Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Yang Zhi, for openly damaging a chair in the Hall of Righteousness, is hereby fined half a month's salary."

Just as Yang Zhi was expressing his loyalty, causing everyone in the Hall of Righteousness to lament the tragic fate of the Yang family, Pei Xuan suddenly came up with a punishment, instantly making the atmosphere in the hall more amusing.

"Hahahaha! Chief Pei, you did this on purpose, didn't you!"

"Sir, I'll pay for it for you!"

"Don't worry, brothers, each of you will contribute one or two taels, so you can buy a few more chairs!"

Look, what was supposed to be a nice atmosphere has now completely disappeared.

Yang Zhi was also amused. He had just felt a bit tragic, wishing he could risk his life to prove the Yang family's capabilities to others, but Pei Xuan's interruption had ruined his mood.

Ren Yuan secretly gave Pei Xuan a thumbs up. Who said that an iron-faced man is heartless? He didn't believe that Pei Xuan's words just now were unintentional. He must have seen that Yang Zhi was too excited, so he said it on purpose.

"Alright, that's settled then. Starting today, each battalion must complete its expansion plan within ten days. By the way, where is Brother Zongwang?"

Ren Yuan suddenly remembered something.

"Brother, I'm here."

Tao Zongwang stood up, looking bewildered. Why was his brother calling him again?

"Brother, your engineering battalion, although not a combat battalion, has been expanded to a regiment this time! And your engineering battalion is now at full strength! 2000 men! You've also been promoted to commander!"

What?

Tao Zongwang was a little stunned, and then two lines of hot tears welled up in his eyes!

My non-combat battalion was expanded into a full-strength regiment first?

Brother, you, you're so good to me!

"Haha, congratulations, Brother Zongwang!"

"That's right, Brother Zongwang, you're now on the same level as Commander Qin, haha!"

"Get out, get out! Don't mention those weak Song officials again. I am now Commander Qin of Liangshan. Do you all understand?"

Qin Ming also joked with everyone.

But everyone knows that Tao Zongwang was worth it, because although he was just a farmer, he worked diligently and conscientiously. After he went up the mountain, he built all kinds of fortifications, houses, bridges, roads and so on. They did all the dirty and hard work.

Everyone is now able to live in sturdy and warm houses on the mountain, without having to endure the elements, all thanks to them!

Now they're going to attack Jeju Island again. People will definitely need to live on Jeju Island in the future, so the engineering battalion has no choice but to expand.

Ren Yuan often told his brothers that laborers are the most beautiful people, and Tao Zongwang's engineering battalion is the most beautiful laborer in Liangshan!

Therefore, everyone was convinced that Tao Zongwang was the commander of the first fully-equipped regiment! And they were genuinely happy for him!

"Sanniang."

Ren Yuan then called out Hu Sanniang's name.

"Little sister is here."

After Hu Sanniang joined Liangshan, she was temporarily without a position. However, she usually spent time with Hua Yun and Pang Qiuxia. Ren Yuan did not know what she thought of Liangshan now.

"You are a female general of Liangshan, but you don't have a specific position yet. What are your thoughts on this?"

"It's already a great honor for my little sister to be able to join Liangshan. As for the specific arrangements, I'll leave it to you, brother."

Dressed in military attire, Hu Sanniang was full of heroic spirit, truly displaying the demeanor of a woman who was no less capable than men.

This put Ren Yuan in a bit of a dilemma. Hu Sanniang's martial arts skills weren't good enough to make her a commander, but if she were to be a deputy commander, it seemed there wasn't any battalion that would be suitable for her.

"Brother, I have an idea."

Just then, Xiao Jiahui stepped forward.

"Strategist, tell me your thoughts."

Ren Yuan looked at Xiao Jiahui, wanting to know what he wanted to say.

“Since there is a story of Hua Mulan in ancient times, then we Liangshan can also have female generals. Currently, there are three female generals on the mountain: Hua Yun, Pang Qiuxia, and Hu Sanniang. The first two are currently deputy generals of the battle group. I personally suggest that they be transferred out of their original battle groups and form a female battle group together with Hu Sanniang.”

"This battle group doesn't need too many people, just two battalions will do. We'll recruit women exclusively. All three of them will still be deputy commanders. Their duties... will be to protect and assist Doctor An's Rejuvenation Battalion. After all, Doctor An and his men need meticulous people, and women are meticulous, which is perfect for them. Or we could simply merge their two battalions with Doctor An's Rejuvenation Battalion, which would also be a mixed regiment after the expansion."

Xiao Jiahui truly lived up to her reputation for being quick-witted; she immediately came up with a solution.

Moreover, this method is particularly groundbreaking.

Ren Yuan was astonished. How could Xiao Jiasui's mind be so advanced that he could think of field hospitals in the future? He truly deserves to be called the number one strategist of Liangshan!

That's fine, at least I don't have to bring it up myself.

"Hmm, does Strategist Xiao mean to have the female soldiers take care of and protect the wounded? Doctor An, what do you think?"

Wen Huanzhang and the others also realized what was happening. While admiring Xiao Jiahui, they couldn't help but ask An Daoquan.

After all, there is no equality between men and women in this era, and An Daoquan and his colleagues practice medicine, so it's unknown whether there are any taboos about passing on knowledge only to men.

“Military Advisor Xiao is very thoughtful. I have no problem. A doctor doesn’t distinguish between men and women.”

An Daoquan stood up. He had always felt that it wasn't good for the Huichun Camp to be all men, since tasks like caring for or cleaning wounds did require more meticulous people. Moreover, traditional Chinese medicine emphasizes the balance of Yin and Yang, and there were indeed times when women were needed.

"I think this is a good idea. What do you three think?"

Ren Yuan asked the three women.

"I have no objection," Hu Sanniang nodded.

"I'm fine with anything," Hua Yun said without any objection.

“I have no objection either.” Pang Qiuxia also did not object.

"Brother, you transferred Qiuxia away, so I don't have a deputy general anymore."

But Pang Wanchun, who dotes on his sister, suddenly stepped forward and cried out, "Brother, you have to accompany me as a deputy general!"

"Okay, I've got it. I'll compensate you when it's appropriate."

Ren Yuan waved to Pang Wanchun, indicating that he shouldn't worry, as a deputy general position would definitely be available in the future.

"Old Pang, you're really something, you actually insisted on being a deputy general."

"Exactly, that's right, they really have a thick skin."

"Brother, you must remember that I don't have a deputy general either!"

……

For a moment, laughter and noise started to rise again in the Hall of Righteousness, but Guanghui coughed twice in time to quiet everyone down.

"Alright, Master, there's no need to be so serious. All the announcements for today have been made. Song Wan, inform the kitchen that we can begin the feast."

Ren Yuan smiled and looked at Song Wan, who stood up confidently.

"We've been ready for a while now, just waiting for the brothers!"

"Alright! Let's begin the feast!"

The group immediately rushed outside in a noisy rush. Pei Xuan couldn't control them at this point, and many of them even came over to pull him away.

"Come on, Chief Pei, you scared me just now. You'll have to drink a whole jug with me today!"

"One jar isn't enough! Is this disrespecting Chief Inspector Pei? At least two jars!"

"What? Chief Pei has a huge capacity for alcohol? Three jars!"

"You're openly trying to force-feed me!"

Pei Xuan gave a wry smile. Of course, he knew his brothers weren't really trying to get him drunk; it was just a friendly gesture. He knew that if he was always impartial and incorruptible, he was bound to get into trouble at the dinner table.

"Brother, say something!"

Pei Xuan had no choice but to seek help from Ren Yuan.

Unexpectedly, Ren Yuan also joined the troublemaking group.

"Chief Pei, I just had a month's salary docked, and I'm heartbroken. No, you have to have another jar with me!"

Pei Xuan: ...
