On the Hutou Village Mountain in Lingqiu.
Since the Dwarf Tiger was eliminated by the Tiger Flag, Hutou Village has been occupied by the Tiger Flag, and it was also the first place where the Tiger Flag settled in Lingqiu.
In the past, Hutou Village was just a place where a group of bandits left grass. Today, Hutou Village has become a military camp under the rule of the Tiger Character Banner for many years.
There used to be a mountain temple in Hutou Village, and the bandits on the mountain settled in the temple. Now it has been bulldozed and built into rows of barracks.
The Tiger Character Banner stationed a battalion of soldiers and horses on the mountain.
It was originally a combat barracks under Jia Liu's command and was stationed in Hutou Village. As the personal division moved north to the grassland, the soldiers and horses left in Hutou Village became a supply camp.
The baggage battalion belongs to the second-line troops of the Tiger Banner and is mainly used to escort goods and supplement the shortage of the war barracks.
However, all the training of the baggage troops is closer to that of the combat soldiers. All kinds of training are the same, but the weapons and equipment are given priority to the war soldiers, and the baggage troops are equipped secondly.
Tiger Character Banner built a Martyrs' Shrine on Hutou Village Mountain. As the last war camp left, all the memorial tablets in the Martyrs' Shrine were moved to the grassland.
Today, there are many vacant houses on Hutou Village Mountain, and there is no liveliness in the past. The sound of cannons that used to be heard every day has long been stopped.
If you want to hear the sound of cannons, they will only sound when the artillery team of the supply camp is training.
"Yingzheng, call everyone here. Has something happened?" The speaker was a strong man. He walked to the bench next to him and sat down.
Then, he took out his pipe and tobacco, sat on the bench and started smoking.
"Wait a minute, there are still two thousand-man troops who have not arrived yet." The person who spoke was Liao Junyi, the commander of the supply camp stationed in Hutou Village. He had a slightly darker appearance and looked at least five years older than his actual age.
There is a table and several benches in the room.
There is a bench on each side of the table. There is a distance in front of the table, and several benches are placed side by side in several rows.
"Come on, Chief of Staff Ye, try this from me. It's definitely strong enough." The strong man said to Ye Yuncheng, who was sitting opposite, and at the same time handed Ye Yuncheng from his purse containing shredded tobacco.
The strong man who spoke was Du Yan, the deputy battalion commander of the supply camp. He was sitting on a bench next to the table.
The person sitting at the head of the table is Liao Junyi, the commander of the supply camp.
After Ye Yuncheng arrived at Lingqiu from Xinpingbao, he took his appointment document and became the chief of staff of the supply camp stationed in Hutou Village.
"My tobacco is almost done, let me try your tobacco today." Ye Yuncheng took the purse with a smile, opened it, pinched out some tobacco, skillfully stuffed it into the pipe, and then lit it with a fire stick.
When it comes to smoking, he is one of the earliest people in Huzi Banner.
When Huzi Banner first started growing tobacco, Huzi Banner had not officially sold tobacco as goods. Many people in Huzi Banner did not know what tobacco was, and as an attendant of the attendant team, he had already begun to pass Zhao Wu Smoking.
The two men, one on the left and the other on the right, started blowing smoke from their pipes.
The ordinary staff officers sitting on the bench below and the people sent to the meeting by various thousand-man teams, as long as they could smoke, also smoked in their own way.
Not long after, smoke filled the room.
Fortunately, almost all the people in the room smoked, so no one disliked anyone.
After about a pack of cigarettes, the door of the house was pushed open and several men walked in from the outside.
"Don't worry about the door, just leave it open!" Liao Junyi said to the man who came in last, preventing him from closing the door.
There were really too many people smoking in the room and the smoke was so heavy that even he, a smoker, couldn't stand it.
The door of the house was just open, and the smoke was blown away little by little by the cool breeze coming in from outside.
Fortunately, it was daytime, when the sun was high, and everyone in the house was wearing thick clothes, and there was a stove in the house, so it wasn't that cold.
"Everyone is here, put out your cigarettes and let's have a meeting." Liang Junyi tapped his fingers on the table.
The room became quiet, and the few people still smoking knocked the tobacco in their pipes to the ground and crushed them.
"Chief of Staff, what are you talking about?" Liao Junyi turned his head and asked Ye Yuncheng on his left.
Ye Yuncheng smiled and said, "It's up to you, Ying Zheng, to speak!"
"Okay, let me tell you, if there is anything I haven't mentioned, remember to help me fill it in." Liang Junyi withdrew his gaze.
Ye Yuncheng nodded.
Ahem!
Liao Junyi coughed twice, hit the table with his hands, leaned forward slightly with his upper body, and said: "I have brought you all here today, there is nothing else but one thing, that is, the situation in Lingqiu is starting to go wrong, and as the proprietors, we The last armed force left in Lingqiu must guard Lingqiu for the owner and cannot let Lingqiu fall into our hands."
As he spoke, he glanced around at the staff officers and the various members of the Thousand-Man Corps in front of him.
"The Lingqiu garrison camp has a new garrison. I think you have all heard about it. Moreover, according to the news sent by people from the Foreign Intelligence Bureau in the county, some squires in Lingqiu have recently begun to secretly communicate with this garrison. Contact, as for what to do, you can guess some of it." Liao Junyi said.
The staff officers sitting below were better off, because they were staff officers and had already learned some things in advance. On the other hand, the people from the major thousand-man teams all frowned.
Although there is a heavy supply battalion of soldiers and horses stationed in Hutou Village, there are actually only soldiers and horses of one thousand-man team. The remaining two thousand-man teams, one is stationed in Xujiazhuang and the other is stationed in Tiechang. , the three thousand-man teams will basically change their posts about once a month, and only the artillery team has remained in Hutou Village.
"Let me say a few words!" Ye Yuncheng said, "Since the beginning of the year, the imperial court has been taking constant actions. First, it replaced the governor of Datong, and then replaced the general army of Datong. Not only that, but also expanded the border army. All the performances in the camp indicate that the imperial court is preparing to deal with our tiger-character flag. The Lingqiu garrison who just came to take office after the year is also here to target our tiger-character flag. So everyone here, starting from today , the soldiers and horses in each of your hands must be prepared at all times. If the court suddenly sends troops against our Tiger Flag, your soldiers and horses can fight as long as they are drawn out, and they must not be pulled out."
"Please rest assured, Yingzheng and the Chief of Staff, a thousand-man team under your command can handle the soldiers and horses guarding the camp, and we will never give them a chance to attack our tiger flag." A member of the thousand-man team below said. .
Liao Junyi looked at the captain who was speaking and scolded with a smile: "We all know the moral character of the soldiers and horses guarding the camp. If you can't even deal with them, go away and become new recruits for me one by one." Don’t even be the captain or deputy captain, it’s not enough to embarrass me.”
"hey-hey!"
The people below from various thousand-man teams laughed out loud.
