Festivals are always short. After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, neither the government nor military households can stay at home. It is time to go to work and work. Pang Gang also urged Wen Renjun and Hua Yan to
Meng Qing and others began his army expansion plan.
Expanding the army is a major event, especially an expansion of 50,000 troops. It is not a trivial matter and cannot be hidden from anyone. These days, the whole of Qingzhou, Laizhou, Dengzhou, Jinan, Gunzhou and other places are discussing the news that the champion is recruiting troops again.
This news is not only good news for the original residents of Shandong, but also a way to survive for those refugees who live in Shandong without food and clothing.
In recent years, Shandong's reputation for being rich has begun to spread to the surrounding state capitals. Every winter solstice, there are always many refugees with no food and clothing flocking to Shandong, and the number is increasing year by year. Just like this year, Shandong cannot accommodate them.
There are 400,000 refugees. The arrival of these refugees not only alleviates the demand for manpower in various industries in Shandong, but also brings many qualified soldiers.
Now in Shandong, everyone knows that it is very rewarding to serve as a soldier under the huge people. First of all, you will get a minimum salary of one or two silver per month. Secondly, being a soldier not only means that you can eat well and wear well.
You can get warm, and you can support a family of three with your salary. The champion will also give each household ten to twenty acres of farmland. Although these fields are unlikely to be fertile farmland, you only need to take care of them carefully for a few years.
, and with diligent irrigation, it will turn into fertile farmland in a few years.
What's more important is that fighting with the champion can lead to captures and silver rewards. Those soldiers who first followed the champion have now built new houses and married wives. Following a general can win battles and get a lot of silver rewards.
Who wouldn't want to?
Therefore, after the Chinese New Year, many refugees came to the recruitment points in their respective state capitals to start signing up. Starting from the 16th day of the first lunar month, people began to come to the registration points to sign up to be soldiers in an endless stream.
Since the conscription was conducted in Qingzhou, Dengzhou, Laizhou, Jinan, Gunzhou and other places respectively, although the conscription was presided over by local governments, Pang Gang also sent military representatives to various places for supervision to prevent local officials from being perfunctory.
.The recruitment process lasted for more than 20 days and was not completed until early February.
However, unlike his subordinates who were extremely tired, Pang Gang spent most of his time accompanying Kong Ruolan, his mother, his son, and his wives and concubines, and his subordinates were very sensible and rarely bothered him, because they all knew that...
As the world becomes more and more chaotic, you can't tell when you will lead your troops to fight again.
In what may be the world's first large house built with cement, there are four blazing charcoal fires burning in the hall of nearly 100 square meters. The blue flames are very beautiful, and Pang Gang's wives and concubines are sitting there.
Playing horse crane in the hall.
This kind of thing with a full deck of 40 cards is the predecessor of Mahjong. In the Ming Dynasty, Ma Diao was very popular among the scholar-bureaucrats. Wu Weiye, a later Qing Dynasty man, thought in his "Suiguan Jilue" that the Ming Dynasty was
Therefore, the main reason why it will die is because of Ma Diao. Of course, this conclusion is biased in Pang Gang's opinion, but it is enough to illustrate the popularity of Ma Diao in the Ming Dynasty.
Since Pang Gang had a large number of wives and concubines, one table could not accommodate everyone. Except for Kong Ruolan, who was in confinement and could not go on stage, everyone was very interested. Even Qiaoer stood behind Ai Manting and made suggestions.
Seeing all the wives and concubines having fun, Pang Gang felt very satisfied. He sat on a reclining chair nearby, lazily drinking tea, and thinking carefully about what he wanted to do after the spring started. He couldn't help but feel calm for a while.
Come down.
"Husband, husband, I'm talking to you!"
At this time, a crisp voice rang in Pang Gang's ears, pulling Pang Gang out of his thoughts. When Pang Gang looked up, he found that Li Xuezhu was looking at him with his little mouth pouted. A piece of jade carving with powder.
Although the baby face is tight, it still makes people feel quite cute because it is as bright as a flower.
Since there was a fire burning in the hall, floor coverings were laid under the floor, and the fire burning in the kitchen ensured that the hall was always steaming, Li Xuezhu and the other girls did not wear much. They were all dressed in a light yellow gauze of fine cloth along the sides of the front and back.
Bai Hangjuan's embroidered skirt is the most fashionable style in the Ming Dynasty nowadays. Li Xuezhu also creatively added a few ribbons on the front of her back and tied them on her chest. Not only did she outline a pair of steep breasts that were very inappropriate for her age, but the ribbons also
From time to time, it swayed with her movements, adding a bit of elegance.
The back behind her was not as long as Jiangnan's, covering her buttocks, but it only reached her waist, making her figure even more slender. Her waist was swaying lightly, and the green ribbon tied to it was looming, hanging
The jingling sound of five or six pieces of jade pendants, large and small, is really pleasing to the ears and eyes.
"Well, this girl is worthy of growing up in the North Korean royal family. She really knows how to dress up."
Pang Gang secretly praised in his heart, but his hands were not idle. He stretched out his hand to pull her over, let her sit on his lap and asked with a smile: "Good Xuezhu, it's your husband's fault, what did you just say?"
.”
"Humph, bad husband, I just said you didn't listen, but now I won't say it anymore." Xuezhu raised her little head, raised her nose slightly, and appeared in front of Pang Gang with a cute look.
Pang Gang lovingly hugged her delicate body and apologized with a smile before coaxing her to laugh again. Xuezhu, who was so happy, soon twisted her delicate body dishonestly on her husband's lap.
The random movement made Pang Gang laugh for a while. He raised his hand upwards, reached into her arms, and grasped a huge and dangerous peak.
"Baby, are you seventeen this year?"
Pang Gang felt the astonishing elasticity as soon as he touched it. He could only hold half of it. The dangerous peak, which was better than Ruolan Shangfeng who was undergoing confinement, was still slightly upturned like before passing through. This kind of elasticity can only appear in
On a young girl in her prime.
"Well, after the Chinese New Year, you will be seventeen years old." Xue Zhu leaned on Pang Gang and panted softly against the man's ear. A pair of white lotus-rooted arms wrapped around Pang Gang's neck.
, looking at her husband affectionately, with gentle waves rippling in her big eyes.
Pang Gang was very uncomfortable with Xue Zhu's twisting body. He was thinking about whether to carry her into the room. At this moment, the door was pushed open and a maid came in and said to Pang Gang
After receiving the blessing, he said: "Your Majesty, I heard that Zan Hua was outside and asked to see you!"
"Well, Wen Renjun, is this guy here?"
Pang Gang was a little surprised, but he still put Xue Zhu down, reached out and patted her plump buttocks gently and said: "You can play with the sisters first, and go do something for your husband."
"Well, I'm going to play first!"
Although Xuezhu was lively and naughty at times, she was very sensible and never disturbed Pang Gang when he was doing his business. After listening to Pang Gang's words, she ran to Chen Yuanyuan who was playing horse-cracking to "make suggestions".
Since the hall was full of maids and women, it was not convenient to receive outsiders. Pang Gang stood up, put the fur coat handed over by the maid on his body, opened the door and walked out.
After leaving the door, Pang Gang saw Wen Renjun standing about ten steps outside the door and looking at him with a smile.
Seeing Wen Renjun, Pang Gang smiled angrily and scolded: "Wen Zanhua, what are you doing to me? Do you have another "Spring Dawn in the Han Palace" to give to me?"
Wen Renjun chuckled, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I only have this heirloom painting in my family. I wanted to give it to you to flatter you, but a few days ago you sent someone to send you five thousand taels of silver. This is just a way for me to make a lot of money, but I am greedy for money."
"What a waste of money. If you knew that this painting would become one of China's top ten national treasures in the future, you would definitely regret it until your intestines turn green." Pang Gang secretly cursed this guy for not knowing what he was doing, but he said angrily: " Aren't you assisting Hua Qian with the recruitment? Why are you free to come to me today?"
Wen Renjun said with a smile: "So that your Excellency can know that I am here to report to you on the orders of Hua Xie that our recruitment has been completed and 50,000 recruits are being trained in Jinan, Qingzhou, Laizhou and other places. Waiting for After the three-month recruitment period, they will be reorganized into the army. Sir, our soldiers and horses are getting stronger and stronger!"
Pang Gang sighed softly: "Yes, the soldiers and horses are getting stronger and stronger, but there are also more and more things happening."
"What's wrong with having too much to do? If you want to achieve great things, you have to be busy. Now is a good time for us to make contributions."
Wen Renjun looked excited. Since joining Pang Gang, he has become more energetic after being busy all day long, as if he has endless energy in his body.
"Haha, I can't explain your talk. Let's talk about everything else together!" Pang Gang shook his head.
"You can't hide anything from your humble position." Wen Renjun said with a smile: "News has come from Hubei. Just after the fifteenth day, the intruders sent their general Liu Zongmin with an army of 50,000 to kill Changde Mansion. Now Changde The government is still in a hurry, and Hunan Governor Tang Hongguang has sent several urgent letters of eight hundred miles to the court, requesting the court to send troops to suppress the bandits."
Pang Gang said calmly: "Well, is there anything else?"
"And...that's..." Wen Renjun hesitated before saying: "According to the report from the prefect of Gunzhou Prefecture, some merchants and refugees appeared near Gunzhou today. The state government spread rumors widely, saying that "King Chuang is a benevolent and righteous teacher who will not kill or plunder"; he also made up nursery rhymes for children to sing in the streets and alleys: "Open the gate to welcome King Chuang, and when King Chuang comes, you will not "Pay food", "Open the door early to pay homage to King Chuang, and everyone will be happy with the discipline." The prefect of Gunzhou has arrested hundreds of people who spread rumors. After being tortured and forced to confess, they confessed that they were all sent by the Chuang bandits with the purpose of disrupting our military morale. People’s hearts, let’s see if there’s any chance of an uprising happening here!”
"Humph..." Pang Gang's face suddenly darkened. Instead of being angry, he smiled and said: "Okay, I haven't caused trouble to them yet. They came to the door first... To be finished Continued)!~!
