With a large amount of material support, Zhu Yuanzhang finally had the opportunity to carry out drastic reforms to the status quo.

First, the name "Gushan Bandits" was officially abandoned, and Zhu Yuanzhang renamed his group "Gushan Yicong".

At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang convened a grand meeting in the Zhengyang Hall. In addition to the Sixteen Emperors of the Ming Dynasty, all the cultivators above the level of True Immortal from Fang Jian, Xuantu Temple, Yuhua Temple, Shaoyang Mountain, etc. participated in the meeting.

"We, Gushan, are entrusted by the True Man Hongqing and the Goddess Nuwa to wipe out the evil and restore order. We are born with a sense of justice, so we are named 'Gushan Yicong.'" Zhu Yuanzhang announced first.

Zhu Yunwen was the first to express his support, "Grandpa Emperor, you are right. We are committed to the great cause, and the Gushan Yicong is the most suitable."

Zhu Yunwen spoke from the bottom of his heart, because he really disliked the name "Gushan Bandit".

Naturally, Zhu Di and the others had no objections. After all, what Taizu said was right and Taizu was wise!

Zhu Yuanzhang motioned for Zhu Yunwen to sit down, then said, "Next, we will adjust the division of labor among my Gushan Yicong. We will first establish three camps: the Vanguard Camp, the Supply Camp, and the Laoshan Camp."

"The Vanguard Battalion, as the name suggests, is responsible for spearheading the battle. It is the first battalion, and I will personally lead it." Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking and called out, "Zhu Di."

Zhu Di immediately responded and came out, bowing and saying, "Your son is here."

"I appoint you as the commander of the vanguard battalion!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Zhu Di bowed excitedly and said, "I obey your command!"

"Zhu Zhanji, I order you to be the commander of the vanguard camp." Zhu Yuanzhang said again.

Zhu Zhanji also stepped out, bowed and said, "Zhu Zhanji obeys your command!"

"Zhu Houzhao, I order you to be the chief flag officer of the vanguard camp." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Zhu Houzhao responded excitedly, stepped forward and bowed, "Yes, Zhu Houzhao obeys your command!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished arranging the duties of the vanguard camp, he began to arrange the duties of the baggage camp.

"The baggage camp is responsible for the preparation and transportation of the baggage money and grain for our Gushan Yicong. Zhu Gaochi will be in charge and serve as the commander of the baggage camp."

"Zhu Qizhen is the transport officer of the baggage camp."

"Zhu Qiyu, Zhu Zaihou, Zhu Yijun, Zhu Changluo, and Zhu Youxiao are the heads of the baggage camp."

The few people whose names were called immediately stepped forward and bowed, saying, "We obey the order of Grandpa Taizu!"

Finally, there is Laoshanying.

"Laoshanying, meaning the old camp, is the center of my Gushan Yicong."

"Zhu Youtang." Zhu Yuanzhang called out a name, which made Zhu Yunwen, who had been eager to try, stunned for a moment, and then felt extremely disappointed.

He thought that Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely let him take charge of guarding the Laoshan Camp.

"Zhu Youtang, I order you to be the commander of Laoshan Camp and take charge of Laoshan Camp." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Zhu Youtang remained calm and respectfully accepted the order, "Yes, Zhu Youtang, I accept the order."

"Zhu Yunwen, Zhu Jianshen, and Zhu Youjian are the heads of the Laoshan Camp." Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly.

Although he was extremely disappointed, Zhu Yunwen still walked out with Zhu Jianshen and Zhu Youjian, bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, we obey your order."

After Zhu Yuanzhang had settled the three camps, one person seemed to be a little restless.

That was Emperor Jiajing Zhu Houzhao, who found that his grandfather Taizu seemed to have forgotten him.

So he quickly stood up and said, "Grandpa Taizu, I... I don't have a job yet..."

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Houcong, then said calmly: "Oh, don't worry, come to my room after the meeting is over."

When Zhu Houcong heard this, his legs went weak. No way, hadn't Grandpa Taizu fought enough?

Zhu Houcong then quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying: "Grandpa Taizu, this unworthy descendant Zhu Houcong has realized his mistake."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said, "Get up! I didn't say I was going to hit you. Your duties are quite special, so I need to tell you in person."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Houcong immediately felt relieved. He ignored the unhappy looks of the grandfathers around him, thanked Zhu Yuanzhang, and sat back.

The next thing to discuss is the matters concerning the three temples: Xuantu Temple, Yuhua Temple and Shaoyang Mountain.

However, it was not Zhu Yuanzhang who brought up this matter first, but Fang Jian who spoke first.

"My primary mission, along with that of the Gushan Yicong, is to restore order and restore order. This requires us to oppose the Zhenyang Dao Palace, and even to overthrow the imperial courts that believe in it. Of course, cultivators won't participate in mere mortal conflicts and wars. Only if the Zhenyang Dao Palace sends cultivators to deal with the Gushan Yicong will I intervene to resist them." Fang Jian first clarified the main point: "In short, my goal is to support General Zhu in his campaign against those mortal kingdoms, establish his own nation, and then dispel rumors and eliminate filth."

After Fang Jian finished speaking, he looked at the Three Views cultivators and said, "What do you fellow Taoists think? I think it's necessary to clarify things today to avoid conflicts between us in the future."

Upon hearing this, Li Xuanyi, Zhao Yangqing, and Yan Haiping did not respond immediately, but fell into silence. Fang Jian knew that they were communicating with each other through voice communication, so he did not urge them.

But Lu Xuansheng said at this moment: "My life was saved by Dafang Zhenren and Zhu Youxiao. No matter what, I, Lu Xuansheng, will do my best to help Gushan Yicong."

Lu Xuansheng directly bypassed Yan Haiping and stood on Zhu Yuanzhang's side, which was not surprising to everyone.

People who practice Taoism tend to act according to their own impulses. Fang Jian and Zhu Yuanzhang saved Lu Xuansheng's life, which is one of the greatest favors in the world. It would be strange if Lu Xuansheng did not express his stance immediately.

After Lu Xuansheng expressed his stance, Yan Haiping and Xue Qingxia exchanged glances, then nodded, saying, "The Zhenyang Dao Palace has always wanted to eliminate our Yuhua Temple. We came to Gushan today because of Laojun's guidance. I guess this is fate. Our Yuhua Temple is willing to support Gushan Yicong and General Zhu."
