especially for women who have lost their husbands and fathers and brothers, this is especially true for women. Therefore, in a few hasty days, the size of the women's camp exceeded the control of the Hong Army. The number of people who reached five or six thousand had to pull out the barracks and send a team of female Taiping Army soldiers as a security guarantee.

After explaining all these changes, Ye Ningbing asked: "So, it is a good thing to open a women's camp now, and it has helped many lonely and helpless weak women!"

"Yes!" Yucun replied: "It is temporarily divided into internal camps and external camps. Now we focus mainly on external camps, and the matters of internal camps will be entrusted to Captain Ye!"

"I don't want to care about the internal camp's affairs!" Ye Ningbing replied: "But I can help with the good deeds of the external camp. I will send a boat of rice and send a row of guards to protect the entire external camp! If this is not the case, our second fleet should have entered Anhui to fight!"

"The surface combat in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River has been handed over to the First Squadron!" Yucun replied: "Don't worry! You have to arrest the internal camp matters, as there are many people there. I originally wanted to make a small fuss, but I didn't expect that so many noble ladies and beautiful ladies will come. Now there are six or seven hundred people, and I can't serve you!"

Regarding Yu Cun’s complaint, Ye Ningbing immediately replied: “Then let’s cut it! How many people are there?”

"Seven or eight hundred people? Who said that the inner camp is well treated? Now many people who shouldn't have entered the inner camp have squeezed in. Anyway, they know that it's not their turn to choose a concubine!"

"Everyone rushed to the outside camp to help!" Ye Ningbing had already figured out the way for these noble ladies with their own ways: "Unless we have the standards for choosing a concubine, our Prince Yan has an extraordinary vision..."

"Don't do anything with little feet. No, no, no, no, no... and..."

Ye Ningbing had already thought of a series of standards. She was Ye Niangzi's own person in the navy. Therefore, Niangzi also mentioned Liu Chang's aesthetic standards to her. To a certain extent, such women were almost impossible to find in the late Qing Dynasty, but the aesthetic view of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was not far from Liu Chang, and at least the bad habit of foot binding was banned in Tianjing.

Therefore, Ye Ningbing eventually drove most of the former ladies who had been involved in the internal camp to the external camp to act as supervisors or help, including some Hong Xiuquan's concubines. They may be considered beauty in Hong Xiuquan's eyes, but by Liu Chang's standards, they are definitely not beauty.

After such a selection, there were only less than a hundred people left in the inner camp. The standards were of course very high, and they were definitely enough to choose a concubine. It was said that hundreds of flowers were blooming, but Ye Ningbing finally missed a few people who did not meet the standards, or who had already had husbands, or who had given birth to children, or who had foot binding. According to Ye Ningbing's words, "I feel pity for you!"

At this time, Liu Chang, who was in Hangzhou, was already roaring about this: "You are going to set me on the fire. Although I am less studying, aren't even as good as a butcher?"

What he meant was the old story of Emperor Gaozu of Han entering the pass to destroy Qin. Han Gao was nostalgic for beautiful women, but Fan Kuai, who was a butcher, advised him to seal the treasure house with his beautiful women. Han Gao did not listen at first, and Fan Kuai had to find Zhang Liang to dissuade him. Liu Bang always obeyed Zhang Liang's advice. When he spoke to dissuade, he decided to stay away from the beauties of the seven countries in the Qin Palace and make three rules with the people of Guanzhong, laying the foundation for the three hundred years of imperial career of the Han family.

But Meng Deen is very good at speaking: "Your thought badly by King Yan. Although Jiangning is restored now, people are unstable. Everyone is worried that you will forget your roots. Although you rose to Jintian and started your business in Yong'an, and you will be in the war in Changsha, Guilin and Changsha, and you will be able to see the wind and see the wind. We see these stories in our eyes, but we are still somewhat suspicious. At this time, the women's camp is reset so that everyone knows that you are Jintian's meritorious service and will never forget your roots..."

Liu Chang shook, Meng Deen said this in a mess, where they all followed, but Meng Deen's speech was clear: "Han Gao entered the pass and could follow Fan Kuai and Zhang Liang's good words, that is certainly good, but now everyone in the Kingdom of Heaven is unstable, and they are afraid that you will have any involvement with them. The King of Heaven has fled north to northern Anhui, and there will be danger of change at any time. If you are close to the sisters of Heaven, you can let them blow the wind beside you, and everyone's hearts will be relaxed..."

Liu Chang glanced at Jin Peilun: "What is the situation in Jiangning? Let's talk about it?"

Jin Peilun, a third-rate strategist, is good: "There are 320,000 soldiers and civilians in Jiangning, of which about 52,000 soldiers have been dismissed. More than 4,000 old soldiers in the Kingdom of Heaven are still 48,000. Now it is being gradually adapted. However, the Hongzhe has occupied Jiangning for many years and has been widely poisoned and has not transformed. There are still more than 10,000 people..."

These people can be said to be the strongest force of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and there were at least three or four thousand people scattered in the army. At this point today, they still maintain the most fanatical religious fanaticism. They can recite the teachings of worshiping God and even conduct private services. In addition, there are still tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians who still have a certain nostalgia for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom: "Hong thieves can still win people's hearts and give small favors in Tianjing. Therefore, there are about 20,000 to 30,000 people with such wrong ideas, and about tens of thousands of people hate Hong thieves to the bone, and the rest are unsupported! I heard that the pseudo-Heavenly King has fled to Anhui Province and often send people to Ning to lure ignorant people to meet. If the handling is not done properly, there may be a big disaster!"

After Jin Peilun analyzed this, Liu Chang smiled: "So, if I make extravagant things and accept concubines, I can calm down the hearts of old friends in the Kingdom of Heaven? Absurd! Absurd!"

But Meng Deen's words are more organized now: "Your Highness of the King of Yan is wrong, it's a big mistake! The King of Yan is not a wide range of concubines, but in the harem, Empress Shi and Empress Yang lack some palace maids to serve their daily lives, and the King of Yan also lacks some pleasing eyes. Not to mention that the female officials in the female camp are involved with the old people of the Heavenly Kingdom now. It can be said that they are a relationship of brothers and sisters. If His Highness of the King of Yan can get closer to them, the brothers of the Heavenly Kingdom will naturally be at ease to conquer the king of Yan."

Liu Chang couldn't help but shook his head. Meng Deen's talent was mediocre, but his kung fu was very powerful. No wonder Hong Xiuquan promoted him to the position of the second in command of the heavens. Meng Deen continued: "What's more, this is just a small matter. The harem is in the harem, and it should be decided by Empress Shi and Empress Yang! Now the King of Yan should put great matters first, and he will quickly invite Empress Shi and Empress Yang to come back to Jiangning to calm people's hearts!"

"This is not a trivial matter!" Liu Chang disagreed with Meng Deen's opinion: "If it weren't for this matter, the Second Squadron should have entered Anhui for combat now."

Meng Deen has his own persistence: "Jiangning is determined by heaven, and heaven is determined by heaven, and northern Anhui can be achieved! Your Highness, King Yan, don't forget, there are still more than 100,000 soldiers in Anhui Province!"

When Liu Chang heard Meng Deen's words, he asked: "Who else is in Anhui Province? Didn't Li Xiucheng come?"

"Li Xiucheng broke through with the Heavenly King and went to northern Anhui!" Meng Deen replied: "Chen Yucheng also led his troops back to Anhui, plus Wei Jun and Anqing Shi Dakai and other troops. Now there are more than 200,000 generals and soldiers of the Kingdom of Heaven in Anhui Province. Don't underestimate the King of Yan! Instead of talking about trivial matters here, it is better to talk about how to make a complete Wanhui!"

In fact, the statement of the more than 200,000 soldiers in the Heavenly Kingdom is purely an exaggeration. There are at least 100,000 soldiers and even fewer elite soldiers. However, the rest of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom indeed gathered in Anhui and even occupied a lot of territory. Although they could not build the Great Heavenly Kingdom, they are still dreaming of "small Heavenly Kingdom".

Moreover, there are the most soldiers in Anhui, and Fuji still has 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers in Anhui, but the most worrying one is the Nian Army in the Huai River. When they took advantage of the decisive battle between the Hong Army and the Qing Army and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, they took the opportunity to expand their power. They have become the strongest force in Jiangbei. What is even more troublesome is his horse team.

Compared with the under-trained horse team of the Monk King, the Nian Army not only claimed to have tens of thousands of elite cavalry, but also was trained through actual combat with the Qing army and regiment training. During its heyday, there were horse teams running around for hundreds of miles. Liu Chang also sent envoys to recruit the Nian Army. After all, Nian Su was ambitious and was full of people, and hunger was the Nian. If he could obtain this reinforcement army, it would be very beneficial to the Hong Army.

But as soon as Liu Chang thought of this, he heard someone shouting loudly: "Your Highness, Wuhu Feng Sixian urgently reported it!" (To be continued)
