Chapter 248 Problems that can be solved with money are not problems

Zhao Kaishan's needs are indeed quite realistic.

We can't sit back and watch Su Yonglin continue to expand his strength without taking any action on his side.

But the needs of the soldiers are also quite realistic.

Tired from the long-term battle, they desperately need a long vacation to rest and reunite with their families. After a new year, they will spend the wealth accumulated from the war.

How much to vent the dissatisfaction accumulated in your heart, so that you can continue to fight.

When reality collided with reality, Zhao Zuoliang didn't know what to do.

"This……"

Zhao Zuoliang frowned and hesitated for a while.

He wanted to tell Zhao Kaishan that even if you conquered the Daming Mansion, it might not change anything, because Su Yonglin defeated the elite field troops of the Jin Kingdom with real swords and spears, and defeated the elite cavalry of the Jin Army, which was widely feared by the world.

This symbolic meaning far outweighs the actual results.

This is equivalent to telling everyone that there is already a Han army that can defeat the heavy cavalry force that the Jin Guo people depend on for a living. Whether the Jin Guo can continue to exist is already a huge problem.

This kind of huge influence is far from being able to be covered by a famous city. Unless Zhao Kaishan suddenly explodes, he can also defeat an iron cavalry force of the Golden Army face to face.

Of course, this is almost impossible.

But Zhao Kaishan couldn't think more.

"Uncle, I can't wait any longer, I can't wait any longer, I have to capture Daming Mansion immediately! Then quickly enter Guanzhong! The current situation is too unfavorable for me! You think, apart from Hebei, Su Yonglin originally controlled Shandong and a part of Daming Mansion. !
Now that Sun Ziyi listens to him and fights with him, with the addition of several prefectures in Shandong controlled by Sun Ziyi, Su Yonglin's power is already greater than mine!uncle!Su Yonglin is already stronger than me!How can I sit still? "

When Zhao Kaishan said this, Zhao Zuoliang thought about it.

Hey, that's true.

Isn't Su Yonglin the strongest person now?

Of the three major factions of the Restoration Army, Zhao Kaishan, Su Yonglin and Sun Ziyi, Zhao Kaishan was originally the strongest, and also the one with the largest area and the largest army.

As a result, Su Yonglin overthrew Hebei through the Northern Expedition, and Sun Ziyi led the entire army to surrender to Su Yonglin, which was equivalent to the merger of the spheres of influence of Su Yonglin and Sun Ziyi.

Half of Shandong and the whole of Hebei, isn't the area controlled by Su Yonglin larger than Zhao Kaishan?

Su Yonglin was already the strongest force under the Restoration Army, and Zhao Kaishan, the leader, had not even left the Daming Mansion, let alone any other development.

When he and Su Yonglin had a falling out, one of them decided on the Northern Expedition and the other decided on the Western Expedition.

Now the Northern Expedition has overturned Hebei, defeated the elite of the Jin Army, and gained great fame, while the Western Expedition has not yet won the complete Daming Palace.

Which is better and which is worse, at a glance, this comparison is too easy to do.

The nervousness in Zhao Kaishan's heart erupted instantly, and he immediately ordered the entire army to march towards the Daming Palace City.

Zhao Zuoliang wanted to persuade, but Zhao Kaishan refused directly.

"Now is not the time to think about such a thing! If I don't march as soon as possible, Su Yonglin will be able to completely outperform me, and then the commander of the Restoration Army will be him and not me! It's all over, does it matter whether the soldiers are tired? "

Zhao Zuoliang was speechless.

So Zhao Kaishan's order was passed on.

This decision once again aroused the dissatisfaction of the army and the generals. The army was full of complaints, and there were many generals who were dissatisfied. They directly told Zhao Kaishan that it was not appropriate to quickly advance the army at this time.

Chen Qiaoshan, Li Xiao, and Zhao Yucheng were of course opposed, and other generals of the Zhao clan also opposed it, and they also wanted to rest.

Zhao Kaishan was furious, and called the generals and generals of foreign surnames who had raised objections into the military tent and scolded them for a bloody meeting, pouring out the emotions accumulated in his heart.

The generals were scolded and trembling. Although they were still dissatisfied, at least they did not dare to continue to oppose it on the surface.

They can only endure their dissatisfaction and go to gather the army, so that the army is ready to go to war.

The soldiers were very resistant to this.

Many of them have just gotten the money, and they haven't had time to entrust the money to someone else to send it home or enjoy it by themselves, and even their expectations for the festival will be dashed, and they are already very resistant in their hearts.

Not to mention that Zhao Kaishan is going to send troops to fight north again so soon. Isn't this a nonsense?

As a result, the dissatisfaction of the soldiers became stronger and stronger, which eventually led to the collective discooperation and silent protest of the soldiers.

In this regard, the generals and officers at all levels who were also dissatisfied turned a blind eye and did not try their best to stop it, and directly put all the pressure on Zhao Kaishan.

When Zhao Kaishan heard about this, he was first shocked and then furious.

"You dare to disobey my orders before the dust settles! After the dust settles, don't you want to rebel directly? Bastards! They are all bastards! Uncle, quickly lead my own soldiers to the bombing, and we must not let them succeed!"

Zhao Zuoliang quickly persuaded.

"This... open the mountain, you have to think about it, if you press it, it can make the soldiers feel fearful for a while, so they can obey your orders, but the soldiers will also have anger and resentment in their hearts.

For a while, such resentment and anger seem to be no problem, but in the long run, the soldiers will become more and more dissatisfied, and the consequences will be unimaginable. "

"Isn't it enough to reward a little more money?"

Zhao Kaishan waved his hand: "At the beginning, Zhao Guangyi failed the Northern Expedition because he didn't reward money in time, and the soldiers fought hard to reward money. Of course, not giving money can't boost the morale of the soldiers. This is Zhao Guangyi's biggest mistake!
And at that moment, just at this moment, what the soldiers ask for is nothing but money, and when I give them more money, they will have nothing to say!A problem that can be solved with money is not a problem! "

Zhao Kaishan insisted that giving the money in place can solve the problem of soldiers' morale and encourage them to move forward bravely.

After conquering Nanle County, he did seize a lot of money in the city, and found a lot of money from the corpse of the general, and he is indeed very rich now.

Zhao Zuoliang was helpless, so he could only take people to the bombing.

However, he maintained restraint and only let the personal guards arrest a few soldiers who resisted the most, and then punished them with military law, which shocked the military.

Then a wave of money was given to each soldier, and he promised a larger reward and a longer vacation after the war. He persuaded with good words, but his attitude was relatively low.

Therefore, although the soldiers still resisted in their hearts, they were unwilling to fight against money, thinking that they could get more money to give their families a better life, and finally accepted Zhao Zuoliang's statement and went out.

Under the urging of Zhao Kaishan, on December 28, more than [-] troops under Zhao Kaishan's army officially went northward, heading towards Damingfu City.

Zhao Kaishan planned to take Damingfu City in one go, and then advertised that he was also very capable and strong, and would never lose to Su Yonglin.

This war is not only related to the military situation, but also to the political situation. It is a must-win battle for the leader of the Restoration Army to catch up even when he is politically backward.

In this regard, Zhao Kaishan attached great importance to it. He personally went into battle to supervise the army's attack on Damingfu City, surrounded Damingfu City with a large number of troops, and gave Daming Fu Yin Li Zhong a huge deterrent.

At this time, Daming Mansion has actually reached the end of the battle. The long-term waiting has exhausted the will of Daming Mansion to resist, and it has never been able to receive assistance from the outside world. Recently, it is even more shocking to hear that the army of the Jin Army went south to suppress the rebellion and was defeated.

In desperation, Li Zhong lost his will to fight. In mid-December, he abandoned the city with a small number of cronies, left Damingfu, and fled to the Hedong area further west, and planned to flee further to his hometown in the Guanzhong area. a way of life.

The chief officer ran away, and soon the army and the Jurchens in the city also ran away, and the out-of-town officials also ran away, leaving only some local Han Chinese minor officials and non-brand troops.

Therefore, when Zhao Kaishan arrived in Damingfu City, he did not encounter strong resistance.

After the siege of the city for two days, the people in the city took the initiative to send people to visit Zhao Kaishan, in exchange for the safety of people's lives and property in the city, they opened the city gate and welcomed the arrival of Zhao Kaishan's army.

Therefore, Zhao Kaishan obtained a relatively complete Daming Fucheng without any bloodshed.
