At the end of the twelfth lunar month of 1916, the seemingly peaceful county town was actually in turmoil. The Lin and Yao families were in power, and it seemed that the two of them were working together to stir up chaos in Xinghua County Town. The county government was even more anxious. Everyone knew that Shen Haoran and Wang Quan were in cahoots. Now, the former head of the security corps, Wang Quan, was missing. Shen Haoran was naturally alone. He was naturally worried that this would not take away the money and gold bars he had saved up. All of them were brought to his house, worth about 600,000 dollars!
Like now, Shen Haoran locked himself in his room and stared blankly at the money and gold bars. With these 600,000 yuan, he would be able to have fun wherever he went. He had to leave. In two days, he had to leave this county…
His eyes were filled with greed. Shen Haoran touched the silver ocean and felt much more at ease. He wanted to go to Tianhai. That was the territory of the foreigners. Who could control him?!
At this moment, a few people had already surrounded the county town. In the night, the patrol company that rushed over from Yongfeng Town had already received Lin Zefan's order to secretly put Shen Haoran under house arrest and strictly restrict the county head's freedom of movement!!
Lin Zefan could guess that this county head was very likely to escape from Xinghua. Shen Haoran's actions over the past few days had already proved that Lin Zefan's guess was right. A large amount of funds had been withdrawn, completely proving that Shen Haoran was going to escape!
At eight o'clock in the morning on the 9th of January, a shocking piece of news spread throughout the county town. The former county head, Shen Haoran, had hanged himself at home. At the same time, before he died, he confessed his crimes over the years, his various power and wealth transactions with the original security regiment, and even the current benefit-sharing parties of the county government!!
With such behavior, it was unknown if the damn county head was out of his mind. In an instant, Xinghua County had entered a state of chaos. The county head was dead, and the people in the county government were probably panicking…
It was unknown who suggested that the newly formed militia should temporarily take over the management of the county. After all, this was the largest military force in Xinghua County. If there was a riot in the county, the strength of the militia could suppress it one by one. This was also a good thing for the people!
Of course, no one said much about Shen Haoran's death. Although Shen Haoran was not as angry as Wang Quan, his reputation was not good either. Moreover, he had his own dark history. Many people knew that Shen Haoran's death was probably related to the new leader of the Lin Family Village militia!
The sky of Xinghua County was definitely going to change!!!
On the afternoon of the 9th of January, at two o'clock in the afternoon, in Lin Manor, the 2nd Company, 3rd Company, and 1st Company of the 1st Infantry Battalion had already secretly entered the county and surrounded the entire county government…They were temporarily responsible for stabilizing the county!!
"Battalion Commander, all the towns and villages have joined forces to let our militia take over the county immediately and stabilize the situation. At the same time, we have to clean up all the vermin in the county government.!”
After experiencing the battle of the security regiment, these new recruits had grown up. Although some of the new recruits with low psychological defenses couldn't even hold their guns tightly and might have the thought of retreating in battle, these were things that normal people should have. Therefore, Lin Zefan didn't treat them too strictly. On the contrary, he gave them some guidance in detail...
As time passed, Lin Zefan's personal prestige became stronger. However, this kind of thing was impossible to resist. Lin Zefan had almost changed the appearance of the Lin Family Village with his own strength. All kinds of methods and schemes were even more admirable. Most importantly, he had a patriotic heart and placed the lowest level of the people together. Such a method was already worthy of his respect and compliance!!
A 400-man infantry battalion and a military factory would occupy a county city. Whether it was public or private, they should be Lin Zefan's meat on the chopping board. After obtaining the county city, he would be able to develop rapidly with the strength of a county city. He would be able to open up the north-south passage, expand the military, factories, commerce, and political power!!
Lin Zefan naturally knew the various benefits of occupying the county. Just the population of Xinghua County alone was close to 500,000, which could provide a large number of laborers, a source of soldiers... and land, mineral resources, transportation, and markets!!
Since everyone was recommending it, it was fortunate that he took a step forward. In any case, the condition for the next advancement of the civilization competition machine was the state and county level. According to Lin Zefan's guess, he had to at least conquer Yangzhou City...
"Order the Infantry Company One and Infantry Company Two to immediately march into Xinghua County. Try to control the entire county before dark.!”
"Let's go!"
Lin Zefan waved his hand in high spirits.!
