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

The assassination operation by Mo Ye and Lu Shaoqing was very effective. The Japanese pirates did not seem to gather to attack Hailing County at the first time.

The recruitment of soldiers went smoothly. The people of the three counties were very enthusiastic about fighting against the Japanese invaders. In just two days, Mu Jinyu recruited two thousand soldiers.

Xia Qin was preparing to train troops, but Mo Ye came to say goodbye.

"Xia Xia, I'm going to Lingnan."

"Lingnan? Aren't you going to look for that Ling Xianer?" Xia Qin glared at Mo Ye fiercely.

"Of course not, I must report this to you!"

"Report?" Xia Qin looked murderous, "Do you mean this situation will happen again?"

"No, no, no!" Mo Ye quickly tried to explain, "What I meant is, if someone makes this kind of request again, I will definitely refuse! But I will also report it to you if I refuse."

"Humph, you are always so sharp-tongued. What are you going to do in Lingnan?"

"Go find someone."

"Looking for someone?" Xia Qin suddenly remembered what they had said when they met in the North Territory. "Looking for Xiyue?"

"Xiyue has been asking people to look for him, but there is no news. This time I will go find someone in the martial arts world."

"Well, there won't be any danger, right?" Xia Qin suddenly became worried. Mo Ye's mysterious behavior recently gave her an ominous premonition.

"I'll go alone, it should be fine."

"Alone? Brother Lu and the others aren't going?"

"Brother Hong and Brother Shaoqing will stay here to help you and Brother Jinyu. I am here to take care of some personal matters. I have been looking for this person for a long time."

"Who is it, can you tell me?"

"The deputy leader of the Five Poison Gang."

"Five Poison Gang? You're going to find a deputy gang leader?" Xia Qin became uneasy. "This is a gang that uses poison, right? You can't go alone!"

"This gang usually does a lot of evil. It was wiped out a few years ago. Only the deputy gang leader is on the run. He can't hurt me, and there are people over there to help me. Don't worry."

"That……"

"I'll be back in half a month, please be careful."

"Well, I'll wait for you."

Mo Ye gently hugged Xia Qin and kissed her lightly on the forehead.

"I'll be back on time."

Looking at Mo Ye's quickly disappearing back, Xia Qin felt disappointed again. Mo Ye was indeed too busy.

"This guy really left again! He also said he would treat me to barbecue tonight!" Lu Shaoqing appeared next to Xia Qin without anyone knowing.

Xia Qin couldn't help but ask Lu Shaoqing: "Brother Lu, what does Mo Ye want to do with the Five Poison Gang?"

"The deputy leader of the Five Poison Gang, right? Of course he wants revenge," Lu Shaoqing didn't seem surprised, "It seems his eldest brother was poisoned by that man."

"His elder brother?" Xia Qin suddenly turned to look at Lu Shaoqing, as if she had not heard clearly what he had just said, "You said his elder brother was poisoned?"

"Yeah, don't you know?" Lu Shaoqing was a little surprised by Xia Qin's reaction. "You should know Su Yuancheng too. Your Mu family and Su family are both military families, so you have always had a lot of interactions."

"Do you know Mo Ye's identity?" Xia Qin was still a little curious.

Lu Shaoqing suddenly realized: "You are talking about this, he doesn't want people in the martial arts world to know his identity, but he and I are more than just friends in the martial arts world."

"Then how did you meet?"

"Hahaha, he should tell you soon," Lu Shaoqing said, waving his hand and preparing to leave, "Sister-in-law, I'm going to go out and get some wine, and we'll talk later."

Next to the Hailing County government office, the recruitment office was still very crowded, with people constantly coming to sign up for the army, including people from other cities.

Of course, in addition to wanting to fight against the Japanese pirates and serve Daxia, many people also joined the army to make a living. After all, the military pay is a considerable amount of money.

The properties of those who colluded with the Japanese were confiscated, and now we don’t have to worry about military pay and food in the short term.

Xia Qin had already made plans for the training of these new recruits.

Speaking of the ancient anti-Japanese war, the first person Xia Qin thought of was naturally the famous Ming Dynasty anti-Japanese general, Qi Jiguang.

As the saying goes, a good warrior may not have great achievements. In the eyes of ordinary people, Qi Jiguang is only known as a famous general who fought against the Japanese pirates, and it seems that no one can remember any famous battles he had fought.

But in fact, Qi Jiguang was a terrifying figure, not only because of the Mandarin Duck Formation he invented, but also because of his military books such as "Jixiao Xinshu" and "Lianbing Shiji" that were passed down to later generations.

Instead, when he faced the Japanese pirates, he was able to achieve an exchange ratio of one to five hundred, that is, at the cost of one casualty, he could wipe out five hundred of the enemy!

In many battles, he was even able to annihilate hundreds of people without any casualties.

Of course, part of the reason was that he used firearms, but the Japanese pirates at that time also had muskets.

The Japanese pirates in this world are much less powerful than those in Xiaqin's world.

The members of the Night Owl Squad are all highly skilled in martial arts, and it is difficult for ordinary recruits to reach their level of ability.

However, according to General Qi's method of training troops, it is feasible to train an army specifically to deal with the Japanese pirates using the Mandarin Duck Formation as a prototype.

"If the command and military skills that you learn in your daily life are all the same as those used in battle, when you are in battle, you can use what you have learned in your daily life. Then you will be effective in one day of practice. If you master one thing, you will gain an advantage..."

Xia Qin tried hard to recall the military books of her most admired general and develop a training outline and plan.

"Brother," Xia Qin found Mu Jinyu, "select soldiers and train them according to this!"

"Hmm?" Mu Jinyu took the dozens of papers written by Xia Qin and looked through them very carefully.

The more he read, the more interested he became. He kept exclaiming in amazement, praising her: "I thought my sister was a craftsman, but I didn't expect she is also proficient in military system, weapon preparation and training!"

Before, his trust in Xia Qin was more of a brother's doting on his sister, but now Mu Jinyu will seriously consider and verify Xia Qin's ideas and suggestions.

"Thirteen people in a group, with a team leader in charge, two strong and agile soldiers holding short swords and shields in the front, the next two holding wolf-whips, the next four holding long spears, and the next four holding short bows and long swords."

"Shield soldiers defend against arrows..."

Mu Jinyu was well-informed and quickly understood the essence of this formation, but he was a little confused and asked: "Xiaoyan, what kind of weapon is this wolf whisk? Brother has never heard of it."

Xia Qin thought for a moment and said, "It's bamboo. Cut the end of the bamboo diagonally to a point, and leave the surrounding bamboo branches sharpened as well."

"This weapon can assassinate the enemy in front while protecting the shieldman in front and the spearman in the back?" Mu Jinyu understood it immediately.

"Brother, you are so smart!"

"I understand." Mu Jinyu stared at his sister for a long time, his expression becoming more and more serious. "Xiaoyan, I will select soldiers according to your method and strengthen training. You can rest assured about these military matters. However, as a governor of a region, you have many affairs in the city. I am not good at this and cannot help you."

correct.

After being reminded by his brother, Xia Qin remembered his duties as a prefect.

The governor of the Great Xia Kingdom was similar to the governor of the Han Dynasty in his original world. Their duties included managing the population, finance, land and army in their jurisdiction, maintaining social order and implementing the emperor's policies.

The prefect had great power and could appoint and dismiss subordinates, issue laws, and formulate policies.

Now, as the governor of the area occupied by Japanese pirates, the emperor has given her even greater power. She can now directly use many rights that originally required reporting to the court.

But what should I do now? It’s a headache!
