Chapter 532 Liaodong Corps Enters Liaoyang
Speaking of which, Su Yonglin also found it funny.

As far as he knew, because the Southern Song Dynasty lacked copper, it was circulated as currency, so the Southern Song Dynasty actually lost money during the whole process of casting money and issuing it.

In the era of metal currency, it may not be a rare thing to issue money and lose money.

However, with the developed economy of the Southern Song Dynasty and the powerful currency that can be circulated in dozens of countries and regions, it has failed to bring any economic advantages to the mother country.

Therefore, the emergence of this kind of paper money seems to be the solution that the Song government thought of to solve the copper money shortage. Unfortunately, paper money needs to be endorsed by reserves and government reputation, and it needs to follow certain market rules. The great god who understands the economy, but no matter how much he understands the economy, he can't escape external military attacks and internal political conflicts.

Economic problems are not easy to solve.

Su Yonglin felt so emotional, and began to think about whether to use metal currency for reform or paper currency to carry out reform in the future. This is a serious question.

However, the business that should be done is still to be done, and this cannot be sloppy.

The private salt trade started at the end of June, and by the end of July, in just one month, the salt division teams in the border states brought Su Yonglin a net profit of [-] million yuan, which is really cool.

With this income, Su Yonglin didn't worry about the lack of money for the crusade against Liaodong, so he asked Lin Jingchun to provide Su Jue and Wei Kexian with food and wages, and let the Liaodong Corps, which had just finished training, march boldly.

In this case, Wanyan Yong could be killed with money.

The initial plan of Su Jue and Wei Kexian was just to capture Liaoyang Mansion, but with the collection of intelligence later, they thought that they could capture not only Liaoyang Mansion, but also Linhuang Mansion.

Linhuang Mansion is the hometown of the Khitan people, and capturing Linhuang Mansion will help appease the Khitan people in the Restoration Army and let them be grateful to Su Yonglin.

After thinking about it, Su Yonglin felt that it was possible, and it was almost impossible for Wanyan Yong to guard Linhuang Mansion with heavy troops.

The main battlefield of both sides must be in Liaoyang House.

The idea of ​​Su Jue and Wei Kexian is that the strength of both the enemy and the enemy has undergone tremendous changes in the past few months, so this time they can give full play to the strength of the Restoration Army, come to a complete crushing in strength, and use an absolute advantage to capture Liaoyang. The government made the remnants of the Jin Kingdom completely desperate.

For the Liaodong Jin Army, which is already at an absolute disadvantage, the Liberation Army can use the huge advantages of sea transportation to transport grain and fodder, reduce logistics costs and pressure, and achieve a rapid attack and encirclement of Liaoyang Prefecture.

Moreover, according to the information, the so-called emperor Wanyan Yong was now setting up defenses in Liaoyang Mansion, trying to block the pace of the Restoration Army from entering Liaodong in Liaoyang Mansion. Both Su Jue and Wei Kexian felt that they needed to give him a head-on attack and let him recognize the reality.

In this regard, Su Yonglin agrees.

After this strategic plan was finalized, Xin Qiji suggested to Su Yonglin that the Beijing Dadingfu of the Jin Kingdom should also be captured, in one fell swoop to relieve the threat of the Jin Army north of Yanyun, so that the Restoration Army could go all-out to attack Huanglong in the east and take the Jin Kingdom down. The old nest was subverted.

Regarding Su Yonglin's concerns, Xin Qiji gave his own thoughts.

"Training and education are important, but actual combat experience is also very important. The Huben Army and the Liaodong Army Corps are different from the Henan Army Corps. There are many veterans and a lot of excellent instructors. If Wanyan Yong catches his breath, it will be very detrimental to us."

After listening to Xin Qiji's suggestion, Su Yonglin looked at the map again, thought for a while, and then ordered Lin Jingchun to calculate whether the expenditure on food and fodder could sustain the dispatch of the Hu Ben army.

After getting an accurate reply, Su Yonglin nodded in approval of the battle plan.

So while the Liaodong Corps was marching, Su Yonglin ordered Xin Qiji to cooperate with Su Yong, and led [-] tigers to attack Dadingfu, smashing the remnants of the Jin Kingdom north of Yanyun.

On the [-]th day of the seventh month, the Hu Ben army sent troops to the Dingfu.

On July [-], the Liaodong Corps was ordered to advance and began to attack Linhuang and Liaoyang.

The process of the war is no different from the pre-war deductions. The main battlefield of both sides is in Liaoyang House.

Wanyan Yong did not have the extra troops to open up multiple battlefields with the Restoration Army at the same time.

Especially after the defeat of Yuguan, Wanyan Yong lost his troops and his generals were insufficient in combat power. Under the suggestion of Wuyan Puluhun, he was forced to abandon Dading and Linhuang, and fully reduced his troops to Liaoyang.

As long as the Restoration Army can be blocked at Liaoyang Mansion, there will still be time to mobilize more women from the rear to join the army, so when the Restoration Army launched its action, the troops of Dading Mansion and Linhuang Mansion had already been dispatched by him.

After the defeat of Yuguan, Wanyanyong and Wuyanpu Luhun had no other choice but to concentrate their forces on Liaoyang Prefecture, use the strong city defense of Liaoyang Prefecture to fight a defensive battle, and at the same time send people to Huining Prefecture to recruit more The female really came to join the army.

Although Wanyanliang destroyed Shangjing, the Huining mansion is still there, and the home of the Jurchens is still there. There are still tens of thousands of people living in the home. As long as they can act in time, they can raise tens of thousands of troops to fight against the recovery army and keep Liaodong Should not be difficult.

They think so.

However, the difficulty of recruiting troops is relatively high, especially after the news of Wanyanyong's defeat in the battle passed, many people did not believe that Wanyanyong could succeed. more violent slaughter by the army.

So it's better to surrender.

Although Wanyanyong and Wuyanpuluhun widely spread the "atrocities" of the Liberation Army in Yanyun, such propaganda not only stimulated the hatred of the Jurchen people, but also produced some negative effects, which led to the birth of the capitulation faction. .

Some internal officials and even generals felt hopeless about the future of Jin Guo, thinking that surrendering voluntarily might get different treatment, and continuing to resist would be foolish behavior, so it is better to surrender.

This was unexpected by Wanyan Yong and Wuyan Puluhun, and of course they could not tolerate such people in the team.

But before they could sort out their internal affairs and rectify their troops, the Restoration Army quickly launched an all-out attack, and the soldiers pointed directly at Liaoyang Mansion. Wanyanyong and Wuyanpu Luhun had to cheer up and go all out to fight the Restoration Army. A decisive battle of fate.

Because the troops were concentrated in Liaoyang Prefecture, Dading Prefecture and Linhuang Prefecture could only carry out symbolic resistance, and then the city, which was not tall, wide and deep, was breached.

The siege process went smoothly without any twists and turns. The Restoration Army broke through the city not long after it arrived, and then began to sweep the surrounding Jin Army remnant strongholds, looting all the Jurchens who were too late to evacuate.

The Liaoyang offensive and defensive battle was quite intense.

Wanyanyong and Wuyan Puluhun concentrated the main force of 3 people to defend here, repaired a large number of peripheral work, widened the moat, and raised the city wall, making Liaoyang Prefecture look like a war fortress.

If you want to enter the depths of Liaodong and attack Huining, the hometown of Jurchen, you must pass through Liaoyang. If you don't pull out this nail, you can't really conquer Liaodong.

Su Jue, who was well versed in this truth, decided to have a good fight with Jin Jun under the city of Liaoyang.

And he also has the idea of ​​​​training troops on the line of fire.

He also knew the news that Zhang Yuejing of the Henan Corps failed to attack Tongguan.

The internal evaluation of the Restoration Army was that the failure of this battle was due to the uneven quality of soldiers caused by the rapid expansion of the army, which led to a decline in the combat effectiveness of the army.

The solution given is to temporarily stop the march, strengthen training and education, and train recruits and descendants into strong Restoration Army soldiers as soon as possible.

However, Su Jue believed that the time was not for me. The current situation in Liaodong did not give the Liberation Army time to train leisurely. If the remnants of the Jin Kingdom were not conquered and destroyed as soon as possible in Liaodong, it was very likely that they would be revived, so he insisted on asking Su Yonglin to go to war.

Training can be practiced, the line of fire training.

Education can also be carried out, isn't the effect of education better on the battlefield?

Su Yonglin defied the public opinion and supported Su Jue's opinion. He took the lead in reorganizing the Liaodong Corps, and gave a considerable number of veterans and excellent instructor resources to help the Liaodong Corps form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

Feeling Su Yonglin's trust and expectation, of course Su Jue had to fight a beautiful victory.

In this battle, Su Yonglin gave him a lot of support. The firearms alone were given for two months. The amount was staggering.

If this is not good, the commander of the corps will not do it, just go home and farm.

This is a battle that cannot be lost.
