"Don't dare to be, General Pang. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info The lower official is polite here! Liu Tongyue hurriedly returned the salute when he heard Pang Yue's words, "I don't know what your ministry is doing here?" ”

"You can't talk about it, just passing by." Pang Yue said with a smile, "Our army was originally in a hurry, and did not want to stay here. It's just that I heard a report from the scout, saying that in broad daylight, the city gates of the county seat of Jingshui County are all closed. Pang was worried that your county was in trouble, so he hurriedly led the army over to take a look. What's the matter, Lord Liu, is there an enemy around here? ”

As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of snickering laughter in the Ming army, and even Wang Dongri, who was angry just now, couldn't help laughing.

At the head of the city, Liu Tongyue's face turned red and he stood up: "General Pang... I'm too worried, near the county... There is no invincibility. ”

"Oh, I see!" Pang Yue looked suddenly enlightened, "Then Pang Mou will be relieved." Since there is no hostile situation, then Lord Liu will open the city gates, all the city gates are closed, and it is inconvenient for the people to enter and exit. Our army is still on the way, so I won't bother! After speaking, Pang Yue turned his horse's head and prepared to return to the queue.

At this moment, Liu Tongyue couldn't cry or laugh. Open the gates, right? So what if the army outside the city takes the opportunity to rush in? Don't open it, right? People "came all the way to check the safety of Jingshui County", and they still closed the city gates, which was a moral loss. After reading the sage books for so many years, Liu Tongyue values reputation more than anything else, and it would be too cost-effective to leave a notoriety because of this incident.

When Liu Tongyue was in a dilemma, Pang Yue "inadvertently" looked back, saw that there was no movement on the city, and hurriedly pulled the horse's head back, and asked suspiciously: "Huh?" Lord Liu, but what else is difficult? Alas, if you have something, just say it. As long as I can do it, I will do it. You and I are officials in the same dynasty, and Lord Liu doesn't need to be so polite. ”

What's so hard for me? As long as you, General Pang, disappear from front of me with your men and horses, I will have nothing difficult to do! Liu Tongyue scolded secretly in his heart, and his face turned a little red: "Xiaguan... Xiaguan..."

"Lord Liu, don't worry, speak slowly." Pang Yue's face was full of "concern", "As long as Lord Liu's matter is not resolved, our army will not leave." ”

In the ranks of the Ming army, Lu Qiwu and Shi Youliang buried their heads behind the horse's neck, and their bodies shook violently. Zhang Yunli tried hard to control his expression, but his face was already flushed. Cui Shoucheng also bit his lip, and the muscles at the corners of his mouth kept beating.

Liu Tongyue almost cried: "General Pang, the lower official is indeed fine!" ”

"Oh, Lord Liu is fine." When Pang Yue was turning around, he "suddenly" thought of something again, and patted his head: "Ah, look at my memory." Lord Liu, you're fine, but I have something to trouble you! ”

"General Pang is polite, if there is anything that needs help from the lower officials, just give orders." Liu Tongyue made a gesture, and at the same time added a sentence in his heart: As long as you don't enter the city, don't ask for too much silver.

"Well, Lord Liu is really refreshing, then Pang Mou will say it directly. Our army's grain and grass are no longer enough, and I hope to replenish some from your county. Seeing that Liu Tongyue seemed to be about to show a sad face again, Pang Yue smiled and said: "Lord Liu, don't worry, we won't take your for nothing, just buy it with silver at the market price, how about it?" ”

Liu Tongyue breathed a sigh of relief, since it was not a forced requisition, it would be easy to do. He asked the city: "This subordinate has to send someone to inquire first, and if there is, the subordinate will naturally give priority to supplying your army." I don't know how much General Pang wants? ”

Pang Yue thought for a moment and said, "Don't have more, the grain needs 300 stones, and the horse material needs 300 stones." In addition, our army also needs some medicine for knife wounds. ”

Hearing this amount, Liu Tongyue couldn't help but be a little stunned, although he had never personally done the grain and grass business, but he also knew that the inventory of the grain stores in the city probably didn't add up to so much. However, he still replied cautiously: "General Pang Shen will wait a minute, and the lower official will go and ask if there is so much grain and grass in the city." Then he walked down the city. …,

At this time, Zhang Yunli rushed over from the rear team and told Pang Yue that Zhu Dadian asked him to come over. In order to prevent accidents on the road, Zhu Dadian had already changed his official uniform and hid in the depths of the team at the suggestion of Pang Yue, and no longer showed up at will.

"Master Zhu, what's the matter with summoning the lowly position?" After coming to the rear team, Pang Yue asked Zhu Dadian, who was dressed in cloth, quite respectfully.

"Ah, Mu Yuan, why are you so confused!" Zhu Dadian stomped his feet, "You are the Ming official army, and this local government has the obligation to provide you with grain and grass." Where is the need to buy it with silver? Since the magistrate is so unreasonable, what are you polite to him? In this way, the old man sees that the city wall is no more than two feet high, you can directly wave the army to attack, and you can go down in an instant! ”

Zhu Dadian also encountered a similar situation in the city of Taipingfu. At that time, the Taiping prefect blocked Emperor Hongguang and his entourage outside the city on the grounds of "not distinguishing between truth and falsehood", but after Zhu Dadian arrived, he waved his army to attack without dealing with the prefect in three words. After attacking it, Zhu Dadian asked someone to tie up the prefect again, and he personally whipped dozens of whips before relieving his anger. Now seeing that a small magistrate dares to pose in front of him, especially when it involves silver, Zhu Dadian is naturally angry.

"If you don't want to attack, then leave it to the old man!" Seeing that Pang Yue didn't seem to agree with his opinion, Zhu Dadian accentuated his tone again, "Zhu Meng, take out the old man's official uniform!" "The old man did the same thing in Taiping Mansion at the beginning, and now he is naturally handy to do it again.

Pang Yue hurriedly stopped Zhu Meng, and persuaded Zhu Dadian: "Master Zhu, don't do it." With the strength of our army, the capture of this city is indeed instantaneous. However, at the moment of national crisis, how can we lose the support of the people because of such a trivial matter? Besides, the humble position is a martial artist, and he doesn't care about reputation, but Mr. Zhu, you are an important minister of the country, so you can't leave a handle for those with ulterior motives. ”

"How can the old man be willing to think about many things? It's just that some of the local officials are too hateful! The Ming soldiers fought with the enemy in front, but those gangs of people regarded the officials and soldiers as thieves and turned them away! How unreasonable! Hearing what Pang Yue said, Zhu Dadian's anger receded slightly, but he still did not back down.

Pang Yue sighed and said, "Master Zhu, those people are hateful. But then again, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and the local gentry's prejudice against my Ming officials and soldiers was formed in three or two days? Our town of Luzhou is better, some of the officials and soldiers are indeed not as good as the rogues, the lack of enemies but more harm to the people, the gentry and the common people almost do not trust all the officials and soldiers. But this kind of estrangement can't be resolved in the short term, and we have to continue to hurry, so let's be patient for the time being. ”

Soon, Liu Tongyue returned to the city and gave Pang Yue a clear answer: the grain is only 150 stone at most, and the horse material is only a little more than 100 stone, but considering Pang Yue's sincerity, the price can be preferential. Although these grains and grass were only enough for the army for a few days, Pang Yue did not ask for it too much, and after smiling bitterly, he bought it all, spending more than two hundred taels of silver. During the whole process, the military and civil defense officers and soldiers in Jingshui County were like thieves, and all the grain and grass fell from the city with hanging baskets, for fear that the officers and troops outside the city would "take the opportunity to attack the city". Seeing this scene, Pang Yue couldn't help but shake his head. It is not without reason that Nanming's national situation has come to this point, how can an army that is guarded by its own people shoulder the heavy responsibility of resisting foreign enemies?

Seeing the thousands of Ming troops outside the city circling Jingshui County in a strict and orderly manner, Liu Tongyue breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly felt a trace of emotion in his heart. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had seen such a reasonable army, and the scenes he had witnessed over the years had made it almost impossible for him to trust the Ming army. Today, however, he inexplicably regrets his actions. …,

Alas, guys, I'm sorry. Now in troubled times, I have no choice but to do so. You guys... Take care all the way! Liu Tongyue let out a long sigh in the city.

"My lord, I just don't understand! That bird official doesn't know what to do, why do you still have to accommodate him?! According to me, go directly to the city, and see if the bird official dares to collect cash! Don't you dare to say that there is not enough food and grass! It's been more than ten miles since he left Jingshui County, but Shi Youliang still has wide eyes and chatters.

"Zhou Ming... Calm down! Pang Yue patiently said these words again.

"My lord, I just can't figure it out..."

"That's it! Shut up! ”

“……”

"My lord, according to the scout's report, there are a few local gentry in front of me who are guarding the roadside, saying that they want to invite us to their manor to rest." Ma Yuancheng came to Pang Yue's side to pray.

Well? And this kind of good thing? If you really want to fall asleep, someone will send you a pillow! Pang Yue looked at the blackened sky and said, "It's okay, take me over to have a look." ”

"Yes, my lord!"

"By the way, did they tell me their names?" Pang Yue asked casually.

"One of the two leaders is named Zhou Yuanqing, and the other is called... Oh, it's called Yin Minxing! ”

"Zhou Yuanqing? Yin Minxing? Pang Yue searched for the information of these two people in his mind, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed, and the spark of memory was ignited at that moment, "Yin Minxing?!" Is it him? ”

*********

In the evening, Zhoujiazhuang in the west of Jingshui County, the torches are bright, and the voices of people are boiling, as if they are feasting distinguished guests.

In the main hall of the Zhou family compound, the officers of the Flying Tiger Battalion and the Zhenwei Battalion gathered together, and the various dishes on the table were dizzying, and several local gentry were also greeting them warmly. And Zhu Dadian took the initiative to hide his identity, changed into cloth clothes and sat in the outhouse with a group of copywriters and scribes.

"Come, Zhou respects General Pang for one night!" Zhou Qingyuan, the owner of the village, proudly picked up a bowl of wine in front of him, raised his head, and drank it all.

"Zhou Yuanwai is polite, Pang Mou is respectful!" Pang Yue picked up the wine bowl in front of him and drank it all.

At that time, after hearing Ma Yuancheng mention the names of Zhou Qingyuan and Yin Minxing, Pang Yue was surprised, Zhou Qingyuan he didn't know very well, but Yin Minxing he knew. Yin Minxing, in the first year of Chongzhen (1528) Wuchen Jinshi, successively served as the magistrate of Ningguo County and Jingshui County, and later returned to the country. After the Qing army moved south, Yin Minxing, who lived in Jingshui County, organized a righteous army in the county on July 16 in the first year of Hongguang (1645), and continued to persist in the struggle against the Qing Dynasty in the surrounding prefectures and counties after the defeat. After Emperor Longwu ascended the throne in Fuzhou, Yin Minxing served as the superintendent of the Longwu Dynasty. After listening to Yin Minxing's introduction, Pang Yue learned that since Yin Minxing resigned from Fang Langzhong, the staff of the Hongguang Dynasty due to illness, he moved to Jingshui County, where he had served as the magistrate, and lived in the home of the local landlord Zhou Qingyuan. This Zhou Qingyuan is the owner of Zhoujiazhuang, his family has more than 4,000 acres of fertile land, and there are several shops in the county, which is one of the largest households in the county. During Yin Minxing's tenure as the magistrate of Jingshui County, Zhou Yuanqing formed a friendship with him, and later invited him to live in his home when he saw that he was living here without a fixed place.

This Zhou Yuanqing is also a bold person, today he went to the county seat with Yin Minxing to check the situation of several shops during the day, and happened to meet the scene of Pang Yue and Wang Dongri's army arriving outside Jingshui County. Seeing that Pang Yue had thousands of troops in his hands, but he was able to sympathize with Dali and not enter the city or disturb the people, Zhou Qingyuan and Yin Minxing couldn't help but praise this young general in their hearts. After the army left, the two of them considered that it was late and it would be inconvenient for these thousands of people to sleep outside, so they discussed it a little, and hurried out of the city and rushed to the front of Pang Yue and his party, wanting to return to the friendship of the landlord.

"General Wang, please!" Zhou Qingyuan saluted Wang Dongri again.

"You're polite!" Wang Dongri smiled in return.

Immediately afterwards, Yin Minxing and several other squires also stood up and toasted the officers. The wine bowl is not very big, and the purity of the wine is not high, after drinking several bowls, Pang Yue did not feel drunk, but his stomach was uncomfortable.
