Chapter 117: Going to Guangdong Again

In less than a month, the East India Company took action directly. Yunyan's losses were acceptable, but it was only more than 500,000 taels of silver, but thirty good players disappeared, which made Yang Meng's forehead stretch out blue veins.

His father-in-law Pan Shicheng is also in danger. Lixiang Garden is close to the harbor outside Guangzhou City. Once the guns are fired, no matter how many people defend, Lixiang Garden may not be able to defend it.

Yang Meng knew that the great powers were greedy, but he was so unscrupulous. It was hard to get on the tiger! It was not a solution to fight hard. He brought one or two thousand people with his own muskets alone, and he was not an opponent of the great powers. Compromise was even more impossible. Once he gave in, the East India Company would only be more arrogant. This time it was exclusive sales, and next time it would be a recipe.

"Ziqi, how do you think we should act when we go to Guangzhou this time?"

With a short plan, Guangzhou is in danger. Yang Meng is also a little confused. The best way to solve the problem is to negotiate, but how to force the East India Company to the negotiating table is also a big problem.

Taking advantage of the rift between the great powers is easier said than done! This is the case with the East India Company, and other great powers are not better. It is good to drive tigers and swallow wolves, but you also have to have the ability to drive tigers to accomplish things.

After hearing Yang Meng's inquiry, Qin Ziqi fell into deep thought. Mr. Pan explained the situation clearly in Guangzhou, but how to act is worthy of investigation.

Then Lao Shizi East India Company seems to be a powerful one, otherwise Mr. Pan, who is a second-rank official, would not have sent a letter to ask for help, and the third master would not have been so embarrassed.

"Put it out to be a desperate situation and do something wrong."

Mr. Pan from Guangzhou is behind the court, and the Yang family also has an official position in the court. Both of them are afraid of the East India Company and can only learn from the Qing Dynasty and compromise.

"It's a stamina... Well! This is good! Ziqi, I'm going to bring Master Ge this time. You must keep a few reliable personnel to keep an eye on him. You can't let him have any contact with the outside world. If it really doesn't work, Master Ge can kill him!"

There are rifts among the great powers, so you have to listen to the foreigners' use of them. Let Ge Shiyang first go to the missionaries to collect information, and then make plans on the road based on these.

But Ge Shiyang was not burdened with anything in Yunnan, just because he was afraid that his actions in Yunnan would be a huge threat to the Qing Dynasty and the same would be true for all the powerful countries.

"Ziqi, you go to Hulukou and invite Master Ge back, and call Mr. Wei over along the way."

Qin Ziqi left, and Yang Meng had roughly planned in his mind. This time he went to Guangzhou was another dangerous journey, so he should do his family's affairs safely.

"Old Wei, I'm going to Guangzhou recently. You have to help Yan Qing in Yiliang's affairs. After all, he is also your closed disciple. Everything is mainly about stability. If you don't affect the major affairs of the Yang family, don't move!"

"Third Master, what's the matter when you go to Guangdong this time? I see that Yan Qing is also a little anxious. Wei Wu may be able to come up with an idea about this."

Yang Meng hid something from himself, but Wei Wu could figure it out. He knew the Yang family's Yunyan business, and went to Guangzhou for this.

Yunyan was a business that ruined the country. No matter what happened, Wei Wu had to do his best. Because of this, the Yang family was destroyed, and the Qing Dynasty would definitely not get any benefits.

"English East India Company has set its sights on the Yang family's Yunyan. I'm going this time to deal with East India Company."

Since Wei Wu, the old annihilation thief, asked, Yang Meng did not hide it. Yunyan's background had been told to him that this old annihilation thief had extraordinary knowledge and might have a good idea!

"English East India Company? How does the Third Master plan to act?"

When Wei Wu's face became serious when he heard it was related to Yingjili, the culprit of the Gengzi year. If this matter is not done well, the Qing Dynasty will have to suffer another defeat in the Gengzi!

"Battle! Beat hard! Beat to death! My thirty good guys disappeared in Guangzhou. I took this account on credit, but the capital must be recovered. The interest is too heavy. Now is not the time to collect the accounts. When it comes to the scene, it should be normal to have ten times the profit. During this period of time, it will be calculated based on the interest rate of the folk money."

Wei Wu, the old thief, knew very well. It would be difficult for him to take out good things without touching him. Thirty good guys died. Yang Meng was also angry in his heart, and he happened to use Wei Wu's question to spread it out.

"Third Master, you can't! Killing foreigners will inevitably lead to national war! What is the reason for the Battle of Gengzi? It's not the case of Lin Weixi. Lin Zexu, who was in Guangzhou, misleads the country and stops trading with foreigners, which leads to the outbreak of the Battle of Gengzi.

Thirty foreigners are enough for the two countries to go to war. Let’s be patient for the time being! It’s not that Old Wei is soft, but that the Qing Dynasty cannot withstand the torture, and our Yang family cannot withstand the torture either!

Yunnan just got the copper course from Sichuan, and the academy is slowly cultivating talents. This situation is completely incomplete and is not waiting for me at some time, but the third master's actions are destroying Yunnan's foundation!

When the war begins again, although the Qing Dynasty is the first to bear the brunt, it is not a merit for foreigners to destroy the Qing Dynasty. Will the court let the Yang family go? If the Qing Dynasty is in trouble, our Yang family will not be able to lose! Third Master must be cautious!"

When Wei Wu heard Yang Meng's words, he was also anxious and immediately took himself into the Yang family's camp. He was so painful that he was also an eloquent person.

"Oh... can't take revenge? But what does it mean to live? It's just one breath! The foreigner slapped me in the face, and it wouldn't be too much to chop off one hand? It wouldn't be too much to charge some interest after breaking one leg?

Yang San is a person who can rush to the point of being angry. He swallows his anger. That's what the turtle does!"

Wei Wu still kept his words! This old thief knew his thoughts and had to test them again.

"Let's do this! Old Wei followed the Third Master to Guangdong to go to Guangdong. Let's discuss this matter! First, we must make the Third Master vent their anger, and second, we must do the matter more properly."

Yang Meng's words really touched Wei Wu. He counted Yang Laosan's attitude towards life. It was really difficult to resolve this matter. Wei Wu Suo also took the initiative and decided to follow Yang Laosan to Guangdong.

"Let's go to Guangdong together? Who will decide on Yiliang's affairs? Yan Qing's little boy is not yet experienced enough. I'm not relieved to entrust Yiliang to him!"

Cen Yuying is a good person. He asked him to be his chief of staff. First, he had enough skills, and second, he had to train him. However, it would be better to let Wei Wu control him if he gave Yiliang to Cen Yuying, a well-thoughtful person.

"Although Yan Qing has shortcomings, but with the help of the guest, Yiliang should not be able to defend him. Moreover, Yan Qing's family has moved into Wuzhuang, and he can't do anything about rebellion. Although the housekeeper Ding of Yiliang Manor is young, he is also a calm person. With his constraints, Yan Qing even wants to do something extraordinary and his strength is not enough. Although the third master is at ease with Yiliang's affairs, he will not be able to become a powerful person even if he gives Yan Qing a lifetime of time."

Yang Laosan was extremely skilled in using people. Although he had little experience, he was perfect in his hiring. He was a little lacking in being his disciple in his hiring.

Not to mention Cen Yuying, even Wei Wu is also hindering his work in Yiliang. It is simply a whimsical thing to build his own power under Yang Laosan's nose.

"Okay! Just follow me. Yiliang's affairs are arranged. The academy affairs cannot be entrusted to Yan Qing, so let Taichen take the time for the time being! You choose a few experienced people and be Taichen's assistants. After the arrangements are made, we will leave in one or two days."

Cen Yuying? Being the chief of staff is enough. Minghu Academy is the foundation, or is it better for his own family to master it. Wei Wu, this old guy, has no good intentions! Is this going to cultivate Cen Yuying to pull his back?

After Yang Laosan pointed a note, Wei Wu was a little calm and took a leave and then went to arrange trivial matters in the academy. Thinking of Cen Yuying, Yang Meng also changed his mind. It seemed that it was necessary to keep a move.

Qin Ziqi took Ge Shiyang back to the academy. Yang Meng first whispered a few words to Qin Ziqi and sent him out. Then he began to plan with Ge Shiyang.

"Master Ge, today you can find out the relationship between European countries. You must contact the missionaries in the translation library one by one to see if there is any available. There is a mess in Guangzhou, and I also negotiate with the East India Company.

There are also those who have been placed separately. Tomorrow I will ask someone to take you to Hulukou Camp. I will send these people back to Guangzhou this time.

You have many tasks today. First, you need to understand the relationship between Europe and the United States, and second, you need to command craftsmen to make the most powerful artillery in Europe for me."

After casting artillery overnight, Ge Shiyang was frightened by Yang Meng's words. This was impossible!

"Lord, I know very well the relationship between Europe and the United States. I don't need to ask about this. I also know the missionaries and technicians who came here. There are several suitable candidates for commercial negotiations. I can do all these things, but I really can't complete this task overnight!"

The first few things can be done, but even if the gods come, they can’t do it!

"Making simulation models, whether they are paper paste or woodcut, must be completed tomorrow. The camp at Hulukou should be used as artillery camps, and the dozens of available artillery cannons are placed in front for training, and the models you make are mainly to shock some people."

"This is no problem. It is enough to create dozens of powerful field artillery models. The scale of five thousand people and so many artillery has surpassed the configuration of European artillery. I will go back to the camp now, and there is no problem with this mission."

The messenger sent Ge Shiyang back to Hulukou, and Yang Meng also sent Ding Taichen over. He was helpless to do so! Letting these missionaries go back and fictitiously fabricate Yunnan's combat power is also a warning to various countries. Although it is a bit dangerous, the effect should be good.

I should have taken Lian'er back to visit my relatives when I went to Guangdong, but this time I went to Guangdong with many dangers, so I could only let her write a letter from the family, which can be regarded as a comfort to her. After most of the things in Yunnan, the next thing will be to do is family affairs.

He sent someone to send a message to the old man in Yunnan. Yang Meng brought his own staff back to Yiliang's manor. When he heard that his husband was going to Guangzhou, Lian'er couldn't sit still and chattered and clamored all the way.

Of course Yang Meng would not agree. Lian'er, who was rejected, was very angry and ignored Yang Meng if the surname Suo was ignored.

"Your father is in trouble. I'm going to kill someone this time! You must not follow him. If it doesn't go well there, I will take your father to Yunnan. You can't cause trouble."

The first time Yang Meng spoke with a stern face, Lian'er was also a little scared, but when she heard that her father was in trouble, she immediately became nervous. Thinking of her love with her husband, Lian'er's heart became a little more stable.

The last time we met was for our uncle. This time we went to save our father, Lian'er endured the grievances in her heart and started writing letters with tears in her eyes. In the evening, Yang Shiqin also rushed to Yiliang Manor. After listening to the incident, the old man of the Yang family was silent for a while and only said one sentence.

"Last brother! I don't care about other things. Your old Taishan cannot be damaged at all. If you do this, you are sorry to the Pan family! How to do things, you must have a constitution."

Yiliang is the backyard of the Yang family. Yang Shiqin lived in the manor and handed over the matters in Kunming to the boss and Ding Baojun. Things went well in Guangzhou, and the Yang family would go well. If things went wrong in Guangzhou, troubles would come one after another.

With an old man in charge, Yang Meng's heart was relieved. As long as tomorrow's military parade ended, he would set off for Guangdong the day after tomorrow.

Wei Tuozi and Ge Shiyang did a very appropriate job in the military parade. Yang Meng led a group of missionaries into the valley, and the team of 6,000 people knelt down. Most of the foreigners in the scene were stunned.

In shock, after watching the gunner's training, these missionaries looked at Yang Meng with admiration. Most of these people were knowledgeable, and these artillery soldiers in Yunnan had definitely reached the level of a strong European army.

In addition to dozens of three-pound cannons used for training, through layers of artillery, nearly a hundred covered artillery in the Hougu, they also looked at one of them. The small ones should be about eight pounds of field cannons, the medium ones should be twenty-four pound cannons, and the dozen large ones should be siege cannons.

After a team of artillery tests, these missionaries can confirm that these thousands of people are definitely well-trained artillery. What about the infantry and cavalry that matches them? Yunnan's combat power is no less than that of small and medium-sized countries in Europe!

The day after the military parade, Yang Meng took tens of thousands of kilograms of clouds and smoke and a thousand selected infantrymen boarded the ship in Yiliang and rushed straight to Guangzhou. (To be continued.)
