Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

While the Fifth Prince still harbored doubts about Yin Yin's suggestion, the Emperor had already freed up his hands to begin rewarding those who had contributed.

All the Imperial Guard generals who were loyal to him were promoted. Although not all the soldiers below him got the chance to fill in, they received more rewards, so their efforts were not in vain.

In terms of total revenue, Xiwei received the most.

Previously, the Western Guard was responsible for guarding remote and peripheral areas, but now, the emperor has directly entrusted the task of protecting him to the Western Guard.

From then on, the Western Guard went from being the last of the Four Imperial Guards to the first.

As the leader of the Western Guard, Yin Yin was originally a princess. Although it was possible for her to be promoted to a higher rank, the emperor gave her a different reward.

The emperor handed over all the troops around the capital to Yin Yin, which meant that Yin Yin had a formal position in the court. From then on, she could stand alongside the court officials in the Xuan Shi Hall court assembly, and even stand very close to the front.

The moment this order was issued, it was like stirring up a hornet's nest; the number of memorials submitted was even greater than when Yin Yin took over the Western Guard last time.

The emperor, just like before, kept the document in the dark and asked Yin Yin instead, "Are you confident?"

Yinyin replied, "With my father backing me up, what confidence do I lack?"

The emperor laughed: "Then I entrust the safety of the entire capital to you."

"I will not fail in my mission," Yin Yin bowed, then asked, "Father, now that I am the commander-in-chief, I can decide how to train them and what kind of soldiers to recruit, right?"

“Of course,” the emperor said, “I am giving you this power.”

With the emperor's promise and the Western Guard under Yin Yin's command, before these military officers could even try to trip her up, Yin Yin gave them a taste of her power.

"What a waste," Yin Yin said, sitting on the high platform, watching Taknor take on several of the supposedly strongest soldiers by himself, deliberately making her contempt very obvious.

Immediately, someone stood up and said, "Taknor is highly talented, and there are naturally not many people who can compare to him. If the princess wants to use him as the benchmark to determine our victory or defeat, I will not accept it!"

This is exactly what Yinyin was waiting for.

“Alright,” Yin Yin suppressed her joy and had the elite West Guards who had come out with her step forward. She then addressed the troublemakers below, “Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance. Best of five, you can choose from among them yourselves.”

"As long as you win, I'll even resign from this post if it means I have to ask His Majesty for permission."

"I just don't know if you all dare to do it."

The Longteng Camp in the outskirts of Beijing, as the army protecting the area around the capital, has always been proud of being the central army directly under the emperor. After being provoked by Yinyin, how could they sit still? After discussing it, they quickly selected a few people.

Yinyin deliberately chose the Western Guard, who had acquaintances in the Longteng Camp, not to make them think they were not good enough in the past, but to make them look down on the Western Guard.

Instead, they were observing how the impressive victory at Xiwei would allow the soldiers in the main camp to better understand the difference in strength between these individuals before and after.

The biggest difference between the West Guard before and after this was only her as the commander-in-chief; otherwise, why couldn't the people of the West Guard be so powerful before?

Only with this idea in mind can Yin Yin carry out the training more smoothly.

The outcome of the contest was not unexpected for Yin Yin; in fact, it was even more impressive than she had imagined.

West Defenders won all five matches.

"Good," Yin Yin was satisfied with the performance of the Western Guard, but when she turned to the Dragon Soaring Camp, her face showed obvious disdain. "Is this the elite of the Dragon Soaring Camp?"

The soldiers of the Dragon Soaring Camp were furious, but they also knew that none of these men had gone easy on them; they had truly lost because they were simply outmatched in skill.

Yin Yin turned to them and said, “From now on, I will take over the Dragon Soaring Camp. Your training will all follow my plan.”

"If any of you feel you can't hold on any longer, feel free to report it. Whether you transfer to another unit or go into logistics, I will absolutely not stop you."

Yin Yin spoke gently, but everyone present understood that if they felt they couldn't adapt to the training, whether it was true or not, they would be directly removed from the elite teams of the Dragon Soaring Camp.

Now, apart from those who were just there to gain experience and slack off, everyone was on high alert, determined not to give Yin Yin that chance.

In fact, the people in the Longteng camp are in good physical condition and have high aspirations. They also worked very hard to complete Yinyin's training.

Although they initially found Yin Yin's training too torturous, their competitive spirit was ignited after learning that Xi Wei had also trained in the same way.

Three months after Yin Yin took over the Longteng Camp, although they were still quite far behind the Xiwei who had trained for several years in terms of ability, they were already quite impressive in terms of formations and other aspects.

To encourage them, Yin Yin turned around and invited the emperor to come out of the palace for an inspection.

The emperor did not come alone this time, because there were many officials among them who had been persistently submitting memorials to him, so he brought along a number of ministers.

It's often said that laymen only see beauty, while experts see the details.

Most of the civil officials saw the renewed spirit and energy of the Longteng Camp, while the military officials saw the sharpness and significantly improved personal qualities of these soldiers.

After the inspection was completed, before the civil officials could even speak, the military officers couldn't wait to praise the troops, and asked eagerly, "How did the princess train the soldiers?"

Yinyin smiled but didn't speak. The emperor then said, "With such an army protecting the capital, I feel very at ease!"

While the military officers were still lamenting their inability to uncover Yin Yin's secrets of training troops, the civil officials had already grasped the emperor's meaning: the impeachment of Yin Yin was to end there, and if anyone were to submit another memorial, it would be too much.

The emperor had a bad temper, and the ministers knew when to back down.

Although it was important that Yin Yin, a woman, took away their military power and placed them on equal footing in the court, their lives were more important.

After returning home, these ministers came to their own conclusions.

Anyway, His Majesty has been exceptionally kind to Princess Shou Kang for quite some time now, and she's the only one who's ever been treated this way.

The ministers lowered their standards further, and the emperor was also pleased with the performance of the Dragon Soaring Camp.

Yinyin privately pointed out to him, "Father, an army that has not truly been trained on the battlefield is ultimately just a showy facade."

"They may be able to bluff people, but if something really happens, I'm still a little worried that they'll let us down."

The emperor sensed the implication in her words and glanced at her: "You've only just taken over the Dragon Soaring Camp, and you already want to go to the battlefield to earn military merit?"

“Of course,” Yin Yin said. “Father, what do you think about me accumulating merits and being promoted from Princess to Princess?”

"Or, Father, do you think Chengsi is worth becoming a Duke instead of a Marquis?"

"You certainly dare to think that way," the emperor said, not angry, but not agreeing either. "Let's talk about it later after you've trained your troops properly."
