Love Affairs in Chang'an - Chapter 35

Chapter 35 Clean Up One’s Heart
Qin Mubai didn’t waste time talking to Li Junxian and went to his Hundred Cavalry Envoy’s office.

Right now, the Imperial City Guards Legion Corps of the Great Tang were all under the command of the Beiya, and their offices were uniformly located outside the Chengtian Gate of Taiji Palace. Only Baiji’s special army had such a special army within the palace.

The government was not big, but its structure was very orderly. The four rooms that were handed over were the offices of the three deputy envoys. At the end of the courtyard, besides the meeting hall, the study room, and the bedroom. There were a few civil servants and eunuchs and a few servants specially assigned to serve them. Shi Sima and the other civil servants’ offices were also at the side.

The hall was very spacious. The green wool carpet hung under the glass lamp. The wooden wall shone without dust. The most eye-catching thing was the large screen painting right behind it. It was a huge golden qilin carved on an iron plate!

Each of the Twelve Guards had its own Beast Diagram Symbols. Some were tigers, some were lions, and some were bull hawks. As for Baiji’s Beast Diagram, it was actually the Auspicious Beast Qilin that was as famous as the Dragon and Phoenix.

The golden and fierce auspicious beast gave the main hall an awe-inspiring aura. As soon as they approached the room, they felt a sense of solemnity and solemnity.

The small government subordinates exuded a majestic and majestic royal auspicious aura everywhere. It could be seen that Li Shimin did attach great importance to this Baiji, and did not neglect every detail.

The study room of the Hundred Cavalry Envoy was not only a quiet place to entertain guests and discuss matters, but also a place where Qin Mubai would normally take care of his business and study. The room wasn’t big, and it was somewhat similar to Li Shimin’s study-simple and tidy.

There were only a few simple tables and chairs in the room, which contrasted sharply with the majesty and grandeur of the hall. Qin Mubai could understand the Emperor’s intentions in setting up the study room. It was a place to study and study, so he was concentrating on it. There was no need for fancy decoration.

Roughly going through the books in the study room, apart from some classics and history books, there were also many art of war diagrams and reading notes. Many of them were rare books that Qin Mubai had been searching for but could not find.

“That’s right. I can have a good place to concentrate on my studies in the future.”

Qin Mubai was very satisfied with all of this. After a brief visit, Qin Mubai sat down in the study and called out, “Someone,”

“I, Hundred Cavalry, remember to join the army, Tong Wenhai. Greetings, General Qin. What orders do you have?” A middle-aged man in his forties replied as he entered the study.

Tong Wenhai was one of the officials of the Hundred Cavalry Department. He was a clerk appointed by the Emperor to manage the documents at Qin Mubai’s disposal. Although it was a small rank eight official, its role and function were enormous. It was equivalent to Qin Mubai’s right hand man in handling civil affairs.

“Mr. Tong, I need the details of everyone in Baiji. Please take some time to help me sort them out. I want to see them later.” Qin Mubai didn’t bother to be polite with him and directly gave the order.

“Answer the general. These materials have already been prepared. They are only for the general to use.” Tong Wenhai cupped his hands and replied calmly, “In addition, all the records of weapons, armor, horses, grain, and money in Baiji are also on file, waiting for the general to examine them at any time.”

“Oh?” Qin Mubai couldn’t help but be a little surprised. The day before yesterday, the selection of Baiji’s soldiers was initially confirmed. This Tong Wenhai had already tidied up all this stuff today … Not bad, he was efficient and took the initiative. If this were a big company in the 21st century, it would be a qualified and promising employee.

“May I ask if the general has any questions?” Tong Wenhai cupped his hands and asked calmly. Even though he was a small rank eight official, he was neither humble nor arrogant, and had a bit of refined demeanor.

“Sir’s ability is indeed outstanding. No wonder His Majesty sent you to Baiji.” Qin Mubai said.

“This … General, don’t make fun of me. This is what I should do in my humble position, but I absolutely dare not do anything outstanding. Otherwise, this humble position is no longer just a small eighth-grade recording room.” Tong Wenhai said with a smile that was half-sincere and self-deprecating.

Qin Mubai nodded and thought, The officials of the Zhenguan Dynasty are indeed different … A small rank eight official also has such a sense of mission and responsibility.

Not long after, the sergeants’ information was obtained. Each piece of information was very detailed. From the height of their teeth to their birth experiences, there was not a single omission. There were even records of who had any habits or shortcomings that they were good at.

Tong Wenhai told Qin Mubai that most of the information was recorded during the enlistment. The Hundred Cavalry Official was only responsible for statistics and collection.

In other words, the officials in charge of selecting soldiers had done their best in the beginning, which was why the rest of the work was so easy. Qin Mubai couldn’t help but secretly sigh in his heart. One could see that the prosperity of the Great Tang was indeed not accidental!

In such an environment, everyone would involuntarily show their enthusiasm to do things. The state apparatus of the Great Tang operated well and efficiently.

There was no shortage of food and clothing in Baiji’s government, so he didn’t need to worry about the basic training. Qin Mubai had to do three things in the study for three days in seclusion. First, he browsed through the information of all the soldiers, so that he could have a rough impression of them in his heart. Second, he had memorized the military rules laid down by the emperor. Third, a detailed training plan has been drawn up.

During the three days, Qin Mubai received Tong Wenhai several times and asked him about the situation of the Hundred Cavalry. Tong Wenhai replied that everything was normal. Right now, apart from daily training, the soldiers were all fighting for points to seize the wonderful military rules for fear that they would be expelled if they failed the exam.

Three days later, the military exam was held in a tense and serious atmosphere. Invigilated by the part-time head Shi Li Junxian, it was very formal. Everyone must silently write the full text of the military code within the given time. The results of the exam made Qin Mubai very satisfied-all of them passed.

The exam itself was not difficult, but it was reasonable to pass. What really satisfied Qin Mubai was not their exam results, but the first order he had given, which had been thoroughly implemented. In other words, he had at least established some authority among these proud official clan disciples. At the very least, no one dared to ignore or provoke him now.

After the exam, the whole camp was celebrating. The soldiers were as happy as if they had won a battle.

At this time, Qin Mubai did not hold back his praise and praised his subordinates. He even specifically named some people to praise them, or praise their outstanding archery skills, or praise their excellent equestrian skills. Of course, this was something he had learned from the information. Others were directly praised by him as “tall and heroic” and “beautiful”.

Everyone knew that Qin Mubai himself had won Baiji over the crowd in a fair and honest manner. His martial arts skills were fairly high in gold content, and he had a good appearance. Being praised by an expert for his outstanding martial arts skills was naturally more comfortable than being praised by an amateur. By the same token, being praised by a handsome guy was much happier than being envied by an ugly guy.

Politics was everywhere, and getting along with people was learning. Qin Mubai was obviously gloomy. As a result, these typical people who were praised in public had a sense of superiority. At the same time, they also had a good impression of Qin Mubai and became close to him.

Seeing this scene, Li Junxian could only secretly shake his head and be speechless. Qin Mubai’s ability to clean up people’s minds was extraordinary. It was as if he had read the minds of these soldiers. From the dot to the surface, a few typical people slowly led more people … With time, more and more people would have a favorable impression of Qin Mubai-the soldiers I’ve brought for so many years are far inferior to him!

Afterwards, Qin Mubai showed Li Junxian the training plan he had drawn up. Li Junxian only saw a few lines and shook his head, “Isn’t this bad? The Hundred Cavalry are His Majesty’s personal heroes. They are trained hard. You changed the training time from seven hours to five hours, which is even less than an ordinary army. How can this be?”

“General Li, soldiers are good, not many. Likewise, training is effective, not lengthy.” Qin Mubai said, “Take a look at my detailed training objectives and plans before making an assessment!”

Li Junxian looked at it suspiciously for a while. His expression gradually became surprised. Finally, he was speechless, “What kind of strange training method are you using? You have reduced the most important equestrian skills, archery and weapons to secondary ones, mainly training in throwing knives, crossing country, survival in the wild, one move to subdue enemies, first aid and self-rescue, courage and endurance … I, I don’t even understand!”

“Haha, these people’s skills in equestrian archery and weapons are already outstanding. Is there a need for them to train in these areas? Mending the weak and the strong is the most meaningful.” Qin Mubai shook his head and didn’t say anything about the’barrel effect ‘to him. He smiled and said, “Effectiveness is everything. I will let the results prove it.”

Li Junxian curled his lips and shook his head doubtfully, “Do you think the Emperor would agree to your strange training method?”

“I have no intention of asking His Majesty if he agrees.” Qin Mubai smiled and said, “The Emperor told me that as long as I train the Hundred Cavalry into a true elite master, I’m not required to train them. All I have to do is let His Majesty see the results. Does His Majesty need to ask him for instructions on everything?”

“Isn’t this … not good?” Li Junxian was a little surprised.

“If General Li is worried, he can ask His Majesty for instructions on his own. I have reservations.” Qin Mubai smiled, but his attitude was firm and firm. The implication is that I don’t intend to listen to Li Junxian’s objections to the training plan. If you don’t agree, go ask the Emperor for instructions.

“Alright then. This matter is of great importance. I will report it to His Majesty myself.” Li Junxian gritted his teeth and went to look for the Emperor without turning his head.

Qin Mubai looked at Li Jun’s background and smiled indifferently, “Li Junxian, you are asking for trouble. If you go to the Emperor’s place, you will definitely run into a nail on the head.” I believe that regardless of which generation, those who succeed will pay more attention to results than forms. Li Shimin was a pragmatic emperor. Otherwise, where would he get his virginity? If the Emperor doesn’t even follow my training plan, then is he still the Prosperous Era Ming Jun? Moreover, I am Baiji, and my prestige is far more important than your face as a long history. Therefore, even if Li Shimin has doubts about this training plan, he will definitely support me! ”
