Shenxi carefully planned it out, and this place could be the initial base. It would be difficult for outsiders to know that they could train troops and hide their whereabouts here.
It's especially good for training troops.
However, if they want to contend for the world, they need a bridge to the outside world.
Song Zhen is the best candidate.
With the magistrate of Bian'ai County dead, Song Zhen, as the county magistrate's assistant, could easily retake the county seat and act as magistrate. In such a small, lawless county, with the world in chaos, it would be difficult to find a new magistrate for a while.
Taking over Bian'ai County first is of utmost importance!
We need to ask Song Zhen and Zang Huatian in detail about the situation in Bian'ai County, and we also need to send someone to inquire thoroughly.
After dinner in the evening, once everyone was settled, Zhao Rong came to Chenxi.
Shenxi had already instructed Zhao Rong to have the key figures among the thousands of people come to her place for a meeting.
When all the leaders, big and small, more than a hundred people, arrived at Chenxi's office, Chenxi came out and stood on the high platform.
Looking down at the crowd of people of varying heights from his elevated position, Chen Xi spoke through a megaphone: "You are all people I trust, which is why I called you all here."
When the leaders heard their superior say he trusted them, their faces beamed with pride and joy.
Shen Xi called out Qi Xiuwen, Qi Xiuwu, Zhang Feng, Song Zhen, and Zang Huatian, and said to everyone, "These are the talents I have recently discovered, and from now on they will be my right-hand men."
Then she introduced the backgrounds and skills of each of these people.
In this chaotic world, people with skills are especially respected.
Qi Xiuwu even gave a martial arts demonstration, fighting Zheng Ankang and surprisingly surpassing him.
Shen Xi was truly impressed by her. If Qi Xiuwu had been there before, that tiger would not have been so difficult to deal with.
Zhang Feng also fought a martial arts match, his style was wide and sweeping, the kind of kung fu that real soldiers could practice.
Shenxi was even happier.
Shen Xi glanced at Qi Xiuwu and said, "Qi Xiuwu."
"Here!" Qi Xiuwu stepped forward.
"From now on, you will be the captain of the vanguard. You will lead the charge in all battles!"
Qi Xiuwu stood up straight: "I will obey the commander's instructions!"
Then he looked at Zhang Feng: "Zhang Feng!"
"Here!" Zhang Feng had been on the run for many days without a moment of peace, but finally she could finally settle down here.
"From now on, everyone's training will be in your hands. Train them like regular soldiers, regardless of age or gender."
"yes."
Zhang Feng was very satisfied. This was a job he was capable of doing. He had once been a centurion and managed a hundred men.
"Song Zhen." Shen Xi looked at Song Zhen with a beaming smile.
Song Zhen was still wearing those tattered clothes, but his scholarly air made him appear refined and elegant.
"If you become my prime minister, it means you will be in charge of all matters, big and small, within the team."
Song Zhen readily agreed, confident that he could handle the situation well.
"Zang Huatian".
"Here!" Zang Huatian's round body appeared conspicuously in front of everyone.
"From now on, you'll be in charge of the team's finances! That's no small task. Not only will you manage the finances, but you'll also need to generate income to support these people. Are you capable of handling it?"
Zang Huatian didn't hesitate at all: "Of course I can do it. Don't worry, I will definitely complete the mission!"
Shen Xi nodded in satisfaction and looked at Qi Xiuwen, who was tall and elegant, a rare and handsome young man.
"Qi Xiuwen".
"exist!"
"Since you are an advisor to Lord Xie, you can be an advisor to me too. I'll promote you to chief of staff. If you discover any talented people in the field of staff in the future, you can recommend them to me. I need a staff team."
"I will follow your instructions, Commander."
Shenxi looked at the five people, all of whom were useful talents, and his face showed joy.
I looked at Di Yingxue beside me and softened my voice: "Yingxue, draft the appointment document, write it on the blackboard, and publicize it widely."
Di Yingxue appeared gentle and frail, but her expression was very solemn: "Chief, Yingxue understands."
Zhou Ren managed to turn the wooden board into a blackboard so quickly; this guy is truly talented! No matter how harsh the conditions, he can always find a way to complete the task.
All future rules, regulations, and appointment documents will be announced on the blackboard first, which will also help everyone learn to read more characters.
None of the leaders, big or small, had any objections. Look at the previous status of these five people; they were all much better than them: advisors and guards of the Marquis, centurions, collateral branches of a large family, and county magistrates.
Humans are naturally drawn to strength. When not starving to death, the most basic respect for status and position resurfaces in the hearts of ordinary people.
This time, Shenxi looked at Zhao Rong with a serious expression, and Zhao Rong immediately stood up straighter.
Seeing that his gaze was still full of reverence for her, Shenxi was even more satisfied.
"Zhao Rong, you've lost your position. You're no longer the vanguard captain or the coach. Do you have a position you'd like to take?"
Zhao Rong was stunned. The position he wanted? Was this something he could ask for?
Chenxi smiled at him: "You can ask for a position yourself. What would you like to do?"
Zhao Rong immediately perked up, but said somewhat nervously, "Commander, you asked me to study military strategy before, did you mean you wanted me to become a general? I want to be your general!"
Chen Xi laughed in exasperation, pointing at him with a half-finished finger: "You haven't even learned to walk yet, and you're already trying to run? Have you even learned all the characters?"
Zhao Rong's face was flushed, but because he was naturally dark-skinned, it was hard to see that he was blushing: "Commander, don't expose someone's shortcomings. I learn to read much faster than others. Besides, I already knew some characters before."
"Yeah, I do know a lot, but I still mispronounce half of the ten words!" Shenxi teased him.
Zhao Rong has many things to do, but he is very serious about learning to read. Chen Xi instructed him to learn five characters a day, but Zhao Rong asked to learn ten himself, and he has made great progress now.
Zhao Rong realized that the commander was teasing him, and he smiled sheepishly: "Isn't this just a reservation? I didn't ask the commander to appoint me as the marshal or general right now."
Shen Xi nodded, smiling broadly: "You still have your task. Go and select a hundred elite soldiers from the team. Do nothing for half a month but train them well. I will need them after half a month!"
"As for your position, you will remain an instructor for now. Focus on training this elite force with Zhang Feng. Once you have mastered military strategy, you will be qualified to be a general!"
Zhao Rong was overjoyed to hear this. The commander had agreed. As long as he studied military strategy diligently, he could become a marshal or general.
Shenxi retained five newly acquired talents, as well as Di Yingxue, Zhao Rong, Lin Yanjun, Zhao Peng, Zheng Ankang, Shen Rongxuan, and others.
Facing the crowd, Shen Xi's face turned serious: "Everyone, today I will tell you what's on my mind. In these chaotic times, I intend to fight for my own destiny."
Upon hearing this, everyone understood that Shenxi's previous assignment of a position was definitely not simply to make him a jungle savage!
Everyone nodded in agreement: "We will obey the commander's instructions!"
