Chapter 138: Turmoil and Evil
"When the time comes, we will see that the rebellion in western Yunnan is an opportunity for the Yang family no matter what. The new governor? Can you solve the chaos in western Yunnan? Huai is soft and tough, but it is a symptomatic treatment, and it is difficult to get rid of the disease!
The root of this matter is in the imperial court, a sentence of dogs and sheep, and a sentence of Manchu and Han are different, how can it be solved with three fists and two feet? In such a chaotic situation in western Yunnan, coupled with the famine in Yunnan, the king of heaven, Lao Tzu, became the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and he had to paralyze on it!
Third master, if you want to stabilize Yunnan now, you can only make the Yang family exert your strength, otherwise Yunnan will inevitably fall into war. Huihui, the mountain people, the Eight Banners and Green Battalions of the provinces around Yunnan and Guizhou, to put it mildly, stripped the skin off their bodies, and stood together, no one could tell which was a soldier, which was a citizen, and which was a bandit.
The shop in western Yunnan is too big, and it already has a tendency to be big, and the famine is a deadly knife, and the Yang family should show their own skills. ”
Although what Wei Wu said was a little unclear, Yang Meng also had a rough idea of the road in his heart, his previous steps were too fast, and the strength of the Yang family was a little out of a hurry, and when he returned to Yunnan this time, he had to step up the development of the Yang family's strength.
"Go back this time, western Yunnan is the big head, I'm going to sit in the town, the academy will be handed over to you, now at this time, you don't play tricks, if Yunnan is in chaos, I will have to come out."
This fleet is full of guns and gunpowder, and once I set up a hill in Yunnan, you will know the truth.
After I go back, I will select a group of people in the academy who have the ability to understand people, and I will divide the mountain people in western Yunnan. Let the children you cultivate also hurry up, and during this time I will send a group of Millikan to the West.
The matter is explained to you here, and you have to know how to do it yourself. Take advantage of the moment. Come up with some charters. Grain over there in Huguang. I don't know if it's settled, Cen Yuying's kid, I don't know if the road is pressed or not, I'm afraid that he will be out of the basket. ”
There was a famine in Yunnan, Cen Yuying did not report the news as soon as possible, but the letter from the old man's side came first, and Yang Meng was faintly aware of something wrong in his heart.
"Yan Qing? Alas...... It's still a little worse experience, and I don't know what's important! ”
Cen Yuying is considered a close disciple of Wei Wu. It's just that he has just started to teach, and Wei Wu's ability has not yet begun to teach! When I came to Guangzhou this time, I thought that it would not be delayed for too long, but I didn't expect that it would be two months, and Wei Wu also thought that Cen Yuying was negligent in doing things.
"Let's go back to Yunnan! The mountain people recruits in Sun Boqing's hands may not be unavailable, plus thousands of new troops are pressed in Yunnan, and for the time being, all families will not be able to gain momentum, and the problem should not be too big. The next thing is what matters.
Grain, mountain people, Huihui, people, new governors, and the court, you can also plan these things. Give Cen Yuying more tips. ”
Yang Meng was worried about the affairs of Yunnan, and Guangzhou also blew up the pot, eight big ships, thousands of lives, this is not a small case. If Yang Meng had blown up and sunk these eight sea boats, the trouble would not have been too great, but if these eight sea boats were allowed to float in the river, they caused an uproar in Guangzhou City.
The East India Company naturally knew the situation best, thirty-two twenty-four-pounder mortar cannons, more than a thousand fierce pirates, it was easily solved, and that Yang Shen General in Yunnan was definitely a trouble.
The people of the East India Company, who were not stupid, sent people to check around the sea ships, and the intelligence was not optimistic, and half of the fatal wounds of the pirates were gunshot wounds, which can only show that the new Qing army was well-trained and proficient in water warfare.
The Governor of Liangguang, Qi Ying, is also a lawsuit, and the origin of these eight sea ships has been figured out, and it is owned by several pirates who can count the number near Lingdingyang.
It is a good thing to clear out the bandits, but it is too much to nail the corpses of people to the ship. Today's saints advocate the way of benevolence and filial piety, no matter what these bandits say, they are also people of the Qing Dynasty! If you don't look at anything else, just look at the braids on the back of their heads, and they shouldn't be so cruel and ruthless!
Pan Shicheng, who wanted to cover up the matter, also saw that things were not good, so he simply recalled Yang Fuliang, and no matter how the Liangguang government handled the matter, I am afraid that this matter cannot be covered up now.
At the instigation of the East India Company, the ministers of various countries also condemned this barbaric act, but Qiying finally did not cover up the matter, so that the mystery of the eight ships at the mouth of the Pearl River was heard by the heavens.
In order to give the imperial court an answer, Qiying also selected a group of cadres to investigate the mystery of the eight boats, but Yang Meng's methods were too fierce, and the fragmented corpses on the eight ships were the best sealing bricks.
The conclusion reached at the entrance of the Liangguang Yamen was that the bandits were fighting, and the spearhead was pointed at the bandits entrenched in the sea.
Getting such a conclusion, Qiying is very dissatisfied, the sea bandit fights? If the court makes an order, will this bandit be suppressed or not? Suppression, the sailor is not successful; If you don't suppress it, the court won't allow it, isn't this digging a pit for yourself?
Besides, where the pirates didn't have anything to do with the river and caught fire, isn't this nonsense? This conclusion fools those clear streams, if there is a person who knows about the military, this matter must not be leaked with a poke?
Who is the main owner, Qi Ying also has a rough guess in his heart, there are not many people who can sit down on the ground in Liangguang, and recently Guangzhou happened to come to such a person, some time ago Pan Shicheng suppressed bandits, what kind of people were used, Qi Ying also roughly knows. It's just that the matter of suppressing bandits is beneficial to everyone, so they will turn a blind eye.
The mystery of the eight boats really can't be involved over there, the court is like this, when people are red and purple, they must not be easily provoked, and besides, people are making money for the court, which is a great thing for the Qing Dynasty and the Manchurians, and if you care about this, you are afraid that you are not a person inside and outside!
Recently, I started to run He Changling, and then I deal with that family, I am afraid that the limelight is too strong, and it is easy to break myself!
With these thoughts in his heart, Qiying also had a charter for the handling of this matter, which was nothing more than to let these pirates tow the boat away to collect the corpses, and stir it up again, turning big things into small things.
But the mystery of the eight boats is only the beginning, these bandits in Lingdingyang have occupied the island, and the people sent by Qiying to deliver the news are vomiting back, and there are seven or eight thousand people on the three islands. Whether it is a pirate or an old and weak woman or child. All heads are different.
Guangzhou is in the middle of the summer heat. In addition, the death time has been a little longer, the island is extremely foul-smelling, corpses and flies are everywhere, and many bandits entrenched in Lingdingyang have long known the situation of the road, but they are also frightened by the viciousness of the Yang family, and they dare not say a word.
One bad news after another. Let Qiying also fidget, and have the heart to knock Pan Shicheng! But this Lao Pan's recent performance is really good, and he is preparing for the shipyard! Baiyun's coal kiln and Conghua's iron kiln, Lao Pan spent a lot of money to collect a lot, and he wanted to do a lot of work to see this frame.
Yunnan can't touch it, Lixiangyuan's old Pan can't fight, and the imperial court's will to strictly order to find out the facts of the case is also one after another, Qiying, a Manchurian person, unconsciously. It was used again.
Fortunately, this matter was reported by the ministers of various countries, and Qiying also had room to make a fuss. An excerpt sprinkled with tens of thousands of words, and the mystery of the eight boats was directly topped by the Guangdong sailors.
Fierce means to suppress bandits and deter Western ghosts, Qi Ying put a lot of effort into bringing this matter back. With great effort, the governor of Liangguang was not without benefits, at least he had a reputation for governing the territory well.
Pan Shicheng has also been extremely low-key recently, and Yang Fuliang has also been arranged to the outlying island, and now the wind in Guangzhou City is too tight, and the coastal defense battalion and Yang Fuliang's bandit should spend money to go, otherwise I don't know what kind of mess they will cause!
Renlei has also returned recently, and Pan Shicheng is ready to negotiate with Qiji and Novi about buying shares, but the mystery of the eight ships has made the proprietor of Novi have the heart to retreat, and half of the shipyard was built and transferred to Pan's, but without Novi as the English proprietor, the half-pulled shipyard is useless to Pan Shicheng.
And Qiji's strength is limited, and he doesn't want to be involved in the shipbuilding industry, so it seems that he has to worry about Renres.
It's a mess in Guangzhou, and it's the same in Yunnan. Western Yunnan was too chaotic, Yang Meng did not deal with it as soon as possible, but rectified Yiliang first. The grain harvest failure has not only affected the mountain people in western Yunnan, but also the farmers and tenants of Yiliang Farm, and the grain prices have risen sharply, which is not good news.
The drought at the beginning of the year finally affected the harvest of this season, and the yield was still reduced by 30% with water, as farmers who have been dealing with the land all their lives, they naturally guessed the situation in Yunnan.
What is most important in a year of famine, there is nothing but food. Seeing this, the tenants of Yiliang's farms not only did not sell grain, but some of them were shrewd, and began to buy grain.
And the stewards of the Yang family manor also saw this, some stewards began to stock up on grain in private, wanting to make a handful of themselves, the farmer tenants did not sell grain, and the price of Yiliang's grain rose 'pout', and those stewards of the manor also had the means to forcibly buy grain from the farmer tenants with the threat of land.
Fortunately, Ding Taichen was clever and stopped the matter in time, but the impact of these stewards was not small, and many people began to doubt the Yang family.
"You're nodding your head about this?"
Yiliang is the base, and there is no room for a little chaos, and Yang Meng is still thinking about migrating mountain people from western Yunnan! I didn't expect to turn into elbows and armpits!
"It's not! It was those stewards who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make a small fortune and did things with a bad reputation in private. ”
It's not a big deal to earn some extra money, but now that things are getting bigger, Ding Taichen has no idea.
"In the name of the Yang family, doing private affairs and seeking personal gain, it seems that your people should take good care of it. The grain they bought, let them return it, plus ten times the compensation. ”
"Shall we pay for the compensation?"
"I'm a fart! Let them go out by themselves, and if they can't get out, the bad rules in which farm will chop them up! They left their lives for me to pay compensation!
Call the steward of western Yunnan over and let them watch it well, this matter will be this once, next time it will ruin the reputation of my Yang family and destroy the door! ”
Yiliang's matter, this root is still in Ding Taichen's body, his housekeeper is too benevolent compared with Sun Boqing and Yang Fuliang, and he is a little less aggressive, not at all like the son of Ding Baojun, the one-eyed eagle.
"Third master, let them go this time, and I'll compensate for it!"
"You're out? What do you take out? I'll get out! This time, you won't be able to save anyone next time! The stewards are all your subordinates, and there should be a degree of benevolence, and if there is any crime, I will directly let Boqing take action. ”
The people in Yiliang can be used, and they can not kill people, but there is much more trouble in western Yunnan.
"Third master, Cen Yuying's ......"
"If you have anything to say, you are the big housekeeper of Yiliang, and anyone can take care of it! Who dares to slap you in the face is to expose Lao Tzu's face and argue with the Yang family, such a person should be killed, what happened to Cen Yuying's side? ”
His chief of staff, Cen Yuying, Yang Meng hasn't had time to ask, this little cub is usually quite clever, what's wrong this time?
"There are a few Shaoxing masters who forcibly occupy the people's daughters, and the steward below handed me the form."
"Good! That's nice! That's great! I'm going on this trip, all the cows, ghosts, snakes and gods have jumped out to embarrass me, it seems that the third master has killed fewer people recently, call Cen Yuying's rabbit cub to me! ”
Forcibly occupy the people's daughters! The green tendons on Yang Meng's head came out all of a sudden, he had never played like this, but he didn't expect his subordinates to make an exception. (To be continued......)
