Chapter 475 Why did Su Shuai come to Shandong to rebel?

For this question, Zhou Zhi also thought about it for a while in the past few days and came up with his own answer.

"lucky."

Zhou Zhi said loudly: "They don't want to believe that the gold lord and the hundreds of thousands of troops will be wiped out by us, so they are still struggling to the death. It is unwise to fight against such an enemy on the city wall. I think they should use some more Something persuasive to convince them."

"for example?"

"The battle flags of the golden thieves and armies we captured were sent to us by Su Shuai to deter the enemy. At this moment, we should let the golden thieves in the city take a good look at our evidence. In addition, we should use Su Shuai's [Total Expulsion] Jurchen] strategy, shouting to the Han people in the city, even if you can't talk to them for a while, it can make a rift between them."

Zhou Zhi sneered: "As a result, the Han people and the Jurchens in the city must be suspicious of each other and beware of each other. At that time, if there is a fire in the city, wouldn't our army be able to take Kaifeng lightly?"

Zhang Yue nodded, and the rest of the generals and staff also nodded, thinking that Zhou Zhi's idea was right.

Zhang Yuejing made some supplements to Zhou Zhi's strategy, such as how to prevent the southern Jin army from going north to support or some elite Jin army to copy their back path.

Just like Zhao Kaishan's attack on Kaifeng last year, the success and failure of Kaifeng fell.

All tasks have been assigned, and the next step is to prepare immediately.

Zhou Zhi also suggested that Zhang Yuejing, in addition to the battle flags and other evidence, had better write down the policy of the Restoration Army only targeting the Jurchens and not targeting ethnic groups such as the Han and Khitans on a piece of paper and project them into the city for the soldiers in the city to see.

Some people say that ordinary soldiers are illiterate and useless to write, but Zhou Zhi doesn't think so.

"Ordinary soldiers can't understand it, but those Han officers and bureaucrats can't understand it? If they understand it, will they completely block the news and not tell their subordinates? Some news will spread to the whole army as long as a few people know it."

Zhou Zhi is very sure about this.

He believed that as long as someone could understand such things as the Restoration Army's policy toward the enemy, he would not worry that the Restoration Army's policy toward the enemy would not spread in the city.

Once such news spreads in the city, even if such a thing does not happen for a while, it will also cause Jurchen to be suspicious of ethnic groups such as Han people.

In this way, the Han people and the Jurchens in the city were separated from each other, and the main components of Kaifeng's city defense were also Han people.

Zhang Yue Scenic nodded, agreed with this, and immediately ordered his subordinates to do it.

After the strategy was instructed, the meeting was temporarily over. The officers of the army returned to their original positions to take charge of the things they were responsible for, while Zhou Zhi was left behind by Zhang Yuejing, who led him to talk.

"These strategies are all good strategies against the enemy, how did you come up with them? Or did anyone advise you?"

"I figured it out myself."

Zhou Zhi smiled: "Besides training before, I also listened to the lessons given by some instructors to the soldiers, listening to the statement that the division and disintegration of the interior of the Jin State, and the conflict between the Han and the Jurchens within the Jin State, make a big fuss.

At first, I was in a fog, but later I asked the instructor for advice. The instructor explained it to me with practical examples, and I gradually understood that it turned out that the gold thief was not just a fight with soldiers and horses.

For gold thieves, we need to seize their own weaknesses and fight with soldiers and horses. If we just use soldiers and horses to fight, we may spend more time to destroy them.

In this way, I feel that Su Shuai's theory is broad and profound. He looks at the problem straight to the point and directly penetrates into the deepest root. It is really amazing. I admire Su Shuai very much. "

"That's natural. We have all relied on Alang's foresight and proper response along the way. Without Alang's leadership, how could we be able to do anything?"

Zhang Yuejing nodded, walked for a while, and suddenly asked Zhou Zhi's family background.

"I heard that you came from a wealthy background. Originally, you had no worries about food and clothing, and lived a normal life in the yamen, but then your family property was taken away by the golden thief. Is that so?"

Zhou Zhi nodded slowly.

Regarding his origin, it is not a secret in the army, many people know it, and you can find out with a little inquiries.

"My family originally had [-] acres of fertile land, and I lived a good life when I was young. I didn't say anything about brocade clothes and jade food, and I didn't have any worries about hunger. It was just that the good times didn't last long.

My family’s land was robbed, and my father refused to hand over the land. He was persecuted to death by the gold thief, and his family was ruined. There were 72 members of the family, and now I am the only one alive. "

"and after?"

"Afterwards, I wandered with many local refugees. I struggled to survive with hunger and a full meal. I was lucky. I honed my fighting skills and pulled three or five friends into groups, but I didn't get hungry. After he died, he was taken over by the old commander as a family nursery, and he had a place to live and live."

Zhou Zhi slowly talked about his tragic past, and Zhang Yuejing was also very emotional when he heard it.

"Your background is better than mine, but your later experience is similar. My family is just an ordinary farmer, with more than ten acres of thin fields to barely support the family. A natural disaster caused the food to be lost, the land was forcibly bought, and the family died.

I wandered all the way with the refugees. I was lucky enough to be taken in by Alang. I became the servant of the Su family and the entourage of Alang. That’s how I am today. If my luck was a little bit worse back then, I would definitely starve to death. Thinking about it now, I feel hungry. I can still recall. "

Zhou Zhi nodded silently without speaking, wondering if he was thinking back to the days when he was struggling to survive.

Zhang Yuejing looked at the silent Zhouzhi, thought about it, and then slowly said, "Can you feel the suffering of ordinary people on the road to survival?"

Zhou Zhi raised his head and looked at Zhang Yuejing with a bitter look on his face.

"That's not the suffering of ordinary people. Ordinary people still have more than ten acres of thin fields and a house. In those years, I didn't look like a person at all, and even people were almost dead. It's nothing to grab food from people. It's the hardest thing for a wild dog to eat.

Wild dogs are fierce, their teeth are sharp, and they often form in groups. We finally found something to eat. At the same time, we also called the wild dogs to stare at them. Wild dogs are cunning and do not admit defeat. They have to beat them to death or We can drive away until we are lame, but then we will be injured ourselves..."

Zhang Yuejing sighed.

"Yeah, that's inhuman suffering."

"Inhuman suffering is indeed inhuman suffering. To be able to carry it over is a great fate. At that time, none of the three or five friends who were in the group with me survived. All of them died, and I was the only one left."

Zhou Zhi said with a wry smile: "If this is considered ordinary people, I am afraid that the world will be turned against each other long ago, right?"

"indeed so."

Zhang Yuejing nodded and said: "That's why Alang vowed to change such a cruel world, so he took hundreds of us from the Song Kingdom to the north of Shandong, and created a rebellion against the Jin Kingdom. Seeing that the clouds and mists are cleared to see the moon, looking back, these two years have not been easy..."

Speaking of this matter, Zhou Zhi immediately became interested.

"When I listened to the instructor's lecture, I had a lot of puzzles, and the most puzzled one was why Su Shuai came to Shandong to rebel. General Zhang, you are Su Shuai's former department. Do you know why Su Shuai came to Shandong to rebel? I But I heard that Su Shuai came from a family of officials in the Song Kingdom."

"Indeed, A Lang's grandfather was a serious jinshi. He also participated in the Northern Expedition with General Yue Fei. Later, he served as county magistrate, governor and other local positions, and managed the salt administration, and his rank is not low."

"How could that be... I heard that Su Shuai later sold smuggled salt."

"I don't know the inside story. Anyway, when I followed Alang, the Su family had already started selling smuggled salt. I don't know much about the relationship between Alang's grandfather and father. All I know is Alang. Just people."

"This... can you elaborate?"

Zhou Zhi's face was full of interest.

Zhang Yue nodded his head.

"Of course, Alang has never concealed himself. I even think that Alang is not a person from the world, but a person from heaven. You say, all the sufferings in this world have to be eaten by us. How could I have noticed that I was hungry in my stomach?
But Alang saw it. Alang said that the first time he went out, the first time he saw people who were freezing and starving on the street, he felt like his sky was falling. It turns out that there is so much suffering in the world. It is one, how many have not seen?Later..."

Zhang Yuejing told Zhou Zhi what Su Yonglin said to him when he was with Su Yonglin.
