Chapter 148 Shangguan Zixi
"No, I would rather be short than be too bad for the commander of the cavalry brigade."
Qin Mu said that in Qin Mu's opinion, the first commander is very important for an army. His influence on this army is very huge. There is a saying that says, "A bunch of bears a bellows and a soldier." This shows how much influence the chief of an army has on this army.
For Qin Mu, what he wanted was "a nest of bears" rather than "a soldier". Therefore, Qin Mu had his ideas about the brigade commander of the Cavalry Brigade. He was not someone he was satisfied with, so he would never hand over the Cavalry Brigade to him.
"But our army will not find a suitable person to serve as the commander of the cavalry brigade." Liang Qiming said with some embarrassment.
"If there is no suitable person in our army, we can go outside to recruit." Qin Mu said.
"But the people recruited from outside suddenly made him the brigade commander of the cavalry brigade. If he was a spy inserted by someone else, it would be very troublesome."
Liang Qiming said, you should know that in the current organization, the brigade commander is already a senior officer, not to mention the very important cavalry brigade commander.
"What you said makes sense, but we can install more people we trust around him, as well as the deputy brigade commander of the Cavalry Brigade and the corps commander below must be the ones we brought out of the capital, so that we can also effectively monitor him."
Qin Mu thought about it and said that Qin Mu now remembered the East Factory and the Jinyiwei of the Great Qin Empire. Unfortunately, in the entire northwest, the power of the East Factory and the Jinyiwei was also weakened to the extreme. He could not provide help to himself, which made Qin Mu want to establish his own intelligence agency, but it was not the time. After arriving in Tokugawa County, he could start to become his own intelligence agency.
"Okay, I'll arrange for personnel to post notices in the nearby county town." Liang Qiming said, after all, the Legion Commander has the final say in this matter.
"This thing should be fast. We will not stay here for too long. After these recruits complete the most basic training, we will start to call."
Qin Mu said. After all, it is always good to get his territory earlier, and now he is in other people's territory. Now the county magistrates in those places are now afraid to deal with their own territory, the county magistrate of Tokugawa County appointed by the Central Qin Empire. Who can guarantee that they will not deal with them secretly? A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Qin Mu still thinks it is better to get his territory earlier.
Although the situation in the northwest counties is different, one thing is indeed the same, that is, the court of the Qin Empire is indifferent and dominant, and is nominally under the central government. In fact, they are all "local emperors". In the words of Wei Zhongxian, if the current army of the court can be withdrawn, these people should have been killed.
Since Qin Mu entered the northwest, the county magistrates of each county along the way did not send anyone to greet him, even if they had visited him. Just as Qin Mu's army did not exist, even if Qin Mu's army recruited soldiers locally, the main officials of these counties did not come out to ask about it, and they all kept away from the commanders of Qin Mu and Qin Mu.
The officials of these counties do not want Qin Mu to stay in their county, and Qin Mu is not willing to stay in their county. After all, the county magistrates of these counties can easily destroy them by just pulling out a unit.
"yes."
Liang Qiming went down to arrange personnel to recruit brigade commanders from the cavalry brigade nearby.
After Liang Qiming left, Qin Mu walked in the military camp with some concern. Qin Mu always felt something was wrong, but he had no idea. This feeling made Qin Mu very unhappy.
...
"Brother, brother, look at what this is." Shangguan Zixi happily pinched the notice and ran to her elder brother and said excitedly.
"Haha, what's the matter? Let our little sisters be happy." A man in his thirties looked at the seventeen and eight-year-old girl in front of him with love and smiled.
The man has a medium figure and a square face. Because he has been working in the ground for many years, the skin on his face looks very rough. He has developed muscles that protrude on his shoulders and arms. He has no hair, and his hair is thick and black. On the round face, under his broad thick eyebrows, the hair on his sideburns is slightly bald, his eyebrows are thick and neat, and his eyes are shining with spirit. When he looks at people, he pays great attention. When he smiles, he reveals a bit of neat and slightly white teeth; his fingers are thick, with black mud in the cracks of his nails, he wears an old blue cloth cotton jacket, and a blue cloth apron around his waist. He looks very strong.
The man's name is Shangguan Yonglun, and he is a brother and sister to the beautiful girl he talks to. His father Shangguan Banghai was originally a guerrilla general of the Northwest Cavalry, and his grandfather was once appointed as the general of the Northwest Cavalry.
But ten years ago, in the battle with the Huhun tribe, the men of the Shangguan family were killed in battle, leaving only Shangguan Yonglun, who was only in his early twenties, with his seven or eight-year-old sister fled to Meishan County. In order not to let his sister lose her only relative, Shangguan Yonglun has been living in seclusion in a small county town in Meishan County, living a life of farming at sunrise and resting at sunset.
Logically, men of his age should have married and had children long ago, but he didn't marry a wife. Even if his precious sister forced him to do so, he was unwilling to get married. Only he knew the reason.
"What is it written on it?"
Shangguan Yonglun took the notice and opened it with a curious look. "The First Legion of Tokugawa County recruited several cavalry officers and required him to understand the basic tactics of cavalry and the formation techniques of cavalry..."
"Recruiting cavalry officers?"
Shangguan Yonglun murmured to himself later, you must know that the Qin Empire had never posted such notices to recruit officers, which made Shangguan Yonglun very puzzled. If it weren't for the seal of the Tokugawa County magistrate of the mountain who could not have been faked, Shangguan Yonglun would have thought that he was a ghost girl who was joking with him.
"Yes, brother, I've inquired. It's really the army recruiting officers. Brother, don't you understand the tactics of cavalry and the formation techniques of cavalry? You can be this cavalry officer. Brother, don't your dream of becoming a cavalry admiral?" Shangguan Zixi said.
Shangguan Zixi is seventeen years old this year. She is now wearing a light white gauze dress with white shoulders, and her snow-like skin is matched with the white gauze dress. The exposed white jade neck is clean and white, without any jewelry. The beautiful figure that is faintly revealed, and the ink hair under the long flow are casually tied up by the silver elegant hairpin. The corner of her mouth is elegant, and there is no trace of rouge on her face. Her dark eyes are like black holes, bottomless, making people unable to guess any thoughts.
The most noticeable thing is that her height is about 1.8 meters tall. Even in the north of the Qin Empire, it is difficult to find a woman of such a height, let alone such a beautiful girl. If she was in Qin Mu's previous life, she would definitely be the best choice for world-class supermodels.
"That was before. Since my father and several brothers died, I have no such dream anymore." Shangguan Yonglun said with some loneliness.
"Brother, you lied to me. I know you are still thinking about the dream of a cavalry admiral. Otherwise, you would not have preserved the manuscripts of horse war left at home so well. You just don't want to join the army because you are not worried about me. If it weren't for me, you would have been a cavalry guerrilla now. It was me who implicated you, brother."
Shangguan Zixi said that the intelligent Shangguan Zixi had actually seen his brother's thoughts for a long time, but she had never encountered a good opportunity. Today, she went to the county town with a few good sisters and saw a few officers and soldiers posting notices. She looked curious and saw that they were recruiting cavalry officers, so she happily asked the soldiers who posted notices everywhere. In Shangguan Zixi's opinion, this was the opportunity for God to give her brother a dream, so Shangguan Zixi took the notice and hurried back without even visiting the county town, just to tell her brother the good news. In Shangguan Zixi, her elder brother would be very happy to see this notice.
"Little sister, don't say that. Actually, it has nothing to do with you. It's because my elder brother is tired and doesn't want to be a soldier anymore."
Shangguan Yonglun said that although Shangguan Yonglun really wanted to apply for an officer in the cavalry brigade, he was really leaving. What should he do with his precious sister? She has not found her husband's family yet. One day, her little sister has not been married. Shangguan Yonglun will never let his sister leave her side. In this world, she is the only relative now, and Shangguan Yonglun will never allow her to suffer any harm.
"Brother, you can't deceive me. I'm your dear sister. What are you thinking about? Do you think I don't know? So many girls are willing to date you over the years, but you ignore them. Do you think I can't see it? You are afraid that you will be worried. After becoming a kiss, your ambition will be wiped out, but you can't rest assured that you are, so you have been suffering..."
"Little sister, don't say that, it's not like that."
Shangguan Yonglun interrupted his sister and said. Shangguan Yonglun would never want his sister to think like this. This would make her feel that she owed her elder brother. Shangguan Yonglun wanted his sister to live a carefree life, which was what Shangguan Yonglun had been working hard over the years.
"Brother, you don't want me to continue talking, but I know I'm dragging you down. This opportunity is really rare. With your ability, you will definitely get an officer. Brother, please listen to me." Shangguan Zixi said.
"Little sister, brother really doesn't want to go."
Shangguan Yonglun shook his head and said, "If he really goes to join the army, what should he do, his sister who has not yet married?"
