Chapter Ninety-One: Departure Soon

This time, Hao Yongzhong and Huang Wenyuan came to find Pang Yue, mainly because of Hao Yongzhong's idea. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

As early as on the way to Ganzhou, Hao Yongzhong was full of praise for the fine bird guns used by Shi Lang's soldiers, believing that this kind of firearm has a long range and is not easy to explode, which is really a good thing. Later, when he learned that this bird gun was produced by the Ordnance Bureau of Ganzhou Town, and the maximum monthly output could reach hundreds, he was almost dumbfounded.

Hao Yongzhong's surprised expression made Shi Lang, who had always been serious, want to laugh. At that time, in order to prepare for the upcoming battle, Pang Yue left all the flintlock pistols for the soldiers of Ganzhou Town in the city, and only equipped the escort army led by Shi Lang with bird guns. If Hao Yongzhong saw a flintlock pistol without an arquebus, he didn't know how big his mouth would be.

In addition, when he learned that the cotton armor and helmets on the soldiers in Ganzhou Town were also independently produced by the Ordnance Bureau, Hao Yongzhong's mood could not be calm for a long time.

Ordnance Bureau, what a great place! Shocked, Hao Yongzhong did not hesitate to come to this conclusion.

After arriving in Ganzhou yesterday and receiving the holy decree, Hao Yongzhong's heart was even more ecstatic, he will serve as the commander of the general army of southern Gannan and the commander of the Jiangxi Metropolitan Division, and lead the army to garrison Ganzhou.

Hao Yongzhong, who was very excited, didn't bother to eat dinner and went to the Ordnance Bureau to take a look, although those core workshops such as flintlock pistols, artillery workshops, etc. were garrisoned by Pang Yue, and he couldn't get in, but the streamlined production in those cold weapons and armor workshops on the periphery still opened his eyes.

Seeing the hot production scene in front of him, Hao Yongzhong seemed to see the scene when all his troops were dressed in fine armor and equipped with fine weapons, and after returning to his residence, he was still excited and couldn't help himself, and his appetite was also great, and he killed several bowls of white rice in a row without knowing it.

However, when he lay down on the bed, Hao Yongzhong felt a little uneasy: that the Ordnance Bureau and the Iron Factory were run by Pang Yue, and he would give them to himself so easily? Even if he is humble, in such a matter of self-interest, he may not be so generous, right?

The more Hao Yongzhong thought about it, the more bottomless he felt in his heart, and he even had a feeling that the cooked duck in his mouth flew away. After thinking about it, Hao Yongzhong still decided to go to Pang Yue the next day to have a good talk, even if Pang Yue wanted to take away some of the craftsmen and the weapons in stock, he also admitted it, after all, the Ordnance Bureau and the iron factory were run by others.

After paying attention, Hao Yongzhong came to the door this morning on the grounds of seeking governance experience, and in order not to appear too abrupt, he also called Huang Wenyuan.

After Hao Yongzhong made a knock on the side to indicate his intention, Pang Yue was not surprised, all this was expected by him. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he also proposed his plan to Hao Yongzhong: to take away some of the craftsmen and weapons in stock, and most of the remaining will remain in Ganzhou City to be managed by Hao Yongzhong, but the reward system previously implemented by the Ordnance Bureau and the Iron Factory should be roughly continued.

Hao Yongzhong didn't have any opinion about Pang Yue taking away some craftsmen and weapons, which was still within his psychological tolerance. It's just that in terms of continuing the reward system and the welfare policy of craftsmen, Hao Yongzhong seems to be a little difficult to decide. Before, he had also heard of this reward system, and knew that once it was implemented, he would inevitably pay a lot more silver taels, so he felt a little unhappy about it.

Pang Yue was not in a hurry, and patiently explained to him the importance of doing so: although he paid more silver taels, he could mobilize the enthusiasm of the craftsmen. Moreover, the craftsmen have been accustomed to this system for almost a year, and if it is suddenly abolished, it will cause a fluctuation in people's hearts. …,

Although Hao Yongzhong is a rough man, he also understands that "if you want the horse to run, you have to let the horse eat grass", so after thinking about it twice, he finally agreed.

As for whether Hao Yongzhong will really implement it, Pang Yue no longer cares, after all, he will lead the army to leave Ganzhou in a few days, and it will be difficult to seek government if he is not in his position. Immediately afterwards, he explained some matters that Hao Yongzhong should pay attention to. Hao Yongzhong, who basically achieved his wish, was in a good mood, and he naturally accepted what Pang Yue said.

In the next few days, the whole army in Ganzhou Town was busy. The defense of the major city gates has been handed over to Hao Yongzhong's army, and the soldiers of the original Ganzhou Town are all hurrying to sort out their personal outfits, the men are busy frying dry food, and the auxiliary soldiers and some of the conscripted soldiers are busy sorting out all kinds of armor and equipment and loading them into carts......

After the battle that day, the green battalion of Jin Shengheng and the others had almost become frightened birds, and fled south to nearly ten miles away. Later, the Ming army did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, and Jin Shengheng and others did not have the ambition to counterattack, because they knew that the number of Ming troops in the city was almost the same as their own, and their own side could not win with more strikes and fewer blows.

Considering this, Jin Shengheng simply withdrew the whole army to the east bank of Gongshui, confronted the Ming army across the river, and silently sought countermeasures.

The Qing army's moves, Pang Yue saw in his eyes but did not take it to heart. He knew that after many fruitless battles under the city of Ganzhou before, the self-confidence of those green battalion soldiers had already been seriously damaged, and their morale had fallen to the extreme, and they had changed from "elite soldiers" to "shock" soldiers. Even if he led the army to leave, the Ming army in the city still had more than 20,000 people, as long as Jiannu was not iron-hearted and sent a large number of Manchurian main forces to turn around and attack, Hao Yongzhong and others would not make a mistake, and it would be no problem to hold Ganzhou.

After arranging all the specific matters, Pang Yue took the time to walk around the city.

At this time, most of the people in the city also knew the news that the people of the original Ganzhou Town were about to be transferred to Huguang, and many people sighed one after another. Although the soldiers of Ganzhou Town were stationed in Ganzhou for only one year, they did a lot of practical things, not only exterminating the nearby bandits who had been a disaster for many years, but also repelling the invading Jiannu and keeping the whole city safe. In addition, the soldiers also got along very well with the people in the city, and never disturbed the people under the strict military discipline, and from time to time they helped the people do what they could.

Now, the soldiers of Ganzhou Town are leaving, and most of the people feel very regretful, and they don't know when they will be able to meet such an official army that can fight without disturbing the people.

After getting along for so long, most of the people in the city also recognize Pang Yue. Seeing Pang Yue appear, everyone saluted, and some enthusiastic teahouse restaurant owners even invited Pang Yue to go in to eat something, but Pang Yue politely declined one by one.

Walking on the bluestone paved streets, feeling the familiar scenery around him, Pang Yue couldn't help but sigh in his heart: he had been stationed here for a year unconsciously, and now he was going to leave this place and go to fight elsewhere. I don't know when the land of China will be cut off from wolf smoke, and the people all over the world will live a peaceful and peaceful life. At that time, you can also completely let go of your baggage and choose a way of life that truly belongs to you.
