When everyone took a look, the person who spoke turned out to be Li Yuan, who was sent by Pang Gang to Qianniu Guard Station as deputy Qianhu. Li Yuan was always known for his bravery, and he had made a great decision when Pang Gang raised troops and diligent kings at the beginning of this year. Some merits. Pang Gang saw that he was brave in fighting, so he applied to the imperial court to promote him to the position of Deputy Qianhu. Later, in order to add sand to the two guard stations of Andong Guard and Qianniu Guard, Pang Gang specially sent him to Qianniu Guard. , I didn’t expect that after not seeing him for four or five months, this guy’s temper was still as irritable as ever.
Pang Gang looked at him with an anxious look and glanced at him: "It's a meeting now. Why are you speaking so loudly? I'm afraid others won't hear you!"
When Pang Gang first arrived at Lingshan Guard, Li Yuan was severely punished by Pang Gang for having a bad mouth. After that, the child suffered a psychological shadow. Even now that he has become deputy Qianhu, when he saw Pang Gang rushing When he stares, his heart will become hairy as a conditioned reflex.
Now that Pang Gang glanced at him, he immediately felt a little scared. He touched his head and laughed twice: "Well, I am in a humble position, so I spoke a little louder. Don't blame me." After that, he said, Sitting down happily
Everyone on the side wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh out loud, for fear of offending this guy who was fierce in battle but also had a bad temper. They didn't have the ability to beat him to the ground with three punches and two kicks like the giant man.
"Sir, I still have a question, sir. Please clarify it." Lin Feng, the governor of Qingzhou, also stood up and clasped his fists to ask.
Pang Gang glanced at Lin Feng and said, "Speak!"
"As the saying goes, soldiers and horses must go before food and grass are used. I wonder how many soldiers and horses your Majesty intends to send this time to send troops to North Korea? It is better to raise food and grass even in a humble position."
Pang Gang stretched out his hand and said slowly: "Five thousand, no more than 5,500 soldiers at most! At least 3,000 soldiers must be left to guard Qingzhou, Lingshan Guard and other places, otherwise Qingzhou will be too empty."
Everyone agrees with Pang Gang's opinion. Now the main farms, factories, mines and salt fields are in Lingshanwei. This is the foundation of Pang Gang and everyone. If someone kicks them, they will have no place to cry.
Pang Gang looked at the crowd and said: "It seems that everyone still has different opinions on sending troops to North Korea, right? Some people just think that sending troops to North Korea is purely thankless. This is originally a matter of the imperial court. Why should we join in the fun? Even if we win the battle, It’s a thankless job, and the court won’t reward us. Maybe they’ll issue an edict to blame us. If we lose, it’ll be even worse. We might be dismissed from our jobs. Is this what you guys mean?”
Everyone, look at me and I look at you. They do have different opinions on sending troops to North Korea. However, although some people have objections to this, Pang Gang's prestige among them is too high. Even if they have opinions, they will not Dare to bring it up.
Pang Gang looked at everyone and sighed. It seemed that his subordinates still lacked some strategic vision. So he went on to explain: "According to my opinion, sending troops to North Korea to relieve the siege of North Korea is not just to alleviate the unfavorable situation of our Ming Dynasty. In fact, it is of great benefit to our Qingzhou, please look at the map."
Pang Gang walked to the map hanging behind him and said: "Actually, I have three purposes for sending troops to North Korea. First, to relieve the siege of North Korea and prevent the Tatars from invading the south so unscrupulously. Second, we can use this to When we have a great victory, we take the opportunity to send troops to station in North Korea. As long as we set this precedent, then even if we have established a foothold in North Korea, we can expand our influence to North Korea and Liaodong in the future. Third, we can take the opportunity to exercise our abilities. Division, our Shandong Province is surrounded by water on three sides. If we have a strong navy guarding us, we can advance, attack, retreat or defend. No matter who comes to attack us, we will be in an invincible position. How can we not do such a good thing? Woolen cloth?"
As Pang Gang explained, everyone nodded frequently. Although many of them did not pay enough attention to the sea, it is self-evident that having one more powerful navy would benefit them. And listening to Pang Gang
His tone was already clear about sending troops, so why bother to be such a bad guy? And for soldiers like them, only fighting is the most open way to promotion. Don’t you see, they were originally just a big man from a hundred households.
Did Wang Zhi and the others follow Pang Pang around the capital and fight a few battles before immediately turning over and becoming deputy Qianhu? And as Pang Gang's strength continues to strengthen and his troops continue to increase, it will inevitably happen sooner or later if he doesn't follow in the footsteps of his boss.
To be abandoned by the boss.
Thinking of this, everyone's hearts became excited, and everyone began to unanimously agree to send troops to North Korea.
The meeting went smoothly. After consultation, Pang Gang decided to send out troops with 5,500 troops, including 1,000 cavalry, 2,000 gunners equipped with miniguns, and 1,000 pikemen and spearmen.
One thousand heavy troops, and the remaining 500 were Ye Buzai and Pang Gang's personal soldiers.
The number of troops to be dispatched was easy to determine, but there was a dispute at the meeting when the list of troops was finally selected. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that this dispatch was a good opportunity to make meritorious deeds. It was hard to say whether he would be promoted or not, but he was certain to make a fortune. Pang Gang once served in
The army stipulates that all property acquired when going out to fight will be turned over, but those captured after the war will receive 40% of the silver. Don’t underestimate this 40%. Last time, many low-level officers and sergeants who followed Pang Gang to Beijing to Qinwang relied on
The 40% seized have bought real estate in Qingzhou and even Lingshanwei, married a wife, and been promoted to an official. It can be said that they have been promoted and made a fortune at the same time. I don’t know how many people who stayed behind have envyed them. Now they will never miss this opportunity again.
, so many people started arguing at the meeting.
Seeing that all his subordinates were happy after hearing about the battle, Pang Gang was also very pleased. He didn't care what the soldiers' purpose was for fighting. In his opinion, as long as he could mobilize the enthusiasm of the soldiers to fight, it would be a good thing. Although fighting in the Ming Dynasty
Sometimes I would be bound by military regulations, which would make it difficult to do some things, but when I arrived outside the Ming Dynasty, I had no such worries at all.
"Okay, don't argue anymore. I have already made a decision on who will stay and who will go. Now everyone whose names are mentioned will go to North Korea with me, Da Zhuang, Wang Zhi, Li Yuan, Bin Shiqian, and Meng Qing.
......."
As Pang Gang's name was read one by one, some people in the conference room were happy and some were sad. Some were elated when the name was read, while others were dejected when the name was not read.
After reading the list, Pang Gang said with a smile: "Okay, those who didn't read their names are also discouraged. Those who stayed behind also have merit. When you return from victory, you will also have a share of the rewards. Okay,
The meeting is adjourned now. Remember to start moving as soon as you get back. All military supplies, ammunition, equipment, and food must be prepared. The planned troops must assemble at Wanghai Fort in two days, that is, before August 17.
It’s over, any latecomers will be punished by military law!”
Although Pang Gang said this with a smile, everyone in the conference room agreed in unison: "Yes! I will obey the general's order!"
After the meeting ended, Pang Gang deliberately kept Hua Yan behind.
"Experience Hua, I'll leave Qingzhou's affairs to you after I leave. Our iron ore, tungsten ore, cement plant and refined salt production must not stagnate. If anyone dares to mess up, they will be severely punished. We must not delay Qingzhou and all other
Do you understand the development of the health center?"
"Bizhi understands that I will definitely help you take care of this family and will never let anyone disturb the order of Qingzhou." Hua Yan also knows how heavy the burden is on his shoulders. What Pang Gang said means that he has put all his rear areas in his hands.
What a great deal it is to entrust it to him.
"Well, especially in Dengzhou, the training of recruits in Laizhou must not stop. Once they are trained, they will be immediately transferred to Qingzhou for alert. If there is any order from the court, just say that I am not here, and everything will have to wait for me.
We'll talk about it when the officer comes back. We can use force if necessary! Do you understand?" At this point, Pang Gang stared at Hua Yan, a blazing light shining in his eyes.
"Sir, are you worried..." Hua Yan looked at Pang Gang in surprise, feeling shocked in his heart.
"Yes, you must not have the intention to harm others, and you must have the intention to guard against others. Can you do it?" At this point, Pang Gang looked solemn.
"Don't worry, sir, I will definitely act in accordance with your orders!" At this moment, Hua Yan was so excited that his whole body was shaking. Naturally, he was smart and could not fail to hear the meaning behind Pang Gang's words. Pang Gang's meaning was very clear, that is, if someone
If you want to take advantage of Pang Gang's absence to seize power, then fuck him hard.
After following Pang Gang for so long, he has already seen clearly Pang Gang's ambitions. He has also seen for a long time that Pang Gang is a person with great ambitions. A small Qingzhou will never be able to accommodate him. His stage should be outside.
Wider fields.
And I can only go further by following his footsteps. Perhaps in the near future, my descendants will also be proud of me...
As soon as the meeting ended, everyone mobilized troops and mobilized food and fodder. In short, everyone was mobilized.
Naturally, such a big news could not be hidden from others. In the Qingzhou magistrate's office, Wei Tongnian sighed after hearing the news, "He is finally going to send troops to North Korea. Doesn't he know that this move will be harmful to him but not beneficial at all?"
?"
"Dad, don't think too much! Maybe Da Da Da has his own considerations!" Wei Man Ting on the side still comforted.
"Hmph, no matter whether we win or lose by sending troops to North Korea, the impeachment of the officials in the court will fly like snowflakes to the emperor's case. I don't understand, why does he, a very smart person, not listen to others' advice?"
Wei Manting also fell silent. She was vaguely aware of Pang Gang's ambition because of her sensitive mind, but she did not point it out, and she did not think that Pang Gang had done anything wrong. In Wei Manting's view, the empire was already terminally ill and there was no way to save it.
The only thing that can be done is to break down those rotten pots and jars together and establish a new order. But can Pang Gang complete this mission?
Wei Manting didn't know this. The only thing she could do now was to observe this man silently, watching whether he became stronger step by step or was swallowed by the counterattack wave...
Thanks to the fourth young master of the Feng family for the reward, thank you!
