handed over the matter of compilation to Wei Ge and the others, and Yang Meng found Qin Ziqi and Sun Boqing, who had been following Wei Wu as students in the academy.

"Ziqi, Boqing, how are you doing in the academy recently?"

"Not bad."

Qin Ziqi replied respectfully, but Sun Boqing ignored it a little, he was trapped in the academy for half a year, and his body was about to grow hair, what good could he do?

"Huh! I have something to tell you to do, but if you do this, you won't be able to see anyone in the future, do you want to do it? ”

Seeing Sun Boqing's angry appearance, Yang Meng smiled, among the heirs of his old man's old brothers, Ding Taichen and Sun Boqing are the ones who can be used now, and the others still have to go through the school examination.

"But it's up to the third master to arrange!"

"As long as you don't stay in the academy, you can say anything!"

"Let you be the shadow of Yunnan, will you do it?"

What Yang Meng meant, Qin Ziqi understood as soon as he heard it, and Sun Boqing was a little confused.

"Shadows? What do you mean? ”

"It's the so-called secret spy! Our stall is getting bigger and bigger, it is inevitable that there will be some unscrupulous things, what you have to do is to monitor the Yang family's up and down, as long as it is the Yang family's territory, no matter where the situation occurs, you will all know about it, and report the whole story to me.

If you want to do it, you are also the first choice, Ziqi is in charge of civil affairs, and Boqing is in charge of martial affairs. Monitoring the affairs of the Yang family, except for the three of us, no one can tell the rest, if you agree, I will entrust you two foreign deacons to temporarily manage the punishment of the Yang family. ”

Ge Shiyang's question about the copper mine made Yang Meng more cautious. He has always kept Qin Ziqi without using it. Herein lies the purpose. Let him be the head of the spy under his command.

Recently, the relationship between Qin Ziqi and that woman has become more and more intimate, according to Qin Ziqi's temperament, this is falling in love, with concern, this Qin Ziqi is available.

Sun Boqing's relationship with himself is to break bones and tendons, and he will not betray easily. These two Sun Boqing contain Qin Ziqi, and Qin Ziqi will also contain Sun Boqing, and the word loyalty is not in Yang Meng's dictionary.

I sometimes betray myself, let alone others? The current Yang family is involved in commerce, the government, and the army, and these things in the shadows have also come to use.

"Third Master, where did our manpower come from?"

Ignoring Sun Boqing, who was shocked, Qin Ziqi raised his own question.

"Academy! Folk! Caravan! Orion! As long as it's a good hand, you can all be absorbed into the team. But there is a limit. You can't have too many people under your command right now, but you can put eyeliner everywhere. These people are not counted as direct members.

I will give you the best money and weapons and equipment, but there is a bottom line that cannot be broken, the people you are looking for must be loyal to me Yang Meng, without loyalty, no matter how good the people are, they can't use it! ”

This shadow army, Yang Meng must hold it tightly in his hands, with Qin Ziqi and Sun Boqing, no matter who wants to subvert the Yang family, he can crush him with his backhand.

"Third Master, do you want to monitor whoever it is?"

Recovering from the shock, Sun Boqing also asked, what should be done, he also has to have a bottom.

"Hmmm! Including me and the people around the old man, don't interfere with the female dependents, I will make other arrangements.

All the information involving the direct line of the Yang family, you can't handle it without authorization, you must get my consent! ”

On the side of the female dependent, Tang Meiyi is a good choice, she has been accepted by herself and is a usable woman.

It is not enough for Qin Ziqi and Sun Boqing to contain each other, they will be the last insurance of this shadow army, and it is very useful to build this thing, but once it is out of control, the risk is even greater.

"Third master, what about outside Yunnan?"

When he asked this, Qin Ziqi was also careful, and his voice was almost inaudible.

"Ziqi, you are very good! It is a good material to do this, outside of Yunnan, for the time being, the target is Guizhou, Sichuan, Tibet, Gansu and Shaanxi, and the most important thing is Jingshi. A few years ago, I sent a group of people to Jingshi, and one of them was Mr. Wei's original butler, and when things are almost done here in Yunnan, you will go to Jingshi and lay a nail over there, which will be of great use in the future.

You have been in the academy for half a year, and you know the students here, looking for a good candidate these days, get a note to come up, and I will ask Mr. Wei for someone. Remember! No matter what kind of business the Yang family runs, you must be more proficient than those stewards.

Boqing, you should go to western Yunnan recently! I've gathered tens of thousands of people over there, and you can first select 500 elite Orions to be the team of your shadow army.

These days, my focus is on you and the new army, first put up the shelf, I will teach you some new things, these things, you have to choose the professor, don't teach the apprentices, starve you two masters. ”

The general structure of the shadow force, let the two of them figure it out by themselves first, it is really unsatisfactory, Yang Meng will help them again, as for what to teach the two of them, he has to go back and think about it, or teach the apprentice to starve to death in one sentence, this shadow force, must be used carefully, and must not let their power be too great.

"Yes! Five days is about the same, the third master has explained before, Boqing and I have also done homework, the students of the academy, which ones are available and which are not, we also have a rough standard in our hearts, two or three hundred people are still selected. ”

Qin Ziqi is cautious, Yang Meng can trust it, but this Sun Boqing himself doesn't know his temperament very well, and he has to go over and ask Wei Wu about this matter, this old traitor has a unique way of looking at people.

waved the two away, and Yang Meng brought Wei Wu again.

"Old Wei, how is Sun Boqing?"

"The mind is a little gloomy, and he is also a generous person when he looks at his actions, this person is good, but he lacks some tricks and tricks, and he lacks to be a deputy, but he is a brilliant character."

Four or five months is enough for Wei Wu to understand a person, and his evaluation of Sun Boqing will definitely not be lost. But Yang Laosan asked what he was doing with this, could he not poach people from the academy again?

"What about Qin Ziqi?"

"Qin Ziqi? This person is not available. Extreme and cynical, temperament like a jackal. Stay by your side and be a minion. Releasing it must be a trouble-causing seedling. I heard that he has suffered a great change, such a person does not belong to the mind, and it is unpredictable to know whether he can use it or not.

However, this Qin Ziqi's foundation is good, erudite and treacherous, and his heart is as strong as iron and stone. It's a pity that this piece of good material. If it hadn't been for that incident, this man would have inherited my mantle. ”

Wei Wu's analysis of Qin Ziqi, Yang Meng felt that it was very good, this old traitor, it would be good if he could do things for himself with an iron heart, thinking of Wei Wu's mantle, Yang Meng thought of Cen Yuying, who was doing chores next to the old man.

"Old Wei, what about Cen Yuying's kid?"

"What a clever little ghost! Compared with Qin Ziqi, it is a good material that can be beaten. That little ghost has more than enough changes and insufficient self-cultivation. It needs to be polished! The third master has taken a fancy to the ability of the old man? It's good to give Cen Yuying's little doll. ”

did not refuse to accept the apprentice Wei Wu, Cen Yuying is a good character. There are few heirs of their own family, and when Cen Yuying becomes a power in the future, he can also take care of his children and grandchildren.

"Hmmm! These days, you can get some people and hand them over to the old man! happened to replace Cen Yuying back. In the past few days, Qin Ziqi has to get rid of a group of people, don't stumble on him in this matter, I will explain it.

There is also the opening matter, you have to hurry up, once this new army is formed, there will be more things on my side, first send some people to Zhuangzi's side to listen to the order! As for the master you invited, I'll talk about it when I arrive. The opening should be placed in front of Qin Ziqi. ”

After the new army and the shadow army are completed, then their roots will be firmly established, and the next step is to open a trade route, the matter of Sichuan copper entering Yunnan has been completed, and the matter of the new army entering Sichuan should also be put on the agenda.

These things are disorganized, and it is still a little inadequate to control the overall situation by yourself, and the opening is the first to bear the brunt.

After dealing with the affairs of the academy, there was news from Yiliang Manor, it was Ding Taichen who sent it, and there was a problem in Guangzhou.

Hurriedly returned to the manor, Ding Taichen took out Pan Shicheng's letter.

"Read it to me!"

The new army has just improved here, and there is a problem in Guangzhou, and I don't know what's going on.

Ding Taichen finished reading Pan Shicheng's letter, Yang Meng's brows also wrinkled tightly, the benefits of clouds and smoke and the monopoly of goods, not only did he think of it, but the foreign devils also took out this weapon.

Milican merchants, French merchants, and the East India Company are all interested in Yunyan, the Yang family has paid 100,000 catties, and Pan Shicheng has almost this amount, it seems that Yunyan's market in Europe and the United States has been opened.

Countries competed for the monopoly of Yunyan, and Pan Shicheng had no idea there, and wanted Yang Meng to give a charter.

Yunyan is popular with the great powers, Yang Meng has this mental preparation, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly, relying on the Qing Dynasty to do business, and now the disadvantages have appeared, the great powers have the advantage in the country, and Pan Shicheng wants to do business on an equal footing, which is definitely a luxury.

Now it's a negotiation, but what will be the next trick of the foreign devil, Yang Meng knows and understands. It seems that the new army is about to speed up its formation, and if it is not clear that there will be any ups and downs in Guangzhou.

"Taichen, send a letter to Guangzhou, the last batch of goods, as long as the cash and other things, do not want. The delivery was stopped on the West Mountain, and the knife hands in my eldest brother's hands gathered for me. When I went to Minghu, I found Wei Huozi, as well as the blacksmith from Xishan. ”

The Guangzhou trade route is a source of money, and it must not be cut off, and if you don't get it, you will have to go to Guangdong again, and some things still have to be prepared in advance.

Instructed the blacksmith in Xishan to pick out the muskets and artillery that could be used in the warehouse, the same system, allocated 5,000 pieces to Wei Huozi, and prepared all the ammunition, Wei Huozi's task in the past few days is very simple, that is, to practice guns.

As soon as the letter from Guangzhou arrived, Yang Meng's time became nervous, Qin Ziqi and Sun Boqing could only let the two of them act on their own, sort out the things that could be used, teach them to the two first, and then free up time to adjust the shadow troops!

After finding some charcoal strips of paper, Yang Meng worked hard for two days before he put some things out of the system, although it was not the best means for later generations, but it was enough to use in the Qing Dynasty.

Reconnaissance, espionage, assassination, infiltration, and the training methods when he was a mercenary were sorted out by Yang Meng, although there were a lot of omissions, but they were also relatively systematic materials.

found Qin Ziqi and Sun Boqing, Yang Meng taught them these things, and made a gentleman who answered the doubts, and the two learned a rough idea of what Yang Meng explained, and the three thousand people and horses of Wei Huozi were also selected. (To be continued......)
