Ning Yu woke up from his sleep, he hadn't slept so sweetly for a long time, that the bones in his whole body made a creaking sound.

The maidservants Chunzhu and Chunlu brought water and served Ning Yu to get up, and now Ning Yu has grown into a handsome and tall young man, which makes some maids have some thoughts that they shouldn't have.

In these years, although there is a strict marriage system, it is really a good way out for large families to be an aunt who fills the house.

Chunzhu's face was slightly red, and he said in a low voice: "Young master, the master and several masters are waiting in the front hall, saying that they will wait for you to discuss the matter." As he spoke, he skillfully helped Ning Yu tie his belt, and when his pretty little hand slid around his waist, Ning Yu couldn't help but feel a little slack.

If you really be a young master who doesn't worry about anything, then life is really not ordinary.

After everything was taken care of, Ning Yu came to the front hall, and at this time, Ning Zhongyuan and the others had a spring breeze on their faces and were chatting happily.

Seeing Ning Yu walk in, Ning Zhongjing hurriedly took his arm, walked to the main hall and said loudly: "Come on, come on, my Ning family's Qianli horse has arrived, this time you can stop me!" ”

The rest of the people started to coax together, they were originally all men in their thirties, and their temperament was not so restrained, and it was not a small time to ridicule Ning Yu on weekdays, and even Ning Zhongyuan had a little smile.

Ning Yu begged for mercy, saluted one by one, and finally smiled bitterly: "This time it's just beating some bandits, but it's not a serious table." ”

Ning Zhongyuan snorted lightly, and scolded with a smile: "Praise you kid for a few words, it's really impossible to go to heaven, with two hundred young soldiers, you have wiped out all the people in Peach Blossom Mountain, who have been a disaster for many years, and there are no casualties in yourself, such a victory, your father and I can't fight!" ”

Yes, this time he was too modest, and he was scolded instead.

Ning Yu had no choice but to correct his attitude and said: "This battle was originally an unequal battle, strictly speaking, my two hundred young soldiers are much stronger than these seven or eight hundred bandits, and it is not surprising that such a result has been achieved. ”

Although the brothers of the Ning family are all from military families, only Ning Zhongyuan and Ning Zhongyi are in the army.

Ning Zhongyi had a rough temperament and said with a smile: "You kid, what is it not surprising? Explain to your uncles, and let us also listen to your boy's opinion. ”

The others were also engrossed in pricking up their ears, and even Ning Zhongyuan, who had been in battle for a long time, put down the face of the father-son relationship, and listened quietly like a studious student.

In fact, after this battle, the impression of the Ning family and others on Ning Yu has undergone a great change, from the original genius descendants, to the core figure who can participate in the development of the Ning family, don't look at this point seems to be nothing, but it is actually very important, indicating that the resources that Ning Yu can mobilize within the family have been greatly increased.

Judging from the current situation, there are only three characters who can really influence the development plan of the Ning family, namely Ning Zhongyuan, Ning Zhongjing and Ning Zhongyi, and now Ning Yu has become the fourth person, and even his voice is higher than Ning Zhongyi.

This kind of discourse power will not change because of the relationship between ethics and inferiority, the reason is that the current Ning family is still in the prosperous stage, and it pays more attention to ability, rather than seniority and origin. This shows that Ning Yu's first purpose of coming to this world has basically been fully realized, that is, to unite the vast majority of the Ning family's strength.

Ning Yu was a little excited in his heart, calmed down his heart slightly, and then said slowly: "The reason why this is an unequal war is that in addition to the three victories mentioned before the war, there is also the superiority between organizations. ”

"The Eagle Battalion is strictly hierarchical and has established a complete internal organization, which is more commanding in wartime, and can give full play to the strength of these two hundred men. On the contrary, for Taohuashan, it is just a group of bandits who have not experienced strict military education, and the so-called hundreds of people are just dozens of outlaws who dare to fight and hundreds of farmers who can only fight with the wind. And when I fought a battle, I wiped out the dozens of people who rushed to the front, and the hundreds of people behind had no heart to fight. ”

Ning Yu said as he spoke, but he sighed in his heart, this is actually a common problem of the feudal army, and the same is true for the current Eagle Battalion, but in terms of fighting losses, the Eagle Battalion is too strong, Ning Yu is confident that even if the casualties are less than 50 percent, the Eagle Battalion will never collapse, but no one can do it in this current era.

After listening to this, Ning Zhongyuan sighed: "This Peach Blossom Mountain bandits were originally all exiles from Yunyang, and later after the imperial court abolished Yunyang Town, a large number of Yunyang exiles gathered in various places as bandits, this Peach Blossom Mountain is one of them, and its combat effectiveness is quite good, and the ordinary green battalion is not their opponent, but I didn't expect it to be so simple to be exterminated." ”、

Ning Yu said softly: "From this incident, I obviously feel that something is wrong, but I must be so ruthless before, otherwise my Ning family's prestige will no longer exist, and now the Peach Blossom Mountain on this side has been destroyed, but the hand in the dark has not been caught." For some reason, Ning Yu thought of the three people he had caught from the back mountain at this time, perhaps, they knew something.

Ning Zhongjing snorted coldly and said, "From the mouths of some of the people you captured this time, you didn't ask anything, but according to my information from other aspects, I am afraid that behind this incident, I am afraid that the Huaibei Salt Gang is doing trouble." ”

Speaking of the Huaibei Salt Gang, everyone present was surprised, but it was reasonable to think about it, after all, the real impact of selling smuggled salt was the interests of the original salt dealers.

The Huaibei Salt Gang is still a branch of the two Huai Salt States. From the Western Han Dynasty Wu King Liu Biao "luring the dead people in the world to boil seawater for salt", the salt industry of the two Huai has developed rapidly, and the famous two Huai salt gangs have been achieved, which is the so-called "two Huai salt, the world is salty." ”

In today's Kangxi period, Huguang lacked salt, so the private salt entered was Huai salt and Sichuan salt, but Sichuan salt has not really become a climate, so it is mainly Huai salt. The appearance of the Ning family's private salt seriously damaged the interests of the two Huaibei salt merchants, especially the Huaibei salt merchants.

It is said that once the Kangxi Emperor wanted to govern the Yellow River, but the funds were far from enough, and the salt merchants of Yangzhou donated three million taels at a time, and their strength can be called the richest in the world.

But now the Ning family is being targeted by such a behemoth.
