Jiangning Mansion, Stone Town.

Base camp! At the regular meeting, something was also reported.

"At the end of the autumn of the fourth year of Taiping, Saihu committed Huaidong, and Yun, Xu, and Yanshu prefectures were all police."

"On the shore of the five lakes, there are enemies in all eyes, and the mountains are all over the wilderness...... Blazing as mad and fierce as death......"

"There are eleven traps, and there are seven broken villages...... Dahuang County has been lost and regained......"

“…… In the past few years, the thieves and the enemy have been defeated on all fronts, killing more than 30,000 people, and countless people have died in the wilderness. So far, all parts of the country have to search and suppress the ......"

"More than 10,000 local soldiers and civilians have been injured, and countless people have been destroyed in their fields."

"Ordered Huainan to camp and give aid to ...... as appropriate"

Jian Guo waved his hand a little tiredly.

"When the water recedes, there are ...... wastes waiting to be rebuilt"

"I'm afraid it's going to be a bad winter......"

"However, the Huainan camp no longer has the need to meet the enemy head-on, and it should be able to draw out some materials and grain to ......."

"I don't know how the various armies took turns to change defenses and rest, how they were arranged......"

"The Tianning Army and Wusheng Army on the Huainan Frontier have been transferred back to Jiangdu for repairs......"

A high-ranking military attache said loudly.

"However, there are many shortcomings, and the military readiness situation is not very optimistic......"

"In a short period of time, it will be difficult to carry out mobile trekking along the river......"

Jian Guo frowned but did not speak, now the power in Huainan is under the jurisdiction of the camp, and there are about seven military orders, and the department claims to have nearly 60,000 sailors and armies.

However, in fact, except for the small half, which were the remnants of the Northern Expedition that were gradually gathered, most of them were second- and third-rate local troops, so there were quite a lot of shortages and limited combat power.

It is not a problem to use them as a garrison on a daily basis, but it is a bit difficult to expect them to run long distances and fight.

At this time, a palace guard suddenly presented a small piece of paper.

"Four Haiwei? ……”

The prison raised his voice again

"What does this have to do with them......

"According to Huaidong Town, Xinjin cracked a nest case of spying on military intelligence......"

"More than a dozen officials and officials are involved, and the main envoy claims to be from Sihaiwei......"

"And showed his official certificate ......"

"The place didn't dare to arbitrarily judge, but planned to hand it over together......"

"It's really inexplicable......"

The prisoner frowned again.

"When did Sihaiwei take the initiative to spy on the local military situation......

"Isn't this the duty of the Privy Council's Inspector General and the Privy Chamber's Office......"

"Isn't it too much of a mess......

And in Huainan Road,

The Huai River retreated back to the old road, although the water color gradually cleared and the waves rolled vaguely, but it was already a thing or a person.

As a fragile link between the north and south of the Huai River, two new pontoon bridges were built at a rate of three changes a day with the investment of local sailors regardless of labor costs and material resources.

It's just that the two Huai coasts have changed the world.

On the side of Sizhou and Xuzhou, various construction projects to return to their homeland are in full swing, while Chuzhou and Haozhou are people who are struggling and suffering from hell on the earth.

Therefore, a pontoon bridge is full of staggering people.

Many people just heard that Huaidong Town was willing to accept some hungry refugees from Huainan on a limited basis, so they arrived early and got early, and those who went late had no place.

But no one dared to push and trample, because of the Huainan garrison to maintain order, those who dared to do so were severely punished on the spot, cut off their heads or stabbed to death, and threw directly into Huaishui.

On the other pontoon, it is full of round-trip carriages, horses and goods, belonging to the local garrison of the Huainan camp, and the exclusive transaction content of Huaidong Town.

The output from the mainland in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River and the products from the three domains of the East China Sea and even further afield are flowing wave after wave on the trembling pontoon.

In addition, the trade between the north and the south, which had gradually fallen silent due to the gradual severance of the sea routes in winter, was revitalized and flourished. This is something that Huaidong Town, which issued the original initiative, or the Huainan camp, which sat back and watched it, did not expect, or some kind of unexpected joy.

At least? Although the situation in the northern part of Huainan Province was not suitable for the movement of large armies, it was enough to clear and pave a simple passage road for caravans to come and go.

And enough to be lubricated by money and driven by profits, most businessmen are fearless of winter and summer, cold and heat, and do not hesitate to suffer from wind, frost, rain and snow.

Therefore, around this pontoon bridge, the temporary camping and bazaar on the south bank of the Huai River have become the most popular places in the flood area.

In another case on the North Shore, there are countless new escapees who have gone to work on the spot. After the initial quarantine and sanitation treatment, the uniform blue cloth number was changed.

Walking barefoot in knee-high or waist-deep muddy water, using rudimentary tools and manpower, carrying earth and stones on their shoulders, the river flows endlessly like ants moving, full of clusters and attachments between sections of construction sites.

Although it is hard and the environment is harsh, in the coming winter, at least one bite of food can make people barely survive.

With the retreat of the Huainan flood and the restoration of the connection between the Huainan officials and the army, the Sizhou line along the Huainan has become a large rear in the real sense. Therefore, proper management and recovery are also indispensable.

In fact, both the three prefectures of the Jiaodong Peninsula, which had just been cleaned up and developed, and the three prefectures of Ji, Qi and Bin, which were along the Yellow Line in the north, were seriously short of labor and corresponding maintenance population.

Therefore, the limited control could only be maintained and extended in the form of a city-stronghold, and the hardened roads for vehicle traffic were basically built first, and then labor camps and supply and transfer bases were built along the continuous stretching roads.

Therefore, in such a situation of shortage of people everywhere, the labor needed for the development and restoration of Sizhou can only be found in Huainan, which is separated by a river.

In Sizhou, it was different, after the basic road was filled in by the engineering regiment of the Jiansheng Army, it was the first to be repaired, and it was undoubtedly the embankment wall that collapsed in the flooding of the Huai River.

Then the large and small puddles of water in the floodplain area about ten miles wide are drained, so that the land can slowly return to dryness in the cold and windy weather.

One by one, the cleaning and landfilling, all kinds of debris and accumulated garbage left behind after the water recedes, limited disinfection and purification

Yizhou, Fei County's teaching brigade rested.

Wu Jue, the new chief teacher of Huaidong Zhizhi Road (also known as Du Tuo), is also operating the latest fire hammer with a clear eye.

Ping Pong sounded a whole round of projectiles on the target thirty steps in front of him, and couldn't help but arouse the echoes of a nearby general who accompanied him, large and small.

Although the new chief instructor who was born early and gray haired, although his qualifications are not as good as his predecessor's Han Liangchen, he is a veteran general and veteran martial artist who knows the traditional combat methods best.

This is because although the Huaidong Army emphasized the tactics of firearms, it did not create something out of nothing, nor did it completely abandon the traditional battle formation methods and specific tactical means, but only made some selective choices and made other improvements, with the aim of cooperating with firearms to maximize their effectiveness, and further carried them forward.

Therefore, Wu Jue has become the most suitable person in another sense.

After all, as a benchmark and seed in the army, the teaching brigade should not only study how to maximize the advantages and victories of firearms, but also be able to deduce the composition and corresponding methods of the enemy's equipment training through simulated exercises.

In order to achieve a long-term confrontation with the enemy, always maintain sufficient advantages and generation differences.

The weapon used by Wu Jue belongs to the special existence of the teaching brigade, known as the fast gun team, and the wheel-type firearm used is also the latest modification of the third version.

Mainly for the leakage of gunpowder gas and the further improvement of the chamber pressure structure, the loading and firing method has also changed from flint to tin foil fire cap sequential excitation.

Therefore, although it is significantly less than the Zero and Type 1 series of long guns generally equipped in the army, the smoke is also a little larger, the structure is relatively complex and the failure and dumb fire rate are also beyond the reach of most firearms.

The veterans who have used it generally speak highly of it, calling it a Lianzhu gun, also known as a water Lianzhu, singles eight, known as one person loading and one person firing, can hit a lot of momentum and bullet rain like a curtain.

If you have prepared enough bullet wheels in advance, you can maintain them by one person alone, and you can continue to collect them for a long time.

Therefore, it is useful in defensive defenses, as well as in suppression before close combat.

It's just that this weapon is really a bit expensive. Compared with other relatively simple constructions, there are several types of firearms that are relatively simple and somewhat stupid, and only need to be roughly maintained.

The runner needs careful maintenance and dismantling and washing on a daily basis, and it needs to be carefully inspected before use to ensure that it is not easy to clamp the circlip and other faults such as overheating and fire leakage.

There have also been corresponding changes in the specific operating procedures and the tactical tactics used in firing.

As the chief teacher in charge of the standards and outlines of conduct and training in the military, it is natural that he must be familiar with and understand it.

Compared with the former head teacher Xi Han Liangchen, who has been deeply qualified and has always been low-key and introverted, he lacks some sense of existence

In fact, when he arrived, he was not in a hurry to do anything or give orders to show an extra presence, but when most people were not yet aware of the existence of the chief teacher. With this title, he visited many places in the army, and the corresponding establishment and fundraising.

It took several months to familiarize myself with the training team, from horn guns and long guns to fire and thunder bombs, fire oil bombs, revolver guns, heavy loose guns to inch diameters, all kinds of standard weapons in service, as well as the performance of embracing each other, supporting tactics, and arrays.

The Teaching Brigade, which was subordinate to the Yuhou Army, together with the pacesetter battalion, was a special formation that served as the core and seed unit that provided the backbone of the army.

Although after the establishment of the government-run joint school, most of the functions related to daily military education in the teaching corps, such as the military camp school, have been separated.

However, the basic functions of training junior officers in rotation or training non-commissioned officers, as well as experimenting with the application of new weapons and the improvement of corresponding tactical tactics, and cultivating technical experts of relevant arms are still maintained.

Therefore, for Wu Jue, his responsibility as the chief teacher is not to urgently make any improvements and significant changes, but to explore the potential under the existing framework and operate more skillfully and smoothly.
