"Hold three more porcelain jars up and blow up all the pieces below!"

Although his ears were roaring and his face was full of fireworks, the left mule had no compassionate heart. The city was too threatening to Yuezhou. Although the long-haired thieves under the city were miserable, these siege cars with tricks underneath still had to be destroyed.

There were three loud noises, and the three chariots of the long-haired thief were completely destroyed. Looking at the other two retreating, Zuo Mule felt much more relaxed.

"I finally held it!"

The long-haired thief defeated the city these days, and the defeat was due to tricks. The army of 70,000 will be defeated! If they rushed up from all directions, the number of people in Yuezhou camp could be blocked for a while, but they would definitely be exhausted in three or five days.

As long as Shi Xiangzhen gritted his teeth and made the 70,000 troops continue to attack the city. Although there will be countless casualties, Yuezhou City will definitely not be able to defend it!

Taking advantage of the situation? Is there any more skillful life than garrisoning more than 100,000 kilograms of nitrate? After several large porcelain jars, the long-haired thief's desire to fight was already lost. Apart from turning to other people, he was seeking death in Moji, Yuezhou.

Young people are young people, and they see that there is too little world. They always want to preserve their strength. If they have not lost more than half of the loss, they have to be cruel to Yuezhou. They should not be in the Moji City of Yuezhou. Staying in Yuezhou will only make the worse and worse.

"Based on this section of the city wall, build a wooden fence behind the wall, as strong as possible!"

Nine large porcelain jars exploded, and the city wall in Yuezhou became unrecognizable. At first, the three porcelain jars exploded. The blackened rammed earth was exposed in the place where the explosion was exposed, and the other sections of the wall bricks were also severely damaged. Although the left mule can basically confirm that the hairy thieves will not attack the city in large numbers. But who can explain the situation clearly now? If you are not afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of something.

Four tanks were damaged. More than 2,000 people were killed in battle, and more than 3,000 people were injured. The small Yuezhou City had lost nearly 8,000 soldiers. Most of the wounded people who retreated lost their combat power. The wounded tung oil and the porcelain pieces covered with the body could only make many injured people cry. Waiting to slowly rot and die, Yuezhou City was anxious and difficult to take it easily.

The reason why Shi Xiangzhen gave up the siege was not just because the left demon head was better guarding. Now the 70,000 army is the most scarce, and the water army has more supplies. The land division brought by Shi Fengkui and Zeng Tianyang did not have much supplies. It would be impossible to surround Yuezhou if he didn't go out to raise some supplies.

The Wing King also had such a military order. Once the attack was unfavorable, he would attack Changsha. Shi Xiangzhen was also afraid of being beaten by Zuo Mule, so he decided to take 20,000 troops to surround Yuezhou, Shi Fengkui, Zeng Tianyang, and Wei Jun, leading 50,000 troops and 2,000 warships to attack Changsha.

Zuo Jigao defended Yuezhou! Zuo Jigao defended Yuezhou! This is not a good thing to the officials around Changsha. How could Zuo Jigao defended Yuezhou? Because the army of long-haired thieves began to invade the south. According to the Ma Lai report, three armies, 50,000 or 60,000 people, had come from water and land to Changsha.

How did Zuo Jigao prevent the long-haired thief from attacking Yuezhou again? Apart from the investigation, the fire that soared into the sky is worth pondering, there is no other possibility.

Because Changmao besieged the city, Zuo Jigao has not reported to Changsha until now. The Changsha officials are unknown to this wonderful method of defending the city.

After learning that the long-haired thief had withdrawn from Yuezhou, Zeng Guofan smiled rarely. For some reason, he was looking forward to the long-haired thief withdrew from Yuezhou and counterattacking Changsha!

Shi Dakai, who was in charge of Anqing, was also frowning like his own brother Shi Xiangzhen, and was thinking about good strategies to defeat the enemy!

Anhui and Jiangxi are progressing smoothly, but the two lakes can only be described as disasters. First, Yang Sange, who was stationed in the three towns of Wuhan, and then Zuo Zongtang, from Yuezhou. These two people lost 15,600 yuan to the heavenly soldiers. Such losses were only unprecedented.

The situation is changing, and Qing Yao is no longer as easy to deal with as before. The decline in combat power of the heavenly soldiers is one reason. In fact, the most important thing is the reduction of the attack range. If you can intersperse at will in the two lakes and Sichuan, Qing Yao will lose sight of the other.

But there was a third brother Yang from the three towns in Wuhan. Once the river road was broken, Sichuan could not enter easily. Once the retreat was broken, it would only be destroyed in the blink of an eye. I thought about going to Yuezhou and attacking the three towns in Wuhan, but I didn't expect that Yuezhou would be another tough bone.

Thinking about Yuezhou and then thinking about Yang San Ge in the three towns of Wuhan, Shi Dakai also had a scheming heart. The three towns of Wuhan are their own, and Yuezhou and the three towns of Wuhan are mutually supportive. I am afraid that Yuezhou will be difficult to fight, so there is also the shadow of Yang San Ge in it.

Since Brother Yang San wants to defend the three towns of Wuhan and Yuezhou, let him guard it. He will join forces with his army and take Changsha first. After he arrives in Hunan, he will go back to the battle of Yuezhou to Wuhan. He can hide from Brother Yang in Tianjia Town. Brother Yang San also returned a draw in Yuezhou, which was a draw. Now it depends on the situation in Changsha.

Shi Dakai is not like his clan brother Shi Xiangzhen. His military achievements are real. Shi Dakai is a real skill. It is difficult for Yuezhou to be put into practice. If you think about it carefully, the things inside cannot be hidden.

He also added an order to Shi Xiangzhen and Shi Fengkui, gathered a large army and went to Changsha with all his strength to recruit troops in Hunan, expand the heavenly soldiers on the battlefield, and then attacked Yuezhou and Wuhan!

With the military order of King Yi, Shi Xiangzhen felt much more at ease. It was his business to surround Yuezhou. As for the battle against Changsha, let's leave it to the other three!

Without Yang Meng's hands and feet, the Taiping Army's offensive became fierce again. He went to Xiangyin, attacked Ningxiang, and occupied Jinggang. The Taiping Army's offensive was sharp and the results were good. He did not encounter any resistance when he won the battle.

Because of Zeng Guofan's large-scale bandit suppression, some personnel from the Tiandihui and Gelaohui also took the opportunity to join the Taiping Army. The situation was very good, but... it was just that there was no food in Hunan!

There is no grain in Xiangyin! There is no grain in Ningxiang! Jinggang, one of the four major rice cities in Hunan, also has no grain. Hunan is the rice city of the Qing Dynasty, Jinggang is the rice city of Hunan, and Jinggang has no grain. I am afraid that the whole of Hunan will also lack food!

This move was made by Yang Meng, and the purpose was not just to make the Taiping Army without food. He now needs a large population. The Taiping Army's military aircraft is pretty good. Even if he grabs grain, he will not kill and injure the people in large numbers. If the people have no food in their hands, he will have a chance. As for the deeper level, it is to destroy the so-called people's hearts of the Taiping Army.

There is no offense. That is when there is sufficient supplies, and the Taiping Army will not be able to wither or adhere to the so-called military rules. Even if the troops are in trouble, it is a helpless move. Just try not to kill and hurt the people.

With the joining of the Tiandihui and Gelaohui, the Taiping Army also had a group of people familiar with Hunan, and the speed and efficiency of grabbing grain were much faster. In half a month, they created hundreds of thousands of refugees with almost no food in their hands.

But the food in the hands of the people is always limited, and the food in their hands is ultimately not as good as the grain depots of each prefecture and county, but the grain depots of each prefecture and county are all empty. In order to seize the military rations of the demon, several generals of the Taiping Army pointed their finger at Xiangtan. Xiangtan can be said to be a gathering place for the Green Camp soldiers in Hunan, and they are all in the city of food, grass and weapons. If they go to Xiangtan, the general trend of the heavenly soldiers will be there.

Ningxiang, Jinggang, and Xiangtan clamped Changsha from three directions. Once the 50,000 army had sufficient food and supplies, it would be no big problem to capture Changsha City.

The left mule in Yuezhou is still trapped, Zeng Disheng of Changsha is full of joy, the Shi Xianggong of Anqing is worried, and the Taiping Army in Hunan is ambitious, but Yang Meng, who is stationed in Wuchang, has done good deeds and sent the new army in Junshan to use the river ship seized from the Taiping Army to collect disaster victims and refugees on the shore of Dongting Lake.

Although the large number of refugees in Hunan are more or less related to him, Yang Meng, this is a war-torn season. Joining the Taiping Army or starving to death without food is a disaster that most people will face sooner or later. If Yang Meng can stand up, at least she will kill many people in Hunan.

What he did was just to speed up the pace a little! Under the towing of the barge, a fleet could take away tens of thousands of people and transport them day and night. In half a month, the Taiping Army grabbed the rations for the maintenance of the army, but Yang Meng snatched 700,000 to 800,000 people in Hunan.

From Huangzhou to Yuezhou, the Jiangfang area is basically in Yang Meng's hands. When doing these things, there is no need to deliberately avoid anyone. Today, except for thousands of Eight Banners soldiers in Hubei, there is basically no soldier.

Some local people may know that a large number of fleets passed through the border, but the court was completely unaware of it. Relying on water and land, Yang Meng kept collecting victims in Anhui, Jiangxi, and Hunan. If you have food in Hubei, you can survive by going to Hubei, which has become the secret of survival passed down by word of mouth by disaster victims in various places.

As long as it is to flee in Hubei, there are always some good people along the way to help these refugees. The road for the provinces to flee to Hubei has gradually become a fixed road. The government also turned a blind eye to these escaped people. After all, there is no food stored at this time. Even if there is one, it cannot be given to these paupers!

A large number of refugees poured into Hubei, which has a great test for the Yang family. The refugees are not all young and strong, with a small number of 100,000 a day. Recently, it is also the peak period when refugees poured into Hubei. If you come, you will be guaranteed to starve. As for eating and drinking, you will have to say something else.

Even so, Yang Meng's daily consumption in Hubei was calculated in units of tens of thousands of taels of silver. With some investment in infrastructure, since Yang Meng was stationed in the three towns of Wuhan, the daily expenses have exceeded 30,000 to 50,000 taels, and sometimes it may be more.

Since the beginning of last year, if everything is added, if you spend millions of taels of silver, you can basically see no substantial gains after you spend it.

"Master, now there are more and more people in Ezhou. There are already overwhelmingly overwhelmed. Are you going to diversion elsewhere?"

There is no shortage of food, but the resources of the prefectures and counties are limited after all. The burden on Huangzhou and Ezhou is too great. Gu Yayue reported the difficulties below to Yang Meng. Some things are not something that can be done by thinking about them.

"Well! Look at the prefectures and counties in Hubei. Wherever there is a shortage of people and where there is more abandoned land, we will temporarily divert some of them. The factories to be built everywhere and the rivers that should be built, no matter what the season is, let's send people now!

Let Yang Fuze from Yunnan and Ding Taichen from Guangzhou allocate a group of elite managers to Hubei, and the mine kilns everywhere will almost start construction!

Now at this time, there are not so many ways to think about it. You can do whatever you want! If it doesn’t work, just adjust it again!”

The strong men can make a way to survive no matter where they go. The most unlucky thing during the war is the elderly, weak, women and children. Children are still in Hubei, so they can be sent directly to the school. But the elderly and weak women need to make some living for them and raise them in vain. Yang Meng is not unable to afford it, but those who eat rice eat everything are all things that are so clean and watery at the porridge shop. If you can’t eat enough and you can’t starve to death, you will suffer!

The deformed industry created by Yang Meng is still in its infancy. What needs the most is to strengthen labor. It is not easy for old and weak women who have some labor to make a living at this time.

Yang Meng did not develop handicrafts such as weaving, silk reeling, etc. in Hubei. It was not easy to place old and weak women who were hundreds of thousands of yuan at a time.

"Master, you have made textiles in Yunnan, Sichuan's bristles, and silk in Jiangnan. Can we start in these aspects?"

Unlike Gu Yayue who is only responsible for reporting, Wei Zhiqing also has the task of making suggestions. There is no arsenal in the two lakes now, and the old and weak women have a narrower way out. Doing these may be a good way to live.

"Well! It's all done! The machine has been releasing silk from Xishan before, so let's do it! Let's get a batch of machines from Xishan, from silk to textiles, and then to ready-made garments. The ready-made garments have been sold in China recently, and others are made into cloth in the popular style in the West, so that our profits can be higher and more people can use them!

Let Master Ge from Xishan set up a handicraft school! As long as it consumes manpower and makes money, there are a group of transactions that have been sold recently. Those who can make money are left behind, and those who are not easy to manage, just argue. If it really doesn’t work, give up!”
