Originally, Luo'an County could only be regarded as average in Nanhai Prefecture, with average agriculture and average industry and commerce, and Lianguan County was at the bottom of Luo'an County, so Lianguan County was a poor county in the entire Nanhai Prefecture.

But this poverty is only relative, if it is placed elsewhere on the Blue Star, even Guan County is a proper high-class county.

In addition to agriculture, there are actually many factories in Lianguan County, although they are all low-tech processing plants, but there are also a few good enterprises, not to mention that there is now a Tsingshan Petroleum Company made by Lin Ziran, but the previous Tsingshan Petroleum Company did not pay taxes at all because of Lin Ziran.

If you don't count the Tsingshan Petroleum Company, even Guan County is more ruthless, and it can get hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.

It doesn't seem like a lot of money, but at least it can help Lin Ziran subsidize some of his military spending.

Expanding the army and raising the army to fight the war is too expensive.

In peacetime, raising an army is enough to spend money, not to mention the cost of expanding the army, and as for fighting, it is even greater, and if you fight a random battle, you will throw out tens of thousands or more.

I fought with the people of Guang'an in Nanguangcheng before, and the battle for a few days was dominated by artillery battles, and the ammunition that was played out made Lin Ziran feel extremely painful.

And Scar and Xu Zhongshu are responsible for garrisoning Lianguan County, not only to act as the southern defense line, but also to raise military supplies, which is also very stressful.

The two of them acted separately, and Xu Zhongshu, as the staff officer of the southbound detachment, naturally focused on the military aspect as the actual combat commander.

He and his officers began to deploy the southern defense line, and for the entire Lianguan County, the main communication route was the Luo River and the plains along the eastern coast of the Luo River.

As for the county seat of Lianguan County, although it seems to be surrounded by the Lianhe River on three sides, in fact, the geography is not so important, and it cannot assume the role of a strategic support point.

Therefore, the core area of the southern defense line deployed by Xu Zhongshu was on the north bank of the lower reaches of the Lian River, especially the north bank of the confluence of the Lian River and the Luo River.

This area was the focus of the defense, because if the troops of other feudal towns went north, they would either go north by boat or along the plain on the east bank of the Luo River.

They naturally can't defend such a big Luo River, they don't even have a steam ironclad ship, so Luo He is simply undefended.

The deployment of the southward detachment was mainly based on the plain on the east bank of the Luo River, especially with the Lianhe River as the moat, and the defense line was deployed on the north bank of the Lianhe River.

It's just that the number of troops is too small, and this southern defense line is mainly based on mobile defense, and if the enemy forces come too much, then at most they will block one or two slightly, so as to delay the pace of the enemy's advance and buy time for the maneuver and deployment of the main forces in the rear.

In this case, Xu Zhongshu did not build any large-scale stable fortifications on the north bank of the lower reaches of the Lianhe River, but only deployed a small number of troops at several key points, mainly for monitoring, and the second cavalry company and part of the main force were deployed in the middle of the defensive line.

As for Lianguan County, only one infantry company remained.

When Xu Zhongshu was engaged in arming, Scar was not idle, making money every day.

The main focus of the work in the early stage was to let Huang Feipeng and a group of other officials spit out the money they had obtained over the years of corruption and perversion of the law, and at the same time add some apportionment.

Huang Feipeng is a decent person and never suffers immediate losses!

So when Scar brought someone to arrest him that day, he was already convinced in less than ten minutes, and took the initiative to explain the location where the money was hidden.

After paying the money, Huang Feipeng showed his loyalty again, saying that he was willing to serve Lord Lin and so on, saying that he was familiar with the situation of other officials and gentry in Lianguan County, and even directly said that he knew very well how much money these people had, whose money was easier to get, and so on, hoping that Scar would give him a chance to help the army raise military expenses.

Let Scar feel that this person is still quite familiar, plus they are new to the city, although they have force to rely on, but they can't shout and kill, after all, they still have to maintain the dignity of Lord Lin, and they can't be too explicit.

Therefore, it is not suitable to directly arrest people and raid their homes, and some indirect means must be used.

If there is a snake to help, then things are much simpler.

So after Scar came into contact with Huang Feipeng, he didn't embarrass Huang Feipeng too much, and even made a gentleman's agreement with Huang Feipeng, allowing Huang Feipeng to get some private money in the process, which can be regarded as compensation for his hard work.

Huang Feipeng shouted the slogan loudly at that time, saying that he must be smeared with the liver and brain of Lord Lin and so on, and he began to work in a hurry that day.

But I thought that before dawn the next day, Scar got a report that Huang Feipeng was missing.

At this time, the sky was not completely cool, and Huang Feipeng was already standing on a flat boat, dressed in civilian robes, holding a folding fan, looking like a literate scholar with a breezy breeze.

Looking back at the boat and the boat boss behind him, Huang Feipeng poured himself a glass of rice wine, and his expression was beautiful.

Li Xiancheng, that stupid thing, is about to run away, and he is still on a steam passenger liner, that thing is noisy, and the speed is slow, and the key is not to leave as soon as possible.

And he, Huang Feipeng, casually found a canopy boat and went down the river, the speed was so fast that he had already entered the Luo River in one night.

And he is not like Li Xiancheng, in addition to carrying money, he also carries a lot of goods, as if he is moving.

However, he, Huang Feipeng, except for the cashier's checks of Nanzhou Bank in his arms, has nothing to lose, and he doesn't even bother to bring a change of clothes.

Although he lost a lot of cash, it was all outside his body, not to mention that he also kept the cashier's check, which is also tens of thousands, which is enough.

Huang Feipeng looked at it very openly, money is a thing, it should be fished, it should be thrown away, and the chic way to save his life is the most important thing.

As for the solicitation of Lin Ziran that Scar said, let him continue to be an official or something, be a fart, really don't have a temper when Lao Tzu is too big, take tens of thousands of Lao Tzu and still want Lao Tzu to sell your life, what kind of dreams do you have in broad daylight.

Now Huang Feipeng doesn't plan to be an official, he is going to the county town to enjoy a small life, and everything is left behind in Lianguan County and Luo'an County.

Looking at the wide Luo River, Huang Feipeng was in a good mood, and when he was about to recite a poem, he saw that the boat boss who looked like an honest man had already touched it with a sharp knife in his hand, with a fierce face: "Hehe, I see that you are a rich man, get acquainted, hand over the money quickly, otherwise it will ......."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Huang Feipeng directly take out a smoothbore revolver, without the slightest nonsense, and shoot cleanly!

After a gunshot, the boss of the boat was directly hit and fell into the river.

Huang Feipeng looked disdainful: "Hmph, don't talk nonsense next time you are a robber!" ”

It's just that when he looked at the empty canopy boat and the wide river, his expression showed a trace of worry: "There is no one to drive the boat, how to dock!" ”
