A Clash of Gods - Chapter 547

[Chapter 548]

Not long after lunch, Duan Canghai came back from the Black Scale Camp. Qi Ning was overjoyed to see him. This time is different from the past. In the past, Canghai was the head guard of the Jinyi Hou Mansion, but now he is training the Black Scale Camp. He was the actual commander of the Black Scales Battalion, so he was serving tea. Duan Canghai felt a little embarrassed when he saw Qi Ning like this.

“Master Hou, I heard that you have returned to Beijing, so I came here to report the situation to you immediately.” Duan Canghai said, “Although the Black Scale Battalion is fully recruited, after these days of training, only those who can stay will be able to stay. Only half of them, I want to discuss with Lord Hou to see if we should send those people back and recruit some people.”

Qi Ning said: “I told you from the beginning that the Black Scale Battalion will be handed over to you. If you are missing anything, just come to me.” He added: “The Black Scale Battalion’s salaries have not been allocated. I have already mentioned it at the court meeting, what the emperor meant, the Black Scale Battalion will not be controlled by the Ministry of War from now on.”

Duan Canghai said with a smile: “The Ministry of War is the person from the golden swordsman. I have always been worried that they will not point fingers at us in the future. It’s better now, and I don’t need to look at them in the future.” Then he frowned and said, “Master Hou. , I don’t know when the salaries will be released? In a short time, the humble post can still stand up, but in a long time, I’m afraid people will not be convinced.”

Qi Ning said: “The soldiers’ salaries for the Black Scale Battalion will be allocated directly by the Ministry of Households in the future. It should be able to be allocated within the next two days. Anyway, I have already left a message to give them a few days. If it is still delayed, you can directly pay Some people come here, and I will take you to the Ministry of Household to urge them.”

Duan Canghai was born in the army, and he likes to be brave and ruthless. When he heard that Qi Ning was going to lead a team to the Ministry of Housing to ask for wages, he was so excited that he almost rolled up his sleeves and said, “Master Hou, I’ll go back to prepare and choose some. Capable brothers, how many people do you need? Is it enough to bring two hundred?”

“What are you excited about?” Qi Ning glared at him, “bringing soldiers and horses into the capital in a grand manner, are you trying to find death? There are already people staring at Lao Tzu, I am afraid that Lao Tzu will not cause trouble. Grab the handle.”

Duan Canghai was a little embarrassed, but Qi Ning lowered his voice and said, “Bring thirty or forty good people, and then put them into the city, don’t wear military uniforms.” Thinking of something, he waved his hands and said, “The emperor has a will, but the Ministry of Household does not. If you are so brave to resist the decree, you should be able to pay the soldiers and take someone to the Ministry of Household to urge the pay, which is also a last resort, and when the time comes, I will send someone to inform you.”

Duan Canghai nodded, and Qi Ning said in a low voice, “Remember, the Black Scale Battalion needs to be trained strictly, but don’t let bugs get in.”

“Insect?” Duan Canghai was stunned for a moment, but he realized it immediately. He frowned and asked softly, “Master Hou, is there any rumors?”

Qi Ning did not hide it, and told Duan Canghai everything about the Zaochao. Duan Canghai was surprised: “Master Hou is going to Dongqi?”

Qi Ning nodded and said, “The power of the Sima family is expanding faster than I thought. Today, Feng Ruohai was killed to warn the monkeys, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty have remained silent about the Sima family since then. This time, they went to Dongqi to seek relatives, and they used marriage to have a relationship with the Sima family. The alliance between the Eastern Qi and Eastern Qi is not the main purpose, and it is the most important reason to contain the power of the Sima family.”

Duan Canghai nodded and said in a low voice, “Master Marquis, although there will be no problems with the people in our Marquis Mansion, everything has an accident. Master Marquis is one of the four Marquis of the Empire, Sima Lan even sent people to Feng Ruohai. The investigation, I am afraid that the tentacles have already been extended to our Hou residence, so we must be careful.”

“This is because I have prepared for it.” Qi Ning said softly, “So at the Black Scale Camp, you have to be careful, and don’t let the miscellaneous fish mix in, and become the eyes and ears to monitor the Black Scale Camp’s every move.” After pondering for a while, their bodies got closer, their heads were close at hand, and they whispered: “Our Qi family’s forces are on the Qinhuai Army’s side, but the Qinhuai Army is stationed on the frontier, near the capital, the only trustworthy soldiers and horses in our hands, It is the Black Scale Battalion in your hand, if something really happens, you can only rely on this army.”

Duan Canghai looked cold and said in a low voice, “Master Hou, do you think the Sima family really dares to rebel?”

“According to common sense,

probably not.

“Qining said: “Although the Sima family is very powerful in the court, the main source of his power is the emperor. He has great achievements and has many followers. There is the queen mother in the palace, plus the auxiliary minister.” The name of the emperor, the emperor is young, if the current government really leaves Sima Lan, it will be really chaotic.

But he also has a fatal weakness, that is, military power and financial power.

”

Duan Canghai nodded and said: “Dou Kui is in charge of the household department and belongs to the King of Huainan. The current financial power should be controlled by the party of the King of Huainan. Inside and outside the capital, the Royal Yulin Camp is naturally loyal to the emperor, but Chi Fengdian It is a person who has been promoted by the Golden Sabre Candidate, and has a close relationship with the Golden Sabre Candidate. He is stationed in the Xuanwu Camp outside the capital. There are people from Sima Lan, and there are people from the Golden Sabre Candidate. Among them, there are even people from our Qi family. It is quite confusing. , if something were to happen, I really can’t say how to make a choice.”

“The Tantai family has the Donghai Division, and the Xichuan Corps is also his sphere of influence. We have the Qinhuai Corps in the Qi family, and the soldiers and horses Sima Lan can use is the Black Sword Battalion.” Qi Ning said: “But Sima Lan is very cunning and cunning. He overthrew Feng Ruohai at the court meeting today, of course because he wanted to kill the chickens and set an example, but he also wanted to put his tentacles into the household.”

“Oh?”

“Feng Ruohai’s case can’t be over so quickly.” Qi Ning sneered, “Sima Lan doesn’t move, and if he doesn’t make a move, he won’t be soft-hearted. Feng Ruohai is the first person to fall from the horse, and he will definitely follow. He will use this matter to make a big fuss and find out a large number of people. Once these people are sacked, there will be many vacancies in official positions, and Sima Lan will naturally meet the needle and arrange his own people.”

Duan Canghai said: “Sima Lan is both the Duke of Zhen Guo and the minister of the Ministry of Personnel. If there are vacancies in the officials, the Ministry of Personnel is the time to make waves.”

“Sima Lan will take this opportunity to desperately suppress the Ministry of Household, and then place his own people in the Ministry of Household.” Qi Ning sneered: “Dou Kui has King Huainan’s death protection, and the emperor does not want King Huainan to be too weak. , so Dou Kui should be able to survive this storm, but the people under him will definitely suffer a lot.”

“If Sima Lan controls the Ministry of Household and financial power, then he will definitely use the financial power to control the military power near the capital as much as possible.” Duan Canghai said solemnly: “Marquis, if he really has it in his hands. Military power, the consequences are!”

Qi Ning nodded and said, “So we can’t be idle either. Your duty is to train me a brave and good warrior. If things really change here in the capital, whether it’s the Qinhuai Army or the East Sea Marines, They are far from being able to quench their thirst, and they are beyond the reach of the whip.”

Duan Canghai said in a low voice, “Master Marquis, the emperor asked the Black Scale Camp to rebuild, did he think of this? Did he also worry that the Sima family would rebel?”

“Everything is foreshadowed or not.” Qi Ning said: “I don’t know if the emperor thinks so, but I have to think about the Qi family. If something goes wrong, there will be such a team in the Jinyi Houfu. Soldiers and horses can escort and protect.”

Duan Canghai nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and then said, “Master Hou, Xue Lingfeng, the Tiger God Camp, is also related to us. If something really happened, Xue Lingfeng!”

Qi Ning waved his hand and said, “Xue Lingfeng was indeed a commander of the Qi family in the past, but he is now the commander of the Tiger God Battalion, which is the soldiers and horses guarding the capital. As far as I know, the Tiger God Battalion is nominally under the military department. Temperance, but it has always been directed by the emperor himself. After the death of the late emperor, Sima Lan became the minister of the auxiliary country, and the minister of the auxiliary country has the right to mobilize these troops in the capital.” He lowered his voice and said: “Do you still remember, when the late emperor died and the capital was under martial law, which two troops were stationed in the capital?”

Duan Canghai said: “The Black Sabre Battalion enters the city and changes to the royal guards. The capital is guarded by the Tiger God Battalion.” His body was shocked, and he frowned: “Master Hou, could it be Xue Lingfeng is him!”

Qi Ning shook his head and said, “I don’t know, maybe he still has our Qi family in his heart, maybe he will really help us in times of crisis, but we can’t put our own safety in the hands of Xue Lingfeng, people are hard to come by. You can only be fooled if you control your own destiny.”

When Duan Canghai heard this, his heart warmed and he felt grateful.

Qi Ning handed over the Black Scale Camp to him, just waiting for the safety of the Qi family to be handed over to him, showing great trust in him, which moved Duan Canghai and said softly, “Master Hou. , your subordinates understand, you can rest assured that from now on, your subordinates will use one day as two days, and they will give their lives to train a brave and good soldier for the Hou Ye.”

Duan Canghai was born in the military. Although he has a lot of knowledge, he is a warrior after all. He couldn’t understand the many twists and turns in the court. At this time, after a reminder from Qi Ning, Duan Canghai woke up instantly.

He originally thought that the emperor wanted to support the Jinyi Qi family, so he wanted the Qi family to rebuild the Black Scale Battalion. He always thought that one day, this Black Scale Battalion might still appear on the frontline battlefield and compete with the Northern Han people. It suddenly became clear that Qi Ning had to practice the Black Scale Battalion hard, but the main purpose was to guard against turmoil in the capital. In times of crisis, there was an elite army that could protect the Jinyi Qi family.

Since the Black Scale Camp was concerned with the safety of the Jinyi Qi family, Duan Canghai naturally felt that he had to train with all his strength to turn the Black Scale Camp into a sharp weapon for the Qi family.

Qi Ning and Duan Canghai instructed Duan Canghai for a long time, and Duan Canghai went back to the barracks and personally sent Duan Canghai out of the mansion. Help me report it, the villain was ordered to invite the Hou Ye!”

Qi Ning turned around, UU reading www.sonicmtl.

Seeing that he was a man with a thick beard, the man was stunned when he saw Qi Ning, then stepped forward and said respectfully, “Master Hou!”

Qi Ning felt that this man looked familiar, but he couldn’t remember it for a while, and asked, “Who are you? How do you know me?”

“The villain is from the Tian family’s medicine shop. I used to have blind eyes and offended Lord Hou!” The man was a little embarrassed: “The villain’s surname is Shen, and his name is Shen Lian!”

Qi Ning immediately sounded. When he entered the Tian Mansion because of the arena, and was forced to marry by Mrs. Tian, when he was about to leave, it was this big man who led someone to stop him. He smiled and said, “So it’s you, do you have something to do with me?”

Shen Lian saw that even though Qi Ning was honored as a brocade-clothed candidate, he had no air at all, so he hurriedly bowed and said, “Master Hou, Madam sent a villain over to ask Master Hou if he has time, she set up a table in the manor, and said There is a jar of fine wine that has been treasured for many years, if the Hou Ye has time, I would like to invite the Hou Ye over to taste the wine.” He added, “The madam wanted to come by herself, but she said that it is inconvenient to come over to invite the Hou Ye from a woman-like family. , so I sent a villain here, and please forgive me!”

Qi Ning smiled and said, “A good wine that has been collected for many years? Is it true or false, how did your wife become so generous?” I knew that Madam Tian was still doing something about the hospital, and I thought that there was nothing else to do at night, so I went to look around. No problem, nodded and said, “You go back first, I’ll go over by myself later.”

Shen Lian said happily: “The little man will go back and report immediately!” After bowing, he turned around and left.
