Chapter 308 Departure
The social structure of male superiority and female inferiority is like the never-fading sunset, and it will always be difficult to be illuminated by the light of the new era.
The border of the Dasheng Dynasty was invaded, and the warriors were eager to go to defend their country and their families. There was a boiling voice of defending the country, and in this chaos, the name of a female general gradually became clear-Qinglian.
However, what she faced was not only enemies on the battlefield, but also doubts about her identity.
Since ancient times, women have been responsible for domestic affairs and helping with household management. How could women fight in wars? The civil and military officials of the court all looked at Qinglian with doubt and incomprehension. However, her firm and resolute eyes were like the red sun that had just risen in the sky, full of enthusiasm and expectation.
She resolutely volunteered: "The border is in danger, any man can go to the battle, how can I, Qinglian, stand by and watch?"
Her voice was thin, but it was filled with indelible determination.
However, the officials rejected her because she was a woman. Their words showed their prejudice: "How can a woman lead troops to fight? How can she hold real power?"
Their words were full of contempt and injustice. But there was a fire burning in Qinglian's heart. She wanted to prove that she was not an ordinary woman, but a warrior who could put on armor and fight to protect her homeland. Her faith was like a frosted maple in autumn, swaying in the cold wind, but still tenacious.
At this most critical moment, she chose to seek help from Queen Xu Jiaoran. As one of the wisest women in the palace, Xu Jiaoran had long seen through the injustice of society and the oppression suffered by women.
When she learned about Qinglian's experience, she was even more indignant, so she decided to lend a helping hand to Qinglian, making this an important step in reforming the status of women.
She personally came to the hall and spoke for Qinglian: "I am not afraid of dying in battle, but only my body."
When asking about Qinglian, Xu Jiaoran looked at her affectionately and resolutely: "Qinglian, are you afraid of death?" The tone was as gentle and resolute as the drizzle in spring in the south of the Yangtze River.
Qinglian answered without hesitation: "To ensure that the people of Dasheng can live and work in peace and contentment, why should Qinglian fear death?" Her voice was small, but as deafening as the strings of a musical instrument.
This answer was like a cold winter wind sweeping across the faces of the men in the palace, leaving them speechless for a while. Because this sentence was not something that was spoken easily, how much courage and determination did it take to be so resolute? And this sentence was like the water of a clear spring that moistened the barren land in people's hearts and began to awaken the forgotten courage and passion.
Queen Xu Jiaoran knows that Qinglian is not an ordinary woman. She has wisdom, courage and perseverance. She is not only the best among women, but also the light of hope for the entire Dasheng Dynasty. So she decided to stand up and speak for Qinglian and speak for women! She argued in the court and presented overwhelming evidence to prove that women can also shine on the battlefield!
Finally, the emperor was convinced by the sincere and passionate words of the two people - he agreed to let Qinglian go to the frontier! This is not only a recognition of Qinglian but also an improvement in the status of all women! From then on, countless women began to walk out of their homes and into society to show their true strength and value!
At this warm spring moment, exciting news came from the capital city - General Qinglian will lead his troops to war.
This news swept across the entire imperial city like a spring breeze, and also caused countless discussions and speculations.
It was extremely rare in history for a woman to lead troops to fight, so this caused a lot of discussion among people.
Some women envied her and dreamed of being as brave as Qinglian one day and bringing glory to their country and nation. However, some men scoffed at her and questioned her strength and wisdom, doubting whether she was capable of taking on this important task.
However, Qinglian is like a lotus in midsummer, standing proudly and independently in the wind, fearless and unafraid. She knows that this is her mission and her glory. She is not afraid of others' doubts because she has firm beliefs and unparalleled courage.
On the day of the expedition, the capital was bustling with activity. People flocked to the city gate to see Qinglian off. The women's eyes were full of expectation and admiration. They hoped that Qinglian could bring back the news of victory and win back their honor. They shouted, "General Qinglian, you must win!" Their voices surged like the tide, full of strength and faith.
Qinglian, wearing armor, stood on horseback at the city gate. Her eyes were firm and deep, as if they could penetrate all difficulties and challenges. She looked at the women who saw her off, her heart full of gratitude and determination. She knew that she was not only fighting for herself, but also for the women who supported her.
"General Qinglian!" Someone shouted her name, and her name echoed in the wind.
"General Qinglian, you must return safely!" People's voices were filled with concern and blessings for her.
Qinglian smiled slightly. She knew that she had a heavy responsibility. But she also knew her own abilities. She was confident that she could lead her team to victory. She waved the sword in her hand and shouted to the sky: "I will live up to everyone's expectations!"
Her voice echoed in the sky, as if telling everyone: She is not just a woman, but also a brave soldier and general. She has the confidence and ability to complete her mission and win honor for the country and the nation.
The soldiers who followed the army were all excited when they saw this scene, and they were more determined to follow General Qinglian. They believed that with General Qinglian's leadership, they would definitely win!
The wind continued to blow through the streets and alleys of the capital, bringing waves of warm air, making people believe that under Qinglian's leadership, the future will be full of hope and light. Under the gaze of the crowd, Qinglian led her team away, her figure disappeared in the distance, but her spirit will always remain in people's hearts...
At that moment, the sky in the capital seemed to become even bluer and the sun became even warmer, as if it was specially sent off for Qinglian. At that moment, everyone felt proud of this brave woman because she not only fought for women, but also brought hope and courage to the entire country and nation...
Qinglian was ready to go, but suddenly, she seemed to see a familiar figure in the crowd.
Qinglian thought she had seen it wrong, but when she was resting halfway, someone came up to her and said, "General Qinglian, have a drink of water!"
When Qinglian heard the voice, she looked up suddenly and saw He Ying's figure.
Qinglian frowned, his eyes revealing a complex and deep confusion.
She spoke to He Ying, her voice full of disbelief: "What are you doing here?"
There was a hint of worry and vigilance in his words. In this ever-changing battlefield, everyone's life was like a light goose floating across the sky, easily lost and hard to keep.
He Ying responded calmly: "You, a woman, can wield a sword and fight for your country, so how can I sit idle and stay out of this battle? With a powerful enemy at the door, how can a man stay out of it?"
His voice was full of firmness and determination, as if all the difficulties and obstacles in the world could not stop him from moving forward.
However, Qinglian's brows became more and more furrowed.
