After leaving Meng Tian, Lin Ze once again summoned his direct subordinates.
This time, less than a quarter of an hour after the order was issued, everyone, including Ai Hui, arrived at Lin Ze's command room to listen to the order.
Lin Ze looked at everyone standing in front of him with their heads slightly lowered, thinking that his efforts to scare the monkeys were not in vain, and everyone became more honest.
Then he said with a smile: "First of all, congratulations to everyone for making the right choice and being able to stand here to meet me."
As he spoke, a strong murderous aura was evident.
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and they felt inexplicably like they were surviving a disaster.
Fortunately, I was careful in my words and deeds and did not offend the new commander, otherwise I would be the unlucky one.
Ai Hui, especially that person, cried out in his heart that he was lucky. Fortunately, he suddenly came to his senses and rushed over in time to meet the new commander. Otherwise, one more person would have had his head chopped off.
This new commander looked young and harmless, but he didn't expect that he turned out to be a ruthless character.
Even though he had experienced ups and downs in the Black Guard for more than 20 years, he had never seen such a tough boss. His subordinates would find excuses to kill people if they were not obedient.
Aren't they usually suppressed? This commander doesn't play according to the routine. I'm afraid I have to be more careful in the future. After all, I was late this time and might have been resented.
Wu Fan, on the other hand, stood there tall and straight, full of excitement. He was betting on the right thing this time. As long as he followed the footsteps of the commander, he would definitely be able to make further progress.
Lin Ze did not speculate on the thoughts of his men, and said slowly: "Wucheng did not obey the order and tried to resist arrest. He really deserves to die. However, the position of the officer under me cannot remain empty like this. He must find it.
Only one person can take over."
As soon as these words came out, the breathing of all ten Qianhu immediately became rapid. They looked at Lin Ze closely and listened carefully to what Lin Ze was going to say next.
Lin Ze naturally did not disappoint them, and said in a difficult tone: "There is only one position for the Qianshi, but there are ten of the thousands of households here. Who should I give it to?"
Ten Thousand Households almost couldn't help shouting: "Sir, choose me, choose me!"
Lin Ze thought for a while and said: "I have always been accustomed to reward those who have merit and punish those who have made mistakes. Naturally, this position of official service must be reserved for ministers who have made merit. I have just arrived, and I don't know who has made merit and who has made mistakes.
, let’s settle it like this
In the next month, among the ten thousand households among you, whoever performs best and satisfies me the most, this position will belong to him, what do you think?"
Zhang Qianhu and others all said in unison: "Your Excellency is wise."
Lin Ze nodded: "Well, by the way, Wu Baihu performed well before. When Qianhu is promoted to Qianshi, you can fill the vacant Qianhu position."
Wu Fan was happy when he heard this. He didn't expect that he would be promoted so quickly. He immediately replied: "Thank you for your appreciation, sir. If you have orders, my subordinates will go through fire and water for you without hesitation."
Lin Ze smiled: "As long as you serve me faithfully, I will not treat you badly."
Then his smile faded and his face was stern: "Similarly, if someone goes against the grain and cheats, don't blame me for being rude."
The group of people headed by Ai Hui felt a shiver all over after hearing this, and immediately saluted and said: "Please rest assured, sir, my subordinates will do their duty with all their heart."
Lin Ze waved his hand and said: "Okay, Wu Fan will stay, and everyone else can go down and do their work, especially the ten thousand households. Please do your duty with all your heart. I am watching you."
Ai Hui and others resigned as promised.
After the others left, Wu Fan saluted Lin Ze and said, "What are your orders, sir?"
Lin Ze directly ordered: "Go to the Lin Mansion you visited yesterday, find a man named Chen Ping, and ask him to come and see me."
Wu Fan cupped his hands and said, "Yes, sir, do you have anything else to explain?"
Lin Ze thought for a while and said: "You have been in the Black Guards for many years. Are there any people you are familiar with who have outstanding talents but have not been reused? If so, please recommend them to me."
When Wu Fan heard this, he immediately replied: "I know a few of them. I will prepare a list later and send it to your Excellency for review."
Lin Ze nodded: "Well, let's send the list up first." Then he waved his hand: "First go and find Chen Ping for me."
Wu Fan complied and retreated.
…
Half an hour later, Wu Fan took Chen Ping to the command room where Lin Ze was.
When Chen Ping saw Lin Ze, he immediately saluted Lin Ze and said, "Uncle Master called me here urgently. What do you want to tell me?"
When Wu Fan heard this from the side, he immediately took a deep look at Chen Ping. This turned out to be your master's nephew, and he seemed to be his confidant. He had to find an opportunity to make a good relationship with him.
"Please step back first." Lin Ze directly waved Wu Fan to step aside first, and then said to Chen Ping: "How are you preparing for the establishment of the Jin Yiwei?"
Chen Ping replied: "Replying to Uncle Master, what you told me has been basically arranged. Commander Han, a thousand smart soldiers have been selected and can be transferred at any time to obey orders. The Wei family and the Lu family are responsible for searching for two thousand
Young man, only a small part of it has been searched so far, and it is expected to take at least three months to complete."
Lin Ze nodded: "Since we have enough manpower for the time being, you can start building the Jinyiwei stronghold and intelligence system in the east and west cities of Chang'an City. It just so happens that I have just subdued a commanding black guard who can help you."
Chen Ping couldn't help but feel surprised when he heard this and asked: "Uncle Master, did he conquer all his subordinates so quickly?"
Lin Ze directly told him about killing a chicken to scare the monkeys.
After hearing this, Chen Ping said with a wry smile: "Uncle Master's method is simple and crude, and it works so quickly. However, Uncle Master's method can only make his subordinates fear him for a while, but it may not win people's hearts for a long time."
Lin Ze asked back: "As long as it's useful, forget about people's hearts. Why should I win their hearts and minds? For me, it's enough for them to be obedient. I have no control over what they think."
"Taking a step back, even if I try my best, I still can't bring them into my confidant. You must know that the black-clothed guards will always be His Majesty's black-clothed guards, and the object of loyalty can only be His Majesty. The royal guards are our own.
."
Chen Ping was stunned when he heard this. No wonder his uncle would do this. Is it certain that people's hearts will be hard to follow?
Lin Ze then discussed some details with Chen Ping. Currently, Lin Ze plans to let Chen Ping refer to the layout of the Black Guards and set up the Jin Yiwei.
Use Heiyiwei's resources to build the architecture first, and then slowly optimize it based on your own ideas.
After all, the system of the Black Guards is quite complete, and their position in Da Qin is extremely important, which in itself represents something extraordinary.
Chen Ping stayed until nearly noon before leaving to prepare for the establishment of Jin Yiwei.
