When he learned that Jian Minggang's troops launched a large-scale attack on Zhao Song's department, Lin Ziran did not have any delay, and directly ordered the troops to respond accordingly.

In this tense moment, if it was still last year when the Nanzhou Bank had not collapsed, it is estimated that the Nanzhou Bank would have jumped out to intervene, just like before Jian Minggang wanted to continue to go north to kill Li Kun after destroying Feng Haozhong, but he was blocked by the Nanzhou Bank.

But now that the Nanzhou Bank has collapsed, the collapse of the Nanzhou Bank is equivalent to untying a chain for many feudal towns, at least without having to repay the huge debts of the Nanzhou Bank.

In the past, the county guard only repaid the interest of the Nanzhou Bank every year, which was several million, and this was only interest, not including the repayment of the principal.

Now, not only do you not have to repay the interest, but even the principal is directly relied on, which is equivalent to millions more out of thin air every year on the side of the Luo'an County Shoufu.

And it is very important that there is no need to worry about the South State Bank cutting off their supply of weapons and ammunition.

Since last year, in fact, not only Lin Ziran, Jian Minggang is also vigorously developing the arsenal under his command, and the scale of the Luoan Arsenal has continued to expand, in addition to the original production capacity of weapons and ammunition, it has begun to imitate and produce new types of artillery and ammunition.

With the background of the Luo'an Arsenal, they are easier to do than the Castle Peak Machinery Factory.

The Qingshan Machinery Factory is now able to imitate and produce new artillery shells, new 120-mm field guns and 150-mm field guns and other artillery, and the Luo'an Arsenal is even more capable.

As long as there are funds and sufficient supply of raw materials, the output of the Luo'an Arsenal is much larger than that of the Qingshan Machinery Factory.

This also means that the supply of weapons and ammunition and financial problems that plague Jian Minggang have been resolved.

No one was able to stab him in terms of money, weapons and ammunition when he decided to launch a battle to unify Roan.

However, although there is no Nanzhou Bank, there are still many people who oppose him.

It can even be said that except for their own people, everyone else is against the unification of Luo'an County by Jian Minggang.

Especially Lin Ziran, Zhao Song, and Li Dingjun!

Lin Ziran sent troops as soon as he got the news, and Li Dingjun in the south was not slow to react, after getting the news, he also chose to send troops as soon as possible, the gunboats began to block the Luo River in the north, and a large number of troops began to march towards the north.

The actions of Lin Ziran and Li Dingjun did not give Jian Minggang much surprise.

All of this was expected by him.

Before signing the battle order, he had already expected that the difficulty of unifying Luoan County would be very high.

He needs to at least fight against Zhao Song, Lin Ziran, and Zhao Song at the same time.

Even, he expected the opposition of Du Zhikuan and Shao Bing.

It's going to be a very difficult process.

But he was still fearless, because he knew that this was his best, and maybe even his last chance to unify Roan.

If it weren't for the opportunity to just destroy Li Kun, he would launch a battle for reunification.

After Lin Ziran and Zhao Song each digested the territory they had snatched from Li Kun, the strength of the two sides would be stronger, and it would be even more difficult to fight at that time.

In addition, there is another reason that cannot be ignored, and can even be said to be the direct impetus for him to start the war so urgently.

That is, the financial situation of the county warden's office has reached a very bad level.

After the destruction of the Nanzhou Bank last year, although they were able to repay a lot of debts, at the same time, none of the Nanzhou banks were able to provide them with loans at a critical moment.

Jian Minggang maintained such a large army, and it could only rely purely on various revenues on the territory.

However, what he controlled was only three counties and one district, and although these places were the essence of Luo'an County, they were only a part of it.

It is almost impossible to maintain an army of sixty or seventy thousand with these territories.

Jian Minggang, on the other hand, has made this impossible possible, and the price paid is the poor financial situation.

The administrative system under his rule has not allocated any funds since the beginning of this year, not to mention the arrears of officials' salaries, and even ordinary office expenses have been in arrears.

Even the soldiers in the army, although they can still receive salaries, they have also deducted a lot, and even the food is much worse.

And all the money saved was exchanged for weapons and ammunition, especially those shells that filled the warehouse.

This extreme situation is unlikely to last too long, otherwise Li Kun's fate will be his.

So he can't wait, he has to start a war in a short period of time, and he has to win the war in a short period of time and completely unify Roan County.

This gave him the opportunity to pool the resources of the entire county of Roan to deal with the complete collapse of the finances.

In order to quickly unify Luo'an County, Jian Minggang believes that the most important thing is to divide Lin Ziran, Zhao Song, and Li Dingjun, block the counterattack of two of them first, and concentrate on destroying one first.

Zhao Song is the one he wants to concentrate on destroying first.

Because in his opinion, Zhao Song's side is the easiest to fight.

The second is Li Dingjun in the south.

As for Lin Ziran's side, it seems that the background is shallow, but in Jian Minggang's opinion, it is the most difficult hard bone to gnaw.

Not to mention anything else, the Luo River and the complex terrain of Lianguan County are enough to bring a lot of trouble.

This kind of trouble is not a question of whether or not you can win the war, but a problem of consuming too much time to fight in a complex terrain like Lianguan County.

And now, what Jian Minggang lacks most is time!

Many of Jianminggang's plans are linked one by one!

But what he definitely didn't expect was that there was a problem in this link!

On 19 March, Jian Minggang watched as military newspapers arrived from the front of all sides.

In the northwest, the 30,000-strong army under his command has advanced and lost, and is continuing to march towards Yonggu County, and there have been several skirmishes with Zhao Song's troops in the past two days.

In the southern direction, although Li Dingjun's side has moved, the troops have not yet been assembled, so there is no need to worry about it for a while.

In the southeast, that is, in the direction of the east bank of Lingchang, their own defending troops also returned, and Lin Ziran's troops in the north made some changes and also launched a tentative attack, but they were successfully repelled by the defenders.

But only in the north of Pingdan City there was an accident!

An urgent report from the front line in Pyongdan City said that they were raided by Lin Ziran's troops yesterday and lost hundreds of people.

Jian Minggang immediately asked the chief of staff he relied on the most, that is, his eldest son Jian Liangzhi: "The troops of more than 10,000 people are strictly guarded, and this is only the first day of engagement, how can there be such casualties?" ”

"Could it be that the other side directly launched a general attack?"

Jian Minggang shook his head and said: "This is a detailed battle report urgently sent from the front line of Pingdan City, the other party did not launch a general attack, in fact, they only sent a regiment of forward troops to launch a tentative attack!" ”

"A regiment?" Jian Minggang is even more incomprehensible.
