Looking at the uniforms and blades all over the school field, and the only seventy or eighty soldiers left in the field, Lin Zexu was very helpless, although Yang Meng did a good job, but the world is like this, after leaving this batch of green battalion soldiers, recruiting another batch may not be much stronger than this group of people.

The green battalion soldiers who drove away are also a trouble, and the soldiers are bandits, and some of them are likely to fall into the grass, and half of these people are big smokers, and once people take the opium, they will become extremely vicious, and the opium will be broken, and these people will be the same as the birds. The beast doesn't make much difference.

Although he said that the Yang family should make up for the lack of supervisors, Lin Zexu still had a string in his heart that was tight, the Yang family already had Yang Shiqin and Yang Yi, plus the people of the governor, and his authority as the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou was not very easy to use.

It seems that he greatly underestimated this Yang Laosan at the beginning, and made up for the matter of supervising the standard, what Yang Laosan said was reasonable, if he had any crooked thoughts, he would directly give him a chief military officer and let him be idle at home.

"It's easy to make up for the people who are overseer! Now Yunnan is in the season of famine, and there are many hungry people in various places, so there is no need to pay money, as long as people are full of people. ”

Lin Zexu is testing Yang Meng, Yang Meng is also testing Lin Zexu, where is Lin Zexu's bottom line, this is what Yang Meng must figure out, otherwise, many things in the future will not be easy to do.

"Hungry people? Don't you have two or three thousand men in Yiliang? ”

Yang Meng's answer was also a big surprise to Lin Zexu, and it seemed to be a good way to collect the hungry people.

"Those in Yiliang are Lian Yong, their families are all in Yiliang, and they can be used locally. It's not impossible to come out. But it can't be too long. Yiliang is a large agricultural county, and the loss of two or three thousand people will affect the harvest.

Now it's almost the agricultural season, those people can't be dispatched, and besides, unlike other green battalion soldiers, there is not much free time in a year, so it is not appropriate to let Yiliang's regimental training be the supervision! ”

Yang Meng's idea was to pry Lin Zexu to select troops from western Yunnan. The farmer tenants in Yiliang are all loyal to the Yang family, and it is very inappropriate to drag them out to be soldiers, and Lin Zexu's idea must be cut off for him.

"Hmmm! Farming is the most important thing! Who do you think is it better to choose? ”

"This is simpler, the singles scoundrels everywhere, when the epidemic prevention in Yunnan Province was the beginning, I chose the singles scoundrels. They are the unstable factors in the states and counties, and they come together. It's good that there's a discipline, isn't it? ”

Yunnan Mansion is not a good place for selecting soldiers, and Yang Meng is also trying his best to lead Lin Zexu to the west of Yunnan.

"Singles scoundrel? It's a good idea, but these people are used to being unrestrained, and the Governor is the face of the Governor's Palace, so they can't let them ruin the reputation of the Governor's Palace. ”

Yang Meng's idea was really good, but Lin Zexu faintly felt that something was wrong, and by stretching his words, Lin Laohu was also rapidly calculating the gains and losses.

"It's simple, it's just a matter of killing if you don't go along! Kill and injure hundreds, keep them honest, and fight wherever they want! ”

Okay! If I want to kill someone again, I feel that something is wrong, it turns out that this pit is here!

"It's not right, so be it! The western part of Yunnan was also affected by the disaster, and the supervising manpower was selected from the western part of Yunnan, the mountain people, the Han people, the Hui Hui, and some single scoundrels, which will also facilitate us to deal with the affairs of all ethnic groups in Yunnan in the future.

And how do you practice these handhands you chose? This army is not overnight, you are familiar with the military formation, don't come to the time to employ people, your supervisor can't take it! ”

To solve the affairs of Yunnan, it is indispensable to use knives and guns, Lin Zexu also has some aftertaste, Yang Meng dispersed to supervise the standard, as if he was delaying time! Yongchang's matter, although it is not very urgent, but it is also a royal case, and it will not be possible if it is not handled, it seems that the Yang family has a lot of trouble with themselves for Yang Yi's matter.

The drama is here, since Lin Zexu agreed to select troops from western Yunnan, then the next step is to make a fortune, things are going well, with Lin Laohu's hatred of opium, the matter is done!

"My lord, in the three provinces of Yunnan, Guichuan and Sichuan, there are many people who do opium business, most of them have strong men and evil slaves, and the matter of training soldiers is also simple, you give a military order, I will take the men and horses of the superintendent to sweep the opium dealers in the three provinces of Yunnan, Guichuan and Sichuan, no matter who he is, as long as he is an opium seller, he will be killed and cut off!"

There are so many hungry people in Yunnan that after three or five months of killing, not only will the opium in the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan be empty, but the superintendent of Yunnan will also be useful.

There are also big smokers all over Yunnan, and they also happened to take advantage of this opportunity to kill a batch, and now it is a famine, they are smoking big cigarettes and wasting food, which is not a good thing, and they will do it together, and return the court to a clear and bright Yunnan. ”

Although He Changling strongly advocated banning smoking, the Yang family at that time did not have this ability, and Li Xingyuan could not say that he and the Yang family could not pee in the same pot, this Lin Laohu hated opium, and it seemed that it was time for opium to disappear in Yunnan.

Yang Meng's abacus is good, he has banned smoking, quitting smoking, and making a fortune from smoking, but he doesn't know what to do, this smoking ban is a serious illness in Lin Zexu's heart. Gengzi Nian was delayed for four or five years because of opium.

Now that opium has been poisoned in the Qing Dynasty, the ban on smoking has become a taboo topic that cannot be touched, and now there are many Manchu and Han ministers who are planning to levy taxes on opium trading, and in some places, taxes have already begun, and it is said that the benefits are quite considerable, and it is not a good time to ban smoking.

Opium trading, to the old merchants of the Thirteen Lines of Guangzhou as the most, now most of the opium trading in the Qing Dynasty is manipulated behind their backs, huge interests, so that they in a few years, formed a huge interest group, now doing this, I am afraid that I will not be able to keep the position of the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou.

But opium is a poison that brings disaster to the country and the people, and he can't help but be inconsistent with his own intentions, thinking about the big smokers, thinking about half of the governors in Yunnan, Lin Zexu doesn't know what to say.

"The matter...... The matter ...... Alas...... May I think about it? ”

This is the first time Lin Zexu has shown timidity, Yang Meng can't help but look down on this Qing Dynasty Huchen, the smoking ban is good, if it doesn't work, it won't work, Lin Zexu is afraid and looks forward and backward. Is it older? Timid but small?

After Lin Zexu finished speaking, he also felt ashamed for a while. In the four or five years of his border career, there were too many corrupt officials and redundant officials in the imperial court, and bandits were rampant in various parts of the Qing Dynasty. It is right to set an example.

Do a good job in Yunnan, Ze is the people! Now the ban on smoking will only make you lose ground again, now is different from the past, your own holy family is not as good as before, opium in the Qing Dynasty is not only a poison, it also represents an interest group, and now I am far from being the opponent of this interest group.

Reckless actions will only make the Holy Lord and his own plan stillborn. Instantaneous effort. Lin Zexu thought about a lot of things, forbidden and couldn't help it. How to choose, he already has a very accurate choice in his heart, but ...... It's just unspeakable.

"Then the mark is waiting for the military order of the adult! My lord, there is another question under the mark, what is the number of people who are the superintendents? ”

Lin Laohu is really old, the old courage is gone, this is not a bad thing for Yang Meng, the more scruples Lin Laohu has, the more he can't do anything, the world is popular! After the catastrophe of Gengzi, Lin Laohu is no longer Lin Laohu.

"There are 1,800 people on the roster, how many strong men do you need to recruit to train this number of elite soldiers?"

mentioned the ban on smoking, Lin Zexu's interest was greatly reduced, and he had no mind at all, opium should be banned, but his arms couldn't reach his thighs, so he kept a useful body for the time being, and served the imperial court.

"Double the number of 3,600 people, as for the military salary, you can rest assured, for the time being, as long as you are full, I will try to find some people with few families, through the training of the army and slowly select, in three or five months, more than 1,500 people should be selected, and then the superintendent should be able to fight a war."

How many are chosen, through the formation of the superintendent this time, Yang Meng wants to pull some of the more unruly mountain people from the western part of Yunnan to Kunming, train them by himself, plus dozens of good hands under the Du Three Tigers, and are not afraid that these mountain people will have any crooked thoughts.

"Hmmm! Just do as you say! 3,600 people, don't set the selection standard too high, you can use it, after all, Yunnan is now a famine season, we have more people here, and there will be more batches of grain in western Yunnan.

The guns of this green camp are a little unhelpful, your family has a shop in Guangzhou, right? In a few days I will consult with your father to see if I can take some money from the copper and salt classes and buy some Western muskets and cannons.

Don't go too far about the smoking ban, the money and food in the green camp are limited, and you can do some business secretly. ”

The governor of Yunnan and Guizhou is in charge of the military and political affairs of the two provinces, the green camp in Yunnan is not available, and there is not much difference in Guizhou.

Zhang Bilu is a veteran of the imperial court, although his skills are good, but he does not have a murderous intention like Yang Laosan, half of the governors of the Governor's Mansion are smokers, and Guizhou is definitely not much stronger.

The matter of Yongchang is also a difficult lawsuit, it is reported that the general manager of the Yongchang regiment has changed hands, Lin Zexu issued an edict to dissolve Yongchang in the past, it is not very easy to make, Yongchang Mansion said that it was dissolved, but whether it was dissolved or not, the official gentry of Yongchang are clear, and Lin Zexu is also very clear.

Yang Meng is responsible for preparing the manpower of the superintendent, Zhang Bilu is training the green battalion soldiers in Guizhou, and it will take two or three months to wait for the soldiers in his hands to be available, so that he can start to deal with the affairs of Yongchang.

And the last sentence is the real drama, Lin Zexu hates those opium dealers, and the superintendent is short of money, this is not that it can't be flexible, what the Yang family has done, Lin Zexu also has a number in his heart.

But the ban on smoking is a good thing after all, those opium dealers can die as many as they want, but things have to be done in secret, leak! He, Lin Zexu, will not be responsible.

"The standard of the province will never make it difficult for adults, the supervision of this new group, is it to train troops in Kunming or go to western Yunnan to train troops?"

The second brother Yang Yi is in Yongchang in western Yunnan, Yang Meng still doesn't feel very relieved, the seven incense clubs and Shen Zhenda's power in Yongchang is deep-rooted, the second brother goes to poke that hornet's nest, now is really not a good time, although there are more than a thousand new troops over there, but once the fight starts, Lin Zexu will not be easy to coax.

It would be a good choice to bring the new group's 3,600 superintendents over, if Shen Zhenda and Qijiao would not know each other, they would just use the reason for military training to uproot them once and for all.

What Yang Meng is planning, Lin Zexu also knows in his heart, if it was before today, Lin Zexu would definitely agree to him, but Yang Laosan's murderous intent is too great, five or six hundred people, and if he doesn't blink his eyes, he will be buried alive, in case of conflict with Yongchang's whistle training......

Lin Zexu is not afraid of the defeat of the superintendent, he is afraid of Yang Laosan's victory, with his temperament, he can't get Yongchang's tens of thousands of whistle training, and there is a possibility of 18,000 casualties, so this matter is categorically unacceptable.

"There is also a famine in western Yunnan, compared to western Yunnan, the situation in Kunming is much better, let's go to Kunming to train troops! Star Dou! The matter of the superintendent will be handed over to you, and the governor's palace can't take much out of the money, and you have to figure out some things yourself!

Let's do what we say first, if it doesn't work, let's discuss it later. ”

After saying this, Lin Zexu and the people from the Governor's Mansion left the school in a hurry, looking at Lin Zexu's back, Yang Meng saw more loneliness and decay. (To be continued......)
