The celebration banquet was held in the small side hall of the prefect's Yamen's inner house, which surprised Pang Gang. In ancient times, most of the people living in the inner houses of wealthy families were female relatives. The guests who could allow the host to host a banquet in the inner courtyard were either relatives.
Either it was due to their high status, and Pang Gang and others were not related to either of these two things, which made Pang Gang feel a little surprised.
Although he saved Wei Tongnian's concubine, he was able to introduce himself to Song Xinghe and work hard to push himself to the position of Baihu. It can be said that he has returned his favor, so why did he treat him so hospitably?
What's going on? Pang Gang has been thinking about this question for a long time and still can't figure it out.
At this time, Pang Gang, who was sitting at the banquet, was no longer the ordinary soldier wearing a rough mandarin duck battle coat. He had already changed into the official uniform of a blue flying bear general, wearing a black gauze hat, a regimental collar shirt, and a belt around his waist.
, wearing thick white-soled boots, the attire of a Ming Dynasty official. As soon as Pang Gang put on this official uniform, he knew that this outfit had clearly told others that the owner of this outfit was a high-ranking official in the Ming Dynasty.
The military attachés were usually those officials who were just peddlers and lackeys or ordinary people who would kneel down and call themselves "sir" when they saw him. At this moment, Pang Gang couldn't help but feel a high-spirited feeling in his heart.
It turns out that the feeling of holding power is so good. No wonder so many talented people have joined this class one after another since ancient times. If you don’t know, even a toilet cleaning position in a government department can make so many masters
, why are doctors rushing to sign up? It’s not because they know that as long as they join this class, it means that they are already a member of the ruling class.
At this time, the only people at the wine table where Pang Gang was sitting were Wei Tongnian, Song Xinghe, Pang Gang and two accompanying Qianhu, a total of five people, Da Zhuang Gou Sheng and more than ten people. Because their official positions were too small, they were not qualified to compete with the prefect and the others.
The commander can only open another table to the side to drink at the same table. This also fully reflects the clear and insurmountable characteristics of the officialdom.
When everyone sat down, there were high-ranking officials like Song Xinghe and Wei Tongnian present. Everyone was a little cautious. Not to mention Da Zhuang, a rough man who didn't dare to wolf down his food as usual. Even Li Yuan, a young man with a somewhat irritable temper, was always there to be careful.
During the dinner, Song Xinghe occasionally praised him, and the young man's face was full of flattery and joy.
After three rounds of wine and five delicious dishes, Song Xinghe slowly asked about the government affairs of Lingshan Guards Station. Specifically speaking, it was the cultivation of fields and grain for each fort.
Song Xinghe put down his wine glass, looked at Pang Gang and asked kindly: "Pang Baihu, you are now a Lingshan Guard Baihu. Logically speaking, you have to be a soldier, or you have to be in charge of a fort and take on the responsibility of farming.
, what do you think?"
When Song Xinghe asked, everyone at the table stopped using their chopsticks and looked at Pang Gang.
There are very few opportunities for garrison troops like the Wei Station to go out to fight. In addition to strictly guarding the beacon and protecting the residents, their biggest function is to manage and collect grain for the Wei Station within the territory. This is why Zhu Yuanzhang decided to
The foundation of the garrison system is, unfortunately, the garrison system has completely collapsed. The garrison fields have become the private property of the officers. Not only do the more than two million garrison troops in the country fail to pay their rations to the court every year,
, but continued to reach out to the court, which was also one of the important reasons for the financial collapse in the late Ming Dynasty.
As for Lingshan Guard, he also has jurisdiction over three subordinate forts, namely Wanghai Fort, Qiuhong Fort, and Qianri Fort. I believe that each fort should have 120 military households, but
The actual effectiveness of these three forts as farming has long been lost. Military households have fled very seriously, and many lands have been abandoned for a long time. Song Xinghe naturally knows this. He is just asking Pang Gang to test the newly appointed Baidu.
Just a household.
The atmosphere in the banquet was somewhat silent for a while. Only Wei Tong, who was not related to his age, looked at the generals at this table with a smile.
Pang Gang thought for a while, then raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Commander, I am humble and incompetent in my position. I would like to ask you to be in charge of a fort in the field, so that I can share your worries and the imperial court's worries!"
"kindness!"
After hearing this, everyone looked at Pang Gang with strange eyes. The officer in charge of the field in the garrison has always done a thankless job. If you have planted the food well, it is your duty.
You will be punished, so no one has ever been willing to do farming work. Now that Pang Gang proposed that he would be responsible for farming, everyone couldn't help but feel strange.
Song Xinghe asked with some surprise: "Oh, Pang Baihu, why do you want to take up the post of farming? You must know that this is a hard job, and others can't avoid it."
There was silence in the side hall at this moment. Facing everyone's gaze, Pang Gang could not help but shed a thin layer of cold sweat on his back. He naturally had his own reasons for taking the initiative to take charge of the farmland of Yibao. Since he made up his mind to
After fighting in the Ming Dynasty, he made a rough plan, and the first prerequisite for this plan was to have a base of his own, which meant that he had to have a place that could provide him with food, supplies and troops.
In later generations, Pang Gang also read some time-travel novels. The protagonists in the novels, without exception, killed the guards or local officials as soon as they time-traveled, raised the flagpole, and began to imitate the agrarian revolution of later generations and launch military household divisions.
At that time, our Comrade Pang Gang was really excited when he saw the Tiandi Rebellion. But when he came to this era in person, he realized how stupid the person who wrote such idiotic articles was. He simply made all the officials of the Ming Dynasty
Are they all considered fools to rebel? If the rebellion was so easy, the Ming Dynasty would have been destroyed countless times. Even people like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong just took advantage of the fact that the Ming Dynasty put all its energy on the Liaodong front and was unable to do so.
Taking care of the rogue bandits in the hinterland, we worked hard for more than ten years before they took the opportunity to develop and grow, and finally reached the capital and destroyed the Ming Dynasty.
Although in later generations, many "brothers and beasts" scolded Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, saying that he was mean, ungrateful, impatient, suspicious, had no sense of people and other shortcomings, and ruined the good Ming Dynasty, but Pang Pang
Gang had a different view. He believed that no matter how incompetent Chongzhen was, when bandits like Li Zicheng were most raging and rampant, and even bandits besieged the capital, he never made any move to resist the Manchus.
After the Qing invasion and the Ming Dynasty's most elite border troops stationed at Shanhaiguan, hundreds of thousands of them were transferred back. They did not even think about escaping to Jinling to live out their lives, but chose to hang themselves on Meishan. He realized that the emperors of the Ming Dynasty "the emperor defends the country."
, the oath that the king will die for the country. This alone is ten times stronger than those "monsters" in later generations who only care about money.
On the other hand, what about Li Zicheng, the leader of the peasant uprising army who was praised by some "elites" in later generations? What did they do? History tells us that those so-called peasant uprising armies robbed people wantonly after entering Beijing.
Money, the upper class only cares about enclosing land to make money and playing with women. So when Li Zicheng ordered to go to Shanhaiguan to fight the decisive battle with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, those righteous "peasant rebels" actually brought the snatched women to the front line to meet the enemy, which made
The original four-day journey took them eight days to arrive. The most ridiculous thing in the world was this. Later, they were killed by Li Zicheng and the Manchus and ruined the last force in China that had the strength to compete.
Armed force. It can be said that these bandits represented by Li Zichen destroyed the last trace of vitality of the entire Chinese nation. So much so that some people in later generations lamented that "there will be no China after the Yashan Mountain, and there will be no China after the Ming Dynasty."
Now that Pang Gang heard Song Xinghe's question, he planned how to answer. He couldn't say: Oh, boss, I am asking for farming now to create a base for myself. When the world is in chaos in a few years, I will be able to stand on my own.
Just go it alone.
Fortunately, Pang Gang suddenly thought of what Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, once said. After thinking about it for a while, Pang Gang slowly said this...
