Chapter 1626
There are no secrets in the court.
Even if the personnel from the Foreign Intelligence Bureau of the Tiger Banner in the capital do not go to inquire, the fact that Zhao Rujiao was about to go to Datong to suppress the rebellion will spread throughout the capital in less than two days.
However, as the intelligence personnel of the Foreign Intelligence Agency intentionally inquired, as soon as the imperial edict was released from the Forbidden City, the intelligence personnel had already learned the content of the imperial edict immediately.
The court sent an eunuch in the palace to Shanhaiguan, while the king sent a message to Datong to send messages was a Kuaiqi, who specialized in delivering messages.
The eunuch who sent the order had not yet arrived at Shanhaiguan, Wang Zizhe sent the fast cavalry to Datong to deliver the news to Liu Heng of Datong Town.
Upon receiving news from the capital, Liu Heng found Zhao Yutu, who was in the Governor's yamen.
"The capital has sent news that the court appointed Liaodong general Zhao Rujiao as General Datong. It won't take long for this person to come to Datong." Liu Heng said to Zhao Yutu who came to his office room.
In front of him was a map of the Ming Dynasty, which not only marked all the territory of the Ming Dynasty, including the land occupied by slave thieves in Liaodong, but also the grassland tribes, which were all divided one by one on the map.
Of course, the place occupied by the tiger flag is indispensable on the map.
Unlike other forces, in addition to the grassland and Datong, the tiger flag also has the tiger flag mark on the island at the bottom of the map.
If there are any Ming officials who are concerned about the situation in Fujian, they will definitely recognize that the island is the Daguan Island that is unwilling to be from Fujian.
Zhao Yutu frowned slightly and said, "Zhao Rujiao is not comparable to the Taiyuan general Jie Shigong not long ago. This person is a powerful general. Being one of the five generals under Sun Chengzong among so many generals in Liaodong shows that he is very capable."
Liu Heng nodded slightly after hearing this.
Zhao Yutu continued: "Just Zhao Ruo Sect alone is not scary. When he comes to Datong, he will definitely bring some of Guanning's troops. These troops are elite troops trained by Sun Chengzong after he arrived in Liaodong. Although he has never fought, his subordinates think that they must be more powerful than the Datong and Xuanfu troops we encountered before."
"No matter how powerful it is, I will still have to fight." Liu Heng smiled.
Guanning Iron Cavalry can be regarded as famous in later generations. It is not weaker than the slave thieves in Liaodong, and has suppressed countless rebellions in the pass.
Zhao Yutu said: "It is necessary to fight, but we still need to prepare in advance. If we fail, we must be able to return to the grassland. After all, the grassland is the foundation of our tiger flag."
He was a little worried about the official army from Liaodong.
Liu Heng laughed at this and said, "Don't worry, no matter how powerful the official army brought by Zhao Shujiao is, our Tiger Banner is not weak. If even a Guanning army in Liaodong cannot be defeated, we surrender as soon as possible."
The army of tiger flags that consumed more than half of the money and food to raise was believed to be no weaker than the Guanning Iron Cavalry rumored in later generations. After all, both in terms of equipment and morale, they were stronger than the Liaodong official army.
Since its establishment, the army of Tiger Flag has never been defeated. Instead, the soldiers and horses of Liaodong have failed one after another. Even if the Guanning Iron Cavalry is an elite, they are not as enthusiastic as the army of Tiger Flag.
Another point is that the Guanning Iron Cavalry has not yet won the victory in suppressing the rebellion within the Pass, and there is no psychological advantage in facing the internal strife of the Guan Ning bandits.
What's more, the army with the tiger flag is a regular army, rather than a group of uneasy people gathered together.
Zhao Yutuchen said, "I don't know much about martial arts. Since the boss thinks that our tiger-shaped flag has a great chance of winning, I think it's true."
He has always done some literary affairs. Now the tiger flag occupies Datong. His main task is to govern the local area, and the military affairs are directly decided by the Military Affairs Department.
"Guanning's troops are the last elite of the Ming Dynasty. As long as we defeat the Guanning troops brought by Zhao Rujiao, there will be no more soldiers and horses in the entire Ming Dynasty. In the future, the only slave thieves in Liaodong will be left." Liu Heng said.
Zhao Yutu said: "If we say that, we must defeat this Liaodong official army. Once we lose to this official army, it will hurt the morale of our tiger flag army. In the future, when facing this Liaodong army, we may become ruthless."
"The following military divisions will do the battle with the government army. The most urgent task is that you must prepare enough food and grass in advance. I don't want the army to fail due to food and grass issues when fighting." Liu Heng said to Zhao Yutu.
The reason why Zhao Yutu was found was to prepare for the army's next battle.
Zhao Yutu nodded vigorously and said, "Don't worry, the boss, you will never delay the food and grass needed by the army."
"Okay, needless to say, if you object to the distribution of land, you can write a letter, but I won't interfere. If there is nothing to do, go back. The tiger flag has just occupied Datong, and there must be a lot of official duties in the yamen to deal with." Yang Yuan issued an order to expel the guest and was unwilling to argue with Su Naichen on the distribution of land.
Even if Su Naichen had not been his own person with the tiger flag, he would have sent his subordinates to secretly get rid of the other party.
"Director Yang, as a senior executive of the Tiger Banner, you should stand up and correct the boss's mistakes, rather than letting the boss do whatever he wants. Even the Zhu family emperor in the capital must have restrictions and should not do whatever he wants." Su Naichen was not willing to give up.
Dividing fields is the first decision made by the Tiger Banner in the governance of Datong. As a county magistrate of Yanghewei, it is difficult to stop such a decision. If a person with a significant figure like Yang Yuan stands up, he believes that a wrong decision like Dividing fields may not be overturned.
Bang!
Yang Yuan slapped his palm on the table.
When his voice was cold, he said, "Su Naichen, are you blaming the boss? Or do you think the boss should appoint you as the chief minister of the Tiger Banner and form a cabinet for you to manage everything about the Tiger Banner?"
"The Xiaguan naturally does not have the qualifications to become the chief assistant of the Tiger Banner. However, the Xiaguan thinks that the Tiger Banner should indeed have more civil officials and form institutions like the cabinet, rather than being issued in the name of the Military and Political Department at any time." Su Naichen looked at Yang Yuan and said.
I said this and did think so in my heart.
If it were ordinary rebel forces, he would naturally not say this, but the tiger flag was different. Even if there was no Datong, there was a Tumote tribe grassland governed by the tiger flag.
Now that the Tiger Flag has successfully captured Datong Town, it has broken several imperial troops in a row, and its power is in full swing. At this time, he felt that civil servants under the rule of the Tiger Flag like him should make their own claims, otherwise all the popularity will be occupied by military generals of the Tiger Flag, and civil servants like them will not have the chance to emerge in the future.
"Okay, you go back!" Yang Yuan drove people again, not willing to talk nonsense with Su Naichen anymore.
