Chapter 12 Accountability
While Ning Yu was sleeping soundly, Diao Wang's soldiers carried the body back to the camp. Originally, these people planned to throw away the body and divide the money among themselves, but they were worried that it would be leaked, and they might go to the vegetable market After walking around, I had to stiffen my neck and go to see the Shangguan.

The seat of the government of De'an Prefecture is in Anlu, so the Qing army in Yunmeng County is only a flood area, and the highest rank is only a six-rank Qianzong. cronies.

Qian Ying was originally not in the camp, but recently learned that Man Pi, the right servant of the Ministry of Industry, acting as the deputy governor of Huguang, has been promoted to the left servant. At that time, the governor's mansion and Huguang general officer may check the military equipment and weapons of the barracks.

But Qian Ying's family knew about their own family affairs. The ordinary swords and shields in this camp were fine, but there was a lot of shortage of shotguns and artillery, and most of the remaining ones were useless. When the time came, they would not be able to do business. Dare to stay.

In the eyes of many people in later generations, the impression of the Qing Dynasty has always remained at the level of "only focusing on horseback riding and shooting". In fact, in the Qing Dynasty in the Kangxi era, artillery was in a leading position in the world in terms of technology and quantity. .

Because Manchuria itself was able to take over the world, in fact, it relied on artillery to take down those strong cities in Liaodong, and then during the Kangxi period to pacify San Francisco and take over Taiwan, and even to pacify Junggar, all relied on guns and artillery. In the words of Yongzheng later, artillery It is "the most important weapon in the army".

Therefore, in today's green battalion, there are four-foot-long "Golden Dragon Cannons", five-foot-long rear-mounted "Sub-Mother Cannons", and "Fantasy Cannons" fired from wooden tripods, all of which are fierce and can be easily carried on the grassland. Field artillery, as well as the "Shenwei Invincible General" cannon weighing a thousand catties and the "General Yonggu Cannon" weighing eight thousand catties.

Of course, in Qian Ying's flooded area, there were only some mother-child cannons, but now these cannons are difficult to use, and it is really impossible to make a difference.

At this time, Diao Wang's soldiers carried up Diao Wang's body, which made Qian Ying's ugly face even darker. This Diao Wang had nothing to do with him, but it was him after all. The subordinates in the battalion also have a foreign commissioner to take care of the general shortage.

The foreign commissioner is only a temporary establishment, not an official seventh-rank "management official", but he is also his subordinate, and now he is killed, and it is his own face.

Qian Ying asked with a dark face: "Shangguan was killed, why didn't you take down the thief, did you accept the thief's benefits?" These words almost made these soldiers pee their pants.

A soldier bravely took out a name card from his pocket and said, "I heard that the murderer claimed to be the son of the Ning family in Hanyang. This is his name card."

Qian Ying took the name card, glanced at it, and threw it on the table. She took a sip from the teacup, but instead of the original anxiety, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and then she asked the soldiers to call an old boy over.

This old boy was Qian Ying's clerk in the camp, and any written communication was made for this old boy. It's a mess, but it's not difficult to write letters.

When Lao Tongsheng spread out the letter paper, sharpened the ink, and held the brush in his hand, Qian Ying thought about it while dictating, and asked Lao Tongsheng to write.

"Today, I ordered you to go to Yunmeng, and there was a quarrel with the subordinate, the general manager Diao Wang, and they fought each other, causing Diao Wang's death. It needs to be resolved properly. I heard that the governor's yamen may check the military affairs. The artillery in the camp is old and dilapidated. "

Although Qian Ying didn't dare to bite at will, she didn't want to let go of this great opportunity, so she wrote a letter to Ning Zhongyuan asking for guns based on this matter. Officials are under the jurisdiction or control of the highest local civil servants. Even though Ning Zhongyuan is a third-rank guerrilla general, he has no right to control Qian Zong in Yunmeng County next door. Even the governor, admiral, chief soldier and governor also have their own pacesetters. Except for the few officers and soldiers of the standard, they do not directly control other town association battalions.

This kind of messy and trivial military system makes the generals not subordinate to each other, so naturally they cannot control them.It was precisely because of this that Qian Ying planned to beat Ning Zhongyuan. As for whether Diao Wang was wronged, who would remember now?
After a few days like this, Ning Yu saw that no one was looking for him to be held accountable, and he knew in his heart that the matter was over. Presumably, the family was behind the scenes, so he couldn't help but sigh with emotion. In this era, don't talk about ordinary people. In the eyes of many people, the boss who is terribly difficult to deal with is just an ant that can be trampled to death at any time in the eyes of some people.

However, there were waves in the hearts of the young people in the camp, and Ning Yu's status in their hearts changed a lot.If it is said that the former teenagers regarded Ning Yu as a father and brother, but now they have added a bit of awe.

Ning Qianqiu returned to the Young Eagle Camp from Ning's house, and then brought back a news to Ning Yu, that a family meeting would be held in five days, and asked Ning Yu to prepare and go back quickly.

The Ning family holds a family meeting every year, but it is usually at the end of the year. If there are important matters, the family meeting will be held temporarily to unify thoughts.

Ning Yu is also planning to communicate with his father Ning Zhongyuan. Although it has been several months since his rebirth, the father and son have spent very little time together.Even though Ning Zhongyuan is aware of what Ning Yu is doing now, it is after all a moon in the water, flowers in the mist, separated by a layer of sandpaper.

For Ning Yu, if he wants to do something in this era, he first needs to gather the power of his family. If he just fights alone, no matter how hard he tries, it will be difficult to change his situation.

Although the Ning family is not rich and noble, it is also a powerful local faction. The power accumulated over the past hundred years is enough to accomplish some things. For example, if there is no family support for the Young Eagle Camp today, it is impossible for Ning Yu to pull the A team of more than [-] people, not to mention a student soldier who is not productive.

Behind this, there are both Ning Yu's hard work and the Ning family's silent contribution. Those massive supplies are proof. Therefore, Ning Yu's real priority in this era is not the Young Eagle Camp, not the mineral salt, but to use The identity of the young master of the Ning family is to gain the recognition of the tribe and to unite the greatest strength. This is his true foothold.

This is also why in the past thousands of years of history, no matter who became the emperor, the first thing to do was to cut off the power of the aristocratic family, because this kind of large family and large group was itself an unstable factor.If there is turmoil, these big families will also be the targets of confrontation with the imperial power. The two have fought each other for thousands of years, and in the end no one can do anything to the other.

Whether it was the Qianghao family in the Western Han Dynasty who enriched the mausoleum system in Guanzhong, or the imperial examinations in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it was the suppression and division of local power factions by centralization, while the family politics in the Wei and Jin Dynasties and the big landlords in the Song and Ming Dynasties The bureaucracy is a way of resistance for the aristocratic family.

In the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, which is now known as the peak of the feudal period, the local faction represented by Ning Yu still needs to go a long way.
