"If you want to become my princess' bodyguard, you can, but you must pass the assessment!"
What Gu Qingcheng wants is someone who can protect him, not the young master Yangzi who is just messing around.
She went directly to the New Army's barracks and contacted the commander directly.
Well, this commander is Huo Yun's immediate boss, a big warlord who occupies the capital.
Without Gu Qingcheng's previous momentum, she might not have been able to meet the commander in person as a "princess of a subjugated country."
However, Gu Qingcheng made a high-profile appearance in the newspapers and even formed a partnership with the deputy envoy of country D.
The first batch of ordnance has arrived at the dock in Jincheng.
There will be a steady stream of weapons and equipment in the future.
As a local snake, the commander is very familiar with the troubles and disturbances in his territory.
The commander also heard about the name of Princess Qingcheng Gu Lun.
"He's quite powerful, much better than that little emperor!"
"Know how to take advantage of the situation! Haha, the key point is that the people of country D really let her 'borrow' successfully. Our little princess is still quite capable."
The commander really admired Gu Qingcheng.
These days, everyone knows that foreigners are powerful.
However, it is not easy to catch up with foreigners.
Foreigners are not stupid, and they are ancestors in the Chinese dynasty.
There are too many people who chase people every day and want to please.
Why are they willing to "cooperate" with Princess Qingcheng, a princess who has subjugated her country?
Haha, it's not just for the title of "princess".
After all, I want to be more noble than the little emperor next door.
But Princess Qingcheng successfully hooked up with the people of Country D and accepted the asylum of Country D.
Now even more ordnance has been obtained——
"A thousand guns, ten thousand bullets!"
The commander touched his chin, feeling slightly moved.
These ordnances are not much, but they are quite a lot.
If we make good use of it, we can raise the strength of two more regiments.
With soldiers, you can have territory and become a local emperor.
"Forget it, for the sake of the weapon, oh no, for the sake of the D country people, I will just meet this Princess Qingcheng."
Gu Qingcheng successfully met the commander and reached cooperation with the commander——
"I believe the commander has also heard about it. I am willing to fund domestically promising young people to study at the military academy of Country D."
"There must be many young and promising generals under the commander's command."
"I can add an additional three thousand taels of silver to provide the commander with twenty places to go to country D for further studies!"
Gu Qingcheng continued to use her money skills.
She has money, and she is willing to pay to train talents for the commander!
Commander: ...the situation is bad!
Looking at this generous gesture, it really shows the generosity and nobility of a royal princess.
Haha, getting twenty officers' places for further education for free also gives the commander an opportunity to be kind to his subordinates.
The commander expressed his satisfaction and was willing to serve Princess Qingcheng.
Gu Qingcheng: ...service? Haha, just listen to this!
Gu Qingcheng did not make any excessive demands, but simply expressed that he wanted to borrow the commander's military camp.
She wants to select guards.
The first step is, of course, the assessment.
In the second step, after passing the assessment, recruits will also undergo three months of training.
And these all require a suitable venue.
"Haha! Little things! These are all little things!"
"Well, I have a military camp in Xishan. If the princess doesn't mind, you can borrow it there."
After listening to Gu Qingcheng's request, the commander smiled more sincerely than before.
I originally thought that Princess Qingcheng was asking the lion to open her mouth and make some requests related to the royal family.
I didn't expect that they just wanted to borrow a military camp.
It's not like Liu Bei borrowed Jingzhou, but only for three months.
The commander felt that 3,000 taels per year for four consecutive years and only borrowing the military camp for three months was a worthwhile business!
Huoshui watched silently and secretly lit a row of wax for the commander!
Her Majesty the Queen is really taken advantage of. Everything she does has a purpose.
Moreover, I dare not say that I will get it back ten times or a hundred times, but I will definitely not suffer a loss!
It's a pity that the commander didn't know this, and thought he was getting an advantage, so he treated Gu Qingcheng more and more kindly and enthusiastically - people are stupid and have a lot of money, haha, no wonder the people from country D are willing to cooperate with her!
Gu Qingcheng: ...As long as you are happy!
After borrowing the military camp, Gu Qingcheng began to publish "recruitment orders" in newspapers.
Princess Qingcheng Gu Lun, following the ancestral system, wants to select three hundred princess guards.
The conditions are as follows:
Priority will be given to children of the Eight Banners, aged 15-25 years old.
Good health, no bad habits, and no criminal record.
Those who are good at riding and shooting will be given priority!
Literate people, priority!
If you pass the assessment, you will be given two taels of silver.
Those who have passed three months of training as recruits will be rewarded with five taels of silver.
Once you pass the recruitment period, you will officially become the princess's bodyguard.
Each guard received a salary of two taels of silver per month.
Military uniforms, war horses, ordnance, etc., fully equipped.
All food and accommodation are included, and each person is provided with two taels of meat per day...
It can be said that Gu Qingcheng's recruitment announcement has such favorable conditions that even some new troops are attracted.
silver!
silver! !
Reading the whole article, there is a word "money" in every word.
And meat!
Ma De, these days, which military camp can provide each person with two taels of meat?
It would be good if the big-headed soldiers had enough to eat. It would be an excellent treat to eat some meat during festivals or before going to the battlefield.
Princess Qingcheng is lucky, she actually dares to promise to have meat to eat every day!
"She is a royal princess after all. The dynasty has been destroyed, and she is so damn rich!"
"There are many rich people, but no one is as heroic as the princess. This is the magnanimity of a true princess, right?"
"Go! Ma De, although I am not a banner man, the princess did not say that I must be a banner man!"
"Huh? That's right! I just said priority! But I also said you can't have bad habits!"
"Hehe! Among those old and young men, which one doesn't have some 'hobbies'?"
When everyone saw the newspaper or heard the news, they all talked about it.
Some people also carefully studied the conditions listed by Gu Qingcheng.
Well, although the princess mentioned that children of the Eight Banners will be given priority, there are other restrictions.
Good health and no bad habits!
Tsk, just this one can wipe out more than half of the bannermen.
There is no way, these people are fighting chickens and lackeys, carrying cages and holding birds. Even if the dynasty is destroyed, they can't change their habit of "I am the master".
There is also heavy smoke, and even some aunts and grandmothers can't keep their guns away, let alone those "men".
Therefore, Gu Qingcheng seems to be "following the ancestral system", but in fact he still leaves a lot of leeway.
And so, when the registration period for the Princess Guards closed, there were more than 3,000 applicants!
Bannermen only accounted for a quarter.
"Princess, with so many people signing up, after screening, we should be able to gather 300 people!"
Yuping was educated and literate, and followed Gu Qingcheng as a small accountant.
While she was settling accounts, she was secretly calculating the princess's "private property".
Well, although there are many more, after all, any one of the princess's things is worth a lot of money.
However, things will run out sooner or later, and raising soldiers, even if there are only three hundred people, is very expensive.
"Princess, if we just sit back and eat, our money will run out sooner or later!"
What should I do if I have no money?
Gu Qingcheng raised his eyebrows and looked subconsciously in the direction of Dongling.
Well, instead of leaving our ancestral graves to outsiders to destroy, we might as well do it ourselves...
