Chapter Forty-Six: Winter Failure

Qingshan Town Guard Mansion caught fire, Wang Zhenshou 'tragically died' in the fire, Lin Ziran took care of the aftermath in time, and temporarily replaced part of the affairs of the Town Guard Mansion, so as not to let Qingshan Town fall into a state of paralysis of government affairs.

However, the town guard mansion actually has nothing to do, and it is to deal with some trivial things on weekdays, Wang Jinkui and they were busy every day in the past, and that was purely because Wang Jinqian and they changed their methods every day to make money.

And in order to avoid suspicion, Lin Ziran naturally couldn't do anything like collecting taxes as a patrol camp officer.

Therefore, this part of the tax work can only be suspended.

And apart from the tax matter, there is no big deal in the town guard.

But this doesn't mean that Lin Ziran is not busy.

On the contrary, Lin Ziran has been very busy in the past two days, first of all, the most important thing is to collect the town guards, that is, the bandits that Wang Jinqian did not take away, so that they will not harm the townspeople and walk some bad rumors.

There is more than one person who knows that Lin Ziran is a fake, in fact, Wang Jinqian and basically everyone in their group know that Lin Ziran is an impostor.

Just like Lin Ziran and the others, not only Lin Ziran, but also Luo Mazi, Scar and the original hundreds of old bandits, in fact, all know that Wang Zhenshou is an impostor.

Although Wang Jinqian, the key person, ran away, Lin Ziran also took precautions and directly faked the illusion that Wang Jinqian was dead, but the others still had to be controlled in time.

In fact, after discovering that Wang Jinqian had escaped early two days ago, Lin Ziran's men and horses had already disarmed and controlled all the more than 40 subordinates that Wang Jinqian had not taken away.

Later, he was kept in the city gate barracks.

After preliminarily solving Wang Jinqian's case, Lin Ziran also freed up his hands to incorporate these people.

They are all bandits, they are not good people, and they are also people who know the details of Lin Ziran and their group, so naturally they can't be let go directly.

But it's not a matter to keep it locked up, Lin Ziran thought about seeing if he could take some of it in, and then integrate it into those old bandits led by Scar.

In the evening of the same day, Lin Ziran summoned Scar: "Scar, you go and take a look, see if they are willing to join us, and if they are willing, they will be together with the old brothers!" ”

Scar said, "No problem, I'll do it!" ”

"My lord, what if those people don't want to?"

Lin Ziran said: "Unwilling? ”

"If you want to, let them go to work in the oil field, build roads and dig ditches, Ding Zi has always said that there is a shortage of people!"

Scar nodded slightly: "The little one understands!" ”

Watching Scar turn around and leave, Lin Ziran stood up, walked out of the flower hall, and walked in the courtyard.

The grass in the courtyard is verdant and the trees are luxuriant, and there is no trace of the gloomy atmosphere that should be in winter.

Even though it was already early winter, Lin Ziran was still wearing thin long sleeves and didn't even have a coat.

Nanhai Prefecture is located in the southeast of the central continent, bordering Shayang Bay.

Shayang Bay is a semi-inland sea, and there is a huge peninsula jutting out to the south in the northeastern part of Shayang Bay.

The peninsula belongs to Dongdingzhou, which extends about 800 kilometers to the south.

In the southwest of Shayang Bay, there is a huge peninsula protruding to the east, which also belongs to the Ningyu Prefecture of the Daheng Dynasty.

The two peninsulas directly encased Shayang Bay, leaving only a narrow strait about 100 kilometers wide and tens of kilometers long leading to the wider endless sea outside.

Nanhai Prefecture, near Shayang Bay, has a typical subtropical climate, with rainy spring and summer, and cool but not cold autumn and winter.

It was cold for a few days some time ago, but after a few days, the sun was shining, which caused Lin Ziran to put on the woolen jacket for two days, but he had to change into thin long sleeves again.

This move is also an official announcement of the failure of Nanhai Prefecture in winter!

The still verdant courtyard and the warm sunshine made Lin Ziran almost unable to feel the chill of winter, and even he had a hunch that he might not be able to wear his thick woolen coat for a few days during the whole winter.

In the winter of Nanhai Prefecture, Lin Ziran likes it very much!

At least this winter, Lin Ziran doesn't have to worry about external threats for the time being.

Since last autumn, Luo'an County has begun the Northern Expedition to Guang'an County in the north, and it is rumored that in order to recover the lost territory of Guang'an, Luo'an County has dispatched more than 10 regiments, and the number of troops participating in the battle has reached more than 20,000.

In the first few months of the war, the Luo'an army, which seemed to have been defeated, retreated and seized a large part of the territory of Guang'an.

But even Lin Ziran in the rear knows that in fact, the front line is not optimistic.

Because in the past few months, except for the rapid progress of the Luo An Army at the beginning, they have been blocked outside Chongguang City in the following months!

Chongguang City, is the southern gateway of Guang'an, built on the bank of the Luo River, and the two banks of the Luo River is the Nanzi Mountain Range, which stretches for hundreds of kilometers, if you want to go north to the hinterland of Guang'an, you must conquer Chongguang City and open up the Luo River waterway, otherwise it is impossible for the army to cross the Nanzi Mountain Range.

However, now, the powerful Luo An Army has been blocked outside Chongguang City for a few months.

It is rumored that the front line has launched two general attacks in order to conquer Chongguang City, with thousands of casualties, but it is a pity that Chongguang City is still as stable as Mount Tai so far.

Luo Anjun was blocked on the front line, and on the surface, it seemed to have nothing to do with Lin Ziran, but in fact it had something to do with Lin Ziran.

Because as long as the external war continues, then the high-level officials of Luo'an County will focus on the external war affairs, and it is estimated that they will not have the leisure to pay attention to the changes in the next remote town.

This gave Lin Ziran time to develop calmly!

And time is very important to Lin Ziran now.

According to his plan, the first three months or even half a year are crucial, as long as he survives these six months, after he has initially pulled up the troops.

When the time comes, Lao Tzu has soldiers and guns, what can you do with me?

At that time, Lin Ziran didn't have to worry much about Luo Anjun turning against him and snatching the interests of the oil field.

If Luo Anjun dared to turn his face with him Lin Ziran, he would dare to directly throw himself into the Guang'an Army to join forces inside and outside, and directly cut off the logistics supply line to Luo'an County in the north.

He Lin Ziran wanted to see if the Luo An army, which had been cut off from the logistics supply line, could withstand the counterattack of the Guang'an army!

But in the early stage of all this, he was able to pull the team up smoothly.

And this takes money, it takes time!

Money, oil fields provide a steady stream of energy.

And time is up to you.

Solving the problem of Wang Jinqian's escape is to buy time, and dealing with the bandits left behind by Wang Jinqian is also to buy time.

Scar reported the matter the next day: "My lord, after persuasion and selection, a total of twenty-six people are willing to join us, and another eighteen people are unwilling, and my subordinates have already asked people to take them to the oil field!" ”

Lin Ziran said: "This matter is good, these new joiners, let them mix with our old brothers!" ”

"I plan to combine these old brothers and the newly recruited more than 20 people into a chaser company, and you can take care of this company first!"

"Also, you also know that our situation is different from before, so you have to strictly rectify this hunting company, you go to Wu Dajiang to ask for the training regulations of the patrol battalion, and everything follows the training regulations of the patrol battalion. Be sure to erase the loose nature of the past to Lao Tzu! ”

Scar's face was embarrassed when he heard this: "My lord, I'm afraid this is a bit ...... Those brothers are used to being casual, if this is trained according to the patrol battalion, it will make trouble! ”

Lin Ziran listened and looked at him, did not speak, and the five fingers of his right hand kept tapping on the armrest of the chair, making a crisp tapping sound.

After a pause of seven or eight seconds, Lin Ziran said, "Do you need me to teach you?" ”

Scar raised his head slightly and then quickly bowed his head and said, "Don't worry, the little one knows what to do!" ”

Lin Ziran hummed softly: "Go!" ”
