A loud bang.
Li Boyang's large hand slammed directly onto the bell. The golden bell shadow lasted for less than half a second before it vanished abruptly. The next moment, Kong Changchun's body was also sent flying backward.
The four men struggled to their feet, feeling as if their bodies had been shattered. They looked respectfully at Li Boyang and said:
"The Commander-in-Chief's martial arts skills are indeed well-deserved; I humbly admit defeat."
After effortlessly dispatching the four men, Li Boyang calmly remarked:
"Your martial arts skills are decent; you're barely qualified to be commanders of the Six Doors."
Li Boyang is currently the chief commander of the Six Doors. Within the Six Doors' structure, there are four other commander positions, each directly under his responsibility, making them quite important.
The four people in front of us are the ones recommended to serve as commanders, which is why we need to consider them.
Before he could finish speaking, Liu Zhaolin quickly replied, "Thank you for your kindness, sir. From now on, I will obey your orders and serve you without question."
Li Boyang nodded and said:
"Once you join the Six Doors, you will no longer be the bandits you once were. You will be reborn. Let me give you a code name."
Liu Ying looked at Li Boyang with a charming expression and said obsequiously, "Please bestow a name upon me, sir."
Li Boyang glanced at the four of them, and suddenly a mischievous thought flashed through his mind. He said to Liu Ying:
From now on, you'll be called Heartless.
Liu Ying bowed respectfully. In fact, he was puzzled as to why the Commander-in-Chief had given him such a nickname, which was completely out of character for her.
Liu Ying was actually quite pretty. Back when she ran the shady inn, countless young men she fancied were slept with by her, and then turned into human flesh buns because they didn't like serving her.
Although he didn't understand why Li Boyang had given him such a nickname, he quickly replied:
"Thank you for bestowing this name upon me, sir."
Li Boyang nodded, then said to Liu Zhaolin:
"You shall be called Iron Hand."
"Thank you for bestowing this name upon me, sir."
Liu Zhaolin used Eagle Claw Kung Fu. When he heard the Commander-in-Chief give him the code name Iron Hand, he felt that the code name suited him quite well.
Li Boyang then looked at Wei Yuntian and said calmly:
"From now on, you'll be chasing life."
"Thank you for bestowing this name upon me, Your Excellency."
Wei Yuntian responded readily. Unlike the previous two, he didn't have many thoughts; whatever the commander-in-chief said was right.
In fact, Wei Yuntian uses the Twelve-Road Springing Leg technique, which is quite a good match for Zhui Ming. There's a leg technique called Deadly Chicken Leg, isn't there?
"As for you."
Li Boyang turned to look at Kong Changchun, who was using the Shaolin Golden Bell Shield, and said calmly:
"You shall be called Cold-Blooded."
"Thank you for bestowing a name upon me, sir."
Kong Changchun nodded excitedly. He thought his code name was great. In his opinion, it was the most impressive of all the code names. Moreover, the code name perfectly described his personality. The Commander-in-Chief really did favor him.
Cold-blooded, ruthless, iron-fisted, and relentlessly pursuing.
Li Boyang smiled inexplicably at the code names of the four people in front of him.
From now on, this will be a code name, and "Six Doors" will be a code name for a commander. No matter who holds this position, it will be called this code name. It's quite interesting to think about.
Go back and search through the martial arts archives that were moved from Zhu Yuanzhang. Find out the representative martial arts of your sect and bestow them upon them. Also, set a rule that future commanders must learn four martial arts before they can serve, and ensure that the Six Doors continue to be passed down.
"Alright, everyone get out. I'll give you a month to organize your teams. I'll start assigning tasks after a month."
"This subordinate takes his leave."
The four bowed and slowly retreated.
The beginning is always the hardest; selecting the right commander is just the first step.
Li Boyang adopted a top-down approach, selecting individuals directly responsible to him and then having them develop their own networks down the hierarchy until they had spies throughout the entire martial arts world.
The three things must be done one by one, not all at the same time. Having the martial arts sects report to the government office should be left until last, because that is the most difficult.
The remaining two things can actually be done in parallel. First, establish the authority of the imperial law in the martial arts world. Catch a few chickens and kill them first. Once everyone knows to be afraid, they will naturally know that matters in the martial arts world should be resolved within the martial arts world and that they must never overstep their bounds.
To achieve this, what is needed is not how high one's martial arts skills are, but a vast network covering the entire martial arts world and a team composed of masters.
The vast network that spans the martial arts world can keep a close eye on the dynamics of the entire martial arts community at all times. As soon as it discovers anyone showing any signs of overstepping their bounds, it will immediately dispatch experts to eliminate them.
As a result, people who have been in the world for a long time will naturally know what they can and cannot do.
Below the commander of the Six Doors is the elite team he wants to build, which is specifically responsible for eliminating those troublesome martial arts heroes.
As for the issue of informants, the solution is to develop the Six Doors' external network. This can be achieved by leveraging the imperial court's influence in local areas and having the local government officials help set up such networks.
As for the problems of the martial arts sects, they can only solve them themselves. Relying on these small fry who haven't even reached the Qi Refining stage will only result in them being swallowed up by the martial arts sects.
Having planned what to do next, Li Boyang's figure flashed and disappeared into the Six Doors.
