Asking the Jin Yiwei Baihu next to the boss seemed to be asking the question to the end.
In desperation, he had no choice but to say: "I only heard that the Tiger Character Banner defeated the Tumut tribe, and that's why the Tumut tribe had to bear with the Tiger Character Banner building a fort on the grassland."
"Haha, how is this possible? Brother, your joke is not funny at all." Jin Yiwei Baihu laughed disapprovingly.
He didn't believe that the Tumote Department, which even the elite border troops of the Ming Dynasty could do nothing about, would be defeated by a single company.
The boss said: "Since the adults from hundreds of households don't believe it, just pretend that I didn't say it. Let's still drink. Sorghum wine is a good wine. Brother, I am the boss. I usually can't bear to spend money to buy sorghum wine."
"Isn't it just a little wine? When I come back from Qingcheng, brother, I will go to the Tiger Flag shop in person. Then, brother, you can drink as much as you want. It won't cost you a penny." Baihu, the Jin Yiwei, patted his chest. explain.
As a Jinyiwei, he never spends his own money on meals and drinks in the capital. Even if the Tiger Flag is somewhat famous in the Xuanfu area of Datong, he believes that he drinks a little for nothing. The people of the Tiger Flag dare not deny him this honor.
Mr. Xiang said with a smile: "Then I will take advantage of Lord Baihu, and I will make sure not to get drunk when the time comes."
He said this, but in his heart he didn't think that the Jin Yiwei in front of him could drink wine for free from Hu Ziqi.
Only those in Xuanfu know the power of the Tiger Flag.
Others might think it was a joke when they heard that the Tiger-Character Banner defeated the Tumote tribe, but he didn't think it was a joke. He had gone to Datong with Yang Guozhu to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the Tiger-Character Banner, and had seen the Tiger-Character Banner soldiers and horses with his own eyes. Very powerful.
Huziqi's sorghum wine is stronger than many wines on the market.
Some of the Jinyiwei who had drunk sorghum wine were already a little drunk. Except for a few soldiers who stayed at the fire to watch the night, the others went into the tent to rest.
At dawn the next day.
Everyone in the team ate something and then continued on their way. As for the Tiger-Character Flag Dunbao, no one mentioned it again.
With the general from Xuanfu leading the way, the team went very smoothly along the way, and did not encounter any blind horse bandits. After eight or nine days, they finally appeared near Qingcheng.
"Sir, after crossing the river in front of you, you can reach Qingcheng in half a day at most." The leader introduced to the Yuanwailang in the team.
Yuanwailang nodded.
He hurriedly hurriedly and slowly arrived at Qingcheng. Now he just wanted to confer the title of King of Shunyi on the Tumut tribe lord as soon as possible and then capture him.
"Why are there so many Han people here!" Jin Yiwei Baihu looked at a group of cavalry dressed as Han people passing by across the river in the distance.
The general said: "It should be the cavalry of the Tiger Flag."
"Ha ha!"
One of the Jin Yiwei in the team suddenly laughed.
Jinyiwei Baihu also smiled and said: "You have mentioned several times along the way that the Tumote tribe was defeated by the tiger-character banner. I think you have changed your mind when talking about 'tiger'."
The few Jin Yiwei around who had not laughed before all started laughing at this time.
However, not one of the soldiers and horses of the Xuanfu who brought him the general smiled.
Unlike these Jinyi guards from the capital, these soldiers and horses from Xuanfu have seen the cavalry of the Tiger Flag, and the appearance of the Tiger Flag cavalry is easy to remember.
Because only the cavalry of the Tiger Flag will wear iron armor and use firecrackers and sabers as cavalry weapons.
At least among the cavalry they had seen, only those wearing the Tiger Flag would wear it this way.
The cavalrymen who had just passed by the other side of the river were wearing armor like the breastplates of the Tiger Banner Cavalry, and they were also holding blunderbuss and sabers in their hands.
Moreover, the equipment of all cavalry is similar. Unlike the Mongolian cavalry and the frontier troops, their armors are all varied and far less neat than the Tiger Banner cavalry.
"What? You don't really think that the cavalry that just passed by are the cavalry of the Tiger Flag, do you?" Baihu, the Jinyiwei guard, saw that the commander on the side was not smiling and couldn't help but say.
The general looked seriously at Yuan Wai Lang beside him and said, "Sir, I can be sure that the cavalrymen who passed by just now were the cavalrymen with the Tiger Flag."
"Are you sure you read it correctly?" Yuan Wailang frowned.
The soldiers and horses of the Tiger Flag appeared near Qingcheng, and the meaning behind this is by no means ordinary.
At this time, the smile on Jin Yiwei Baihu's face also disappeared, and he could feel that the boss on the side did not mean to joke.
General Manager nodded vigorously and said: "I have seen the cavalry of the Tiger Flag with my own eyes, and most of the Mongolian cavalry are wearing leather armor, and most of them use bows, arrows and scimitars, and they cannot be firearms. "
"Sir, I have noticed that the cavalry team that just passed by on the other side of the river were all wearing black armor and carrying a firecracker. It was only shorter than the firecracker used by the firearms battalion." Yuan Wailang Someone next to him said.
Jinyiwei Baihu frowned and said: "We are almost to Qingcheng. How come the cavalry of the Tiger Flag appear here? Could it be that I saw it wrong?"
He still couldn't believe that a business actually had cavalry, and the cavalry also appeared in the hinterland of the Tumote Department.
"There have long been rumors in the Xuanfu that the Tumote tribe was defeated by the soldiers and horses of the Tiger Flag. Now it seems that this matter is probably true." Mr. Ba said.
Originally, he only believed 60-70% of these rumors, but now he has 90% confidence.
Yuan Wailang's face also became not so pretty.
The Tumut Tribe was by no means an ordinary small tribe, and he was unwilling to believe that the Tumut Tribe would be defeated by a Ming Dynasty firm.
"Sir, do you want to cross the river?" he asked the general manager of the Ministry of Rites.
Jinyiwei Baihu said: "Sir, otherwise we should go back! I believe it will be a great achievement to report the things here to the court."
"We can't go back." Mr. Ba shook his head, then turned around and looked behind him on the left side, and said, "We have been targeted."
Yuan Wailang was shocked when he heard this and quickly looked in the direction where the general manager was looking.
In the distance, you can vaguely see a few horses riding there.
He couldn't help but said: "Could it be that I saw it wrong? The horses in the distance were just passing by."
"Those riders have been following us for four or five miles. If they were passing by, they should have left long ago." Mr. Ba said.
At this time, Jinyiwei Baihu said: "It's just a few horses. If we want to leave, they can't stop us. My lord, I think it's better to go back early and inform the court officials about the situation on the grassland."
"We can't leave." The general said, "The most indispensable thing on the grassland is cavalry. They sent a few cavalry just to keep an eye on us. Once we escape, it is very likely that we will be chased by a large group of cavalry. We are so small. With a large cavalry force, it would be difficult to escape.”
Hearing this, Yuan Wailang's expression changed several times.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go to Qingcheng. I want to see what dragon pool and tiger den are ahead."
