In the next month, Shen Hao gradually smoothed out the things in his hands.
First of all, the Black Flag Battalion has now completed its enrollment expansion and now has two small flag battalions: Group A will continue to be led by Wang Jian, and the newly formed Group B will have Zhang Liao as the small flag officer.
After more than half a month of integrated training, there is no problem in running into each other.
In addition, at the end of May, the formal order for the adjustment of the Black Flag Camp came out from Qianhu Station in Fengri City. Tang Qingyuan ordered all senior officials to circulate it, which immediately caused the entire guard station to explode.
In the black flag camp, the rank of small flag officer and above will be directly raised by half a level? !
In other words, if you are a small flag officer, you will have a rank of seventh rank elsewhere, but in the Black Flag Camp, you will have a rank of full seventh rank! And the general flag of the Black Flag Battalion has changed from the seventh grade to the sixth grade? !
Many people were jealous when they saw Black Flag Camp's rising tide, but now they are jealous!
Nowadays, the small flag officers of the Black Flag Camp are on an equal footing with other flag chief officers. The chief flag officer, Shen Hao, has the same status as the Trial Hundred Households. Such obvious support for the Black Flag Camp simply shocked everyone's attention. .
After the news was conveyed, not one or two people went to Tang Qingyuan to express their indignation and dissatisfaction. Except for Chen Tianwen, the general flag of the C-shaped flag, who remained silent, all the senior officials of the Licheng Guard Station did the same.
Why can Black Flag Camp get such preferential treatment? !
Not convinced!
Tang Qingyuan's answer was also very simple: Not convinced? Okay, you can submit the letter yourself to the Qianhu Office in Fengri City to find Jiang Qianhu’s reaction and see what Jiang Qianhu has to say.
Tang Qingyuan was very unhappy. These subordinates usually seemed to be in awe of him, but once their personal interests were involved, their true colors were revealed?
Hum, so what if I go to Sealing Sun City? It was the commanding officer's decision to boost the Black Flag Battalion's momentum. Don't Jiang Cheng have no choice but to comply, let alone Tang Qingyuan?
The secret uproar and dissatisfaction were quickly suppressed. At least on the surface, he seemed to have regained his composure, but there was a sense of estrangement in his eyes that was not there before when he looked at the Black Flag Camp.
In the past, everyone was the same. At most, the division of labor was different. We were all a family. Now that you and I are different, can we still be considered a family?
Of course it's impossible.
Shen Hao felt these changes keenly.
However, there are exceptions.
"Mr. Shen Qi, are you still busy?"
"Ouch, Mr. Chen Qi, why are you here? Please sit down."
Chen Tianwen, the general bannerman of the C-character Banner, was Shen Hao's former boss. Now after the Black Flag Battalion was raised, only Mr. Chen Qi in the whole guardhouse besides Tang Qingyuan was still as happy as before with Shen Hao.
"Come here for a cup of tea and stretch your legs and feet. Haha, I'm getting older now, and I always feel very stiff after sitting for a long time."
Shen Hao quickly made a cup of tea for Chen Tianwen, put it in his hand, and said with a smile: "You are only fifty-three, so you are young and strong. How are you old?"
"I'm really getting old, especially here, I get old very fast!" Chen Tianwen took the tea and thanked him. He pointed to his head as he said it, which meant that his brain was not working well as he got older.
"Haha, what are you talking about, Mr. Chen Qi?"
"Really, I'm not kidding you. Just take the copper cabinet you built recently. I can't do this kind of fantastic idea. Now every time I pass by those copper cabinets, I see someone going inside. Delivering letters should be fruitful, right?"
Shen Hao couldn't figure out why Chen Tianwen suddenly mentioned the copper cabinet. He thought about it in his heart, but smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, I receive no less than a hundred reports every day, but there is nothing useful in them. Anyway, there’s a mess of everything.”
"Haha, of course. The copper cabinet you made is the first one since the founding of the country. It's new. It's inevitable that it will be a little messy at the beginning. It will definitely be of great use when you smooth it out later. Maybe this method can be directed to the yamen as a model to be promoted throughout the territory?"
"Mr. Chen Qi is joking, how can it be so easy?"
Then Chen Tianwen changed the subject and lowered his voice: "But your copper cabinet has made you a lot of enemies. In addition, you are now on the cusp of the storm and you will attract people's jealousy. You should be prepared early."
Is it possible not to make enemies? Those big and small figures in Licheng are not fools or blind people. Whoever is pouring dirty water on themselves through the copper cabinet must have some idea. Regardless of whether it is true or false, the Black Flag Battalion that has mastered so many reporting letters will definitely be hated by others. Up.
But what does this have to do with Chen Tianwen? Why are we suddenly talking about this?
"Don't worry about my expression. Don't worry. I just don't want you to fall into trouble like this. You must know that although your rank is higher than mine now, you are still a soldier under me, right? We are naturally on the same side. Right?"
Shen Hao smiled and nodded. Chen Tianwen had indeed left a good impression on him. If not for Chen Tianwen's trust in the previous Qi family massacre case, he would not have been able to come forward immediately. This friendship is not just talk.
"That's it. So, listen to me, make some plans early, otherwise the accumulated hatred can blow people to pieces if there is any flashpoint."
Shen Hao sighed, made himself a cup of tea, gave a rare wry smile, and said, "Mr. Chen Qi, I'm sitting on the wall right now and can't get down."
Shen Hao said this very cryptically, just complaining. He had been annoyed by the issue of taking sides recently, and he never thought whether Chen Tianwen could understand.
But surprisingly, Chen Tianwen seemed to really understand.
"Oh, it's really uncomfortable to be caught between Tang Baihu and Chen Baihu. In this way, you won't be able to find a backer for the time being. Without a backer, those outside will have no scruples about their ill intentions toward you."
This is reality, and even a violent institution like Black Flag Camp, which is temporarily terrifying, cannot escape it. Without a backer, unless you never make mistakes, once someone catches you with even the slightest clue, it will be a doomed situation.
"Mr. Chen Qi's eyes are still so sharp." Shen Hao generously admitted the problems that troubled him, but he would not express his inner preference. He believes in always leaving some room for himself when talking to others.
Chen Tianwen was an old man, so he couldn't tell that Shen Hao had reservations. However, he came here today to "ride the east wind" and came prepared. He didn't care whether Shen Hao had reservations about him. On the contrary, he treated him like this. more advantageous.
Just listen to Chen Tianwen continue to say: "Actually, Mr. Shen, you don't have to be so entangled. Neither Tang Baihu nor Chen Baihu are big backers. Facing so many noble and wealthy businessmen in Licheng, their strength will be slightly stronger." Not enough, not to mention that the situation in Fengri City above will only become more complicated. If you still want to continue to hang out in the Black Flag Camp, then you should find a more reliable backer."
"Oh? Mr. Chen Qi is here to teach me today? Then Shen is all ears."
"Don't take advice seriously, just think of it as chatting. Since Mr. Shen Qi is willing to listen, let me talk about Tang Baihu first. Maybe Mr. Shen doesn't know that Tang Baihu is actually an abandoned disciple of the sect, right?"
"Huh? Abandoned disciple of the sect?!"
