Big win! Big win!
On their way to Qingcheng, some cavalrymen brought back news of the Tiger Character Banner's victory over the Qing army.
Sun Chuanting, who was the mayor of Banshengdi, grinned heartily while standing on the ground when he heard that the tiger-character flag had defeated the Qing army.
Whether the Jurchens call themselves Dajin or Daqing, they are all foreigners in his eyes.
As a traditional scholar, I always adhere to the principle that people who are not of my race must have different minds.
Ming Dynasty has never benefited from Da Jin. Instead, it sends massive amounts of gold, silver and various materials to Liaodong every year because of Da Jin.
In addition, a large number of people died tragically at the hands of slaves and thieves.
But no matter how much he hated the great gold back then, he could not change the incompetence of the Ming army in Liaodong. Not only could they not protect the people of Liaodong, but they lost the city and fell to the ground. On the contrary, the money they demanded from the court not only did not decrease, but continued to increase.
Now that he heard the news of the Qing army's defeat on the grassland, he was excited.
Even though he is no longer an official of the Ming Dynasty, the Tiger-Character Banner is still a force established by the Han people. The Tiger-Character Banner defeated the Qing army, which is enough to show that the Han people are still powerful, and not just foreigners can peek at the artifacts of the Central Plains.
"Mayor, you have been busy for a long time, please drink some water!" An official who accompanied Sun Chuanting to inspect the fields handed him a water bag.
Sun Chuanting waved his hand, and then asked: "Did you hear clearly what the fast rider who passed by just now shouted?"
He was afraid that he had heard wrongly and was happy for nothing.
In fact, all I heard in Ming Dynasty was bad news. When I suddenly heard such good news, I couldn't believe it.
"I heard clearly, I'm talking about the Qing army's defeat, and Marshal Zhang and the others won." The other party replied.
"Okay, okay!" Sun Chuanting, who was sure he heard correctly, laughed and said immediately, "Let's go back. We must have a few drinks today and call everyone in the yamen. I invite you. Let’s have wine together.”
As he spoke, Sun Chuanting jumped from the field ridge to the dirt road next to him.
The officials who followed him felt Sun Chuanting's joy.
Although it was a happy thing that his army defeated the Qing army, Sun Chuanting was a little too happy.
However, it is naturally a good thing to have someone treat you to a drink.
Not long after Ban Shengdi waited for the news of victory, Qingcheng also quickly received the news.
Some caravans who came to Qingcheng to do business originally hid in Qingcheng because they were afraid that they would encounter Qing troops on their way back after learning about the Qing army's attack.
Now that they heard the news about the victory of the Tiger Flag, everyone walked out of their residences and came to the street to join the crowd celebrating the victory on the street.
Most businessmen don't like war.
Except for a few businessmen who are accustomed to making war fortunes, most businessmen prefer to do business in peace.
These merchants who came to Qingcheng to do business preferred the Tiger Flag to the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Nothing else, just because the Tiger Character Flag is fair and will not set up cards everywhere. As long as you pay the business tax that should be paid, there will be no other taxes, let alone the Ming Dynasty that constantly takes advantage of businessmen. .
The commercial tax on the tiger-shaped flag may be heavier, but merchants don't need to spend additional money to manage those officials, and they don't have to worry about anyone coming to trouble the caravan.
Not only are there no official troubles, there are also less troubles on the underworld.
Businessmen traveling to and from the territory of the Tiger Character Banner all know that there are very few people like horse thieves and bandits in the territory of the Tiger Character Banner who are interested in caravans. Whenever people like horse thieves and bandits appear to attack passing caravans, they will immediately attract people. A thunderous strike from the tiger-shaped flag army.
Because of the fairness and stability in Huzi Banner, more and more businessmen like to do business here in Huzi Banner.
Even here in Qingcheng, there are many caravans coming from the Ming Dynasty in the south.
There is another special place in Qingcheng.
This was once the palace of Ada Khan.
Since the death of the fortune-telling rabbit, Omubuhong has lived in this palace as the new Khan of the Tumote tribe.
It's just that he, the Great Khan, has only one name and no other power.
Not only him, but also some of the original tribal Taijis have now become wealthy men in Qingcheng. They only have the wealth they have accumulated over the years, but they don’t have any soldiers in their hands.
Although Ombuhong was a pro-Khan in name only, he lived a good life.
At first, after the Tiger Character Banner occupied Qingcheng, he was worried that the Tiger Character Banner's people would kill him. But as time went by, he found that the Tiger Character Banner had no intention of attacking him. Slowly disappearing without a trace.
As soon as people no longer have anything to worry about, they immediately become relaxed and fat.
This is what happened to Ombuhong. His whole body grew sideways. Over the years, his whole body almost turned into a fat ball. He would be out of breath even after walking a few steps.
"What's going on outside! Why is it so noisy!" Ombuhong sat up from the bed with a dissatisfied look on his face.
I drank too late last night and drank too much, so I slept until noon.
"In the words of the Great Khan, the Tiger Character Banner defeated the invading Qing army. At this moment, the streets are celebrating victory." A Mongolian soldier explained to Ombuhong.
Ombuhong rubbed his eyes and asked: "Whose army is the Qing army? Is there another force on the grassland? Is it from Mobei or Baicheng?"
"No, the Qing army today is the Jin army in the past. The Jin army in the past is now the Qing Dynasty. Huang Taiji ascended the throne and proclaimed himself the emperor and founded the country. The Qing Dynasty is the name of their country." The Mongolian soldier explained.
Ombuhong lay back on the bed and said: "Calling the Qing Dynasty can't change the fact that they were completely wiped out by the Tiger-Character Banner and the two Red Banners. If they really changed their names, they could be the opponents of the Tiger-Character Banner, hum! "
Ombuhong looked disdainful.
In the past, he was not willing to lose power, but later, neither the Chahar tribe nor Daikin were any match for the Tiger Flag, so he gave up completely. He felt that it was good just like this, and he had enough to eat and drink. Don't worry.
"What the Great Khan is saying is that those Jurchens are stupid. They can't defeat the tiger-shaped flag but they still insist on provocation. They lose troops and generals every time, and they don't change again." The Mongolian warriors echoed from the side.
Ombuhong turned over and said: "Okay, you can retreat. I will sleep for a while. If there is nothing else, don't disturb my sleep."
"Young man, please excuse me." The Mongolian soldier bowed and retreated.
When he came outside, he chatted with several other Mongolian soldiers who were a few kilometers away from the princes about the tiger-character banner army loudly attacking the Qing army.
These personal guards of the Khan in the palace are no longer the kind of personal guards that Bu Shitu was when he was in power.
Although these people bear the title of personal guards of the Khan's Palace, they are just ordinary Mongolians invited by Omubu Honghuayinzi, and they usually use them just to show their face.
Anyway, he has no shortage of money. It would be more honorable to put a few personal guards in the Khan's palace.
