Shao Bing didn't have many regular troops left in Luohai City before, at most three or five thousand people, all of them were second-line troops, and there were about 10,000 recruits urgently recruited in the past half a month.

With these people, it is naturally impossible to resist the army led by Lin Ziran himself.

In fact, they have no intention of resisting.

Shao Bing, the county guard of Luohai County, surrendered and became prisoners of war, and those of them who wanted to resist as subordinates did not have a leader.

On the contrary, after seeing that Shao Bing was completely finished, they all enthusiastically surrendered for their lives and future.

Lin Ziran is still more than ten kilometers away from Luohai City, and he has already received a letter of allegiance from almost any officer above the junior doctor stationed in Luohai City.

Many newspapers in the city are already advocating that Luohai County, under the leadership of Lin Ziran, will be connected with Luo'an County, laying the foundation for the subsequent reunification of Nanhai Prefecture.

The overall situation was much better than Lin Ziran expected.

When Lin Ziran's mount arrived at the outskirts of Luohai City, a large number of middle- and high-ranking generals and middle-ranking officials of the city's garrison gathered together with the gentry and merchants in the city to go out of the city to greet them.

That scene shocked Lin Ziran himself!

Thousands of people on the outskirts of the city greeted them, and these thousands of people were not ordinary people, all civil and military officials or gentry and merchants.

The forward troops of the 2nd Division thought they had seen the enemy's resistance troops, which were thousands of people.

Later, after careful identification, it was found that these were civil and military officials, gentry and merchants.

After Lin Ziran learned of this situation, he immediately said: "Since they took the initiative to greet them, it is not good to lose their face, so I will go to see them, but the city will not enter, find a Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city to settle down!" ”

Not to mention Luo Haicheng, even if it is Luo An City, so far, Lin Ziran has never entered it......

Lin Ziran has been the guard of Luo'an County for several months, but he has never entered Luo'an City, he is staying in the Linjiang Manor on the outskirts of the city, not only him, but also the civil and military institutions and other officials under his command are also working in the suburbs.

Luohai City is huge and complex, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be all kinds of messy people hidden, if you enter the city and be shot with a black gun from a distance, it is not reasonable.

So before the complete rectification and cleanup, Lin Ziran didn't have the courage to enter the city.

So on the same day, he met with these civil and military officials who went out of the city to greet them from a distance on the outskirts of the city, and they were the kind with dozens of personal guards.

Even if these people who went out of the city to greet them had been inspected in detail by the soldiers of the Luo An Army, it was hard to guarantee that they would not be missed.

After this brief reception, Lin Ziran left a sentence: "The reunification of the South China Sea and the reunification of Daheng have not yet succeeded, and you still need to continue to work hard." "It's flashing.

That night, Lin Ziran took a group of civil and military dignitaries to stay in the northern suburbs of Yubei City, which is one of the main military camps in Luohai County, with perfect facilities and a large enough area.

It is more than enough to accommodate Lin Ziran's group and the accompanying soldiers of the garrison regiment.

At the same time, the troops led by the 2nd Division quickly entered the city, controlled the main transportation routes, controlled the two major arsenals and other important factories, controlled the Luohai Bank, controlled other official institutions, and so on.

Due to the active cooperation of the city, there was no armed resistance, so the control operation was quite rapid.

By the end of the evening, the troops had already reported that the control task had been preliminarily completed.

Lin Ziran, who hadn't slept at more than 11 o'clock in the evening, after receiving the report, brought several important generals under his command over, and first instructed Wu Guanlin: The reorganization of the surrendered army in the city should be carried out as soon as possible, whether it is the original troops or the recruits they urgently recruited during this time, they must be rectified and trained, especially those recruits who have been forcibly conscripted, and if they are unwilling to continue to serve in the army, let them go home.

"If there are enough troops, first form a brigade!"

Then he instructed the Ordnance Department: "The Fuyuan Factory and the Machinery Bureau will organize the resumption of production as soon as possible, and at the same time organize manpower to adjust their production lines in order to produce our Luo'an II rifles and rear-loading guns." ”

Then he instructed the people of the industrial and commercial department under his command: "We have just arrived, the top priority is to maintain stability and ensure the supply of materials, the city of more than 800,000 people, can not be chaotic, and in terms of finance, Luohai Bank and Luoan Bank have been merged to control the financial sector and prevent financial fluctuations!" ”

That night, Lin Ziran didn't sleep for a few hours at all, and was busy dealing with various affairs in the first half of the night, and he didn't sleep until the second half of the night.

The next morning, he got up early, and after a simple freshen up and breakfast, he had a simple morning meeting to deal with many affairs after entering the city.

On the morning of the same day, Lin Ziran inspected the troops that were still in the suburbs.

In the afternoon, after learning that the situation was stable, Lin Ziran was a little idle.

After a short rest, in the evening, Lin Ziran received a report that the clean-up work in the urban area had been basically completed, and that most of the few recalcitrant rebels had been killed or arrested on the spot.

At the same time, the production work in the city, especially the industrial chain of the defense industry, led by the two arsenals, has resumed production.

Among them, the Fuyuan Ordnance Factory has adjusted the production line in accordance with the requirements for the production of the improved South China Sea rifle, that is, the Luo'an Type 3 rifle, because the changes are very small, so it can fully resume production within three days, and the daily output is expected to reach 500 pieces.

At the same time, the original Fuyuan rifle modification production line is in a state of suspension because there are not many Fuyuan muskets that can be modified here in Luohai County, and now it can also be used to modify the Nanhai rifle, and the conversion of the Nanhai rifle into the Luoan III rifle will also continue to modify the existing Fuyuan musket.

The factory's paper shell bullet factory will also switch to the production of 18 mm semi-metal bullets used by the Luo An Army according to requirements.

At the same time, more importantly, the all-metal bullet will be in full production.

This report was accompanied by a report on paper-shelled bullets from the General Staff and the Ordnance Service.

According to the report, although the performance of the semi-metal bullets they use today is better than that of the pure paper shell bullets produced by the Fuyuan Ordnance Factory before, there are still unique problems with paper shell bullets, and the problem of air leakage has always been difficult to solve, which has affected the operation of the troops.

So far, the General Staff and Ordnance Services have seriously recommended that the production of pure metal bullets be fully converted.

Of course, they didn't send the report indiscriminately, they also said at the end of the report that the research department under the Ordnance Department has reduced the production cost of all-metal bullets through a variety of methods.

Even if the final cost will still be higher than that of a semi-metal bullet, it will not be as high as before.
