Xin Qiji stopped talking about marrying into a wealthy family.
Others were still having heated exchanges of opinions on matters such as childbirth, running a family business, etc. Some even had a bad temper and planned to use muscle competition to decide Su Yonglin's route to marrying a wife.
Su Yonglin quickly stopped this meaningless argument.
"My marriage is not a trivial matter. I will think carefully about it, but the most important thing is definitely not the good figure or big butt as you said. None of you are younger than me, and many of you are older than me. It’s time to think about getting married.”
When Su Yonglin said this, these bachelors realized that they were actually good young men of marriageable age.
It's just that if Su Yonglin hadn't helped change their destiny and given them status, they would never have lived to get married.
But now it's different.
They also have the qualifications to choose a marriage partner and get married.
Having said that, they still made a decision unanimously - if Su Yonglin didn't get married, they wouldn't get married, and they definitely couldn't get married before Su Yonglin.
Su Yonglin was a little moved by this, and felt even more the heavy responsibility on his shoulders.
However, in his opinion, at this stage, although he is famous and powerful, he is really not the most popular in the marriage and love market.
Even a random landlord might be more popular than him.
He looks powerful, but once defeated, his power evaporates.
Unless he really defeated Wan Yanliang and overthrew the Jin Empire, then everything would be completely different.
But in this current state, everything is actually very embarrassing.
Su Yonglin also understood that the situation was serious at this time, but since Guo Jingshun mentioned it, he really planned to do it.
After all, he himself couldn't guarantee that he would definitely win, so the person who could make the decision to entrust his life and property at this time must be desperate and determined.
This is the friend he needs.
As long as he spreads the news, he can almost see what the current political status of the Liberation Army is.
So Su Yonglin spread the word that Su Yonglin, who had been single and unengaged, was considering getting married.
After the news was released, as Su Yonglin expected, the response was far less crazy than Su Haisheng and the others expected. It could even be said to be a bit normal.
The powerful landlords all realized that this should be a test by Su Yonglin.
A test of who can be further accepted and trusted, and who is just an ordinary ally and not trustworthy.
Following Su Yonglin to rebel and seize the opportunity to gain profits can essentially be regarded as an investment or speculation.
When things succeed, they rush forward; when things fail, they recede like the tide.
According to past experience, rulers generally do not kill everyone.
Especially if the scale of the rebellion is so large that almost every household takes part, the ruler will be severely weakened after putting down the rebellion. Generally, he will only get rid of the leader and kill the chickens to scare the monkeys, but will not hold most of the people who followed him accountable.
Most of these people are often considered to have been kidnapped. As long as they survive on the battlefield and escape home, avoiding the killings of the army, they can usually regain their status as good citizens after the war.
Moreover, rulers generally do not have the time, manpower and material resources to conduct door-to-door investigations to verify what a household did during the rebellion. They can only accurately eliminate the culprits and leaders.
So it doesn't mean that everyone who participated in the Liberation Army's uprising will definitely die. Most people are not deeply bound to the Liberation Army and really fall into the category of "coercion."
They only receive preferential treatment politically and economically, and receive economic and military support in return. This relationship is time-limited, not fixed and long-term.
At this time, Su Yonglin let out rumors that he was getting married, and the meaning was actually very clear.
He simply wants to expand the number and strength of his die-hard supporters and create more bargaining chips against the Jin Kingdom.
In the current situation, Su Yonglin does not have many die-hard supporters.
There is a big difference between a supporter and a die-hard supporter.
Once married to him, the entire family's status will be directly transformed into a die-hard supporter. Once the main force of the Jin army goes south and defeats Su Yonglin, these local die-hard supporters will definitely be uprooted by Jin Ting without mercy.
So the core of the question now is whether Su Yonglin can defeat the main force of the Jin Army, jump up like a carp, cross the dragon gate and directly transform into a real dragon.
This is a question worth exploring.
Say he can, the impression of the Jin Kingdom's power will not be completely reversed just because a cavalry team was defeated, because the Jin Kingdom still has its main army that has not been used.
Say he can't, but he does have the military power of Hebei, so it's definitely not impossible to turn things around.
Many wealthy families who have a daughter to be born feel very conflicted about this.
While they were conflicting, they were also complaining about why Su Yonglin chose such a time to get married. They were simply using the important matter of marriage as a political bargaining chip and taking advantage of themselves.
I calculate that I am okay.
Facing such wolf destruction, they also felt that it was their first time seeing it and they had no experience in dealing with it.
It can be said that this is a huge bet, and the bet is Su Yonglin's own future. If he becomes a real dragon, earns his blood for the rest of his life, and becomes the master directly. If he becomes a dead fish, the whole family will be buried for him, and nothing will be needed. said.
Tangled, depressed, timid, and difficult to make a decision!
When Su Yonglin released rumors of his marriage, various forces related to Su Yonglin also had their own plans and preparations.
The first person to bear the brunt is of course Zhao Kaishan.
After Zhao Kaishan captured Daming Mansion, he couldn't wait to promote his martial arts. As a result, he was treated coldly and he became increasingly dissatisfied.
So he held a large-scale military performance in Daming Mansion, announced the further recruitment of soldiers to expand the military strength, and prepared to use more troops to conquer the west to show his strong martial virtue.
But it still didn't make any waves.
Not to mention outsiders, even our own people were talking about what Su Yonglin had done in Hebei, what places he had conquered, how he had intimidated his sponsors, and so on. No one cared about him at all.
This made Zhao Kaishan even more angry, but he was intimidated by the elite of Su Yonglin's army and did not dare to act recklessly.
Originally he thought he could compete with Su Yonglin, but this time Su Yonglin's burst of fighting power made him afraid of Su Yonglin and did not dare to confront him head-on.
So he felt more and more depressed, so he came to Zhao Zuoliang, hoping that he could help him solve his problems.
Zhao Zuoliang was very depressed. When the matter reached this point, how could he solve the problem?
It's nothing more than expanding the army, developing westward, further expanding the power, and making one's own people confident in themselves.
Do you still want to go north to compete with Su Yonglin?
Of course he didn't have the courage to go north, but the presence of Su Yonglin made him feel like a stick in his throat. He always felt that Su Yonglin would usurp his position, and he felt uneasy and very distressed.
Zhao Zuoliang was speechless and had no idea how to communicate with Zhao Kaishan. He just felt that Zhao Kaishan was deceived by lard and could no longer think properly.
"Kaishan, you should think carefully. Your thoughts are clear to Su Yonglin and Sun Tzu Yike, so they have left troops in Dongping Prefecture and Yidu Prefecture. This is to guard against you. If you are prepared, you can Don’t think they are all fools.”
When it comes to military affairs, Zhao Kaishan is very unhappy.
"They really have bad intentions. They are so wary of me. It's completely a sign of their ulterior motives!"
"so what?"
Zhao Zuoliang looked at Zhao Kaishan.
Zhao Kaishan was silent, unable to say anything.
After a long time, Zhao Kaishan asked Zhao Zuoliang to leave. He wanted to be alone.
Zhao Zuoliang nodded and left Zhao Kaishan's room, leaving space for Zhao Kaishan.
On the way out of Zhao Kaishan's mansion, Zhao Zuoliang met Zhao Yucheng.
"Uncle!"
Zhao Yucheng greeted respectfully.
"Um."
Zhao Zuoliang nodded and was about to leave. Suddenly he saw Zhao Yucheng's youthful demeanor and remembered that Zhao Yucheng and Su Yonglin had a good relationship. They exchanged many letters, and he had some more thoughts in his mind.
"Yucheng, have you been exchanging letters with Su Yuting recently?"
"Yes, why not?"
Zhao Yucheng laughed and said: "Uncle Yuting never forgot to write to me even when he was marching and fighting. He urged me to study, learn about military affairs, and encouraged me to work hard. This time Uncle Yuting won the battle, and I also wrote Congratulations to him for the letter."
Zhao Zuoliang thought for a while and then asked, "Do you have a good relationship?"
Zhao Yucheng nodded matter-of-factly.
"Of course, I have a very good relationship with Uncle Yuting. I often ask him some questions, and Uncle Yuting will reply to me seriously. Sometimes I feel very strange. Obviously Uncle Yuting is only two years older than me. , but he is like my elder."
Zhao Yucheng touched his head and laughed.
Zhao Zuoliang suddenly felt something strange in his heart.
"Oh, that's it, then..."
"Um?"
"It's nothing. Keep in touch with Su Yuting. This relationship can be maintained. Su Yuting is a person worth learning from."
"That's natural!"
Zhao Yucheng raised his fist: "One day, I will be like Uncle Yu Ting. Even if I face thousands of gold thieves, I will never admit defeat! I will fight to the death to defeat them!"
"well!"
Zhao Zuoliang smiled reluctantly, and then slowly left Zhao Kaishan's mansion.
How strange.
I am so afraid of Su Yonglin, but my son regards Su Yonglin as his idol and spiritual friend. Are you, father and son, really going to have no problems?
Zhao Zuoliang shook his head helplessly, very worried about their future.
But soon, Zhao Zuoliang no longer had the mind to take care of Zhao Kaishan and Zhao Yucheng, father and son.
Because something happened to him.
Zhao Kaihe, who was sent by Zhao Kaishan to fight corruption, directly brought back a corrupt criminal who had embezzled pensions and war bounties.
And this corrupt criminal is Zhao Zuoliang's eldest son, Zhao Xiuye.
