Naturally, compared to the military advantage that the Northern Army had maintained when the Dragon Country was first established, after the War of Protecting the Country, the situation of the warlords in the provinces had become much more serious. Moreover, the Northern Army had also been eroded. Therefore, if the provincial coalition forces were to fight against the Northern Army again, it would not be easy for the Northern Army to deal with the provincial coalition forces!
Moreover, Yuan Kai's second son, Yuan Kewen, had tricked his father at this critical juncture. He had used all kinds of media to create the illusion that Fusang was strongly supporting Yuan Kai to become the emperor. This made Yuan Kai determined not to shirk his responsibility…
Of course, these were all rumors spread by the people. As for whether it was true or not, who knew!
However, in Xinghua County, which was located in the coastal area, it was still the same as usual. The morning refreshments were served one after another. The limestone road in the city seemed to have been there for thousands of years, but it was still the same. The hawkers shouted and peddled. After a while, Yuan Kai became the emperor. This big news became the topic of conversation among the ordinary people!
The Weiyang Teahouse was a two-story building. Its business should be the most prosperous in the county town. It was true. In this day and age, there would be a war on one side, and there would be a private one here. Bandits ran amok. If he woke up the next day and found that his head was still intact, it would be a blessing. Who knew when bandits would come!
"Boss Zhang, two servings of Oil Doused Noodles!”
"Alright, I'll be there soon!"
In the lively teahouse, all kinds of people were exchanging information. People from the south, the north, Beijing, Guangzhou, Tianhai, Jinling…
On the second floor, there were a few people sitting by the street. They seemed to be people from the county government. They were very young and were chatting softly. From the looks of it, they probably knew something.
"I heard that Commander Wang called the county head last night. The Lin family in Yongfeng Town seems to be in trouble!”
"I've heard about this too. It seems that he opened a few factories and the security guards are concerned about it!!”
"Don't talk about it. Last time, someone was dragged away by the security team!”
An older man stopped them. The security team had a high status in the city, and even the law enforcement team didn't dare to touch them. Even the county head had to show some respect to the leader of the security team. Furthermore, the security team had many lackeys. If they weren't careful, they would be dragged away…
"I heard that there's a military factory in Lin Family Village!!”
However, people's curiosity couldn't be rejected. When they heard the words 'military factory,' everyone's eyes widened. They couldn't believe it. Military factories should only be owned by big cities like Jinling, Tianhai, and Yanjing!
Everyone was also a little cautious. Although the words 'Don't talk about state affairs' were pasted on the walls of the teahouse, everyone was still more concerned about state affairs in private!
At this moment, the county government's county head, Shen Haowen, was also frowning. Was the Lin Family Village incident real or fake? Lin Hongyuan had some connections in Xinghua County. If it was real, it would be fine. If the military factory incident was all fake, how many big families in the county would be disappointed? At that time, everyone would talk about it. Who could stop it?!
"County Head, is there a call from Guangling?”
Guangling, the largest county town near Xinghua, used a two-level administrative system of provinces and counties during the Republic of China. Therefore, all the provinces in the country were counties. Although it was far from Guangling, the new 14th Army Division of Beiyang was stationed in Guangling. Its military strength was close to 10,000. At the same time, it was equipped with artillery, heavy machine guns, and other advanced equipment. Therefore, Guangling had a strong control over the county town under its command!
It was too easy for an infantry division of the Beiyang Army to attack a county. Therefore, all the counties strictly followed the orders of Guangling. Now that Guangling had called, Shen Haowen never doubted that Lin Hongyuan had the ability to contact the people of Guangling!
"Old Shen, this is Wu Tiancheng!"
"Mr. Wu!"
When Shen Haowen heard Wu Tiancheng's voice, he panicked. Wu Tiancheng was the most popular person in Guangling County's office. It was said that he would have a position in the next Guangling County. Although Guangling and Xinghua were both county cities, their status was completely different. The huge difference could be seen from the fact that Guangling had stationed an infantry division!
However, he was still the county head, so Shen Haowen was not afraid of Wu Tiancheng. At most, he would tell the truth. Many people could testify about the construction of the military factory in the Lin Family Village, including Lin Zhengze of the Lin Family. These were all things that were set in stone. What was there to be afraid of?!
In the end, the two of them hung up the phone with a smile. If Lin Hongyuan really had the ability to invite people from Guangling, he would not have stayed in Yongfeng Town long ago!
Of course, Lin Hongyuan didn't call Guangling at all. Although he knew a few people in Guangling, they wouldn't help him unless they had a good relationship. Wu Tiancheng, on the other hand, had a keen sense of smell. He smelled the fire in Xinghua and wanted to jump out to see if there were any benefits!
"Send a letter to Regiment Commander Wang and tell him not to meddle and to attack the Lin Family Village with all his might to avoid any trouble!!”
