Su Yonglin, who had just defeated a partial division of the Jin army but had not yet defeated the main force of the Jin army, and Tian Guizi began to consider the destruction of Song and Xixia in the future.
If others were to look at it, they might laugh loudly at these two people for their wishful thinking.
The Jin Kingdom has not yet been destroyed, but they want to swallow up the Southern Song Dynasty?
But Su Yonglin really thought this way and planned to do this.
And is it ridiculous?
not necessarily.
Back then, those idealists lived in cave dwellings, using worn-out Hanyang-made and old sleeves, but they had already begun to discuss which aircraft carrier or battleship was stronger and more suitable for future naval battles.
If dreams are not bold, what can be bold?
Dreams should never be ridiculed at any time, and having no dreams is worthy of ridicule.
After Tian Guizi left, a little later, before dinner, when Su Yonglin was reviewing and approving documents from the Food and Rating Department, a special piece of information was delivered to him.
When he was reviewing the intelligence, Xin Qiji happened to come to Su Yonglin to return the manuscript he had borrowed before. Su Yonglin talked about this matter with Xin Qiji.
"Things are more complicated than I thought. There is something wrong with our Commander Zhao."
"Could it be that Commander Zhao is still determined to be a traitor and wants to do something else?"
After what happened before, Xin Qiji had a very poor sense of Zhao Kaishan and seemed to regard him as an enemy rather than one of his own.
He felt that anything Zhao Kaishan did was questionable.
Su Yonglin shook his head and said, "This is really not the case this time. Commander Zhao is ill, very seriously."
"Sick? Is it serious?"
Xin Qiji was a little surprised: "Could it be that Commander Zhao... is in trouble?"
"No definite information."
Su Yonglin spoke slowly: "At present, I only know that Commander Zhao has worked hard for a long time and did not have a good rest, so he is weak and weak. It is not a bad thing to be immune to the invasion of evil cold. Once invaded, all the evil energy accumulated in the body will gather together and become a serious illness. What kind of disease is it that comes like a mountain? It is said that famous doctors in Shandong believe that this disease is incurable."
"If it's not cured... shouldn't we just say that Commander Zhao is in trouble?"
"It's really hard to say. Whether Commander Zhao can handle it is indeed a question. Since he can't be a director now, he has temporarily handed over the leadership position to his son Zhao Yucheng."
"That... is really serious."
Xin Qiji frowned: "I didn't expect that it has reached the point where I can no longer manage. Su Shuai, will this affect us?"
If it's just a simple illness and it can be cured, then it's nothing.
But if it cannot be cured in the short term, or even unable to govern, it will be quite dangerous when it comes time to appoint a successor to take charge of the power on behalf of others.
Zhao Kaishan's illness is definitely serious and can be said to be life-threatening.
Zhao Kaishan is the leader of the Shandong Liberation Army. Once something happens to him, it will have an impact on the overall situation of the Liberation Army. Su Yonglin must be prepared.
So Xin Qiji was a little nervous.
"Commander Zhao is still alive and the Liberation Army will not collapse. The problem lies with Yucheng."
Su Yonglin sighed and said: "He is young and does not have much achievements. He has lost a battle before and is not taken seriously by others. He only has the reputation of being a leader but has no real ability to lead. The subordinates promoted by Commander Zhao are basically Even the superiors do not think highly of him, they all go their own way and do not take him seriously.”
"Young Master, I am suspicious."
Xin Qiji was well-read and had a deep understanding of this phenomenon. He said: "Zhao Yucheng is young and has no outstanding achievements. He cannot control the situation. Those capable generals and Zhao family members will definitely not listen. His, he’s in a bad situation.”
"That's indeed the case, and it's not just that. He also wants to clear out his father's land and sort out all the problems before the Liberation Army. It is said that there is a big fuss and there are many people who oppose it."
"this……"
"The problem is serious. The corruption problem within the Liberation Army is far beyond my imagination."
Su Yonglin put down the information in his hand: "But compared to this, I am more concerned about how Commander Zhao fell down like this. When he confronted me before, he was still full of energy and did not look sick at all. This time I collapsed right after I got back, and I was really sick."
Xin Qiji thought for a while and then said: "It can only be said that Commander Zhao does not pay attention to taking care of his body. There is no reliable doctor around him and he cannot persuade him to take care of his body in time. Therefore, such consequences can only be said to be embarrassing. "
"Indeed."
Su Yonglin sighed: "I'm really worried now that if he can't bear it anymore and passes away, what will happen to the huge Liberation Army left behind?"
Xin Qiji thought about it and felt that this issue was very important.
"Indeed, if Commander Zhao falls, and Zhao Yucheng is too young to be able to control the situation, the Liberation Army is likely to fall into civil strife. At that time, if someone with deliberate intentions causes chaos, the situation will be out of control, and it will also affect us. , affecting our Northern Expedition."
"yes."
Su Yonglin leaned on the chair and said softly: "We can only step up the collection of intelligence. In short, I must know the specific situation of Commander Zhao as soon as possible, and I must prepare for the worst."
"worst plans?"
"Leader Zhao died of illness, Zhao Yucheng was unable to control the situation, and the command of the Liberation Army was usurped by others."
Xin Qiji was shocked.
"This... is indeed very possible! Su Shuai, we must prepare early!"
"Well, prepare early."
Su Yonglin issued an order, asking Su Yin to allocate more manpower to pay attention to the situation in Zhao Kaishan in the south. If the situation changes, he needs to be informed as quickly as possible.
There must be no delay.
Su Yonglin has stepped up intelligence collection on Zhao Kaishan's ruling area, and the struggle between Zhao Xiang and Zhao Yucheng in Linyi City has become increasingly fierce.
The more unwilling Zhao Xiang and others were to let Zhao Yucheng's investigation lead to any results, the more Zhao Yucheng wanted to do the opposite and find out the reason and eliminate the moths within the Liberation Army.
For this reason, Zhao Xiang went to Zhao Yucheng twice more, and just told Zhao Yucheng directly that they were the masterminds behind the scenes and asked Zhao Yucheng not to continue the investigation, but Zhao Yucheng still refused.
He is such a stubborn person, he must get to the bottom of it and bring the Liberation Army back from the brink of collapse.
In a short period of time, Zhao Yucheng had already grabbed the braids of two small families, caught the heads of the two families and severely examined them, forcing them to vomit a lot of things.
Just as they were about to enter the most important part, the two men committed suicide in prison in one night, and the clues were lost.
Zhao Yucheng was even more angry, gritting his teeth and intensifying the investigation, which also aroused growing doubts and dissatisfaction among Zhao Xiang and others.
The conflict between the two sides is about to break out.
The trigger that led to the full-scale conflict was Zhao Kaishan's critical illness.
Since Zhao Kaishan returned to Linyi from Dongping Prefecture, he has been anxious and angry. He has lost face and pride. His illness has become worse and he is bedridden. The situation is very dangerous. The doctor used a lot of medicine to stabilize his condition. .
The doctor warned Zhao Kaishan many times to keep his mind quiet, not to get angry, to rest more, and to take good care of his body.
However, Zhao Kaishan has never had a bad temper and is very irritable. As he lay in bed doing nothing, he thought more and more of Su Yonglin's insults to him, and couldn't help but get angry.
He is the leader of the Liberation Army.
He is the leader of the uprising.
He is the creator of everything!
Su Yonglin is just a bastard! What a bastard!
His unstable mood prevented his condition from getting better, and even gradually worsened. Medication could not reverse it, so that in the early morning of May 7th, Zhao Kaishan became critically ill.
At that time, there was no one in charge of the Zhao mansion.
Zhao Yucheng worked hard at a government office in the city and worked all night long. Zhao Kaishan's wife and several other children gathered around Zhao Kaishan's bed and had no choice but to worry.
The doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at Zhao Kaishan, who was pale and breathless, and his heart pounded.
The problem is no longer something that can be reversed by manpower. He has exhausted all means and tried his best, but he has not been able to save Zhao Kaishan's life.
The time has come.
The doctor hesitated for a long time and finally chose to speak.
"Madam, it's better to call the elder of the family as soon as possible."
These words were tantamount to pronouncing Zhao Kaishan's death sentence. As if struck by lightning, Mrs. Zhao held Zhao Kaishan's hand and cried bitterly for a while. Then she ordered the old servant beside her to go to the government office in the city to call Zhao Yucheng and ask Zhao Kaishan to make arrangements for his funeral.
The old servant took the order, walked out of the gate of Zhao's mansion, and went straight to Zhao Xiang's mansion. He hurriedly and slowly brought the news to Zhao Xiang.
