Regarding Chu Liangyi's request, Lin Hongfei responded: "Even if you don't say it, I will take it down as soon as possible in Huaishui County."

"There are five areas in Lingnan Province, namely Jiangbei, Lingzhong, Lingxi, Beishan and Dongjiang."

"While Huaishui County intersects the three areas of Lingzhong, Lingxi and Dongjiang, this will be our bridgehead for the other three areas."

"Lingxi and Lingzhong areas, this will be the best raw material production place for our future development of the steel industry."

Speaking of this, Lin Hongfei looked at the reserve and said, "Since Huaishui County has become such a chaos now, don't let the bad people suffer anymore."

"Tomorrow, a combat meeting to attack Huaishui County will be held. You will be responsible for formulating the combat plan. If the plan is right, then implement it as soon as possible!"

Hearing this, Chu Liangyi smiled from the bottom of his heart: "Okay, I will also formulate a combat plan even if I don't sleep tonight."

After Chu Liangyi left excitedly, Lin Hongfei stood up and stood in front of the map of Lingnan Province, his eyes staying in the Jiangbei area.

After Lin Hongfei was promoted to the Jiangbei Guardian, people from Songshan County, Renle County and Hui County could see clearly that in the future, Lin Hongfei would be the boss in the Jiangbei area.

Therefore, Lin Hongfei did not send anyone to summon him, and the real power figures from the three counties took the initiative to run to Jiangdu County to show their loyalty to Lin Hongfei, so as not to follow up with Lin Hongfei's troops, and people would not allow you to surrender.

It’s better to take the initiative and go over and surrender earlier, so that you can still maintain your status in the three counties.

Moreover, these people sent many family members to Jiangdu County, hoping to serve under Lin Hongfei's command and seek the identity of a minister who followed the dragon.

Although Lin Hongfei did not refuse, he did not trust this group of children from a large family very much.

So, after these people came to Jiangdu County, Lin Hongfei just arranged some idle chores for them to test their abilities.

As for the children of some large families who proposed to join the army, Lin Hongfei directly refused.

It’s okay to let these big families get involved in some administrative powers.

As for military power, don’t even think about it!

The army is Lin Hongfei's lifeblood. He can only recruit the lowest-level people, so that he can avoid being secretly controlled by the local big family.

This is also why Lin Hongfei has arrived in Lingnan Province but still wants to recruit soldiers in Hebei and Shandong.

Unless the children of the local big family can come up with a sufficient amount of vote, perhaps Lin Hongfei will also consider recruiting them to the army for work.

There are now four counties under the control of Lin Hongfei in the seven counties and one water in the Jiangbei region.

Huaishui County will be included in Lin Hongfei's sphere of influence as its next target.

Now, only Bei'an County is left, and Pingcheng County is still lukewarm in the Jiangbei garrison.

Unlike the four counties with many mountains and few lands, Bei'an and Pingcheng are considered to be one of the most numerous agricultural counties in the entire Lingnan Province.

Bei'an and Pingcheng are adjacent to it. The mountainous areas in the territory are gentle and the soil quality is better than other areas in Jiangbei.

Therefore, although it is not as rich as Jiangdu, which guards Lianggang and coal mines, it is far ahead of other counties in terms of grain output.

With more food, the population will naturally be raised.

The population of Bei'an alone is comparable to the sum of the population of Songshan and Renyi counties.

Naturally, the local militia and rural brave forces are also quite large.

In addition, in Bei'an, Pingcheng and Jiangdu are not bordered by Jiangdu, and there are three counties between Songshan, Renyi and Huixian, so they don't know much about Lin Hongfei's power.

Therefore, I was naturally very unaware of Lin Hongfei, the commander of Jiangbei, and I was too lazy to even send someone to congratulate me on the surface.

Lin Hongfei was not angry about this, but was quite happy. After all, if Bei'an and Pingcheng counties were very polite and respectful to him, Lin Hongfei would really not be able to find excuses to pick them up.

But now, since you are so disrespectful, what else can you say?

Lin Hongfei had long wanted to hold these two agricultural and large-capacity counties!

At this time, the door was slowly pushed open, and Li Kui walked in and reminded: "County magistrate, it's almost time, it's time for you to go to the construction site to inspect!"

Lin Hongfei turned around and nodded: "Yes, okay!"

Immediately, Lin Hongfei took the top hat on the table and a pair of round sunglasses, and walked out of the county government.

At this time, the guards had already been waiting for the horse. Lin Hongfei turned over and stepped onto the white horse and galloped towards the construction site with a group of followers.

The renovation of the coal mine, the construction of the printing and dyeing factory, and the cotton spinning mill are progressing very smoothly, and the project speed is far beyond the planned time.

The reason is simple. It is not that anyone has thousands of young and strong captive workers under his command.

The ordinary people hired by Lin Hongfei from the local area still have time to rest, but these captive workers are just working from the day before dawn to the sun set. There is no room for rest except for the time of meals.

At this time, the factory building had been topped off and the interior decoration was also underway. In order to ensure the normal operation of these two factories, Lin Hongfei built a small thermal power station near the coal mine to supply the power needs of the factory and coal mine.

After these large projects were built, they almost consumed the working capital Lin Hongfei had on hand.

Fortunately, he still has a lot of savings, and he has accumulated a lot of real money and silver at hand, which can be exchanged for cash, so there is no embarrassment of breaking the capital chain and not having money in his pocket.

But these investments are worth it. Once the factory is built and operated, it will take less than two years to make all these investments back.

Just as Lin Hongfei was about to go to the coal mine for inspection, a communications soldier brought a message that made him nervous:

"County magistrate, I received news from the Army Department."

"The direct line of the Marshal Cao and the Fengtian clan Zhang formed an alliance. They are going to rebel against Marshal Duan!"

"hiss!"

"The big one is finally coming!"

Lin Hongfei's expression immediately became serious!

The conflict between Zhi and Anhui was completely clear. According to Lin Hongfei's memory, after this war, the Anhui faction was defeated by the Zhi and Feng coalition forces, and the Anhui leader, the Anhui faction General, was forced to step down, and a large number of Anhui faction backbones fled to Japan.

Subsequently, the leader of the Zhili Army, Cao Dashui was appointed as the inspector of the three provinces of Zhili Army, Shandong and Henan, and Wu Ziyu served as the deputy envoy of the inspection, ranking second in the Zhili Army.

Lin Hongfei started out as a patrolman and was at the high position of Jiangbei Governor, relying on the support of two Anhui generals, Qian Minghe and Chen Fengchang.

Therefore, Lin Hongfei, the Jiangbei Guardian who was less than 30 years old, has been regarded as a rising star in the Anhui clan by Beiyang.
