After returning to Lixiangyuan from Dawan Island, Yang Meng made military arrangements as soon as possible, and the newly built Guangzhou Naval Division replaced the Yong Battalion in Guangzhou and practiced near the Thirteen Lines, while the more than 20,000 Guangzhou Lianyong led by Wu Yuanyou were directly transferred to the school field of the original coastal defense battalion to quickly familiarize themselves with firearms and live ammunition.

The batteries to which the naval division belonged were all abandoned if they were too small, and the remaining batteries that could block the entrance to the sea were all equipped with new artillery, and fortifications were dug around the batteries, and 10,000 new troops from Guangzhou were stationed in these batteries.

Ding Taichen of Guangzhou and Cen Yuying of Shanghai Province joined forces with 15 merchant alliances, taking advantage of the absence of a blockade at sea, to hire merchant ships from European and American countries to accommodate a large number of refugees from Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

The river project of the two lakes relocated 300,000 strong men who had undergone simple military training to Guangzhou, and refugees from Jiangxi directly entered Guangzhou by land.

After arranging the personnel and military that night, Yang Meng entered the city wall of Guangzhou the next day and paid a visit to Ye Mingchen, the governor of Liangguang, Ye Zhongtang.

Yang Meng's arrival made the situation in Guangzhou extremely tense, more than 1,000 governors, deployed along the way, Ye Mingchen could not help but be nervous, when Yang Laosan entered the city, he also brought troops, 500 soldiers of the coastal defense battalion, how could the situation have been so tense in the two official places? Yang Laosan, scourge!

In the courtyard of the council hall, two teams of people are facing each other, and in the council hall, Ye Mingchen's side is standing next to more than ten generals of the green battalion, and Yang Meng is the same behind him, and more than a dozen Jianwei are standing behind him.

In the face of such a situation, the officials of Guangxi and Guangzhou, who were present here, could only bow their heads and lower their eyes. The Buddha fights and the imp suffers. At this time. Neither of them can be offended!

"Ye Zhongtang, Lao Tzu came over today and has something to say!"

"If you want to talk about it, the government office has other official duties!"

"Relocate the people outside the West Gate of Guangzhou, Ye Zhongtang grants land! I've chosen the boundary, and it's in the area north of the northwest. ”

"Since you Yang Butang have chosen, you will handle it yourself, and the affairs outside Guangzhou City have nothing to do with Ye!"

"Good! This is an official document. You stamp Lao Tzu!

In addition, in the near future, Lao Tzu wants to rebuild the Guangzhou wharf and reorganize the layout of the thirteen lines, these Ye Zhongtang have no opinion, right? ”

"Things outside the city, Ye can't take care of them!"

"It's good! The relocation of the people of Ximen, the reconstruction of the wharf, the relayout of the thirteen lines, and the construction of the Dawan Shipyard all require a huge amount of labor!

I have ordered Lianghu, Jiangxi, Jiangsu and Zhejiang to relocate refugees near Guangzhou, does this Ye Zhongtang have any opinions? ”

"No! There are already a lot of people in Liangguang, and if you move in a lot of refugees and their livelihoods, the governor's palace can't control them.

Besides. There are also refugees in Guangzhou! Since Yang Butang is kind and charitable, why doesn't he give generously to the refugees in Liangguang? ”

A conversation between Ye Yang. is extremely blunt, Yang Meng is a Laozi, and Ye Mingchen is also very indifferent to things outside Guangzhou, but when it comes to the refugee section, Ye Mingchen stumbles on Yang Meng.

"You can't say it, it's not good! As long as they are outside the city of Guangzhou, Lao Tzu has the final say! ”

"Yang Laosan, Ye Mou advises you not to be so arrogant, the affairs of the court are not something that can be done by one person, since you want refugee labor, Liangguang has it, why do you want to turn to Lianghu, Jiangxi, Jiangsu and Zhejiang?

These people are not allowed to move into the territory of Liangguang, this is Ye's attitude! ”

Population means power, population also means trouble, Yang Laosan is not under the jurisdiction of the Liangguang Bureau, and his jurisdiction is the five major commercial ports, once the matter of Guangzhou, this little Wang Ba did a bad job, lost the mess and got out, these troubles are not his Ye Mingchen?

"Old man, did Lao Tzu give you face? Don't fucking think that with a few pieces of waste standing behind you, you can sing against Lao Tzu, you just have to stamp these things, and if you want to be the stubborn donkey who doesn't obey the call, isn't it looking for a pump? ”

Ye Mingchen came out to block the matter of summoning refugees, Yang Meng really has no way here, refugees from Jiangsu and Zhejiang can take the sea route, but refugees from Lianghu and Jiangxi want to come to Guangzhou, without the instructions of the Liangguang Official Bureau, it is illegal!

"Ye said no, it's not good! Fight or kill, whatever you want! ”

"Good! You old bastard really have all the bones on the outside, don't you fight or grind, right? Then start fighting, Lao Tzu burned your governor's palace.

Beat! ”

Yang Meng gave an order in the hall, and dozens of people from the coastal defense battalion outside the hall immediately moved, and after a chaotic sound of 'huhulala', Ye Mingchen's superintendent lay on the ground.

This is not a big deal, it's just a military fight, although the local election is not very good, but what about this matter, it is still a military camp fight, involving rebellion, and those people in the military aircraft have to dare?

"You ......"

Yang Laosan said that he would do it, which was reasonable, but Yang Laosan fought in the Governor's Mansion, but it was unexpected by Ye Mingchen, and the superintendent was vulnerable, which was also beyond Ye Mingchen's expectations, and looked at the soldiers of the coastal defense battalion gathered at the door, Ye Mingchen's heroic anger was short.

"Say it! Is this official seal covered by your old puppet? If you don't cover it, Lao Tzu will send someone to strip you naked and hang it outside Guangzhou, and Lao Tzu will see if you lose this person! Lao Tzu, see what you will do in the future with this Liangguang Governor! ”

Serious negotiations, Ye Mingchen will only be embarrassed for himself, but this Ye Mingchen can't fight or kill, and Yang Meng can only play a scoundrel.

"The middle hall, the ministry, peace is precious, harmony is precious, this thing is a step for the ministry to give way, the middle hall to let a step away, why bother to fight?

Since Yang Butang wants to convene refugees, there are also a lot of them in Liangguang, Zhongtang, Ministry, Pan Mou said peace, Zhongtang agreed to the request of the Ministry, and the Ministry, and the Ministry, too, will accept the refugees from Liangguang, after all, the people are bandits, and the Ministry's acceptance of refugees from Liangguang is also easy to do here! ”

Yang Meng's meaning, Pan Shicheng understands it very well, Ye Mingchen wants to stumble, everyone in the hall is clear, what is the situation in the governor's mansion, it is even clearer, Ye Mingchen and Ye Zhongtang do not follow the meaning of Yang Laosan and Yang Butang, Ye Zhongtang will be humiliated again this time.

What kind of object is Yang Laosan, everyone knows very well that Yang Laosan is now synonymous with lawlessness, with the support of the emperor. What did he dare not do?

"Old Piff. What do you say? ”

"Just do it according to Pan Futai's wishes. After receiving the refugees from Liangguang, this matter is over! If you don't pick it up, everything will be stopped! ”

"That's it! Old horseman, although the two of us don't deal with each other, but after all, they are ministers in the same hall, and there are some things that Lao Tzu still has to warn you here.

In the past three to five months, whether it is a provocation at sea or a pirate, do not take action casually. Two days ago, I met with the British minister and the governor of Hong Kong, and their attitude was a bit **! I'm afraid that these bastards will not die, and they want to provoke a war recently, involving coastal defense, and in the past three or five months, there is only one way to deal with it, no matter what they don't ask.

As long as the English soldiers and horses do not go to war, our side cannot start a dispute without permission, otherwise there will be a war in Guangzhou in the near future.

The English army and warships on Hong Kong Island were only two or three thousand people. More than a dozen warships, once the British increased their troops on Hong Kong Island. The war is not far away, you old horseman is in charge of Liangguang, and there are some things you have to prepare for in advance.

Yingyi is no better than the long-haired thief, the Yingyi army of one or two thousand people is afraid that it is more powerful than the long-haired thief's one or two thousand people, be careful! ”

Yang Meng is not worried about the safety of Guangzhou, what he is worried about is the rest of Guangzhou, what the scale of the future war will be, Yang Meng has no way of predicting, it is easy to deal with a small fight, he is afraid that Britain will use the Indian army.

"Yang Butang doesn't bother with this matter, what should I do, Ye has his own measure, but Yang Butang has to take some pictures when he does things."

The words were said in vain, but Yang Meng didn't expect Ye Mingchen to play a big role at first, after the official document was printed, Yang Meng took the people out of the city, and now there are many things outside the city, and he doesn't have time to delay with Ye Mingchen.

It is a big deal to relocate the people, the new area north of the West Gate has been started, these houses are much better than the original, most people agree, but there are some who do not want to relocate, the homeland is difficult to leave, the duty of people is only.

"Taichen, let his subordinates move the thirteen lines to the north of the West Gate first, and the people try to persuade them, but it is really not a forced relocation!

In the past few days, we will raise manpower, start from the dock first, go hand in hand, converge in the middle, give you a month and a half to do this, and after a month and a half, Lao Tzu will arrange a gun emplacement on the new dock! ”

There is no shortage of brick factories, kiln factories, and quarries near Guangzhou, and many things must be grasped at once.

"Third master, these affairs are fine, it's just the ...... from the British Embassy."

"Let the Haiphong battalion send 1,000 people to surround the British embassy, the circle is larger, we will not conflict with the English, but the grain, vegetables and vegetables in Guangzhou are not allowed to be sold to the English! Force them to withdraw! Even if the English take action, we will not be able to fight back, and within two months, we must not allow the English to find an excuse to go to war. ”

These two months are very important to Yang Meng, Guangzhou has to deal with the British fleet, and the place where the dock is located is the top priority, once this place cannot be defended, the British fleet can easily bombard the city wall of Guangzhou.

If the British fleet can't be intercepted on the Pearl River, then Yang Meng will face an extremely passive situation.

"Got it!"

The relocation of the people of Ximen and the reconstruction of the wharf in Guangzhou still continued Yang Meng's previous style and tactics of crowding, and the people near Guangzhou and the strong men of the river project from the two lakes gathered hundreds of thousands of people outside the west gate of Guangzhou within ten days.

The number of people has reached a certain level, and many large projects have become short-term sieges, and within 20 days, the rammed earth base of the Guangzhou wharf was completed, and the stage of piling up masonry began.

The houses outside the West Gate were all demolished within a month, and the Thirteen Lines were also transferred to the north of the West Gate to do business.

At the same time, the construction of the shipyards of the five countries is also in full swing, and the ships on the Pearl River are in full swing day and night, and there is a hot scene everywhere along the river.

In just one month, Yang Meng's price is also huge, most of the costs of relocating people and rebuilding the wharf are paid by Yang Meng out of his own pocket, although there are some customs taxes, but in the face of such a large project, the income of the customs is barely enough to maintain the clothing, food, housing and transportation of nearly one million people outside Guangzhou.

The shipyard of the five countries transformed nearly 1,000 large and small ships and more than 1,000 small steam engines within a month, at least half of which were given away for free, and the excavation and widening of the canal from the Pearl River to Baiyun was also Yang Meng's responsibility.

In a month's time, Yang Meng changed the Pearl River Estuary, and the steam ships that came and went diffused the strong smell of soot around Guangzhou, such a scene is rare even in the big port of England.

With the advancement of the project, the British merchants found that some of the forts near Guangzhou were also different from before, some of the forts were abandoned, and some of the forts were heavily guarded.

Bao Ling and Pa Xia Li have been in the same month as ants on a hot pot, this Yang Butang's actions are too fast, and it is difficult for the British Empire to make a reasonable response and start a war, these two want to! But without the government's order, the two did not have that much authority to start a war with the Qing State privately.

The only thing these two people can do is to replace Yang Meng from time to time and inspect the progress of the project.

As the progress of Yang Meng's side accelerated, Pashali found that the embassy to which they belonged was isolated, and the embassies of the United States and France were not much different. (To be continued......)
