June 28, the 49th year of Yongchang, was an ordinary day for most Daheng people.
It is neither the emperor's birthday nor a traditional festival.
This day is an extremely ordinary day for most people in Daheng, but for some people in Sanyang Town, this day is an extraordinary day.
In the guard house, Sanyang Town guard Yan Qiyue kept circling in the hall, which made several of his subordinates almost dizzy. However, even so, their subordinates did not say a word.
Because they can also understand the difficulty of guarding everyone at home.
This morning, they received a military order saying that in order to guard the strategic security of the rear, to guard against attacks by Guang'an rebels, and to protect logistics channels, the 3rd Division's Supplementary Brigade would send troops to stay at Sanyang Ferry.
It would be fine if this was just an ordinary military order, but this is not it.
Many people will have a doubt when they see this document!
Third Division Replenishment Brigade? What the hell is this!
But when they saw the final signature of the military order, they soon understood.
Because the signature of this military order is Lin Ziran, the commander of the 3rd Division's Supplementary Brigade.
Lin Ziran, this person is very familiar to everyone, he is the battalion officer of the patrol camp in Qingshan Town next door, and he is also the boss of Qingshan Oil Company. He wants money, people, and guns.
Since the brigade commander is Lin Ziran, it is easy to understand that the supplementary brigade of the third division must be the original Qingshan Patrol Battalion.
But the question is, how did Lin Ziran become the brigade commander, and how did the Qingshan Patrol Battalion become the third division's supplementary brigade?
Moreover, why did Lin Ziran suddenly come to Sanyang Town with his troops?
They haven't offended him, and they have cooperated quite well in recent months. Why did he suddenly bring troops here?
Although it is said that Sanyang Town had conflicts with Lin Ziran of Qingshan Town during the time of Zhu Zhenzhen, but that is all in the past. The current Sanyang Town guard Yan Qiyue has a close relationship with Zhou Li of Hongxiang Trading Company, so he is naturally involved.
of kerosene trade.
In the past six months, Qingshan Town's kerosene has been continuously transported through Sanyang Ferry, and Yan Qiyue's contribution is indispensable for this.
To put it bluntly, both sides are actually on the same interest front.
But today, Lin Ziran suddenly led his troops to attack, saying that he was guarding the rear, guarding the back line, etc., but Yan Qiyue felt something strange.
Sanyang Ferry is very important, but it is not to the extent that it has become a traffic artery. Even during the previous war at Chongguang City and the Guang'an rebels frequently attacked Luo'an Army's supply lines, there was never any regular army garrison at Sanyang Ferry.
.
Why?
Because there is no need!
This place seems to be an important transportation thoroughfare, but in fact, the Sanyang Ferry side is not an important river, and there are no forts, fortresses, etc. Even if you want to block the Luo River, there are them both upstream and downstream.
A more suitable place.
At the same time, although the eastern area of Sanyang Town is a hilly area, Sanyang Town and the surrounding areas are all gentle hills and plains, belonging to the Luo River impact plain terrain.
what does that mean?
This means that even if the enemy controls the Sanyang Town ferry, it will be useless.
The open terrain of Sanyang Town, coupled with its geographical location, determines that this poor place cannot become a strategic waistline!
It is just a very ordinary town along the Luo River, with a small inland river terminal, shops, and a permanent population of only 2,000 people.
So Lin Ziran said that he wanted to station the point guard in Sanyang Town. This is a very nonsense excuse.
If he really wants to control the logistics, Lin Ziran should lead his troops north along the Luo River for about 20 kilometers to Nanguang City. That is the real strategic location and the only area that the baggage must pass through on its way north.
Yan Qiyue didn't believe that Lin Ziran really came to the point guard back line, but why did Lin Ziran come to Sanyang Town?
He also thought of several possibilities. For example, Lin Ziran, who was named the point guard in the back line, actually wanted to occupy the expansion territory of Sanyang Town.
But he was not sure about this either.
Because in his opinion, this kind of thing is almost the way to die for Lin Ziran.
Although there are many local militia groups in Luo'an County, they are suppressed by a county guard like Cheng Lingfeng and tens of thousands of regular troops. Many local militia groups are just militia groups, and most of them are formed by the local government.
These local militia groups usually suppress bandits and maintain public order.
But few people dare to rely on these local militias to establish themselves as kings or even expand their territory.
Although the Qingshan Patrol Camp has more people and more guns and guns, in Yan Qiyue's view, the Qingshan Patrol Camp is still just a local militia group.
If Lin Ziran dares to lead the Qingshan Patrol Battalion to carry out vassal affairs and attack surrounding areas to expand territory, Luo An's regular army will make Lin Ziran know what it feels like to be defeated like a mountain in a matter of minutes.
While Yan Qiyue was brooding and thinking hard, Zhou Li also quickly walked into the governor's mansion!
As soon as he came in, he asked: "Why are you calling me so urgently? We were just negotiating with a few trading companies. If the negotiation is successful, we can also negotiate kerosene sales channels for several companies without further ado."
Yan Qiyue showed a sad face: "Lin Ziran has led his troops to kill us!"
Zhou Li looked surprised after hearing this: "What's going on? Is there something wrong with the business? Lin Ziran is dissatisfied?"
"But Lin Ziran is a calm person. Even if there is any misunderstanding, he won't lead his troops to kill him immediately, right?"
Yan Qiyue said: "It's not a business matter. Our kerosene business has always been smooth without any mistakes. Moreover, their Qingshan Petroleum Company's business in our Sanyang Town is better than what they do in Qingshan Town."
It’s even more convenient for business!”
Zhou Li was speechless: "Then why? Could it be that you offended him?"
Yan Qiyue said: "No, except for business, I basically have no contact with him!"
With that said, he took out Lin Ziran's letter and handed it to Zhou Lidao: "Look, they are talking about adjusting the defense and point guard back line!"
Zhou Li took a brief look, and then frowned: "Even if he went to Feng Haozhong and took the name of the regular army's point guard and back line, but went to Sanyang Town to point guard and back line? Lin Ziran's brain
broken?"
Yan Qiyue thought the same: "That's right, our Sanyang Town is not a traffic artery at all, let alone a strategic location. From last year to now, not even a single Guang'an rebel has been seen!"
When the two of them were confused, someone suddenly came to report from outside.
"Sir, there are two waves of cavalry coming from the north of our town!"
"Moreover, they started fighting outside the town..."
