Chapter 1287 – Violent Organization

“Next, let us discuss the matter of the Martial Management Division.”

This was a topic that involved both the administrative and military spheres and needed both sides to work together.

This topic was started after Java was destroyed. After learning that many Java combat occupation players had chosen to stay, Ouyang Shuo was thinking about how to monitor this group.

Then, it would start from these Java adventure gamemode players to spread to all the adventure gamemode players in the Empire.

Along with the Empire’s territory stabilizing by the day, the focus went from external to internal. Due to their martial arts skills and weapons, the adventure gamemode player group became the biggest order problem of the Empire.

Due to the game environment, prohibiting civilians from holding weapons was impossible.

If they forcefully imposed such a rule, they would only incur the wrath of the people.

As they say, “If you cannot block it, just let it flow.”

The best method was to create an organization to effectively lead this player group. When needed, this organization would monitor the players to lower the risk to a controllable level.

Ouyang Shuo thought back to the Martial Management Division right away.

Before this, as a result of the ‘Robin Hood’ case in Minnan, the Imperial Court decided to monitor the sects and factions of the underworld. Only then did they create the Martial Management Division.

Using the difficulty of Java, Ouyang Shuo was prepared to expand the scope of the Martial Management Division from monitoring just the underworld sects to all weapon wielding martial artists in the Empire.

Due to the strength of the player group, if the Martial Management Division wanted to calm them down, they had to expand. First, they needed to expand the headquarters; then, they would set up branches in all the prefectures to spread its reach across the entire Empire.

Then the organization would become strong.

This could easily make one think back to the Jinyiwei of history.

Hence, the Martial Management Division would go from only a monitoring organization to a powerful organization that monitored and instilled fear.

The expanded Martial Management Division could basically compete with the Shanhai Guards that were in the dark.

The Martial Management Division would have a commander, a deputy, and three protectors. The original commander Lin Yue would be demoted to protector. Lin Yue, who came out of Wulin, was unable to hold down the fort.

Ouyang Shuo decided to choose one of his most trusted generals, Er’Lai, to be the commander. The 2nd Legion General of the Phoenix legion corps, Ran Min, would replace him as the South Asia marshal.

That’s right. Ouyang Shuo wanted to borrow the strength of the military to suppress all the martial artists and establish a strong image for the Martial Management Division in a short amount of time.

Er’Lai was not the only one to be moved. There were also other generals; some were spearmen and some were cavalry kicked out from the army.

These war elites did not have a market on the battlefield, but they would be like a pack of hungry wolves when placed in the Martial Management Division.

For the position of deputy, Ouyang Shuo selected Imperial Palace Guards deputy marshal Blood Romance. As the top adventure gamemode player, he was not willing to be restrained. He preferred the underworld to the military.

This appointment change was something Blood Romance requested.

When he left the Imperial Palace Guards, all the deputy Legion Generals joked that he wanted to unify the underworld and become a Wulin sect leader again.

The goal that he did not achieve in the mercenary guild would be achieved in the Imperial Court.

Blood Romance smiled but did not say anything. He was quite satisfied with his new appointment and was willing to give up his military role for it.

As the past guild leader of the Blood Evil Mercenary Guild and the top adventure gamemode player, him taking up the position of deputy commander would be able to scare and threaten all players.

Similarly, the Martial Management Division would choose a number of elite players from the super guilds to enter it.

With this duo management method, they would ascertain the position of the division.

Furthermore, with the support of Ouyang Shuo and the Imperial Court, there would be no player or organization who would dare to challenge the might of the division. If they dared, they would receive a storm-like beating.

No mercy!

Based on the requirements of the Martial Management Division, all the martial artists in the Empire had to register at the division and its branches.

Apart from registering their personal strength, they also had to register their weapons and give their weapons special markings; it was similar to the gun licenses of modern society.

Based on the law, anyone that wielded an unregistered weapon would be deemed as a rebel, and the Martial Management Division would help the Internal Affairs Court to punish the offender.

This helped to set up a management system for the weapons of the civilian world.

Of course, Ouyang Shuo employed both hard and soft methods. While the Martial Management Division punished those who went against the law, it provided a lot of benefits for those who followed it.

First, the various local divisions would be seen as a sparring and interaction platform for martial artists.

Be it skill sharing or weapons trading, martial artists often lacked trust in one another. If the division acted as the middle man, there would naturally be no problems.

Even to say that the Imperial Court would take out some weapons to sell to them.

Secondly, they would hold competitions and promote the winners.

This idea was suggested by Blood Romance. The division would hold a Wulin Competition every year to choose stellar martial artists such as the strongest swordsman, assassin, or the top sect and give them rewards.

Thirdly, managing conflicts.

When martial artists had conflicts, they would often meet through the blade. If things went wrong, casualties would occur, and this would result in a huge loss. The division could act as the conflict settlement organization to either mediate or use competitions to solve the conflict.

The division could even chair fights between sects.

This would also help to protect the rights of the weaker people.

The above welfare only included the initial ideas of the division. If this organization continued to run, there would be more and better welfare.

In Ouyang Shuo’s words, “The Martial Management Division is both a monitoring organization and a service organization. I hope that the latter responsibility will become more important.”

This also meant that the martial artists would basically be tamed by the Imperial Court.

…

These four topics lasted for close to a day before coming to an end.

The next day, Ouyang Shuo summoned the Cabinet to discuss the establishment of some organizations for the Imperial Court.

First, the newspaper.

Along with industrialization pushing forward, the newspaper as a medium became more and more important and made it easier to walk into the houses of the people.

A day ago, the Imperial Court had decided to rename the Shanhai Daily News to the Empire Daily News to become the first big paper of the Empire.

Bai Xiaosheng was appointed as the head of the news organization.

Without the free land of the imperial city, Bai Xiaosheng’s newspaper organization had to listen to the Empire. If Ouyang Shuo did not say anything, Bai Xiaosheng would lose his job.

The chance to manage the Empire Daily News was a huge honor to Bai Xiaosheng. After all, apart from announcing news, the newspaper also had the responsibility of leading discussions. It was the tongue of the Empire.

Apart from that, the Empire would also set up other papers like the Great Xia Military Report, Life Magazine, Philosophers, and Industrialization Report.

At the same time, the Imperial Court allowed the provincial offices to establish local papers. Examples included the Nanjiang Governor-General House, which was prepared to make the Nanjiang Daily Paper, and the Africa Governor-General House, which was preparing for the Africa Weekly.

This would greatly add to the causal life of the people.

“To be able to learn of the world without stepping out of the house.” Wouldn’t be Zhuge Liang’s specialty? After this, every civilian of Great Xia would be able to do that.

Due to the increase in papers, Ouyang Shuo decided to establish the News Publishing Department to manage the news publishing element as well as monitor the rise of new news publishing organizations to lead and standardize them.

Apart from that, to develop the sports industry of the Empire, Ouyang Shuo established the Sports Department to develop things like athletics, wrestling, and marathons.

Sports like polo, which had Chinese culture, were the focus.

The Sports Department would naturally be independent of the four courts.

As such, outside of the four courts, the Cabinet had established the Industrialization Department, Great Xia Bank, Transport Department, Asset Management Department, News Publishing Department, and Sports Department.

This was both to fulfill the needs of the Empire and to reduce the power of the four courts.

After the establishment of the Sports Department, their main goal would be to prepare the first sports event of the Empire. They would aim to start sports in the Empire and let it show off its shine.

To give them time to prepare, the empire Olympics would be held in the 11th month.

Establishing the News Publishing Department and Sports Department signaled Great Xia’s movement away from being a feudal dynasty; it was developing with the times and not blocking itself up.

The influence of the industrial revolution on the Empire reach all industries and every aspect.

Since this was something that could not be stopped, Ouyang Shuo was going to try and instead welcome the trends and take the initiative to learn from them.

He wanted to be a person who kept up with the trends and was at the head of all of them.
