After the inspection of the arsenal, Su Yonglin took everyone outside the arsenal. In broad daylight, he told everyone about Zhao Kaishan's arrangements.
The officers looked at each other with surprise, followed by deep dissatisfaction.
"How can you do this? Isn't this killing the donkey?"
"How much help did Alang give him back then? Has he forgotten it?"
"Despicable villain!"
"I really misjudged him!"
Everyone expressed their dissatisfaction with every word. The crowd was furious for a while, but was stopped by Su Jue and others.
Su Jue looked at Su Yonglin.
"Alang, what do you plan to do next?"
"Nothing else to do, obey the order, use the Shengjie Army as the main force, conquer the three states of Bozhou, Dezhou and Enzhou, expand our power, and then continue to expand the army and wait for the situation to change."
Su Yonglin turned around and looked at Su Jue, Su Haisheng and Han Jinggui.
"Everything at the moment is not something we can ultimately control. We can only see the final outcome after the Jin Kingdom's army arrives, so everything at the moment is not important. Don't worry about the pots and jars. Once they are broken, rebuilding is the key. The key is people. "
People are always the most important.
Whether it is fighting or producing, people are absolutely indispensable.
So after a series of things were done, Su Yonglin went to the Shengjie Army's training camp to personally inspect the training and education of new recruits.
As the army expands, training and education cannot be left behind. The proportion of veterans of the Su family is constantly diluting. Soon, veterans will become mid-level and senior officers as the size of the army expands.
Prior to this, whether a new grassroots officer group that is good enough can be cultivated is an important factor in whether the Victory Army can maintain its combat effectiveness.
And this is something Su Yonglin clings to and will not let go.
The productivity of the Song Dynasty was enough for the government to form a professional army of one million to be responsible for fighting. This was a military extreme. Unfortunately, the Song people did not make good use of this advantage.
Su Yonglin will not waste this huge advantage.
With a production scale of 100,000 people in hand, the Shengjie Army established by Su Yonglin has strong organization and professionalism.
It is by no means comparable to those "professional armies" of the Northern and Southern Song Dynasty.
Military regulations and military camp life schedules have been deeply ingrained in every soldier's mind. With the advancement of literacy education and general education, it is only a matter of time before these soldiers have their own worldview and values.
The one-hour gathering every night plays a very important role. It allows every grassroots officer to have the most basic understanding of the ideological trends of his soldiers.
Su Yonglin has already had the idea of selecting a group of officers who are good at doing ideological work from these officers and convert them into civilian positions, specifically responsible for ideological work.
After nutrition and military training keep up, ideological education must also keep up.
Su Yonglin currently has no workers who can serve as the vanguard, so he must let the army that has the most direct contact with him become this well-deserved vanguard.
The complete military camp schedule is being strictly implemented. It was in the afternoon when Su Yonglin arrived at the military camp for inspection, which was when the literacy class was over and the army was conducting formation and weapons training.
After watching the training for a while, Su Yonglin, who was satisfied, came to the Huotou Army camp again, looked at the soldiers' menus, and checked the soldiers' meals.
In this military camp, Su Yonglin felt unprecedented relief.
That kind of relaxing feeling that is completely different from the huge oppressive force filled with the outside world.
The military camp and the outside world seemed to be two worlds. One was full of oppression and danger, and the other was a big family that helped each other and hugged each other closely.
Can't such an army crush the old and corrupt world?
Su Yonglin clenched his fists.
With the war imminent, Su Yonglin raced against time to expand the establishment of the Shengjie Army, generally referring to the establishment and number of the Song Army after the implementation of the Art of War.
The original four main battle battalions were upgraded to the main battle group, and a regimental trainer was given the title of the chief military officer of the main battle group under the Shengjie Army.
The Tuan Lian Envoy still had some real power in the Tang Dynasty, but after entering the Song Dynasty, it was purely an honorary position, and Su Yonglin directly used it.
Su Jue, Su Haisheng, Han Jinggui and Zhang Yuejing were promoted to regimental trainers. The battalions under each main battle group were numbered. Each main battle group was assigned six main battle battalions in terms of establishment. The full establishment will be three thousand people, and the establishment and number of people below the battalion level will remain unchanged.
Each battalion still maintains a combat organization of 500 people, promotes the military ranks of veterans with military exploits, improves the organization, and expands the scale of the Victory Army.
Su Yonglin still appointed himself as the commander of the Shengjie Army and took charge of the entire Shengjie Army.
But at this point, the expansion of Shengjie's army was already foreseeable.
The establishment of regiments was a temporary measure. After each main battle group could reach a full strength of 3,000 men, it would be almost the same as an army. Su Yonglin did not directly upgrade the four battalions to armies. He was mainly concerned about Zhao Kaishan and wanted to To some extent, some real strength is hidden.
The relationship between the three factions of the Liberation Army is already quite sensitive and fragile. If any party suddenly expands its power openly, it will be very interesting in the eyes of the other two parties.
At the moment, Su Yonglin doesn't want to stimulate some people's sensitive nerves or trigger an arms race to some extent.
On June 15, after Su Yonglin returned to Jinan Mansion to join Zhang Yuejing, Xin Qiji and others, he learned three pieces of news.
First, Zhao Kaishan ordered people to send Su Yonglin a thousand pairs of infantry armors and a thousand divine arm bows, as well as some military supplies such as food and medicine, which greatly enriched Su Yonglin's military supplies.
Su Yonglin looked at what Zhao Kaishan sent and sighed slightly.
The second news is interesting.
Zhao Kaishan granted a great title to the Zhao family and close relatives, and made Chen Qiaoshan the general manager of Yizhou, Zhao Xiang the general manager of Weizhou, Zhao Kaihe the general manager of Mizhou, and Zhao Kai the general manager of Juzhou.
The remaining group of clansmen and cronies who did not serve as general managers became generals, leading an army alone, expanding their strength, recruiting people on a large scale to join the Liberation Army, and their momentum grew.
In short, the Zhao family and cronies have seized military and political power within his rule, and the Guangfu Army seems to have a general trend of becoming the Zhao Family Army.
What Su Yonglin didn't want to do publicly, Zhao Kaishan did it without any worries and openly disclosed it openly.
In this regard, Su Yonglin's subordinates were ridiculed and dissatisfied, but Su Yonglin did not publicly express any opinions.
The third message is the most important.
When Su Yonglin was reorganizing the army and preparing to send troops, he suddenly received important military intelligence - the Jin people were preparing to counterattack.
Su Yonglin's heart skipped a beat at that time, thinking that Wan Yanliang's army was coming. He thought that because of his lack of strength at the moment, if Wan Yanliang's army came so soon, the situation would be very bad.
Maybe he will be driven to Mount Tai by Wan Yanliang's army.
As a result, Su Changsheng, who brought back the intelligence, came to report in person, saying that the counterattack was either the Jin border troops coming from the north, or local troops coming from the west, from the direction of Shandong East Road and Damingfu Road.
There were no signs of military action in the direction of the central court of the Jin Kingdom, that is, the Zhongdu Mansion.
The people who planned this counterattack, according to the intelligence he heard, were Shu Husiji, the commander-in-chief of Yidu Prefecture, who had previously escaped from Yidu Prefecture, and Shan Jing, the Yin disciple of Yidu Prefecture.
"No news from Zhongdu Prefecture?"
"Indeed, no. If the main force of the Jin army were to move from the north to the south, there would be big movements in the various states along the way, either issuing troops or preparing food and fodder. It would definitely cause a stir, but there is no movement at all in Hebei. All the movement comes from Damingfu Road."
Su Yin was still watching from the front line, expanding the intelligence line westward and northward, with great results. He didn't have time to come back and report in person, so he asked Su Changsheng to come back and report.
This news made Su Yonglin even more surprised.
"Are you really not an enemy from the north?"
He asked again not believing it.
"It's really not an enemy from the north."
Su Changsheng gave an extremely positive reply.
So Su Yonglin touched the beard on his chin and started thinking.
