Additionally, one person was appointed as the Deputy Commander of the Xuanwu Guard, specifically Bai Mosheng, whom Chen Jie liked very much and was the former strategist of Guild Cao.
Chen Jie took the position of Commander, while Bai Mosheng was responsible for handling daily affairs.
Moreover, Chen Jie promoted a series of Hundred Households commanders, more than half of whom were former disciples of the Fishing Guild, along with some capable members of the City Defense Army.
This completely transformed the previously weak state of the City Defense Army.
Furthermore, to ensure that the City Defense Army, now known as the Xuanwu Guard, was battle-ready, Chen Jie implemented modernized military training.
This modernized military training included exercises such as standing at attention, standing at ease, and marching in step.
These exercises do not directly increase a soldier's combat effectiveness, but they do train the soldiers' obedience and teamwork skills.
