Chapter 183: The Wind and the Drizzle
Lin Zexu came to Yunnan in mid-June, the news has not been leaked, now is the time for Yang Lin to test each other, what the Yang family did, what Lin Zexu did, the two families are silently watching, once something that shouldn't happen happens, it will announce the breakdown of cooperation.
During this time, Lin Zexu also made an appointment with a few officials in Yunnan, who did not have relatives and friends, and some things could not be hidden, through these officials, Lin Zexu once again took care of the situation in Yunnan, which was also a test for the Yang family.
But it's a little late to do these now, Lin Zexu shouldn't have sent his fellow villager and guest Liu Cunren to Yunnan, and when he met Yang Meng, he didn't know if Lin Zexu was lucky or unlucky.
Many of Lin Zexu's ideas were passed on to Yang Meng by Liu Cunren, and with these, Xu Ziwei and Wei Wu also roughly deduced the path Lin Zexu was going to take.
"Lin Zexu deserves to be called a tiger minister! can bend and stretch, he is going to be cold to Yunnan, He Changling fell, Li Xingyuan escaped, and Yunnan officialdom was very impetuous.
Western Yunnan has been in turmoil for many years, and the mood of returning is also very impetuous, and the time for Du Wenxiu and others to return to Yunnan was set by him at the end of the year, this trick is clever!
With this period of cooling, even if the Yongchang case is not tried according to people's wishes, the stability of Yunnan can be largely guaranteed. ”
Wei Wu is quite in favor of Lin Zexu's methods, Yunnan is now a hot soup, it is already boiling, plus the fire, it will only boil the soup dry, if you remove the bottom fire, let him cool down slowly.
"Mr. Wei, this Lin Zexu is nothing more than that! He ignored Yongchang's whistle practice and the Seven Incense Sticks, these people were not officials and did not understand the way the imperial court handled things. I'm afraid of this Yongchang case. It won't be that easy.
But Lin Zexu's method is still very useful. As you said, even if the Yongchang case was unfair, going back there would not necessarily be trouble. But it's hard for us to resolve this resentment!
Lin Zexu is a person from the imperial court, and he only acts according to the strategy of the imperial court! But Yunnan is our territory, and we must not let Shen Zhenda and the people of the Seven Incense Club mess up our layout.
Third master, didn't you take over the bidding of the Chinese army! When something happens in western Yunnan, you can ask Ying to come over and kill them. In addition to our relationship with Du Wenxiu, as long as we show our attitude and do something practical, the matter of return is not unsolvable. ”
Xu Ziwei's opinion is that he starts from the Yang family, although Lin Zexu's countermeasures are good, they are not conducive to the Yang family's control of western Yunnan, and it is okay to return to the power in western Yunnan, they are always chaotic, and it is not good for anyone.
"Hmmm! You're right. Lin Zexu's methods are clever, but we also have to have our own plans. The matter of western Yunnan is also an opportunity, Shen Zhenda is a participant in the Yongchang slaughter, he and that Shen Jucheng should die, but Li Xingyuan leaked Shen Zhenda, he is a trouble, and when he has the opportunity, the people of Jinji Village will be eliminated.
The Hui on the Baoshan side has been properly killed, but there are still many radical Hui high-level leaders in western Yunnan, they can't stay, they are different from the Hui people, they are the ones who instigated rebellions several times, and they are the masterminds behind the Hui rebellion.
With Lin Zexu's trial of the Yongchang Tuhui case this time, plus the nineteen or twenty years of the case, these people are all implicated, and while suppressing Shen Zhenda and the Seven Incense Society, we must also suppress them.
When the Yongchang case was concluded, it was just after the end of the year, and the Huihui people in western Yunnan must have been angry in their hearts, and they happened to take their property and release it to their clansmen, let's be this good person. ”
Xu Ziwei is right, Yunnan is now the territory of the Yang family, and everything must be leveled with a bowl of water, otherwise Yunnan, where all ethnic groups live together, will not be easy to govern.
"Third master, Lin Zexu's main purpose is to stabilize Yunnan and promote the resurgence of Yunnan copper. This is easier said than done. He can't get rid of the hands and feet of the court, we have to have our own strategy.
The whistle training of the Seven Incense Club and Yongchang is a stumbling block for us to control Yunnan, so we might as well let them run rampant first, and then we will go down to the killer and say the past, otherwise we will be stunned to suppress them, I am afraid that the Han gentry will be dissatisfied.
Lin Zexu wants to conclude the Yongchang case, there will inevitably be a conflict with them, and the green camp in Yunnan is not available, when the time comes, your supervision is the sword in Lin Zexu's hand, when you use the army, you only need to add a little force, it is the end of Yongchang's sentinel and the seven incense clubs. ”
This is the first time Wei Wu has given Yang Meng such an idea, this idea is really good, Yang Meng was a little stunned.
"Mr. Wei, why are you ......?"
What is Wei Wu's transformation for? This Yang Meng didn't quite understand, could it be Wei Zhiqing?
"Hey! It's not a little girl, and I don't know what means you used, this little girl will go home and nag me when she is free, there is no way!
You're going to have to treat my little girl, alas......"
Wei Wu is really a little helpless, in fact, it is still very good in the Yang family, he wants to eat, drink and drink, and his power is not small on weekdays, looking at Lin Zexu's appearance, Wei Wu feels a little balanced.
Once a son of heaven and a courtier, even if he recovers, how long can he support it?
"Good! I'll do to you as you treat me, and we'll see as we go. ”
At the beginning of July, the new governor transferred to Wumeng, entered Yunnan with great fanfare, and after inspecting the surrounding places, he took over the seal letter of the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou at the end of the month.
Regardless of whether Yunnan is stable or not, these three fires will be burned, and a few inconsequential corrupt officials have been dismissed, some redundant personnel have been dismissed, and some Yunnan officials have been promoted.
Many vacancies of the third and fourth grades, Lin Zexu also decided on a part of them by virtue of the power in his hands, and Yang Meng's deputy general title and Yang Yi's general vacancy were impressively listed.
What does this mean, the officials in Yunnan naturally know that the Lin and Yang families have joined forces, and the affairs of Yunnan have been settled.
Admonishing the gentry, opening warehouses to release grain, and closing some old cases, Lin Zexu's path was a little low-key, and many Yunnan officials whose hearts were hanging in the air also slowly settled down.
As for Yongchang, the hot spot of the Yunnan Rebellion, Lin Zexu also issued an edict to return the production, and whoever should be is whom. No matter how many times it gets to the hand. The returned property must be returned.
Lin Zexu. Just maintain the attitude of this newcomer, all the way to the gentle wind and drizzle, which is very different from the stormy and resolute and resolute imagined by the Yunnan gentry before.
Five million catties of Yunnan copper, also on the day Lin Zexu arrived, set off from Yanjin and walked slowly towards Beijing. Slow! It is what Yang Meng needs, and it is also what Lin Zexu needs.
Lin Qingtian arrived in Yunnan. also gave the Huihui a reassurance, plus the return of the Yongchang generation, the chaos in western Yunnan was silent.
Instead of dealing with the Yongchang case and corrupt officials, Lin Zexu's strategy has achieved great results in more than a month.
As for the actual situation, Lin Zexu knows very well that Yunnan is not the first time Lin Zexu has come. More than 20 years ago, he came to Yunnan as an examiner, and what was Yunnan like at that time. What is Yunnan like now, the imperial court has shown fatigue in Yunnan.
Lin Zexu did not pursue the Yongchang case, but Yongchang's sentry and officials were privately calculating, Shen Jucheng was still in detention, and the situation was not very good, more than a year in prison, Shen Jucheng was not a half-old man who could resist, Shen Jucheng couldn't hold out for a few days, and Shen Zhenda, who was about to take over the power of Yongchang whistle training, has slowly become arrogant recently.
Yang Meng is also watching this matter, Lin Zexu knows the facts of Yongchang's case, and he can be regarded as supporting Yongchang's return, but how this case is tried, Yang Meng still can't figure out Lin Zexu's vein.
Waiting for Du Wenxiu and others to be escorted back, the time is too long, and the case will be closed in the year, which is not good for Lin Zexu.
Lin Zexu, who sat on the position of governor, had no other action in Yongchang except for the strict order to return production, and now his focus is on the water conservancy of Yunnan Prefecture and the roads that open up various mining areas.
More than a month, plus what Yang Meng did before, Yang Yi, the second eldest of the Yang family, made a lot of money, first opened the road of two copper factories, and then opened the road of the two copper factories, and then the connection of the water network of Yunnan Prefecture, benefiting more than 100,000 acres of fertile land, and in a month's time, Yang Yi's first work could not run.
At the end of September, Lin Zexu won the praise of the imperial court, and he had meritorious service in stabilizing Yunnan, and he also had merit in escorting Yunnan copper, which was a signal that Lin Zexu was firmly seated as the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou.
Five million catties of Yunnan copper were escorted into Beijing, although the things were still on the way, but with Yang Shiqin's four million catties last time, Emperor Daoguang was convinced of this, and a group of military planes also secretly sighed Lin Zexu's good luck, and secretly scolded Yang Shiqin, a traitor in Yunnan.
And the governor of Sichuan, shouting that Sichuan copper is not profitable, asking for tax exemption, but was suppressed by the military aircraft, what are you kidding, now this thing is handed over, it is the root and seedling of trouble, and so Yang Shiqin's Yunnan copper is solved to Beijing, and then look at the fineness of this batch of Yunnan copper, if it is an old goods, Yang Shiqin is still in danger, if it is a new product, then Yang Shiqin is a fragrant bait.
Lin Zexu handed it over, and the excerpt of Yang Meng as the deputy general was also successfully passed, although the deputy general of the green camp is said to be rotten on the street, but it is also the second grade of the imperial court, and Yang Meng's promotion needs the approval of the imperial court.
Lin Zexu's appointment and dismissal of Yunnan officials was not reprimanded, and it was passed smoothly. In the excerpt, Yang Yi's name is impressively listed, and his official position is not the Yunnan Mansion of the Sixth Grade, but the Tongzhi of the Fifth Grade, and the location of the post is also very eye-catching, Yongchang Mansion.
This five-grade is much higher than the gold content of Yunnan Mansion's general judgment, and the second-in-command of Yongchang Mansion, Lin Zexu, is going to attack Yongchang.
The military aircraft tasted inside, and Yunnan copper had not yet been solved, and they also responded to Lin Zexu, the plaintiffs in the Yongchang case, Ding Canting and Du Wenxiu, and delayed escort.
Now the military planes are also watching, Yunnan copper has become a focus again, Emperor Daoguang wants to know the color of this batch of Yunnan copper, and the military aircraft want to know the new and old of this batch of Yunnan copper, Lin Zexu is to use the time of Yunnan copper to solve Beijing, for the storm behind.
Yang Yi did a good job in Yunnan Mansion, he studied art under Lin Laohumen for seven years, and it was time for him to show his strength, the Yang family and Lin Zexu did not help him, although the errand in Yunnan Mansion was a little twisty and turned, but Yang Yi, who stumbled, still squeezed out.
When Yang Yi was initially uncomfortable, Xu Ziwei's few words made him slowly deviate from Lin Zexu's path, such a slight deviation was a living study in Lin Zexu's eyes, and in Liu Cunren's eyes, all that was left was helplessness.
The gentle wind and drizzle are a good thing for most officials in Yunnan, but not for some officials in western Yunnan, especially those in Yongchang.
The Yongchang case and the Luo Tianchi case are approved cases, and no one dares to slack off, but Lin Zexu's delay in launching them is not a good thing. The officials of the Qing Dynasty are best at figuring out their intentions, and the thunder after the wind and drizzle has been seen by some people.
Shen Jucheng, the unlucky bastard, finally failed to wait for the moment when the Yongchang case was opened, and died of illness in prison, Shen Zhenda took over Shen Jucheng's family property, and also took over the position of the head of the Yongchang League.
Yang Meng's life during this period of time was very nourishing, Wei Huozi topped his lack of generals, Lin Zexu was still touching the situation of the Yunnan Green Battalion, and let Yang Meng take over as the governor of the Chinese army, what is missing now is the approval of the imperial court, as long as he gets the court, Yang Meng will take office.
