"What a pity." Yu Huai and Ma Yunjiu said the same thing at the top of Dunbao City.
Standing on the parapet of the pier, he could only watch helplessly as the Chahar army gradually receded.
Wang Yuncheng, who was standing aside, put down the monocular in his hand, turned his head and said to him: "The people leading the Chahar army are not fools. They know that they are not opponents, so it is difficult to get any benefits by continuing to stay."
"I feel a little unwilling." Yu Huai said, "After being surrounded by the Chahar tribe for so many days, we finally had the opportunity to hit them hard. Before we could take action, they ran away on their own. I felt a fist hit them. On the cotton."
Wang Yuncheng smiled when he heard this and said: "With today's lesson, I believe Lin Danhan from the Chahar Department will not dare to fight with us again."
In the past, the Tiger Banner only fought against the tribes of the right-wing Mongolia, but the strongest tribe in Monan Mongolia was the left-wing Mongolia, especially the Chahar tribe, which was the most powerful tribe among the left-wing Mongolia.
After the fight, he felt that even if the Chahar tribe was stronger than the Tumote tribe, it was still limited and far from being their opponent with the Tiger Flag.
"That is to say, our proprietor has no intention of annexing the Chahar tribe, otherwise Lin Dan Khan, the Mongolian Khan, may not be able to remain in power for long." Yu Huai sneered.
Wang Yuncheng didn't answer, but he had the same idea in his heart.
The shortcoming of the Tiger Banner's lack of cavalry also began to improve after the conquest of the Tumote tribe.
The armored cavalry battalions that once had less than a thousand men now have four cavalry battalions with more than a thousand men, and more cavalry battalions are being formed.
The advantage of the Mongolian cavalry has been wiped out bit by bit by the Tiger Flag.
"The proprietor should be arriving soon. Please remember to select an elite military team to protect the proprietor's safety. Nothing will happen to the proprietor during the time he comes to our place." Wang Yuncheng said to Huai with a solemn expression.
Yu Huai nodded with a serious face.
Liu Heng is the leader of the Tiger Flag, and his arrival is the most important thing for them at the moment. Moreover, Liu Heng's safety is related to the future of the Tiger Flag. They dare not and do not allow anything to happen to Liu Heng.
The news of the defeat of the Chahar army was not concealed by the Tiger Banner. At that time, in addition to the Tiger Banner soldiers in the pier and the Tiger Banner cavalry outside the pier, there were also some who came to the grassland to build the pier. The people of the Ming Dynasty also knew this.
As some people returned to the Ming Dynasty from the grasslands, news of the defeat of the Chahar army spread throughout the Ming Dynasty.
After the Tumote Tribe was conquered, there were not many rumors about the Tumote Tribe's defeat in the border areas of the Ming Dynasty. This was because the Tiger-Character Banner was secretly controlling the news and covering up the news. But this time, the Chahar Tribe was defeated. Not only did Zi Qi not want to hide it, but he deliberately asked people to spread the news back to the Ming Dynasty.
Only if the Ming Dynasty court knew the power of the Tiger Flag, would they be afraid and not dare to do anything.
It was already the second day when Liu Heng arrived with three cavalry battalions.
Chahar's army was defeated, and he changed his position from personal expedition to inspection.
These piers and fire road piers built all the way outside Zhangjiakou had just been completed, and it was his first time to inspect them here.
The forts built on this route are very important to the Tiger Banner. With the protection of these forts, the road to Qingcheng for the Mongolian armies on the left was cut off.
Because of the existence of these forts, the Tiger Flag can be developed in the rear, reclaiming farmland and water conservancy, smelting iron, opening workshops, and manufacturing soldiers' armor and various daily necessities.
Just when Liu Heng was inspecting the Dunbao stationed by the Third War Division, news of the defeat of the Chahar army appeared on the desks of border civilian officials and generals.
"Unexpectedly, really unexpectedly, even the troops of the Chahar tribe are no match for the Tiger-character Banner." Wang Bao sighed with emotion after learning the news that the Chahar army was defeated by the Tiger-character Banner.
As border guards, their task was to guard against the Mongols from attacking the border and to prevent the Mongols from burning, killing and looting on the border of the Ming Dynasty. It can be said that their enemies were the Mongols living on the grasslands.
But now, the Tumut tribe, which poses the greatest threat to the Xuanfu, has been conquered by the Tiger Banner, and the Chahar tribe, which has also invaded the border areas of the Ming Dynasty many times, has also been defeated by the Tiger Banner.
This gave Wang Bao the illusion that the Mongols were very easy to deal with.
"Dong Weng, if this news is true, it can only mean that the Tiger Flag is more powerful and more difficult to deal with." Chen Gong, an aide standing nearby, said.
Datong Governor Liu Hong has resigned. The new Datong Governor Li Guangyi has just taken office not long ago. The court has no arrangements for the retiring Liu Hong.
It was obvious that the imperial court was dissatisfied with Liu Hong's years in office in Datong.
Moreover, the timing of Li Guangyi taking over the position of governor of Datong is very intriguing. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Li Guangyi came to Datong just to deal with the Tiger Flag.
Wang Bao grabbed the preserved fruit from the plate next to him, threw it into his mouth, and said while chewing: "The wings of the Tiger-Character Flag have matured. At this time, it is time to win over Liu Heng, the proprietor of the Tiger-Character Flag, and even make him the King of Shunyi." Remove Liu Hong, the governor of Datong."
"Dong Weng, be careful." Chen Gong looked out the door nervously.
Wang Bao snorted and said: "Is it possible that I was wrong? Dealing with the Tiger Flag at this time is equivalent to pushing the Tiger Flag outward. Once the Tiger Flag is forced to the side of the slaves and traitors, the entire north of the Ming Dynasty will be plunged into war." among.”
"Dong Weng, just think about this in your mind. Don't say it verbally. If it reaches the ears of the court, it will not be a good thing for Dong Weng and the Wang family behind Dong Weng." Chen Gong reminded in a low voice. .
Wang Bao sneered and said: "Don't worry, I'm not that stupid. If the court wants to deal with the Tiger Flag, just let the court deal with it on its own while I just watch from the side."
The princes of the imperial court may only have a partial understanding of the Tiger-Character Flag, but he is different. He is the commander-in-chief of the Xuan Mansion, and the Tiger-Character Flag is right under his nose, so everything the Tiger-Character Flag does on the grassland can be appreciated. He understands that the Tiger Flag is powerful and not easy to mess with.
"I'm afraid it's impossible for Dong Weng to watch the excitement." Chen Gong said, "The Ministry of War has issued an official document asking you, Dong Weng, to train new soldiers and expand the strength of the Xuanfu camp. Obviously this is to deal with the tiger-character flag. Get ready, I'm afraid Datong has received the same official document."
The Xuanfu has been peaceful for so many years. In the past, the princes of the imperial court were always thinking about how to weaken the troops in the border areas, so how could they agree to the Xuanfu's training of new soldiers to expand their strength.
But the Ministry of War has issued such an official document. It is obvious that the imperial court wants to deal with the tiger-character flag.
Wang Bao curled his lips when he heard this and said: "I am training a bird soldier. The court does not allocate any money or food. You only need to send an official document to a military subordinate to ask me to train new soldiers. What good thing are you thinking of? I can't." There is no money to put into it.”
"This is an official document from the Ministry of War. It must have been approved by the Emperor. If you don't follow the official document, Dong Weng, I'm afraid you will offend the Emperor." Chen Gong said worriedly.
