With Abatai's order, the gongs rang out, and the Qing soldiers who were originally densely surrounded in front of the city of Dezhou retreated like a tide, and the Ming troops on the city wall cheered in unison when they saw that the Qing soldiers had really retreated, "The Tartars are going to retreat!"

Ji Ruxing didn't know when he also went down to the city tower and came to the city wall to cheer with the army, and the dignified officials who the literati paid attention to were thrown out of the clouds by him, and he excitedly came to Pang Gang's side and shouted incoherently: "Pang Qianhu, the Tartars have withdrawn, thanks to God, the Tartars have really retreated." ”

Pang Gang looked at the happy and incoherent prefect of Texas, smiled slightly and did not speak, but watched the Qing soldiers outside the city withdraw in an orderly manner, and couldn't help but feel a little emotionally that now is the stage of the rise of the Qing army's national strength.

When Pang Gang was looking out, he found that several Qing soldiers came to the city wall under the cover of several large shields, and a Qing soldier cautiously stretched his head out of his shield and shouted: "My Daqing Rao Yu Baylor respects you all heroes and decides to withdraw from the Dezhou Mansion, but I hope you can let us collect the remains of those warriors who died in battle!" ”

Pang Gang on the city wall sneered: "Are you finally going to withdraw your troops?" But Daming is not a place for you to come and go, you can go if you want, but you have to leave something! ”

The Qing soldier held back his anger and asked, "What do you want?" ”

"If you don't want anything, you just need to keep the people and property of the Ming Kingdom who are currently imprisoned in your camp and get out!"

As soon as Pang Gang's words came out, everyone was shocked. Ji Ruxing hurriedly said: "Pang Qianhu, thank God that the Tartars are willing to withdraw from the army, why do you still have to make conditions with them?" ”

Yi Jiang didn't speak, just shook his head gently, and then turned his gaze to the outside of the city, but he didn't speak with a faint expression.

The Qing soldiers outside the city did not dare to stay for a long time after listening to Pang Gang's words, and quickly retreated and reported Pang Gang's words to Abatai.

Abatai didn't speak, but a Jia Lazhangjing next to him jumped up, "What, you want us to return the people and property of the Ming Kingdom that we have stolen to them?" Don't! These things were desperately grabbed by our warriors, and I will never give them back! ”

It's just that this Jialazhangjing's words have not been responded to by many people, and everyone is staring at Abatai, waiting for him to make a final decision.

Abatai sighed softly, waved his hand weakly, and said, "Give them back, give them all back, just because we haven't been to Texas this time." ”

"Rao Yu Belle, there are thousands of these people, if we are escorted back to Shengjing, then we will have thousands more slaves with the blue flag, is it just like that?"

"Bastard, didn't you hear me? Let it go, let it all go! Abatai was furious, "If you don't let go of yourself and go up and snatch the remains of those thousands of warriors?" Or are we going to leave them all here? ”

"This!" After hearing this, this Jia Lazhangjing was also speechless, and lowered his head like a frosted eggplant. If this is the case, if the clansmen who set the blue flag after returning to Shengjing knew that they had come up with the idea to let the remains of thousands of warriors remain under the city of Texas, those clansmen would have to find themselves desperately.

Soon, the Qing soldier turned back and told Pang Gang on the city wall that it was the Great Qing Dynasty that Rao Yu Beile had agreed to Pang Gang's conditions and returned the people and seized property in the Qing army camp to the Dezhou Mansion.

Soon after, groups of people were driven by the Qing soldiers to the city of Dezhou, and the Qing soldiers shouted behind the people: "The people of the Ming Kingdom have been delivered, and you should let us collect the bodies of the fallen soldiers." ”

Pang Gang nodded, let dozens of soldiers go up and down the city wall from the spider plant of the city wall, and guided the people to the other side of the city gate to enter the city.

"Now we can rein in the corpses, right?" Qingbing interpreter asked.

"And what about the goods you plundered? You know, my last name is very good, and if you forget, I don't mind using a cannon to help you remember. At this time, Pang Gang was like a calculating rich man, he didn't want to eat at all, and he saw Ji Ruxing and Yi Jiang on the city wall secretly smiling bitterly, and it is estimated that there are probably not many masters in the entire Ming Dynasty who dare to bargain with the Tartars like this and even make intimidating words.

"Don't worry, our Great Qing Kingdom has always been about credibility." The translator gritted his teeth and waved his hand, and more than a hundred Qing soldiers came to the city with dozens of carts, and the translator shouted at the city wall: "This general, your things are here, now you can let us collect the corpses, right?" ”

Pang Gang tilted his head, and several Ming soldiers who had been waiting outside the city wall stepped forward to open the boxes on several cars, looked through them carefully for a while, and nodded to Pang Gang. Pang Gang waved his hand lightly, "Forget it, although they are all worthless goods, presumably you have hidden a lot of them, but the official doesn't care so much about you, you can bring those dead people back." ”

As soon as Pang Gang's words came out, this Qing soldier vomited blood in a mouthful, Nima's, we have killed thousands of people on this trip, but we haven't even fished a single hair, and you are still talking about cool things on it, but he also knows that he is not qualified to say anything to others now, so he has to retreat stupidly.

After a while, under Pang Gang's order, the muzzles of rows of bird guns aimed outward and more than a dozen tiger squat cannons with black holes retracted back to the head of the city, and then a large number of Qing army auxiliaries and followers also hurried to the outside of the city to carry away the bodies of the Qing soldiers who were killed outside the city.

Seeing the corpses of nearly 2,000 Qing soldiers outside the city being pulled away, the soldiers on the city wall and Ji Ruxing, Yi Jiang and others were also secretly sorry in their hearts, what a great merit it would be if the heads of these thousands of Tartars were handed over, I am afraid that it is not impossible to even be promoted to the third level.

However, Pang Gang was not worried, there were hundreds of Tartar heads in his convoy who were pickled with lime, and when they arrived in the capital and handed it to the military department, Lingshanwei's share of credit would definitely not be able to run.

Soon the Qing soldiers collected the corpses of their own dead soldiers, and their trumpets sounded one after another. I saw them in a formation, and finally they merged into a large area. Looking down from the top of the city, there is another red and blue ocean flag, among which the huge woven gold dragon is particularly eye-catching. They rode slowly out of the camp, their dense, shining blades still shining brightly in the sunlight that began to warm.

However, for the current Lingshan guards, the Qing soldiers are nothing more than this, and the faint sense of fear that they used to hear about the Qing soldiers has long disappeared without a trace.

Looking at the figure of the Qing soldiers in the distance, Pang Gang said secretly: "Abatai, you definitely didn't think that we would meet again soon!" ”

After the Qing troops withdrew, the city of Dezhou that night fell into a sea of joy, the soldiers and civilians of the Dezhou Mansion were excited and difficult to themselves, the prefect Ji Ruxing was still a kind of general who set up a banquet in his hall, when he was halfway through the drink, Ji Ruxing asked Pang Gang with a big tongue: "Pang Qianhu, although the Tartars of this mansion have been withdrawn, but I am afraid that they will come back, you are still staying in Texas for a period of time, you can rest assured that this mansion will never let you suffer." ”

Pang Gang replied with a smile: "Lord Ji, the lower officials also want to stay in Texas to enjoy the blessings, but the lower officials don't have this life, the official document of the military department is clearly written, you must arrive in the capital before mid-March, otherwise you will be severely punished, the lower officials have a few heads and dare to work against the military department, you must know that Lord Yang Sichang is known for his rigorous management of the army!" ”

As soon as Yang Sichang was mentioned, Ji Ruxing's drunkenness immediately woke up for the most part, Yang Sichang was respected as Yang Ge Lao, his methods can be said to be known to the whole dynasty, if his words reached his ears, he would deal with himself A small prefect is not as easy as crushing an ant to death?

Pang Gang looked at Ji Ruxing, who was a little disappointed in his heart, and said with a smile in his heart: "Of course, Ji Fu prefect doesn't have to worry, today the lower officials plan to divide half of the property left by the Tartars to the soldiers who fought bloody battles in Texas, and the rest of the lower officials plan to be used as military salaries, what do you think?" ”

As soon as he heard the silver, Ji Ruxing's eyes lit up, and his eyes narrowed into a slit and said happily: "In this way, there are thousands of households, and the official must distribute all this silver to the hands of those soldiers." ”

Pang Gang smiled faintly, automatically filtered out this sentence, and then asked: "Master Ji, since the Tartars have retreated, the lower officials plan to leave tomorrow, but there is not much food and grass in the lower official army, you see"

Ji Ruxing, who had just received the benefits of others, waved his hand and agreed very happily: "No problem, this official will let people supplement you with 500 stone of grain to ensure that you can go to the capital with enough food and drink." ”

"Thank you, Lord Ji!" Seeing Ji Ruxing so refreshing, although Pang Gang knew that it was the credit of the silver, he still thanked him.

At this time, Yi Jiang, who had been drinking and not speaking next to him, spoke, "Huge man, now that the Tartars have just retreated, the official estimates that they are also rushing to the capital, aren't you afraid of colliding with the Tartars when you go on the road tomorrow?" You know, they just suffered a big loss at your hands, and they can't help but kill you in a hurry? ”

Pang Gang felt that this cold-faced and warm-hearted Yi Jiang was sincerely thinking about them, and said with a warm smile in his heart: "Lord Yi, don't worry, I can defeat the Tartars for the first time and defeat them for the second time, besides, now we are in the land of the Ming Dynasty, what is there to be afraid of." This official once remembered that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had said when he was chasing the Huns: Kou can go to me, and I can go! This official is not talented and does not dare to compare himself with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but he is also willing to follow the example of the ancients
