Chen Daqing naturally understood what Liu Heng meant, and this time he went to Dayuan Island to investigate the situation on Dayuan Island, and to see if Zheng Tie and others had the idea of reliance on their own.
After organizing the words in his mind, he said: "According to the observations of my subordinates, Zheng Tie did not have other thoughts. The same goes for other people on Dayuan Island. None of them have thoughts about leaving the Tiger Flag."
Liu Heng nodded slightly.
Regarding the result that Chen Daqing found, he believed it to be true.
Zheng Tie and others still rely on Lingqiu's support on Dayuan Island. Some of the goods for the maritime trade business can be obtained from other places, but only Lingqiu can get the iron cargo for each ship.
Even if we can get some iron goods from other places, there are not as many types and huge quantities as the iron goods here in Lingqiu.
Without enough iron cargo to be sent to Hirado, Li Dan may not support Zheng Tie and others as he does now.
More importantly, the shipyard was divided into two. The shipyard on Dayu Island was managed by Zheng Tie, and the shipyard and most of the ships in Dagukou were under the command of Xu Xuewu, thus avoiding the possibility of one company becoming dominant.
"Master, do you want to send some more people from the Intelligence Bureau to Da Yuan Island?" Chen Daqing asked.
Liu Heng thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "No need, but the law enforcement team arranged by the Intelligence Bureau on Da Yuan Island can be transferred back and a new batch sent over. From now on, it will be replaced once a year."
"I understand, I will make arrangements when I get back." Chen Daqing responded.
Liu Heng nodded.
As the person in charge of Taiyuan Island cannot be transferred, Zheng Tie cannot be transferred, but the law enforcement team is different. A new group of law enforcement team members can be replaced at any time to go to Taiyuan Island, and the original members of the law enforcement team on Taiyuan Island can be replaced. Replacement of the members of the law enforcement team to avoid the possibility that the law enforcement team will be bribed if they stay in one place for a long time.
"Go and do your work!" Liu Heng waved his hand towards Chen Daqing, signaling him to step back.
Chen Daqing bowed and left the room.
Liu Heng took a sip of warm water, picked up the account book on the table and looked through it.
These account books were sorted through by the attendant, but even so, a thick pile was still sent to his desk.
I sat in the signing room for most of the day, and I could only read a small part of the account books on the desk, and there were many more account books that I didn't have time to look at.
After reading these account books on the desk, next month's account books will be delivered soon.
Liu Heng, who was sitting on the seat, raised his arms and stretched. He picked up the teapot on the table and stood up. He walked to the stove in the room, picked up the iron kettle and poured some hot water into the teapot. He held it with both hands. He walked out of the door holding the warm teapot.
The sun above your head shines warmly on your body, making your eyelids heavy.
Liu Heng picked up the teapot and put it to his mouth, and took a sip of the boiled water in it. The air he breathed into his mouth turned into white mist when he exhaled.
The first snow in Datong had just fallen, and there were still a few patches of snow that had not completely melted in the shade in the yard.
tread! tread! tread!
There was a sound of footsteps.
Zhao Wu came over with a big tea vat in his hand.
"Master, let's eat first! My subordinates have brought the food." As he said that, he held the teapot forward.
"Don't mention it, I'm really hungry." Liu Heng rubbed his stomach with his hands, turned around and walked towards the custody room, and asked, "Have you eaten?"
"I'll go eat later," Zhao Wu said.
Liu Heng said with a smile: "Okay, give me the food. You hurry up and get some food. If you don't have a full stomach, you won't have the strength to do anything."
Zhao Wu glanced at the teapot Liu Heng was holding for drinking water, and said, "It won't be too late to get some food later. I'll help you bring the food in first."
"Okay." Liu Heng nodded and did not refuse.
A man walked into the signing room with a teapot filled with boiled water in his hand and sat back on the seat behind the desk.
Zhao Wu put aside the account books on the table, and then placed the teapot containing rice on the table.
Liu Heng picked up the tea jar filled with food and opened the lid. Inside was a piece of salted fish and a pancake, as well as a few slices of potatoes and radishes.
"Have you sent the news to the grassland?" He picked up the chopsticks, picked up a potato slice, put it in his mouth and chewed it slowly.
Zhao Wu dared to pick up the iron kettle on the stove and was about to add coal to the stove. When he heard Liu Heng's question, he said, "It has been sent. It has been more than half an hour since he left."
Liu Heng nodded and said: "The grassland has become more and more unstable recently. From now on, when the Attendant receives news about the grassland, you must send it over in time."
"My subordinate understands." Zhao Wu responded and put the iron kettle back on the stove.
After he straightened up, he asked, "My subordinates don't understand. There is good money sitting there in Beilu but you can't make any money. What are you doing all the time when you have nothing to do? Aren't you satisfied with making money?"
There was confusion on his face.
Liu Heng snorted, put down his chopsticks, and said: "These northern captives are greedy. When they saw that our Tiger Flag had made money, they felt dissatisfied and wanted to take the money that our Tiger Flag had made into their own hands." , just wait, this is just the beginning.”
Zhao Wu frowned and said, "Su Nang and several other Taiji arranged for people to rob our convoy several times, but were beaten back by the soldiers guarding the convoy. Could it be that the lessons learned these few times are not enough, and they still dare to continue to attack?"
Liu Heng said sarcastically: "They don't feel that they are no match for our soldiers. If they take action again, they won't just plunder the convoy. I'm afraid they will directly send troops to attack our fortress in Dahei River."
"No way! It's a fort. There are more than twenty cannons deployed there. Even the Xinping Fort where General Li is stationed is not as good as the single-round defense of our Tiger Flag's fort on the Dahei River. " Zhao Wu said.
As Liu Heng's bodyguard, many things in the Tiger Flag were handled by him. He knew better than many people inside the Tiger Flag about the situation of the pier garrisoned by the Third Army Battalion where Zhang Hong was located.
A fort was garrisoned by thousands of soldiers and hundreds of cavalry, plus more than twenty cannons. As long as there was enough food and grass in the fort, the northern barbarians would not be able to break the fort until tens of thousands of people died.
What's more, the Tiger Flag is used as a warehouse in the Dunbao in Dahei River. Naturally, there will be no shortage of food and grass in the fort. Therefore, even if Mongolian Taiji leads his troops to attack the Dunbao, don't expect to win it easily.
There are only tens of thousands of string-controlling soldiers in the entire Tumut, so it is impossible to attack the entire Tumut in order to attack the fortress of their Tiger Flag.
With Tumote's strength, the only way to capture their tiger-shaped flag was to besiege the fort. Only when the food and grass in the fort were exhausted would there be any possibility of breaking through the fort.
"Wealth is so confusing that some people may not be able to see clearly." Liu Heng sneered.
The Foreign Intelligence Agency continuously transmitted the news collected on the grassland back to Lingqiu. He had already received the news about the collusion between Su Nang, Kankantada and others.
The people behind the several attacks on the Tiger Flag convoy were also found out by the Foreign Intelligence Service.
It was precisely because so much news about Beilu came back that Liu Heng became more and more aware that it was difficult for Tiger Character Banner and Beilu to get along, and there would be a battle sooner or later in the future.
Unless the Tiger Character Banner surrenders to the Beibei, hands over his share of profits, and from then on works for the Beibei honestly, imitating the Han merchants who were promoted to the city, and becoming slaves for the nobles among the Beibei.
