Chapter 124 Refugee Camp

The next day, after breakfast, Qin Mu led a hundred energetic soldiers and officers to recruit soldiers to the refugee area near the south of the city.

These soldiers and officers were very excited about Qin Mu's promise and got up early in the morning. They all dressed up carefully and looked full of energy.

The refugee camp in the southern suburbs of the capital is the only place in the imperial capital where refugees who fled from other places gather. Thieves, hooligans and refugees were mostly planned in this area by the imperial officers and soldiers, becoming the most ugly endorsement place in the imperial capital.

As soon as Qin Mu and his soldiers stepped into this area, they could ask about a disgusting smell of musty smell coming towards them. The sight of them was full of refugees, which were more like beggars than refugees.

"Sir, are you really going to recruit soldiers here? Look at these people, they look like they can't stand up to the wall. If you recruit them back, it may just be a waste of food. You really can't tell what kind of combat they can do?"

Liang Qiming, the commander standing aside, covered his nose while wondering that Liang Qiming was a nobleman, so he had never been to such a refugee camp.

"Haha, you're wrong. These refugees look pale and thin, and they don't have enough food. If they are given a full meal and have reasonable training, they will definitely be the elites in the army in the future."

Speaking of here, seeing that there were no people around, he whispered to Liang Qiming: "Except for these refugees who are not full and don't wear warm clothes, who would want to go to the northwest with us to take risks? Be content."

“What the adults said is.”

Liang Qiming thought about it and felt that Lord Qin was right. Now, except for these refugees who are not full and don’t have enough clothes, no one is willing to go to the northwest to die.

"You know, these refugees are willing to fight for you because they have no home behind them and no people who care about them. As long as you are willing to let go of your identity and care about them, they will definitely be loyal to you all their lives. This is why I chose them. Also, now there are a few or two days left before departure, and there is no chance to train at all, and I have to worry about them violating discipline. Instead of finding ways to get some regular soldiers, these people are obviously easier to control."

Qin Mu said as he brought everyone to a group of refugees, bent down and helped an old man lying on the ground.

Some soldiers set up stalls and began to send some dry food to those refugees that Qin Mu arranged for people to buy from the market yesterday.

Qin Mu took the wheat cake from a soldier and gave it to the elderly refugee around him. Then he sang to the group of refugees who were crowded to collect goods: "Dear fellow villagers of the Great Qin Empire! Today, I, Qin Mu, the county magistrate of the Dechuan County northwest of the Great Qin Empire, distribute food here. We provide high-quality wheat cakes, fresh pork, and quilts... I believe that we can get temporary food and clothing for everyone. But this is just a day's sumptuousness, and instant happiness does not mean eternity. Although a plate of pork is delicious, it cannot fill your stomach."

Qin Mu moved his body to practice the "Vajra Jue" and his voice spread from afar in this refugee area, full of warm sounds, which reached everyone's ears.

I know that many of you are young and promising Zhuang relatives. I believe that as long as you work hard, everyone will have a bright future. But I don’t understand why you have to stay in this place where only mice can stay. Do you really want to do this in your heart? Haven’t you ever thought about going out for a while, succeeding and becoming a hero for future generations to worship?”

...

"Hmph, sir, we are all homeless refugees. The Empire has never cared about us. We can only live here by giving alms and taking temporary workers from some kind-hearted people in the city. No official in the court has ever taken care of our lives or death."

After a long silence, the elderly refugee spoke, his tone full of helplessness and unwillingness, and also a desire for survival and a better life.

...

"Yes, no one has ever cared about us. Sometimes we can't eat for a few days, and even God despises us as a group of people who are in distress."

"Who doesn't want to have a good life to live, have a goal to work hard, but we haven't, and no one has ever given us any chance."

...

A series of uneven sounds followed one after another, some people scolded angrily, some people agreed on the side, and some people were even too lazy to talk, so they just received the food and hid under the broken tent aside to enjoy it.

Several non-commissioned officers around Qin Mu were planning to go out and ask these people to shut up, but he stopped them. He knew that these people had always accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction with the empire, and it was rare that there was a chance for them to vent today... So Qin Mu just listened quietly to their complaints.

...

"Sir, you are a good person. In your busy schedule, you also thought of us hungry mice. We are very grateful."

"Yes, thank you very much. Although you don't know that you have achieved your goal, at least you have saved many refugees who are about to starve to death today."

"If the officials and nobles of the Qin Dynasty were like you, we wouldn't have to worry about life at all."

...

"People, please stop and listen to me!"

When these refugees were almost the same, Qin Mu spoke again, and his powerful voice immediately interrupted many people's words.

"Opportunities! You usually rely on your own control. I don't want to do unnecessary temptations. Qin Mu, the county magistrate of Tokugawa County in the northwest, the day after tomorrow, I will go to the northwest to take office. The court granted me the right to recruit soldiers, so I brought my soldiers here to hold a soldier recruitment ceremony."

Qin Mu paused, looking at everyone below with a terrifying courage, "I hope to recruit some brave soldiers here. It would be clear that this trip to the northwest is absolutely dangerous, and the future is also very difficult, but I can guarantee that as long as you follow me and spend these difficult days, your future will be very bright."

"If you want to have meat every day, to start a family, to achieve success, then you are welcome to join. Again, we only need a group of brave soldiers, a group of soldiers who obey any of my missions, regardless of their origin, strength or appearance, most importantly, he must have what a man should have - a kind of person!"

"Of course, this trip is in crisis. For everyone's good, I only recruit soldiers over thirteen and under forty years old. If you are willing to leave, come to my place to register."

Many eyes below flashed with impulse, but then it became dim. Most of them were young and strong young refugees. It was obvious that everyone was not fools. They knew that this was a matter of life. There was no love for no reason in this world, nor did they hate for no reason. Since Mr. Qin came to the refugee camp to recruit his people to join the army, this trip to the northwest would definitely be in danger. You must know that some of these refugees fled from the northwest. Many people were unwilling to let them go back to the northwest.

"Didn't you just now that no one gave you a chance? Why? Now someone has given a chance, but they all have become mutes? Are you really willing to be like a bastard hiding in this ditch for the rest of your life until the end of your life? Although I don't know why Lord Qin chose you without using the regular army, I just want to say that you are a group of short-sighted and poor people."

Staring at the refugees who didn't say a word, Liang Qiming, who stood beside Qin Mu, couldn't help but sarcastically.

After waiting for a while, Liang Qiming continued, "Think clearly, you can seize the opportunity by yourself! If you miss today, I believe you will regret it for the rest of your life."

...

"Sir, can women join the army?" asked a girl in tattered clothes and dirty face in the crowd.

Qin Mu's eyes looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a girl with a face that was so dirty that she couldn't see clearly when she looked. After thinking about it, she said, "Yes, as long as she has never given birth to a child, it's okay for anyone between the ages of fourteen and twenty-five."

Although female soldiers in the Great Qin Empire are rarely seen, it does not mean that there are no female soldiers. According to Qin Mu, there is a legion of all female soldiers in the empire called Fengwu Legion. The marshal of this legion is also a woman, known as Yu Fengwu, one of the three beauties of the Great Qin Empire.

Yu Fengwu, now 25 years old, was known as the strongest woman in Eurasia. She led her father to fight on behalf of her father at the age of fifteen. She became famous in the north of the empire and defeated the enemy. The Nine Heavens Fengwu Formation she created was a great defeat.

Then, three battles and three victories were won, and the northern power of the Huns had no power to fight back, so they had to sign the alliance under the city. The northern border of the Qin Empire was safe and sound from then on, but in order to shock the powerful countries in the north, they did not dare to rush their troops to move south, Yu Fengwu and her Fengwu Legion were stationed in the north for many years.

"Sir, do you have military pay for joining the army?" asked a man in his thirties, a pale and thin man with a pale face and skinny face.

"Yes, like the army in the imperial capital, an ordinary soldier will never deduct three or two silver dollars a month. If anyone dares to deduct military pay, he will be executed."

Qin Mu said loudly that the army is one of the fundamentals of a country's stability. Qin Mu knew very well that deducting military pay from military soldiers is undoubtedly a self-destruction. Therefore, Qin Mu would never allow anyone to deduct the silver sound of his army. Whoever dared to deduct it would have to be killed.

"Sir, can I join the army with my wife?" asked a man who looked in his twenties.

"Yes, as long as you don't join the army with your underage children, you can. Your wife must be incorporated into the female soldiers team, and the army has military rules. Once you join the army, you and your wife are not allowed to meet without the consent of the officer."

Qin Mu replied that Qin Mu did not reject such husband and wife soldiers, after all, this was beneficial to the cohesion of the army.
