Whenever you go to a place, look for people from Yangcheng first.
If you have the skills, take them with you immediately and train them personally.
If you don't have the ability, give me money and gifts, give a corps leader or a senior officer a false position, and let them become my eyes and ears at the grassroots level.
Those who make mistakes will be severely punished in public and comforted in private.
Those who have meritorious service should be rewarded with great fanfare. After the reward is over, find an opportunity to talk alone.
For those of the right age who are unmarried, I will personally act as matchmaker for them. Today this sister marries that one, and tomorrow that one marries this cousin, they do it three times, and the entire circle of Yangcheng fellow villagers become relatives.
Wu Guang once joked with me: "Brother She, I don't think you are a rebel, but more like a matchmaker."
I smiled and said nothing.
What happened to matchmaking?
In this era, in-laws are the strongest alliances. Any blood-based alliance or kowtow to the leader are not as strong as two families joining one family.
When this group of people all get married, have children, have common interests, and have common concerns, they will become my, Chen She's, true "Yangcheng Disciple Soldiers."
Until then——
"He can speak Yangcheng dialect and has an official sword on his waist."
"When I made a mistake, King Chen beat me and scolded me. That was for my own good."
"When others bully me, King Chen is the first to stand up for me."
Who can break up this kind of team?
As for those nobles from the Six Nations? Those princes and generals who claim to have noble blood?
When my soldiers become more mature, we will settle the score slowly.
After all——
Princes, generals and prime ministers, would you rather have the seed?
