Datong City.
After the period when the Tiger Character Banner was operating in Datong City, although it was not as prosperous as before, the lives of the people have returned to normal, except that there are fewer businessmen from various places traveling to and from Datong City.
For merchants from all over the country, the rebellion in Datong was not over yet, and few merchants dared to come to Datong to do business despite the great disapproval.
In Datong City, the most lively and talked about place is no longer the Four Archways, but the Prince Dai's Mansion.
As the palace of the vassal prince, it is difficult for ordinary people, even the gentry and officials in Datong City, to enter the vassal prince's palace.
The Palace of Dai Wang was built based on the palace of Yingtian Palace. Although it is smaller in scale, the layout of many palaces is the same as that of the palace of Yingtian Palace.
For many people, they cannot enter the palace, but if they have the opportunity to visit the Prince's Palace in person, they can enjoy it with their children and grandchildren for a lifetime.
In the words of later generations, Prince Dai's Mansion has become a hot spot in Datong City.
Even some ordinary people are willing to spend a few big bucks to visit the Prince's Palace. Even if the money can't visit all the palaces, they will be satisfied after entering a few doors.
Compared with ordinary people who are keen to visit the palace of Dai Wang, the squires in the city are even more willing to spend money.
Every once in a while, I go to Dai Wang's Mansion to enjoy the food cooked by the royal chef. The food may not be as delicious as the food at home, but it is eaten in Dai Wang's Mansion, and the cook who cooks is also the chef in Dai Wang's Mansion who specializes in serving Dai Wang.
The scholars in the city were even more attracted to Prince Dai's Mansion. They gathered their friends there all day long and held various literary meetings. They wished they could stay in Prince Dai's Mansion every day and even recited a few more poems than usual.
Of course, they also bring a steady stream of income to the Tiger Flag.
"Proprietor, the personal military division has sent news." Zhao Wu quickly walked into Liu Heng's office with an official document in his hand.
After the Tiger Character Banner occupied Datong City, the Prince Dai's Mansion became a tourist attraction, the governor's office was left to Zhao Yutu, and the general town office became the place where Liu Heng was in charge.
"Bring it here quickly." Liu Heng reached out for it after hearing the news about the personal soldier division.
Zhao Wu held the official document in both hands and handed it to Liu Heng's hand.
The official document is only a thin piece of paper, which records the battle between the personal division and the officers and soldiers who came to Taiyuan, including various seizures and the number of prisoners.
In addition, there is also the seal of the Guards Division stamped below.
After reading the official document in his hand, Liu Heng put it on the table and laughed: "With the experience of this war, Jia Liu has been trained. Our Tiger Flag has another tiger general."
It was his intention to send the Guards Division to Xi'an Fort.
Jia Liu proposed a decisive battle with the Taiyuan army in the Xi'an Fort area, which was only one reason for the Guards Division to go south. Another reason was that the Guards Division had never experienced a battle with more than 10,000 people.
Jia Liu, who was in the middle of several divisions and had only one personal division, had never had such an experience.
When the Tiger Character Banner army went north to the grassland to fight with the grassland tribes dominated by the Tumut tribe, the personal soldiers division was left in Lingqiu. When the personal soldier division was transferred to the grassland, the Tiger Zi Banner and the Tumut tribe's The war is over.
Later, when they attacked Datong City, several combat divisions acted together, but there were not even a few thousand defenders in the city.
Among all the division commanders of Tiger Character Banner, only Jia Liu has the lowest qualifications.
In order to allow Jia Liu and his personal division to mature, the entire battle with the Taiyuan army was given to Jia Liu to command. Just in case, the only cavalry battalion was sent there.
Liu Heng was very happy.
The growth of Jia Liuhe's personal soldiers made him even happier than the victory over the Taiyuan army.
The Tiger-Character Flag has been officially unveiled in front of the Ming court. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the princes in the court will never let the Tiger-Character Flag go easily. There will be more and more battles over the Tiger-Character Flag in the future.
Only by having more and more outstanding generals can the Tiger Flag be able to cope with the complex situation in the future.
"Jia Shizheng indeed fought brightly in this battle, with little loss. He also captured Taiyuan's commander-in-chief, Jie Shigong." Zhao Wu said with a smile.
At the same time, he walked to the stove, lifted the teapot on it and put it aside, and then added some coal to the stove.
Liu Heng asked: "Did Mr. Jie Shigong be escorted back as well?"
"That's not true. I just sent the messenger back, and he will probably be escorted back to Datong along with the other prisoners!" Zhao Wu resealed the stove and put the teapot on the stove lid.
Liu Heng tapped his fingers back and forth on the table a few times, and then said: "Order the personal soldiers to seize Yingzhou City as soon as possible, and tell Jia Liu that other armies from the imperial court will arrive soon."
"Yes, my subordinates will arrange for the attendant team to issue orders to the personal division." Zhao Wu responded, turning around and walking to the room next door where the attendant team had their office.
The team of attendants is dedicated to conveying orders to Liu Heng, drafting official documents, and handling some simple official affairs. With the current scale of Tiger Character Flag, if Liu Heng does everything by himself, he will be exhausted even to death. over.
The team of attendants shared a large part of Liu Heng's energy.
Not long after going to the next room, Zhao Wu returned to Liu Heng's office again.
"Master, please take a look, this is what the attendant team has just drawn up." Zhao Wu put the things he brought from the attendant team on Liu Heng's office table.
Liu Heng picked up the teapot at hand and took a sip of water. Then he glanced at the official document and said, "Use the seal and send someone to the personal division immediately."
The official document is the order Liu Heng just issued to the personal division.
Zhao Wu picked up the seal on the corner of the table and stamped it on the official document. After finishing it, he sent it to the attendant team and handed it to the attendant team, who sent it to the personal army division in Yingzhou.
"Proprietor, Qingcheng just sent a list, and a group of people came with it." Zhao Wu, who had left not long ago, returned to Liu Heng's office.
Liu Heng took a look at the list and asked, "Where are the people who came?"
"I just arrived at the main town office and haven't had time to make arrangements yet. Do you want to meet me?" Zhao Wu asked.
Liu Heng thought for a while and said: "I'll just disappear and send it directly to Mr. Zhao. Send it to the states and counties as soon as possible. There is a serious shortage of people down there, so don't delay."
"Yes." Zhao Wu turned around and walked out.
"Wait a minute." Liu Heng suddenly called out to Zhao Wu who was about to walk out, and immediately said, "It's better to go and see them. These people are the talents who will govern the local area in the future of our Tiger Flag. Can the Tiger Flag stand firm in Datong?" Heel, we still need to rely on them.”
With that said, he stood up and left the office with Zhao Wu.
Huzi Banner initially established a military training hall just to train officers. Later, it added some courses to train shop owners. Later, after moving to the grassland, it simply trained officers and cultivated talents to govern the local area.
As the first place occupied by the Tiger Character Banner, the Tumote Department began to use the talents cultivated by the Tiger Character Banner to govern.
It can be said that the Tiger Character Banner knows nothing about local governance. It can only think about what to do, and correct what it finds. Fortunately, the Tumut Department has always been an extensive management, and nothing serious has happened under the governance of the Tiger Character Banner. Big bounce.
Precisely because of the Tumut Department to practice their skills, the political staff of Tiger Character Banner gradually matured.
The personnel transferred from the grassland this time, in addition to some political personnel who were originally in charge of the Tumut Department, were also students from the Jiangwu Hall.
Using the old-to-new approach, these trainees can grow up as quickly as possible and become qualified local management talents.
