Chapter six hundred and eighty eighth clamor

The slogan of revenge was also shouted from the Guangzhou Pier, from the mouths of British merchants and British sailors. Although the call for revenge on the Guangzhou Pier is high, the security of the pier is surprisingly good...

There are fewer and fewer provocations. Behind the severe situation of Guangzhou Wharf, there is a peaceful beginning. Not only is there less fighting, but there are also fewer commercial disputes at Guangzhou Wharf. Yang Butang, who commands Guangzhou to practice bravely and defeats the British, has also become a household name near Guangzhou.

"Yangbutang, the voice of revenge of the British resounded throughout Guangzhou, how should we deal with it?"

In Lixiang Garden, in the courtyard where Yang Meng lives, Ye Mingchen came to visit Yang Meng for the first time. He did not come alone. From Pan Shicheng and below, famous officials from Guangdong and Guangxi gathered in Yang Meng's residence.

"Callback is a manifestation of the timidity of the weak! Just ignore it, but during this period, if someone brazenly provokes, kill them, and fight them when they are beaten! Don't give anyone face!

What you have to worry about in the Guangdong and Guangxi offices is not these trivial matters. Raising military funds and gathering Guangdong and Guangxi soldiers is your top priority at the moment.

It is an indisputable fact that the Green Camp was abolished. In the battle of Humen, the Guangzhou militia led by Wu Yuanyou suffered 70% casualties. If the Green Camp and the Eight Banners were replaced, what would happen?

Please go back and think about this matter carefully. Of course, the pensions of the Guangzhou militia must be paid by the Guangdong and Guangxi authorities. After all, after the renovation of the dock, the customs tax income is not enough to support the pensions of hundreds of thousands of taels.

We have no right to ask about the Eight Banners of Guangdong and Guangxi, General Mukdena. This is your life! The power of the Eight Banners men is still there. It is not what they say, it depends on their skills. In the battle of Humen, we will win, but the British will definitely take revenge. Should the Eight Banners soldiers belonging to Guangzhou have to watch the show in the face of the battle? Or the battlefield between bloody battles and Yuhui? When choosing, I don’t have to say much!

But the training of the Green Camp has learned from the past. There are more than 60,000 green camp soldiers in Guangdong and Guangxi. How can we use it?

There are two thousand people this time, but what if there are twenty thousand next time? What will happen if the 70% of the casualties of the militia are replaced by the Green Camp?

The safety of Guangzhou involves the safety of Guangdong and Guangxi, and the war has begun. Although we try our best to avoid it, we have the final say in whether the war is the final decision. From today on, you all have the power of military power in your hands, be careful.

The soldiers brought out are not available, and they cannot be used during the imperial examination. No matter who you are, no matter what your quality is, you cannot fight when you bring them up. I will kill you. It is wrong that I will not be the minister of Southeast Asia. Otherwise, you should still keep it in mind."

Why did Ye Mingchen and others come here? Isn’t it because they are afraid? Wu Yuanyou reported the war in Humen. Although it was a great victory, the battle was also miserable. Legal bravely died and injured more than 10,000 yuan, and the people and soldiers were killed and injured more than 7,000 yuan. The pension alone costs more than 600,000 taels. This 600,000 taels of silver is unbearable for Guangdong and Guangxi, which is struggling!

If you fight again, you will die again! If you fight again, you will spend more money! Since Yang Laosan cut off the customs income, Ye Mingchen has increased the tax on Guangdong and Guangxi by 50%. Although he won the battle, the public grievances in Guangdong and Guangxi are also very high!

There are also Yang Meng's hands and feet, including the people of the farm and Wuzhuang. Yang Meng was not ruthless in the court's taxation. If this is the case, how could he crush the foundation of the Qing Dynasty's rule?

"Yangbutang, what you said is true and reasonable! But how should we deal with the British now?"

Yang Mengbangbauba spoke a lot, and he said nonsense. Who among the officials here is unclear about these things? Don’t forget that there is an imperial court above the Guangdong and Guangxi government offices!

Yang Laosan's words are good. The Eight Banners' combat power is not good, and the Green Camp's combat power is not good. It is common for these two groups to join, so it is not as good as the militia.

But if you reorganize the Green Camp, you are still working on the small and small troubles. You, Yang Laosan, first, will change the Green Camp in the Two Lakes first. This matter is just as well. The Two Lakes have to deal with the thief, but if you reorganize the Green Camp in the Guangdong and Guangxi, you still have to make an idea. You have made the Green Camp very powerful. If a green camp soldier fights ten Eight Banners soldiers, what should the court think?

Now all this is nonsense. Without the imperial edicts from the court, if you change the green camp without any orders, you will be nowhere to die!

Regarding what Yang Meng said, the only general Mukdena was present, who was worried about what he said. He was indeed under pressure. The bannermen in Jiangning were killed by the hairy thief. In the past two years, the people of Guangdong and Guangxi have become less and less afraid of the forces of the Eight Banners. Yang Laosan said this correctly. He is indeed thinking about the Eight Banners!

As for other officials, they also said these words from the left ear to the right ear, and said the truth. They were more capable than Yang Laosan, and they were still not as good as the emperor's fart when they said these things!

"Correspond? If you don't, you just need to keep sending notes to Baxiali and Baoling. When they come as promised, you will talk to them. If they don't come, you will continue to sending notes. When they talk to them, they will break up and talk about the matter of Humen, but only talk about our sincerity in business. What they say is their business, and what you want to say determines the scale of the war.

In addition, I am dealing with the traitor businessman Coptis Coptis. There is no need to ask the court for this matter. Just follow what I said. If something happens, I will take responsibility!

Coptis chinen opened a family, and together with his relatives, he digs out the ancestral tombs and lights the sky lanterns, so that the officers who took action could take care of it. The sky lanterns were not lit well, and the screams at the scene were not bad, and I would also kill people.

Before this, Ye Mingchen, you are responsible for the announcement of Guangdong and Guangxi. There is only one statement. If you want to be a traitor, you can go back to the 18th generation of ancestors and 18th generation of descendants. No one can live well!

The involvement of the case of Coptis chinensis is divided into several prefectures, prefectures and counties. As long as the people of prefectures and counties can move, they must look at the scene of the sky lanterns. I want to let the people of Guangdong and Guangxi know that those who are traitors are not humans! Insulting their ancestors, they will be the end of their descendants!

Those who commit the same crime of obstructing the Yellow Case! Within half a month, you will do this!"

Yang Laosan’s statement is good, but Yang Laosan’s approach has gone a little too far. Now there are more than 600 people involved in the Huang case. Only a few dozen of them are Huang Liankai’s family members, and the rest are innocent people. How different is this approach to animals?

"Yangbutang, this matter must be reported to the court. There are too many people involved in the case and cannot be convicted of one crime!"

Yang Laosan’s approach is to be done once and for all, but the Guangdong and Guangxi government offices will take the blame for Yang Laosan’s cruelty and ruthlessness, and this matter cannot be done!

"What? Do you Ye Mingchen want to be the first person to obstruct the Huang case? You Ye Mingchen's clan are the ones who just show the court's attitude towards traitors. Are there anyone here who wants to obstruct the Huang case?"

Cruel and ruthless? Maybe it is? But now the Qing Dynasty is full of news. Once England sends more than 100,000 people, just a few traitors can ruin a local war. Wu Yuanyou's militia, Yang Meng, killed more than 3,000 people, and Coptis chinen opened a family. He only resented him. He should not be a traitor. Resented only resents. Their relatives and friends were born in the wrong time!

Now it is time to make rules. In addition to posting notices in Guangdong and Guangxi, the other four major commercial ports also need to post notices. During the war, Yang Meng will spare no effort to attack traitors and kill tens of thousands of people unjustly. If the word traitor can be wiped out, it is worth it!

"Ye obeys the order, why should the tribe hold such a big hat? Within half a month, Ye will give the tribe an explanation to the matter of Coptis chinensis!"

Yang Laosan is the imperial envoy, and this is the power of the imperial envoy! Although Ye Mingchen was helpless in this, he had to choose to deal with the matter of Huang Liankai in the way Yang Laosan. Ye Mingchen also hated Huang Liankai to the core. Without this guy hooking up with foreigners, he would not be so embarrassed in Guangdong and Guangxi.

"That's good! Tomorrow, please send a note to Baoling from Hong Kong Island! This Baoling is afraid of me. I am afraid that he will not dare to respond to my notes. Ye Zhongtang talks about Baoling's words. If this Baoling is so loud, we must be careful!"

After dispersing Ye Mingchen and others, Yang Meng was also estimating the future battle situation. The location of the attack in England is easy to guess. The five major commercial ports and Tianjin are the main attack directions of England. In addition, with the information of England in China, it is very difficult to land elsewhere!

The risks of Shanghai Road and Tianjinkou are the greatest. Once the British or the British-French coalition forces are frustrated in Guangzhou, the second stop should be Shanghai Road close to the Yangtze River. If the Shanghai Road is not in good condition, the best choice is Tianjinkou.

The five major commercial ports and Tianjing, the best choice for England is Tianjing. Once the capital is threatened, the Qing court will be a soft man, and it is best that the court can have a ally under the city, which is more unwilling to the people than the heavy taxes.

Yang Meng's fingers slowly extended to the other four major commercial ports, while Baoling and Baxiali found the weakness of the Qing Dynasty from Ye Mingchen's efforts to refute the rumors.

It was Ameshit's words. Behind the power of the Qing Dynasty, the mud-footed giant, was very weak! Although a fleet was annihilated, Ye Mingchen's attitude made the two feel that they had seized a rare opportunity.

Yang Butang, who led the Battle of Humen, was not only a diplomat, but also a crazy military strategist. He wiped out three warships and an advance army composed of two thousand Marines. This was undoubtedly extremely crazy for the two. This was about to go to a full-scale war with England!

At the beginning of the Battle of Humen, Yang Butang might have been sure of winning, but why did he wipe out the British army? The purpose is probably to trigger a larger war between the two countries?

Yang Butang is the pro-war faction, and Ye Mingchen is undoubtedly a weak peace seeker. If he could threaten the large-scale war and force the Qing government to revise the contract according to the English-Geely's intention, the losses of more than 2,000 people and three warships would be completely acceptable.

The diplomatic notes sent by Ye Mingchen a few days ago were not afraid to deal with them. Now that they have a strategy, setting off to Guangzhou Port has become something they must do.

"Mr. Ye, we must take revenge and revenge your Qing Dynasty. More than 2,000 imperial soldiers will not die in vain. The larger-scale war is waiting for Guangzhou!"

Bao Ling roared and roared out the depression in his heart. He has been under great pressure these days. Once the responsibility for fighting without declaration is attributed to him, he will face hanging or a long life in prison after returning.

"Governor Baoling, where does this come from? Haven't the relationship between our two countries always been very harmonious? War? Why do we need war?"

In order to deal with Bao Ling, Ye Mingchen also showed off his skills and took the translator arranged by Yang Laosan. Facing Bao Ling who was roaring hard, Ye Mingchen's face was light and light.

"It's ridiculous that your Qing army killed more than two thousand emperors in Humen. Isn't this a fact?"

The relationship is harmonious? Baoling has never had this idea. Looking at Ye Mingchen with a relaxed look, Baoling also felt a deep inappropriateness.

"How did you say this when you killed your soldiers? I don't know!"

"Our army, after landing on the Humen Fort, was hit by the defenders in a full blow, and this matter cannot be concealed!"

"Log on the Humen Fort? Governor Baoling, this is against the contract! Such a thing is absolutely impossible! You must not act! Humen is the place where my Qing soldiers are brave enough to defend themselves. You can't log in easily!"

What Bao Ling said? Ye Mingchen only listened to a rough idea. He came completely according to Yang Laosan's instructions and pretended to be crazy and stupid. Ye Mingchen was very familiar with this matter when he was an official. He was just a matter of talking to this foreigner whose mind was disturbed by anger.

Looking at Bao Ling who was furious, Ye Mingchen felt an inexplicable comfort in his heart. This is the scene and majesty that the officials of the court should have. (To be continued...)
