Chapter 559 Zhang Zhongyan wants to return

Su Yonglin ordered that all the captured prisoners be filled into the Liaodong Development Department as its subordinates, so that the Liaodong Development Department has considerable human resources.

Then, the soldiers of the Liaodong Corps were used as supervisors, and they were driven to repair houses, expand the city wall, repair roads, level the land, and lay the foundation for the immigrants to come.

At the beginning, the population captured was only about 70 to 80. After conquering Huining Mansion, more than 50 people were captured in this area. The master labor population is very large.

Because there was a surplus of people for work, the Liaodong Development Department simply arranged for the surplus manpower to reclaim wasteland and open up new land around the city.

The Development Division is trying to develop a wasteland into fertile arable land that can grow food, in order to expand the upper limit of the population carrying capacity.

This of course requires a lot of time and manpower investment. Generally, farmers need at least two to three years to complete the whole process of reclamation and reclaim the wasteland into fertile soil that can be planted.

The captives were used to reclaim the land in advance, and when the Han people who migrated over settled here, the land here has been reclaimed and can be planted.

This will greatly improve the agricultural production efficiency in Liaodong and reduce the up-front cost that Su Yonglin needs to invest in Liaodong.

During this period, apart from sporadic wars, the main theme in the occupied areas of the Restoration Army was to restore order, resume production, fill the stomach, and fill the granary.

On New Year's Eve, Su Yonglin and Zhao Xirui went to the military camp outside Zhongdu City to spend a comfortable year with the soldiers and celebrate the arrival of the New Year with them.

On New Year's Eve, all kinds of chicken, duck, and fish meat in the army can be made vigorously, as if all the meat that has not been eaten for a whole year will be stuffed into the soldiers' stomachs this night.

Meat is served in a pot, dishes are served in a pot, and wheat cakes and wheat rice are served in a tub.

The soldiers ate and drank, and also performed their own unique skills, causing real laughter and applause.

Zhao Xirui told Su Yonglin that she had never had such a lively festival.

At the beginning of the new year, Su Yonglin gave himself and everyone three days off. After the three-day vacation, he held a New Year's meeting of the General Affairs Bureau, and ordered to set up the tasks and goals of the liberation army regime in the new year.

It was at this time that the situation in Guanzhong became turbulent again.

The reason for the upheaval for a while is that at the beginning of the new year, Jin Fengxiang and Yin Zhang Zhongyan secretly sent someone to carry a secret letter out of Tongguan to contact the Henan Restoration Army and get in touch with the Henan Restoration Army.

After Zhang Yuejing learned about it, he quickly sent someone to send the news to Zhongdu, waiting for Su Yonglin's decision.

Therefore, Su Yonglin learned that Zhang Zhongyan was not optimistic about the future of the Jin Kingdom, and that, as a Han, he also wanted to return to the embrace of the Han regime and escape the restraint of the barbarians.

Therefore, although he does not have much military power, he still has a certain influence on the army of Fengxiang Road.

Due to the lack of troops, Tudan Hexi issued a large number of Han Chinese signing troops, and these people could be influenced by him, so as long as the Restoration Army was willing, he could lead the Han soldiers on Fengxiang Road to respond to the Restoration Army.

As long as the Restoration Army can break through Tong Pass and enter Guanzhong, then he will raise his troops on Fengxiang Road, coordinate with the Restoration Army's Guanzhong strategy, and attack the Jingzhaofu Chang'an City with the Restoration Army. Take it and end Jin's rule in Guanzhong.

After learning the news, Su Yonglin was overjoyed.

Previously, he spent his time collecting personal information of important officials in Guanzhong's military and government, and learned that Zhang Zhongyan had an extraordinary position and was a senior commander of the Guanzhong Jin Army, so he immediately held a secret military meeting to discuss the matter.

At the meeting, Su Yonglin showed Zhang Zhongyan's secret letter to the topographic map of Guanzhong.

He said that if Zhang Zhongyan could act in Fengxiang to support the Restoration Army, then the Restoration Army could quickly attack Chang'an with Zhang Zhongyan, and destroy the center of the Guanzhong Jin Army in the shortest possible time.

Once the Guanzhong Jin Army loses its unified command, it will inevitably panic and fight separately, and then it will be defeated by the Restoration Army.

Then the overall situation of Guanzhong has been decided, and the Restoration Army will unify the Central Plains and replace Jin Guo is just around the corner.

Regarding the grand strategy proposed by Su Yonglin, the Chief of Staff had no opinion, but Chief of Staff Zhongxin Qiji doubted Zhang Zhongyan's credibility.

"Zhang Zhongyan is an official of the state of Jin, and was also an official of the state of Song. He betrayed the state of Song, joined the state of Jin, and worked hard for the state of Jin. Is such a person really worthy of trust?"

Xin Qiji said slowly: "It will be sooner or later that our army will attack Guanzhong. As long as we are properly prepared, we will be able to attack Chang'an. Zhang Zhongyan may not be able to play a decisive role at that time. It's not the right thing to do."

Xin Qiji's opinion was approved by some of the staff members. They also felt that Zhang Zhongyan was a thief, what kind of credibility did he have?
Don't think this is the conspiracy of the Guanzhong Jin Army. Zhang Zhongyan is planning to sing a double reed with Tudan Hexi - Tudan Hexi is a famous general of the Jin country, and his record is very good, so it is inevitable.

It is not impossible for Xin Qiji and others to say that, holding Zhang Zhongyan's letter in his hand, Su Yonglin walked around in front of the map with his hands behind his back, walked for a while, and then stopped.

"In the current situation, it is a foregone conclusion that the Restoration Army will sweep the Central Plains, and the Guanzhong Jin Army is facing an unsolvable dead end. Apart from stubborn resistance, there is no other way to go. Under such circumstances, Zhang Zhongyan is not more likely. Are you in a bad mood?"

Xin Qiji opened his mouth and said: "That's the case, but the generals must be guarded against what they do."

"Of course it is right to be guarded. The heart of guarding against others is indispensable, but everyone, let's think about it from a different angle."

Su Yonglin held up the "Su Clan's Political Commentary" that had just been sent to the staff department, and slowly said, "Zhang Zhongyan is a native of Shaanxi, a local snake, and his family is a local big landlord, and the landlord class is well understood.

No matter who is the ruler, as long as he cooperates with him, shares power with him, and does not invade his land and power, then the ruler is a good ruler, and it does not matter loyalty.

Therefore, we can see that when the Song Kingdom came, he was a general of Song, and when the Kingdom of Jin came, he was a general of Jin, and he and his family were standing still. From this perspective, it can be seen that the people put their own interests and the interests of their families before the interests of the country. superior.

As long as it is in the interests of himself and his family, it is not impossible to sell the interests of the Jin Kingdom. Based on this, we can draw a basic judgment, that is, Zhang Zhongyan believes that our Liberation Army will sweep the Central Plains, and Guanzhong cannot escape from it. outside.

When the Jin Kingdom was on the verge of collapse, if he could not reach an agreement with the Restoration Army, the interests of himself and his family would inevitably be hit by our Restoration Army, and his family was likely to perish in military operations, which he would not tolerate.

From this point of view, we can confirm that Zhang Zhongyan's move is in line with his usual style of behavior and is not beyond common sense. Therefore, I think it is credible, what do you think? "

After listening to Su Yonglin's analysis, the staff members of the staff of all the Renaissance members nodded and agreed with Su Yonglin's explanation.

Thinking of this, Xin Qiji also felt that what Su Yonglin said was very reasonable.

Analyzing Zhang Zhongyan's family background and personal style from the perspective of class, it is easy to conclude that he is a person who puts personal interests and family interests above national interests.

Such a person making such a request for cooperation in this situation has a very high credibility.

Afterwards, the staff united their opinions and agreed that Zhang Zhongyan's suggestion was credible, and his request for cooperation with the Restoration Army could also be considered, and tactical design was carried out for this purpose.

Su Yonglin then ordered the Chief of Staff to start discussing tactics, preparing to discuss the military action of cooperation with Zhang Zhongyan to end the resistance of the Guanzhong Jin Army, and then ordered the Henan side to continue to contact Zhang Zhongyan, expressing the willingness of the Restoration Army to cooperate with him and safeguard his attitude.

So the staff department began to hold a tactical seminar to discuss the tactical methods for conquering Tongguan and later.

After negotiating for about three days, Su Yin, the commander of the intelligence organization [Skynet Army], came to visit Su Yonglin, and handed over the information of the lately arriving Skynet Army Eighth Action Group to Su Yonglin.
