In the early morning of the next day, Su Yonglin learned that the county seat of Feixian County had been captured. Zhao Kaishan was reorganizing the city and asked Su Yonglin to temporarily garrison the village and wait for his orders.
Soon after, Su Yonglin received news from Zhao Yucheng, saying that he had been fighting hard and had successfully broken through the four Jin villages and killed all the Jin people.
But his own losses were not small, nearly a hundred people were killed in the battle, and many were injured.
Zhao Yucheng is currently stationed in Laozhuang Village, northeast of Mopan Village. He asked Su Yonglin what to do next.
What’s next?
Su Yonglin ordered Zhao Yucheng to lead his army back to Mopan Village to move closer to him.
Then he will send working groups to work in the villages rescued by Zhao Yucheng, divide the land, establish farmers' associations, organize farmers, etc. There is a lot of work to be done.
He can temporarily abandon the county seat, but he must occupy the rural areas.
After the order was sent out, Su Yonglin once again summoned all the officers around him and held a work meeting. At the meeting, he explained that he would define the Su Family Rebel Army as an army of farmers.
A group of officers below looked at Su Yonglin differently.
Su Yong raised his hand.
"Alang, peasant army...what does this mean?"
"What are we doing here in the north?"
Su Yonglin asked.
"Overthrow the Jin Kingdom, seize back the Central Plains, then turn around and deal with the Southern Song Dynasty, and help those poor people."
Su Yong answered honestly.
"So, the purpose of our going north is to make the farmers' lives less miserable. In this case, of course we are the farmers' army and stand with the farmers."
"So? What to do?"
Su Yong asked further.
"It's very simple, Ayong. You should still remember that the officers and soldiers we saw in the Southern Song Dynasty bullied the farmers and plundered them wantonly, right?"
"right."
"So, we must be the army of farmers, speak for farmers, and support farmers. If someone hurts farmers and wants to seize their land and food, we must stand up and protect farmers. This is the army of farmers."
Su Yong blinked and didn't react for a long time.
Tian Guizi was the first to react. He raised his hand and asked, "Alang, do you mean that we have allocated those lands to farmers for farming now. If someone wants to snatch their land and turn them into tenants, , we have to stand up and stop this kind of thing?"
"right!"
Su Yonglin pointed at Tian Guizi: "That's it. Every time we capture a village, we must tell them that we are the peasants' army. We protect the peasants, support the peasants, and speak for the peasants. We must not sit idly by and ignore anyone who bullies the peasants. "
Su Yonglin pointed at the guide.
"When we were still in the Southern Song Dynasty, we had no hope in our hearts. We hoped that when we were bullied, someone would stand up and seek justice for us. But it is a pity that no one from the officialdom stood up and helped us. Justice.
So, like me, you are all forced to leave the land, leave your hometown, sell smuggled salt on the sea, and do such stupid things. The root cause of what happened is that when we were bullied, no one did anything. We seek justice.
Well, if the superior people don’t seek justice for us, we will seek justice for ourselves. Why can they bully us? Because they have knives, guns, and crossbows, they can kill us, but we cannot defeat them.
It’s different now. We also have knives, guns, and crossbows. We can also kill them. Whoever dares to bully us again, we can already use knives and guns to protect ourselves and bring justice to ourselves! Not only that, we must also uphold justice for other farmers! "
After saying this, the officers suddenly became enlightened.
They all nodded, remembering the reason why they became private salt dealers and followed Su Yonglin north to rebel.
Wouldn’t it be impossible to survive if the land was taken away?
When being bullied, he could only swallow his anger and hope that Mr. Qingtian would uphold justice, but he could never wait for Mr. Qingtian. In the end, he had no choice but to go into exile, otherwise he would starve to death.
They were once very confused. They had all heard the legend of honest officials punishing corrupt officials, but why couldn't they wait for the honest officials when it was their turn?
Where are the honest officials?
During the endless wait, Su Yonglin told them, don't wait any longer, it's pointless, there aren't that many "honest officials" who can do justice to you.
If you want to avoid being bullied, you must unite and seek justice for yourself.
We have swords and guns, an army, and force. We can bring justice to ourselves and help other weak people bring justice.
Don't wait for honest officials, don't expect honest officials.
"Last night, Wang Dahu, the president of the Farmers' Association of Mopan Village, asked me what to do if the gold thieves came back, and what should they do? Do you know why he asked this? Because he was afraid and worried.
Because like us, they have killed the golden thief and there is no way back. There is only one way in front of them. They can only choose to stand with us, and don’t we also have only one way? Don’t we have no choice but to stand with them?
Otherwise, who can we stand with? Scholars from the Southern Song Dynasty? Those landlords and gentry who stole your land and demanded your life? Or is he the emperor of the Jin Kingdom? Or someone else from the Kingdom of Jin? No, not at all!
In this case, then stand together with the farmers, integrate into one, closely integrate, help each other, and never give up. We are farmers, and farmers are us! We are peasant soldiers! The peasant soldiers who make decisions for the farmers and support them! "
Su Yonglin clenched his fists and made this oath.
The officers looked at Su Yonglin and all became excited.
They finally realized that by holding a knife and shooting the golden man, they already had the ability to bring justice to themselves and even to help others bring justice.
They who once cried and hoped that Mr. Qingtian would come to bring justice to them no longer need such delusions.
They can kill their persecutors and fight bravely in exchange for precious freedom.
Use the swords and guns in our hands to bring justice to ourselves and the farmers!
We have to rely on ourselves!
Su Yonglin ordered again.
"Quickly notify the entire army of this matter, tell all the brothers what I said, let them remember it in their hearts, and then reiterate the military regulations and military laws. No plundering, no robbery, no invasion. Anyone who commits an offense will be punished. Kill without mercy!
Not only that, before getting my order to march, in addition to daily training of military formations, I also took time to help the farmers in the village cultivate the land and do whatever they could. We now rely on them to provide part of our rations, so we can’t eat for free. drink.
Since you have decided to make the decision for them and stand with them, don't forget that you are also a member of the farmers. In addition to killing the enemy, our hands can also be used for production. Remember, we are all farmers' soldiers! "
"Here!"
The officers responded in unison.
