Chapter one hundred and eighty eighth

Looking at the school yard, the weapons, and the only seventy or eighty brave soldiers left in the field, Lin Zexu was helpless. Although Yang Meng did a good job, Shiqing was like this. After leaving this group of green camp soldiers, recruiting another group may not be much better than this group of people.

The green camp soldiers who were driven away were also a problem. If the soldiers were not raised, they would become bandits. Some of them could not survive and would become bandits. Moreover, half of these people were big smokers. Once people occupied opium, they would become extremely vicious. Once the opium was cut off, there would be little difference between these people and birds and beasts.

Although he said that the Yang family wanted to make up for the shortage of the governors, Lin Zexu still had a heart tense. The Yang family already had Yang Shiqin and Yang Yi, and with the commander of the governors, the authority of the governors of Yunnan and Guizhou was not very good.

It seems that he had greatly underestimated the matter of Yang Laosan and making up for the bidding supervision. It would be fine if Yang Laosan said it was right. If he had any wrong thoughts, just give him a general and let him be idle at home.

"It's simple to make up for the people who are in charge of the bidding! Now in Yunnan, there are many hungry people everywhere, and they don't have to pay for their wages. As long as they care about their fullness, they are people who come to invest."

Lin Zexu is testing Yang Meng, and Yang Meng is also testing Lin Zexu. Where is Lin Zexu's bottom line? This is something that Yang Meng must understand, otherwise many things in the future will be difficult to deal with.

"Catch hungry people? Don't you have two or three thousand people in Yiliang?"

Yang Meng's answer was also a big surprise to Lin Zexu. It seems like a good way to seize hungry people.

"The Yiliang's people are practicing courage. Their families are all in Yiliang. They can't use them locally, and it's not impossible to come out, but it can't take too long. Yiliang is a major agricultural county. If these two or three thousand people are missing, it will affect the harvest.

Now it is almost the farming season, and those people cannot be dispatched. Besides, the Super Biao is different from other Green Camp soldiers, and there is not much free time in a year. It is not appropriate to let Yiliang's regiment trainees be the Super Biao!"

Yang Meng's idea was to instigate Lin Zexu to select soldiers from western Yunnan. The farmers and tenants in Yiliang were all loyal to the Yang family. It was inappropriate to drag them out to join the army. Lin Zexu's idea must be cut off.

"Well! Farming is the most important thing! According to your opinion, which person should I choose?"

"This is simpler. Bachelor scoundrels from all over the country. When Yunnan Prefecture was preventing the epidemic, I chose bachelor scoundrels. They are the unstable factors in each prefecture and county. Let's get together, so there's a control, right?"

Yunnan Prefecture is not a good place for the selection of soldiers, and Yang Meng is also trying his best to lead Lin Zexu to western Yunnan.

"Bald rogue? It's a good idea, but these people are used to being free and unrestrained. The Governor's Office is also the frontier of the Governor's Office. They can't let them ruin the reputation of the Governor's Office."

Yang Meng's idea was really good, but Lin Zexu felt something was wrong again. By stretching it out, Lin Laohu was also quickly calculating gains and losses.

"This is simple, if you don't go well, you'll just kill it! Kill hundreds of times, make sure they are honest and hit whatever they point to!"

OK! I want to kill someone again, so I feel something is wrong. It turns out that this pit is here!

"This matter is not right, so let's do it! The western Yunnan side was also affected by the disaster. The personnel who supervised the bid were selected from western Yunnan. The mountain people, Han people, Hui Hui, and some bachelors and scoundrels would be able to handle the affairs of all ethnic groups in Yunnan in the future.

And how can you train these personnel you choose? This army is not a matter of overnight success. You are familiar with the military formation. Don’t be able to use people when you use them, your supervisor will not be able to take advantage of it!”

To solve the problem in Yunnan, it is necessary to use a knife and a gun. Lin Zexu also reminisce about it. Yang Meng dispersed the supervision bid, as if he was delaying the time! Although the Yongchang incident was not very urgent, it was also an imperial case. It would be impossible not to deal with it. It seems that the Yang family had a lot of grudges with themselves for Yang Yi's affairs.

The play meat is coming. Since Lin Zexu agreed to select soldiers from western Yunnan, the next step is to make a fortune. Things go smoothly. With the extent to which Lin Laohu hates opium, things are done!

"Sir, in the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, there are many people who do opium business. Most of them have strong men and evil slaves. The training of troops is simple. You give a military order. I will take the commander of the bidder to sweep the opium dealers in the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan. No matter who he is, as long as he sells opium, he will kill him a son and a grandson!

There are so many hungry people in Yunnan. After three or five months of killing, not only will the opium in Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan provinces be empty, but the Yunnan supervision logo can be used.

There are also smokers from all over Yunnan who took this opportunity to kill a group of them. Now it is famine. It is not a good thing for them to smoke smoke and waste food. They also handle the matter and give the court a clear Yunnan."

Although He Changling strongly advocated banning smoking, the Yang family did not have the ability at that time, and Li Xingyuan could not say that he and the Yang family could not pee in the same pot. Lin Laohu hated opium deeply, and it seemed that it was time for opium to disappear in Yunnan.

Yang Meng had a good idea of ​​smoking, quitting smoking, and making money, but he didn't know that banning smoking was a serious illness in Lin Zexu's heart. It was because of opium in the year of Gengzi that he wasted four or five years.

Now that opium has become poisonous to the Qing Dynasty, smoking ban has become an untouchable topic. Now many Manchu and Han ministers are planning to impose taxes on opium trading, and some places have already begun to impose taxes. It is said that the benefits are quite considerable, and smoking ban is not a good time.

Opium trading is the old merchants in Guangzhou Thirteen Trading. Now most of the opium trading in the Qing Dynasty is indifferent to them. The huge benefits have led them to form a huge interest group in several years. Now, I am afraid that the position of the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou will not be able to be kept.

But opium is ultimately a poison that harms the country and the people. It cannot help but be inconsistent with his original intention. He thought of the big smoke ghosts and half of the Yunnan Super Biao. Lin Zexu didn't know what to say.

"This matter...this matter...ah...this matter can I consider it?"

This was the first time Lin Zexu showed his fear. Yang Meng couldn't help but look down on this Qing Dynasty tiger minister. The ban on smoking is OK, and if it doesn't work, it doesn't work. Lin Zexu was timid and looked back. Could it be that he was old but he was braver?

After Lin Zexu said this, he felt a sense of shame. After four or five years of border guarding, the court produced too many corrupt officials, rioters, and bandits in the Qing Dynasty. Now it is time to stare at me. Although opium is poisonous, it cannot be eradicated overnight. Now it is the right thing to stabilize Yunnan and set a model for the Qing ministers.

Doing things in Yunnan well will benefit all the people! The current ban on smoking will only make me lose my power again. Now I am different from the past. My holy favor is no longer as good as before. Opium in the Qing Dynasty was not only a poisonous substance, but also represents an interest group. Now I am far from being a rival to this interest group.

The reckless behavior will only make the emperor and his own plans die. In an instant, Lin Zexu thought about a lot of things, and could not help but decide. He already had a very accurate choice in his mind, but... he just couldn't say it.

"Then the bid is waiting for the military order of the adults! My master, there is another question about the bid, how many people are required to be the governor?"

Lin Laohu is really old and has lost his courage. This is not a bad thing for Yang Meng. The more Lin Laohu is concerned, the less he can do it. The world is so heartless! After the Gengzi disaster, Lin Laohu is no longer Lin Laohu.

"There are 1,800 people on the roster. To train this number of elite soldiers, how many strong men do you need to recruit?"

When talking about the ban on smoking, Lin Zexu's interest was greatly reduced and he had no intention of banning opium. However, his arms could not be banned. He kept a useful body and served the court. Lin Zexu also spent a lot of effort to make this decision.

"The number of people twice as many as 3,600 people, as for the military pay, you can rest assured. As long as you take care of your fullness, I will try to find some people with a small family and slowly eliminate them through training. In three or five months, more than 1,500 people should be selected. At that time, the supervision of the bid should be able to fight."

How many people choose? Through this formation of the Supervisor, Yang Meng wanted to bring some of the more rebellious people from western Yunnan to Kunming, and trained himself, plus dozens of good players under Du's Sanhu, so he was not afraid that these mountain people would have any other bad intentions.

"Well! Just follow what you said! There are 3,600 people, don't set the standard for elimination too high. Use it if you can. After all, Yunnan is now in a famine season, so we have more people here, and there will be more batches of food in western Yunnan.

The guns and cannons in the green camp are a bit unhealthy. Do you have a shop in Guangzhou? After a few days, I will discuss with your father to see if I can move some money from the copper and salt lessons and buy some Western muskets and cannons.

Don’t do anything too much about smoking bans. Green camps have limited money and food, so you can do some business in secret.”

The governor of Yunnan and Guizhou was in charge of military and political affairs in the two provinces. The green camp in Yunnan was not available, and Guizhou was not much different. Although there was a Zhang Bilu training troops in Guizhou, Lin Zexu still knew what kind of soldiers he could become.

Zhang Bilu was a veteran general of the court. Although he was good at abilities, he did not have the murderous intentions of Yang Laosan. Half of the governors' offices were smoke ghosts, and Guizhou was definitely not much stronger.

The Yongchang incident is also a difficult lawsuit. It is reported that the Yongchang delegation president has changed hands. Lin Zexu issued an order to disband Yongchang Shoujian, which was not very useful. Yongchang Mansion said it was disbanded, but whether it was dissolved or not was dissolved, Yongchang's officials and gentry knew very well, and Lin Zexu was also very clear about it.

Yang Meng was responsible for preparing the bidding supervision staff. Zhang Bilu trained the Green Camp soldiers in Guizhou for two or three months, and only after the soldiers in his hands were available could he start to deal with the matter of Yongchang. Before that, he could test the situation in Yongchang.

The last sentence is the real drama. Lin Zexu hated those opium dealers and was short of money from the Super Biao. This is not impossible to adapt. Lin Zexu knew what the Yang family had done.

But banning smoking is a good thing. Those opium dealers can die as much as they die, but things have to be done secretly, and they are missed! He Lin Zexu will not be responsible.

"If the bid is lowered, it will never make any trouble for adults. Will this new group of supervisors train in Kunming or in western Yunnan?"

Yang Meng still felt uneasy about his second brother Yang Yi in Yongchang, western Yunnan. Qibaxiang and Shen Zhenda's power in Yongchang were deeply rooted. The second brother stabbed the hornet's nest. It was not a good time now. Although there were more than a thousand new troops there, once the battle started, Lin Zexu would be difficult to deceive.

It is a good choice to bring the new group's 3,600 Supervisors. If Shen Zhenda and Qibaxiang would be ignorant, they would just use the reason for training to uproot them and make a solution once and for all.

Lin Zexu was planning something. He knew clearly in his heart that if Lin Zexu had agreed before today, he would definitely agree to him, but Yang Laosan was too murderous. Five or six hundred people were buried alive without blinking. If he had a conflict with Yongchang's whistle training...

Lin Zexu was not afraid of defeat in the Super League. What he was afraid of was that Yang Laosan won the victory. With his surname, he could not do the tens of thousands of whistle training in Yongchang, and there would be a possibility of death and injury, so this matter was absolutely unanimous.

"There are also famines in western Yunnan. Compared with western Yunnan, the situation in Kunming is much better. Let's go to Kunming to train troops! Stars! I'll leave the bidding matter to you. I can't get much money on the Governor's Office. You have to find some things yourself!

Let’s talk about things first, if it really doesn’t work, let’s discuss it.”
