Chapter 108: Chaos
Witnessing the process of quelling the chaos of the Qing soldiers, Yang Meng also had a lot of thoughts in his heart, Huang Baba died and he had no burden, but Zhang Fu and Ma Xiaoqing compromised and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, and it is likely that they will not die well.
The chaos resumes, Zhang Fu and Ma Xiaoqing are dry bones in the grave, He Changling can't end well, and the resentful Shen Jucheng should make a fuss at that time, Yongchang's tens of thousands of whistle training, plus seven incense sticks, no one can see what the situation will become.
Zhang Bilu is a trouble, the more than 10,000 green battalions he trained have already had the strength to fight, and the new governor who will replace him with Changling in the future is also unpredictable, and now the anti-Qing Yunnan will inevitably fall into the pocket of the Yang family, what can it be?
Yunnan's topography is good, and there is no problem at all in occupying Yunnan for self-protection, but if the imperial court cuts off the Pearl River and the Yangtze River waterway, if Yunnan wants to develop, it will have to take the Annan line.
In the past, Yang Meng heard Jiang Shu say that England and the Qing Dynasty worked together to suppress the Blue Flag Army, and once there was a conflict with the Great Powers, it was not difficult to imagine what the Qing Dynasty would do.
The civil war, the Tibetan border, Sichuan, Guizhou, and Guangxi, were all battlefields. Yu Hui, Annam, Burma, Thailand and India are all loopholes, the Mekong River and the Red River are the channels for transporting troops, and countless dead people have been conquered year after year, no matter how generous the conditions given by the Yang family are, the people of Yunnan will also be separated from Germany, and the fall of the Yang family is only a matter of time.
It took a few years to sweep the Qing Dynasty with the help of Yunnan's soldiers, Yang Meng had this confidence, but it was easy to sweep the Qing Dynasty. It was extremely difficult to plot to seize the Qing Dynasty, after the Yunnan uprising. Inevitably, there will be no other place to follow suit, and then there will only be a civil war. As soon as the civil war began, no one could control the situation at that time, and it would only be cheaper for the great powers to look at each other.
Yunnan must be defended, the mountain people in western Yunnan are available, Wei Huozi's 8,000 army has already had a foundation, the mountain people in western Yunnan are young and strong, split out half and form an army, once the western Yunnan is in chaos, they will be in the name of the militia group. Hold it down strongly.
If western Yunnan is still tepid, then continue to watch the drama and develop slowly. And the pace of controlling Yunnan is going to be accelerated, while He Changling is not leaving, with the grace of subduing the mountain people to rebel this time, it is not bad to scrape some oil and water from Lao He.
The situation in western Yunnan has exceeded the Yang family's strength in Yunnan Mansion, and it is also a trouble if the tail is not big, relying on a few stewards of the Yang family alone. If you want to suppress these young people of all ethnic groups who are coming down the mountain, they are obviously a little powerless.
How to control the growing situation of the Yang family is also a problem, and there are many things to do. It seems that the opening of Wei Wuying should be put in the first place, otherwise he will be alone. Splitting into eight petals can't handle the messy affairs of the entire Yunnan.
Opening private curtains, scraping old congratulators, building a new army, and suppressing civil disorder -- these four items need to be solved urgently. Distribute land in western Yunnan and Yunnan provinces. Continue to lead the mountaineers down the mountain; Keep the Pearl River trade route and open the Yangtze River trade road again; Reopening of Yunnan copper mines. exploiting the capacity of salt mines; Break through the barriers of Sichuan, open up the Gansu-Shaanxi trade route, and set up local business names; Introduce Western science and technology to cultivate their own potential; These five are all things to be done this year.
Thinking of these, Yang Meng couldn't sit still, he didn't want to be frightened when he thought about it, and he checked the harvest of Yunnan Tongguan, and expanded his steps several times at once, there are too many things, and the civil unrest in western Yunnan has become a trivial matter, and now it has become the most important problem to stabilize the pace of the Yang family and develop steadily and steadily.
The mountain people in western Yunnan have just tasted the sweetness, will they rebel for a while and a half, and there are a few stewards who are busy working here and are barely enough, so they will return to Yiliang and let Wei Wu come up with an idea, and then go back to fiddle with them.
After arranging the affairs of western Yunnan, Yang Meng hurriedly returned to Yiliang, the old man is not in charge of things now, he first asked Wei Wu to come up with a charter, and then it was not too late to find the old man.
When he arrived at Minghu Academy, Yang Meng found a quiet room, and regardless of whether Wei Wu had anything to do, he directly sent someone to invite him over.
"Old Wei, I recently made a windfall, I brought more than 100,000 mountain people down to farm in western Yunnan, there are 50,000 or 60,000 young people alone, and the mountain people are rebellious to prevent them from rebelling, you have to get me a charter!"
Seeing Wei Wu, Yang Meng didn't mention anything else, but took out the matter of controlling the mountain people, and many things were derived from this.
"More than 100,000 people? The third master's steps, is it a little too big? It is not a good thing to support the people with interests alone, western Yunnan is not as good as Yunnan Mansion, the reputation of the third master in Yunnan Mansion is incomparable, and a name can suppress the entire Yunnan Mansion, but in western Yunnan, it is a little impatient to act like this.
Raise the people! The combination of grace and power is the right way, the mountain people are a little unruly, and they often rebel, and the third master wants to subdue the mountain people in western Yunnan, so he can only come up with the means of killing people without turning the beads. ”
Wei Wu didn't know about Tongguan and Yunxi, his idea was good, and it was not much different from what Yang Meng thought, this Wei Wu was not old and confused, and his thinking was still very quick.
"Hmmm! I also have an idea of this, isn't there 8,000 troops in Wei Huozi? Split out three thousand and let Wei Huozi take him to western Yunnan to train troops. The method of military training, just use my method in the epidemic prevention camp, and kill if you don't go well! If you want to come for three or five months, you will be able to stand up and subdue those mountain people.
When the new army is trained, let Wei Huozi select more than 10,000 elites to pull back to Yiliang, and then the 5,000 men and horses on Yiliang's side will be scattered to western Yunnan to form several regimental exercises, and they will come and go to western Yunnan in hand.
But this new army is easy to manage, how should those ordinary mountain people be managed? ”
Military management is a good method, but it is not appropriate to do this for a long time, Yang Meng thought a lot on the way back, but it was not feasible.
"Here in the academy, dozens of available people have been selected, and the third master might as well let them donate, find an official and a half-job, and help manage the affairs of western Yunnan. In this time the rebellion in western Yunnan was quelled, and the military salary was bound to be spent, and it was a good time to pay donations. ”
Wei Wu didn't say anything in his heart, whether he should take that step or not, and he was also a little apprehensive in his heart.
"Dozens, there are no dozens of county orders in western Yunnan, it's easy to donate, but it's difficult to find a real shortage!"
After the last time, he will scrape He Changling again, which Yang Meng has set before, but there are dozens of people, which is a bit much.
"It doesn't have to be a prefectural order. It can't be all county orders, can the third master still remember the history of Yiliangdian? An officer who does not enter the stream. As long as you have the power of power, you can also control the authority of a county. With the strength of the Yang family in western Yunnan, don't say a classic history, that is, the position of the master of money and grain, and the punishment of the famous master, it is also easy to control the county order.
The third master's question opened Wei Wu's vein, these dozens of available people, let them take the position of the master, and the academy also selected nearly a hundred people who were solid and unchangeable, and these people knew that they were foolish and loyal. The third master gave them donations, and they could simply accept their hearts, supplemented by the stewardship of the Yang family, and it would not be a problem to control a place.
In this way, our manpower will not be so short, and the dozens of available people will be allowed to give them fame and fortune and control their families. No one will repeat it.
One hundred and dozens of people can be all over the county offices in Yunnan. As for the other state capitals, we'll take care of them later. I have also selected the staff of the third master, and the academy has chosen it here. They are all faithful and learned people. The tricky master who is difficult to use in Shaoxing, I have also invited more than a dozen, and I will be there soon.
Use the talents selected by the academy to balance the treacherous master Shaoxing. As long as the third master promises a lot of profits, there is nothing that these people dare not do. But can gold and silver give them this power? It's better to be in the hands of your own family. ”
Take control of the Yunnan government. This can be done, and Wei Wu has done it very well. Set up a curtain for Yang Meng, he did a better job, the good master of Shaoxing, it is really difficult to invite, but the good ones can't come, and there are always bad ones.
Most of the people who can become deceitful masters are talents, and when the proprietor is weak, these people will show their teeth and claws, and their reputation will be ruined, and no one will dare to use it. But once these people meet a strong master, they are often extremely powerful talents.
Wei Wu was afraid that the people selected by the academy would not be able to use magic tricks, so he specially invited more than a dozen Shaoxing masters with the most bad reputation and promised them huge profits.
Deceit? It depends on who you use, it is difficult for these people to leave when they come to Yunnan, more than a dozen masters are entangled with each other, plus the staff selected by the academy, they can basically check and balance each other, and the most important thing is Yang Meng, the main master, who is decisive in killing! This is something that can't be learned, more than a dozen masters, when they meet Yang Laosan, a ruthless master, there is no other way to go except to contribute.
"That's good! Just as you say. This matter of controlling the mountain people in western Yunnan, old Wei ......"
Wei Wugu talked about him left and right, and said a lot of things, but he didn't mention it, and Yang Meng didn't want to play any twists and turns with this old traitor. Constant temptation to subdue, it's not easy to call a capable person under your hand!
"Alas...... This ......"
The left and right branches still didn't block it, this Yang Laosan is getting more and more powerful, and his means are a little shallow. Could it be that this Yang Laosan really made the master enlightened?
Wei Wu was a little helpless, there was still medicine to cure the control of the government, and there was no medicine to cure if he controlled the people, once he found out the method, the Qing Dynasty would die at the hands of the Yang family.
"How boring is this! It seems that that night, you were in vain! You don't say it, do you? It's not that I can't help it, so I'll tell you my method, you can listen to it!
Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan-Tibet, Liangguang, and Qinghai, who has the most people? I'm afraid it's not Han, right? My Yang family spent money to instigate the power of the Qing court to suppress the people of all ethnic groups in the eight provinces, so that they had no way to live, and the officials forced the people to rebel! Lao Tzu took the Yang family, and took advantage of the situation to be the good man who saved the suffering, you say that all ethnic groups will not return to their hearts?
The troops of the eight provinces were divided into three routes, and the soldiers of Qingjiang swept Gan, Shaanxi, and Mongolia, and approached the Beijing Division; The soldiers of Sichuan and Tibet went down the river, swept the lake and the south of the river, and the soldiers pointed directly at the land of Gyeonggi; Yunnan and Guizhou received the southeast coastal land, all the way east to the north; Which of the three armies probably also has the ability to destroy the Qing Dynasty, right?
I don't need foreign guns and foreign artillery, I can sit on the supreme position of Nalaoshzi within ten years with military strength alone, and I recently made a windfall, tens of millions of taels of gold and silver, plus countless foreign guns and foreign cannons, do you say that this time has taken ten years? Tell me again, can I use this method? ”
This method is the most inferior method in Yang Meng's heart, once it is used, I don't know how many people will die? But this Wei Wu is secretive and plays that mana trick, which is really hateful, and if he doesn't give him some foundation, this old traitor really can't help.
"The third master can't! When entering the customs in the early Qing Dynasty, how many Han people were killed? You enable the barbarians to destroy the Qing, but you are afraid of the recurrence of the military disaster! ”
Yang Meng's words scared Wei Wuyi into a cold sweat, the five major ethnic groups of Manchu, Mongolian, Tibetan and Hui Han, the land of the eight provinces Tibetan Hui Zhuangyi Miao Yao, the rebellious clan accounted for the majority, ten years? Tens of millions of gold and silver, plus foreign guns and cannons, three or five years are enough!
"If you know it, tell me what you think! The third master likes to go straight, your twists and turns are wonderful, the two of us are an old traitor, we are not a rammer given for nothing, the head of the third master, it has to be as heavy as you two, don't you play these with me scolding?
Peaceful evolution! This is a new word, you slowly realize it after you go back, and you don't have to spend so much effort between us when you understand it, you are not young at this age, and you will die quickly if you are always scheming! ”
Wei Wu, this old thing, belongs to the kind of donkey who leads and does not go backwards, and he lowered the old man once and himself twice, this old traitor thinks this is a trick? The back and forth is endless, there are enough things in Yunnan, and it is too much trouble to guard against such an old traitor. (To be continued......)
