Chapter Ninety-Two: The New Town Guard Takes Office

For Wu Guanlin's performance, Lin Ziran is very satisfied.

The test gun arranged today naturally could not be a show, but wanted Wu Guanlin to see something that could not be seen elsewhere, so that he would be willing to work for himself.

In this chaotic world, it is very simple and troublesome to make a talent available to himself.

You are strong, and a lot of people will take refuge in you!

But if you don't have enough strength, it will undoubtedly be difficult to recruit talent.

There is no doubt that the current Lin Ziran is the latter.

Lin Ziran still values this Wu Guanlin more, his tactical understanding and even other aspects are not possessed by himself and his bandits and peasant officers.

And it is not very hard, there is only one officer from a professional class in the current Qingshan Patrol Battalion, Wu Guanlin.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have arranged a test gun test for him.

After watching the test gun, Lin Ziran turned to Wu Guanlin and said, "This gun is generally in line with the needs of Instructor Wu's new tactics!" ”

"Even to put it mildly, there is still some excess performance, the actual effective range of this gun can even reach more than 400 meters, but the distance is too far, it is difficult to aim with the naked eye!"

Saying that, Lin Ziran still took his soldier's gun and handed it to Wu Guanlin.

Although it was only two days, Lin Ziran had already decided to use this Wu Guanlin, and looked forward to Wu Guanlin coming up with more perfect detailed tactics.

At the same time, Lin Ziran was not too worried that this Wu Guanlin would reveal the secret of the Mini rifle in a short period of time, and was worried about rebellion and other behaviors.

Because although Lin Ziran planned to use him, he didn't plan to let him lead the troops, he just wanted him to serve as an instructor and a staff officer at the same time, in this military camp, there was no need to worry about these problems.

In addition, Lin Ziran also planned to send him a few guards to ensure his 'safety'.

Wu Guanlin naturally didn't know about Lin Ziran's many thoughts, so he took the gun and then looked at it carefully.

Familiar with firearms, he could naturally tell at a glance that this gun was a modification of the Fuyuan musket, except for the rifling in the barrel, the other parts were almost no different from the Fuyuan musket.

Even the gun is engraved with the inscription of the Fuyuan Ordnance Factory.

But then when he saw Mini's bullet, he became interested, and although it was still buckshot, it was conical and had a wooden plug at the bottom.

Then he also loaded and fired a few shots himself, and the whole process was actually similar to that of today's fire cap smoothbore guns, which was to first pour paper-wrapped gunpowder into the barrel, then put lead bullets into it, compact it with the whole body, and then add a fire cap, and finally aim and shoot.

In his opinion, this gun can not only make the new line tactics to a higher level, but also greatly promote the light infantry tactics that he has studied for a long time.

With a lot of ideas in his head, he went back after the test and began to study tactics.

When Lin Ziran saw him like this, he naturally let him go, and he didn't even urge him to give a lecture in a crash course, anyway, if he went to lecture now, at most he would talk about some old-fashioned things, and it was better to wait for him to perfect the new tactics before giving a lecture, and then he could directly train the officers in the new type of tactics.

As for the current training of the troops, it is still mainly based on traditional training.

After dealing with Wu Guanlin's matter, Lin Ziran was in a very good mood, and after inspecting the camp on horseback, and after watching the training of the troops, he went to the oilfield area to see the exploration and exploitation of the oilfield.

Wells 1 and 2 and 3 are still producing a steady amount of just 40 barrels per day, which is enough to meet the refinery's capacity.

However, after a period of time, when the newly relocated equipment of the refinery is installed and commissioned, I am afraid that the capacity of the refinery will be rich.

Ding Quankun introduced Lin Ziran like this: "After half a month, our refinery will be able to refine 50 pokes of crude oil per day, and we are still continuing to order equipment, so that after a month, the refining capacity of our refinery will be able to reach 60 barrels per day!" ”

"And in two months, this capacity will even reach 100 barrels!"

Speaking of this, Ding Quankun was a little worried: "My lord, if we expand the refinery in advance, if this oil exploitation does not go well, wouldn't it be a waste of so much money!" ”

Lin Ziran was speechless when he heard this, this Ding Quankun was still a little short-sighted, and he was still a little bolder.

There is a large oil field under their feet, although no one can give Lin Ziran an accurate number at present, but from the current situation, the reserves of this oil field under their feet are still quite good, as long as they continue to drill and produce oil, it is certain.

At that time, it is possible to produce 100 barrels per day, or even hundreds or thousands.

In order to avoid large-scale oil production in the future, but the refining capacity of the refinery cannot keep up, Lin Ziran felt that it was very necessary to expand the refinery in advance.

Otherwise, it will be impossible to refine so much oil by then.

Not even to mention refining at that time, it is estimated that even how to store so much oil will be a troublesome matter.

He didn't plan to argue with Ding Quankun about anything, nor did he plan to persuade him, he just said: "Don't think about so many things that you don't have, do it according to the predetermined plan!" ”

Although Ding Quankun was still worried, he still said: "The little one understands!" ”

After looking at the oil fields and refineries, Lin Ziran went to Qingshan Commercial Bank for a brief inspection.

That day is over.

In the next few days, Lin Ziran still devoted most of his time to the training of the troops, and a small amount of time was spent on dealing with the affairs of Tsingshan Petroleum Company.

However, on this day, the people left behind in Qingshan Town quickly reported that the new town guard appointed by the above had arrived in Qingshan Town.

"New Keeper?" After Lin Ziran learned the news, he almost didn't react at once!

Because since Wang Jinqian escaped, Lin Ziran disguised the illusion that there was a fire in the town guard mansion and Wang Zhenshou was buried in the fire, and finally reported to the superior Yamen Lianguan County of Qingshan Town.

However, even the Guanxian Yamen did not appoint a new town guard for a long time, and Lin Ziran did not pay attention to it over time.

In the early days, Lin Ziran was also in charge of part of the affairs of the town guard, but soon he focused on the oil company and the expansion of the army and training, and later received an order to send troops to escort the baggage to the north to Chongguang, and then received an order to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the fleeing rebels in the south of Guang'an.

After returning to Qingshan Town, he was again tossing about the relocation, and he was concerned about the patrol of the troops.

I didn't have time to pay attention to the affairs of Qingshan Town, and I forgot that Qingshan Town still lacked a town guard.
