After deciding on the general direction, the remaining matters are left to the people below to handle.
As the saying goes, before the soldiers and horses have food and fodder, mobilizing food and fodder, assembling soldiers, and preparing supplies are a troublesome job. Calculated based on normal people's food intake, each person eats one liter per day, and the horse eats three liters per day. In this way, more than 10,000 sergeants,
The food needed for a day is about 80 shi, and the war horses and mules need about 220 shi. The men and horses combined need 300 shi of food and grass for a day, and 9,000 shi of food and grass for a month, plus gunpowder, cannonballs and other supplies.
, the amount of supplies to bring is staggering.
There are about 500 carriages in a supply camp under Pang Gang, which can only transport about 3,000 shi of grain and grass at a time, which is only needed by the army for ten days. This is just food. Therefore, Pang Gang dispatched a total of two supply camps this time.
, one thousand and one carts came to transport food and ammunition.
In the past few days, when I saw Pang Gang and others busy mobilizing supplies, not to mention Li Xianfeng, even Lu Weiqi, who had been the Minister of the Ministry of War, couldn't help but take a breath. These Qingzhou soldiers had prepared too many things.
Right? Forget about food and grass, they even prepared so many pellets and gunpowder. However, they also heard that the Qingzhou Army itself was famous for its sophisticated firearms. Even the arrogant Tatars were deflated by their firearms, so the gunpowder
It is also appropriate to have more projectiles.
As night fell, lights came on in a room in the front yard of General Dingguo's Mansion. Lu Weiqi and Li Xianfeng were sitting opposite each other. The dim light reflected Lu Weiqi's thin figure in green and red.
Lu Weiqi stroked his beard and asked calmly: "Qingyang, you have been in Qingzhou for a few days, what do you think of Pang Gang?"
Li Xianfeng sighed and said: "Mr. Jie Ru, to be honest, Xiaguan has been to Qingzhou before. I can't say it's bad, but I can't say it's good either. But the current situation is far beyond Xiaguan's expectation. Pang Gang
After running Qingzhou for only one year, Qingzhou has undergone such drastic changes, which is really beyond the official's expectation.
You see, on the streets of Qingzhou today, there are not as many people coming and going as there are in Jinan and Luoyang. Moreover, Xiaguan also heard that Dengzhou, Laizhou and other places are beginning to become prosperous, and there are actually many Yi people on the streets.
It’s unbelievable to be walking!”
Lu Weiqi said solemnly: "Also, have you noticed that the streets in Qingzhou are extremely clean and smooth, and the ground is smooth and flat. I heard that they are made of a kind of cement produced in Qingzhou. It seems that this Pang Gang
He is a great talent! It’s a pity that he is just a warrior, and he is also hated by the emperor. Otherwise, I can be sure that those who will join the cabinet to worship the prime minister in the future will definitely have his name."
Li Xianfeng nodded, "What Mr. Jie Ru said is right. Pang Gang is talented, but he is too unruly and unruly and is not liked by the emperor. I may not be able to escape Yuan Chonghuan's fate in the future."
Lu Weiqi snorted coldly, "This man is indeed a bit arrogant and domineering. I heard that he personally led people to hunt down Gao Qiqian. Not only did he kill Gao Qiqian, he actually sent people to kill Gao Qiqian's head and Lu Xiangsheng."
His body was delivered to the capital in person, which shows how rampant he was. Based on this, it is not an exaggeration for the emperor to kill his entire family!"
Lu Weiqi was a great scholar in the late Ming Dynasty and a staunch supporter of the staunch old Zhu family. He had never had a good impression of a bold general like Pang Gang. Although he was forced to pull his old face and come to Qingzhou with Li Xianfeng to ask for help, he still
It cannot change Pang Gang's status in his mind.
While Lu Weiqi and his two men were commenting on Pang Gang in the room, various military officers and generals from Qingzhou also gathered in the conference room at the other end of General Dingguo's Mansion. The one sitting at the head was Pang Gang.
I saw Pang Gang looking around at everyone with sharp eyes, and then slowly said: "Everyone, we are sending troops again. This time we don't have an official document from the Ministry of War, nor an imperial edict from the emperor. We are going to Luoyang to help others defend the city.
If you have any ideas, you can tell us here!"
Everyone knows that Pang Gang has a characteristic, that is, he will let people speak freely during meetings, and he will not blame him even if he is wrong. Therefore, the atmosphere of the Qingzhou Army is still very relaxed during the meeting, and everyone has nothing to worry about.
What to say.
Li Yuan was the first to stand up, "Sir, I have nothing to say, you just need to take me there."
"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed. For Li Yuan, a war madman, as long as there is a war, he doesn't care about anything else.
Pang Gang also laughed, but shook his head and said, "That's not possible. I can't take your third battalion with me this time."
"Why!" Li Yuan was anxious, "Did our third battalion not fight well last time?"
"No reason!" Pang Gang said with a straight face: "This time, the third battalion and the first battalion stayed to look after the family. The fourth battalion guarded Jinan. I took the second battalion, the fifth battalion and the second artillery battalion. It was also their turn.
They are loosened up."
"Why!" Pang Gang said this, and even Da Zhuang became anxious. He quickly stood up and said: "Sir, you can get a bowl of water evenly. Last time I followed you to fight the Tatars, but I couldn't.
Damn it, but the Tatars are also hard-nosed, and the bandits who are fighting this time are fat, so why don’t we have a share!"
"That's right!" Li Yuan was also cheering from the side.
"Shut up!" Pang Gang scolded him with a straight face.
"Soldiers in an iron-clad camp are all brothers who share the same pot. Naturally, everyone has a share in fighting. How can we be picky about this kind of thing! Do you think those rogue bandits are soft persimmons? Soft persimmons
Can you control Shaanxi, Henan, and Hubei provinces for seven or eight years? Stupid!"
Seeing Pang Gang getting angry, Da Zhuang and Li Yuan both bowed their heads and dared not say a word.
Finally, Pang Gang's expression slowly softened, and he lowered his voice and said: "You must know that once our army goes out, the defense of Qingzhou, Laizhou, Dengzhou and Gunzhou will be placed on your shoulders. Your burden is comparable to ours.
It’s even more important. It doesn’t matter if we are defeated at the front. No matter what happens, we can retreat to Shandong. But if something happens to Shandong, we will have no place to retreat. Do you understand?”
"Yes, I will understand!" Da Zhuang and Li Yuan stood up and answered loudly. Although one of Da Zhuang and Li Yuan was naive and the other was reckless, neither of them was stupid. They could tell that Pang Gang was determined.
If you want them to look after the house, it would be foolish to argue with the adults again.
Pang Gang nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, that's good, Hua experience!"
"I'm here!" Hua Yan quickly stood up.
"Are all the food, grass and baggage ready?"
"Your Majesty, all the food, grass and baggage are ready and ready to go at any time!"
"Okay, pass on the order, and the whole army will set off immediately after dawn tomorrow!"
"yes!"
A burst of neat answers echoed in the conference room...
