After the order of Jianbi Qingye was issued, the whole of Hebei began to move.
Almost all the clerks of the Liberation Army rushed out. Except for the necessary personnel who stayed behind, almost all personnel went out to do business.
And there are still many problems.
First of all, the cities these days are not as big as imagined, and the population they can accommodate is relatively limited, so most of the county towns have been abandoned by Su Yonglin long ago, leaving only relatively large cities.
And these relatively large cities are only relatively large. In fact, they are still not very ideal and cannot accommodate too many people.
Therefore, according to the planned plan, the army was arranged to move the people southward to Shandong for the population that could not be accommodated, and the mature new rural areas in Shandong were ordered to shelter these Hebei refugees on their behalf.
Most of Su Yonglin's base is in the new rural areas of Shandong. It is not difficult to ask them to help accept these Hebei refugees.
At the same time, other work also needs to be carried out, such as the collection and transfer of grain.
In addition to the grain controlled by Su Yonglin, there are also some grains privately owned by local governments and farmers. All of these grains need to be transported to these thirty cities for storage and distribution, leaving no possibility for Jin Bing to obtain grain.
In addition to food, fuels such as coal and wood are also very important. Winter is coming. Without enough fuel, not to mention heating, even basic life cannot be guaranteed.
Therefore, Su Yonglin also delivered large quantities of coal, wood and other fuels to these cities, and at the same time asked the people in the city to organize their own firewood harvesting, so as to store as much fuel as possible for the winter.
Considering the problem of insufficient housing allocation, Su Yonglin also equipped these cities with a number of military tents to ensure the basic living conditions of the people in the city.
Even if you don't have a house to live in, you can still live in a tent, survive this cold, harsh and chilling winter, and hold on until the spring when the flowers bloom.
Arranging the main population and supplies in these thirty cities, giving them sufficient amounts of food, fuel, cloth, ordnance, etc., and ensuring the safety of water in the city will be enough for them to stick to the city and not need to go out at will.
In this way, these cities will become war fortresses.
As a result, all land and water transportation forces in Hebei were fully mobilized, including civilian and military forces.
In addition to material issues and population and housing issues, there are also military defense issues.
Su Yonglin's plan is to arrange a certain number of main troops and a certain number of independent battalion troops to guard most of these cities.
At the same time, taking into account the possibility of long-term fighting for more than three months, he also stipulated that each city must organize all the strong men in the city to join the reserve army, and all the people should be soldiers.
Generally, smaller cities look like this.
Important cities occupying transportation arteries and central cities with great political significance can accommodate a larger population and are the targets that the Jin Army will inevitably attack with all their strength. These cities will be assigned real elite troops to hold on to them and store grain and ordnance. There will be more.
After the preparations are done, all that remains is the actual command of the war.
The war command can only be handed over to the thirty city defense headquarters. This is something Su Yonglin cannot help them with anyway.
What he could do was to compile thirty "City Defense Manuals", in which he wrote down the methods of defending the city he learned from ancient military books and some of the wonderful ways he thought of to deal with difficulties.
Then give each of the thirty selected city defense commanders a copy and study it carefully.
In addition to the population under the direct control of the government and the New Rural Areas of the Liberation Army, the remaining population under the control of the landlords and gentry was also within the scope of Su Yonglin's consideration.
Considering that these landowners and gentry possess certain private military and defensive capabilities, and may not be willing to abandon their family farms and enter the city, Su Yonglin decided to allow them to form a stronghold to defend themselves.
But this level of self-defense must be based on their immediate action.
Su Yonglin will not allow them to disregard human lives with a lazy mind. What should be done must be done.
If you can't do it, you'll be fined heavily!
The population under their control must be moved to a farm or a simple dock with a certain degree of defense, gathered together, set up defenses on the only road they must pass, and organize self-defense forces to defend.
However, this is not something that the powerful landlords are unwilling to do.
Troops crossing the border have always been very scary. Killing and looting without distinguishing between ourselves and the enemy is basically the norm. Whether it is the army of one's own country or the enemy's army, they basically have the same moral character.
Not every army is the Liberation Army under the command of Su Yonglin.
Therefore, when the army crosses the border, capable landowners and gentry will often unite together and organize their tenant serfs to form a stronghold to defend themselves against the army's plunder. If necessary, they will fight with the army without being timid at all.
There is no official requirement for this, they will do it themselves.
But after Su Yonglin's request, they did it faster and more purposefully.
The thirty-six independent battalions originally organized in Hebei and that had received certain military training were local armed forces and were not under the command of anyone other than Su Yonglin.
Now that Su Yonglin's prestige is here, there is a certain cost to train the army, so no one can refuse Su Yonglin's request to mobilize troops to assist in defense.
They obediently handed over their troops to Su Yonglin for use.
Su Yonglin transferred half of the thirty-six independent battalions into the city and mixed them with the regular troops of the Liberation Army to take charge of the defense of thirty cities.
Basically all cities have 2,000 or 3,000 soldiers and horses, and only a few truly big cities have 4,000 or 5,000 elite soldiers.
Most of the city's defenders did not have many troops.
If there are too many, one will not be able to stand on the city wall, and both will reduce the mobile forces in Su Yonglin's hands, which will not be enough to launch a final major counterattack.
Another point is that if some small towns that are not geographically important are very tightly defended and the siege party thinks it is not worthwhile after calculating the cost, they will not attack desperately.
As for some large cities such as Hejian and Zhending, they are of great significance in themselves. They are cities that the Jin army will definitely besiege violently and capture. Moreover, the city walls are wide and deep, and there are many defensive weapons that can be erected. Technical units are required to operate the defensive weapons. Also a lot.
Therefore, this type of city must have a sufficient number of defenders.
Of course, the problem of few soldiers is not unsolvable.
Organization, the key is organization.
After each army garrisoned in the city to manage the city defense, they would also count and organize the strong men in the city, select some capable ones as reserve troops, and send active soldiers to teach them combat skills or how to operate city defense weapons.
They are the reserve army to defend the city. Depending on the situation, it is not impossible for a city to have more than 10,000 troops in a short period of time.
As long as there is no absolute technological gap between the defender and the siege, the price the siege has to pay to conquer the city must far exceed the price the defender has to pay to defend the city.
Su Yonglin assigned instructors to each city as part of the city defense headquarters.
With these instructors who have mastered organizational methods, the Jin soldiers who want to conquer these thirty war fortresses will definitely have to face more than just two or three thousand regular troops.
After the city defense forces are allocated, all the independent battalion forces will be handed over to their original battalion commanders, allowing them to guard their own property and arrange their own guard forces.
After a thorough arrangement and operation, the entire Hebei's system of clearing the country became clear.
Specifically, the entire system is divided into a model with cities as the main part and powerful farms as the supplement.
The officials carried out erecting walls and clearing the fields in the city, while the local powerful people carried out erecting walls and clearing the fields in the fields.
Su Yonglin was also very kind and told them how the Liaodong Jin Army dealt with the Khitans after they failed to surrender when they suppressed the Liaodong Khitans.
It probably means "kill them all"...
Wan Yanliang, that is a famous murderer. Don't think that you will get any good results by surrendering. Think about the lives of many Jurchens on your hands, and think about the identities of those Jurchens you killed. .
You can probably guess what will happen to you after you surrender.
Is there anyone else who can protect you besides me?
After giving them vaccinations, Su Yonglin didn't care too much.
When the war really breaks out, who surrenders and who holds on, who fails and who succeeds is not just something he can control. How long these farmhouses and forts in the countryside can last is also not something he can decide. .
All he can control is thirty cities. The more he can hold, the better. The more he can hold, the more exhausted the Jin army will be.
When the Jin army was exhausted to a certain level and its forces dispersed to a certain extent, it was time for Su Yonglin to launch the final counterattack.
