Several people looked at each other, and finally Chen Xunping stood up and said: "Proprietor, the Prince Dai's Mansion has been packed out. How about moving to Prince Dai's Mansion? It's bright and spacious, there are more rooms, and more importantly, there is nobility in it. It’s most suitable for you, the proprietor, to stay here.”
"I just saw that none of you opened your mouth. You thought it was a big deal. Such a small matter is worth a trip in person." Liu Heng threw the last piece of cake into his mouth and chewed it.
Pick up the porridge bowl, take a sip, and use the gruel to eat the chewed pancakes in your mouth.
Zhang Sancha answered from the side: "You should be the host of Prince Dai's Mansion to live in it. It wouldn't be a waste if it were free."
"Well, that makes sense. It really shouldn't be wasted." Liu Heng nodded in agreement.
Zhang Sancha looked happy and continued: "Proprietor, why don't you move in today and work there from now on. There are plenty of rooms anyway. I will send all the maids and eunuchs there to serve the proprietor." .”
There are also some maids and eunuchs in the palace, but naturally they cannot compare with the number of maids and eunuchs in the imperial palace in the capital, and their power cannot be compared with the maids and eunuchs in the palace.
"Who said I was going to live in Prince Dai's Mansion?" Liu Heng glanced at Zhang Sancha and said, "It's fine if I live here in the main town office. There is no need to move to Prince Dai's Mansion."
Several people on the seats were stunned when they heard this.
Chen Xunping couldn't help but said: "Proprietor, although the Prince's Palace is not as good as the palace in the capital, it is built according to the layout of the palace in Yingtian Mansion. I have gone inside and it is magnificent. Only you, the proprietor, are qualified to become the Palace of Dai." The master of the palace."
"Today I live in the Prince's Mansion. Should I be crowned emperor tomorrow? I will grant you titles and titles the day after tomorrow. Everyone contributes to the founding of the country?" Liu Heng put down his porridge bowl and looked at the people in front of him. Looked around.
Chen Xunping said: "Even if you don't claim the title of emperor, as the proprietor, you are still qualified to claim the title of king. The Daiwang Palace in Datong City can be used as your palace."
Zhang Sancha on the side nodded vigorously in agreement.
"Nonsense!" Liu Heng's expression darkened.
Several people present subconsciously sat up straight and upright.
Liu Heng glanced at several people one by one, and said immediately: "Now that we have just captured Datong City, each of them has begun to prepare to be the founding hero. They are short-sighted and are complacent with some achievements. They are simply not allowed to have a seat at the table." .”
The angry Liu Heng couldn't help but cursed.
When the Tiger Character Banner captured the Tumote tribe, these people below had the idea of letting him become the king. Unexpectedly, they had just captured Datong City, and this idea of the people below had reared its head again.
This also gave him the idea of strengthening the ideological work of the team again.
In the past, he only arranged for people from the Internal Affairs Bureau to monitor the inside of Tiger Flag to prevent betrayal or other bad things from happening.
But now he found that he needed to guide the thoughts of the people below him, instead of being complacent as soon as he made some achievements and thinking about making kings and breaking earth all day long.
In his opinion, the idea of being rich and satisfied is undesirable.
In such a big era, being a little rich means that it will be crushed by the giant wheel of the times. If the Tiger Flag wants to be the best, it must not have this idea of enjoying wealth and happiness.
Once a force fails to make progress, the force group is not far away from extinction. Even the most powerful force group cannot avoid such an end.
"Proprietor, we all understand what you mean. With the current situation, our tiger-character flag cannot relax its vigilance. The imperial army may arrive at any time. But it would be a waste if the Prince's Palace is left empty." Zhang Hong raised his head. He looked at Liu Heng and said.
Liu Heng took a sip of porridge and said: "I have other uses in the Prince's Mansion. The most urgent task now is to deal with the imperial army coming from Taiyuan."
After drinking the last mouthful of porridge, he stood up and walked towards the map hanging on the wall.
This map is no longer a map of Datong alone, but a map of the entire northern Ming Dynasty, including Beizhili.
"You all come over and look at the map." Liu Heng called a few people to him, then pointed to a place on the map and said, "I just received news that the army from Taiyuan has entered Datong and has arrived at Shuo The area around Zhoucheng.”
He pointed his finger at the place marked Shuozhou City on the map and nodded.
Although the Tiger Banner army captured Datong City, Xi'an Fort and Huairen City to the south were not captured and were still under the rule of the Ming army, not to mention Shuozhou City and Shanyin County further south.
"It's only over two hundred miles from Shuozhou to Datong City. In a day or two at most, the military outpost will appear outside Datong City." Zhang Hong frowned.
Liu Heng said: "The fact that you can think of this means that you have not been dazzled by the victory in taking Datong City, and you know that the enemy is about to attack the city."
"With the defense of Datong City, as long as troops are stationed at Gaoshan City and Settlement City to form an angle, it will be difficult for the enemy to break through Datong City." Chen Xunping said.
Liu Heng nodded and said: "This can indeed save Datong City, but have you ever thought about it, if not just the troops coming from the direction of Taiyuan are coming?"
"If several armies come towards our Datong City, then we will be in trouble. Even if we can defend Datong City, we cannot hold it forever. After all, our troops are not as strong as the Ming Dynasty. As long as we surround Datong City and attack the surrounding areas Other border forts have turned Datong City into an isolated city, and it is difficult for us to defend it all the time." Zhang Hong said with a frown.
Zhang Sancha interjected at this time: "It is not difficult to defend Datong City. The difficulty is that the Ming court can mobilize troops and horses to Datong at any time, but our troops and horses are limited. There are too many troops and horses on the grassland, and it is difficult to protect the power on the grassland. Not ready to make a move."
Several people expressed their suggestions one after another.
Only Jia Liu remained silent, staring at the map on the wall in deep thought.
"Others have talked about their own methods of defending against enemies. Jia Shizheng, tell me what you think too." Liu Heng asked Jia Liu.
Jia Liu looked away from the map and said, "May I ask the proprietor, how many soldiers and horses are coming from Taiyuan? When will the other armies arrive?"
"Twenty thousand troops came from the direction of Taiyuan, which is known to the outside world as a fifty thousand army. The other armies will arrive in Datong later," Liu Heng said.
Jia Liu thought for a while and said: "If there are only 20,000 troops, we don't need to passively defend Datong City. We are fully capable of eating this army somewhere outside the city, and then wait for other imperial troops to arrive. .”
"Continue." Liu Heng became interested.
All three of the four generals of the Tiger Flag wanted to rely on Datong City to defend against the enemy. Only Jia Liu's suggestion was different from the three, which made Liu Heng's eyes light up.
Jia Liu looked at the map, pointed to a place above, and said: "Fort Xi'an is between Shuozhou City and Datong City. It is also in the hands of the Ming army. My subordinates feel that we can dare to attack Taiyuan's army." Before arriving, seize Xi'an Fort in advance, wait for the arrival of the officers and soldiers, and then fight decisively with the officers and soldiers outside the city."
