Rong Chengxuan had just woken up, his voice still hoarse, "Good morning."
Yun Wanwan also replied, "Good morning!"
Yun Wanwan had thought she'd slept so long that she wouldn't be able to fall asleep again last night. But once she was in Rong Chengxuan's arms, everything changed. Rong Chengxuan had just fallen asleep, and she fell asleep too, listening to his breathing.
She slept well that night. After getting up and washing up, Yun Wanwan specially chose a neat outfit. This was the clothes she designed when she was still in the capital. She gave it to the embroiderers in the tailor shop to make it quickly. It was a bit similar to the ancient riding clothes, but some changes were made to the original design.
In fact, Yun Wanwan also designed a mink cloak later, but the weather is still very hot now, so the mink cloak cannot be used for the time being. But just wearing that riding suit, she already looks very heroic. Not only does it look good, but it is also not cumbersome, which is very suitable for women to move around in places like military camps.
Rong Chengxuan followed Yun Wanwan's instructions and selected five hundred smart and steady soldiers from the army for her and gathered them on the parade ground in Cizhou City.
Yun Wanwan picked and chose some people herself, and finally decided on only two hundred people, which was not even half of the five hundred people selected by Rong Chengxuan.
Yun Wanwan thought carefully. There was no need to equip every soldier with gunpowder and bombs, and it would be difficult to manage them, so she decided to give them only to the soldiers she personally selected, and only teach them how to use these gunpowder and bombs.
Although Yun Wanwan only picked out two hundred people, the sudden appearance of gunpowder and bombs in this era of cold weapons was still very shocking.
Yun Wanwan firmly believed that with these preparations, although she could not boast that it was foolproof, it would be a pipe dream for the Western Zhou Dynasty to achieve victory over such a super-temporal and space-time armed force.
After all, one was using cold weapons, and the other was using advanced modern weapons, a generational shift. Cold weapons meeting modern gadgets was like a son meeting a father who was ten thousand times more powerful than him. It would also save Rong Chengxuan a lot of effort and minimize casualties.
Of course, the management of gunpowder bombs is the top priority among these things. At present, except Rong Chengxuan and the soldiers she selected, she does not intend to let anyone come into contact with these things. No matter what, these things should not appear now.
Yun Wanwan had struggled internally when she decided to reveal to Rong Chengxuan that she could make these things. It was still the era of cold weapons, and the emergence of modern weapons was something Yun Wanwan understood better than anyone else.
She also couldn't guarantee that other countries, knowing that Beichen had such weapons, would not also mobilize their entire national strength to develop such gunpowder and bombs, or that these gunpowder and bombs would be used by other people with ulterior motives to do something harmful to the world.
In the end, although Yun Wanwan decided to help Rong Chengxuan make these, she didn't want people of this era to have too much contact with these modern weapons. She just treated them as mysterious weapons in Rong Chengxuan's army. She would leave this matter until later when she was alone with the soldiers she had selected, and then she would emphasize to them again and again not to leak out how these things were used.
Yun Wanwan was very efficient. As soon as she decided on the candidate, she led her group to the mountain behind Cizhou City.
Before setting off, Yun Wanwan called Ge Zichen and Xiao Song aside. Yes, Ge Zichen and Xiao Song were both selected by Yun Wanwan. Although Ge Zichen sometimes had a bad temper, just as he said, no one in the military camp was smarter than him.
Xiao Song was chosen because when Yun Wanwan decided to select someone to teach about gunpowder and bombs, she had decided that he would be the first one to be recruited. After all, Xiao Song's thoughts were so meticulous that even she, a woman, felt ashamed of herself.
As for Yonggan, although he also participated in the selection, he was eliminated by Rong Chengxuan in the first round. After all, with his temperament, he was lucky not to blow himself or his allies up, so there was no way he would be given the opportunity to come into contact with gunpowder and bombs. So he could only envy Ge Zichen and Xiao Song for being able to get their hands on new weapons.
Yun Wanwan called Ge Zichen and Xiao Song aside and said nothing. She pulled out two silver notes from her pocket and placed one in each of their hands. "I don't have anything really impressive, so I'll just keep it simple. I'll be grateful for your continued care from now on."
"What are you talking about, Princess?" Ge Zichen and Xiao Song looked at the banknotes Yun Wanwan handed over and heard what she said. They almost fell to their knees. "These are what we subordinates should do, so Princess, please quickly take back the banknotes and other things."
Yun Wanwan ignored them and insisted on handing all the banknotes over to them. "You can take these with confidence. Following me, Yun Wanwan, I will definitely not treat you unfairly. I just hope you can treat me like a master like Rong Chengxuan."
"If you haven't adjusted yet, you can get along with me the same way you normally get along with him. But you can rest assured that my temper is much better than his, so you can joke with me without worry. And be sure to tell me if you have any problems."
"Thank you, Princess." Even though Xiao Song and Ge Zichen did not have Yun Wanwan's banknote, they had already recognized Yun Wanwan as their master in their hearts.
Now, having received Yun Wanwan's reward and been pierced by her heartfelt words, they felt tears welling up in their eyes as they tucked the banknotes into their arms. They had thought themselves strong men after spending so much time with Rong Chengxuan in the military camp, but they had never expected to fall prey to Yun Wanwan's hand today.
Compared to Xiao Song, Ge Zichen was even more exaggerated. He wiped a tear from his face and blew his nose. It seemed that Yun Wanwan had deeply moved him. When he calmed down, he said, "Before I left the capital, a letter arrived from home saying that my sister was getting married."
"I was thinking about sending it back home along with the money I've saved over the years when I get the reward after a victory. I didn't expect the princess to give me so much right away. Now, my sister can get married in style."
Seeing that Ge Zichen was about to start acting, Xiao Song was worried that he would cry and talk non-stop. He was already used to Ge Zichen's style, but Yun Wanwan didn't know it.
