Abandoned daughter takes charge of the family, so rich that even the best people can't envy

Kang Ning was so frightened that he knelt down immediately. "The token was taken away by my cousin."

"What? You actually gave him the token?" The eldest princess showed a murderous look.

She had stolen this token when Enyi was seriously ill. If Su Mo knew about this...

Kang Ning quickly said, "Yes, it was Aunt Hu. She said this was a token of love from 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, do you still want the Princess of Danyang County to marry him?"

The eldest princess sighed, "Forget it. I originally thought that since Kang Ning couldn't marry Su Mo, then let the Princess of Danyang marry him. As long as they had a child, the Zihu token could be used..."

Princess Kangning, who had just left the house, couldn't help but twist the handkerchief in her hand when she heard this, feeling a sense of gloating in her heart.

Although she gave up Su Mo, she couldn't marry the man herself, and the Princess of Danyang County wanted to take advantage of him? She could only dream.

Song Jinxiu arrived at the Xishan camp. The soldiers who were selected to go to the southern Xinjiang battlefield were packing their bags. They had two days to go home and reunite with their families and prepare to go to southern Xinjiang.

When they heard that Princess Kangle was coming to inspect the military camp, everyone knelt down and kowtowed, "Greetings, Princess."

Song Jinxiu waved her hand and said, "Everyone, get up. This princess will serve as the military supervisor and will go to the southern border with everyone to defend our country. From now on, we will be comrades-in-arms."

As she spoke, she checked their bags, armor, and weapons.

Seeing that Princess Kang Le had no airs at all, everyone became bolder. At first, they didn't dare to look directly at her, 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 before, so she came here to watch the fun, right?

Look, she has never seen armor before, and she is trolling around. How can she lift our Cangwu's ring-handled sword?

Song Jinxiu picked up the ring-handled sword, tested its weight in her hand, and swung it in a sword flower.

Everyone couldn't help but gasp. It seemed that the eldest princess was quite strong.

Song Jinxiu looked at the blade again and couldn't help frowning.

Although she taught the Ministry of Industry the technique of refining steel, the time was too short and the refined steel was used to make bows and crossbows. Even if there were other weapons, they were mainly used by soldiers at the border.

Therefore, the soldiers of the Xishan camp still used their old weapons.

Look at their bows and arrows.

Song Jinxiu picked up the quiver and looked at it. It was full of goose feather arrows. The scissors were made of iron.

She had just taken a look around the weapons camp and had an idea in mind. There were not many crossbows. It would probably take some time to equip all 5,000 people with crossbows.

No, we need to put more pressure on the weapons battalion. Weapons are very important for soldiers going to the battlefield.

"Where are your horses?"

"Princess, we are infantry, and the cavalry battalion is at Huishankou."

Song Jinxiu couldn't help but be stunned. So these 5,000 soldiers were all cavalry?

Seeing Song Jinxiu's disappointed expression, a captain 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 kind of soldiers they were. She just wanted to see the horses.

The centurion quickly notified the scout battalion to come and perform horse riding for Princess Kangle.

When the scouts heard that Princess Kangle was coming to see them riding horses, they were all very excited.

They are not infantrymen who are stuck here in the mud and water and only know how to train every day. They are well-informed.

Princess Kangle is not 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.

If they could show up in front of her and get praised by her, their careers would skyrocket.

Therefore, the twenty-four members of the scout camp jumped on their horses and began to perform their special skills such as "three arrows on one horse" and circling left and right on horseback.

One of the scouts shot three arrows on horseback and couldn't help but secretly look 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 steady the horse.

Just this moment, his face 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 Song Jinxiu and the others finished their performances, she nodded and said, "Not bad, your riding skills are all good, and your one horse, three arrows shooting is also good."

As she spoke, she came to the scout's horse amid the excited smiles on everyone's faces who had received praise.

The scout hurriedly dismounted and was about to kneel down to apologize, 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're riding well, it's the saddle that's the problem."

The princess not only did not scold him for riding like that, but also blamed the saddle for the incident. The scout was deeply moved.

Unexpectedly, the princess who was so high and mighty was so sympathetic to the soldiers. He wanted to sign up and follow 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 consist of several layers of linen underneath, with a cork pommel on top to support the rider. The entire saddle is tied to the horse's belly with a cloth strap. A rider's body is supported entirely by their hips and buttocks, with their legs playing no role. Balance is primarily controlled by the reins, so attempting to shoot from a horse would easily lead to a loss of balance and a fall.

Therefore, these more than 20 scouts, who can shoot three arrows on one horse and perform difficult movements on horseback, are 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 took out a pen and paper. "I'll draw a diagram for you. You can modify it yourself. Then you won't fall off the saddle so 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 around. From now on, military horse saddles should be made according to this. Especially the stirrups and girths; they must be included."

Zhou Kunran was a top scholar, so he was naturally very knowledgeable. He immediately recognized the beauty of the saddle.

"The Princess is truly intelligent. I will personally oversee this."

Song Jinxiu's actions that day were 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 by Song Jinxiu's side, obeying her orders, so he has seen her every move and submitted to her in his heart.

Moreover, since it concerned Princess Kangle, His Majesty was very interested. One liked to talk, the other liked to listen, and gradually they developed a habit. Every day during the work report, Song Jinxiu's affairs were indispensable.

Liu Renxiu sighed, "My Princess Kangle is finally going to polish the feathers of the Ministry of War."

Suddenly I’m looking forward to it!

After a day of running around, when the moon was above the willows, Song Jinxiu finally rushed home.

She had to talk to her mother about her trip to southern Xinjiang, as she was afraid she would worry again.

From a distance, I saw a bald man looking around at the door of my house.
