As soon as Pang Gang's words came out, everyone's hearts moved, and everyone in Pang Gang's army had seen the sophistication of firearms in the army, and they had already seen it with their own eyes, if they could equip it, the combat effectiveness of the army would be able to improve a lot immediately.

Liu Zeqing hurriedly asked, "I don't know how much this kind of Lu Mi Gong sells?" If the price is suitable for my brother, I also want to buy a few hundred to try. ”

Pang Gang thought for a while and said: "This kind of Lumi gun is complicated to make, and the output is not high, so the price cannot be too low, it is estimated that the price will be about twenty taels of silver, if Brother Liu wants a younger brother, he can contact you for you." ”

"Twenty taels and one!" Liu Zeqing rubbed his teeth and gasped, "This is inevitably too high, a medium-class war horse is only thirty silver each, and a high-grade war horse is forty taels, you two birds have to be replaced by a high-grade war horse." ”

Pang Gang shook his head and said: "Brother Liu's words are different, the production of Lu Mi Gong is too complicated, so even the Franc machine man can't make it on a large scale, the so-called rare is expensive, but the younger brother still has a batch of inventory in his hand to exchange for war horses, if Brother Liu has extra war horses to sell, the younger brother can make the decision to adjust the price to a medium horse for two bird guns, and a high-grade war horse for three bird guns." ”

"Brother, do you want to change horses?" Liu Zeqing groaned, and finally shook his head and sighed: "I am short of war horses in Shandong, and I don't have many in my hands, brother, if you want to change war horses, you can ask Ma Zongbing and Wang Zongbing, their territory is adjacent to the Mongols and Tartars, and it is naturally much easier to obtain war horses than our people." ”

"I see." Pang Gang nodded thoughtfully, and then said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you don't have a war horse, if Brother Liu wants to buy this kind of Lu Mi Gong, just come to the junior brother, and the junior brother will naturally give you a preferential price at that time." ”

"Okay, I'll talk to you in a few days." Liu Zeqing also knew that this was not a place to talk about buying and selling, so he nodded with a smile and said no more.

After talking to Liu Zeqing, several general soldiers such as Li Chongzhen, Zu Dale, and Ma Rulong came to ask him about the purchase of Lu Mi guns, but no one was stupid enough to ask him where they bought the bird guns from those Franco merchants, presumably they also knew that it was a livelihood for people to eat, and they would definitely not easily reveal it to others.

At this banquet, Pang Gang received an order of 1,2300 Lu Mi guns, and everyone made an appointment to pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other after the battle, but what made Pang Gang a little disappointed was that he was most looking forward to Zu Dashou and Shanxi General Wang Pu did not come to him to buy bird guns, which not only made Pang Gang muttered a little in his heart, could it be that these two people are all cavalry and don't need buddies' bird guns?

However, this question was finally answered with the end of the banquet, when Pang Gang walked out of the big tent and was about to return to the camp, a family member walked over to Pang Gang and knelt down on one knee and reported: "The huge man please stay, my family has invited the huge man to talk to the tent." ”

Pang Gang's footsteps paused, and he asked in a deep voice, "Who is your family?" Is there anyone else? ”

The family replied respectfully: "My lord is the ancestor of the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, and the general soldier of Datong is also waiting for you there. ”

After listening to this family's words, Pang Gang smiled, it seems that his war horse that formed the cavalry has been found

When night fell, after coming out of Zu Dashou's camp, Pang Gang's mind still recalled the personable Wang Pu and the majestic Zu Dashou with a dignified face, one of these two was evaluated as a runaway general by later generations, and the other was a character included in "The Biography of Erchen", seeing them Pang Gang always had a feeling of total time and space confusion in his heart.

Shicai was in the big tent, Zu Dashou and Wang Puruoran unsurprisingly wanted to use the war horses in their hands to exchange for the well-made Lumi guns, after some bargaining, Pang Gang bit a batch of high-grade war horses can only be exchanged for three Lumi guns, and a batch of medium war horses can only be exchanged for two prices, Pang Gang knows that now the entire Ming Dynasty has only himself has this kind of well-made Lu Mi guns, which is the only scorpion, if the monopoly will not sit on the ground and raise the price, Pang Gang is too inferior.

In the end, the two had no choice but to agree to the trading conditions proposed by Pang Gang, and the two exchanged 1,100 war horses for Pang Gang's 2,000 Lumi guns and a batch of lead bullets and gunpowder.

"Knock Knock"

The next day, as soon as the sky was slightly bright, the drum of the gathering troops sounded, and the generals who were woken up in their sleep were busy dressing up and came to the tent of the Chinese army to gather, at this time Lu Xiangsheng looked solemn, and when he saw the generals arrive, he said loudly with a hint of eagerness: "Everyone, the right people don't receive reports at night, and the Tartars have pulled out the camp overnight and retreated to the north." ”

"What? The Tartars retreated! At first hearing the news, the generals couldn't help but be in an uproar, they have seen the Tartars arrogant and domineering more often over the years, when they saw the Tartars silently withdrawing their troops overnight, this kind of thing is simply a shame for the arrogant Tartars.

Li Chongzhen stepped forward and said: "Inspector Lu, is it a mistake by the spies, the last general has never heard of the Tartars withdrawing overnight over the years, and yesterday it was said that although the Tartars had a lot of damage, they were not so injured that they let the Tartars withdraw overnight." ”

Lu Xiangsheng smiled bitterly: "I don't believe it either, but I have told this governor that the camp of the Tartars is a mess now, and if you don't believe it, you can check it yourself." ”

"This" The generals looked at each other, and they always felt that this thing was weird, when did the Tartars be so unbeaten?

Someone doubted: "Didn't the Tartars deliberately show weakness and set up an ambush to lure our army to pursue them?" ”

"It's hard to say, there are a lot of Tartar horses, and it is very possible to deliberately lay an ambush halfway." The generals talked a lot, and they said everything.

Only Pang Gang, who was at the end of the line, shook his head secretly, it seemed that the generals were still frightened by the Qing soldiers' accumulation of power over the years, they just thought about whether the Qing soldiers would set up an ambush in the middle, but they only didn't think of the reaction of the Qing soldiers after suffering heavy casualties. According to Pang Gang's estimates, the casualties suffered by the Qing troops after entering the customs were enough to be about 10,000 people, such heavy casualties were enough to make any commander of the Qing army crazy, the Manchu Qing with a thin population was not as many soldiers as the Ming Dynasty, as long as the casualties exceeded 5,000, it was a big defeat. Pang Gang estimated that Azig must not be able to hold on this time, so he withdrew his troops overnight.

Looking at the generals who were talking, Pang Gang couldn't help but stand up and said: "Inspector Lu, if you don't say a word, please ask for the permission of the supervisor." ”

Lu Xiangsheng said kindly: "This governor is not a hall of words here, and Chaodong can speak freely if he has something to say, and he does not need to be restrained. ”

Pang Gang arched his hand and said with a smile: "Then the lowly position is bold, the lowly position thinks that it doesn't matter whether the Tartars are really retreating or fake retreating, the important thing is that we must not let the Tartars withdraw so easily. Besides, we have an army of 80,000 here, even if we discard the soldiers who were killed and wounded yesterday, we can always make up an army of 60,000 or 70,000, right? As long as we 60,000 or 70,000 people are hugging together, we will chase after us so openly, and we don't have to be afraid of any tricks of the Tartars. ”

As soon as Pang Gang's words were finished, all the inside of the big rise fell silent, everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and no one made a sound.

After a long time, I heard Liu Zeqing's rough voice speak, "Yes, in vain, we are all general soldiers and deputy generals, what Brother Pang said is reasonable, no matter what tricks the Tartars have, are so many of us still afraid that he will not succeed?" You must know that the Tartar army still carries tens of thousands of people and so many looted property from my Ming Dynasty, it must be impossible to go fast, they have to divide people to take care of the people and property, and on the other hand, they have to fight with us, I Lao Liu doesn't believe that those Tartars can have three heads and six arms? ”

Listening to Liu Zeqing's words, everyone's eyes also began to light up, "Yes, the army of the Tartars has gathered the property and food they plundered in the south this time, how can I say that there are hundreds of thousands of taels of property, if you can grab these things."

Thinking of this, the generals only felt a hot breath rise from their chests, and their eyes shone brightly.

Wang Pu was the first to stand up and ask Lu Xiangsheng for his life; "Inspector Lu, Pang Qianhu and General Liu are right, the Tartars fled in a hurry, it is the time when our army is pursuing, and the last general is not willing to open the way for the vanguard to supervise the division."

As soon as everyone heard this, Ma Rulong, the chief soldier of Suzhou Town, immediately stood up, "Chief soldier Wang, you are not right, why are you always the people of Shanxi Town as the pioneer, if it is the turn of our Suzhou Town to be the pioneer." ”

"Don't make any noise, this time it should be our Guan Ning Iron Cavalry, you are not as good as our Guan Ning Iron Cavalry in kung fu on horseback, right?" In the end, even Zu Dashou couldn't help but stand up.

Looking at the noisy generals, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but cry and laugh, he waved his hand and said loudly: "Okay, don't argue, everyone, the governor has already made a decision, this time let"

"Report!" Suddenly, a sergeant suddenly strode in and reported to Lu Xiangsheng: "Dongchang Admiral Cao Gonggong has arrived with the holy decree!" ”

"What emperor has a holy decree?"

Everyone was taken aback when they heard this, at this time, Emperor Chongzhen sent someone to announce the decree, could it be that something happened in the capital?
