The civil unrest in western Yunnan has not been transmitted to Beijing through some channel, and the chaos in western Yunnan has attracted the attention of Emperor Daoguang, not for other reasons, or because of Yunnan copper, which is preparing for a resurgence.

The resurgence of Yunnan copper, the number of tens of millions of catties a year, not to mention the minting of coins, just the casting of copper cannons, can make a huge contribution to the Qing Dynasty. In the first battle of Gengzi, if the Yunnan copper did not wither, tens of thousands of catties of refined copper were all cast into copper cannons, would foreigners still dare to easily touch the maritime frontier of the Qing Dynasty?

In a few decades, countless refined copper was buried in the mountains, and the Qing Dynasty not only lost its national strength, but also lost its military force.

A reprimanded oracle went directly to He Changling's hands, and the harshly worded oracle first reprimanded He Changling for his weakness and incompetence, causing chaos in western Yunnan for many years, and then strictly ordered He Changling to calm down the civil unrest in western Yunnan and cut off the source of the civil unrest.

This time, Emperor Daoguang attached great importance to this matter, crossed He Changling, directly ordered the general, and ordered Zhang Bilu, the governor of Yunnan, to lead troops to the rebellion in the starry night. After Zhang Bilu got the order, he lit up the green camp military horses near Kunming and rushed to western Yunnan in a hurry.

Zhang Bilu is a long-time military person, and he has pacified countless chaos in his life, even if he is a foreign devil, he has also fought in Guangzhou, but although he has great ability, the green camp in Yunnan is really decayed.

This battle-experienced Admiral Zhang has also just arrived in Yunnan, and he knows very well what the situation of the Yunnan Green Camp is, and a few months is not enough to change the style of the Yunnan Green Camp.

The 40,000 soldiers and horses in Yunnan have been counted several times, but they can definitely not be used by more than 10,000. In addition to supervising the standard and raising the standard, it is still available to raise the standard and the town standard. In the green camp near Kunming, there are only two or three thousand people who can fight more than 10,000 people. The others are either old and weak, or empty tablets.

According to the number of soldiers, there should be 15,000 elite soldiers near Kunming, but only two or three thousand can really be used.

But the king's life is difficult, and Zhang Bilu, who is also traveling under the stars, also played tricks, and the march is good. But the speed was extremely slow, not for anything else, just to do the soldiers of the Yunnan Green Battalion.

All the way to slowly gather the Yunnan Green Battalion, to the west of Yunnan more than 20,000 green battalion people, can be regarded as gathered, 20,000 this number, sounds scary, but Zhang Bilu has self-knowledge, 7,000 available soldiers. Most of the firearms were in disuse, half of the bows and crossbows were decayed, and the arrows searched the entire army, and only more than 3,000 were found. Most of the gunpowder was agglomerated by moisture, and the power of the artillery was greatly reduced.

After listening to the situation reported by Yongchang Green Camp, Zhang Bilu was helpless. Of the 3,000 rebels, half of them were elites. There are more than 1,000 mountain people, and the rest are all poor men.

Hard hitting definitely won't work. Not to mention whether you can win or not, once you really fight, who will lose first? Civil unrest cannot be forcibly killed, some of them must be dispersed first, and the rest can be really used to fight hard.

Set up camp in Yongchang, Zhang Bilu is ready to arrange troops, 20,000 horses are not small, three ways out, disperse the chaos is the right reason, although the gunpowder is damp, but the artillery can still be fired, dozens of guns can also be used, plus some firecrackers and the like, the power should be enough.

As soon as the sound of artillery and gunfire rang out, it should be able to scare away half of the rioters, and the rest will be stubborn and trapped for a few days.

Zhang Bilu thought well, his method is also a good way to quell the chaos, but he can't change his elbows and armpits, and he hasn't waited for the chaos to be quelled! The Green Battalion soldiers fought with the militia in Yongchang first.

After Yang Meng came to western Yunnan, he sent someone to meet Huang Baba, who was also a stubborn man, claiming that the government would not return the land, and he would never stop his army.

Because of Du Wenxiu's relationship, Huang Baba's attitude towards Yang Meng is okay, but those people under him are not good, I wanted to fund them, but seeing that Huang Baba's subordinates were rude, the Yang family's steward in the past also lost his temper, and he didn't leave them with any money and food, how did he bring it, and how did he bring it back.

Yang Meng is also helpless in this regard, the reputation of the Yang family is important, and he is not willing to do anything with a hot face and a cold ass. cleaned up a copper official on the spot, and Yang Meng met with the local county order in the name of the green battalion general.

The circulation of large amounts of land, if it should be very cautious in normal times, but now the time is different, the name of the Yang family is there again, the official seal is made as the title deed, the county government does not ask for a penny of silver, and the main owner is gone, so the matter is done.

Seeing that things were going well, more than a dozen copper officials who settled in western Yunnan fell into the hands of Yang Shiqin, and Yang Meng solved it together, and these dozen copper officials had a lot of land in their hands, and they were about to catch up with half of Yiliang.

Compared with the land, the gold and silver obtained this time made Yang Meng speechless, more than 10 million taels of silver, gold ingots, fine and soft are also a large amount, such a harvest is a little terrifying. One hundred and ten copper officials, all of them have been done, so the income must not exceed 100 million?

Thinking about what they did, Yang Meng also understood that since the end of Qianlong and the beginning of Jiaqing, the twenty-sixth year of Daoguang ended, and in nearly fifty years, from one or two million jin in the heyday to one or two million jin now, the number in this is extremely huge and terrifying.

Gold and silver are abundant, and there is a lot of land, Yang Meng also opened up the momentum, first according to Yiliang's method, the original village tenants were resettled, and dozens of farms were built. With the homes of these dozen copper officials as a martial village, a Zhuangzi recruited 500 mountain people as swordsmen.

And those loyal swordsmen brought from Kunming Wuzhuang, they became the leaders of one Wuzhuang, ten old swordsmen in one Wuzhuang, and two Yang family stewards, each leaving 100,000 taels of silver, one to let them train manpower and protect land and property, and the other to let them slowly recruit suitable mountain people in the local area.

After dealing with these, Yang Meng selected the most elite of the 1,000 among these new swordsmen, and they sat near Yongchang Mansion. More than ten days have passed, and Zhang Bilu's men and horses are late, and the best time to quell the chaos has passed at this time.

Yang Meng went to Huang Baba's camp to see, after nearly a month of training, those chaotic people are no longer a rabble, at least they have a fight with the green camp in Yunnan, and the swords, guns, swords, and halberds are also ready, and now there is no other way to quell the chaos than to fight hard.

What Yang Meng didn't expect the most was the corrupt military discipline of the Yunnan Green Battalion. These bastards, although they are old, weak, sick and disabled, have everything. But to make a living by robbing homes and houses, that's called a cool profit. Within two hours of setting up camp, these brutes had already ransacked two villages.

Traitor. Lewd. Capture. They did everything they were not allowed to do by military law. Due to the fact that the villages were taken away, the old and weak of these villages were affected.

Fortunately, these green battalion soldiers still have some bottom limits, and they did not do anything to slaughter the village and destroy the village, otherwise Yang Meng would have done it first. Thinking of the tens of thousands of whistles in Shen Jucheng's hands, Yang Meng also had a new idea.

Command your swordsmen. Pretending to be a villager, he went to report to the militia group, and lied that Zhuangzi was slaughtered, and this time Shen Jucheng's tens of thousands of sentry drills were directly dispersed, and each went back to his own house to find his own mother, Shen Jucheng was also busy returning to Jinji Village, and he knew what virtue the green battalion soldiers had, compared with Huihui. This green battalion soldier is not bad at all, they are all great enemies.

At the time of the return of the militia group, the green battalion soldiers robbed several villages and returned to the strong men in the village. Seeing the empty home, he didn't care about it, and went straight to the station of the green camp with the guys.

Three green battalion teams of more than 100 people. collided with the famous group, and the enmity of the family made the people of the militia group. Without the slightest fear, he raised his hand to the thing. And he pounced.

After a few chaos, the Green Battalion left behind 100 corpses, and the militia recovered some of their belongings. Those militia groups, who could not find the main master, launched a direct attack on the garrison of the Green Battalion.

After a chaotic battle, more than 100 green battalion soldiers died, and the militia did not reap the benefits, and they were scattered by Zhang Bilu's promotion, and there were many casualties.

was inexplicably attacked by the militia camp, Zhang Bilu was also annoyed, and sent someone to directly ask Shen Jucheng for the crime, what kind of place is the green camp, Shen Jucheng knows, relying on the official body of the previous year, this one also mustered up the courage to gather the militia near Jinji Village to fight against Zhang Bilu's promotion.

The matter is getting bigger and bigger, nearly 300 green battalion soldiers died, and the militia also died 1200, Shen Jucheng, the head of the Yongchang regiment, couldn't take it, Zhang Bilu decisively chose to pull out the camp and leave the vicinity of Yongchang.

In the process of pulling out the camp, Zhang Bilu also asked the reason for the matter, this matter really can't be investigated, the poor food in the green camp is also famous, in the place where it is stationed, there is still oil and water to fish, and when you come out to fight, you have to eat pig food.

From the generals to the soldiers, they all set their eyes on the surrounding villages, and it is normal to hunt some wild food, but the reaction of the Yongchang militia was a little excessive, which can turn Zhang Bilu's plan to level the thieves upside down.

Killed a few traitors. Lewd. Woman. Female soldiers, but what is the effect, Zhang Bilu also thought that these bastards under his command are wasted, if he is given a year and a half, he can train a group of suitable people, but time is not waiting, so he can only go on the job.

Along the way, although Zhang Bilu sent a bid to search and kill a lot of people, but the looting continued, and suffered a loss in Yongchang, the green battalion soldiers also increased their caution, and the villages with militia groups resolutely did not go, and those small villages and small villages suffered a big crime.

Due to the resistance of the Yongchang militia, the beasts of the Green Battalion were also aroused. Sex, looting is not a problem, looting all the way and burning villages all the way, looking at the fire behind him, Zhang Bilu can only sigh and ignore it.

What to do? Killing thousands of 800 people can stop the wind of looting, but the big war is imminent, and the army's heart cannot be broken, so they can only grieve those villages. Zhang Bilu, who was helpless, put the men and horses of the green camp in the wilderness, but even so, he didn't stop looting, and the bastards under his command actually organized a horse team to go out to loot, and he had no choice but to turn a blind eye and finish the past.

As soon as this incident came out, Yongchang's militia couldn't count on it, and the chaos could only be undertaken by the green battalion soldiers.

I thought that if the militia green camp clashed, the looting would stop, but I didn't expect that Zhang Bilu's goods couldn't play the green camp at all, and after a night, the looting of the green camp reached Yang Meng's ears.

"Hurry up and send people out of Lu to collect the refugees, don't let Huang Baba take the lead."

This trip to western Yunnan, what Yang Meng did was not a good thing, suppressing the strength of Huang Baba, the green battalion, and the militia group, so that they could compromise with each other, and it was only right for them to withdraw their troops, but they never expected that Zhang Bilu, the governor of Yunnan, could not control the soldiers of the green battalion, and now the matter is troublesome.

Really! In the afternoon, the knifemen came back to report the news, except for some old and weak women and children, the sturdy people in the robbed village were all recruited away by Huang Baba.

And this is not the most dangerous, many villages on the first line of Youdian began to move overnight, and the direction is the Mengting Village where Huang Baba is located.

"Cut off the beard! When the sky thunders and splits, I will also cut off Huang Baba's Hu, send people to Mengting Village, send food and silver, and bring back those ordinary people to me! Huang Baba dares to come out, just call me back! ”

Zhang Bilu is a blind man, so indulging the green battalion soldiers, it will only make Huang Baba's snowball roll bigger and bigger, and when he becomes a trend, some militia groups in Yongchang may also join in.

As soon as the green battalion is defeated, it is a real military disaster, and the green battalion soldiers wandering around will only make the momentum of civil unrest more and more sufficient, and if it is not good, the Yunnan green battalion will be annexed by Huang Baba. (To be continued......)
