Chapter 218: I Have an Idea
Listening to Li Liang's big gift as if he was giving a big gift, although Pang Gang was happy in his heart, he still had to pretend to be very calm and nod frequently, and expressed his gratitude with a smile on his face.
Although Pang Gang is already very rich in selling refined salt, no one will think that he has too much money to burn his hands, and he is still very moved by the generosity of this cheap old man. However, he also knew that the reason why Li Liang would give such a large dowry was because he was grateful for his rescue of North Korea, and secondly, he was afraid that his daughter would suffer a loss in his house in the future.
"Pity the hearts of parents all over the world!" Pang Gang couldn't help but sigh secretly when he thought of this, but although he was a little moved in his heart, there were still some things to do.
Pang Gang stood up again, bowed to Li Liang and his wife, and said loudly: "Son-in-law Pang Gang has just seen his father-in-law and mother-in-law. ”
This is the first time that Pang Gang has met his father-in-law and mother-in-law in public as a son-in-law, so naturally he can't be at will, Li Liang and Concubine Xian sat on their seats and smiled and waved his hand to signal him to stand up.
Li Qi also smiled and said: "Virtuous son-in-law, please get up, today is a celebration, let's only talk about business." ”
Pang Gang smiled and said, "Thank you for Your Highness's generosity, then Pang Gang was rude." ”
"Hahaha, you're welcome, we're all family!" Li Qi seemed very interested and laughed.
After everyone shouted halfway, there was a letter of judgment from Bing Cao who tentatively asked Pang Gang what he wanted to do to hold a wedding with Princess Jiayi, after all, since you have given someone a name, you can't use a small sedan chair to bring in from the back door like marrying a concubine, you must hold a grand wedding, otherwise it will be disrespectful to the Korean royal family.
However, as soon as Pang Gang heard this, he felt that something was wrong, and he pondered in his heart, this is not right, why are you in a hurry to get married, you need to urge your buddy to go back to complete the marriage. After thinking about it carefully, it turned out that these ministers of civil and military affairs were afraid that their buddies would not leave in North Korea, and then stir up trouble in North Korea in the name of their sons-in-law.
"Hehe, I'm afraid it's these guys who crossed the river and demolished the bridge." Pang Gang, who understood this layer, sneered in his heart, and the wine glass swirled lightly between his fingers, "These guys really eat hard and not soft." ”
Pang Gang gently put down his wine glass and said to Jin Shiyan, the soldier Cao Judgment: "Don't worry, my lord, the Qing soldiers have been expelled from North Korea, and this official will naturally lead his troops back to China, and he will not be delayed in North Korea for too long." ”
"Eh, why are you in such a hurry to go back, why don't you stay in Korea so that my Korean subjects can fulfill their friendship as landlords." Although Jin Shiyan wanted to let the Ming officers and soldiers in the city go as fast as possible, he definitely wanted to keep it.
"There is no need to stay, this official is busy with official business in Qingzhou, how can he stay in North Korea for a long time." Pang Gang's face at this time had an impatient look. He waved his hand and said, "But this official has one more thing to worry about Lord Jin." ”
"Huge people, please speak, as long as this official can do a definition!" Hearing that Pang Gang promised to leave as soon as possible, Jin Shiyan immediately put his heart into his stomach, as if he was a good brother and angry.
Pang Gang said lightly: "That's the case, recently I want to train a sailor in Qingzhou, but there is a lack of officers and generals in the sailor, I want to borrow Li Xiaojun from your country to control for a period of time, and wait until the Qingzhou sailor is trained before letting him return to China, I don't know if you can cut your love?" ”
"Oh, no problem, there is no big war in the water division now, so let him stay in Qingzhou first." For this kind of generous thing, Jin Shiyan is very willing to do it.
"Then I would like to thank you for your generosity." Pang Gang smiled: "Although today is a good day, there are some things that should not be said, but this official is about to return to China, but I want to remind you." ”
"Huge people, please speak." Jin Shiyan poured a glass of wine disappreciatively and brought it to his lips.
"Well, that's right, some time ago, when the official was chasing Amin, he saw their Prince Rui Dolgon by the Yalu River, who happened to lead an army of 50,000 to meet Amin's remnants by the Yalu River, so the official had to retreat. However, according to my estimate, Dolgon's troops are not for fun by the Yalu River, they must have another purpose, and you should do it yourself. ”
"Jingle Boom"
The wine glass in Jin Shiyan's hand suddenly fell to the ground, and a crisp sound sounded.
"What, Dolgon has 50,000 troops on the banks of the Yalu River?"
Jin Shiyan screamed, his voice was so loud that everyone around him heard his exclamation.
"What, Dorgon is here?"
Almost everyone exclaimed, and many people's faces turned pale in an instant.
Pang Gang saw the changes in everyone's faces, and he couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: "It seems that this Dolgon's notoriety in the hearts of the North Koreans is even more terrible than Amin's." ”
Pang Gang also saw some information about Dolgon when he also read history books in later generations, and those who sang praises for him said that he was "an outstanding politician and military strategist in the early Qing Dynasty, a key figure in completing the foundation of the unification of the Qing Dynasty, and the actual ruler of the early Qing Dynasty. ”
But in fact, in Pang Gang's opinion, Dolgon is a person, although Dolgon has a certain military talent. However, the crimes of mass massacre, barbaric plunder, and forced annihilation of women committed against Mongolians, Koreans, and Han people before and after entering the customs are unforgivable crimes. Moreover, there are also "six major maladministrations", shaving hair, changing clothes, enclosing land, occupying houses (encroaching on houses), throwing money (robbing Han people as slaves), and fleeing (fugitive law), and the longest lasting is the fugitive law. In June of the seventh year of Shunzhi, Guo Zhaoji, the governor of Guangxi, and others were executed for "leading 53 fugitives without permission". Shunzhi ten years of heavy rain into a disaster, "Zhili was flooded everywhere, all the people were displaced, the old and the young, and Shandong." However, the law of fugitives is strict, and they dare not take them in, and the displaced people cry and migrate."
Such a person who has done such evil deeds is really too famous, and it is no wonder that the whole North Korean panicked when they heard that Dorgon was coming.
Li Liang's face, which had turned slightly red after drinking a few glasses of wine, instantly turned blue, and he said tremblingly: "What! Is Dorgon going to Korea? ”
Concubine Xian, who was sitting next to Li Liang, was also frightened and her face turned pale, stretched out her little hand to cover her tall chest, and said in a trembling voice: "General Pang Pang, this matter can't be joked, has Dolgon really arrived at the Yalu River?" ”
"This is what Pang saw with his own eyes, how can it be fake?" Pang Gang said unhappily: "At that time, I was on the other side of the Yalu River, and the Qing army rushing to help over there also happened to arrive, and I could see their banners clearly, how could it be fake, if His Royal Highness and the princess were suspicious, they could send someone to check it." ”
Pang Gang said this, and now everyone knows the seriousness of the matter, and they peep at each other one by one, only Pang Gang, Da Zhuang, Li Yuan and others are slowly tasting rice wine on the side.
However, the civil and military officials of North Korea are not stupid enough to be at home, and after a while, their eyes are focused on one person.
"Huge man, don't leave yet, Dolgon is here, you can't leave North Korea alone!"
"General Pang, you better stay in North Korea first!"
"yes, Dolgon is coming, what are we going to do?"
At this time, everyone was dumbfounded, originally thought that Amin had been driven away, but now it was back to the good old days, but they didn't expect Dolgon, who was more ferocious than Amin, to come again.
It was only then that they remembered the general from the Ming Kingdom in front of them, and pleaded with Pang Gang one by one.
It's just that Pang Gang and the others only lowered their heads and drank the rice wine in a sip, without the slightest idea of opening.
"It's really a night pot when my brother is a night pot, when I use my brother, I pull down my face and beg, and when I run out, I will kick my brother away!"
Seeing Pang Gang with a cold face, Jin Shiyan, who was sitting on the side, had a blue and red face, who let himself be so eager to send them away just now, okay, now that the Qing soldiers are here again, dumbfounded!
In desperation, he had no choice but to look at his own boss sitting in front of him, the three thousand miles of North Korea are yours, you can't let us do everything, and now it's your turn to go out.
Li Liang had no choice but to put on a smile and said to Pang Gang: "Virtuous son-in-law, originally you wanted to go back to get married, and I couldn't stop you, but now that the Qing army is about to attack North Korea again, can you stay in North Korea for a little longer?" ”
Pang Gang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, it's not that the son-in-law doesn't understand people, but at this time, the Qing soldiers are currently only stationed by the Yalu River, and I don't know when they will come over, and I can't just take the army here to spend it, right?" The army stays for a long time, and the food cost is not low! ”
"What then?" Li Liang also panicked, now the Qing army is only stationed by the Yalu River, but no one dares to guarantee when they will come, maybe Pang Gang's army will come as soon as they leave? Do you want to invite someone else to come over when the time comes? He had already posted a daughter last time, and he didn't have a second daughter to give away.
"Virtuous son-in-law, for Xuezhu's sake, you can save us from North Korea." The virtuous concubine on the side saw her husband so embarrassed, and she also pleaded.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Pang Gang also felt that the foreplay had been played enough, and it would be too much if he continued to act. He pretended to be embarrassed and thought about it, before frowning and said, "That's it, I have an idea, let's see if it works, if you think it's not feasible, then I didn't say anything, what do you think?" ”
"What's the idea?" As soon as Pang Gang's words came out, everyone's eyes looked over
