The meeting with Bourblon was also a good thing for Yang Meng, the envoys of Britain, France and the United States had met, and their own meaning was conveyed, presumably in the next period of time, Guangzhou would be a relatively stable period.

While using diplomatic means and promising commercial benefits, Yang Meng will not forget the kung fu and gun in his hands, in this world, only those who can kill, can kill, and dare to kill can stand, and win by lip service, then it is not far from being beaten.

"Yu Biao! What is the situation of the Guangzhou Sailor and the Green Camp? How about Lian Yong around the Thirteen Lines, Su zhì? ”

During this time, Yang Meng handed over the matter of finding out Guangzhou's combat effectiveness to Yu Biao, and three or five days was enough time for Yu Biao to make a general assessment of Guangzhou's combat effectiveness.

"It's not good! The Navy Division only has dozens of red single boats and 24-pound naval guns, and I am afraid that it can be sunk in three or five strokes, and as for the equipment of the Navy Division and the Green Battalion, it is not easy to kill people.

Not to mention Lian Yong, most of these Lian Yong are built by large households and businesses around Guangzhou, and the number of people is quite a lot, but the combat effectiveness is also limited!

Third master, our family has more than 50,000 new troops in Guangzhou, and about 30,000 personnel in Wuzhuang, so it's better to ......"

The combat power of the Guangzhou Navy Division and the Guangdong Green Battalion Land Division, in Yu Biao's eyes, can only be described as miserable, such an army has a big gap compared with the Taiping Army, three or five thousand new troops, fighting three or five hundred thousand such miscellaneous things, it is easy!

The Yang family has a lot of troops in Guangzhou, including Dokdo overseas, the Shipbuilding Academy in Guangzhou, the shipyard in Huangpu, and the Wuzhuang everywhere, with a small number of 100,000. Instead of using these chops. It's better to use the Yang family's new army. Come with ease.

"Hmmm! Lao Tzu transferred another 50,000 horses from Yunnan to defeat Hong Kong and Macao in one go.

Bastard talk! Lao Tzu is a water division, a green battalion, and a brave man, naturally there is a purpose, to defend Guangzhou, the local garrison, the people, and the merchants have to contribute, we have done all the things, and the pain of the obscurity is not felt by the people.

Sailor, Green Battalion. Starting to select troops from tomorrow, let Taichen make a field near the thirteen lines, and send the eliminated people and horses back to Ye Mingchen together with the tatters of the green camp!

As for Lian Yong, let the business names of Yang Pan and the two families jointly invite guests, these Lian Yong are more like private armies than like Yong camps, and it doesn't make much sense to keep them. Let's train again! ”

If you have soldiers in your hands, you have the right on the side of the court. Yu Hui, not the Yang family's business, but the whole world's affairs, in the two lakes Yang Meng organized the structure of Chu Yong, in Jiangsu and Zhejiang also built a new Yong battalion, Guangzhou is not short of troops, but belongs to Guangdong people and horses no, a new training of people, the new army as a seed, Yang Meng is not only in Guangzhou, but also in Xiamen and Fuzhou. The four commercial ports of Ningbo and Shanghai.

"Third Master, drastically dismantle the water division and the green camp, I'm afraid that the court will not be angry! Now we are not on good terms with Ye Mingchen, but we are afraid that he will make a fuss about this matter. ”

Xu Ziwei opened his mouth in front of Yu Biao, it is good to practice Xinyong, but at this time, it is better to be safe, because the affairs of the imperial court have exposed the scheming of the Yang family, which is not beautiful!

"Hmmm! The chief reminded us of this matter, but we have done this in Lianghu before, and we will get an excerpt to report to the imperial court, and we will do things first. ”

With the foundation of the two lakes and the new green camp, this matter is also a matter of course, Xu Ziwei cares too much about Ye Mingchen's power, in Yang Meng's eyes, this officialdom is like that, as long as the background is reliable, any Ye Zhongtang and others can be despised, and now his backing is a four-color stick, even if he really does something excessive, there will be no punishment.

"The third master's statement is good, but there is also a saying called pampering and arrogance, we can't let Ye Mingchen grab our handle!"

"Ye Mingchen is already half useless, there are some things that don't have to be cared about, in the last debate, Ye Mingchen was defeated miserably, I don't think there is a handle that can kill with one blow, Ye Mingchen will not take the initiative to attack."

Ye Mingchen is indeed a constraint to Yang Meng, but Ye Mingchen, who has just been defeated, should not provoke in this matter, Hu Linyi's Lianghu New Camp has been fighting well in Jiangnan recently, and the Lianghu New Camp is in front of Zhuyu, Ye Mingchen wants to criticize himself in this matter, I am afraid that he will have to ask for his own hardship.

"Third master, after you arrived in Guangzhou, you have acted a lot more rashly, and sometimes you have to be cautious."

Recklessly, that is what Xu Ziwei wants to say, starting from the river project, Yang Sanye's steps are getting faster and faster, and the things in Jiangnan are easy to say, but when it comes to foreign affairs, in Xu Ziwei's opinion, it is still necessary to be safe.

"The situation is compelling, I have to do it! Once it is carried out again, the imperial court signs a contract, the European and American powers will be twisted into a rope, although the Qing Dynasty is big, it is not as big as the world, and it is alone against the wolves, even if it is the prosperous era of Kangqian, the Qing Dynasty has no chance of winning!

What we are doing now is to take the fire from the fire, first divide the three countries of Britain, France and the United States, and then choose an opponent to fight with it, as long as we win, this world will have a place for us, otherwise, we will be attacked by the group! ”

Yingli is a good opponent, but Yang Meng prefers the giant bear in the north, and compared with Yingjili, Eros can bring Yang Meng more benefits.

"I see, in this way, the third master is still in Zhizhu's hands."

After saying this, Xu Ziwei began to ponder Yang Meng's deep meaning, as a staff member, it is also necessary to master the third master's thinking.

"Yu Biao, what you just said, you go and do it! Let the generals who originally belonged to the training of the naval division set off for Xiamen, Fuzhou, Ningbo, and Shanghai in a team of ten people, and let them meet with the local officials first to see if they can be the same as Guangzhou.

When you go out, find Taichen and ask him to do a good job of gathering Guangzhou merchants and big households, and invite them to a banquet tonight. ”

That night, Yang Meng set up a banquet in his yamen, the secretary of the military department, the minister of Nanyang, the director of Wukou Commerce, the third master of the Yang family, and the Guangzhou under the control of the Pan and Yang families.

Ding Taichen posted a post, and these people will naturally stick to Yang Meng's, twelve tables of banquets, and more than 80 large businessmen in Guangzhou gathered in Yang Meng's yamen. After the compliment, after a few rounds of toasts. Yang Meng also brought up the topic.

"Today, Lao Tzu invites you to a banquet. There is only one goal, to disperse your militias! ”

This is also a matter involving the vital interests of the merchants, the establishment of the militia is not a loss-making business, with the name of the militia group, not only in terms of taxation, but also with the militia, the safety of the caravan is also guaranteed, Yang Meng opened his mouth and asked everyone to disperse the militia. Although Yang Meng's status is very high, it involves vital interests, and there are some words that cannot be suppressed by authority.

"Yang Butang, what good will it do us to disperse the militia?"

"The immediate benefit is that you don't have to pay for it."

Someone asked, Yang Meng replied, these merchants and big households are united, and their strength is also good, robbing them, or cooperating with them, for Yang Meng, who has mastered the tariffs in Guangzhou. Dispensable, rather than opposite, it is better to cooperate. There is a lot of power in numbers!

"The food and salary are only a few, if Yang Sanye disperses the militia group, the government will really not let us help with the salary?"

"Lao Tzu won't do it here, this Guangzhou city is Lao Tzu's territory, as for this one-third of an acre of land, Lao Tzu can't care about it!"

Answering truthfully is Yang Meng's attitude towards these big businessmen, no one is a fool, and he is afraid that he will lose his credibility when he talks about the scene.

"Third master, it's not safe outside of Guangzhou, we dispersed to practice Yong, how can we ensure safety?"

These words are closely related to all of you here, and the ears of all people stand up at the mention of this.

"Again, Lao Tzu doesn't care about it elsewhere, as long as it's in Lao Tzu's territory, keep your net worth safe.

But there is a premise for this matter, the lawless man Lao Tzu does not shelter, and the person who sells tobacco and soil Lao Tzu will kill him when he sees it, in addition, as long as it is in Lao Tzu's territory, it can basically guarantee your safety.

Even if there is a mess, Lao Tzu will arrange for you to withdraw at the first time, today's world, you also know that Lao Tzu is also a businessman, full of security and stability for everyone, this Lao Tzu dare not say, can only be a basic guarantee! ”

Yang Meng's words are not full, it is precisely to cater to the minds of these merchants and big households, and most of the swears are lies, Yang Sanye said this, and the vast majority of people present were convinced.

"Lord Ministry, it's easy to disperse the brave men, but without the income of the militia group, I'm afraid that some idle people will make trouble at the dock and the Thirteen Lines, let's do things easily, I'm afraid of bringing trouble to the Lord of the Ministry!"

Yang Meng spoke heart-to-heart, and the people below also told the truth, it was easy to disperse Yongding, but after Yongding dispersed, I was afraid that there would be a lot of people who did evil.

"Scattered, it doesn't mean that they will be scattered, these brave men want to join Lao Tzu's newly built brave battalion, a full-time brave battalion, and the second army of Hunan and Chu in the two lakes, take care of the food and live in the five taels of January, but these are said to the selected brave soldiers.

As for the evildoers, this matter is just up to you to convey it, Lao Tzu's territory, all the military law is practiced, and the only way to punish is to kill the head, after you go back, each warn the people outside the city of Guangzhou, don't violate Lao Tzu's military law! ”

Yang Meng opened his mouth to say that he was killed, but the merchants and big households were not surprised, the Yang family business was second only to Pan's big business at the Guangzhou wharf, and the Yang family business was doing serious business, and the Yang family business was not deceiving, but those who dared to violate the interests of the Yang family business were very miserable, and for Yang Meng, who was born in the Yang family business, many merchants and big households still believed it.

"Good! According to the third master's wishes, when the third master wants to build a new camp, we will send Yongding to the third master's camp when. ”

"This is the best, after the training, there is still a big deal to be done here on Lao Tzu's side, I don't know if you are interested?"

As soon as they heard that it was a big deal, everyone present immediately focused their eyes on Yang Meng.

"The so-called big deal, but it is really not small, Lao Tzu wants to relocate the houses and thirteen lines outside the West Gate, and make the wharf in Guangzhou the largest land and water wharf in the Qing Dynasty, I don't know what everyone thinks?"

The area around the thirteen lines of the West Gate is a weakness of Guangzhou City, Yang Meng has also seen the appearance of the wharf near the thirteen lines, there are not many boundaries that can berth large ships, if it is expanded, the throughput of the wharf will increase several times, and Yang Meng can also take the opportunity to build shore fortifications outside the West Gate.

"Third master, this is a big matter, we still have to think about it."

"This is the truth, I have already handed over this matter to Ding Taichen, presumably who Ding Taichen is, everyone knows it, right? If there is anything to ask him, the reorganization of the Thirteen Lines and the Guangzhou Wharf is a big deal of gold and silver, everyone, if you want to make a fortune, look for Ding Taichen!

That's all for now, two days later, you take Yongding into the school field outside the thirteen lines, and then you will plan the matter of the dock! ”

The reorganization of the Thirteen Lines and the Guangzhou Wharf is also a big pie that Yang Meng promised to foreigners, with this thing it should be able to stabilize the shape for a period of time, with this time, Yang Meng can calmly deploy in the five major commercial ports.

A wine banquet not only reduced the expenses of the big households, but also heard a big money deal, the atmosphere of the banquet is naturally more and more harmonious, and after making friends with these merchants and big households, seventy or eighty percent of Guangzhou City will be in the hands of Yang Meng.
