So it took four days for Su Yonglin and others to arrive safely at Zhaokaishan site on the outskirts of Linyi County.
Zhao Kaishan is a big local tyrant, rich in fertile land and tenants, and has accumulated a lot of wealth. If it is the Northern Song Dynasty, it is also worthy of the local government to win over the ruling class accomplices.
However, during this period, Zhao Kaishan of the State of Jin was forced to the opposite of the State of Jin because of the policy of Yan Hong Liang and the chaotic implementation of local officials, which is funny.
Of course, Su Yonglin welcomes all this. The fiercer the government is, the more friends they can win. The more friends they have, the more opponents they have.
Zhao Kaishan welcomed Su Yonglin to meet Su Yonglin at the gate of the farm outside the city in person. When they met, they were very affectionate. Zhao Kaishan’s brother Su Yonglin and Zhao Kaishan’s brother called each other brothers. The atmosphere was warm.
Zhao Kaishan zoned a piece of land for Su Yonglin to do. Su Yonglin brought more than 1,200 people to the station, and he really said that there was absolutely no problem in counting all expenses.
The rest of nature is a banquet.
Zhao Kaishan personally hosted a banquet and personally toasted Su Yonglin, so that his son and a bunch of relatives and friends could accompany him and highly praised Su Yonglin, which was quite friendly.
Have a good night
Early the next morning, Su Yonglin was invited to Zhao Kaishan’s home to discuss military affairs with several cronies and relatives of Zhao Kaishan.
There is a detailed topographic map of Shandong hanging in Zhao Kaishan’s room. Many mountains, rivers and roads are marked, which is of great benefit for marching and fighting.
"Dear brother, look, we are here, near Linyi County. This is Linyi County."
Zhao Kaishan pointed to the map circle and explained the surrounding terrain to Su Yonglin. This is a great help for Su Yonglin who is not familiar with the terrain in this area.
"Brother intends to develop after the event?"
Su Yonglin intends to listen to Zhao Kaishan’s uprising plan.
Zhao Kaishan looked at the map and was silent for a while.
"Shi Xiandi suggested that I also considered that we should have a plan, but the situation is that the enemy is strong and we are weak. We must consolidate ourselves before we can consider the future development. I think we should first capture Yizhou, Juzhou and Mizhou and then consider him according to the development basis."
Su Yonglin tilted his face and looked at Zhao Kaishan’s expression. When he saw his frowning expression, he didn’t relax his mouth at all, so he knew that he was upset.
"Brother, Shandong can’t attack and keep an eye. Shandong has no natural barrier of the Yellow River. Golden fighters can reach us in six or seven days from the south of Yanyun. Even if we have horses and cavalry, we can’t practice it in a day or two. We need to make plans early and take the initiative."
Su Yonglin said that Zhao Kaishan pursed his lips and looked at the map without saying a word.
Zhao Kaishan’s son Zhao Yucheng is ten years old and two years younger than Su Yonglin. He is cheerful and lively, and his style is quite high-profile, which means that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers.
"Uncle Yuting will have means to resist the rain. We haven’t got up yet, so it’s a little too early to think about it. Just as my father said, it’s not too late for us to make plans after we take the three States of Yi, Ju ‘an and Mi."
Zhao Yucheng’s words seemed to suit Zhao Kaishan’s taste, so Zhao Kaishan laughed.
"Good, good, my son has a point. Good brother, why don’t you stop thinking so much for the time being? You don’t have to take the roots of the three States first and then slowly map them. There must be a way."
Zhao Kaishan said that his cronies and a group of relatives and friends have repeatedly said that they think Zhao Kaishan and Zhao Yucheng have a point.
Su Yonglin then smiled.
"All right, let’s make a plan to capture the three States first."
"So good! Ha ha ha ha ha! "
Zhao Kaishan’s heart pressure suddenly disappeared and his smile was so carefree that the whole room was filled with a relaxed and happy atmosphere as if the uprising had been successful.
Near the end of the noon meeting
Tri-state strategy plan is not complicated. The rebels suddenly rise up and the government is bound to be unprepared. It is not difficult to take Tri-state.
There are nine counties in Yizhou, Ju ‘an and Mi ‘an. If the insurgents want to act quickly enough, they can get the foundation of the uprising and then discuss his affairs with confidence.
Zhao Kaishan recognized others in this way, and Su Yonglin did not object, but made an application.
"During the operation, brother, can you let my military forces attack the city and sweep the surrounding villages, and strangle the isolated county brother in Meng ‘an?"
Zhao Kaishan is thinking about who should be allowed to deal with the local masters in those villages, Meng’ an and Meng’ an.
That’s all true. The jurchen heard that it was very fierce, especially the town defense was a regular army. This is a thankless thing.
The most important place of wealth must be the city.
Take the city, the city, the gold warehouse and wealth will naturally belong to them. There is no oil and water in the countryside, and they are not rare.
Su Yonglin took the initiative to sweep the countryside. Zhao Kaishan was very happy and patted Su Yonglin on the shoulder.
"Good brother is willing to take such a heavy responsibility. I’m very glad to be good brother. You can rest assured that good brother has swept through Meng ‘an and made a contribution to breaking the city! There will be a reward after the job is done! "
"Thank you brother"
Su Yonglin smiled and saluted.
Chapter 14 Tenants have no choice
After the so-called military meeting was discussed, Zhao Kaishan took Su Yonglin to the military parade after lunch.
The so-called military parade is to look at Zhao Kaishan’s money and see how much strength Zhao Kaishan has to show off
Zhao Kaishan is the boss around Linyi County, a local local tyrant. A piece of land belongs to his family, and the Zhao family has been in his hands for the fifth generation.
It can be said that Fen IV Yu Lie has achieved the status of a local tyrant of Zhao family from an ordinary yeoman.
Zhao Kaishan owns a lot of land, and tenancy is indispensable.
"I did some statistics before, but I can stay here and attack about 4,000 people. It is not difficult for friends in Encryption State and Juzhou to gather together 10,000 people. My good brother also brought 1,000 people. This number must be more than 110,000. Is it a huge rebel?"
Zhao Kaishan was not proud to show Su Yonglin his strength.
That’s really strong
At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, landlords didn’t pay much tax. After the Song and Jin wars, the puppet Qi ruled the Central Plains, and of course they didn’t pay tax at that time.
The direct rule of the Central Plains by the post-Jin Dynasty was a simple small government, and the governance technology was rough, not to mention the compilation of books. These Han landlords would not pay taxes.
At most, a little token gift is given to the government to bribe some officials to do false accounting, which is easy and without pressure.
After years of not paying taxes, the number of local tyrants like Zhao’s is quite large and their strength is relatively strong. It is not a problem if the ministries unite to overthrow Xu Jin.
Of course, they can’t unite.
Jin Ting knows that his grass-roots strength is weak, and the effective rule of law strictly restricts the possession of weapons by Han people except the deterrent of force, and the control of iron is stricter.
Earlier, Han landlords still had a lot of weapons, but the weapons were consumed. If they were not properly maintained, they would rust. After living peacefully without fighting for more than ten years, the force level of Han landlords naturally declined.
This is why Zhao Kaishan asked Su Yonglin to get more iron weapons himself.
He lacked nothing but weapons, food, soldiers and base areas, and Su Yonglin brought a lot of equipment just what he needed.
Su Yonglin saw some peasant soldiers waving the weapons of the Southern Song Dynasty with his hands, which caused people around him to applaud.
There is a strong-looking Han who wields a knife, and there are also real elites in the Song army who can make the axe dance very beautiful.
The heavy axe army is an important soldier for Song Jun to counter the northern cavalry. It is said that Yue Fei had well-trained heavy axe troops to face the 8 Jin Army fighters and won a great victory.
Yes, there are also high-quality soldiers.
"It is indeed a huge deal with the nomads from the three States, which should be more than enough, so it is not difficult to take the three States in January with smooth action."
Su Yonglin nodded with a smile.
Zhao Kaishan should be careful that some people with mental arithmetic can’t root out the army. Once Zhao Kaishan suddenly and violently attacked Yizhou, the two counties will soon be rooted, and there will be no twists and turns.
Juzhou and Mizhou should be similar there.
Local local tyrants are naturally familiar with local affairs, especially government officials, who are always dealing with each other, and they are very clear about their personalities, courage and courage.
Zhao Kaishan didn’t doubt that he couldn’t take Yizhou.
