The power level of each division in Fire Fighting Thieves is divided into three equal parts that are very simple and easy to understand.
The person with the highest status is undoubtedly the squad leader.
Below are 10 people with positions similar to those of mid-level cadres.
Further down, there are 50 colleagues who serve as grassroots officials.
Qingdeng arrived alone at the headquarters of the Third Division and met a group of support personnel who came to greet him outside the camp gate.
The leader of this group of responders is one of the members of the Third Division, named "Kuroba Seishi".
He has good facial features and is articulate, well-rounded and eloquent. It would be appropriate to send him as the receptionist to welcome Qingdeng.
"Lord Tachibana! I'm the official Kuroba Qingsi! Your Excellency is here, I'm welcome from afar..."
Kuroba Kiyoshi chirped and said a bunch of polite words full of honorifics.
"Gui'an." Qingdeng smiled, "You must have been waiting here for a long time to welcome me, right? I'm sorry for keeping you waiting."
Qingden didn't say much nonsense, and after a few brief greetings with Kuroba Seishi, he said:
"Kuroba-kun, please take me in. I can't wait to see how beautiful the interior of the camp is and how heroic the members of the third division are."
"Yes! Mr. Tachibana, please come with me! All the generals of the third division are waiting at the school grounds!"
Kuroba Shiro turned to one side, bent down and made a "please" gesture to Aoden.
Qingden passed through the camp gate and entered the camp at a speed half a body slower than Kuroyu.
"Master Tachibana, go straight in this direction. This is the archery range where we practice our bow skills. And the road we are walking on now leads directly to the school grounds."
Kuroyu enthusiastically introduced everything about the camp to Qingden.
Qingdeng also listened carefully and nodded slightly from time to time.
At this time, Kuroba Shiro, who was leading the way, suddenly tilted his head slightly and squinted at Qingden behind him.
——As rumored, our new captain is really young...
Looking at Qingden's excessively young face, a trace of contempt flashed in Kuroyu's eyes.
——You are so young that people feel so unreliable...
It's not that Kuroyu looks down on Qingden.
Rather, it's the opposite - Kuroba admires Aomori very much.
Since he was a child, Kuroba has been very fond of heroic stories about "one rider can defeat a thousand".
Whether it is "Zhao Zilong of Changshan rode alone to save the savior, seven in and seven out of Changbanpo", or "Sanada Yukimura made a desperate attack on the Tokugawa army's main formation, scaring Tokugawa Ieyasu and fled in panic", as long as this kind of protagonist is as strong as Superman,
Kuroyu likes the story of gods killing gods and Buddhas.
The various achievements Aomori has achieved so far perfectly fit Kuroba's preferences.
This young new captain has great swordsmanship and is very strong - there is no doubt about this.
But... just because a person is powerful with force does not mean that he knows how to manage and lead troops!
Looking back at the new captain's previous resume - he has never engaged in management-related work before! He has no experience in leading a team!
A general values wisdom.
Throughout the ages, I have never heard of a reckless man who only knows how to fight being able to lead a team. …
Not to mention that the team Qingdeng will lead is an army with a very complicated organizational structure and human relations!
——Team 3 is not an easy team to manage... Can Tachibana-sama do it?
Kuroyu frowned slightly, and such questions couldn't help but arise in his mind.
He has served in the Third Division for three full years, so he knows how many fierce, stubborn, arrogant and dissolute generals there are in the Third Division.
Akabane, Midorikawa, Shirosaki...these guys are all thorny.
Qingdeng is really too young.
Prior to this, before Qingteng was appointed as the new captain of the Third Division, the youngest person in the Third Division was Tong Xin, who had just turned 20.
In other words - any current member of the Third Division is older than Qingden!
Japan is a country that pays great attention to seniority - this is also one of the bitter consequences of the extreme solidification of classes.
The promotion of officials basically depends on their family background and seniority.
There are very few officials who have risen through the ranks through hard work and talent.
Therefore, unless you have a very prominent family background, being "young" is a real disadvantage in the official circles of the Edo shogunate.
Qingdeng is so young that he can't control anyone at all.
With such a little guy riding on his head... Kuroyu couldn't even imagine how many people would disobey Qingden's discipline, obey Qingden's instructions, or even go against them.
Human psychology is very strange.
Everyone in the Third Division knows that Qingteng is a very powerful swordsman. They all know that Qingteng has great military exploits and has killed hundreds of souls with his sword.
so what?
When you see someone who is so much younger than you criticize yourself, you will inevitably feel awkward and uncomfortable.
What's more, this young man "airborne" here!
——Forget it, it's useless for me to think about it here. It doesn't matter to me whether Tachibana-sama can manage the third division well. He can just ask for his own blessings.
Black Feather shrugged.
Whether Aoto can sit securely as the captain of the third division... To be honest, Kuroba doesn't care at all.
As long as you don't touch his "cake" and don't affect his happy life, he doesn't care even if the sky falls!
At this time, Qingden and Kuroba had arrived at the school grounds while they were talking.
It was a dirt field that could accommodate hundreds of people circling and galloping.
From a long time ago, this area has been used as a military site for fire-fighting thieves.
The land that was originally loose and soft has become extremely hard under the trampling of countless human feet.
The compacted soil is full of large and small potholes.
There is literally not a blade of grass growing.
Looking around, except for a few scattered small insects, there is no life on the land at the school ground.
Because there is no space for them to grow, even the most tenacious weeds cannot survive in this empty field.
From a distance, Qingdeng saw a relatively neat square formation standing in the center of the school ground.
——Are these people the members of the Third Division...
Qing Denggang had this question in his mind, and Black Feather who was walking in front said quickly at the right time:
"Lord Tachibana, all the generals of the third division are here! Please review!"
Qingdeng nodded slightly and quickened his pace.
As Qingdeng gradually approached, everyone in the phalanx seemed to have rehearsed in advance. Regardless of the dust on the ground, they knelt down on one knee in uniform movements and saluted Qingdeng.
Qingdeng smiled and waved his hand, saying "no courtesy, please get up".
At this time, Qingdeng suddenly realized that this seemed to be the first time in his life that so many people had bowed down to him, and it was also the first time that he had said "no courtesy" to so many people.
With one call and a hundred responses, a large group of people listened to his orders... It felt a bit strange.
In one fell swoop, he was upgraded from "the 'managed' who was controlled by others" to "the 'manager' who manages 60 soldiers" - Qingdeng was not yet fully accustomed to this drastic change in status.
Qingdeng wanted to get to know the middle-level cadres of the team first.
So, he asked Kuroyu in a low voice: "Who are Yuli?".
Black Feather said respectfully:
"Tachibana-sama, the people in the front row of the array are the members of our third division! Please allow me to introduce you one by one - this is Shirasaki Heijiro. He has been serving as a thief for 30 years.
Year! He is the oldest person in our third division!"
As soon as Kuroyu finished speaking, a middle-aged man with mostly white hair walked out of the queue slowly with an expressionless face.
"Tachibana-sama." The middle-aged man bent down to salute and introduced himself in a lukewarm tone, "Your Majesty, Shirasaki Heijiro."
Qingdeng smiled: "Gui'an. I'm here for the first time. Please give me your advice in the future."
"..." Shirasaki Heijiro nodded gently and remained silent.
"This is Midorikawa Gozaburo."
Kuroyu pointed to the next person - a young man with a tall figure and a fairly handsome face.
Midorikawa smiled slightly, and after briefly introducing himself, he nodded to Qingto.
"This is Akabane Koichiro."
Akabane: "..."
Akabane, whose height and waist are both 1.6 meters and looks like a "walking mountain of meat," said nothing.
He neither introduced himself nor saluted Qingdeng.
He glanced at Qingdeng with an indifferent expression, then withdrew his gaze, raised his head, unfolded all three folds on his chin, and pointed his widened nostrils at Qingdeng.
Akabane was so disrespectful to Aoden. When Kuroyu saw this, he said "uh" and looked embarrassed. He looked at Aoto uneasily, but found that Aoto's expression was as usual.
Qingden looked calm and unmoved by Akabane's rude behavior.
Qingto noticed Kuroyu's gaze, raised his chin to Kuroyu, indicating "continue working", and then helped him introduce the rest of the people.
Kuroyu coughed a few times, collected his emotions, and walked to the next Yuli - a thin man with a short stature.
"This is Aoi Jingyang. He was promoted to Yuli two months ago due to merit. He is 27 years old this year. He is currently the most junior and youngest Yuli in our third team."
The most junior, the youngest—these words made Qingto couldn’t help but look at Aoi Jingyang a few more times. …
It doesn't matter. After taking a closer look at Aoi, he discovered that the haori on Aoi's body was actually bad.
There are very obvious signs of tearing on the skirt and two sleeves.
Logically speaking, a person with the first level of officialdom and strength would not be unable to wear good clothes.
So, Qingdeng asked curiously:
"Aoi-kun, what happened to your Haori?"
Dressing inappropriately in front of a superior officer - this is a big or small matter.
Hearing Qingdeng's question, Aoi thought that Qingdeng wanted to punish him, so his expression changed drastically and he hesitated:
"This...that...this...that...I...I..."
Aoi subconsciously glanced at Akabane beside him.
Akaba seemed to have a mental connection with Aoi, and at the same time Aoi looked at him, he secretly glanced at Aoi.
A fierce look full of fierceness.
"!!"
Aoi's face suddenly turned white.
After a moment of intense hesitation on his face, Aoi drooped his shoulders like a deflated rubber ball and buried his head deeply:
"Yes... I'm sorry... I woke up in a hurry today and had no time to dress up. I accidentally wore a bad dress. Please, please forgive me..."
Everyone around him, including Midorikawa and Shirasaki, all knew what happened to Aoi's clothes.
But no one stood up to support Aoi.
They all have an indifferent look of "it's none of their business, just hang on high".
What's more, some, such as Midorikawa, directly showed an expression of gloating.
Qingto could see the changes in the expressions of Aoi, Shirosaki, Midorikawa and others.
Akabane and Aoi looked at each other with two completely different eyes - although this scene was fleeting, Aomori still keenly captured it and stored it in his mind.
But Qingdeng remained calm and silent.
"It's okay, there's no need to be so frightened."
Qingdeng raised his hand to help Lan Jing straighten his back again.
"It's just a trivial matter, I don't care."
After patting Aoi's shoulders and briefly comforting him, Qingden followed Kuroba to the next Yuli...
…
It was nearly half an hour before all 10 and 50 Tongxin people met.
Remembering the faces and names of a full 60 people... this is a heavy workload for others.
But for Qingdeng, this task was easy.
His "photographic memory"... this gift of enhancing memory ability is not something to be looked at for a while.
Whether it was their co-operation as a middle-level cadre or their co-operation as a grass-roots staff, Qingdeng had already kept in mind the faces and names of each of them, as well as...their attitude towards himself.
"Kuroba-kun, you can join the team. I have something to say to you next."
"yes!"
Kuroyu responded loudly and bowed his head in salute.
While Kuroyu quickly returned to the formation, Qingden came to the front of the formation.
Qingdeng's tall figure allowed him to "see the mountains and small mountains at a glance" and overlook his cadres without standing on a high platform.
"Everyone!"
Qingdeng put his hands behind his back, took a deep breath, gathered strength and emotions, and then shouted: …
"I've always been disgusted by the kind of empty and boring official language and clichés, so I'm just going to tell you something that comes from the bottom of my heart!"
"You all must know that before I was sent to deal with the thieves, I was a member of the Northern Bansho Town Council."
"During my tenure in Sadachi, I only accumulated two pieces of experience."
Qingden raised two fingers.
"How to check the experience of Eucalyptus."
"And... the experience of how to minimize the loss of the tool while improving the efficiency of cutting people."
"Except for the two things mentioned above, I don't know or am familiar with anything else."
"I have never served in the Huo Fu Thieves Reform. I am not familiar with the daily operations of our team."
"I have never led such a large team. I have only managed three Okabiki before."
“There are so many things worth learning slowly from scratch.”
"I may make some decision-making mistakes in the above aspects in the future."
"I ask you all to work with me in the future to jointly build the third division!"
Qingdeng finished his short speech.
He looked up - there were only a few people responding...
A few people listened to his speech very carefully - such as Aoi. He was attentive throughout the speech without even blinking.
A few people looked scornful and didn't bother to listen to what Qingto was saying - such as Akabane.
A few people watched the whole process with their eyes, nose and heart, and they didn't know if they were in a daze just now and now - such as Shirasaki.
Most people looked numb and indifferent, as if they were indifferent to everything in the outside world - such as Kuroba and Midorikawa.
Person No. 60 showed four completely different and distinct types of reactions and expressions.
When Qingdeng saw this, he couldn't help but laugh.
At this moment, he sincerely felt: My grandson Chutaro is not alarmist. The third division does have many arrogant and capable soldiers who are difficult to discipline.
In the past, I was hostile to my colleagues because of "blood theory" and "pink eye".
Later, there were subordinates who disobeyed him because they were "young, young" and "inexperienced".
Thinking of this, Qing Deng secretly laughed at himself:
——Incompatible colleagues and domineering subordinates... What a "harmonious" officialdom environment!
At this time, a rapid shout suddenly burst out from behind Qingdeng:
"Tachibana-sama! Tachibana-sama!"
Qingdeng turned around and saw a thief-turned-official dressed in black, riding a horse and hurried over.
"Tachibana-sama! Kurosawa-sama and Okubo-sama are summoned! Please return to the government office as soon as possible!"
"Summons?" Qingdeng raised his eyebrows, "Okay, I understand."
I originally planned to conduct a thorough inspection of the Third Division's station next time.
Now it seems that this plan can only be shelved for the time being.
He suddenly called him back in a hurry... I don't know if something urgent happened, but it was always right to obey the order and immediately rush back to the government office where the thieves had been converted.
Qingdeng told his subordinates, "Let's all disperse," and left in a hurry.
Not long after, Qingdeng turned back to the government office where the thieves had left less than two hours ago, and returned to the spacious meeting hall.
Aoto glanced at the hall - the hall was now empty, with no other division captains in sight, only Kurosawa Atsushi and Okubo Tadashi sitting side by side on the main seat at the north end.
"Oh! Mr. Orange, you're here."
Kurosawa Atsushi placed a volume of eucalyptus in front of his knees and pushed it in the direction of Aomori.
"Here comes the mission!"
"According to reliable information from spies, there is a group of remnants of the anti-barbarian group lurking in a certain Japanese confectionery shop in Cheng Town."
"It's a long night and a lot of dreams. If we don't act quickly, these bastards of traitors might find their stronghold exposed and move their personnel and supplies elsewhere."
"Therefore, Okubo and I decided to launch an operation tonight! Send a large force to wipe out the remnants of the anti-barbarian group in one fell swoop!"
"Ji Jun, this operation is a good opportunity for you to accumulate experience in leading a team."
"So you and your third division must also participate in tonight's operation!"
Qingdeng raised his eyebrows vigorously.
Send troops to exterminate the remnants of the anti-barbarian group? Faced with such a large-scale task just after taking office?
After more than 3 months, I once again interacted with the anti-barbarian group...and it was the first day of the Huo Fu Thieves' new job.
I am so destined to be with the group of rebels, right?!
*******
*******
Suddenly I discovered: Qingteng is now in charge of 60 soldiers. In modern times, he is almost an officer at the level of company commander. His military rank is roughly second lieutenant or lieutenant - looking at it this way, do you think Qingteng's current official position is not too small?
