Wang Dongcheng was the most scheming, lowered his head and thought about it slightly, and sighed: "Shunqing, when I set up the company, I also coveted the interests and wanted to join in, but Pu Dianjun, Luo Lun and others looked down on us, and the benefits were all taken by them, but now it seems that this may not be a good thing, but once Sichuan is in chaos, it doesn't seem to be any good for us, the most important thing in this business is local stability, if it is messed up, no one can bear it!" ”

"Boss Wang's high opinion, so now the most important thing for us is to have a strong force, when the crisis comes, we can stabilize the place, the first point is to have a strong army, I have made a plan, no matter how the court deals with this rebellion, I am ready to eat the patrol battalion in one bite, continue to expand the original patrol police, strengthen training, protect the trade routes, and at the same time firmly guard Yucheng, with Dongchuan as the foundation, even if something big happens, we can bear it, But this all depends on the concerted efforts of all of you here, further, we can keep the industrial base of Chongqing, and at the same time can develop better, we are still in the stage of light industry, I have arranged for people to look for minerals, I believe that after a period of time, we can enter the heavy industry.

Only with our own heavy industry, our own production of steel, and manufacturing machines, can we completely get rid of the constraints of foreigners, and can we have the confidence to control everything, but if we take a step back, Sichuan will be in turmoil, and even the family business we have now may not be able to be preserved. Qiao Yu knew that the more he was at such a critical moment, the more he had to beat these businessmen, so that they could follow him with all their hearts, and sure enough, everyone present thought about it for a while, and they expressed their support and resolutely stood on the united front with Qiao Yu.

It's easy to unify the understanding, and the next thing is to transfer manpower from all over the place, enter the counties, supervise the taxation, and deal with some of the remaining green battalions in the local area, originally from 1906 onwards, the green battalion was eliminated and reorganized, and the patrol army was established, but the efficiency of the Qing court was really not flattering, and now there are still a large number of green battalions in the local area, and now Qiao Yu is ready to strengthen law and order, and these green battalions are under control, after all, they are not enough, but there are still more than enough failures, From now on, the army on the ground in Yucheng can only be surnamed Qiao, and everyone else will stand aside.

After arranging the Chamber of Commerce, Qiao Yu went straight to the Daotai Yamen again, now that most of the matter has been dealt with, and finally he has to explain to these officials, Zhu Youji's old man saw Qiao Yu coming, his face was full of iron, not to mention how ugly it was, Niu Chuanshan was the same, Qiao Yu didn't care about their attitude, and said with a smile: "Lord Zhu, Lord Niu, now the rebellion in the patrol camp has been completely suppressed, but some bandit leaders are still on the run and have not been captured, but Yucheng has returned to normal, As for what to do next, please tell me! ”

"Humph! I also asked the old man what he was doing, you Qiao Yu will do it alone, I think you are the leader of the chaotic party, a complete annihilator! Zhu Youji said angrily, twisting his face, he didn't seem to want to talk to Qiao Yu more, but Niu Chuanshan didn't dare to do this, Zhu Youji and Qiao Yu's father once met, how can it be regarded as a period of incense, the old man sent a few words and scratched it is nothing, if Niu Chuanshan talks like this, then wait to eat peanuts!

"Shunqing, the boss is a little tired, don't be surprised, the market has settled down? Didn't any of the leaders of the rebellious party be caught? ”

"Lord Niu, more than a dozen families were robbed last night, and there are a few properties that should not be set on fire, but the patrol police acted overnight, and caught more than 200 rebels who took advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, and some hooligans and bandits, and now the market is completely back to normal, but the leader of the chaotic party has indeed not been caught, and you must also know that Sun Wen and others have launched rebellions many times over the years, and the imperial court has not caught it! Yucheng is a place of trade in Kaifu, Chinese and foreign people live together, they fled to the concession, and then escaped with the help of foreigners, we have no way at all! ”

"Yes, yes! Is there anything else going on with Shunqing? ”

"I'm here to ask the patrol battalion what to do, whether to restore the establishment or reorganize it?"

Qiao Yu asked this, Niu Chuanshan and Zhu Youji were secretly scolding in their hearts, after a turmoil, now there are a large number of officers in the patrol battalion, people's hearts are floating, how difficult it is to restore the original establishment, naturally it will not work, then the rectification is undoubtedly handed over to Qiao Yu for rectification, and it is undoubtedly that this force has fallen into the hands of Qiao Yu again, and will they still have the right to speak in this Yucheng territory in the future?

But if you don't agree, you can't do it, not only Qiao Yu's side can't explain, but the same is true for the court's side, if something so big happens, just let it go! Zhu Youji and Niu Chuanshan glanced at each other, and Zhu Youji said: "In this way, I will play the new governor, and ask him to make a decision, for the time being, I will transfer the elite from the patrol police, and combine them with the patrol battalion to form a patrol army, and you will be temporarily receiving, and the original deputy commander of the patrol battalion, He Xin, is a capable person, so I will be your deputy, what do you think?" ”

Qiao Yu smiled secretly in his heart, at this time, the old guy still didn't forget to mix sand for himself, but it was okay, this arrangement would not arouse the suspicion of outsiders, so he nodded in agreement.

The power of the chamber of commerce must be strengthened, and at the same time, the administrative power in the urban area must also be taken into hands, the community must be formed, the local area must be firmly controlled, and preparations must be made to compete with local forces to prevent the landlords from counterattacking, and the most important thing is to store a large number of arms and step up the training of the army.

Time flies, it has come to May, the news of the failure of the Huanghuagang uprising has also reached Yucheng, for Shi Yi, Su Ding, Yu Jianxiong and other three young people are the most shocked, it turns out that they have been arguing with Qiao Yu since they have been dissatisfied, but with the failure of the Huanghuagang uprising, once again the facts have proved that there are serious problems in the alliance, those who died are indeed brave, fearless, for the country and the people, sacrifice their lives, but their reception is really too bad, organizational, Militarily it is rotten to a certain extent, and there is not much to be desired except for the speed of escape and the loud slogans.

The three of them finally decided to let go of their burdens, completely devoted themselves to Qiao Yu's men, and entered the newly formed patrol army, starting from the most ordinary officer, Shi Dingzhong's big stone in his heart also put down, and began to devote himself to the recruitment and rectification of the army.

On this day, the wind and the beauty, the sun shines warmly on the body, very comfortable, Qiao Yu and Bai Kuan and others are waiting for the arrival of the old man Qiao Guangyuan on the dock in Yucheng, since the sister-in-law Zhang Xia was kidnapped, Qiao's family began to worry about their own situation, although the hometown is good, but the situation is becoming more and more turbulent, bandits in the countryside are rampant, the most important thing is to find a bandit spy at home, the one who betrayed Zhang Xia's whereabouts was a groom of the Qiao family, and later was caught by Qiao Cheng when he passed the book to Chen Heihu Feige, after this incident, the old man became more and more uneasy, and the two sons were in Yucheng, and it was not convenient to come and go, so the second elder asked people to clean up the family property and prepare to settle in Yucheng.

After all, it is a big family, there are more soft things, so it is a waterway, this day finally arrived in Yucheng, the old man Qiao Guangyuan looked very energetic, and got off the boat with Mrs. Bai, Qiao Yu and Qiao Cheng supported their parents and two elders, and were about to go home, suddenly a little newsboy waved a stack of newspapers and shouted loudly: "Outside!" Extra! The cabinet list was announced, and all seven of them were royalty! ”

The old man Qiao Guangyuan had a good ear, and when he heard this, he hurriedly asked Qiao Yu to quickly buy a copy of the newspaper, Qiao Guangyuan couldn't wait to take out his reading glasses, open the newspaper, and watch it carefully!

After watching it for a long time, the old man's expression was gloomy, and he sighed: "After all, he still doesn't trust us!" Let's go, let's talk about it at home! ”
