Just when the Qing army was cheering for the progress of the Jiangnan battalion in Nanjing, the Taiping army immediately gave the Qing army a head-on blow, but the beginning of this blow came from another battlefield - Hangzhou!

On February 10, 1860, Li Xiucheng led more than 20,000 people from Chen Kunshu, Tan Shaoguang, Lu Shunde and other troops to Nanling, passed through Yijiang Town and Matou Town in Qing, bypassed Ningguofu, and captured Guangde on the 24th.

After that, Li Xiucheng and other generals of the Taiping Army drove straight in, and even Kejingde, Taiping, Anji, Changxing and other places, made most of Zhejiang a chicken.

Immediately afterwards, Li Shixian feinted to attack Huzhou to contain the Qing army, and Li Xiucheng led six or seven thousand elite soldiers to pretend to be the Qing army, and attacked Hangzhou through Wukang day and night.

On March 11, Li Xiucheng led his elite troops to the outside of Hangzhou. At that time, in addition to the full camp, there were only more than 2,800 soldiers in Hangzhou City, and the soldiers had no fighting spirit, so they never thought that anyone would attack, and the garrison was extremely empty.

On March 19, after a night of fighting, the Taiping army relied on explosives to collapse the Qingbomen city wall, after which, the vanguard composed of 1,350 people immediately rushed into the city from the gap, captured the whole city of Hangzhou, and killed Luo Zundian, the governor of Zhejiang, and many others, but the city of Hangzhou General Ruichang and other garrisons failed to capture.

Hangzhou, the world shook, Emperor Xianfeng was furious, and successively issued decrees, asking Hechun to immediately send troops to recapture Hangzhou, a tax-paying land.

Obviously, when the Taiping army led by Li Xiucheng entered Zhejiang, it played the trick of encircling Wei and saving Zhao, and it was clear that it was to attack Zhejiang through guò to divide the Jiangnan battalion, so as to disperse the forces of the Jiangnan battalion, and to look for fighters in the movement, grasp the initiative on the battlefield, and if possible, try to annihilate the enemy in the field.

Regarding Li Xiucheng's intentions, He Chun, the commander of the Jiangnan battalion, actually saw it very clearly, and he understood his details even more, that is, the Jiangnan battalion seemed to have a large number of soldiers, but in fact there were many vacancies and limited combat effectiveness. Everyone reunited together, relying on the trench camp to slowly advance, and still have some combat effectiveness, if they are sent out to fight with the Taiping army, it will definitely be defeated.

It was because he understood that when the Taiping army began to attack Guangde, He Chun knew that Zhejiang was in a hurry in many places, but he did not send troops to rescue, and watched the fall of one city after another, and later saw that the other party had attacked Huzhou, threatening his own grain and grass land, and in order to reduce the adverse impact of others on his own death, he listened to the persuasion of others, and sent the general soldier Zhang Yuliang to lead 2000 troops from Liuhe to help on March 10.

However, it was obvious that it was perfunctory, in order to give an explanation to the next one, and he didn't expect Zhang Yuliang's two thousand people to do anything at all.

In fact, Hechun's approach was correct, under the circumstances at that time, he should continue to step up the siege of Nanjing, engage in a situation where you fight yours and I fight mine, and resolutely do not follow Li Xiucheng's dance steps.

The Jiangnan battalion is a strategic place that Hechun has painstakingly managed, and even if more than 200,000 people are deducted, the strength is still very strong. As long as you don't make mistakes, even if Nanjing can't be defeated in a short time, there will be no big losses. As long as his main army does not suffer much losses and relies on his strong strength, he will one day consume Li Xiucheng's Taiping army.

He Chun, who came to the front line, knew very well that the Taiping army was the most difficult moment at this moment, after Nanjing was besieged, it was only allowed to go out and not allowed to enter, and the defenders in the city may still have combat effectiveness, but the grain and grass are becoming more and more unsustainable.

And Tianjing is the capital of the Taiping Army, and it is also the place where Hong Xiuquan, the spiritual leader of the Taiping Army, is located, as long as Nanjing is captured, Hong Xiuquan is killed or captured alive, the Taiping Army will naturally collapse, and it will not be a problem at that time.

Therefore, Hechun recognized that Li Xiucheng did not dare to let Tianjing continue to be empty, and he definitely did not dare to stay in Zhejiang longer, he would have to return to Tianjing sooner or later, that is, Nanjing.

But it's a pity that Emperor Xianfeng didn't see it that way, he was frightened by the fall of Hangzhou, and then he was furious, and he didn't listen to the explanation at all, and successively ordered Hechun to send troops, with the emperor's will, Hechun was reluctant, so he had to obey the order and send 13,000 troops to recapture Hangzhou.

After seeing that the purpose of mobilizing the Qing army had been achieved, and knowing that this was already the limit of Hechun's troop transfer, and that it was impossible to transfer more troops, Li Xiucheng simply planted flags all over the city on March 24 as a suspicious soldier, withdrew from Hangzhou overnight, and led the army to gallop north.

On April 8, Li Xiucheng held a military meeting in Jianping, Anhui Province (now Langxi) with the auxiliary king Yang Fuqing, the prince Li Shixian, Liu Guanfang, Huang Wenjin, Wu Dingcai, Chen Kunshu and other major generals of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the conference room jointly agreed on a detailed plan for relieving the siege of Tianjing.

Taking advantage of the favorable opportunity of the Qing army's division of troops, most of the living forces of the Taiping army were concentrated, divided into joint attacks, and the Jiangnan camp was broken in one fell swoop.

So, when the Taiping Army was discussing how to break through the Jiangnan camp and make final preparations for the general attack, what was Li Yongji doing?

The answer is, he's busy brushing tonnage!

Brush tonnage? It may sound a little weird, but it's actually the tonnage experience of the space-time trading system!

Li Yongji thought about it, since this system increased with the number of days of survival of the master and the increase in the amount of teleportation tonnage, then most of his previous time had wasted this teleportation tonnage per unit of time.

For a long time, Zhang Xinda sent things here at full capacity, and let alone full load, he didn't even use one-tenth of the transmission tonnage.

In the past, Li Yongji has always had a sense of crisis, and has been busy reorganizing the armed forces for war, or he has been busy teaching the group of primary school students, and he has ignored the past, but look at the time has passed for two months, the Taiping army has been wandering around in Zhejiang, and it is far from Qingpu County, and according to the historical records sent by Zhang Xinda to himself, if the Taiping army wants to fight Qingpu County, it will have to be after June.

It is now April, and after the large-scale reorganization of the elite armed forces, it has been conducting high-intensity training for two consecutive months, and at present, the whole army has passed the run-in period, and the combat effectiveness has been initially formed, and the training is basically on track, so Li Yongji has temporarily put his mind at ease, and no longer stays in the barracks every day to focus on military training, but has taken out more time to consider rectifying the economy, that is, to brush up on the experience of the system.

For Zhang Xinda, his transmission tonnage has always been operating at full capacity, and the transmission tonnage has been in a very tight state.

Due to the reorganization into divisions and the expansion of the size of the army, the demand for all kinds of modern military materials is getting bigger and bigger, and after a month in a row, Zhang Xinda is also a little unbearable, so as early as a month ago, the transmission volume of horses has changed from 200 a day to 100 a day, and the empty tonnage is used for other munitions and materials and economic tonnage, that is, the large exchange business of pearls for jade and copper money for gold has been restarted.

Although after eating the Wang family, Li Yongji became rich for a while, and the jade jade worth more than one million taels of silver in the Qing Dynasty was very popular in the international market of modern society, and it was sold at a super high price of 750 million US dollars, which made Zhang Xinda ruthlessly wide for a while, but he couldn't bear Li Yongji's next thing.

Not to mention anything else, just those horses, the Ili horse and the Hequ horse average 4,000 yuan a horse, and the Quart horse and the Bell Huron horse are more expensive, an average of 30,000 yuan a horse, which is still an ordinary horse like blood unity.

20,000 Quart horses and Bel Huron horses, more than 10,000 Yili horses and Hequ horses, a total of more than 30,000 horses ordered, plus various transportation and other losses, the horses alone cost nearly 700 million yuan.

In addition, other companies bought companies, bought equipment, made weapons, etc., and spent about 2 billion yuan before and after, which cost most of the money from the sale of jewelry, jadeite and gold in the past.

Although there is still a lot of money left, he can't bear Li Yongji's more and more, so in order to ensure the continuity of his economic chain, Zhang Xinda forcibly prescribes an economic tonnage for his own transmission tonnage, that is, within the economic tonnage, only transmits money-making things, such as gold, silver, jade, and pearls.

Since a month ago, Zhang Xinda has fixed 10 tons of pearl tonnage every day to send cultured pearls here, and another 30 tons of brass tonnage to fix the transmission of brass. In addition to the economic tonnage of these 40 tons, the remaining 60 tons are the tonnage of military materials.

What I want to say here in particular is that the reason why brass is transmitted and imitation copper coins are no longer transmitted is because Li Yongji found that the price of copper itself is actually higher than the price of copper coins.

In other words, due to the continuous depreciation of copper coins, if the same one or two copper coins are all turned into copper coins, the value will actually drop greatly! It took a lot of effort and labor to turn brass into copper money, but the price was still low, such a strange thing, and the Qing Dynasty could come out here, and many people complained that they melted copper money into copper to sell.

The only way for the people of the Qing Dynasty to deal with this situation was to make inferior money, that is, to make one tael of copper become the original two taels of copper to make inferior money, so the rampant inferior money was not entirely a factor of corruption and war, and it was really too short of copper in the current Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, whether from the economic point of view or from the perspective of security, it is much better to pour pure brass than to pour copper coins, which can also be seen that Zhang Xinda and Li Yongji are constantly groping forward in learning, and they are never static in terms of the types of goods traded in the plane.

In less than a month, Qingpu County became a new pearl producer, brass producer and jade gold acquisition place, which naturally formed a new financial market, which led to other industries and triggered a new round of prosperity.

At present, this prosperity has just begun, but there are already signs, in other words, Li Yongji put pearls and brass on the side, and gold and jade jewelry on the other, which is equivalent to a breath, which naturally drives the economy, and the dart transportation and other related industries are almost controlled by the people of the Li and Wang families, and the Li and Wang families are dependent on Li Yongji and the Jingwu army, so the power of Li Yongji has increased in disguise.

Best of all, this kind of transaction is of great benefit to either party.

For example, for Zhang Xinda, he could continue to get super cheap gold, jadeite, white jade and other valuables, and for Qing Dynasty merchants, they could also get super cheap pearls and copper coins.

However, gold and jade are not cabbage after all, and the Qing Dynasty itself is small in quantity, and it is also a valuable product, which cannot be compared with the brass and cultured pearls on Zhang Xinda's side, so even if this business becomes more and more prosperous, it is impossible to fill Li Yongji's teleportation tonnage.

In fact, Li Yongji can only send a little more than 4 tons of jade and gold to Zhang Xinda every day, and there is still a lot of surplus in the remaining tonnage.

In order to use his surplus and congest Zhang Xinda, Li Yongji began to buy silver to transmit to Zhang Xinda, but there is another problem, the total amount of silver in the market in Qingpu County is actually not large, and silver is the main currency of the Qing Dynasty.

After all, Li Yongji is currently rooted in Qingpu County, and the better and more prosperous Qingpu County is, the better his legion will live.

At this time, Li Yongji began to complain to himself, saying that this teleportation system is too cheating, what is the use of transmitting more by himself, and it is the king to let Zhang Xinda's client transmit more, after all, the productivity of the Qing Dynasty cannot be compared with modern times, and after this, in turn, a lot of tonnage has been wasted.

However, Li Yongji thought about it again, silver cannot be purchased in large quantities, and the total amount of gold and jade is too small, and a large market climate has not yet been formed, but he can also use his own transmission tonnage to purchase local general daily necessities and cash crops, and stimulate local people's livelihood through guò purchase!

Anyway, I don't lack money to spend, just pour copper, and don't make too much money every day.

So, what is there in Qingpu County that ordinary people can produce, hope to sell at a good price, and get into the modern society without suffering?

That's right, just don't suffer losses, Li Yongji has already thought about it, as long as he doesn't lose the materials sent to modern times, anyway, it is to brush up experience, and this can also stimulate local production.

Thinking about it, it seems that Qingpu County can provide a large number of materials at present, food and silkworm cocoons!

There is no way, the Qing Dynasty was still a small-scale peasant economy at this time, and the main bulk materials were related to food and clothing, and Qingpu County was a famous county with a large output.

As mentioned earlier, it is profitable to make money from the Qing Dynasty to dump grain to modern society, and the problem of raw silk, most of the raw silk in the Qing Dynasty is native silk, which is of little value in modern society, but you can not buy native silk, and directly purchase silkworm cocoons!

Although the price of silkworm cocoons in modern society is not too high, but when converted, it is still more expensive than that of the Qing Dynasty, that is to say, using copper money or silver to buy silkworm cocoons from the Qing Dynasty, and then get them to sell in modern society, it is also a very profitable business.

In this way, Li Yongji began to sweep the silkworm cocoons in Qingpu County at a price two percent higher than the market price.

Li Yongji has calculated that if it is purchased at this price, it is much more cost-effective for small farmers than to make their own soil silk and then sell it, and the price of selling raw silk without reeling silk is why not? For Li Yongji, even if the price increases by 20%, from the perspective of earning RMB, he will still make more than three times the profit.

No way, in fact, from the perspective of production costs, in fact, the cost of silkworm cocoons in the Qing Dynasty is said to be higher than that of modern silkworm cocoons, after all, the technical means of the small peasant economy are too backward, but there are economic means in the middle of the period!

After all, Li Yongji's purchase of silkworm cocoons is the use of copper coins and silver, and there is also a currency price, that is, the problem of copper prices, and the copper price in modern society is much lower than the copper price in the Qing Dynasty, which is completely incomparable, which is the fundamental reason for this situation.

In just half a month, the people of the two families of Tongguò and Li Wang purchased more than 720 tons of silkworm cocoons, almost sweeping away the local silkworm cocoons in Qingpu County.

Although 500 tons is a lot, it is Li Yongji's transmission capacity of less than two days, which is not enough to stuff his teeth. Even if he continues to buy from the surrounding areas, I'm afraid that the entire Songjiang Mansion will not be able to keep up with Li Yongji's teleportation.

If you want to rely purely on silkworm cocoons to keep up with Li Yongji's transmission volume, then I am afraid that the entire Jiangnan region will add up, and there must be no turmoil, but now that the Taiping Army is doing a good job, it may be a problem to buy silkworm cocoons on a large scale, not to mention anything else, transportation alone is a big problem.

In order to make good use of his transmission tonnage, Li Yongji also wanted to add grain, but as soon as he received 500 tons of grain, the price of grain in the market rose sharply, and those who grew grain were just enough, but the people in the city could not even bear it.

It seems that the grain does not work, the amount of silkworm cocoons is not large enough, and there are no minerals in the local area that can be sold at a high price in modern times, at least not found, this guide zhì Li Yongji's teleportation tonnage still can't run at full capacity, and he can't brush experience points at full capacity, which makes Li Yongji feel a little annoyed.

Li Yongji finally understood a problem, that is, under the current small-scale peasant economy of the Qing Dynasty, any large-scale trade you move will have a great impact on the local area, and if you want to change it, you must first increase productivity and increase local production capacity!

To improve productivity, at present, it is necessary to develop industry first, and large industry is not suitable now, after all, Li Yongji's territory is still unstable; And what about light industry? This can be had, but that one is not in a hurry, the most urgent thing at the moment is probably to play agriculture first.

Because the time has entered April, the spring equinox has passed, and the Qingming and Guyu are about to pass, which is the traditional sowing time in the Jiangnan region of China, which is the so-called agricultural time.

Agriculture is a thing with a relatively long production cycle, and once the agricultural time is delayed, it is more difficult to think about high yields, so we must first engage in agriculture and light industry, there are so many types, and we can do it at any time.

Therefore, in order not to delay the agricultural time, Li Yongji asked Zhang Xinda to bring a lot of high-yield rice seedlings, plus a lot of organic fertilizer and modern farm tools, and prepared to select 1,000 mu of the best 10,000 mu of paddy field that was intercepted from Wang's family as a test field for trial planting.

However, just when Li Yongji took people to the field and explained to the tenant farmers how to apply organic fertilizer, how to grow high-yield rice, and how to use these new farm tools, an unexpected guest suddenly visited.

The visitation of this guest disrupted some of Li Yongji's plans, so that Li Yongji had to face and contact some things in advance.
