Kang Ning was so scared that he knelt down immediately, "The token was taken away by my cousin."
"What? You actually gave him the token?" The eldest princess gave a murderous look.
She stole this token when Enyi was seriously ill. This is to let Su Mo know...
Kang Ning said quickly, "Yes, it was Aunt Hu. She said this is a token of love given by my aunt, and asked me to..."
"Get out, you useless thing. You are not allowed to step out of the room without my order." The eldest princess was so angry that her heart and lungs ached.
Princess Corning quickly retreated.
Inside the room, the head maid said, "Master, without the Zihu token, can the Princess of Danyang still marry him?"
The eldest princess sighed, "Forget it. Later I thought, since Kang Ning can't marry Su Mo, let the Princess of Danyang marry him. As long as the child is born, the Zihu token can be used..."
Princess Kangning, who had just left the house, twisted the handkerchief in her hand when she heard this, feeling gloating in her heart.
Although she gave up Su Mo, she couldn't marry someone she wanted to marry, and the Princess of Danyang County wanted to take advantage of him? Dream on.
When Song Jinxiu arrived at the Xishan camp, the soldiers who were selected to go to the battlefield in southern Xinjiang were packing their bags. They had two months to go home and reunite to prepare for going to southern Xinjiang.
When they heard that it was Princess Kangle who came to inspect the military camp, everyone knelt down and kowtowed, "Greetings, Princess."
Song Jinxiu waved her hand and said, "Everyone, get up. Princess Wang will serve as the military supervisor and will go to southern Xinjiang with everyone to defend the country. In the future, we will be comrades-in-arms."
As she spoke, she checked their bags, armor, and weapons.
Seeing that Princess Kang Le was not arrogant at all, everyone became bolder. At first they didn't dare to look directly at it, but now they all raised their heads and took a sneak peek.
This little girl is their princess military supervisor?
Such a young girl, has she never seen a war? Is she just here to watch the fun?
Look, she has never seen armor before, and she is fiddling with it. How can she lift our Cangwu's ring-shaped head?
Song Jinxiu picked up the ring, tested its weight in her hand, and made a flower shape.
Everyone couldn't help but gasp. It seemed that the eldest princess was quite strong.
Song Jinxiu looked at the blade again and frowned.
Although she taught everyone the art of refining steel, the time was too short and all the refined steel was used to make crossbows. Even other weapons were used by soldiers at the border.
The soldiers in the Xishan camp were still using old weapons.
Look at their arrows again.
Song Jinxiu picked up the quiver and took a look. It was full of goose-feather arrows. The scissors are made of iron.
She had just gone to the weapons camp for a walk and had already counted them in her mind. There were not many crossbows. It would probably take some time to equip all the thousand men with crossbows.
No, we have to increase pressure on the weapons battalion. Soldiers go to the battlefield and the weapons are very heavy.
"Where are your horses?"
"Princess, we are infantry, and the cavalry battalion is in Huishankou."
Song Jinxiu was stunned for a moment. These thousands of soldiers were all cavalry.
Seeing Song Jinxiu's disappointed expression, a centurion came up and said, "The princess wants to see the horses, and we also have a team of scouts.
Song Jinxiu nodded. It didn’t matter what type of soldiers they were. She just wanted to see the horses.
The centurion immediately notified the scout battalion to come over and perform horse riding for Princess Kangle.
When the scouts heard that Princess Kang Le was coming to see them riding horses, they were all very excited.
They are not the infantry trapped in the mud and water here who only know how to train. They are well-informed.
Princess Kangle is more than just a princess. She is also a first-rank cabinet minister, the head of all officials. She is on equal footing with the Prime Minister and is more favored by the emperor than Lord Zhu of the Imperial City.
This is to show off in front of her, and get a compliment from her, and their careers will soar.
Therefore, the twenty-four members of the scout camp jumped on their horses and began to perform their specialties such as “one horse, three arrows” and circling left and right on horseback.
One of the scouts shot three arrows on horseback and couldn't help but secretly glance at Song Jinxiu. His eyes met hers and he got so excited that the saddle under him shook and he almost fell off.
Fortunately, he was an excellent rider, and he used his hips to stabilize the horse.
Just this time, his face suddenly turned pale.
Especially when he saw Song Jinxiu frowning, the scout felt a lump in his throat and almost cried.
Having embarrassed himself in front of the princess, is his military career over?
After everyone finished their performance, Song Jinxiu nodded and said, "Not bad, your riding skills are good, and your one horse three arrows shooting is also good."
As she spoke, she came up to the scout's horse amid the excited smiles on everyone's faces at having been praised.
The scout hurriedly dismounted and knelt down to plead guilty, but Song Jinxiu held him up.
Song Jinxiu patted his arm. Actually, she wanted to pat his shoulder, but he was quite tall and she couldn't reach him.
"You ride well, it's the saddle that's the problem."
The princess not only did not scold him for riding like this, but also blamed the saddle for the responsibility, which moved the scout deeply.
Unexpectedly, the princess who was so high and mighty was so sympathetic to the soldiers. He signed up and followed the princess to southern Xinjiang.
Of course Song Jinxiu saw the scene where the scout almost fell off the saddle, and she noticed the problem with the saddle at that time.
The saddles here have several layers of linen underneath and a cork saddle on top to support the rider. The entire saddle is tied to the horse's belly with a cloth belt. When a person rides on a horse, the whole body is supported by the hips and buttocks. The legs do not play any role. The balance of the human body is mainly adjusted by the reins in the hands. If you want to shoot on horseback, you will easily lose your center of gravity and fall down.
Therefore, these twenty-odd scouts, who were able to shoot three arrows on one horse and perform difficult moves on horseback, were probably all selected experts in horseback archery.
"Are all the saddles in our Cangwu military camp like this?" she asked.
"yes,"
Song Jinxiu nodded, and she took out a pen and paper, "I'll draw a diagram for you, and you can modify it yourself, so that you won't fall off the saddle easily in the future."
After Song Jinxiu came out of the Xishan camp, she went straight to the Ministry of War and handed the modern saddle structure drawing she had drawn to the Minister of War Zhou Kunran.
"Master Zhou, have someone draw a few more copies and pass them down. The saddles for the rear army horses will be made according to this. Especially the stirrups and girths, they must be made in the same way."
Zhou Kunran was born in a peasant family, so naturally he had extraordinary knowledge. The beauty of this saddle can be seen at a glance.
"The princess is really smart. I will personally supervise the process."
Song Jinxiu's action was quickly reported to the emperor by Zhu Beichen.
In fact, although Zhu Beichen was the head of the Imperial City Secret Service, he did not report everything to the emperor.
It's just that he has always been following Song Jinxiu and obeying her orders, so he has seen her every move. Also surrender in the heart.
Moreover, since it was about Princess Kangle's affairs, His Majesty was very interested in them. One liked to talk, the other liked to listen, and they gradually developed a habit. Every time I report on my work, Song Jinxiu's work is indispensable.
Liu Renxiu said with emotion: "My Princess Kangle has finally polished the feather of the Ministry of War."
Suddenly I'm looking forward to it!
After running around for a while, the moon was above the treetops, and Song Jinxiu finally hurried home.
She still needs to talk to her mother about her trip to southern Xinjiang. I'm afraid she's worried again.
From a distance, I saw a bald man looking around at the door of my house.
