This standing army was organized in France and the motive behind it was to provide a solution to the Marauding companies which were considered as free.  

These companies did not have much of a choice as they were given two options and that was either to support the Royal army permanently or get hunted down by them if they refused to support. So, people have not much of a choice and those who didn't support it were eliminated by 6000 men who were sent out to eliminate the people who refused.
