Chapter 50: Why Let Us Go to the Front

In this Daheng Dynasty, there is no custom of the Spring Festival, and there are many festivals of the Daheng people, and there will be a small festival almost every month.

There are many festivals, and people don't particularly care about a certain festival, if they have to say that they do, most of them also care more about the autumn harvest festival in October every year.

Therefore, even in the alternation of the old and new years, the people inside and outside Qingshan Town are all busy and nonsense, and there is no atmosphere like the Spring Festival, New Year's Day, and Christmas on the earth.

This made Lin Ziran a little unaccustomed.

On December 30, the 48th year of Yongchang, although the people outside did not think that this day was anything special, Lin Ziran himself still let the people of the patrol battalion fire their empty guns, and by the way, they fired two training shells as salutes.

People in this world are only the Spring Festival, but Lin Ziran still has to live by himself.

Even if it's just you!

The reason why empty guns and salutes were fired was purely because Lin Ziran didn't find the firecrackers.

Daheng people not only don't have the Spring Festival, they don't set off any firecrackers!

Helpless, Lin Ziran could only let the soldiers let go of their empty guns to make up the numbers.

Although Lin Ziran specially instructed the cook to make dinner very hearty, it didn't feel good to eat.

A person's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, it doesn't feel very good!

After eating, he looked at the starry night sky, and he didn't know if there was a sun and an earth in the starry sky.

Unfortunately, he didn't find any familiar celestial objects, not even the Big Dipper.

This starry sky, like this planet, made him feel extremely strange.

This night, he was homesick!

I also remembered the first and only New Year's Day I spent with my schoolgirl.

On that New Year's Day, she smiled beautifully.

It's a pity that the carved fence and jade masonry should still be there, but Zhu Yan has changed!

After being sad for most of the night, Lin Ziran, who had no sleep, buried himself in the desk and continued to toss his plan to make money and expand the army.

He has spent the last two days making more detailed plans, linking oil fields, refineries and Tsingshan to try to make more money faster.

At the same time, according to the speed and scale of making money, we will further improve the army expansion plan.

In recent months, although he has been doing things to make money and expand the army, to be honest, he wants to make a play and has no perfect plan.

Although they stumbled forward, there were always many unexpected things along the way, such as the previous arms trade, which was an accident.

The goods from Hongxiang Commercial Bank have arrived, but his money is not ready, and he is more embarrassed.

In addition, the production of the oil field has gradually increased, and although the excavation speed of the No. 3 oil well is a little slower than that of the No. 2 well, it has already been dug to 80 meters.

In the past, the No. 2 oil well found the oil layer at a depth of 100 meters, that is, if the No. 3 oil well is lucky enough, then digging another 20 meters can almost reach the oil layer.

Before that, Lin Ziran had to let the refinery prepare in advance.

Considering that the reserves of this oilfield are not bad, even if the No. 3 oil well does not produce oil, but the No. 4 and even No. 5 oil wells will be dug in the future, so the follow-up production of oil will increase significantly.

This also means that the refining capacity of the refinery side will have to continue to increase significantly.

However, this time, Lin Ziran no longer plans to set up the refinery in Qingshan Town, but directly in the oilfield area.

On the one hand, it is to refine oil nearby and avoid transporting crude oil every day.

In addition, it is also for the purpose of centralization, and then it is easy to do protection.

Now the patrol battalion is divided into several directions, and the strength is somewhat insufficient, so Lin Ziran considered putting the base camp in the oil field area in the future.

And these things need to be planned in advance, and they can't be messed around.

He stayed up most of the night making plans and didn't sleep until the early hours of the morning, but when it came to the morning, he was woken up.

I was not in a good mood last night, but now I was called up after only a few hours of sleep, which made Lin Ziran say with a dark eyes and a straight face: "What's wrong?" ”

Luo Mazi is also a smart person, and he knows that Lin Ziran is unhappy now, so he can't help but lower his voice when he speaks: "My lord, the third division sent a herald over!" ”

"Heralds of the Third Division?" When Lin Ziran heard this, he frowned slightly.

The Third Division, one of the four main field divisions in Luo'an County, this time in the Northern Expedition to Guang'an, the Third Division was the main force.

Jian Liangzhi's 7th Musket Regiment belonged to the division.

The Qingshan Town Patrol Battalion belongs to the local militia in Luo'an County, and on the surface, it seems that it has nothing to do with the regular army like the Third Division, but in fact, whether it is the regular army or the local militia groups of various names, they all belong to the official armed forces in Luo'an County, and they all have to obey the dispatch of the county guard.

However, most of the time, the regular army will not dispatch local militia groups to participate in military operations, after all, local militia groups are usually young and strong militia, and they have little combat effectiveness, and are generally only used to maintain logistics supply lines in the territory and suppress local law and order.

Just like Lin Ziran did now, he is now mainly responsible for public security issues in Qingshan Town, and sends troops to escort the baggage convoy of front-line troops when it crosses.

But if it's just like this, there is no need for the third division to send an order!

Lin Ziran had many thoughts in his mind, and finally decided to see what the situation was first.

Soon, Lin Ziran met the herald from the headquarters of the Third Division.

As soon as this person saw Lin Zi, he took out layers of envelopes wrapped in oiled paper from his arms, and after opening the oiled paper, he took out two letters, both of which had wax seals on them.

He handed the two letters to Lin Ziran and said, "Please also ask Lord Lin to sign for it, and please reply to the letter immediately, and the small one will be brought back by Pegasus." ”

After taking it and nodding slightly, Lin Ziran first opened one of them, which was a letter of title stamped with the seal of the Quanxu Office of Luo'an County, saying that Lin Ziran was awarded the title of doctor because of his meritorious service in defending the city and killing the enemy, and his diligence in maintaining the supply line in Qingshan Town.

To be honest, Lin Ziran was a little surprised, his Qingshan Town Patrol Battalion was not a regular army, whether it was in the civilian or official archives, it was just a militia group.

Most of the soldiers and officers in these militia groups do not have military titles, just like Lin Ziran before.

Everyone else calls him an adult or something, but in fact he doesn't have any real military lords, so after being stationed in Qingshan Town, although Lin Ziran wore the military uniform of a scholar, he never wore a military lord's badge, not only him, but also the officers and soldiers under him.

Originally, he thought that with these merits, coupled with Jian Liangzhi's support, it would be good to be able to get an active sergeant, but he didn't expect that he would still be a doctor.

This is a name on earth, and it is a rank similar to that of major.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!

So after seeing such a letter of title, Lin Ziran didn't have any happy expression, but immediately opened another letter.

As soon as he opened the end of this letter, it made Lin Ziran's heart skip a beat, this was the order personally given by Ma Haozhong, the commander of the Third Division.

Looking at the content carefully, Lin Ziran's brows furrowed even tighter!

Luo Mazi on the side looked anxious and worried, and immediately leaned over to take a look.

Seeing this, Luo Mazi suddenly exclaimed: "We are just a patrol battalion, why do you want us to go to the front line!" ”
