Before the working methods of Jiefang Sect emerged, political cadres used the same principles to reform prisoners.
Through this soul-touching method of influence, they turned all peasant rebel armies, Jin armies, Xixia armies, and Song armies into Ming armies.
At the civilian level, the Ming government also used this series of transformation methods to turn Han, Jurchen, Khitan, grassland, Xi, Bohai and other ethnic groups into Ming people.
They focused on diluting the ethnic consciousness and strengthening the national consciousness of the Ming Dynasty. In this era when national identity has not yet taken root in the hearts of the people, they focused on developing national identity and breaking down cognitive barriers between ethnic groups.
But now, the method has been upgraded, the sense of ritual is stronger, and the efficiency of influence has increased exponentially.
With this move, Jiefangmen directly increased Xu Tong's troops to 10,000 men. The Revolutionary Army directly had 10,000 troops, and the formation of a division of the Ming Army was really unexpected by Xu Tong.
But if you think about it carefully, this is the fighting power of the Renaissance.
Without such a powerful fighting force, how could the Renaissance maintain a firm foothold in this world full of wolves, tigers, and leopards and ultimately achieve victory?
Xu Tong smiled, becoming more and more convinced that he believed in the truth and was on the right path. The end of this path must be the ideal heaven on earth.
"Although I am just an insignificant brick, but with more bricks, I can always build the kingdom of heaven on earth. I am very lucky that I have embarked on the right path. If I had not followed the right path, my life would have been over. It’s this road that gave me a new life.”
Xu Tong smiled at the people around him and then devoted himself to the reorganization of the army.
He formally reorganized the Revolutionary Army into a division-level organization of the Ming Army, with five brigades of 2,000 men each, and four battalions of 500 men each. This was used as a standard to equip military commanders and political workers. cadre team, with a view to allowing the new team to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.
The entire Sichuan-Sichuan branch team of the Fuxing Society worked day and night, forgetting food and sleep, and tried their best to quickly form a new revolutionary army.
While the revolutionary army tried its best to move forward, the conflict between the Chengdu court and the peasant uprising army on the Chengdu Plain became more and more intense, and the conflict between the Chengdu court and the internal centrifugal forces also became more and more intense.
Zhao Buxi scraped a large amount of money for his own use through Jiao Zire, enriching the treasury of the Chengdu court. There was enough money to reward the army and make the army work for him.
The army had no other means of making a living under the circumstances of Jiaozi's collapse, and the Chengdu imperial court could steadily provide them with enough money. They had no other choice but to follow the seemingly iron rice bowl of the Chengdu imperial court. Eat by mouth and kill people by the way.
With the incentive of money and no choice, the imperial army burst out with extremely powerful force.
The insurrectionary armies from all over the country suffered greatly when faced with the regular Song army whose military quality was significantly higher. They basically failed to win a single battle in the field and died all over the place. Finally, they summed up their experience from the failure and decided to abandon the field battle and focus on defensive battles.
Defend according to the city and defend according to the danger. Anyway, there are not many other places in Sichuan and Shu. There are many dangerous places and the size of the city is not bad.
I will defend according to the danger and I will not go out to fight. What can you do to me?
Song Jun really couldn't do anything to them.
But don't mention it. After years of growth, the soldiers of the Song Army are not just simple tools who completely obey orders.
After the Jiaozire incident, Song Jun also developed a considerable sense of distrust towards the Chengdu court. He felt that the Chengdu court could not trust it and could not do everything they said. Everyone must have their own ideas.
What do you mean by your own thoughts?
In the current economic environment, who can guarantee that the Chengdu court will always give them enough money to support their families?
We must increase the habit of saving and save a large amount of iron money to prepare for emergencies. Then, if we want the Chengdu court to keep them and give them an iron rice bowl, the best way is to go to war.
During the war, the imperial court relied on them to win the war. It did not dare to deduct military pay at will, and did not dare not to give real rewards, otherwise the imperial court would be doomed.
Once there is no more war and the world is at peace, the court will even disarmament.
Will everyone be without a job soon?
Therefore, for the military, the best way to maximize its own interests is to cultivate the self-respect of the bandits.
All the Song armies originally wanted to end the war as soon as possible, but after Jiaozi was hot, all the Song armies from the top to the grassroots generally came up with the idea of seeking their own benefits, and invariably came up with the idea of supporting the invaders and respecting themselves.
Therefore, the front line between the Song Army and the rebel army has basically been maintained at Jiading Prefecture, Zizhou, Suining Prefecture, and Langzhou since July. They have repeatedly "sawed" with the local rebel army, and there have been many "gains", but basically Never moved forward.
This is true until August.
The front is stable, with many gains and small victories, but the front is not advancing.
It was okay for a short time, but as time went on, the Chengdu court, especially Privy Councilor Wu Lin, noticed some tricks.
Don't these guys want to make the bandits proud?
Wu Lin noticed it earlier.
After all, he is a general who grew up from the bottom, and he knows the little ones in the army better than anyone else. Moreover, the generals sent abroad are basically his subordinates. He is too familiar with the way these guys behave.
After careful observation, he realized that there had been some subtle changes in the army, which were not in the interests of the imperial court. As a representative of the imperial court, Wu Lin felt that he had to do something.
So before Zhao Buxi could question him, he sent someone to strongly criticize the generals of the Fourth Route Army, asking them to put away their little Jiujiu and work honestly, otherwise he would be able to do it without the emperor's orders. Tear the self-respecting bastard out of Yang Kou!
Dare you raise the bandits to respect themselves?
Dare you have any objections?
Have you asked me?
I'm not dead yet!
As the first famous general in the Southern Song Dynasty after the deaths of Wu Jie and Yue Fei, and currently the only famous general in the entire Jiangnan region, Wu Lin's prestige is unshakable.
Especially in the military system of the Shu-Song regime that he single-handedly created, his words were more useful than anything else.
His prestige among the Song army was equivalent to Su Yonglin's prestige among the Ming army.
He gave the order, and the generals of the Fourth Route Army did not dare to neglect. They put away their inner feelings and commanded the troops to launch a fierce attack on the rebels.
No matter how depressed and helpless they were, they did not dare to disobey Wu Lin's orders.
As a result, within a few days, the Song Army's front advanced greatly.
The army of the South Road Lu? rushed into the vicinity of Jianwei County, Jiading Prefecture, and drove the Jiading Prefecture rebels directly into the wilderness. They were beaten until they were unable to fight back, suffered heavy losses, and were about to be annihilated.
On the North Road toward Langzhou, the army led by Wu Lin's old subordinate Qi Xiuwei had been parked near Xinjing County. After Wu Lin reprimanded him, Qi Xiuwei's troops rushed to the vicinity of Langzhong County and surrounded Langzhong County to wipe out the Langzhou Uprising. Military posture.
In the direction of Suining Prefecture, the army led by Wu Lin's old subordinate Xie Qingsheng finally captured Suining County and basically annihilated all the Suining Prefecture rebels. The battle line was suddenly pushed to the Hezhou area.
In the direction of Zizhou, the army led by Wu Lin's old subordinate Du Yan defeated the beggar army led by Wang Shun in Ziyang and Longshui, and suppressed the beggar army to Panshi County. Wang Shun had no choice but to abandon Panshi County and march to Fushun. Transfer to prison.
All four armies of the Song Army were victorious and were on the verge of wiping out all the rebel armies from all over the country.
But at this stall, just after the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th, Wu Lin fell ill.
On August 15th, Zhao Buyi hosted a banquet for Wu Lin and kept him until very late before sending someone to send him home to rest. For unknown reasons, Wu Lin caught a cold the next day and felt unwell.
