On a yellow path, the weeds along the road have withered and are covered with a thin layer of snowflakes. Suddenly, from a distance, there was the sound of horses' hooves, and experienced people could tell from the sound of horses' hooves that at least a hundred horsemen were coming from a distance.

Pang Gang was still frowning on the horse, and after coming out of the prefect's yamen, there was a faint worry on his face, and the people around him could see it, but Pang Gang didn't say anything and everyone didn't dare to ask.

Riding a horse and walking on the trail, Pang Gang was still thinking about what Wei Tongtong said this morning, if there is a rebellion of displaced people in Qingzhou, it will inevitably cause a large area of turmoil, and Lingshanwei, which is close to Qingzhou, will inevitably be affected, so let alone develop in Lingshanwei with peace of mind, I am afraid that even self-protection will be a problem.

"I'm still too weak now!"

Pang Gang let out a long sigh, if he had 10,000 elite soldiers in his hands, not even 5,000 elite soldiers in his hands, the chaos in Qingzhou would be nothing at all, and whoever dared to mess up the army would definitely crush him to powder.

Pang Gang carefully calculated in his heart, and now his Wanghai Fort is full of more than 400 soldiers, although it is more than enough to guard the Wanghai Fort, but if he goes to the huge Qingzhou City like this, he can't even afford to bubble.

And the number of Lingshanwei's troops is only a few hundred, and they have not been trained for a long time, even if they are used to suppress the rebellion of the homeless people, Pang Gang is a little worried about whether they can be competent. In this case, the attitude of Song Xinghe, the commander of Qingzhou, has become the key, if Song Xinghe is willing to mobilize troops from other guards to settle in Qingzhou, then it can naturally deter those lawless homeless, if Song Xinghe is unwilling, it will be troublesome.

Pang Gang let out a long breath and said to himself: "Forget it, do your best to obey the destiny of heaven!" ”

At this time, Bin Shiqian, who was originally walking behind, rushed up and asked: "Huge man, is there anything troublesome about seeing the adults coming all the way over?" If you don't dislike it, you can talk about it, and maybe you can share your worries with your humble position. ”

Pang Gang glanced at Bin Shiqian, and then told Bin Shiqian about the Qingzhou refugees.

Bin Shiqian also frowned after hearing this, and only after a while did he speak: "My lord, I have also heard about the affairs of the displaced people in Qingzhou, but I didn't expect it to be so severe, if it is really as the Wei prefect said, there are 50,000 displaced people in Qingzhou City, then once it is provoked by the gangsters, there is a ninety percent chance that it will turn into a riot, and if it turns into a riot, Qingzhou City will be destroyed." As the saying goes, there are no eggs under the nest, and our Lingshanwei will inevitably be affected, so that the whole Shandong may become another Shaanxi and Henan! ”

"yes!" Pang Gang said with some sorrow: "You know the situation of my Lingshan Guard best, there are only a few hundred soldiers available, and you can't protect yourself, how can you suppress the riot!" ”

The speaker had no intention of listening, and when he heard Pang Gang talk about this Bin Shiqian, his face was also red, and they had two general flags under each of the 100 households in name, and there were 112 soldiers, but in fact, it would be good for each of them to make up 50 or 60 soldiers now. On the other hand, the Pang Qianhu in front of him already had hundreds of soldiers when he was a hundred, and his people were really far behind him.

Bin Shiqian hesitated and asked: "My lord, I think it is better to leave this matter to the commander so that the adult can handle it, is it a bit too much for us to do this?" ”

Pang Gang sighed, "Bin Baihu, are you willing to be an official and be idle, now you don't know the situation of the entire Qingzhou army, Lingshanwei, Andongwei, Qianniuwei The three guards, we still have some troops in Lingshanwei, and the rest of the guards can send troops to support Qingzhou?" They're rotting for a long time. Where do you ask Commander Song to find soldiers, in the end, it is not our Lingshan Guard who has to send troops. ”

Bin Shiqian was also silent when he heard this, once upon a time, how could the officers and soldiers of the Daming Guard Station, who had once shocked the world and beat the invincible Mongolian iron cavalry of the Yuan Dynasty to the ground, could not even deal with a little mob.

After being silent for a while, Pang just said fiercely: "The most important thing now is to disperse those displaced people, and we must not let them gather together, otherwise it will cause a catastrophe sooner or later." Otherwise, we Lingshanwei will have to finish the game, and the most important thing now is food! ”

After saying that, Pang Gang clamped the horse's belly between his legs, and the fiery red war horse galloped forward

After hurrying and hurrying, Pang Gang and his party finally arrived at Wanghai Fort in the afternoon, and after entering Wanghai Fort, Pang Gang first found Kong Wen, a cheap old man who was preparing to go to Qingzhou to continue looking at the house.

"Father-in-law, how much food do you have in your hands now?" Pang Gang was not polite, and asked directly as soon as he entered the door.

Seeing Pang Gang's anxious appearance, although Kong Wen was a little puzzled, he said very happily: "Last time we bought grain in Yangzhou, our family also bought some in case of emergency, and now there are about more than 2,500 stones left, what?" Do you need food right now? ”

Pang Gang took a long breath and said, "Yes, the more food I need, the better, now Qingzhou City is about to be messed up."

Pang Gang told Kong Wen in detail about the increasing number of displaced people in Qingzhou City, which would cause a riot at any time, and finally said: "The only way to resolve it now is to separate those displaced people, and it is the most feasible way to collect them into military households in the guard, but what is needed to collect the displaced people is a large amount of food, so the son-in-law wants to borrow food from you, the more the better." ”

After hearing this, Kong Wen said without hesitation: "Okay, the old man immediately asked people to allocate two thousand three hundred stones of grain with you, if it is not enough, the old man will send someone to buy grain from Yangzhou." ”

After listening to Kong Wen's words, Pang Gang made up his mind: "Enough, with more than 2,000 stones of grain, it is enough for us to last for more than a month, and this is a matter for the government, you can't just let you contribute, it's time for those rich families in Qingzhou to let them have some blood, I will immediately send troops to Qingzhou Mansion now, Qingzhou must not be chaotic!" ”

Two days later, Qingzhou commanded the embassy

The atmosphere in the study room with red bricks and green tiles was a little dull, and Wei Tongnian was sitting with Song Xinghe next to the bookcase and was relatively speechless.

Wei Tongnian asked: "Lord Song, tell the official the truth, how many soldiers can the current commander of the yamen to help the prefect's yamen maintain order?" ”

Song Xinghe said with a wry smile: "This official told you a long time ago, and now there are less than 1,000 people who can be drawn out of the entire command envoy yamen, including the family members of this official. ”

"And what about the guards in various places, can't they send out people? Andongwei, Qianniuwei, and Lingshanwei have more than 3,600 troops according to regulations, so can't they draw thousands of people to Qingzhou? ”

Song Xinghe smiled bitterly: "Lord Wei, in front of the real person, my old Song does not tell lies, my Daming Guard has long been eroded, and this is the case everywhere, my three guards in Qingzhou are also better than the Lingshan Guard led by Pang Qianhu, and the other two guards can have five hundred soldiers, how can you expect them to send troops to Qingzhou Mansion." ”

Wei Tongnian gritted his teeth, and shouted in a low voice with some gaffes: "Lord Song, as the commander of Qingzhou Mansion, if there is a rebellion, it will be difficult for the official to escape the blame, but as the commander of the capital, can you run?" ”

Song Xinghe saw Wei Tongnian's gaffe and knew that he was red-eyed, but he didn't get angry, but glared at him and said, "Don't you know when you're an old man?" It's just that the situation is rotten, what can the old man do, for today's plan, the only way to do this is to divert those displaced people according to what Pang Qianhu said, and only in this way can the hidden dangers be eliminated. ”

Wei Tongnian said impatiently: "But the official has already gone to those rich households, and they always refuse to give food, saying that disaster relief is the business of the government, and it is already very good for them to be able to give porridge as a gentry." But they didn't want to think about whether the things they gave could also be called porridge, and the official had also seen it, and those porridges were so rare that they could show people's figures! ”

When he went to those rich households to raise grain, those rich families were extremely stingy one by one, don't they know that if there is a riot in Qingzhou, they will all be finished?

Song Xinghe didn't pick up the stubble when he heard this, this is a long sigh, these rich people are all powerful, although they don't hold any official positions, but they all have someone to support them in the court, if they move, maybe someone will sue the capital the next day.

When the two of them were helpless, someone outside the door came to report: "My lord, Lingshan Wei Qianhu Pang Gang is just asking to see him outside the house!" ”
