After the defeat of the Mongols, many Taiji were captured.
After Zhamuhe's persuasion, these people all agreed to go to Qingcheng to meet Omubuhong and participate in the ceremony for Omubuhong to take over the throne. Taiji even took the initiative to persuade those Taiji who had escaped to come too. Qingcheng meets Ermu Buhong.
Ombuhong was the natural successor to the position of Great Khan of the Tumed Tribe after the death of Bu Shitu, and the various tribes did not object to him becoming the Great Khan of the Tumed Tribe.
Now that they know that the Tiger-Character Banner is willing to support Ombuhong as Tumut Khan, some Taijis who are opposed to the Tiger-Character Banner also let down their guard.
As long as Omubuhong is the Great Khan of the Tumut tribe, everything will be the same for them. They can continue to do business with the Tiger-Character Banner in the future and obtain Ming Dynasty food and various living animals through the Tiger-Character Banner. .
Zhamuhe's persuasion to Taiji from various ministries was much easier than expected. After all, they were all captured Taiji. Zhamuhe's appearance gave them hope of survival.
After completing the mission of persuading prisoners, Zhamuhe did not stay in the Tiger Banner camp for long, and returned directly to Qingcheng with some high-status Taiji.
For him, the Mongol army was defeated by the Tiger Banner, which made him feel uncomfortable. If the people of the Tiger Banner had not promised to support Ombuhong in inheriting the throne, he would not even come here with the Tiger Banner army.
It happened that Tusha also wanted to take Kudryash and others from Tsarist Russia to Qingcheng, so that Zhamuhe and others could return to Qingcheng together.
The dozens of Mongolian Taijis that Zhamuhe took away were all prisoners captured by the Tiger Banner in this battle. On the way back to Qingcheng, they were escorted back by the armored cavalry of the Tiger Banner.
On the surface, it is used to protect these Mongolian Taijis, but in fact it is used to guard them and prevent these Mongolian Taijis from escaping.
Qingcheng is less than twenty miles away from the Mongolian camp, so it can be reached quickly by horseback.
The news of the Tiger Character Banner's victory over the Mongolian army had long been sent back to Qingcheng, and now the city gates of Qingcheng had already been opened.
"Sir, from now on, Tumut Grassland will be the place where our tiger flag is." Li Shuheng said with excitement.
Although the status of the Tiger Character Banner in Datong is extraordinary, and even the entire Lingqiu is managed by the Tiger Character Banner, the county magistrate in Lingqiu County has long become a decoration.
However, whether it is Datong or Lingqiu, this has nothing to do with the Tiger Flag. Today's Tumut Grassland is different. This is the real land of the Tiger Flag.
With this grassland, Tiger Character Flag is no longer a simple business name. Even if one day the Ming Dynasty wants to deal with their Tiger Character Flag, as long as there is this grassland, Tiger Character Flag will have a way out, and there is no need to worry about being attacked. The imperial court suppressed them.
Liu Heng felt equally uncomfortable with himself.
With this grassland, the Tiger Flag has a foundation for development and growth. The shortcomings of the cavalry will be quickly made up. More importantly, with the Hetao, the Tiger Flag will no longer be short of food in the future.
In this chaotic era, food is fundamental.
"Brother Shuheng, the grassland will be left to you from now on. It won't be long before I return to Datong. The governor of Datong still needs to deal with it." Liu Heng said to Li Shuheng.
He didn't let the victory get to his head.
The Tumut grassland has just fallen into the hands of the Tiger Flag, and it still needs time to sort it out. This time is extremely critical for the Tiger Flag, so he still needs to conceal Tumut's affairs from the court, and does not want the court to know about Tumut. Merte has fallen into the hands of the Tiger Flag, which is one of the reasons why he wants to push Ombuhong to become the Great Khan of Tumut.
"When do you plan to go back, sir?" Li Shuheng asked.
He had been told about Liu Heng's return to Datong, so it was not surprising that he would still be needed to manage the grassland in the future.
Liu Heng said: "After Ermubuhong succeeds to the throne, I will go back and tell Governor Liu of Datong about the expansion of our Tiger Flag to thirty miles."
It is no secret to Datong officials that the Tiger-Character Banner army has entered the grassland. He is prepared to use the merits of Tuobian to seal the mouths of Datong.
"Don't worry, sir. For at most one year, my subordinates will ensure the stability of Tumut and make Tumut the granary of our Tiger Flag." Li Shuheng assured Liu Heng.
The reason why I dare to say this is because there is no shortage of cultivated land in Daban Shengcheng. In the past, it was not well utilized by the Mongols. Now he plans to use their agricultural skills in the Tiger Banner to develop Daban Shengcheng. Carry out combing.
Especially sweet potatoes and potatoes, even if they are planted in newly opened fields, you can harvest a lot, enough to ensure the food needs of the Tiger Flag and all the people living on the Tumut Grassland.
Liu Heng nodded and said: "Brother Shuheng, you are keeping an eye on agricultural matters. I can rest assured that our Tiger Character Banner has trained a lot of talents in this field in the past few years. Now we have enough land and food is very important." It’s no longer a big problem for our Tiger Flag.”
Tiger Banner dug ditches and set up waterwheels in Lingqiu, and hired experienced farmers to study how to increase the yield of the fields all day long, and to cultivate some seeds brought back from the sea.
Over the past few years, Tiger Flag has made great progress in this regard.
This is also the reason why in the northern part of the Ming Dynasty, due to bad weather conditions, grain production in the fields was reduced or there was no harvest. Although the surrounding states and counties, including Lingqiu, had difficult times, they were able to grow sweet potatoes and potatoes. , barely able to make ends meet.
It is a pity that many state capitals do not vigorously promote sweet potatoes and potatoes, because they are products of the Tiger Flag, and many state capitals other than Datong do not even allow people to grow them.
In addition, the common people have never grown sweet potatoes and potatoes, and do not trust these things, which limits the spread of sweet potatoes and potatoes.
"When is the right time for Ombuhong to inherit the throne of Khan?" Li Shuheng asked Liu Heng.
Although Ombuhong had the opportunity to become the Great Khan of the Tumut tribe, or even the King of Shunyi, in the eyes of their Tiger Banner, he was just a puppet.
Because the Tiger Character Banner needed the puppet of Ombuhong to appease the grassland tribes, and at the same time, it was also used to deceive the Ming court.
After the death of Bu Shitu, if the Tumote tribe did not have the Great Khan and the person who succeeded King Shunli, the Ming Dynasty court would inevitably pay attention to the grassland, and the tiger-character flag would not be able to hide it even if it wanted to.
The Ming Dynasty court was unable to deal with the chaos in Liaodong. For the Ming Dynasty court, what they were most worried about was that there would be more chaos on the grassland and that things would happen.
Liu Heng said: "When Taiji from all the ministries send people to Qingcheng, the Ordos tribe and the Yongxiebu tribe also need to be notified. Even though Bu Shitu is dead, Ombuhong will still be the leader of the right-wing Mongolia." sweat."
"When Zhamuhe comes back, I will tell Zhamuhe to send someone to the Ordos and Yongxiebu tribes," Li Shuheng said.
