Compared with the concerns and concerns among the subordinates, the issue of the happiness of the lower body of the Grand Governor and the descendants of the members of the back house, and the undercurrents that began to surge.

The envoy from Liu Hanhong in Huaixi also continued to travel and travel in Dantu City with ships of gifts; his words and requests became increasingly humble. Of course, what accompanied him was his unfavorable battle on the other side.

According to the rewards of the reconnaissance teams who kept secretly landing ashore, although the Huainan army fled back from Jiangdong suffered a considerable loss, they worked together to fight against the mobs under Liu Hanhong who were good at taking over the heads, and they still had the upper hand in every attack.

However, Zhou Huaian, who was busy resting and resting and restoring production, was too lazy to pay attention to or trespassing on this muddy water. According to the deduction and judgment of the aides and the group of attending members led by Yang Shigu, several forces in Huainan have not yet done their best, or have reached the critical point of some kind of confrontation.

Once the Taiping Army intervenes, it is likely to face a chaotic war that is entangled with many parties, or even a targeted attack that works together. There is no need to intervene rashly before sufficient preparations, and just maintain a certain amount of military pressure.

Moreover, in fact, as time passed after the war, and the continuous arrival of materials from the upstream and offshore seas, the first thing to recover was the water surface forces belonging to the Taiping Grand Commander's Office, rather than the ground troops.

The reason is very simple. Since obtaining the coastal prefectures of Jiangdong, not only has they seized a large number of ready-made new and old ships, but also obtained local craftsmen, places and material reserves, which can be regarded as a huge accumulation of shipbuilding industry.

Not to mention that the same large number of local boat dealers, boat owners, fishermen and other water families can serve as natural sources of troops to supplement the naval army. In contrast, the Jing, Xiang, Yue and E generations, which also have the tradition of naval army, cannot help but lose slightly in the population base.

Therefore, after this battle, it can be said that in addition to the water steamers with specialized manufacturing technology and artillery that are limited to the production area, the rest of the rest of the company have been doubled, and even the organization has been greatly expanded.

For example, the Fifth Army, which was mainly composed of water surface forces, doubled to more than 30,000 people and more than 1,000 boats and ships of all sizes. It also did not include the affiliated inland boat divisions, water war teams, garrisons and military ports in various places;

With these large enough warship bases, and a small number of firearms equipped with vehicles and ships are the backbone, it is enough to reblock the upstream and downstream and block the river surface, or provide corresponding landing support for future crossings.

In contrast, although the three major naval armies in Huainan that fought this time also had hundreds of warships, claiming to have more than 10,000 people each? However, the naval armies of the canal protection were the first to be finished in the battle on the river; and the Chaohu naval army was then severely damaged, and only a small part was able to retreat to the inland river in the north of the Yangtze River.

Although the Gaoyou Navy at the latest had the advantage of the downstream, the morale collapsed on the spot under the back attack from the upstream reinforcements. The ships that were not sunk either ran ashore or surrendered with flags.

Therefore, for a long time in the future, there will be no decent force in Huainan, and the offense and defense will be completely transferred. On the contrary, the special sea patrol ships from Guangzhou, with the support and supplement of the Jiangdong coastal port, can take turns blocking and blocking the sea off Yangzhou, and even force Guangling City to be forced to go down.

There are also some follow-up news from other places. For example, the three-season rice-producing areas in Guang and Longshu Prefectures have successively experienced continuous rice blasts, but by developing surplus products from primary chemicals, the Bordeaux solution (copper sulfate suspension) has been found, and it has been controlled.

In addition, by promoting and popularizing the planting of mountain wild grapes and subsequent processing and deposition processes, more tartaric acid and natural antimony oxide production capacity have been accumulated to ensure that schistosomiasis prevention and control measures have been prevented and controlled in the agricultural development and water conservancy construction of the newly occupied Taihu Lake Basin.

Large-scale floods broke out again on the Honghe Plain in Annan, but the direct losses caused by local water conservancy facilities were rebuilt and consolidated; but the expected output this season will be greatly reduced.

This may have been a serious problem in the past, but for the four roads (Lingnan, Jiangxi, Jiangdong, Shandong) controlled by the Grand Governor's Office, it is just a local issue that requires adjustment.

After all, there are many benefits to a primary industry. Even the most primitive and extensive versions mean in-depth processing and full utilization of primary agricultural products and industrial and mining raw materials, and even higher output efficiency and more by-products under the same input environment come from feeding back to agricultural production.

For example, phosphate fertilizer (supperphosphate produced by phosphate ores) and potassium fertilizer (potassium sulfate calcined by alum), the latter can be extracted directly from struvite. The latter has been widely circulated in this era, and the production is very large in the mountainous areas between Fujian and Zhejiang.

"Tang Bencao": There are five types of alum stones, green alum, yellow alum, black alum, and red alum. However, alum is mostly used as medicinal use. The green alum is used to treat malnutrition and various sores. Yellow alum is also used to treat sores and raw meat, and is also used to dye the skin. The red alum is originally green and has not seen wind in the new cave. Just like Luli, Tao and people today call it stone gallbladder, which is burned red, so it is called Jiang alum.

However, alum (copper sulfate pentahydrate) can also be used to replace and synthesize other compounds, or to further extract copper sulfate crystals.

A suspension made of copper sulfate, calcium hydroxide and water, Bordeaux liquid, can effectively kill most crop diseases and pests; it can also improve the germination rate and thriving rate to a considerable extent; the impact on agricultural yield increase throughout the era is obvious.

It can be said that the competition for civilizations from ancient times to the present, both at home and abroad can be basically attributed to competition in "farming ability".

Whether it is from the primitive soldiers to hunt and gather, or the farming and animal husbandry in slave society to feudal society, or even collective agricultural production under the foundation of modern industrialization, it can be mostly attributed to the broad scope of farming ability;

In the cruel and changeable wilderness and natural environment, only ethnic groups who are good at "farming" can form advantages and abilities to resist risks and changes, and even stand out from countless ignorant primitive tribes to form the initial germination of nations and civilizations;

As for those who are unable or not good at "farming" and need to rely on robbery to maintain their own ethnic group, they have almost been naturally eliminated in the long history of civilization evolution and development. Therefore, as time travelers, their natural advantages in this regard are simply too great.

Thanks to some achievements in later generations, such as the many crop seeds stored in sealed containers on the pickup truck that had been secretly salvaged. They are experimental varieties specially cultivated by domestic use of the local water and soil environment in Africa.

Among them are food crops and cash crops, and there are also some species on the American continent that have not been discovered in this era; the planting conditions for cocoa cashews are relatively harsh, but corn, peppers, tomatoes, potatoes, sweet potatoes, cassava and so on have gradually been promoted in Tunzhuang from Liangling to Jinghu.

Other tobacco, pineapple, papaya, beans, guava, chaucus, zucchini, sunflower, etc. have also reached a certain scale of cultivation; especially the production of tobacco, in addition to a small number of medical uses in the army, is almost one of the flagship products exported by Canton.

Although most of the cash crops inevitably have some degradation and yield reductions caused by the inability to adapt to the environment, they are still of great value to this era; they have greatly enriched Zhou Huaian's quality of life as a foodie.

For example, domestic experts have once used to rely on purely manual labor for water and electricity, under pure natural, pollution-free and green environmental protection conditions, and have specially tailored a variety of transitional experimental plans that have significantly improved output and quality of life, and some of them have achieved considerable results.

The simplest one is to clean up the silt dug out of the river to fertilize the fields, mix the green manure after fermentation such as rice stems, grass leaves and human and animal manure, and even directly use it to breed seedlings; while sand and pebbles can be used to pave roads and repair walls.

More complicated things are the reuse of the residue (waste molasses) after malt, beets and sugarcane after multiple extractions, such as processing of adult food or animal feed, which can also be used as raw materials for the fermentation industry.

For example, it is used as the substrate or base material for fermented products such as yeast, MSG, and organic acids. The most common method is the process used to brew soju, which is also the main source of rum in later generations; it has even become a culture medium for breeding of some edible fungi, or a nutrient for breeding of laboratory bacteria like agar.

At least the awareness of improving productivity and improving one's own situation in this generation will not be more inferior and worse than those in later generations who have been hovering between collecting and hunting to limited farming and animal husbandry for a long time.

For example, this time, the steel production capacity explosion from Liangling and Hunan, or the series of follow-up problems brought about by the explosion of military products production.

The reason is also very simple. After years of continuous investment in manpower and material resources and continuous accumulation of technology, as the foundation and accumulation of the initial steel and coal chemical industry, a new critical point has also been reached here.

However, the market size and demand for iron products sold to the outside world have reached a relative saturation point and bottleneck; therefore, after the rise and stop, a relatively large amount of gluten was generated.

Therefore, the production and allocation department in the rear, including the Guangzhou Liusi, transferred these steel production capacity to the military production field in accordance with one of the prior plans and plans;

So after several months of combat preparation, mobilization and conquest, a considerable or sufficient amount of equipment has been accumulated. Of course, most of them are standard equipment such as traditional swords and armor.

As for firearms, the production of high-end and special materials with higher strength for guns and cannons is still limited, and there is no major improvement or change. It is just that there are more sources of material, and the cost of components other than the tube is also significantly reduced.

Then, Zhou Huaian began to face a new choice. Because after conquering Jiangdong, he also seized a large number of artifacts, armor and equipment from Jiangdong, Zhejiang and even the Huainan army; when cleaning up the remaining forces in the local area, he seized more chaotic weapons and weapons.

And when the two strokes add up, let alone replenish the current loss of armored equipment of the Taiping Army, it would be fine if it would be armed with another 100,000 army or one or two large battles;

However, Zhou Huaian's next plan was to further streamline the recruitment and recruit new troops in Jiangdong after pacifying the three prefectures in southern Zhejiang, and then settle and resettle those discharged personnel in another place so that the local area can get more room for rest and recuperation.

Therefore, the output of these military industries is about to explode. According to these numbers, even if we use them to arm the second and third-tier garrisons, patrol teams, Jiansheng Army, and armed reclamation teams, and everyone wearing armor, swords, spears, bows and arrows, there is still a lot of remaining.

Therefore, it is time to traditionally provide large amounts of assistance/dumping friendly and allied forces. Although after providing a large amount of these things to the rebel forces in the north, it is very likely that because of their different quality, they "transport" these equipment to the imperial government army, vassal states, and even other forces.

However, the Taiping Army is already working hard and steadily on the correct development process and path of sergeant development with firearm war as the core; therefore, even if the hostile camp in the north receives more bonuses that have developed to the extreme cold weapons and equipment, it cannot change the glorious historical trend that will be beaten.

With this kind of thought and consideration, Zhou Huaian once again came to the North's messenger as expected.

——I am the dividing line of unconformity—

And under the city of Liyang, which had been restored, the soldiers of the Xiaoxiong Army under Yu Gongchu were also happily cleaning the battlefield and clearing the harvest.

At least compared to the Taiping thief strongholds in Jiangdong that fought to the end, the Huaixi thieves here are much weaker and more chaotic. Although it seems very fierce when they are hungry when they are hungry, once they are arranged, they will be difficult to last, and they will collapse after a fight.

Therefore, after several victories against him, the Xiaoxiong Army not only seized a lot of food and clothing to make up for the baggage, but also gradually recovered from the morale, which was originally a bit weak and sluggish.
