"Yes, uncle." Omubuhong called uncle again according to the Han people's call.
At this time, Li Shuheng on the side raised his hands to Liu Hengyi and congratulated: "Congratulations to the proprietor, congratulations to the proprietor."
"Haha, actually I quite like this kid Ombuhong. From now on, the treatment from the Khan Palace will be doubled. I can't wrong my eldest nephew." Liu Heng confessed to Li Shuheng.
Ombuhong, who was standing in front of the seat, was happy when he heard this.
Since the last time the expenses of the Khan Palace were cut in half due to Zhamuhe's incident, his life has become difficult. Now that he can restore his previous treatment, he no longer has any resistance to the addition of an uncle.
Harbala said happily: "Dongzhu Liu recognized our Khan as his nephew. This is a great thing. We should celebrate it and let more people know about it. Why not hold a banquet in the Khan's Palace to celebrate."
"I hope my uncle can move to the Khan Palace to celebrate with my nephew." Ombuhong called Liu Heng the Han people's name, and also called himself the same name, lowering his profile.
Liu Heng nodded lightly and said, "You go back and prepare first. I will also ask someone to send you some ingredients. I will go to the banquet in person in the evening."
"Yes, my nephew is waiting for his uncle's arrival in the Khan Palace." Ombuhong bowed and saluted Liu Heng in the Han manner.
Liu Heng nodded.
Soon, Ombuhun and Harbala left the office and returned to their Khan Palace.
Li Shuheng watched the two people leave and then said: "The proprietor made a good move and became Ombuhong's uncle. If the Mongolians know this, there will be much less resistance to our Tiger Flag in the future. They will also be more willing to accept the rule of the Tiger Flag."
"Let's not talk about it anymore. Have you considered the white disaster this winter?" Liu Heng turned to ask about the herdsmen spending the winter.
If Harbala hadn't suddenly mentioned it, he would have almost forgotten about it.
This year, the Tiger Banner launched a war against the Tumut tribe, killing and injuring many Mongolians. More Mongolians were captured to build roads. There were very few Mongolian men left in the tribes, and many tribes were mostly women. There are old people and children.
Li Shuheng didn't frown slightly and said: "There shouldn't be much of a problem! The Mongolians lived like this in previous years, and with the food from our Tiger Flag this year, their lives should be better."
"You can't say that. You have forgotten that many men in the prime of life in the Tumut tribe have been arrested by us to build roads. Just relying on a few women and old people may not even be able to gather the forage for the winter, let alone survive. It’s winter.” Liu Heng reminded.
Li Shuheng said: "Is it so serious?"
"I'm afraid it will be more serious than what I said. After all, not every herdsmen gathering point is like Qingcheng and Bansheng City, so we have to ensure that the herdsmen of the Tumut Department have a good winter." Liu Heng said.
Li Shuheng frowned and said, "But it's almost winter now, and it's too late to do anything. How about gathering all the herdsmen from all departments to take care of them?"
"Concentrating is one way, but there are still more herdsmen who are too scattered. It is difficult to concentrate. What's more important is the herds. If they are not taken care of well, a large number of cattle, sheep and horses will die this winter." Liu Heng said.
The herds of herdsmen are equivalent to the wealth of the Tiger Flag. The more cattle and sheep are killed or injured, the greater the loss will be for the Tiger Flag in the coming year.
Li Shuheng thought for a while and said: "Otherwise, let the captured Mongolians be released and let them return to their respective tribes and take care of their own tribes."
"A group of well-reformed Mongolians can be released back, but most of the Mongolians will continue to be imprisoned." Liu Heng said, "However, our Tiger Banner has tens of thousands of troops stationed on the grassland, and some of them can be separated Go and help the herdsmen gather pasture for the winter.”
After hearing this, Li Shuheng nodded and said: "This is a good idea. There has been no war recently, so we can take this opportunity to get the herdsmen closer to our Tiger Flag."
"We also need to prepare some stoves. I'm afraid the herdsmen won't have too much cow dung for the winter. We also need to prepare as much coal as possible and then distribute it to the herdsmen to make it easier for them to endure this winter." Liu Heng said.
Li Shuheng rubbed his chin with his fingers a few times and said, "I'm afraid the number of coal stoves is not enough. We never considered that the herdsmen would have a hard time this winter."
"Then go all out to build a coal stove. Many workshops have been moved over to Lingqiu, and they can all be used to build coal stoves. There is also coal. A coal mine was discovered on the grassland. If you don't have time to mine it, you can buy it from Datong. Bring the coal here," Liu Heng said.
Li Shuheng nodded and said: "This can only be done temporarily. I hope this winter will not be so cold, otherwise the herdsmen may not be able to survive this winter."
Originally, he only paid attention to the Han people living on the grasslands and those Han people who came from the Ming Dynasty to farm in Dabanshengdi. However, he had long forgotten the herdsmen of the Tumote tribe.
Now that he was reminded by Liu Heng, he realized that he had almost missed a big event.
Once something happens to the herdsmen of the Tumed tribe this winter, it will seriously damage the Tiger Banner's rule over the grasslands of the Tumed tribe.
"We must hurry up on this matter. This is the first year that our Tiger Character Banner has taken over the land. We cannot let the herdsmen here feel that our Tiger Character Banner's rule is inferior to that of Mongolian nobles like Bu Shitu and others," Liu Heng said.
Li Shuheng nodded vigorously and said: "Don't worry, proprietor, I didn't take this into consideration before, but now that I know, my subordinates will do their best to ensure that the herdsmen survive this winter."
"I have to go to the Khan Palace in the evening. You can arrange for someone to send some ingredients to the Khan Palace, especially vegetables. Prepare more." Liu Heng also talked about attending the banquet in the evening.
Li Shuheng said: "Okay, I will make arrangements when I get back. However, when the proprietor goes to the Khan Palace, he needs to bring more guards with him. In this way, although Mongolian Taiji surrenders to us openly, there are still many small tricks secretly."
"I will take Zhao Wu and the escort there, and I will come back after a glass of wine. Nothing will happen. Now for our Tiger Flag, the problem of herdsmen surviving the winter is a big deal." Liu Heng reminded again.
He is not as resistant to the Mongols as other Ming people are to the Mongols, and as the Mongols are natural cavalry, he needs to use them for his own purposes.
After all, Huziqi's own training of cavalry is too time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the number is too small.
As long as the Mongolians in the Tumote tribe accept the Tiger Flag from their hearts, the Tiger Flag will have a steady stream of cavalry.
The days passed.
After Liu Heng came to Qingcheng, except for attending the banquet at the Khan Palace on the first day, he took Zhao Wu and other guards around to check the situation on the grasslands in the other days.
Of course, every time he traveled, he was accompanied by cavalry escorts from the armored cavalry battalion.
Today's armored cavalry battalion is no longer limited to one cavalry battalion.
Because of the participation of Han people living on the grasslands, one cavalry battalion has long been turned into three cavalry battalions, and two more cavalry battalions are being formed.
