The next day, Pang Gang took a thousand sergeants and dozens of carts temporarily hired to escort Wang Zhonghe and the confiscated silver taels, as well as the gold and silver, out of Dengzhou and marched towards Qingzhou, while a group of officials led by Lu Yingzhi could only stand in front of the government and stare dryly.

A Dengzhou official asked Lu Yingzhi tremblingly: "My lord, what should we do?" Those people took Wang and the Koreans away. ”

Lu Yingzhi's face changed several times in an instant, and it took a long time for a long time to roar out from between his teeth: "Shangzhuben, you must impeach this lawless and domineering Qiu Ba to the imperial court, and this official wants to let him die without a place to be buried!" ”

Not to mention Lu Yingzhi, who was immersed in anxiety and anger, Pang Gang, who was returning with dozens of carts, was chatting with Park Shunyi, the official of the internal guard from North Korea.

"Park Soon-yi, how did you come from North Korea?"

"Back to the adult, the villain came by boat."

"Did you drive it yourself?"

Park Shunyi asked a little puzzled: "Yes, what's wrong, is there something wrong?" ”

"Well, I'll just ask you casually, do you all know how to stumble?"

"Yes, except for Princess Jiayi, we are all good at boats." Park Soon-yi's answer was honest.

"Oh, that's right!"

Pang Gang said quietly and his mind turned, although there are no ships yet, but he has already considered another more important problem than shipbuilding, that is, if she wants to form her own fleet, then there must be sailors, and there must be a large number of sailors, but where do the sailors come from?

In his previous life, he had heard too much about the words "10 years of the army and 100 years of the navy", although in fact the construction of the navy does not have to be 100 years, but it can also be seen from this sentence that the construction cycle of the navy is definitely much longer than that of the army. Just like Pang Gang now, he promised that he could train a farmer who had just put down his hoe into a qualified sergeant within half a year, but if he was replaced by the navy, it would be good to train a landlubber into a person who could swim without seasickness within half a year. And this is only the basis of a sailor, if you want to train a qualified captain, it will take a longer period, he has heard in later generations that it takes at least twenty years for the Yankees to train a qualified captain. Of course, it won't take so long for the kind of ships that are still relatively primitive in this era, but Pang Gang believes that three or five years will definitely be indispensable.

However, due to the long-term ban on the sea and the understanding of the ocean, there are few people who are proficient in naval warfare. This is also a question that Pang Gang pondered along the way. Without a large number of qualified sailors and captains, who will drive the ship he cashed out?

Thinking of this, Pang Gang couldn't help but feel a little worried, to be honest, he didn't care about the life or death of the stick country over there, the reason why he promised to help was because if North Korea surrendered to the Manchu Dynasty, the powerful Huang Taiji would inevitably attack the Ming Dynasty more unscrupulously, such a result was not what Pang Gang was willing to see.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at this Park Shunyi with ill intentions, with an inexplicable look in his eyes, seeing Park Shunyi on horseback couldn't help but shudder, and always felt that this huge man's eyes revealed something that scared him.

At this time, Princess Jiayi Li Xuezhu, who was still dressed in men's clothes, urged Ma to trot up, she stared at Pang Gang with a pair of cute big eyes and said, "General Pang, will you really take the Ming Army to help us?" ”

"Well" After hearing Princess Jiayi's question, Pang Gang pretended to be embarrassed and thought for a while: "Your Royal Highness Princess, it is difficult for the official to answer this question to you, because manpower is sometimes poor, and there are some things that the official does not dare to guarantee that he will be able to do." ”

"What!" Li Xuezhu's already wide eyes became more rounded, and her cute apple face immediately turned red, and she said angrily: "You big liar, didn't you promise me to send troops to rescue my father?" You said yesterday that you could send troops, why do you regret it now? Liar, you big liar! ”

"Her Royal Highness the princess is angry, General Pang didn't mean that, don't misunderstand." Park Shunyi on the side was afraid that the princess would annoy the General Pang in front of him, and his country would really be finished, would he really want to go to Yanjing to ask Emperor Ming for help? By that time, even the daylily was cold.

Looking at Li Xuezhu, who was sitting on horseback and angry, and Park Shunyi, who couldn't help comforting her but had some questions on his face, although Pang Gang was a little embarrassed, he still said with a calm face: "Your Royal Highness Princess, in fact, this official doesn't want to save your father and mother, but now there is a very serious problem in front of us, although I also have some troops, but I can't let them swim over, right?" You must know that I am only a general of the army, not the commander of the navy, and the only few ships in my Ming Dynasty are tightly held in the hands of those sailor generals, and they will never ignore us without the emperor's holy decree. ”

"Uh, yes, what should I do?" These Li Xuezhu and Park Shunyi were also dumbfounded, they wanted to be people too much before, thinking that only soldiers and horses could send troops to rescue at any time, but now they found that North Korea and Shandong are separated by a sea, and there are so many people who can't just find a small boat and sneak over. After all, there are many things to consider in the past to carry the army, such as ordnance and armor, food, horses, artillery, etc., and if you really want to do it, it will make people sad to death.

Seeing that the two people from North Korea were dumbfounded, Pang Gang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "The official has also thought about it, the sea ship can be borrowed for the time being, but the most urgent problem now is that there are no qualified sailors." You also know that even if you can borrow a ship, if you don't have a sailor, it won't be useful if you borrow a ship, and that's where the boss gets in trouble. ”

"Oh, I see!" Only then did Li Xuezhu know that she had wronged this General Pang, and her originally angry expression suddenly eased, her big round eyes turned, and she looked at Park Shunyi next to her and said, "Master Park, do you see if we can mobilize some sailors from North Korea." ”

Park Shunyi pondered for a while, showing embarrassment, and said with a bitter face: "Your Royal Highness Princess, now most of our fleet is on Ganghwa Island, and most of the sailors are also over there.

Pang Gang felt a little unhappy when he heard Park Shunyi's words, he raised his eyebrows and said: "Park Shunyi, if you want this official to send troops to save your king, you must send this sailor to me, and if you have more officials, you only need one or two thousand sailors." ”

"What? One or two thousand is not much? The sweat on Pu Shunyi's forehead immediately fell, and he protested: "My lord, although our country also has some fleets and sailors, if you have to transfer one or two thousand people over all of a sudden, then there will be no one for our ships!" ”

"That's your business." Pang Gang unceremoniously interrupted Park Shunyi's words, "Since you want us to save your country, but you refuse to transfer even a few sailors, it shows that you are insincere, if this is the case, then please go back, this matter is not taken care of!" ”

"Don't be a huge man, you must not leave our country behind." Park Shunyi was stunned at once, they came to Daming for more than a month, and they suffered from Lu Yingzhi's eyes and blackmail, and now they finally met a general who was willing to send troops to help them, where did he dare to offend him, and hurriedly said: "Huge man, you can rest assured, the villain will return to China and ask my lord to send sailors for you to send, and he will not let you down." ”

"Well, that's right." Hearing that the other party agreed to his conditions, Pang Gang's originally fierce expression became smiling again, and he reached out and patted Park Shunyi's shoulder, "Don't worry, after those sailors come, the official will not treat them badly." ”

"That's nature, and the giant man will always be our best friend in North Korea." Seeing this huge man who turned his face more than a book, Park Shunyi secretly wiped a cold sweat on his forehead, and secretly said in his heart: "This huge man is really moody." ”

It's just that he didn't know that the huge man next to him also secretly said in his heart: "When these North Korean sailors come to Lao Tzu's territory, how can they be worthy of Lao Tzu's hard work if they don't blow up all the oil in their bones." ”

After finalizing this matter, everyone was speechless all the way, and finally arrived at their destination Qingzhou City at noon on the third day!

The towering Qingzhou City on the horizon is not comparable to the disrepaired Dengzhou City, which is as high as four zhang, four points and three zhang wide, and the city wall with a circumference of fifteen miles stands in front of everyone.

Li Xuezhu couldn't help but admire: "General Pang, this city of yours is really majestic, even our Kyoto is much smaller than it, if our Kyoto is as tall as this city, then don't be afraid of those hateful Manchurians." ”

Cheng Kai, who was beside Pang Gang, couldn't help but pout, and said in his heart, these feudal countries are feudal countries, and when they see Qingzhou City, they are surprised that the city is like this, if they see our capital, they must not be scared to death.

Who knew that Pang Gang sighed, "No matter how high and strong the wall is, there will always be a time when it will be broken, if a country no longer needs to build a city wall one day, then the country will be truly strong." ”

After Pang Gang's words were finished, everyone thought about it and was silent for a while
