Chapter 23: Reward

ps: The number jù is too shivering, everyone is in emergency! Favorites recommended, thank you very much!

Fluttering white snow covers the earth and mountains, and outside the willow forest town that was still a mess a few days ago, it is now pure white like a virgin in the boudoir. All traces were hidden under the snowflakes, except for the sudden increase in the stretch of grave at the west entrance of the town.

"One-two-one, one-two-one......"

A school yard was re-fenced outside the town, much larger than the previous boot barracks. It's just that compared with the original blue brick fence, the current school yard only has a simple one-story half-person high fence.

In the snowflakes falling weather, the training of the military camp is still ongoing. The troops fought a big battle and suffered casualties, but they could see more experience and spirit.

The team also ceased to train as a squad, but became a squadron of more than 100 people.

The wielding of knives and spears continued, and the training of archers and shotgunners was tighter. Especially for shotspearmen, twenty rounds in a quarter of an hour is the baseline for their pass.

Note that the shotguns of the Qing army were not flintlock guns, but arquebuses. Even if Liu Xian reduced his gunpowder gourd to a 'paper bullet', the speed was far less than that of a flintlock pistol. Of course, according to Liu Xian's current strength, it is completely possible to make flintlock pistols regardless of the cost, but his status and the funds and materials in his hands have obviously not reached the point where they can be squandered at will.

The arquebus could only be fired first.

The field of grenadiers has more than tripled, and the strength of the first brigade, the second brigade, the battalion headquarters, and the three grenadier squads have increased from about 20 men to full strength. The total number of people has been expanded by half!

And the practice of the soldier queue is even more diligent.

No one in the whole army stubbornly thinks that marching in line is a fancy effort. In this battle between the team and Lan Chaozhu, the shotgun squadron of one brigade and two large groups lined up was eye-popping.

Imagine that if everyone in the team had in their hands a Mine rifle that shot farther and more accurately than a shotgun and was many times faster than a shotgun, then it would be okay for a thousand people to line up and hit the entire bandits.

The swordsman is not the court of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and no one's brain is stubborn here. Combat effectiveness comes first!

"All of them, backwards—turn!"

"All of them, turn left!"

"Walking in unison......"

……

……

The deafening sound of the drill clearly reached the ears of the people of Liulin Town, but the people of Liulin Town did not feel noisy at all, but listened to this strong and powerful shout to make them feel at ease.

Liu Xian wears a leather jacket on the top and cotton pants on the bottom, leather boots on his feet, and a felt hat on his head. Standing on the top of the sentry post at the east entrance of the town, his clothes were wrapped in a thick layer, and the whole person looked very bloated.

"Damn, why haven't people come yet?"

The wind blew on his face like a knife, and after a while, Liu Xian's face froze.

Fan Debang stood on tiptoe and looked eastward, there was no snow. The cold wind slipped into his neck, and after only a moment, he couldn't stand the cold.

"I said before that in the past two days, I didn't come yesterday, but I still arrived today." Stomping his feet, Vanderbang said as he shrunk his shoulders like a chick.

This is a major matter related to the future of the official, and it is a matter of importance, so you can't fool people.

But it was really too cold on the top of the sentry, and there was no one waiting for the left and right, Liu Xian couldn't stand it, and his body bones couldn't be compared with him at all. "Let's go, go back and warm up and have a hot cup of tea." The two were about to get off the sentry post, and Fan Debang looked east for the last time in annoyance, and his body froze suddenly.

Liu Xian saw that his heart moved, turned his head to look east, and the next moment his body didn't move. A few small black dots gradually appeared in the snow. A miracle happened!

The two of them glanced at each other, and their hearts were filled with surprise: "The reward from above has come down like this?" ”

The two climbed down the sentry post and went below, and soon heard Fan Debiao's familiar voice, and a loud voice sounded: "Fifth brother, eldest brother, the county official Zhang is here." ”

Liu Xian was squinted by the wind and snow, but he could still see clearly who was coming. A group of four horsemen, the first two except Fan Debiao are not the county officials, the battalion commander of the two thousand volunteer battalions, Zhang Shoushan.

There were still two or three zhang away from Liu Xian, and the four of them restrained the war horse. Zhang Shoushan jumped off the horse, he held his head high, wore a fur hat, a leather coat, and a waist knife hanging from his waist. Two catchers led the horses behind.

Liu Xian strode up, "There are laborers, hard work, hard work." ”

Zhang Shoushan didn't dare to be a little arrogant in the face of Liu Xian, his status with the other party today is already very different, and there will be a world of difference in the future. "Lord Liu, Mr. Liu Qian, Shoushan has congratulated you. The military merits that the county lord invited you from above, the reward has been issued, you are the general title of six pins, and there are two seven-rank generals and eight blanks. My city Gu County, a few decades ago, there were two Hu Jinyang Kezhi, for the people to praise endlessly, today the jumping tiger is even more blue and better than the blue.

Zhang has offended a lot in the past, but Lord Liu is very good. ”

Zhang Shoushan did not have a grudge with Liu Xian or even the swordsmen in the past, and the words behind him were slick and joking, and it was more obvious that they were compliments.

"Hahaha...... Liu Xian laughed in response to the scene, "Brother Zhang said and laughed, said and laughed." ”

He led Zhang Shoushan and the others to his camp, and asked about the situation in the county seat along the way. It was learned from Zhang Shoushan Pass that on the first day of heavy snowfall, the rebels outside the city withdrew eastward to Yangxian.

Although the county seat was besieged for many days, the surrounding townships did not suffer any harm, but it was obvious that a group of poor people and desperate homeless people joined the gang.

When Cao Canzhang retreated to Yangxian, the team had increased from a few thousand to 10,000.

Zhang Shoushan came to Liulin this time, mainly to make a front stop and let Liu Xian rest assured. When the snow stops, not only Li Ying in the county seat, but also Zhang Shoudai, the sub-patrol station in Fucheng, will have to go in person.

This time, Chenggu County has made a big show under the situation of thousands of horses in Hanzhong, and Liu Xian has produced a thousand generals here, and the county has also become the same knowledge of Hanzhong.

Compared with the previous general judgment on the final death of Feng Xiang who led the troops to reinforce Feng Xiang, Tongzhi Yao Jingchen abandoned the army and fled when he was fighting against Li Lanjun, and was directly taken away from the top and put in prison.

is also so fortunate to vacate an official position for Li Ying, and the current Li Ying is proud of the spring breeze. A newcomer who has just entered the officialdom for two years has already sat in the five-rank official position.

The most direct impact on Hanzhong Mansion is that Li Ying and Zhang Shoudai are connected. As a sub-patrol of southern Shaanxi, when Zhang Shoudai directly combined with county-level forces, his status in Hanzhong officialdom suddenly increased in a straight line. When he faced Mao Zhenshou, the political envoy, he had the confidence and capital to resist. Of course, its potential is still much smaller than Mao Zhenshou.

"Congratulations to the fifth brother for being promoted to a thousand generals." Fan Debang's lips trembled with excitement.

Six-pinned top, six-pin!

I'm really blind on this road, and I hit a dead mouse, and I'm on the right track. Doing things with such a leading brother, why worry that there will be no future in the future, and you won't be able to soar.
