This group of Jin people is really very different from the Jin people I encountered before.
Su Yonglin later wondered whether this group of Jin people had just migrated from the Northeast. Among them were even veterans who had recently retired and had not yet had time to fall like the other Jin people.
After the war, a count showed that a total of 187 Jin people were killed, and 356 Jin people were left alive and captured.
The Jin people captured by the rebels were all women, children, and slaves. There were no soldiers who could fight. All adult men and even men of a certain height had died in the battle.
This time, the number of casualties in the rebel battle was the highest in a single battle since the war began, and it also took the longest time.
However, after the war, Su Yonglin did not stop, and did not stop to reprimand them for their mistakes as the officers thought.
Like the other three villages, after leaving some people to guard the prisoners and summoning the villagers to deal with the Jin people, Su Yonglin immediately organized the army and led the main force to march non-stop to the next village.
He felt as if he had developed a feeling and commanded a little bit of feeling.
The feeling of using war drums to convey his orders to direct the troops to form and advance in a state of emergency. It felt like he was holding a sword in his hand and slashing forward, which gave him a strange feeling.
It's like entering a quick channel for killing monsters and upgrading.
Su Yonglin felt that he had some experience in attacking villages with simple defenses, and his command skills were also improving.
This feeling must be maintained.
The summary of the battlefield can wait until night, but the fighter plane cannot be lost.
So he immediately led the main force to the next Jin village that needed to be attacked.
But he never met anyone as brave as the golden man in this village who fought to the last breath.
In the next more than two hours, he led the rebel army to work hard and non-stop to attack four villages not far from each other, killing more than 300 Jin people and capturing all the remaining ones alive.
Because they all used their own men to attack, Zhao Yucheng's troops became foils and spectators. When Su Yonglin and his troops were too tired to fight anymore, Zhao Yucheng's troops still retained their physical strength.
But Zhao Yucheng didn't dare to say a word - Su Yonglin commanded the army to fight more smoothly and skillfully, which amazed him.
The same drums, the same horn, the only difference is the short and long sound, the only difference is the drumbeat, with a slight change, the soldiers trained by Su Yonglin himself can change their state according to these sounds.
Either form a formation, or disperse, or advance, or retreat, or stand still, or attack and advance.
Su Yonglin was in the military formation. He commanded the military formation as if he was swinging his own arms, attacking four villages in a row.
so amazing.
Zhao Yucheng was now particularly grateful to Zhao Kaishan for assigning him to Su Yonglin's command, so that he could witness the birth of an elite army with his own eyes.
When Su Yonglin could no longer attack, there were only four villages left that had not yet been conquered, and Zhao Yucheng finally found a chance to perform.
"Uncle Yuting, leave the remaining four villages to me. I will lead the troops to fight. It is you who are fighting all the time. I am watching from the sidelines. My army is not tired."
Su Yonglin looked at Zhao Yucheng with glaring eyes and saw that he was full of energy like an aggressive little lion, and nodded.
"You are the commander-in-chief. You cannot underestimate the enemy and advance rashly. You need to command the army to attack and advance and stay with the main force. If you do this, I will trust you."
"Here!"
Zhao Yucheng cupped his fists and saluted Su Yonglin.
Then he turned around and left, lit his troops and horses, and led the troops away at dusk to attack the remaining four villages.
"Alang, what did Zhao Yucheng do?"
Su Jue gasped and sat next to Su Yonglin, looking at Zhao Yucheng who was walking away.
"Leave the remaining four villages to him. We will definitely not be able to attack them today. We need to let the soldiers rest and have a good rest."
"That's fine."
Su Jue breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed his body, and suddenly felt fatigue coming over him like a tide.
The other soldiers, like Su Jue, felt extremely tired. Fortunately, they got a chance to breathe.
But Su Yonglin didn't let them rest immediately, they still had things to do.
All the captured Jin people were paraded through the streets in accordance with the established rules, and the farmers were mobilized to vent their anger. Then these people were handed over to the farmers in the local village Mopan Village for execution.
The scene was very intense. Once the farmers' long-suppressed anger broke out, they could not suppress it. It was like a volcano erupting, completely swallowing up the Jin people.
Su Yonglin led the rebels to ensure the safety of the villagers, and then urged local farmers to establish farmers' associations and villagers' self-defense forces to manage the distribution of land for them.
The truth is actually that simple, and there are only so many things that need to be done.
To mobilize and organize farmers, we must stand with the farmers and fight with them, instead of helping them do everything they should and should not do.
Arouse their emotions and encourage them to stand with the rebels completely and actively provide various help to the rebels. Otherwise, when the Jin army comes back and the war goes unfavorable, these farmers will sit back and watch, and the rebels will be in a very difficult situation.
The rebel army is still very weak, and they must win over all the farmers, who account for a large proportion of the population.
Once the farmers side with the rebels, the offensive and defensive dynamics between the enemy and ourselves will undergo a fundamental change.
Then the Kingdom of Jin will be finished even faster.
Everything was the same as what had happened in every village before.
They are also human beings, and they also have anger. Although they are usually afraid, there is anger hidden in fear. When the anger is brought out and completely vented, the situation is completely different.
Under the guidance of Su Yonglin, the villagers of Mopan Village successfully formed a farmers' association and established a villagers' self-defense force, and everything was in order.
Then they began to divide the land, and each household was distributed land according to the amount of labor force. The widows and widows and lonely families could receive priority care. Everything was fair and open, and there was no shady story.
They finally had land, the coveted means of production.
On one side, the villagers rushed to tell each other about their land ownership. On the other side, Su Yonglin held a military meeting and invited all officers to participate.
"You should know what I'm going to say."
Su Yonglin glanced seriously at the officers sitting cross-legged on the ground.
Upon hearing this, the officers lowered their heads one after another, not daring to look directly at Su Yonglin.
"I know that the training time is not enough, so it is difficult for you to be fully familiar with the orders. The battlefield is so tense, and it is not that simple to remind you of the training you have received. However, since you have received the training, you cannot forget it!"
Su Yonglin said angrily: "When you attacked that village today, you immediately messed up your position. Especially after you broke into the village, your formation was not maintained at all. What was everyone scrambling for? To snatch the spoils?
More than twenty days of non-stop training, is it all in vain? Can't even hold the most basic queue? On the battlefield, you couldn't control your subordinates and caused them to mess up their formation. You even took the lead in messing up the formation yourself and took the lead in charging in!
Eighteen brothers died because of your incompetence! This is a battlefield! On the battlefield, military formation is the life of the infantry! The reason why you are officers is to control your subordinates on the battlefield! Otherwise, what use would I have for an officer? "
The officers were so scolded by Su Yonglin that they could not even lift their heads, and the joy of successive victories disappeared without a trace.
"What we are facing now is not the regular army of the Golden Thieves. It is just a little more difficult and you can mess up the formation. If we encounter the truly elite Golden Army, should we continue to fight this battle? We might as well just fight like the ones from back then. The Song army was defeated thousands of miles away."
Su Yonglin pointed to the south: "But they have the Yangtze River, and they still have half of the country. Back then, there were Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, and those who dared to fight came forward! What do we have? The Yellow River has changed its course, and there is no Yellow River in front of us. Jin The thief's journey south is unimpeded!
We can't fail. The gold thief can fail countless times, because their family has a big business. The death of one or two hundred people is the same as scratching an itch, but we can't afford to lose even once, not even once! If we lose once, we're doomed! So we can only keep winning! "
Having said this, Su Yonglin took a few deep breaths.
There was silence between the small world and the earth, and the officers did not even dare to breathe loudly.
After a while, Su Yonglin calmed down and sat down cross-legged.
"Of course, I also made mistakes. I am the supreme commander. If I can convey instructions to you in a more timely manner, maybe you can react faster. If there is a problem on the battlefield, the first person to be held accountable must be the supreme commander. I admit my mistake to all of you."
Su Yonglin lowered his head, took a deep breath, raised his head, and looked at the pair of shining eyes illuminated by the firelight.
"Right is right, and wrong is wrong. My untimely response caused your untimely response, which in turn caused the entire army's formation to become chaotic. This is the experience and lesson we need to learn from this battle. We must learn from it. Precept, the military formation must not be chaotic."
"Here."
The young officers looked at Su Yonglin with burning eyes.
"Our mission is just to clear out the villages. At present, our mission is basically completed. It should not be difficult for the other brothers to capture the remaining four villages, so it depends on whether General Zhao can capture the county seat of Feixian in time. .
Once the county seat is captured, we will wipe out the entire gold thief force in Yizhou. Next, we must prepare for the next step. But before that, the most important thing must be to recruit troops and expand our strength.
I ask you to mobilize the peasants, establish peasant associations, distribute land, and make the peasants sympathize with our army. This is to prepare for conscription. When the situation stabilizes a little, we will recruit more soldiers from the villages. You must do a good job of leading more troops. Preparation for multiple troops. "
"Here!"
The officers cheered and responded in unison.
Before resting in the evening, Wang Dahu, president of the Mopan Village Farmers' Association, led a group of villagers to prepare some hot steamed buns and hot soup and sent them to Su Yonglin for him and the rebel soldiers to eat. He also invited Su Yonglin and the rebel soldiers to live in the village so that they could free up some. room.
"No need. Although the gold thief's village has been destroyed a lot, it is still habitable and the food... we will accept it."
Su Yonglin smiled and accepted the food. As for living in the village, Su Yonglin refused.
He has very strict requirements for military discipline in the army. He is not allowed to go to civilian living areas without permission, and is not allowed to enter houses or accept gifts without permission. Once discovered, he will be severely punished according to military law.
This gave people in Mopan Village a good impression.
Wang Dahu smiled and brought three steamed buns and a bowl of soup to Su Yonglin.
"Su Lang gave us the land and gave us so many things. We feel a little bit sorry."
Su Yonglin smiled and shook his head.
"Nothing to regret. The land should have been yours. It was just taken away by the Jin people. Now that the rebels are here, you should divide the land, organize the villagers' self-defense forces, protect yourselves, and live a good life. As for future taxes, Let’s talk about things like that after the situation calms down.”
"Why!"
Wang Dahu nodded, and after a while, he asked worriedly: "Will the army leave?"
"You're asking where we will go next?"
"Yes, I wonder where the army will go to fight the gold thieves after they defeat them?"
"For the time being, we need to reorganize the army for a while, and then we should continue to go north to fight against the gold thieves. Our goal is to drive the gold thieves out of the Central Plains."
"Oh, in this case... we will definitely win, right?"
Seeing Wang Dahu's twinkling eyes, Su Yonglin still smiled.
Of course they will be worried.
They also had a share in killing the Jin people. They cut off the Jin people's heads when their heads were hot. If the Jin people came to investigate and accuse them, they would not get any favors just like the rebels. If they want to continue to live, they can only look forward to the rebels. A big win.
Of course, just hoping doesn't work.
"Instead of being afraid, why not take action and join the rebels to fight together? With more strength, the rebels are more likely to win, and the more they can hold on to the land they finally obtained. The rebels are not the official army, they are us farmers. own army."
This was the first time Su Yonglin mentioned this concept to the outside world.
He really didn't think of this key point before.
However, out of concern for their own interests, farmers naturally sought psychological comfort from Su Yonglin. They may have hoped that Su Yonglin would provide them with protection.
But, the rebels can't take care of everything for you.
You have to protect your own things by yourself.
Su Yonglin immediately thought of the key point of expanding the army and strengthening the foundation.
"The peasants' own army?"
Wang Dahu blinked his eyes, his eyes full of confusion, as if he had heard something incredible and couldn't react.
When did the army become the army of farmers?
Aren't the officers and soldiers just like bandits, evil spirits who wantonly bully and rob farmers?
Can we still have our own officers and soldiers?
The kind that supports us and calls the shots?
is it possible?
Wang Dahu felt that he couldn't understand.
Su Yonglin became happy and reached out to pat Wang Dahu on the shoulder.
"Yes, our farmers' own army, joined by farmers, composed of farmers, fighting for our farmers' land, for our farmers to have a full meal, except for normal land taxes, abolish all exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes! Our army is for this purpose war!"
Wang Dahu was completely confused.
His confusion didn't matter, Su Yonglin thought of the key points of the propaganda.
No matter what others say, he and his rebels will always stand with the farmers.
The farmers were the foundation of his rebellion and his only support for overthrowing the Jin Empire.
He wants to gain the support of farmers, organize them, and gather them into a huge force to smash this old and corrupt world.
