Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

After Jing Qing left, Li Chengming looked at his sister and asked, "How about we arrange for him to work under you?"

"Place him under my command?" Li Yinyin refused. "Although he is indeed handsome, all the Imperial Guards under my command are girls, and there is no place for him. So, you should arrange it yourself, brother."

Li Chengming had more questions he wanted to ask, but he opened his mouth and didn't say them. Instead, he picked up the memorials again and began to review them.

Li Yinyin didn't inquire about Jing Qing's arrangements, but instead focused on cleaning up the Golden Crow Guard.

In the end, out of more than two thousand people, nearly a hundred with questionable backgrounds were identified.

These individuals, backed by powerful figures, had defeated many talented individuals to be selected and underwent extensive training, incurring the resources allocated to the Golden Crow Guard. Li Yinyin felt it was a waste to simply kick them out; she also deeply regretted it.

Besides, if these people are expelled, when recruiting new people later, there's no guarantee that no more will sneak in, or even that those who were originally without a master won't be bribed. In that case, should we just expel them all or render them useless?

The amount of money lost is enormous.

Fortunately, Li Yinyin did not cause too much of a commotion when investigating these information. Now that the people have been identified, she simply organized them into a new team to be used as a vanguard force.

In the future, if any dangerous situation arises, let these disloyal ones go first, so that the loyal Golden Crow Guards will not be lost.

When Li Yinyin proposed splitting off a vanguard battalion from Jinwuwei, no one objected. This was because the selected individuals were physically fit and trained diligently. Aside from the veteran Jinwuwei members who had participated in the background checks and knew the situation well, many new recruits were quite envious of their successful selection and becoming elite members.

Those who successfully entered the elite unit were pleasantly surprised, seeing it as a sign that their hard work had earned them trust. Although none of the original two hundred members were in the elite unit, those two hundred had now mostly become management, so they had no doubts.

Even the few who realized they were being investigated assumed it was a necessary procedure for entering the elite unit, and while they breathed a sigh of relief, they no longer took it to heart.

More than a month later, Xiao Fu and the others returned to Li Yinyin's side to protect her, and the jade in Li Yinyin's hands was nearing completion.

She rubbed her slightly sore neck and asked, "How is the situation at the Sharp Knife Battalion?"

Upon hearing the question, Xiao Fu's face showed a strange expression: "It couldn't be better, Your Highness. Setting up the Sharp Knife Battalion was the most correct decision you could have made."

Li Yinyin paused, then looked at her with interest: "What do you mean?"

“These women come from different families, and they are often quite wary of each other in order to avoid revealing their identities. In order to gain more trust, they compete with each other in training performance. If they are given a little more time, the elite troops will probably be full of elite soldiers.”

Unlike Xiao Fu's praise, these people's efforts were within Li Yinyin's expectations. If their grades weren't outstanding, how could they access more information and gain her trust?

The spy, who only knew that her identity was questionable, naturally dared not relax when everyone around her was caught up in the situation, and would only work harder. But as she worked harder, others were also stirred up, and of course, they became more and more frantic.

"That's good," Li Yinyin said with a smile. "Remember to make sure the doctors are properly arranged, and don't let them get injured from overtraining."

"In addition, arrange for more eloquent teachers to give them cultural lessons, especially to promote the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, and to talk about the benefits that the establishment of our Ming Dynasty has brought to the people. If you have any policies that are beneficial to the country and the people, please remember to tell them about them as well."

"After they finish learning, we'll make them memorize everything again. When it comes to the assessment, we'll also include political ideology in the assessment scope as a compulsory subject. If they fail, we'll scare them by saying they'll be expelled from the elite battalion."

Xiao Fu's eyes lit up with admiration: "With them working so hard, they definitely won't be able to accept leaving the Sharp Knife Camp. But what if one day, as they work so hard, they even forget their identity as spies? That would be interesting."

“Then let’s wait until they forget about it,” Li Yinyin said, not wanting to gamble on the probability of converting these people. “When I travel in the future, I can occasionally transfer a few people from the elite vanguard to protect my safety, depending on the situation. They’ve worked so hard; if they don’t get any reward, their motivation will quickly disappear.”

Xiao Fu had never even heard of Li Yinyin's way of handling things, so she naturally found it very novel and carefully remembered Li Yinyin's instructions.

Having discussed the Sharp Knife Battalion, Li Yinyin naturally wouldn't neglect the remaining Golden Crow Guards: "We can arrange for all Golden Crow Guards to attend political and ideological classes. The first batch of you will continue with the special training methods I gave you earlier. The rest of you will be gradually divided into several specializations, such as cavalry, infantry, and archers, depending on your situation and talents."

"I will come to inspect them before the winter solstice. Once they are almost qualified, we can continue to recruit the third batch of Golden Crow Guards."

Winter is cold, water freezes instantly, and there's not much to do in the fields. Even if the people have a harvest, they've suffered too much in the past, so they certainly won't enjoy it right away.

Although the training at Jinwu Guard was arduous, they had lodging, clothes, and were never hungry, with doctors to care for them. They even received monthly pay and millet without fail. Under such circumstances, more impoverished families would naturally be willing to send their daughters to try, rather than try to stop them.

Seeing that Li Yinyin had gone to the desk to make plans, Xiao Fu didn't dare to stay and disturb her any longer, so she left immediately.

Once the plan was nearly finalized, Li Yinyin began to consider who should succeed her as the commander of the Golden Crow Guard. This successor didn't need to be particularly intelligent, as long as they were obedient and trusted her enough.

After all, she only wanted to find someone to manage the Golden Crow Guard, not to completely relinquish control of the Golden Crow Guard, nor did she necessarily want the new commander to personally go to the battlefield.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Yinyin decided to go and check on Li Zhenzhen's situation.

“Yinyin, you finally remembered to come see me,” Li Zhenzhen said with a rather mournful expression. “I was saying that after coming to Ming Kingdom, I would have more time to spend with you, but I didn’t expect you to be so busy that I couldn’t even see you.”

Li Yinyin blinked a little shyly: "When I went to Jiang Kingdom before, I had a lot of things left undone, and I've been busy catching up on them for the past month or two. Please forgive me this time, okay?"

"Alright then," Li Zhenzhen reluctantly accepted her apology, then happily said to her, "Sir praised me for learning things quickly, and soon I will be able to leave the royal estate and go out to play. In the future, when you are busy, I can come directly to you!"

"Really!" Li Yinyin praised her a few times before asking, "After graduation, Zhenzhen, what are your plans? Do you want to be a carefree member of the royal family, or do you want to be with me?"

“Of course I’ll be with you,” Li Zhenzhen said with a radiant smile. “Being a member of the royal family without official duties is no different from before, except that the living conditions are better. We’re still living with my parents.”

"When my parents are free, they will definitely start looking for a husband for me, and then I will get married and have children."

“But I’ve already come to the Ming Dynasty and know that women can live in so many different ways, how can I not give it a try?”

As she spoke, she looked at Li Yinyin and asked, "Yinyin, is there something you want to tell me?"

Li Yinyin nodded: "Zhenzhen, do you know about the Golden Crow Guard?"
