There are only 20,000 people left in the Jin Yi Guard, and the rest will all be incorporated into the Eagle Guard!"
"His Royal Highness, as Jin Yiwei, we have the responsibility to protect the imperial power. This is our honor. You cannot deprive us of our status as Jin Yiwei!"
"Your Highness, we know we were wrong. We will definitely obey your orders from now on. We will do whatever you want us to do!"
"Your Highness, please forgive us this time!"
…
The Jin Yiwei begged for mercy one after another. In their eyes, this newly formed Eagle Guard was not as noble as the Jin Yiwei.
Moreover, if Nian Feng of the Eagle Guards left the Jinyi Guards, he still didn't know what would happen. Lin Fan looked at the nervous look of these people and couldn't help but feel a little angry in his eyes.
I really have raised a bunch of lazy people!
Sure enough, three times the annual salary can indeed raise integrity, but it is very difficult to raise elites.
"Haha! What?
Is staying in Jinyiwei that good?
Have you forgotten that if you stay among the Jinyi Guards, you must obey me if you want to kill or behead me!"
"If you stay among the Jin Yiwei, you must unswervingly complete the Jin Yiwei's mission without making any mistakes. Even if you know you are going to die, you must still do it!"
Lin Fan said with a sneer.
ah!
When Lin Fan finished speaking, almost all the Jin Yiwei who had been begging for mercy just now looked embarrassed. They only thought about the Jin Yiwei's nobility and three times the age, but never thought about the dangers and responsibilities of the Jin Yiwei.
Today, Lin Fan directly pointed out that these people hesitated. Lin Fan could not help but feel even more disappointed with these people. It would be difficult for the Ming Dynasty to have such a royal guard for a long time!
Thinking of this, Lin Fan said again: "I will test you later. Those who can stay in the Jinyi Guards will continue to enjoy three times the annual salary!"
"However, I also want to tell you that the Jin Yiwei must undergo very rigorous training every day. Even if there is no rebellion in the Ming Dynasty, the Jin Yiwei will go out for actual combat every month, and the targets of the actual combat will naturally be those bandits and bandits!
"
"If you can't do this, quit as soon as possible and don't take the test!"
Lin Fan thought about the late Ming Dynasty, when bandits were everywhere. During the Jiajing Emperor's period, the bandits almost reached the capital, but the number of bandits was only over 3,000.
The reason is that the bandits are all desperadoes, and most of the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are corrupt, greedy for life and afraid of death. Even if there are 100,000 such people, they may not be able to defeat 3,000 desperadoes.
In order to eliminate the trouble of bandits, Lin Fan planned to regularly send Jin Yiwei to encircle and suppress the mountain bandits in the Ming Dynasty. Once the bandits were wiped out, he would just keep an eye on the bandits.
hey-hey!
After I signed in and obtained the construction blueprints for the large ship, once it was built, I had to transport a large number of soldiers to the nest of the bandits and destroy them all.
"This... Your Highness, what if we fail the test and join the Eagle Guard?"
A Jin Yiwei asked aloud.
"That's a good question! Don't think that the Eagle Guards are inferior to the Imperial Guards. Once you join the Eagle Guards, you will receive more rigorous training, such as fighting, rock climbing, endurance, etc."
"In the future, the Eagle Guards will even become an even more important team than the Jinyi Guards. However, this also requires your own efforts to achieve it!"
"At the same time, considering that some people only want to get something for nothing, the Eagle Guard will have 20,000 people left in the end, and the rest will still face elimination!"
"However, even if you are eliminated by the Eagle Guards, the imperial court will still support you, but this year you only have five taels of silver. Five taels of silver is actually quite a lot, at least twice as much as the servants in the Yamen!
"
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
The Jin Yiwei regularly suppresses bandits, while the Eagle Guard is responsible for keeping an eye on the martial arts sect and helping them to reform the martial arts sect. As for those who are eliminated again, they can only go to work on the farm!
That’s right!
This was because Lin Fan had been responsible for collecting the taxes of the Ming Dynasty in the past two years, and Lin Fan had already made plans to nationalize a large amount of land while taking advantage of the tax collection period.
Individual scattered pieces of land are distributed to the people who have no land. If the land is concentrated in a large area, these retired Jinyiwei will do it.
This has many advantages. These people usually work on the land, but if there is another big war in the Ming Dynasty, they can be transferred back at any time to fight the enemy.
Moreover, Lin Fan also considered that these people would be dissatisfied because they were transferred from the Jinyi Guards and joined the farm, so he lowered their annual salary to five taels of silver.
After waiting for a period of time, you can find any reason and give them a reward of one tael of silver every year. These people will definitely be grateful to you. This is human nature.
"This! Your Royal Highness, we just want to be a royal guard!"
"Your Highness, please give us a chance!"
…
Jin Yiwei started to panic.
Lin Fan said in a deep voice: "The opportunity is something you have to fight for. All of you have formed your teams. This test is very simple, just run!"
"You have received this kind of training before. You have to run as hard as you can today. Those who can't run will be eliminated. The twenty thousand people who can reach the end will be the Jin Yiwei!"
What!
Hearing what Lin Fan said about the test, the Jin Yiwei present were dumbfounded. They thought it was a difficult task, but they didn't expect it to be as simple as running.
For a time, the solemn look on everyone's faces decreased a lot.
Lin Fan looked at the relaxed expressions of these people and couldn't help but smile. These people have definitely never experienced severe beatings from society and have no idea how powerful this test is!
Running, running ten kilometers or something is not difficult, but what about running all the time?
Aimlessly, you don't know where you will stop when you run, and you don't know when the people around you will stop.
hehe!
This is not only a test of physical strength, but also a torment of willpower. Those spies bribed by heaven and earth will never be able to withstand such a test.
In other words, the 20,000 people who stayed behind were definitely Jin Yiwei who were loyal to the imperial power. When the time comes, Lin Fan would give these people better benefits and more rigorous training.
As for the remaining people, they naturally joined the Eagle Guard and continued to be trained. Lin Fan said he would keep 20,000 people, but in fact he wanted to keep 50,000 people.
The reason why I say that is to let those spies know that it will be very difficult to stay in the Eagle Guard. If they can be bribed, it proves that they have weak willpower and will retreat in the face of difficulties.
When the time comes, send them all to the farm to farm, and let them be bought off as they wish. Just keep an eye on them and don't let them secretly sell the food.
"let's start!"
Lin Fan said coldly.
boom!
Then, a team of one hundred thousand Jin Yiwei started running. Lin Fan and Zhu Cijiong were riding on horses, watching the Jin Yiwei running with Xuan Jiajun.
