"Sister, look at the fate between two young people. It is constantly being cut off. No matter how much trouble they made before, they are still pulled together in the end. That is what the emperor has decided. If you say that there is only one in the world, it is fate."
In the back office of the garrison, Aunt Liu smiled with a face full of wrinkles. She pulled Pang Yu's mother and kept talking. Cheap Mom was also smiling, and Cheap Dad was drinking tea with Uncle Liu. Pang Yu sat on the side with a pale face.
It was not good. Although he had won a big victory, the aftermath was more complicated than he thought. He originally planned to escort King Sweeper to Pukou, but the rogue bandits in Yinghuo Mountain had not decided on a direction. Although they did not dare to enter Anqing in large numbers,
However, there was still a lot of looting along the mountain. His plan was vetoed by Shi Kefa, which delayed the trip to Nanjing. Fortunately, the bandits also had to eat, and Yinghuo Mountain could not support so many people. Since it was impossible to go to Anqing,
At present, Fatty Zhang and Hun Shiwan have come out of the mountain and crossed Lu'an Prefecture to the east. Jiangpu Liuhe is within the military front again. Pang Yu is waiting for Zhang
Guowei summoned Hao to go to Jiangpu to aid the suppression. However, he did not wait for the notice of reinforcements and suppression, nor did he wait for the edict for promotion. Instead, he received an imperial edict for forced marriage.
After Shi Kefa received the reply, he went to the Liu family. Aunt Liu didn't wait a day, so she took the two elders of the Pang family to Anqing together. It was said that she came to propose marriage.
Pang Ding's voice whispered in his ear, "Master, with your current valuation, this will be a loss to my grandma's family."
Pang Yu snorted and turned to look at Pang Ding, who was approaching, "The outcome has not yet been decided. Isn't it just an edict? I will not accept your order from the outside."
"Well, young master, you are not out. This is the garrison office. Shi Daotai has promised to drink your wedding wine."
"What does he know? How can he make the final decision on my marriage?"
"It's not the Taotai who makes the decision, it's the emperor who makes the decision. Aunt Liu is here to propose marriage, and it will be decided today."
"It's settled by whoever said it. Everything can be discussed. Young master, I even arrested the sweeper king. The eight thieves fled. It's not a problem to deal with him and Aunt Liu." Pang Ding looked up and looked outside at this time, and quickly patted Pang Ding.
Looking over Yu's shoulder, Pang Yu turned around and saw that his mother and everyone had gone to the courtyard. Since this back office is still the office space of the Zan Painting Room, the temporary main room in the west wing is very narrow.
The bacon I just brought was all placed outside. My mother asked two guards to carry it to the kitchen without asking Aunt Liu to help. Aunt Liu had nothing to do at this time, so she walked to the edge of the pond and looked at the fish under the rockery.
Pang Yu immediately went out and approached Aunt Liu, "Aunt Liu, let's discuss it."
Aunt Liu saw Pang Yu in the blink of an eye, and immediately took three steps back. Her heels hit the edge of the pool, and she almost fell into the pond. Pang Yu hurried to pull it, but Aunt Liu didn't reach out to grab it. She used it in a hurry.
She stepped onto an iron bridge, her waist was so straight, she staggered for a moment and finally stood firm. She quickly took two steps back to the side, stretched out her hand to Pang Yu, and said with a serious face, "Brother Yu, we can
If you have something to say first, just as you said before, our family has given out the betrothal gift, and we will be a family from now on. With your Nine Yang Qi, this disaster has been resolved. Don't say anything else. If you tell me again, I won't
get in a word,
We’ll talk about it later in court.”
"It's true that the white-bearded god has said something again. I need to change what I said before slightly. My nephew can't hide it from you."
"My aunt won't listen to the fairy's words. He is a fairy after all, so how can he keep his word?"
Pang Yu took a step closer and said, "Everything is easy to discuss. Auntie, don't worry. My nephew and I are doing it for the best of both families. We have been neighbors for so many years, and my nephew will never harm you."
Aunt Liu said firmly, "Aunt Liu didn't say that you wanted to harm anyone, but you just refused to discuss it. Aunt Liu, I have lived so long to understand this truth."
Pang Yu asked curiously, "What's the point?"
"This and wrong are all discussed. If we don't discuss it, there will be no right and wrong. Aunt Liu, I..." Aunt Liu patted herself, "Nothing will be discussed in the future."
After saying this, she rubbed her hands on her clothes and hurried around Pang Yu.
…
"Here, for those who are already married, the house can be divided into a bigger one." In the lobby of the garrison office, Pang Yu rubbed his red nose and continued, "Let the gambling stall clear out the house deeds. You need to check the household houses here. They are of different levels.
The officers received different houses. If the house was damaged, they found someone to repair it and issued it to them.
An officer cannot be given a bad house."
"How to do it in the accounts?"
"The accounts are all recorded as the purchase of the Garrison Office, and the house must be recorded. This is the property of the Garrison Office. Even if the house deed is given to an officer, the record of the house must be..."
"There are not many people who lead the courtyard. Even if you count the flag generals, it won't be enough. Even the hundred generals won't be enough."
"If Mr. Qi doesn't have enough, don't rush to buy it yet, otherwise housing prices will rise sharply. The number of rewards is set according to the number of houses. If it is given to every officer, what kind of reward would it be?"
Pang Yu put down his pen and looked at the opposite side. Today, he mainly has the secretaries of each room in the garrison. Mr. Hou and Bo Yu are mainly responsible for handling administrative affairs. "There is no problem with the declaration of military exploits in the Department of Marine Warfare, but the rewards and promotions
None of the suggestions were appropriate. Faced with five bandits, Tang Ershuan did not wait for reinforcements. Instead, he pursued the enemy alone regardless of the danger. In the end, he captured and killed all the bandits, including
There is also the King of Sweepers who has been wreaking havoc on the world for several years. This is an extraordinary achievement. The reward is not limited to first and second class. The silver reward is increased to one hundred taels. In addition, a small courtyard in the city is added to encourage the soldiers to follow suit. But his
The promotion is inappropriate.”
Yang Xueshi hesitated and said, "This...according to military regulations, the merit of beheading a general is to be promoted to the banner commander by two levels. In addition to killing five old bandits, the promotion to a hundred commanders is already a small amount." Pang Yu shook his head, "He was originally
It was the captain who was demoted, and there were only a few of them in the whole battalion. It meant that he did not have leadership skills. If you promoted him again, he would probably be demoted later. There was also Xu Lengzi from the Personal Soldiers Division, and there were similar cases in other divisions.
son."
"Then if you don't get promoted, you will only have money." "Not everyone is suitable for an officer, but there should be room for promotion for such warriors. Non-commissioned officers can be set up for soldiers. The grades are divided into four levels. The monthly salary corresponds to the captain, flag, and captain.
Total, 100 total, total, if needed later, correspond to total 1,000, period
When the number is increased, the barracks will formulate a non-commissioned officer grade, pay and promotion system according to the official instructions."
Jiang Guoyong raised his hand and said, "If there is an extra non-commissioned officer, how do you distinguish between superior and subordinate officers? If there is a non-commissioned officer who corresponds to the commander-in-chief, does the commander-in-chief have to obey the military orders of the non-commissioned officer?"
"A noncommissioned officer is still a soldier. Even if his monthly salary is the same as that of a hundred officers, he still needs to obey the command of the officer. What I mean is that he is still in his original position, but his status and monthly salary must be improved without affecting military orders."
After Pang Yu finished speaking, he looked around and said, "This item involves the military system. Before I come back from Nanjing, you must revise the military regulations." He Xianya looked at the agenda in his hand and said, "The next item is the improvement of the army.
Although the Ministry of War has not yet changed the decision, news came from Zhang Junmen that the Anqing garrison camp was changed to the Qi Barracks, the water camp remained as it was, and the land camp had 3,500 troops. Corresponding to the new
Regarding the number of troops, a thousand headquarters should be set up above the division, and the officers should correspond from division to division. In view of the importance of artillery reflected in the Susong battle, an additional artillery general will be set up for every thousand generals, each leading an artillery division." Pang Yu added.
He said, "The rogue bandits are still in Yinghuo Mountain. Each division is deployed in the areas along the mountain. The recruitment of new soldiers should be completed as soon as possible. The previous reserve division only had an empty frame after the last expansion of the army. It needs to be filled this time. Just add a batch of troops to the camp."
Again
Recruit a group of troops, all of them will be counted under the Anqing Guard, especially the cavalry reserves. There are now more than 7,000 horses and mules, 2,000 of the war horses can be used, 3,000 of the riding horses, and the whole battalion of cavalry is only more than 300!" He said.
After that, he looked at Yang Xueshi and said, "Yang Sili worked at the post station before. It's natural to recruit cavalry from those who have ridden horses. Zhang Junmen also asked to recruit border army cavalry. For a long time, there were only seven, and they escaped from other battalions.
There is nothing we can do in Jiangbei. We can't find so many people who have ridden horses. There are too many vacancies now. Don't worry about whether you have ridden or not. Those who seem to have some talent and are suitable for cavalry will be recruited first for training and eliminated later.
Add more as you go, otherwise the cavalry camp will never be fully staffed
, just raising horses is very expensive, you must recruit at least a thousand people before July."
"My subordinate understands." Pang Yu didn't wait for He Xianya to explain the agenda, then turned to Bo Yu, "I'm not satisfied with these two muskets. The butt of the gun is inconvenient to use, so I still have to hold it with both hands. If I don't hold it on my shoulder, I'm afraid
It's missing an accurate head, but there is one that can be used as a shoulder, but it's still a little short.
, the most important thing is that the fire rate is too low." Bo Yu is still in charge of the workshop. Except for the small cannon, the other items have not met the requirements of Panda. After hearing this, his face turned red, and he stayed for a moment before saying.
, "There are no samples of this self-made fire gun for reference. The villain is in Nanjing and Suzhou
At that time, I heard missionaries say that they had seen such flint hammers on sea ships. If adults want to use fire blunderbuss, it is better to use match ropes, and villains can start making them immediately." (Note 1)
"I won't ask for muskets." Pang Yu waved his hand. The last time he pretended to be King Qin, the Southern War Department sent a lot of muskets. In the end, he kept some of them and took them back for practice. Pang Yu was not satisfied mainly with the shooting.
Speed. After two years of fighting, Pang Yu can be considered a veteran. Nowadays, battles rely on formations. He hopes to use long-range firepower to defeat the enemy's formations. The firepower output must be fast. Since Fang Yizhi said last time, he now has self-generated fire.
Gun,Pang Yuziran
It's pretty good, but I haven't been able to buy samples in Jiangnan, and there are manufacturing problems.
Bo Yu recorded it and reported on the replenishment of armor and troops. Each room discussed matters in turn, and the agenda was not completed until it was almost dark.
After everyone dispersed, Pang Yu lay on the back of the chair and didn't want to go back to the back office. The dinner was arranged by her mother herself and she ate it with Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu. Since she and Aunt Liu didn't make it clear, it was basically an engagement banquet.
When he thought of Aunt Liu's face, Pang Yu lost interest. He could only close his eyes and recall Liu Ruozi's beautiful figure by the river, and then he felt a little better.
He Xianya hadn't left yet, so he whispered, "Sir, this letter is from Jiang Fan. He said that Mr. Ma will come to Wuhu in ten days to help open the joints of the Yamen. You can start on the dock."
Pang Yu sat up with a roar, "Are the people from the Caobang and Land War Department ready?"
"The Cao Gang has gathered manpower at Hezhou Wharf, and the Marine Warfare Department has transferred fifty people. The first batch of thirty people has arrived in Hezhou, and twenty people are still staying in Anqing because they need to train new recruits."
"Transfer to Hezhou immediately and tell Jiang Fan to control the porters at the pier this time, and never touch the banknotes."
…
"Brother Er Shuan, I heard that this medal was given to you by Pang Pang?" Tang Er Shuan nodded and looked at Tan Laizi in front of him. He and Tan Ya were old acquaintances at the dock, and they came here specifically to see him today.
This is a courtyard next to the Wanyi warehouse. I heard that it belongs to a wharf family. I don’t know.
When did it become a garrison house? This time it was used to house dozens of wounded people. Someone took care of the food and cleaning every day. Generally, the wounded people lived in a room of four. Because Tang Ershuan had accomplished a miraculous feat, he and another man with a broken leg
Mr. Bai lived together, and he seemed to be from the second department. Tang Ershuan took a sneak peek and saw that Mr. Bai was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, with a wooden hand between his legs.
Tiao. Mr. Bai just came here not long ago, and he kept a cold face and said nothing after he came in. Tang Erchuan heard from others that his leg was not connected properly, and he would not be able to join the army in the future. Tang Erchuan suffered many injuries, but they were not as serious as him.
Yes, the doctor said as long as the
Leave it for two or three months until the blood is replenished. Tan Laizi ignored the boss. He took the medal and looked through it. It was yellow, with an axe and an anchor on it, "Two Bolts"
Brother, do you think this is made of gold, but it doesn’t feel like it?
Could it be that it’s filled with lead?”
Tang Ershuan shook his head, "I don't know if it's filled with lead."
"Based on the fact that I, Mr. Tan, have been surprised at the dock for many years, he must have been filled with lead." Tan Laizi shook his hands, "It's not worth the money."
He casually threw the medal back on Tang Ershuan's bed, put the dried fruits, wine and meat he had brought under the bed, turned to look at the 100th General Empress General, and whispered in Tang Ershuan's ear, "I heard that Zhou Yong from our Cao Gang is with you.
It's a fellow from Liantan."
Tang Ershuan nodded, and Tan Leizi grabbed his sleeve, "Then Brother Tan wants to discuss something with you. Can you help Brother Tan talk to him? I still want to take care of the mother-in-law camp."
"Pozi Camp?" Tan Lezi sat on the edge of his bed, "Well, Mr. Tan, I was in charge of Pozi Camp in Erlang Town. Who knew the beating was so severe the second day? You didn't see the bandits.
They all came to the south, and I am alone among the hundreds of women.
How can I take care of it? Anyway, I ran away a few times. Zhou Yong will not let me take care of Pozi camp this time, but will let me go to Qianshan to take care of Dunbao. What do you think there is to take care of?" Tang Ershuan didn't know either.
Why refuse? Zhou Yong joined the Cao Gang by betraying his old gang leader, and originally ignored Tang Er Shuan. After winning the medal this time, Zhou Yong became warm to him again for some reason, and even came to see Tang Er Shuan.
This time, if we talk about it now, we can say it. "That's it." Tan Leizi couldn't hide his excitement and rubbed his hands again, "Brother Er Shuan, you don't know, that mother-in-law camp, Er Shuan and I
Brother, tell me, this is such a good place. When you recover from your injury, Mr. Tan, I will take you to the camp...
"
"But Brother Zhou seems to have gone downstream. I don't know where he is. I can only wait for him to come back."
Tan Laizi was stunned for a moment, scratched his head and said, "How come everyone from the Cao Gang has gone out? Where did they go? Why didn't you discuss it with me, Mr. Tan?"
...Note 1: Flintlock muskets had spread to East Asia in the 1620s and were mostly used on armed merchant ships. There were records of flintlock muskets in Korea in 1631. In addition to military illustrations in China, there are also records in He Rubin's military records.
This type of flintlock gun should not be a rarity in Macau.
