Chapter 334 So I hardly drink

Zhao Kaishan did "leave" some legacy to Su Yonglin.

However, these inheritances are still not enough to see compared to the dozen or so capitals that have been harmed by Zhao Kaishan and the Zhao Group.

This area has suffered serious population losses, severe barren land, severe decline in food production, and spring ploughing has also been affected by the previous series of chaos.

Even if the weather is good this year, grain production is not expected to be very impressive.

What is even worse is that the previous Battle of Kaifeng and the Jinbing attack caused a serious blow to the original grain storage warehouse, and the disaster relief faced difficulties.

That is to say, Su Yonglin obtained a lot of fertile fields and food by liquidating the Zhao family and a group of tyrants around them, otherwise this winter will definitely be difficult.

Needless to say, these people don’t care about public production, they care about their own private production. The grain reserves are also more than one competition. This big mouthful of meat is really good to eat, not only for the army, but also for the people. Relief is not difficult.

However, the fatigue of the common people and the lack of production are also real. In the short term, these dozen states should not think about how much mobilization power they can squeeze out. Instead, they should implement the policy of recuperation, reduce or exempt taxes, resume production, and do good deeds.

In the end, Su Yonglin had to clean up the mess left by the Zhao Group.

Seeing that they left such a large "legacy", Su Yonglin would not care about them.

In general, Su Yonglin did not make any changes to the local political ecology. Apart from building a new countryside, he also liquidated one group of people and replaced them with another group.

Although there is no difference, the victory lies in stability, and there is no social unrest. The dozen or so states quickly adapted to Su Yonglin's decree and fell into Su Yonglin's arms.

This saves Su Yonglin from having to use troops or send people to go south on a large scale to govern directly, which saves a lot of things and allows him to better concentrate on dealing with the enemies in the north.

Zhao Zuoliang is indeed not good at military, but he doesn't need to be good at military either, he just needs to follow the established strategy set by Su Yonglin and faithfully implement the order to recuperate.

This is his greatest significance as the nominal leader of the Restoration Army.

But up to now, the existence of the name Restoration Army has been blurred by Su Yonglin.

The Restoration Army only had the Su Yonglin Corps under its jurisdiction, and under the Corps were the various armies. Zhao Zuoliang was the commander, and the only subordinate was Su Yonglin.

It means that his orders can only be issued to Su Yonglin, and in fact he does not directly control any military power.

Su Yonglin handed over administrative power and financial power to Zhao Zuoliang, dispatched several experts from the Food and Salary Department to assist Zhao Zuoliang, and the military power was firmly in his own hands.

Li Xiao, Chen Qiaoshan, Zhou Zhi, Li Rui, and Zhang Deguang followed Su Yonglin's orders directly, and Zhao Zuoliang did not have the power to recruit them and the army.

In this regard, Zhao Zuoliang himself has a very correct understanding.

In mid-June, when Su Yonglin was about to return to Hejian Mansion, Zhao Zuoliang had a conversation with him.

"All in all, I'll help you sit here. If there is an envoy from the South, I'll help you deal with it. As for the rest, Yuting, it's all up to you."

"I know."

Su Yonglin nodded: "For things in the south, my father-in-law will take more care, rest with the people, and resume production. For things in the north, I will do my best."

"If you don't fight well on your side, no matter how good my recovery is, it's useless. It's better to just kill yourself."

Zhao Zuoliang smiled, patted Su Yonglin on the shoulder, and put away the smile on his face.

"Now, you are everyone's only hope, Yuting, don't let us down."

Su Yonglin was silent for a while, then nodded, then got on his horse, set off for the north, and returned to his combat post.

He used the fastest speed to integrate all the forces of the Restoration Army, and the next step is to go all out to fight against the Jin Kingdom's upcoming southern expedition.

Before returning to Hejian Mansion, Su Yonglin made a special trip to the beach to see how far the navy was built by Sun Tzu Yi.

The progress is very good, and Su Yonglin is very satisfied. In a short period of time, the navy already has more than 50 medium-sized sea-going ships and a dozen large-scale sea-going ships. It is already a remarkable sea-going force among the private salt dealers in the Southern Song Dynasty. Armed Forces too.

However, as a navy, such a scale is still a little small. The scale of Jin Guo's navy has reached the point of [-] warships. This is the conclusion given by the latest intelligence.

Su Yonglin and Sun Ziyi talked about this while walking on the beach.

"Although we have people who are good at water warfare, but if the number of warships is too small, it will be a little difficult to attack the Jin Kingdom's navy by surprise, so the speed should be accelerated or accelerated, and there must be at least a hundred large, medium and small warships. Can."

Sun Ziyi nodded.

"I know this. I will supervise the craftsmen to speed up. There are a lot of sailors in place now, and the ships feel a little insufficient. Now the built ships have also gone out to sea many times to practice tactics at sea. I look good. Yes, it shouldn't be a problem for the group of landlubbers with gold thieves."

"The golden thief is indeed a landslide."

Su Yonglin smiled and said, "But our navy has to deal with not only golden thieves, but also more capable enemies in the future, and we must become stronger. Brother Ziyi, I will leave the navy to me. You, don't let me down."

"Don't worry, Yuting, I won't let you down."

Sun Ziyi patted his chest as a guarantee.

Then, the two chatted about the topic of Zhao Kaishan.

"Although I hate him very much, I feel a little embarrassed that he died like this, not to mention that he died so suffocatingly, I think he must be very unwilling before his death."

Sun Ziyi sighed and said, "At the beginning, the three of us advocated the uprising together. If we can always cooperate sincerely, Zhao Kaishan should not be so aggrieved."

Why didn't Su Yonglin sigh for this?
"He was stunned, unable to resist the temptation of power, and pursued greater power wholeheartedly, pursuing the thrill of life and death, but he didn't know that the greater the power, the more restrained the use of power, the unbridled sway of power, It must be a harbinger of failure."

Sun Ziyi looked at Su Yonglin.

"Yuting said it well, but unfortunately most people don't understand this truth. Zhao Kaishan is like this, and the same is true for the faint-hearted tyrants throughout the ages."

"The power is intoxicating. Once the power is in hand, you will not be able to recognize the south, south, north, and west. You will feel like a fairy, and you will want to act recklessly."

Su Yonglin shook his head and sighed.

Sun Ziyi smiled.

"In terms of power, the most powerful in Hebei and Shandong is of course Yuting. Yuting holds the military and political power in Hebei and Shandong, and is the real leader of the Restoration Army. I have never seen such power in hand The rain pavilion flutters like a fairy, and acts recklessly."

"I?"

Su Yonglin shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Maybe I'm different from others. They are more excited when they have more power, but I am more worried when they have more power. Power is a burden to me, a kind of heavy pressure, and it weighs heavily on me. , pressing it in my heart makes me unhappy..."

"How could it be so?"

Sun Ziyi asked, "Don't you say that power is intoxicating?"

"So I hardly drink."

Su Yonglin looked at Sun Ziyi and laughed.

Sun Ziyi also laughed.

"It is a blessing for the Restoration Army to have Yuting as the master."

Su Yonglin shook his head slightly.

"The Liberation Army can trust me and obey my orders. It is not a blessing for me. Without the Liberation Army, how could I have done anything?"

"There are still too few people like the rain pavilion."

Sun Ziyi sighed slightly: "This is the end of the matter, we can only say goodbye to Zhao Kaishan."

"Farewell, we will never see each other again in this life. I wonder if we can see him on the other side after we die."

Su Yonglin smiled and said, "At that time, maybe we can leave everything behind and have a good time. We can talk about what happened after his death, and then talk about the past. It might be interesting."

"Maybe."

Sun Ziyi looked up at the sky melancholy, and saw that there was not a single cloud in the blue sky, and the sky was clear for thousands of miles.

Su Yonglin also followed his line of sight, and only saw the clear sky for thousands of miles, and saw nothing else.

Well, today is a nice sunny day.

------------

Yesterday, I took the college entrance examination, but because I was too oblivious to the code the day before yesterday, I even forgot about the college entrance examination. When I woke up, the exam was over. It was over. My life was over. What's the point of being alive?What will my parents think of me?What will my relatives think of me?What will teachers and classmates think of me?

What?It's been five years since I graduated?

Oh, that's fine.
