There were a total of 47 Earth Wheel experts and 11 Man Wheel experts who had become members of the Rearguard Commandery.
There were 58 baihu experts.
The 11 Man Wheel experts were all sect chiefs or elders who had died in the investigation of the Wang Estuary. Ren Baqian gave them some privileges, which could be considered as a favor to the descendants.
At the same time, Ren Baqian gave each of them a quota of 22 people. They were divided into two small banners and 20 tiqi. As for the commander, the position was left empty as it was necessary to leave something for others.
The positions of small banners and commander generally required the strength of a Man Wheel expert, and the highest a Man Wheel expert could reach was the position of a commander.
Below the small banners were the tiqi, which was considered the foundation of the Rearguard Commandery. Below the tiqi, there was a group of non-staff personnel called the strongmen.
After all, the goal of the Rearguard Commandery wasn't only to fight and kill, but also to monitor the local area.
"At this time, the Rearguard Commandery has just been established, so everything is simple. You'd better choose carefully among the slots I'm giving you. Don't just shove anyone in. After all, these people are your subordinates and will work for you. Their ability will determine whether you can do things well in the future and determine your future prospects.
In addition, you can also recruit some strongmen to assist the tiqi, act as informants, or do other chores.
Those who are above the tiqi are considered officials, and the imperial court will naturally pay them a salary.
As for the strongmen, you will need to think of a way to recruit them.
Go back and prepare now. Come to me in three days to collect your tokens. "After Ren Baqian explained everything clearly, he let everyone leave.
After everyone left, Gong Zheng scratched his head and asked, "Sir, does the imperial court have money?"
"Didn't you just rob a fortune from Great Xia?"
"When I came here, I heard that Great Xia and the Yun Nation have cut off our salt supply. The officials in the imperial court have used that fortune to buy salt," Gong Zheng said.
Ren Baqian nodded. He had also heard about this. After all, the empress would receive news from Gu City every two or three days and would occasionally tell him about it.
"The difficulties are only temporary. After we conquer the Yun Nation, you can even take a salt bath if you want." Ren Baqian smiled.
"I want to see the sea. I heard that there are big fish in the sea that can feed a person for a lifetime. It's like a piece of land when it floats to the surface of the sea," said Gong Zheng with a grin.
"I want to see it too." Even though Ren Baqian felt that he was talking about whales, he couldn't say for sure.
The animals in this world were larger and more ferocious than those on Earth. For example, pandas ate bamboo on Earth because of the environment. In this world, they ate bamboo because they were at the bottom of the food chain. Other than eating bamboo … they probably couldn't even beat a rabbit.
If it's like this on land, then the marine life in this world should be even more spectacular!
That night, Ren Baqian and the empress were enjoying the shade in the courtyard. When they heard a guard report that someone who claimed to be an old friend was here to see Ren Baqian, they knew that the person they were waiting for had arrived.
He asked someone to bring him to the front hall. Sure enough, it was Su Qing.
When Su Qing saw Ren Baqian, his face started to twitch. His facial expression alternated between black and green as if he had eaten a mouthful of hot feces. In fact, his experience was no different from eating a mouthful of hot feces.
When he saw the arrest warrant, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He even had the thought of fighting Ren Baqian to the death. If this matter were to spread back to Great Xia, he would really become a laughing stock.
He was a famous handsome man in Great Xia. Many girls in the brothels were jealous of him for a second look. At this moment, he had become a pervert who had sex with a cow after drinking in Dayao. Even if others didn't believe it, they would definitely use this matter to mock him.
It was simply too vicious to destroy someone's reputation.
After staring at Ren Baqian for a long time, he saw that he was still drinking "tea" as if nothing had happened. Finally, like a resentful wife, he complained, "Sir Ren, why do you have to do this?"
"You forgot to leave your contact information last time," Ren Baqian said unhurriedly. Ren Baqian said unhurriedly, "Look, you appeared in front of me so quickly. This means that this method is quite effective."
Speaking of this matter, Su Qing's face twitched even more.
After a long while, he sighed and said, "You have seen the person. Tear down those arrest warrants."
Then, he asked, "What exactly do you want from me?"
"Send some things to the palace of Great Xia," Ren Baqian said faintly.
Su Qing's expression immediately became serious. "I do have a few people in the palace, but they can't do much. Their main job is to gather information. The power in the Great Xia Dynasty palace is much stronger than you think. "
"It's not that serious. Just help me put a few small things in the palace. You can put them anywhere, such as in the garden or in the grass. "
"What are you going to do?"
"Come, look at this thing." Ren Baqian picked up a gray cylindrical object on the table and said. It was green and had been sprayed with camouflage patterns. There was a safety switch on it. Since it didn't need to explode, the outer shell was made of ordinary aluminum.
"Is this the kind you used in the north? I've said it's useless. It can be used against ordinary people, but it's useless against experts, "Su Qing said immediately after taking a look.
"It's not what you think." Ren Baqian knew that Su Qing had misunderstood and thought that he was holding a grenade.
"It's not easy to plant people in the palace. I won't let them take risks easily."
"Let's go out of the city. I'll show you." Ren Baqian called out to Shi Hu, who was outside, and went to the backyard to get Lin Qiaole, who was sleeping soundly. She even bit him.
"Take this and throw it as far as you can," Ren Baqian said to Shi Hu.
"Okay, I'm familiar with this thing!" Shi Hu was elated when he saw the thing in Ren Baqian's hand. He had used it many times in Liao City, although this one was a little different.
"Retreat!" Ren Baqian handed the thing to Shi Hu, turned around, and ran back.
Su Qing was puzzled. As far as he knew, this thing wasn't very powerful, but he still followed Ren Baqian and ran.
Lin Qiaole was sitting on the ground yawning. She looked around and landed beside Ren Baqian in a flash.
Shi Hu was left standing there with a silly smile on his face. He turned to look at Ren Baqian, rubbed his head, removed the safety ring, and weighed it in his hand. Based on his experience, this thing would explode in a few breaths' time. He didn't know why Ren Baqian was running so fast.
The next second, his face turned green, and a pungent smell that made it hard for him to breathe filled his nostrils! His chest and head felt as if they had been hit by a sledgehammer, causing him to see stars. He couldn't even breathe, and his lungs felt like they were being squeezed tightly.
