"This lunatic!" This was Jian Liangzhi's first reaction!
In his opinion, even if the kerosene business is very important, Lin Ziran will not lead an army of 1,800 people and directly put on a fighting posture!
What should I say? If you have something to say, you can talk it over carefully. You, Lin Ziran, want to do business, and I, Jian Liangzhi, am not an unreasonable person. You can send someone to discuss it. I can definitely open a transportation channel for Qingshan Petroleum Company.
Lift the blockade of warehouses and docks on the outskirts of the city.
As for a big war, just bring the army directly.
You, Lin Ziran, just say it nicely and come here directly with the army. People who don’t know this think that you, Lin Ziran, want to interfere in the war between our Jian family and the Cheng family.
In Jian Liangzhi's opinion, Lin Ziran didn't have to do anything so extreme!
But thinking like this, he had completely forgotten that a few days ago, it was the docks on the outskirts of the city that he sent troops to blockade. People from Qingshan Oil Company also came to him and asked him to be accommodating, allowing him to open the docks on the outskirts of the city for kerosene loading and shipping.
But Jian Liangzhi didn't even meet the person in person, so he just asked his subordinates to reject him.
There's a war going on here, you businessmen, please don't get involved.
Cheng Hongbin on the other side also saw this scene, and he was equally surprised.
"This Lin Ziran is even more brainless than I expected!"
"Even if he has to lead troops to escort him, there is no need to directly assume a combat formation. Who is he showing off by doing this?"
"But Lin Ziran actually attaches great importance to this kerosene business. It seems that the profits of this kerosene business are greater than expected. If there is an opportunity in the future, we still have to control this oil company!"
Cheng Hongbin and Jian Liangzhi were surprised and dissatisfied with Lin Ziran's behavior in the suburbs.
They all thought Lin Ziran had gone too far.
When you do business, you do business, and when you lead troops to escort, you lead troops to escort. But you set up a combat formation and the artillery is aimed at Sanyang Town. What does this mean?
Is this a threat?
Well, that's the threat!
Both Jian Liangzhi and Cheng Hongbin actually underestimated the importance of the kerosene business to Lin Ziran.
Lin Ziran wanted to raise and expand the army, and he relied on the kerosene business. Jian Liangzhi and Cheng Hongbin fought to death in Sanyang Town, which led to the kerosene business being cut off, which had a great impact on Lin Ziran.
Otherwise, Lin Ziran would not have such an extreme reaction.
"Sir, if we put on a show like this, won't we offend them?" Luo Mazi was still a little worried. Whether it was the Cheng family or the Jian family, their reputations in Luo'an County were too great.
Cheng Hongbin and Jian Liangzhi in the front are both direct descendants of their respective families, and they are also leaders among the second generation descendants. Such big shots have to look up to them in daily life.
But now, my lord led his troops and set up a posture directly outside Sanyang Town, as if he would fight if they were not obeyed.
This makes Luo Mazi a little worried!
Lin Ziran was riding on the horse and looked at Sanyang Town in the distance. At this time, his face was calm: "Don't worry, they are not ordinary people. They will not care about things like us ordinary people!"
Lin Ziran brought an army to fight here today. Naturally, it was not a decision made on the spur of the moment. He had also considered it.
First of all, the kerosene business must continue, and if you want to continue the kerosene business, you must let Cheng Hongbin and Jian Liangzhi know their strength, otherwise they will not pay attention to Qingshan Oil Company at all.
Secondly, assuming a combat posture does not mean that he will attack both parties. He has no intention of entering Sanyang Town. He is only stationed a few hundred meters outside the town to control the transportation of the docks at the warehouses on the outskirts of the city.
It's just a channel.
Once again, the 1,800-strong army was enough for Cheng Hongbin and Jian Liangzhi to clearly understand their own strength.
This strength is enough to affect the outcome between the Sixth Brigade and the Temporary Brigade, and he can directly decide who can be allowed to leave Sanyang Town alive.
The victory or defeat of the Sixth Brigade and the Temporary Brigade will, to a certain extent, affect the battle in the county and the victory or defeat between the Jian family and the Cheng family.
Others may not be able to see this, but Cheng Hongbin and Jian Liangzhi can definitely see it.
And these two people are not just generals, nor are they just officials. Strictly speaking, they are politicians, or you can add a prefix, that is, military politicians.
Such people think about things from a different perspective than ordinary generals or officials.
Dealing with such people is actually safer than dealing with generals like Feng Haozhong.
Because they will have too many worries.
Lin Ziran can say with certainty that no matter what Jian Liangzhi and Cheng Hongbin think in their hearts, at this time, they must focus on winning over themselves.
The facts also proved Lin Ziran's guess. Jian Liangzhi first sent someone over. He didn't say too much nonsense, but simply said hello. At the same time, he also hinted to Lin Ziran that he should guard the dock and be taken away by the people of the Sixth Brigade.
pier, and then escaped by boat.
Lin Ziran said in this regard, I am just here for business, and the suburban warehouse terminal is only used to load oil, and there will be no other changes.
Not long after, Cheng Hongbin also sent someone to say that he wanted to try to borrow the dock, but Lin Ziran refused directly. Of course, he also said that he was in trouble.
In short, in the end, the three parties all stayed in Sanyang Town with a tacit understanding.
The Sixth Brigade and the Temporary Brigade continued to face off, and occasionally there were small-scale battles.
Lin Ziran's supplementary brigade deployed defenses around the warehouse piers on the outskirts of the city and did not enter Sanyang Town, let alone interfere with the battle between the Sixth Brigade and the temporary brigade.
Even the request from both sides to purchase some ammunition was directly rejected by Lin Ziran, saying that his own ammunition was also in short supply.
In short, no matter what these two parties say, Lin Ziran has made up his mind and cannot interfere in the battle between the Cheng family and the Jian family now.
He may intervene in the future, but for now, he plans to follow Feng Haozhong's lead, strictly maintain neutrality, and wait and see what happens.
Even if several powerful military generals in Luo An's army did not take a stand, Lin Ziran would not intervene.
Now it's a battle between the big guys in Luo'an County. If he intervenes too early, he could easily get burned.
Lin Ziran made it clear that his posture must be neutral, and he must be armed and neutral.
After some testing, Cheng Hongbin and Jian Liangzhi confirmed Lin Ziran's attitude, then ignored Lin Ziran and continued the battle between them.
In the afternoon of that day, the Sixth Brigade and the Temporary Brigade resumed fighting. Guns and artillery sounded frequently, and the battle was extremely fierce. The soldiers of both sides fought against each other without fear of death, which shocked Lin Ziran.
But Wu Guanlin on the other side showed disdain: "This battle was too rigid!"
Luo Mazi also echoed: "That's right, I just rushed forward foolishly. If it were me, I would have retreated long ago!"
