Qiming 1158

Chapter 122 Zhao Kaishan's face is full of pride

The number of troops is large, so of course, Zhu Hu Siji is happy.

But Yelu Chenghui was not happy.

Yelu Chenghui, who was in charge of logistics, originally hoped that Shuhu Siji would not bring so many people out, otherwise there would be some gaps in the military supplies prepared for 2 people, and it would be difficult to replenish them.

Moreover, there is no river like Wenshui that can help them in the direction of Yizhou, so they basically rely on land transportation, which greatly reduces the efficiency and increases the cost.

The pressure was too great for Shanxi Road, which had just been in chaos, and many officials were complaining to him, so he hoped that Shu Husiji could understand him.

"The disaster has just happened, and the administration of various places has not yet fully recovered. Now it is necessary to provide tens of thousands of troops with logistical supplies. It is too difficult. I hope the military envoys will give more consideration to our difficulties and do not impose them."

Yelu Chenghui said this very humbly and his attitude was low.

However, Zhu Hu Siji did not intend to understand their difficulties, but was furious, pointing at Yelu Chenghui's nose and scolding him fiercely.

"How can you make a decision based on how much you spend in matters of the country? In matters of the country, you should do whatever it takes! You don't understand this truth, so how can you take on important responsibilities?
Your difficulties are great, but mine are not so great?There are riots in Shandong, beacon fires are everywhere, thieves are everywhere, and they are killing people all the time!Is it more important to people, or is your food and goods more important? "

He said these words with a blushing face and a heartbeat, as if the person who ignored military affairs, embezzled military spending and military supplies for personal enjoyment was not him at all.

To be precise, this guy, Shu Hu Siji, is well-known in the whole Shandong region for his greed, and officials big and small are quite aware of his greed.

How much of the military budget allocated by the imperial court to Shandong every year is actually used for the army, and what level the army in Shandong is? Everyone has a steel balance in their hearts.

The reason why the current situation in Shandong is so rotten to this point is that it is pure fairy tale to say that there is no responsibility for Zhu Hu Siji.

However, this did not prevent the newly-appointed bureaucrat Shu Hu Siji from being extremely skillful.

Yelu Chenghui had no choice but to bite the bullet and work overtime to ensure the logistics of Hu Siji, and at the same time, he had to pay some attention to the logistics of Jiagu Asu.

But compared to Shuhu Siji's generous strokes, Jiagu Azuna really saves a lot of time.

So Yelu Chenghui handed over the affairs of Jiagu Asu to his deputy, and devoted himself to preparing logistics for Shuhu Siji, so as not to be intimidated and embarrassed by him.

While doing business, Yelu Chenghui was also dissatisfied and resentful of the boss in his heart. He deeply hated that he was inferior to others and could not fight back. He could only passively suffer such oppression and humiliation.

Shu Hu Siji didn't plan to lead the troops out himself, but because the troops from other places came, in order to facilitate unified command and not cause trouble, he temporarily decided to lead the troops to go out in person as the commander-in-chief.

In this way, there will be no conflict of command.

On Shanxi Road and Damingfu Road, it is normal for there to be conflicts between the formed troops in different regions. Meng'an and Moke, who are subordinate to the main soldiers, are different, and they have some incomprehensible conflicts that are easy to understand.

Therefore, it is necessary to have a person who can speak and count and everyone listens to the unified command.

You can only do it yourself.

Before leaving for the expedition, Shu Hu Siji ordered Tu Shanjing to reorganize more troops as soon as possible to gather in Dongping Prefecture, and then head towards Jinan Prefecture to facilitate the actual three-way march and defeat the Restoration Army as soon as possible. Restore Shandong to its original state.

Shuhu Siji led the main force of [-] to advance towards Yanzhou, and was about to pass through Yanzhou to attack Yizhou, and start killing in the old lair of the Restoration Army. He was ambitious and high-spirited.

Of the 2 troops, 1 are Han signing troops, but there are also 4000 Jurchen soldiers, and [-] of them are cavalry, and the remaining [-] are infantry.

In other words, due to the lack of time, it was impossible to collect more horses for military supplies, but each of the [-] cavalrymen was one person and two horses, which was much better than the one person and one horse at Jiagu Asu.

With an army of this size, Shu Hu Si Ji did not believe that he could not pacify the rebels in Shandong.

Similar to him, Zhao Kaishan now feels that he cannot fail.

After driving Su Yonglin and Sun Ziyi to the north through his "superior" political skills, Zhao Kaishan relieved his guilt by providing Su Yonglin with a large amount of military supplies, and then he began to expand the army on a large scale with peace of mind.

He announced the official reorganization of the Liberation Army, which had a slightly chaotic organization. He didn't care about Su Yonglin and Sun Ziyi, and he sorted out his own side a little.

He also knew that the armed forces of the landowners and squires who took refuge in him were not very reliable, so he mainly expanded the army of his own direct line that first had the military name of the Yue family.

For example, the Beiwei army led by his son Zhao Yucheng was expanded to 1 people, and it was equipped with more than 2000 horses.

He carefully selected tall and strong soldiers to join the Beiwei Army, tried his best to strengthen the equipment and strength of the Beiwei Army, and tried to build the Beiwei Army into a benchmarking and the strongest army of the Restoration Army.

He didn't treat the rest of the army badly either. They were all his direct lineages, and they had to be strengthened if they could. Of course, he didn't care so much about the quality of the army, mainly the number of people.

During this period of time, there were many people who were forced to join the army and those who volunteered to join the army. Zhao Kaishan's direct line troops swelled very quickly.

Because of Su Yonglin's suggestion of not tattooing soldiers' faces and bodies, the Guangfu Army did not have the tattooing system of the Song Army, and soldiers were not tattooed on their faces, so in the chaos, there were people who volunteered to join the army.

Of course, all the Han Jin soldiers who surrendered after the siege of the city must have all been included in the team, and then some areas are also doing the work of drawing strong men.

But I have to say that because of Su Yonglin's early publicity investment, the overall image of the Restoration Army is still very positive in the eyes of locals in Shandong.

After a while of flying around, during the bloody battle between Su Yonglin and Jiagu Asuo, Zhao Xiang's selection army expanded to 5000 people, Zhao Kaihe's stepping army expanded to 1 people, and Chen Qiaoshan's enemy-breaking army expanded to 7000. The number expanded to 6000, and Li Xiao's You Yi Army expanded to [-].

The number of Zhao Kaishan's direct troops has expanded rapidly, and has grown to 7, and is rushing towards the number of [-].

This was only his direct line. The armed landlords and squires who were attached to him were also actively expanding their armies and preparing for the war. One or two continued to increase their troops, raising the number of the Restoration Army in the area controlled by Zhao Kaishan to more than [-] in one fell swoop.

Regardless of whether it was a rabble or not, at least the number was sufficient. It seemed that the Liberation Army was huge and mighty, and had the momentum to conquer the world. Therefore, many landowners and gentry actively joined the Liberation Army lineup and provided food and wages for the Liberation Army in exchange for political convenience.

After the previous secession crisis, the army of the Restoration Army, which had been quiet for a while, rose again, and there was a feeling of prosperity and prosperity.

So many of Zhao Kaishan's cronies say that Zhao Kaishan himself is the most powerful, so what if Sun Ziyi and Su Yonglin are gone?

Isn't the Restoration Army still that powerful?
It can be judged that the strength of the Restoration Army has nothing to do with Su Yonglin and Sun Ziyi, but Zhao Kaishan himself.

This made Zhao Kaishan gradually excited, and his mood became very good. He left the previous things to the sky, accepted this thriving situation with peace of mind, and was ready to take the initiative to attack again, occupying important areas of the East and West Roads in one fell swoop.

In this way, he is the well-deserved leader of the Restoration Army and the only leader of the uprising.

This momentum was maintained until Su Yonglin's warning came.

Su Yonglin sent two warnings, one when he learned that the Jin Army was about to attack Tai'an Prefecture, and one after he finished fighting Jiagu Asu.

The warning before the war was regarded by Zhao Kaishan as a letter for help, and Zhao Kaishan was a little happy when he got the warning.

He felt that if he could send troops to help, the previous embarrassment would no longer exist, and Su Yonglin could still be convinced.

Good thing.

At this time, when the army was reorganizing and training, some of his cronies were concentrated in Linyi City, so he summoned his cronies and showed Su Yonglin's warning letter.

"Yuting is not that kind of hypocritical person. I'm not mistaken about him. He still knows the importance. Although he is embarrassed to say it clearly, the meaning has already arrived. He feels that he cannot fight against the army of golden thieves, so I hope I can support him."

Zhao Kaishan's face was full of pride, as if he had accomplished a big thing.
