Hanzhong, I'm back!

Seeing the grass from afar, Liu Xian's eyes were really moist. : The feeling in his heart at the moment is really incomparable to the feeling he felt when he lived outside for several years in his previous life and returned to his hometown.

Excited, excited!

Among the more than 3,000 soldiers behind him, the whimpering cries, sobs, excited cries, and ghost howls were clearly audible, and all the emotions were released uncontrollably.

Hanzhong, hometown, the root of the Qin army, we are back!

The gongs and drums in front of the grass cool post are noisy, clothed in red and hung with colors, and the voices of people are boiling.

Li Ying, the prefect of Hanzhong, came to greet him, and the county order of Fengxian County. The welcoming ceremony seems to be comparable to the specifications of the Qin army coming from Xining to the east and passing through Lanzhou, Qinzhou, Fengxiang and other places, but in essence, the enthusiasm of the officials and the people has increased I don't know how many times.

The Qin army, which originated in Hanzhong, is the glory of the Hanzhong people.

Qi Dalin and Zhou Jun rode horses and walked on both sides of Liu Xian, and the two of them led a small team of cavalry to meet Liu Xian when they led the team from Gansu to Fengxiang in Shaanxi.

"How's it going, sir? The enthusiasm of our fellow villagers in Hanzhong is much more blazing than that of Fengxiang's group of melon babies, right? ”

This is the people's recognition of themselves and the Qin army, and the excitement and sadness in Liu Xian's heart were quickly washed away by the people's fire-like enthusiasm.

"The Qin army became famous outside the territory, made achievements in the Tianshan Mountains, and opened the first honor of our dynasty in the 30-year foreign war. Add the prefect of Hanzhong for my brother, and there is honor, and there is honor! ”

Holding Liu Xian's hand, Li Ying's words were not scene words, but really from the bottom of his heart.

The first army to defeat the foreigners, made in Hanzhong. I am the prefect of Hanzhong.

Li Ying is not a person with big pursuits. But everyone wants the glory of leaving a name in history. Liu Xian's success and the prominence of the Qin army brought such an opportunity to Li Ying. Only his support in the experience of Liu Xian's rise. and the timing when he served as the prefect of Hanzhong in the past few years, his name cannot be erased from the history books.

The crackling of firecrackers was deafening. The army started from Caoliangyi and went all the way to the south, hundreds of miles along the way, and the cheering people in the middle of the road were never cut off.

When the army marched to Chenggu, the celebration also reached its peak at this moment.

"Eat well. Drink well. After the holidays, have fun, have fun-"

The grain, pig and sheep savings accumulated by Liu's Manor in the past three years are huge figures. Support the cost of a celebration. It's a piece of cake.

All the military salaries were paid to the soldiers before the army was drawn from Xinjiang. Aguba, Tuo Ming, the indigenous people of Ili, the more ruthless these people looted. The richer Liu Xian seized. Although Beijing has been short of expeditionary troops in terms of military salaries. Even after the expeditionary army opened up the situation, it was never distributed on time and in quantity, but Liu Xian's capture in Xinjiang was enough to make up for all the expenses of the entire expeditionary army, and there was still a large surplus.

After all, the rebellion in Xinjiang has swept the entire north and south of the Tianshan Mountains. Except for the Mongolian tribes, Hami, and Balikun, the changes are not too great, and the rest of the places are turned upside down and unrecognizable.

To look at this from a cold point of view - this is a process of redistribution of social wealth.

Seventy percent of Xinjiang's wealth is in the hands of the rebels. One can imagine how huge the immediate benefits of the expeditionary army after the rebellion were put down.

Liu Xian's horse set foot in Qihe Prefecture, and the boasting that Dong Fuxiang obtained from the attack on Andijan cannot be compared with the local harvest in Xinjiang.

Whether it is the Qin army, the Dong army, or the indigenous. It is also a volunteer battalion, a hussar battalion, military pay and a pension for the disabled and killed. Liu Xian wiped everything dry, and when he returned to Chenggu, he still had a full twenty-five boxes of rare jewels left in his palm.

These rare jewels were sold, and they could easily get one or two million taels of silver. They are not silver or gold, but they are more precious than silver and gold.

Although the current Xinjiang is far from being compared with Xinjiang when the Silk Road was unblocked in the Song and Yuan dynasties, the redistribution of Xinjiang's wealth is still an astronomical amount.

The expeditionary army trove all over Xinjiang, and the wealth looted from the hands of Agubai and other thief chieftains, as well as the hands of the rebel natives, was no less than two or three million taels of gold and silver, plus jewelry and treasures, with a total value of more than 10 million yuan. It can be said that the soldiers of the expeditionary army who went out of Hanzhong, including Dong Jun, as long as they did not die in battle or quit the war with disabilities halfway, everyone now has at least hundreds of taels around their waists. Not to mention officers.

……

Hongluan was turned over, and there was a shallow moan. After more than three years of concern and longing, Zhang Miaotong, who is usually a lady with a full temperament, also let go of her reserve. After calming down, You Zi still hugged Liu Xian's waist tightly.

Liu Xian could feel the slightest coolness in his shoulder socket, and he knew that it was his wife's tears without looking at him. The right arm hugged the slender waist, and the left hand grabbed Zhang Miaotong's small hand, "Don't worry, there will be no such thing in the future." Your lord and I have mixed up all the military exploits and capital. In the future, no one will dare to use your master and me as cannon fodder. ”

"In the future, let's have more children. I will lay a big ...... for our children."

Liu Xian's chin grinded Zhang Miaotong's hair. He really hopes that Zhang Miaotong will give birth to his eldest son, so that there will be no controversy about the position in the future.

After all, times are different. It is impossible to think about the same feudal centralization as the previous dynasties. Liu Xian prefers to complete the corresponding reform of the system in his lifetime, and his sons will make a transition, and then become a symbol of unification and rule in the grandson's generation.

Liu Xian stayed in Chenggu for a month, during which in addition to changing the specifications of the ancestral hall, the mansion was replaced with a plaque, which was to constantly gather the generals of the Qin army and change the structure of the Qin army.

The formation of the Qin army with the brigade as the main body is really not suitable for the current Qin army. Liu Xian already had 13,000 troops in his hands, and the Hanzhong troops clashed, and one was killed or wounded on the front line, and one could be made up immediately later. If it weren't for Liu Xian's limit of 13,000 soldiers, 20,000 soldiers would have been easy.

Therefore, Liu Xian decided to set up a camp above the brigade and a brigade above the battalion. At the regimental level, it is used as a garrison structure.

Specifically, the three brigades plus the auxiliary forces of the battalion headquarters, such as the garrison unit, the baggage corps, the artillery corps, the medical corps, the engineer corps, and so on, constitute a battalion structure with a number of 2,200 to 2,500 people. Because most of the subordinate units of the battalion headquarters are highly technical troops, the Qin army may not be able to equip each battalion for a while and a half, and there will be some gaps. However, if all the formed forces were fully matched, a battalion could reach 2,500 men.

In addition to the three infantry battalions, a cavalry battalion will be added, and the number of brigades will generally reach about 13,000 people. If it is a reinforced brigade, the match is no longer an artillery brigade, but a direct artillery battalion, and the number will skyrocket to between fifteen thousand and sixteen thousand.

The current strength of the Qin army will be reorganized into a brigade plus a garrison regiment in Liu Xianam's plan.

The regiment was structured with at least four brigades as the backbone of the force, plus the strength directly under the regimental headquarters, for a total of between 3,500 and 5,000 men.

Of course, the existing strength of the Qin army was not enough to be integrated into a brigade and a regiment. But expanding the force was a breeze for the Qin army. The achievements of the new battalion in charge of Liu Zhuo in the past three years cannot be underestimated. A large number of trained recruits were scattered among the people of Hanzhong and even southern Shaanxi, and these people went to the new barracks to be trained every year during the slack season, and then they looked forward to when the Qin army could draw themselves when the troops were replenished.

Compared with the hard work of the people, the salary and treatment of the Qin army are definitely first-class in the inland areas of this era.

And such a large-scale reorganization of the whole army also allowed Liu Xian to once again grasp the whole army.

There is a military intelligence department secretly guarding against it, and Liu Xian still knows a lot about the situation of the Qin army left behind. In the three years that Liu Xian left, many middle- and upper-level officers of the Qin army had received wooing from the governor of Shaanxi, but it can be said that none of them had fallen in the past. This is very gratifying to him.

However, no matter how gratifying it is, a basic reality Liu Xian cannot deny. That is, Qi Dalin, Zhou Jun, Liu Zhuo and others all laid deep roots within the Qin army.

After all, more than three years of blank time.

Liu Xianam's current reorganization of the whole army is to mix and reorganize all departments. At the same time, the establishment of a battalion-level structure can also free up a group of people from the position of brigade commander. In this way, Liu Xian can also vigorously promote a group of middle-level officers who made meritorious contributions in the Xinjiang War.

With such a multi-pronged approach, it was still his Qin army, and it was even more his.

For a whole month, a ** Qin army officer brushed through the city like water, which was the personnel arrangement around the reorganization.

Zhang Zhongkui, who made great contributions in the battle of Xinjiang, took the post of chief soldier of Hanzhong Town, Qi Dalin. His position within the Qin army was that of the head of the Hanzhong garrison.

The brigade commander of the newly formed brigade is naturally Liu Xian, but the deputy brigade commander is vacant. The four battalion commanders were Qi Dalin, Zhou Jun, Xiang Fa and Wei Ming. In addition to Wei Ming, who has experienced the battle of Xinjiang, the position of the commander of the cavalry battalion is a matter of course, and the three of Qi Dalin still need to work hard to prove themselves.

Liu Zhuo continues to be responsible for the training of recruits. And Liu Xian was ready to expand the teaching team, so he handed over this work to Liu Zhuo. This position, which seems to have no real power and military power, Liu Zhuo has a lot of taste. Because he knew very well the significance of the recruit camp and the teaching team, being in charge of this part was enough to consolidate his reputation at the grassroots level of the Qin army.

The facts also show that although Liu Zhuo has no military power, his influence in the Qin army is not weaker than that of Qi Dalin and Zhou Jun, and Xiang Fa cannot compare with him.

Just like Fan Debang, the general manager of the Qin army, he has no military power, and he is also a representative figure in the Qin army that cannot be ignored.

Of course, Berdin, who spent three years on the battlefield with the expeditionary army. Stanford, whose position in the Qin army also completely overwhelmed Schubert. Duke. But the West is not bright, the East is bright, Schubert. Duke though without Burding. Stanford has a high status in the army, but in the past three years, he has trained a large number of students in Hanzhong, and these students and himself have not only been diagnosed and treated in the army, but also opened clinics in the Liu manor system and the people in Hanzhong, and have great influence.

Berding. Stamford won in the army, while Schubert. Duke won in the people. In the later history of modern medicine in China, the names of these two men shine brightly. (To be continued......) R527
