Lin Ziran began to pay attention to the importance of people's hearts and prestige, and even asked Luo Mazi to be responsible for making a newspaper to act as a mouthpiece.

However, this kind of thing can't directly enhance its own strength in a short period of time, although Lin Ziran paid attention to it, he didn't put too much energy into paying attention to it.

In a short period of time, the most important thing is to reorganize the armed forces and train the Sixth Division.

If the follow-up Sixth Division can't withstand the armies of other feudal towns, and even the army and territory are gone, what can we talk about the people's will.

And as time passed, in January of the fiftieth year of Xuanping, Wu Guanlin finally reported good news to him.

Since the Fourth Infantry Regiment began to be organized and trained in September last year, two mixed regiments have been expanded to make up for the shortages of other units, and high-intensity training has been conducted for the troops and frequent exercises, the Sixth Division has initially reached the target set in September last year to be fully manned.

Wu Guanlin said: "At present, the four infantry regiments, two mixed regiments, one field artillery regiment, one heavy artillery regiment, one cavalry regiment, one baggage regiment, one engineering battalion, one garrison battalion, one health battalion, and one military music company of our Sixth Division are all full! ”

"At the same time, in the three recruit camps, there are a total of 1,000 recruits undergoing recruit training, and they can fill the vacancies of each unit at any time!"

In addition to the front-line combat infantry, according to the instructions of the adults, the auxiliary forces of the baggage and engineering units have also carried out infantry combat training, and are equipped with light weapons such as muskets and light mortars."

"In terms of artillery, the field artillery regiment has a total of 54 field guns and 12 howitzers, and the two mixed regiments also have a total of 12 field guns and 2 howitzers. The artillery of the heavy artillery unit is well maintained, and the nineteen guns are still available! ”

"At the same time, all artillery units are issued with new ammunition!"

"In addition, we have six field guns as a strategic reserve, which are currently attached to the recruit battalion as training artillery, and if necessary, these six guns can also directly replenish the front-line troops."

"There are still twelve old guns in stock, but most of these guns have reached the limit of their barrel life and can only be used as strategic reserves!"

Wu Guanlin's expression was full of spirit when he said these words, and as chief of the General Staff Department, he was responsible for the training and operational command of the troops.

In normal times, the main thing is training.

The Sixth Division was able to achieve full capacity, and he spent a lot of effort.

Lin Ziran also recognized Wu Guanlin's hard work, so he said: "The Sixth Division can be fully loaded, Brother Wu is indispensable!" ”

Wu Guanlin listened, and there was a smile on his face: "There, there, you are all well guided, and your humble duties are just acting according to orders!" ”

Immediately after, the two of them flattered each other.

Wu Guanlin said that Lin Ziran had a good leadership, and Lin Ziran said that Wu Guanlin had hard work and more merit.

In short, the atmosphere is harmonious, after blowing for a while, Wu Guanlin briefly introduced the defense deployment, this is nothing special, the six towns on the east bank of Lingchang are stationed in the second mixed regiment, and the Nanguangcheng defense line is the first mixed regiment is responsible.

The headquarters of the Sixth Division is stationed inside, and the division headquarters is set up in Sanyang Town, and the main force is deployed in the area of Sanyang Town and Qingshan Town, and at the same time, the Third Infantry Regiment and some auxiliary troops are deployed on both sides of the Lianhe River, that is, around the county seat of Lianguan County.

The core idea of the deployment of the 20,000-strong army is that there are two mixed regiments, one south and one north, with the headquarters of the Sixth Division in the center.

After talking about this defense, Wu Guanlin wanted to speak again and again, but in the end he was bold and said: "My lord, in the past six months, our staff office has made several plans, do you want to refer to one or two?" ”

"Plan?" As soon as Lin Ziran heard Wu Guanlin's words, he knew that the plan he was talking about must be a plan to send troops to attack other feudal towns.

Lin Ziran wants to make a move, this is something that everyone knows, Wu Guanlin and they know very well that the purpose of arming the war is to fight abroad.

Now many soldiers of the Sixth Division, especially those generals, are waiting for Lin Ziran's order one by one.

Not to mention the inside, even people from the outside know that Lin Ziran wants to make trouble.

However, none of them knew when Lin Ziran was going to do it and to whom!

Even Wu Guanlin, the director of the staff office, didn't know.

However, even if I don't know Lin Ziran's final decision, the work of the staff office is to formulate various battle plans in advance, and Wu Guanlin has been defecting for two years, and he has already established the staff office as a very standard staff organization.

Those staff officers, especially those staff officers of the Operations Section, are idle every day and have nothing to do to make all kinds of operational plans.

Nowadays, there are dozens of various battle plans in the staff office.

The battle plan for sending troops south to fight Jianminggang alone has more than 20 different plans.

There are also more than 10 operational plans for sending troops to the north and westward and Li Kun to start a war.

There are all kinds of these combat plans, and basically Wu Guanlin has taken into account everything that can be taken into account.

Therefore, even if Lin Ziran did not tell Wu Guanlin who they were going to fight and when to do it, it actually did not affect the final dispatch of troops to fight.

Because all kinds of combat plans are ready-made, as long as Lin Ziran makes the final decision, the staff officer will be able to come up with the corresponding combat plan to implement it in a few minutes.

But Lin Ziran still didn't say anything to Wu Guanlin, he just nodded and said, "Well, you send me the plan over and I'll take a look!" ”

He just said that he would look at the plan, but he did not reveal any news.

Because, until now, Lin Ziran himself has not decided how to fight!

Now that the situation in Roan County is so chaotic, and several surrounding states are also paying attention to it, this affects the whole body, he can't say how he wants to fight, he needs to make different choices according to the changes in the situation.

Although the current situation is chaotic, it still maintains the overall calm state in the second half of last year, and in this calm state, he Lin Ziran will not jump out first and rashly break this calm.

He didn't want to be the one who shot the first bird!

He's going to be that gun!

So he's waiting, waiting for the situation to change.

According to the feedback from the spies he sent to the surrounding counties, Lin Ziran had every reason to believe that the situation was not far off.

At the end of last year, a spy reported that there was a rebel army in the area under the rule of Jian Minggang, and the rebel army was not large, only a few thousand people, but it was strong in combat, and at the same time, it did not play frontal combat with the army of Jian Minggang, and the army of Jian Minggang played hide and seek, and it was not easy to toss some areas in the south.

Earlier this month, spies reported that there had been many armed tax protests under Zhao Song's rule, because Zhao Song's exploitation was so ruthless that the local people had already picked up Fuyuan muskets to carry out armed protests several times.

And just the day before yesterday, the spies reported that in Pingdan County next door, a regiment under Li Kun mutinied, and the reason was very simple: arrears of wages!

Even Li Dingjun's side in the south is not very peaceful, and it is rumored that many people have even fled with their families to Luohai County in the south.

From the reports that continue to be sent back, Lin Ziran can say with great certainty that in the future, Luo An will have great changes!

Because, people can't stand the high-pressure exploitation and rule of several big feudal towns!

The calm of the moment is only the calm before the storm!
