Chapter 23 An Zhen's Emotional Planning for the Future Official Path

After being informed by Zhao Kaishan, Su Yonglin immediately convened a military meeting of all officers, spread out the map, and told the rebel army's marching strategy for the last time.

Attack the weak first, then the strong. According to the location of Jinren Village and Zhenfang Meng'an Camp, start the attack from the nearest Jinren Village and attack their households.

Their civilian households are basically transformed into pampered landlords, and it is estimated that there is not much left in terms of combat effectiveness.

By attacking their villages to gain the army's combat experience and victorious mentality, clear everyone's fear of the Jin people, and then remove the Zhenfang Mengan as a real military facility.

This shouldn't be difficult.

With such confidence, Su Yonglin began to explain the different things to the soldiers.

He also explained these things before, and now is the last order.

"Remember, in addition to winning the battle, there is another important point. Those Jin Man prisoners can't be killed if they don't kill them. They must be left to the local farmers. The farmers must be mobilized and the knives must be handed over to them. The local farmers truly stand with us and cannot part with it, understand?"

The officers were in uniform.

"understand!"

Su Yonglin nodded.

"Do extraordinary things in extraordinary times, without the kindness of women, without any hesitation, understand?"

"understand!"

All the officers took orders and scattered out, conveying Su Yonglin's instructions to all the soldiers, from top to bottom, unifying their will.

With the officers in place, the whole army began to move.

Lin Jingchun, who was in charge of logistics, took women and children, the "logistics", to hand out steel knives, spears, shields, bows and arrows, and simple homemade armor to every soldier.

Some soldiers looked at their wives and children, smiled at them, and said nothing.

The women and children didn't speak either. They silently distributed logistical supplies to each soldier, and then left the training ground in a neat line.

Their duty is accomplished.

They know what their men and father are going to do, and what kind of dangers there will be, but they even know that if they don't do it, the future will be bleak.

Su Yonglin said that we should take them to create a future that belongs to us.

Like men, these women and children share the same beliefs and deep hopes for the future.

After all the logistical materials were in place, the officers brought the soldiers fully armed, and then lined up on the large playground to wait for the next order.

Soon, the entire army was assembled, and Su Yonglin came to the army in front of the army to review the troops, and then ordered the army nameplate to be issued.

"This small wooden card has your name, place of origin, and the number of the team you belong to. Take it with you and don't throw it away. Whether you receive a reward or be punished, you all have to rely on this small card. You have it, I There are."

Su Yonglin raised his own nameplate: "Of course, the most important thing is that when you die in battle, your comrades can rely on this card to determine your identity."

The deadly silence on the training ground continued for a while.

To die or to live, this is a question worth exploring.

But it's certainly not a pleasant topic for soldiers on the battlefield.

Even so, like Su Yonglin, they have no choice.

There is also no choice except for Zhao Kaishan and Su Yonglin, and An Zhen, the defensive envoy of Yizhou.

Privately, An Zhen and Zhao Kaishan have a good relationship.

When he was transferred to Yizhou, Zhao Kaishan took the lead in welcoming him to take office. After that, he also gave gifts and got close. The private relationship between the two was very good.

It should have been like this all the time, but the matter of including the ground has put the friendship of the two to the test.

On the one hand, there is the task of the public family, and on the other hand, there are private friendships and exchanges. An Zhen feels very painful about this kind of thing - really want to include Zhao Kaishan's land, who will give gifts in the future?
On the ground in Yizhou, the tyrannical landlords who were Han Chinese were in a dominant position, or rather the whole of the Central Plains.

The tyrannical and powerful landlords of the Han people are very powerful, and the previous imperial court did not dare to mess around, and their movements were relatively gentle, for fear of causing resistance from these landlords.

As a result, they were replaced by an emperor who rebelled against the superior, and the move to move the Jurchen household registration to the south suddenly accelerated, so that they did not have any extra wasteland to cultivate and live in the Jurchen household registration.

But the best ready-made land is in the hands of the powerful landlords, and the common peasants are easy to bully, but where can they meet the needs of the land?
No choice but to start with the landlord.

As a result, the relationship between the officials and landlords on the ground in Yizhou immediately became tense.

But, this bullying starts from the small landlords, and the persimmons pick up the soft and pinch the interests of the big landlords.

Then he reassured him a little more, saying that this policy is temporary, kill a few small shrimps, don't worry about it, and live as usual in the future.

This will stabilize the situation for the time being.

For a period of time, the situation in Shandong can still be barely maintained.

As a result, more and more people came, and the pressure on the court increased. Facing more and more Jurchen households and less and less land, An Zhen was really helpless.

For the official hat on his head, he could only sacrifice the breakable friendship between him and Zhao Kaishan.

The land began to go to the land of the middle and large landlords. The ancestral property of Zhao Kaishan and others was violated. They were very dissatisfied. They approached the government again and again to protest.

But how can it be so easy to give up if your own interests are damaged?

Giving gifts and going through the back door again, An Zhen was also very annoying.

He wanted to let these guys know how the new emperor Wanyan Liang slaughtered the clan and nobles who opposed his ascension to the throne.

He kills his relatives if he wants to kill them. Many of his uncles and heroic families were killed by him. Almost all the descendants of the generals who were feared by the Song army at the beginning were killed by Wanyanliang.

What Yue Fei couldn't do, Wanyanliang did.

In this way, he accumulated great prestige.

Because of this, no one dared not to execute the orders he gave, for fear that he would be the next ghost.

Under such high pressure, the pressure of Zhao Kaishan and others is really not worth mentioning.

If he can fool it, he can fool it, and if he can put it off, he will put it off. After a while, he has no better way.

An Zhen is a Jurchen, her full name is Pei Man Anzhen, her grandfather was also a brave and good general in the army, and his father's generation began to engage in politics and gradually became Sinicized.

This is especially true of his generation. His name is like a Han Chinese name, and the whole family has turned into a slick bureaucratic family.

The bureaucrats in the world are one family, and the bureaucrats of the Song state have also learned all the skills of the bureaucrats of the Jin state, and they have the attitude of being better than the blue.

Right now, Zhao Kaishan's invitation to guests is nothing more than those words, asking him to include other people's land first and let go of his land - in fact, these days, many landlords and tyrants have also sought this possibility from him in various ways.

In short, dead friends do not die poor.

Through various promises of empty cheques, An Zhen made a small profit, and began to give gifts to her superiors, seeking the possibility of being transferred from Yizhou to other places to continue to be an official to make money.

For An Zhen, being an official is actually a business. If this place has a bad reputation, it can't be done, so go to another place to do it. Jin Guo is so big, can't you be an official?
An Zhen happily planned her future career.

On the carriage to Zhao Kaishan's house, Si Qi, An Zhen's cronie, frowned.

"During this time, some news said that Zhao Kaishan was in contact with various big families in Yizhou, and I don't know what to discuss with them. The land must be included in Zhao Kaishan's land. If we go through this now, I'm afraid it's not very good. Bar?"

An Zhen didn't think so.

"What's wrong? When he contacts those big clans, he also seeks news, communicates with each other, wants to get the trend of the court to prepare, but how can he let him know the trend of the court so easily?"

"If Zhao Kaishan knew that his land had to be covered, would he jump over the wall in a hurry?"

Si Qi was still worried.

An Zhen shook her head.

"Based on what I know about Zhao Kaishan, this is a person who is stern and stern. Although he looks mighty and majestic on the surface, he actually has no courage. It's included, it's not possible."

"However, not many local people are unaware of the trend of the imperial court. More and more people from their own clan are coming, and I don't know what the emperor is thinking. Tossing so many people over in one breath makes us very embarrassed. , isn't it?"

Si Qi looked troubled.

"I have vaguely heard some rumors about this matter."

An Zhen lowered her throat and whispered close to Si Qi's ear: "It is said, it is only said that... the emperor has the idea of ​​​​nan expedition."

"Nanzheng?"

Si Qi looked terrified: "We haven't fought with the Song Kingdom for more than ten years, so why do we suddenly have to fight again? Fighting is not a trivial matter! Is it worth it? Rumors?"

"Who said it wasn't? But with an emperor like this today, what do you think he can't do?"

An Zhen pouted: "Beijing said that it would be accommodating, in order to prevent Xungui from homesickness, he also demolished Shangjing to clean up, it is useless for anyone to object, it would be really strange if he could listen to persuasion, so I found someone. Help me operate, get me out of here.

Once the war starts, Shandong will definitely be the front line. Let alone the clansmen who have moved here, even if we ourselves can’t be pulled into the front line, I won’t do this kind of thing. With the war, who can guarantee ourselves Will you be able to come back alive? "

Siqi thought about what Wanyan Liang had done all these years as emperor.

Well, there's really nothing he can't do.

Thinking of this, he really panicked.

"In this way, he is so eager to migrate his own people to Shandong, that is..."

"It's convenient to recruit troops on the spot, so as not to travel all the way to the south, the army has not yet reached the front line, and everyone is almost gone, so how can we fight? Do you think it's still decades ago? Food is eaten. Wine and beauties play, who wants to fight?"

An Zhen sighed and shook his head: "It's not advisable to stay here for a long time. Once the war starts, the situation where the two countries have been peaceful for more than ten years will be gone forever. We'll be fine if we win, if we lose..."

"Will you lose?"

"Don't you look at what those Mengan Mouke households are like now. Do you remember the martial arts performance the year before? Eight out of ten people can't draw a bow, five can't ride a horse, and the gang from the town defense army. Besides gambling and drinking, what else is there to do? In this Huahua world in the Central Plains, everyone is happy, who still practices martial arts?"

An Zhen sighed dejectedly: "Anyway, I don't want to get involved in this kind of thing. It doesn't benefit me whether I win or lose. I must leave before that."

"Then I..."

"Don't worry, I'll take you with me."

"Thank you."

The more Si Qi thought about it, the more frightened she became. She couldn't help but patted her chest, "Ouch", lamenting her fate.

While the two were talking, the carriage was getting closer and closer to Zhao Kaishan's Zhuangzi.
