Chapter 139 Shengjie Army is more professional
Su Yonglin once thought that talents were the most important, and talents were especially precious.

But later he realized that talent is important, but platform is more important.

Without the right platform, talent cannot grow.

In other words, there are talents whose potential has not yet been tapped everywhere, but the platforms that can tap the potential of talents are always limited and very scarce.

It is the so-called Maxima often and Bole not very often.

Given enough resources and room for growth, they will be able to develop their original potential and become great talents, but most of them fall on the way to promotion, or simply do not have a platform for promotion.

Only by following the winner and finding the right platform can we live to the end, stand out, become the last winner, become a super famous official and a famous general.

I really don't have any historical celebrities to recruit and get their help, but relying on my own continuous ascent and training, and relying on the population base of my subordinate groups, someone will eventually stand out and become famous officials and generals.

Personal efforts require the cooperation of times and luck, and neither is indispensable.

Hasn't Su Yonglin himself gradually become firm-willed, quick-witted, and ruthless through his study and experience day after day, year after year?

These officers, who are still very young, can finally stand out and leave their names in history.

At that time, future generations will feel that they are very lucky, and one of the people brought out by them is counted as one, and they are all talented.

And the investment behind this, probably no one will care.

In the midst of war, how many of these people will persevere to the end and achieve great things?
Su Yonglin was very interested.

With the further expansion of the military establishment, the establishment of civilian officers specially responsible for ideological work has become urgent.

The ideological work of the army must be advanced simultaneously in the midst of war to ensure that the Shengjie Army will not deteriorate due to the increase in the number of troops and the harsh environment.

With this thought in mind, Su Yonglin found Tian Guizi and decided to give him a new appointment.

"It's a good thing to have an increase in the number of troops, but these recruits are from the Jin Army, and they inevitably have some bad habits, such as like drinking, like gambling, used to looting, bullying the weak, doing things rudely and not knowing how to communicate and so on.

These are the problems we need to face. In response to this situation, in the past, we let officers at all levels be responsible for teaching soldiers and telling our ideas and ideals, but now it seems that with more people, many officers do not know how to do it themselves. Well, let alone educate soldiers.

What I think is that the officer is responsible for leading the soldiers to fight, and the work of guiding the soldiers should be handed over to a special department, responsible for educating the soldiers why we should rebel against the Jin Kingdom, why we should strictly restrain the military discipline, and why we fight to the death . "

Tian Guizi heard Su Yonglin's words and realized Su Yonglin's intention.

"Alang, what do you mean, let me be in charge of this department?"

"My opponent, you are in charge of this department. Divide the military law department you were in charge of into two parts. Half of the military law department will continue to be responsible for the military law enforcement and hand over to others to manage. You will be in charge of guiding the soldiers. What do you think?"

Tian Guizi thought for a moment and nodded.

"Alang trusts me, and I am willing to take on this responsibility."

Tian Guizi understood Su Yonglin's concerns quite well, and knew better why the Shengjie Army was able to maintain the relative purity of the army in this chaotic situation, and was determined not to disturb the people or plunder.

Military law alone will not work.

If the soldiers themselves do not have that awareness, once the military law is relaxed, problems will arise in the army, and the once invincible iron army will degenerate at an extremely fast speed and become vulnerable.

Such armies abound in history.

In the early days of the business, the combat power was extremely strong, and after the victory was solid, it collapsed at an extremely fast speed and was vulnerable to a single blow.

So just relying on strict military discipline is not enough, at least not enough.

However, Su Yonglin added another firewall in addition to the military law, using such statements as the contradiction between the superior and the bulls and horses to arouse the empathy of all the soldiers.

He made the soldiers realize that they are the same as all the common people. They are tragic beings who are jointly exploited by the upper class. Their tragic experience is because of the cruel exploitation of the upper class. resistance.

All civilians are our friends, people who can help us, not our enemies.

With this kind of empathy, educated soldiers will change. They will not regard civilians whose combat effectiveness is obviously inferior to their own as natural prey just because they have weapons and arms, but will regard them as the same as themselves. people.

They will realize that they exist and fight so that the poor people in the world can have enough food and clothing, and they can no longer be cruelly exploited by the superior people, so that they can’t even eat enough to eat a piece of meat all year round. Look ahead.

With this kind of awareness, this army is different, it is not an imperial thug that exists simply for promotion and fortune.

When the army has this kind of awareness, and supplemented by strict military regulations, it can create an iron army with unprecedented cohesion and will never decline easily.

Don't throw money to boost morale before a war.

There is no need to throw money at war to keep soldiers on the move.

After the war, no soldier will hold the enemy's head and ask the commander to give him a reward, otherwise it will cause trouble.

The Shengjie Army was really out of tune with most other armies of this era.

Tian Guizi didn't know where Su Yonglin learned this method, but this did not prevent Tian Guizi from supporting Su Yonglin and his thoughts from the bottom of his heart.

Because he can really feel that the Shengjie Army is different from other armies.

That kind of vigorous vitality, that kind of passionate fighting spirit, he had never felt in any other army.

So he nodded in agreement and took over the task.

This new department was named the Guidance Department by Su Yonglin, and the person in charge was the Director of the Guidance Department. There were two Guidance Officers under it, and the officers were the instructors.

The guidance officers are specially responsible for going to the grassroots level of the army to assist the officers to give ideological guidance to the soldiers who have newly joined the Shengjie Army, take political classes, master the political atmosphere of the whole army, control the ideological trend of the whole army, and prevent the army from going astray.

Su Yonglin expressed great hope and trust to Tian Guizi.

In addition, the increase in military personnel has led to a sharp increase in the pressure on logistics supply.

In order to lighten some of the burden on the logistics department, Su Yonglin gave special approval to transfer more than [-] captured Jin Jun Han civil servants and hand them over to Lin Jingchun to lead the work, which finally eased the tension caused by the lack of manpower.

Lin Jingchun finally stopped scolding her mother.

Although everyone is working hard for the thriving Shengjie Army, they are also very motivated to work. Many people work while eating, and even dream of work, they still enjoy it.

But working too long and too stressful will indeed collapse, which is not good for the body.

Taking this into consideration, Su Yonglin decided to divide the logistics department into two, change the logistics department to the food and pay department, and add an ordnance department.

Since then, the Department of Grain and Pay has been exclusively responsible for the economic aspects of the military.

The manufacture, storage, and transportation of military weapons and equipment are all handed over to the Ordnance Division, in order to reduce Lin Jingchun's work intensity.

Lin Jingchun is also in his 40s, and he can't handle such a high-intensity job, so he has no objection to this, and recommends Shi Zheng, a highly capable subordinate, to be the head of the Ordnance Department.

As a result, in addition to the combat troops, the establishment of civilian officers gradually matured in the Shengjie Army.

The Department of Guidance, the Department of Military Justice, the Department of Food and Salary, the Department of Ordnance, and the four major civilian departments began to take full responsibility for the non-combat work of the Qisheng Czech Army, and the specialization of the Shengjie Army climbed a level again.

As the number of troops increases, the logistical pressure will also increase.

After Lin Jingchun was taken care of by Su Yonglin, his responsibilities were still heavy.

The logistics work other than military weapons and equipment is still in full charge of the Food and Salary Department. He is also the chief steward of the army, and everyone depends on him to arrange food and clothing expenses.

Therefore, the overall responsibility of the military's economic work faces a more severe test.

Not just manpower, but more money.

The manpower can be cultivated by oneself and external input, which can be done in a short period of time. Su Yonglin is not worried about this.

However, money must come from a large number of external sources, but his own internal income is really stretched.

The Shengjie Army does not engage in harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes. All taxes are coordinated through the peasant association and the farmers. Without the middlemen, the proportion of the revenue is small, but it falls into the Shengjie Army's warehouse, which is a large amount.

Su Yonglin once worried that cutting too many tax items would make the army's daily operations unsustainable, but now it seems to be completely unfounded.

Eating is no longer a problem, the survival problem of the Shengjie Army has been basically solved, and there is no need to sigh, but of course it is better if someone is willing to give it.

But if the army wants to grow and develop, it is not a problem just to eat, it must have enough military spending.

Su Yonglin immediately thought of Su Changsheng who went south to talk to Yao Hongfang for business.

I don't know how he is talking with Yao Hongfang now, and whether this deal can be negotiated.

If this deal is negotiated, Shengjiejun's financial problems can be alleviated to a great extent, and he can relax the expansion of the site and operate the base.

Otherwise, those celebrities, calligraphy, paintings, treasures, antiques, etc. left in the warehouse of Shengjie Army will only eat ashes, and will not be of any use at all.

As the saying goes, in troubled times, gold is prosperous and antiques, and the Jin Kingdom is obviously in a mess. It is a small troubled time and cannot eat these valuables.

Only the [False Prosperity Southern Song Dynasty] can eat these priceless treasures.

It must be negotiated. If it is not negotiated, the problem will be really big.

While Su Yonglin was worried about this matter, Su Changsheng was having a second contact with Yao Hongfang.
