Qiming 1158

Chapter 365
The initial consideration of Jianbi Qingye was made before Su Yonglin entered Hebei, and the overall plan was formulated by Su Yonglin, who led the staff department since March and April this year.

Considering the superior cavalry of the Jin Kingdom and the unstoppable terrain in Hebei, the Liberation Army, which lacked cavalry strength, wanted to face off against the Jin Army, and it would be even more difficult, and there was a danger of overturning.

At the beginning, because Zhao Gou's ancestors could not beat the Khitan people, in order to prevent them from going south, they tossed Hebei into a mess, trying to block the northern cavalry with a piece of shit.

But they forgot that even if one husband is a passer-by, there must be a "one man" who dares to guard the pass, isn't it?
As far as their virtues are concerned, even if the entire Hebei is a dangerous pass like Jianmen Pass, they may not be able to resist the onslaught of the Jin Kingdom.

But this is enough to prove that in the absence of cavalry, fighting an enemy with superior cavalry in Hebei is a very painful thing. Su Yonglin is difficult to replicate the kind of thing against Wanyan Alin, and he does not want to replicate it.

Summoning the staff to conduct tactical deductions, Su Yonglin tried his best to do everything in his power, but he failed to use his forces to defeat the Jin Army in the field, and victory could not be guaranteed.

As long as the cavalry in his hands is worn out, this battle will not be fought at all.

All the generals and staff were at a loss.

After careful consideration, Su Yonglin decided to use the unprecedented large-scale wall-clearing tactics.

At that time, they collected and inspected the population of the entire Hebei prefectures, made a comprehensive assessment, made some statistics and assessments of the population controlled by the government, the population owned by the new countryside, and the population controlled by the landlords and gentry, and also examined the defense capabilities of some key cities. .

In the entire Hebei region controlled by Su Yonglin, the Chief of Staff selected a total of [-] cities as war fortresses with strong walls and clear fields.

Most of these cities are prefectures and prefectures. The city walls are relatively high, the moat is relatively wide, the city area is relatively large, and the water supply and sanitation facilities in the city are also in place. Of course, it also includes Hejian City and the cleaned up Zhending City.

After expelling and killing many Jurchen dignitaries and residents, the accommodation capacity of each city has been improved to a certain extent, and it can accommodate a larger number of people.

The population that Su Yonglin can control is the population directly under the government and the new rural population.

Starting from the surrounding areas of the city, this part of the people was arranged to leave the countryside and take refuge in the city.

Until the end of the war, all military supplies and living supplies were concentrated in the city, and no military supplies were left for the Jinbing that could be used on the spot.

Those who can be transferred to the city will be transferred to the city, and those that cannot be afforded by the city will be arranged to go south and enter the Shandong area, and the new rural areas in Shandong will be responsible for the responsibility.

As for the part of the population under the control of the landlords, Su Yonglin couldn't force it.

Therefore, the plan formulated for this part of the population and materials is to let them also unite to build farms or simple docks with strong defense capabilities, to concentrate the population, not to be left alone, and not to give Jin people to obtain from this group of people material opportunities.

That's about the overall plan.

Use thirty cities and an indeterminate number of wild farms and docks to fully concentrate the population and materials, and not give the golden soldiers the opportunity to use them at will, greatly increasing the time and labor costs for them to obtain military supplies locally.

As long as this cost exceeds the cost of logistics and transportation, forcing Jinren to increase the squeeze on his own logistics, then this war can actually declare Su Yonglin the victory.

Of course, in order to achieve all this, Su Yonglin first needs to pay a huge cost, and more importantly, he needs a strong mobilization ability and the trust of the people.

After all, there is no sign of Jinbing going south yet, but he has to implement the policy of clearing the walls and clearing the field first. The understanding of his subordinates and the understanding of the people are indispensable.

The Khitans in Liaodong were all in decline. Once the Khitans were defeated, Wanyanliang would not wait to launch a war against the Restoration Army.

Wanyan Liang had been implementing the mobilization strategy for a long time. He had already gathered a large army, and he already had the strength to go south.

It is inevitable for the two sides to go to war, and it is not impossible to go to war in a short time, so he has to race against time.

At the military meeting, Su Yonglin announced that he would use the tactics of fortifying the walls and clearing the fields throughout Hebei, concentrating the population and materials in the fortified cities with certain defensive capabilities, and arranging a certain number of troops to defend the cities, so that the Jin army could not get effective supplies in Hebei, and it was necessary to Divide troops to attack important city areas.

The main field forces of the Restoration Army gathered in the front lines of Daming, Dongping, and Jinan, and exchanged space for time, in order to drag the Jin Army's logistical capabilities to the limit, and then start a strategic decisive battle with the Jin Army.

At that time, he will destroy the main field force of the Jin Army in one go, and attack Yanyun in one go, aiming directly at the imperial capital of the Jin Kingdom.

"The gold thief is stronger than me, and there are a large number of cavalry. It is not a good strategy to hold a horse in Hebei, and it is not a good strategy to lengthen the supply line of the Jin army. The winter is coming, and the more winter is coming, the more difficult the supply line will be, and it will grow to a certain extent. , the supply line will become extremely fragile.”

Su Yonglin pointed to Jinan House, Dongping House and Daming House in Shandong on the map, and said, "These three places are absolutely not to be lost. Our retreat will take Jinan House, Dongping House and Daming House as the bottom line, and if we cross this line, It's not a tactic, it's a rout."

The generals are naturally willing to obey the order, but there are also many people who propose that the Restoration Army is powerful and may be able to fight, and there is no need to give in so much.

For example, Su Haisheng put forward such a view.

"Alang, the golden thief may not be so strong, and we may not be so weak. If we are ready to give up the entire Hebei before the war begins, it will be too long for other people's ambition and destroy our own prestige."

Su Yonglin shook his head again and again.

"To fight, of course we can fight, but we have a weak foundation. Once the elite troops are exhausted, we will be exhausted. We not only have to defend, but also attack in the future. We will attack Yanyun in one fell swoop and overthrow Jinting. If we do not have enough troops , a disastrous victory!"

Su Yonglin stood up and said loudly, "Don't care about the gains and losses of one city, one pool and one land, some pots and jars will be broken if they are broken, and they can be rebuilt in the future. Talent is the most important thing, remember, save people's lost land, people's land. All are saved, the land is lost, the people and the land are lost!

What's more, we don't want to give up Hebei, we don't want to abandon Hebei, but we want to keep the walls clear, so that the golden thieves can't get supplies in Hebei, and at the same time protect the people of Hebei from being slaughtered by the Jin soldiers. They follow the Liberation Army. If the Jin army goes south, they will definitely be slaughtered. . "

This is true. If they ignore them, no matter how the Liberation Army wins, the people of Hebei will inevitably be looted and slaughtered by the army of the Jin Kingdom.

Since ancient times, large armies crossing the border have been more terrifying than robbers and bandits. Since the Restoration Army has collected their taxes, they must protect them, otherwise, wouldn’t they be worse than bandits?
Su Yonglin made an analogy, which is quite convincing.

Next, of course, is the implementation of specific plans.

"The golden thief has not yet gone south, I just judge that the golden thief will soon go south, and we have too many things to do. When the golden thief really goes south, it will be too late, so we must start to grab the time from now on, immediately Execute, complete the strategy of clearing the wall and clearing the wild.

From now on, each of you has a task, and each of you has to be responsible for a fixed area. When the hard walls of the area have not been completed, you are not allowed to leave your post without permission. If you violate it, you will be dealt with by military law! "

"Here!"

The army generals accepted Su Yonglin's order reflexively, and then listened to Su Yonglin's arrangement with all their attention, took their mission, and quickly left Hejian to carry out the mission.

The Jianbi Qingye Planning Group selected [-] cities with relatively high walls and relatively wide moats throughout Hebei as war fortresses.

Thirty cities will also have their own wartime systems, and each city will have a dual-core management of military chief officers and political chief officers who have been instructors to form a city defense command.

The original leadership team will automatically become subordinates and cooperators, and do not have command rights.

These thirty city defense headquarters will be the only headquarters of the thirty war fortresses during the war.

In order to make these cities have a stronger defense, those with urn cities were ordered to reinforce and heighten the urn cities, and those without urn cities hurriedly built urn cities, and built these cities in the direction of the war fortress.

The construction project was undertaken by the local government, and the person in charge Su Yonglin sent out to supervise it, recruited the people in the city to help workers, paid the wages, grabbed the construction period, and executed it at a high speed.

All must race against time and be executed urgently.
