Seeing Pang Gang coming over, the two of them quickly shut their mouths. After all, no officer would like a subordinate who gossips about the officer behind his back.
Pang Gang walked over slowly and looked at Qi Wuming, Bin Shiqian and other seven or eight hundred households wearing helmets and armor standing on the parade platform with strange expressions as they watched Da Zhuang running around the school grounds with thousands of recruits. All of them had foul faces, and they couldn't help but think in their hearts. Could it be that these hundreds of households in Lingshan Guard are resistant to military training?
Pang Gang strode onto the military parade platform, and hundreds of households came forward to greet him.
"I've met Senhu-sama in humble positions!"
"Excuse me, why don't you all stand here and watch instead of going down to practice with the soldiers? Do you have any different opinions on my military training method?"
Although Pang Gang said the words with a smile, the dissatisfaction in his tone was clear.
"I don't dare to hold such a humble position!" The hundreds of households couldn't help but be surprised. It seemed that Pang Qianhu was a little dissatisfied with people like them.
"Don't you dare? I think it's not that you don't dare, but you are very brave." Pang Gang felt a little unhappy when he looked at these hundreds of households who had just stood on the military parade platform with their chests and belly protruding like a great gentleman. Now these hundreds of households are obviously not of the same mind as him. Even Qi Wuming and Bin Shiqian have a close relationship with him, but they have not officially expressed their intention to surrender to him. Seeing this situation, Pang Gang couldn't help but think of the famous person in later generations. Chairman Chiang's employment principle of "loyalty first, ability second". When I read this history, I was still laughing at the Chairman's nepotism. He would only reuse a group of generals who were like wimps. No wonder he was beaten by the little devil. It's a waste of time. But now it's my turn to be the leader and I understand that "employ people on their merits" is easy to say, but it's too difficult to do. There are indeed many talented people in the world, but who in power would How about handing over military power and key departments to someone who you can't trust? Just like me now, would I dare to hand over thousands of life-saving soldiers and horses to someone who is not a confidant? If the person he uses is inhumane, what will happen to him? If they turned their guns around and fired back, they might not even have time to cry.
There were obviously seven or eight hundreds of people standing in front of him, but until now, no one had pledged their allegiance to him. When he thought of this, Pang Gang felt a little panicked. Looking at the slightly changed faces of everyone, Pang Gang suppressed the irritability in his heart and walked away. He went to the crowd and asked calmly: "Why don't you come down and train with the soldiers?"
After all the hundreds of households looked at each other for a few times, Qi Wuming stood up and said, relying on his friendship with Pang Gang: "Sir, please forgive me for being stupid. I know that you are proficient in military training, but I really can't see that Wang Baihu and others can't see it. (Da Zhuang) What's the use of taking these soldiers running around the school grounds and lining up? Moreover, our army has always been doing exercises every seven days. Even the soldiers are doing exercises every three days. But the adults are doing exercises every day. For low-level positions, it is I'm afraid that the soldiers will complain and the morale of the army will be unstable."
Pang Gang's face darkened and he asked: "Qi Baihu, I don't care how others perform exercises, but as long as I serve as Lingshan Guard Qianhu, I must perform exercises here every day, rain or shine, otherwise how can I practice?" An elite army! Everyone loves glory and wealth. Literary men are promoted by reading and writing. We generals have to fight and make a fortune with guns. How can you sit here like a big boss and share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers? How can you make the soldiers happy? Dear, is this how you become an official when you receive support from the people?"
Pang Gang's words were not only rude, but also heartbreaking. Qi Wuming, who was standing in front, and the hundreds of households behind him all lowered their heads and did not dare to say a word. Pang Gang's words did not save them any face.
Make their faces feel hot.
Pang Gang looked at everyone's lowered heads and softened his tone before explaining: "Don't underestimate this running. It can exercise the soldiers' physical strength and endurance, which is very important in future battles.
The formation training of the soldiers is not only for the sake of appearance, but also can invisibly instill the habit of ordering and prohibiting into the minds of the soldiers."
"yes!"
When everyone heard this, regardless of whether they could understand it or not, for fear that Pang Gang would get angry again, they nodded their heads like chickens pecking at rice, but their eyes still showed confusion, making Pang Gang angry and funny. He said it himself
If they had not experienced these things personally, they would not believe what they said. Thinking of this, he waved his hands helplessly and said impatiently: "Okay, if you want to train here, just follow the soldiers to train.
If you don’t want to train, I won’t force you to stay, you can go back and do whatever you want.”
As soon as Pang Gang said this, several hundred households immediately bowed their hands to Pang Gang and apologized, then got off the parade platform. In their opinion, who wouldn't want to be at home in this freezing cold weather?
Cozy by the fire and drink a cup of wine, that is the life they, adults from a hundred households, should live. If the hard training here is not counted, and they have to train with the new recruits, then spread the word to them
Where is your old face facing?
Looking at the four or five hundred households walking down the parade platform, Pang Gang's sharp eyes shot at the remaining three or four people, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Is there anyone else who wants to leave? If you don't leave, I will treat you as
I promised to practice with the new recruits, and if anyone withdraws without authorization, I will treat him as a deserter."
"deserter!"
Pang Gang's words shocked everyone. According to the military regulations of the Ming Dynasty, if a deserter is caught, he will be beheaded with twenty army sticks or beheaded at worst. Is it necessary to be so cruel?
"Man Pang Da, who is a low-ranking official, is unwell and is not suitable for military training. Please go home and rest." Two more of the remaining four hundred households were frightened and retreated.
"Damn it, can you be more scary?" Seeing Pang Gang's solemn expression, the quick-thinking Bin Shiqian cursed in his heart, but now he could vaguely guess Pang Gang's thoughts. Now
Pang Gang had just come to power, and it was not easy to force the original Baihu to give up their military power, so Pang Gang used this method to induce the unsteady Baihu to voluntarily withdraw from the recruit training, so that Pang Gang had the opportunity to hand over the military power to his own people.
"And what about you?" Bin Shiqian could see clearly from the sidelines that this Pang Baihu would start to use iron fist to manage Lingshan Guards. Anyone who stood in his way would be kicked away or transferred to a certain place.
A man who has some spare time to provide for his retirement.
His mind was spinning like lightning. Bin Shiqian knew that Pang Qianhu was forcing people like him to take sides. If he didn't immediately declare his allegiance to this young Qianhu, his career in Lingshan Guard would probably be like this.
In the end, although there were rumors outside that Pang Qianhu had offended all the wealthy gentry in Qingzhou City, and that this position would not last long, he had seen the ruthless tactics of this young Qianhu and did not believe that Pang Gang would fall down like this.
It’s time for me to take a risk for my own future.
Bin Shiqian quickly made the most important decision in his life. He knelt down on one knee and said in a deep voice to Pang Gang: "Your Majesty, I will not give up. I am willing to work hard for you and follow you to make contributions!"
Pang Gang looked at Bin Shiqian's eyes and said, "Bin Baihu, have you really decided? You know training with new recruits is very hard."
Bin Shiqian gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, Beizhi knows, but Beizhi is still willing to give it a try."
A trace of satisfaction flashed in Pang Gang's eyes, he nodded and said, "Okay, Bin Baihu, please get up."
"Thank you, Sir!" Bin Shiqian cupped his hands and stood up. His eyes couldn't help but drift to Qi Wuming beside him, as if to say, Lao Qi, it's your turn now.
Although Qi Wuming looks rough, he is also a rough man with finesse. After seeing the scene in front of him, he did not hesitate to kneel down and salute Pang Gang and said loudly: "Qi Wuming has met Mr. Qianhu. Lao Qi is also willing to follow Lao Bin and train with the new recruits."
Pang Gang was overjoyed. If nothing else happened, he would have two more capable subordinates. Bin Shiqian and Qi Wuming were both careful and brave, so they were rare generals for him.
Seeing that these two people finally expressed their loyalty to him, Pang Gang felt reassured, and his words also had a hint of cordiality: "You two, please don't say that. When Pang first arrived at the Lingshan Guardhouse, it was because of the help of the two of them. I haven’t dared or forgotten it so far, but now that I have been helped by two people, Pang Gang is overjoyed."
Speaking of this, Pang Gang pondered for a while and then said: "But since the rules have been established, they still have to be followed. So let's go to the trouble of you two and train with the recruits for three months. When the recruits are trained, I will Then redistribute the duties of the two of them."
Qi Wuming and Ben Shiqian looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes. At the same time, they cupped their hands and said, "It all depends on your arrangement!"
After seeing the two people agreeing, Pang Gang put back the smile on his face and said solemnly: "In that case, let's join the queue!"
"yes!"
As soon as Ben Shiqian and Qi Wuming handed over to Pang Gang, they immediately ran towards the team that was running circles around the school field and joined the ranks at the back.
Looking at Ben Shiqian and Qi Wuming running behind the team, Pang Gang couldn't help but smile bitterly. Unexpectedly, only two of the nine hundred households in Lingshan Guard were willing to serve him, and the rest would rather go home and eat free food than submit to the army. I am loyal to myself, is my bastard spirit really that bad? Or do those old fritters not think highly of me?
Pang Gang raised his head and looked at the sky. Dark clouds hung low in the sky. The sunlight became dim after passing through the clouds, as if foreshadowing the coming snowstorm and the violent wind that was coming to those Qingzhou gentry. Revenge like rain.
"Come on, let's each use our own methods to see if you unscrupulous businessmen are more powerful because of their connections or because of my military power!" Pang Gang clenched his fists and encouraged himself secretly... ...
