Chapter 53 Liaodong Corps Enterprising Liaoyang
Speaking of it, Su Yonglin also feels funny.
As far as he knows, due to the lack of copper in the Southern Song Dynasty, the currency was circulated, and the whole process of issuing money was actually a loss in the Southern Song Dynasty.
It may not be uncommon for the issuance of coins to lose money in this era of metal currency.
However, the developed economies in the Southern Song Dynasty and the powerful currencies circulating in dozens of countries and regions simply failed to bring any economic advantages to the home country, but they also faced deflation caused by the massive outflow of copper coins.
Later, the appearance of this kind of paper money seems to be the solution that the Song government came up with to solve the shortage of copper coins. Unfortunately, this kind of paper money needs to be backed by gold and government credibility, and it needs to follow certain market rules. The Southern Song government did not understand the economic god, but no matter how well it understood the economy, it could not escape external military attacks and political contradictions.
Economic problems are not easy to solve.
Su Yonglin had such a feeling and began to think about whether to reform metal currency or paper money in the future. This is a serious problem.
However, it is necessary to do business, and this cannot be sloppy.
The private salt trade began at the end of June, and only one month after the end of July, the salt companies in the border States brought Su Yonglin 2 million yuan in net profit, which was really cool.
With this income, Su Yonglin wouldn’t worry about the lack of money in the crusade against Liaodong, so he assured Lin Jingchun to pay Su Jue and Wei Kexian boldly and let Liaodong Corps, which had just finished training and consolidation, March boldly.
In this case, money can kill Yan Hong Yong.
Su Jue and Wei Kexian initially planned to capture Liaoyang Prefecture, but with the later intelligence, they recognized that they could capture not only Liaoyang Prefecture but also Linhuang Prefecture.
Linhuang House is the hometown of the Khitans. The capture of Linhuang House is conducive to appeasing the Khitans in the Guangfu Army and making them grateful to Su Yonglin.
Su Yonglin thought it was possible, and it was almost impossible for Wan Yanyong to heavily guard Linhuang House. For the Guangfu Army, it was to divide the troops to get the degree.
The main battlefields of both sides are bound to Liaoyang Prefecture.
Su Jue and Wei Kexian’s idea is that the strength of both sides has changed greatly in recent months. This time, we can give full play to the strength advantage of the Guangfu Army to completely crush the absolute advantage and capture Liaoyang Prefecture, which will make the remnants of Xu Jin completely desperate.
For the Jin army in Liaodong, which is already in an absolute weakness, the recovery of the army can make the transportation of grain stores with great advantages by sea reduce the pressure of logistics and realize the rapid attack and encirclement of Liaoyang Prefecture.
Moreover, according to intelligence, the so-called emperor Yan Hong Yong is now deployed in Liaoyang Prefecture, trying to stop the Guangfu Army from entering Liaodong. Both Su Jue and Wei Kexian feel the need to give him a head-on blow and let him recognize the reality.
Su Yonglin agrees with this.
After this strategic plan was finalized, Xin Qiji suggested to Su Yonglin that the Dading House in Beijing of Xu Jin Guo should also be attacked to remove the threat of Yanyun North Jin Jun in one fell swoop, so that the Guangfu Army could go east to Huanglong and subvert the old nest of Xu Jin Guo.
Xin Qiji gave his own thoughts about Su Yonglin’s concern.
"Training and indoctrination are important, but actual combat experience is also important. There are many different veterans of the samurai army and the Henan Corps of Liaodong Corps, and there are also many excellent instructors. If we don’t seize this opportunity to quickly wipe out Dading House and Liaoyang House, it will be very bad for us to let Wan Yanyong catch his breath."
After listening to Xin Qiji’s suggestion, Su Yonglin looked at the map again and thought for a while, which made Lin Jingchun calculate whether a grain purchase expenditure could maintain the samurai army’s dispatch.
After getting an accurate reply, Su Yonglin nodded and approved the battle plan.
So Liaodong Corps marched, and Su Yonglin made Xin Qiji and Su Yonghe lead 20,000 samurai troops to attack Dadingfu and raze the remnants of Yanyun North Jin Guo.
On July 11th, the samurai army sent troops to Dadingfu.
On July 13th, Liaodong Corps got an order to attack Linhuang and Liaoyang.
There is no difference between the war process and the pre-war deduction. The main battlefield of both sides is Liaoyang Prefecture.
Wan Yanyong has no extra troops to open up multiple battlefields with the Guangfu Army at the same time.
After the defeat of Youyu and Chongqing, Wan Yanyong lost his troops and lost his strength. Wuyan Puluhun suggested that he was forced to give up Dading Prefecture and Liaoyang Prefecture, which were facing the Huangfu Prefecture.
If Liaoyang Prefecture can stop the Guangfu Army, it is still possible to transfer more women from the rear to join the army. When the Guangfu Army launched its operations, the troops of Dading Prefecture and Linhuang Prefecture had been almost transferred by him.
After the defeat of Chongqing, Wan Yanyong and Wuyan Puluhun had no other way to go. They were able to send troops to Liaoyang Prefecture to defend the fortified city and send people to Huining Prefecture to raise more women to join the army.
Although Yan Hongliang destroyed Beijing, it should not be difficult for Huining Prefecture to return to its hometown and return to its hometown. At least there are hundreds of thousands of people living there. It should be possible to raise tens of thousands of troops to fight against the Guangfu Army and keep Liaodong.
They think so.
However, it is more difficult to recruit soldiers, especially after the news of Wan Yanyong’s defeat. Many people don’t believe that Wan Yanyong can succeed. They think that sooner or later, the more fierce the resistance of the Guangfu Army, the more fierce the slaughter of the Guangfu Army.
Better surrender than surrender.
Although Wan Yan Yong and Wu Yan Pu Lu Hun spread the "atrocities" of Yan Yun, the retrocession army, such propaganda not only aroused the hatred of the Jurchen people, but also produced some negative effects, which led to the birth of the capitulators.
Some Ministry officials believe that it is foolish to surrender voluntarily or get different treatment because the generals are desperate for the future of Xu Jin Guo. It is better to surrender if you continue to resist.
The copper coins of the Southern Song Dynasty accelerated the process of flowing into the North through this private salt trade.
