On April 15, Su Yonglin set up the Shengjie Army headquarters in Huangjing Village in the northwest of Linyi County.
Then a military training camp was set up outside Huangjing Village and began to train troops in a planned way.
Today, Su Yonglin has only been building the army for a month, and the gap between veterans and recruits is not that big. As long as food is guaranteed, recruits can keep up with the training pace of veterans.
As for the food issue, Su Yonglin asked Lin Jingchun specifically.
He learned that the amount of food seized along the way was very large. The 2,300 soldiers of the Victory Army could eat three meals a day, and there would be no problem in eating them for the first half of the year.
Counting the rations provided by Zhao Kaishan, it can last longer.
Even if something goes wrong, the Shengjie Army previously raided the Jin people's villages and obtained a lot of goods. All these goods were returned to the public in accordance with the Shengjie Army's military regulations. Whatever is needed will be purchased directly with money to ensure that the soldiers will not starve. abdomen.
In a word, Shengjiejun is now wealthy and has no shortage of food and clothing.
Su Yonglin was very satisfied.
Since the amount of training is large, you must eat more, be full, and eat as well as possible, otherwise the army will mutiny in a matter of minutes.
Su Yonglin paid close attention to the training every day, personally inspected the army's training, and also personally gave advice to the newly promoted commander of the Qinglong Battalion, Han Jinggui, and the commander of the Xuanwu Battalion, Zhang Yuejing.
Both of them were also from the original core group, and their cultural level and military quality were sufficient.
They served as platoon leaders in the Battle of Yizhou and followed Su Yonglin in the charge and achieved military exploits. After the war, they were promoted based on merit and were promoted by Su Yonglin to serve as commanders of the two newly established battalions.
Because it was his first time to hold such a position, Su Yonglin was a little worried about them and personally reminded them when inspecting the training of new recruits.
In addition, Su Yonglin also did a series of work in response to the Jin people's movements.
Before the incident, Su Yonglin asked Su Yin to sneak into several prefectures near Yizhou with many people to observe the government's actions and find out the news. The main purpose was to see the speed of message transmission and the reaction speed of the Jin government to judge the recovery rate of the Liberation Army. How much time is left.
The speed of message transmission is quite satisfactory, not too slow.
In peacetime, all states have economic exchanges. If the Liberation Army suddenly riots, it will be difficult for other state capitals not to know about it.
So around April 11, news of riots in Yizhou and other states had spread to several surrounding state capitals. Some people were talking about it, and the government was also aware of it.
In order to buy more time for the rebels, Su Yin followed Su Yonglin's order and ordered his spies to use the traditional skill of concealing the truth.
When selling illicit salt, in order to compete for the market or win a price war, Su Yonglin often used rumors to attack his competitors, and could even use rumors to destroy a illicit salt organization.
Now, it is a good time to give full play to this traditional art.
As the saying goes, three people become a tiger. Needless to say, the power of rumors is terrifying.
Su Yin made full use of what he had learned and spread news about the rebellion in Yanzhou, Tengzhou, Tai'an Prefecture, Zizhou and Yidu Prefecture.
But it is not to spread the news of Yizhou rebellion.
Instead, they spread the news that there were rebellions in Xuzhou in the south, Dengzhou and Laizhou in the east, and also spread news that there were rebellions in Damingfu further to the west and Jizhou in the north.
If there is one, there are two, and the news is very strange as it is passed back and forth.
Finally, news came out that the Song Dynasty in the south was about to launch its troops in the Northern Expedition, the Khitans were rebelling and going south, the Xixia army was attacking Guanzhong, and the barbarians on the grassland broke through the defense lines and invaded Hebei.
I don’t know which genius spread it.
In short, all kinds of news were mixed together, which not only spread among the people, but also reached the ears of the officials, which greatly interfered with the official vision and made the officials think that there were rebellions in many places, and they were immediately panicked.
They could only send people everywhere to inquire about any specific news about the rebellion to make sure they were safe.
If the local government is like this, more false information will be spread against the Tongjun Department, the most important military institution in Shandong.
This confuses the sight of the Yidutong Military Division and prevents them from concentrating on investigating one area. Instead, they need to send people everywhere for on-the-spot investigation to get accurate information.
In the era without telegraphs and telephones, it was not easy to rebel, nor was it easy for the officers and soldiers to suppress the rebellion. To even at least find out who was rebelling somewhere, someone needed to report on horseback.
It takes time from the time the Liberation Army begins its rebellion to when important official departments know the news. It also takes time to figure out the size of the Liberation Army and the goals of the rebellion.
The central court must agree to mobilize troops, otherwise the army cannot be mobilized to quell the rebellion, which takes time.
The central government needs to evaluate the information and then order troops to quell the rebellion, which takes time.
It also takes time to select a counter-insurgency coach, assemble the counter-insurgency army, prepare logistics supplies, etc.
This part of the time requirement is based on the ideal state of the entire bureaucratic organization running at high speed and with no distractions.
In reality, problems within bureaucratic organizations will infinitely amplify this part of the time requirement.
The interests of officials themselves, their courage and responsibility, competition or friendly relationships among officials, etc., will all affect the entire process of a central decision-making from promulgation to execution.
Because of these circumstances, the local officers and soldiers of the Jin Kingdom were often unable to gather together to launch attacks on the Liberation Army, and could only passively defend and fight independently.
However, the Liberation Army was able to take this opportunity to develop itself by conquering cities and territories, gaining strategic advantage with numerical superiority.
Therefore, during the period before the empire's real counter-insurgency army assembled and arrived on the battlefield, the government was absolutely weak compared to the Liberation Army.
This situation can also correspond to the uprisings in other dynasties.
At the beginning of the uprising, many insurrectionary armies made a wave of operations as fierce as a tiger, beating the shit out of the official army. The official army was defeated like a mountain, and the insurgent army's momentum suddenly grew.
At present, the Liberation Army is also following this traditional path.
The scale of the Liberation Army is rapidly expanding, and its momentum is constantly rising.
However, the Shandong local government and the unified military department of the Jin Kingdom fell into chaos due to their respective corruption, transportation delays and false news.
They couldn't get accurate information quickly and didn't know where the real riot took place.
It seems that everyone in the world is against him, but he is the only one who is safe.
Government officials everywhere are inquiring about all kinds of information, fearing that there will be rebel Liberation Army around them.
In this case, as Su Yin's deputy, Su Changsheng, who had been ordered to monitor the actions of the Military and Military Division in Yidu Mansion, also completed a god-level operation.
He very boldly extended his dark hand to the spies sent by the Military and Military Affairs Department to find out the news.
He killed five official sentry riders in succession and buried their bodies in the wilderness, making Yidu's official sources of information even more lagging and blocked.
Yidu Prefecture is the capital of Shandong East Road, and its news is blocked, which means that the entire Shandong East Road's news is not smooth.
Su Yin quickly realized the effectiveness of this method, so he also ordered his spies to actively use force. Once they notice the government sentries, they must try their best to kill them and then destroy the corpses to eliminate traces.
No matter how many you can kill, kill one when you see one, and kill a pair when you see two.
The death of a sentinel knight may affect the actions of a state or a prefecture.
Su Yin and Su Changsheng's intelligence war effectively disrupted the information transmission and collection of Jinting's Shandong local government.
The chaotic news sources and the constant disappearance of the sentry riders had a great impact on them. They became even more panicked and uneasy, so they sent out more sentry riders and adopted a multi-person approach to deal with it.
Only then did the sentries finally break through the intelligence blockade and connect to other places. They traveled to various places to inquire and deliver information.
However, the chaos in the previous period has bought the Liberation Army a lot of precious time to reorganize itself.
Under such circumstances, Zhao Kaishan's "Liberation Army's Proposal for Gold" was secretly delivered to the hands of famous landowners and squires in various states.
