A Clash of Gods - Chapter 1034
[Chapter 1024 The Aftermath]
Xin Ci also frowned, but Qi Ning quickly changed the topic and said, “General Xin, I said there are two things I want to explain to you. (Update soon)”
“Master Hou, please speak!”
“Do you know the origin of Mo Yanbai?”
There was a hint of doubt on Xin Ci’s face, and he said, “Shen Liangqiu said that this person used to be a soldier in the East Sea Division and later became a deserter, but the general thought it would not be that simple. The ship he brought was not Ordinary fishing boats are not cargo ships either, the people on the boat seem to have lived in the sea all year round, they are not officers and soldiers, and they are not fishermen, so there is only one possibility!”
Qi Ning sighed: “General Xin is very wise, and he has already seen it.”
“Master Hou, is this person really a pirate?” With Qi Ning’s acknowledgement, Xin Ci’s expression changed slightly.
Qi Ning took out an object from his arms, handed it to Xin Ci, and said, “Does General Xin know this object?”
When Xin Ci saw that thing, he was even more surprised, and lost his voice: “Is this the black jade carp?”
“It seems that General Xin really knows each other, so it’s easy to say.” Qi Ning said.
“When the old marquis was preparing to build the Donghai Master, the emperor rewarded a lot of things, and this black jade carp is one of them.” Xin Ci said sternly: “The old man likes this thing very much, and the prince took over as the Donghai Master. After taking the post of governor, the old marquis gave this thing to the prince, and that is to hope that everything will be peaceful, who would have thought!” He shook his head, but immediately asked: “Marquis, where did you get this thing? Come? As far as the last general knows, the Governor has always carried this thing on his body, and no one knows that he is equipped with this thing!”
“This is the first thing I want to tell General Xin.” Qi Ning said solemnly, “General Xin doesn’t know anything, but Mo Yanbai has a bandit number in the East China Sea called the Black Tiger Shark!”
“It’s him!” Xin Ci was taken aback: “How many days ago?”
“The black tiger shark was sick and hid in an isolated island to recuperate. This was also planned by Shen Liangqiu.” A sneer appeared on Qi Ning’s lips: “I believe this is what he planned for a long time. The scene, and I saw it with my own eyes, if he has made a great contribution, this will increase the possibility of him taking over as the naval commander. ()”
Xin Ci’s eyes twitched, but he stopped talking.
The Black Tiger Shark had been embarrassed several times with the East China Sea Division and caused the sailors to be humiliated several times. Although the East China Sea Division tried their best to control this matter and prevent these humiliations from spreading to the outside world, Xin Ci was a high-level executive of the Tantai military group. Of course things are clear.
“I know that General Xin doesn’t like the black tiger shark.” Qi Ning motioned for Xin Ci to sit down and talk. After the two were seated, Qi Ning said, “Mo Yanbai and Shen Liangqiu once had an inseparable feud, what is it like? I don’t have time to go into details now, Shen Liangqiu is embarrassed by the Donghai Division, and the ultimate purpose is to make the Grand Governor notice him, so that he can have a chance to sit down and talk with the Grand Governor.”
Xin Ci was stunned, but he instantly understood the key and nodded, “I understand at the end, he wants to raise his price, so he can negotiate with the Governor.” Realizing something, he said in a low voice, “Master Hou, Could it be that the black tiger shark wants to accept recruiting?”
Qi Ning smiled and said, “That’s right. In fact, before the Governor was killed, he had already had private contact with Mo Yanbai, and the Moyu Black Carp was the token of the meeting between the Governor and Mo Yanbai.”
“So that’s the case.” Xin Ci nodded slightly and said, “It’s natural to be able to surrender to the imperial court and avoid the disaster in the East China Sea, it’s just!”
Qi Ning said: “General Xin, I know what you are worried about. There have been many conflicts between the black tiger shark and the navy before, and some people think that the black tiger shark killed the officers and soldiers. Even if they surrender, I am afraid they will be punished.”
Xin Ci said: “The Marquis is wise. In recent years, the black tiger sharks have gathered the bandits in Haishan and gathered on the islands, which has indeed posed a great threat to the imperial court. If they can take the initiative to surrender, the imperial court will be very happy. It is said that Mo Yanbai has sent people to kill officers and soldiers, and the last commander is only worried!”
“General Xin, I know what you said. The spies sent by the Black Tiger Shark were captured by Shen Liangqiu’s people.
All beheaded and hung on wooden poles.
“Qining said:” But those heads all disappeared overnight, and the officers and soldiers guarding the heads were all killed. The East Sea Division always thought it was the black tiger shark.
(fastest update)”
Xin Ci frowned and said, “Isn’t it?”
“No.” Qi Ning said: “Those so-called sea bandit spies were actually arranged by Shen Liangqiu, and it was also Shen Liangqiu who took away the real murderers who killed the sailors at the first level. The prestige of the Grand Governor has been shattered, and secondly, it also makes people feel that the Grand Governor will be unhappy because of the black tiger shark.”
Xin Ci’s eyes showed a look of surprise, and said, “Is that what Shen Liangqiu did?” He clenched his fists and said angrily, “This person is really ruthless.”
“Shen Liangqiu has already had the intention to kill the governor, and he has been making arrangements.” Qi Ning said: “His purpose is to obtain the position of the governor of the Navy.”
Xin Ci pondered for a while, and finally said: “Master Hou, the black tiger shark surrendered, I don’t know what Master Hou thinks?”
“I’m about to discuss with General Xin!”
“Since Mo Yanbai dared to come today, Lord Hou must have already given him some promises.” Xin Ci said, “Before the Great Governor passed away, he also handed the black carp to the black tiger shark. Naturally, he surrendered to the black tiger shark very much. I don’t care, the end will naturally have no opinion.”
Qi Ning nodded and said: “If there is no accident, the court will naturally accept their surrender. However, the final order of the court should still be handled by General Xin on the spot, and there are thousands of people under the Black Tiger Shark. Recruiting security, naturally we must properly arrange these people, what does General Xin have in mind?”
“If they surrender, they can be given silver taels, and the local government in the East China Sea can allocate land to them and send them home to farm?” Xinci suggested.
Qi Ning thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, “General Xin, although these people accept recruiting, in the end, they don’t really want to go back to their hometown to farm and live a poor life in peace and contentment. Going to sea to be a bandit. You are an old general of the navy, and you know the temperament of those people better than I do.”
“Master Hou hit the nail on the head.” Xin Ci nodded immediately and said, “These people are all wolves. Even if they are sent back to their origin, they may not be able to perform their duties.”
Qi Ning said with a smile: “Although these people are a rabble, they have a few benefits that are invaluable.”
“What did Lord Hou say?”
“They are very familiar with the waters of the East China Sea, and they are all proficient in water. They are pirates in the sea, and there is still a rush of arrogance. When it is time to work hard, they are also courageous.” Qi Ning looked at Xin Ci with a smile: “If you can make good use of it, it will be a force.”
Xin Ci frowned slightly and said, “Could it be that the Marquis wants to incorporate these people into the navy? I’m afraid this is inappropriate.”
“The Donghai Navy is the elite of the empire, and it is very strict when recruiting sailors.” Qi Ning said, “They are forbidden by orders. If they really let those recruited pirates enter the army to serve in the army, it will definitely lead to that kind of sloppy habit. Bringing them in and integrating them into the navy is by no means a one-off event. What’s more, they were born as pirates, and the navy officers and soldiers will not look down on them in their bones, and the two sides may not conflict with each other in the future.”
Xin Ci said: “What Marquis said is very true.” Feeling that Qi Ning had already thought of a way out for these people, he asked, “Marquis, I wonder how you should arrange these people after they surrender?”
Qi Ning said: “How to arrange it, we have to discuss it carefully. But if this group of people can make great contributions to the court, I hope that General Xin can write to the court with me and treat them more kindly!”
“Dedicated meritorious service?” Xin Ci suddenly did not understand.
Qi Ning hesitated for a moment before saying: “After returning to the city, I will plan carefully with General Xin. I have one more thing to do now, and I also ask General Xin to take care of the aftermath here.”
Xin Ci immediately got up and said, “If the Lord Hou has any orders, please feel free to speak.”
“I’m going to that ship.” Qi Ning pondered for a while before saying, “Let me handle this matter!”
Xin Ci suddenly understood, and bowed deeply again.
Qi Ning went out of the cabin. The officials on the deck were in groups of three or five, and they were talking in low voices. When they saw Qi Ning coming out, the officials immediately quieted down. At this time, Xin Ci also followed out of the cabin. Qi Ning turned around and said to Xin Ci: “General Xin, you can take two warships back first. I’ll take a look over there, and I’ll be back soon.”
“It’s better if we wait here, and we will follow the Lord Hou’s orders.” He wanted to wait for Qi Ning to be with him, but when he saw Qi Ning wink, he understood what Qi Ning meant, and immediately changed his words. wind.
Qi Ning didn’t talk nonsense, only Wu Dalin and other guards left behind, got off the warship, and went straight to Mo Yanbai’s boat. Xin Ci knew that Qi Ning didn’t want people here to be too busy, and immediately ordered two ships to turn around. The boat returns to the dock.
Shen Liangqiu was killed, and the naval officers and soldiers were leaderless. At this time, they could only obey Xin Ci’s orders.
Qi Ning got to the side of the boat and boarded the boat. Everyone on the boat had been instructed in advance. When they saw Qi Ning board the boat, they all stood on the side respectfully. One of them came forward and bowed. The voice asked, “Where is the man?”
“Grassman Gu Haiqing, is the second master of Hu Ye.” The man was very respectful: “Hu Ye has an order, whether he can come back or not, when we see Marquis, we must obey Marquis’s orders, Marquis wants to see People, right in the cabin.”
Qi Ning is dressed in a brocade and jade belt, and everyone here has been instructed by Mo Yanbai in advance. As the second head of the family, Gu Haiqing is second only to Mo Yanbai in the East China Sea bandits. He is also a very smart person, so he naturally knows this The young man on the boat must be Jin Yihou.
Jin Yi Hou nodded slightly, Gu Haiqing had already raised his hand to invite Qi Ning to enter the cabin, Qi Ning ordered Wu Dalin and others to wait outside and entered the cabin on their own, but Gu Haiqing and others did not follow up.
A short walk out of the cabin, there is a cabin on the left, the wooden door is open, Qi Ning walks to the cabin door with his hands on his back, only to see a slender figure standing in front of a window, with his back to this side, wearing a long purple dress, It was the woman who had just appeared on the bow.
Qi Ning entered the cabin, closed the door with his backhand, walked lightly behind the woman, stopped two steps away, put his hands behind his back, stared at the woman’s back, and said straight to the point: “Shen Liangqiu has confessed everything, and he was also taken into custody. Earth rectification, I don’t know what else Madam has to say?”
