Zhao Kaishan is a large landlord in Yizhou, a traditional powerful man, and is very powerful locally.

He should have been an accomplice of the feudal rulers, but he encountered the Jin Kingdom, which had not yet been promoted to a feudal regime, and was extremely dissatisfied with the core interests of the Jin Kingdom's policies.

Over the years, Zhao Kaishan was invaded by Jurchens who moved south and seized a lot of land. He protested many times, but it was useless. Should it be occupied or occupied?

Unable to bear it, Zhao Kaishan decided to fight back at all costs, expel the Jin people and regain his own things.

When Su Yin returned to the mission, he passed by Yizhou. He happened to meet two people with sting eyes on a country trail and discussed telling the government that Zhao Kaishan was preparing for an uprising.

One of Su Yonglin's tasks to Su Yin was to find a hero who was interested in anti-Jin. Su Yin made a quick decision and led people to capture the two of them and gave them to Zhao Kaishan.

Zhao Kaishan was shocked and executed the two traitors and expressed his gratitude to Su Yin.

Su Yin informed Zhao Kaishan of his mission and Su Yonglin's hope. Zhao Kaishan was deeply surprised, but he was willing to have further contact with Su Yonglin.

After Su Yin returned, he told Su Yonglin about this.

When Su Yonglin learned about it, he was overjoyed and immediately sent Su Yin to take some gold and silver secrets to visit Zhao Kaishan, telling about his identity and experience of his private salt dealer, as well as his ambitions.

Although Zhao Kaishan thought from the bottom of his heart that Su Yonglin was a strange person, he had to shoot an arrow on the string. Su Yonglin had some money, which was the important help he urgently needed.

The two hit it off and decided to rebel together.

A year ago, Su Yonglin and Zhao Kaishan met on a boat at the sea. They fell in love with each other at first sight, and then they became a ally and became sworn brothers. The date was agreed that both of them would invest all their property in this uprising and fight to the death with the Jin people.

Now the agreed uprising time is very close. The last thing Su Yonglin wants to do in the Southern Song Dynasty is to kill Sun Yuanqi, and now this matter has been completed.

Before going to Lin'an to kill Sun Yuanqi, he asked Su Yin to contact Zhao Kaishan and informed Zhao Kaishan that they planned to land in the old Juzhou area, and asked him to arrange reliable people to help them transfer all supplies to a safe place.

A large amount of money, food, fodder and military equipment were all accumulated during the Su family's years of career as a private salt dealer.

The rebel army had just revolted, and its equipment would definitely not be too good. It needed to conquer cities and land, and to grab equipment from the Jin people to gradually become stronger, but it could not be prepared at all.

It is obviously not good to use bamboo to cut bamboo guns like Chen Sheng and Wu Guang to revolt.

Su Yonglin took out all the Su family's foundation and devoted himself to this uprising.

Once the departure preparations are all completed, all the Su family's belongings and people will take a boat to the north, meet with Zhao Kaishan and others, and then launch a massive uprising.

The Su family has abundant material and financial resources, but the main aspect of manpower depends on Zhao Kaishan and others.

This wave of Su Yonglin heading north, there will still be some people who will take away, but not many.

In addition to the core team of 317 people, Su's Private Salt Group also has more than 700 salt-making workers and families in the salt making factory, as well as two or three thousand peripheral part-time members responsible for front-line private salt sales.

The core team is basically elite thugs, and it is militarized management itself. It is the main reliance of the Su family to gain a foothold in the field of private salt sales, getting wages and benefits.

They are Su Yonglin's most direct confidants. Everyone can call out their names and they will definitely take them away.

The workers in the salt making workshop were secretly recruited by the Su family from refugees from all over the country - mainly because of the frequent peasant uprisings, and the refugees could not be eliminated, so the Su family recruited these refugees to work in the salt making workshop.

They have no household registration and are purely black households, and the government cannot find out even if they want to.

Su Yonglin is quite kind to them, they are also loyal to the Su family, and have received education. They are the spark in Su Yonglin's heart, so there is no problem taking it away.

Apart from this, the two or three thousand part-time members have no related benefits. They are temporary workers and have money for one vote.

They scattered their families and their families in various places, and they developed the offline development in the process of Su family selling private salt, and some even went offline.

They did not participate in the core action, but just waited for the salt to be made and got the salt on board, then transferred it to various places for sale, and finally got the profit back and shared the money with the Su family. They didn't have much contact with them in other matters.

Although they are all reliable because of the danger of selling private salt and will not reveal the traces of the core members of the Su family, it is still unrealistic to expect them to rebel northward.

Even if he has money to support these people, Su Yonglin doesn’t have the energy to teach these people political classes together.

The person who can really help Su Yonglin is the core team that has accepted his influence and has broken free from the spiritual shackles and the workers of the salt factory.

They will be the spark before the formation of the prairie fire.

They are indeed not qualified troops, but to this day, the brave and warlike Jurchen elite soldiers died, the old ones, the officials, and the local masters have long lost their sharpness.

The new generation of Jin army could not even effectively suppress the Southern Song Dynasty in terms of combat effectiveness.

Not to mention the signature army dominated by the Han people, even the Jurchen soldiers themselves were bad. This can be confirmed by the military intelligence that Su Yin spied.

In the 26th year of Shaoxing in the Song Dynasty, the first year of Jin Zhenglong, the year before yesterday, Su Yin spyed on a military exercise by the Jin soldiers while operating in Shandong.

At that time, the local generals of Jin summoned local Meng'an Moukehu to conduct military training, wanting to see how powerful they still have, but they ended up being a mess.

Seven out of ten Jurchen men who were called could not pull the hard bow, and most of them could fall down even if they were shaking on horseback. Dancing a knife and gun was also a fancy way.

Some people are so weak that they cannot wield heavy weapons at all, and their formations are messy and their steps cannot be unified. They squeeze in front and hit the front, making a mess, and they do not have the courage of their parents or ancestors at all.

The speed of corruption is really good.

To be precise, even the Song army was inferior to that of that year.

The Song army brought out by Zhao Kuangyin was completely abolished after signing a peace agreement with the Liao Kingdom, and Haolai persisted for forty or fifty years.

The Jin army was better, but it was in decline for more than 20 years.

Su Yonglin came to an accurate conclusion from this.

Except for the border troops set up in the northern and northwest border areas of the Jin Empire to defend against grassland cavalry and Western Xia army, there are basically no elite troops who can cause huge damage to the rebel army.

The corruption of the Jin army was of course good news for Su Yonglin, but there was better news.

After the peace talks between the Song and Jin Dynasties, the two sides did not fight for nearly twenty years. During this period, there was no elite army in the Song and Jin border to prepare for combat. The Southern Song Dynasty did not use its main force to defend against the Jin people, nor did the Jin Kingdom.

During this period, at least on the surface, the main energy of the Jin Kingdom was to deal with the Mongolian tribes and Tatar people in the north.

From the time of Wu Qimai, Emperor Taizong of Jin, the Mongolians on the northern grasslands were border troubles of the Jin Kingdom.

During the reign of Emperor Xizong of Jin, a group of Jin army generals who beat the Song army to the point of urination took turns to fight against the nomads on the grassland. They could not pacify their wars for years. Wanyan Zongbi, known as Jin Wushu, led 80,000 troops to fight north but failed to gain any advantage.

Now, like the real Central Plains dynasty, the Jin Kingdom is also facing the threat of the northern grasslands, and is very upset and irritable.

Their situation is absolutely not good, not as some people in the Southern Song Dynasty tried to fight the world invincible.

The Mongolian tribes were foreign troubles that they had never been able to resolve. The war between the Jin and the Mongols was not beautiful at all, and they were not as fierce as when they destroyed the Song Dynasty.

In Su Yonglin's view, the Jin Kingdom is an empty shell that is strong outside and does the middle. Class conflicts and national conflicts are intertwined, and the sparks of rebellion can be ignited everywhere.

The Southern Song Dynasty was much more difficult to deal with than the Jin Dynasty.

The Jin Kingdom had a strong army, but as long as it defeated its army, it would be over.

The Southern Song army did not seem to be powerful, but it was quite resilient. What's more important is that it was a long way from the time it was truly finished.

First fight the weak, then fight the difficult, gradually develop from weak to strong.

Su Yonglin's grand strategy has never changed.

On March 11, 28th, Shaoxing, Su Yonglin gave orders, ships gathered on Sujia Island in the northeast of Dinghai County began to carry a large amount of money, grain, and military equipment to Shandong.

The rebellion began.
