Li Shuheng nodded and said, "I will make detailed marriage conditions when I get back, so that those who meet the conditions will have priority to date Mongolian women."
"There should also be a restriction on age. Those who are too young will not participate in this blind date with Mongolian women. We should stick to those older people first, but we must ensure that those who participate in the blind date have joined the Tiger Flag for two years." Liu Heng said.
The people who joined the Tiger Banner two years ago had all participated in the war between the Tiger Banner and the Tumote tribe.
Li Shuheng nodded and said: "Then we will take two years as a line and require a certain level of officers or sergeants. I will count the number of people later."
Officers of the Tiger Flag must pass the assessment and can be promoted only after passing the examination.
There are also some soldiers who don't like to study, but have rich combat experience and have made many military exploits, so they can enjoy the treatment of officers at relevant levels and become sergeants.
Becoming a sergeant major means that those soldiers who have made meritorious service for the Tiger Flag will not be wronged.
The position of sergeant major was also proposed by Liu Heng to be implemented in all major war divisions in Tiger Banner.
After all, in the Ming Dynasty, it didn't matter whether the generals were literate or not, as long as they could lead troops to charge and kill, all matters of layout and formation were done by civilian commanders.
In the Tiger Banner, there is no tradition of using civility to control the military. In order to ensure that the officers of the Tiger Banner can fight well and win the war, illiterate people are not qualified to become officers of the Tiger Banner, nor will they be promoted in the military. .
"I will arrange a team of attendants to cooperate with you and strive to distribute the regulations to every combat division in the next few days. I promised Harbala that we will hold a bonfire dinner in half a month, which can be regarded as the first blind date for both parties." Liu Heng said.
Li Shuheng thought for a while and said: "The time is too short. Except for the soldiers and horses stationed near Qingcheng, the soldiers and horses stationed in other places far away have no time to come and participate."
"This time, we will focus on the people around Qingcheng first, and it will also be convenient for them to settle here. The key is that we have to set up the red line for marriage. As long as the requirements of this red line are met, you can also find the woman of your choice to get married. ." Liu Heng said.
Li Shuheng nodded.
The marriage between the Tiger-Character Banner and the Tumut Tribe will allow the Tiger-Character Banner to better integrate into the grassland. It will also allow many ordinary herdsmen of the Tumut Tribe to let go of their last worries.
A few months later, some Tiger Banner officers married Mongolian women.
Although there are not many Mongolian women who marry officers of the Tiger Flag, this marriage has obviously reduced some Mongolians' resistance to the Tiger Flag.
In addition, the Tiger-Character Banner's rule over the herdsmen is far less harsh than that of the nobles of the Tumut tribe in the past. This has also made more and more ordinary herdsmen identify with the Tiger-Character Banner's rule.

The entrance to Bengang on Taiyuan Island.
Zheng Tie held a monocular in his hand and looked at the ships on the sea approaching the island.
Every once in a while, there will be ships from Dagukou to Dayu Island, or through Dayu Island to Kyushu Island and Luzon.
After the development of Huzi Banner in the past few years, Damuan Island has cultivated a lot of fields. At the same time, sugar cane has been specially planted to squeeze sugar, and then sell the sugar to the Ming Dynasty or the Hongmao Yi.
In addition to sugar, there are deer on the island.
The Hongmao barbarians have a great demand for fur goods, and Zheng Tie will also sell various furs and deerskins transported by ship from Dagukou to the Red Mao barbarians.
The two lucky boats on the sea slowly approached the harbor and finally docked at the pier of the harbor.
The crew on the ship began to unload cargo from the ship, and some cargo stacked on the dock also began to be lifted onto the ship.
Every time a ship docks at the pier, it makes the pier look very lively.
In addition to the pier on Taiyuan Island, Tiger Flag also has an inner harbor. However, generally ships will not enter the inner harbor and will only stay at the outer pier.
The ships in the inner harbor are all warships built by the Tiger Flag, including eight Galen ships, five offshore sand ships, and even more smaller ships.
In addition to this, there are some keels under construction.
"Commander, there is news about Penghu." Yan Weixin led the people quickly to a high place not far from the port.
And Zheng Tie is standing here.
Zheng Tie turned around, looked at Yan Weixin who had climbed to a high place, and asked, "Who won in Penghu?"
"Fujian general general Yu Zigao led the firearms battalion and defeated the Hongmao barbarians one after another, so that the Hongmao barbarians had to huddle in Hongmao City. Later, Nan Juyi, the governor of Fujian, issued a death order, and they could no longer attack Penghu. The generals who attacked Penghu had to come forward, and this time they quickly broke through Hongmao City and captured the Hongmao barbarian commander Gao Wenlu." Yan Weixin said breathlessly.
The run from the port was too fast, my chest was heaving and I was gasping for breath.
Zheng Tie put down the monocular telescope in his hand and said: "The Ming Navy fought this battle for almost seven months, and the Red-haired Barbarians only had more than a thousand sailors and a few warships."
"There is nothing we can do about it. The broken ships of the Ming Dynasty cannot be compared with the red-haired barbarian warships. This is in Penghu. If it were at sea, the Ming Navy would have twice as many ships. It’s useless.” Yan Weixin sighed.
It took so long for the Ming Navy to regain Penghu, which really made him feel sad.
Zheng Tie said with emotion: "It's pitiful that those soldiers who died trying to regain Penghu were all good men of the Han family, but they died in the hands of the red-haired Yi."
"Who can blame this? Daming himself didn't live up to expectations, otherwise the red-haired barbarians wouldn't have been able to fight at the door of his house." Yan Weixin said.
Those of them on Taiyuan Island are very familiar with the strength of the Red Mao Yi.
The ships of the Tiger Flag have also fought against the red-haired Yi ships at sea many times. Both sides have won and lost, but they also know that the other side is not easy to mess with. In addition, the ships of the Tiger Flag can bring enough products of the Ming Dynasty, which makes The Hongmao Yi gradually reduced their targeting of ships with the Tiger Flag.
However, merchants and pirates in this era have never separated. As long as the ships leave the port and there is an opportunity to attack, the Red Mao Yi ships will never let go of plundering those ships that lack self-protection at sea.
Compared with the ships of the Hongmao Yi, the ships passing by the Ming Dynasty were far inferior in firepower to the ships of the Hongmao Yi.
It is common for an ordinary red-haired barbarian merchant ship to have more than ten or twenty naval guns on board, but the Ming Dynasty's ships often did not even have one.
The maritime merchants of the Ming Dynasty always dared to go to sea only when multiple ships came together to form a fleet.
Except for the merchants under Li Dan, only the fleet with the Tiger Flag dared to go to Luzon and Hongmao Yi alone to do business.
Zheng Tie looked at the calm sea in front of him and said: "Since the red-haired barbarians have been driven out of Penghu by the Ming Navy, we should also prepare for war."
"Commander, are you worried that the Ming Dynasty Navy will come to Damuan Island?" Yan Weixin raised his eyebrows.
