Li Xuezhu and others followed Pang Gang and his party into Qingzhou City, and immediately felt that the atmosphere here is completely different from Dengzhou Mansion, where people come and go, and there are also businessmen, but what is different from Dengzhou is that the atmosphere here is surprisingly good.

Most of the people who come and go through the streets and alleys are full of faces that have not been bullied, and the smiles on their faces carry a hint of confidence, and the beggars and homeless people that are commonplace in Dengzhou are almost gone.

"General Pang." Park Shunyi, who had been following Pang Gang closely, asked curiously, "Where are all the beggars and homeless people in your Qingzhou Mansion?" Could it be that life here is really so stable? ”

Pang Gang smiled slightly, and before he could answer, Pang Gang's personal soldier captain Cheng Kai said proudly on the side: "Who said no, it turns out that there are many beggars and homeless people in our Qingzhou, but since the huge people took office, those beggars and homeless people have been guided to the health center to open up the wasteland, in our Qingzhou, as long as you have hands and feet, you can have work and a bowl of rice to eat, even the lonely and widowed old people have arrangements, and they will not be hungry, which is all the credit of our huge people." ”

"Hugh is babbling." Pang Gang glared at Cheng Kai, although his face showed a look of blame, but his heart was comfortable, and he thought: "No wonder people who can pat sycophants in the past and now are the fastest to be promoted, it can be seen that people like to listen to good words." ”

"Oh, it turns out that General Pang is not only a tiger general, but also so good at governing places." A hint of admiration appeared on Li Xuezhu's face, who had been listening to them, and her big round eyes rolled for a while, not knowing what she was thinking.

After two more streets, the 1,000 sergeants behind Pang Gang had already followed the officers to their respective establishments, and Pang Gang and more than 100 personal soldiers and Li Xuezhu and his party entered the command envoy's yamen.

When they came to the gate of the inner courtyard, Ruolan, who had already heard the news, had already led a group of servants and maids to greet them at the door.

Ruolan was wearing a set of snow-white petticoats at home today, with a pale yellow armor, looking noble and gorgeous, standing at the door with a smile, greeted her with a smile, and said softly after saying a blessing to Pang Gang: "The concubine has seen the master, and the master has been good all the way." ”

"If a working woman cares, everything is fine for her husband." Pang Gang got off the horse and handed over the reins to Cheng Kai, and Cheng Kai took the reins and a group of personal soldiers to the outer courtyard to settle.

Pang Gang and Ruolan said this, but found that Ruolan's gaze was always sweeping over Li Xuezhu behind him, and hurriedly introduced: "Ruolan, let me introduce to you, this is Princess Jiayi, the biological daughter of the head of the Korean state, and this is Park Shunyi, the official of the Korean domestic guard, and one of his subordinates. ”

Ruolan couldn't help but be surprised, for Kong Ruolan, this is a big deal, no matter how bad she is, she is also a princess.

Ruolan hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "Pang Kong's family has seen Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

"I can't help it, Mrs. Pang, please hurry up, I don't dare to be your big gift." and Li Xuelan, who begged Pang Gang, hurriedly took Kong Ruolan up and praised, "Lady Pang, you are so beautiful, even I am jealous." ”

Rulan pursed her lips and smiled, "What is there to be jealous of the concubine Pu Liuzi, but the princess looks like a fairy, if you change into women's clothes, you will definitely be able to charm a lot of people." ”

Listening to the two of them praising each other on the side, Pang Gang couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay, don't praise each other, Ruolan, you let people arrange Princess Jiayi's residence first, as for Park Shunyi, why don't you temporarily wronged you to live in the outer courtyard, and I will arrange for you to go to Wanghai Fort again, and then prepare a boat for you to go back." ”

"Yes, thank you General Pang for your arrangement." Park Shunyi and the others hurriedly bowed down and thanked them, and went up under the leadership of several personal soldiers.

After arranging Park Shunyi and his party, Pang Gang didn't care about resting, and dragged his tired body to the outer hall to attract Huayan Meeting.

"What?" My lord, you took down the commander of Dengzhou and fired his family?

Hua Yan was shocked after listening to Pang Gang's words, and now his knowledge has also increased greatly after his promotion to the Qingzhou Experience Division, and he is no longer comparable to the original cynical poor sour show, and suddenly he was shocked to hear that Pang Gang had taken down the command of Dengzhou, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

"My lord, you have taken a risky step, and it is said that you have controlled the defense of Dengzhou with lightning speed, but after all, you do not have the right to dispose of officials above the fourth grade, and if the court blames you, your future will be over."

Seeing Hua Yan's anxious appearance that he was almost jumping up, Pang Gang's heart warmed, knowing that he was worried about himself, so he waved his hand and said: "Hua Experience, you don't have to worry, the official has also thought about it along the way, we will send someone to escort Wang Zhong into Beijing on the one hand, and scatter silver on the other hand in the military department, we can cross this hurdle." ”

"This ...... That's all there is to it. Hua Yan sighed, still a little relieved, and then asked, "Do you really plan to help those North Koreans and send troops to North Korea?" Sending troops without the emperor's decree is tantamount to rebellion. ”

As soon as the word rebellion was spoken, the air in the room seemed to be condensed, and after a while, Pang just said leisurely: "Under normal circumstances, this official will naturally not do this, and he will not take the initiative to rebel." But this official will not learn from that Yue Wumu, as long as he does not go to that point, he will still be a general of the Ming Dynasty, and he will still contribute to the Ming Dynasty! ”

At this time, Pang Gang showed his attitude towards the Ming Dynasty for the first time in front of his subordinates, it has been more than a year since he came to this era, Pang Gang has been just silently developing his own power and strength, and has never revealed his thoughts, today he finally revealed his heart to this subordinate who he pulled up, although it is only a vague sentence, but it is enough to explain a lot of things.

Hua Yan's heart seemed to have poured a five-flavor bottle, and all the tastes of sweet and sour came up, he silently raised his head, looked at Pang Gang firmly and said: "My lord, my subordinates understand your ambitions, you can rest assured, no matter how you go, your subordinates will definitely follow you." ”

Hua Yan's sentence is also a disguised statement, which means that even if you rebel, boss, or become a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, I will stand on your side.

Pang Gang nodded with satisfaction after hearing Hua Yan's statement, it seems that this Hua Yan is still very sober-minded, and now Hua Yan and a large number of people in Qingzhou who follow Pang Gang, their interests have been firmly tied to Pang Gang, if Pang Gang has an accident and falls, they will never be good. Hua Yan also knows this, they have already firmly engraved a big word "Pang" on their brains, and they can't erase it in this life, even if Pang Gang wants to pull the flag and rebel, they can only follow, otherwise the end will be very miserable.

Looking at Hua Zheng's expression, Pang Gang smiled slightly, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Hua Experience, don't be nervous, things haven't come to this point yet, as long as we work up and down, it will be fine, after all, it is not thirty years ago, with the decline of the imperial court's control over the local area, many places have shown signs of supporting the army and self-respect, and our little is really nothing to be honest." ”

According to historical records, since the end of Chongzhen, the imperial court's deterrent effect on the local area has plummeted, and some generals began to support their own troops and ravage the locality. Among them, the most representative surname is Zuo Liangyu, the warlord of the late Ming Dynasty relied on the troops in his hands to listen to the orders of the imperial court, and if he didn't want to listen, he didn't want to listen, and the imperial court didn't dare to provoke him, for fear of forcing him to rebel, this is the situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the one with soldiers in his hand is the king of grass.

Hua Yan is a smart person, so he naturally understands what Pang Gang means, but he also admits that his boss's words are very reasonable, and now the situation in the imperial court is really delicate, although the civil official group still looks down on the military generals, but they have to rely more and more on the generals to protect their net worth, which is really a great irony.

After figuring out the key to this, Hua Yan asked in a low voice: "My lord, since you want to help those Koreans, where did the ships that crossed the sea come from?" You can't go to the water master to borrow it, and we don't have a water master in Shandong. ”

"Don't worry, I'll figure out a way about the ship, your most important job now is to train the three thousand recruits of Lingshanwei as soon as possible, I have already agreed with Laizhou in the past few days, and start to introduce their homeless people into Qingzhou as much as possible to reclaim wasteland, so you don't have to worry about the lack of manpower to open up the wasteland, hurry up and train the recruits well, and we will have more strength to protect ourselves with one more soldier, do you understand?"

"Yes, obedience!" Hua replied solemnly.

The two of them deliberated for a while, and after deciding who to escort Wang Zhong to Beijing, they did not come out of the conference hall in the lobby until evening.

Looking at the night sky that was already emitting bright moonlight, Pang Gang couldn't help but be slightly surprised, he didn't expect the two of them to discuss for two hours before it ended, it seemed that Ruolan must be in a hurry in the inner courtyard.

When Pang Gang stepped into the inner courtyard and walked into the house by moonlight, he found that Ruolan and Li Xuezhu were sitting at the dining table waiting for him, and Ling'er, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, saw the master coming back and immediately brought up a few plates of steaming dishes, and also brought water for Pang Gang to wash his hands and clean his face.

At this time, Ruolan smiled and said to Pang Gang: "Husband, you are finally here, if you don't come again, Your Royal Highness the princess will be starved to death." ”

Li Xuezhu's white and tender face turned red, and she said coquettishly: "How can I have it, people just said such a sentence casually, Sister Ruolan took it seriously." ”

"Huh!" Pang Gang glanced at them curiously, he didn't expect that in such a short period of time, the two of them would be called sisters, it seems that Ruolan's communication methods are really not weak.......
