The world of counterfeit magistrates competes in the world

Chapter 67

With Jin Jiuyuan's allegiance, Lin Yifan seemed like a duck to water in the county. With his help, he soon established Hengshan Commercial Bank in the county. This firm was temporarily managed by Chen Dengke, with Jin Jiuyuan as his assistant.Responsible for covering the transportation of money, food and materials between the two places in the county, and actively expanding contacts to prepare for the long-distance trade of Hengshan Commercial Bank.Lin Yifan braved the wind and sand and marched towards Tianmenguan with the newly recruited mercenaries and purchased slaves.

After seven or eight days of trekking, when the sandstorm had weakened, Lin Yifan and others finally arrived at the foot of Tianshan Mountain.Not long after everyone entered the Tianshan Mountains, they saw black cavalry approaching rumblingly in front of them. When they approached, the formation suddenly changed. The heavy armored cavalry in the middle turned into an arrow formation, and the light cavalry spread out like two wings, outflanking the crowd. Come.Lin Yifan looked at the menacing cavalry in front of him calmly, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "This kid, he's just messing with some demon moths."

Although Lin Yifan was not afraid, this kind of battle frightened the newly recruited mercenaries and slaves into panic, and they were in a mess. Only after his explanation did they calm down.

When the cavalry approached, they all stopped their positions and quickly formed a neat formation. The momentum suddenly changed from a state of menacing and offensive to an orderly state. The oppressive feeling of Xu Rulin's formation did not decrease in the slightest. , but increased a lot.

Seeing this, Lin Yifan finally had a hint of surprise in his eyes, "Luo Feng is a good guy, he trained those horse thieves in a good way, and his combat effectiveness seems to be quite high."

Luo Feng came to Lin Yifan proudly, and asked proudly: "My lord, what do you think of the soldiers I lead?"

Lin Yifan narrowed his eyes slightly to look at the neat and quiet queue in front of him, nodded involuntarily, and said with a smile, "Not bad, it's about [-]% to [-]% as good as your father's."

Luo Feng was speechless when he heard the words, he dared not refuse, he could only wave his hand resentfully, and said, "My lord, all the troops in Tianmen Village are here, please review your lord."

"The battle you made just now has opened our eyes. Your boy trained soldiers well, and you already look like officers and soldiers.

Only then did Luo Feng grin, "Your Excellency is too much, and I invite you to visit the village."

After entering the stronghold, I saw that everything in the stronghold was orderly and strict.Those who don't know the details saw this and thought they saw a military camp.

After listening to Luo Feng's report on the affairs of the past month, Lin Yifan expressed his appreciation for Luo Feng's achievements.Because after Luo Feng was stationed here, he repelled the invasion of Hao Jigu's horse bandits. If it wasn't for lack of troops, he didn't dare to go out to suppress the bandits easily, he probably wiped out all the bandits nearby.Therefore, after consolidating the security of the cottage, Luo Feng continued to train and train the newly attached horse thieves all day long, and only then did he achieve the results he saw today.

After learning about the situation here, Lin Yifan told Luo Feng about the crisis that Hengshan was about to encounter, and asked him to prepare.This time, he needed to bring all 800 of Luo Feng's men back to Hengshan, and the remaining 200 people and the Xiongfeng mercenary group continued to garrison Tianmen Village.The newly recruited 200 mercenaries will serve as auxiliary soldiers under Luo Feng's command, continuing to suppress bandits and transport supplies around Tianmen Village.

Luo Feng was immediately unhappy when he heard this, "My lord, HS County is in danger now, how can my subordinates do nothing here? Please transfer me back to Hengshan, my lord. If the golden werewolf really dares to invade Hengshan, my subordinates will definitely lead the way. Go forward without hesitation and kill those golden wolf barbarians."

"What's doing nothing?" Lin Yifan said sternly, "Don't think it's easy here. If Hengshan can't hold on, this is our way out. How can it be so easy for more than 3 people to live comfortably? For now, Mr. Chen sits calmly. Yuanjun, responsible for coordinating the material storage and delivery of the two places, is to protect the people of Hengshan. It can be said that what you are doing now is the most important thing, and you must not ignore it, understand?"

Luo Feng sighed helplessly, and said unwillingly: "I'm not the material to do such a thing, why can't I call other people over?"

"Do you think everyone else is free?" Lin Yifan laughed angrily, "We don't have many talents in Hengshan, and even Mr. Chen has been assigned to Shazhou to preside over the overall situation. If you don't like being here, then I will How about you transfer to your father?"

"Don't." Luo Feng was so frightened that he quickly waved his hands and begged, "My lord, I'd better stay here and don't send me to my father. If he knows why I was transferred to him, he must would break my leg."

"Haha! If that's the case, then you should do your best here. As long as you do well, I will praise you in front of Uncle Luo." Lin Yifan grabbed Luo Feng's sore foot and said happily.

Afterwards, Lin Yifan met with Xiong Feng, the head of the Xiongfeng mercenary group, and raised their mercenary fee to 15 taels of silver each, and extended the employment period again to half a year.Ask them to be responsible for assisting Luo Feng in managing the more than 1000 mercenaries and stabilizing Tianmen Village.

Xiong Feng patted his chest and readily agreed, "My boss, don't worry, most of the mercenaries you recruited are acquaintances. Our Xiongfeng mercenary regiment is well-known in the mercenary circle of Dingyuan County, although there are only two hundred people in it. , but we are not afraid of these young men. Now we and Lord Luo have more than [-] troops, all of whom are well-equipped and well-trained, more than enough to suppress these mercenaries."

Hearing Xiong Feng's assurance, Lin Yifan was relieved for the most part. He knew Xiong Feng's character, he never spoke big words, he nailed every spittle, and his credibility was very high.

The next day, Luo Feng's 100 armored cavalry and [-] horse bandit cavalry were brought under Lin Yifan's command, while Lin Yifan's [-]-strong mercenary regiment was handed over to Luo Feng.Afterwards, Lin Yifan bid farewell to Luo Feng with [-] cavalrymen and [-] slaves, and set off to return to Hengshan.

Back in Beimangzhai, Luo Yi had already wiped out all the horse bandits within five hundred miles of the surrounding area. There were not even one out of ten bandits, big or small. So far, all the bandits in the east section of the promenade had been wiped out.Countless thieves were seized in this raid, and more than 800 thieves and more than [-] horses were captured.Lin Yifan couldn't care less about this, and asked the new Zhai Zhangqian to absorb and digest these captives, and left five hundred men and three hundred cavalry for Beimang Zhai, and the remaining [-] men and horses and [-] horses They were all incorporated into Lin Yifan's team.

So far, when Lin Yifan entered Shazhou this time, he brought back more than [-] soldiers and horses and returned to Hengshan with Luo Yi.

After returning to HS County, Lin Yifan handed over the troops to Luo Yi to lead them.At this time, HS County gathered more than 5000 soldiers and horses from various places, of which more than 400 were brought back from Shazhou, including 2000 armored cavalry, more than 1000 horse bandit cavalry, and more than 600 slave soldiers from the Western Regions; There are [-] minzhuang trained, [-] minzhuang responsible for public security in various places, and [-] armored cavalry.

As soon as he returned to the county office, Lin Yifan held a meeting to inquire about the progress of various preparations in HS County.

First of all, Master Liu Yue reported that the work of relocating people from the county town was coming to an end. Apart from some soldiers and businessmen who were packing up their stocks, the county town was basically an empty city.Nowadays, most of the thousands of people in the county are housed in the temporarily built board houses in Heishui City. Thanks to Wang Fugui's purchase of grain and grass materials in various places in Anzhou in a short period of time, there is no shortage of materials, grain, and grass in Hengshan.There are enough supplies to distribute, enough for the immigrants to survive the whole winter safely.

Han Santie reported that the Bailongshan Iron Works made every effort to manufacture weapons and armors. At present, they have produced enough weapons to equip more than 1 people, as well as [-] sets of armors and harnesses.The craftsman workshop produced more than [-] bows and [-] arrows.The tailor workshop has sewn [-] pairs of leather armor and more than [-] sets of military uniforms.In addition, a twenty-foot-long and three-foot-high pass wall was built on the pass in the valley to the east of Heishui City.Two hundred soldiers can be stationed on the wall at one time for defense, and all the defensive equipment on it has been properly arranged.

Afterwards, everyone reported the progress of other affairs, which gave Lin Yifan the confidence to let Hengshan survive this crisis safely.Therefore, they immediately demanded that the immigrants be properly resettled, solve their current difficulties, and continue to purchase large quantities of supplies for emergencies; continue to speed up the production of weapons and armor, and strive to have all [-] soldiers and horses fully equipped. The degree of cooperation between men and horses, training to improve the combat effectiveness of all soldiers and horses; in addition to building walls for defense, a large number of outposts must be built on various hills to be responsible for scouting the enemy's situation, so as to predict the enemy ahead and make early preparations; There are pre-arranged traps and obstacles on the mountain road, which can cause trouble for the enemy at any time and achieve the effect of disturbing and exhausting the enemy. . . . .

After assigning the task, someone suddenly shouted, "Look, it's snowing!"

When everyone heard the words, they all turned their heads and looked out, only to see flakes of snow falling from the sky, falling on the eaves and among the vegetation.

Lin Yifan suddenly shuddered, his face turned pale, "It will snow in September, and the world will be in chaos. Can Hengshan really overcome the first difficulty?"
