Chapter 368 Operation "Earning Extra Money"

Under Su Yonglin's order, the leadership of the Restoration Army was dispatched almost in full force, leading his subordinates to join in this unprecedented tactical operation according to Su Yonglin's request.

Those who did not understand the horror of this tactic have experienced it firsthand.

The people do not need to fight and defeat the enemy on the battlefield. As long as they can organize and achieve the goal of clearing the walls and clearing the fields, it is enough to exert the beneficial effect of hundreds of thousands of troops on the frontal battlefield.

They do not need to be transformed into their own military strength. As long as they do not help the Jin army, the Jin army will face unprecedented difficulties.

And this kind of thing is easier said than done. It's easier said than done if you want them not to help Jin Jun?

But now, under the leadership of Su Yonglin, the Restoration Army has really done it.

In the area under Su Yonglin's rule, on the land of Hebei, the tactics of fortifying the walls and clearing the fields are being carried out quickly.

On the other hand, in Shandong, Su Yonglin did not intend to implement Hebei's straightforward and thorough strategy of clearing the wall, but instead set a resolute counterattack strategy.

Shandong will not be in danger until Hebei collapses.

And once Hebei collapses, it means that Su Yonglin's main force has collapsed, so it doesn't matter so much whether Shandong is strong and clear.

Before that, the only enemy Shandong needed to face was Kong Yanzhou of Kaifeng House.

The combat effectiveness of Kong Yanzhou's team has been fully reflected in the previous fight with Zhao Kaishan.

Not strong.

The troops were not too many. The reason why Zhao Kaishan collapsed was that his hometown was seized by the cavalry of the Jin Army, not defeated by Kong Yanzhou.

Therefore, Su Yonglin is not worried that Kong Yanzhou's threat will make Shandong collapse. The main force of Shandong's five armies and a group of local armed forces are not vegetarians, and they are not afraid of Kong Yanzhou who have fought before.

Therefore, Su Yonglin planned to arrange for the Shandong army to directly counterattack when Kong Yanzhou launched an attack, and strive to defeat Kong Yanzhou in the first battle, and then quickly advance to Kaifeng, which contributed to the collapse of the Nanjing Road Theater of the Jin Army.

The significance of this frontier defense theater near the Southern Song Dynasty is very great. In Su Yonglin's view, once the Nanjing Road collapses, it means that Jin Guo has basically bid farewell to the Central Plains, and it also means that the tactic of Jin Guo's three-way attack goes bankrupt and cannot threaten the Restoration Army from the side and rear. .

Although Kong Yanzhou's strength is small, his influence is not small, and his every move will also bring certain pressure to the Southern Song Dynasty.

When Zhao Kaishan went on expedition, the Southern Song Dynasty acted as a transparent person throughout the whole process, giving Su Yonglin the opportunity to use the propaganda force to attack the Southern Song Dynasty, but this does not mean that the Southern Song Dynasty really did not have enterprising military power.

It's just that Zhao Gou doesn't have the courage.

The last time Zhao Kaishan's defeat seemed to prove Zhao Gou's "prescient", and this time, if the Restoration Army won, conquered Kaifeng, and contributed to the collapse of the Nanjing Road Theater of the Jin Dynasty, then the reaction of the Southern Song Dynasty would have been great. Uncertainty.

For this uncertainty, Su Yonglin wrote to Zhao Zuoliang, asking Zhao Zuoliang to do his best to defeat Kong Yanzhou without hesitation and recover Kaifeng as much as possible.

At the same time, he believed that the Southern Song Dynasty was unlikely to use troops directly. For those who rebelled against the Han people, the Southern Song Dynasty was likely to resort to Huairou, trying to bring back Kaifeng from the hands of the Restoration Army.

Of course, Zhao Gou's schizophrenia-like behavior pattern may still be repeated, unless the Restoration Army really pushes Jin Guo back to Liaodong, then Zhao Gou may be really relieved.

Otherwise, Zhao Gou would have worried that after the Liberation Army was killed by Wanyanliang, he would be targeted by Wanyanliang.

In a word, be wary of Song, but don't worry about Zhao Gou. With Zhao Gou around, the Southern Song Dynasty will not implement aggressive strategies unless Zhao Gou is no longer the emperor.

Zhao Zuoliang's task is to wipe out Kong Yanzhou as much as possible, use Kong Yanzhou's head to pay homage to the people killed by him, and then take down Kaifeng.

Su Yonglin also said in the letter that he believed in Zhao Zuoliang.

In fact, he really believed in Zhao Zuoliang.

Although Zhao Zuoliang doesn't have a strong military talent, he is good at taking advice and respects professionals, and he won't pretend to understand. , will obey orders.

that's enough.

Shandong does not need to implement such a thorough clean-up, and can dispatch a lot of manpower and material resources to help Hebei. Now Shandong has dispatched a lot of manpower and material resources to help Hebei achieve this goal and achieve cross-regional cooperation between the two regions.

This is also extremely shocking in the eyes of some officials.

People from different regions can even be regarded as people from different countries in this era. It is almost impossible for them to help each other. However, under the leadership of the Restoration Army, the mutual assistance between Shandong and Hebei has become a reality.

What kind of power can realize this kind of cross-regional mutual assistance, and make the people willing not to complain?

Almost everyone with an idea goes to the root of the problem in action.

War is about logistics, this is what Su Yonglin often said.

And his own behavior of attaching great importance to the combat effectiveness of the army made the generals feel that he did not care so much about logistics.

As a result, the frontal war has not yet started, and the logistical war has already started vigorously.

Is this a different kind of military first without food and forage?
In the face of such a situation, in the face of this man-made strategy of fortifying the wall and clearing the field, Jin Jun dispatched so many troops, can their logistics hold up?

If you can hold on, how long will it take?

Can they really resist the mortal situation that Su Yonglin laid out for them?
In this battle, it seems that the dawn of victory has really been seen.

While the generals and officials were acting, they really felt that victory was coming to them step by step.

In order to deal with the isolation and helplessness of the Khitans after the defeat, and also to attract Jin Guo's attention to cooperate with the tactics of clearing the wall and clearing the field, Su Yonglin has been ordering Sun Ziyi to dispatch the navy since the middle and late August.

On the one hand, it is to fight against the Jin Kingdom, and on the other hand, it is also to exercise the water combat capabilities of the navy soldiers, so that they can become familiar with the life on the water more quickly, and lay the foundation for the decisive battle with the Song army navy in the future.

The Song Jun navy is not a weak chicken like the Jin Jun navy. The performance of the Song Jun navy is still remarkable. The navy who has never had any advantages hastily confronted the Song Jun navy, and he might overturn.

Sun Ziyi then led the navy to carry the army all the way north, and landed smoothly in the Yanyun area of ​​the Jin Kingdom and even the coastal part of the Liaodong area without encountering any obstacles. After a little rectification, he began to search deeply for human settlements and began to invade.

Apart from a few fishermen, there are no people living in the coastal areas. If the army continues to move inland, they will encounter coastal prefectures and counties.

These areas are not at wartime, and there is no warning. Faced with the sudden attack of the Restoration Army, they are often unprepared, and the city cannot be defended.

The next step is looting. The warehouses in these cities will be looted by the Restoration Army. The Restoration Army will snatch money, cloth, weapons and equipment, and food. The Jurchen is either killed or captured, and all the goods are robbed.

The rest of the crowd who are willing to follow the Liberation Army can follow, and the Liberation Army who are unwilling to go will not be reluctant, destroying the military facilities and leaving.

Su Yonglin named this behavior "earning extra money".

And because the naval forces brought back a lot of supplies and money every time they attacked, Sun Ziyi soon became the most popular general in the entire food and pay department.

Not only that, Sun Ziyi's actions are also quite cunning.

When there is no resistance, Sun Ziyi will take the army to break through several defenseless cities in a row, but as long as they hear where the army is coming or see where there is defense, they will quickly withdraw and sail away.

That means their whereabouts have been exposed, and an organized army will come here.

go!
So when the golden soldiers arrived, it was often too late. The valuable things in the city were gone, and the food was gone. These pirates-like Restoration Army swept away the essence and left a bunch of bad things. Let them deal with it.

Su Yonglin had many ships, and the Jin Army had no ships to compete with the navy of the Liberation Army, so the sea became a paradise for the navy of the Liberation Army.

They set up ships to attack everywhere, landed everywhere, looted and murdered everywhere, and even reached Liaodong and landed on the coast of Liaodong, posing a huge threat to the Jurchens in Liaodong.
