Su Yonglin had previously thought about letting Zhao Yucheng take over his father's position and continue to be the leader to help him deal with the Southern Song Dynasty and stabilize Zhao Kaishan's ruling area.
But now that he saw what Zhao Yucheng did that directly caused him to overturn, he realized that Zhao Yucheng was too young and restless and needed a good education.
The person who can stabilize Shandong and help him deal with the Southern Song Dynasty is not Zhao Yucheng.
In this case, there is only Zhao Zuoliang.
"Since Mr. Zhao has a high status and seniority, why doesn't Su Shuai let Mr. Zhao come forward? If Mr. Zhao can come forward to serve as the leader of the Liberation Army, wouldn't Shandong be stable? And it is as stable as Mount Tai, so there is no need to worry at all."
Xin Qiji's words opened up Su Yonglin's thinking, and he felt that this strategy was somewhat interesting.
Tian Guizi obviously thinks so too.
He clapped his hands.
"Yes, Alang, Mr. Zhao is also a member of the Zhao family, and his relationship with Zhao Kaishan is very close. His seniority, seniority, qualifications and merit are far above Zhao Xiang. If he steps forward to take up this position, everything will go smoothly!"
Su Yonglin crossed his arms and thought for a while.
"This is indeed a way, but my father-in-law has actually fallen out with the Zhao family. He broke away from the Zhao family and came to me to seek asylum. He lost his position and his status within the Zhao family. If he goes back now, the Zhao family will Do you acknowledge him?"
Tian Guizi immediately shook his head in denial.
"Whether the Zhao family admits it or not is not important. What matters is whether people other than the Zhao family are willing to admit him. Alang, you are behind Mr. Zhao."
Xin Qiji agreed.
"The landowner's book makes sense. Although the commanders and supervisors of the Liberation Army are all members of the Zhao family, the officers and soldiers below are not surnamed Zhao, and the landlords and squires who support them are not surnamed Zhao either. The Zhao family After so many defeats, it has long lost its prestige.
If there is a better choice in front of them, what does Su Shuai think they will choose? Will you continue to follow the Zhao family all the way to the dark side with all your heart, or will you continue to follow you behind Mr. Zhao?
They themselves should also know that it doesn't matter to ordinary soldiers who follow the Liberation Army to raise troops and cause trouble. They, the respectable ones, will not be able to survive if the Liberation Army is destroyed. They must follow a capable leader to survive. "
Su Yonglin narrowed his eyes, looked at Xin Qiji, and then at Tian Guizi, and suddenly felt that this idea was interesting.
"You mean... to let me control Shandong from behind and be the mastermind behind it?"
"At the beginning of the Jin Kingdom's southward march, due to lack of experience and fierce resistance in the Central Plains, the Jin people did not dare to rule directly, so they successively set up two emperors of Chu and Qi to govern on their behalf. They controlled the situation behind the scenes and acted as the mastermind behind the scenes. Actual control of the Central Plains.”
Xin Qiji said slowly: "After the Song and Jin Dynasties negotiated peace and stopped fighting, and the Central Plains had been separated from the Song Kingdom for a long time, the time was ripe, and the Jin Kingdom abolished the emperor Liu Yu and directly ruled the Central Plains. Therefore, the Jin people also did it step by step, not directly. rule."
Su Yonglin understood what Xin Qiji meant.
He hoped that he could use Zhao Zuoliang's identity to let Zhao Zuoliang gain the leadership of the Shandong Liberation Army, and that he would become Zhao Zuoliang's actual controller behind the scenes, and use Zhao Zuoliang's hand to actually control the entire Shandong.
When the time is right, Zhao Zuoliang will be allowed to retire with honor, and Su Yonglin will officially stand in front of the stage to take charge.
Of course, by that time, neither the Jin Kingdom nor the Southern Song Dynasty could influence Su Yonglin anymore, he was already invincible.
So Su Yonglin thought about it carefully and felt that it still made sense.
At that time, the Jin people did not dare to rule the Central Plains rashly, so they chose to let the two emperors Zhang Bangchang and Liu Yu temporarily rule the Central Plains to appease the people. After the people of the Central Plains were settled, they could directly rule the Central Plains.
Later, after Yue Fei died, Song and Jin signed a peace treaty, demarcating the boundaries between the two countries in terms of legal provisions, and clarified the issue. By the way, the Jin State also accumulated some experience in ruling the Han people, and then abolished the puppet Qi and directly ruled the Central Plains.
Although it cannot be copied completely, it can be used as a reference.
The Jin Kingdom in the north is preparing for a large-scale southern expedition, and the Song Kingdom in the south is ready to stab them in the back at any time. At this time of critical survival, they must not let the backyard catch fire.
Even if you can't simply rule that half of Shandong by yourself, using Zhao Zuoliang to control that half of Shandong on your behalf is still a coup.
At least Zhao Zuoliang is much calmer than Zhao Xiang. He is still one of his own, reliable and will not make any deceptive moves during the decisive battle between himself and Jin Bing.
Su Yonglin thought this and gradually had an idea in his mind, so he stood up and walked to Xin Qiji and Tian Guizi, holding their hands one by one.
"Guizi, You'an, you two are my good assistants, both civil and military. I can no longer live without you."
Xin Qiji and Tian Guizi were very happy.
"It is my honor to be able to advise Su Shuai."
Su Yonglin then had a rough idea about Zhao Xiang.
Against a small group with an unstable foundation that cannot even be considered a political power, the relatively stable quasi-regime controlled by Su Yonglin can achieve a crushing victory.
It just needs a name that everyone can live with, so that the ruling power can achieve a relatively smooth and beautiful transition without causing major turmoil.
This is the name of Zhao Zuoliang.
And everyone needs stability.
After a few days, Su Yonglin took some time to go home and invited Zhao Kaishan and Mrs. Zhao to have dinner at home in the name of a family gathering.
Zhao Xirui was very happy.
As a newlywed, Zhao Xirui really missed Su Yonglin.
After Su Yonglin entered work mode, he was away from home all day long. He often slept in the military camp. Occasionally, he could only have a meal with her when he went home. If he wanted to be gentle, he would have to rush back to the military camp to do things.
After finally sleeping with her, Su Yonglin would get up quietly before dawn to go to the military camp for business. When Zhao Xirui woke up, he found that Su Yonglin had gone, there was no one around, and the bed was cold.
Although Zhao Xirui is used to reading and practicing calligraphy alone, and is used to making herself happy by herself, now that there are people around her, she still particularly hopes to be with more people around her.
Zhao Xirui was very happy to finally have a full night with Su Yonglin today. She personally taught the cook at home what to cook and was very busy inside and outside.
When Su Yonglin brought Zhao Zuoliang and Mrs. Zhao back at ten o'clock in the evening, Zhao Xirui was very happy. Zhao Xirui was very happy during the whole dinner. Zhao Zuoliang and Mrs. Zhao saw Zhao Xirui's happy face and knew that Su Yonglin was treating her well, so they relaxed. tone.
This marriage does not seem to be as dangerous as imagined. Instead, both husband and wife can understand each other, which would be great.
A very pleasant dinner.
After the meal, Zhao Xirui took Mrs. Zhao to the house to talk, while Zhao Zuoliang followed Su Yonglin to wander around the yard and talk about miscellaneous things.
"Seeing you and Xirui getting along lovingly makes me feel like a big stone has fallen to the ground. I used to worry that you two wouldn't get along well and that you would have all kinds of troubles, but now I don't worry so much anymore. "
Zhao Zuoliang looked at Su Yonglin with a smile: "You are a good and responsible man, I have never doubted this."
"Don't worry, father-in-law. Regarding Xirui's matter, I will definitely pay attention to it. Even if I am busy with military affairs, I will definitely make time to accompany her whenever possible and will not neglect her."
"That's enough."
Zhao Zuoliang sighed: "You are busy with military affairs, so don't put too much energy on Xirui. It is enough to spend time with her occasionally... I hope this life can continue and never change."
Su Yonglin smiled.
He knew what Zhao Zuoliang meant. He simply hoped that he could defeat the Kingdom of Jin, stabilize the current situation, and extend this period of stability a little longer.
But this is impossible. There are only two possibilities in the future. One is that he defeats the Kingdom of Jin, successfully evolves into the Lord of the Central Plains, and further reverses the situation to become the Lord of the World.
The second is to be defeated and die, and everyone is finished together.
There is no third possibility.
But at this time, he could only say one sentence.
"I'll do my best."
Zhao Zuoliang said nothing and laughed for a while.
After walking for a while, Su Yonglin brought the topic back on track.
"You already know about my brother's death from illness, right?"
