Chapter 548: Plan Ahead
Not long after lunch, Duan Canghai actually came back from the Black Scale Battalion, Qi Ning was very happy to see him, now it is different from the past, in the past, this Canghai was the chief of the guard of the Jinyi Hou Mansion, and now he is training the Black Scale Battalion, and he can be regarded as the actual leader of the Black Scale Battalion, which makes people serve tea, Duan Canghai is a little embarrassed to see Qi Ning like this.

"Master Hou, I heard that you have returned to Beijing, so I immediately rushed to report some situation to you." Duan Canghai said: "Although the Black Scale Battalion has recruited a full staff, but after these years of training, only half of them can stay, and I want to discuss with Lord Hou to see if I want to send those people back and recruit some people." ā
Qi Ning said: "I told you from the beginning, all the Black Scale Camp is handed over to you, if you lack anything, just come to me." He added: "The salary of the Black Scale Battalion has not been allocated, I have already mentioned it at the court meeting, the emperor's intention, the Black Scale Battalion will not be controlled by the military department from now on." ā
Duan Canghai said with a smile: "The people on the side of the military department are waiting for the golden sword, and I have always been worried that they will not point fingers at us in the future, but this is good, I don't need to look at their eyes in the future." Then he frowned and said, "Master Hou, I don't know when the soldier's salary will be allocated?" In a short period of time, the humble position can still be withheld, but after a long time, I am afraid that the people will not be convinced. ā
Qi Ning said: "The salary of the Black Scale Battalion will be directly allocated by the household department in the future, and within these two days, it should be able to be allocated, anyway, I have already left a message, give them a few days, if it is still delayed, you directly pull some people over, and I will take you to the household department to urge." ā
Duan Canghai was born in the army, and he also likes to be ruthless, and when he heard that Qi Ning was going to lead the team to the household department to ask for salary, he became excited, and almost rolled up his sleeves, and said: "Master Hou, I'll go back and prepare, select some capable brothers, how many people do you need?" Is 200 enough? ā
"What are you excited about?" Qi Ning glared at him, "Bringing soldiers and horses into Beijing in a grand manner, do you want to find death?" At present, there are already people staring at Lao Tzu, I am afraid that Lao Tzu will not make trouble, you lead the troops into the city, and then someone will be caught. ā
Duan Canghai was a little embarrassed, and Qi Ning had already lowered his voice and said: "Bring thirty or forty good people, and when the time comes, you will enter the city in disguise, and don't wear military uniforms." Thinking of something, he waved his hand and said: "The emperor has a will, and the household department does not have the courage to resist the decree, the military salary should be able to be allocated, and bring people to the household department to urge the salary, that is also a last resort, if it is really at that time, I will send someone to inform you." ā
Duan Canghai nodded, and Qi Ning said in a low voice: "You remember, the Black Scale Battalion must be trained strictly, but you have to be careful, don't let the insects get in." ā
"Bugs?" Duan Canghai was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood, his thick eyebrows furrowed, and he asked softly, "Master Hou, is there any rumor?" ā
Qi Ning did not hide it, and told Duan Canghai everything about the early dynasty, Duan Canghai was surprised: "Master Hou is going to Eastern Qi?" ā
Qi Ning nodded and said: "The power of the Sima family has expanded, faster than I thought, today Feng Ruohai was killed as an example, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are even more silent about the Sima family from now on. ā
Duan Canghai nodded, and said in a low voice: "Hou Ye, although the people of our Hou Mansion will not have any problems, but there are accidents in everything, Hou Ye is one of the four major marquis of the empire, Sima Lan and Feng Ruohai have sent people to investigate, I am afraid that they have already extended their tentacles to our Hou Mansion, and we must be cautious." ā
"I'm prepared." Qi Ning said softly: "So on the other side of the Black Scale Camp, you also have to be cautious, don't let the miscellaneous fish get in, and become the eyes and ears to monitor the Black Scale Camp's every move." With a deep groan, his body was even closer, and the two of them were close to each other, and said softly: "The power of our Qi family is on the side of the Qinhuai Legion, but the Qinhuai Legion is stationed on the frontier, near the capital, the only trustworthy soldiers and horses in our hands is the Black Scale Battalion in your hand, in case something really happens, we can only rely on this army and horses." ā
Duan Canghai's expression was cold, and he said in a low voice: "Master Hou, do you think the Sima family really dares to rebel?" ā
"According to common sense, it probably won't." Qi Ning said: "Although the Sima family is extremely powerful in the court, the main source of his power is because of the emperor, he has the merit of supporting, there are many henchmen under his hands, there is the queen mother in the palace, plus the name of the auxiliary minister, 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. ā
Duan Canghai nodded and said: "Dou Kui is in charge of the household department, he is the person of the king of Huainan, and the current financial power should be in the hands of the king of Huainan and his party." Inside and outside the capital, the royal feather forest camp is naturally loyal to the emperor, but Chi Fengdian is a person who has been promoted by the Golden Dao Hou, and has a close relationship with the Golden Dao Hou, and the Xuanwu Camp stationed outside the capital, there are Sima Lan's people, there are also people from the Golden Dao Hou, and there are even people from our Qi family, which is quite chaotic, if something really happens, I really can't say how to choose. ā
"The Tantai family has the East China Sea Division, and the Xichuan Corps is also his sphere of influence, our Qi family has the Qinhuai Legion, and the soldiers and horses available in Sima Lan's hands are the Black Knife Battalion." Qi Ning said: "But Sima Lan is cunning and cunning, he brought down Feng Ruohai at the court meeting today, of course, because he wanted to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, but he also wanted to put his tentacles into the household." ā
"Oh?"
"Feng Ruohai's case can't end so quickly." Qi Ning sneered: "Sima Lan will not move, if he doesn't make a move, if he doesn't make a move, he will never be soft, Feng Ruohai is the first person to fall off the horse, and then he will definitely use this matter to make a big fuss and find out a large number of people, once these people fall off the horse, there will be many official vacancies, Sima Lan will naturally see the stitches and arrange his own people in." ā
Duan Canghai said: "Sima Lan is not only the prince of the town, but also the position of the secretary of the ministry, if there is a vacancy in the official, the ministry is the time to make waves." ā
"Sima Lan will take this opportunity to desperately suppress the household department, and then place his own people in the household department." Qi Ning sneered: "Dou Kui has the death protection of the King of Huainan, and the emperor doesn't want the strength of the King of 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." ā
"If Sima Lan controls the household department and holds the financial power, he will definitely use the financial power to control the military power near the capital as much as possible." Duan Canghai's expression was solemn: "Master Hou, if he really controls the military power, the consequences will be ......!" ā
Qi Ning nodded and said: "So we can't be idle, your duty is to train me a brave and warlike soldiers, if something really happens to the capital, whether it is the Qinhuai Army or the East China Sea Division, it is far from being able to quench the thirst of the near, and the whip is beyond the reach of the whip." ā
Duan Canghai said in a low voice: "Master Hou, the emperor asked the Black Scale Camp to rebuild, could it be that he thought of this?" Is he also worried that the Sima family will rebel? ā
"All things are foreseen, and nothing is foreseen." Qi Ning said: "I don't know if the emperor thinks so, but I have to think about the Qi family, if something really happens, there will be such a soldier and horse in the Jinyi Marquis Mansion to protect and protect it." ā
Duan Canghai nodded slightly, thought for a while, and then said: "Master Hou, Xue Lingfeng of the Tiger God Camp is also related to us, if something really happens, Xue Lingfeng ......!" ā
Qi Ning waved his hand and said: "Xue Lingfeng was indeed a general of the Qi family in the past, but he is now the commander of the Tiger God Battalion, the Tiger God Battalion is the soldiers and horses guarding the capital, as far as I know, the Tiger God Battalion is nominally controlled by the military department, but it has always been under the personal command of the emperor, after the death of the first emperor, Sima Lan became the minister of the auxiliary state, and these soldiers and horses in the capital, this auxiliary minister has the right to transfer. He lowered his voice and said, "Do you remember that when the first emperor died and the capital was under martial law, which two troops and horses were stationed in the capital?" ā
Duan Canghai said: "The Black Knife Battalion entered the city to change the defense of the Royal Forest Army, and the capital was garrisoned by the Tiger God Battalion. His body was shocked, and he frowned and said, "Master Hou, is it ....... Xue Lingfeng!" ā
Qi Ning shook his head and said: "I don't know, maybe he is still looking at our Qi family in his heart, maybe in times of crisis, he will really help us, but we can't put our own safety in the hands of Xue Lingfeng, people's hearts are unpredictable, only by controlling our own destiny can we be foolproof." ā
When Duan Canghai heard this, his heart warmed and he was grateful.
Qi Ning handed over the Black Scale Camp to him, and if the safety of the Qi family was also handed over to him, he showed great trust in him, which moved Duan Canghai's heart, and said softly: "Hou Ye, your subordinates understand, you can rest assured, from now on, your subordinates will use one day as two days, fight for their lives, and also train a brave and good fighting elite soldier for Hou Ye." ā
Duan Canghai was born in the army, although he was well-informed, but after all, he was a martial artist, and he couldn't understand many twists and turns in the court, and at this time, Qi Ning reminded him, and Duan Canghai woke up in an instant.
He thought that the emperor was to support the Jinyi Qi family, so he wanted the Qi family to rebuild the black scale camp, he always thought that one day, this black scale battalion may still appear on the front-line battlefield, and the Northern Han people to fight each other, at this time it suddenly became clear that Qi Ning wanted to train the black scale camp hard, but the main purpose was to guard against the 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 is related to the safety of the Qi family, Duan Canghai naturally feels that he must 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 for a long time, Duan Canghai immediately went back to the barracks, and personally sent Duan Canghai out of the mansion, it was almost dusk, Qi Ning turned around and returned to the mansion, and heard a voice outside: "This brother, help report it, the villain was ordered to invite the Hou Ye!" ā
Qi Ning turned his head and saw that it was a thick-bearded man, the man was stunned for a moment when he saw Qi Ning, and then stepped forward and said respectfully: "Master Hou!" ā
Qi Ning felt that this man was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while, and asked, "Who are you?" How do you know me? ā
"The villain is from the Tian family's medicine store, and he used to ..... I have no eyes before, and I have offended the ..... Hou Ye! The man was a little embarrassed: "The villain's surname is Shen, and his name is Shen Lian!" ā
Qi Ning immediately sounded, when he entered the Tian house because of the ring, he was forced to marry by Mrs. Tian, and when he was about to leave, it was this big man who led someone to stop him, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be you, looking for me something?" ā
Shen Lian saw that although Qi Ning was a brocade waiter, he didn't have the slightest swagger, so he hurriedly bowed down and said: "Hou Ye, it was Mrs. who sent the villain over to ask Hou Ye if he had time, she set up a banquet in the mansion, and said that there was a jar of fine wine that had been treasured for many years, if Hou Ye had time, I would like to invite Hou Ye to go over to taste the wine." He added: "Madame originally wanted to come by herself, but she said that it was a woman's family, and it was a little inconvenient to come over to invite Hou Ye, so she sent a villain over and asked Hou Ye to forgive me!" ā
Qi Ning smiled: "A good wine that has been treasured for many years? True or false, how did your wife become so generous? Knowing that Mrs. Tian was still for the affairs of the Tai Hospital, she thought that there was nothing else to do at night anyway, and it was okay to go around in the past, so she nodded and said, "You go back first, I'll go over by myself later." ā
Shen Lianxi said: "That villain will go back immediately to report!" He bowed and turned away.
