"I've seen that all the other provinces have a leader, and only the Min Province is leaderless in every realm. Like a plate of scattered sand, your strength cannot be directed in any one direction. I think it's time for us to change this situation!" Song Shijie looked directly into the crowd as he declared, "I, Song Shijie, present my humble self to take on this important task!"
Everyone present understood that this was Song Shijie's intention—to gather their combined strength under his command, forming an alliance.
When that happened, he would be the leader of the alliance and would be able to mobilize the power of the entire Min Province as he wished. Those who submitted to him would prosper, while those who resisted would perish.
This was something that nobody had been able to accomplish thus far, not even the Min Province Agency of Special Affairs.
