Qiming 1158

Chapter 276 The two people's wolf ambitions are finally exposed!

The marriage is basically done, but for now it's a secret.

Su Yonglin and Zhao Zuoliang still have unfinished business.

Zhao Kaishan will definitely not watch Zhao Zuoliang marry his daughter to Su Yonglin without reacting. In order to implement the matter, Su Yonglin needs to bring Zhao Zuoliang's family to his side.

So he didn't announce it to the public, and he didn't even tell the people around him.

In order to achieve this goal, Su Yonglin dispatched all the soldiers of the second row of the Huben Battalion and the fifth action group of the intelligence force.

This special operation was led by Zhou Shaoning, the leader of the Fifth Action Group.

It is not difficult to take away Zhao Zuoliang's family, but Zhao Zuoliang's son Zhao Xiuye ​​is currently being held in the prison of Linyi County as a political bargaining chip. In order to get him out, it may take a little thought.

Of course this is not difficult.

Zhao Kaishan was not in Yizhou, nor did he personally watch this matter, so Yizhou was temporarily in a state where the sky was high and the emperor was far away.

According to the habit of those officials, unless Zhao Kaishan came in person, as long as they had the money, they could say anything. As long as the money was in place, they could even take a certain risk to help.

So Su Yonglin approved a special fund, and planned to use Bailing's bribery to exchange the prince with a civet cat and rescue Zhao Xiuye.

"Of course, after he was rescued, the father-in-law also asked him to strictly restrain him. The strictness and enforcement of the laws and regulations on the side of the son-in-law far exceeded the severity and enforcement of the laws and regulations on the side of Zhao Lingshuai, and they were very selfless."

Su Yonglin gave Zhao Zuoliang a final warning.

For such a warning, Zhao Zuoliang took a deep breath and nodded slowly.

"I promise you, I won't make the same mistake a second time."

"So good."

Everything ended here, Zhao Zuoliang soon went south under the protection of the personnel arranged by Su Yonglin.

Later, during the entire army reorganization, Su Yonglin wrote a symbolic letter to Zhao Kaishan, asking Zhao Kaishan to formally appoint himself as the commander-in-chief of the Corps and Sun Ziyi as the deputy commander of the Corps to facilitate his subsequent military operations.

There is no negotiation or request in the words, just a kind of announcement, a symbolic announcement, which means that whether you agree or not, I will do it.

Anyway, Zhao Kaishan can't influence Su Yonglin.

After Sun Ziyi was annexed, the entire Hebei plus half of Shandong was actually Su Yonglin's sphere of influence, and Su Yonglin's actual power was already bigger than Zhao Kaishan.

No matter what Zhao Kaishan said, the sphere of influence created by actual practical strength cannot be replaced by words. If Zhao Kaishan wants to do something, the first thing he has to face is not Su Yonglin, but the doubts of his subordinates.

It is true that the number of fighting troops under Su Yonglin is not as maddening as Zhao Kaishan's.

Su Yonglin has made some simplifications for each unit, eliminating the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, those who are willing to go home, and those who don't want to go home to earn auxiliary troops. It is also considered to be the best use of people.

The main combat troops are basically young and middle-aged, and there is no such thing as the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled.

Before the streamlining, during the chaos in Hebei, the army in Hebei could always make up 23 to 24.

Su Yonglin cut down [-] to [-] troops after streamlining, and all of them were sent home or converted into auxiliary soldiers, and the combatants were clear.

Even if the young and middle-aged people have not undergone formal military training, their combat effectiveness is generally stronger than that of the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled.

And Zhao Kaishan doesn't do this.

He is recruiting soldiers to the death, or even armed recruiting. In addition to the total strength of more than [-] troops in his own army, there are other major armed groups around [-] to [-].

Counting some of the grain shooting troops that belonged to Jin Ting who had surrendered to him in the capital cities of various states, his total strength can reach 25, which is indeed huge.

These troops are nominally under Zhao Kaishan's command, but except for the armies of Zhao Kaishan's headquarters, the formation and command of the other armies and battalions is very unclear.

To a considerable extent, these armies were just stragglers under the banner of the Restoration Army. Whether Zhao Kaishan knew of their existence was a problem, let alone unified command.

Zhao Kaishan is also not interested in helping these landlord armed groups to train and organize clearly, as long as they can exist as a military force.

As long as they exist, they will obey Zhao Kaishan's orders and fight bravely for his orders.

As for whether they are really anti-gold or fish in troubled waters, he doesn't care.

Therefore, when attacking Nanle County, Zhao Kaishan lost more than half of his army, and had to recruit troops instead of recruiting the remaining 10,000+ ready-made troops in order to maintain his strength.

The main reason is that he has no way of contacting and coordinating those landlord armed groups in a short period of time, and can only use the simple and low-cost method of direct recruitment to maintain the number.

In this way, the quantity is guaranteed, but the quality is not guaranteed.

There is no way, even if it is the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, as long as it is a man, it will be pulled to make up the number and sent to the battlefield as cannon fodder. Quan should be cleaning the useless population.

Nanle County was at the back. Because of the lack of logistics personnel, Zhao Kaishan even allowed some young and strong peasant women to be used, and even women were not spared.

So after this battle, Zhao Kaishan tried every means to increase the number of troops directly under him, trying to solve all the problems that could be solved by himself.

He directly recruited troops in the entire Daming Mansion and expanded the army by 30 in one go. He was complacent and felt that he would soon have an army of [-].

Then Su Yonglin's notification letter was sent.

In the letter, Su Yonglin rudely told him that he and Sun Ziyi were joining forces, that they were going to establish a regiment, and that they were going to be the commander-in-chief. Please ask Zhao Kaishan for permission and issue an official order.

It's not like a request at all, just a very direct notification.

This made Zhao Kaishan angry, and he almost vomited blood.

Fortunately, Zhao Xiang completed the task of armed recruitment and returned to Zhao Kaishan. He comforted Zhao Kaishan with kind words and gave him a good luck.

"Su Yonglin is arrogant and ignorant and has no eyes on the leader. This is his sin. The leader can't be angry with him. The health is more important, or the health is more important."

Zhao Kaishan pushed Zhao Xiang away.

"Su Yonglin! Sun Ziyi! The wolf ambitions of these two people are finally revealed! The two joined forces to occupy Hebei, and they also pulled up a regiment to be the commander-in-chief! Why didn't he just ask me to take the identity of the leader of the Restoration Army. Forget it! I give it! I really give it!"

Zhao Kaishan gritted his teeth and slammed the table, full of anger.

"It's not a matter of a day or two for these two people to conspire, and the commander didn't know it just now. The key problem now is that these two people are fighting together, and their strength has greatly increased. Hebei and half of Shandong are under their control, so In the first place, it is very bad for us.”

Zhao Xiang whispered: "Su Yonglin defeated the Golden Bandit Cavalry, and his prestige has soared. It seems that these days, there are many people in our army who admire Su Yonglin. Many people even publicly praised Su Yonglin's military exploits."

"Are there many people like this?"

Zhao Kaishan's expression tightened.

"It can't be less."

Zhao Xiang gave a high emotional intelligence answer.

Zhao Kaishan was silent for a while, then looked at Zhao Xiang.

"If we turn against Su Yonglin now, what are the odds of winning? Can we win?"

Zhao Xiang is indeed a little clever and likes to come up with bad ideas, but he is not a low IQ. Of course, he can see how capable Su Yonglin is. To confront it head-on, isn't it just waiting to die?
"Leader, Su Yonglin is someone who can defeat [-] cavalrymen from the Golden Bandit. If we go head-to-head with him...and he belongs to the Restoration Army, he didn't rebel blatantly."

"This……"

When Zhao Xiang talked about these things, Zhao Kaishan was also a little embarrassed. He remembered how he was rubbed on the ground by the Golden Army cavalry, and how he was dragged by a county for almost three months, and he suddenly lost his face with Su Yonglin. The idea of ​​confrontation.

But he really couldn't hold his breath. He always felt that if he couldn't do something this time, once Su Yonglin really won the strategic battle against Jin Jun, then everything would be over.

His prestige will directly overshadow everything, Zhao Kaishan won't even have the chance to struggle, he can decide the fate of Zhao Kaishan and the Zhao family with just one sentence.

How can this be accepted?
