In the morning, Shen Hao went to Lianfeng City. The first batch of expansions of the Black Flag Battalion under Tang Qingyuan had been completed, and he was asked to go over and review it.
Shen Hao had seen the expanded personnel roster sent by Tang Qingyuan before, and this time he came here just for a formality and to give Tang Qingyuan some peace of mind.
Today's Black Flag Battalion is no longer in the position of having to select and replenish its team from "unwanted idlers" when it was newly established. It is not an exaggeration to describe the popularity of the Black Flag Battalion's establishment as "flock", and it is even very popular. appropriate.
First of all, although the salary is the same as the general establishment of Xuanqing Guards, the subsidies are high! This part was issued independently by the Zhenfu Envoy Yamen. In addition, with the money independently allocated by the Black Flag Camp, the salary of the Black Flag Camp is nearly half higher for the same position and grade!
The second is the "pilot" for promotion. For the same position, the Black Flag Camp can be half a level higher than the average Xuanqing Guard.
These two aspects have made the Black Flag Camp's expanded roster now full of talents.
According to Tang Qingyuan, if Shen Hao hadn't required that a certain number of non-monk personnel be retained in the Black Flag Camp's establishment, this expansion would have been able to recruit all monks, even those in the middle of the Qi Refining Realm. To 30% or more!
Of course, although monks are more powerful than ordinary people in many places, the Black Flag Battalion is not a pure killing organization. It requires diversity and adaptability, so Shen Hao has drawn a red line. The number of non-monk members must not be less than 30%.
In addition to the expansion of the number of people who need to be recruited according to the cultivation level, the people recruited must also meet the status requirements: disciples of high-ranking families are not required, children of the Xiu clan are not required, and descendants of officials with official positions of fifth rank and above are not required. Those who were originally employed in Xuan Qingwei's system and want to switch jobs should not...
The independence of the Black Flag Battalion is the biggest feature, so Shen Hao spent a lot of thought on the expansion of personnel, trying his best not to offend others, not to pollute the independent characteristics of the Black Flag Battalion, and third, to find elite soldiers and strong generals.
At least for now, Tang Qingyuan has done a good job in the expansion, basically following Shen Hao's requirements.
This batch of newly recruited black flag battalions will be filled into the evil-killing plan, or directly enter the missionary team, or enter the second-line echelon for military support.
In fact, Tang Qingyuan moved so quickly because Shen Hao was deliberately pushing him away.
Among the three officers in charge of the two black flag battalions, plus Wang Yiming, Tang Qingyuan is undoubtedly the oldest, has the richest experience and knowledge, and is also the most flexible. You can see one or two of the strategy of "batch, establish a batch".
To put it bluntly, Tang Qingyuan was asked to stand up and show an example to Chen Sheng and Wang Yiming. He would not deliberately test Shen Hao's bottom line or break the expansion rules out of favour.
Shen Hao believed that after the first expansion under Tang Qingyuan here was completed, Wang Yiming and Chen Sheng would also complete it within a few days, and they would not be much worse than Tang Qingyuan.
"Forget it about dinner. The money and food austerity issue has not really been solved yet, and there is no need to implement the facts. You should pay more attention here. The method of "killing one group and establishing another group" was proposed by you. I hope you will do it here. If you are careful, you can also provide some reference to Guangshun and Fengri City."
"Don't worry, sir. My subordinates will definitely handle it properly, and any problems will be reported as soon as possible." Tang Qingyuan followed Shen Hao step by step. It was impossible to tell that he had done anything with Shen Hao before. Such a way of getting along as equals, let alone that Shen Hao once worked as an errand under him.
This is an old fritter, who can keep his composure and adjust his mentality well. Even though he was once Shen Hao's top, and the two had a close personal relationship, Tang Qingyuan is very confident in his current position and can handle it as a subordinate. The identity and attitude you should have.
"Very good, I can rest assured that you can do the work. Okay, go back, there's no need to send it off."
"I would like to send you my best regards!"
Shen Hao waved his hand and led a group of guards into the teleportation circle in Lianfeng City. Outside, Tang Qingyuan led the crowd and bowed to see him off.
The next moment, the faint light of the teleportation array flickered on and off, and Shen Hao had returned to Sealing Sun City when his eyes widened again. But suddenly my heart felt inexplicable.
"Huh?" Shen Hao frowned slightly, and Shen Hao didn't know why he felt a little irritable just now.
However, before Shen Hao could think about it, he saw the figures of several subordinates guarding outside the teleportation formation of Fenglu City. It was Wang Yiming and several personal guards.
"Sir, something happened on the river bank."
"River Ridge? What's going on?" Shen Hao kept walking, walked out of the teleportation circle and continued to the Black Flag Camp Commander's Office, while asking Wang Yiming in a deep voice.
River Ridge is more than 40 miles south of Fengri City and belongs to Zhuangzi, a companion of Fengri City. It got its name because there is a small river beside Zhuangzi.
There are many Zhuangzi places like Hegeng around every big city, and they are an indispensable foundation for the big city. Otherwise, the vegetables, poultry, firewood that people in the city eat, and even the daily dung trucks in the city, all need to have somewhere to go in and out.
Hegeng is a village near Fengri City that mainly grows seasonal vegetables. It also raises some livestock and poultry and relies on Fengri City for food.
"Sir, this afternoon Hegeng Village has ten rooms, nine of which are empty. The remaining people have all returned from Fengri City after doing business, and those who stayed in the village have disappeared.
The yamen went to the yamen, and after checking, they found the missing people in a forest behind Zhuangzi. They were all hung on trees, with a big hole dug out in the heart, and no one was alive. The local government classified the case as special and reported it to Xuanqing Guard, who now sent a general staff to investigate.
Do you think we need to get closer to understand the situation? "
When Shen Hao heard "a big hole was dug out at the heart", he instinctively stopped and even touched his left chest subconsciously.
"Tear out the heart? How many people died?"
"According to the news heard so far, at least 250 people are dead. It seems that there is a high possibility of evil."
After taking a few breaths, Shen Haoden continued to walk forward. As he walked, he said: "Pay attention to this case. On the grounds of "understanding the situation," send a few smart and capable people there, but do not get involved in the specific investigation. This case is still open. It’s not our turn to intervene, understand?”
"My subordinate understands."
Black Flag Camp is now an independent yamen, and its main job is not to investigate daily special cases. Therefore, the local government directly approached the Xuanqing Guard Qianhu Office.
Wang Yiming came here in a hurry because too many people died in this case and it was so close to Fengli City. It was a "major emergency", so he reported it as soon as possible.
But what really concerned Shen Hao was the way those people died that Wang Yiming mentioned: having their hearts taken out.
