In order to leave a good impression of Ge Zichen in Yun Wanwan's mind and think that he is actually a reliable person, Xiao Song did the same thing as Ge Zichen did to him a few days ago. He covered Ge Zichen's mouth to prevent him from continuing to talk nonsense.
"Okay, don't get too excited. I didn't just ask you to come here to give you money. I also have a mission to assign to you."
Yun Wanwan looked at Ge Zichen, who was already crying, and said helplessly, "Xiao Song, go write out the list of the soldiers I just selected and give it to me. Then gather them together. Remember, we must gather at the mountain pass behind Cizhou City. Let's go to the back mountain. Ge Zichen—" She pointed to the two carriages behind her, "Find someone, and each of you drive one over."
Since Yun Wanwan still hadn't learned to ride a horse, she rode in the carriage to her designated location. When she dismounted and saw the dense crowd of people standing before her, she was once again impressed by Rong Chengxuan's excellent command of his troops.
The soldiers selected by Yun Wanwan assembled quickly under the command of Xiao Song. People were very excited when they saw Yun Wanwan get off the carriage. They knew that Yun Wanwan was here to teach them how to use the latest weapons.
Faced with the soldiers' excitement, Yun Wanwan didn't say much, but instead led her men all the way to an open area behind the mountain. This was what Rong Chengxuan had told her today.
When Yun Wanwan woke up this morning, she complained to Rong Chengxuan that she had not yet found a secluded place to train the soldiers she was about to select. Then Rong Chengxuan pointed out a location to her and said that this was the place he had specially come up the mountain to investigate for Yun Wanwan a few days ago. He had known for a long time that Yun Wanwan needed such a place to train the soldiers who were to be selected.
Rong Chengxuan told Yun Wanwan that the location was very secluded, located between two mountains in Cizhou City, in an open area. Yun Wanwan also instructed Rong Chengxuan to first inform the soldiers in the camp, telling them not to disturb her no matter what noise they heard. The training process must be kept confidential.
This was the quiet place Yun Wanwan needed. After arriving, she distributed the small purses she had prepared in advance. Not only did Ge Zichen and Xiao Song receive the reward money, but even the soldiers Yun Wanwan had just selected today received the reward money.
When Yun Wanwan distributed the reward money, she also told everyone that each purse contained the same amount of money, a silver note of one hundred taels for each person, which was her reward for everyone's new start. The soldiers jumped up and cheered for joy, but this made Yun Wanwan feel a little embarrassed, which was rare.
The money she used to reward people came from Rong Chengxuan. If she were to take out so much money at once, she would become a wealthy woman.
Yun Wanwan's purpose of giving rewards to these soldiers was very simple. She thought that everyone would go to the battlefield soon, and once on the battlefield, her life would be inseparable from the lives of these soldiers. The soldiers had to trust her, and she also had to trust these soldiers.
Manager Yun Wanwan also has her own set of methods. At least the small favors and necessary military supplies on a daily basis must be sufficient.
While she was daydreaming, the soldiers had already put the banknotes in their arms. Although they also showed emotion on their faces this time, at least it was not as exaggerated as Ge Zichen's just now.
Seeing Yun Wanwan making some noise, Xiao Song stood beside her and reminded her, "Princess, what are we going to do next?"
Yun Wanwan finally came to her senses after hearing Xiao Song's voice. She smiled calmly and asked Xiao Song to act as her messenger. She spoke a sentence, and Xiao Song repeated it. "Why are we gathered here today? Obviously everyone knows the reason. Yes! Today I want to show you some new weapons."
"These weapons are the secret weapons of our barracks, to be used in future wars with the Western Zhou people. Because of their special nature, I've only equipped them to you present. For the other soldiers, you are both lucky and unlucky. Before I show you those new weapons, I have a few things to tell you."
"Listen carefully. No matter what you see or how shocked you are, you can express it right here and in front of me. I won't say anything. But once you leave this mountainous area and return to the barracks, you must keep everything you see a secret and don't reveal a single word to anyone. Understand?"
"I know!" the generals replied in unison, each wondering what the secret weapon was that Yun Wanwan had been able to conceal from even the soldiers in the main camp. They were also secretly anticipating what new weapon Yun Wanwan would bring out later.
This anticipation lasted until Yun Wanwan lifted the curtains of the two carriages that had been driven over, and until she took out the gunpowder, bombs, and grenades she had spent the past ten days developing, and then demonstrated them to the crowd. Seeing the lethality and destructive power these two items caused, everyone stood there dumbfounded.
This was exactly what Yun Wanwan had said just now, shocking, indeed very shocking. In all their lives, they had never seen a weapon as lethal as the one in Yun Wanwan's hand today.
No wonder Yun Wanwan told them in advance that these weapons must not be revealed at all. If they were revealed and known to Xizhou or the Western Regions, then it would not be Xizhou and his men who would be beaten, but themselves.
Moreover, if every country has such a weapon with great destructive power, and they are thrown at each other, it will definitely cause a scene of devastating loss of lives.
Faced with such a shocking scene, they chose an unusual way to express their shock. One by one, two by three, they all squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands, trembling.
Of course, those people included Ge Zichen and Xiao Song, who had already anticipated the power of gunpowder and bombs. While they knew they were powerful, they hadn't expected them to be this powerful. Furthermore, Yun Wanwan had also brought out a new item they hadn't heard of: a grenade.
Not only did Ge Zichen and Xiao Song not know about this thing, even Rong Chengxuan didn't know that Yun Wanwan had made something called a grenade.
Yun Wanwan had actually already prepared the necessary gunpowder and bombs on the sixth day, but since she had enough materials left, she started making a simple grenade herself.
