Chapter 39 The Peach Blossom Mountain Bandits

After Ning Yu returned to Ning's old house, he found that his father and others had gathered together, as if they were waiting for his arrival.

Today's Ning Yu has used his own actions to prove his ability, and has also won a lot of praise from the clan. His prestige in the clan is rising day by day, and no one can shake his position as the young patriarch .

Therefore, Ning Zhongyuan and his brothers would listen to his opinions on many things, but it was very rare that everyone was waiting for him like this time.

However, everyone's faces were a bit gloomy, and Ning Zhonghai looked like he was about to kill, his face turned black ruthlessly. The last time Ning Yu saw it, it was someone in Ning Zhonghai's private salt team who ate inside and outside, and was fed to the dog.

Ning Yu asked curiously, "What's going on? So many uncles working together to discuss?"

Ning Zhongyuan said in a low voice: "Something went wrong with the private salt. A batch of our salt was robbed by the Taohua Mountain here. The men who held the salt were all beheaded, and two people were sent back with their lives."

Ning Yu took a breath of cold air. This matter is not big or small, but there are not many robbers who dare to be so arrogant and domineering in this Huguang area, and even dare to touch Ning's head. There was something odd about things.

Ning Zhonghai said in a low voice: "The guys under me are all fucking tough, and they didn't say a word of softness. I have to avenge them." murderous look.

When did the Ning family suffer such a big loss?

Ning Zhongjing sighed slightly, with an anxious expression on his face, and said: "I'm afraid this matter is not that simple. I know Taohuashan, it's a gang of bandits, and they don't dare to offend our Ning family on weekdays. Heart leopard courageous, I'm afraid there are other backers."

The so-called bandits can be divided into exile bandits and sitting bandits. Exile bandits are desperadoes. There is nothing they dare not do. Don't dare to do things too extreme, otherwise, once the power is weak, it will be the day of their extinction.

After all, Ning Zhongyuan was from a military background, he acted swiftly and resolutely, and he didn't want to say anything more. He waved his hand and said, "I'll write an essay for the new governor to clean up Peach Blossom Mountain. If the local green battalion is not effective, please transfer me to the Hanyang battalion."

In the current system of the Qing Dynasty, each defense area is the responsibility of the town army. If something goes wrong, the governor needs to issue an order to support across regions, otherwise it will be a rebellion.This kind of system makes it difficult for the towns and soldiers in various places to concentrate their forces when fighting chaos, so it often leads to small chaos becoming big.

Ning Yu thought about it and said: "I'm afraid it's impossible, father, my Ning family will definitely not openly clear Taohua Mountain this time, it will only arouse suspicion for no reason. If someone is interested, this batch of private salt will leak out. I'm afraid it will be difficult to clean up by then."

No matter how you do it, you need to act in the current environment, otherwise it will only arouse the covetousness of others. Even if the Ning family can resist one or two, it will be difficult to resist the reach out of a higher level.

Ning Zhongyuan sighed softly: "If the problem cannot be solved immediately, the road to private salt will be difficult in the future, and it will be difficult to explain whether it is internal or external. Now this private salt business is not ours. family business."

This passage reveals the helplessness of the Ning family's current situation. Due to the establishment of Huitong Bank, the Ning family has become the leader of all the families in Huguang. However, it has just been established after all, and many hidden strengths have not been tapped. , causing the Ning family to be unable to fully digest this piece of fat.

At this time, the bonds that hold the Ning family and other families are currently in Yan and Qianzhuang. If Yan is abolished, the current loose alliance may fall apart.Therefore, the Ning family can't choose to be tolerant and retreat in this matter, but it is difficult to use all their strength in a head-to-head encounter, and it is easy to suffer a big loss.

Ning Yu couldn't help sighing secretly in his heart: "There are no simple people in this world nowadays, and someone has set up a huge problem for the Ning family without saying a word." Looking back at the expressions of the brothers of the Ning family , It is also very embarrassing, and I have thought of this point when I think about it.

Ning Yu thought for a moment, then said: "Official powers cannot be mobilized, but we can mobilize our own power. For example, in my Young Eagle Camp, the sword has just been formed, but now it's time to sharpen it."

Ning Zhongyi has been stationed in Yunmeng for a long time, so he is quite familiar with the situation of the Young Eagle Battalion, and he often goes to give some guidance. He frowned slightly and said: "I have seen the soldiers of your Young Eagle Battalion. They are all good seedlings, but I am worried that these guys will be born with melon eggs, and I am afraid that they will pee when they go to the battlefield to fight."

Ning Yu said firmly: "Because of this, the Young Eagle Battalion should be let in. I will personally command the battle this time."

Ning Zhongyi didn't say any more, but Ning Zhongyuan frowned, and said sternly: "The first battle must be won, otherwise I would rather take the risk of using the Hanyang camp. This is not only related to the safety of your Ning family, but also related to success. thousands of lives."

Ning Zhongjing hesitated, and said: "I have dealt with Taohuashan, and now there are about 1000 bandits, and there are at least 600 soldiers who can fight. I think there are only more than 400 people in the Young Eagle Battalion. There are only 200 people fighting. Is this too risky?"

But Ning Yu knelt down and said resolutely: "This battle must be won, if not, my battalion of young eagles will die in Peach Blossom Mountain, and I, Ning Yu, will also die in Peach Blossom Mountain!"

These words were earth-shattering, and Ning Zhongyuan's admiring expression inevitably brought a bit of worry.This has been a major event for military strategists since ancient times. No matter how unpredictable the situation is, there has never been a reason for victory, but since Ning Yu has said so, Ning Zhongyuan can't show his affection.

Ning Yu smiled and said: "This battle has achieved three major victories. The soldiers of my Young Eagle Battalion practiced every day and never dared to slack off. Now the first company and the second company are elite soldiers with high morale, while Taohuashan However, there is a gang of gangsters who worry about their livelihood every day, even if there are five or six hundred people, they are untrained and have limited fighting power, so this is a big victory."

"Secondly, it is because the flintlock guns equipped by my Young Eagle Battalion are extremely advanced. After two days after all the new flintlock guns are delivered, the first company and the second company can be fully equipped, and Taohuashan is full of big guns. Blades, there are only a few shotguns, and the equipment is extremely simple, so this is the second big victory."

These words were spoken heartily, and the brothers of the Ning family listened with gusto. From time to time, some people nodded in response, and they all listened to it.

Ning Yu said again: "Finally, it's because all the soldiers in my Young Eagle Battalion are fluent in literature and ink, and they also know what ambition is in their hearts, and their desire for victory is extremely strong. What the dead bandits can't compare to, this is the third biggest victory."

"In short, when my Young Eagle Battalion wins, it will be the time when all the bandits in Taohua Mountain will be wiped out!"

　After returning from a business trip, we will resume two updates starting tomorrow. Thank you for your support.
