Beginning in late February, and ending in late March, the Qin army imported a total of 2,500 breech guns, 2 million bullets, 12 75 breech guns, and 10,000 shells of various calibers into the arms trade from Guangxi to Fujian, with a total transaction value of 120,000 taels of silver.

This is a great favor, yes, Zuo Zongtang bought arms from Liu Xian, and he still owes Liu Xian a favor. It's just because in China in the current era, breech guns are really too hot. The Qin army has not completely changed its equipment now, 2,500 rifles and twelve breech guns, which is almost all the rifle production and one month's artillery production of the Qin Army Arsenal, as well as bullets and shells.

It was also in mid-March that Maisheng sent news to Liu Xian that the Japanese Restoration Government had canonized Saigo Congdao as a lieutenant general and appointed him as the governor of Taiwan's Tibetan Affairs Bureau, and a large number of Satsuma feudal troops were gathering in Nagasaki. The American steamship New York was hired to transport troops to Japan. According to the estimation of Maisheng Foreign Company, the Japanese troops were blocked by about 4,000 people, and more than 1,000 people were accompanied by the personnel of the Governor's Office and the accompanying auxiliaries.

After a month of correspondence, Liu Xian clearly knew the current situation of Taiwan Town. It can be said very badly that

There is nothing to defend on the terrace. The local green battalion is cowardly, and team training can help to win, but not to save defeat. Shengfan was willing to help the officials, but there was no trick Lu Yong only had 2,000 people, and he almost had to transfer troops from Fujian to raise the flag for Liao Youfu in Changhua. The combat effectiveness of the local town soldiers can be seen. As for weapons, Taiwan has a huge land without a single breech gun.

This reason is mainly due to Yang Zaiyuan, the former chief soldier of Taiwan Town, who was born in the Chu army. first followed Liu Dian, and then was appreciated by Zuo Zongtang. He has successively served as the central staff of Zhejiang, and has been specially awarded the deputy general of the Fujian and Zhejiang Governors. Acting Fuzhou City, guarding Yanzhou and other places in Zhejiang, co-ordinating the town of Zhangzhou, and leading Taiwan Hangyin Town to control the civil and military forces of Taiwan, and to control the water and land.

is such a guy who is very good in front of Zuo Zongtang, who came to Taiwan for four years [1869-1873], and was constrained by the charm of Emperor Tiangao, indiscriminately appointed camp shortages, and encroached on camp food. If it weren't for Zuo Zongtang's memory of his old merits, Yang Zaiyuan would not have been dismissed from his post last year and belittled Xinjiang, but directly cut off his brain.

Lin Yihua, who succeeded as the commander-in-chief of Taiwan Town, although he had the intention to rectify the army, the time was too short, and he had not been able to correct the atmosphere in the army, and he reluctantly suppressed Liao Youfu's uprising, which was already commendable. And partially. In order not to attract the attention of the Japanese, Zuo Zongtang had to resist the idea of sending more troops to Taiwan. If the Japanese army really attacks Taiwan, Taiwan Town will be rotten and useless, and he will be embarrassed.

Saigo has been appointed governor. It's certain that the little devils will send troops. Liu Xian then held a school parade for recruits in the school field on the outskirts of Liuzhou. This time to send troops to Taiwan and Japan, Liu Xian will not discharge all the new soldiers, and pay attention to the mix of new and old. The Qin army, which uses the old to lead the new, does not have any troops. From top to bottom, all are recruits. These recruits who are now on review will be incorporated into the establishment immediately after the big review. Soon, some of them will be on their way!

It's time to fight the little devil, Liu Xian is very excited.

Military parades are a major event, and almost all military parades in ancient China are related to war. Especially in the Qing Dynasty! Watching the soldiers to intimidate the princes has directly become a ritual of pre-war encouragement or post-war celebration. But a school parade is not the same thing as a military parade. The latter is for everyone to see. The former is just a government official, or just in the eyes of the army.

Uniform, well-trained, morale is high, and the morale of the army is boiling...... and so on about the adjectives of the review, there must be a prefix - the military posture is mighty, which means that the military uniform must be good-looking first.

The same army, wearing a 07-style military uniform and wearing a military uniform when wearing Tubalu, the appearance of the show is definitely different. The same goes for Qin Jun! Although their training is rich in the military training color of later generations and has a strong tradition of the People's Liberation Army, they look so nondescript when they wear the traditional short coats, vests, fat trousers, and cool hats of the Qing army, even if they are tied with belts and leggings.

But Liu Xian could only endure it. There are more and more shaved heads in the Qin army, because Liu Xian has a bald head, and after returning from Vietnam, he will no longer grow his hair, and the people below will follow suit, and at least one-third of the whole army is bald.

More than 5,000 troops participated in the school parade, and all the recruits recruited from Guangxi and Hainan last year made an appearance. With the brigade as a formation, there are seven infantry brigades, one marine brigade, and two artillery brigades. There were no cavalry, because the recruits in the Lingnan land did not know horses too well. In addition, Liu Xian has the base of Hanzhong, and there are thousands of elite cavalry trained in the battle of Xinjiang, and there is no need to recruit cavalry in Guangxi at all. The soldiers here are the most suitable for infantry, or mountain infantry.

The row surface is like a knife cut, the swinging arm is like a streamer, the kicking is like an arrow, and the landing is like thunder.

Looking horizontally, vertically, and diagonally, they are all one line. The lines are straight, showing the beauty of the neatness and uniformity of the queue; The sound of the thunderous foot, the kicking with the wind, and the sonorous steps of landing and smashing the pit reflect the beauty of strength; The absolute standard stride, the absolutely uniform pace, the absolute upright direction, the absolutely accurate rhythm, and the absolute coordination reflect the beauty of unity.

If, if these Qin soldiers in front of them can change into Western-style military uniforms, then their military posture and their might can make the Western powers look at each other differently. But the fact is that the soldiers of the Qin army have a thorn coat and vest, and the ten-layer majesty can be left with five achievements.

Although every soldier in the parade unit has a heroic heart and a surging heart. In the military parade, it is indeed that the military might is shocking, the soldiers are magnificent, the steps are strong, and the courage is one, which makes people dizzy and shocked. But that green skin is really too charming.

Liu Xian knew the effect of this kind of military parade in his heart, and when he went thousands of miles to Xinjiang, he also reviewed his soldiers in Hanzhong. Seriously, it really can't be compared with the PLA military parade in later generations, it is mighty and majestic, far less. It may really be the gap of the times, in the military parade of the People's Liberation Army in later generations, the unity of power and beauty that resonates with the earth, the display of might and solemnity, and the cohesion of discipline and will are completely invisible from the Qin army. Liu Xian didn't think it was a gap in training, the training of the soldiers of the Qin army was very hard, and he felt that it was a backwardness in faith.

The first phalanx, a full 500 officers and soldiers, lined up in a 20*25 infantry square, is looking at a line, obliquely looking at a line, looking horizontally at a line, looking vertically is also a line, the footwork is neat, vigorous and powerful, and the sound of falling steps is loud and neat.

These Guangxi and Hainan people may not be as tall as Hanzhong and northerners, but the devil soldiers of Little Japan were also short, and they were not much taller than guns. Now their rifles were tilted in front of their chests, the muzzles of which were pointing outward, and the shiny bayonets pointed straight ahead, shining in the sun from time to time with a cold light.

As soon as it appeared, the neat line made the audience on the viewing platform sound a shout.

This viewing platform is the original parade platform of the school, not only Liu Xian and other Qin army people, but also Liuzhou prefect Xu Yanxu, political envoy Fuer Guochun, according to the inspection envoy Chongfu, the first two are Liu Xian's old acquaintances, the latter is just transferred from Hunan, for the Mongolian Eight Banners, plus the governor of Qi Shichang, the son of the Manchu Qing Dynasty minister Qi Liaozao, Beijing's grip on Liu Xian, in the case of Liu Xian is not exposed, has reached the highest.

When the soldiers walked to the viewing platform, with a loud slogan, the march in unison instantly turned into a more powerful step, the cloth shoes stepped on the ground, the kicks were carried by the wind, but the landing could not smash the pit, only a neat muffled sound.

Bell and Vietnam's Swwe Quoc Nguyen Phuc were dumbfounded. Such a team is too impactful, too visual.

Ruan Fuying watched the Qin army array below glow with golden light, and once again strengthened his original belief in his heart. In today's world of the jungle, Vietnam is small and the people are weak, and if it wants to survive independently, it must rely on the strength of the Chinese Celestial Empire.

"Praise be to God, this is an elite army that can rival the world's first-rate army." Bel. Fox exclaimed heartily. In my heart, I am satisfied with the wise choice of my own foreign company.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

After seven infantry phalanxes and one marine phalanx passed, two artillery brigades took the stage.

From 57 to 75, and then to 105, a total of 54 cannons and corresponding supporting baggage carriages, the gun carriages were pulled by pack horses, and roared from the front of the viewing platform. The black, metallic barrel shone in the sunlight with a murderous coldness.

Liu Xian's heart is full of self-satisfaction, with such an army in hand, he has reason to be proud, and he also has the capital to be proud.

Military means power, power means power, and power represents hegemony. This is a truth that never fails anytime, anywhere!

After the veterad of the recruits, Liu Xian didn't care about Fuer Guochun and Chongfu, how he would report to Beijing what he saw. Whether it is praise and admiration, or 'slander' as 'threat', he has no time and energy to pay attention to them. Immediately, all the recruits were assigned to various departments of the army, some of them were going to Hongji, some were going to Hainan Island, some were going to Hanzhong, some were going to Qinzhou Port, and some were assigned to the Guangxi departments. And with this 'major adjustment' of the Qin army, Liu Xian also easily gathered four infantry brigades, a marine brigade, an artillery brigade, and the corresponding baggage brigade, nearly 4,000 men and horses converged in Qinzhou Port.

The four ironclad gunboats that the Qin army was able to get their hands on, and the more than ten freighters of the Nanyang Shipping Company, also converged on the port of Qinzhou, and at the same time, there were two coal carriers in the port of Qinzhou that were loaded with the finest Hongji coal but were not in a hurry to unload the coal after arriving at the port. These are all the capital of Liu Xian's participation in the battle of Taiwan, everything is ready, only the east wind is owed!
