On the bank of the canal, the preparations for the Qingzhou class are still continuing in an orderly manner.

The artillery regiment accompanying the army is moving some small cannons or light cannons to the vehicles and ships to fix them one by one.

This is also an accidental result after this battle, so that it can provide some nearshore when accompanying the army

fire support.

Although it is located in the yellow flood area of the plain, the relatively dense and extended canal branch has become a kind of natural defense line

, as long as it is paired with enough boat maneuvers.

Today's battle line is temporarily maintained on the front line of Yunzhou, with Lize County at the junction of Pu, Cao and Yun as the core

Sentry barricades and beacons serve as the outermost cordon.

Here I also set up the first real naval army, although initially there were only two battalions of men and horses, and the vehicles were transported

There are more than a dozen boats, plus dozens of large flat ships.

Most of the oarsmen and boatmen, who also served as hand-to-hand combatants, were from local people. At present, it is entered by the river on the banks of Onozawa

Kou -- Juye County, which is the rear garrison and training base.

The main duty is to be responsible for mobile patrols along the river, transporting and supporting the combat of the land division when needed.

In the unfavorable situation ahead, you can also cover other troops along the canal, retreat into Onozawa, and continue to deal with the incoming enemy

and buy time for backup. Or simply turn along the river to Jisu and retreat in the direction of Qiju and Jeju.

After the brigade led by me returned one after another, one directly subordinate soldier and one state soldier and horse envoy, plus three or four defenses

The garrison camp will become the main combat force supporting the Yunzhou front and confronting the Northern Army.

The first soldier and horse envoy from Linyi to roll up the flag, and the new Yunzhou soldier and horse envoy will become this road

of the chief and deputy chiefs.

And Yunzhou, which has a relatively close heart, serves as the peripheral screen of its own forces. I can just get a little bit free, place

Set and purge the territory of Jeju, Qizhou, and Yanju in the rear, and those who were defeated or scattered went into exile in Dao

The remnants of Fanhu on the way, the remnants of the homeless bandits.

At this time, the troops crossing the border on the return journey came in handy.

According to the previous experience of local purges, they will be combined into more small and medium-sized war groups according to the various types of horse infantry artillery, and matched

Prepare enough mobility mounts to respond to the needs of local clearance in a more flexible and mobile manner.

Then, it can be further digested and sorted out, the existing resources and population of these areas. Even as a third category,

District C, which maintains the status quo on the spot, can also increase a lot of ready-made population, land and output under the rule of the Zhenfu government.

In this way, it can be regarded as a conquest, and the front has been pushed a lot eastward, and it has obtained a buffer of at least two states

My trip to the west will not lack substantive achievements.

However, as the territory expands and the distance between communication and transportation increases, I also need a way to communicate and respond faster

As a supplementary means of communication in addition to the traditional fast horse delivery and beacon police.

Especially for Yunzhou, which is currently in the prominent part of my sphere of influence.

And the best option that can be obtained at the moment is undoubtedly the cable telegraph line that is being used outside the ridge, but these ago

The technological remnants of the generation are a state secret that the Southern Dynasties maintain and monopolize, and it is not so easy to get their hands on it.

If you want to develop it yourself, although you have a clear direction and a technology tree, you need it in terms of specific material processes

Slowly accumulate and practice.

For example, the metal wire drawing process as a wire already exists, and if you don't care about the conduction loss, you can directly use the iron wire

It can also be improvised. As an external means of protection for line insulation and corrosion protection, in the absence of plastic sheath,

It can also be solved by coating lacquer on the outside, or wrapping eucommia gum in the soil.

However, as the basic equipment that provides the source of electrical pulse signals, the original cylinder lead-acid reaction battery is the chemical raw material required

Before the three acids and two alkalis enter mass production, they cannot be solved by themselves.

Therefore, I had no choice but to settle for a transitional approach. That is, right now, it is being built in front of me

coming, high-rise buildings like wooden towers and windmills,

On an abandoned flint platform on the banks of Onozawa, engineers and craftsmen from the Kensheng Army used shovels to cut them down

The rammed earth skin that has been weathered or soft and cracked until a relatively solid dark interior is exposed, and then it can be used

part, smeared with a pot of three-way soil slurry for reinforcement.

Other soldiers, on the other hand, drew several fifty-pace-long straight lines around the ruins of the beacon as the central axis, and then followed

The branch line is dug diagonally for a ditch, and compacted into a new wall, and then a low wall of the city is wrapped with gravel as an attachment

It belongs to the planning of the building.

A large number of freshly fired adobe bricks were wrapped and pasted on a flint covered with fresh plaster, up to a five-zhang high platform, and then inserted into three large ones

Wooden pillars, nail plates reinforced into a three-zhang high hollow spire, the top is equipped with a large disc winch lever and other brackets.

In the end, based on the old site of the beacon, a tall building similar to a cross windmill was built, but the blades were much narrower

, which turns through the lower part of the guò hand-cranked winch, also leaves a refractor chamber and holes for night lighting.

The blades of the windmill are positioned in a number of folded outer extensions, which are pulled by the lower noose of the guò to change the knots

The shape of the arm stick, and then to express dozens, to hundreds of corresponding symbols.

This is the long-distance signal relay method that has been popular all the way in modern times - the wrench signal, or it can also be called

for wrench signal towers.

And as a source that impressed me, it was also used in the novel "The Count of Monte Cristo" as a daily hand to speculate on public debt

Segment.

The protagonist who changed his name and surname to become an overseas rich man came to take revenge was to buy the operator of the signal station and let himself

Their own enemies have received false information and are bankrupt in foreign public debt speculation.

During the two wars of modern Europe, the dwarf emperor, relying on the relay of the signal station, is said to be in Paris only

In a matter of hours, you will receive a battle report as far as the Rhine.

Moreover, as a product of modern communication, the technical threshold is not high, and it can be picked during the day when the weather is fine

Colored lenses are used to reflect sunlight and transmit signals.

At night or during the day, when visibility is poor, the refined oil lamps are used to provide different colors similar to those of the refracting lighthouse

flashes to continue the message.

In this way, in addition to overly complex content, forwarding some concise and concise special secret words can be completely satisfied

Daily military communication, and even the needs of civil administration at all levels.

As a result, even long after the invention of radio, siding annunciators were still used as equipment for railway management

set of facilities, which have been used in modern society.

Of course, in my time and space, for the convenience and cost saving of daily maintenance, these communication nodes are along

It is arranged in the towns and villages on the traditional trade routes, or the tuntian resettlement points.

The base site of each signal tower, in addition to continuing to play the role of beacon, can also be used as a post station and a grain station

for patrol maintenance and guarding. If there is a failure or the weather is delayed, you can also take the nearest express horse, etc., manually

means to remedy.

In this way, if necessary in the future, further electricity can be laid on the basis of the nodes of these signal stations and military bases

Transmission lines.

Of course, this is a very distant thing, and the current plan and expectation are good, and I am afraid that it will be used concretely

There are quite a few specific issues and details that need to be addressed. For example, the problem of shortening the line of sight on the plain, the signal transmission process

Medium error excess and delay management.

Therefore, the setting up along the line from Yunzhou to Yidu in Qingzhou is only a preliminary pilot, and it is me who can travel through the state overnight

The minimum bottom line, once it has been effective, will be extended to all the states under its jurisdiction......

Huainan Road, Gaoyou Army and Xinghua Town, Taizhou, Linze City at the junction, has just been planted with the flying yellow battle flag representing the recovery.

"Where is the Strike Team?"

"Why haven't you entered Chu......zhou as scheduled?"

The southeast road recruited the head of the camp, and Ning Chongxuan also questioned loudly

"Obviously, with a little effort, you can connect the two Huai......"

"Marshal, this army is already exhausted......"

A veteran with gray hair in a draped voice, his face did not change

"Although the supply of grain and grass equipment is still sufficient, ......"

"But the soldiers can't fight anymore......"

"Especially after a period of tug-of-war, and after moving from defense to offense......"

"The soldiers and civilians are all tired......"

"Urgently need to replace and replenish the ...... of the new forces in the rear"

"At least I need the support of the sailor......"

Speaking of the sailor, there was a sudden silence in the tent, and it fell silent.

In fact, since the sailors who entered Gaoyou Lake, the light enemy and the unfamiliar situation unfortunately ran aground in the river during the pursuit, and the Lu clan army that was killed back burned most of them with ant attachment tactics, there is no Yu Yong who took the initiative to fight.

And in Jiangning, a news from afar also made Jian Guo's face cloudy.

"The latest news, the Western Army has broken the contract and entered the customs......"

"The Dasan Pass has been lost, and the military horses of the Western Route have been defeated and retreated to the front line of Hanzhong."

"Fanhu on Jinghu Road and Shannan East Road has begun to assemble southward......"

"Intentionally crossing the river into the ...... of Gangseo-do"

He finally sighed, stretched out his hand on the uniform decree of the adjustment, and signed his own seal.

"Let the high-quality pet department that has completed the renovation quickly cross the river to ......"

Then he waited aside, supervising the Privy Vice-Chancellor who coordinated the middle lane.

"Ezhou cannot afford to miss ......"

"The transportation of Tokaido will have to wait a little longer......

"After all, it's still not time to be with me......"

He sighed a little tiredly, for the current situation is like a big ship in the middle of a long voyage, which has leaked and is still heading to its destination.

No matter how hard he, the helmsman, tries to make up for and deal with the aftermath, all kinds of problems and difficulties always come one after another with his measures, making people tired to deal with one after another.
