At night, Wei Zhongxian's residence

"Sir, this is the list of soldiers recruited today." Liang Qiming, the commander of the thousand-time men, handed the roster to Qin Mu and said.

Tomorrow morning, everyone will take the army to the northwest. Tonight, all the officials above centurion in the army will gather together to hold a military meeting.

Those attending the meeting this time were Zhu Yongqing, Li Dadan, Liu Xiaoshan, Deng Dashan, Mi Dahuan, Ding Daniu, and other officers in the army, as well as Li Hua, Qin Mu's slaves, Liu Wu and Liu San, the current chief and deputy captains of the personal guards, as well as Xiao Cherry, Yulan, Chimeng, Xiaoyu and others who were attending the interview, a total of twenty people.

This is the first military conference of Qin Mu, and it is also the first military conference of great significance in the history of the Chinese Empire recognized by historians of the Great Empire.

Everyone who attended this meeting left a strong mark in the history of the Great Chinese Empire. These people basically became the founding fathers of the Great Chinese Empire.

"Yes, I didn't expect to recruit 1,500 new recruits in one day." Qin Mu said happily after flipping through the roster.

"Yes, we didn't expect that it was just adults, these people were all untrained recruits and could not go to the battlefield." Liang Qiming said with some concern.

"I know this, but now time is so tight, we can only train while rushing. We will have to work hard during this period of time." Qin Mu thought for a while and said, now everyone is driving the ducks on the shelves, and it will be fine if it doesn't work.

"Yes." All the officers stood up and said.

"Okay, everyone should sit down. Apart from these recruit training, is there anything else to solve?" Qin Mu asked.

"Sir, how do you organize this thousand people?" Liang Qiming asked.

"Now let every centurion lead dozens of veterans to manage No. 300 people. You have experience in this matter. You have arranged it. After we leave the capital, we will organize the army." Qin Mu thought for a while and said.

"Yes." Liang Qiming responded.

"Is there any other problem?" Qin Mu asked.

"Sir, is the food and grass for this number of people not a decimal?" Zhu Youqing said with some concern.

"When you go to Malan to get one million taels of silver, you will immediately purchase food for 2,000 people for three months overnight. The climate in the northwest is similar to that in the capital. The people we recruited have a lot of clothes that are not warm, and you can purchase them together. Yes, medicines, and other necessary equipment for marching. You will be fully responsible for this Youqing." Qin Mu thought for a while and said, "There is not much time now. He can only prepare overnight.

"Sir. Where are the army's weapons?" Liang Qiming asked.

"I can go to the Ministry of War to lead some of this weapon tomorrow, and Eunuch Wei will help us solve the others." Qin Mu said.

"Is there any other problem?" Qin Mu asked.

"Sir, what should we do if we female soldiers?" Lihua asked.

"How many female soldiers do you have now?"

Qin Mu asked curiously, just now he just looked at the roster and knew how many people there were, and how many female soldiers there were. Qin Mu really didn't pay attention.

"Sir, there are quite a few female soldiers. There are more than 500 people." Lihua said proudly.

"More than five hundred people?"

Qin Mu was stunned. Among the 1,500 new recruits he recruited, one-third were from female soldiers. This proportion was too large.

"Yes, sir, I'm so awesome. I've recruited so many people." Lihua said with great help.

"You are amazing. You should take care of those female soldiers first, and wait until you leave the capital to reorganize them." Qin Mu said with some headache.

"Yes." Lihua responded happily.

"Is there any other problem?" Qin Mu asked.

"there is none left."

Everyone thought about it and said that even if there were some small problems, these officers could solve them by themselves, so they would not dare to worry about Qin Mu. After all, everything had to be solved by superiors. What's the use of asking them officers?

"You don't have it, so I will explain one thing, that is, when you set out tomorrow, everyone's clothes will be as bad as possible. It is best to be like beggars, and the weapons and other things will be as bad as possible." Qin Mu explained.

"Sir, why is this?" Lihua asked curiously.

"Don't ask about this, just execute it tomorrow." Qin Mu said.

"Yes." Lihua replied.

"Okay, today's meeting will be here. Everyone will go back and prepare to work hard tonight." Qin Mu stood up and said.

"yes."

Everyone stood up and went back to work hard.

"Master, tonight?" Yulan asked after all the soldiers went out.

"Tonight, let Chimeng and Xiaoyu accompany the master." Qin Mu said with a smile after looking at Chimeng and Xiaoyu.

"It's the master."

Chimeng and Xiaoyu responded with red faces. For them, this is a matter of time. They are already mentally prepared and there is nothing they can't let go.

This is the difference between the women who grew up in the building and those ladies from the ladies of their families. There is not so much etiquette and no hesitation.

...

The next morning, Qin Mu began to wear a bright red official robe, tied up his belt, and tidied up the corners of his clothes, looking at the skylark on his chest reflected in the bronze mirror.

The black hat on the head is also very handsome, with a low front and high back, and a long and oblong hat wing on the back of the head, and a net scarf ties on the left and right, and a hair tied with netting inside the hat.

Under the service of several maids, Qin Mu dressed neatly and put on this official uniform. Qin Mu looked in the mirror and felt more and more like a "bird in clothes and beasts."

In fact, the word "beast in clothes and animals" comes from this, which originally refers to the imperial officials of the Qin Empire.

I don’t know how hatred the founding emperor of the Qin Empire was towards the officials of the previous dynasties. The official uniforms of the Qin Empire changed the style of all dynasties, and were both embroidered birds and painted beasts, making them so lively and fancy and romantic. This is not like the founding emperor of the Qin Empire who has always been thrifty and rigorous.

It is very likely that he made such an official uniform for the officials at the beginning, so he always reminded himself that he was dealing with a group of "beasts" every day, so he had to be careful, be cautious, be cautious, and never be careless and never forget class struggles.

However, Zhao Gao, the founding emperor of the Qin Empire, was very scheming. Even if he really had this meaning, it would never be revealed. We can only guess the vast sky.

After going to the palace to meet the emperor, he went to various departments to complete the relevant procedures. Qin Mu got into a broken car that he didn't know where the people below found. He took more than a thousand officers and soldiers wearing tattered clothes and set off on the streets of the capital city with more than a thousand soldiers.

The people in the capital had never seen soldiers dressed like beggars along the way. They were not one soldier, but more than a thousand people. It can be imagined that the sensation caused by curious people in the capital surrounded them to watch the fun.

Qin Mu bought a knife, hired a broken car, brought a few sets of clothes, and embarked on the "official journey".

Qin Mu followed the principle of being low-key and doing things at a high-profile basis. He naturally had no intention of doing this.

The broken car he was riding in was squeaking and it seemed that he might fall asleep at any time or even split. When the officials in the capital who were asked by the emperor to come and see him off, they couldn't help but feel sweaty. Can this broken car go to the northwest?

Moreover, the soldiers he brought were wearing clothes. On heavy snow, the clothes were either broken a few big holes in the front or exposed a few big holes in the back. Even beggars were wearing better than them, especially the officers inside, who also wore such torn clothes. This was not the army that went out of the imperial capital. It was simply a beggar army.

If Qin Mu had led such an army to the northwest to take office, it would have been embarrassing the officials in the capital and smeared my empire. What kind of tradition would it be? It would have been fine if he didn't come to see him off. If he came, he would have been given some Cheng Yi. In the future, he would have been pointed at by others.

So, under Qin Mu's "decisive refusal", he accepted Cheng Yi "very helplessly". He repeatedly said that if you come to Tokugawa County, I will definitely welcome you and welcome you warmly.

He didn't say it was okay, but the person who said he was seeing him off couldn't help but smile bitterly. It was just your broken place, and the bandits were rampant. Who was full and ran there? Isn't it that the birthday boy hanged himself and thought he had a long life?

In fact, many people gave Cheng Yi to Qin Mu just because of Wei Zhongxian's face in the East Factory. As the admiral of the East Factory and the famous celebrity in front of the emperor, Wei Zhongxian gave it all. It would be a bit "extraordinary" if you don't give it to him.

On the other hand, Qin Mu's reputation has been resounding all over the world recently. Hundreds of taels of silver are not a big deal for these people. One more friend in the officialdom is a way, so it is hard to say when it will be used.

In short, when Qin Mu came out of the western gate of the capital, he had several million taels of silver in his arms. There was no way, who would let the more officials in the capital, especially high-ranking officials. You said that a seventh-rank Hanlin gave 100 taels of silver. You are the first and second-rank officials who would be embarrassed to give 100 taels of silver. You can give 100 taels of silver, but you can't give 100 taels of silver in thousands or tens of thousands of taels of silver. If you didn't see Eunuch Wei, you gave 300,000 taels of silver in front of everyone? No matter how little you are, you can't lose it.

Qin Mu felt that this trip to the capital was not only a little bit of official spirit, but also a little bit of wealth, so he wanted to enter the capital from the west gate and say goodbye again. It would be easier for us to recruit soldiers and buy horses!

After leaving the capital for more than 20 miles, the army rested on the spot and prepared lunch. Of course, everyone changed their clothes again. On such a cold and snowy day, who could stand wearing torn clothes with big holes after a long time?

After lunch, the army continued to march westward. Of course, the broken carriage that Qin Mu was also replaced. He changed into a new carriage. He didn't dare to sit for a long time. Who knew when it would fall apart.
