Some people will always only see things from their own perspective, seeing everything in the world as dirty as themselves, or seeing everyone as having no structure like themselves.
Su Yonglin never put this three-acre area of the Southern Song Dynasty in his overall strategic plan.
In his eyes, the emperors and ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty were already withered bones in their graves.
Qin Hui died, and Zhao Gou was about to abdicate, but the impact this pair of top-quality monarchs and ministers had on the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty was almost irreversible.
The Northern Song Dynasty had the best father and son, Song Taizong and Song Zhenzong, who led the Northern Song Dynasty to lose the opportunity to become a unified dynasty and degenerate into a relatively large separatist regime.
In the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou and Qin Hui, a pair of top monarchs and ministers, once again pushed the pattern of the Northern Song Dynasty further down, turning it into a localized separatist regime.
If the Northern Song Dynasty was a second-level disability, then the Southern Song Dynasty was a high-level paraplegia.
Even if one or two strategists with strategic vision occasionally appear internally, everything will be lost in endless infighting and internal strife.
Those who have no structure will try their best to bring those who have structure to the same level as them, and then use their rich experience to defeat them.
Therefore, the Southern Song Dynasty cannot change back to the Northern Song Dynasty after all.
The Southern Song Dynasty cannot even be regarded as a strategic opponent. Its upper limit is Zhao Gou.
What kind of strategic rival is Zhao Gou?
I just don’t know how the Southern Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers would view this matter if I were lucky enough to recapture the Central Plains?
With such bad taste and small expectations, Su Yonglin headed north, braved the wind and waves, and landed from Juzhou on March 16. He led his soldiers to successfully meet Sun Ziyi and Liu Yongqiang and join forces with them.
After the meeting, Sun Ziyi and Liu Yongqiang held a reception banquet for Su Yonglin, and were very curious about his experience and aspirations.
In their view, it was really strange that Su Yonglin, a private salt dealer in the Southern Song Dynasty, was not good at selling private salt, but he abandoned his industry and got involved in such a dangerous thing like theirs.
Su Yonglin sighed repeatedly at the reception banquet and his eyes turned red.
"A real man has something to do and something not to do. My family is originally from Shandong. When I was young, my grandfather was unwilling to be humiliated by the gold thieves. He resolutely went south with the intention of counterattacking the Central Plains and driving out the gold thieves. However, the Song Dynasty had no intention of restoring the Central Plains and even killed one person. General Yue of the Northern Expedition.
My grandfather died of grief and anger. Before he died, he held my hand and said that he wanted to return to his hometown for burial and to return to his roots. But my hometown was invaded by gold thieves. If I don't go north, how can I fulfill my grandfather's wish? So I am determined. "
"I see."
Sun Ziyi and Liu Yongqiang looked at each other and nodded, feeling that it would be more reliable for them to tell this reason themselves.
Of course, that's not to say there is any suspicion. They have abandoned their family business of selling smuggled salt and are risking their lives with us, so there is no reason to doubt them.
I just simply find it strange.
Not everyone dares to take a dip in this muddy water.
This time the rebel uprising was led by Zhao Kaishan, the initiator of the uprising.
Although Su Yonglin is the youngest, he has a relatively high status because of his large investment in ordnance supplies and other reasons - everyone is a big landowner and has no shortage of money and food.
Zhao Kaishan just hoped that Su Yonglin could use his connections to get more ordnance supplies. They had plenty of money and food.
After three rounds of drinking, everyone was a little tipsy. Su Yonglin took advantage of this drunkenness to ask Sun Ziyi and Liu Yongqiang why they assisted Zhao Kaishan in the rebellion and the goals of the rebellion.
"Why? Isn't it because the gold thieves went too far? A few years ago, a Jurchen who wanted to steal moved to Mizhou, and the government robbed several of my friends' land in Mizhou for ten yuan per acre. I If those friends didn't want to, they were killed."
Sun Tzu Yi wiped his eyes, sniffed, and said with an angry look on his face: "How can you endure this bullying? If you continue to endure it, I will be the next one to be killed!"
Liu Yongqiang also nodded repeatedly, clenching his fists with red eyes, and tense muscles all over his body, like an angry bull about to charge.
"You've been bullied to the point of being bullied to the point of having surgery with your life. How can you still bear it? Even if Brother Zhao doesn't take the lead, we will rebel sooner or later!"
Su Yonglin nodded repeatedly, patted their shoulders for some comfort, and then asked, "What are your goals after the rebellion?"
"Target?"
Sun Ziyi looked at Su Yonglin.
"I just want to stop those northern barbarians from grabbing my land again!"
Liu Yongqiang slapped the table, shaking the thick wooden table.
"That's right! We want to kill them until they are afraid! We want to kill them until they are terrified and dare not come to us again to claim our land! Let them know how powerful we are!"
Su Yonglin was greatly impressed and repeatedly praised the courage of the two rebels.
The guests and hosts had a great time at the reception banquet, and everyone agreed to rest tomorrow. After that, Su Yonglin could prepare to meet with Zhao Kaishan and wait for the uprising in April.
After leaving the large living room of Jie Feng Yan, Su Yonglin returned to the residence arranged for him by Sun Ziyi.
Tonight, Su Haisheng is responsible for Su Yonglin's vigil.
"To be honest, I don't think much of this group of people."
Su Yonglin stood by the bed, took off his coat, and looked at Su Haisheng.
Su Haisheng was about to get water for Su Yonglin to wash his face when he was stunned when he heard this.
"Why did Alang say that?"
"Haisheng, haven't you noticed that they don't have a clear goal at all?"
"this……"
Recalling everything that happened at the reception banquet, Su Haisheng thought about it using the thinking taught by Su Yonglin, and really found that Sun Ziyi and Liu Yongqiang did not talk about future development at all.
"They just started the uprising because they were forced to have no choice but to protect their ancestral property. The goal was to prevent the Jin people from threatening their ancestral property. But how to do this? They only thought that killing people would be enough. There was no clear idea. Planning, this is the same for Zhao Kaishan.”
Su Yonglin recalled the meeting at sea with Zhao Kaishan a year ago.
Zhao Kaishan was forced to decide to revolt because of his simple emotions and the fact that he was forced to go to Liangshan. He could only see the present but could not see the future.
He did not realize the consequences of his uprising at all, and naturally he did not consider the consequences.
At the moment, they don't know whether their uprising will succeed or whether it will be brutally suppressed just after it was launched.
Su Yonglin didn't say anything at that time. Later, he became more and more convinced that the Jin people in Shandong were very weak in combat effectiveness, so he felt that he had to plan for the future.
He wrote to Zhao Kaishan several times, asking Zhao Kaishan to make more long-term plans, but Zhao Kaishan didn't care much about this kind of thing, thinking that it would be a matter of course, and he could just go wherever he went.
This is not a good phenomenon.
"Alang, what should we do?"
Su Haisheng remembered the clear goal that Su Yonglin had planned for them to expel the Jin people and regain the Central Plains to establish an ideal country.
He really wanted to believe it and believed in Su Yonglin's several-step strategy, but he ignored a very important issue - not everyone has the same clear strategic plan as Su Yonglin.
"What else can we do? Just take it one step at a time."
Su Yonglin sighed: "Right now, they just want to keep their ancestral property and have no bigger ideas. If I tell them that kind of thing, they will just think I'm joking and won't believe me at all. They're not like you and me. For so many years.
But once the uprising develops to that point, with hundreds of thousands of people and millions of people following it, it is impossible for them not to imagine how to take the future. It is also difficult to stop, and once it stops, it will really It's over. "
After a pause, Su Yonglin was a little worried again.
"That's what I say, but their own limitations are too great. Once we make a name for ourselves in Shandong, there will definitely be problems. Shandong can only attack, not defend."
Su Haisheng thought about it and thought so.
"Although our goal is indeed very ambitious, I believe it, Alang. I believe in you. It is because we believe in you that our brothers came to the north together."
There was light in Su Haisheng's eyes, it was fire, the kind of fire that would not go out even in desperate situations, but would burn stronger and stronger until it burned itself out.
Seeing the fire, Su Yonglin was very satisfied.
There is nothing wrong with his political thinking. At least, his headquarters still believe in him and he has goals and ideals.
Then, next, we must find ways to strengthen our team during the window period when the team is rapidly expanding, so that there will be more people with goals and ideals and stronger strength.
Who says a single spark cannot start a prairie fire?
