Chapter 1098 Say Goodbye to Your Past Self
After many discussions, Su Yonglin has a comprehensive guiding opinion on political work, and sent this opinion to the relevant departments for review and implementation.

After the political work is over, there is also the military work.

The Battle of Xiangfan ended successfully, and the main force of the Peasant Army and the Henan Corps were well preserved and fully capable of launching the next round of attacks.

The next round of offense is of course also a must.

This war is not enough to just conquer the second city of Xiangfan. This war requires not only the capture of the second city of Xiangfan, but also the further capture of the central capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, physically severing the Southern Song Dynasty.

Su Yonglin immediately ordered the Privy Council to issue a total of 4 cavalry from the White Army of the Yanyun Corps and the Imperial Guards of the Huben Army to the south for support.

After the first stage of the battle was successful, Su Yonglin asked Zhang Yuejing to use his existing troops to attack the Southwest Road of Jingjing, Jinghu Lake and Jingnan Road in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Su Yonglin asked Zhang Yuejing to complete the comprehensive attack and occupation of the central theater of the Southern Song Dynasty, and occupied all the Jingxi South Road, Jinghu Lake Road, Jingnan Road and Jiangnan West Road, and cut off the entire territory of the Southern Song Dynasty.

At the same time, Su Yonglin began to plan the reorganization of the peasant army led by Zhao Yucheng into the Jiangxi Corps.

Zhao Yucheng led more than 100 cadres to the south, pulled up an army of 8 people from scratch, and occupied an entire area in the hinterland of the Southern Song Dynasty as a base. The rebuilt army was crippled.

In this battle, the peasant army as the main force first defeated the two main armies in the Jinghu theater, annihilating 12 enemies, and then the Henan Corps of the Ming Army as the main force, annihilating 18 enemy troops, and annihilating as many as [-] Song armies.

In the whole battle, the performance of the peasant army was remarkable and worthy of praise, which was praised by Su Yonglin.

However, the number of the entire military force in the Southern Song Dynasty has not even returned to the level of 40 after the reconstruction, and it is about 37. This wave took almost half of it.

Several years of reconstruction efforts and tens of thousands of dollars invested have all gone to waste. After this war, the demise of the Southern Song Dynasty was not only a consensus within the Ming Dynasty, but also a consensus within the Southern Song Dynasty.

As long as the Yellow River project is completed, Su Yonglin will be able to go south in an all-round way, command the army to destroy the Song Dynasty, and reopen the era of great unification.

The troubled times of more than 200 years since the separatism of the feudal lords at the end of the Tang Dynasty will come to an end in Su Yonglin's Hongwu period.

But right now, I still have to finish the road step by step, not in a hurry, not jumping, not running, so as not to twist my feet.

Moreover, although the Jinghu Theater was destroyed and the Jianghuai Theater was crippled, the Chuanshu Theater still had combat effectiveness.

Although the Southern Song Dynasty Chuanshu Theater also lost [-] troops.

On this point, Xin Qiji has a relatively complete report.

"According to the information obtained so far, there is an army in the Chuanshu area of ​​the Southern Song Dynasty that is moving in the direction of Fengjie. The number is about [-]. It is the most elite Chuanshu army in the Southern Song Dynasty. Depending on its posture and direction, it is going to Xiangfan for support.

And once they leave Sichuan, they will directly face the first and third divisions of the peasant army under Zhao Yucheng. Judging from the current situation, the combat effectiveness of the peasant army is not enough to face the Southern Song Chuan Shu army head-on, so they should make them later. Withdraw, and hand over the battle to the Henan Corps. "

Su Yonglin nodded.

"This matter will be handed over to the General Staff Headquarters for coordination. The military command is solely responsible for the tasks of the General Staff Headquarters. This is your mission and scope of responsibility. If necessary, you can go south at any time and coordinate the overall situation."

"clear."

Xin Qiji and Ma Weiying nodded.

That's how things went on in the military.

Therefore, not only Hedong Province mobilized a large amount of materials to support Henan Province, but now Guanzhong Province is also required to provide stored materials to support the operations in Henan Province. Su Yonglin dispatched the privy envoy Sun Ziyi and Minister of the Ministry of Finance Lin Jingchun to go out on business together to fully coordinate Hedong Province. Provincial and Guanzhong Province support for this military operation.

The scope of the war was required to be expanded, but for the front-line Ming army, the intensity of the war was normally reduced.

The occurrence of such a situation can be said to have no doubts at all.

Because the mobile strategic counterattack force of the Southern Song Dynasty has been completely lost, the next thing left to the Ming army is the Fish Pond Bureau, which is driven by thousands of soldiers.

All the main combat troops in the Jinghu Theater of the Southern Song Dynasty were wiped out, and no army could be found to resist the attack of the Ming army.

The captured Song soldiers were asked by the Ming army to do hard work to repair and restore the places damaged in the war. Before the specific order arrived, Zhang Yuejing consciously controlled the scope of the siege, mainly to consolidate the victory and restore the place.

He temporarily devoted himself to the rest of the army and the restoration of people's livelihood.

During this period, Zhao Yucheng went to Xiangyang City to meet Zhang Yuejing. The old acquaintance met, and he was very excited and talked a lot.

Zhang Yuejing and Zhao Yucheng didn't have much friendship in the early days. To be honest, the friendship was when Zhao Yucheng began to restore the theoretical knowledge of the society. At that time, Zhao Yucheng and Zhang Yuejing attended a cram school together and had a friendship for a while.

Later, Zhang Yuejing was on his own, and then Zhao Yucheng was ordered to go south from Henan to enter the Southern Song Dynasty to open up a base area.

"Speaking of which, I really didn't expect that you boy could really pull up the team, and even pulled up a team of 8 people in one breath, and survived the siege many times. This time is completely different from that stunned young man back then. Same."

Zhang Yuejing made fun of Zhao Yucheng back then.

Zhao Yucheng smiled bitterly.

"When I was young and energetic, I dared to do everything and wanted to do everything. After hearing a little bit of fur, I felt that I understood everything, could do everything, and could do everything. In fact, how could it be like this?"

"Do you understand now?"

"I have walked all the way the chairman has traveled, and walking around is also saying goodbye to my past self, and I have also learned a lot of truth and seen a lot of things, and now I know how difficult it is to achieve a great cause. Easy."

"That's natural. We know exactly how difficult it is to go along the way, but we have to say, how can we succeed if there is no chairman? At first, we completely relied on the chairman, and we did what he said. What, we have almost no way to go on independently.

Everything the chairman did was right. He hardly made any mistakes. He said everything right, and everything went according to his expectations. This is the reason why many people regard him as a god. To be honest, I once thought that the chairman was a man from heaven. "

Zhang Yuejing smiled: "It's absurd to think about it now, but at the time, I really thought so, so don't say it."

Zhao Yucheng also laughed.

"Everyone is not from heaven, who dares to say that the gold will be destroyed in three years? In fact, I feel that if the chairman decides to destroy the Song Dynasty, he will not do it for a year, and he has waited until now. It is nothing more than to renovate the Yellow River and think about ending the Yellow River project. …”

"The progress of the Yellow River project is still good. Before the war, I went to Tian Guizi. He said that the progress was smooth. At the latest in the eighth year of Hongwu, the siege will be ended. By then, it will be the end of the Southern Song Dynasty."

"Eighth year of Hongwu..."

Zhao Yucheng said with emotion: "Although it's a bit regrettable, it's fine. At least, we can make the base stronger. By the way, how about handing over to me the responsibility for dealing with the Chuanshu army in the Southern Song Dynasty?"
