The Emperor is Above

Chapter 393 Dragon City Guards
The 22,000 wilderness people cherish the current opportunity.

No matter whether it was the chiefs of the tribes such as Fu Shou, or the young, strong, old or weak, they all obeyed the orders.
Qing Yi allowed San Yisheng, Nan Guoshi and Bei Gongyu to take charge of civil affairs, and he focused his main energy on military system.

How to effectively command and organize a large militia force of up to 15,000 people is a serious issue that must be taken seriously.

However, Qing Yi did not expect that everyone did not have too many ideas about the organization. Instead, they argued for a long time about the name of the army and failed to decide on it.

"The names of Left Master, Middle Master, and Right Master must not be used, at least not at this stage!"

Qing Yi smiled and shook his head, firmly rejecting Dongmen Bao's suggestion, and patiently explained to him and other retainers,
"The title of the Three Masters is a title that can only be used by the princes of a country. After all, we are still under the rule of the State of Xing, so using the title of the Three Masters is really an act of usurpation.

In the next few years, Longcheng's development will still require resources from Xing State, so we should not make the sensitive monarch and ministers worried and regard us as enemies.

Besides, I have a total of only 37,000 people under my command. Even if all the young and strong are incorporated into the militia, there are only 15,000 of them, which is a pitifully small number.

Taking these factors into consideration, there is no need to adopt the name of three divisions. Let’s just call them Left Camp, Center Camp, and Right Camp.”

"Master, that's too petty!" Da Niu shouted in a muffled voice, "All the cities in Xing State are still called city guards."

"Yeah, what Daniel said makes sense!" Mu Yi's eyes rolled around and he nodded, "Since the Lord's fiefdom is called Dragon City, why don't we just call it the Dragon City City Guards?"

"There's nothing wrong with Dragon City Guards, and the names are similar to those of other city guards!" Gongsun Wu thought for a moment, frowned slightly, and said, "But it still feels a little weird."

"Daniu and Muyi reminded me to remove the word 'city'. From now on, all the troops will be called 'Dragon City Guards', namely the Left Camp, the Middle Camp and the Right Camp of the Dragon City Guards!"

Seeing that they were about to get into a new topic of dispute, Qing Yi did not hesitate to mention the identity of the Lord Doctor and finally confirmed the name of his own militia.

Seeing that the retainers and clan leaders wanted to say something else, he smiled and shook his head, "You don't have to think about anything else. Instead of caring about an empty title, you might as well listen to the candidates for the captains of each camp."

Looking around at the silent crowd, Qing Yi smiled faintly and announced loudly, "The Dragon City Guard consists of three battalions, with Liu Yi as the captain of the middle battalion."

"what?"

No matter whether it was the retainers headed by Gongsun Wu, the various tribesmen headed by Fu Shou, or the people of the Jiliu tribe headed by Liu Yi, all showed expressions of shock.

Originally everyone guessed that the candidate for the Commandant of the Central Camp would be the steward Gongsun Wu, but no one expected that Qing Yi would appoint the newcomer Liu Yi to the position.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Liu Yi stood up in surprise and a little uneasiness, bowed respectfully and said: "The senior doctor trusts me so much, I am deeply humbled.

Although I was born in the Jiliu tribe, I have never had the experience of leading troops in battle. Now that I have taken on the important task of leading the army, I am afraid that I have failed the trust of the senior doctor!"

"The Dragon City Guards are also newly established. Since Brother Liu is worried, you should get to know them more every day. I believe you can do it!"

Qing Yi chuckled to comfort Liu Yi. He appointed Liu Yi as the captain of the central camp more because he took into consideration the Ji Liu tribe. The old patriarch had clearly pledged allegiance to his family and also gave him such generous gifts. As a lord, he could not be stingy.

What's more, the Dragon City Guards are newly established and cannot afford a major war within a year or two. It's a good opportunity to do a favor to the old patriarch.

On the other hand, if Liu Yi really lacks the ability to take on the heavy responsibility, the worst that can happen is that he can wait until the land of Longcheng is stabilized and reappoint a new captain. Liu Yi had no idea that the lord was treacherous, and he was deeply moved but also uneasy, so Qing Yi smiled and said, "Since Brother Liu is unsure, I will let Uncle Chai cooperate with you to train the central camp, and let the two clan leaders Xiong Zhong and Hu Ya serve as captains together.

Xizi and Huaimu are both disciples of Uncle Chai. They will serve as the Sima of the Central Camp. You can select and appoint the rest of the candidates yourself!"

Of course Qing Yi would insert his confidants into every army. Liu Yi understood this but was still moved. As the young patriarch of the Jiliu tribe, he also understood a lot.

He had just joined Qing Yi's army and had taken up an important position. Even if the other retainers did not say anything, they would definitely have opinions. Qing Yi's placement of a few confidants actually made him feel more at ease. He immediately bowed with a firm look and said:

"I will definitely live up to the trust of my lord. I will cooperate well with the two clan leaders, Uncle Chai, Hu Ya, and Xiong Zhong, to train a powerful army for my lord that can fight hundreds of battles."

Seeing that Chai Yong, Xiong Zhong, and Hu Ya had no objections, especially the excited faces of the people from the Ji Liu tribe, Qing Yi smiled and nodded at them, then turned to look at Gongsun Wu and chuckled:
"Brother Gongsun, as the steward of the family and the commander of the Left Camp, your work will inevitably be more difficult in the future. Chief Niu Wu, Dongmen Hu, and Dongmen Bao will be the three commanders of the Left Camp, and Shitou and Mengzi will also be assigned to be Sima of the Left Camp."

"Don't worry, my lord. I will live up to your trust!"

Gongsun Wu, Niu Wu, Dongmen Hu, Dongmen Bao, as well as Shitou and Mengzi, who were extremely surprised, all stood up solemnly and bowed deeply.

Qing Yi nodded to them, then turned to look at Fu Shou, the chief of the Fuhu tribe: "Chief Fu Shou is highly respected and is the commander of the right camp. Ma Huan, Daniu, and Mu Yi are the three captains under him."

"I will obey the Lord's orders!"

Fu Shou looked a little surprised. He had never expected that he would be appointed as the commander of the right camp.

The other twenty or so barbarian tribe leaders were shaking with excitement. Fu Shou could be said to be their representative. He did not expect that he would have a seat just after coming here. The lord truly treated everyone equally.

"My lord is so broad-minded that he has entrusted us with the responsibility of the three armies without considering our status as humble. From now on, each unit must go through fire and water for him, even if we die nine times, we will not regret it!"

In fact, not only the people of the Great Wilderness and the people of the Jiliu tribe represented by Liu Yi were particularly convinced of Qing Yi, but even the Wangmang Fish King also admired Qing Yi's methods in his heart. Although he was just a young lord, he was impressive.

In addition, he felt particularly regretful. If there were more giants of the Wangmang clan, perhaps they would have had the opportunity to form a battalion on their own.

"Uncle Fish King!"

At this time, Qing Yi's laughter interrupted Wang Mang Fish King's meditation, "I will take the remaining sixteen clan leaders, senior totem warriors of each tribe, and intermediate totem warriors.

Qi Ji, Qu Bing and all twelve of your clansmen will be incorporated into the private army, and Uncle Yu Wang will be in charge of the lord's private army, which is actually the personal guard. What do you think?"

This time, even the Wangmang Fish King bowed with tears in his eyes and said, "How dare we disobey the Lord's orders? From now on, we, the Wangmang giant warriors, will be the Lord's most solid and reliable shield."

Wang Mangqiji and Wang Mangqubing were extremely excited, and even the tribal leaders and totem warriors who were incorporated into the lord's private army looked proud of it.

It can be said that Qing Yi racked his brains for this military reorganization, and finally made everyone generally satisfied. He also mixed the various units without making a fuss, which can be regarded as a satisfactory result.

Thinking of this, Qing Yi showed a satisfied smile on his face and subconsciously turned his head to look in the direction of the car camp. After solving the problem of the young and strong people in the wilderness, the next problem would be the women and children of the people in the wilderness.
