After his throat was sealed with a knife, the shocked and puzzled expression on Chen Binghe's face did not fade away.
He stared, his body moved forward uncontrollably, and fell to the ground with a snap. His hands and feet twitched unwillingly a few times, and finally stopped moving. Blood gradually spread from underneath him.
The superior Chen Binghe died like this.
The flames in the eyes of the victorious soldiers also burned more intensely.
"ah!!!"
Sijing, who was kneeling on the ground, screamed, and the other officials were also frightened and cried together.
"Why are you crying? He is a loyal minister of the Emperor of Jin. Are you crying for him because you want to go with him?"
Su Yonglin asked sharply.
Faced with the threat of death, a group of people immediately stopped crying and no longer dared to make a sound.
Su Yonglin nodded with satisfaction, walked up to Sijing, knelt down and looked at him.
"You speak Chinese well, and your name is pretty good too. What is your family background?"
"The elders in the family all... all speak Chinese and have Chinese names. As for me, I no longer have a Jurchen name."
Sijing answered Su Yonglin while trembling.
Su Yonglin nodded.
"That's right. Now that you're here, you have to make some changes. Stop learning those old things from the past. Throw them all away. Sinology is broad and profound. It's good to learn more. It's good."
Sijing raised his head tentatively, looked at Su Yonglin's kind face, and seemed to muster up some courage.
"That's what your Excellency said."
"By the way, let me ask you something. You have to tell me the truth."
"Here."
"Does the government now know where we came from as rebels, how many there are, and what we are doing?"
Su Yonglin held Sijing's chin, lifted his head up, and looked into his eyes: "Don't lie to me. I can tell if you lie to me."
Sijing's Adam's apple moved up and down.
"When your Excellency... came in, we just learned that Yizhou has been occupied by the rebels... No! Rebels! Rebels! Yizhou has been occupied by the rebels."
"what about others?"
"have no idea."
"who I am?"
"have no idea."
"Other officials also don't know?"
"I don't know about this. I really don't know if other officials know about it. We only had time to contact Da Lei, the governor of Tai'an Prefecture, but we didn't have time to tell him that Yizhou had been occupied, so..."
"So how many of us are there and you don't know anything about what we are doing?"
"Yes."
"What else do you know?"
"I also know... By the way, a while ago, there were rumors in the county that there was a rebellion in Yizhou, there was a rebellion in Mizhou, there was a rebellion in Dengzhou, there were also rumors that there was a rebellion in Damingfu, and there was a rebellion in Yanyun , the Xia State invaded in the west, and the Song State Northern Expedition in the south.
A lot of news like this spread all over the city, but we don’t know what happened at all, so we can only verify each one, but there is not enough time, we can’t sort out the clues, we can’t know more, so...just..."
"I'm coming."
Su Yonglin smiled.
Sijing smiled apologetically and nodded repeatedly.
"Yes."
"How do you know there is a problem in Yizhou?"
Sijing told Su Yonglin the news brought by Chen Binghe's tribe and the spy who had gone around half a circle and worked hard to get back.
Su Yonglin knew what he wanted to know, and he let go of his hand with satisfaction and stood up.
It has been more than 20 days since the rebellion started. As a result, there is news of rebellion in Yizhou, Mizhou, Juzhou. At least the governor of Tai'an Prefecture is currently uncertain. Xintai County has just confirmed that there is a rebellion in Yizhou. .
They didn't know the specific number, composition, or goals of the rebels. They didn't even know that the rebels had launched an attack and were preparing to capture Shandong East Road.
good.
It seems that Su Yin and Su Changsheng fought well in this intelligence war, their special skills were not neglected, and the ancient and modern principle of three people becoming a tiger has been verified once again.
At the moment, the entire Jinting official system in Shandong should be in a mess. Even if they already know something, they have no time to contact each other and join forces to fight, so they can only passively fight on their own.
The Liberation Army has already begun to attack, and the Shandong Jin Army's devastating defeat has just begun. This military operation seems to be a sure win.
If they win here, it will surely trigger widespread uprisings by local tyrants and gentry who are dissatisfied with Jin Ting in other areas of Shandong, and then spread this wave to Henan and Hebei.
While Jin Ting's foothold in the Central Plains was not stable, he wrapped the vast Central Plains area in the wave of rebellion, which could trigger a series of reactions.
As long as there is a fulcrum, a small person can lift objects countless times larger than him.
With this fulcrum, Su Yonglin, who had only one army, could also leverage Jin Ting's rule in the Central Plains.
The time of great rebellion is coming.
Su Yonglin was very satisfied with Sijing and then ordered him to be killed.
Sijing had a dull look on his face, and he didn't scream until he was dragged out for execution, screaming for mercy.
Su Yonglin shouted loudly.
"Don't worry, I will send your emperor down to accompany you soon! You won't be lonely!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Sijing's head was chopped off.
Su Yonglin didn't care about the wails of some people.
He accepted the military supplies in the city and received a large amount of food, crossbows, gunpowder and arrows, as well as some melee weapons and a small amount of armor.
The military equipment of Shengjie Army has been optimized again.
The morning after the county seat was captured, Su Yonglin learned that the follow-up troops had followed.
Su Jue, Su Haisheng and others led a sudden advance and jointly wiped out the Jinren villages and town defense forces in Xintai County. The progress was very fast.
In the afternoon, Chen Qiaoshan and Li Xiao's troops arrived at Xintai County to rest.
Su Yonglin summoned the generals to the county town to announce the next battle plan.
Su Jue, Su Haisheng and Han Jinggui were left to lead three battalions of troops, and Su Haisheng and Su Jue each led their own troops to capture Laiwu County and Fengfu County respectively.
It is equivalent to directly leaving the 1,500-strong army here to wipe out all the Jin people and liberate all the rural areas controlled by them.
Then, as usual, we build peasant associations, organize farmers, and start to expand the army.
Two thousand three hundred men is indeed not enough, he needs more military strength.
Su Yonglin still has some ideas of his own.
Tai'an Prefecture is surrounded by the Taishan Mountains to the north and east, and is also blocked by mountains to the south. Only the west is flat. However, the Wen River passes through this place and many tributaries divide the flat land, making it not a suitable terrain for cavalry operations.
As long as it was not cavalry but infantry, Su Yonglin would still have the confidence to deal with them in a short time.
So Tai'an Prefecture is a good place.
According to Zhao Kaishan's practice, whoever takes down the territory will be in charge, so Tai'an Prefecture can be well constructed and can be used as the core headquarters of the Shengjie Army for a period of time. It is relatively safe.
After eliminating the Jin people in the villages, taking control of the villages and the population under their control, and adding in the peasants who were originally controlled by the government, more than half of the land population in Tai'an Prefecture will be under Su Yonglin's control.
As for the local landowners and squires...
Don't worry about them for the time being, just be honest and conciliatory, and don't offend the river.
After determining this goal, everything fell into place. Su Yonglin carefully asked the three people who stayed to operate seriously and carefully.
"After capturing the county seat, we will implement military control to temporarily control the city, and then wipe out the Jin people and town defense troops in the villages. Then we will continue to build a peasant association as usual and mobilize farmers to cooperate with us. As for those landlords and gentry...
If they are willing to join the Liberation Army, then agree to let them join the Liberation Army and let them take care of their original territory. I will arrange for them to meet me after I come back. Just do your work in the countryside and don't let them interfere. , that’s it. "
After listening to Su Yonglin's explanation, the three of them nodded cautiously to express their understanding.
Then, Su Yonglin himself led the remaining 800 troops and two armies, Po Di and You Yi, to advance towards Zizhou.
