After determining the plan of action, everyone began to get busy, this time because it was 10,000 elites of the Manchu Tartars to fight, and I didn't know whether there were friendly troops to cooperate, for the sake of safety, Pang Gang decided to take away all the 3,000 soldiers newly trained by the Lingshan Guard, and transferred the original 300 soldiers trained by himself as a pro-army, this time Pang Gang decided to lead 3,300 soldiers, 100 night soldiers and 700 baggage soldiers, a total of 4,100 people to Hejian Mansion to resist the Qing army.

With Pang Gang's order, all the guards were busy, especially Huayan, at this time in the civil system of Lingshanwei, Huayan was the highest-level one, although he did not have his share in this expedition, but all the material mobilization and preliminary preparations had to pass through his hands, although he had Lin Feng, who was good at financial management, to help, but he was still very busy. On the contrary, Pang Gang, the big shopkeeper, rushed to Qingzhou with hundreds of people, what was he doing in Qingzhou at this time? There is no other way to ask for food or supplies.

"What? Do you want three hundred war horses? No, I don't have a war horse for you! A roar with anger came from the Qingzhou Command Envoy Yamen.

In the hall of the commanding envoy's yamen, Song Xinghe stared at Pang Gang like an angry tiger and roared, his eyes were wide open, and he stared at Pang Gang tightly, but the latter spread his hands as if he didn't see it: "My lord, the lowly soldiers are all foot soldiers, it doesn't matter if you walk, but you can't let the lowly ones not collect at night and rely on two legs to listen to the enemy's situation, without the war horse, the night without the war horse is like a bloodhound with broken legs." My lord, if you are like this, you will not be able to reach the river mansion on time. ”

"Bastard! Do you dare to disobey military orders? Song Xinghe's eyebrows almost straightened.

"It's not that you disobey military orders, but that you can't do it, you can't let your lowly position use two legs and a thief's four-legged horse to compare your strength, right?"

"You" Song Xinghe pointed at Pang Gang and the corners of his mouth squirmed for a while, but in the end he couldn't say a word, and finally softened and sighed: "Okay, but this official doesn't have so many war horses for you, at most one hundred and fifty, do you want to pull it down." ”

"Thank you, sir!" Pang Gang, who was secretly happy in his heart, hurriedly bowed down and thanked him, the current horse is not easy to find, especially the war horse, which is in short supply of resources. In the late Ming Dynasty, the lack of war horses has become an important factor restricting the development of cavalry in the Ming Dynasty. Since Pang Gang was promoted to Lingshan Wei Qianhu, although he sent people everywhere to look for and buy war horses, he had little success, and there were few horses among the people, let alone war horses. What's more, the cavalry's demand for war horses is not low, the difference between a good war horse and an ordinary horse is the foot strength, the second is endurance, the most important difference is the level of the spirit surname, the spirit surname of the high horse can quickly comprehend the meaning of the master, so on the battlefield than the ordinary horse to turn around much more freely, but also have to be trained to prevent it from hearing the gunshot, slashing and panicking, in short, in the Central Plains, where there is no special horse farm, it is almost impossible to buy war horses in the people.

After getting one hundred and fifty war horses, Pang Gang seemed to think of something again, and said: "My lord, now that he is on the outrageous army, this grain and grass can't be let out of his own right, right?" ”

"This" Song Xinghe couldn't help rubbing his teeth, and he was speechless for a while.

In all dynasties, whenever the imperial court sent troops, it was necessary to give people a pulling fee and prepare grain and grass materials, which was also an unwritten rule of all dynasties, otherwise who would give you your life, and this was the responsibility of Song Xing and the commander of Qingzhou. But now the question is where Song Xing and he can get food and pay to others, these more than 4,000 people eat horses every day is not a small amount, if Song Xing and he are afraid that he will become poor in less than three months.

As if seeing Song Xinghe's embarrassment, he smiled slightly, "My lord, the humble position will not embarrass you, you also know that the humble position was transferred to the river to resist the Qing soldiers this time, but it was because those gentry and rich families in Qingzhou City sued the lowly and black state, so they still have to come out of the money and grain to be chased." ”

"What? Do you still want them out? Song Xinghe grew up and looked at Pang Gang like a monster.

"Isn't that good? Or do you plan to pay the salaries and lowly duties directly from the commanding envoys? Pang Gang asked with a smile.

As soon as he heard this, Song Xinghe was speechless, and shook his head with a wry smile, Dead Dao friends are not dead and poor, let's let Pang Gang go and harm those gentry, who let them be remembered by this guy.

With the one hundred and fifty war horses sent down by Song Xinghe, Pang Gang returned to Lingshanwei and gave the order to open immediately tomorrow morning, and the atmosphere in Lingshanwei became even more tense.

At night, in a room that was decorated with joy, Pang Gang held Ruolan and the two in his arms, his head full of green silk could not cover her snow-white round shoulders, Pang Gang gently put his chin against his wife's hair, and gently sniffed the rich and seductive fragrance on her body, and her heart was quiet, and the pretty face of joy and shame completely wrote her love and yearning for her husband on her face, and her wonderful eyes were full of reluctant expressions.

Ruolan turned around gently, and a pair of jade arms wrapped her arms around her husband's thick and sturdy waist and cried softly: "Xianggong, you have to promise your concubine that you must return safely, and the slave does not seek glory and wealth from Xianggong, as long as you can be safe, it is better than anything else." ”

In this private space without others, Ruolan confided in her husband, and she could also cry to her closest people without any scruples, and reveal her truest thoughts.

Pang Gang gently stroked his wife's hair, chuckled and comforted: "Ruolan, don't worry, your husband and my life are tight, I will definitely work hard to eliminate the Tartars when I go to Hebei, and maybe I will earn a title for you." ”

"The slave doesn't want to do anything to the lady, the slave just wants to be a husband." Ruolan buried Hao's head tightly in Pang Gang's arms and shook her head desperately.

Looking at his wife, who was obviously very excited, Pang Gang didn't say anything, just patted her fragrant shoulder gently, and in order to divert her attention, his two big hands kept moving on her. Confucian skirts, petticoats, and small clothes flew away one after another, and soon a half-naked delicate body appeared in front of his eyes.

Under Pang Gang's caresses, the beautieth beauty who was already misty in her eyes writhed a little restlessly in her husband's arms, a strange fragrance was constantly secreting from her body, and a pair of big watery eyes were almost dripping.

Seeing that the wife in his arms was already emotional, Pang Gang poked his head and gently blew out the oil lamp at the head of the bed, and the room suddenly went dark, but soon there was a sound in the room with a coquettish, disobedient and begging voice, as well as a burst of coquettish gasps

Early the next morning, when Pang Gang finished putting on his helmet and armor under the service of Ruolan, Ling'er and others, and said goodbye to Ruolan who was reluctant and Ling'er who had some dark circles in his eyes and came to the school ground, at this time, including 700 baggage soldiers, 4,100 soldiers had already lined up in a neat formation and stood solemnly on the spot, allowing the cold wind to blow by, but no one made a sound.

In front of these soldiers stood their respective general flags, hundreds of households and other officers, Pang Gang boarded the parade platform, slowly looked around the soldiers below, they were wearing brand new red mandarin duck battle jackets and sheepskin jackets one by one, snow-white lapels turned out, and the outside was draped in a layer of chain mail, looking majestic, each holding a spear and bird gun in his hand, thousands of pairs of eyes stared at the parade platform in unison.

Pang Gang suppressed his excitement and said loudly: "Brothers, our Lingshan Guard is going to send troops, why do we want to send troops? As you all know, send troops to fight the Tartars. Now there are 10,000 Tartar soldiers to our Shandong to kill, the corpses are everywhere, our fathers and villagers and brothers and sisters are crying under the hooves of the Tartars, we are the Ming soldiers, it is our duty to protect the family and defend the country, and now the Ministry of War has issued an official document, so that I Lingshanwei immediately sent troops to defend Shandong and defend the Ming Dynasty. Now this official hereby declares a few forbidden laws, and you can abide by them, otherwise if you violate the military order, your official will not know you, and your officer's sword will not know you. ”

Pang Gang's words were filled with a murderous aura, and all the soldiers, whether officers or non-commissioned officers, looked at Pang Gang and listened.

"Smell the drums, don't cut the former! Those who don't retreat will be killed! Those who disturb the morale of the army are killed! Annihilate the silver and plunder women and children! Those who shake the hearts of the army are killed! Those who do not listen to orders will be beheaded"

A total of eight slashes were like a huge thunder hitting the hearts of the officers and soldiers present, looking at Pang Gang's serious expression and eyes with cold light, everyone knew that these military disciplines promulgated by Lord Qianhu were not a joke, and if anyone committed him, he would really not be soft.

After Pang Gang finished reading the eighteen slashes, he asked loudly, "Have you all remembered?" ”

"Remember!" The audience replied violently.

"Okay, let's go!"

With a wave of Pang Gang's hand, a hundred cavalry scouts went first, and a thousand pikemen followed, and the soldiers drove towards Qingzhou in a neat procession. When the procession drove out of Lingshanwei, the road of Lingshanwei was lined with secret military households, and they were here to bid farewell to their hometown soldiers. The eyes of these military households are full of reluctance and worry, this time to Hebei to fight with the Tartars, I don't know how many people can come back alive, since ancient times, a few people returned, they are naturally worried about their relatives.

Pang Gang led the horse and walked on the side of the team, and he softly instructed Hua Yan, who was walking next to him, to say: "Hua Dian, after the official leaves, you have to quickly train the second batch of recruits, now the strength of Lingshanwei is almost exhausted, and the defenders everywhere are extremely empty, if you encounter bandits or military disasters, you are powerless to resist, so in the next few months, you must regard military training as the top priority to grasp, do you understand?" ”

Hua Yan nodded and said solemnly: "Don't worry, my lord, Xia Guan understands that Xia Guan will definitely help you take good care of Lingshan Wei, and will never let anyone ruin your hard work." ”

"Good! That official will entrust Lingshanwei to you! ”

After Pang Gang finished instructing, he turned over and got on his horse and ran forward, when a loud military song sounded in front of him: "The Three Kingdoms generals are brave, Zhao Zilong is the first to be promoted, the heroes of Changhan Slope are the heroes, thousands of generals are retreated, and millions of soldiers are killed."
