Compared with the hardships of building the navy, Han Xian, as the deputy commander and actual manager of the Taiwan Army, was much more relaxed.

However, since Qin Hao came back, his workload has doubled.

First, he accompanied him to watch a military parade in Hsinchu County. As one of the first territories developed by Qin Hao, Hsinchu has developed the fastest and is no longer what it used to be.

Three coal mines were discovered in succession within the district, and water conservancy resources are also abundant. Hundreds of waterwheels have been erected, all of which are used in industrial equipment along both sides of the river. Therefore, it naturally integrates with several other villages on its own. In addition, the recent After several groups of immigrants, the population has exceeded 30,000. At Zhuge Xuan's suggestion, Qin Hao officially changed the name of Hsinchu Village to Hsinchu County.

The troop review area is on the cement road from Hsinchu to Keelung Port.

In the past, on the cement road where three carriages could run parallel, the troops were assembled in teams and columns, with the troops uniformly facing the south. At the same time, the common people and guests were allowed to watch. In order to allow the guests to watch more clearly, Qin Hao also set up a special viewing platform.

On the far right is the military flag of Chen Hu's camp, which is red. On the far left is Li Yi's camp, green. Han Xian's banner with the Chinese character Qin, with gold rims and gold thread, yellow flames and red background with white moonlight, was flying on the inspection campus at the moment. As the army officer Qin Hao valued most, his treatment was naturally different.

The color of the military flag is red as the background color. According to Zhuge Xuan, based on the five elements, it represents being in the south, obeying the virtue of fire, and advocating red. Secondly, it is the red flag of the Han family, so that people will not forget the descendants of the Han family.

The banner that Qin Hao had previously put up was that of the Han family, so naturally he had to use such a banner. As for whether to push it directly to the Ming Dynasty to establish a new dynasty in the future, or wait until the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs and chased the Emperor Yongli of the Southern Ming Dynasty all over the map before taking action. Qin Hao has not yet thought clearly about helping each other and saving the Miao descendants of the Han family.

He looks like he's only eighteen years old now, so it's still early, so there's no need to give him too much of a headache.

As Qin Hao's personal soldiers and the first army led by army chief Han Xian, the Shuntian Dead Soldiers Battalion had reason and qualifications to stand at the forefront and accept his review.

There are three battalions in Shuntian Camp, totaling more than 3,000 people. They are all the main force. There are no idle troops. As an important force under Qin Hao, its establishment is based on the most powerful soldiers in the entire army. become. The troops standing upright were like fierce tigers, and their deep eyes looked like they were fighting out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, making the surrounding people shudder.

Ten meters to the left of Shuntian Camp is the banner of Qi Family Camp. Qi Family Camp is now divided into front, rear, left and right center, vanguard, assault, and artillery teams, with a total of three battalions, with 3,000 people.

At the front of their column were four six-pound guns and eight Franco machine guns, which were the artillery pieces of the artillery team in the camp. In addition, there were six-pound guns, eight-pound guns, and twelve-pound guns in front. This represents short-range, medium-range, long-range and ultra-long-range fire coverage strikes.

The newly forged carbon steel cannon was polished by the gunners like a bronze mirror.

The gunners holding ramrods and wool brushes stood upright behind the artillery with their chests puffed out. Dozens of drivers were very aggrieved and were in the last row of the battalion column, comforting the ponies responsible for pulling artillery and ammunition carts.

The Qi Family Army formed by Qi Jiguang was the first organized firearms unit in ancient times, equipped with matchlock guns and squatting tiger cannons. As the chief officer of the Qi Army, Chen Hu naturally has a special liking for cannons.

Qin Hao also believed that cannon was the god of war and delivered all the cannons to Chen Hu. Therefore, Qijiaying's army had an unprecedented number of artillery pieces. The artillery was arranged all the way to Keelung Port.

Looking from the artillery battalion to the left, there are the flags of the seven brigades of the Qi family barracks, including the front, rear, left, right, center, vanguard, and assault brigades. The flags of each battalion are also a fire, and the Qi family army is roaring in the clouds like a red bird. .

The last one to be inspected was Li Yi's cyan troops. There were no swords forged from fine steel, and there were no cannons that resounded in the sky. It felt like a stepmother, but the troops still had a heroic and competitive temperament, which made Qin Hao admired it and had plans for his next step.

Now Shuntian Camp, Qijia Camp and Li Yi's troops total 7,000 people, which is double the number of the new army formed before. The expenditure is really a bit large, and it is necessary to carry out some internal digestion and reform the troops.

When the reviewing carriage was about to enter within ten steps to the right of the camp flag, a loud swan sound sounded in the queue, and everyone held a gun salute.

The battalion officers below Han Xian, Chen Hu, and Li Yi all wore helmets and crowns. Outside the breastplates were brand-new silk brocade robes, and the four black feathers on their heads were also taken care of with extra vigor.

The officers of each team below the battalion officer were dressed almost the same as the battalion officers, but they lacked the uniforms. The soldiers held their own weapons and stared intently at Qin Hao's slowly approaching car. Review the car.

Suddenly, a forest of guns appeared above the sea of ​​people!

The long spear tip shines with the sun's rays!

Qin Hao waved to the soldiers from each battalion in the car and returned the salute. The crowd uttered a voice, "Who distributed the land to us?!" Thousands of people replied loudly: "It's the general!"

"Who gave us generous military pay?!"

"It's the general!"

"Whose food do we eat?!"

"Eat the general's food!"

"Whose gun are we carrying?!"

"Carry the general's gun!"

"Whose orders do we follow?!"

"We only listen to the general!"

Qin Hao is still very satisfied with the training quality of the new army. Its morale and combat power are available.

At the same time, in order to face the increasing number of immigrants from the Ming Dynasty (Qin Hao planned to transport a group of refugees back to replenish the population every time he transported salt), Qin Hao ordered the formation of a militia guard, that is, a police force, to separate the military and police. One is used for combat, and the other is used for management and patrolling.

First, reduce the number of troops. The ratio between the army and the people is too disparate. It was originally intended to reduce conflicts. Now that the territory is booming, not many people are willing to cause trouble. It is time to reduce part of the military use and increase civilian use;

Secondly, the combined population of Zhulin County and Keelung County now exceeds 50,000. Coupled with the continuous influx of people, it is also troublesome to not have government officials who specialize in managing things. Reforming Li Yi's troops is definitely the best choice.

The above sentence will break your legs if you run away.

In order to fulfill Qin Hao's orders, Han Xian went to bed later than a dog and woke up earlier than a chicken these days. After being brilliant in the past, he would naturally have to endure hardships in the future.

The first thing is to divide Li Yi's 1,000-man troops into police forces.

The training in the past few months has made him admire Li Yi with admiration. He is a talent that can be made. If it weren't for Qin Hao's order, he would be really reluctant and wouldn't know how to divide Li Yi's troops.

After all, one is the front line and the other is the back line. Who doesn't want to go to the front to perform meritorious service? After Han Xian promised that he would transfer Li Yi to work in his camp after the reform of the police force was completed, Li Yi reluctantly agreed.

As for the second thing, it is to find suitable weapons for Shuntian Camp. With the number of artillery and matchlock guns in Chen Hu's Qijiaying camp, it would be really difficult for him to use cold weapons such as spears and swords.

Although Han Xian was born as a dead soldier of Shuntian, his brain was not dead. He knew that the future would be a world of guns and artillery. Cold weapons could only be used as auxiliary, and it would be pedantic to use them as the main force. Naturally, he thought of ways to make his Shuntian Tianying transformation.

Recently, he heard that Li Chun had already made accessories for flintlock guns, so he planned to take a look and see if he could find a batch of firearms.
