Qiming 1158

Chapter 202 The Hebei Raiders have already succeeded halfway

It can be said that the uprising of the Restoration Army had a stimulating effect on the entire Central Plains.

Because the distance is close, the news is also obtained quickly, so the success of Shandong has greatly stimulated the local people in Hebei, so that they also have the idea of ​​"owning their own destiny".

If it were the Han Dynasty, it would be fine. Living under the rule of the Northern Song Dynasty, the life of the landlords and squires should not be too moist, and no other ethnic groups came to fight for land.

But the Kingdom of Jin was different. The Jurchens went south to fight for land with them on a large scale, touching their core interests and making them very dissatisfied.

Su Yonglin still followed the same old ways, appointing the most prestigious and contributing person to an official position and grasping the local power, all he needed was military obedience and economic support.

All the armed groups of local landlords who were uprising and fighting were included by Su Yonglin into the groups within the Restoration Army, under his own command, and acted together with the Shengjie Army.

He could have nothing but their obedience and support.

Of course, the ration and weapons and equipment needed by the [-]-strong army of the Shengjie Army were also mainly provided by Hebei, so as to avoid too much logistical consumption.

In this regard, the local people who have become officials are often very cooperative. They organize many subordinates to transport food to the Shengjie Army and ensure their logistics.

There are still many people who choose to follow Su Yonglin to fight and fight by his side to win his appreciation.

They all believed that the Restoration Army, with such a fierce momentum, would definitely be able to occupy Hebei, overthrow the Jinting, and establish a new dynasty, just like in Shandong.

The leader of the Restoration Army, Zhao Kaishan, who calls himself Kaishan Zhao, will become the new emperor.

And they are the ministers from the dragon.

If you don't follow the veterans like Su Yonglin to fight the world now, hold your thighs tightly, when will you wait?
For these people, Su Yonglin accepted them all, and put them under his command, and marched north together with the Shengjie Army.

Then there is, of course, the hate propaganda against the Jurchens.

This is an old-fashioned way of the Restoration Army in Shandong, arousing hatred of the Jurchen in all the crowd. Based on the slogan of expelling the Hulu and restoring China, it called on all those who hated the Jurchen to launch a major counterattack against the Jurchen.

So wherever the Shengjie Army went, a wave of resistance was launched, and a large number of Han people, even the Khitans and Xi people who lived together with the Han people, were mobilized.

Whether it is sincere or sincere, or fish in troubled waters, after learning that only the Jurchen is the target, people from these ethnic groups also follow the Restoration Army to launch an attack on the Jurchen.

As the tentacles of the Jin Empire's ruling grassroots, the Jurchen Village and Zhenfang Meng'an Camp suffered almost devastating blows.

Due to long-term neglect of training, even if they possessed weapons and war horses, it was difficult to launch an effective counterattack. In a short period of time, they were drowned in the frenzy of crowd tactics.

Then all the weapons and equipment they had were also cheaper for the Restoration Army.

The various capitals of Hebei West Road fought every day, and finally even developed to the point where the Jurchen dragged his family and fled north to the north.

The Jurchens in Cizhou, Xiangzhou, Weizhou and other places further south fled westward desperately, fighting for their lives.

In short, as soon as they heard that the Restoration Army was coming, the local Jurchen panicked, dragging their families and fleeing desperately, while the other local crowds were so excited that they sharpened their knives and launched an attack on the Jurchen villages that they usually dare not touch.

The situation in the entire Hebei West Road was tilted towards the Restoration Army at a very fast speed, and Ginting's ruling power was almost uprooted in various state capitals.

Even the landowners and squires who did not support the Restoration Army were forced to remain silent, and they did not dare to oppose the Restoration Army at this time.

Su Yonglin's publicity efforts in these places have played a huge role.

He dispatched a group of political cadres from the army and placed them in various local counties and towns. He trumpeted the Liberation Army's anti-gold policy, and preached that as long as the Jurchen village and Zhenfang Mengan camp were broken, everything would belong to the victors. The Restoration Army will not take a penny.

As long as the Restoration Army wins, all the benefits will be given to everyone!
The Restoration Army is here, don't want everyone's food and money!
As long as everyone follows the Restoration Army to fight against Jin and attack Jinbing and Jurchen villages together, then everything belongs to everyone.

Su Yonglin waved his hand—

Go to the village, the military camp, and take back what originally belonged to you!
Take all your belongings, women, and land back!
This is where the magic of language and the power of public opinion lie.

Su Yonglin personally wrote easy-to-understand and highly provocative copywriting and handed it over to the political cadres to memorize, and then used speeches to preach to landlords, squires and armed groups in various places, arousing their fighting spirit.

The political cadres of the Shengjie Army blossomed everywhere, so the whole situation got out of hand.

Even some local armed groups who were originally watching the situation saw that other armed groups were eating and drinking, and they couldn't hold their neutral position. They couldn't help the greedy desire in their hearts. .

More and more people were bundled up by Su Yonglin with the slogan of "Expel Hulu and restore the Central Plains" and boarded the pirate ship of the Restoration Army.

It doesn't matter what their inner political stance is, whether they support the overthrow of Ginting, but greed is common, so people who get on the pirate ship will not be able to get off for a while.

The huge gains even made them forget that the main force of the Jin Kingdom was still in the north and did not go south.

In late October, as November approached, the Shengjie Army under the command of Su Yonglin and the local armed coalition of more than [-] people almost penetrated the road from Jizhou to Zhendingfu. occupy.

The coalition forces experienced more than ten battles, large and small, annihilating more than 2 Jin troops who dared to resist, and captured more than [-] Jurchen soldiers and Han signing troops.

The number of villages and towns that have been wiped out along the way is innumerable, and there is no need for statistics.

According to Su Yonglin's information, Sun Ziyi's attack on Hebei East Road was also quite smooth. He was advancing at a rapid pace, and there was no Jin army that could stop them. The landlord armed groups on Hebei East Road also supported the Restoration Army very much.

So far, the Hebei Raiders of the Restoration Army has been half successful.

Su Yonglin led the coalition army and marched all the way to Luancheng County in Zhending Mansion. Here, he joined the local people to conquer the county seat, behead the county magistrate, and use this place as a forward base for advancing Zhending Mansion, and sent people to investigate in the direction of Zhending Mansion.

At the beginning of November, the weather was getting colder. Su Yonglin paid attention to the direction of Zhendingfu while spending money to buy winter clothes for the troops.

He soon learned that Zhending Mansion had assembled more than [-] troops, and assumed a posture of defending Zhending Mansion. It seemed that he did not intend to abandon the city and flee.

The Jurchens in the entire Zhending Mansion were almost all concentrated in Zhending County because of fear. More than [-] people rushed in at one go, so that Zhending City was overcrowded.

Even so, there are still Jurchen households surviving from other places rushing to Zhendingfu to seek asylum.

Taking into account the following factors of defending the city and resource reserves in the city, the governor of Zhending ordered the expulsion of non-Jurchen people such as Han, Khitan, and Xi people, forcing them to leave their industries and leave Zhending County, so as to make room for more settlements. The Jurchen.

Of course, the people who left did not include the non-Jurchen people who were officials, officials, and soldiers. Those Han and Khitan people who were officials still had to stay, and they couldn't do things too much.

This decision aroused strong dissatisfaction among a large number of Han and Khitan people in the city.

They protested one after another, and went to the government to ask the governor of Zhending for an explanation. As a result, they were killed by the golden soldiers in the city.

The governor of Zhending had no patience under the enormous pressure. Facing these noisy guys, he directly ordered the killing and answered their doubts with a knife.

After a brutal slaughter, in which hundreds were killed and thousands wounded, the Jinbing then went from house to house to drive out the people who were not Jurchen or official figures, and drove them out of the county seat.

Of course, when people are gone, property is not so easy to take away.

Many Jinbing see this as a way to make a fortune, extorting money or simply robbing people who are about to be driven out.

For example, tricking them into using money to buy the qualifications they left behind, and then driving them away after paying the money, draining the last oil and water on their bodies.

Or simply draw a knife and kill, looting their property and wives and daughters.

Not to mention ordinary civilians, even some wealthy businessmen lost their property and fell into extreme poverty overnight, with nothing but a life left.
