Chapter 309

On the same day Wanyanliang knew the truth in Zhongdu, on the first day of May, Su Yonglin and Zhao Xirui officially married in Hejian Mansion.

The news that Su Yonglin was getting married spread out half a month ago, and everyone who should know knew it, as well as everyone who shouldn't.

Most people are lamenting that Zhao Zuoliang has the courage to marry his daughter to Su Yonglin. At the same time, many people suspect that there is a shadow of Zhao Kaishan behind this, and Zhao Kaishan may be inseparable from it.

However, the fact that Zhao Kaishan led his troops to Dongping Mansion to meet Su Yonglin and then withdrew the troops seemed quite strange.

Several things happened together in a row, making it difficult for many people to judge what happened.

To say that there is no shadow of Zhao Kaishan behind this matter, the relationship between Zhao Kaishan and Zhao Zuoliang is there.

To say that this matter has something to do with Zhao Kaishan, when Zhao Kaishan heard the news, he directly led his troops north to Dongping Mansion and almost caused a civil war of the Restoration Army. It was very strange.

What is going on here?

It is impossible for anyone to know the reason for a while, because the parties do not say anything.

But if Zhao Kaishan is happy about this matter, it can also be said that he is not happy, this is certain.

Because Zhao Kaishan fell ill on the way back to the division, vomited a mouthful of blood, and after returning to Linyi, he lay directly on the bed, unconscious, unable to manage politics, and unable to parade.

His subordinates were very anxious and called for a local famous doctor to diagnose and treat Zhao Kaishan.

After seeing the famous doctor, he frowned and said that it was due to exhaustion and weakness, and he was stimulated. In addition, he might have suffered from cold on the way back to the army. He was already seriously ill, and he had to lie in bed and slowly adjust his body.

I can't work hard, I can't meet the wind, I don't even think about marching and fighting, and because the condition is relatively serious, the medication needs to be carefully considered at the moment.

Anyway, in the final analysis, it is a sentence - Zhao Kaishan is not out of danger.

Zhao Kaishan fell ill, and the people of the Liberation Army were panicked, and everyone had the dangerous idea of ​​[what should the Liberation Army do if Zhao Kaishan can't get up again].

Big guy, you look at me, I look at you, everyone's faces are blank.

After finally waiting for Zhao Kaishan to open his eyes and become a little more awake, the important generals of the Liberation Army quickly gathered together and asked Zhao Kaishan what to do. He couldn't do anything, and who should the Liberation Army listen to.

Zhao Kaishan was weak and unable to speak. Seeing that Zhao Yucheng was also beside his bed, he pointed at Zhao Yucheng with all his strength, and then passed out again.

Everyone understands that Zhao Kaishan is asking Zhao Yucheng to temporarily act as the government, and to knock down the banner of the Restoration Army. When he recovers from his illness, he can continue to toss the people of the Jin Kingdom with everyone.

This meant that, so Zhao Yucheng took over the appointment in front of Zhao Kaishan's hospital bed and assumed the position of acting commander.

There is nothing dissatisfied with everyone, and they directly agree.

The name is confirmed, but when it comes to the executive level, the problem comes.

Zhao Yucheng has indeed been in the army for a long time, but he is too young, only 19 years old, and has not made any decent achievements.

I have fought a few battles, won a few times, and lost a few times. If this is considered acceptable, the most terrible thing is a major defeat. I lost some of the elite of the Beiwei Army at that time, lost their military positions, and only restarted later. was appointed commander.

That defeat had a great impact on Zhao Yucheng, causing his military level to be widely questioned, and it hasn't improved until now. When everyone talks about the son of the commander-in-chief, they will think of Zhao Yucheng's previous defeat.

Without military achievements, of course, it will not be able to stand firm in the military group of the Restoration Army.

However, Zhao Yucheng doesn't seem to realize this, and has no worries in this regard.

He thinks that Zhao Kaishan temporarily let him do this position, so he will do it honestly, and always have to make some achievements.

When Zhao Kaishan was in power, he did a lot of things that were not very good for the Liberation Army. Zhao Kaishan didn't know it himself, but Zhao Yucheng, who was in the army, knew it very well.

He knew that some of Zhao Kaishan's policies had done a lot of damage to the Restoration Army and the people, and they should be corrected, otherwise the Restoration Army would definitely not last long and would lose the people's hearts.

Taking this opportunity, Zhao Yucheng planned to do something to reverse the situation of the Liberation Army's continuous decline and bring the Liberation Army back to the right path.

So while Zhao Kaishan was asleep, Zhao Yucheng summoned a group of military generals and decided to hold a meeting to discuss the future direction of the Restoration Army.

At the meeting, Zhao Yucheng took the initiative to speak and decided to correct some mistakes that Zhao Kaishan made when he was in power.

Zhao Yucheng's thought was greatly influenced by Su Yonglin.

For a long time, Zhao Yucheng insisted on communicating with Su Yonglin, asking Su Yonglin about her doubts and seeking answers.

So in terms of military and political thought, under the subtle influence of Su Yonglin, he gradually accepted Su Yonglin's idea that the uprising of the Restoration Army must rely on the people at the bottom.

He began to think that the Restoration Army should not rely solely on the tyrannical power of the landlords, but should also tilt its policies toward the peasants and refugees, and distribute some of the results of the Restoration Army to the farmers, in order to mobilize the enthusiasm of the farmers and refugees for the uprising.

This will fundamentally solve the increasingly serious problem of recruitment difficulties for the Restoration Army.

Zhao Yucheng saw Zhao Kaishan's forced recruitment of soldiers and money to buy soldiers from landlords and tyrants. He strongly disapproved of such an unsustainable model, and felt that the Restoration Army must establish a stable and reliable recruiting model.

Just recruiting troops is no longer enough.

"The source of troops comes from the common people, but why do the common people follow the Liberation Army to fight? I thought the first was the hatred of the Jurchens of the Jin Kingdom, and the second was that we could get the results of the war, land and money, but before, we didn't do well. meet the needs of the people.

Recruit them to join the army, just give them simple salaries and food, and even sometimes they can't even get them in place. After defeating them, they can only get a small amount of bounty, and after they die, they can only get a small amount of pension. land.

This is quite disappointing for the common people, so we find that it is becoming more and more difficult to recruit soldiers, and even compulsory recruiting is necessary, which greatly hurts the hearts of the people.

Once the people's hearts are lost, they will lose the source of troops. This is too dangerous for the Restoration Army. Imagine if we could give some of the land seized from the Jin people to ordinary people, why would they not actively join the army? "

At the meeting, Zhao Yucheng gave his own plan to solve the difficult problem of conscription, and further demanded that it be implemented.

He advocated that part of the public land seized from the Jin State government and Jurchen landlords should be given to the common people who contributed to the Restoration Army, so that they could receive land rewards and the dividends of the uprising.

In this way, we can really mobilize their enthusiasm.

And this increases the amount of land and household registration that can be taxed, making the logistics of the Restoration Army more powerful.

He wants to count the number of public land actually held by the Restoration Army and the number of people who have not obtained land within the jurisdiction, conduct a general review, and then carry out the land granting operation.

Of course, if it is found that the public land has been occupied, it must be recovered and the crime must be punished.

This proposal was put on the table, and for a while, the expressions of everyone in the meeting were a bit wrong.

If you want to say who will get the most dividends from the uprising, everyone here obviously has their own share.

Not to mention the Zhao clansmen who were already in the Zhao family before the war, all of them are very rich, even Li Xiao, Chen Qiaoshan and other people who were only the elite thugs around Zhao Kaishan before the war, at least there is one now. Industry of several thousand acres of land.

Zhao Kaishan is still not stingy with the Zhao family. Every time he wins a battle, he will reward his subordinates with land, money, servants, etc. Even a clean and honest official can easily accumulate a relatively large amount of money under Zhao Kaishan's hands. industry.

This is all legitimate and legitimate income.

Moreover, after he became the commander-in-chief and had a greater desire for power, he was less concerned with land and money, and more valued on power and status, instead of holding on to a few acres of land.

Therefore, the occupation of public land is not even a problem in Zhao Kaishan's view, and it has been a long time with one eye closed.

Anyway, as long as Zhao Kaishan himself is the largest landowner with the land industry, that's enough.

So in a sense, everyone is not very clean.

If you really want to implement Zhao Yucheng's policy, almost no one is without problems.
