Although the area of Lianguan County is large, it can be regarded as a large county in Luo'an County in terms of single-wheel area, but most of it is mountainous and hilly, and the arable land area is not much.

Well, at least in a rich country like Daheng, the area of arable land is not much.

Therefore, the population is not too large, and the population is not large, so the number of young and strong people is naturally limited.

The potential source of soldiers who meet the conditions and are willing to join the army and join the supplementary brigade is naturally limited.

And these people have basically been recruited for most of the past six months.

By now, it has become difficult for the recruitment section to recruit a large number of soldiers in Lianguan County, so the scope of recruitment of the recruitment section has been quietly expanded half a month ago.

Mainly in Pingdan County in the east and Lingchang County in the south, and even Guang'an County sent people to recruit new soldiers.

However, the above-mentioned lands are all other people's territory, and it is impossible for them to let Lin Ziran's men recruit a large number of soldiers in their territory, whether it is Guang'an or Jianminggang.

So the recruitment in other places is sneaky and can't be on a scale.

Wu Guanlin naturally knows the current problem: "Judging from the population of our Lianguan County, maintaining the number of 10,000 soldiers is already the limit, even if we adopt compulsory conscription, it will be difficult to recruit a large number of qualified soldiers!" ”

"The recruitment of soldiers in Pingdan County and Lingchang County is not going well, and more than a dozen of the people we sent to recruit new recruits have disappeared one after another!"

Lin Ziran naturally knew what this disappearance meant.

This is not a disappearance at all, but was arrested or even killed directly by the local feudal town.

Now the Guang'an people who are entrenched in Pingdan County and Feng Haozhong and Jian Minggang over there are not good people, and if they find that Lin Ziran's men are recruiting recruits on a large scale in their territory, they must have found one and killed another.

Lin Ziran pondered for a moment and said: "The recruitment of recruits in the field needs to change the strategy, and now this way of directly sending people to recruit and then bringing them over is not appropriate, and the follow-up is mainly propaganda." ”

"You instruct people to print a batch of recruitment leaflets and secretly distribute them in the surrounding areas, so that the local young people who are interested in joining the army know that as long as they come to join the army, then they can get a high settling-in allowance, salary and travel subsidy, and we must focus on publicity, we have food and lodging, three meals a day, unlimited food supply, and we must publicize that we will regularly select outstanding soldiers for officer training."

"At the same time, recruitment points were set up in nearby Lingchang, Ping'an and other areas to specifically accept these people with lofty ideals who defected on their own."

It is too risky to directly send people over to recruit, and it is also difficult to recruit on a large scale, so it is better to focus on propaganda and let the local young people come over to join the army by themselves.

As long as the treatment is passed, I am not afraid that these potential soldiers will not come.

In troubled times, although joining the army is risky, at least you don't have to go hungry, and you also have the opportunity to get ahead.

Of course, the early stage is better treatment.

If it is a feudal town that can't even pay salaries, these young people are generally reluctant to go.

The matter of soldiers, to this extent, can only be done slowly, and it is difficult to obtain a large number of soldiers in a short period of time.

If this soldier is difficult to recruit, it also means that Lin Ziran's supplementary brigade will be difficult to expand on a large scale in a short period of time.

Therefore, after Lin Ziran pondered for a while, he said to Wu Guanlin: "The main expansion work in the near future should be concentrated on the eighth and ninth infantry battalions, and the other part should be concentrated on supplementing the vacancies in the baggage and artillery units. ”

"Until these units are fully equipped, no new units will be considered!"

Wu Guanlin said: "We understand that our establishment already has nine infantry battalions, three artillery battalions, three baggage battalions, three cavalry companies and an engineering company, as well as a health company and a guard company. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Guanlin showed a confident smile: "Once these 10,000 troops are trained into an army, our supplementary brigade will have enough strength, and no matter how the situation in Luo'an County changes, we will be able to deal with it with enough confidence." ”

Wu Guanlin's words were very appetizing to Lin Ziran.

10,000 trained troops, even if they are placed in the entire Luo'an County, it is a huge force, which is enough to affect the situation in the entire Luo'an County to a certain extent.

Of course, the premise is to train into the army.

If it is like now, it is a group of new recruits, then the role it can play is very limited.

Leaving the training ground, Lin Ziran took Luo Mazi and others back to the urban area of Sanyang Town.

This is the third time that Lin Ziran has entered the city after arriving in Sanyang Town with his army.

Because just like when he was in Qingshan Town, Lin Ziran always liked to stay with the troops, rather than staying in the city.

Although the barracks is located in the northeast corner of the city, there is also a little distance, and if something happens, this distance will also become a fatal hazard.

Therefore, after Lin Ziran came to Sanyang Town, he has always lived in the barracks, and if there is nothing to do, he will not leave.

This time when I entered the city, I mainly went to meet a few people.

Zhou Li and Wu Shenxuan, business manager of Nanzhou Bank.

Zhou Li revealed the news to Lin Ziran in advance, that is, Nanzhou Bank intends to cooperate more closely with him.

Closer collaboration?

As soon as he heard this, Lin Ziran's first reaction was, could it be that his identity as a child of destiny was exposed?

Nanzhou Bank discovered his identity as a traverser and knew that he was destined to be the son of destiny who wanted to unify Daheng and even the entire Blue Star, so did he have to bet in advance?

Regardless of the reason, the people of Nanzhou Bank still have to meet it.

The feudal towns in the counties of Nanhai Prefecture will choose to meet the people of the Nanzhou Bank when they encounter a situation like Lin Ziran.

Because this Nanzhou Bank is the God of Wealth who can take out tens of millions of Hengyuan at every turn.

In these years, it costs a lot of money to raise an army and fight wars.

It costs money to recruit new soldiers, it costs money to train new soldiers, and it costs money to buy equipment.

On weekdays, the cost of expanding the army and raising the army is high enough, but once the war starts, the expenditure is even more terrifying.

Once a war breaks out, the expenditure on military spending is like a flood bursting its banks, which is terrifying to watch.

Therefore, no amount of money is enough for the feudal towns.

Well, Lin Ziran is no exception!

Now his mind is full of thinking about how to further expand the army and seize the entire Luoan County, and he is very short of money.

At this time, if the Nanzhou Bank could provide him with a loan of three or five million or something, all kinds of betrayals, no, it was a treaty of selling the county, he would definitely sign it without hesitation.

But when he met people, after Wu Shenxuan said the so-called cooperation plan of Nanzhou Bank, it made Lin Ziran's face instantly darken!
