After Pang Gang led his troops into the city, the first thing he saw was a middle-aged civil servant with a thin face and a long beard wearing a fourth-grade Yunyan uniform, standing at the gate of the city and looking at him with a smile. There was another person beside him.
A military attache wearing a fifth-grade flying bear uniform with a dark and expressionless face.
Pang Gang bowed his hands to the civil servant in front of him and said: "Pang Gang, the Qianhu Qianhu of Lingshan Guard in Qingzhou Prefecture, has met your Excellency. Please forgive me for not being able to show my courtesy because I am wearing armor!"
The leading official immediately stepped forward and held Pang Gang's hand and said with a smile: "Pang Qianhu doesn't need to be polite. I am Ji Ruxing, the governor of Dezhou. Just now, I was watching Pang Qianhu fighting with the Tatars at the top of the city.
Killing Tatars is like chopping melons and vegetables, it really boosts the morale of our soldiers and civilians in Texas."
Pang Gang looked at the overly excited magistrate and said with a smile: "Master Ji, you are too polite. Since I am an officer and soldier of the Ming Dynasty and am here, how can I stand by and watch when I see the Tatars slaughtering my Han people?
"
"Okay, Pang Qianhu has achieved such great achievements and can take credit without being proud. He is worthy of being a proud man of the Ming Dynasty." As soon as they met, Ji Ruxing put a pair of free high hats on Pang Gang's head.
"Ahem..."
A slight cough came from the side. Pang Gang turned around and saw that it was the thin and dark general next to him. Only then did Ji Ruxing wake up and said with some embarrassment: "Look, I almost forgot."
I have introduced you, this is Mr. Yi Jiangyi, the military garrison of this mansion."
After hearing this, Pang Gang smiled and cupped his hands and said, "It turns out to be Mr. Yi. I'm glad to meet you!"
Since this soldier and horse guard was the same as Pang Gang, they were of the same level, so Pang Gang didn't have so many rules when meeting him, and they just handed him over. Logically speaking, this book is nothing, and Ming Dynasty Ping
The etiquette when meeting high-ranking civil servants is very casual, let alone generals like them, but Yi Shouwei seems to be very ungrateful. His originally dark face did not change much, he just raised his hands and said stiffly: "Fortunately,
Nice to meet you!"
"Well!"
Looking at Yi Jiang's dark and stiff face, Pang Gang couldn't help but feel a little strange. It stands to reason that even if he leads the army, he should show a smile even if he is unhappy in his heart. How can he put on a smile for himself?
The look of great bitterness and deep hatred.
Ji Ruxing, who was on the side, seemed to have read Pang Gang's thoughts, and said with a bitter smile: "Pang Qianhu, don't be surprised, we Master Yi are just like this, and the Bao Gong face we are born with is like this to everyone. You are all military attachés, so in the future you will
How close and close you are! Also, I will be at the government office tonight to welcome Pang Qianhu and wash away the dust, and hope that Pang Qianhu will appreciate you!"
"Oh, that's it!" Pang Gang said with a smile, "Then I will have to drink a few more glasses of wine to Master Yi tonight!"
Although Pang Gang came to Dezhou as a reinforcement, the governor of Dezhou welcomed him so warmly, which was enough for him. He had to carry it, so he did not put on any airs and showed a familiar face.
Under the circumstances, he established a good relationship with the two military and political commanders of the Dezhou government.
Unexpectedly, the first guard said with a straight face: "I'm sorry, I have to inspect the city defense tonight, so I won't accompany you two. You can chat slowly."
"Huh?" The smile on Pang Gang's face suddenly froze when he heard this. What on earth is going on with Mr. Yi? He is so disrespectful.
Not to mention Pang Gang, even Li Yuan, Da Zhuang, Wang Zhi and others behind Pang Gang looked at him angrily when they saw that the guard dared to be so rude to their master, especially Li Yuan who was so impatient.
He pressed his hand onto the handle of the knife.
Ji Ruxing saw something bad and quickly stopped in front of everyone and explained: "Don't get me wrong, it's not that Yi Shou is unreasonable, but that the Tatars often send people to harass the city at night these days. For the safety of the city defense, Yi Shou has already
I haven’t had a good night’s sleep in several days.”
"Oh! That's it!" Pang Gang suddenly realized it and said to Yi Jiang with some embarrassment: "I have misunderstood Mr. Yi, Mr. Yi, please don't blame me!"
"It's easy to talk!" Yi Jiang replied stiffly, still wearing a black face, but from time to time his eyes moved to the thousands of murderous Lingshan Guards sergeants who had been standing by the roadside.
Seeing that Yi Jiang still had that black face, Pang Gang could only smile bitterly. He was born with a black face, and he had no reason to be angry, but it seemed that Yi Jiang was a loyal person.
A good official who fulfills his duties.
That night, the office of the prefect of Dezhou was brightly lit. Ji Ruxing held a banquet in the lobby of the prefect to entertain Pang Gang and other officers from Qingzhou. Except for Yi Jiang, almost all the civil and military officials in Dezhou were present.
Now, everyone is sending compliments to Pang Gang and others, and it also makes Pang Gang see the level of flattery of officials in ancient officialdom. You know clearly that the words of praise and praise sent by these officials, but you just can't hear the disgusting words.
The smell of it is there, and it makes you feel like a spring breeze. This level of flattery also opened Pang Gang's eyes, and he thought in his heart that flattery can still be done like this.
After the banquet started, Ji Ruxing invited singing and dancing, and official prostitutes to add to the fun. In this newly decorated lobby, there were not only opera troupes playing music, but also a few delicate singers singing to the tune of brocade and silver instruments.
Xiaoqu. Sure enough, Zhoucheng is different. How could Pang Gang and others have seen such extravagant style in Lingshan Guard? Looking at the table full of delicacies in front of him, Pang Gang couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Have these officials ever thought about the poor people outside?
living people.
Watching the scantily clad official prostitutes casting their flirtatious glances at them one after another. The eyes of Da Zhuang, Li Yuan and others behind Pang Gang were almost bulging out from looking at them. These were all sultry and coquettish.
The women at the head had a great impact on Da Zhuang and others. After all, they were just young men in their twenties, young and vigorous, and they couldn't stand these teasings.
When Ji Ruxing ordered several official prostitutes to serve Da Zhuang, Li Yuan and others, these young men, who had grown up in Lingshanwei, a remote rural area, and had never experienced such scenes, almost made a fool of themselves on the spot.
Among the people who came from Lingshan Guard, only Pang Gang was normal. After all, it was not like he had never been to pornographic places in the future. He had also seen pole dancing and strip dancing that were a hundred times more exciting than here.
It was not surprising, so he ignored the two official prostitutes sitting next to him, but in Ji Ruxing's eyes, this appearance made the giant man look down on these vulgar fans.
the meaning of.
Seeing that Pang Gang was not interested in these promiscuous official prostitutes, Ji Ruxing made a gesture to the singer who was the foreman next to him. The singer understood and immediately retreated. After a while, she led up a girl wearing a plain yellow petticoat.
, a fair-skinned beauty in her twenties came to Pang Gang and waved to the two official prostitutes who were sitting next to Pang Gang. The two officials saw this and the prostitutes quickly retreated, and then the singer
This twenty-eight-year-old beauty was sent to Pang Gang.
When Pang Gang saw this, he couldn't help looking at the foreman of the singer curiously. The singer said with a smile: "I know that the master looks down on the two former vulgar fans, and I also know that the arrangement just now was very inconsiderate.
Therefore, I have specially arranged for you to have another steward for you, and I hope you will not find it objectionable."
After hearing this, Pang Gang couldn't help but dumbfounded. He was not a saint, so he would not reject women. On normal days, he would not reject the romantic encounters that came to him. But now, the enemy is facing a formidable enemy. Tens of thousands of Qing soldiers are still watching outside the city.
If he is still addicted to women, his death is really not far away.
After seeing Pang Gang's expression, Ji Ruxing, who was sitting next to Pang Gang, thought that Pang Gang was still dissatisfied with the Qinghuan, so he no longer cared about being reserved, leaned over and asked: "Pang Qianhu, what are you doing?"
If you have any dissatisfaction with my arrangements tonight, please feel free to raise them, so that I can fulfill my duty as a landlord."
Seeing Ji Ruxing trying to remain calm but with a look of anxiety in his eyes, how could Pang Gang not understand that all this was arranged by the prefect in front of him? Seeing Ji Ruxing's appearance, Pang Gang couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that
The prefect even resorted to a beauty trap to save his own life.
Pang Gang shook his head and said half-truthfully: "Sir Ji, this official is not being pretentious. The Tatars are still watching outside the city. The enemy is so powerful that I really don't dare to relax for a moment. I can only accept your kindness."
."
"Ah, that's it!" Ji Ruxing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Originally, he thought that Pang Gang was dissatisfied with his arrangements. If he refused to do his best when defending the city or suddenly gave up his job, he would be in trouble.
Thinking of this, Ji Ruxing asked tentatively: "Pang Qianhu, you have done a great job in leading the army to reinforce Dezhou this time. As long as you can defend the Dezhou Mansion, I will report your achievements to the Ministry of War. After a while, Tatar
After you retreated from the army, the imperial court would reward you for your merits and it was natural that you would be promoted to a higher level."
Pang Gang's social life these years was not in vain. As soon as Ji Ruxing's words came out, he understood what Ji Ruxing meant and saw him smile slightly: "Master Ji, please rest assured. I have been ordered to go north to King Qin and wait until the city is defeated."
After the group of Tatars outside, Xiaguan will naturally continue to go north, but Xiaguan does not have much food and grass, so I hope you can help me."
Pang Gang's meaning was very clear. Don't worry, even if I continue to go north, I will only drive away this group of Qing soldiers before I leave. But you have to help me prepare the food, grass and other things I need.
Who is Ji Ruxing? He has been in the officialdom for half his life. Naturally, he understood Pang Gang's words as soon as he heard them. With Pang Gang's assurance, he finally felt relieved, raised his glass and smiled.
: "Pang Qianhu, don't worry. If you send troops according to the imperial court's decree, how can you still starve the soldiers? I will be responsible for the blame."
Pang Gang also laughed, raised his wine glass, and the two of them touched it lightly, and there was a clear "ding-dong" sound...
