The generals and soldiers of the Liberation Army raised flags and shouted loudly, drums and horns sounded, celebrating their victory.
They celebrated with joy that they had fulfilled their promise, fulfilled the great oath of "driving out the Hulu and regaining China", and overthrew the Jin Empire that was oppressing them.
With its unquestionable force, strong spirit and tenacious will, this army, with the poor people as its leaders and absolute main force, grew from weak to strong, from small to large, and finally overthrew the Jin Empire and became the master.
The courtiers of the Kingdom of Jin knelt on the ground and wept silently. Queen Tudan and Queen Mother Tudan kept wiping their tears. Wanyan Guangying buried her head in Queen Tudan's arms, sobbing.
Of course they don't want to accept this outcome, but they have to accept it.
Su Yonglin will never forget this day in his life.
Wanyan Guangying's emperor's clothes were stripped off by Su Yonglin himself, and the Queen Mother Tudan and Queen Tudan were also forced to take off the clothes of the Queen Mother and Queen.
Su Yonglin ordered his subordinates to light a fire and personally burned the clothes of the three members of the royal family until they were reduced to ashes.
The shadow of the flame was reflected in Su Yonglin's pupils. From this flame, Su Yonglin saw the fiery burning future.
The road ahead may be twists and turns, it may be difficult, and there may be many people blocking it, but he will continue to walk this path until the end of his life.
No one has passed by, so who dares to say no?
It's always been like this, right?
The old era has passed, and the new era has begun.
Because Jiang Yu had performed Su Yonglin's tasks very well in the previous period, Jiang Yu was appointed by Su Yonglin to temporarily assume the administrative tasks of Zhongdu. Jiang Yu was appointed by Su Yonglin as the Yin of Daxing Prefecture, and temporarily assumed the responsibility of managing Zhongdu. .
As for his subordinates, he temporarily dispatched a group of civilian officials from the army to help him put up a facade, take over administrative tasks first, and allocate an army to him to be temporarily responsible for maintaining public security in the central capital. After everything stabilizes, he can officially Reorganization.
After the tasks of Daxing Mansion were handed over, Su Yonglin began to deal with the myriad post-war matters.
The first is to restore normal life and production order in this area, which requires the cooperation of the military and administrative officials.
The army has no shortage of Su Yonglin, but there is still a shortage of administrative officials.
Su Yonglin currently has a small number of instructors trained, and most of them serve in Shandong, Hebei, and the military. The total number is less than two thousand. Except for rural areas, many county and state officials are former Jin Dynasty bureaucrats.
At present, the number of instructors that can be called upon is limited, and administrative capabilities are limited to the county, township, and village levels, making it difficult to rise to a higher level in a short period of time.
Although Su Yonglin has ordered the Military Instruction Department and the Fuxing Association to organize study classes to speed up the training of instructors, the cultivation and upgrading of talents takes time.
Therefore, judging from the current situation, Su Yonglin can only select a group of people with more conscience and professional ethics from the old Jin Dynasty bureaucracy and the powerful gentry group to help shoulder administrative responsibilities and maintain the administrative system.
This requires Su Yonglin not to start a war with the landlord class prematurely, and the grand strategy that is mainly guided by ethnic conflicts cannot be changed for the time being.
Of course, this is indeed the current situation. The threat of the Jin Army in Liaodong and Guanzhong is still there. There are also some threats from the Jin Army in the northwest region and unknown threats on the Mongolian prairie.
It is unrealistic to rashly start internal conflicts and disputes when the external threat is so great. Therefore, at present, we must hold high the banner of national conflicts, unite all Han, Khitan and other forces who are willing to accept Su Yonglin's rule, and crush the Jin Kingdom to death.
Before the Jin Kingdom is completely hammered to death and the northern defense line is completely rebuilt, internal disputes cannot be started rashly.
So on the night when Wanyan Guangying was deposed, Su Yonglin held two meetings.
One was an open strategic meeting, in which all officers and instructors were able to attend, and there were many people.
The location is in the main hall where the kings and ministers of the Jin Kingdom discuss matters.
Su Yonglin believes that based on the current situation, the Jin Kingdom still has the remaining strength to fight in the Liaodong and Guanzhong areas. The Jin Kingdom also has some troops in the Xijing area. There are already troops going to crusade, but even if they win, they will still have to face the threat of the prairie.
According to the intelligence obtained from the Jin people, there are currently several larger tribal forces on the grassland, each with a cavalry force of several thousand to ten thousand, posing a great threat to the border.
Therefore, after the Guangfu Army replaced the Jin Kingdom, they not only had to face the Southern Song Dynasty and Xixia, but also the threat of war on the grasslands.
No one should slack off, stop training, or have any careless thoughts.
Go all out to rectify armaments, strengthen training, improve organization, and be ready for new battles at any time.
The biggest task at the current stage is to stabilize our own rule and at the same time, hammer the Jin Kingdom to death with all our strength, completely conquer Liaodong and Guanzhong, and uproot the Jin Kingdom!
Let it live forever!
After the public strategy meeting, Su Yonglin secretly notified some personnel to attend the second meeting.
The second meeting was a secret meeting. Those who attended the meeting were all members of the organization who were currently absorbed into the Renaissance organization, and they were the stars of tomorrow who Su Yonglin had high hopes for.
More than 100 people attended the meeting, all officers and instructors in the army, ranging from senior, intermediate and grassroots, all throughout the army.
There were old subordinates that Su Yonglin knew before, and there were also newcomers that Su Yonglin didn't know before.
Their identities are different, but the same thing is that they all agree with Su Yonglin's philosophy. They believe that destroying the Jin Kingdom is not the most important, but overthrowing the existence of the upper class is the most important. After passing the interview with the Organization Department of the Renaissance Society, they were recognized.
Su Yonglin made a detailed report at the secret meeting.
"...To sum up, now is not the time to launch a comprehensive liquidation of the landlords and gentry in the areas occupied by the Liberation Army. It has only been two years since the uprising, and the number of instructors is less than 1,500. If we rashly attack, even if it is not military It can be successful, but it will also collapse administratively.
We are now a big force. We have to govern tens of millions of people and have to be cautious and maintain stability. Therefore, the top priority is to prepare for war and to restore production so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment. Production cannot be interrupted. This is crucial.
Therefore, in the next stage, we must continue to maintain the previous strategic policy, with the key to completely eliminating the Jin Kingdom and establishing a solid border defense. Only by achieving these two goals can we have the most basic foundation for liquidating them.
In addition to these two conditions, we also need a large number of literate people who can take on the government affairs at the rural level, more talents who can take on the government affairs of counties, states, governments and other places, and we also need higher-level talents who can take a global view. These all take time.
So I hope that in the coming days, you will stick to your original intention and never forget it, and then hold back, work hard, accumulate strength, and when the time comes, rise up and catch them off guard! "
Su Yonglin's speech established the operational guidelines for the Liberation Army and the Renaissance Association in the next stage, giving everyone a test and expectations.
Indeed, the current difficulties are numerous and cannot be solved by shouting a slogan. It requires long-term preparation and planning and careful actions.
A weak foundation is Su Yonglin's biggest weakness. Relying on the strength of the Liberation Army can cover up this weakness. However, if he does not seize the time to lay a solid foundation and cultivate talents, sooner or later he will be forced to follow the same old path.
Ideals need to be supported by a realistic foundation. People also need to have full stomachs, houses to live in, and beds to sleep on. Production must resume and continue.
"So, does the chairman mean that we need to admit some Jin officials or local gentry into the Liberation Army to help us manage the place?"
Zhou Chong, an old subordinate of Su Yonglin, a member of Fuxing and a training officer of a certain regiment of the Beiwei Army, raised his hand and asked Su Yonglin his question.
Su Yonglin nodded.
"This is exactly the question I want to say, because we started too short ago and have no time or energy to cultivate too many talents who can govern the local area, so we must accept the old officials of the Jin Kingdom and the local gentry at this stage .
Otherwise, we will have no one available, there will be a shortage of local officials to maintain operations, no one will be responsible for the things that the people need to deal with, and government orders will not be transmitted smoothly. The harm will be very great, far greater than if we appoint old officials and gentry. "
The practical problems raised by Su Yonglin made the Fuxing members feel a little regretful. They all lowered their heads and kept sighing.
Seeing their disappointed looks, Su Yonglin smiled.
"Governing a country is the same as overthrowing a superior person. It is not an immediate matter. There will be many twists and turns in the process. We must learn to accept it and be good at reflection and correction.
Just like before, we have actually admitted many Jin officials to join us. As long as they oppose Jin, we need them to assist us in administration. Of course, although they have to be used, we can do a little bit more in the appointment of these old bureaucrats and gentry. Order something.
All temporarily appointed officials must be reviewed, not all are appointed, and they must confess their past and crimes. Jurchen officials and officials of other ethnic groups who have committed serious crimes must be tried and executed in public. Han Khitan officials who have committed minor crimes or have not committed crimes can use their discretion. Reserved. "
Saying this, Su Yonglin also sighed.
"Although doing so is a bit deceptive, if we don't do this, the problem will only become more serious. The real key is that we must cultivate enough talents ourselves, the number must be large, the grassroots experience must be sufficient, and the inspection must be resolute.
When we can govern the place and complete administrative tasks without these old officials and powerful gentry, it will be time for us to conduct a comprehensive liquidation of them. But before that, I must remind you that you must hold yourselves.
You will have to work with them for a long time in the future, and their habits or styles will affect you to a greater or lesser extent. If you are influenced by them, degenerate, and become the boss you once hated most. I will never show mercy to others. "
Su Yonglin looked at everyone present and memorized their appearance.
"I hope that when the liquidation is launched in the future, each of you will still be a like-minded person of mine, and a comrade who stands with me in the outside world. Otherwise, I will be very heartbroken. People who have supported each other and worked together, Became an enemy.”
This sentence carries a hint of murderous intent.
It was the murderous intent that Su Yonglin revealed involuntarily, and it was also the murderous intent that he had never thought of hiding.
A traitorous traitor is far more hateful than a foreign enemy.
Su Yonglin understands this truth better than anyone else.
At the same time, he also understands another truth - he cannot be selfish and think that everyone is selfless.
There may be people who will stand with him and stick to their original aspirations forever, but in this process, some people will inevitably fall behind, some will retreat, and some will deteriorate.
Therefore, he always has a weapon in his hand, placed across his neck and against his skin, so that the cold touch can be transmitted to his brain.
And he will not be swayed by anyone's changes, even if that person is the person he trusts and relies on the most.
So everyone present nodded, indicating that they remembered.
At least at this moment, they and Su Yonglin were standing together, and nothing had changed.
But among the 108 people present, Su Yonglin was not sure how many of them would be able to stick to their beliefs until that day came.
