Army training continued, and the whole plan for the uprising continued to advance.
At the end of March, Zhao Kaishan and others completed the final contact and finalized all the details. Some uprising materials that were difficult to obtain were gradually put in place, and preparations for the uprising were gradually improved.
Zhao Kaishan was busy making preparations, arranging officers and logistics managers, placing his relatives, friends and confidants in key positions one by one to ensure his absolute command over the army, and then planning how to expand his strength after occupying the city. .
When everything was done, he finally remembered that Su Yonglin was still training.
It is said that we want to train elite soldiers. From him, we have to get three meals a day and one meal of meat every five days. If the soldiers are well trained, they will be fine. If they are not well trained, then they really have to talk about it carefully. .
However, the people under Su Yonglin who were doing intelligence work were good, and they repeatedly sent him information on the movements of several nearby state capitals, especially the General Military Department of Yidu Prefecture, which was very meaningful.
Private salt dealers are good at collecting information.
Zhao Kaishan sighed.
If Su Yonglin was not a talented soldier, he would be good for gathering intelligence. As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will never slack off in a hundred battles.
So he asked someone to notify Su Yonglin, saying that he was going to "inspect" how Su Yonglin's military training was going.
When Su Yonglin received the notice, he released the news to everyone, letting everyone know that the commander-in-chief was coming to inspect, and everyone was prepared to "report the performance".
When Zhao Kaishan arrived at the military camp, Su Yonglin and several guards stood at the gate of the camp to greet Zhao Kaishan personally.
"Hahahaha, dear brother, how are you doing lately? I haven't seen you for a while."
Su Yonglin still had the same charming smile.
"It's fine. It's delicious. We can eat every meal. It's all thanks to brother for giving us so much food."
"What if my dear brother can become an elite soldier and have better food?"
Zhao Kaishan laughed and entered the camp with Su Yonglin.
Su Yonglin fell slightly behind Zhao Kaishan.
"I am very grateful that my brother can trust me and give me so much food for me to train my troops. Therefore, I have been working hard these days, fearing that I will betray my brother's trust and waste all his good intentions."
Su Yonglin's words made Zhao Kaishan very happy.
So he stopped and patted Su Yonglin on the shoulder.
"Brother, don't have these worries. We are all rebelling for the first time. It's not surprising that we did something wrong without experience. Your brother doesn't have much else here, but there is a lot of food. With just food, brother can still satisfy you! "
Su Yonglin looked very moved.
"Thank you brother, brother, please!"
Zhao Kaishan laughed and followed Su Yonglin to the big playground. When he saw a thousand soldiers in uniform, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Brother Xian, this... looks a bit cool."
Zhao Kaishan walked forward with great interest, looked left and right, and felt that this military appearance looked so comfortable.
I walked to the left corner and looked over, drinking. Everyone was on the same line.
Turn it up and look again, hey, it's still a line.
That……
Look at it sideways, oh, it’s still a line!
This queue is really impressive, and this person is standing in an impressive manner.
All of them held their chests high and their heads high, looking straight ahead, as if there was nowhere to look but the front.
"Brother Xian, you are a well-trained soldier!"
Zhao Kaishan looked left and right and felt happy, even a little surprised.
Zhao Kaishan did not expect that Su Yonglin could train his troops into such a neat appearance in just over ten days.
Su Yonglin just smiled.
"When an infantry fights, the most important thing is military formations, the art of military formations, and the most important thing is formations. Therefore, the most important thing in training is to train formations. It is such a basic thing. Now we have just laid the foundation to make it look like something. , It’s really useless on the battlefield.”
"A good brother should not underestimate himself."
Zhao Kaishan walked around and made straight lines to the soldiers' queue. The more he drew, the more energetic he became. He smiled and said: "I have never seen such a queue in the Jin soldiers. Every one of them is crooked and cracked." Looks like, hum!”
"Isn't that the best thing?"
Su Yonglin chuckled.
Zhao Kaishan nodded repeatedly, looked at it for a while, and then asked curiously: "Brother, can you practice the military formation for me to see?"
"I'm afraid I'm going to make my brother laugh."
"It only takes a few days to practice and you can look good. Although brother, I have never led a soldier, but I know that it is not easy to train an elite soldier. You are so capable, brother. It's too late to be happy for me. How can I laugh at you? "
So under Zhao Kaishan's instigation, Su Yonglin personally waved the order flag and asked the drummer to beat the drum to deliver the military order, so that the soldiers could execute the order under the leadership of the officer.
It certainly lived up to expectations, as a few phalanxes managed to mess up the queue without reacting.
Zhao Kaishan was very satisfied. He patted Su Yonglin on the shoulder and praised him for his good military training. He also announced in public that he would send some meat to reward everyone, which caused a burst of cheers.
After the inspection, Su Yonglin sent Zhao Kaishan away from the military training camp, and Zhao Kaishan explained important matters to him.
"My good brother has successfully trained his troops, and I am more confident about this incident. Now our brothers in the three states are almost ready. We have agreed on a date. When the date comes, we will take action together and directly occupy the three states. , Brother Xian, we must also hurry up."
Su Yonglin nodded.
"Brother, don't worry. As long as my brother gives the order, I will attack immediately without any delay. Brother, don't worry about me. I will try my best to capture the city."
"That's good, by the way, there's more."
Zhao Kaishan lowered his voice and whispered: "Brother Xian, if the uprising in the three states goes well, I want to develop in the Jinan area. There are many people and wealth there, and we can be stronger. What do you think, brother Xian? We can develop there. ?"
Su Yonglin looked at Zhao Kaishan and found that he seemed a little anxious.
But when I think about it, I think it's normal. After all, it's a rebellion. Who wouldn't feel anxious if someone accidentally kills everyone?
This is a good thing, after all, Zhao Kaishan finally started thinking about the future direction.
"Of course it is possible. Although Jinan Prefecture is not the seat of Shandong East Road, it is still an important area. That area is rich in population and relatively wealthy. If we occupy it, we can obtain more supplies and make us stronger."
"That's natural, natural."
Zhao Kaishan nodded, walked a few steps, suddenly stopped, turned around and held Su Yonglin's hand tightly.
"Brother Xian, tell me, if we get into trouble, will we fight alone? Will there be allies to help us?"
Su Yonglin looked at the slightly hesitant expression on Zhao Kaishan's face and immediately laughed.
"Brother, don't worry, Jin Ting's rebellious behavior will not last for a day or two. As long as we win a few battles here, it will definitely greatly inspire people with lofty ideals in Shandong and even the entire Central Plains. When the time comes, they will rise up to help us deal with the Jin people. We will definitely I won’t fight alone.”
Su Yonglin held Zhao Kaishan's hand and encouraged him.
Zhao Kaishan looked at Su Yonglin's firm expression, relaxed slightly, then pursed his lips and nodded.
"With these words from my dear brother, I feel more relaxed as a brother. Okay, dear brother, let's make a decision like this. We will depend on each other for life and death, and we will never abandon you!"
"We depend on each other for life and death, and we will never abandon you!"
Su Yonglin and Zhao Kaishan made an oath together.
After seeing off Zhao Kaishan, Su Yonglin was silent for a while and asked someone to call Su Yin, who had just returned from Yidu Mansion, to his side.
"We can't fight alone in our rebellion. We must make full use of the internal contradictions in the Jin Kingdom. We can only rely on ourselves. Time is too tight and our strength is too weak."
Su Yin blinked.
"Alang, what do you mean, we want to contact the Khitan people?"
"Yes, we must have contact with the Khitan people. Let the Khitan people know that our fight here is prosperous and impressive. In addition, not only the Khitan people, but also the entire Central Plains, I don't believe that there is no feeling for the Jin people. Hated tyranny.
Once we gain a foothold in Shandong, Ayin, I want you to sneak into Henan and Hebei, widely spread the news of our uprising in Henan and Hebei, and then go to Yanyun to find the Khitan people and spread the news of the uprising in Shandong. Let the Khitans know. "
Su Yonglin took a deep breath and said: "We want to fight here, and we also need to publicize it there. If we achieve a victory, we must publicize it with great momentum! The more people know, the more people will rebel, and the rebels will The more people there are, the greater our winning rate will be!”
Su Yin immediately understood what Su Yonglin meant.
"So, Ayin, I will arrange more manpower for you. You must seize the time to train them. When the time comes, you must immediately go north and send the news to all places at all costs!"
"Here!"
Su Yin knelt down on one knee.
The Great Revolt is just around the corner and time is running out.
Su Yonglin stepped up his military training, personally supervising it every day, and even cut down on literacy classes to intensify his military training and increase the amount of training.
"Don't think I'm torturing you. You will eventually go to the battlefield. On the battlefield, the enemy will not give you a chance to breathe. They will only try their best to kill you! Take a few more breaths and let out a few drops now. Khan, you can only survive on the battlefield!"
Su Yonglin looked at the officers and soldiers who were slacking off because of Zhao Kaishan's reward, and reprimanded them with such hatred.
"My parents are gone, so I regard you as my brothers and my family. I hope you can all live, understand? I want you all alive! I don't want to see you leave me one after another after a big war. Go away! I want you all to live well!"
After Su Yonglin's reprimand, the atmosphere in the training camp began to become tense. Everyone looked solemn, a little less frivolous and more solemn. Even Su Yong could no longer tell dirty jokes.
The dense war clouds in the sky were slowly approaching their heads, and the tension before the war began swept through everyone's hearts.
On the early morning of the sixth day of April in the twenty-eighth year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhao Kaishan sent someone to inform Su Yonglin that he had successfully invited the Yizhou defense envoy to his home and that an uprising was imminent.
If everything goes well, the official uprising will begin in the afternoon.
If things go more smoothly, Zhao Kaishan will be able to sleep in Linyi County tonight.
