Time Travel: The Foolish Lady is Forced to Become a Female General

In the northern border, Dongfang Yi was silently packing his bag, with a dim light flickering in his eyes.

A few days ago, the imperial edict removing him from his post as commander-in-chief of the Northern Daxia army was delivered.

"Boss, shall we leave with you?" Sima Yun's eyes were slightly red, and his voice was choked with sobs.

Yun Feiqi, Sima Yun, Cheng Lu, Jia Jing and other generals of the Mobei Army were all promoted by Dongfang Yi himself. Over the years, they followed Dongfang Yi in the northern border and fought bloody battles with the Hun army, going through life and death together, and their friendship was deep.

"Where are you going with me?" Dongfang Yi frowned and glanced at Sima Yun unhappily. "As generals of Daxia, are you just my personal troops? Although I am leaving now, the Xiongnu army has not disappeared, and the northern border still needs to be guarded."

"But this is clearly the Qin family deliberately framing the boss!" Sima Yun said without hesitation, his tone full of indignation, "Just like the slander against General Mu back then!"

Yun Feiqi quickly persuaded, "Sima Yun, calm down. Not to mention that General Mu is now the Duke of Weiguo, just think of your return to the capital as a rest."

Dongfang Yi sighed, patted Sima Yun's shoulder gently, and comforted him: "Don't be impulsive, especially you! When I'm not around, you should be more cautious."

"That being said," Cheng Lu also complained, "but what's the point of letting that Li Gui be our commander? Regardless of his qualifications or military exploits, how is he qualified? Just because he was recommended by the Qin family?"

But as soon as he said this, he realized that he had spoken out of turn.

Because their commander-in-chief and their boss, Dongfang Yi, was also recommended by the Qin family. In the eyes of most court officials, he was also a member of the Qin Party, but he was down and out now.

Sima Yun glared at Cheng Lu fiercely, and Cheng Lu quickly stepped aside and shut his mouth.

Dongfang Yi's eyebrows drooped even more. He stared at the dagger in his hand absentmindedly, and unconsciously thought of the woman who had been engaged to him and taught him martial arts, Mu Jinyan.

Sometimes he even wondered if the two of them would have had more luck together if he had not called off the engagement.

Maybe not. Xia Qin seems to be very familiar with the martial arts master next to her and they seem to have a close relationship. Maybe that is the person she likes.

Dongfang Yi sighed deeply, and that sigh seemed to carry endless helplessness and melancholy. He stared into the distance and said softly, "You can't leave the Northern Army, otherwise you will be regarded as deserters. Although Yin Ruoshui has returned to Yuelan Country, you still need to pay close attention to the movements of the Xiongnu army."

Yun Feiqi and the others did not respond. They stood there silently, their eyes full of disappointment and reluctance. They looked at Dongfang Yi quietly, feeling unfair and even a little distressed for the coach.

Dongfang Yi felt everyone's gazes, and an indescribable sadness surged in his heart. He smiled bitterly and tried to lighten the atmosphere with a joke: "I am going back to the capital to enjoy myself, not to be punished. You don't have to be so sad. It's time to go. Do you have anything else to tell me?"

However, his words could not hide the heaviness in his heart.

Everyone shook their heads silently, they knew that this was an unchangeable fate.

Only Sima Yun's eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly said with a grin, "Boss, I suggest you don't go to the capital, go directly to Jinghai County in Yangzhou! I heard that Miss Mu is doing a great job there, you can go find her!"

His tone was teasing, trying to break the dull atmosphere.

"Nonsense! Why would I go to see Miss Mu? Well, it's time for me to leave too. Take care of yourselves!"

Dongfang Yi picked up the simple luggage that had been packed long ago, slowly walked out of the tent, and got on the carriage that had been prepared for a long time.

Looking at the reluctant eyes of several people from the car window, he felt reluctant in his heart as well and waved his hands vigorously.

Going to Jinghai County? It seems to be a good place.

In Jinghai County, Xincun, a brand new Mu Mansion stands in the northernmost part. In the Mu Mansion, the Second Madam and Mu Jinxin finally arrived safely.

However, Xia Qin did not have much affection for them, and was too lazy to do those superficial efforts. She simply met with them, said hello, and then went to Wujun with Mo Ye to find her brother, Mu Jinyu.

Chu He has not yet taken office. All affairs of Wu County are temporarily managed by Mu Jinyu, Zhong Fengxing of the Genya organization under Mo Ye, and Guan Yunxiao and others.

Unlike Jinghai County, Wu County has been occupied by Japanese pirates for many years, and the original population is now few and far between.

After taking back the lost territory from the Japanese pirates, the work to be done was extremely arduous.

Fortunately, with Shen Nanfeng's support, they no longer have to worry about money, but what they lack most at the moment is time.

Especially for Mu Jinyu, as long as his mother's blood feud has not been avenged, he will feel more uneasy.

But it is not so easy to avenge this grudge. For him, this is a motivation, but also a kind of internal friction.

"Brother!" Xia Qin looked at Mu Jinyu and found that her brother, who had always been full of vigor and vitality, now looked a little old.

"Xiao Yan? Yun Chen? Why are you here?"

Xia Qin said lightly: "Gongsun Xin, Sima Zhiru and others are in Jinghai County, and there is nothing for me to do, so I came here to help my brother for a few days."

"Speaking of this, it's all thanks to Yun Chen. I know nothing about local affairs. Fortunately, with Zhong Fengxing, Guan Yunxiao and more than ten people here, I can focus on recruiting and training soldiers." Mu Jinyu looked at the recruits who were training in the distance with emotion.

"How many people are there in the anti-Japanese army now?" Xia Qin asked curiously. These days she has been concentrating on the governance of Jinghai County, and the military affairs have been completely handed over to Mu Jinyu.

"Thirty thousand people is already a large number, but if we face the imperial army in the future, it may still not be enough." Mu Jinyu's darkened face was full of worry.

Mo Ye looked at Mu Jinyu's changes and whispered to comfort him: "Brother Jinyu, this matter cannot be rushed. It is not easy to support 30,000 troops with two counties."

Mu Jinyu nodded: "Yes, although there are still many people coming to Jinghai County and Wu County, the supply of soldiers is guaranteed, but there is a shortage of craftsmen, armor, weapons and even horses. These are not problems that can be solved in a short time."

"Not enough craftsmen?" Xia Qin had a new idea when she heard Mu Jinyu's words, "Then let's recruit more!"

Mu Jinyu's mouth drooped slightly: "We are already recruiting, but because of the war, there are not many craftsmen left, so there are very few blacksmiths and carpenters. We still rely on people like Senior Lu."

Xia Qin said confidently: "No, we will not recruit in the county, we will recruit craftsmen from nearby states and counties, and pay them five times the current salary! Sign a ten-year work contract with them! Moreover, we will provide them with free houses and let them move in with their families."

She paused and continued, "We will build a craftsman village in the safest place, and build a large workshop nearby to specialize in making weapons, armor, and other military equipment."

Mu Jinyu's eyes lit up after hearing this: "This method is feasible! If it were a peaceful time, the court would probably not allow it, but we are now fighting against the Japanese pirates, so it is legitimate!"

Xia Qin nodded and continued, "Not only craftsmen, but also teachers and doctors. We will recruit those who can be used by the government in the future with five times the salary, and carry out 'talent introduction'!"

"That sounds really good," Mo Ye praised, "Then let's get started today without further delay!"

Mu Jinyu frowned and reminded: "There is still a problem now."
