Winning the relatively complete Damingfu City without a single blow was undoubtedly a huge victory.
This made Zhao Kaishan quite happy.
So he immediately announced that he had captured Damingfu City and occupied almost the entire Damingfu City.
Although the army was quite exhausted at this time, fortunately it did not encounter a war, so a crisis for the Liberation Army was virtually resolved.
The army was able to rest in Damingfu City.
Zhao Kaishan has not made any further moves for the time being. He hopes that people will give him enough attention for his successful occupation of Daming Mansion.
It's a pity that he didn't get much attention, because the previous headlines about Su Yonglin's big victory were so popular that his limelight was completely suppressed.
Everyone was paying attention to Su Yonglin's actions, but no one seemed to care about his actions.
Because the situation in Hebei is indeed very lively.
After Su Yonglin defeated the Jin Army's cavalry, the Jin Army no longer had any powerful mobile units that could threaten him. Even if they did, it would take a long time to mobilize and assemble, and they definitely could not be dispatched just by saying they were ready.
So he bought himself a very precious period of time to correct himself.
At the same time, because Su Yonglin's army was already very close to the capital of Daxing Prefecture, every move made by Su Yonglin was enough to shock Jin Ting.
Before Jin Ting reacted, Su Yonglin's reaction was the focus of everyone's attention.
Should he immediately launch the Northern Expedition and catch Jin Ting off guard?
Or should we reorganize our troops and wait until we have enough strength to attack Jin Ting?
Su Yonglin gave a clear attitude towards this - first restore his own strength, and then establish a sufficient deterrent force. As for whether to take the initiative to attack or defend at that time, we will see the movements of the Jin Army at that time.
The Victory Army was really damaged in the decisive battle before, and the losses were relatively serious. It could not re-form an effective military force in a short period of time, so it was necessary to reorganize the army.
Reorganizing the army requires re-recruitment to increase the number of troops, and it is also necessary to wait for veterans who have returned from injury to return to enhance combat effectiveness and the organizational structure of the army.
After this wave of bloody battles, Su Yonglin decided to continue to expand the army and expand the military strength of the Shengjie Army to 50,000 to 60,000 to use it as his trump card.
Then there is the local military strength represented by the powerful landlord armed forces in various places in Hebei as the peripheral military force, forming a huge military and political group.
Su Yonglin's plan was to use them to capture all of Hebei, intimidate the central government of Jinting, force Wanyan Liang to act faster, put more pressure on the inside, and promote large-scale civil strife in the Jin Kingdom faster.
When the time comes, civil strife in the Jin Dynasty, the showdown between the Jin army and the local forces in Hebei, the Khitan rebellion, etc. will all happen at once, which will definitely make Wan Yanliang panic.
After the entire Central Plains was reduced to chaos, the victorious army that he really had high hopes for could fish in troubled waters and obtain the greatest benefits.
A wave of pushback pushed Jin Ting back to Liaodong, recaptured the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, re-established a complete Great Wall defense line, and laid the foundation for the birth of a new country.
This is his plan of action for the next period of time.
The most important part of this plan is that before Shengjie's army becomes truly powerful, he needs to properly handle the relationship with the locals in Hebei, so that he can successfully use the power of the Hebei landlords' armed forces to control Hebei and thereby deter Jin Ting. .
Strive to achieve a situation where both them and Ginting lose.
This requires extremely strong deception ability and extremely high operational ability, which is a great test of Su Yonglin's water-holding skills.
Before defeating Wanyan Alin, it was still somewhat difficult to achieve this goal.
But after defeating Yan Alin, Su Yonglin suddenly found that it was no longer difficult for him to achieve this goal.
Because he has strong military force and "enlightened" policies.
The policies he promulgated after defeating Wanyan Alin paid great attention to safeguarding the interests of powerful landlords and gave them many political and economic privileges, which made them very happy and made the locals feel a sense of security.
This sense of security is what they eagerly desire. They eagerly pursue this sense of security and hope to have it for a long time, so they praise Su Yonglin to the fullest.
They felt that as long as they followed Su Yonglin, they could save their lives even if they rebelled, and there was a high probability of success.
So they tried their best to cooperate with Su Yonglin, giving him enough power to arrange personnel in the entire Hebei Province.
Su Yonglin was stationed in Wuji County. He just issued a call and sent political cadres to various places to preach. The landlords and powerful people in Hebei could not wait to organize their armed forces and began to attack the Jurchens whom they had hated for a long time.
They come in groups, brandishing crude weapons and wearing almost no armor, but they can defeat those fat-headed and fat-eared Jurchens who have no ability to resist at all.
For a time, the land of Hebei was turbulent, and a large number of "heroes" swarmed in.
Today a hero rises up, and tomorrow a hero rises up to fight. Today he rebels here and kills a group of Jurchens, and tomorrow he raises the ashes of the county magistrate there and declares that he will follow the Liberation Army...
Even Hejian Fucheng was surrounded again.
The Jurchens who had not yet had time to escape in the city were in panic all day long. Facing the dark local armed forces outside the city, they were terrified.
Before Su Yonglin had time to organize his army to attack Hejian City, Hejian City was already in a hurry.
After these powerful and powerful landowners achieved some results, they came to see Su Yonglin, hoping to follow Su Yonglin to do things for peace of mind and a legitimate identity.
Of course, there are also many powerful landlords with relatively solid foundations who directly come to invest with money, grain and other things that Su Yonglin urgently needs.
Su Yonglin certainly welcomes these people.
The food and money they provided were very necessary for the Shengjie Army, which was in urgent need of recovery, and these people were awarded official positions by Su Yonglin according to their status.
He is now the general manager of Hebei. He is the basis and power base of the officials he appoints throughout Hebei. He no longer needs Zhao Kaishan's name to directly appoint officials.
Originally, those powerful landowners came here just for his name, not for anyone else.
Su Yonglin was very happy about this and invested this huge batch of materials in the restoration and expansion of the Shengjie Army. He formally recruited troops in Hebei and called on brave men to join the Shengjie Army and fight with him. .
Once a person's reputation becomes famous, there will be many people who want to follow him in mischief.
No, many people came to Wuji County in groups to join Su Yonglin's Shengjie Army, quite scrambling to be the first.
Because there were so many people coming, it seemed that this would exceed the number requirements of the Shengjie Army, so Su Yonglin had to add additional recruitment requirements.
What is your height, body shape, and whether you have basic skills? Applicants with basic skills in martial arts, arithmetic, writing, and technology will be given priority.
Those who can ride a horse, sail a boat, swim or even cook can be given priority, while the rest who can't do anything else will have to compete for body and height.
Among them, landless refugees will be given priority, while people from the market will be ranked last.
When recruiting soldiers, you must watch their actions and listen to their words. Anyone who reveals bad thoughts will be dismissed and will not be included in the victorious army team.
The Shengjie Army is absolutely elite, and it must recruit the best quality soldiers to make the entire team more elite, rather than a mixed bag of good and bad, and accepting everyone.
And the more so, the more real talents will be attracted to join us.
Compared with the previous military expansions where only poor farmers took refuge, this time, many more people with various skills and basic educational levels came to take refuge.
Those who mastered iron smelting technology, those who mastered carpentry technology, and even those who mastered gunpowder manufacturing technology, as well as those with arithmetic skills and word processing skills, also came to seek refuge.
The joining of these people made Su Yonglin very happy.
Therefore, in addition to recruiting combat soldiers, Su Yonglin also recruited a large number of professionals who can enrich the five major logistics departments, replenishing the shortage of logistics manpower.
As a result, the pressure on the five major logistics departments decreased and became a little more relaxed.
