After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains

Otherwise, she wouldn't have wandered around the weapons prison area and found something to do for herself.

I didn't expect that there would be a follow-up to this task that I took on voluntarily.

Wanqi Lou smiled and said, "Your Highness, I am willing to serve you, but I still need to go through the transfer procedure."

After all, she was a general with a full-time job, so even if she was sidelined, her official position remained.

"no problem!"

Chun Ning agreed immediately and thought for a moment before saying, "Why don't I tell my mother and ask her to transfer you to the palace?"

After returning yesterday, she selected the candidates to be trained as female soldiers, and they all entered the palace early this morning.

If it weren't for this batch of crossbows, she would also be in the palace now.

The Queen Mother wanted to train female soldiers, and the Jinwu Guards were composed entirely of men.

Wanqi Lou is a female general who was promoted based on her real military merits. She has also followed Prince Anle in battles on the frontier for many years. She will definitely become a good helper to her mother, the queen.

The more Chun Ning thought about it, the more it made sense. So he told Wanqi Lou the whole story and asked her opinion: "General Wanqi, are you willing?"

Training female soldiers for his mother would better enable Wanqi Lou to utilize his abilities than teaching only himself.

As for myself, I will go to the palace and let her teach me together.

"willing!"

Wanqi Lou's eyes sparkled, and he agreed immediately, cupping his hands in gratitude: "Thank you for your favor, Your Highness."

Seeing her like this, Chun Ning felt very happy.

It turns out that the feeling of accomplishing something is so good.

Great sense of accomplishment.

Just do it.

Chun Ning immediately asked Lan Xiang to prepare a carriage and take Wan Qi Lou into the palace, also bringing five crossbows along.

Inside the Imperial Palace, the air was filled with tension as the war was approaching.

Chunning came to nothing, as the Empress Dowager was not in Xining Palace.

The palace maid who stayed behind told her that the Queen Mother was now in the inner training ground.

The inner training ground is used for the Jinwu Guards to perform martial arts and sometimes to host competitions such as Cuju. The venue is wide and flat.

It is a place that concubines in the harem rarely set foot in on weekdays.

However, today is an exception.

The parade ground was filled with beautiful girls from all over the palace. There were at least two to three thousand of them at a glance.

They were not wearing ordinary clothes, but instead had on women's Hu clothing made by the Shangyi Bureau, with leather ropes about three fingers long tied at the wrists and ankles to facilitate movement.

Except for the Empress Dowager and Empress Xie who were wearing armor, everyone else, regardless of rank, was dressed the same.

But they didn't seem to be doing anything, just standing there?

Chun Ning was confused, but did not dare to step forward and ask.

The atmosphere in the inner training ground was very serious, and the queen mother's expression was even more stern.

Chun Ning saw the more than 30 people sent from her house, and they looked like they were about to cry.

Wanqi Lou nodded secretly in his heart.

When she heard Chun Ning's story, she thought that the Empress Dowager just wanted the concubines to realize the seriousness of the situation and did not really want to train them into female soldiers.

It's not that she looked down on the delicate palace concubines, but everyone has their own expertise. How could she expect a woman who had lived a life of luxury and had never exercised her body to endure such rigorous training?

But the Queen Mother looked serious.

To train women who have never been to a military camp into capable female soldiers, the first step is to train their obedience.

Going to the battlefield is no joke.

The first thing a soldier must learn is to obey the orders of his superiors unconditionally.

The Queen Mother requires standing as the first step. This seemingly simple action requires strict compliance with orders, which is a training for obedience.

However, although Wanqi Lou did not know much about the harem, he knew that many of the concubines there came from wealthy families. Could they be so obedient and stand there when told to?

His eyes swept across the entire place, and the three execution racks standing in the front silently told the story of what had happened before.

There was no one on the execution rack, but there were traces of blood.

The Queen Mother was the oldest among the women, and her figure was as straight as a pine tree.

Empress Xie, who was half a step behind her, turned pale, but the pride of a girl from an aristocratic family made her never admit defeat, no matter what.

They had learned a bloody lesson, and the two most honorable people in the harem had always been there for them. No matter how much dissatisfaction and complaints they had, they could only grit their teeth and persevere.

When the Empress Dowager saw Chunning coming, she did not rest immediately.

She didn't raise her right hand until the thick stick of incense in the incense burner burned out. "Rest for a quarter of an hour."

The women obeyed the order as if they had been pardoned.

Most of the women collapsed to the ground immediately, not caring about their status, position, etiquette, etc. They just sat on the ground to rest, unable to utter a word.

Fortunately, it is late autumn and the sun is not very hot.

If this happened in the middle of summer, I'm afraid several weak women would faint just from practicing standing postures.

On the contrary, several high-ranking concubines, such as Concubine Jing and Concubine Zheng, would leave the training ground and sit down when they had a break.

"Mother."

Chun Ning brought Wan Qi Lou forward to greet him, and said with a smile: "I have brought you a good helper, General Wan Qi."

The Queen Mother nodded slightly: "I know you."

Wanqi Lou was flattered and stepped forward to greet him.

Queen Xie looked at her with some curiosity, thinking to herself: She is indeed a heroine, no wonder she almost caused the eldest princess and Prince Anle to divorce.

In order to create the illusion of a divorce, this candidate was naturally not someone Qin Yaoguang picked at random.

In addition to the fact that Wanqi Tower appeared in the original book, she does have this condition.

Wanqi Lou is a female general promoted by Yan Changqing. She and Yan Changqing have a comradeship and an emotional foundation.

Her appearance is very different from that of Han women. She has deep facial features, a heroic look and bright eyes.

Her every move was quick and decisive, with the fortitude that can only be seen in military commanders, yet she possessed the natural soft curves of a woman.

What a heroic female general!

Even though she was a woman, she still admired him.

The Empress Dowager asked Wanqi Lou a few questions, and Chunning brought up the matter of transfer.

"That's right."

The Queen Mother looked at Chun Ning and praised: "You did a good job on this matter."

Chun Ning narrowed his eyes in happiness because of the compliments.

With the Empress Dowager's words, the military camp released the man without hesitation, and Wanqi Lou became a member of the Jinwu Guard.

However, her direct supervisor is the Empress Dowager.

With Wanqi Lou as a capable assistant, the training of female soldiers in the palace gradually became more organized from being unsuccessful in the beginning.

No more news came from Qin Yaoguang, but Prince Ruyang had already captured Anxing and was approaching the capital.

The Gyeonggi camp is fully armed and ready to fight the enemy.

However, how to fight the enemy has become a difficult problem.

The court was divided into two factions. One faction believed that they should set up camp outside the capital to resist the enemy and keep them out.

One group believed that doing so would only result in unnecessary sacrifices, and that it would be better to bring all the soldiers from the main camp into the capital, and use the city gates to gather the rest of the armed forces, including the Beijing Military Department, to resist the army.

The dispute started when Prince Ruyang besieged Anxing and continued until the enemy army was about to arrive at the city, but there was still no result.

"stop fighting!"

The emperor was furious and pointed his finger at the courtiers below him one by one: "If you keep arguing, the enemy will come charging in!"
