In a month's time, it was time for the shipyards of the five countries to draft the payment, and the merchants of various countries sent a large amount of cash and silver according to the agreement, totaling about 25 million taels and more than 1,000 tons of gold and silver! It took a whole day to pile up a hill and transport the gold and silver to Lixiangyuan, more than 10,000 people and hundreds of carriages.

And the English merchants are also quite generous, a million brand new gold pounds, equivalent to five million pounds of gold nuggets, more than five million taels of silver, and the English people who finally settled the payment got a fortune comparable to that of the merchants of Britain, France and Germany, the origin of these things is unknown, seeing the boxes of brand-new gold pounds, Yang Meng knew that things were in trouble!

Within a month England reacted, and it seems that the war was in the last few months.

"Jingpu, you take 5,000 Lianyong to Humen to garrison, and Lao Tzu allows you to requisition the people near Humen."

Wu Yuanyou's practice Yong, this month's time, he has barely learned how to make a gun, Yang Meng's gun issued to Lian Yong is not bad, Germany's firing gun, as for why Lian Yong is equipped with German firearms, Yang Meng also has an examination school.

The first battle cannot be started by the new army, the new army against the British army, the results of the battle are not yet known, the combat strength of the British army stationed in Hong Kong, Yang Meng also has to use the training of Wu Yuanyou to try it.

Wu Yuanyou's practice of Yong, most of them are natives of Guangzhou, Yang Meng uses Lian Yong, but also wants to use them as cannon fodder, no matter whether Lian Yong wins or loses, he will always die.

The British army wanted to enter Guangzhou, Humen was the threshold, and for the result of Wu Yuanyou's battle, Yang Meng expected that he would be defeated, and some people would be killed or wounded. So. Only then will Guangzhou share the same hatred and hatred.

Of course, Yang Meng would not let Wu Yuanyou deliberately defeat him. How the results of the battle all depend on the ability of Wu Yuanyou's 5,000 people, although there are batteries behind to rely on, but the army relies on batteries to deal with the navy, it is still in a weak position, especially the geography of the Humen Fort, the British army is already familiar with it, this first battle, Wu Yuanyou's training and bravery, in addition to the advantage in numbers. There are no other advantages.

Just when Yang Meng was preparing for the defense of Guangzhou, Ye Mingchen's Guangzhou Naval Division suddenly moved, this action was beyond Yang Meng's expectations, and Ye Mingchen's Guangzhou Naval Division moved a little unclear!

The result of the sailor's action was to intercept a small foreign ship, which belonged to the merchants of the Qing Dynasty, but the name of the Yarrow made Yang scratch his head.

"Ye Mingchen, bastard! Come with me into town!

Ding Taichen, you go and find Nonres. Let him contact a few familiar Western reporters and sue Sù Renres. How much money to let these reporters speak for us! ”

Things are in trouble, Yang Meng originally wanted to let England take the initiative to go to war, but Ye Mingchen's move suddenly turned the advantage of public opinion into shit.

Yang Meng led people into Guangzhou City, and Ye Mingchen's superintendent also reacted, but who Yang Butang was, the superintendent also knew that they didn't have the courage to fight.

"The old king of the dog day! Today, you explain to Lao Tzu about the Bai Yaluo, I don't understand, Lao Tzu will kill your whole family!

This is the origin of the Yarrow, you can see it carefully for Lao Tzu Tsai! ”

In front of the officials of the Governor's Palace, Yang Meng slapped the detailed information of the Yarrow to Ye Mingchen's face, and with a slap, Yang Meng didn't spare any strength, and Ye Mingchen was immediately slapped on his stomach.

"Yang Laosan! This is the Doge's Palace! ”

Ye Mingchen, whose face was covered in blood, reacted surprisingly quickly, after struggling, he had to fight Yang Meng to the death!

"Old bastard, you have shown Lao Tzu clearly, this Yarrow has been registered on Hong Kong Island before, and it is considered an English merchant ship, what you are doing this time is to cause a war!

England has long been eyeing it, but it just doesn't have a mouth, you are idle, what are you doing at sea? Now Bao Ling's gang has our mouth, and the war is imminent! ”

Yang Meng's angry rebuke also made Ye Mingchen a clever one, this matter has nothing to do with Yingyi!

"Yang Laosan, where are you alarmist, this Yaluo is a ship of sea bandits, and the sailors on the Yaluo are all ordinary people of the Qing Dynasty, what does it have to do with Yingyi?"

"I'm cāo, you old bastard! Where did you get this news from? Hit the trick! ”

After listening to Ye Mingchen's explanation, Yang Meng also understood that Ye Mingchen, a stupid calf, fell for Baoling's counter-plot!

"Provided by a Guangzhou merchant!"

"Who is it? Where to stay? Let your people take the coastal defense battalion to raid the house!

Bastard! This is a bureau set up by Baoling, and the outside of Guangzhou is under the jurisdiction of Lao Tzu, even if this Yaluo is suspicious, why doesn't he report to Lao Tzu, and only find you, the governor of Liangguang, who has no authority to govern?

It's not that you, Ye Mingchen, are arrogant? Isn't it that you Ye Mingchen has become a habit to falsely report his military exploits? People have already figured you out.

Once this incident causes a war, you Ye Mingchen will wait to be unlucky! Lao Tzu said before that once you lose power, Lao Tzu will kill all the men in your family and turn all the women in your family into prostitutes.

Don't you believe in immortals? May the gods bless you, this matter can pass safely, right? Otherwise, Lao Tzu will do it! ”

Yang Meng's words made people tremble when they heard it, but Ye Mingchen also understood the meaning inside, this matter seems to be a real situation!

Yang Meng finished beating and scolding, and sat directly in Ye Mingchen's seat, this is a traitor, no wonder Ye Mingchen fell into the scheme.

Half an hour later, a somewhat obscene-looking man was thrown into the lobby by the people of the coastal defense battalion, and outside the lobby were the cries of dozens of people.

"Say it! Who did you listen to about the Yarrow? Is it a foreign businessman? How much silver did he give you? ”

Yang Meng's question also made the obscene man shake a few times, and looked at Ye Zhongtang, whose face was covered with blood, and he immediately confessed.

"Spare your life! It was the foreign businessman who arranged for me to do this, and gave me 500 eagles! ”

"Huh...... This is really good, Ye Mingchen, what do you think? If there is one of you here, it will be counted as one, and the joint name will be an excerpt! Let's figure this out, don't come when the time comes, the blame for starting a war will be held on our heads!

Pan Futai, you make an excerpt. Report this matter to the court as it is! ”

Ye Mingchen never expected it. This soft bone is recruited at once. After hearing this, Ye Mingchen sat on the ground with a 'poof', and this is over!

Ye Mingchen lost his mind, Pan Shicheng didn't, he picked up the pen and wrote, and he got the fold in a short time, first Yang Meng, and then himself. Next is the officials of the Liangguang Official Bureau, this matter must be clear in terms of rights and responsibilities, since it is the disaster caused by Ye Zhongtang, it is still up to Ye Zhongtang to bear it alone!

"Ye Mingchen, this is an excerpt, take a look! If there is no objection, you may want to sign your name as well! ”

handed over the excerpt to the Liangguang officials in the hall, and Ye Mingchen, who had lost his mind and was a little unclear, signed the excerpt in a daze.

"Pan Futai. Excerpt entrust an official to take a boat to send to Beijing! It's faster to go back and forth like this, so we can deal with it here.

As for this traitor. His three relatives and six deaths, his family's three relatives and six deaths, all raided the house, Ruo Yaluo's incident, really caused a war, this group of people, whether old or weak, women and children, wrapped in cloth and wax to light the sky lantern! The ancestral grave was also picked up and poured with dung juice!

Publicize this matter in advance, if you are a traitor under the rule of Lao Tzu, none of your relatives, ancestors, and descendants will end well, as for Ye Zhongtang's family, whether it is in Guangzhou or in Hubei, send soldiers to take care of it and leave it for killing in the coming day! ”

Yang Meng gave the order coldly, and now Ye Mingchen is out of mind, he is the number one official in Liangguang, as for whether to kill or not, and how many people to kill, Yang Meng doesn't care.

This is the way of the world, without a bloody lesson, the world does not know what horror is! Killing the merchant who designed Ye Mingchen, Yang Meng wanted to warn the people near Guangzhou, if anyone became a traitor, this is a lesson from the past.

As for Ye Mingchen's family, Yang Meng is not vain to kill, the purpose of this is to deter the officials of Liangguang, and the second is to deter the officials of the imperial court.

"Lord Ministry, will this be a little harsher?"

Zhulian, it's not a big deal, but the relatives and friends of Zhulian's relatives and friends, this matter is a big deal, dozens of people outside the hall are only a part, and if they don't get it right, they will kill hundreds of people, and Pan Shicheng also disapproves of this.

"Do it! Bring the people involved in the Yarrow here, and as for this fool, lock up and starve! ”

A Guangzhou merchant named Huang Liankai never thought that the price of 500 Yingyang would be so great, and he, like Ye Mingchen, also fell into a sluggishness, and when he was dragged down the lobby by the soldiers of the coastal defense battalion, he cried and begged for mercy, but it was too late.

"Yang Laosan, the outcome of this matter is not yet known, you are not qualified to do so in Guangzhou City!"

Ye Mingchen, who came back to his senses, had to be tough in order to survive, Yang Laosan's murderous intent was too great, if he lost power, he might not really attack his family.

"You idiot, stay honest, I have something to do now, and I don't want to kill you now!"

Ye Mingchen's shouting did not make Yang Meng give in, and slapped Ye Mingchen away, and Yang Meng began to think about how to deal with it.

Liang Guoding, the chief soldier of the naval division, Liang Mingtai, Liang Jianfu, the water bandits on the Yaluo, and the three beams with some coincidences also provided Yang Meng with some important information.

The Yarrow is owned by the merchant Fang Yaming, but the tricky thing is that the captain of the Yarrow is an Irishman, and this Liang Guoding had a conflict with the minister Pasha Li when he arrested people, and he also made a move.

And Liang Mingtai and Liang Jianfu's confessions opened a good door for Yang Meng, Yaluo came to Guangzhou to collect a batch of thieves, and the purpose of hiring these two water bandits was to buy and sell the stolen goods.

It seems that the captain of the Yarrow, Thomas, is a key person! This should know the cause and effect of the incident, and this game should have been designed by the Irishman Thomas behind the shipowner's back.

The truth of the matter is clear, Ye Mingchen is not at fault in this matter, but he fell for Baoling's plan, which is negligence, and he doesn't know what Pa Xiali is going to do with this article?

"Ye Mingchen, you also know the origin of the matter, do you know what to do? Handle it properly, and your old puppet may be able to get through it safely, and if the battle starts because of the Yarrow, you will wait to be destroyed! ”

Ye Mingchen, who was slapped twice by Yang Meng, although he was furious in his heart, but this matter seemed to be really troublesome, and after he listened carefully to the original situation, he couldn't come up with a suitable way to deal with this matter.

"Yang Butang taught me!"

At the critical moment, Ye Mingchen also lowered his face, this matter is the same for the imperial court, and it is the same for Yingyi.

"Ignore it and ignore it! Don't say it's good, say more wrong!

Take good care of the prisoners, now at this time, we have no chance of winning the war with Yingyi, once you lose Guangzhou, you know what the outcome will be.

Pa Xia Li, I will inevitably negotiate with you in the past two days, he doesn't have the courage to find Lao Tzu, once Pa Xia Li finds you to ask for someone, this matter is the real trouble, which means that Yingyi is ready to use force. ”

Pashali is a China expert, presumably he is also organizing a crime at this time, right? In Yang Meng's opinion, the war is a foregone conclusion, and now Ye Mingchen is already a dead man, his only role is to act with Pa Xiali, delay the time, and Yang Meng's side can also respond accordingly.
