The next day, Yang Meng and the coastal defense battalion with a big blade on their backs went to the school field next to the Thirteen Lines, this boundary was originally a freight yard of the Yang family, vacated for military training, Yang Meng also had some ideas, deterrence, barely should be regarded as right? Although the soldiers and horses of the Qing Dynasty are really not very good!

The coastal defense battalion is Ye Mingchen's green battalion to Yang Meng, which is a bit foolish, in the fold given by the imperial court, there is also the meaning of allocating two battalions of soldiers to replace the sailors, but Ye Mingchen swallowed all of these, and Yang Meng didn't care about this, the number of military horses in Guangzhou is limited, plus the water division, the imperial court allowed him more than 7,000 soldiers and horses, and the salary of these people needs to be paid by the imperial court.

Ye Mingchen detained a group of waste, which was in line with Yang Meng's meaning, in addition to the coastal defense battalion, Yang Meng wanted to build a new naval division of more than 4,000 people, and Ye Mingchen could not give less to the military expenses, as for how to dispose of those extra people and horses, it was not Yang Meng's business.

"What a group of waste, Yu Biao, first shaved the big smokers, let them stand aside for Lao Tzu, and the rest of them will run around the city walls of Guangzhou twice, whether they are soldiers or generals, those who can't run down will be eliminated!"

Yang Meng didn't have much time to study the advantages and disadvantages of the people and horses in the green camp, and the most important thing to do as a soldier was to be paid, how could he kill people without a body? This is also one of the basic conditions for Yang Meng to select people all the time.

"Wait, let the Haiphong battalion send a thousand men and horses to follow them, don't let these bastards make trouble!"

The green battalion in Guangzhou is different from other places, most of the green battalion soldiers in other places are poor soldiers, while the green battalion soldiers in Guangzhou are relatively wealthy.

Yu Biao passed the general order according to Yang Meng's intentions. As soon as I heard it, it was going to be dismissed. The sailors' men quit. Several generals took the lead in making trouble, and Wu Yuanyou, the admiral of the water division, also walked in front of Yang Meng with a look of chagrin.

"Lord Ministry, do you really want to dismiss the water division?"

Wu Yuanyou is still available, but the sailors in Guangzhou are indeed decayed, although Wu Yuanyou has some skills, but the ability of the green camp to deceive and conceal is even greater.

"Respectfully! You know what the hell this sailor is. It is impossible not to dismiss a group of waste people, and which of those who make trouble are incompetent? ”

What is the water division like, Wu Yuanyou also knows that although he is the commander of the water division, he must be under the control of the governor of Liangguang everywhere, and he can only think about it without the strength of Yang Laosan.

After listening to Yang Laosan's words, Wu Yuanyou, who was in his fifties, knew that it was not good. This person pressed Ye Zhongtang to patrol the city that day, but he killed a few governors on the street.

"Ministry. Those are generals! ”

"Shit! What generals? It's hard to kill a chicken, what kind of sailor's soldier is brave? When you come out to make trouble, there will always be a day when you will kill me, or Lao Tzu will slaughter them all. ”

Yang Meng waved his hand, and several soldiers from the coastal defense battalion pulled out the big blades behind him.

"Ministry, is it okay to kill three?"

"If you can't use it, slaughter it!"

"This matter ......"

"The blame is Lao Tzu! Go up and kill it......"

Wu Yuanyou, the admiral of the water division, is also helpless in this regard, this grandfather is the one who dares to put a big knife on Ye Zhongtang's neck, and he also has the power to dispose of the generals of the water division, the military camp is different from the officialdom, and some things are capital crimes, such as the current Xiaohao military camp.

Under the guidance of Wu Yuanyou, two general soldiers, three deputy generals, and one staff general died under the knife of the coastal defense battalion, and there was no process of execution.

Running around the city wall of Guangzhou twice, there is no more than half a day to run down, Wu Yuanyou is the admiral of the navy, naturally exempted from such an errand, Yang Meng took Wu Yuanyou, and began to patrol the docks in Guangzhou.

"Jingpu, you are a local, good at fighting water wars, in two days Lao Tzu will integrate the militia near Guangzhou, what do you say?"

Wu Yuanyou is barely usable, the newly built water division, Yang Meng doesn't plan to let him interfere, Yongying is a good place for this water division commander.

"Lord Ministry, but you want to squeeze the subordinate out of the water division?"

"Hmmm! That's what it means, your tactics are not successful, Lao Tzu wants to use newcomers, but you still sit firmly in the position of Admiral of the Navy. ”

Wu Yuanyou asked directly, and Yang Meng did not hide it, many things were unnecessary in Yang Meng's opinion.

"What does the ministry have to deal with?"

Wu Yuanyou is not a mediocre minister, but he has no chance to play, and he can only make a living patrolling the sea.

"Hmmm! Yes, the new sailor, Lao Tzu wants to use the newcomer of the Guangzhou Shipbuilding School, you are a little late to learn naval warfare at your age, but with the foreign devils who practice bravely fighting the landing, you still have this ability.

Between us and foreign devils, there will be a war in the short term, how to choose, Jingpu you can do it yourself, right?

Water Division, you can only stay in it to retire, enter the Yong Battalion, you still have the opportunity to make contributions, this war, I am afraid that the war will spread to Jinkou.

After entering the Yong Camp, you also have a lot to learn, and practicing with Yong Ding is what Lao Tzu said. ”

Wu Yuanyou is not used for this person, it is all in Yang Meng's thoughts, in the previous war, Lin Laohu used Guan Tianpei and others, and the battle was a mess, with Wu Yuanyou, Yang Meng also had the heart to let him avenge the old-timers of those sailors.

"It's all up to the orders of the ministry!"

The shape is stronger than people, Wu Yuanyou has carefully listened to this Yang Butang's ability these days, leading troops to fight, this can be regarded as the first person in the Qing Dynasty, Ye Zhongtang and other characters are all suffering in the hands of Yang Laosan, his own commander of the navy, the official rank of the military general is not small, but the power in his hands, I am afraid that even some officials below the fourth grade of the Governor's Mansion can not catch up, and against Yang Laosan is looking for death.

"Acquaintance is the best! I'll arrange it in two days! Bring all the belongings of the sailor to the Yong Camp! Those objects, Lao Tzu can't look down on them! ”

Whether it is being a person or mixing officialdom, contentment and happiness are not a lie. An old oilman like Wu Yuanyou, who has been mixed with the green camp since he was a child. Although it is said that the power of the love stack. But they are more optimistic about military power.

The choice given to him by Yang Laosan is also a great opportunity for him, how many sailors are there in Guangzhou? More than 4,000 and less than 5,000. How many people are practicing Yong in Guangzhou? At least more than 20,000, even if a batch is reduced, the number of eight or nine thousand is still there, and at this time, only by relying on military power can we make meritorious contributions, and this kind of retreat is not much different from rewards.

"Lord Ministry, I don't know how many people and horses the Yong Battalion will choose?"

"See how you Wu Jingpu stand in line?"

"Lord Ministry, I am willing to serve dogs and horses!"

"Hmmm! The practice of each family. Add up to more than 20,000, we want elite soldiers, how about 15,000 for you? ”

"It couldn't be better!"

"Remember! There are some things, Lao Tzu can give you and can take them back, transfer you, the Admiral of the Water Division, to control the Yong Battalion, Lao Tzu is to balance Ye Mingchen, if your old boy is against the nest, Lao Tzu will ensure that you will be promoted to the coffin! ”

The edict of the imperial court was clearly written, and the water master, Yang Meng of the green camp and Ye Mingchen were each in half of the palms. Yongying is under the control of Ye Mingchen, with Wu Yuanyou. We'll see who this brave battalion soldier listens to.

"In the water and fire, Wu Jingpu is with Lord Dingbutang!"

Although Wu Jingpu is over fifty years old, this age is not too big in the officialdom, and there are seventy or eighty old men everywhere, according to seventy, he Wu Yuanyou can still dominate the situation for twenty years!

Officialdom, standing in line to apprentice is the way to make steady progress, leaning on the big tree of Yang Meng, it is a very good choice for Wu Yuanyou.

"Look at the action! The people over there have almost chosen it, leaving the old ships and decayed ordnance of the sailor division to Ye Mingchen, we are dividing the family, and the people and property must be all in Ye Zhongtang. ”

After a big circle at the wharf, the selection of sailors has also come to an end, more than 4,000 sailors, more than 1,000 smokers, more than 1,000 old and weak, hundreds of bears, plus more than 1,000 eliminated, and the final remaining people are only 300 people.

"Jingpu, you are really not a good water master, the remnants of the two lakes green battalion are more than the people selected by you, the Guangzhou water division, after taking charge of the Yong Battalion, if you practice the Yong Battalion, Lao Tzu will pick your skin!"

The Guangzhou Navy Division is also a regular army, with more than 4,000 and nearly 5,000 people, and only 300 qualified ones were selected, which is a bit outrageously low.

"Alas......"

The sailor is not Wu Yuanyou's, and he can only sigh about this, the Guangzhou sailor is a fat man, but anyone who has some ways wants to squeeze into the sailor, these are not soldiers to eat and drink, most of them come to the sailor to make money.

"Yu Biao, according to the number of rosters, select soldiers from the Shipmaster School, and in three days, Lao Tzu will see the new Guangzhou Sailor!

Jingpu, you come with me to meet Ye Zhongtang and hand over the water master's men and horses! ”

With hundreds of soldiers from the coastal defense battalion, Yang Meng entered the city of Guangzhou, and Ye Mingchen was also quite careful, with five hundred governors and two hundred and eight banners, witnessing the two powerful ministers of Guangzhou, and the transfer of the military power of the naval division and the green battalion.

Sharing this cake, Ye Mingchen undoubtedly took advantage, ninety percent of the sailors exchanged for the coastal defense battalion of 3,000 people, this deal is quite cost-effective.

"Ye Zhongtang, the soldiers of the Navy Division are counted according to 5,000, the food and salary of the 2,500 Navy Division and the 3,000 Haiphong Battalion men and horses, and you still have to do your best in the past two days."

The Sailor Division and the Green Battalion are both regular armies of Liangguang, and this salary and grain naturally have to be allocated by the Governor's Palace, and Yang Meng will not be stupid to carry this burden by himself.

"Yang Butang, how do you say the tariffs in Guangzhou?"

"Tariffs? This matter belongs to commercial affairs and foreign affairs, and has nothing to do with Ye Zhongtang, the repair of the fort and the casting of the artillery, Lao Tzu is counting on the tariff! Don't even think about it!

And also! Withdraw all the officials belonging to the Governor's Mansion on the Guangzhou wharf, and then appear at the Guangzhou wharf, don't blame Lao Tzu for turning his face! ”

After explaining this, Yang Meng turned around and left, leaving Ye Mingchen blowing his beard and glaring in place, without the tariffs in Guangzhou, the two Guangzhou government offices lost a lot of money, but the power and responsibility of this matter, the court understood it, and Ye Mingchen really didn't dare to rob the tariffs.

In the next two days, Yu Biao was in the Guangzhou Water Division, while Yang Meng and Wu Yuanyou began to integrate Guangzhou Lianyong, and they were paid five taels of silver for food and housing a month, which was considered a middle income in the Qing Dynasty, and there was no such income as a laborer or farming.

Originally, Yang Meng planned to only accept 15,000 people, but he ran around the city wall of Guangzhou three times, and there were still more than 20,000 people left, and the five major commercial ports, 40,000 people are not too much.

More than 3,000 new troops were added to the Yong Battalion as instructors, and the 25,000-strong Yong Battalion was built.

Lian Xinyong is also a show for Yang Meng, in addition to doing it to the imperial court, the most important thing is to deter France and Millican, England is only afraid that it will not be able to deter, their ambitions for the Qing Dynasty are not 20,000 Lian Yong can be stopped, clean up England, and now they have to divide commercially, the alliance of Britain, France and the United States.
