march to victory

Chapter 17 Standout

"Old man, please wait a moment." I am just a soldier and can't decide on such a big matter, so I quickly introduced to the old man: "This is my superior. If you have anything to do, you can tell him."

"Hello, old man, my name is Li Guowei, you can call me Xiao Li." Li Guowei has been unable to get in the mouth, now that he has the opportunity, he quickly introduces himself affectionately, and he doesn't forget to ask Qi Zixuan to translate.Seeing the old man nodding his head, Li Guowei was about to shake hands with the other party to get closer to each other, but the old man knelt in front of him, kowtowed and shouted: "I beg the master to make the decision..."

"Oops~! Old man, get up, get up, I don't dare to be such a great gift to you..." How dare the old man kneel down, and quickly help and persuade: "Old man, look, no matter how anxious you are, don't rush this moment, we Go to the fire pit, talk slowly while warming up the fire... Don't worry, our Red Army is the people's own team, no matter what you always have, the Red Army will definitely make decisions for you..."

The three finally persuaded the old man to get up and helped him to the fire pit. Li Guowei hurriedly offered cigarettes to the old man.

"Old man, if you have any grievances, just feel free to say it."

The old man is sixty-two, his surname is Xiang, and he has no big name. Because he is the third in his family, he is called Xiang Laosan. His home is located in the mountains more than ten miles west of Guitang Town. A small village of ten people, and the old man is the head of the village.

Yesterday morning, forty or fifty bandits came to Xiangjia Village.Because the population of the village is small and they are all poor at first glance, the bandits did not loot the village after entering the village. Instead, they surrounded the village first, and then asked the villagers to hand over 500 yuan in total. .

How could this small village raise so much money.I thought that the bandits would immediately kill people to build their prestige, but unexpectedly, the young people headed by the bandits just smiled and said nothing.However, these bandits lived in Xiang Laosan's house, and forced him to provide food and drink to him, but Xiang Laosan suffered a lot.Seeing the bandit leader faintly lusting after his eldest granddaughter, although he didn't know why he kept holding back without making a move, he felt that he couldn't continue to perfunctory, and with nowhere to ask, he had to take the last ray of hope and plucked up the courage to run to the The town hall called for help.

What happened next was so absurd that people were speechless.

Yesterday, Wang Weiqing held a big banquet to celebrate his father's birthday, and Xiang Laosan gave 18 yuan to the third son in order to let Wang Weiqing send troops to drive away the bandits as soon as possible.

Perhaps for the sake of the 18 yuan ocean, Wang Weiqing took the time to meet Xiang Laosan.Upon hearing this, he directly dismissed Xiang Laosan on the grounds of 'today is a holiday, no business talk, let's talk about it tomorrow'.

If Xiang Lao San left directly, at least he would not be arrested and imprisoned on the spot. The bad thing is that he chased Wang Weiqing for help in a shameless manner.The funny thing is, before Wang Weiqing could impatiently drive him away, what he revealed when he asked for help was overheard by a rich middle-aged man... This middle-aged man is called Tian Yinglong, and he is a sitter from Maoping Township in this county. He exploited the people inside his territory, but generally he would not rob directly, but outside the territory, he would directly evolve into a living bandit).

Tian Yinglong came to congratulate Wang Weiqing's father on his birthday. Naturally, he had to be just in case. The bandits who rushed into Xiangjia Village were his backup in case of accidents, and the leader was his eldest son Tian Dalong.

Not to mention anything else, just say that one gave 18 yuan and the other gave [-] yuan, so there is no need to say anything about Xiang Laosan's disposal.Fortunately, Wang Weiqing felt that it was his father's birthday that he could not kill anyone, so Xiang Lao San escaped and was rescued by the Red Army. Otherwise, he would definitely end up immortal and peeled off... This kind of thing only depends on strength Regardless of the facts and interests, the absurd fact that the defendant was able to force the parents and officials to arrest the plaintiff on the spot under the watchful eyes of the public really made people speechless and completely broke Xiang Lao San's heart.

Although he knew that the Red Army had saved him, in his heart he still had some distrust of the Red Army.It is conceivable that if it was not for the sake of the villagers, he had to rush for help, otherwise, he would have been eager to run away.The reason why local people are required to translate: firstly, local people have always been xenophobic; secondly, using local people to translate can serve as a guarantee; It doesn't work.

This kind of absurd thing made the hearts of several people angry.After Li Guowei said, "I'll report to the police, you two will take the old man to the prisoner to have a look." He got up with a sullen face and walked out. I went to look elsewhere, but I was disappointed that there was no such Tian Yinglong.

Soon, the company commander Zhang Guozhi came, and sent a platoon to Xiangjia Village to fight bandits with Xiang Laosan... Although Zhang Qingshan did not participate in this bandit suppression, I heard later that before the platoon of comrades arrived at Xiangjia Village... In Jiacun, the bandits had long since disappeared. What was surprising was that when they left, they did not loot Xiangjiacun as usual.

It was so common for bandits to enter the village that no one took it to heart. However, no one thought that this operation was just the beginning.

I don't know if it was the reason why Wang Weiqing was killed, which made the people firm in their affirmation of the Red Army and greatly stimulated their enthusiasm for supporting the Red Army.In the next few days, the local tyrants and evil gentry were beaten up, and the floating wealth was distributed. The common people actively reported and exposed, and led the way spontaneously, without the previous observation mentality; Powerful, no more incidents of beating to death on the spot; Posting slogans, organizing performances, not to mention adults, even children are happy to join...

The previous indifference suddenly turned into enthusiastic support, and this enthusiasm caused the entire Guitang town to be swept up in a wave of red revolution.The party committee researched and decided: In view of the fact that the revolutionary wave of Guitang Town is booming, in order to further consolidate the fruits of the revolutionary victory of Guitang Town, the original resolutions must be accelerated...

On the morning of March 1935, 3, that is, the fifth day after the Red Army came to Guitang Town, the Soviet Guitang Town Government was established: the enlightened gentleman Wang Yuhong was elected as the mayor, and Zhang Qinggui was the deputy mayor... The meeting specially praised Comrade Zhang Qingshan worked actively and achieved outstanding results.

Although Zhang Qingshan is just a small soldier, but because he is the only local among the Red Army soldiers, out of the need to mobilize the people with the greatest strength, he has become a "brick that needs to be moved wherever it needs to be", such as expanding red (conscription) Work.Originally, the common people were somewhat hesitant, but he stopped at the conscription office and told his story, which greatly dispelled everyone's worries.For example, during the publicity, the various deeds of foreigners are definitely not as acceptable as the locals' personal experience...

On March 3, the Guitang Town Militia Self-Defense Force was established, with a total of 29 people, divided into three squadrons.Luo Ping, the platoon leader of the three consecutive three platoons, served as the captain of the self-defense force, Li Guowei served as the captain of the second squadron, and Zhang Qingshan served as the deputy captain of the second squadron and the captain of the second squadron.
