After Wu Dajiang was mentioned by Lin Ziran, he now serves as the company commander of the third musketry company, holds the rank of sergeant, and is also responsible for recruiting troops and other tasks.
For him, who is just an honest farmer, such an opportunity in life can be said to be rare.
He knew very well that what he had today was entirely given to him by Mr. Lin, the battalion officer.
Even he himself couldn't figure out why Mr. Lin used him so highly, but this made him full of gratitude to Lin Ziran, and he usually obeyed Lin Ziran's instructions when doing things.
This time I came to the village in Sanyang Town to recruit soldiers because of Lin Ziran's orders.
But he originally thought it was just an ordinary recruitment task, but he didn't expect that something unexpected happened.
Seeing more than thirty people in military uniforms in front of him, Wu Dajiang suppressed the doubts in his heart. After asking, he found that these people were still members of the Sanyang Town Guards.
The reason why these people stopped him was because they thought they, the people from the patrol camp of Qingshan Town, had crossed the line.
To say that the Qingshan Town patrol camp cannot come to Sanyang Town is to cross the line.
And you can't recruit soldiers. These people are from Sanyang Town. If you people from Qingshan Town come to recruit soldiers, it is equivalent to taking away their youth.
If the young people are taken away, who will farm the fields? Who will pay the taxes?
After hearing this, Wu Dajiang couldn't make a decision for a while.
Give up recruiting soldiers in despair and then leave?
Of course this is not possible.
It would not be appropriate to directly rebel against him. After all, he is only a company commander and is not qualified to represent the Qingshan Town patrol battalion and Sanyo Town to rebel against him.
Immediately, on the one hand, he ordered the more than ten soldiers he brought to be on guard with guns, and on the other hand, he also sent people on fast horses to notify Lin Ziran.
This matter has exceeded the scope of his authority, and the battalion officer must be notified immediately so that he can make a decision.
A few hours later, Lin Ziran in Qingshan Town received the news.
"People from Sanyang Town stopped Wu Dajiang and the others?" Lin Ziran frowned immediately after hearing the news.
Scar on one side was extremely indignant: "They are so brave. They dare to stop our people. They dare not take you seriously. It is a heinous crime. I suggest you send troops immediately to give those Sanyo
The town’s people are very good-looking!”
On the other hand, Luo Mazi said: "Sir, I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to solve. Logically speaking, our Qingshan Town Patrol Battalion is only responsible for the defense of Qingshan Town and cannot go to Sanyang Town!"
"Besides, Sanyang Town is a big town in our county. If this conflict occurs rashly, I'm afraid it will cause trouble!"
"Why don't we test the situation in Sanyang Town first and see what's going on with them?"
"What the hell, you think our patrol camp is fake, the worst is to have a fight with them!" Scar, on the other hand, doesn't care about Sanyo Town at all.
At this time, the fingers of Lin Ziran's right hand habitually tapped on the armrest of the chair, making a rhythmic thumping sound.
Sanyang Town is just to the west of Qingshan Town, because the Luo River passes through it. The town's Sanyang Ferry also has a large population and relatively developed industry and commerce. Qingshan Town communicates with the outside world, especially to the county town, county town, even state town or other places.
, usually you can go there by boat via Sanyo Ferry.
Kerosene from Qingshan is transported to the outside world through Sanyo Ferry.
The town also has its own town guard, numbering about two to three hundred people.
The key thing is, why did they stop them from recruiting troops in Sanyang Town?
Although it is said that vassal towns are now common in Daheng, it is not exaggerated to say that each town is independent. Generally speaking, local vassal towns generally refer to large vassal towns that control one or several counties, and a very few control many.
Xiaofan Town in a county.
It is impossible for counties and towns under the county to remain independent.
The same is true in Luo'an County. County Governor Cheng Lingfeng has almost complete control over the entire Luo'an County. Local armed forces such as patrol battalions and guards in the counties and towns in the county also belong to the Luoan Army directly. They are just local second-line troops and are mainly used for suppression.
local, suppress bandits and assist the regular army in operations when necessary.
Even when Lin Ziran was playing patrol camp in Qingshan Town, he was still flying under the banner of Qingshan Town Patrol Camp. It was a serious government local unit and was considered a second-line local unit within the Luo An Army. In the past few months, he had been
He was following the orders of the regular army to escort the baggage.
Qingshan Town is like this, and Sanyang Town is in a similar situation. The local guards and town guards are also government forces.
Like Lin Ziran himself, they are all part of the Luoan County government system. Logically speaking, they will not block the recruitment of friendly troops who also belong to the government.
But why do they still stop themselves from recruiting troops in Sanyang Town?
To be honest, Lin Ziran was a little confused. Could it be that his superiors saw his true intention to expand his military strength and seek independence?
But if this was the case, it wouldn't be just to prevent him from recruiting troops. If the superiors had noticed that he was not doing well, they would have probably sent regular troops to kill him.
After pondering for a moment, Lin Ziran said: "The troops are ordered to gather immediately. I want to see how courageous they are to stop my people, Lin Ziran!"
No matter what the situation is, others are bullying you now, and you must respond.
Soon, there was a commotion in the city gate military camp, and the troops quickly gathered.
Lin Ziran did not take everyone there, but only took the first company, the second company, the cavalry platoon, and the artillery platoon. One of the remaining two companies had to guard the oil field, and the other guarded the town, and they could not be easily mobilized.
In order to arrive quickly, Lin Ziran set off directly with the cavalry, and asked Luo Mazi to catch up with the infantry.
But when Lin Ziran walked halfway, several people came to find Lin Ziran and the others.
Several of the people who came were obviously followers, and the leader was a short, fat, middle-aged man.
Claims to be the manager of Sanyo Trading Company, surnamed Zhu.
Moreover, it seemed that Manager Zhu was not just passing by, but was coming to find him. After meeting him, he went straight to Lin Ziran.
"Manager Zhu, I'm afraid you and I are not familiar with each other. Do you have anything to do with me?" Lin Ziran looked at him with half-squinted eyes.
Manager Zhu only showed up in the deserted mountains and forests with a few people, and he knew at a glance that they were here to find him, which made Lin Ziran a little suspicious.
Manager Zhu is a bit fat, and his small eyes are shrewd: "Mr. Lin is a noble and busy person, so naturally he doesn't recognize the younger one, but the younger one has been looking up to Mr. Lin for a long time!"
As soon as he said this, he directly turned to the topic: "To be honest, sir, I came here specifically to see Mr. Lin. I originally thought that I would have to go to Qingshan Town to see you, but I didn't expect that I would meet you on the way.
