"You haven't eaten yet when you came here! It's meal time for the armored cavalry battalion. I'll go get you some food. We'll eat in the yurt in a while." As he said that, Tu La stood up.
Huang Hong looked at Tu La and said with a smile: "Then there will be deputy battalion commander Lao Tu."
"No need to be so polite, we are all our own people." Tu La said with a smile, and then walked out of the yurt.
As soon as he left, Huang Hong looked at Ma Yunjiu and said, "Tu La seems to be a different person. He doesn't have the bloodiness of when he was a horse bandit."
"Once a person is stable, the bit of blood in his body will be wiped away, and he will start thinking about living a stable life." Ma Yunjiu said while looking outside the yurt.
Huang Hong thought for a while and said: "If Tu La continues like this, he can no longer stay in the armored cavalry camp, otherwise, it will not be of any benefit to the armored cavalry camp."
"Wait a moment." Ma Yunjiu said, "He is still indispensable in the armored cavalry battalion. When the horse bandits in the armored cavalry battalion completely return to our tiger-character flag, I will propose to the boss to call Tu La back to Lingqiu."
"Then you need to take control of the armored cavalry battalion as soon as possible." Huang Hong said, "Recently, Beilu has been making small moves, and our Tiger Flag will send more and more soldiers to the grassland. Our Tiger Flag and Beilu will Sooner or later there will be a battle between them."
Ma Yunjiu said: "Don't worry, most of the horse bandits have now identified themselves as cavalrymen of the Tiger-Character Banner Armored Cavalry Battalion. The remaining few horse bandits will definitely return home soon, and Tu La is the largest in Tumote." As long as he remains in the armored cavalry camp, no one will think much about the leader of the horse bandits, and Tu La is not in charge of much in the armored cavalry camp. It is not a constraint for me. It will make it easier for me to manage the armored cavalry camp and keep him here. It can also put these horse bandits at ease."
"This matter is an internal matter within your Armored Cavalry Battalion. You can make your own decision. It is not convenient for our Foreign Intelligence Bureau to interfere. However, if there is anyone in the Armored Cavalry Battalion who has other intentions, then remove them as soon as possible and never leave them." Huang Hong said.
Ma Yunjiu nodded and said, "I know it well."
"That's good." Huang Hong responded.
"How are the weapons of the armored cavalry battalion prepared?" Ma Yunjiu asked suddenly.
"It has been sent to the Dahei River." Huang Hong said, "They are all in accordance with your requirements, mainly short axes and short spears, and some arrows, but the number of arrows is not large."
"Having a hatchet and a short spear is enough." Ma Yunjiu said, "Almost all the cavalrymen in the armored cavalry battalion are horse bandits and are not used to using our cavalry and hand muskets. Hatches and short spears are more suitable for them. "
Huang Hong said: "I will find Zhang Yingzheng when I get back and ask him to deliver the things as soon as possible."
The two talked for a while, and Tu La came in from outside carrying three large tea jars.
"Today's meal is mutton. I'll bring back three portions." As he said that, Tu La placed a big teapot in front of everyone.
Huang Hong opened the lid of the tea jar, put the big tea jar in front of his nose, smelled it, and said with a smile: "It seems that I am in luck this time."
"As long as you don't dislike it." Tu La smiled and then said, "I asked someone to put a few pickles in it and eat it with the mutton. It's a pity that there are no green vegetables at this time, otherwise it can relieve the tiredness."
It was nearly October, and the grassland had already become cold, and the first snow had already fallen.
"It's already very good." Huang Hong said, "You can relieve your tiredness by drinking two cups of tea in a while."
The three of them sat at the low table and started eating.
When the meal was almost done, Tu La looked at Ma Yunjiu and said, "Yingzheng, have you told Deputy Director Huang about my matter?"
"What's the matter?" Huang Hong raised his head and looked at Tu La in confusion.
Ma Yunjiu put down the spoon in his hand, put it into the big tea vat, and said, "Deputy Tu Ying wants to go to Lingqiu to settle down, and he doesn't want to stay in the Armored Cavalry Battalion as the deputy battalion commander."
Tu La answered: "Since I came to the grassland, I have never gone back. Now I want to go back to the Ming Dynasty, which can be regarded as a fallen leaf returning to its roots."
"Deputy Tuying is in his prime. Isn't it a little early to say that fallen leaves are returning to their roots?" Huang Hong said casually.
Tu La said with a wry smile: "Throughout the years as a horse bandit, it can be said that I have been fighting constantly, leaving a lot of hidden wounds on my body. The pain will be severe on rainy days. I don't know how long I can live. Now I finally have a chance to recover." Given the opportunity in the Ming Dynasty, I wanted to go back to the Ming Dynasty to live a peaceful life for a few years while I was still alive, but my wish was over."
Huang Hong glanced at Ma Yunjiu who was standing aside.
When he came to the armored cavalry camp this time, he found that Tu La had become depressed. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that the person in front of him was the fierce leader of the horse bandits.
Ma Yunjiu said, "Didn't we talk about this matter? If you stay in the Armored Cavalry Battalion for a while longer, when the training of the Armored Cavalry Battalion is over, I will ask the Military and Political Department to transfer you to Lingqiu."
Tu La sighed.
How could he not know what Ma Yunjiu meant by leaving him in the armored cavalry camp.
In the past, I would have stayed for a while longer, but it is different now. Seeing that the armored cavalry battalion is about to attack the Mongols, no matter whether this battle is successful in the end, it will definitely attract revenge from the Mongols. At this time, I stayed in the armored cavalry. The cavalry camp was even more dangerous than when he was a horse bandit.
Huang Hong at the side said: "Deputy Tu Yingzheng has just joined the Tiger Banner, so he may not know much about it. If he wants to be transferred, he can only report to his superiors. I belong to the Foreign Intelligence Bureau, and I am not under the control of the Armored Cavalry Battalion." , so I can’t help at all with this matter.”
Ma Yunjiu said: "The Armored Cavalry Battalion is about to face its first battle. After this battle, I will apply to the Deputy Director to request that you be transferred from the Armored Cavalry Battalion."
"That's all we can do." Tu La nodded and responded.
He also knew in his heart that Ma Yunjiu would definitely not let him leave at this time. At least he would not let him leave the Armored Cavalry Battalion until the Armored Cavalry Battalion no longer needed him.
After lunch, Huang Hong took several of his subordinates and left the armored cavalry camp.
Ma Yunjiu and Tu La personally escorted them out of the camp.
On the way back, Tu La said: "Do we have to take action against the Hatan tribe? That is not a small tribe with dozens of people gathered together temporarily, but a formal tribe with Mongolian nobles sitting in command. Even if it is not strong, once it takes action , will definitely anger Kancantada, he is not easy to offend."
"Are you scared?" Ma Yunjiu turned his head and looked at Tu La.
Tu La hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and said, "When I was a horse bandit in the past, I would definitely not dare to provoke a tribe like this with hundreds of string-controllers, and I would hide away if I encountered them."
Ma Yunjiu said with a smile: "With the current strength of our armored cavalry battalion, even if it is not as good as the cuirassiers, it is still no problem to deal with a tribe with only a few hundred string control soldiers."
"You know that's not what I mean." Tu La said, "A tribe like this with Mongolian nobles will inevitably provoke revenge from the Mongols, especially Kankantada, who belongs to Tumut. One of the big Taiji, very powerful."
Hearing this, Ma Yunjiu smiled and said: "Don't worry, our Tiger Flag is not as weak as you think, drive!"
As he spoke, he flicked the reins, spurred his horse, and galloped towards the camp.
Tu La sighed, knowing that he could not persuade the other party, so he had to ride closely behind him and return to the camp together.
