Several wounded soldiers were very moved. The officer in front of him was carrying silver stars on his shoulders, and of course he was a big shot in the army.

The wounded soldiers did not recognize this as Zhang Shixiong. The Hutchison Army now has more than a dozen infantry regiments, dragon cavalry regiments and lancer regiments. There are more than 100,000 combat soldiers and baggage soldiers in the army. There are no TV, newspapers and other items these days, so even Zhang Han may not be able to recognize it, not to mention that Zhang Shixiong was only a battalion-level commander before.

"It seems that there is still war ahead." Zhang Shixiong looked at the assistant officers beside him and said with a cold expression: "We have not reached the time to enjoy peace, it is still early. Let's eat everyone on the horse's back. We will rush to Qingcheng immediately."

Everyone agreed, but they were decisive and no one hesitated at all.

The style of each chief officer leading troops can also be seen from the reactions of his subordinates.

At least in the Hunting Cavalry Battalion, Zhang Shixiong has unquestionable power and status. His style of leading troops is of course extremely domineering. This is also determined by his personality. The style of a unit is actually quite related to the style of the chief officer. Zhang Han used Zhang Shixiong as the commander of the Hunting Cavalry Battalion, which is a stroke of genius.

More than one hundred red-robed cavalrymen were flying on the road. This was a very beautiful scenery, which attracted the attention and attention of many people along the way.

When I arrived a few miles outside Qingcheng, there was a security line for the First Regiment. The First Infantry Regiment of Guards, this number was quite eye-catching, and people knew that it was an old group at once... The regiment commander Wang Yikui must be the commander of the division. The newly formed troops were probably called the First Guards Division.

The First Regiment of the Fighting Guards in recent years has not shown much highlights, but its past experience is still very impressive. It was first established, and the establishment can be traced back to the period of escort business, then the regiment training period, and then the period of the Merchant Army. Most of the officers of the First Regiment were experienced and experienced, and most of the soldiers were old soldiers. In the past six months, it has been generally changed to the Dragon Cavalry Regiment. Because the First Regiment had to guard the Qingcheng area, it did not have a major reform. However, the number of horses equipped by the First Regiment was not large, and it could be reorganized into the Dragon Cavalry Regiment at any time, that is, the horse-riding infantry.

Pure cavalry is not that easy to add. When Zhang Shixiong saw the infantry of the first regiment coming with an ugly horse, he couldn't help but sigh.

"It's Commander Zhang." The leader was a squadron leader who recognized Zhang Shixiong.

A while ago, Zhang Shixiong led his men to select additional troops from various departments to hunt cavalry hunters. The first regiment was the first group to be selected, but unfortunately only a few people were selected.

"Commander Zhang is back this time, and it's just in time for fun." The squadron leader looked at the documents of Zhang Shixiong and others, as well as the documents issued by the superior military commander, which marked the official business that he had come and go from a certain place to engage in. After reading it, he would be released. The military law of Hutchison was strict and the generals would never be allowed to do their own things.

"What's the fun?" Zhang Shixiong didn't like to join in the fun the most, and said lightly: "I'm busy with business, I'm afraid I don't have time to join in the fun."

"Oh, it's Zhengshi Li's birthday to be his forty years old." The squadron leader smiled and said, "It's interesting to say that we only have a 40-year-old man. The rest of Sun Zhengshi seems to be in his thirties, and it's still early to be his birthday. Deputy General Manager Chang is only in his twenties, one year younger than us. The rest of Deputy General Manager Mo and Deputy General Manager Li are all in their twenties. Oh, by the way, Deputy General Manager Kong seems to be in his thirties, and I'm afraid there are still a few years before forty."

The squadron leader of the First Regiment also felt a strong sense of pride on his face when he spoke.

The squadron leader himself is only under 20 years old, and is a newcomer who is purely cultivated in the Hutchison system. He has the same path as Zhang Shixiong and Li Gui and others. The difference is that he entered Hutchison's school when he was younger, so he felt more pride and belonging, and he also felt a little close to Zhang Shixiong.

Zhang Shixiong snorted coldly and said, "You forgot both Deputy Political Affairs Officer Wang and Deputy Political Affairs Officer Liang!"

The squadron leader showed an embarrassing look on his face. Indeed, Wang Changfu and Liang Xing's presence are too weak now, which makes people forget that these two senior military leaders do not matter to civilians, but to a soldier is really inappropriate.

"It doesn't matter." Zhang Shixiong said: "They don't like Zhang Yang's personality either."

Liang Xing actually likes to be arrogant, but Wang Changfu put on a cautious and modest attitude. As one of the two big shots, Liang Xing could only follow suit and pretend to be low-key.

Wang Changfu was not good at making a high profile. His faction was too strong. Even if Zhang Han didn't beat him, there would be many "mind people" who would persuade him to give up his real position and not lead troops. He only brought those young officers who entered the military academy in the official school. For Wang Changfu, he could also use his remaining energy to influence a lot of new officers and his status was relatively high. The leader of the military school was Zhang Han himself, and his deputy was of course at the level of the officer. In the summer, Wang Changfu also added a deputy political officer and could attend the meeting when convening a political meeting. He was considered to have officially entered the highest decision-making circle as the military leader.

Of course, there are only Zhang Han, Li Shenming and Sun Jingting in the real highest decision-making circle. It is possible to add Chang Wei, Kong Minxing, Mo Zongtong, Li Dongxue, Wang Changfu and others to wait.

After the inspection circle, there is the south gate of Qingcheng. The difference between this city and ordinary mainland cities is that it has only two gates. The mainland big cities have more than a dozen city gates like the capital, and there are even more city gates in Nanjing. There are at least four gates in ordinary prefectures and counties, and there are only some strategic locations of garrisons and stations, and there may be only two to three city gates.

Qingcheng only has the South Gate and the North Gate. In the past, there were few Mongolians, and only some nobles and lamas lived permanently. Now the people live are about ten times as popular as before. The city gate is quite crowded. Many vegetable farmers who carry burdens to the city had breakfast outside the city and waited to line up to enter the city. Now it is very lively within a few miles outside the city. There are more than a hundred restaurants and breakfast shops, and there are many refreshment stalls. There are also many storytellers who are telling about ancient books in teahouses. After paying for the salary, many vegetable farmers go home, spend a few cents to buy a cup of tea and sit and listen to the book. They wait until the sun shadows slant west before slowly going back home.

People in the Qingcheng system are not too short of money. Outside the city is not the kind of straw sheds, but rows of tiled houses, rented to these shops for use. The military department took the rent. When repairing Qingcheng, they built these buildings outside the city. As expected, they all used them.

Later, some merchants applied to Qingcheng Military Department and approved that they would build it themselves. This one had no rent, but it could still collect taxes.

If you come up, you will attract investment. Not only will the chaotic buildings be unregulated, it will also make the merchants feel that Hutchison is exploiting heavy taxes. Hutchison will do it first, which will indeed attract merchants to build houses and do business by themselves. After all, the crowds are very dense now, there are many residents in the city, and the city is too crowded. The building communities outside the city have indeed played their due role.

Zhang Shixiong and his subordinates were still treated preferentially in the crowded crowd. The soldiers were not just talking about Hutchison. The ordinary merchants' chariots and baggage vehicles were given to the soldiers first, and the camel caravans driving camels and horses and mules were also given to the soldiers first. This was even more so for ordinary pedestrians. A path was soon formed on the crowded avenue, and there were soldiers who were interrogated at the gate of the city. However, Zhang Shixiong and his subordinates had been inspected, so there was no more trouble here. Watching Zhang Shixiong lead his subordinates in one after another.

There is a military camp station on the east side of the city. Zhang Shixiong was ordered to come this time. He didn't know what the military commander had plans, so he could only ask his subordinates to settle the matter first. Fortunately, there was official documents and everything was done according to the procedures.

There were traces of fireworks and firecrackers everywhere on the streets and alleys. Zhang Shixiong frowned. This was not very similar to Li Shenming's birthday party. Although he could hold a banquet and set off some firecrackers and fireworks for the birthday party, there was no need to make the whole city full of it, right?

The sanitation in the city is specifically responsible for the urban management department under the military command. There are two cities that Hutchison really mastered now, one is the trading city and the other is Qingcheng. In the future, if the Nancheng and the North City are built, even if there are two decent cities, there are many military forts, which are also small cities within a radius of three miles. Urban management is also a science. There are rumors that the Internal Affairs Department will be established to deal with various health and security matters in cities and trests. It is more appropriate than the current military governors who are in charge of public security.

Zhang Shixiong stopped a resident of Qingcheng and asked, "You are polite, how are you doing fireworks?"

"Oh, that's good news from Taiwan. Lord Zhang from Qingcheng is very happy and ordered the whole city to celebrate. Although we people don't know where Taiwan is, it is always a big happy event, so people have been setting off firecrackers and burning fireworks one after another. It is always a big happy event, and it is also a good time to be lively."

After hearing this, Zhang Shixiong felt relieved. Of course, the news of Taiwan's victory was informed of the entire army at the first time. The battle solved the Dutch disaster and regained the waters. From Zhang Han and the top leaders of the military department to the people's happiness, it is also appropriate to have a profit of more than one million yuan a year.

With Zhang Shixiong's experience and experience, I can't imagine how tense the naval battles in Taiwan are, and how meaningful it is to win after winning. After controlling the maritime power, it is actually equivalent to half of the Southern China. At least, Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and Zhejiang can be under the influence and control of Hutchison, as long as it takes some time to sort it out.

The importance should be far above defeating the Quetu Khan tribe and capturing 20,000 Mongols. However, if Sun Jingting did not go to Taiwan in person, the information he had contacted as a political official and a military commander may not be fully understood, let alone ordinary cavalry or infantry generals.

Especially the soldiers in Xuanda have never seen what the Yangtze River looks like, let alone understand the sea, let alone know the importance of fighting for sea rights.

Zhang Shixiong frowned and did not speak. A cavalry hunting officer was a little dissatisfied and said loudly: "We chased and died in Mobei, and we stayed up all the time for more than ten days. We often didn't get off the horse for two or three days, and we were eating, drinking, defecating and urinating. We killed so many northern barbarians and disrupted the entire Mobei three tribes. Finally, we took back the mission and confirmed the peace agreement. This was also a great contribution. No people were able to set off fireworks and firecrackers for us."

After the officer finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Shixiong and said calmly: "Commander, I'm such a cowardly temper, you can fight."

"After arriving at the barracks, he took twenty military sticks." Zhang Shixiong glanced at the officer and said nothing more.
