"Revival meeting? I vaguely heard it mentioned by the military instructor. It seems that Su Shuai personally proposed it to prepare for the subsequent management of the Yellow River. What happened?"
Zhou Zhi was a little surprised. He didn't know why Zhang Yuejing suddenly mentioned this to him.
"I am one of the Revival members."
"You went to a revival meeting?"
Zhou Zhi asked curiously: "In the future, you will not lead troops to fight? Are you going to control the Yellow River? How could that happen? You are a person who can take charge of your own affairs. Today, the entire Liberation Army can lead troops to fight alone. Except for Su Shuai, you are Number one."
Zhang Yuejing shook his head.
"The Renaissance Society is not just that. Although managing the Yellow River is important, it is not all that the Renaissance Society needs to handle. Do you know who is joining the Renaissance Society now?"
"Which ones?"
"As far as I know so far, basically all the old people who started the army with Alang have joined. There are also some people who have achieved great military success after arriving in Shandong and have some understanding of Alang's teachings. They have also been invited to join the revival meeting."
Zhou Zhi suddenly became interested.
"Invitation? Isn't the Revival Association a government agency? Aren't the people in it appointed? Do you want to invite?"
"It's really not true. Alang said on the surface that the Renaissance Association is a government agency, but in fact it is not the case. Members of the Renaissance Association are invited to join or recommended by others. Apart from these two ways, it seems that other ways to join the association are currently not accepted."
"That's it."
Seeing Zhou Zhi thinking, Zhang Yuejing smiled.
"Do you want to join? If you want to join, I can be your recommender and write a letter of recommendation for you. After that, someone from the Revival Association will be sent to talk to you. After the conversation, we can determine whether you can join. "
Zhou Zhi was stunned.
"Recommendation letters? There are still conversations? Are there still people who can't join? What's going on?"
"Of course, not just anyone can join the revival meeting. It was only after I joined the meeting that I found out that some old people who joined the army with Alang failed to pass the interview, so they were not accepted. Now I regret asking questions from the instructors in the army every day. Ask this or that.”
Zhang Yuejing smiled and said: "That's true. I have been with Alang for so long and can't even get through the conversation. It shows that my mind is not on building a great cause together, and I don't know what other things I am thinking about. It's okay not to accept it, otherwise I will accept it. He must also be expelled."
Zhou Zhi pointed at himself.
"I know very little about this aspect. I've only heard it mentioned sporadically by the instructor, but I haven't really studied it. I'm afraid I won't be able to pass this conversation, right?"
Zhang Yuejing looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he lowered his throat and whispered: "Then ask the instructor more and learn from it. I am very optimistic about you, and I tell you, there are some things that can only be solved by revival." Only members can know.”
Zhang Yuejing looked mysterious and mysterious, which made Zhou Zhi feel itchy. He immediately asked Zhang Yuejing to write a letter of recommendation to the Renaissance Association Organization Office to recommend him to join the Renaissance Association.
With his keen sense of smell, Zhou Zhi felt that the revival meeting must not be a simple existence.
Many veteran generals and officers in the army joined one after another, and new talents were also invited to join. It can be imagined that this Renaissance Association was definitely not just established to control the Yellow River.
Su Yonglin must have some other purpose in establishing this organization and inviting people to join it in this way.
What is the purpose of Su Shuai, who is always victorious in all battles?
Zhou Zhi knew that Zhang Yuejing would definitely not say anything further, so he did not continue to ask. He kept this matter in mind and devoted his energy to the current war.
The most important thing right now is definitely the Kaifeng war.
Although the siege of Kaifeng was successful, it was obviously still a long way from being conquered.
After the siege of the city, the Liberation Army invested heavily in various siege equipment, including Thor cannons and rockets. The entire Kaifeng City was rumbling from morning to night. The city was bombed into a mess, and the Jin Army defenders in the city were constantly Faced with the threat of death every moment.
Compared with threats that are visible to the naked eye, the more terrifying threats are mental threats.
In addition to projecting many captured Jin Army battle flags into the city, the Liberation Army also rolled a lot of papers with writing on them on arrows and shot them into the city. It doesn't matter if the illiterate soldiers can't read them. Of course, there are literate people who can understand them. People exist.
Of course, there are many Han people among these people. In other words, the main personnel stationed in Kaifeng are Han people. The Jurchens are only a minority, including the supreme leader Kong Yanzhou himself, who is also Han.
Of course he is not important. As a superior person and an important representative of the high-ranking Han people in the Kingdom of Jin, he will undoubtedly die.
What matters is what other lower-status Han people think.
High-level Han people are completely different from ordinary Han people. Some high-level Han people even do better than Jurchens, and are even more Jurchen than Jurchens. Compared with ordinary Han people, they don't even look like the same race. They don't Care about the life and death of the Han people at the bottom.
Everyone knows this, but no one has said it clearly. What the Liberation Army has to do now is to speak out clearly and put the bloody truth in front of everyone so that everyone can see it thoroughly.
Therefore, the sentences written in the letter written by the Liberation Army with arrows fired into the city are very simple and easy to understand.
Basically, Wanyan Liang died, the 500,000-man Southern Jin Army was wiped out, the Liberation Army had begun to counterattack Yanyun, and the Jin Kingdom was about to end.
However, the Liberation Army targeted the Jurchens who ruled the Jin Kingdom, and did not target other ethnic groups such as the Hans and Khitans. As long as the Jurchens were eliminated and liquidated, other Liberation Army would be willing to accept them as their own.
Therefore, the Han and Khitan brothers in the city, you must understand your situation, and you must think about your future, your life, and your family.
You who are not Jurchens at all, will you die for the Jin Kingdom, or will you rise up to resist, kill all the Jurchens, and fall into the arms of the Liberation Army?
Stop being stubborn, rise up and resist quickly, kill all your Jurchen officers, open the city gates, and welcome the Liberation Army into the city!
After the Liberation Army enters the city, it will only bring you a life of light corvée and meager wealth, and will not make you live so tired anymore!
Let's start!
Kill the Jurchens in the city, tie up Kong Yanzhou, open the city gate, and welcome the Liberation Army into the city!
Turn over and call the shots! ! !
Very targeted and inflammatory sentences gradually spread through the mouths of partially literate people.
By the time Kong Yanzhou realized something was wrong and ordered not to spread the Liberation Army leaflets, the contents of the leaflets had basically spread throughout the entire city defense force.
Although Kong Yanzhou quickly dispatched his personal guards and a small number of female real soldiers to collect all the leaflets of the Liberation Army and burn them, no one dared to say that all the huge number of leaflets that the Liberation Army shot into the city had really been collected. .
Facing the huge group of Han people who accounted for about 95% of the entire city defense force, Kong Yanzhou broke into a cold sweat.
For the first time, he felt the unreliability of a small clan facing a big country, and how embarrassing it was to be a pure traitor and Ergouzi at such a time.
In fact, other lower-class Han people or low-level Han military officers can surrender and change their families, because they have low status, do less evil, and have little influence, but he cannot.
He was the commander-in-chief and an important official. He also had a great grudge against the Liberation Army and massacred the population in the areas controlled by the Liberation Army. The Liberation Army named him and wanted to capture him alive.
If he is captured alive, he will definitely end badly.
Also feeling cold sweat was the representative of the Jurchens - He Shilie Zhining.
He found Kong Yanzhou and asked him what to do.
Judging from the content on the flyer, Heshi Liezhining was sure that Kong Yanzhou was reliable and could stand with the Jurchens. Because of the Liberation Army's statement, there was still room for improvement in the situation in the city.
If the Liberation Army could even win over Kong Yanzhou, then Heshi Liezhining really planned to run away with oil on his feet.
If the Han people in the city are really to have some thoughts that they shouldn't have, none of them, the powerful Jurchens, can even think of running away.
But when He Shi Liezhining went to find Kong Yanzhou, Kong Yanzhou was more anxious and flustered than him.
"How do I know what to do? Who should I ask if you ask me? The bandit army asked the city soldiers by name to kidnap me out of the city to collect the reward. I will only be more dangerous than you, do you understand?"
Kong Yanzhou pointed at He Shi Liezhining and burst into anger, which made He Shi Liezhining feel angry, but thinking that he was the only hope at the moment, he really didn't dare to offend him.
So Heshi Liezhining could only humble himself.
"Then we have to come up with a charter. If we don't care about it, over time, things will inevitably change in the city."
Kong Yanzhou glanced at He Shi Liezhining, nodded helplessly, and said, "What do you think?"
"We can't let the rumors continue to spread. We must tell the city defenders that His Majesty is not dead. The Southern Expedition is victorious. Everything the rebels say is to deceive our army and try to trick us into opening the gate of Kaifeng City. We cannot believe it. "
"Do you believe this?"
Kong Yanzhou looked at He Shi Lie Zhining.
"what do you mean?"
Heshi Liezhining looked at Kong Yanzhou in surprise.
"What I mean is, don't you understand? There are so many battle flags of our army, but they are all bugles and flags of the newly formed army. Doesn't that mean something?"
Heshi Liezhining was horrified.
"Don't say such nonsense! How could your Majesty fail? How could the Southern Expedition be destroyed? That is a major matter related to the survival of the Kingdom of Jin! General Kong, you can't say this!"
Kong Yanzhou took a deep breath and held his head in his hands.
"I don't want to believe it, but those battle flags are all real... The Thirty-second Southern Expedition Army, there are twelve battle flags here! Twelve! At least twelve armies have been destroyed, Zhining, ten The two armies have been destroyed!"
Heshi Liezhining swallowed and sat down on a chair, a look of despair gradually filling his face.
"Actually, what I should have thought of, but I just don't want to admit it, is that there should be no reinforcements in Kaifeng, General Kong? No matter how much we wait, we won't be able to get reinforcements, right?"
"The border guards in the south may still be able to mobilize 10,000 or 20,000 people, but so what? Or they can ask for help in the direction of Guanzhong. There may be troops in Guanzhong, but... so what? The main force fell, the emperor was killed, and the rebel army counterattacked Yan Yun, what can we do?"
Kong Yanzhou shook his head repeatedly, his face full of despair: "Kaifeng is an isolated city, and the entire Nanjing Road is also isolated. There is no possibility for us to turn the tide."
Heshi Liezhining didn't know what to say for a long time. He just sat there with empty eyes and a blank mind.
It wasn't until Jing Sihui heard the news that he came to Kong Yanzhou's left-behind residence to ask for help. Kong Yanzhou stood up helplessly and told Jing Sihui his guess.
At this moment, Jing Sihui was simply stunned.
"Is the Southern Expedition really over? His Majesty was really killed? How could it be? That's nearly half a million people..."
"So what? There have been hundreds of thousands of defeats in battles throughout the ages. Now it's just one more example."
Kong Yanzhou smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's ridiculous that we still harbored fantasies before, and imagined that all this was fake, but these are very likely to be true. We have no retreat. Kaifeng is already a dead city."
"how so……"
Jing Sihui's legs gave way and he fell to the ground.
Normally, Kong Yanzhou and He Shi Liezhining would definitely want to lend a hand, but now, the two of them were sitting on the chairs without even looking at Jing Sihui, who was sitting on the ground.
At this time, who cares about the difference between central bosses and local officials?
Once the city is broken, everything will be exactly the same, there will be no difference.
