In this series of things, the most complicated is the retribution.

After completing the work of determining the merits within the First Mixed Brigade, it is still necessary to report the merits to the military department and the cabinet, which is another troublesome matter.

And the most troublesome thing is that because some of the military towns in the Huaxia and Ming armies still have the transaction of Houjin heads, they do not have to calculate the corresponding head merits of the soldiers below and correspond to different meritorious personnel.

This work is much more troublesome than the verification of military merits, after all, each Tartar head is worth as little as 30 taels of silver, and as much as more than 200 taels of silver, the difference is extremely large.

The bulk of the proceeds from these sold Tartar heads will go to the Ministry of Finance, but some of them will be distributed to the soldiers who have won the battle as a battle allowance.

This time in the Battle of Fuzhou, the losses of cavalry and cavalry infantry were relatively large, and next, their first mixed brigade would be in the area near Jinzhou City, facing the retaliation that the Houjin Tartars were likely to come.

Zachdan made up his mind, immediately made a report, temporarily changed the method of seizure and distribution formulated by the Ministry of War, and directly digested the captured war horses on the spot.

The cavalry infantry battalion was replenished with troops directly from the remaining infantry battalions. Then, from the domestic supplementary barracks, personnel were transferred to supplement the infantry battalion, but the quality of the personnel required by the cavalry battalion was too high, so the replenishment could only be drawn from the domestic cavalry training camp.

Also, the second mixed brigade should have been formed, right?

According to the plan drawn up at the last domestic combat meeting, the infantry battalion that participated in the operation of clearing and attacking the city wall of Fuzhou this time was to be transferred back to China for replenishment, and then an infantry battalion was drawn from the 2nd Mixed Brigade to come to the battle in rotation.

After the transfer, the infantry battalions sent to the southern Liaoning region were all under the jurisdiction of him Zachdan. After a certain amount of actual combat training, they were transferred back to the original unit, and another unit was rotated back to fight in rotation.

Zakdan stayed in the southern city of Lushun for more than 10 days, and the 1st Mixed Brigade had already completed all the operational summing-ups, and he organized several tactical improvement exercises.

After the military merit was approved, the report reached the military department, and not long after that, Chen Xin came. He came specially to personally confer medals on meritorious service in various ministries.

This time, the amount of combat rewards was also calculated by the Ministry of Finance, notified to each soldier, and then deposited by the logistics department into everyone's bank account.

This sum of money, when the soldiers return to China, can go to collect it immediately, simple and safe.

After the political commissars and company instructors of each battalion organized several commendation meetings, the overall morale of the army soon became high again.

After these things were done, Chen Xin once again inspected the southern Liaoning region after a half-year absence, and there was still a desolate scene along the way, with only a few local military households and occasional new immigrants, hoeing on the plains south of Lushun South City, clearing all kinds of weeds and shrubs, and preparing to sow alfalfa grass.

Alfalfa is still known as the king of forage in Chen Xin's later generations, and he remembers it very well.

Soon after his crossing, he set up an agriculture-related department to study the cultivation of various crops.

A group of people from the agricultural department, according to Chen Xin's order, after experimenting in southern Liaoning, also happily suggested that Chen Xin sow alfalfa here. In addition, a more cold-tolerant species has been specially selected.

Alfalfa grass is a forage grass rich in crude protein, carbohydrates and vitamins, and is multi-purpose, allowing both horses and humans to eat. In addition, alfalfa is also very adaptable to the land, and can also improve the soil quality of the place where it is planted.

However, alfalfa also has troubles, they are easily damaged by weeds at the seedling stage, so the land needs to be turned over several times before planting.

After sowing seeds on the turned land for two months, winter is coming soon, and the weeds and seedlings will be naturally frozen to death.

Alfalfa seeds are more adaptable, and they can grab nutrients in advance after they emerge earlier than weeds in the next spring, and the root system of alfalfa grass, after they grow up, can effectively suppress weeds in nearby areas.

By next year, the alfalfa grass near the southern city of Lushun will be ready for the first round of harvesting.

After two years, the alfalfa grass can be harvested several times a year, and the cavalry units will have plenty of horses. Moreover, the root system of alfalfa grass can also be used to fertilize the soil, and after the arrival of new immigrants and the conversion to food, the step of fertilizing the field can be saved.

Along the way, Chen Xin also saw several beacon towers on the top of the mountain, and as long as qualified soldiers were stationed in those defense facilities, these piers could immediately play a huge role.

In the outer area of Jinzhou City, there are also a number of dungeon forts and lookouts, and more than 100 people are stationed in peacetime, which can not only serve as a supply point for scouts, but also play an early warning role.

When Chen Xin arrived in the Lushun area, it naturally aroused the warm welcome of the local tun households, and this time the first mixed brigade cut down more than 1,000 real Tartar heads, which really made the morale of the people in the entire southern Liaoning region extremely high.

The people and horses in Liaodong who belong to Dongjiang Town have also gained some gains, compared with the half-dead state in the previous two years, there have been vastly different changes.

Ordinary people don't know what the First Mixed Brigade is, let alone who Zachdan is who commands this operation, but the name of Chen Xin, the monarch of the Huaxia Kingdom, is known to anyone.

Naturally, it will elicit a warm welcome.

When I arrived at Zachdan's headquarters in the city, the person in charge here was still in contact with Dongjiang Town, and he couldn't come back, so he still stayed here and ran over to meet him. He was accompanied by a head of the Navy stationed in Port Arthur.

The director of the Military Management Commission reported to Chen Xin: "Your Majesty, Vice General Mao from Guanglu Island and Vice General Hu from another island are here together.

They said that they were going to pay tribute to General Mao, and when they heard that the king was coming, they immediately changed their itinerary and came to meet the king, and they had been waiting here for several days.

The navy did not allow them to enter the port, so they had to go to the nearby islands first. ”

From his words, it seems that there is some opinion about the head of the navy.

"Oh? Their speed is actually so fast," Chen Xin said with a slight surprise.

You have to know these two people, but they just finished a sabotage battle, and I heard that there are still some gains, so they solved everything so quickly and came to Lushun?
