Tell the things to be done one by one, Yang Meng has become the speaker of the Yang family, Lao Tzu Yang Shi sat on the side diligently, his third child is good, he is organized, and he has a way to see things.

The eldest Yang Yong also admires his third brother, these foreign guns are all handled by him, to be honest, he himself will not play with this musket, let alone command the manpower and repair these delicate things of foreigners.

"Dad, when I go back today, I will select five hundred trustworthy people, and I have helped Wuzhuang train a group of gunners in the past few days. Big brother, it's the same with you, the brothers of the Walking Horse Gang, select one or two hundred, and I'll train you, so that if you go out, you will also have a guarantee of safety. ”

How to allocate these muskets is also a problem, Yang Family Wuzhuang, Ma Gang, and their own Yiliang manor all need such sharp firearms, but the number of guns is a little stretched.

Another Yang Meng thinks about the loyalty of the manpower, Wuzhuang and the eldest brother are all old people, there is no problem in loyalty, and his Yiliang Grange, but most of them are novices, and it is difficult to guarantee loyalty, now is the critical period for the Yang family to start, and there must be no chaos at this time.

"Alright, I'll have someone come over tomorrow."

Yang Shiqin is very clear about Yang Meng's purpose, and he also knows his hardships, the foreign gun is sharp, and it is better to hold it steadily.

"The people of the horse gang, there is no need to bring something, piercing the eyes!"

Yang Yong's idea is simple, the horse gang brought a lot of swordsmen, which is already very eye-catching, and then loaded with foreign guns, which merchant gang brought this thing.

"No, your caravan must be equipped with a short gun, what we are doing now is not a good deal, when we go, it is good to say, on the way back, the caravan brings most of the gold and silver, once it is targeted by people, it is a vicious battle, just rely on the knife handle, the hundred and ten people of the caravan are not good!"

The profit of cloud tobacco trading is too high, you can hide it once or twice, and you will inevitably be targeted if you have too many times, and ensuring the safety of the business route is the most important thing.

"Boss, you just listen to the third child, this matter is not negotiable, this time 300,000 Yingyang is okay to say, what if it is 3 million or 5 million next time? Silver is a heavy commodity, the caravan walks slowly, in case someone is targeted, there is no way to run, you can only the top, the foreign gun is sharp, if you have a hand, your one hundred and ten caravans, can block more than five hundred bandits. ”

Yang Shiqin has seen the power of the musket, and he also knows the danger on the road of Lu Dao, the Yang family has a reputation over the years, and there are almost no people who dare to fight the idea of the Yang family's horse gang.

The boss Yang Yong also took over a Taiping deal, and the initial bloodshed on the business road was all brought out by Yang Shiqin with his old brothers. The boss had only heard of the dangers on the trade routes, but had not seen them.

And the third child's business, one is harmful, the other is profiteering, once such a deal is leaked, the wealthy businessmen everywhere will be like seeing a bloody hungry wolf. Not to mention that the current Yang family is either a tiger or a tiger, and it can't stand up to many wolves.

Cooperate? It's even more impossible, the things made by the third child are sold to foreign devils, and he Yang Shiqin agrees with both hands, but he can sell them to the people of the Qing Dynasty, if this deal is opened, he can't close his eyes even if he dies.

"Okay! I can't listen to it! ”

The old man Yang Yong didn't dare to contradict it, and the third child was the same, don't look at him now, the boss of the Yang family is still very jealous of the third child who is dead.

Leaving the others in Xishan, the father and son of the Yang family returned to Wuzhuang with only the swordsmen of their henchmen.

This night, they were not idle, the old man and the boss were selecting the right people, and Yang Meng arranged for people to return to Yiliang and dispatched the people to be strong.

Xishan is the base camp, and the things there are much more important than Yiliang, Yang Meng plans to take advantage of the slack to let Minzhuang run Xishan into a fortress barracks.

Jiang Shuxian, who is proficient in geography, came in handy again, this place in Xishan, these days, has also been walked by Jiang Shuxian all over the place, a map of Xishan's defense, is Jiang Shuxian's achievements.

This map, in exchange for three hundred eagles from Yang Meng, can make Lao Jiangle bad, he wondered, should he donate the entire Yunnan mineral deposit map, so that his family will have no worries about food and clothing.

Jiang Shuxian's defense map was also obtained by him by asking around, and he spent a lot of money on it, and as a scribe of the Yunnan Governor's Office, he had a unique advantage, that is, he was familiar with Yunnan's military and political affairs and talents.

In these years, talents may not necessarily be reused, and such talents who cannot be reused are everywhere in the entire Qing Dynasty, a pot of old wine and a table of local vegetables, Jiang Shu first easily took out the basis of the defense map from other people's mouths, and he only needs to combine it slightly.

Jiang Shuxian's defense map is full of loopholes in Yang Meng's eyes, but this drawing still has a very high level in the Qing Dynasty. After making up for the loopholes in the defense map in his heart, Yang Meng handed over the drawings to Jiang Shuxian, who is now the construction manager of the entire Xishan Barracks.

Time was very tight, and the time required for masonry construction was too long, so Yang Meng also made changes in this regard, using local materials to build wooden and bamboo buildings. The trees in the West Valley also need to be cleaned up, secrecy is the most important thing now, Yang Meng doesn't want to let these trees become a cover for people with ulterior motives.

Strive to complete the project before the arrival of the agricultural time, this is the task that Yang Meng gave to Jiang Shuxian, grain is a big problem, and grain production must not be delayed because of anything.

Yiliang has the name of the granary in central Yunnan, but how the tenants of the Zhuang farmers there, Yang Meng knows best, in recent times, his frequent purchase of grain, but also increased the price of grain around Yiliang, which is a good thing for the landlords with a large amount of land, but even if it is a disaster for the peasants, they are already stretched, and the price of grain rises, many people will starve.

The whole of Yunnan is Yang Meng's target, Yunnan's transportation is inconvenient, and the price of transporting grain by land from other places is too high, which is not cost-effective. It's good to take the copper road waterway, but it will be noticed by the government. Now if you want to encroach on Yunnan, one is to rely on money and the other is to rely on grain, and the land in your own hands must not be abandoned because of anything.

The affairs of the three fathers and sons of the Yang family were handled extremely smoothly, and the Xishan Barracks entered the orderly construction, and Yang Meng also temporarily put aside the affairs of Yiliang, personally went into battle, and trained the swordsmen of Wuzhuang and the brothers of the horse gang.

The swordsmen of the five hundred Wuzhuang, the training given to them by Yang Meng was very simple, running, fighting, and gun training. Running and fighting, the knife hands can adapt, but holding a stick with a stone hanging from the front, many knife hands can't accept it.

One fell swoop is one or two hours, at the end of this day, not to mention the backache and leg pain, and the chopsticks can't be held steadily when eating, in just three days, the knife hands are a little unbearable, and some are not convinced to complain.

Yang Meng's answer is very simple, that is, the whip, after three days of adaptation, this gun training, on the right track, a stick of incense time, there can be no shaking, one move is a whip, two times ten whips, dare to move three times, no food!

The cruel punishment did not cause resistance, all the knife hands were starving, and they chose to grit their teeth and insist. After coming to the Qing Dynasty for a while, Yang Meng realized that it was better to be reasonable than to do it, whether it was a peasant or a rebellious mountain people, their servility was a little heavy.

Boss Yang's gang of horse brothers, after seeing the third master's awesomeness, was also as well-behaved as a sheep, and he did whatever he wanted, without a trace of hesitation or a little discount.

For the training of these people, Yang Meng is even more troubled, these people are the most elite swordsmen of the Yang family, not only strong and powerful, but most of them have killed people, and at the age of thirty, it is the peak of life.

Although these people are good, they have bigger problems, and the habits they have developed over the years are not so easy to change.

The configuration of a single bayonet, many people frowned, these swordsmen of the horse racing gang can be regarded as half of the Jianghu people, acting and doing things above board, and it is also a little difficult for them to learn to stab knives in the back and beat sticks.

But Yang Meng doesn't care about these, he just tells a reason, it's easy not to do it, once you do it, you will die, either you die, or the opponent will die, there is no second choice.

Looking at the knife hands training with their necks, Yang Meng also scratched his head a little, these people's actions are standardized, but they don't go to their hearts, just like this, they can't learn their own means until they die.

"Okay, don't practice, don't you think you're amazing? Let's try our hand at it! Look at a few of you, you can put down the third master! ”

These knife hands are idle, but he Yang Meng has no time to waste, and Yiliang is still a mess; How to ship and how many to ship the second time, he also has to make ideas; If the Yang family wants to really stay in Yunnan Station, what things they need, these are all things that Yang Meng has to do.

If it weren't for worrying about the safety of the eldest brother and the safety of the trade route, Yang Meng would not have had this mind and accompanied this group of bastards to delay time!

One person lost a piece of armor and a leather knife, and Yang Meng picked up two bamboo tubes casually, which were worthy of daggers.

"First one, then two, then four, eight ......, the third master will fight until there is none of you left."

Yang Meng's words are a little rampant, what do these swordsmen of the horse gang rely on to eat? That is, the bottom of the hand is tough, and the number one hundred and ten people can't let go of Yang Meng, so how can they still have the face to take the Yang family's share of the monthly money?

Put down Yang Sanye, these swordsmen also know that there are many difficulties, but when it comes to their own jobs, they are also ready to show their real skills. Yang Meng was angry here, and Yang Shiqin and Yang Yong, who were guarding Xishan, were also interested, and sent someone to bring benches, tables and chairs, put refreshments, and prepared to watch the excitement.

"What the hell!"

Looking at the old man and the eldest brother who were cross-legged and laughing, Yang Meng muttered in a low voice, who is he leaning on here for? Is it just for yourself? It's good for these two to think it's acting?

"Third brother, fight hard, don't let the eldest brother's people lose your face."

"The third child should be careful, they are all veterans in the family, don't kill them."

These two are hard-hearted to watch the excitement, Yang Meng can only turn his back and pout, if these two can end up how good, I have to give them a little bit of power.

The matter is big, attracting the old man and the uncle, these swordsmen of the horse gang, if they don't show their real skills, they can't do it, they lose face here, the uncle's face can't get by, can they still have their benefits?

The armor that Yang Meng let people drop, these people also wore it, Yang Sanye's hands were black, but as long as it was a Yang family, he knew that in order to be more comfortable, this armor was still good to wear.

The old man and the eldest brother are here, Yang Meng simply doesn't plan to hide his secrets, this time so that they can see their skills, and Yang Meng also needs a reputation, which can convince the reputation of the Yang family's swordsmen.

Whether it is the mountain people, the Huihui, or the Han people, after learning to kill people with fists and feet, they will be a little inflated, I don't know how many catties and taels they have, the old man has not made a move for a long time, and the eldest brother Yang Yong claims to be a businessman and disdains to make a move.

This sparring also happened to let these veterans of the Yang family help them fight for their prestige, which made them feel a little awe-inspired.
