After Su Changsheng's activities in the Southern Song Dynasty reached this stage, Su Yonglin was pleasantly surprised to find that although Su Changsheng did not provide him with any valuable military intelligence - because there were no valuable military operations in the Southern Song Dynasty.
But Su Changsheng provided him with another kind of joy.
The Southern Song Dynasty Renaissance branch was established in advance.
Before he killed the Jin Kingdom to dominate the Central Plains and launched his plan to destroy the Song Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty established the first branch of the Renaissance Society and also had local members.
This shows that his plan is feasible.
It is feasible to penetrate into the Southern Song Dynasty from the outside, establish a Renaissance branch in the Southern Song Dynasty and gradually develop and strengthen it.
Although we can only live in the dark at present and cannot act openly, it is at least feasible.
The road of relying on intelligence organizations to cover up the development of the Renaissance organization was taken by Su Changsheng.
Moreover, the Southern Song government currently knows nothing about the organization and purpose of the Renaissance Society.
Su Changsheng, the instigator, is still the number one figure in Jiaxing City. He has frequent contacts with official figures. He does not look like a revolutionary at all, but more like a traditional businessman who has no profit and cannot afford to be early. He flirts with the bureaucrats and is affectionate. Sweet feeling.
This was enough to buy time for the revival organization to spread in the Southern Song Dynasty.
And when the Southern Song Dynasty government discovered that the Renaissance Society was a violent rebel organization, could they cope with the successive armed riots and the military pressure from the external Liberation Army?
But then again, Su Yonglin's original idea was not to develop and expand the organization in Jiaxing Prefecture, but simply to establish an intelligence organization to monitor the actions of the Southern Song Dynasty. As for the establishment of the Fuxing Society organization, he planned to conduct it in the central and western mountainous areas of the Southern Song Dynasty. of.
The Jiaxing Prefecture area was an important economic center in the Southern Song Dynasty and one of the main sources of tax revenue for the Southern Song Dynasty government. Although class oppression was severe, the Southern Song government had stronger local dominance and more collaborations with wealthy families.
Under such circumstances, it would be extremely difficult for a newly revolted army to develop and grow.
In contrast, it is a feasible plan to develop organizations in the central and western mountainous areas where the Southern Song Dynasty government did not have strong dominance, and rely on difficult terrain to fight against the Southern Song government troops and the private armed forces of wealthy families.
Su Yonglin planned to find time to talk to Su Changsheng alone about this issue.
With this idea in mind, on February 19, the 31st year of Shaoxing, Su Yonglin met his long-awaited old subordinate Su Changsheng and his grandfather's old friend Yao Hongfang, who had almost no memory of him.
Su Changsheng is much richer than he was more than two years ago.
Perhaps due to the needs of the business, he has obviously gained weight, especially his belly, which has grown more than a circle. The original capable appearance has gradually become a little greasy, so that Su Yonglin couldn't believe it at first glance. This is Su Changsheng who has been following him for a long time.
"Changsheng, this water town in the south of the Yangtze River really nourishes people. Your body...has gained more than twenty kilograms, right?"
"this……"
Su Changsheng smiled slightly awkwardly and said: "After all, we are doing business to maintain connections. Those people like to party and drink. I have no choice but to party and drink with them. If I drink too much, I can find out something from their mouths. There is no information that I can usually find out, so my stomach is... bulging."
Su Yonglin laughed and reached out to touch Su Changsheng's belly.
"If getting fat can be considered an injury, Changsheng will be seriously injured for our career, hahahahaha!"
Su Yonglin laughed for a while before turning his attention to Yao Hongfang, who was following Su Changsheng.
This face does not seem to have much impact at first glance. It takes a closer look to see a little bit of the old appearance.
"Uncle Yao, we meet again after a long separation. How are you doing lately?"
"Okay, okay, it's okay. I have to take care of it, the general. It couldn't be better. I can sleep peacefully and live a solid life."
When Yao Hongfang faced Su Yonglin, whose status was completely different from that of the past, his attitude was very humble and he did not have the slightest intention of overstepping his bounds.
Su Yonglin walked forward and held Yao Hongfang's hand with a smile.
"Back then, the Liberation Army had just revolted and was short of military supplies. If my uncle hadn't helped and subsidized military supplies for the Liberation Army, how could the Liberation Army be where it is today? How could I, Su Yonglin, be where I am today? So, uncle, this thank you, It’s sincere.”
Seeing Su Yonglin's sincere expression, Yao Hongfang didn't know how much he believed it, but his response was enough.
"This... can help the general, that's good, that's good."
Yao Hongfang shed a few tears as he spoke, looking excited.
This is a little too much, right?
Everyone is a private salt dealer. Is it possible that I have never seen someone perform this kind of skill?
However, Su Yonglin really misunderstood Yao Hongfang on this point. Yao Hongfang was really excited, not fake.
If nothing else, just win the bet for him.
Yes, Yao Hongfang won the bet. In this gamble of fate, he won the bet!
As a domestic private salt dealer, he knew exactly what kind of situation he was in, and he knew exactly what this situation would bring to him and his family.
But he does not have the ability or the courage to openly resist the backers behind him. If he makes even the slightest move, he will definitely be crushed into scum by the big shots behind him - don't look at how soft they are towards the Jin people and towards their own people. That's a horror.
Therefore, Yao Hongfang and a large number of private salt dealers who knew the inside story of Su Yonglin's incident were very impressed by Su Yonglin's courage and luck. He was actually able to kill the backer behind him and walked away. His whereabouts are still unknown.
But because of Su Yonglin's incident, Lin'an or the local protectors were obviously not at ease with these private salt dealers. They would come and crack down on him whenever something happened. The wanted order for Su Yonglin in Qingyuan Prefecture had never been withdrawn.
Over the years, I have heard one after another that several veterans who have been in the industry for many years were suspected of being loyal due to some trivial matters, and were thus treated cruelly. They were killed to scare the monkeys. As he became more and more frightened, Yao Hongfang became more and more determined in his decision to invest in Su Yonglin.
Su Yonglin is his only hope that can lead his family out of this pit of fire and towards a new life.
Moreover, Su Yonglin's development is so outstanding. In a short period of time, he has laid a huge foundation in the north of Hebei and Shandong, showing his heroic talents.
So when Su Changsheng was developing his power, Yao Hongfang did not hesitate to support him and did his best to provide help and protection to Su Changsheng.
Seeing Su Changsheng develop his power more and more, he really admired Su Changsheng.
Although Yao Hongfang was frightened out of his wits when it came to the internal strife in the Liberation Army and Wan Yanliang's move south, when he learned that Su Yonglin had successfully overcome these two obstacles, he couldn't help but secretly shed tears.
Su Yonglin succeeded and could gain a foothold in the north. As one of his earliest investors, he would also have a safe and guaranteed future.
I can finally jump out of this fire pit!
Afterwards, he heard that Su Yonglin had conquered Zhongdu and eliminated the Jin Kingdom. He also heard that the Liberation Army and the Southern Song Dynasty had signed a bilateral peace agreement. The Southern Song Dynasty had officially recognized the Liberation Army's occupation and control of the Central Plains and planned to live in friendship with them.
The actual controller of the Liberation Army, Su Yonglin, will also become the overlord of the Central Plains, and may even ascend to the throne in the future.
Yao Hong couldn't help but praise his precise vision when he dreamed about it at midnight.
What kind of investment can invest in a private salt dealer who is about to become an emperor?
I'm so good!
Su Yonglin didn't know Yao Hongfang's inner excitement and joy. He just chose a room, prepared a banquet, and took Su Changsheng and Yao Hongfang to eat, drink, and talk about the past, present, and future.
In front of Su Changsheng and Yao Hongfang, Su Yonglin expressed his appreciation for their current achievements, and then asked them to continue their efforts and develop more intelligence personnel, not only to operate in Jiaxing Prefecture, but also to expand to other important state capitals. power.
Make friends with more officials of the Southern Song Dynasty and learn more about the trends of the Song Dynasty. Of course, it does not necessarily require military intelligence. Political intelligence is also possible. What political disputes are there within the Song Dynasty? What politicians come on or fall? This is very important to the Liberation Army. It's all meaningful.
Su Yonglin was arranging work, and both Su Changsheng and Yao Hongfang listened attentively.
But when Su Yonglin talked about Song Ting's political intelligence, both Su Changsheng and Yao Hongfang remembered one thing.
"Alang, Zhang Jun resigned."
