The monopoly is very difficult to solve, and the Huichao merchant gang does not give Pan Shicheng face at all, they are on the big ship of the East India Company, and now they are thinking about how to carve up Pan Shicheng's industry, talk about cooperation? It's simply not possible.

Don't you take the opportunity to kill Pan Shicheng, wait for him to recover, and then deal with the Huichao merchant gang? Even the Chaozhou merchant gang where Pan Shicheng was born now is extremely hostile to Pan Shicheng's own family, and he can't wait to peel the skin and eat meat, let alone the Huizhou merchant gang.

The stewards who went to negotiate with the Mifa merchants brought back mixed news, and the cotton yarn merchants, cotton cloth merchants, and arms merchants of Milican strongly agreed with this matter, and they were eager to immediately sign the letter of intent with the Pan family's Tongfu Tea Shop.

The same is true in France, where there are many merchants in the cotton spinning industry, and other merchants dealing in watches and crafts are preparing to form an alliance to boycott the so-called letter of intent of the Tongfu Tea Shop.

The East India Company also knew the news, and specially sent someone to Lixiang Garden, in addition to leaving a sternly worded letter, the English business representative who took the lead in coming was in Lixiang Garden, and viciously threatened Pan Shicheng.

Yang Meng, who was sitting behind the screen, the knuckles of the knife were white, these dogs were too deceitful.

"Father-in-law, let's not talk about it these days. Go to the Governor's Mansion in Canton! Here's what I'll solve. ”

Pan Shicheng sent away the commercial representative of the East India Company, and he was also worried, the trickiness of the matter was far beyond his imagination, not only the familiar Chaozhou merchants did not support him. The Huizhou merchant gang shouted and killed. Even the English East India Company ran to the doorstep and slapped it in the face.

"Star Dou! Things still have to be discussed. What can I do when I go to the Doge's Palace? It's better to stay in Lixiangyuan and sit in town, and the stewards will go out to talk about things, so they can have confidence. ”

What is his beloved son-in-law going to do, Pan Shicheng knows very well that he has learned the methods of his lovely son-in-law, and it is not easy to destroy people at every turn, and it is not easy to slaughter the Huichao merchant gang. Most of the water bandits, sea bandits, and mountain bandits outside Guangzhou were hired by these people, and there were many of them in the thousands.

Although his beloved son-in-law also brought more than 1,000 people, he couldn't fight the wolves, and he didn't have the experience to talk about the knife soldiers, so he was afraid that his son-in-law would do things out of control.

"Father-in-law, rest assured, this time the action is only aimed at the bandits hired by the Huichao Merchant Gang, and if you are afraid of the Huichao Merchant Gang first, you will not be afraid that they will not talk about things well. You can set up a restaurant in Guangzhou City and tell those Huichao merchants openly. This time Lao Tzu fought the bandits, and next time it will be the slaughter merchant gang.

You also have a task to go to Guangzhou City, and you will bring gold and silver to buy off the officials from the top and bottom of Guangzhou, and give me a high-sounding account for this operation. It's good in the name of being ordered to suppress bandits, father-in-law, don't you still have a regimental hat there? This time, the Yunnan New Army will use muskets, and you will have to greet this in the Governor's Palace.

It was the same with the general of Guangzhou, the head obtained by the bandits was the credit of the officials of the two Guangzhous and the general of Guangzhou, and a lot of gold and silver were sprinkled, and what the son-in-law wanted was that they did not pay attention to the fire near Guangzhou, and just waited for the fishermen's profits.

This must be done, otherwise the foundation of the Yang Pan family in Guangzhou will be abolished, father-in-law, do you have any difficulties over there? ”

If it doesn't make sense, you have to use the knife, the East India Company can't get it now, first take the bandits hired by the Huichao Merchants to relieve their anger, suppress the Huichao Merchants Gang, and use the trade of the Qing Dynasty as the hole card, it should be possible to sit down and negotiate with the East India Company.

"Xingdou, although this matter is feasible, I am afraid that the origin of the bandits hired by the Huichao Shang Gang is unknown, in case we get into trouble with the White Lotus Sect or the Heaven and Earth Society, or the Hongmen in the south, we will be in trouble in the future!

Liangguang generation, the strength of these gangs is not small, you have to be cautious when you do it! Their influence among the people is not small, and some gangs are the branches of these gangs, and if they move in one place, they will touch the hornet's nest! ”

Pan Shicheng suppressed the Yaomin uprising back then, and the remnants of the White Lotus Sect did not play a good role. His beloved son-in-law is a killer, and it is not a good thing to stir up the people's tide.

"It doesn't matter! I'll let them know before I do it. Withdraw! is to be kind to the Yang family, and I, Yang San, sent it to the coil. No refund! is the enemy of the Yang family, then I can only send a coffin.

Father-in-law, as long as you appease the generals of Liangguang and Guangzhou, and do other things, the Guangzhou trade route is very important to us, no matter how much money you spend to kill how many people are worth it! ”

The Guangzhou trade route is now very important, and it is related to the development of Yunnan, and the equipment, technology, and munitions will all take the Pearl River waterway during this period. The relationship between the Yangtze River Copper Road is too complicated, and it is only possible to walk once or twice once or twice, and I am afraid that Baoxing, the governor of Sichuan, will take the opportunity to make trouble.

did not stabilize the line of Dechang, before taking Baoxing, the Pearl River waterway could not be easily scrapped, and once it was abolished, the delay time would be counted. In case things turn out for the worst, it is unknown whether the Yang family will be able to gain a foothold in Yunnan.

"Alright! Less killing, wanton killing after all, it hurts the heavens and peace, I will do it at the Governor's Palace, but if it doesn't work, we will abandon Guangzhou and go back to Yunnan. ”

As a businessman, as a literati, and as an official gentry, it is difficult for Pan Shicheng to accept Yang Meng's methods, although this is a good way, but for Pan Shicheng, who claims to be a scholar, he personally participated in such bloodshed, and his heart is still very big.

It's one thing to praise Yang Meng for acting neatly, and it's another thing to suppress the Yaomin uprising by himself, Yaomin is barbarian and can't enter Pan Shicheng's eyes, but those Huichao businessmen are almost the same as themselves, in case he is a beloved son-in-law, the butcher's knife will not stop in one fell swoop, Pan Shicheng will inevitably have the sadness of the rabbit and the fox in his heart.

"Son-in-law saved! As long as they sit in the right position, they will be fine, if they have to sit on the threshold to block the door, then there is no way, we want to live well, we can only use their bones to pave the way. ”

Pan Shicheng's performance, Yang Meng was a little dissatisfied, since he got on the boat of the Yang family, it should be as Wei Wu said, everyone can work together to share the glory, and now he has only killed a few people, and his father-in-law has compassion? Back then, he organized Minzhuang to quell the rebellion of the Yao people, but he was not so indecisive.

By this time, I also have to knock it, and the mall is like a battlefield. The performance of the Huichao Merchant Gang proves this. Fall into the well! To appease the enemy is to dig a grave for oneself. Take this opportunity to take the opportunity to slaughter a few merchants, and your father-in-law should be in the water, and it will be difficult to turn over!

"Okay! I'll give you a list, the merchants on it, try to put it away, these people also have roots in the court. Two or three together, I can't cope with it. ”

The merchants of Liangguang have also made windfalls with foreigners in recent years, and many merchants have been cut off from officialdom, plus these wealth, the power of these people in the imperial court is terrifying!

He Pan Yang's power is not afraid of them in the shopping mall, but in the officialdom, he and Yang Shiqin in Yunnan. It can only be regarded as just touching the door, and it is still far from the hall!

Both are official deals. Once he loses power in the imperial court, the impact on business is also fatal, which is the reason why Pan Shicheng hesitated.

Yang Meng took the list given by Pan Shicheng, and sent 300 people from Yunnan to escort Pan Shicheng to Guangzhou City together with Zhuang Ding of Lixiangyuan.

Yang Meng also avoided the White Lotus Sect and the Heaven and Earth Society that his father-in-law Pan Shicheng said, and only let Yang Fuliang choose a gang with a bad reputation. But these targets must be powerful and powerful, otherwise they will not be enough to deter the Huichao merchant gang.

For the Huichao merchant gang, Yang Meng also informed Yang Fuliang that the people he brought to deal with the gang, while Yang Fuliang's people wanted to slaughter a few Huichao merchants who sold opium, and the evidence obtained from the house was confiscated, and a small part of the family property had to be solved in Guangzhou City.

It is not easy to search and kill merchants with backgrounds, this black pot can only be carried by the officials of Liangguang, I believe that the small half of the family property, and the mansion land of Huichao merchants, will arouse their interest.

The 470 elite swordsmen of the Yang family who stayed in Lixiangyuan, and the 500 people of the Yunnan New Army, were the main force of this operation, Qin Ziqi led the team, and Yang Meng led the 500 new army and sat in Lixiangyuan.

"Ziqi, this time out of the river to start ruthlessly, the means must be vicious, after the bandits and water bandits were slaughtered, they got wet grass on the boat where they lived, and the smoke on the Pearl River channel should be seen by the people of Guangzhou City.

The same is true for the mountain bandits on the road, the house where they live is also burned, but the owner of the house must be compensated with gold and silver, so that they can go back to the governor's palace to complain, accusing the Hui Chao merchant gang of colluding with the bandits to harm the good people.

Don't kill them all, pick some unknowing soft bones, punish them again, scatter their spirit, these people are the evidence of the gang's crime, if you can bring out the people of the Huichao Shang Gang, it is better, but you can't expose our line of hiding, you and Fuliang are angry, do it carefully.

After the people are killed, take the head to the city of Guangzhou, and Master Pan has someone to answer it, and don't bring back the goods you get, but scatter them into the hands of the people, and send a few people with good tongues to spread something useful to us among the people, which can provoke them to complain to the governor's palace. ”

Yang Meng believes that if he comes down with his fists, the Huichao Merchant Gang will be dumbfounded, and his father-in-law Pan Shicheng will be their savior, as long as he holds the Huichao Merchant Gang, plus Mifa's letter of intent, he is not afraid that the East India Company will not bow his head.

"Third master, don't worry, I will do things properly."

Qin Ziqi led the troops for the first time, and he was inevitably a little excited in his heart, this poison-hearted talent also knelt down to receive orders, and he had the posture of a military person.

"This is the first battle of the new army in Yunnan, we must take the sons and daughters to fight morale and prestige, let those five hundred old swordsmen see the methods of the new army, I will bring these people back to Yunnan, you teach them a lesson first."

The five hundred swordsmen of Lixiangyuan are different from the new army, they are all carefully selected and available people by the Yang family, and it is very sad that thirty Yang Meng died at once, these people are all candidates for officers in western Yunnan in Yang Meng's heart.

Three days later, first of all, the main channel of the Pearl River, dozens of large and small boats were burned in one day, billowing thick smoke, enveloping the entire river, the scorching smell of burning corpses, diffused for dozens of miles, in the city of Guangzhou, you can also see the black smoke drifting in the air.

Several warehouses on the outskirts of Guangzhou were also caught in flames the next day, and the smoke went straight to the sky like wolf smoke. Seeing this, the officials and gentry of Guangzhou City were not afraid at all, but their faces showed joy, and looking at the fireworks outside the city, the mood of many officials was also rising.

"O Deji! Isn't this a bit of a fuss? Guangzhou has been rampant with water bandits since the opening of the port, but after robbing you of a batch of tea goods, I am afraid that someone in the imperial court will point to our backbone and scold! Kill the good and take the risk, presumably those clear streams said it. ”

The governor of Liangguang, Qi Ying, although he spoke with some disapproval, his voice was full of joy.

"Kill the good and take the credit, and these Qingliu think of it. Since Gengzi, how many black cauldrons has the governor carried for the imperial court, and these clear streams can be seen in the eyes?

The Green Battalion and the Eight Banners are not in good hands, how can they do if they lose consecutive battles and do not sign a contract? Let those clear streams go up and try it? Standing and talking doesn't hurt your back! If it weren't for the Governor's ability to deal with foreigners, I think the content of this contract would have been harsh! ”

Pan Shicheng's sycophant was also shot very accurately, and the smile on Qiying's face became more and more.

"The Guangdong water bandits intercepted and killed the merchants, plotted lawlessness, and wanted to rebel against the imperial court, and the officials of Guangzhou worked hard to kill the bandits at sea. O Deji! What do you think of this excerpt? ”

"Your Excellency the Governor is skillful, but he can't do it! Lord Governor, how can you make this ink and paper so simple, De Ji has recently obtained a set of Song Shi pen inkstones, as well as a few knives of jade paper, which have been placed in the gatehouse, and the Governor can use it in his spare time, and it is also good to write and paint for a while. ”

Tens of thousands of taels of literary toys were sent out, and Qiying was not stingy with pen and ink, and Pan Shicheng added a thick ink and light color to the top of the fold. (To be continued......)
