Fa Dali walked between the river and water towns with Jiangnan characteristics, and felt that there was a certain restless atmosphere and blind optimism everywhere; all kinds of armed forces entrenched in villages and towns were like carnival in the houses of wealthy families and wealthy families;

The streets and alleys are filled with all kinds of people with short-sized clothes and short hips, surrounding the stolen houses and objects, eating, drinking, and having fun, or taking turns to cruel the women who were arrogant and would not look at them at first.

This impetuous atmosphere reached a peak and climax as he passed through the prefectures and counties all the way to the location of the Dayun Cultivation Headquarters.

Several teams of advocacy and honor guards, who were competing and competing in various ways, were loudly clamoring and arguing at the city gate for the order of entry; and the fonts on the flags were also the "Prince XX", "Taiwei XX", "Pu She" who were so scared...

And in Xuzhou City, I am also promulgating some winter orders.

This includes the plan to rename the Qingzhou Guard and Challenge Army, which has expanded to more than forty battalions, and upgrade it to the Huaidong Guard and Challenge Army;

The original left and right wings are divided into four front, back, left and right wings, each leading ten battalions to prepare for war zones in the east, west, south and north directions; the rest are the mobile troops and field soldiers in the hands of the guards and regiments.

After such a round of preparation, new equipment will be short of new equipment, and the old equipment replaced by the original main battle camp and the front-sized defense camp will be temporarily used.

In addition, the Yaqian soldiers, Yajun and Yuhou soldiers, which were directly under the order of the ranks, were also expanded and strengthened; among them, the teaching brigade expanded from 1,000 to 1,500, and the model battalion expanded to the first, second and third model battalion, and the direct operation was split and expanded from the city to the left and right;

If the other special forces are expanded into artillery battalions, the heavy-loaded chariot regiment will be expanded into heavy-loaded chariot regiments; and in addition to the four cavalry battalions and five hunting cavalry battalions, due to the relatively sufficient number of war horses, three battalions each of the auxiliary cavalry and cavalry infantry were added, but the organization rate is only about 60 to 80%, and further training and supplementation is needed.

On the contrary, the equipment and expansion of the combat engineering battalion is the simplest. After directly selecting and assessing from tens of thousands of Jiansheng Army, it can be easily organized into the scale of five battalions.

In addition to the auxiliary staffing, my direct force has also vaguely exceeded 10,000. On the contrary, the court can provide food, salary and fees for the court, but only three battalions, and it is a physical item that is distilled.

In the main battle order, although there are no major changes in the organization of more than 40 battalions, the mule-horse transformation has been further strengthened, that is, the training of riding infantry; at least the first five to six battalions of each order have been ensured, and the allocation of mule-horse vehicles that ride mobile has been basically realized.

Among them, half of the battalions and regiments have basically achieved the matching of artillery teams, although they are all light cannons and shotgun cannons used in field battles, or they are simply three-type rotor large guns.

Only seven battalions that were newly established in the Model Back Army were newly joined, and currently they still use light troops mainly using firearms, with only about 80% of the equipment rate, and the others can only use cold weapons such as swords, guns, bows and crossbows.

So invisibly, in addition to the semi-finalized garrison regiment, the various military forces under Huaizhen have barely exceeded the 100,000 mark. They have once again reached the limit of three or four households to support one soldier.

In addition, I just ordered the establishment of a daily institution under the Liuhou Mansion, the Fantai Department, which specializes in managing various vassal soldiers. With Luo Piaoqi and Wu Jie as the chief and deputy chief officials, I will effectively manage and control more than a dozen vassal soldiers from various backgrounds and belongings from several major regions of Huai Town from various regions, from logistics supply, personnel and equipment, training and internal affairs.

The specific daily military service and wartime tasks are organized and assigned by local prefecture-level defense envoys, regiment training envoys, and even front-line military envoys or chief supervisors.

In this way, the needs and guarantees of more than 100,000 people are further expanded.

Fortunately, the resources for supporting these vassal soldiers were mainly provided by the vassal families protected by Huai Town, and then the transfer offices were managed and allocated uniformly to maximize their effectiveness.

However, the corresponding training and maintenance costs are really impossible to save. Even if the second-hand arborist is used to seize and eliminate, the corresponding renovation and repair costs will be accumulated.

In addition to the more than one million normal registered population that have been resettled, there are probably more than one hundred thousand free labor under mandatory supervision, which are flooded in various heavy and dangerous places and positions, which can provide long-term exploitation and exploitation;

There are also a considerable number of refugees in quarantine camps or escort areas who create labor value with a very low demand level; in addition, a considerable number of enclaves and local people can suck blood in disguise; thus, the most basic living standards on the market are exchanged for and maintained with the six Huaidong prefectures as the core standard.

In addition, the losses and pensions of the navy from the two routes of the south, the recruitment and training of subsequent personnel, the increased maintenance costs due to the expansion of staffing, and the investment required to create new ships and their various supporting facilities;

Although the large number of inputs collected from the south of Yizhou looked like many, after determining the purpose and direction, it seemed like a sponge absorbing water in the blink of an eye. It had been assigned and diverted without much remaining.

Although there is still a large number of gold and silver available on the books, it is a basic margin and credit basis for the establishment of an economic system and currency circulation cycle.

Therefore, by the spring of the next year, I will still have to find a way to use troops from abroad, and convert the remaining food and supplies into land, population and other possible resources through war activities, and further digest it into Huaizhen, which can use freely productivity and mobilization system.

The best candidate at the moment is to take advantage of the opportunity of Liu Yanqing leading the team to stay in Jiangbei to develop and utilize Chuzhou and other places on the south bank of the Huai River;

The so-called rich soil of the two Huai Rivers with fish salt paste, thousands of miles of fertile fields, Huaibei and Huainan are indispensable parts; even if the Chuzhou along the river is restored, it can produce immediate results;

After all, there is a Huainan camp here to attract refugees and use the ready-made foundation for tens of thousands of military and civilians to reclaim the farming system. In addition to the shortage of materials, even the battalion's defense warehouse and other public facilities are ready-made. As long as there is a little restoration and rest, spring plowing can be carried out in the coming year.

What is more troublesome is the local supporting water conservancy projects. The most important task at present is to re-repair and strengthen the damaged banks caused by the flooding of the Huai River a few years ago in the winter. On this basis, the canals that were washed away by the flooding of the flood were re-drawn and connected.

This is not a simple project, it involves a large water system connecting north and south, crossing east and west, local governance and long-term planning project; it is also a great challenge and adventure for Huaibei Road under my rule.

After all, after the project volume and operating scope reach a certain level in Chengdu, it is no longer a simple accumulation of labor and equipment, and can easily solve the problem. A comprehensive and overall planning, systematic arrangement and preparation, as well as long-term deduction and calculation, and persistence without much deviation to ensure the ultimate ideal effect.

You should know that the first large-scale water conservancy project in New China in later generations was to manage the Huai River. More than 2.6 million migrant workers gathered in the Huai River, and 16,000 water conservancy experts and scientific research and technical personnel. It took the third phase of the project to basically achieve the goal of taming the Huai River.

Although the environment and foundation I need to face in front of me are not that bad, neither have the diverted way through the Yellow River to seize the Huai River like the sea nor have the rampant trajectory of some brainless people in power breaking the dam and letting water out of water in the past dynasties, the resources in my hands are relatively limited.

However, as the saying goes, you can eat rice bite by bite, and things can be done one by one according to priorities. At present, in winter, the land inland on the opposite bank of the Huai River and that has not yet been affected by the Huai River has been reclaimed and established, and then the main canal roads in Huainan will be connected.

In this way, you can use vehicles and ships to travel deep into Huainan to transport materials and personnel, and even transport troops and grain and maintain logistics, meet other military maneuvers, and strengthen the connection and control between the north and south of the Huaihe River.

The only thing I need to worry about is that interference from the external environment and damage to unexpected factors will lead to such a long-term and phased project, which will result in half the effort or failure. This will be a bit more than worth the effort.

Therefore, it is necessary for Liu Yanqing, who is stationed in Jiangbei, to carry out a new round of crackdown and deterrent winter training activities on Huainan Road Eyeline.
