***************************************************************************

And in the past month or so, apart from the initial continuous and high-intensity operations, there has not been any decent fighting.

During this period of time, almost all the cities under the jurisdiction of the Qing court were closed and fortified. Because no one knows if the Shenzhou Army will continue to fight and where it will fight when others are incapacitated?

And as long as they want to fight, there is no place along the coast, along the river, and along the river that is safe. Moreover, at this time, the Taihu Lake base has become a problem for the Qing army, you must know that the lake is absolutely impossible, but the people in the lake can come out at any time, which can't help but ask for the lives of the officials in the cities along the lake.

In the battle of Wuxi, under the joint attack of the Shenzhou Army and the Shengwu Army, plus the loss of the mountain fort, the battleships were approaching, and the reinforcements were blocked. Although it was desperately resisted by Gushan Ezhen Tulai, it finally fell after a fierce battle for half a day. The 30,000 defenders were all wiped out, and Turai killed himself.

And the most painful thing for Bolo was that his reserves of food and other supplies were completely exhausted, and this was secondary, mainly because the craftsmen had been completely removed along with the iron furnace. His supplies, especially those for military equipment, were almost completely cut off, and in desperation, he had no choice but to tighten his defense of the city and report it to the imperial court with flying pigeons.

Another evil consequence of this is that almost the entire Jiangnan region missed the rice sowing time due to this "shock and deterrence operation", and of course it was not that it could not catch up, but that it was much later. As for whether it is enough to eat, it is Dolgon's problem, and it is Yue Xiaofei's problem not to let the Qing army eat.

Of course, in this operation, the Shenzhou Army fought much more difficult than before due to the lack of chariot support, with nearly 1,000 casualties, plus the casualties of the Shengwu Army, totaling more than 3,000 people.

What made Yue Xiaofei even more sad was that Lu Fang died in this battle, becoming the highest-ranking general killed in battle except for Zheng Zhaoji since the establishment of the Shenzhou Army. It was not until the people along the river and coast were safely evacuated that this shock and deterrence operation came to an end.

In this battle, the number of enemies destroyed was not very large, about less than 100,000. However, the confusion caused by this operation to the Qing court was obviously difficult to solve in the short term, and at the same time, it also gave the Free State of China a certain amount of time to digest the swallowed population.

Wu Shengzhao finally led the entire army of Shengwu to invest the intelligence of the Shenzhou Free State under the persuasion of Hou Fangyu and Zhang Mingzhen, while Shi Lang led his troops back to Wenzhou to start reorganizing the troops. At the same time, to the delight of the bald heads of the Free State of China, another conscription began.

In fact, the Shenzhou Army will not continue to fight, because now the people of the Shenzhou Free State are not concerned about the problem of labor force during development, but now they should be concerned about the problem of food. Suddenly, there was an extra million people, especially the close proximity to Zhoushan Island and Wenzhou City.

Fortunately, there were plans in place for this situation, including the expansion of the naval base on Zhoushan Island and Wenzhou City, the Mingyue Bay Dock in China, and the construction of various projects that cost a lot of money, which alleviated part of the pressure. And the gold, silver and grain that can be copied from Huang Binqing's lair can be used here.

Despite this, there are still problems of one kind or another.

Transportation, for example, is an issue. In addition to the navy's warships, the rest of the ships, such as the "Mingyue", the "Whale-class amphibious assault ships" and most of the other ships, all participated in the transportation, and even the Dutch fleet surrendered from Vice Admiral Lemo sailed to Wenzhou City, and each battleship was stuffed with as many as 2,000 people at a time. These five warships alone transported nearly 10,000 people at a time, but despite this, the pressure of transportation is still very high.

In addition, food on Zhoushan Island is still getting tight, although it is guaranteed to be fair thanks to the distribution of gendarmes composed of soldiers of the Shenzhou Army. However, the amount of grain accumulated in advance and the grain handed over from the Qing army in Jiangnan was still insufficient. After all, since ancient times in China, when growing grain, you will worry about eating grain.

This made Yue Xiaofei a little worried, is it a good thing to suddenly "introduce" nearly one million people to the Shenzhou Free State?

In the long run, naturally, this is a good thing, and the construction of several cities, as well as the arms and shipbuilding industries to be further expanded, require a large population. However, it will take some time for these people to adapt to life and learn skills, and this period should be the most difficult time for the government.

There was not a great shortage of silver, but now it was again material and food. Although the battle for Fuso was still going on, every time a city was captured, a large amount of food and other supplies in the hands of the daimyo would be shipped to the Shenzhou Free State. North Korea's food and supplies are also being transported here again for the sake of their army's equipment, but it will take time.

And right now, he needs food, because the grain stock of the Shenzhou Free State has reached such a low limit of only five months, although it depends on the mainland, but in this green and yellow time, everyone is short of food! It's a problem, what can be done?

Fortunately, the person who relieved him of his difficulties arrived quickly, and it was someone he hadn't expected.

"Haha, Your Excellency the Protector ...... what can I do, the word "adult" has been sealed in the dust for a long time due to the rapid development of the Shenzhou Free State, so Xu Zhenhuan's title made Yue Xiaofei a little uncomfortable.

Yue Xiaofei, who was still a little sad by the food problem on Zhoushan Island, hurriedly stood up to greet him, and said, "Uncle Xu, you have always been good!" You may be seated! ”

Xu Zhenhuan didn't care about Yue Xiaofei interrupting him, knowing that he didn't like to listen to this kind of official title. So he sat down and responded politely: "It's okay, it's okay!" ”

It's just that he was a little strange Yue Xiaofei's expression, he had always been quite optimistic. What's going on today, how can you still be a bitter face after such a big victory?

"Uncle Xu, didn't you come here to tell me that our Shenzhou Free State has no food!"

"Ah, I see, you kid is worried about this!"

Xu Zhenhuan has always had little affection for Yue Xiaofei, although sometimes he admires him in private. With the strength of his family, he managed to build such a big Shenzhou Free State, but after all, he was quite dissatisfied with his behavior of often not having an emperor.

"Haha, don't worry about this matter, our ocean freight has just returned from the South Seas, and there is not much else to bring back, just some grain and other things. This time the ocean freight is not less profitable, or I am thinking, the third official of our family does not have to be the official, go home and do this together, and earn much more than your officer! ”

Yue Xiaofei was speechless, this has always been the place where he and Xu Zhenhuan carried it, and he, who had always had the upper hand, was deflated this time.
