Yang Meng also knew in his heart that once he was ready to go to Guangdong again, the matter over there would inevitably come to an extremely urgent moment, and the manpower must be brought.

Counting on foreign devils and Qing merchants to play peaceful means, it had to be five or six years ago, now! Except for the opium business, which was going well, the other businesses were also difficult.

There is no other reason, it's just that the Qing Kingdom is too soft, and the businessmen don't have a strong backstage, and their waists can't stand up! The invasion of foreign devils step by step, the retreat of the Qing Dynasty, and the sale can only be done exclusively.

Other deals that conflict with the Great Powers can only sit back and wait for bankruptcy. Homespun cloth was the first unlucky, and I don't know how many industries in the Qing Dynasty will slowly wither from homespun cloth.

How to lead troops into Guangzhou is worth studying, whether you can fight foreign devils with a knife, Yang Meng didn't count in his heart, muskets must be brought, but bring them over openly, that is, to find trouble.

Don't have foreign devils to find their own trouble, the Qing Dynasty will be anxious, these brown beisi muskets, there are long and short, choose some short, it's not bad to make a holster, cover it outside, it won't be too conspicuous.

"Wei Huozi, come here! How many of those short brown besses are there in our camp! Get a kind of gun, I asked Taichen to look in the warehouse again, when practicing guns these days, select those who have good knife skills and accurate marksmanship, and I want to use them recently. ”

"Master! Take me with you! I haven't killed anyone in this little half a year, and my bones are a little soft, so let the old Vefa Vary City this time? ”

"Fuck off! You're a commander with troops, why do you still want these things? Follow Mr. to read and hyphenate well, and learn some military books. Master Ge still has a lot of knowledge there. You're not even close to leading troops! Don't mess things up. When the time comes, you're welcome! ”

The excited Wei Huozi was scolded, and beads of sweat oozed from his head, the third master said well, although the third master said that he donated a garrison for himself, but how many catties and taels he had, he knew very well, he had patronized the training these days. Leave your own business behind.

If you want to stay on your heels in Yang's station, in addition to loyalty is ability, you have this loyalty, but you have the ability! It's still a lot worse, what the third master said is right, he should follow Mr. to study hard, otherwise he will be pushed down by the cubs below, and his old face will be taken to pave the way.

I found Ding Taichen and asked about the number of short brown besils. There are really a lot, and there are one or two thousand at home. That's enough. Wei Huozi was collecting the short brown beisi, which also attracted Ge Shiyang's attention, although the short brown beisi was exquisite, but the performance was not as good as the long one, so he still had to remind him.

"My lord, these short brown besses are carbine used in the navy, although they are exquisitely made, but in terms of range and accuracy, they are not as good as the long brown besils produced in England, with these carbine brown besils, it must be melee combat, if you run into a spear, it will be a disaster!"

"Oh...... I really don't know about this, I thought the performance was about the same! It's not a big deal to be ten meters or eight meters, this time I have something to do, the spear is too conspicuous, so I can only use it. ”

Ge Shiyang has been performing well recently, if he hadn't reminded him, if it was really time to use a gun, ten meters and eight meters would be a fatal distance!

"Taichen, you take the craftsman and select all the carbine brown besils in the warehouse, and make up two thousand, and the same is true for the short guns, and you have enough ammunition, as well as barrels of foreign gunpowder, and you have prepared a thousand catties.

The guns should be repaired and replaced, let the cobblers make the holster, the less conspicuous the better, this holster can be put on the foreign knife is the best. Zhuangzi's tiger squat cannon brought me two guns, and prepared enough small leads.

The Xishan side brought out all the recent stocks, prepared the ships, left enough places for 2,000 people, and the transfer stations along the road, you also greeted them in advance. ”

As soon as Yang Meng said this, Ding Taichen's brows also furrowed, he also understood the matter in Guangzhou, but he didn't expect it to be so serious.

"Third master, is this gun made of bamboo strips? I'm afraid it's too late for the cobblers to make it, so I'll let the craftsmen weave the bamboo boxes! There are many people doing this work, and it can be prepared in three to five days.

Does Guangzhou need to send more people? Recently, Mr. Wei Wu sent 100 bookkeepers to Kunming, and he still lives in Yiliang and has not left! ”

"Hmmm! A gun is a delicate object, and if the bamboo box is reliable, it will do what you say. Cut off half of those stewards! When you go back, take a trip to Minghu Academy, find Qin Ziqi for me, and at the same time urge Mr. Wei to send my staff to the manor as soon as possible. ”

sent Ding Taichen away, Yang Meng found Ge Shiyang again, recently his foreign master is also busy enough, there is no way, there is no suitable manpower, so he can only let him work harder.

"Master Wei, you prepare a list, the machinery needed to make artillery, the machinery needed to make gunpowder, all of them must be listed in the list, but don't directly name that kind of equipment, start from other aspects, such as mining machinery, civil machinery and the like, do you understand what I mean?

It's been almost half a year since your letter was sent, and it's almost time to come to your family, so if it's appropriate this time, I'll take your family with me when I come back.

You also write a letter, I also have a basis for something, this time I am going to deal with the East India Company, if you can't get your family, I can still use it. ”

Yang Meng originally planned to take Ge Shiyang with him, but this Master Ge knew too much, so he was afraid that he would never return, and the news of his family, Yang Meng also guessed, the time was almost up, if everything went well, he should be able to successfully bring his family back this time.

"Lord Xie Lu, things may not go so smoothly, I'm afraid that someone in my country will obstruct it, and my family's affairs should be put on the back burner!

I'll get the list of those goods as soon as possible, I don't know how big a gunpowder workshop you want to get, Lord Lord? Do you need to buy any other equipment? ”

Ge Shiyang is also reasonable, how he came to the Qing Dynasty, he knows it in his heart, but he is afraid that there will be people stumbling in his country.

"It doesn't matter! This time to pick up your family, I asked people to bring a few thousand taels of gold over, there should be no problem.

As for the gunpowder workshop. It's a big scale. At least three or five times as much as England. As for the machinery. The technical machinery for making salt, the technical machinery for mining, and the technical machinery for making munitions are in the first place. The most important thing is the European steelmaking technique, write a few suitable people, no matter how much it costs, I will do these things.

And all the science and technology books in Europe, you also have to make a list, I will let people do it, you don't care about the amount of money. Translate these things, and I'll naturally let people do it. ”

The matter over there in Guangzhou suddenly made Yang Meng's time extremely urgent, and with a clear goal, some things must also be accelerated.

"Yes! Your Lord! ”

Yang Meng's words moved Ge Shiyang very much, but the word 'obey' was the first time he said it.

Whether to go to Guangzhou or not has to wait for the letter from my father-in-law, while there is still some time. Yang Meng decided to help Qin Ziqi, just taking advantage of this opportunity. Prepare the manpower in Guangzhou.

If the trip to Guangzhou goes well, they will be left behind, and they will have to evacuate if they can't do it.

After Qin Ziqi came to Hulukou, he also brought good news, the master invited by Wei Wu arrived, and he could open it. Upon hearing the news, Yang Meng was very happy, and he didn't stay in Hulukou, and directly took Qin Ziqi back to Minghu Academy.

This time, I just handed over the big and small affairs of Yunnan, and let my staff do those messy things, while ordering the affairs of Yunnan, I can also train the people recruited by Qin Ziqi.

When he arrived at the academy, Wei Wu had already built the staff team, and Cen Yuying, a little cub, turned out to be his chief of staff, and the twenty or so younger ones with no expression on their faces should be the people selected by Wei Wu.

Those dozen or so unruly and unconvinced people thought that they were the deceitful masters of Shaoxing.

"Yan Qing! You are my first chief of staff, you are a little younger, but this is not a problem, you only want to do things with me at a speed, and if you don't go along with it, you will be killed, this is the power I give you.

You staff members also listen well, do things for me with sincerity and sincerity, you can't be treated with money, if you dare to fight with me, don't think about getting out of Yunnan alive.

Those who are not convinced, don't stalk your neck, you leave home with the front foot, and Mr. Wei will invite your family with the back foot, and you will be there in a few days. When you come to Yunnan, don't think about going back, do things well, otherwise you can only be a lonely ghost in Yunnan. ”

Recruitment is not inferior, Yang Meng does not have this problem, and with a ruthless word, most of the Shaoxing masters are defeated, and the few left are really difficult, so they can only be lost to Cen Yuying.

After explaining the affairs of Yunnan one by one, it took Yang Meng two days, in addition to explaining the affairs of Yunnan, he also took advantage of the evening to point out Qin Ziqi's manpower.

After the affairs of Yunnan were explained, Yang Meng played to train the elites recruited by Qin Ziqi in the academy, and the three days were still sufficient, but Sun Boqing could only rely on himself, and a trip back and forth to western Yunnan by land was no less than the time spent in Guangzhou, and the time should not be enough.

Sure enough, it was less than two days after Qin Ziqi's manpower was trained, and the letter from Guangzhou came.

Qin Ziqi read the letter, and Yang Meng also scratched his head a little, thinking that the matter in Guangzhou was just difficult, but he didn't expect that a bloody battle had already begun.

The elite swordsmen he sent to Guangzhou were missing, thirty of them were missing, and 10,000 catties of cloud smoke were missing, and the spearhead was directed at the arrogant East India Company. Pan Shicheng's shop in Guangzhou was also blocked by the East India Company in disguise.

Now both Yunyan and Pan's trading have come to a standstill. And Pan Shicheng's own safety is also a little unpredictable, Lixiangyuan is outside Guangzhou.

On the other side of the bay, there have been frequent haunts recently, and the East India Company has also given Pan Shicheng the most obscure ultimatum, and if they do not agree to the monopoly within a month, they will put pressure on the Qing court.

"Humph! Play ruthlessly, let's try it, Ziqi will bring your people back to Yiliang with me, and call Cen Yuying, I have something to order. ”

handed over some of the back hands to Cen Yuying, and Yang Meng went directly back to Yiliang Manor. Time is too short, Ding Taichen has only completed most of the task, the guns and ammunition are ready, Yunyan is also ready, but the ship is still half missing.

"Less Yunyan, at least a thousand people should be brought, you continue to prepare the ship, I will go to Guangzhou first, and the remaining 1,000 people and Yunyan, let them wait for my news on the border between Guangzhou."

It took about a month or two to go back and forth to Guangzhou, and I wouldn't come for three months, so I asked Wei Huozi to lock up the Yanjin ferry directly, cutting off the connection between Yunnan and the imperial court.

Hurry up and go to western Yunnan, let Sun Boqing be stationed on the spot, the manpower in western Yunnan will be under his control, and after Wei Huozi locks Yanjin, let him directly clean up the green camp in Yunnan. ”

Cen Yuying is in charge there, and Ding Taichen is in charge of the army, once the matter in Guangzhou cannot end, he can only divide Yunnan.

The East India Company's attitude is resolute, and the huge market of clouds and smoke has made these foreign devils crazy, if they can suppress the East India Company this time, then they will be able to buy more time for Yunnan, but the future is unknown, and the result can only depend on the will of God.
