The increase in the number of troops will inevitably be accompanied by increased pressure on the logistics department.
In order to ensure that the army's logistics supplies can be supplied stably on time and in quantity, the Food and Rating Department in charge of Lin Jingchun needs to send out the largest number of manpower to contact the states and counties under Su Yonglin's nominal control to discuss with them the expenditure and delivery quantity of taxes, food and wages.
Lin Jingchun's job is to build a temporary supply network that can be used by the Shengjie Army.
Of course, under the current situation, if Su Yonglin needs something, the local powerful will definitely be willing to provide it in sufficient quantity - anyway, they can get it back through various means, and it will definitely not be a loss.
As for weapons, military supplies, etc., Su Yonglin's war seizures were enough for use, and all the arsenals in various places belonged to him, and he got a lot of good things from them.
The military establishment of the Shengjie Army has also been gradually restored. The five main regiments have continued to increase their establishment and number of people based on the original structure. The goal is for each army to have more than 10,000 troops.
In addition, Su Yonglin also wants to expand the Huben Camp to 5,000 people and the Red Ax Camp to 1,000 people.
The war horses and sophisticated heavy armor captured in the war are the biggest gains, especially the heavy armor. As long as it is still usable, Su Yonglin will arrange for special personnel to oil and maintain it in order to extend its use time.
The cavalry has also officially entered the era of one man and two horses due to the increase in the number of captured war horses. It can be regarded as replacing a shotgun with a cannon. Today is different from the past.
Because of the excellent battlefield medical system, although the sick and wounded in the Victory Army inevitably died, the mortality rate was kept to the lowest level.
As time goes by, a large number of veterans who have recovered from injuries have returned to the establishment. Their return will quickly restore the combat effectiveness of the Victory Army and bring the new recruits on the road as quickly as possible.
In order to maintain this fine tradition, Su Yonglin also searched for famous doctors throughout Hebei to join the army as military doctors to provide various medical services to the soldiers of the Victory Army.
The field medical team of the Shengjie Army was also expanded by Su Yonglin. Military doctors plus land-based nursing staff should be increased to at least one thousand people.
And this is a huge expense.
It doesn't matter, no matter how much you spend on the army, it will be worth it. This is Su Yonglin's consistent belief.
His investment will eventually be rewarded, and his expenditure will inevitably be profitable.
For example, the previous expenditures received huge excess returns in this Zhending battle. Thousands of people died in exchange for dozens of times or even close to a hundred times the benefits.
This wave has really made a lot of money.
Therefore, in order to further consolidate this model, Su Yonglin included commemorating the soldiers who died in battle and erecting monuments for them in the ideological education of the army.
He wants to further improve the army's sense of honor and belonging, so that they can truly feel that the Shengjie Army is their home and an existence for which they can sacrifice their lives.
The Shengjie Army, which is about to face a more powerful enemy, needs greater strength, not only physically, but also on the spiritual level, and the education of the soldiers must also be strengthened.
The political cadres in the Guidance Department are the busiest during this period, with one head and two heads.
They also need to educate the new recruits vigorously and influence them with the traditional thinking of the Victory Army, so that they can transform as soon as possible and have a new understanding of life and the world.
Then he went outside to preach the national policy of the Victory Army and portray the Jurchens as everyone's common enemy. The Khitan people and other ethnic groups should unite to fight against the Jurchens.
It is indeed not easy for one person to do the work of two people.
However, although they worked hard, they also did the most appropriate thing, quickly stabilizing the people's hearts in Hebei and joining Su Yonglin.
Through this policy and the three-chapter rules, Su Yonglin bridged the dissatisfaction and differences of people from all walks of life in various regions in a very short period of time, integrated the power of the entire Hebei and even half of Shandong to the greatest extent, and put them under their own unity under command.
The chaotic Hebei returned to calm in a short period of time, and the turbulent uprising became orderly and not chaotic.
An order belonging to the rebels was initially established.
This allowed Su Yonglin to concentrate on building troops, planning future tactics and thinking about various possible situations.
In addition, he can allocate part of his energy to the intelligence front to further integrate the intelligence harvested by the northern and southern intelligence forces to judge the situation in the entire world.
The seven action groups of the Shengjie Army's intelligence force have been de facto divided into two parts, the north and the south.
The northern part is the main force, led by Su Yin. It is mainly responsible for collecting intelligence on the Jin State, destroying their message transmission, and attacking the Jin State government's message transmission system, allowing them to learn less information and make more mistakes.
The south side is the auxiliary, under the leadership of Su Changsheng, and is mainly responsible for the collection of intelligence on the Southern Song Dynasty and the protection of secret trading routes. Only the Second Operation Group is responsible.
Based on the current situation of the Shengjie Army, the intelligence collection for Jin and Song is sufficient, but considering the intelligence needs after the situation changes in the future, it is necessary to expand the number of people in the intelligence organization at this time.
Since the uprising, the brave and careful Su Yin and Su Changsheng have made great contributions to him, spying on a lot of important information, and vigorously destroying the communication transmission of the Jin Empire, making it impossible for the various officials of the Jin Dynasty to transmit messages smoothly, and often There are fallacies.
This fallacy is often an important reason for the demise of these officials, including Wanyan Alin, who have suffered in this regard.
At present, Su Yin is still trying his best to crack down on the communications between various places in the Jin Kingdom and the communications between the central and local governments in the north. He specializes in guarding important official roads and attempts to murder the knights who come and go, and has achieved great results.
This prevented the Jinting Central Committee from learning about the war situation in Hebei to a considerable extent and bought Su Yonglin more time.
Although the distance between the two parties is only five hundred miles, it doesn't take long to get the news, but if it can be delayed for one day, twelve hours, it is enough for Su Yonglin to do a lot of things.
For example, a battalion of soldiers is recruited to start new recruit training.
Su Yonglin has many demands on Su Yin, and Su Yin can always fulfill his demands well, so Su Yonglin will leave more and more important things to Su Yin.
The most important thing at the moment is not only to maintain the intelligence attack on Jin Ting, but also to contact the local Khitan people through the Jin Ting controlled area and to the relatively distant northwest road to recruit the Si area.
There are some Khitans among the landlords' armed forces currently fighting with Su Yonglin. Su Yonglin selected some smart ones from them and planned to give them to Su Yin for some training before heading north to contact more Khitans.
Su Yin accepted the appointment and actively prepared to take action.
As for the south, what Su Changsheng's headquarters, headquartered in Jiaxing, can currently do is relatively limited.
Because of the conservative attitude held by the Southern Song Dynasty, it was difficult for intelligence personnel to know the Song court's views on the northern rebels.
Moreover, Su Changsheng and others arrived in the Southern Song Dynasty for a limited time and did not establish an effective intelligence network. The main thing they can do now is to maintain the security of secret trade routes.
On the contrary, Yao Hongfang asked about the war situation in the north from time to time, and from time to time provided them with some important or unimportant news about the movements of the Lin'an court.
According to Su Changsheng's judgment, as Su Yonglin's power continued to grow, Yao Hongfang might have had some strange ideas, so he took the initiative to offer them an olive branch.
Su Yonglin didn't care too much about this aspect.
In his opinion, if Yao Hong was a private salt dealer, the most he could do would be to give him some help on the economic level. Could he also provide him with any important information on the political side?
As for Yao Hongfang's casual approach, in Su Yonglin's opinion, it may be his alternative escape route.
Regarding the career of a private salt dealer at the domestic level, Su Yonglin knew very well that it was human nature to want to leave a way out for himself and his family, so he might as well accept his kindness and further examine his qualifications.
Being able to have a stable, long-term collaborator with certain social connections in the Southern Song Dynasty would be of great help to Su Yonglin's future strategy.
So Su Yonglin instructed Su Changsheng to tell Yao Hongfang about the fact that he defeated the Jin Army's 20,000 cavalry and occupied Hebei, becoming the general manager of Hebei, to see what Yao Hongfang thought.
Then, he continued to do his own business.
