"Did you see it? This is the fort our Tiger Flag is planning to build on the grassland." Wu Qiang pointed to a construction site in front of him.

The construction site is surrounded by busy people.

There are several brick kilns a little further away, where green bricks are fired, and people use large trucks to transport cartloads of green bricks to the construction site and stack them.

In addition to the green bricks on the construction site, there are also many stones transported from far away.

The common people who came here for the first time stretched their necks and looked at everything in front of them curiously.

Li Xin lowered his head and whispered to the person next to him: "It seems that the Beibei are all fools, and they actually let the Tiger Flag build a fort here."

"I heard that a warehouse was built to store goods shipped to the grassland." The man next to him replied.

Li Xin curled his lips and said: "It's a warehouse, but I think it's a fort. Didn't you listen to the man named Wu just now that he wanted to build a fort?"

"Whether it's a fort or a warehouse, don't forget what Fan Dongzhu told you." The man next to him reminded.

"Don't worry, I know." Li Xin nodded.

A team of several hundred people suddenly appeared around the construction site, attracting the attention of many people who were working on the construction site. Many people who were busy on the construction site put down their work and looked curiously at the team brought by Wu Qiang.

Tan Zaiwang rode up to Wu Qiang and said: "Now that we have arrived, Captain Wu, I won't stay. Our cavalry team has other tasks."

"Thank you very much Captain Tan for this journey." Wu Qiang hugged Tan Zaiwang.

Tan Zaiwang smiled and said: "We are all brothers, there is no need to be so polite. Okay, let's say goodbye."

After saying that, he turned the horse's head and rode away.

Leaving with him were dozens of riders he had brought with him.

Watching Tan Zaiwang's cavalry go away, Wu Qiang turned around and said to his deputy: "You lead the team to stay here for the time being. Remember to count the number of people. I will hand in the task."

After saying that, he left the team and went to the camp.

The camp is not very far from the construction site, about a mile or so away. It is a yurt, where soldiers of the 3000th Army and Ming people who came to the grassland live.

Wu Qiang came to the camp and was stopped by the guards outside the camp gate.

"I am Wu Qiang, captain of the first team of the third squadron of the first brigade. I was ordered to go to Datong to bring back the people. This is my identity card." As he said that, he took out a bronze medal from his arms and handed it to the people guarding outside the camp.

Soldiers.

The soldier took the bronze medal, glanced at it, and then looked at Wu Qiang in front of him. After confirming that it was correct, he returned the bronze medal and said at the same time: "Captain Wu, please come in."

"Thank you." Wu Qiang put away the bronze medal and walked into the camp.

He had no grievances about what had just happened when he was stopped outside the camp. These were the rules of the camp, and not only he had to abide by them, but everyone with the tiger-character flag also had to abide by them.

He once saw with his own eyes that Deputy Director Li who came from Qingcheng was stopped outside the camp. After checking the bronze medal proving his identity, he had to notify people inside the camp before he was allowed to enter the camp.

And because he was a soldier of the 3000th Army, he was only checked once for the bronze medal proving his identity before being put into the camp.

After entering the camp, he came outside a yurt.

Unlike yurts elsewhere, there are guards standing guard outside this yurt.

The guard outside the yurt took a look at Wu Qiang's bronze medal and said, "Wait here for a moment, I'll go in and report."

"Thank you." Wu Qiang said.

The guard turned around and entered the yurt. After a short time, he walked out and said to him: "You can go in."

Wu Qiang tidied up his clothes and walked into the yurt.

As soon as he came in and saw the people in the yurt, he was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly said: "My subordinates have met the deputy director and the captain."

While speaking, he raised his right hand halfway across his chest.

He did not expect that the deputy director who lived in Qingcheng was also in the yurt.

Zhang Hong introduced Li Shuheng: "His name is Wu Qiang. He just came back from Datong, and he is a guard of the iron field. The last batch of Liaodong people prepared by the Military and Political Department was brought back from Datong."

Li Shuheng nodded, then looked at Wu Qiang, and said with a smile: "Captain Zhang is very optimistic about you, he even praised you to me just now!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Qiang chuckled and scratched the back of his head with his hands in embarrassment.

Zhang Hong said: "Did you bring back the official letter?"

"Bring it back." Wu Qiang's face straightened, he took out an official letter from his arms and handed it over.

This is an official letter given to him by someone from the Military and Political Department when he received the people of Liaodong in Datong.

Zhang Hong took the official letter, glanced at it, handed it to the staff beside him, and said: "Take this official letter and settle the newly arrived Liaodong people."

"Yes." The staff officer agreed, turned around and retreated from the yurt.

Nowadays, each thousand-man regiment of Tiger Character Banner has a dedicated staff officer and several ordinary staff officers.

The staff officer is from the Attendant Department, while the ordinary staff officer is from the martial arts hall.

"Deputy Director, what do you think of him?" Zhang Hong asked Li Shuheng.

Wu Qiang, who was standing in the yurt, was confused. He only knew that the captain of his thousand-man team was talking about him, but he didn't understand what he meant.

Li Shuheng said with a smile: "Since he is the person you recommended, there must be no problem. I will arrange for him to return to Lingqiu later and stay with the headmaster as an attendant."

Upon hearing this, Wu Qiang's eyes lit up.

Long before, he had heard that the attendants around the headmaster were planning to select a new group of attendants. He did not expect that such a good thing would happen to him.

The first batch of attendants have been assigned to several thousand-man teams. The lowest status is also the deputy captain. If he can join the attendant department and stay with the headmaster for a period of time, and he will come out of the attendant department in the future, the lowest will be

He is a squadron leader.

As a member of the Tiger-Character Banner, he knew very well that people who came out of the Attendance Department could be said to be close ministers of the emperor. No matter which thousand-man team was sent to the Tiger-Character Banner, they would be promoted and reused.

Zhang Hong turned his head and said to Wu Qiang: "The servants around the great master have been sent to various thousand-man teams, so the servants department is short of servants. The Military and Political Department decided to choose from several thousand-man teams. Deputy Director Li and I both

It has been decided that you should go to the Attendance Department and stay with the Master to listen to his teachings, are you willing to go?"

"My subordinate is willing." Wu Qiang blurted out.

Tiger-character flags do not care about connections. If you want to be reused and promoted, you must either make meritorious deeds or join the Attendant Department or the Martial Arts Hall.

The martial arts hall only recruits ordinary soldiers. If a squad leader like him wants to be promoted to squadron leader, he will have a chance unless he has made meritorious deeds. The other option is to join the Attendant Department and stay with the leader to gain experience.

Although becoming a squire will not improve your position, with the experience of being a squire, you will be reused no matter which military unit you join in the future.

Zhang Hong said with a smile: "Okay, you go back first. Someone will notify you when you return to Lingqiu."
