Once a war occurs, in addition to the army, the people must also be prepared.

During the war, no one can stay out of it, so in the countryside, instructors also began to frequently tell the farmers about the dangers and inevitability of the upcoming war in literacy classes during labor, so that everyone can prepare for the worst.

What is the worst preparation?

Perhaps the army was wiped out, General Su died heroically, and those who followed him in Shandong and Hebei were slaughtered by the Jin army.

Blood flows into a river and corpses accumulate like mountains.

The farmers felt that this situation was unlikely to happen because they trusted Su Yonglin very much and felt that Su Yonglin was the strongest general in the world.

The instructors do not think so. They are more rational and feel that anything is possible on the battlefield.

"Su Shuai is good at fighting, but no one can tell what will happen on the battlefield. When that time comes, you will try your best to escape. The army will buy you time in front, and our instructors will also send the news back as soon as possible.

Once you learn that the front line is not good, don’t hesitate. You should immediately run south with your family and run as far as you can. Don’t stay where you are. Don’t feel that your hometown is hard to leave, so you are unwilling to leave. You have to leave. If you don’t leave, the Jin soldiers will kill many people when they come.

Of course, you can rest assured that the Restoration Army will not fail so easily. Su Shuai will try his best to defeat the Jin army. Even if his strength is not good, he will definitely protect you and prevent you from being hurt before all members of the Restoration Army die in battle."

This made the farmers' eyes red. While they were worried, some emotionally rich people burst into tears on the spot.

They saw how General Su of the Restoration Army treated them.

Whether life is good or not is the most intuitive thing, and it is for everyone to show it.

People's hearts are full of flesh. General Manager Su treats them as humans, making them really feel like they are humans. How can they do things that are worse than pigs and dogs?

Many farmers stepped forward on the spot and held the instructor's hand and began to express their thoughts.

"Instructor, our place is shared by General Su, our house is distributed by General Su, our farm tools and cattle sold by General Su, and our family is sold by General Su, and we don't make any money. The eyes of our family are of many people, because General Su can only recognize words, so we should not be blind if we open our eyes!

When helping the army, General Su is in charge of food. He has money to pay, but he has no money to give white slips. He can also get taxes. He is as much as he says, and he is not a fool. The army does not disturb the people through the border. He also helps us clean and work. We have lived for so many years and have never seen such a soldier!

Mr. Su really doesn't lie to us. He treats us as human beings, and speaks to us with all our hearts and hearts, and has done everything we can, so that we can not be hungry. He also has to take us over the best people and give us a better life.

Who doesn’t like such a life? But we also know that only General Manager Su can give us such a life. If the Jin thief comes back, we will have such a life? Hey! People’s hearts are full of flesh. Such a big kindness, a life is really not a problem.

Instructor, just say, how many people do General Su want to help him fight the golden thieves? I dare not say anything about other villages. In our village’s self-defense force, including the old and young men in a village, there are about 200 people who can use swords and guns. The General Suktor gave the order, we can be killed."

The old farmers held the instructor's hand with calloused hands. On the sun-tanned yellow wrinkled skin, their eyes were particularly shining, with sincerity and determination.

This scene surprised the instructors, and then their hearts became hot, realizing that the world Su Yonglin described to them was gradually taking shape.

These once confused farmers have woken up.

They woke up and they were no longer confused. They knew what they should live for and what they could do. They had other things to do besides facing the loess and facing the sky.

Su Yonglin was very happy. He saw the awakening of the people and the huge power that burst out after the people were educated and organized.

In the past, they just had not been educated or organized. Once they were educated and organized, they would burst out with extremely powerful forces and could not be completely eliminated by a powerful army.

This is the true heart of the people.

It can be seen and touched, and the people's hearts are truly without any moisture.

They know when they should fight, who they want to help, and what they should stand on.

Taking a deep breath, Su Yonglin put down the report of the instructor from Yucheng County, Jinan Prefecture in his hand, rubbed his eyes, and suddenly felt extremely relieved.

This education fund was not spent in vain. This money that could be used to expand the army at least twice, and he did not spend it in vain.

He asked the Food and Pay Department to spend more than the education funds directly given to the peasant associations in each village. The amount of this money is not small. In order to literacy and help the production and construction of the new countryside, the cost needs to be pointed out is quite large.

Pen, ink, paper and inkstone are indispensable. In some places, production has been severely damaged. In order to restore production, meal subsidies are also required. In some places, people are not interested in literacy, so they have to use small prizes to attract them to learn to recognize words.

He used all kinds of means to call on the people to learn to recognize words, carry out literacy actions, and vigorously eliminate illiteracy in rural areas.

When his foundation was still not stable, he helped them recognize words word by word, helped them open their eyes to see the world, and had their own consciousness.

Because he knew this was very important. Before overthrowing the Jin Kingdom, he could not have any stable foundation. The foundation did not appear for no reason, especially his rebellion of nature, which had to be built by himself.

If you suffer a little harder, you will be more nervous. If you eliminate an illiterate person, your foundation will be more stable. Every successful construction of a new countryside will make his foundation grow a little more.

This thought and expenditure are really not in vain. At this moment, Su Yonglin saw the reward.

The best reward in the world.

Wanyan Liang, what you have to face is not only my army of more than 200,000, but also two million people who have awakened or are awakening. Although you are powerful, I have two million people who have built up a backer for me.

Can you push me down?

In the future, the number of awakened people will continue to increase, three million, four million, five million, eight million, ten million...

When they awaken one after another, get rid of the shackles of ignorance, transcend the boundaries of the past and realize a new life, what else can stop them from going further?

Su Yonglin faced the north and felt that his dream was walking towards this side step by step.

In order to make the dream really come true, Su Yonglin knew that this upcoming decisive battle with the Jin Kingdom cannot be lost, and he cannot lose no matter what. He must win even if he tries his best.

In late August, Su Yonglin combined information from all parties and felt that the Khitans' defeat was right in front of him. Once the Khitans were defeated and could not continue to threaten the Jin Dynasty's Zhongdu, Wanyan Liang would definitely immediately start going south to deal with him.

With his various blows and plunders to Wanyan Liang during this period, Wanyan Liang has already hated him extremely and is almost impossible to continue to endure it.

So time is tight and time is too late. Su Yonglin immediately convened a full military meeting and announced the beginning of the implementation of the strategy of strengthening the wall and clearing the field.

The so-called solid walls and clearing the fields means snatching away all people and materials in a certain area, and not leaving any manpower and material resources to use for the enemy.

The area where Su Yonglin decided to implement the tactic of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields was the entire Hebei area that he could control.

Let us do our best to turn the land of Hebei into a white land that cannot obtain any military supplies, so that the Jin army cannot obtain any effective supplies, and lengthen the Jin army's supply line.

It's hard to do this.

Strong walls and clear wilderness are definitely not just four words.

If these four words were so easy to do, there would not be so many failed defensive cases in Chinese history.

It takes time to strengthen the walls and clear the country, a large amount of manpower and control over the grassroots, a strong mobilization and the trust of the people, and the noble prestige of the leaders themselves.

Most regimes do not have this point.

And just so happened that Su Yonglin had it all.

With his strong prestige and excellent credit, he has accumulated a very good reputation among the people.

Although this reputation is usually invisible and intangible, it seems that it does not exist, once an emergency occurs, this good reputation has the huge power to turn the situation around.

It's like the thoughts expressed by those old farmers.

If something really happens, Su Yonglin said, for them, fighting for life is not something that cannot be done, as long as Su Yonglin needs it.

This is an important prerequisite for strengthening the walls and clearing the fields.
