Everyone looked at it, and the person who spoke turned out to be Li Yuan, who was stationed by Pang Gang to serve as the deputy Qianhu of Qianniu Guard, Li Yuan has always been known for his bravery, and he made some contributions when Pang Gang was the king of soldiers at the beginning of this year. Pang Gang saw that he fought bravely, so he applied to the imperial court to promote him to be a deputy Qianhu, and later in order to mix sand in the two guards of Anton Wei and Qianniuwei, Pang Gang specially sent him to settle in the Qianniu Guard, but I didn't expect to see him for four or five months, this guy's temper is still as impatient as ever.

Pang Gang looked at him with an anxious look: "It's a meeting now, what are you doing with such a loud voice, I'm afraid people won't hear it!" ”

When Li Yuan first arrived in Lingshanwei, he was severely taught a lesson by Pang Gang because his mouth was too stinky, and after that, the child fell into a psychological shadow, even if he is now a deputy Qianhu, as soon as he sees Pang Gang glaring at him, his heart will be reflexively furious.

Now that he was swept away by Pang Gang's eyes, his heart immediately felt a little worried, and he touched his head and laughed twice: "This, isn't it in a hurry, it's because I spoke louder, don't blame my lord." After speaking, he sat down brightly, and everyone on the side wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh out loud, for fear of provoking this guy who fought bravely but also had a good temper, and he didn't have the ability to beat him with three punches and two kicks like a huge person.

"My lord, the general still has a question, please solve your doubts." Lin Feng, the governor of Qingzhou, also stood up and clenched his fists and asked.

Pang Gang glanced at Lin Feng and said, "Speak!" ”

"As the saying goes, the soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved, I don't know how many soldiers and horses the North Korean adults want to send this time? It is also good to raise food and grass for lowly duties. ”

Pang Gang stretched out a slap and said slowly: "Five thousand, at most five thousand five hundred sergeants!" Qingzhou, Lingshanwei and other places must leave at least 3,000 soldiers to guard, otherwise Qingzhou will be empty. ”

Everyone agrees with Pang Gang's opinion, and now the main tuntian, factories and mines and salt fields are in Lingshanwei, which is the foundation of Pang Gang and everyone, if they are kicked by someone, they don't even have a place to cry.

Pang Gang looked at everyone and said, "It seems that everyone still has different opinions on sending troops to North Korea, right?" There are some people who just think that sending troops to North Korea is purely thankless, and this is originally a matter for the imperial court, so let's make a lot of fun. It's thankless to win, and the court won't reward us, maybe it will issue a decree to blame, and if you lose, it's even worse, maybe you will lose your official position and resign, isn't that what you mean? ”

Everyone, look at me, I look at you, they do have different opinions on sending troops to North Korea, but although a few people have quite objections to this, Pang Gang's prestige among them is too high, and they dare not raise their opinions even if they have them.

Pang Gang looked at everyone and sighed, it seems that his subordinates still lack some strategic vision. So he went on to explain: "According to this official's opinion, sending troops to North Korea to relieve the siege of Korea is not just to alleviate the unfavorable situation of my Ming Dynasty, but in fact, it is also of great benefit to our Qingzhou, please look at the map." ”

Pang Gang walked to the map hanging behind him and said: "In fact, the reason why this official sent troops to Korea has three purposes, first, to relieve the siege of Korea and prevent the Tartars from invading the south so unscrupulously. Second, our side can take the opportunity of this great victory to send troops to the DPRK, and only by setting this precedent will we be able to gain a foothold in the DPRK, and then we can take the DPRK and Liaodong, where our influence has expanded. Third, it is to take the opportunity to train our sailors, we Shandong is surrounded by water on three sides, if there is a strong sailor by our side, we can attack and retreat, no matter who comes to fight us, we can be invincible. How can we not do such a good thing? ”

With Pang Gang's explanation, everyone also nodded frequently, although many of them did not pay enough attention to the sea, but the benefits of having a powerful sailor in their own family were self-evident. And listening to Pang Gang's tone, the matter of sending troops is already a certainty, why should he bother to be this wicked person? And for those of them who are soldiers, only fighting is the most open way to promotion, don't you see that Da Zhuang and Wang Zhi, who were originally just a hundred households, followed the huge people to the capital, and after a few battles, they immediately turned over and became deputy thousand households? And as Pang Gang's strength continues to increase and his strength continues to increase, if he doesn't follow the footsteps of the boss, he will inevitably be abandoned by the boss sooner or later.

Thinking of this, everyone's hearts became lively, and they all began to agree with one voice in favor of sending troops to North Korea.

The meeting went smoothly, and after consultations, Pang Gang decided to bring 5,500 troops with him, including 1,000 cavalrymen, 2,000 bird-gunners equipped with Minnie guns, and 1,000 pikemen and 1,000 baggage soldiers, and the remaining 500 were Pang Gang's own soldiers who did not collect them at night.

The number of troops to be sent is easy to decide, but when the final list of troops is finally selected, there was a dispute at the meeting, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that this dispatch of troops is a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and it is difficult to say whether he will be promoted or not, but it is certain that he will make a fortune. Pang Gang once stipulated in the army that when he went out to fight, all the property obtained would be handed over, but after the war, the people who captured it could get forty percent of silver, but don't underestimate this forty percent, last time many low-level officers and sergeants who followed Pang Gang into the king of Jingqin relied on these forty percent to capture the property in Qingzhou and even Lingshan Wei to marry a daughter-in-law and be promoted.

Seeing that all his subordinates could hear the battle and rejoice, Pang Gang was also very pleased, he didn't care what the purpose of the soldiers was to fight, in his opinion, as long as the active surnames of the soldiers could be mobilized to fight, it would be a good thing. Although it is difficult to do some things when fighting in the territory of Daming, which will be tied by military regulations, there is no such worry at all outside the Ming Dynasty.

"Okay, don't quarrel, whoever goes and who stays with the official has made a decision, and now everyone who reads the name will go to North Korea with the official, Da Zhuang, Wang Zhi, Li Yuan, Bin Shiqian, Meng Qing"

As Pang Gang's names were read one by one, some people in the conference room were happy and some were worried, elated when they read their names, and depressed when they didn't read their names.

After reading the list, Pang Gang said with a smile: "Okay, those who don't read their names are also discouraged, and those who stay behind also have merit, and you will also have a share of the reward when you return from victory." Okay, now that the meeting is adjourned, remember that you must start moving immediately after you go back, and all the military supplies, ammunition, equipment, and food must be prepared, and the planned soldiers must be assembled at Wanghai Fort in two days, that is, before August 17, and those who fail to do so will be dealt with by military law if they fail to do so! ”

Although Pang Gang said this with a smile on his face, everyone in the conference room agreed in unison: "Yes!" Obey the general's orders! ”

After the meeting broke up, Pang Gang deliberately left Hua Yan behind.

"Hua experience, after the official left, the matter of Qingzhou will be entrusted to you, our iron ore, tungsten ore, cement plant and refined salt production must not be stagnant, if anyone dares to mess around, they will be severely punished, and the development of Qingzhou and various health centers must not be delayed, do you understand?"

"The humble job understands that the humble duty will definitely help you take care of this family, and will never let people disturb the order of Qingzhou." Hua Yan also knew how heavy the burden was on his shoulders, and Pang Gang's saying this meant that he entrusted his rear to him, which was so heavy.

"Well, especially the training of recruits in Dengzhou and Laizhou must not be stopped, once the training is completed, they will be immediately transferred to Qingzhou for guarding, if there is any order from the imperial court, you will say that the official is not there, everything must wait for the official to come back, and if necessary, you can use force! Do you understand? Speaking of this, Pang Gang stared at Hua Yan closely, and a blazing light shot out of his eyes.

"My lord, are you worried" Hua Yan looked at Pang Gang in surprise, and his heart was filled with shock.

"Yes, you can't have the heart to harm others, and you can't have the heart to prevent people. Can you do it? Speaking of this, Pang Gang's expression was solemn.

"Rest assured, my lordship, I will do what you order!" At this moment, Hua Yan was so excited that his whole body trembled, and he was so smart that he naturally wouldn't fail to hear the meaning of Pang Gang's words. Pang Gang's meaning is very clear, that is, if someone wants to seize power while Pang Gang is not there, then fuck him.

has been with Pang Gang for so long, he has seen Pang Gang's ambition very clearly, and he has long seen that Pang Gang is a person with great ambitions, a small Qingzhou will definitely not tolerate him, and his stage should be a broader field outside.

And he can only go further by following his pace, and perhaps in the near future, his juniors will be proud of themselves

As soon as the meeting ended, everyone mobilized the troops, the grain and grass, and in short, all the people mobilized.

And such a big movement naturally can't hide from others, in the yamen of the Qingzhou prefect, Wei Tongnian sighed after hearing the news, "He is finally going to send troops to North Korea, doesn't he know that this move will do him a hundred harms and no benefits?" ”

"Dad, don't think too much! Maybe a huge number of people have their own considerations! Wei Manyao on the side still comforted.

"Hmph, whether the Korean army is defeated or defeated, the impeachment of the court officials will fly like snowflakes to the emperor's dragon case, I don't understand, why doesn't he listen to people's persuasion?"

Wei Manyao was also silent, she was sensitive and faintly aware of Pang Gang's ambitions, but she didn't break it, and she didn't think that Pang Gang had done anything wrong, in Wei Manyao's opinion, this empire was terminally ill and hopeless, the only thing she could do was to break those rotten pots and jars together, and then re-establish a new order. But will Pang Gang be able to accomplish this mission?

Wei Manyao didn't know about this, the only thing she could do now was to silently observe the man, watching him become stronger step by step or being swallowed up by the wave of counterattack
