The battle ten years ago also caused the greatest harm to these three counties, which directly made the public security in Northwest County, Kitayama County and Tokugawa County chaotic, and there were horse thieves, bandits, and bandits everywhere. Even the local government could only shrink into a city protected by the city walls, and there was no way to deal with the public security on the side.↖

However, for the first legion of the first division, a 3,000-person personal guard brigade, a 2,000-person fire-tie army, a cavalry brigade with more than 3,000 people, and a 1st legion with nearly 20,000 soldiers, they are not afraid of these horse thieves and bandits.

Qin Mu presided over an enlarged military meeting the night before leaving Longdong Prefecture City. The participants were officers with the deputy captain and above of each regiment, including officers with the deputy captain and above of the logistics regiment, and naturally joined in.

At the meeting, Qin Mu introduced the current situation in the northwest region. Qin Mu made a summary speech and asked everyone to be vigilant and strengthen prevention. The enemy may appear anytime and anywhere. War is cruel. You must obey commands and obey orders. If you disobey the orders of superiors, escaped at the last minute, and deal with military law. At the same time, everyone here is encouraged to stand up straight, face challenges, and obtain the final victory of the war.

At the same time, a plan to suppress bandits along the way was formulated to support the war and quickly mature these new recruits. This is the biggest purpose of this meeting.

The next day, Qin Mu led his entire army to leave Longdong Prefecture and headed to Northwest County. When Qin Mu and his party entered the Northwest County, they could feel the destructive impact that Luobei people had on this area in recent years.

Bonan Prefecture, Northwest County, was originally a relatively economical government. The original pottery and porcelain manufacturing industry of Bonan Prefecture was quite well-known. Many famous craftsmen and workshops were produced here day and night. The various pottery and porcelain produced were very famous in the Eastern Continent and even very popular in the Western Continent.

The teahouse hotel business is booming, and merchants from all over the country stay here for a long time to get the goods as soon as possible. Now, dilapidated kilns can be seen everywhere, and the large pits used to collect soil have long been covered by thick weeds. Along the way, there is little population, and there is almost no decent market town, which looks particularly depressing and indescribable.

There are many bandits along the way, and bandits are not stupid. Whoever has nothing to do to die and intercept a team of nearly 20,000 emperors is no different from seeking death. However, if these bandits do not come to cause trouble for him, Qin Mu took the initiative to come to the door and train troops through actual combat. Whoever dies in battle is the most unlucky. In such a chaotic world, there is no shortage of soldiers. Don’t you see that the bandit leader Zhang Xianzhong from the south immediately recruited tens of thousands of troops. What’s the difficulty of Qin Mu want to add a hundred people?

If anyone doesn't want to die, then Pingyu has to practice hard. In wartime, Qin Mu has to use the method of survival of the best and survival. He uses blood to soak an elite core force. This is cruel, but this is the northwest, and the chaotic situation does not allow you to practice slowly.

It won’t take long before the army of the Huxun tribe will come to Tokugawa County. Qin Mu was unwilling to arrive at Tokugawa County, and the position of this county magistrate was not firmly settled, and he was destroyed by the Huxun tribe. He could only recommend Xuanyuan with blood!

Liang Qiming, Zhu Yongqing, Shangguan Yonglun and others saw Qin Mu using such cruel methods to train troops, no one dared to laugh at him behind his back, a scholar-born civil servant who did not know how to train troops anymore.

On the contrary, he had a kind of awe from the bottom of his heart when he talked to him, and when he spoke, his tone was less agitated. Some officers even didn't dare to raise their heads when they saw Qin Mu.

Especially Li Hua, the commander of the 3rd Brigade, was usually in the military camp, and there were few people who were not afraid of her. Some of her soldiers called her "devil" behind their backs. However, even when she saw Qin Mu, she didn't even dare to breathe. Sometimes when she saw Qin Mu, she even stuttered when she spoke, which made the officers of the entire legion even more awe of Qin Mu, the Tokugawa County Governor and Legion Commander. Even the deputy commander Liang Qiming dared to interrupt when Qin Mu had not let him speak.

From Bonan Prefecture in Northwest County to Tokugawa County, Qin Mu walked slowly along the way, but one thing was that he almost wiped out all the bandits along the way. This result was, first, his ruthlessness and hard work regardless of casualties, and second, the cooperation between the various brigades became more and more tacit.

So before Qin Mu could reach Tokugawa County, the entire northwest region was shocked, and even the big guys far away in the capital could not believe it.

A scholar from a civilian background went to the turbulent place in the northwest to take up his post. He was not destroyed by bandits along the way, but instead wiped out all the bandits along the way. It was something that had not been heard of for a thousand years, which disappointed many big figures in the capital.

Of course, some people are disappointed, some are happy. The eunuch party led by Wei Zhongxian is the happiest. Although it is not a particularly great contribution to the Qin Empire, which has been in a sluggish situation recently, it is really good news.

It is said that Emperor Tianqi happily ate one more bowl of rice when he heard Wei Zhongxian report Qin Mu's feat along the northwest. This was a very remarkable thing, because for the sake of the Milan Empire, Emperor Tianqi had no appetite these days and had not eaten much food at all. This made Wei Zhongxian and others in the palace worried, but they just couldn't find something that made the emperor happy.

So as soon as we received the news from the northwest that Qin Mu suppressed bandits and cleared all the bandits along the way, Wei Zhongxian couldn't wait to tell the news to Emperor Tianqi.

...

Qin Mu's suppression of bandits quickly attracted the attention of all the officials of prefectures and counties along the way, and did not dare to neglect Qin Mu at all. He did not dare to lose his food, accommodation, and weapons supplements. Some officials from some prefectures and counties even began to give him money and asked him to wipe out the bandits in the territory.

Qin Mu depends on the actual situation and go to those who are easy to clear out. He has to hike deep mountains and forests. I'm sorry, let's talk about it later. My territory is still occupied by bandits!

Qin Mu walked from Bonan Prefecture to Tokugawa County for a whole month. He was a lot of tanning, but because he crawled and rolled every day, his body was much stronger than before. His biceps had begun to appear, and his agility was greatly enhanced, and he walked with great brilliance. Of course, the "Vajra Art" he practiced accounted for a large factor.

People in the entire legion dared not regard themselves as a weak scholar. Although this adult had never discussed with others, many officers in the legion who thought they were good at martial arts were not sure that they could defeat the legion commander. However, that happened half a month ago. Since half a month ago, Liu Wu, one of the three masters in the First Legion, and Liu Brigade Commander said that he could not even catch the legion commander's move, the officers were stunned and no longer dared to compare their martial arts with the legion commander.

This made Qin Mu more mysterious in the officers and soldiers of the First Legion, and everyone became more and more awe of their corps commander. Of course, many people admired Qin Mu and regarded Qin Mu as their idol.

There are even many girls who are in their youth who regard themselves as their dream of being able to marry a man like the leader of the Legion.

Leaving the Liusha Prefecture of Beishan County, the troops entered Tokugawa County. The situation here was worse than that of Beishan Mountain. The fertile fields had been deserted for many years, overgrown with weeds and no one to cultivate them. The roads and bridges were disrepaired and difficult to walk; the irrigation ditches were blocked and obscured and could not be used; there were few pedestrians on the road, and most of the people I met were ragged and had vegetables, so there was no other style of the "Northwest Granary" in the past. The beautiful rivers and mountains fell to this! In this situation, Qin Mu couldn't help but sigh...

Since the Northwest Army of the Empire failed to fight against the Beihun people more than ten years ago, the Beihuns controlled the northwest transportation line that crossed the east-west continent, and there were many checkpoints along the way, and the safety of business and travel was not guaranteed. The economy of Tokugawa County began to shrink. However, in recent years, coupled with the annual harassment and invasion of the Beihuns, the people of Tokugawa County were living in poverty. When personal safety and property safety were not guaranteed, there was no way to talk about economic development. Therefore, a large number of people left their hometowns, fled their homes where their ancestors lived for generations, and found another place to make a living...

On the eighth day of May 13th year of the 13th year of the Apocalypse, Qin Mu led 20,000 troops to carry a large number of food, grass, weapons, medicine and other logistics supplies, and finally arrived safely at Tokugawa Castle, the location of the Tokugawa County Government.

"Wu Sang, the governor of Tokugawa County, leads other colleagues of Tokugawa County, and welcomes the governor of the county, Lord Qin."

At the gate of Tokugawa Castle, Tokugawa County Governor Wu Sang led hundreds of officials from all over Tokugawa County to wait for Qin Mu at the gate. Depending on the situation, he should have been waiting for two hours.

"Mr. Wu is exempted from gifts, and you are exempt from gifts. Qin has just arrived in Tokugawa County, Northwest, and will rely on the support of you in the future."

After Qin Mu helped Wu Sang up, he said to officials at all levels who were kneeling on the ground. Qin Mu had inquired about Wu Sang who helped him up before he came to Tokugawa Castle.

Since the end of the Northwest War ten years ago, the entire Tokugawa County has been in a state of military control. In this Tokugawa County, except for the former governor of Tokugawa County who was invaded by the rioters and inexplicably beaten to death by the rioters, the Tokugawa Castle Guard Wu Sang has the highest position.

According to the spies sent, more than half of the more than 50,000 troops in Tokugawa County are in his hands, and even the presiding Tokugawa County magistrates in the army are not as effective as his words. This forced Qin Mu to be wary of Wu Sang.

Qin Mu even suspected that the death of the presided governor of Tokugawa County was related to the garrison general Wu Sang. You must know that there were so many refugees in Tokugawa Castle, which was heavily guarded, let alone, rushing into the county magistrate's mansion guarded by hundreds of elite soldiers, and killing the sleeping governor of Tokugawa County to death. There must be something strange that he didn't know about.

"Sir, we are looking forward to the stars and the moon, and we finally look forward to you."
