Su Yonglin's attitude towards this group of people was relatively cold.
The specific manifestation is that after the gift was accepted, the person came back and said that Su Yonglin didn't have time to talk to them about things and should wait a little longer.
Here they were rejected, and over there they pinned their hopes on the Kong family, who had been recruited but miraculously won.
They thought that the Kong family was a saint family after all, and there were still people serving as officers of the Liberation Army, so they hoped that the Kong family could speak to Su Yonglin on behalf of everyone, test Su Yonglin's attitude, and see what he needed to accept it. Everyone, let us continue to live our lives as before.
In short, they tried to give Su Yonglin some economic benefits in exchange for political benefits.
They want to join the Liberation Army.
But Kong's temptation was ignored by Su Yonglin.
The gift was received and the person came back, and the reply was the same - the Northern Expedition was imminent, and the deputy commander had no time to pay attention to this matter. Don't be anxious, we will discuss some trivial matters later.
trivia? !
What the fuck is this trivial matter? !
This kind of statement could not bring them any sense of security at all. In their view, this was clearly Su Yonglin's prevarication. Su Yonglin felt that they were a bunch of losers, falling on both sides, so he didn't want to see them at all.
They could not accept such an ending, so they gathered together to discuss a way with Kong Zheng and conduct a formal negotiation with Su Yonglin.
The worst thing is to give away some more benefits.
In the current situation, no one dares to go against the Liberation Army. As long as Su Yonglin recognizes their political status and interests and doesn't speak too loudly or be too greedy, they don't mind giving away more of their economic interests.
So there was this secret meeting that was disguised as a chicken baby conference but actually had political meaning.
"Everyone should be aware of the current situation. The Liberation Army captured the Central Plains. What contribution did you make? What contribution did you make? It can be said that it was nothing! I even heard that some of you have family members who are against the Liberation Army. ,Yes or no?"
Kong Zheng's eyes swept over the faces of several pale old men.
These people were all members of the family who served as officials of the Jin people. They fought against the Liberation Army when it swept through the Central Plains. They either died in battle, or did not surrender after being captured, and were then killed.
Opposite of them, some families, like the Kong family, were lucky enough to win.
Although members of the family were serving as officials in the Kingdom of Jin, they knew the current affairs and surrendered voluntarily, without causing losses to the Liberation Army. They were able to continue serving as officials and became the Liberation Army.
Of course, these families have settled down smoothly.
I heard that many unlucky gentry families went to these families to seek help, just like the Kong family's current situation.
However, these families are not large in number and belong to a very lucky few. They are not enough to serve as role models for everyone. The vast majority of surviving gentry families do not have such good luck.
Lou Gao, the head of the Lou family who was killed after someone in his clan rebelled against the Liberation Army, was so frightened that he took the initiative to seek help from the Kong family.
"Kong Gong, it is despicable that the clan members in my family are ignorant of Mount Tai and oppose the Liberation Army, but the person is already dead. General Su will not hold the family accountable, right?"
Seeing Lou Gao's worried look, Kong Zheng couldn't help but think of the scene when he met Su Yonglin.
Well, it's definitely not harmonious, and Su Yonglin is definitely not a kind person. On the contrary, he feels a little happy about grudges and can't get rid of the sand in his eyes.
Such a person may be a very vindictive person, thinking that if he doesn't help me, he will harm me. It is very likely that after the war, a centralized purge will be launched against this group of people.
The fate of the group of people in front of them may not be very good.
But he didn't dare to say such words, for fear of causing an unpredictable outcome. In the end, Su Yonglin would hold him accountable, which would be detrimental to the Kong family.
He could only tell nonsense.
"I have met General Su. General Su is well-educated and magnanimous. He will not care about such trivial matters. Moreover, the matter is over and everyone is dead. General Su will not pursue such responsibility."
This kind of words can indeed play a role in soothing people's hearts. Of course, I don't know whether it has actual effect.
However, saying this does not relieve everyone's worries. The vast majority of people still hope to get on the bus, keep up with the pace of the Liberation Army, gain political benefits, become the winner in the upcoming power reshuffle, and continue the glory of the family.
They do not want to fall behind and become losers. In the end, not only will they not get political benefits, they will not even be able to protect their economic interests, becoming miserable losers.
They have reason to believe that once they become losers, it will not only be the Liberation Army but also the group of jackals here who will feast on their corpses.
Jackals know jackals best.
But Kong Zheng told them not to worry so much.
"Actually, you don't need to worry so much. Although General Su did not express his position, he accepted the gifts from you, which shows that you are not enemies in his heart. If you were enemies, he would not accept your gifts at all, right? "
This is quite right, but everyone is a thousand-year-old fox, and no one is that easy to fool.
Shi Yongyuan, the head of the Shi family from Feixian County, Yizhou, felt inexplicably worried about this.
"The Central Plains is about to change its hands, and Su Yonglin will become the king and hegemony in the near future. Everyone knows that if we cannot get the recognition of the Liberation Army, it will be difficult. But everyone, do you understand Su Yonglin? "
Shi Yongyuan's words made everyone in the room a little stunned, and Kong Zheng didn't quite understand what this guy meant.
"Mr. Shi, tell me what you have to say."
Kong Zheng asked Shi Yongyuan not to be the Riddler and to let go as soon as possible.
Shi Yongyuan nodded and spoke slowly.
"The Liberation Army started in Yizhou. Zhao Kaishan is from Linyi. This group of people all came from Yizhou. So when it comes to understanding the Liberation Army, I say I know it better than you. You won't think that I Is that an exaggeration?"
Everyone in the room shook their heads and asked him to continue.
"At first I didn't think there was anything wrong. It's just an emperor and a courtier. But then my family told me some things that made me feel a little uneasy. You can listen to it."
Shi Yongyuan put down the tea bowl in his hand and said: "The banner of the Liberation Army is to expel the barbarians and regain China, so they have always been working against the Jurchens. The Jurchens in Shandong and Hebei have been uprooted and wiped out. .
The Jurchens are finished, and their land and tenants have naturally become the spoils of the Liberation Army, or Su Yonglin's spoils. I don't think it's strange. It's normal to rebel with your head.
But then I heard that Su Yonglin did not seem to have assigned the land to himself or the senior officials and generals of the Liberation Army, but gave it all to farmers. They destroyed all the original land deeds and deeds of sale, and divided the land among them. given to farmers. "
Shi Yongyuan said while looking around at everyone around him.
"It's free of charge. It doesn't cost anything at all. It's all given to the farmers."
