After leaving the wounded barracks, Su Yonglin came to the temporary garrison camp.
The people who stay here are the lucky ones who were not seriously injured, or the slightly injured people who can function normally as long as their wounds are treated a little.
There were also the leaders of the landlord armed groups who did not dare to confront the Jin soldiers and had no hope from Su Yonglin.
Su Yonglin's way of controlling them is very simple, that is, direct leadership, issuing orders and executing them.
Su Yonglin basically organized the armed team in a place into a battalion based on their regional origin and their status when they joined the Liberation Army. The top leader was appointed as the battalion commander, and other positions were assigned and managed by themselves.
The powerful armed forces of the landlords were all broken up into battalions one by one, and their numbers varied, ranging from more than 3,000 people to more than 1,000 people.
The direct superior of these battalion commanders is Su Yonglin himself. Unlike the Shengjie Army, there are regiment-level trainers who can command more battalions.
This is not only a practical consideration brought about by the low military quality of this powerful armed group of landlords, but also the fact that Su Yonglin does not want to create a widely prestigious spokesman for the powerful landlords.
They only need to stay with them and join the army at a relatively low position. This way they are easier to control and it is not difficult to conduct unified command.
What's more, one of these guys has a local grass-headed king who doesn't obey anyone. A superior officer has no prestige and can't command these grass-headed kings at all.
Anyway, the tough battles along the way were all fought by the Shengjie Army. At most, they only played a role of waving the flag and building momentum. They had no military exploits themselves, and their low status was self-inflicted.
Not to mention that they did not participate in the bloody battle, and some even escaped.
On the way here, Su Yonglin also heard Lin Jingchun talking about his bloody battle with the Jin Army. Only a few of these people were optimistic about him and showed a firm attitude.
Most of them are just idlers, with ambiguous attitudes, and most likely to flee immediately once the victorious army is defeated.
What's more, some of them have already escaped in advance. About a dozen "battalion commanders" took their own troops and fled with a batch of food, grass and baggage. They ran all the way south and have not returned yet, and their whereabouts are unknown.
Some people tried to stop them from taking away the food and supplies, and they even drew their swords and threatened those who stopped them to leave. In the end, Lin Jingchun came forward and let them go, saying that everyone could get together and disperse.
They had no idea that Su Yonglin had defeated the Jin army, and they would not believe that Su Yonglin had really defeated the Jin army. Maybe when they found out later, they would regret it so much that their intestines would turn blue.
The leaders of the landlord armed forces who had not left all looked at Su Yonglin with admiration and a little fear in their eyes.
When Su Yonglin approached the military camp, they came out in groups together with the officers and soldiers of the Shengjie Army and offered their sincere blessings to Su Yonglin.
With his head lowered and his body leaning forward, he looked cautious and even humble, with a flattering smile on his face. It seemed that Su Yonglin's every move and gesture could bring complete intimidation to them.
In a daze, Su Yonglin thought of Xiang Yu who returned to the rebel camp after defeating the Qin army in a last-ditch battle.
Back then, was he facing such a group of fellow rebels who had little success but only failure and no courage?
If that's the case, it's no wonder that those comrades knelt on the ground to welcome his return, not daring to look up at him.
At the moment, Su Yonglin had only defeated a vanguard force of the Jin Army, so the attitude of these people was not that low.
Despite this, Su Yonglin also clearly proved the strength of himself and Shengjie Army, which is beyond doubt.
In this world of great strife, only the strongest can survive to the end, win the final victory, and gain everything. The emergence of a strong man will inevitably bring about a huge change in the situation.
If these people were wavering before, then after the Shengjie Army defeated a large number of elite cavalry of the Jin Army, they would not be so easily shaken when facing Wan Yanliang's army in the future.
They will sway, but they will no longer run away easily.
Their behavior is speculation, but if they don't pay some price, the speculation will fail.
The dozen battalion commanders and their troops who escaped should be enough to teach this group of people a lesson.
This is how Su Yonglin sees it.
Then he walked to the barracks to receive what he deserved.
Cheers, loyalty, admiration, or respect.
These are the existences that create their own prestige.
He saw Xin Qiji with ointment on his face, Su Haisheng and Han Jinggui with bandages, and Fu Hongda with his head wrapped like a rice dumpling.
He saw the officers who fought bloody battles for him and the future of Shengjie Army.
He walked forward affectionately, hugged them, hugged them, and celebrated the victory with them.
The battalion commanders looked at this scene with envious expressions. It seemed that they also wanted to get such treatment, stand with Su Yonglin, and get the opportunity to share in the post-war benefits.
Unfortunately, it was not them who followed Su Yonglin in the bloody battle, but this group of tough men who were all injured.
They really followed Su Yonglin and defeated the Jin Army cavalry!
It is said that there are even a thousand iron pagodas!
What on earth did these guys do?
Are they really human?
Later, in the internal meeting of the army, Su Yonglin also learned an interesting thing.
This morning, the Hutuo River and Zishui were all frozen. The ice was so thick that it could barely bear the weight of a person walking on it.
If the weather continues to be cold, it is difficult to say whether the ice will be thicker in a day or two, and whether it will be thick enough to accept cavalry and successfully cross the river.
After learning about this situation, the people in the camp respected Su Yonglin even more, even treating him like a god.
"The general is truly a god!"
"The general is so brave that no one in heaven can match him!"
"The general's power is broadcast all over the world, and the gold thieves will be frightened by the news!"
"The truth has been broken, the golden thieves and cavalry have been destroyed, Hejian Mansion is just around the corner, and Hebei will surely become the general's world!"
The commanders of the landlords' powerful armed groups had no fighting skills, but they had all read books and knew a lot of tricks. The officers of the Victory Army who wore bandages or ointments on their bodies could never defeat them.
Su Yonglin couldn't be said to be overly happy, but he definitely wasn't disgusted. There was a difference between someone flattering someone and someone not flattering him. At least at the moment, the flattery from these people was still very meaningful.
This means that more idiots will definitely be encouraged to participate in this frenzy of carving up Hebei's interests.
What Su Yonglin has to do is to add fuel to the flames and make these people stand completely opposite to the Golden Empire and cut their interests with the Golden Empire so that they cannot get the Golden Empire's understanding.
At least he couldn't get Wan Yanliang's understanding to let this grumpy old man do something terrible.
So he didn't mind that he couldn't get too many benefits, as long as he could achieve the goal of cutting off the Hebei landlords and the Jin Empire and mobilize all the local landlords in Hebei, that would be enough.
In troubled times, this kind of interest is only temporary, reshuffles can happen at any time, class changes can happen in an instant, and there is no permanent owner of interests.
While some people are focusing on the immediate benefits, Su Yonglin has already set his sights on the longer-term future.
Therefore, what's wrong with letting them serve as officials, state governors, defense envoys, and military governors, county magistrates, and county lieutenants, and divide up the benefits left after the Jurchens were massacred?
As long as they provide themselves with food, pay, and soldiers, that's fine.
So Su Yonglin just smiled slightly, looking calm and calm.
"This is not the most important thing. What is important is victory. After winning the battle, the situation we face will be completely different. The situation is mine! Not the golden thief!
The golden thief has fallen into passivity. If he wants to make progress, he must fully mobilize, and mobilization requires time, which is a huge time of three months, half a year, or even a year!
During this period of time, we can reorganize Hebei, organize a strong army, and then launch the Northern Expedition. The goal is Zhongdu! We must conquer Zhongdu and destroy the golden thief! "
Su Yonglin looks confident and domineering, exuding a powerful charm that is irrefutable with every move and gesture.
So everyone quickly agreed.
Later, Su Yonglin sat at the top and asked: "I still don't know what happened to the Jin Army cavalry on the south bank. Did they launch an attack? What was the result?"
Xin Qiji stood up and said: "As far as we know, there is no movement from the band of gold thieves. We have just sent the messenger to General Sun to report the victory. General Sun may not know the news that we have won the battle yet. .”
"In other words, the four thousand gold thieves' cavalry are still intact?"
"yes."
Xin Qiji nodded.
Su Yonglin touched his chin and looked at everyone.
"Do you have any ideas?"
Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and then they all looked at Su Yonglin.
The battalion commander Cao Guanghe, who was a Hebei landowner, stood up first.
"The general can lead his troops south with the power of victory to intimidate the gold thieves. The gold thieves will definitely not dare to resist, will be frightened by the news, and will collapse quickly. Our army can win this victory without any bloodshed!"
Another battalion commander Zhu Jie also stood up.
"The general has defeated the main force of the gold thieves. They are just a small side force and there is nothing to fear. As long as the general leads his troops forward, the little bandit army will be destroyed with a snap of his finger!"
This group of people boasted one after another, wishing to blow Shengjiejun and Su Yonglin to the sky. The officers of Shengjiejun frowned with their boasts.
These guys don't know, but the officers know very well how much the Shengjie Army paid in order to defeat this powerful and elite Jin Army cavalry.
How many elite soldiers died on the battlefield, and how many people were lying in hospital beds unable to get up at all.
In the end, these people said that there was only one reason - Su Yonglin's power.
It's like everything else doesn't exist.
Is this just mindless flattery?
Su Yonglin also frowned slightly, very unhappy with such mindless flattery.
