Duan Hongxiao's first feeling when he saw Lin Ziran was that he was young, and his second feeling was that he was handsome!

Nima, still taller than herself!

The most important thing is that the young man in front of him is already the commander of the 20,000-strong army, ruling the territory of Twenty-two Towns!

Comparing himself again, Duan Hongxiao couldn't help but sigh!

He has been in the military for 20 years, but now he is still just a naval doctor, and he has been reduced to the point where his future is uncertain and he wants to defect to this young man.

Alas, how unjust God is!

But as an old fritter in the navy, he also quickly calmed down his mentality.

Although the Lin Ziran in front of him looks like this, everyone knows that Lin Ziran is only from the militia group, and there is no family behind him, and he is not even from a famous school.

This person is a very pure cloth background!

But with such a background, he was able to raise an army of 20,000 people in just over two years, control the territory of Twenty-two Towns, and become one of the five major feudal towns in Luo'an.

This point is actually an important reason for Duan Hongxiao to defect to Lin Ziran!

This son seems to have many flaws, and there are many differences between it and other feudal towns.

But it is precisely because of this that it proves his ability even more!

In troubled times, for feudal towns, background is very important, which can make their connections more extensive and their contact with affairs more in-depth.

Of course, having these is not enough, the more important thing is ability, otherwise, the prominent background can only make their starting point higher, and the beginning is smoother.

But if they want to really achieve a career, they need to rely more on their own ability.

I have to admit that the feudal towns from the powerful are actually far superior to others in terms of ability.

Because they have received the top education since childhood, this kind of education is not only education in school, but also family education, they have been exposed to all kinds of military and political affairs since they were young, and can know all kinds of military and political bigwigs, and this kind of experience is impossible for ordinary people to have.

As a result, these people know how to be a qualified feudal town since they were young.

Of course, it's one thing to know, and it's another to be able to do it.

In fact, it is still a very small number of people who can really succeed.

Because in order to succeed, it is necessary not only military command talents, nor only administrative methods, but also indispensable personality charm.

With all three or more, this is the only way to gain a foothold in this troubled world and then dominate the world.

However, there are very few people who really have these abilities, and they are all very good.

Duan Hongxiao has been mixed up for more than 20 years, and he doesn't dare to say anything about the situation in other states, but in Nanhai Prefecture, he thinks that there are only a few such people in the past 20 years.

The first is the Nanhai Prefecture Governor more than ten years ago, Duke Meng, the commander of the South China Navy.

At that time, Duke Meng, even in the entire Daheng, was extremely famous, and was once considered one of the few people in the world who had the ability to reunite Daheng.

He is a hereditary duke, there are not many such illustrious backgrounds in the whole world, and more importantly, in addition to his identity background, his military command talent is also quite good, as early as the Hengao War, he was the head of the army, and his military achievements were outstanding.

The ability to govern is also quite good, in the years when he ruled Nanhai Prefecture, the general development of industry, agriculture and commerce in Nanhai Prefecture is still good, although the tax is still very heavy, but people's lives are still quite good, which is quite rare in the overall civil strife situation in Daheng.

And more importantly, this person has a lot of personality charm that the feudal town does not have, and when he became the governor of Nanhai Prefecture, he was actually just the commander of an army.

However, after he shouted in Luohai City, there were countless followers, and he established his position as the state order in one fell swoop.

It's a pity that such a person died in the war with Dongdingzhou.

Otherwise, twenty years ago, it is estimated that Nanhai Prefecture would be able to connect with Dongding Prefecture, and finally unify the entire Daheng on this basis.

After Duke Meng's death, the huge Southern Navy split instantly, and many heroes emerged one after another, and the last one should be Cheng Lingfeng.

No, to be more precise, Cheng Lingfeng can only be regarded as half, this person deserves the word hero in the first half of his life, but he has been completely degraded after he began to grow old a few years ago.

Otherwise, Guang'an will never be independent!

After Cheng Lingfeng, in the huge Nanhai Prefecture now, no one can be worthy of the word hero.

The current county guard of Luohai County, in Duan Hongxiao's opinion, will only play with intrigues and tricks, and it is a particularly bad one, when he led tens of thousands of troops north to Luo'an, he was defeated by the various feudal towns of Luo'an, which had fallen into civil strife, and finally had to flee in embarrassment.

From this alone, it can be seen that this person is ambitious and talented!

As for what Jian Minggang is, let alone that, he can't even unify Luo'an County.

Duan Hongxiao looked at the entire Nanhai Prefecture, and he didn't find that even one person had the ability to reunify Nanhai Prefecture, let alone lead Nanhai Prefecture to fight for hegemony.

Even if it was this Lin Ziran in front of him, he didn't dare to say that this person would really succeed.

However, he felt that this person should have a little hope, even if it was a glimmer of hope, but it was worth his bet in advance.

The reason why he feels this way is mainly because Lin Ziran's experience in the past two years is too scary.

More than two years ago, who knew who Lin Ziran was?

No one knew, not even the people in Qingshan Town knew where Lin Ziran came from.

Now the official statement in Qingshan Town is that Lin Ziran had the world in his heart in his early years, and traveled all over the world, rode the wind to the sea, went to the top of the snow-capped mountains, and saw all kinds of things in the world, especially felt the hardships of the people's lives.

After traveling around Qingshan Town, because there were many bandits here, Lin Ziran really couldn't stand it, and finally reluctantly served as the camp officer of the Qingshan Patrol Battalion, only what happened later, everyone knew.

Lin Ziran's past, everyone doesn't know, they can only listen to their one-sided official explanation, but what Lin Ziran has done in the past few years, everyone can see it.

It seems that what this person does is also very simple, but I don't know why it has somehow developed to this point.

The tax restriction order issued before shocked the entire Luoan County, and real talents began to vote.

In a sense, the tax restriction order is what makes Lin Ziran really enter the sight of the people, and makes many people value it, feeling that although he has little hope, there should be a glimmer of hope for the unification of Luo'an County.

Duan Hongxiao is one of them!

And Lin Ziran's actions later also proved Duan Hongxiao's judgment.

Lin Ziran personally greeted him at the dock, and even when Duan Hongxiao had not yet disembarked, he had already stepped forward, and when Duan Hongxiao got off the boat, this young overly handsome feudal town, with a kind smile that young people should not have, stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's been hard all the way!" ”

This moment reminded Duan Hongxiao of twenty years ago!

In that year, the Southern Navy conquered Dongdingzhou, and during the battle, Duke Meng inspected the navy and met with the junior officers of the navy.

Duan Hongxiao, who was still very young at the time and was only a corporal in the navy, was also one of the young officers who were interviewed.

That year, Duke Meng also stretched out his hand like this, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said with a kind smile: "It's been hard all the way!" ”
