Once a war breaks out, not only the military must be prepared, but the people must also be prepared.
In a war, no one can stay out of it, so in the countryside, instructors have begun to frequently tell farmers about the dangers and inevitability of the coming war during labor and literacy classes, so that everyone can prepare for the worst. .
What's the worst-case scenario?
Probably the whole army was wiped out, Commander Su died heroically in battle, and those who followed him in Shandong and Hebei were massacred by the Jin army.
Rivers of blood flowed and mountains of corpses piled up.
The farmers felt that such a situation was unlikely to happen because they trusted Su Yonglin very much and felt that Su Yonglin was the strongest general in the world.
The instructors don't think so. They are more rational and feel that anything can happen on the battlefield.
"Commander Su is good at fighting, but no one can say what will happen on the battlefield. When that time comes, you must try your best to escape. The army will buy you time in front, and we instructors will also be the first to do so. Time brings the news back.
Once you learn that things are not going well on the front line, you must not hesitate. Immediately drag your family with you and run south. Run as far as you can. Don’t stay where you are. Don’t feel that your homeland is hard to leave, so you are unwilling to leave. You must go. , If you don’t leave, the golden soldiers will come and kill many, many people.
Of course, you can rest assured that the Liberation Army will not fail so easily. Su Shuai will try his best to defeat the Jin Army. Even if the strength is not enough, the Liberation Army will definitely protect you and prevent you from being harmed before all members of the Liberation Army die in battle. "
These words made the farmers' eyes red and worried, and some of them who were very emotional shed tears on the spot.
They saw how Commander-in-Chief Su of the Liberation Army treated them.
Whether your life is going well or not is the most intuitive thing to see. It is displayed in front of everyone.
People's hearts are made of flesh, and General Su treats them as human beings, making them really feel like human beings. How can they do something worse than a pig or a dog?
Many farmers stepped forward on the spot, held the instructor's hand, and began to pour out their innermost thoughts.
"Instructor, our land was given to us by General Su, our house was given to us by General Su, our farm tools and cattle were sold cheaply by General Su, and we didn't make any money at all. The eyes of the several members of our family are not blind because General Su can read!
Help the army with work, Commander Su takes care of the food. If you have money, you will give me money. If you don’t have money, you will give me a piece of paper. The money can be deducted from taxes. You can get as much as you want. You are a good boy. The army does not disturb the people when passing through the border. It also helps us clean up and help us. Work, in all our years of living, we have never seen soldiers like this!
Commander-in-Chief Su really didn’t lie to us. He treated us as human beings and treated us with all his heart. He said everything he could say and did everything he could. He made sure we were not hungry and even took us to buy the best quality food. Overthrow people and give us a better life.
Who doesn’t like days like this? But we also know that only General Su can give us such a life. If the golden thief comes back, will we still have such a life? Hey! The human heart is made of flesh. Such a huge favor, one life, is really not a big deal.
Instructor, just ask, how many people does General Su need to help him fight gold thieves? We don't dare to talk about other villages. Just our village self-defense force. Counting the old and young men in the village, there are about 200 people who can handle swords and guns. With the commander's order, we can spare our lives. "
The old farmers held the instructor's hand with their big, calloused hands. On their wrinkled skin that had been tanned by the sun, their eyes were particularly shining, full of sincerity and determination.
Such a scene made the instructors stunned, and soon their hearts became hot, realizing that the world Su Yonglin described to them was gradually taking shape.
These once confused farmers have woken up.
They are awake, they are no longer confused, they know what they should live for, and know what they can do. Besides facing the loess and turning their backs to the sky, they have other things to do.
Su Yonglin was very happy. He saw the awakening of the people and the tremendous power that emerged after the people were educated and organized.
They just didn't get education and were not organized in the past. Once they get education and get organized, they will explode with extremely powerful power. It cannot be completely wiped out by a powerful army.
This is the true public sentiment.
You can see and touch the real and unadulterated public sentiment.
They know when to fight, who to help, and where to stand.
Taking a deep breath, Su Yonglin put down the instructor's work report from Yucheng County, Jinan Prefecture, rubbed his eyes, and suddenly felt extremely relieved.
This education funding was not in vain. He did not spend this money that could be used to at least double the military expansion.
The expenditure he requested from the Food and Rating Department was worth more than the education funds given directly to the village peasant associations. The amount of money was not small. In order to eliminate illiteracy and help the production and construction of new rural areas, there were still quite a lot of expenses that needed to be pointed out.
Pens, ink, paper and inkstones are indispensable. In some places, production has been severely damaged. In order to allow them to resume production, meal subsidies are provided. In other places, people have little interest in literacy, so small prizes are used to attract them to learn to read.
He used various means to call on the people to learn to read, carry out literacy campaigns, and vigorously eliminate illiteracy in rural areas.
When his own foundation was still not stable, he helped them to recognize words bit by bit, word by word, and helped them open their eyes to see the world and have their own consciousness.
Because he knew this was very important. Before overthrowing the Jin Kingdom, he could not have any stable foundation. The foundation did not appear for no reason, especially for a rebellion of his nature, the foundation must be built by himself.
The harder it is, the harder it is. The more financial resources are tight, the more nervous it is. Every time an illiterate is eliminated, his foundation will be more solid. Every success in the construction of a new rural area will make his foundation grow a little more.
This thought and expenditure really paid off, and at this moment, Su Yonglin saw the rewards.
The best rewards in the world.
Wan Yanliang, what you have to face is not only my army of more than 200,000, but also the two million people who have awakened or are in the process of awakening. You are powerful, but I have two million people who have piled up for me. backing.
Did you push me down?
In the future, the number of awakened people will continue to increase, three million, four million, five million, eight million, ten million...
When they wake up one after another, get rid of the shackles of ignorance, and transcend the boundaries of the past to realize a new life, what else can stop them from going further?
Su Yonglin faced the north, feeling that his dream was coming here step by step.
In order to make his dream come true, Su Yonglin knew that this upcoming decisive battle with the Kingdom of Jin could not be lost, no matter what, he must win with all possible means.
In late August, Su Yonglin synthesized intelligence from all parties and had a premonition that the Khitans' defeat was imminent. Once the Khitans were defeated and could no longer threaten the central capital of the Jin Kingdom, Wan Yanliang would immediately go south to deal with him.
With all the attacks and plunders he had on Wan Yanliang during this period, Wan Yanliang hated him so much that it was almost impossible for him to continue to endure it.
Therefore, time was pressing and no time waited. Su Yonglin immediately convened a general military meeting and announced the implementation of the strategy of strengthening the wall and clearing the country.
The so-called "strengthening the wall and clearing the country" means to snatch away all the people and materials in a certain area, leaving no manpower and material resources for the enemy to use.
The area where Su Yonglin decided to implement the strategy of strengthening the wall and clearing the field was the entire Hebei area that he could control.
Everyone worked together to do their best to turn the land of Hebei into a white land where no military supplies could be obtained, so that the Jin Army could not obtain any effective supplies and lengthen the Jin Army's supply line.
It's hard to do this.
Strong walls and clear fields are definitely more than just four words.
If these four words were so easy to implement, there would not be so many failed defense cases in Chinese history.
It takes time to strengthen the walls and clear the country. It requires a large number of manpower and control of the grassroots. It requires strong mobilization and the trust of the people, as well as the high prestige of the leaders themselves.
Most governments don't have this.
And as it happens, Su Yonglin has them all.
With his strong prestige and excellent credibility, he has accumulated an excellent reputation among the people.
Although this kind of reputation is usually invisible and intangible, as if it does not exist, once an emergency occurs, this kind of good reputation has huge power to reverse the situation.
Just like the voices of those old farmers.
If something really happened, Su Yonglin said, for them, risking one's life is not something they can't do, as long as Su Yonglin needs it.
This is an important prerequisite for strengthening the walls and clearing the wilderness.
