The tiger-character flag is very peaceful at the Dunbao of Dahei River.
After Liu Heng arrived here, he never left the camp inside the Dunbao. He never even went up to the walls of the Dunbao.
In addition to going to various barracks to express condolences to the soldiers and armored cavalry stationed in the pier, most of the time they stayed in the office.
As the supreme leader of the Tiger Flag, there are official documents from the Attendant Department every day.
This time when he came to the grassland, he did not bring the attendant with him, but left the attendant in Xinpingbao.
Some unimportant documents will be handled internally by the Document Attendant Department, and only some important matters, or matters that require Liu Heng's decision, will be sent all the way through the piers along the road.
These forts built on the grassland not only stationed the army, but also played the role of post stations. Because of these forts, official documents sent from the direction of Xinpingbao could be quickly delivered to Liu Heng.
After Liu Heng finished processing the last official document on the table, he stretched, stood up from behind the table, walked around the stove, picked up the iron kettle on it and filled his cup with water again.
"Sir, Master Chen and Deputy Master Zhang are here." Zhao Wu came to the room to announce.
Liu Hengtaiji glanced outside the house and said, "Please come quickly."
Zhao Wu opened the curtain in front of the room and said to a few people outside the room: "Master Chen, Deputy Master Zhang, sir, please come!"
Chen Xunping and Zhang Sancha, who were waiting outside the door, walked in.
"I see you, your lord."
As soon as they entered the room, the two people saluted Liu Heng at the same time.
Liu Heng raised his hand and pointed to the two benches on the side and said: "Everyone, sit down! Pour your own water. I won't care about you."
The two of them each found a bench and sat down.
"How are your First Battle Division's preparations going?" Liu Heng, holding a tea vat in his hand, asked the two people in front of him.
Chen Xunping stood up and said: "Don't worry, sir, our military division has begun to move towards the Dahei River. We will temporarily operate in small groups to ensure that the entire division appears at the Dahei River before the river water clears up."
"This time, not only your First Battle Division, but also the Second Battle Division, in addition to the necessary personnel staying at the Dunbao, will also move towards the Dahei River. When the armies of your two divisions arrive, we will attack Qingcheng. That day." Liu Heng said solemnly.
"Don't worry, sir, this time my subordinates will definitely be able to capture Qingcheng and capture the fortune teller rabbit alive." Chen Xunping assured loudly.
Liu Heng nodded with satisfaction and said: "Our Tiger Flag has been preparing for this battle for so long. I have only one request for you, and that is that you can only win and not lose."
"Don't worry, sir. I have fought against the Mongolian army several times and I am confident enough to defeat them." Chen Xunping said confidently.
Zhang Sancha on the side interjected at this time: "Although the Mongols have many cavalry, they don't pose much of a threat to us. Especially when we have enough firearms with the Tiger Flag, it is too easy to defeat the Mongolian army. I believe it. It won’t be long before your Excellency can take over Qingcheng and become the Lord of Qingcheng.”
"The Lord of Qingcheng, that's too ugly. He should be called King Shunyi." Chen Xunping said to Zhang Sancha.
Zhang Sancha shook his head and retorted: "King of Shunyi is the title conferred by the emperor on Anda Khan. It was because the frontier troops of the Ming Dynasty could not defeat Anda Khan that they got the title of King of Shunyi. But we adults are different. In the future, we adults will take over the Tumut Grassland and be called King of Shunyi. Wouldn't it be the same as the current Bushitu? The name of King Shunyi is too unlucky and unworthy of us."
"Then let's call him Tian Khan. I read in a book that all the powerful emperors of our Han people are called Tian Khan." Chen Xunping said.
Liu Heng, who was on the side, heard the remarks of the two men and laughed and scolded: "What the hell, Khan and King Shunyi, you have time to think about these messy things, why not think more carefully about how to fight this battle well and how to use the minimum loss?" , in exchange for the greatest victory.”
"My subordinates just think that when Qingcheng is captured in the future, with the foundation of Tumut, our Tiger-Character Banner will have our own territory, and you can become the king, no, even being the emperor is enough. "Zhang Sancha scratched the hair on the back of his head with his hands.
Liu Heng's face straightened up and he said: "Even if we take Qingcheng, it won't be that easy to make the Mongols surrender to us. We are Han people after all. You should all know what kind of life the Han people live on the grassland. Think about it. To make the Mongols completely surrender to us, we still need to do a lot of things, so don’t keep thinking about being aloof."
"Kill anyone who disobeys. As long as you kill enough, your subordinates will not believe that they disobey." Chen Xunping's face flashed with a stern expression.
Liu Heng said: "It's not that simple. Sometimes killing people may not solve the problem. If you can't make the Mongols surrender, it will still be a troublesome thing after all."
The grassland is large and the population is small. The Tiger Banner took the Tumut Grassland not only for this grassland, but also for the Mongolians living on this grassland.
"Report!"
A voice came from outside the house.
Liu Heng looked in the direction outside the door and said, "Come in."
As the words fell, Zhang Hong and Ma Yunjiu walked in from outside the house.
"I see you, your lord."
As soon as they entered the room, the two people saluted Liu Heng.
Liu Heng waved his hand and said, "Okay, you two can find a place to sit by yourselves."
There are several benches placed in the office room. With two more people, there is no shortage of benches.
After the two of them were seated, Liu Heng said, "Are there any Mongolian sentries monitoring outside the Dunbao recently?"
It is no secret that the Mongolian sentries appeared near Dunbao. Although Liu Heng did not go to the city wall to see it in person, he also heard people talk about the Mongolian sentries.
"The people are still there, but these Mongolian sentries have been on the other side of the river. After our cavalry crossed the river, they fled further away and couldn't catch up even if they wanted to. But as soon as our cavalry came back, they came again. Go to the other side of the river." Ma Yunjiu said with a gloomy look.
The Mongolian sentries that appeared near the Dunbao in the past few days made him look disgraced.
There were not many Mongolian sentries, only about ten of them, but with these ten of them, the cavalry of their armored cavalry battalion was always helpless.
Liu Heng tapped his fingers on the outer wall of the tea vat twice, and said: "The Mongols are born with cavalry. It is normal that the cavalry of your armored cavalry battalion cannot catch up. Unfortunately, what our Tiger Flag lacks most is cavalry." , otherwise this battle with Bushitu wouldn’t have been dragged on until now.”
"There are many Han people on the grassland who are very good at riding. It's a pity that we don't dare to use them, otherwise my subordinates would be sure to form a thousand-man cavalry team in a short time." Ma Yunjiu said.
Among the Han people living on the grasslands, except for some Mongolian slaves, many Han people are as good at riding as the Mongols.
