Chapter 154: Tokugawa Prefecture Garrison
"Lord Wu is polite, let you wait for Qin so far away, Qin is really upset." Qin Du said.
"My lord, I've worked hard all the way, let's go, the lowly officials have prepared a banquet in the county guard's mansion, just wait for the adults to come to the banquet." Wu Sang said.
"Okay, Li Youdang, Lihua, Shangguan Yonglun, you will be stationed outside the city with your army." Qin Duan explained to the three of them.
"Yes."
The three of them received the order and went down, in fact, before coming to Tokugawa Castle, Qin Duan had made arrangements for the stationing of the army, so the three of them knew what they should do.
"Lord Gunmar, there is a lot of open space in Tokugawa Castle, and tens of thousands of troops can live there, so there is no need for soldiers to be stationed outside the city, so how hard it will be for the wind and rain." Wu Sang saw that Qin Duan had arranged for the army to be stationed outside Tokugawa Castle, so he spoke.
"Lord Wu, this army can't be too accustomed to it, if they can't even stand this wind and rain, what's the use of asking these soldiers, so let's put my army to the test."
Qin Dui said that Qin Dui would not let all his troops enter Tokugawa City, if there was any ambush in the city, there would not even be a rescue force.
"It's still an adult who has a good way to manage the army, no wonder those rogues and bandits along the way have been suppressed by the soldiers in your hands, and now your lord and your army are famous in the entire northwest, and most of those rogues and bandits in the northwest have been suppressed by your army." Wu Sang said.
"Master Wu, you haven't introduced me to other adults yet." Qin Duan asked.
"This is the head of Tokugawa Prefecture, Lord Lee Toku-hae, Lord Lee."
"I've seen the county keeper." A fat official in his fifties, with slightly narrowed eyes, said to Qin Du.
"Hello Master Li.
"This is Lord Wu Debao, the envoy of Tokugawa County."
"I've seen the county keeper."
A middle-aged man in his forties said to Qin Du, although Wu Debao was very dissatisfied with the top boss in front of him who was younger than his son, and thought that the feeling of a hairy boy riding on his head, it was Wu Sang's own cousin's face. Whatever you say, you have to give.
"According to the envoy, the envoy is also surnamed Wu, so he is the same clan as the garrison Lord Wu."
Qin Duan asked casually, it seems that this Wu Sang is now the de facto ruler of this Tokugawa Prefecture, and in a place like the northwest, whoever has an army in his hands will hold power. This Wu Sang is the garrison of Tokugawa County, holding the entire army of Tokugawa County in his hands, he is definitely a unique figure, and he is also the main opponent after Qin Dusk.
"He's my cousin." Wu Sang said.
"Hehe, it seems that Master Wu's family is talented." Qin Duan said with emotion.
"My lord, I still want to introduce you to this Li Da, the chief soldier of our Tokugawa County, Lord Li, Lord Li was the champion of our Great Qin Dynasty ten years ago."
Wu Sang didn't want to talk too much about his nephew with Qin Duan, so he pointed to a very burly middle-aged man standing beside him.
"A certain general, Li Da, has seen the county guard." Li Da said to Qin Dui.
"It's been a hard time, Lord Li. In a few days, I will talk to you about the Tokugawa army alone. Qin Du looked at Li Da, the chief soldier in charge of the actual number of troops in Tokugawa County, which was 50,000, and said.
"Always follow your orders." Li Da said.
"My lord, this is the cavalry guerrilla general Xu Nanxu." Wu Sang pointed to another soldier in armor and said.
"I've seen adults." Cavalry guerrilla general Xu Nan Shili said.
"My lord, this is Lord Masuda, the prefect of Tokugawa Prefecture."
"I've seen adults." The prefect of Tokugawa Prefecture, Wang Masuda, saluted Qin Dusk.
……
"This is Lord Liang Tianliang, the Tongzhi of Yucheng Mansion."
After spending a stick of incense, Wu Sang introduced the main officials who greeted him at the gate of the city, and the entire Tokugawa Prefecture was under the jurisdiction of five prefectures, namely Tokugawa Prefecture, Yingshan Prefecture, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Icheon Prefecture, and Yucheng Prefecture, and those who came to greet Qin Duan were the main officials of each prefecture, including officers in the army. There were more than 100 people in total, because there were too many people. Except for some major officials, the other officials Qin Duan only had some impressions, and his names were a little difficult to remember.
Accompanied by Wu Sang and other former officials of Tokugawa County, Qin Du led the troops into Tokugawa, and now the residents here are talking about the new Tokugawa County Guard's suppression of bandits all the way, up to the government officials and businessmen. Down to the ordinary people, they all hope that the newly appointed county guard can quickly exterminate the rogue and horse thieves in the territory, and at the same time strengthen the border defense to prevent the plundering of the Huns on the border, and reproduce the previous prosperity of the local area.
The arrival of Qin Du and his entourage was warmly welcomed by the local people and officials. Qin Duan also deeply felt the local people's desire for stability and peace, which greatly aroused his determination to save the people from fire and water.
Coming to the county guard's mansion, this is a fairly large mansion, but it looks a little deserted, probably deliberately cleaned, and the entire county guard's mansion still looks very clean.
Due to the invasion of the Huns almost every year in the past few years, the five prefectures of Tokugawa, Yingshanfu, Yamaguchi, Icheon, and Yucheng have also been looted repeatedly, and the social security of the entire region is extremely chaotic, and the previous county guard has not been able to come up with a countermeasure, and has repeatedly submitted his resignation, and the imperial court has not agreed, and he has lived the idea of being a monk for a day and ringing the bell for a day.
In particular, after the previous Tokugawa county keeper was killed by the homeless people who rushed into the county guard mansion, all the people in the entire county guard office left, except for a few people who had nowhere to go, there were not many people in the entire county guard at all, and the entire castle guard office was only talking about three or five people, and it was impossible to perform its functions at all.
The people mentioned here refer to the clerks left over from the period of the former Tokugawa County Guard, not the guards of the County Guard, for these guards of the County Guard, Qin Dui must be replaced immediately, Qin Du does not want to be like the previous county guard, in his own mansion Li was beaten to death by the rioters who broke in.
After having a banquet with the officials of Tokugawa County, Qin Dui arranged for the soldiers of Liu Wu's personal guard brigade to take over the defense of the entire county guard, the original guards, Qin Dui asked them to go wherever they came from, and Qin Dui didn't want these soldiers who couldn't even protect their own adults.
For the other soldiers who followed Qin Du into the city, Qin Duan arranged for them to be placed in the school field near the county guard's mansion, and at the same time, Qin Duan ordered the soldiers of each brigade not to leave the barracks without an order, so as not to harass the local people.
"Liu Wu, strengthen patrols in the vicinity of the county guard at night, be sure to ensure the absolute safety of the county guard's mansion, and for the few people who remain in the county guard's mansion now, we must arrange personnel to strictly monitor them, and absolutely do not allow them to disappear from the surveillance personnel." Qin Duan solemnly explained to Liu Wu, the commander of the Guards Brigade.
"Yes, sir." Liu Wu took the order and went out.
"Master, will this be our home in the future?" Little Cherry asked.
"I think for a long time, we have been living here, this is not as prosperous as the capital, you will definitely have to suffer here with the master in the future." Qin Du said.
"As long as we can be with you, master, we won't feel bitter."
Crazy Dream said, although this northwest is not as prosperous as the capital, but for Crazy Dream, who has been living in Qing~Lou, she would rather accompany her beloved man in this northwest place to endure hardships.
"Master, this county guard is very good, we won't suffer anything here, but sir, you are too tired during this time, you have to rest well at night." Magnolia said.
"Tonight, sir, I don't think I can get a good rest." Qin Duan said with a wry smile.
"Master, what's wrong?" Delusion asked with concern.
"Today is our first day in Tokugawa Castle, and we don't know anything about it, so it's important that I'm going to take someone to take a good look at the whole of Tokugawa Castle in the evening." Qin Du said.
"Then sir, you have to pay attention to safety." Crazy Dream said.
"I'll pay attention to this, you should also pay attention to safety, there is no need to leave the county guard mansion these days, if you must go out, let Ma Feng bring someone to accompany you out."
Qin Duan solemnly explained, judging from the looks of the officials who received him today, there are many officials here who do not welcome themselves here, and Qin Duan even suspects that someone will do it to him, so Qin Duan is also worried about the safety of his own woman.
And that Ma Feng was transferred from the Third Brigade, the captain of the martial arts team, and now the captain of the women's wing of the pro-guards soldiers, is mainly responsible for the safety of Qin Dui's women, after all, Qin Dui doesn't want the male soldiers to be responsible for the safety of his women, to put it bluntly, Qin Dui doesn't trust those male soldiers, for fear that they will have too much contact with their own women, and something bad will happen to them.
"Master, don't worry, we won't go out, if you have anything you want to buy, just ask your subordinates to go out and buy it."
Crazy Dream said, along the way, the girls have a very deep impression of the security in the northwest, so they also understand their master's hard work, so they don't want their master to worry about themselves, and they are ready to stay in the county guard mansion obediently.
"It's best, you guys should rest early, I don't know when the master will come back at night, don't wait for me." After Qin Duan finished speaking, he went out with a few pro-guards with strong martial arts.
"Go back to sleep." Looking at the figure of Qin Dui who was far away, Foolish Dream said to the girls.
"What about you, miss?" Xiaoyu asked.
"I'll wait here for the master to come back."
Crazy Dream said, as a woman, you can't share some things for your man, so do what you can do, so Crazy Dream is here to wait for the master to come back and cook him supper to eat.
At night, Qin Dui and Liang Qiming came to the barracks, arranged the night duty and patrol of the barracks, and took Liang Qiming, Zhu Yongqing, and Liu Xiaoshan, escorted by hundreds of soldiers, to leave the barracks and go to the city to understand the situation. (To be continued......)
