In Qingcheng City, four or five Taijis from the Tumote tribe gathered in a house.
When the Tiger Character Banner conquered the Tumote tribe, some Taiji were eliminated, but some Taiji chose to surrender to the Tiger Character Banner, gave up their tribes and came to live in Qingcheng.
Among the several Taijis, Harbara is mainly from the Ulut tribe, and other Taijis are from some small tribes.
"Halbala, is what you said reliable? Listen to the outside world. The Qing army you mentioned was defeated by Marshal Zhang of Tiger Character Banner."
The speaker was Taiji from a small tribe.
Although he was also from the Tumut tribe, he was incomparable to Harbala who was from the Ulut tribe.
Of course, this was before.
Nowadays, no matter which tribe under the Tumut tribe a Taiji comes from, their status is no longer as different as before, because no matter which Taiji they are, they only have the title of Taiji and no more soldiers in their hands. .
In the past, such a small tribal Taiji would naturally not dare to speak like this to a Taiji who was born in the Ulut tribe. Now everyone is the same, they are all Taiji without soldiers and generals, and they are not as talkative as before. Lots of worries.
"The Qing Dynasty just lost one battle. It can't hurt the muscles or move the bones. Don't forget that the foundation of the Qing Dynasty is in Liaodong. The victory or defeat of a war cannot determine the final outcome." Harbala looked at his seat. I scanned the several Taijis on the bed one by one.
Anzabu, who was sitting in his seat, said: "This is not the first time that the Qing Dynasty was defeated by the Tiger Flag. Not to mention other places, even on the grassland, the Qing army, no, the former Jin army was not defeated. Pass."
"Yeah, I always say how powerful the Qing army is, and they just bully the Ming army. They have been defeated by Hu Ziqi more than once. I think we should cut off contact with the Qing people. They can't count on them. "The one who spoke was Taiji from that small tribe.
When the Qing Dynasty was still the Jin Dynasty, most of the attacks on important towns guarded by the Ming army relied on traitors in the city to break the city.
This time the Qing army invaded Qingcheng, and the same tactics were used in Qingcheng to win over some Taiji who were not living a satisfactory life in Qingcheng.
Several Taijis present had been attracted by spies sent by the Qing Dynasty, and they were all dissatisfied with their current lives.
In the past, they were all high-ranking Taijis, but now they are just rich men. Once they lose their power, they will never be willing to accept it.
In the past, because they were afraid of being liquidated by the Tiger Flag, they had always been cautious and did not dare to express their greed for power. A few years later, the threat posed by the Tiger Flag army has long been a thing of the past, and they began to think about the past again. It's a great day to be a tribal leader.
Money and power are the days when people are superior to others.
Halbala looked at the little Taiji who was speaking, and said, "You have all boarded the Qing Dynasty ship. Do you think you can get off the ship at will? You are not afraid that the matter will be revealed, and the Tiger Flag will deal with you. "
As soon as the words fell, those who originally wanted to express support for that little Taiji were all speechless.
"Then what do you think we should do? The Qing army is useless on its own. We have no troops but no power. If we want to retake Qingcheng, it is impossible to drive the people of the Tiger Flag out of the grassland." That Xiaotai said. Ji looked directly at Harbala.
Their only trump card for turning around is to use the power of the Qing army. Now that the Qing army has been defeated, they can no longer see the chance to restore the tribal leader.
Halbala said: "The defeat of the Qing army does not mean the death of the Qing Dynasty. As long as we wait patiently, I believe there will always be a chance. Besides, everyone has been waiting for so many years. Do you still care about waiting a few more years?"
"That's what I say, but the Qing Dynasty has not been able to get an advantage from the Tiger Flag several times. Will it be possible in the future?" The little Taiji was not very optimistic about the Qing Dynasty.
Among the few people present, not only him, but also others were not very optimistic about the war between the Qing Dynasty and the Tiger Flag.
Halbala looked at the other people in the room and said: "If the Qing Dynasty can drive the Tiger Flag back to the Great Wall, it will be a good thing for us. Even if the Qing Dynasty is not the opponent of the Tiger Flag, then what? No matter what, it won’t affect us people at all. At worst, we will continue to be rich in Qingcheng from now on."
His words immediately resonated with the others.
For them, no matter how bad the situation is, they can just continue to live the same life as they do now.
Halbala waited for a while, but when no one spoke, knowing that these people had been persuaded by him, he turned to Zhamuhe and said, "How is Ombuhong doing now?"
"It's still the same as before, without any heroic spirit of Xianhan, and he is willing to be locked in a cage with the tiger-shaped flag and raised like a pig." Anzabu said with a look of hatred.
He used to be the leader of Bu Shitu's bodyguard. After Bu Shitu died, he followed Omubuhong for a while. Later, he found that Omubuhong could not hold up the wall, so he stopped following Omubuhong.
Harbala said: "The relationship with Ombuhong cannot be severed. He is the nominal Great Khan of the Tumut tribe. Even if he does not care about anything, as long as he still bears the title of Great Khan, he will We are useful.”
"I understand. I will take time to visit him in the Khan's Palace in the next two days." Anzabu responded.
Halbala nodded, turned to look at the other people present, and said: "I know everyone is disappointed that the Qing army failed to capture Qingcheng, but the only one we can rely on now is the Qing Dynasty, and only the Qing Dynasty sent troops to help us deal with it. Only with the tiger-character flag can we have a chance to restore the former glory of the Tumote Department. Therefore, after you go back, you must strictly keep secrets. When you secretly interact with the Qing Dynasty, you must not leak it, even to your own family members. Remember Are you staying?"
"Halbala, don't worry. No one dares to say such a thing. If it is leaked, the people of the Tiger Flag will not spare us." As he said this, Anzabu looked at the others. In a circle.
The threat implicit in the words was heard by everyone present.
But the fact is just like what he said, once their secret dealings with the Qing Dynasty are leaked, it is impossible for the Tiger Flag to let them go.
News of the Third War Zone's great victory over the Qing army on the grasslands was sent to the capital.
Jingcheng is another name for the capital, and its original name should have been Peking.
After the Tiger Character Banner captured Peiping, it still retained its original name, and the people became accustomed to calling Peiping the capital.
Zhang Hong sent two pieces of good news from the grassland to the capital.
The first good news was that after he received the news that the cavalry division defeated the Qing army, he personally wrote a good news and arranged for people to be sent to the capital. The second good news was that the cavalry division returned to Guanshan Guard and sent people again with the good news and Jierhalang's head was sent to the capital.
Now Beijing has received the first good news from the third theater.
