Chapter 603 The Last Princess Arrives (Part 7)
"If you want to become this princess's guard, you can, but you must pass the test!"
What Gu Qingcheng wants is someone who can protect her, not a freeloader.
She went directly to the new army's camp and contacted the commander directly.
Well, this commander is Huo Yun’s immediate superior, and he is the warlord who occupies the capital.
If it weren’t for Gu Qingcheng’s previous hype, as a “princess of a fallen country”, she might not have been able to meet the commander in person.
But Gu Qingcheng appeared in the newspapers in a high-profile manner and formed a partnership with the deputy envoy of Country D.
The first batch of weapons has arrived at the dock in Tianjin.
There will be a steady stream of weapons and equipment to follow.
As a local boss, the commander is very aware of any disturbances in his territory.
The commander had also heard of the name of this stunning Princess Gulun.
"He's quite a formidable man, much better than that little emperor!"
"Know how to take advantage of others' situation! Haha, the key is that the people from Country D actually let her 'borrow' it successfully. Our little princess is still quite capable."
The commander actually had some admiration for Gu Qingcheng.
Nowadays, everyone knows that foreigners are powerful.
However, it is not easy to hook up with foreigners.
Foreigners are not stupid, and they are our ancestors in the Celestial Empire.
There are too many people chasing after me every day, trying to curry favor with me.
Why are they willing to "cooperate" with Princess Qingcheng, a princess of a fallen country? Haha, it's not just for the title of "princess".
After all, if you 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 its protection.
Now I have even got weapons——
"One thousand guns, ten thousand bullets!"
The commander stroked his chin, slightly moved.
These weapons are not a lot, but they are not a small number either.
If we make good use of it, we can raise two more regiments of troops.
If you have soldiers, you can have territory and become a local emperor.
"Forget it. For the sake of the weapons, oh no, the D country people, I will meet this beautiful princess."
Gu Qingcheng successfully met the commander and reached a cooperation with him——
"I'm sure the commander has heard that I'm willing to fund promising young people in the country to study at the military academy of Country D."
"The commander must have many young and promising generals under his 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 spend money to train talents for the commander!
Commander: ...What a generous gesture! Look at her generosity, it really shows the generosity and nobility of a royal princess.
Haha, twenty places for officers to pursue further studies are obtained for free, which also gives the commander a chance to show favor to his subordinates.
The commander expressed his satisfaction and willingness to serve Princess Qingcheng.
Gu Qingcheng: ...Service? Haha, just listen to this!
Gu Qingcheng did not make any excessive demands, but only expressed that she wanted to borrow the commander's military camp.
She wants to select guards.
The first step, of course, is assessment.
The second step is that after passing the assessment, recruits must undergo three months of training.
All of these require a suitable venue.
"Haha! It's just a small matter! It's all a small matter!"
"Well, I have a military camp in the West Mountain. If you don't mind, Princess, you can use it."
After hearing Gu Qingcheng's request, the commander smiled much more sincerely than before.
I originally thought that Princess Qingcheng would make a huge request and put forward some requests related to the royal family.
I didn’t expect that. They just wanted to borrow a military camp.
It's not the kind of thing that Liu Bei borrowed from Jingzhou, but it was only used for three months.
The commander felt that three thousand taels a year for four consecutive years, and only borrowing the military camp for three months, this business was worth it!
The troublemaker watched silently and secretly lit a row of candles for the commander!
Her Majesty the Queen has really been taken advantage of. Everything she does has a purpose.
Moreover, I dare not say that I can get back ten times or a hundred times, but I will definitely not suffer any loss! Unfortunately, the commander didn't know, and thought he got an advantage, and treated Gu Qingcheng more kindly and enthusiastically - she is stupid and rich, haha, no wonder the people of D country 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 Gulun, in accordance with ancestral rules, wants to select 300 princess guards.
The conditions are as follows:
Priority is given to children of the Eight Banners, aged 15-25.
Good health, no bad habits, no criminal record.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Those who are good at riding and shooting will be given priority!
Priority is given to those who can read!
If you pass the assessment, you will be awarded two taels of silver.
Those who pass the three-month recruit training will be awarded a reward of five taels of silver.
Once you have passed the rookie period, you will officially become the princess's guard.
Each guard received a monthly salary of two taels of silver.
A full set of equipment including military uniforms, war horses, weapons, etc.
Food and accommodation are all included, and each person is provided with two taels of meat per day...
It can be said that the conditions in Gu Qingcheng’s recruitment notice were so generous that even some new recruits were tempted.
silver!
Silver! ! Throughout the whole article, the word "money" is everywhere.
And meat! Damn, these days, which military camp can provide two taels of meat per person? It's good enough for the soldiers to be full. It's a great treat to eat some meat during festivals or before going to the battlefield.
Princess Qingcheng actually dared to promise that she could eat meat every day! "She is a royal princess after all. Even if the dynasty is overthrown, she is still so rich!"
"There are many wealthy people, but none are as generous as the princess. This is the bearing of a legitimate princess."
"Go! Damn it! Although I am not a bannerman, the princess didn't say that I must be a bannerman!"
"Huh? Yeah! I just said priority! But I also said you are not allowed to have bad habits!"
"Hey, hey! Which of those masters and young masters doesn't have some 'hobbies'?"
When people 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 the children of the Eight Banners are given priority, there are also other restrictions.
Good health and no bad habits!
Tsk, just this one line can eliminate more than half of the bannermen.
There is no way. These people who engage in cockfighting, dog running, and bird cages cannot change their habit of "I am the boss" even after the dynasty has collapsed.
There is also opium. Even some women never let go of their guns, not to mention the "men".
Therefore, although Gu Qingcheng seemed to be "following the ancestral system", she actually left a lot of room.
Therefore, when the registration for the Princess Guard closed, the number of applicants exceeded three thousand!
Bannermen only accounted for a quarter of the population.
"Princess, with so many people signing up, after screening, we should be able to gather 300 people!"
Yuping is literate and works as an accountant beside Gu Qingcheng.
While she was doing the accounting, she was also secretly calculating the princess's "private property".
Well, there are still a lot, after all, any of the princess's things is worth a lot of money.
However, things will run out sooner or later, and maintaining an army, even if there are only 300 people, is very expensive.
"Princess, if we continue to live off our savings, we will run out of money sooner or later!"
What should I do if I have no money? Gu Qingcheng raised her eyebrows and subconsciously looked in the direction of Dongling.
Well, it's better to do it yourself than to leave it to outsiders to destroy...
