Namhansanseong is a small city. The furnishings in the small living room are naturally very simple, but the dishes are quite rich. On a small square table, there are steaming rice blood sausages, Korean kimchi, and boiled chicken.
, rice with glutinous rice and fragrant fish sauce soup and other Korean-style meals are all very appetizing. Pang Gang, who has been running around for a day, will not be polite to Li Zhu and his wife. Although his eating habits are not rude, his
The chopsticks never stopped.
Li Zhu and his wife were not surprised, but looked at him with a smile as he kept stuffing things into his mouth. After a long time, Pang Gang stopped with satisfaction, and said a little embarrassedly: "Your Highness, Pang Gang has been hungry all day, let you see
What a joke."
"Hey! What the hell!" Li Zhu waved his hand and said, "You must be hungry after fighting for a whole day. You need to eat more. On the contrary, it would be really embarrassing if we just stood aside and didn't help."
Concubine Xian also said from the side: "Yes, you have been running around on the sea for many days, and you must be exhausted. After dinner, you should go back and rest first."
Pang Gang nodded, and after the three of them chatted some more, Concubine Xian asked casually, "General Pang, is Xuezhu okay at your place?"
Although Concubine Xian's voice sounded very calm, Pang Gang could still see a hint of tension and concern in her beautiful eyes.
"What a pity the hearts of parents in the world!" Pang Gang sighed secretly in his heart, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Concubine Xian.
"Your Highness, Concubine Xian, this letter was given to you by Xuezhu before I left. She asked me to tell you that everything is fine with her, so that you don't have to worry about him."
Concubine Xian took the envelope and saw the familiar font on the letter, and finally couldn't help crying "Wow", "My poor daughter, I miss you so much!"
Looking at Concubine Xian who was crying so hard, Pang Gang couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed. He thought to himself: "Brother, this is too cruel. It is not a gentleman's behavior to separate a mother and daughter."
After holding it in for a long time, Pang just said: "Your Highness, Concubine Xian, you don't have to be so sad. I can still come back to see you often after I drive away Qing Bing Xuezhu. After all, it's only a few days' journey from Qingzhou to here, and we'll be there soon."
of."
Pang Gang originally meant words of comfort, but Concubine Xian's reaction was beyond his expectation. She grabbed Pang Gang's hand and asked eagerly: "Really? Xuezhu can really come to North Korea to see us often."
?"
"Of course, of course it is possible. Anyway, Qingzhou now has its own dock and navy, so it is very convenient to come to North Korea." What else could Pang Gang do? You can't say that I was just saying polite words just now to impress you. If
If he said this, he could be sure that the beautiful mature woman in front of him who looked frail and delicate would definitely fight him to the death.
But there was something embarrassing before him. The beautiful mother-in-law Qianqiansu was holding his big hand tightly, and a refreshing fragrance was entering his nose hard, making him scream in his heart.
Can't stand it.
Fortunately, Concubine Xian had good self-control. She quickly let go of Pang Gang's big hand, wiped the corners of her eyes, and said with red eyes: "I'm sorry, I miss my daughter too much, and the general made a joke."
"Princess, you are so polite. Family ties are natural. Is it too late for Pang Gang to be envious?" At this point, Pang Gang suddenly thought of his mother in later generations, and a feeling of longing came to his heart. The atmosphere in the room suddenly changed.
Silence fell.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Pang Gang took the opportunity to leave after sitting for a while longer, leaving Li and his wife relatively speechless in the small hall.
After a long time, Concubine Xian choked and said to Li Zhu: "Your Highness, after we defeat the Qing troops, can you please ask General Pang to send Xuezhu back to us to live for a while? She has been living in exile for so long, and I really feel..."
.....”
"No!" Although Li Zhu listened to Concubine Xian on many things, he was never ambiguous about this matter. He said decisively: "The water thrown by the married daughter, although Xue Zhu did not
We are officially married to General Pang, but we are still considered to be members of the family. Even if we want our daughter to come back, we have to ask General Pang to take the initiative. How can parents say this?"
"You..." Upon hearing her husband's firm tone, Concubine Xian knew that this was unlikely, and could only cry quietly aside.
While Li Zhu and his wife were relatively speechless, Pang Gang, who had returned to the Qingzhou Army garrison, was assigning tasks to Da Zhuang, Wang Zhi, Li Yuan, Meng Qing and others.
"After dinner, you will be divided into four teams to guard the four city gates and walls respectively. You will take turns taking turns at night. You cannot take it lightly. If the Qing soldiers come here at night, we will not be able to run away."
Looking at Pang Gang's serious expression, everyone knew that the matter was of great importance, and they all nodded solemnly, but Li Yuan asked again: "Sir, do we need the consent of the North Koreans to patrol the city wall? What if?
What should we do if those North Korean soldiers stop us from patrolling?"
Pang Gang shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't worry about this. With the consent of the leader of North Korea, all the soldiers and generals in North Korea are now under my command. If anyone dares to stop you, don't be polite to him or slap him with the sole of your shoe."
.”
"Hehehe..." Everyone laughed.
"Okay, now that you have said this, you can rest assured." Li Yuan rubbed his hands excitedly and said with a smile, "I was originally worried about what would happen if those North Koreans didn't cooperate, but now that my Lord has said this, I feel even more relieved.
You can let it go."
"Well, I support you to go ahead and do it, but you can't make trouble for me. These are extraordinary times, and you can't use chicken feathers as arrows, otherwise it will be up to you to see how I deal with you!" Seeing Li Yuan's complacent look, he looked confused.
I just gave him a vaccination in time.
"Yes!" After hearing his boss's warning, Li Yuan shrank his head and remained silent.
"Of course, if you do well, I can ask the leader of North Korea to give each of you a wife when you go back. What do you think?" He relaxed his civil and military ways, and sounded the alarm for them.
Give them some time to relax.
Sure enough, all men would like to hear Pang Gang's words. After hearing this, everyone burst into laughter. Even Wang Zhi, a usually stern person, showed a smile.
Only Da Zhuang said angrily: "I don't want a humble job. What good are those Korean ladies? If you want a humble job, it's better to find a mother-in-law from Qingzhou."
Li Yuan pinched his chin and said, "You can do it if you want, but these North Korean ladies can only be concubines at best, not wives."
Looking at Li Yuan's serious look, Pang Gang couldn't help laughing and scolding: "Look at your virtues. Now you don't even have a wife, so you only think about being a concubine. You are not afraid that your father will break your legs when you go back."
"My father can't do it. My father has already said that if I can find a concubine to take back, that's my ability, and he won't care about it."
"Hahaha..." Pang Gang was amused by Li Yuan's serious look and burst out laughing...
While Yu Panggang and others were laughing heartily, there was a gloomy atmosphere in Amin's tent outside the city.
Amin was sitting on a tiger-skin chair in the big tent, with all the Qing army generals standing around and not daring to breathe. In front of him were two bloody heads. These were the two Jia La who were responsible for attacking Ximen today.
Zhang Jing's head. The first thing Amin had to do after returning to the camp was to behead the two cowards who had abandoned the west gate.
Although two heads were chopped off, Amin's remaining energy was still not gone.
"Trash, these two cowardly trash, if they had been able to hold on for two more quarters of an hour, those Ming troops would not have been able to escape from the encirclement of my army. But now they have been allowed to run into the city in vain. I will annihilate them all now."
What a price to pay."
Shuotobele advised from the side: "Er Beile, don't be too angry. Since the Ming army has fled into the city, we can just capture the city tomorrow. It's not a big deal."
Amin snorted and said: "What you say is easy. The firearms of this Ming army are extremely sharp. Our army has already suffered casualties of more than 6,000 warriors today. If we carry out a strong attack tomorrow, we don't know how many warriors we will lose."
Take it down, and if the emperor blames it..." Thinking of Huang Taiji's cold eyes, even the irritable A Min could not help but shudder.
Seeing Amin's intention to retreat, Shuotuo tried to persuade him again: "Er Beile, you are too worried. There are no immortals in a war. It is a supreme honor for our Qing warriors to die on the battlefield. You
Why stop them from seeking their own glory?"
Shuo Tuo was indeed good at talking, and he immediately linked the excessive casualties to soldiers seeking glory, but even though he knew he was talking nonsense, Amin still looked much better.
After thinking for a while, Amin said in a deep voice: "No wonder Azig and Abatai fell into his hands. This Pang Gang is indeed quite capable. Although I watched his army today, it was divided into batches.
Entering the city, all the soldiers retreated without disorder. This kind of military discipline is indeed admirable. No wonder it is taken seriously by the emperor and others. In my opinion, we should write a letter to the emperor quickly to report everything about the situation here.
To him, otherwise we can't bear it if something happens."
Although Amin has a rough and cruel temperament, he also has a cunning side. Now that there are thousands of Ming troops in Nanhan Mountain City, the difficulty of attacking him has increased exponentially. If he doesn't report the situation as soon as possible now, what will happen if he doesn't report the situation as soon as possible in the future?
If he suffers a defeat, he will have to take all the blame on himself. This is not his Amin style.
Thinking of doing it, Amin called the scribe who was responsible for the paperwork and wrote everything that happened today exactly, and then sent someone to send it back to Shengjing quickly, but it would probably take ten days and a half to go back and forth.
Right or left, the troops cannot be left idle during this period.
Amin thought for a while and then gave the order, "Shuotuo, you immediately order all the ministries to build siege equipment overnight and continue the siege tomorrow. I predict that Pang Gang came from a long way and he must not be carrying much firearms and ammunition. The rest of us
He will use up his ammunition first. I saw that when he ran out of ammunition, what else could he use to fight with us..."
