Chapter 162: The Shadow of Yunnan
"Xie Sanye is compassionate."
Wei Wuxing retreated after saluting, looking at his somewhat stumbling steps, the string in Yang Meng's heart was still tight, Wei Wu's scheming was too deep, I was afraid that he was retreating as advance!
Wei Wu's methods of dealing with himself are just as vicious to Yang Meng, once the imperial court detains the old man, the eldest brother, and the second brother, his advantage will be gone, and his weakness must also be covered with several layers of armor.
Through some things today, Yang Meng also felt that his control over Yunnan was a little weak, and the shadow troops led by Qin Ziqi and Sun Boqing were still too weak in Yunnan.
As soon as the Xishan Mining and Metallurgical Academy was built, the confidentiality work was the first thing that the two of them had to put in the first place, the wrought iron formula of the Xishan Iron Factory, this thing should have been strictly confidential, but in Ge Shiyang's place, Yang Meng did not notice the slightest caution.
This method of batching wrought iron may be accessible to most of the craftsmen involved! The contents of his stomach, after the completion of Xishan Academy, should also pour out some of it, and confidentiality work must be done.
There were too many things and too little time, and Yang Meng felt that he was being pushed away by the affairs of Yunnan.
"Damn Lin Laohu, I just wanted to take a break, and you came to stir up trouble again, if you want to deal with grandpa, I will not give up with you."
Roaring at the empty West Valley, Yang Meng stepped on the steps up the mountain.
"My lord, please eat!"
Although it is a factory on this side of Xishan, there are also a few servants who serve Ge Shiyang and others, and when they return to their temporary residence, the wooden building, Tiffany is guarding the table full of charcoal stoves!
"It's all gone!"
Waving off the servants and guards, Yang Meng sat down. Looking at Tiffany in front of him. He didn't know what to say.
"Your Excellency, please dine!"
Tiffany's urging rang in his ears. Yang Meng began to eat tastelessly, the food on the charcoal stove.
"Tiffany, what should we do between us?"
"Huh! I am still Lady Tiffany, Patrick and Daniel Jr. are your most loyal warriors, and you are our lords. Of course, you have some special powers, just like the European lords of the Middle Ages, and I certainly can't resist them.
After many years, we will return to our old life trajectories. Before that, you are going to build me a villa in Yunnan, which is our home, and when the time comes, maybe we will leave an empty house, or maybe we will leave a family that has nothing to do with either of us. ”
Tiffany's words are clear, this is a very good choice, after all, his own path, and if he goes on, a bloodline like Tiffany is not accepted by orthodoxy. Maybe there will be another way in the future.
"Alright! Let's borrow it here temporarily! Later, I'll arrange for some servants to come over. ”
"No need. Pauline and Wendy would be with us, and Golis was Belgian after all, and there were things that needed to be bonded. ”
Ge Shiyang and Tiffany and Patrick father and son, restrained each other, but I didn't expect that the most beneficial thing was himself, marriage seems to be a good method, Pan Shicheng in Guangzhou, Patrick and his son at sea, as well as Wei Wu and Ge Shiyang, their own means of obtaining their loyalty, all are marriages.
The benefits of marriage are not small, but the harm is also not small, Tiffany and Ge Shiyang are not a threat, they are not the real Qing people after all.
And Wei Wu, Pan Shicheng, and Pan Gui, although these people are stable now, it is difficult to ensure that in a few years, more than ten years, and decades, they or their descendants will be as stable as they are now.
What kind of road he wants to take, Yang Meng doesn't know, but overly concentrated power is a great temptation for anyone, he is a relative now, and he may become a mortal enemy in the future, and some things are better to be nip in the bud.
In this way, the role of Qin Ziqi and Sun Boqing is irreplaceable. Qin Ziqi has Yang Meng is seventy percent sure, and Sun Boqing is ninety percent sure.
Qin Ziqi has strong ability, but his personality is a shortcoming, he basically does not have the conditions to oppose water, and even if Sun Boqing has ideas, but his ability is his biggest shortcoming, Sun Boqing is not qualified to oppose water, now it seems that these two people are still very suitable to be the leaders of the shadow army, as for the future, let's talk about it later!
How to rectify the shadow troops has become a big problem for Yang Meng, himself, Qin Ziqi, and Sun Boqing are the three giants of the shadow troops, but what about the manpower below?
The affairs of western Yunnan, but Yang Meng personally dealt with them in the past, one by one, general judgments, experiences, county orders, masters, and canonical histories, these petty officials who are no more than six grades at the highest level, are integrated together, but they have hollowed out the entire western Yunnan.
Although there are many officials above the fourth grade in western Yunnan, their control over western Yunnan is now extremely weak, and they all have to become decorations under Yang Meng's order.
The shadow force he built at the beginning is a huge spy agency, and it has its own force, such a monster, if it gets out of control, the impact on itself will be catastrophic.
"My lord, it's getting late, it's time to rest."
Tiffany's call made Yang Meng's thoughts more and more confused, remembering the clarity when he had just come down the mountain, Yang Meng had evil thoughts again.
I don't know how long it took, but the charcoal stoves on the table fell to the ground, and piles of dark red charcoal fires flickered on the fireproof floor.
"It's a good choice, it's really clear-headed."
Looking at the flickering charcoal fire, Yang Meng had a new idea, sent the lazy Tiffany into the cubicle, and Yang Meng began to transform the shadow troops.
After a sleepless night, after the sound of gunfire at the bottom of the mountain, Yang Meng took a new shadow troop structure and walked down the mountain with brisk steps.
"My lord, I already have a preliminary idea for the transformation of the Xishan Iron Works......
Ge Shiyang had a pair of red eyes, and when he waited at the bottom of the mountain, he began to offer treasures as soon as Yang Meng came.
"Needless to say, you are responsible for the affairs of Xishan Academy, I don't listen to your process and methods, I only look at the results, and I will report them when the results are available.
I have already given you the specific structure, and in the next few days, you have to report the detailed structure of Xishan to me. Your previous way of doing things was too inefficient. Let's think about the structure of Nishiyama first!
And also. Didn't the Yunyan factory move to Yiliang? In the next few days, you can get some machinery for crushing and mixing, and send it together with the structure of Xishan! ”
The matter of Xishan was handed over to Ge Shiyang, and the poison field over there in Yiliang now consumes a lot of manpower, crushing talc, crushing tea, and stirring the most rear, which is the most labor-intensive place, if there is a suitable machinery. At least thousands of manpower can be saved.
After Ge Shiyang, who was busy offering treasures, was interrupted by Yang Meng, he also remembered the instructions of the lord yesterday, and his busy work last night seemed to be a little out of business, but after doing it on the front line for too long, this Master Ge still couldn't turn around.
"Remember that what you have to do is to take charge of the West Mountain, don't be delayed by these trivial things, these specific work, you will try to arrange it in the next few days.
Also, the third level of the turret is arranged for Tiffany. You have to coordinate the manpower, and the turret is divided into a forbidden area on the West Mountain. ”
After instructing Ge Shiyang. Yang Meng took people out of Xishan, his second brother was still in Kunming, and he didn't know what his goals would be in addition to the famine in Yunnan.
"Brother Gui, let Qin Ziqi and Sun Boqing come to Wuzhuang to see me. If Xu Ziwei has free time, let him come to Wuzhuang as well. ”
The upcoming Lin Zexu has become Yang Meng's motivation, and it is also a difficult task for Yang Meng to hide the entire Yunnan before he arrives in Yunnan.
When he arrived at Wuzhuang, Yang Meng took the opportunity to sleep for a while, and when he woke up, it was already noon.
"Have Qin Ziqi and Sun Boqing arrived?"
"It's already here, Mr. Xu will come over later."
"How long have you been here?"
"An hour and a half."
"Why didn't they come to me?"
“……”
"Remember, wake me up when I say so, and don't do things on your own."
After reprimanding his swordsmen, Yang Meng came to the lobby at this time, Qin Ziqi and Sun Boqing were already waiting for him.
"Ziqi, you arranged it!"
"I heard from my subordinates that the third master didn't sleep well last night, so he delayed it for a while."
"Humph! Look at me, you don't know anything about such a huge project as the Xishan Turret, the shadow army was built, is it to spy on Lao Tzu? ”
The swordsmen under their own hands don't have so much courage, and they won't discount what they order, and Sun Boqing, who is very arrogant, won't care about these little things, and Qin Ziqi dares to do this, although this thing is not bad, but Yang Meng still has to beat him, and it is not a good thing to make decisions without authorization.
"The matter of Xishan, Qin Ziqi is not here, I am in western Yunnan, so I am negligent."
Compared with Qin Ziqi's cautiousness, Sun Boqing is much more public, when this thing is done, Yang Meng and Qin Ziqi have their own things, and Sun Boqing is also training his subordinates in western Yunnan, this matter was leaked, and he felt that it was nothing.
"You are secret spies, in Yunnan, you should be an existence that knows nothing, knows nothing, and is negligent? In case someone wants to kill Lao Tzu, do you want to neglect it once? ”
The third master was angry, Qin Ziqi immediately knelt under the hall, so far he didn't know about the Xishan turret, Sun Boqing also knelt down, the matter of the West Mountain, he knew a little, when the old man was hiding gold and silver in the Xishan cellar, he was the escort he led the team, and he also skipped this matter at that time, but he didn't expect to be beaten by the third child because of this matter.
"Get up! You've not done enough with the Shadow Troop.
After returning today, the shadow force will be expanded. Yunnan's military and political intelligence Ziqi is in charge, and personnel intelligence Boqing is in charge. There was something wrong in the military and politics of Yunnan, Boqing's people were killed, and Ziqi was eliminated in personnel. Bo Qing is responsible for the monitoring of the internal personnel of the shadow army, and there is something unscrupulous inside, and Ziqi is responsible for cleaning it up.
The internal intelligence personnel of the shadow force are controlled within 10,000 people, and the number of peripheral personnel is not counted. Intelligence officers are all one-way contacts, and you are responsible for the overall control.
The number of shadow troops who are really responsible for the operation is controlled at about 2,000 people, and the 1,500 people who are aimed at Yunnan's military, government, and personnel are considered shadow troops in the open.
The other five hundred people are in charge of internal operations, divided into five squads, two of you and one of you. These people are the shadows of the shadows, they need to be lean, they have to be loyal, do you understand what I'm talking about? ”
The two of them didn't react much to Yang Meng's separation of the powers of the shadow troops, anyway, the third master could come whatever he said.
"Got it!"
After getting the replies from the two, Yang Meng nodded, and the anger on his face slowly dissipated.
"During this time, I prepared Xishan Academy, you take the opportunity to install people, every achievement of Xishan Academy, you must protect it, our things, don't want it to flow out, not a single bit can flow out.
Remember! These people in Xishan Academy, if there is a traitor, they can't be easily slaughtered, first force a confession, and then ask Master Ge, Master Ge nodded there, and you can do it. ”
An academy should also focus on monitoring, and Sun Boqing didn't understand this.
"Third master, it's just an academy, we spend so much money, the cost is not small, is it worth it?"
"It's worth it! Remember! Technique is an extremely important thing, and you must protect Xishan Academy, which is the cornerstone of Yunnan's rise.
During this time, I will ask Taichen to allocate a batch of silver to you, and this money will be kept as a reserve fund, and it will not be used easily.
My eldest brother's Yunnan business is being prepared, and for some die-hard ones, you can secretly start and steal the income from the family, and you must give Taichen a list.
Remember! The shadow army is the shadow of Yunnan, everything that happens in Yunnan, you must be clear there, Lin Zexu is coming, before he comes, integrate the shadow army. (To be continued......)
