On the same day that Wan Yanliang learned the truth in Zhongdu, on the first day of May, Su Yonglin officially married Zhao Xirui in Hejian Mansion.
The news that Su Yonglin was getting married spread out half a month ago. Everyone who should know knew it, and everyone who shouldn't know it also knew it.
Most people are lamenting that Zhao Zuoliang actually had the courage to marry his daughter to Su Yonglin. At the same time, many people suspect that Zhao Kaishan is behind this and may be closely related to Zhao Kaishan.
However, what happened before when Zhao Kaishan led his troops to Dongping Mansion to meet with Su Yonglin and then withdrew the troops seemed quite strange.
Several things happened in succession, making it difficult for many people to determine what was going on.
There is no shadow of Zhao Kaishan behind this matter. What is the relationship between Zhao Kaishan and Zhao Zuoliang?
To say that this matter has something to do with Zhao Kaishan, it is very strange that when Zhao Kaishan learned the news, he directly led his troops north to Dongping Mansion and almost caused a civil war among the Liberation Army.
What is going on?
It is impossible for anyone to know the reason for a while, because the person involved said nothing.
But if we say whether Zhao Kaishan is happy about this matter, it can be said that he is unhappy. This is certain.
Because Zhao Kaishan fell ill on the way back to the division with his troops and vomited a mouthful of blood. After returning to Linyi, he lay directly on the bed, unconscious, unable to manage politics or conduct military parades.
His subordinates were very anxious and called in local famous doctors to diagnose and treat Zhao Kaishan.
The famous doctor frowned after seeing it, saying that he was weak due to overwork and irritation. In addition, he may have caught wind and cold on the way back to the army. He was already seriously ill and had to lie still in bed to slowly recuperate his body.
You can't work hard, you can't be exposed to the wind, and you can't even think about marching or fighting. Moreover, because the condition is quite serious, you need to carefully consider the medication at the moment. I will give conservative treatment for the time being, and then decide on the diagnosis and treatment plan based on the follow-up situation.
Anyway, the bottom line is one sentence - Zhao Kaishan is not out of danger yet.
Zhao Kaishan fell ill, and people in the Liberation Army were panicked. Everyone had the dangerous idea of "What should the Liberation Army do if Zhao Kaishan never gets up again?"
Guys, you look at me and I look at you. Everyone’s face is at a loss.
After finally waiting for Zhao Kaishan to open his eyes and wake up a little, the important generals of the Liberation Army quickly gathered together and asked Zhao Kaishan what to do. He couldn't do anything anymore, and who should the Liberation Army listen to.
Zhao Kaishan was weak and speechless. Seeing that Zhao Yucheng was also beside his bed, he pointed at Zhao Yucheng with great effort, and then passed out again.
Everyone understands that Zhao Kaishan wants Zhao Yucheng to take charge temporarily and bring down the banner of the Liberation Army. After he recovers from his illness, he can continue to lead everyone to torment the Jin people.
This was what he meant, so Zhao Yucheng accepted the appointment in front of Zhao Kaishan's hospital bed and assumed the position of acting leader.
No one was dissatisfied and agreed directly.
The status was determined, but when it came to the implementation level, problems arose.
Zhao Yucheng has indeed been in the army for a long time, but he is too young, only nineteen years old, and has not made any decent achievements.
We fought several battles, with several small victories and several small defeats. If this is considered normal, the most terrible thing was a big defeat. Some of the elite members of the Beiwei Army were defeated at that time, and they lost their military positions. They later regained their positions. Appointed commander.
That defeat had a great impact on Zhao Yucheng, causing his military level to be widely questioned. It has not improved until now. When everyone talks about the son of the leader, they will think of Zhao Yucheng's previous defeat.
Without military merit, of course, one would not have a firm foothold within the military group known as the Liberation Army.
However, Zhao Yucheng didn't seem to realize this and had no concerns about it.
He thought that if Zhao Kaishan temporarily let him take this position, then he should continue to do it honestly and eventually make some achievements.
During his time in power, Zhao Kaishan did many things that were not very good for the Liberation Army. Zhao Kaishan himself did not know it, but Zhao Yucheng, who was inside the army, knew it very well.
He knew that some of Zhao Kaishan's policies had done great harm to the Liberation Army and the people, and they should be revised. Otherwise, the Liberation Army would never go far and would lose the support of the people.
Taking this opportunity, Zhao Yucheng planned to do something to reverse the decline of the Liberation Army and bring the Liberation Army back to the right path.
So while Zhao Kaishan was sleeping, Zhao Yucheng convened a group of military generals and decided to hold a meeting to discuss the future direction of the Liberation Army.
At the meeting, Zhao Yucheng took the initiative to speak and decided to correct some mistakes made by Zhao Kaishan when he was in power.
Zhao Yucheng's thoughts were greatly influenced by Su Yonglin.
All along, Zhao Yucheng has been communicating with Su Yonglin, asking Su Yonglin about his doubts and seeking answers.
Therefore, in terms of military and political thought, under the subtle influence of Su Yonglin, he gradually accepted Su Yonglin's idea that the Liberation Army's uprising must rely on the people at the bottom.
He began to believe that the Liberation Army should not rely solely on the powerful landlords, but should also tilt its policies towards farmers and refugees, and allocate part of the fruits of the Liberation Army to farmers, in order to mobilize the enthusiasm of farmers and refugees for the uprising.
This will fundamentally solve the increasingly serious problem of recruitment difficulties faced by the Liberation Army.
Zhao Kaishan's previous forced recruitment of soldiers and spending money to buy soldiers from powerful landlords were noticed by Zhao Yucheng. He strongly disagreed with such an unsustainable model and felt that the Liberation Army must establish a stable and reliable recruitment model.
Just recruiting troops is no longer possible.
"The source of troops comes from the common people, and why do the common people follow the Liberation Army to fight? I think the first is the hatred for the Jurchens of the Jin Kingdom, and the second is that they can get the results of the war, land and money, but before, we did not do a good job Meet the needs of the people.
Recruiting them to join the army only provides them with simple military pay and food. In some cases, even the military pay and simple food are not provided. After victory, they can only receive a small amount of bounty, and after death in battle, they can only receive a small amount of pension. land.
This is a very disappointing thing for the people, so we find that it is becoming more and more difficult to recruit soldiers, and it is even necessary to use forced recruitment methods, which greatly hurts the people's hearts.
Once the people lose their support, they will lose their military resources. This is too dangerous for the Liberation Army. Just imagine if we could reward part of the land captured from the Jin people to ordinary people, how could they not actively join the army? "
At the meeting, Zhao Yucheng gave his own plan to solve the problem of difficult recruitment and further requested its implementation.
He advocated granting part of the public land seized from the Jin government and Jurchen landowners since the war to ordinary people who contributed to the Liberation Army, so that they could receive land rewards and the dividends of the uprising.
Only in this way can their enthusiasm be truly mobilized.
And this will increase the amount of land and household registration that can collect taxes, making the logistics of the Liberation Army more powerful.
He wanted to count the number of public lands actually controlled by the Liberation Army and the number of people in the area who had not obtained land, conduct a general review, and then carry out the land granting operation.
Of course, if public land is found to have been encroached upon, it must be recovered and punished.
This proposal was put on the table, and for a moment the expressions of everyone in the congregation felt a little strange.
To say who has received the most dividends from the uprising, everyone here obviously has a share.
Not to mention the Zhao clan members who were already part of the Zhao family before the war, all of them are extremely rich. Even Li Xiao, Chen Qiaoshan and other people who were just elite thugs around Zhao Kaishan before the war, now at least have one An industry with thousands of acres of land.
Zhao Kaishan is not stingy with his own people in the Zhao family. Every time he wins a battle, he will reward his subordinates with land, money, servants, etc. Even an upright official can easily accumulate a relatively large fortune under Zhao Kaishan. industry.
This is all legitimate and legitimate income.
And after he became the leader and had a greater desire for power, he paid less attention to land and money. He valued power and status more, instead of holding on to a few acres of land.
Therefore, in Zhao Kaishan's view, the occupation of public land was not even a problem, and he turned a blind eye for a long time.
Anyway, as long as he, Zhao Kaishan, is the largest landowner in the land industry, that is enough.
So in a sense, everyone is not very clean.
If we really want to implement Zhao Yucheng's policies, almost no one will have no problems.
