"you!"

The woman's words hit Zhou Shixiang like a heavy fist, causing his chest to stagnate and his mind uneasy.

The big blue horse suddenly neighed and stood with its hoofs. Zhou Shixiang was caught off guard and almost fell from the horse, looking very embarrassed.

"Where's the diabolical woman, take her down!"

Blind Li was furious and ordered his guards to arrest the poor woman. Several guards like wolves and tigers immediately stepped forward and lifted the woman like a chicken. Just as she was about to drag it down, Zhou Shixiang shouted, "Slow!"

Zhou Shixiang got off his horse, threw the whip into the blind man Li's hand, and walked towards the woman.

"Master?"

Blind Li quickly followed, thinking that the commander was going to kill this nonsense woman.

Zhou Shixiang stopped in front of the woman and asked her, "What's wrong with me giving you a way to live?"

"It's better to live in such humiliation than to die!"

The woman bit her lower lip, not afraid of Zhou Shixiang's authority. Looking at his appearance, he would rather die than be humiliated.

Zhou Shixiang stood silent for a while, and sighed: "Why should you die if you can live?"

The woman said sadly, "It's not the general who lives because of humiliation."

After another moment of silence, Zhou Shixiang shook his head and laughed at himself: "According to what you said, I should not save you, nor should I give you a way to live. Letting you die is a kindness and a good governance?"

The woman does not answer.

Zhou Shixiang didn't need her to answer, he said to himself: "Actually, it's not wrong for me to save you, but there are some things that you can't blame on me. Let me ask you, why don't you blame your relatives who are unwilling to accept them again? , instead of blaming me?"

The woman still bit her lower lip and said nothing.

"Because your relatives don't accept you, I only care about you. I don't want you to starve to death, or become a hard-working woman in a brothel, that's why I promise you to surrender to soldiers as wives. I know it's hard for you to understand, you may I think you should get better arrangements. At least you can have a home and a meal. I also know that you are suffering, but this is all I can do. If you are not satisfied, I do not know how to arrange for you. ."

After Zhou Shixiang finished speaking, he didn't look at the woman, pointed his finger at the large group of women not far away, and said, "Tell me, if they don't want to be the wives of surrendering soldiers, where will they go? How can they live in peace? What to eat and drink? Or, are you really determined to die?"

The woman was startled and didn't answer.

In fact, they didn't know where to go, so they cried at the city gate. Perhaps, there will be sisters who choose to die in the end, but most of them will choose the road of no return because of starvation. That way is no better than surrendering soldiers to wives who insult them.

Zhou Shixiang put down his hand and looked at the woman again.

"You ask me, if it's my wife, sister and daughter who are humiliated, should I do the same?... I tell you, I will not treat my relatives the same as your relatives, because they are my relatives, even if they I will not abandon them even after suffering great suffering... So if you really want to blame, you can blame the etiquette in this world..."

Zhou Shixiang let out a long sigh. Besides Qingbing, it was also the etiquette of cannibalism in this era that harmed these women. The former, he can manage now, he can prevent such tragic events from happening again; but the latter, he is really powerless to intervene, this is not something that can be changed overnight. Only by destroying the privileges of the gentry and the clan, and liberating the common people from the clan and etiquette, can we talk about change. And this is obviously something he can't do right now. Before defeating the Shunzhi army in Jiangbei, what he wanted was stability in Jiangnan, everything was as before, not chaos.

The woman finally spoke up, she said, "General, we don't want to die, we want to live, but we don't want to live humiliatingly, we don't want to be the wife of those beasts."

"That makes me very embarrassed."

The problem returned to the beginning. Zhou Shixiang thought that the arrangement was the best arrangement, but the women thought it was hell, it was a nightmare.

It's not that Zhou Shixiang couldn't ask Suzhou Prefecture to set up an agency to accommodate these women, whether it be sewing and mending, or making some knitted socks and cotton clothes for the Taiping Army, they can always keep them alive. However, these women are no more than widows. After all, they have family members, and they have suffered the most unforgivable crime of losing their virginity in this era. Even if they are victims, they will be killed by the eyes of the world. A woman's disobedience is something that can never be forgiven in this era, regardless of any reason.

If the government came forward to place them together, Zhou Shixiang was sure that the people of Suzhou City would 100% believe that these women were just from the Qing army camp prostitutes to the Taiping army camp prostitutes. At that time, their relatives might come to the government to force them to take them home, and then force them to death, just to fulfill the so-called etiquette and preserve their so-called family customs.

The common people will not trust the government, they will only fear the authority of the government, but not the virtue of the government. Even if they see with their own eyes that these women are not what they imagined, they will still cling to their original views. The more the government does not make friends, the more they will think so. If this matter is used by people with a heart, and the public opinion is not favorable for the Taiping Army, at that time, will people be released?

Therefore, the government must not come forward, and the consequences of doing so are even more tragic for these women. They are different from the women and children in the Taiping Army old camp. They have family members and are not members of the Taiping Army.

Matching a man with a surrendered soldier as a wife is the most practical way at the moment. Although it is unfair to these women, it is like forcing the **** to endure the humiliation and marry the rapist. This is to be reviled by everyone in Zhou Shixiang's previous life, but in this era, it is the best virtuous government. No one would accuse Zhou Shixiang of messing with each other. Even after these women got married, their parents and brothers would accept them again, and they would be grateful to Zhou Dashuai who led all this.

This is the absurdity and helplessness of this troubled world.

For those who surrendered soldiers, those who harmed their wives, then their wives were prostitutes. Comedy, tragedy, or great irony.

Three words and two beats of awakening and constant words.

Zhou Shixiang will not back down, nor will he do things with more unfavorable consequences just because he is soft-hearted. He was going to use force to force these women to accept this fate.

Liu Rushi helped Qian Qianyi come over at some point, Zhou Shixiang and the woman said, both his husband and wife heard.

Qian Qianyi is a leader in the literary world. He can be free from etiquette and law, and marry Liu Rushi, who was born in a brothel, which is called a good story. But he never dared to accuse the common people who forced their daughters (wives) to go out, because this is a moral concept that everyone agrees with, and is the basic rule to maintain this world, even if it is unreasonable, even if it is evil, even if it is ugly, he will not Dare to question.

Liu Rushi couldn't bear it, she thought of her past, so she whispered a few words to Qian Qianyi. Qian Qianyi hesitated after hearing this, but seeing how determined He Dongjun was, he nodded in agreement. He stepped forward and said to Zhou Shixiang: "Guo Gong of Yue, this old man discussed with Zhuo Jing, and would like to set up a weaving and spinning company in Suzhou so that these women can support themselves. I wonder if Guo Gong thinks it is okay?"

Qian Qianyi's proposal moved Zhou Shixiang, and the nature of the public's appearance and the government's appearance were different. Furthermore, Qian Qianyi is the leader of the Jiangnan gentry, and his wife He Dongjun is a heroic female middle school praised by the Jiangnan scholars. The people trusted them far more than Zhou Shixiang and the new Taiping Army, they could question the government, but not the couple.

Zhou Shitong agreed, and asked Qiu Guoliang to arrange the matter, asking the women if they would marry the surrendered soldiers as wives, and if they were willing to settle in as before. If they are unwilling, they will be placed by the Qian family. Considering that the Qian family may not have much wealth, Zhou Shixiang asked Qiu Guogong to notify Yan Shaoqing, the prefect of Suzhou, to allocate some money from the treasury to secretly support the matter.

"I still don't thank the old Zongbo and He Dongjun!"

Zhou Shixiang asked the woman to thank the Qian family and his wife, not marrying a soldier who humiliated her as a wife, and she could have a good life, how could the woman be unwilling.

Hedong Junliu was worried that she would delay these women after she went to the southern capital with her husband, so she asked her husband to go to the southern capital with Zhou Shixiang first, and she stayed in Suzhou to handle the matter. Since Liu Rushi married into the Qian family, she has taken care of all the affairs of the Qian family. There are some things that Qian Qianyi is not aware of. The establishment of a spinning factory involves too much, and someone has to take care of it personally, so Agreed too.

The woman went back and told the Qian couple that they were willing to take them in and set up a spinning factory for them to support themselves, and all the women agreed happily. Qiu Guoliang then ordered the soldiers to bring them back to the camp. The Qian family's job of opening a spinning factory was not something that could be done in a day or two, so these women couldn't be left to freeze and starve outside.

When the onlookers heard this, they all praised Qian Qianyi and his wife for their kindness, but no one said that Zhou Dashuai was good.

Zhou Shixiang gave a wry smile, seeing that the women were gone, he wanted to ask Qian Qianyi to get on the carriage~www.wuxiamtl.com~ and leave the city and go back to Nanjing immediately. I didn't want to, but a young man jumped out of the crowd and walked quickly in the direction of Zhou Shixiang.

This person's actions immediately attracted the attention of the guards, and the blind man Li Zuoshi was about to go forward to intercept them, but Zhou Shixiang waved his hands and repelled them. Many people around were watching. If the young man was driven away, he would inevitably get a bad reputation. Besides, being so nervous about a commoner, it was just a joke of his Zhou Dashuai.

"Blind man, bring that man and ask him what's going on. If he makes a complaint, ask him to go to the yamen to file a complaint."

Zhou Shixiang only said that this young man was just learning the stage, and seeing that he was a high-ranking official, he was going to complain. He was in a hurry to go back to Nanjing, but he didn't want to do anything to Bao Qingtian, so he asked the blind man to persuade him away. Unexpectedly, the young man suddenly knelt down at a distance of ten feet from him, and then Natou bowed to him.

This sudden scene surprised Zhou Shixiang. In broad daylight, someone came to worship him, which really made him very curious. Confused, he took a few steps forward and asked the young man who was kneeling on the ground: "How do you worship me politely? Do what?"

Suddenly, Zhou Shixiang felt like an electric current hit him, because he realized how familiar the scene in front of him was. (To be continued.) Mobile users, please browse and read for a better reading experience.
