Chapter 33 Jinyi New Army Training Ground

The schoolyard in Jinyiwei Farm has begun to take shape, so Gao Wencai took out 80 acres of land to transform it into a schoolyard. This was Zhao Peng who convinced Gao Wencai that after all, they would go to the south in the future, and if they should give up the east and west of the north, they would give up. If these lands cannot be taken away, whether the Shun Army wins or the Jiannu wins in the future, the land will eventually become theirs. Especially when the Qing army enters the pass and snatches land in the north, the land of the Han people is taken away by the iron-core crops of the Eight Banners.

After Zhao Peng said this, Gao Wencai wanted to sell all the land, but now the land cannot be sold at all. The land in the north of the Little Ice Age was not worth much. When the King of Chuang came, the great tyrants distributed the land, and the land was even less valuable. Gao Wencai had to give up.

Before the sky was dawn, a team of 150 killers were already lined up on the abandoned land.

The new recruit He Xing stood at the end of the team. He was originally a boatman on the canal. When the boatman was a profession passed down from generation to generation, his grandfather was a boatman on the canal, and his father was also a boatman on the canal. During the Wanli and Tianqi period, his grandfather and father could still satisfy the family's food and clothing, but in the Chongzhen Dynasty, life was getting worse day by day. Later, the income from hard work could only barely prevent the family from starving to death. Later, the army of the King of Chuang entered Beijing, and the transportation of the canal was completely cut off. The boatman ended up like the refugees, and people starved to death every day.

Just when He Xing's family was completely out of food, he heard that the Jinyiwei wanted to recruit new soldiers and received two taels of silver per month. Although the Jinyiwei had a bad reputation and was said to be framed by loyal and kind people and bullying the people, in order to get two taels of silver per month, He Xing still signed up to participate in the Jinyiwei.

Since the King of Chuang came, I heard that the King of Chuang was seeking benefits for the people of the world, why did he still retain the Jinyiwei who harmed the people? He Xing didn't understand this. But he never thought that those who slandered the Jinyiwei were all civil servants and gentry, and the right to speak back then was in their hands. The so-called people in the civil servants and gentry were themselves. The Jinyiwei harmed the civil servants and gentry, and it turned into a disaster for the people. In fact, the King of Chuang was also very famous in the minds of He Xing and others. He heard that they were bandits who robbed their families, but later he heard that the King of Chuang did not pay food and had to distribute land to the people, which made the King of Chuang change from a thief to a holy lord in the hearts of the people.

Since the King of Chuang entered Beijing, he would not pay any grain, but the north suffered disasters for many years, and there was almost no difference between paying food and not paying food. A few years ago, the Jurchens invaded and robbed, which made the people even worse.

Even if the King of Breaking did not pay the food, the common people still starve to death every day.

Since the King of Chuang retained the Jinyiwei and began to recruit people, it means that the Jinyiwei under the King of Chuang must be different from the original Ming Jinyiwei. Even if the Jinyiwei still framed the loyal and kind, the people would care about him. As long as anyone gives him a bite of food, the people would be willing to follow him.

When He Xing came to register, he found that the Jinyiwei recruited people very harshly: those who were sick, those who were weak, those who were sly, those who were not honest, those who were not innocent in their family, those who had committed crimes in their families... After the preliminary review, they had to pass the assessment. The assessment contents include running, weightlifting, etc., and those who failed the assessment were eliminated. He Xing was fortunate to pass the review and passed the assessment, becoming one of the new recruits of the Jinyiwei.

However, these new recruits in the Jinyiwei did not have the legendary wingless black hat, flying fish suit, and embroidered spring swords. They didn't even have decent weapons. Each of them only gave out a wooden stick.

"Everyone is standing attentive!" Just as He Xing was thinking about it, he only heard a shout.

He Xing was shocked and quickly lifted the stick, stood up straight with his head held high and his chest raised.

I saw Gong Xiaoda walking up with a flag gun. The flag gun was a flag with a gun tip at the tip. This guy was short-sized, wearing a black flying fish suit, a black six-petal pointed iron helmet, and an embroidered spring knife around his waist. It is said that this guy was originally an old Jinyiwei guard. However, Gong Xiaoda looked very ugly, with a very big mouth, occupying half of his face, and had a few sparse rat beards on his face. His blood-red eyes were as big as copper bells, and he looked very fierce.

"Turn right!" Gong Xiaoda roared.

He Xing and the boatmen turned right one after another, but many of the recruits from miners made mistakes. One of He Xing’s people turned wrong. He Xing turned right, but the man turned left and faced with He Xing.

There was a noise in the crowd. Actually, it was no wonder that the miners were the miners. Many of them didn't even know one big word, and they couldn't even tell the left and right. He Xing knew what the person in front of him was named. The two had known each other for only two days and knew that his name was Min Qinghua.

Gong Xiaoda was not polite and hit Min Qinghua on the back with a whip.

It's already the third time, but I still can't tell the difference between the left and right, so I deserve to be beaten! He Xing said in his heart.

The surroundings were already surrounded by onlookers. Those people were originally military households of the Beijing camp. Although they were still wearing faded red mandarin duck battle jackets, worn goose yellow Fan Yang hats, and still dressed in Ming army, in fact, since Li Zicheng entered Beijing, these military households of the Beijing camp have become Shunjun.

"Look, this silly guy is so ridiculous. He always makes mistakes. As long as he turns against him, he can't make mistakes."

"That thin monkey is ridiculous. Everyone else turned around. He stood still stupidly, as if he was deaf."

"Stop talking, it is said that they are Jinyiwei, so don't talk nonsense."

"Encyclopedia Guard? What is the Encyclopedia Guard? Do you think it was the Ming Dynasty back then? It's now Dashun. If the emperor hadn't seen the tail of Luo Yangxing's three-class slave, he would have withdrawn the Encyclopedia Guard long ago!"

…………

On the school ground, each team was scolding and beating, and was ruthless in response to the new recruits who turned the wrong direction. Seeing the new recruits in the Jinyiwei in a mess, the laughter of the surrounding military households became louder.

An former military officer, a thousand-household officer, said contemptuously: "These Jinyiwei are just like playing monkeys. If you expect them to go to the battlefield, you should not think about it. Jinyiwei should practice personal martial arts. Is there any use to practice these?"

The Jinyiwei, who had completed the queue training, started running around the school ground again. After running around the school ground for a while, they left the school ground, ran to the canal, arrived at the canal, then ran back to the school ground, and then conducted queue training according to the command of the commander. This was repeated mechanically and boring training again and again.

If the queue turns wrong, you will be beaten. If the posture is not standard, you will be beaten. If you can't stand, you will be beaten. If you fall, you will be beaten. Even if you fall at the end while running, you will be beaten.

"It's fine if you turn the wrong way and get beaten, but if you stand a little bit crooked, you will get beaten. Isn't it too heavy?" Gao Wencai asked.
