Ye Yuncheng was born in Liu Heng's team of attendants. He had been exposed to information gathered from the Foreign Intelligence Agency from all over the world, and his horizons had been greatly improved.
He knows better than many people inside the Tiger Flag.
With Tiger Flag's current strength, although it is not afraid of the imperial court, it is still not as strong as the imperial court after all.
It was not easy for the imperial court to eradicate the Tiger-Charactered Banner, and it was equally difficult for the Tiger-Charactered Banner to overthrow the Ming Dynasty.
He could see clearly that only when the Ming Dynasty was in chaos, their tiger-character flag would become more stable.
"I heard that over in Liaodong, the old slave made some order and killed many Han people living in Liaodong." Du Yan glanced at Liao Junyi next to him.
He knew that Liao Junyi came from Liaodong.
"Don't look at me like that, I have no family in Liaodong anymore." Liao Junyi noticed Du Yan looking at him with a slightly heavy expression.
Too many people in Liaodong died. Every time slaves and bandits broke through, they would burn, kill and loot. It was at that time that his family died in the hands of slaves and bandits.
He was the only one left in the Liao family to escape from Liaodong alive.
"Please also express my condolences to Ying Zheng." Ye Yuncheng, who was at hand, patted Liao Junyi's forearm and said comfortingly, "Sooner or later, our tiger-character flag will go to Liaodong to avenge Ying Zheng and your family."
Du Yan put down the pipe in his hand, slapped the table and said: "That's right, we will go to Liaodong sooner or later, kill all the slaves and thieves, and avenge the Han people who died unjustly at the hands of the slaves and thieves."
The miserable situation of the Han people living under the rule of slaves and thieves makes people cry.
The Ming court was concerned about the stability of the situation in Liaodong. Regarding the hot-tempered Han people who lived under the rule of slaves and thieves, they only mentioned it in one or two sentences in the memorial.
The princes in the court may not care about the ordinary people who have fallen to the enemy, and may even classify the Han people under the rule of slaves and thieves as rebels.
However, in the military reports issued within the Tiger Character Banner, it was stated which fort the slave thieves had captured in Liaodong and how many Han people they had massacred, including the old slave who said that he was looking for people who had no grain and openly carried out genocide against the Han people.
Everything was written down one by one in the military newspaper.
Tiger-Character Banner was a trading name in the north of the Ming Dynasty. Many of the soldiers and horses of Tiger-Character Banner came from Datong, Shaanxi-Gansu and other places. Many people had only heard about the brutality of the Liaodong slave thieves, but had no idea at all.
Since then, what the slave thieves did in Liaodong has been written in the military newspaper inside the Tiger Character Banner. In addition, the Tiger Character Banner also has many people who have escaped from Liaodong telling it personally, making it more clear to everyone that the slave thieves are in Liaodong. What have been done.
From top to bottom of the tiger-shaped flag, as long as slaves and thieves are mentioned, everyone will gnash their teeth.
"I don't know when the proprietor will lead us to Liaodong." Liao Junyi pounded the table with his right fist.
All seven members of his family died at the hands of slaves and thieves.
Therefore, his hatred for slave thieves far exceeds the other two people around him.
"The proprietor doesn't have any good feelings towards the slave thieves. Last year, our people killed a team of slave thieves on the grassland, so Yingzheng, don't worry. Sooner or later, the proprietor will lead us to kill all the slave thieves and pay tribute to those who died." The Han people take revenge." Ye Yuncheng consoled him.
Du Yan, who was sitting across the table, also said: "I have also heard about this matter. It is said that the slave thieves from Liaodong and the Mongols want to rob our Tiger Flag's convoy."
"Actually, the cause of the matter was that a group of slave thieves went to Qingcheng and wanted our Tiger Flag to sell grain and iron to them. The proprietor did not agree and drove the people directly out of Qingcheng. In the end, all these people died. On the grassland, the slave thieves later sent a group of soldiers and horses to rob our tiger-character flag convoy." Ye Yuncheng explained the whole story.
When the slave thief went to Qingcheng, he was still an attendant of the attendant team, so he knew the whole story clearly.
"So that's what happened." Du Yan suddenly realized.
Although he participated in the war between the Huzi Banner and the Tumut tribe in the north, he did not stay in Qingcheng. Instead, he returned to Lingqiu and assisted Liao Junyi in setting up the supply camp. Therefore, he only had a partial understanding of some things on the grassland, unlike Ye Yuncheng. Know so clearly.
Liao Junyi looked at the two colleagues around him and said with a smile: "You don't need to comfort me. I believe that our Tiger Flag will kill Liaodong one day sooner or later. Don't forget, the proprietor and the deputy director are both on the same page." The slaves and thieves have irresolvable grudges."
Several high-level officials of the Tiger Banner, like him, had escaped from Liaodong, and many of them had family members who died in the hands of slaves and thieves in Liaodong.
And he knew in his heart that if the proprietor wanted to resolve the hatred between the Tiger Character Banner and the slaves and thieves, he would not refuse to do business with the slaves and thieves, let alone write so many stories in the military newspaper about the slaves and thieves killing Han people. matter.
"I have the same idea as Ying Zheng, and I also think that sooner or later the proprietor will lead us to Liaodong to kill the slave thieves." Du Yan said, "If we weren't too far away from Liaodong, and there are several Mongolian tribes in between, maybe we would be here now We have already reached Liaodong to fight against the slave thieves. I will definitely kill ten thousand slave thieves by then. Let’s see how shameless these slave thieves can be in boasting that they are invincible.”
The phrase "the slaves and thieves are invincible" was used to describe Wanyan Jurchen in the Song Dynasty, but now it is used by Jianzhou Jurchen on himself.
Such words reached the ears of many generals in the Tiger Banner, causing many officers in the Tiger Banner to clamor to teach the slave thieves in Liaodong a lesson.
The soldiers and horses of the Tiger Character Banner defeated the Ming Dynasty border army and conquered the Tumote tribe. Each victory gave the officers of the Tiger Character Banner their own pride.
This also made every officer who came from the Tiger Flag sneer at the boast of the slave thieves being invincible.
In their hearts, the soldiers and horses of their Tiger-Character Flag are the most powerful soldiers and horses in the world. Although they have not officially fought against the soldiers and horses of the slave thieves, they never think that the slave thieves are their opponents of the Tiger-Character Flag.
Ye Yuncheng said with a smile: "Just listen to the words that they are invincible. This is the Ming army's excuse for their incompetence. If the slave thieves were really so powerful, they would have broken through Shanhaiguan and entered the capital long ago."
When they were still in the attendant team, the people in their attendant team analyzed the words of invincibility spread by the slave thieves, and knew that this was a kind of propaganda by the slave thieves to make the Ming army fear the slave thieves.
Only incompetent people would believe this.
"Okay, let's not talk about Liaodong." Liao Junyi interrupted the conversation between the two people and said, "For us, the top priority is the problem of the Ming Dynasty court, which is related to the foundation of our Tiger Flag. matter."
The slave thieves are too far away from their Tiger-Character Banner. It is difficult for the Tiger-Character Banner to launch a large-scale war against the slave thieves in Liaodong. The same is true for the slave thieves.
Only the Ming Dynasty could directly deal with the Tiger Flag economically and militarily.
