As a Commander, Hong Sheng naturally couldn't always stay in the training field with the soldiers, so the five hundred soldiers were divided into five hundred-man teams, each managed by a Hundred Commander; a hundred-man team was further divided into ten ten-man squads, each led by a Squad Leader.
Every Hundred Commander and Squad Leader was personally appointed by Hong Sheng, and he appointed wisely without avoiding friends or family—either they were his confidants or elite soldiers he had already won over.
Even Ruan Yu was made a Squad Leader, under the command of Yang Xiaoshan's hundred-man team.
Hong Sheng held a "round table meeting" for the Hundred Commanders and Squad Leaders, which was essentially just for everyone to get to know each other.
