[There is a dragon set in the book review area, if you are interested, you can set up a character by yourself, both Chinese and foreign, and you don't have to be all under Chen Ming]

The former Qing Dynasty Anhui Governor Yamen, the current Anhui General Military Office of the Fu Han Army, and the current Fu Han Army are mostly superintendents. The arrival of the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info Chen Ming squeezed Gao Pingshan directly to the office of the former political envoy Yamen in Anhui.

On the large map hanging on the wall behind Chen Ming, the large red area that originally spanned the north and south of the river has now shrunk by seven or eight percent, and only half of Yangzhou Mansion has not been lost in northern Jiangsu, and Jiangnan has once again returned to the situation at the time of the decisive battle in northern Jiangsu -- the territory still controlled by the Fu Han army is only a narrow stretch along the river.

"Hasn't the main force of the defenders of the Huangshan Fort in Jiangyin been withdrawn?"

"Governor, the main force of the Huangshan Fort has retreated."

"Then Jiangyin should also be withdrawn. Just hold Zhenjiang. Chen Ming dropped the report that Huang Jie had arrived, and was a little unimpressed by Jiangyin's gains and losses. That place is lost, Jiangyin is a little too far away from Zhenjiang, in the case that Nantong Prefecture on the north bank has been taken by the Qing army, the too far water and land passage is too easy to be cut off by the Qing army from the middle, so there is nothing to pity.

The situation in Nanjing, as long as the Fu Han army still controls Zhenjiang-Nanjing-Yangzhou for the time being, such a triangle will be fine.

Besides, for the sake of the previous strategic arrangement, the price paid by the Fu Han army is still small?

When the team in northern Jiangsu evacuated Huai'an, there were still more than 100,000 or 200,000 stone rice grains hoarded in the Huai'an grain depot and it was too late to transport them away. The same is true of the Huangshan Fort in Jiangyin, where only a small number of people were left to pretend on the fort after the gunners and guards withdrew. If the Qing soldiers came, their only task was to blow up the fort and the forty or fifty cannons on the fort, and then flee instead of desperately resisting.

The artillery of the Fu Han army came easily, but forty or fifty cannons were not a small number. Chen Ming has given up so much, what else is there that he can't give up a Jiangyin county?

It's a pity that he had a good impression of Jiangyin before. The Fu Han army occupied Jiangyin for so long, and the people who defected to the Fu Han army in the whole Jiangyin could not get together two battalions. Although this number is much better than other places, it is still much worse than Chen Ming's 'expectations', and Chen Ming's previous feelings have been blinded.

Put down the report sent by Huang Jie, and the express report sent by Miao Fuwei in Jiujiang. The number of Qing troops and Jiangxi people gathered on both sides of the mouth of Jiujiang Lake has reached 30,000. After Chen Yongsheng led the Jiujiang Army to attack Hubei, Chen Ming sent Miao Fuwei to sit in Jiujiang, and naturally he also had an extra hat of the Jiangxi Chief Military Officer on his head, just like Gao Pingshan's current Anhui General Military Officer.

Miao Fuwei now has a small number of men and horses at hand, but sixty or seventy percent of them are new soldiers, and the remaining three or four percent are also non-main forces, and their combat effectiveness is only weaker than that of the Qing army and people on the other side. That is, they were in a defensive posture, and the artillery power was abundant, Chen Ming strengthened an artillery battalion for Jiujiang, which allowed Jiujiang to partially block the Qing army's attacks again and again.

Of course, Miao Fuwei's express report was a request for reinforcements.

He picked up the pen and wrote the words 'got it' on the fold, and then put it aside with his backhand. Some things can be explained below, but after explanation, there is no need to explain below, the battle situation in Jiujiang is a stalemate. Then it's a stalemate, the Fu Han army now has enough gunpowder, how many people can the Qing army feed the shells? Even if Miao Fuwei came to ask for reinforcements with a bulletin a day, Chen Ming would not send out a single soldier. The only thing he cares about now is Huangpi!

In just two hours, Chen Ming read more than 20 newspapers, and wrote the word 'got it' on most of the folds.

"Let Xie Hu and Xie Baoguang come to serve as the prefect of Anqing, and promote the people's livelihood and industry in Anqing."

Since Xie Hu was rescued in the prison of Nankang Mansion in Xingzi County, he was disheartened by the Manchu Qing after recovering from his injuries, and after his family was picked up by the Fu Han Army, it was natural to work for the Fu Han Army. It's just that this Xie Hu is indeed very good, so what should I do? was transferred to Anqing and made him the prefect of Anqing.

"The county magistrates at the county level below, as well as the adjutants from all over the country, you must draw up a list as soon as possible. Don't be afraid to take responsibility, as long as you don't make mistakes, the mistakes of the people below are just their own faults, and they can't involve you. There are not a few people in our bags now, and those who have been masters are not fools, so let them be used. Make a list as soon as possible. Before we set off for Hubei, we will finalize the appointment of officials in Anqing and Jiujiang. ”

Chen Ming said to Zheng Hongyu and Liu Dezhao in front of him. The prefect of Anqing appointed Xie Hu, and the prefect of Jiujiang appointed Zheng Wen, the former prefect of Yangzhou. The latter is a native of Shaoxing, the master of the Taiping Prefecture [Wuhu], when the Fu Han army captured Wuhu on the way down the Yangtze River, Zheng Wen failed to escape, so he obediently surrendered to serve the Fu Han army.

This person is greedy for life and afraid of death, and as soon as he is captured, he will be thin, and it is difficult for Chen Ming to truly trust him. Chen Ming didn't believe him at the beginning, but Zheng Wen had been a staff master for more than ten years, and he was very handy in handling all kinds of chores, and in the long-term surveillance of him in the secret camp, he did not find any signs of Zheng Wen colluding with the Qing army. Although Chen Ming still can't fully trust him now, he also uses his talents.

As for the adjutant below the prefect's level, as well as the chief and deputy officials at the county level, Chen Ming didn't have the heart to sort it out. It was directly handed over to the original Southeast Administration and Liu Dezhao to do.

He now wants to settle all the troubles in Anqing and Jiujiang by dividing them by two, and then lead the rest of the team into Hubei, and the men and horses in Jiangnan have also withdrawn into Anqing and Jiujiang one after another.

News has already come from the Northern Bureau of the Dark Camp that the Qing army, which had been transferred to the front line of Guide and Kaifeng by A Gui, is rapidly turning back to the front line. Moreover, a Qing army horse team has already moved south from Chenzhou to Xinyang, and the team led by Chen Erbao has returned to Xiangyang from De'an, and then returned to Nanyang. Now the Henan Secret Camp is working hard to detect the number of that horse team......

In the southeast direction outside the city of Anqing, near the Xishanzui of Pogang Lake, this was originally a land of the rich man surnamed Wang, when the Fu Han army came, the Wang family ran away, and this land fell into the hands of the Fu Han army. The terrain here is very high, not to mention the proximity to the lake, but the hundreds of acres of fields are almost all ordinary dry fields.

Now it has become a bustling construction site, which catches up after the beginning of spring. The Fu Han army recruited thousands of strong laborers from the surrounding area with a salary of two silver dollars per person, and in half a month, five neat rows of neat houses were erected on this high ground, as well as playgrounds, canteens, watchtowers, and a seven-foot-high fence.

In Anqing, in the beginning of spring, it is also very cold when the river breeze blows, but the hearts of the people working on the construction site are swollen. After working for so long, it would be too much for them to know what this place was going to do.

The Fu Han army invested a lot of money and opened this technical school to teach people skills. Technical school, technical school, technical school. Blacksmiths, coppersmiths, leathermasons, bricklayers, stonemasons, carpenters, scalemakers, mackers, ropemakers, garment making, simple literacy and hyphenation, arithmetic and abacus, are all taught, and are free of charge.

The first batch of 500 people will be enrolled, and if their children are willing to come to the school, they can all come to sign up, and priority will be given to admission. Because these people come to the construction site to eat food, they are all guaranteed by a joint name, so that they can come to work. Such a person is innocent and trustworthy.

The technical school does not force future graduates to serve the Fu Han Army, and the school clearly stated in its external propaganda that this is purely a policy of benefiting the people of the Fu Han Army, and there will be more and more such policies in the future. The school does not charge fees, and the school where students are willing to live also provides dormitories, and the canteen is open to all teachers and students.

However, the school also stated that if the student does not work hard and provokes trouble, the school has the right to expel him.

For many Anqing people, letting their children learn a craft is a good thing for a lifetime. In the past, they had to send their children to be apprentices, learn trades, and prepare generous gifts, begging grandpa to tell grandma to make the master agree. If the child is sent in, it is equivalent to being sold to the master in the next few years, not to mention that he can't get a penny, and if he doesn't go with the master's wishes, it is commonplace to beat and scold him.

Of course, the master has to take care of the apprentice's food, drink and clothing after accepting the apprentice, no more than here in the technical school, where food and clothing are at home every day.

So there are good and bad on both sides, but in general it is still a good technical school.

The Fu Han Army also deliberately introduced a technician qualification certificate, and each of the craftsmen who taught in the school was at least an intermediate technician or above, while ordinary folk craftsmen could not even pass the junior technician assessment. This thing was first implemented in the logistics troops, and then in the shipyard in Jiujiang, and now it has been officially promoted.

If the folk craftsmen are not convinced, they can try their hands and know a thing or two.

There is an exhibition hall in the outermost houses of the technical school, where not only ready-made finished products are put on display, but also there are masters in the rim who perform live there. This measure can greatly reassure the people of Anqing. Of course, the master who practiced in the past will inevitably have to deal with the challenges of outsiders in the future and prop up the table.

The Fu Han army won the battle of northern Jiangsu, and now Chen Ming is full of confidence in the attack on Hubei, and the foothold of the Fu Han army in Anqing and Jiujiang has evolved from a strategic bridgehead to a front-line base to be carefully managed.

The purpose of setting up a technical school in Anqing is to win over the local people. And when the time is right, the Fu Han army will also carry out Western-style primary education, or a modern school system, although Chen Ming's familiar school education system originated in the West, but the one he is more familiar with is not completely consistent with the Western education system in the 18th century, he has no score. Primary education, as well as higher level vocational and technical colleges, and then slowly move towards comprehensive colleges and universities, and everything has to be done step by step.

The current phenomenon of education in China, Chen Ming is to gather the strength of the whole country, and he also wants to climb to the sky in one step to make Tsinghua University and Peking University, which is unrealistic. The gap in some aspects of China in this era lies not only in practical application, but also in systematic education and training.

A group of soldiers of the Fu Han Army was stationed outside the school for a long time, and the people working on the construction site could often see soldiers wearing Red Army uniforms coming and going, and those people also came to the construction site from their homes with some pickled eggs, duck eggs, chickens, ducks and geese, and other meat and poultry to sell to these soldiers.

Soon after dawn that day, the people who went to work came to the construction site as usual with their burdens, parcels, or carts, and a group of them gathered outside the barracks to sell goods, but were stopped by a large number of military police. The people of Anqing all know the military police, these people are dressed in black, with three red bars embroidered on the cuffs, and they are completely different from the ordinary Fu Han army.

"The barracks are under martial law in the morning, and you will come back in the afternoon to do business."

A gendarmerie officer shouted at them, his tone was cold and hard, but his attitude was not rude, and the gendarmes did not rush to drive them away, but only separated the people from a line. The people lamented and dispersed. Later, news spread that there were big people present that day...... (To be continued.) )
