"How can this be reasonable, it's really bold, what do these chaotic parties want to do, is there still a court in their eyes, and do they still look at these of us parents and officials in their eyes, they dare to pull out a team under our noses, it's really killable!"

Sure enough, as Qiao Yu expected, after he handed over this letter of appointment to Niu Chuanshan along with some of the seized correspondence, it immediately caused an earthquake in the officialdom of Yucheng, and even Zhu Youji, the master of Dongchuan Daotai, who had been going deep into Jian, showed up, and this old scholar was already so angry that his face turned blue and his beard trembled.

"Lord Daotai, you should have an idea, these chaotic parties and bandits colluded together, fortunately Shun Qing saw through it and destroyed the den of Tiangang Village, otherwise once the inside and outside should be united, I am afraid that our Yucheng will be shaken, don't talk about you and me at that time, even the surname will be in danger!"

Zhu Youji reluctantly settled down, grabbed the letter of appointment and looked at it: "Shunqing, here it is said that it is the third detachment, is there still the first and second detachment?" ”

"Back to the adult's words, it seems to be like this, Dongchuan has many mountains, few flat land, there are bandits of all sizes hidden in this mountain, these people have collusion with the party, and the party is mixed with the chaotic party, with the strength of these people, if it is prepared, this Dongchuan except for Yucheng, I am afraid that no city can hold it!" Qiao Yu naturally would not let go of the opportunity to intimidate these officials, so there was a threat in and out of his words, and Zhu Youji's face was very solemn.

"Lord Niu, how many people are available in Yucheng now?"

"Lord Daotai, there are still 2,000 patrol battalions, and more than 1,500 people in the water battalion guarding the port, a new army artillery team, hundreds of old patrol officers, and some green battalions that have not been dismissed, and the rest are Shunqing's 2,000 newly trained patrol officers, to be honest, except for the people in Shunqing's hands, the rest are not reliable, not only are their combat effectiveness low, but they are all very seriously infiltrated, and they are not useful at all."

As soon as Zhu Youji heard Niu Chuanshan say this, the two of them were also staring at each other, it was useless to slap the table at the end of the matter, the key was to come up with a way to deal with it, and was silent for a long time, Zhu Youji was more experienced after all, and said: "In this way, you and I will explain the situation in Yucheng to the Governor, and ask him to send some new troops to come to suppress it, and then add more burdens to Shunqing, and the hundreds of original patrol officers will also be handed over to Shunqing, and the patrol battalion will also be handed over to him, and we will take out another 200,000 taels of silver, all of which will be used to strengthen the patrol police, Shunqing, What do you think? ”

Although Qiao Yu was happy in his heart, he still looked sincerely frightened on his face: "It is my duty to serve the imperial court, I can manage the original patrol police, but the patrol battalion is the imperial army, I am not a soldier, and second, I have no orders, it is really difficult to interfere, and I can't manage it!" ”

"Then the patrol battalion will be released temporarily, you can take care of all the patrol officers, Shunqing, I still have a friendship with your father, and now we have overwhelmed your worth and life, Shunqing, you must not be negligent!"

"Boss, don't worry, as long as I, Qiao Shunqing, am here, there will definitely be no chaos in Yucheng!"

Out of the palace, Qiao Yu's heart is full of ambition, now most of the power in Yucheng has fallen into his own hands, it is just the time to show his skills, he must expand his strength as soon as possible, especially to thoroughly train the patrol police in his hands into an army, only with enough strength can he firmly grasp Sichuan in his own hands, and can he firmly occupy the lead in the cruel warlord conquest in the future.

At this time, a few businessmen were gathered in the Bai Mansion, everyone was discussing things, it turned out that due to a falling out with the Elders, although everyone's shops in Chongqing City were safe, but some other counties, and even Chengdu were affected by some impacts, everyone wanted to ask for a countermeasure, but Qiao Yu was not there, Bai Kuan could not be the master, and at this time Qiao Yu came back from the mansion with people.

"Shunqing, are you back, have you rescued the eldest daughter-in-law? Why did you go to the prefect's yamen as soon as you came back, and you didn't go home first to say a word! ”

"Uncle, don't worry, everything is safe, this time I found some important things in Tiangang Village, and I had to hand them over to the yamen first! Makes you worry for a long time! ”

"Shunqing, I found something, I don't know if you can tell us!" Wang Dongcheng asked with a smile.

"What's not to do, it's a letter of appointment, a letter of appointment given by the revolutionary party to the bandits!"

None of the people present were idiots, openly appointing officials, this is a blatant rebellion, no wonder Qiao Yu would hand over the things as soon as possible.

Wang Gui is the most clever, and he keenly noticed that Qiao Yu seemed to have a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Shunqing, what good things can't be done?" ”

"It's really a good thing, that is, Lord Daotai has asked me to merge all the original patrol police, and make every effort to maintain the law and order of Yucheng and prevent rebellion!"

Qiao Yu's power expanded, and everyone was also happy, everyone was prosperous and lost, they were all grasshoppers on a rope, they wished that Qiao Yu's power would become strong and protect their safety, now that the court is no longer reliable, everyone knows it in their hearts.

Xue Shanxin was more anxious, and said: "Shunqing, we came to ask you for an idea this time, and now our business routes are always disturbed by the Elders' Association, although the loss is not big, but it is also a real headache, what do you think we should do?" ”

Qiao Yu was worried about this after catching Gu Jinlong again, but the elder brother would not make any moves, so he relaxed, but he didn't expect them to start it.

"Wasn't the elder brother quite honest some time ago, why did he suddenly dare to come out again to disrupt our trade routes?"

Bai Kuan smiled bitterly and said: "Shunqing, you don't know the situation, Gu Jinlong and the others escaped from the prison, and the day after you left, Han Yong wanted to pursue, but he was worried that he would divert the tiger from the mountain, and these people ran too fast, so they didn't chase back, and as soon as they fled, the situation became chaotic." ”

Qiao Yu is really speechless about this strange Qing Zheng axe now, such an important person can't look at it, I really don't know what they are doing to eat, no wonder a gang of rabble can make them busy, these people are also full of straw rice buckets.

"Ladies and gentlemen, something has happened, it has to be solved, I think our chamber of commerce is now very strong, we simply learn from the chambers of commerce in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to form their own arms, relying on guns to protect the safety of the trade routes, now this world is becoming more and more unsafe, without a little armed force, our huge family business is difficult to guarantee that there will be no problems!"

Everyone present was not surprised when they heard that Qiao Yu was going to form an arm, some of them already had this idea, but it just depends on Qiao Yu's meaning, and now everyone thinks of it, it is naturally the best.

"I think everything will be handed over to Shunqing to do, this is also a person who can work hard, we just have to pay for it!" Xue Shan's proposal was supported by many people, but there were still doubts in the hearts of some people.

Xu Hua is one of them: "Mr. Qiao, let's build an arm, won't the imperial court interfere?" ”

The three hundred years of the Qing Dynasty still have some effect, although the country is about to die, but the name of a court is still heavy in the hearts of everyone.

"The imperial court is now in turmoil, not only will not interfere, on the contrary, they will not wait for us to build a team, just let us deal with the revolutionary party, we can amplify the ambition greater, now in Europe and the United States, the strength of the political axe is often not the largest, the real control of the Western powers is those powerful consortia, the election, control the national policy, everyone started with industry, we don't have to become the servants of the court at all, but can compete with the court, and even overpower the court!"

This era is the era of capital, Chinese businessmen are much worse than their foreign counterparts in terms of ambition, at most they collude with the government, but they have to endure the black and black of the government, far from the courage to control the political axe in their own hands, Qiao Yu is also the first time to show this ambition in front of these businessmen, and Qiao Yu is very proud to see everyone who is in shock.

"We want to overpower the imperial court, not to rebel like the revolutionary party, but to rely on our influence to let the imperial court formulate policies that are in line with our interests and serve us!"

"Isn't this constitutional?" Someone suddenly asked.

"Yes and no! The constitution is a petition, to put it bluntly, it is to beg others, we not only ask for it, but also have the strength to force the court to listen to us! ”
