Su was unhappy.
the reason is simple.
He saw the decline of the Jin people, and he also saw that the landlords and gentry were still strong.
Along the way, the powerful force and control over the population of the landlords and gentry were clearly visible. A moderately large landlord's house could mobilize thousands or eight hundred people to form an army to participate in the rebellion.
Regardless of combat effectiveness and organization, just talking about the number of people, they still have it. In wars in the cold weapon era, the numerical advantage is always the biggest advantage.
Compared with the Jin people, they are indeed a more terrifying force. If they all rise up to resist, the Jin Kingdom will soon be destroyed.
And if Su Yonglin wanted to go against this group of people based on his current strength, it would definitely be like lighting a lantern in the toilet.
So he gave up the idea of rectifying Tai'an Prefecture and then rectifying Zizhou and Jinan Prefecture.
On the one hand, there is indeed a shortage of manpower, and political education takes time.
On the other hand, it is indeed not the time to conflict with these people at this stage.
The landlords and gentry in Tai'an Prefecture did not respond to his attack, so they had no merit, and the cold treatment was justifiable. However, the landlords and gentry in Zizhou and Jinan Prefecture actively responded with troops, and they had merit, so it is unjustifiable not to give them some benefits.
So he decided to temporarily follow Zhao Kaishan's approach and temporarily use traditional methods to appease people's hearts and stabilize the situation.
The so-called traditional methods are probably the "decided by passing on the message" method after the founding emperors defeated the main powerful enemies.
Let the locals take charge of the locals first and hand over power to them. When the situation stabilizes, then send officials to govern the local area to complete a smooth transition.
It is the so-called change of the king's flag at the top of the city, everyone changes their skin, the officials do the same, and the money is taken.
Of course, the exiled officials still shared real power with the main local landowners and gentry, and everyone happily fed the common people, while oppressing the rich peasants and small landowners.
Su Yonglin followed suit. In order to win the support of the landlords and gentry, expand the number of the Liberation Army, and facilitate his future plans, he made full use of the essence of the mission.
After capturing Zhangqiu County and expelling the Jin people, he appointed Qin Yuanzhi, the head of the Qin family, the most famous "hero" in Zhangqiu, as the magistrate of Zhangqiu County, and directly handed over Zhangqiu County to the Qin family.
The Qin family led the other major landowners and gentry to divide the fruits of victory in Zhangqiu County - the wealth and power left after the Jin people were expelled.
Qin was overjoyed.
After capturing Jiyang County, he appointed Ma Houde, the leader of the landowners and squires in Jiyang County, as the magistrate of Jiyang County and asked him to manage Jiyang County.
That is to say, let the Ma family take the lead, and the qualified landlords and gentry will sit down together and slowly divide the power according to their respective strengths.
Ma was also overjoyed.
They can do whatever they want under the banner of the Liberation Army.
Su Yonglin's requirement for them was to obey orders and remain consistent militarily, and to adhere to the leadership of the Liberation Army politically.
Everything else can be discussed, such as financial issues.
Similar practices also appeared throughout Jinan. After all the Jin people in Jinan were expelled, the power of the landlords and gentry also completely enveloped the entire Jinan Prefecture.
Not only that, the Han officials who did not escape from the original government also suddenly joined the Liberation Army and became "rebellious officials" under the rule of the Liberation Army. They changed their skin and did what they should do.
Su Yonglin had no objection to this, because objectively there was indeed such a demand. The Liberation Army was a group of rough guys and not organized. Without the help of these old officials in governance, the towns were really not easy to manage.
Moreover, everyone just wanted to [expel the Hulu]. As long as these Han officials announced in public that they would leave the Jin Kingdom and return to "China", everything would be easy to arrange.
So they just changed their slogan and worshiped Zhao Kaishan as the nominal supreme ruler, and they could continue to serve as officials. Their property and family were not damaged in any way, and all the bad things they had done in the past were wiped off.
The landowners, gentry and old bureaucrats were very happy about this.
Although Su Yonglin is young and much younger than them, everyone calls him "Su Shuai" and seems to regard him as the leader and follow his orders. They all say that they will follow Su Shuai closely in the future and decide to Don't give up.
These people also know the identity of Su Yonglin, the commander of the West Route Army.
They all know that Su Yonglin is one of the main military commanders of the Liberation Army, one of the three giants, and the "veteran" of the uprising, so they all feel that they have embraced him and can follow Su Yonglin to move forward under the rule of the Liberation Army. Shandong has obtained benefits that far exceed those before.
Su Yonglin gave them so many benefits and allowed them to do whatever they wanted, so of course they had to reciprocate the favor.
Sending money and things to express gratitude is just the most basic thing.
Unite around Su Yonglin and become his subordinates, provide him with military support and political support, and follow his footsteps. This is the best way for them to reciprocate.
In fact, this group of people did the same.
One or two people came to Su Yonglin to get acquainted with him. Some even noticed that Su Yonglin had not yet married a wife, and made plans to carefully select a suitable wife for him.
For example, both the Qin family and the Ma family had ideas in this regard, and they also asked Su Yonglin about this.
"Su Shuai is over 20 years old and has not yet married a wife. He has no children. It seems inappropriate. I wonder if Su Shuai has any intention of getting a wife?"
Just ask clearly and without beating around the bush.
In this regard, Su Yonglin's response was also very clear.
"The people I respect throughout my life are headed by Huo Qubing. Therefore, if the Xiongnu are not destroyed, why should we take care of our family?"
One sentence ended everyone's little thoughts, but as one of the three giants in the large group of the Liberation Army, some things are unavoidable.
Su Yonglin did not initially think about forming his own group to compete for power within the Liberation Army group. That was not his goal.
However, as the number of sieges and prestige increased, people naturally surrounded him, became his subordinates, and became a temporary community of interests with him, pushing him forward.
This is true for him, and it should be the same for Sun Ziyi and Zhao Kaishan.
Based on this calculation, internal fighting between the three major factions of the Liberation Army should be around the corner.
Su Yonglin predicted this.
The vigorous development of the Liberation Army and the tragic defeat of the Jin people in Shandong made the landlords and gentry in Shandong selectively ignore the fact that the main force of the Jin army had not yet been destroyed.
They only think that the Jin man has fallen, is a soft persimmon, and is easy to pinch, but how do they know what Su's true thoughts are in his heart?
Su just regarded this group of people as cannon fodder, pulled them up, and made both them and Jin Ting suffer losses.
This group of people actually has no way out.
If the opponent was Wan Yanyong, Su Yonglin would have to find ways to bind this group of people to prevent them from defecting at the speed of light.
But his opponent was Wan Yanliang, an irritable old man, so he wasn't worried.
Ginting actually has an advantage.
As long as the rebels realize this, Jin Ting's pardon edict can cause the rebels to explode on the spot.
Wanyanyong defeated the Shandong Rebel Army without a single blow, but in Wanyanliang's place, Su Yonglin was willing to take a gamble.
I bet this irritable old man would definitely prefer to use the army to quell the rebellion rather than divide the rebels with a pardon edict.
He wants to destroy those who disobey him and show his absolute majesty, rather than creating divisions and showing his tolerance and generosity.
In this way, Su's goal was achieved.
Lend Wan Yanliang's hand.
Friends, gaining territory and power is not free.
Looking at the "rebellion generals" who were drunk and drunk at the banquet, Mr. Su, who was sitting at the top, happily picked up the wine glass and sipped the wine in small sips.
Then Su Yonglin saw Xin Qiji sitting at the end of the banquet, frowning and eating vegetables without saying a word.
