Chapter 668: Patrolling the City
"Pan Futai stays, this coastal defense battalion belongs to Guangzhou, after the affairs of the military power are handed over, go back and settle the house!"
Yang Meng wanted to take Ye Mingchen and others out, but also to create an opportunity for Lao Taishan to transfer military power, as long as there are 3,000 coastal defense battalions, Guangzhou's world, it is not the more than 5,000 Eight Banners soldiers who have the final say.
"Humph!"
Seeing that Pan Shicheng was a soft bone, Ye Mingchen could only snort coldly, that's the way it is, if this knife is not on his neck, he doesn't know how powerful it is.
"Ye Mingchen, don't hum, if there are only a thousand soldiers around Guangzhou, Lao Tzu will kill you directly!
Guangzhou is the capital of a province, and it has to face the threat of Yangyi, and the troops gathered in two hours are not more than a thousand, how can this huge city of Guangzhou be defended?
If you lose Guangzhou, Yangyi will be able to crisscross the two Guangzhous along the Pearl River, and you will not be afraid of 10,000 in case, once the soldiers are insufficient, don't blame me if you die! ”
Ye Mingchen, Yang Meng has also heard of it, lost the people of Guangzhou, such a person is not worthy of pity, and his status is also a threat to Yang Meng, Ye Zhongtang! Such a person is going to be suppressed to death, misleading the country and the people, and slaughtering his family, Yang Meng will not have any mercy.
Under the protection of Jianwei, more than a dozen high-ranking officials of the Liangguang Government Office began to patrol the city with steps.
Everyone first arrived at a school field in the city, Guangzhou is the provincial capital after all, it is still very easy for Ye Mingchen to gather 1,800 people, nodded heads, more than 1,300 green battalion soldiers, just hastily assembled, this army is not very good-looking, as for weapons. Waist knives and spears are the majority. Beating the common people should barely make a living.
"What a bunch of rubbish! Point at this bunch of garbage. 300,000 can't hold the city walls of Guangzhou!
Ye Zhongtang said that the soldiers instigated one and the will instigate a nest, with such a group of wastes in hand, your ability is also spinning in the waste.
Such men and horses can barely compare to the baggage soldiers near Jiujiang.
Let's disperse! ”
The gathered Green Battalion Military Committee is really unsightly, and Yang Laosan's sarcastic words, Ye Mingchen really took it.
"Yang Junmen's vision is high, we are small families, so naturally we can't compare."
"Ye Zhongtang. Let's plan for training! There must be a war between the Qing Dynasty and Yangyi, sooner or later, as Ye Zhongtang, I am afraid that he is qualified to know about the Crimean War, and such news is that the Yang family's business in Guangzhou found out from the mouths of Western sailors.
The geography of Guangzhou is too unfavorable for us, once Yangyi makes a move, Guangzhou is afraid that it will be the first to suffer, Ye Zhongtang, what do you say about this? ”
Something. Yang Meng also needed the assistance of Ye Mingchen, the governor of Liangguang, and there was already a Huang Zonghan before. This time, I am afraid that the imperial court will fight fifty boards each, and it is very difficult to transfer Ye Mingchen away!
"Yang Butang has trained his troops well, if the imperial court allows it, this matter will naturally depend on Yang Butang."
Ye Mingchen, the anger in his heart was high, but in the face of Yang Laosan's splash, he could only force his anger, otherwise what else could he do? Fight with this?
"Lao Tzu on the court side has his own share, just look at the more than 1,000 people, the green camp in Guangdong is also rotten to the house, the recent military salary, don't allocate it first, wait for the court to have an edict.
The west gate of Guangzhou's city defense is the key, and the west gate, which is close to the mouth of the Pearl River, is undoubtedly a weakness of Guangzhou; once the sea ships enter the mouth of the Pearl River, most of Guangzhou is within the range of artillery.
Ye Zhongtang, let's go to the West Gate to have a look, shall we? ”
Although it was a tone of asking for instructions, Yang Meng's footsteps did not stop at the school ground, and he took the officials of the Liangguang Official Office and climbed the city wall of the West Gate.
After walking for more than ten miles on a hot day, many officials' official mansions were soaked, and in addition to drinking a few bowls of herbal tea on the way, the stomachs of many high-ranking officials were also 'cooing'.
"Yang Butang, it's time for dinner!"
Usually at this time, it is the time when Ye Mingchen has finished his lunch to recuperate, and he was disturbed by Yang Laosan at noon, and he stiffened up in the Governor's Mansion for two hours, and in this evening, Ye Mingchen couldn't bear it.
"Hungry! Guangzhou Green Camp is like this, you still want to eat, it's a pity to eat! Listen, the words that fell behind will be chopped directly! I can't even walk this little way, and keeping it is also a waste of the court's salary! ”
Ye Mingchen's superintendent, a few of them fell behind, Yang Meng went over and smelled it, his body was full of smoke, waved his hand, and walked! With a swing of his knife, he chopped off the few smokers who had fallen behind.
"Yang Laosan, you ......"
Who would have thought that this Yang Laosan would kill him if he said it? Seeing Yang Laosan take the lives of four or five people lightly, Ye Mingchen's face turned green directly.
"Smoker, kill! Does Ye Zhongtang know what Lao Tzu uses to train soldiers? Lian Yong of this new move has never seen much blood, and killing the smoke ghost makes Xinyong see blood, which is a good way!
I don't know how many smokers can be killed in these two Guangzhous? ”
Play according to the rules, Yang Meng is not Ye Mingchen's opponent, if you want to crush a feudal official like Ye Mingchen, you can only go beyond the rules, with Yang Meng's identity, kill a few people, to be honest, killing is also killing for nothing, this is the beauty of authority, sometimes you can do whatever you want.
After killing people, he didn't look at it, and threw it on the side of the road.
Everyone climbed the city wall, the Pearl River estuary set by the sunset, a fire, looking at the orange river, Yang Meng's eyes fell on the position of the thirteen lines, there are countless houses around the thirteen lines, if this is a fire, there is a lively look.
"Ye Zhongtang, looking at this sunset river scene, I don't know how you feel?"
"It's almost night, it's time for the Ghost to take the stage."
"Hmmm! Each has its own feelings! Lao Tzu was thinking, if Lao Tzu fought Guangzhou, what kind of situation would it be to put a big fire in these thirteen lines?
Outside the city, these few miles are full of commercial houses, most of which are made of wood, and a fire can burn them to the ground!
The long-haired thieves attacked Changsha and Wuchang, but they didn't use the houses outside the city, and it was better for these houses to move early. Otherwise, Ye Zhongtang will not be able to eat and sleep in Guangzhou! ”
Ye Mingchen pointed to Sang and scolded Huai. Yang Meng didn't care. The words directly pointed out a big weakness of Guangzhou City.
"Humph! It's just a few private houses, it's better to keep them, if Yangyi comes to attack, a fire can be rented for a day or two, whether Ye is safe in Guangzhou City, don't worry about it. ”
This is called each having his own opinion, right? What Yang Meng was afraid of was that the area around the Thirteen Elements would be burned and the army would not be able to advance, and Ye Mingchen relied on burning the Thirteen Elements to block the enemy. After hearing this, Yang Meng also fell into silence, he didn't want to see Ye Mingchen so much, the reason is here!
Looking at Ye Mingchen with a confident face, Yang Meng took the words of the Governor's Mansion to heart, and recently killed Ye Mingchen and his family, and opened a building in Guangzhou, specifically for the Ye family's daughters to do business.
"Butang, how is the scenery of Guangzhou?"
Yang Meng fell into silence, and Ye Mingchen took over the right to speak. Now he has also figured it out, this Yang Laosan didn't have the courage to kill him. In that case, it is better to fight with it.
"Hmmm! It's not bad, it's just that there is a Chu Pavilion called Yejialou missing, wait! In a year or two, there will be! ”
"Huh...... Ye has heard a lot of bold words, I hope what Yang Butang said will come true, but this road of bold words is mostly people who have collapsed in the middle way, Yang Butang reminds me of an ancient, champion Hou! ”
There was no practical meaning of the fight, Yang Meng didn't want to participate, and after taking everyone around the city wall, Yang Meng walked out of the west gate of Guangzhou and went straight to Lixiang Garden with Jairus.
"Bastard! Gather the superintendent and capture Yang Laosan! ”
After Yang Meng left the city, Ye Mingchen's anger came out, but the officials of the two Guang people behind him had already lost their vitality even if they were hungry, and they could only return to the governor's mansion to talk about the matter of gathering the governor's mansion.
As soon as Ye Mingchen entered the Governor's Palace, he met the soft-boned Pan Shicheng, who was sitting in the council hall with a bitter face!
"Pan Shicheng, point up the superintendent and capture Yang Laosan!"
"Zhongtang, it's too late, just when Zhongtang and your colleagues are patrolling the city, Yang Laosan's subordinate Yu Biao has already taken over the coastal defense battalion, but I'm afraid that the mansion of the lower officials has already been occupied by the soldiers of the coastal defense battalion!"
Ju Du Biao, this Ye Mingchen is a good idea, but it's a pity that playing this is much smarter than his beloved son-in-law, the coastal defense battalion is in hand, and the matter of Guangzhou, the beloved son-in-law is much better than Ye Mingchen, and now, just waiting for the two to finish the lawsuit and delineate their powers.
"Ah......h
After a painful cry, Ye Mingchen fainted directly, and he couldn't get out of his anger, so he could only bear it by himself.
Seeing that Ye Zhongtang had fainted, after the officials of the two Guangxi provinces arranged for someone to send Ye Mingchen into the backyard, they also dispersed, and now the situation in Guangzhou is delicate, no one knows what will happen next, this Ye Mingchen and Yang Laosan are both people who cannot be contacted in the near future!
After returning to Lixiangyuan, Pan Shicheng didn't give Yang Meng a good face, today, his beloved son-in-law, did things too radically, but I was afraid that the court would not be able to say it.
"Old Taishan, that's all there is to the court, Ye Mingchen and I have their own uses, I fight with Ye Mingchen, I'm afraid the court can't ask for it, right?
This matter is just a reprimand from the sky, and today's court can't afford to offend me Yang San. ”
What is the state of affairs, Yang Meng has already made an estimate here, beating Ye Mingchen and taking the right path Yang Meng is not his opponent, even if he is evenly matched, if he wants to divide a winner or loser, it is not a matter that can be solved in three or two months, once Yang Meng does things, he will be constrained by Ye Mingchen everywhere, and he will have to lose this Guangzhou.
"But if you act like this, I'm afraid you've offended the vast majority of officials in Liangguang! If you want to live in Canton, why bother to offend them? ”
Looking at his beloved son-in-law with a confident face, Pan Shicheng was afraid that he would be stubborn, and some words of persuasion were naturally said when they came to his mouth.
"Old Taishan, what is our purpose? If you are a loyal minister of the imperial court, you can't do today's things, if you have other ideas, Yangyi fights Tianjin Wei, but it is our best opportunity! ”
"Oh...... Enter the king of Beijing? ”
"Old Tarzan is right! As long as we hold Guangzhou, we will have the opportunity to enter the king of Beijing, and when the time comes, we will ......."
"It's that I've been thinking too much, I've been sitting in the position of governor all these years, and I'm a little safer!"
In the light, my son-in-law's eyes were red and shining, counting the time, it was almost time to do it, I had done nothing all these years, but I dragged my son-in-law back.
"That's not what I said, if it weren't for Lao Taishan, would the shipyard be able to develop safely? Can the scale of the Sailor Academy continue to expand? Hidden forts everywhere can keep the imperial court in the dark?
Without the safe and stable sitting of Lao Taishan, there would be no foundation for us in Guangzhou today!
At this time, it's time for us to show our faces! ”
The matter of Guangzhou, Ye Mingchen can't count on it, whether it is to start a fight or deal with razing affairs, many things, Yang Meng has to be carried out under Ye Mingchen's constraints.
After today, the two have become mortal enemies, he has arrived in Guangzhou, and the matter here is not important, and arguing with Ye Mingchen in front of the emperor is the most important thing.
There are many things, if I don't have an explanation, I won't feel at ease if I want to come to the court.
After living in Lixiangyuan, Yang Meng and Xu Ziwei also began to plan a polemic, within half a month, many things will be known, once his authority in Guangzhou is decided, it is time to face Britain, the United States and France, external affairs, is the real scratching head!
