Chapter 103: Chaos Rises
"Tens of millions of catties of refined copper, so didn't we make a windfall? How did they hide it? ”
For this matter, Yang Meng can only be surprised, in a few decades, he can do this kind of way, and the situation of Yunnan copper is completely defeated, this Yunnan copper official is not simple.
"Simple! If it weren't for the fact that I suddenly got the post of copper salt ambassador, if it weren't for the increasing arrogance of these copper officials and their neglect of these military aircraft, this good thing could be shared on our heads? This batch of copper officials has been controlled by our people, just waiting for the holy decree of the imperial court to come down, we will punish them, and the harvest must be small! ”
Sichuan copper into Yunnan, now is just a beginning, the Yang family now urgently needs silver, and Yunnan generations of copper officials, in order to hold down the cover of Yunnan copper, there is one, all settled in Yunnan, decades of Yunnan copper income, hundreds of rich households, that is not a small amount.
"Old man, since they have become the climate, is it a bit hasty for us to start rashly?"
Decades of cover, just say that it will be revealed, I am afraid that those copper officials will resist to the death, once this matter is leaked, it is not a trivial matter to bully the king.
"It doesn't matter! It's only to blame that they were too careful before, and now they are too arrogant, Yunnan Tongguan is a family of their own, and they have a tendency to be leaky, but a holy decree of the imperial court ruined the good situation they used to operate. In order to cover the matter of Yunnan copper, they also spent a lot of scheming, from top to bottom in Yunnan, no one knew the details of the withering of the copper class.
They spent money to buy the way, and it was also after the accident that these decades passed. The backlog of Yunnan copper has long been impossible to study. These people are half-hidden and half-hidden in Yunnan. Acting with extreme caution, I used to only know a rough idea.
But he captured a few bronze officials. In the first trial in private, I caught their heels, one hundred and ten big men! Compared with these people, our family is really not a wealthy businessman in the southwest. But these people dare not show off their money, and this large amount of gold and silver will rot in the cellar.
Don't worry, I have all these people under control, and I will find an excuse from the official side and raid their homes. That's it! ”
Resident in Yunnan, dare not eat, dare not drink, occasionally arrogant. Even once, they had to run out of Yunnan, in addition to buying a lot of land, these people had only silver left, and Yang Shiqin didn't plan to let go of such a fat sheep.
"Old man, let's not do this from the official face. Is their family business big? ”
The old man's methods can be regarded as above board, but this matter is done from the official side. I'm afraid that I'm missing something.
"Great! Absolutely big! These days, I have basically figured out, except that silver is land, and these people are scattered all over Yunnan. It is almost the same as that Zhou Shiqing, and more than 20% of the land in Yunnan. It was in the hands of these men. ”
Yang Shiqin didn't do it for a long time, also because of these lands. Now that the oracle is in place, these things are much easier.
"Good! That's great! It's best all over Yunnan, and the west of Yunnan can be dealt with recently, and the west of Yunnan will be chaotic as soon as the New Year passes, take the opportunity to spend some silver and get things done, and the chaos over there is easy to do!
Elsewhere, my brothers, didn't they let them be officials? Change the strategy first, let them go to these places to be officials, the plague has not stopped! Let them die directly from the plague, and we can take the opportunity to form another epidemic prevention camp.
Aren't we opening trade routes to gather the mountain people? It happens to be placed on the spot, and they can also protect our family business there, killing three birds with one stone, and they don't need to start from the official plane.
Otherwise, it won't do us any good to copy a hundred and ten in a row, and if someone carefully checks the heels, we won't be able to run away. ”
Armed robbery, Yang Meng is definitely an expert, and the old man who said this is also suddenly.
"Hmmm! Your method is better than mine! There is no heel in this way, this age is old, and the brain is not good, this Sichuan copper into Yunnan is done, it seems that I really want to go into hiding. ”
Yang Shiqin also felt that although the third child's method was poisonous, it was absolutely cool, and these corrupt officials could only complain that they were unlucky, according to their own methods, their families could still have a way to live, and the third child's method came out, and it really responded to the nickname given to the third child by his in-laws, Yang Annihilation!
Just after a fat year, at the beginning of the year, he encountered a gold mine that was so big that it was boundless, Yang Meng's face was also filled with joy, just when the two were happy, the news of western Yunnan came, and the chaos rose again!
"Who took the lead? How many gatherings? ”
As soon as he heard that the chaos had risen again, Yang Meng couldn't sit still, Du Wenxiu, Ma Qinghu and his entourage entered Beijing, and there has not been a word so far, but I am afraid that things over there will not go well.
This Du Wenxiu and others must have an agreement with the local clansmen, Du Wenxiu and others have not returned for a long time, and the return of the western Yunnan side seems to have lost its restraints, and this time the matter is difficult to do.
"Headed by Huang Baba, Zhang Fu and Ma Xiaoqing have gathered thousands of people to train and make swords in Youdian Mengting Village, and the surrounding green battalions have been defeated and retreated."
"What is the cause of the chaos? So what is Yongchang's team training doing? Don't they claim to be in the tens of thousands? Is Jinji Village still there? ”
The green camp was defeated and retreated, and there was no news of Yongchang's group training, Yang Meng knew that the situation in Ludao was serious, and last time He Changling personally supervised the army and defeated Zhang Shixian, this time I am afraid that I will have to make a big move again.
Fortunately, Yang Meng left some knife hands in western Yunnan, otherwise the Yang family would not know about the situation over there until the Green Battalion was dispatched.
Under the explanation of the knife hand, Yang Meng also had a general understanding of what happened, and as he expected, this time the Han people celebrated the New Year, which aroused the dissatisfaction of Yongchang's suffering.
Last time, He Changling led his troops to fight the rebellion, which was also a bit effective, and he promised to return Yongchang to the land, but because the imperial court rewarded the Yang family, He Changling hurried back to Kunming, and this matter was not left alone.
When it comes to the land in hand, the Han landlords will naturally not stop easily, and the local gentry in Yongchang hate to return, although He Changling said that he gave an order, but his subordinates did not do it thoroughly, not only did not return the land, but also drove away those bitter masters.
As soon as the New Year passed, there was no news of Du Wenxiu and others, and the land was not returned for a long time. It's good that this matter doesn't make trouble, but when it does, there will be disputes.
The requirements of Huang Baba and others are simple. Let the government distribute the land, and then give them a few thousand taels of entanglement. Let them go home and prepare for spring sowing.
But Jing Yaochun, the commander of Yongping County, thought that these backs were cheating and blackmailing the government, so he didn't want to deal with this matter, but Huang Baba and the others didn't do it! directly said cruel words at the county office, saying that their property did not need to be checked by the government, and they went to get it back.
What's going on when you want to come back, Jing Yaochun knows that this is trying to fight! Huang Baba and others are also blind. Can fighting the government have their benefits? 'Crackling' a board is Jing Yaochun's reply.
Huang Baba and others who were beaten, naturally they would not be reconciled, and the cities and villages of Yongchang were full of their unveiling posts overnight, and Yongchang returned to everyone in danger, and in a few days, they gathered thousands of people.
These people, like Zhang Shixian's men and horses, are all strong people who practice martial arts, plus the response of mountain people from all over Yongchang. A contingent of several thousand people was built.
Huang Baba can't fight lawsuits, but he still has a set of soldiers, and after plundering a few Han villages, he brought grain, grass and silver money. Occupy the right Dianmeng Pavilion Village, looking at the shelf is about to make a big anti-Qing.
"The third child, it's not a good thing! Last year's harvest in Yunnan was not good. There has been no rain since last winter, and this year's harvest is going to be in the soup! It's a mess. I am afraid that it will be protracted, and once there is no harvest in the agricultural season. Not only will there be chaos in western Yunnan, but it is likely to affect other state capitals. ”
The cost of the porridge in the first month has come out, nearly 200,000 yuan, the news provided by businesses around the country is not very good, last year's grain harvest in Yunnan was poor, there is a canal irrigation in Yiliang, and it has not been affected much, but other places in Yunnan are different.
The land of the Yang family is mostly concentrated in Yunnan Mansion, and there is no concept of this poor harvest, and it cost 200,000 yuan to give porridge, according to which Yang Shiqin has an approximation. In the past, the porridge in the whole territory was only 350,000 at most, not hungry, no one would accept alms in the first month, and the cost of five or six times more shows that there are many hungry people in Yunnan.
Huang Baba made such a fuss, I was afraid that all parts of the country would respond, the momentum of the Yang family had just improved, and such a large-scale civil unrest would be very fatal to the Yang family and Yunnan.
"Damn Jing Yaochun, a few thousand taels of silver, and the land that should have been repaid, because this caused civil unrest, it's too worthless, these damn bastards. It's just to go to western Yunnan to solve those copper officials, I'll go for a trip! Last time, there was a conflict with Shen Jucheng in Jinji Village, and this time it happened to be eliminated together! Even Liu Guimao, who had a grudge, was sent away together! ”
Miscellaneous things Yang Meng sometimes can't remember clearly, but the enemy Yang Meng can remember clearly, just taking the opportunity to make a fortune, he sat in western Yunnan and killed those who hated the Yang family.
"No! Now is not the time, keep them and still be able to contain Huang Baba and others, otherwise there will be no constraints, and then you will have to deal with Huang Baba and others, why bother to kill more, let them live for a while! ”
Yang Shiqin knows very well that if he is allowed to do it, Jinji Village is afraid that it will not be able to be saved, and such a thing as slaughtering the village will inevitably affect the innocent, so it is better to do less.
Then there is the civil unrest mainly based on Huihui, and western Yunnan is not the territory of the Yang family, and it is not a good thing to kill Shen Jucheng and others now. In case Huang Baba is not controlled, the Yang family will have to clean up the mess in the future.
There are quite a few people in the civil unrest this time, and the Green Battalion is bound to take action, and killing the Green Battalion generals during this sensitive period will also cause a lot of trouble.
"Let's talk about it then! This time, He Changling may not go, but Yunnan Governor Zhang Bilu will inevitably go, the green battalion soldiers under him are not things, it is difficult to ensure that there is no conflict with them, I will go to western Yunnan this time, mainly to deal with the copper officials, and the rest of the things, as long as they do not move the Yang family's property in western Yunnan, I will not make a move easily, if they don't know each other, with the help of Huang Baba's flag, give him a powerful one, it's not impossible. ”
The old man's idea is good, now except for Shen Jucheng and others, Du Wenxiu and these high-level officials are not there, I am afraid that Huang Baba will not be controlled, and when the time comes, there will be chaos in western Yunnan, and it will be the Yang family who will contribute money and efforts.
"Hmmm! That's it! Try not to do it, once you do, you will have a dead hand, and you can't leave a trace of heels. Now the imperial court has asked me to be the ambassador of copper salt in the three provinces, and I don't know how many pairs of eyes are secretly staring at our family! Your 8,000 soldiers and horses in Yiliang, don't use them, this time with some swordsmen in Wuzhuang and Kunming's group training, the banner is to protect our family's industry in western Yunnan.
After receiving the land and silver money from those copper officials, you will directly lead the local mountain people down the mountain, give them the fields, and form a new regiment on the spot, so be it! Don't bring the regimental training in Kunming, only bring the knife hand in Zhuangzi, and recruit mountain people on the spot after going to protect themselves, the current situation is too chaotic, and you must not leave a handle in western Yunnan.
The 8,000 men and horses in your epidemic prevention camp will also be divided into 5,000 to come to Kunming! I don't know what the outcome will be when you go, so we have to prepare in advance. ”
A few days ago, I didn't care about anything, it was because the third child dealt with it decently, and now at this time, Yang Shiqin also showed his real skills, the affairs of western Yunnan have always been very delicate, Huihui, the militia group, and the green camp have maintained a relative balance, but the year is not good, there are too many hungry people, in case the civil unrest expands, and the militia and green camp in western Yunnan are defeated, things will become out of control.
