The father of the sword is Kong Jie

Chapter 485 Hypocrisy and closeness to the people

(Regarding the financial system of the base area, book friends seem to have a lot of doubts. In fact, you have preconceived this financial system to fit the modern financial system, so your thinking is too complicated and too big.

The financial system of the base area I imagined is of course dominated by the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, which I should have mentioned in the article.

For example, from February [-] to June [-], the Eighth Route Army base areas stopped using legal currency and issued border currency of the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region Bank

Based on relatively large base areas such as Shanxi, Chahar, Hebei, Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia, border area currency is issued, which is commonly known as "border area ticket" by the masses.

In addition, the issuance of border area currency is very scientific. The border area currency is issued based on grain.

Therefore, the purchasing power of border currency is very stable, coupled with the credit of the Eighth Route Army troops in the hearts of the people, so it has won the support of the people.

After the independent regiment grows further in the base area, all it needs to do is to issue invoices in the border areas of the headquarters base area as the leading factor, and then further serve as a pioneer in pioneering.

Is there anything unreasonable about this?I'm dizzy...)
Having said that, it is impossible for a novel to fully fit the reality, but it is still necessary to pursue a logic. I try to find the G-spot in the way of Xing Shuang.

…………

…………

In the areas occupied by the Japanese army, the Japanese army and the Eighth Route Army relied on the county towns that mainly controlled the political power and the military on the one hand, and the base areas established by the mountainous areas or villages on the other. This started a protracted tug-of-war.

Qinghe Village, Changliu Village, and Upstream Village.

In fact, these three villages are not much different from ordinary Chinese villages.

If you have to find something different to come up with one, these villages are larger in scale and have a larger population, and they are more representative of the large surrounding villages.

In addition, these three villages are now at the center of the tug-of-war between the Japanese Army and the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army over the countryside.

Just like the two sides are in a tug-of-war, these three villages are the red rope used as a mark in the center of the rope used in the tug-of-war.

Therefore, in a short period of time, the two sides' control of Qinghe Village, Changliu Village, and Shangshang Village, which are located in the middle line of the tug-of-war, means that they can achieve phased victories and further oppress the opponent's territory.

On the side of the Independence Regiment, after Kong Jie issued the order to expand the base area and expand the area of ​​the guerrilla area, the soldiers actually had contact with the three villages of Qinghe Village, Shangliu Village, and Upstream Village.

After the advance propaganda cadres came into contact with the three villages, villagers with a sense of national righteousness expressed their support for the Eighth Route Army, and cooperated with the Eighth Route Army to secretly set up some militia organizations in the three villages.

Of course, since the current base area of ​​the independent regiment is still extremely limited, in order to ensure the safety of the villagers and protect the safety of the village, these three villages are still under the jurisdiction of the Japanese army on the surface.

For example, in the spring raids launched by the Japanese army not long ago, because these three villages have been performing well, there is no suspicion of secretly collaborating with the Eighth Route Army, and taxes and food have been paid as scheduled.

The Japanese army directly avoided these three villages, and then swept towards the area of ​​​​the Eighth Route Army base area.

Generally speaking, the three villages of Qinghe Village, Changliu Village and Shangshang Village are still relatively peaceful and peaceful.

Until this morning, the calm was broken by a loud noise.

Qinghe Village.

nine o'clock in the morning.

Someone rang a gong in Qinghe Village, and the sky-shattering sound slowly spread throughout the village, mixed with a somewhat domineering din:
"Folks, folks in Qinghe Village, listen carefully, the imperial army is coming to Qinghe Village soon, folks, please prepare immediately and gather at the rice field of the village.

Listen well, everyone, old people, children, men and women, must come, and those who work in the fields must come back.

The imperial army has something important to announce to everyone, but please rest assured, this time is a great event. The imperial army will come to condolences to our folks, and even send condolences to the folks! "

The owner of this voice is a puppet soldier with an ugly scar on his face, and his military rank is a lieutenant.

His name was Wang Erquan, and he was the captain of the food requisition team appointed by the Japanese army to be in charge of the Qinghe Village, Changliu Village, and Upstream Village.

This guy was tactful, double-sided, bullying and fearing hard, and unscrupulous. Because he was in charge of food collection, he could always hand over the military rations on time, so he was highly valued by the Japanese army.

As for Qinghe Village, Changliu Village, and Shangshang Village, this Wang Erquan is naturally notorious.

Every time when collecting food, this Wang Erquan is worthy of being a hard-core traitor of the devil. He spares no effort, coerces and lures, uses all kinds of means, uses whatever he thinks of, and sometimes even sends troops into the house to grab food, regardless of the specific set How much is the tax ration?

What's more, the tax set by the Japanese army on the villagers is already harsh enough, and it has already forced the villagers to live happily.

This Wang Erquan actually continued to use the public to seek personal gain, and then increased the villagers' taxes to fill their own pockets.

Therefore, in the eyes of the villagers, Wang Erquan was not only a traitor of a devil, but also a vampire in the village.

The common people can't wait to swallow their flesh and skin them alive.

However, due to the forceful suppression by the Japanese and puppet troops, he dared to be angry but dared not speak out.

At this time, Wang Erquan was beating the gong, with five or six traitors armed with guns behind him, and his voice gradually faded away.

A villager stopped him from picking up stones from behind Wang Erquan and other traitors, and wanted to throw them at the traitor's children. His face changed slightly and he stopped him: "Son, don't dare to do this, this Wang Ergou is a mad dog, but It doesn't matter if you're a doll or not."

An old man in his fifties beside him asked, "Da Liu, what are these traitors doing?"

The villager who took his own children replied, "Who knows what these traitors are up to? In short, as long as these traitors enter the village, nothing good will happen."

While speaking, the gong rang again. This time it was the old village chief of Qinghe Village who came over, and the old village chief's face was full of helplessness.

The old village head who heard the conversation between the two approached, and lowered his voice to persuade: "Da Liu, Lao Zhang, if there is something wrong, just scold or both in your heart.

This group of traitors are bullying others, can't we afford to provoke them or hide them?

Hurry up and go to the rice field to gather as soon as possible. After so many years, I can't hurt myself because of a momentary grievance. "

Faced with the advice of the old village chief, the old man didn't speak anymore. Da Liu was in his prime of life, and there was anger in his heart, which was hard to suppress.

"Village chief, these traitors are a bunch of vermin, they have sucked the blood of our village for so many years.

I heard that comrades from the Eighth Route Army also came to our village some time ago. It seems to be the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army. Are the pests exterminated? "

"Shh, keep your voice down, keep your voice down!" The old village head changed color after being bluffed, holding a gong and a copper hammer in his left hand, and pulling Da Liu with his right hand, walked to the hiding place, and said, "Da Liu , You are confused! A few days ago, some comrades from the Independence Regiment came to the village, and I talked with them in private."

"The base areas of our comrades in the Eighth Route Army are gradually expanding outwards, and we still can't control such a large area.

Our village is located near the ghost county. In this case, even if comrades from the Eight Routes come to wipe out these pests and traitors, the devils will come here in a blink of an eye. What shall we do then?What about the villagers?What about the village?You can't move the village to the base of the independent regiment, can you? "

"Isn't that causing trouble to Captain Kong? Besides, the village where we have lived for generations, how can the villagers want to leave? There are so many old people, women and children. If the little devil gets angry, the group of dead people will die." A good bastard would even massacre a village!"

Da Liu said helplessly, "Village Chief, what shall we do now?"

The old village head said: "It's still the old way, just do what you want, first stabilize the devils and puppet troops, and then you can talk about it. Commander Kong also means the same thing. This is a critical time, and we can't make a mistake."

Da Liu nodded, and worried again: "Village Chief, what's going on with Old Chen?"

The old village head said: "Don't worry, before the devils and puppet troops entered the village, we got the news in advance that Daliang and the militia team have all hid in the cellar."

Da Liu breathed a sigh of relief.

……

paddy field.

The rice field in Qinghe Village is not small, twice the size of a standard football field. It is a field where the villagers harvest rice and wheat every year and use it specially for threshing rice and drying wheat.

exactly ten in the morning.

After Wang Erquan and the other traitors were busy, all the villagers arrived with the beating of the gong.

Wang Erquan and other dog traitors changed their previous arrogant posture in front of the villagers, and now they are smiling, fawning and flattering in front of the dog owner Japanese soldiers, shaking their heads and tails.

The Japanese army came over this time with a small team, and at a glance, it looked like five No. 60 devils.

The leader was a Japanese second lieutenant, who seemed to express his kindness. When he stood in front of more than 500 villagers gathered, he kept grinning, trying to bend the corners of his mouth into an arc that represented a smile. .

But what he didn't know was that his self-confident and kind smile, coupled with the command knife he stuck on the ground, the bastard box pinned to his waist, and the military uniform representing the invaders and executioners, were very popular among the villagers. It seems that it looks more and more terrifying.

After all the staff arrived and Wang Erquan on the side maintained the peace of the venue, he said a few broken Japanese to the Japanese captain with a doggy face, and the ghost captain nodded and began to speak.

The translator brought by the Japanese army on the side translated loudly:

"Hi everyone, my name is Saburo Aoki, I got this name probably because there are two elder brothers above me.

In the yard of my hometown, there is another evergreen tree, so my father gave me this name.

Doesn't that sound interesting?
Most of our Japanese names have four characters, while your Chinese names often have only two characters. In fact, you should know that we Japanese have learned a lot of culture from your Tang Dynasty. There are many cultures that are also interlinked. "

Aoki Saburo spoke while gesticulating with his hands, all the while maintaining a smile.

"Please don't be afraid when you come here this time. We, the Great Japanese Empire, came to your China to build a common prosperity. In my country, the people have already lived a prosperous, stable, and happy life. As neighbors, we also hope that You Chinese can live like this, so we're here."

"It's just that during this period, many Chinese did not understand what our Imperial Japanese Army was doing, and there were some misunderstandings and unnecessary conflicts between the two sides."

"I hope these conflicts must not happen between us."

"The imperial army is very friendly to you. We will protect the stability of your village and prevent you from being harassed by Tuba roads and bandits."

"In addition, you can tell us the imperial army about the villagers in your village who have been bullied by someone. For example, if someone in the imperial army is doing bad things in your village, you can also tell us that the imperial army will make decisions for you. Please I must believe in the sincerity of the imperial army to everyone."

When Aoki Saburo said this, Wang Erquan at the side felt a little guilty, and his threatening eyes swept over some villagers.

Two of the villagers were whispering.

One said: "Father, do you think devils can really make decisions for us? Then Wang Ergou has always wanted to bully Xiaolian, if devils can really make decisions for us..."

Another voice full of vicissitudes said in a low voice: "Stupid, a traitor is a beast, and a devil is also a beast. If a beast wags its tail at you, if you treat it like it, it won't bite you?"

"Father has to find a solution to Xiaolian's matter, because he is afraid of a beast, he asks another beast for help, your father and I can't afford to lose this person."

……

Aoki Saburo in front of the rice field thought he was speaking in a soft voice and opened up his feelings to the villagers. He talked for a while, but the villagers kept their heads down and remained silent.

After thinking for a while, Saburo Aoki's eyes suddenly locked on a little girl who looked only four or five years old and was pulled by a woman in the front row.

Saburo Aoki smiled even brighter, holding a command knife in one hand, he strode towards the little girl.

The woman who was pulling the little girl immediately sensed Aoki Saburo's intentions, trembling with fright, quickly blocked the little girl behind her.

In order to please the officer, a devil soldier rushed over with a vicious face, pushed the woman away, and was about to snatch the child.

Saburo Aoki was furious immediately, and slapped the Japanese soldier who robbed the child, cursing in Japanese: "Baga, are you trying to destroy the image of the imperial army being friendly to the people?"

"Hi!" The devil soldier hurriedly withdrew his movement and responded.

Saburo Aoki turned his head again, squatted down, continued to laugh, and waved at the little girl hiding behind the woman, saying in some broken Chinese:

"Children, don't be afraid of yours. Uncle's is a good person. Come here. Uncle treats you to candy."...
