The meeting with Boulbron is also a good thing for Yang Meng. He has seen the ministers of Britain, France and the United States, and his meaning has been conveyed. I believe that Guangzhou will be a relatively stable period in the next period of time...

While using diplomatic means and promising commercial interests, Yang Meng will not forget the basic skills and the matter of guns. In this world, people who can kill people, can only stand firm if they dare to kill people. If they rely on their verbal skills to win, they will not be far from being beaten.

"Yu Biao! What is the situation of Guangzhou Navy and Green Camp? What is the quality of the training and courage around Thirteen Fronts?"

During this period, Yang Meng handed over the investigation of Guangzhou's combat effectiveness to Yu Biao. Three or five days were enough for Yu Biao to make a rough assessment of Guangzhou's combat effectiveness.

"It's not so good! The navy only has dozens of red single ships and a twenty-four-pound naval cannon. I'm afraid it can be sunk in just a few strokes. As for the equipment of the navy and the green camp, killing people is not easy.

Not to mention practicing courage, most of these practicing courage were built by large businesses and merchants around Guangzhou. There are a lot of people, but their combat effectiveness is also limited!

Third Master, our family has more than 50,000 new troops in Guangzhou, and there are about 30,000 people in Wuzhuang, which is worse than..."

The combat power of the Guangzhou Navy and Guangdong Green Camp Land Division can only be described as terrible in Yu Biao's eyes. Such an army is far from the Taiping Army. It is easy to fight 30,000 to 50,000 to 50,000 yuan!

The Yang family has deployed a lot of troops in Guangzhou, including overseas Dudao, Guangzhou's Naval Academy, Huangpu shipyard, and Wuzhuang everywhere, with a quantity of 100,000. Instead of using these miscellaneous parts, it is better to use the Yang family's new army and come with a more convenient way.

"Well! I'll send another 50,000 troops from Yunnan. Wouldn't it be better to capture Hong Kong and Macao in one go?

Bastards! I use the navy, the green camp, and the courage to practice, so I naturally have a purpose. I have to defend Guangzhou, the local garrison, the people, and the merchants. If we do everything, the pain of Yuhui's skin will not be felt by the people.

Navy, Green Camp. Start the election of soldiers tomorrow, let Taichen create a field near the Thirteenth Route, and the eliminated troops will be sent back to Ye Mingchen together with the rags of the Green Camp!

As for practicing the courage, letting Yang Pan's business names jointly treat you. These training warriors are more like private troops than like brave camps, so it doesn't make much sense to keep them. Let's practice troops again!"

If you have troops in your hands, the court will have power. Yuhui is not the business of the Yang family, but the whole world. Yang Meng organized the construction of Chu Yong in the two lakes and lakes, and built a new camp in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Guangzhou has no shortage of troops, but there are no troops belonging to Guangdong. He trained a new army and regarded the new army as a seed. Yang Meng focused on not only Guangzhou, but also the four commercial ports in Xiamen, Fuzhou, Ningbo and Shanghai.

"San Master, I'm afraid the court will be resentful! Now we are not in harmony with Ye Mingchen, I'm afraid he will make trouble with this matter."

Xu Ziwei robbed Yu Biao and said that it was good to practice new courage, but at this time, it was better to be more sane, because the affairs of the court exposed the Yang family's ambition and were not beautiful!

"Well! The Counterattack reminds me that, but we have done this in Lianghu before, and we will report it to the court, so we will do our work first."

With the new green camp in Two Lakes as the foundation, this matter was natural. Xu Ziwei was too concerned about Ye Mingchen's power. In Yang Meng's eyes, the officialdom was just that. As long as the backstage was reliable, Ye Zhongtang and others could be despised. Now his backing is the Four-Color Stick. Even if he really did excessive things, there would be no punishment.

"The third master's statement is correct, but there is another saying that "relying on favor and being arrogant, we can't let Ye Mingchen catch our handle!"

"Ye Mingchen is already half-wasted, so there are some things you don't need to worry about. In the last debate, Ye Mingchen was defeated miserably. I think there is no way to kill a single blow, so Ye Mingchen will not take the initiative to attack."

Ye Mingchen is indeed a constraint for Yang Meng, but Ye Mingchen, who had just suffered a crushing defeat, should not provoke this matter. Hu Linyi's new camp in Jiangnan recently fought well. The new camp in the two lakes is in front of him. Ye Mingchen wants to criticize himself in this matter, and he is afraid he will suffer.

"San Master, after you arrived in Guangzhou, you have been much more aggressive and sometimes you should be more cautious."

Advancing is what Xu Ziwei wants to say. Starting from the river project, Yang Sanye’s steps have become more and more rapid. It is easy to say about Jiangnan, but in Xu Ziwei’s opinion, it is still necessary to be safe.

"As the situation is forced, we have to do it! Once the court signs a contract, the great powers of Europe and the United States will be united. Although the Qing Dynasty is big, it is not as big as the world. It is only against a group of wolves. Even in the Kangxi and Qianlong eras, the Qing Dynasty has no chance of winning!

What we do now is to take the chestnut from the fire, first divide the three countries of Britain, France and the United States, and then choose an opponent to fight against it. As long as we win, the world will have our foothold, otherwise we will be attacked by groups!"

Yinggeli is a good opponent, but what Yang Meng likes more is the giant bear in the north. Compared with Yinggeli, Eros can bring more benefits to Yang Meng.

"So that's it. It seems that the third master is still in charge of Zhizhu."

After saying this, Xu Ziwei began to think about Yang Meng's profound meaning. As an aide, it is also necessary to master the third master's ideas.

"Yu Biao, you can do what you just said! Let the generals and officials who were originally trained by the Navy Group set off in a team of ten people to Xiamen, Fuzhou, Ningbo and Shanghai, and let them meet with local officials first to see if they can be the same as Guangzhou. If it is really not possible, I will do it!

When you go out, find Taichen and ask him to do the work of gathering merchants in Guangzhou and big businesses, and invite them tonight."

That night, Yang Meng set up a banquet in his yamen. The Minister of War, the Minister of the Nanyang, was in charge of the five ports of trade, the Third Master of the Yang family, and Guangzhou under the control of the Pan Yang family. Yang Meng's names are unattainable for those merchants and big players.

Ding Taichen posted a post, and these people would naturally post on Yang Meng's twelve tables for banquets, and more than 80 major merchants from Guangzhou gathered in Yang Meng's yamen. After saying the compliments, after several rounds of toasts, Yang Meng also raised the topic.

"Today I invite you to have a banquet. There is only one purpose, to disperse your militia!"

This is also a matter that involves the vital interests of all merchants. Building a militia is not a loss-making business. With the title of militia, it not only has some benefits in taxation, but also has the security of the caravan. Yang Meng spoke and let everyone disperse the militia. Although Yang Meng had a high status, it involved personal interests and some words were unstoppable.

"Yangbutang, what are the benefits for us to disperse the militia?"

"The direct advantage is that you don't have to pay the food and pay."

When someone asked, Yang Meng answered, "These merchants and big players have a good strength when they merged. If they rob them or cooperate with them, it is optional for Yang Meng, who has mastered Guangzhou tariffs. It is better to cooperate than to oppose them. There are many people and great power!"

"The food and salary are only a small amount. If Mr. Yang San dispersed the militia, would the government really not let us help the salary?"

"I don't know how to do this here. This is outside Guangzhou City. As for the matter of this acre of three-point land, I can't control it!"

Asking the truth is Yang Meng's attitude towards these big merchants is not a fool. He is afraid that he will lose his credibility when he speaks the scene.

"San Ye, this outside Guangzhou City is not safe. We have dispersed to Jian Yong. How can we ensure safety?"

These words are closely related to everyone here. When this matter was mentioned, everyone's ears stood up.

"As it said, I don't care about anything else. As long as it is in my territory, I will protect your wealth and safety.

But there is a prerequisite for this matter. I will not protect the illegal person, and I will kill the opium seller when he sees it. In addition, as long as you are in my territory, you can basically ensure your safety.

Even if something goes wrong, I will arrange for you to withdraw as soon as possible. Everyone knows the current world. I am also from a businessman and fully guarantee everyone is as safe as a mountain. I dare not say this, it can only be a basic guarantee!"

Yang Meng's words were not full, but it was precisely catering to the thoughts of these merchants and wealthy people. Most of the people who swear by Yang Sanye said this, and most of the people present were convinced.

"Mr. It's easy to disperse the Yongding, but without the income of the militia, I'm afraid that some idle people will cause trouble with the Thirteenth Street at the dock. It's easy for us to do things, but I'm afraid that it's difficult to cause trouble to the master. "

Yang Meng spoke intimately, and the people below were also telling the truth. It was easy to disperse Yongding, but after Yongding was dispersed, I was afraid that there would be many people who would commit crimes.

"Scattered, it does not mean that it will be dispersed. These Yongdings want to join Laozi's newly built Yongying, the full-time Yongying, just like the Xiangchu army in the two lakes, to control the salary of five taels per month, but these are what the selected Yongding said.

As for those who do evil, you just need to convey this matter. My territory is all about military law, and the only way to punish me is to behead me. After you go back, you will each warn the people outside the city of Guangzhou not to violate my military law!"

Yang Meng opened his mouth and talked about the murder, but the big merchants were not surprised. The Yang family business was second only to the Pan family at the Guangzhou wharf. He was doing serious business with the Yang family business, and the Yang family business did not deceive others. However, those who dared to violate the interests of the Yang family business died miserably. For Yang Meng, who came from the Yang family business, the big merchants still believed it.

"Okay! Just as the Third Master wants to build a new camp, we will send Yongding to the Third Master's camp at any time."

"This is the best. After training, I still have a big deal to do here. I wonder if you are interested?"

When they heard that it was a big deal, everyone here immediately focused their attention on Yang Meng.

"The so-called big deal is really not small. I want to relocate the private houses and Thirteen Houses outside the West Gate, and build the dock in Guangzhou into the largest water and land port in the Qing Dynasty. I wonder what everyone thinks?"

The area around Ximen Thirteen Walking is a weakness of Guangzhou City. Yang Meng has also seen the docks near Ximen Thirteen Walking. There are not many areas where large ships can be moored. If it is expanded, the throughput of the dock will increase by more than several times. Moreover, Yang Meng can also take the opportunity to build shore defense fortifications outside Ximen.

"San Master, this matter is very important, so we still need to consider it."

"This is the truth. I have already handed over this matter to Ding Taichen. I guess everyone knows who Ding Taichen is, right? If you have any questions, ask him. Reorganizing the Thirteenth Line and Guangzhou Wharf is a big deal. Everyone, if you want to make a fortune, please look for Ding Taichen!

That’s all, two days later, you will take Yongding to the schoolyard outside the Thirteenth Chamber, and then you will plan the matter of the dock!”

Reorganizing the Thirteen Routes and Guangzhou Wharf is also a big pie that Yang Meng promised to foreigners. With this thing, the situation should be stabilized for a while. With this time, Yang Meng can calmly deploy defenses in the five major commercial ports.

A banquet not only reduced the expenses of all the big players, but also heard a big deal that made a lot of money. The atmosphere of the banquet naturally became more and more harmonious. After getting along with these merchants, big players, 700 to 80% of Guangzhou City, it was in Yang Meng's hands. (To be continued...)
