The difference between Fenglan Town and Qingshan Town is not big, and it can even be said that it is two small towns carved out of one mold.

They are all located in hilly areas, but there are small plains around the town that are suitable for large-scale development of agriculture, so agriculture as a whole is not very good, because it is not a transportation artery, so the business is also quite backward, not to mention the industry, there are only a few small workshops.

Walking in the town of Fenglan Town, the scene Lin Ziran saw was actually no different from Qingshan Town a few months ago.

Why is it Qingshan Town a few months ago, naturally because in the past few months, Lin Ziran tossed out oil in Qingshan Town.

Even if the current oil production is still relatively small and is still in the stage of development, it has also driven the development of the local economy.

Some time ago, Lin Ziran merged the three subordinate firms of Tsingshan Oilfield, Tsingshan Refinery and Tsingshan Commercial Bank, and although the above three were still independent of each other, a Tsingshan Petroleum Company was created to coordinate and manage and coordinate the development of many businesses.

At present, Tsingshan Petroleum has more than 400 permanent employees, not counting the many temporary employees.

If temporary part-time workers are included, the number will reach more than 600.

However, there were only a few people in Qingshan City before, but there were only a few thousand people.

The extra 600 people are enough to make a huge difference.

Qingshan Town is showing signs of prosperity because of oil, but Fenglan Town is still the same, and you don't even see how the war has affected them here.

Even if a big war broke out in Chongguang City, which was more than thirty kilometers away to the north, it still had no impact on Fenglan Town.

This is the special feature of a remote place, and it is not a strategic place.

In peacetime, it is poor, but in wartime it is not very affected.

On the contrary, strategically important places or places with developed industries and agriculture will suffer greater strategic damage because they are watched by various feudal towns, such as Luohai County.

Recognized as the No. 1 county in Nanzhou, it has been a prosperous place since ancient times, but in the last two or three decades, it has also suffered the most war damage, and there will be a war almost every few years.

This can be seen from the fact that the county guard of Luohai County has changed three people for ten years.

Lin Ziran was very satisfied with the situation in Fenglan Town, it was better to be remote, not a strategic route, because it meant that it was even more unlikely that the Guang'an rebels would come to Fenglan Town.

Being able to complete this task without fighting, Lin Ziran is still very satisfied.

So in the more than ten days he arrived in Fenglan Town, Lin Ziran lived a very leisurely life, routinely inspecting the construction of urban defense facilities every day, and the rest of the time was to continue training troops.

But this leisurely continued for half a month, but it was interrupted.

In late January, Jian Liangzhi suddenly sent a herald, saying that a group of about 500 Guang'an rebels had been driven to the southeast by the purging forces.

If this Guang'an rebel army continues to flee to the southeast, then it will enter the territory of Fenglan Town, Jian Liangzhi asked Lin Ziran to prepare in advance, once these five hundred Guang'an rebels enter the vicinity of Fenglan Town, they will lead the army to drag this Guang'an rebel army, and buy time for the main force of the Qing Dynasty led by Jian Liangzhi to catch up.

The Guang'an rebels are coming?

That's a big deal!

Luo Mazi said worriedly: "My lord, what can I do about this!" ”

Even Wu Dajiang, an honest man, frowned: "If we stick to Fenglan Town, we can still rely on the city wall to block it, but if we want to delay the pace of these Guang'an rebels, I'm afraid we will have to take the initiative to attack!" ”

Lu Sanzhen nodded continuously on the side: "That's it, if you take the initiative to attack, you will have to fight with them in the wild, I'm afraid it will be difficult to fight at that time!" ”

Not to mention that his subordinates are worried, even Lin Ziran himself is a little worried.

His family knows his own affairs, what kind of goods is his Qingshan Patrol Battalion, can he still not know?

After several months of continuous recruitment, although his Qingshan Patrol Battalion has nearly 1,000 people, half of the remaining Qingshan Town are all recruits who only train about one.

Even the three companies, cavalry platoon, and artillery platoon he brought to Fenglan Town had only been trained for two or three months.

Two or three months of training, even if it is the most rigorous training in the regular army, at most it is barely qualified, but the Qingshan Patrol Battalion is not a regular army, and the huge Qingshan Patrol Battalion actually does not have even a qualified officer.

Several of the leading officers under him were either bandits or peasants a few months ago.

These people cannot be expected to be able to train the troops quickly.

Therefore, even the five or six hundred people personally led by Lin Ziran now have a very low basic quality, and they can only do the most basic loading and shooting, and then carry out the most basic formation.

As for the higher-order stuff, don't count on that.

Such a unit, relying on the range advantage of fortifications and Mini rifles, is barely okay to carry out defensive operations, but it is not good to take the initiative to run out and fight the Guang'an rebels.

But if you don't attack in Fenglan Town at a fast pace, it will not be easy to explain to Jian Liangzhi afterwards.

Although Lin Ziran himself has not seen a figure of the Guang'an rebels for most of the past half a month, he learned from the news reported that Jian Liangzhi and the main force of the clearing force can be said to have crossed the mountains and crossed the mountains and tossed for more than half a month.

This finally drove more than 500 Guang'an rebels to the southeast, and almost formed an encirclement situation, if Lin Ziran dropped the chain for him at this time, it is estimated that Jian Liangzhi will go crazy.

A young secretary from a family who occupies an important position in Luo'an County, led two cavalry regiments and an infantry regiment, and was responsible for the task of clearing the rear and clearing the logistics line.

The negative impact is not comparable to Zhu Zhenshou, who died of overwork, and Li Xiancheng behind him.

Maybe they will directly bring thousands of cavalry to kill them, and then cut Lin Ziran with a knife.

It's not feasible to shrink down, it's too easy to get real.

But it would be even more stupid to run directly in front of the Guang'an rebels, and then fight a battle in the field.

Lin Ziran flipped through the command documents, and finally landed his eyes on two of the words: drag.

At the same time, the fingers began to habitually tap on the armrest, making a rhythmic thumping sound.

When everyone saw Lin Ziran's appearance, they knew that their adults were thinking about the problem, and they all immediately closed their mouths.

Every time Lin Ziran thinks about a problem, he will habitually tap the handrail with his fingers, and anyone who knows Lin Ziran a little knows his habit, if he talks nonsense and disturbs Lin Ziran at this time, Lin Ziran will not give people a good look.

After a while, Lin Ziran's fingers stopped tapping on the handrail, and everyone only heard Lin Ziran say: "This attack still has to go out, but the way has to be changed!" ”
