Chu Lingguang wanted to straighten out military discipline, build a powerful army, and ensure the safety of the waters around Black Bear Island. He had no experience in this, but fortunately, he had Eunuch Liu to guide him.
Having spent many years deep within the palace, the old eunuch was worldly and knowledgeable. He passed on all his methods for managing the Imperial City's Imperial Guard to Chu Lingguang, telling him he could ask about anything he didn't understand.
With the old eunuch's help, Chu Lingguang had already established his authority.
The next day, at the crack of dawn, the entire army had already assembled outside the city. The patrol ships were ready and waiting.
The island's residents thought their new Captain, Lord Chu, was leading his troops out to sea to wipe out the pirates. They all ran out to watch, their faces filled with anticipation.
