The Jianghuai army was originally the Jiangyang thieves and the grass robbers in the mountains gathered to rob the house and developed to today's scale, as the so-called tiger monkey in the mountains is called the king, after becoming the army, the habits of the bandits have not changed.

I heard that Concubine Yue Niangniang came to inspect, and showed her a few granaries perfunctorily, so she stopped opening the warehouse, under the pretext that other warehouses were being repaired and were inconvenient to open.

Yue'er was very angry and wanted to order them to open a warehouse for inspection, but Zhen Mingku secretly stopped her, and after returning to the palace, Yue'er asked him the reason in confusion.

"Brother Zhen, these people don't let me inspect when they see that they have ghosts in their hearts, why don't you let me order them to be arrested?"

Zhen Ming smiled bitterly: "They cover it up like this, it already shows that there is a big problem with the granary, it is the same whether you check it or not, if you forcibly order the opening of the warehouse, those are their people, is it useful for you to order?" forced them in a hurry, and tied you up on the spot, you are a delicate concubine of the moon, what can you do to fight them? ”

Yue'er thought for a while and asked, "Aren't you there?" ”

"You think I'm invincible Iron King Kong, huh? It's just a dozen people, maybe I can protect you, but if it's hundreds or thousands of people, I can't even protect myself, how can I take care of you. ”

Yue'er was obviously amused by the word "Invincible Iron King Kong", giggled for a while, and then started to worry again, "What then?" Do you just let them do whatever they want, the granary is empty, and the people of Jianghuai are still the victims, and their taxes are heavy enough. ”

Zhen Ming smiled bitterly: "It's useless to be anxious, your biggest advantage is your justifiable status as a grain governor." What you lack is a strength that can absolutely overwhelm these ruffians. ”

Yue'er's eyes lit up and she walked over to him. Hooked his arm and looked up at him, "Brother Zhen, have you thought of any way?" ”

"There is a way, but I need your status as a concubine."

"You say, as long as I can do it, I will depend on you."

……

The next day. In the city of Hefei, a notice was posted that read, "Concubine Yue Niangniang recruits talents." Set up a guard team, recruit 300 guards in the form of a ring competition, and once hired. Enjoy the treatment of general rank. With an annual salary of 1,000 taels of silver, it is directly controlled by Concubine Yue, not subject to anyone's jurisdiction, and does not need to obey the orders of anyone except Concubine Yue. ”

The ring is located outside the south gate of the Hefei Palace.

The temptation of an annual salary of 1,000 taels of silver is huge, and there is an endless stream of martial artists who come to apply, and Zhen Mingku personally presided over it, and made a detailed backup of the information of all qualified candidates, including the family members of the hired people. The address, as well as the past, are well documented.

The first is to determine whether they are likely to be candidates with ulterior motives. The second is to deter these guards, once it is found that these guards have bad intentions, or do something disloyal to their duties, the monk can not escape from the temple.

After screening according to their qualifications, the three hundred people were divided into three ranks: upper, middle, and lower.

Fifty high-class guards, these people are basically orphans, young people under the age of eighteen, they are malleable, and they can sacrifice their lives for Yue'er, but this requires training and thorough brainwashing and indoctrination.

There are 100 medium guards, about twenty-five years old, who already have a certain amount of life experience, no worries, and a certain amount of risk, but their combat ability is the strongest, and if they are given a good reward, they can make them sell their lives, but they can't have direct contact with Yue'er, and the threat to Yue'er will not be too great, but they can be used by Yue'er, and they are controlled by the superior guards.

There are one hundred and fifty inferior guards, all of whom are about thirty years old, have rich life experience, have relatively flexible minds, and will not have too much loyalty to a certain person or something, but because of the burden of the family, they are not very able to refuse the temptation of money, and can go all out for the sake of money and family.

Three hundred people formed fifty squads, each team of six people, Zhen Mingku personally trained fifty of the top guards among them, taught them assassination skills and various guard knowledge, and instilled loyalty and faith in them, so that they became Yue'er's most loyal team.

Every day after Zhen Ming's hard training for them with the highest intensity, Yue'er will personally bring some food to treat them, sit with them to talk and laugh, intimate, treat them like their own brothers, they have no relatives, after being hired as guards, they have been living in the guard dormitory of the palace, and get along with Yue'er day and night, Yue'er personally promoted them to the captain of the guards, the deputy head of the guards, etc., and took good care of them.

Zhen Mingku's requirements for them are extremely strict, and he is ruthless, and his toughness also gives them a trace of awe, Zhen Mingku's bare-handed challenge to the strength of ten of them has established an invincible image in their hearts, and his every word is engraved in their hearts like a brand.

"Concubine Yue Niangniang is my savior, she is the person I have to protect at the cost of my life, you are my most trusted subordinates, and I am also the apprentice I teach with all my might, my faith is your faith, I hope you remember that she is our food and clothing parents, she is our goddess, who dares to offend him easily, no matter who it is, we will give the most cruel response at the cost of blood!"

Their blood, their simplicity, and their momentum are all necessary qualities for the guards that Zhen Ming needs to suffer.

In just one month, Zhen Mingku has established a young escort team that can fight one against ten.

Seeing that they gradually gained momentum in Zhen Mingku's training, and seeing that her eyes were full of a vigorous and upward vitality and confidence, she suddenly understood what Zhen Mingku had said to her.

"Your current situation is only a nominal overseer, and the people under you will not obey your command, and you can't command them, why? Because you can neither give them benefits nor pose a threat to their interests. ”

"Once people's interests are threatened, they will become surprisingly brave, even crazy, they will not hesitate to defend their interests in the same way, the so-called people die for money, birds die for food, this is human nature, you can't eradicate nature, but you can make it work for you."

She grew up in a disciplined environment since she was a child, and occasionally came into contact with this bold and rebellious way of thinking that broke through the bottom line of morality, just like dry wood meets fire, her curiosity was out of control, and she blinked her beautiful eyes that were as bright as stars, "Then how can I use it?" ”

"Remember, the purpose of all your measures and means is to hold the lifeblood of their interests in your hands, and your orders will have a fundamental effect on them."

"But didn't you just say that they would fight with me?"

Thinking of the first time she went to inspect the granary, the eyes of those supervisors who were on full alert and ready to do anything at any time, she trembled in her heart, not to mention holding their lifeblood in her hands, as long as her own life was not in their hands, she felt extremely lucky, after all, she was just a concubine of Du Fuwei, just like a little fox with a fake tiger, relying on Du Fuwei's tiger power, so that these jackals did not tear her to pieces.

"So you need to have your own armed forces, a violent army that is absolutely loyal to you, with nominal orthodoxy, overwhelming armed forces, you have the possibility of taking their lifeblood and taking them into your own hands."

Zhen Ming said nonchalantly, his eyes full of firmness and confidence, as if these were his personal experiences.

Yue'er listened fascinated, looking at him as if she was looking at an invincible god of war, and firmly believed that he would bring her the dawn of victory.

Zhen Mingku didn't notice her eyes, and continued to instill his logic for her: "The process of seizing the interests of others will inevitably be met with resistance and resistance, which is also the beginning of all wars in history, you sit in this position, there is no way out, weak, afraid of blood, and kindness will only make you lose and become a laughing stock in the eyes of others, only by overwhelming the other party strongly, you will have the opportunity to remove all obstacles, do what you want to do, and become the kind of person you want to be......"

Yue'er found that the expression on Zhen Mingku's face had changed, becoming a little trance, a little gentle, and quite tender.

It seems that he is also trying to collect some memories and experiences in the depths of his mind: "The way to keep them loyal is very simple, let them be in important positions, but there is no profit to be made, high salaries and incorruptible pensions, cut off their power and interests, their source of interests, there can only be one, that is you, without you, they even have a problem to survive, this is the team you rely on to survive." ”

He taught her to be kind to them and build the image of their parents in their hearts.

She gradually realized the horror of Zhen Ming's suffering, this man must have experienced some unforgettable betrayal, so he is so good at managing the protective vigilance around him.

Although he can't remember anything because of his head injury, his experience has given him an instinctive survival skill to take the initiative and gain the upper hand in this world of the jungle.

The bizarre weapons and crossbows, climbing hooks, and other equipment he had made were fitted into the team of fifty, and she was directly involved in their escort exercises.

Attacked by two hundred and fifty medium and superior guards, she managed to escape under the protection of fifty superior guards, and this kind of acting gave her a kind of pleasure that she had never had before, and in the exercise, she established a relationship with these fifty guards who spent time with her day and night.

Then, without Zhen Mingku's appearance, she took these fifty murderous guards to the granary of Hefei City again, and asked the supervisor of the granary to open the warehouse to inspect the grain, but the excuse of those supervisors to shirk was only half of the word, and her guards cut off their heads with lightning speed.
