Things were as Pang Yue expected, early the next morning, Shi Youliang came to visit. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations!" Before anyone heard his voice, a moment later, Shi Youliang strode across the threshold of the living room, still holding a small swaddling cloth in his hand.

"Zhou Ming, are you remembering the wrong day? It's not the first day of the Lunar New Year, so you'd like to pay my respects to the New Year! Pang Yue quipped.

"That's right, tomorrow is the first day of the Lunar New Year." Shi Youliang laughed and said, "However, I am here today to congratulate the handsome queen, you may not know how happy the soldiers are after learning this good news!" ”

After Pang Yue had a future, it also meant that the Pang family had a inheritance, and the officers and soldiers of the three armies in Huguang Town had a stable allegiance. For traditional martial artists such as Shi Youliang, this is a kind of spiritual sustenance and a kind of faith.

"Your intentions are good, but the congratulatory message is really not very good. That is, in my place, in another place, the master must kick you out. Pang Yue walked over as he spoke, looking at the swaddling clothes on Shi Youliang's hand, "This is?" ”

Shi Youliang proudly lifted the swaddling clothes up: "My son!"

In swaddling clothes, a white and chubby baby is very cute.

"Oh? I should congratulate you first! Come on, come on, let me hug my eldest nephew. Pang Yue smiled and took the child, "How old are you?" ”

"Coincidentally, I was born a few days after our northern expedition." Shi Youliang's words were full of joy, and his gaze at the child was also gentle and kind, making it impossible to connect it with the killing god on the battlefield. But it's not hard to understand. Shi Youliang was born in the green forest in his early years, wandering and uncertain, and later finally settled down. It wasn't until he was thirty or forty years old that he had such a son, and the love of licking calves was naturally reasonable.

The little one is not afraid of life. When he arrived in Pang Yue's arms, he stared at the stranger in front of him without fear with a pair of small black eyes. Then he was amused by Pang Yue's grimace, and he actually giggled, and kicked his little arms and legs wildly.

Pang Yue couldn't help laughing, gently pinched two handfuls on the little guy's pink face, and gave it to Shi Youliang: "This kid really looks like your old Shi, does he have a name?"

"I did think of a name, so I used the camp name of our Flying Tiger Battalion, called Shi Feihu. I just don't know if it's appropriate, but I'm here to listen to Dashuai today. ”

"Shi Feihu?" Pang Yue, who had just stopped laughing, suddenly couldn't help laughing again, "Majestic is majestic, but it is easy to think of a certain mountain king, do you want your eldest nephew to do this in the future?" ”

Shi Youliang suddenly realized and patted his thigh: "I said why I always feel that something is wrong, and when I heard the adults say this, I finally found out what the problem was." Haha, indeed. When I fell into the grass, those big shopkeepers liked to use this kind of mixed name, either this dragon or that tiger. No, not really. But I'm a rough one. I can't think of anything good, so let's just get one! ”

Pang Yue didn't shirk and thought about it. He said, "How about being called Shi Yun?" Shi Yun, the word Pengfei. ”

Shi Youliang was obviously very satisfied: "Okay, good." This name is good, it sounds like a general general! Feed. Yun'er, don't you want to thank Uncle Pang? ”

Listening to the tone of this official fan, Pang Yue smiled, and then said another thing: "Zhou Ming, you came just in time today, there are a few things I have always wanted to talk to you and Lianggong and Chengye before, and it just so happens that you are here today, so I don't have to choose another day."

"I don't know what the big marshal is talking about?"

"The soldiers fought bloodily to defeat Jingzhou, but I gave it to the loyal battalion. Wang Guangtai and Zheng Siwei were newly attached, but I took the initiative to write to the imperial court to ask for officials. I wonder what you think about this? Seeing that Shi Youliang couldn't wait to express his position, Pang Yue said again, "I know that you have already expressed your attitude in the previous military meeting. But it was a solemn occasion after all, and now in this private place, I want to hear your truest thoughts. You don't have to think about it, I don't have any other intentions, it's just that sometimes I always feel indebted to you. You, as well as Zibin and Lianggong, are all old people who have followed me for many years, and they have suffered a lot and made a lot of contributions, but now they can only be relegated to the rank of deputy general and general. It stands to reason that with your military exploits and abilities, it is time to release the general army, and this victory in Jingzhou is an excellent opportunity, but I failed to fight for you, but left the opportunity to Wang and Zheng, I don't know what you think? It doesn't hurt to have it, even if you say it, no matter what, there should be no estrangement between our old brothers who are born and die. ”

"What are you talking about?" Shi Youliang finally had a chance to speak, and glared at the bull's eye, "If there is no handsome, how can there be today's Huguang Town?" Lu Heizi and I are not three-year-old children, how can they be so ignorant? The sale of Jingzhou is also for a reason, and the marshal has explained it before, and we all understand the truth. As for those who are not promoted, we will not be so careful. ”

While speaking, Shi Boy, who had just been given the name Shi Yun by Pang Yue, began to kick in his father's arms again, Shi Youliang adjusted his posture and continued: "I think back then, my family was very poor, but whenever a guest came to the door, my father and mother would always leave the best food for them. At that time, I was still young and couldn't understand why they did that, but later I slowly understood that etiquette should always be left to outsiders, and if my family was wronged, I would be wronged, and what would the family have to complain about? And now, why is this not the case, since the handsome man treats us as old brothers, how can we compete with two outsiders for that little profit? ”

Shi Youliang's words were simple and straightforward, which also moved Pang Yue. The so-called three gangs of heroes, he knows that the reason why he can lead Huguang Town to this day is largely because of the strong support of Shi Youliang's old subordinates, which is also his most powerful reliance in this troubled world.

"If Zhou Ming can think so, then I will rest assured." Pang Yue bowed slightly, "However, giving profits to outsiders will not go on forever, as the head of Huguang Town, I will not always let my family suffer." It would be nice to get through this year or two. ”

Shi Youliang said with a smile: "Actually, if you don't say this, we all know it, and we haven't been following you for a day or two, when have you ever treated the brothers badly?"

Pang Yue smiled but did not speak.

Less than half an hour after Shi Youliang left. Lu Qiwu and He Zhenting came to the door one after another. Coincidentally, these two people are also happy to have a noble son and a daughter. Lu Qiwu's is a son. He Zhenting's daughter was born only a few days before and after the Shi family's boy.

It's the same as Shi Youliang. The two men also came with their children in their arms. Lu Qiwu shouted as soon as he entered the door: "Dashuai, I heard that you gave a good name to the kid of Shi's big family, don't leave my son behind!"

He Zhenting also happily echoed on the side: "Yes, there is also my daughter!" Lao Liu is also holding the child on the road! ”

When Pang Yue heard this, he almost didn't break out in a cold sweat in the winter, when did he have the responsibility of naming the doll?

…………

The third year of Longwu is coming to an end, and for all the soldiers in Huguang Town, this New Year is indeed worth celebrating. Jingzhou's victory, coach Pang Yue's queen, and many generals got their sons, and a lot of happy events came together. The festive atmosphere speaks for itself.

In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the whole army rested, and each soldier was given a certain amount of wine and meat and New Year silver. The barracks were lit up with lights, and the soldiers who had completely relaxed their nerves were full of smiling faces, busy pasting couplets and playing glutinous cakes, enjoying the peace and tranquility after the war.

At night, fireworks explode in the city, rendering the entire night sky in a colorful way. Whether it was in the barracks or in the homes of ordinary people, the warm noise infected everyone present.

In the backyard of the Yamen of the Metropolitan Division. Pang Yue was the east, and the guerrilla officers above the level of Huguang Town gathered together to talk, laugh and drink.

"I wish Daming a prosperous day, and the Tatars will be thin! May all brothers work together. Longwu has achieved great results in four years! ”

"I wish the handsome Hong Fu Qitian and a bright future!"

……

In the barracks, all the officers and men also had a dinner party in their own bureaus. To celebrate the New Year. Not only did the town's firehead army go into battle, but Pang Yue also specially invited a group of chefs in the city at a high price. Many never-before-seen dishes are on the table. Let the soldiers open their eyes and move their index fingers.

Trapped in the small courtyard of the barracks of the first division of the first division of the camp B team. It's also very lively.

Zhang Santong sat among the brothers, drinking and watching the fireworks that kept blooming in the night sky, full of emotion. I don't know if it was the blessing of the Bodhisattva or the manifestation of the ancestors, in the battle of Jingzhou, he was still safe and sound in the end. Not only that, but he also harvested two enemy heads and received a reward of dozens of taels of silver. Counting the previous record, as long as you get two more heads, you can exchange it for a silver third-class warrior medal. When the dozens of taels of silver are brought back, the family will not only be able to renovate the house but also buy two cows, and the father and brothers will not have to work so hard.

In this troubled world, ordinary people's lives are like mustard. In Huguang Town, although the soldiers will face danger at any time, they always have infinite hope for life. It is a great blessing to be able to use my own efforts to find peace and prosperity for my family, and to be able to sit among the brothers from time to time and toast and drink. It also made Zhang Santong and thousands of Huguang Town soldiers particularly cherished.

All of this is thanks to the handsome! Zhang Santong doesn't know how many times he has sighed.

"Three fools, what do you think?" Zhang Santong was thinking about it, Leng Buding's shoulder was patted heavily, and when he turned his head, it turned out to be Hu Dapeng.

"What's in store for the new year?" Hu Dapeng asked with a smile while holding the wine bowl.

"Live well, cut off a few more Tartar heads, and earn more money for your family." Zhang Santong said without thinking, "Brother Dapeng, what about you?" ”

"Haha, you kid knows the silver, shouldn't you lose the money, right? I? I don't really care about the money, I just don't want to be a military commander next time I celebrate the New Year. ”

As he was talking, the general manager and the supervisor of the bureau were toasting from table to table with wine bowls, and they had already come here.

Hu Dapeng took the lead and said loudly: "I wish President Bai and the supervisor good health and promotion step by step!"

…………

The fourth year of Longwu came in a festive atmosphere.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the holy decree was delivered to Chenzhou. Emperor Longwu agreed to Pang Yue's previous suggestions and agreed to temporarily hand over Jingzhou to the loyal battalion to garrison; Adapted Wang Guangtai and Zheng Siwei II, and newly established Yuezhou and Yongding two towns, Wang Guangtai was the general soldier of Yuezhou, and Zheng Siwei was the general soldier of Yongding; Gave Pang Yue Shangfang the sword, allowed to control the soldiers and horses of Yuezhou and Yongding in the name of Dingwu Hou and Tongzhi, the governor of the right capital, and the defense of Chenzhou and Yuezhou in northern Hunan during the war; Feng Wang Guangtai is the uncle of Xiangyang, and Zheng Siwei is the uncle of Jingzhou; Feng Zhang Yunli is Lang Yubo. Shi Youliang is Nanyang Bo, and Lu Qiwu is Baoding Bo. Cui Shou became Yangzhou Bo; The rest of the meritorious generals were also rewarded and promoted to the first level. Reward a number of silver and two brocades.

Pang Yue was still quite satisfied with this result, almost everything he could fight for was obtained, and Emperor Longwu also showed the greatest generosity and tolerance, if he was not satisfied, he would be a little insatiable.

As for the candidates for the prefects of Yuezhou and Jingzhou, and the prefects of various counties, Pang Yue has also learned a thing or two. The prefect and county of Yuezhou are mostly the Jinshi of the first imperial examination of the Longwu Dynasty last year, and the hometown of the new prefect Liu Yue is just the domain of Emperor Longwu when he was the king of Tang, Nanyang, Henan, and belongs to the descendants of the Son of Heaven. The new prefect of Jingzhou is Gao Qian. He Tengjiao's fellow villager and protégé, one of the main cadres of the He Department. Moreover, it is said that this Gao Qian was originally the candidate for the prefect of Yuezhou recommended by He Tengjiao to Emperor Longwu, and most of the prefects of Jingzhou counties were also recommended by He Tengjiao, but he did not expect that he was all appointed to Jingzhou this time. Obviously, this is almost no different from the distribution of the high-minded He officials.

Governor He's military and political attacks on Yuezhou failed on both sides, which also made Pang Yue breathe a sigh of relief. Of course, Pang Yue knew that he had no grudges or hatred with He Tengjiao. I don't have much bad feelings for this person, but I just hope that the next time I lead the army to meet the enemy, I will be less entangled and hindered, that's all.

For Wang Guangtai and Zheng Siwei, this result did not disappoint them too much. The chief military officer, the earl, and the subordinate men and horses of their own, it is already good for the new generals to have this kind of treatment. As for being controlled by Pang Yue. Pang Yue had communicated with them before, and the treatment he had received over the past few days was very worrying. Therefore, they can be regarded as obedient for the time being, and immediately rushed to Pang Yue after receiving the order. Again, pointing to heaven shows faithfulness.

was also a marquis, but Zhang Yunli, Shi Youliang and the other four were very uneasy, on the grounds that Pang Yue had not been promoted to the knighthood this time, how could they be crowned with peace of mind? even found Pang Yue together, hoping that he could write to ask the Son of Heaven to take back his fate. In this regard, Pang Yue naturally resolutely rejected it, regardless of whether Zhang Yunli and others were really panicked or pretended to be modest.

So far, the few affairs left over from Longwu's three years have all been dealt with. In the fourth year of Longwu, Pang Yue knew that he still had a long way to go, and how to further strengthen his strength and prepare for the battle before the Qing army invaded south again was the top priority in the coming months.

…………

On the evening of the second day of junior high school, Pang Yue took the time to summon Xing Biao, the director of Eagle Eye Guard.

Among the two major intelligence agencies in Huguang Town, compared with the Intelligence Department that has been on the right track, although the rising star Eagle Eye Guard started late and is smaller in scale, it has also begun to emerge. Many of the members were colleagues and subordinates of Xing Biao when he was in the East Factory, and they were skilled in business and handy in their old jobs.

However, it was not difficult for Xing Biao to feel that Pang Yue obviously relied more on the Intelligence Department, and what was handed over to Hawkeye Wei was mostly some inconsequential peripheral affairs. But Xing Biao can also understand this, after all, the Intelligence Department was established before, and most of the members are old people who have followed Pang Yue for many years. He just hopes to gain Pang Yue's trust step by step with his performance, so in the previous months, no matter how inconspicuous the things he took over, he would do his best in the shortest possible time.

At the same time, Xing Biao was also silently waiting for the opportunity. He has never been a person who is willing to be mediocre, and he has always believed that Pang Yue, who has a wide vision, will never put Hawkeye Guard on hold for too long. On this day, he got the news that Pang Yue was going to summon him. Although such summons were frequent, he had a vague premonition in his heart that this time would be different.

"Subordinates participate in the marshal!"

"No need to be polite, sit down." Pang Yue smiled faintly as usual, "Recently, the Eagle Eye Guard has performed well, I have seen it in my eyes, and you have contributed a lot to the old punishment." ”

"The subordinates don't dare." Xing Biao was still unsmiling, and his answers were direct and brief.

"Haha...... You're angry with me. Pang Yue said, "Okay, then I won't beat around the bush, let's get down to business." Are you familiar with the northern provinces of Beizhili, Shandong, Shanxi, etc.? ”

"If you go back to Dashuai, your subordinates are from Shandong, and then you work in Dongchang, and you often walk around in Zhili, Shanxi and other places. In addition, the languages and customs of the northern provinces are similar, so the subordinates also think that they are familiar with it. ”

Pang Yue nodded: "Okay, if I send you to these places to do something, will you have any difficulties?"

Xing Biao was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Even if the commander has something to order, even if there is a difficulty, his subordinates will do their best to overcome it."

"What if I send you to stay in these places?"

Hearing this seemingly casual question, Xing Biao clearly felt his heartbeat in an instant. Excitement flashed, and his face was as usual: "The subordinates dare to ask the marshal to explain it in detail."

"Since the establishment of the Intelligence Division and the Hawkeye Guard, our army has benefited a lot. However, in the long run, our town's current intelligence network is far from being strong enough, and it can still detect a thing or two about the southern provinces, but when it comes to the north, it will almost become blind. In order to better anticipate the enemy's opportunities and win by surprise in future battles, we have to further spread our nets and spread them behind the Tartars' rears or even under their noses. My plan is to hand over this task of casting the net to Hawkeye, and you will be fully responsible for it, I wonder what you think? ”

At this moment, even though the city government was deep, Xing Biao was still very excited in his heart. It can be said that he has waited too long for this day. The experience in the East Factory and his own talent have long made him accustomed to the days of fighting with people, obsessed with playing with the enemy and the feeling of being invisible, which directly led to him wandering around for more than ten years after the cancellation of the East Factory but never being able to find his true belonging. Now, a new opportunity is in front of him, and it is a heavy responsibility on his own, how can he refuse?

"Thanks to the marshal's trust, his subordinates dare to die without service?"

"You have to think about it, it's unusual to lurk under the noses of the Tartars, and you can't talk about the risks." Pang Yue said deliberately.

Xing Biao's tone was flat but firm: "Please rest assured, jackals can only scare chickens, ducks, pigs and dogs, and in the eyes of real hunters, they are not worth mentioning at all." It's the ghost gate, and the subordinates have to break through. ”

"Good! If you have such faith, why should you worry about not being able to achieve great things? Pang Yue nodded and said, "After you go back, you will start to prepare and strive to leave as soon as possible." Tell me anything you need, personnel, weapons, funds, etc., I will do my best to allocate them to you. ”

"Subordinates obey!" (To be continued.) )
