Chapter 341 Beat the Landlords and Divide the Grain

He raised his voice again: "The Red Army is an army where everyone is equal, everyone has the right to speak, everyone can speak freely, and I will make decisions for everyone!"

With Xia Yuan's support, the villagers also had confidence.

After a fierce ideological struggle yesterday, the old farmer shook off his son's palm and stood up and said: "A few days ago I was picking up wheat grains in the farmland. When they saw that I had picked up half a bag, they wanted to take away the grains. My family’s only food ration, in order to pay the land tax, I sold everything that could be sold at home, and it was not enough to buy food, so they beat me up.”

A young man with a cane stood up and said angrily: "The local hooligans bully men and women. My wife is often molested by them. If she dares to resist, she will be beaten severely. My legs were broken by them. The wives couldn't bear the humiliation and threw themselves into the well, they deserve to die!"

"I have something to report!"

"I have that too!"

One person took the lead, and immediately a group of people joined in. They were like the lightning that broke through the dark clouds. They told about the crimes committed by the landlord and his subordinates. As they talked, everyone became angry and surrounded the landlord. , one by one glared, the hatred in the eyes was overwhelming, as if a raging flame had been ignited, everyone was gnashing their teeth, wishing to pull out their bones!
The landlord and the housekeeper trembled and did not dare to make a sound. They had already lost their momentum, and they even anticipated what would greet them next.

They knelt on the ground, begging bitterly, looking very pitiful.

However, the more they were like this, the more angry they felt. They raised their fists high and waved them angrily.

"Don't let him go!"

"It must be severely punished!"

Xia Yuan already had the answer in his heart, he pressed his palms down, and the voices of the crowd gradually became quieter, he said: "To sum up, the landlord and his housekeeper have committed a heinous crime, and they even took several lives on their hands. What have we been talking about since ancient times, Tat for tat, murder for life, debt for money!"

When the landlord and the housekeeper heard this, they couldn't stop trembling, which was a burst of fear of the imminent death.

The butler knelt down on the ground, knocking his head heavily on the yellow ground, his hair was disheveled, he was very pitiful, his voice trembling: "Forgive me, he asked me to do it, I am just a butler, a servant, how dare you disobey the landlord?" Master's order."

The landlord looked at the butler with unbelievable eyes, his lips trembled and he couldn't speak, Xia Yuan didn't bother to talk nonsense to them, he touched the gun behind him, loaded the bullet, and said loudly:
"The landlord's family has committed many crimes, bullied men and women, and disregarded human life. After the organization decides, they will be shot and executed!"

When the gunshots rang out, the village women covered their still sore eyes to prevent them from seeing this cruel scene.

The two corpses fell limply on the ground, and the landlord's wife and concubine curled up beside them couldn't help screaming.

Xia Yuan shouted: "Take the corpse down and throw it to the back mountain!"

"it is good!"

The villagers of Nianping Village shouted in unison, the landlord’s family has existed in Nianping Village for decades, exploiting farmers, bullying men and women, causing the villagers of Nianping to live in poverty. Landlords are fighting. Landlords not only have people, money, but also guns. They only have hoes. Those who resist are killed by landlords and thrown on the back mountain. Now that landlords are executed, it can be said to be a great joy!
The landlord’s corpse was lying on the ground, Li Qingming spit on the landlord’s corpse, and the villagers rushed forward, kicking and kicking the landlord’s corpse. The landlord oppressed them for so long, every time Individuals naturally hated the landlord to the extreme, even if it was the landlord's corpse, they were unwilling to let it go.

After the villagers beat and kicked the landlord's body, Xia Yuan said to Mr. Li: "Mr. Li, stand up and seek justice."

Mr. Li nodded, stood up and said: "Everyone stop, he died in the underworld, there will be no good results, Daniel, you guys go and dispose of these corpses!"

"Hey."

Daniu is a tall, burly young man who looks very simple and honest. He greeted the young people around him to carry the corpse, and they were not afraid. Even when Daniel walked up to the landlord's corpse, he spit on the landlord's face. , Several people worked together to lift the body onto a cart, pulled it to the back mountain and threw it away. Such a person is not worthy of entering the land of Nianping Village, and should be fed to wolves, tigers and leopards.

Empty field.

The landlord was overthrown, and the villagers in Nianping Village had long-lost smiles on their faces. At this moment, they were full of affection for the Red Army that Xia Yuan said, and they were no longer the bandits and hooligans that the White Army called. The Red Army helped them drive them away. The removal of the landlords in the village relieved them of a huge pressure, but some people wondered if the landlords fell, would they become the new landlords and continue to oppress the people and exploit them? Now that the landlords are dead, the land should be What to do, their livelihood problem.

That's what Li Qingming thought. The landlord fell and the guns were in Xia Yuan's hands. Would he use these guns to coerce the villagers?

In fact, the villagers can think of it, Xia Yuan has already considered these things, and the next step is the top priority.

He said: "Folks, the next thing is the benefits that our Red Army has brought to everyone. The landlord took away the land and food that everyone depended on for survival. Today, we will return the food and land that the landlord took away! Our Red Army There is only one belief: the land belongs to the people, the people manage the land, and the people are the masters of their own country!"

Xia Yuan's words exploded among the villagers, even Mr. Li was in disbelief.

When Li Qingming was still thinking about how Xia Yuan would deal with them, he was stunned on the spot when he heard this sentence. He rubbed his ears with an unbelievable expression on his face.

Arguments erupted one after another.

Xia Yuan didn't talk nonsense, just threw the bags of grain on the car on the ground, and opened them for everyone to see: "These are the grains that the landlords robbed everyone. Starting today, how much grain the landlords robbed you, let's go to the landlords." Home, bring back the food!"

"It's true, it's real food!"

An old woman burst into tears with excitement. She carefully picked up the food in the bag, turned around and talked to the big guy excitedly.

The villagers all gathered around, seeing that it was the landlord who robbed them of their grain, they couldn't restrain their excitement, they raised their heads excitedly and asked if what Xia Yuan said just now was true?With Xia Yuan's affirmation, the villagers hugged their relatives excitedly, and they shouted happily:

"There's something to eat, there's something to eat."

"The Red Army is an army for the people!"

"Long live the Red Army!"

They discussed and shouted, and their voices gradually became unified. The villagers waved their fists excitedly and shouted 'Long live the Red Army'.

"Don't worry everyone, Mr. Li will count the amount of food paid by each family now, and I will personally distribute it to everyone!"

Next, we need Mr. Li to come forward. Mr. Li is highly respected in the village, and he basically knows a little bit about the big and small things in the village. With Mr. Li around, the statistics process went very smoothly, and every household reported the food they paid. .

The old farmer walked up to Mr. Li excitedly, and after reporting the amount of food in his family, he looked at Xia Yuan and said, "The Red Army is really an amazing army."

Xia Yuan smiled and said, "There are still many great things about him."

After half an hour of declaration, a form recording the grain tax paid by the villagers appeared, not to mention the grain tax paid in the past few years, the villagers just want to get back the share they paid this year, and everyone also Don't make a false report, just take your own share, they are all honest farmers, taking more will only make them feel uneasy.

"The Red Army pays attention to the equality of everyone, the government and the people. We are not oppressed and exploited by anyone. We only belong to ourselves. We are the masters of the land, and we are hardworking people!"

He said: "The Red Army is the people's army, and the soldiers in our army are the people's soldiers! We come from our fathers and villagers, and we will go to our fathers and villagers."

During the registration process, Xia Yuan was not idle either. While telling the masses about the policies of the Red Army, he encouraged and mobilized the masses.

He told his fathers and villagers about the scene of broken mountains and rivers and people living in dire straits. His voice was euphemistic but extremely moving. The stinky corpses are scattered all over the mountains and fields, the crows are round and round, the picture is miserable, and those who hear it are sad and weep.

The ideological work is done well, and the results are immediate.

Some villagers found Xia Yuan and wanted to send their children to the Red Army. They would be very relieved that their son would follow such an army for the people, and their son was going to do something really big. A great event that will really benefit farmers all over the world, they will be proud of their sons!

Mr. Li said: "Xia Yuan, you just agree, the children sincerely want to fight the enemy with you, liberate the oppressed and exploited villages, so that we will no longer be oppressed and exploited by landlords and bullies, and truly stand up. "

"We were born in such troubled times, and we were lucky enough to meet the Red Army. We already feel very lucky."

"They follow you to do a big thing, to save people like us, we support it!"

"As long as it doesn't bully the weak, we can rest assured!"

They led their children one by one, and stood in front of Xia Yuan, with a look of hope in their eyes, and that look moved Xia Yuan. They just saw hope, but they hadn't touched it yet, so they were eager to see it. I want others to see hope too.

Xia Yuan held the hand of an old woman and said solemnly: "Fathers and folks, please believe me, we are walking on a brand new, bright and hopeful road. This road will be full of ups and downs, but the Red Army is Not afraid of difficulties and obstacles, they can always face difficulties, overcome all difficulties, and bring seeds of hope to all farmers living under the oppression of landlords!"

The granary of the landlord's house was opened, and bags of grain were carried to the empty field. The villagers burst into tears when they saw the grain. They stroked the bags of grain. As long as they had these grains, they could live .

"Red Army, that's great."

They looked up at the sky, inexplicably feeling that the sun seemed to be clearer today.

The process of distributing food went very smoothly. The policies of the Red Army gave the villagers great encouragement. The distribution of food made the villagers have great feelings for the Red Army. The young people in the village also heard that the purpose of the Red Army is to establish a society where everyone is equal. , There is no exploitation, no oppression, and the peasants are the masters of their own country. They have a great interest in the Red Army and enthusiastically sign up to join the Red Army.

In just one morning, 43 young people joined the ranks of the Red Army, including Mr. Li's eldest son Li Qingming.

In the afternoon, another piece of news that caused a sensation in Nianping Village came out again.

The Red Army will divide the land fairly among households in the fields. From now on, the land will belong to them. From now on, they are the masters of the land.

After lunch, Mr. Li's house was surrounded layer by layer by the folks of Nianping Village. After receiving Mr. Li's confirmation, Nianping Village was like an earthquake. Unprecedented joy, they rushed to tell the good news to those villagers who had not received the news. It can be said that the villagers spent the whole day in an excited and happy mood, even in the New Year. Feeling.

Also from today, they get to know the Red Army again and know that the Red Army is a team for the people.

The young people who participated in the Red Army were full of pride. They stood with their heads held high in the empty field, waiting for dinner. The villagers gathered in the empty field, watching their children join the Red Army, with happy smiles on their faces.

Dinner was rice porridge boiled in a big black pot. Xia Yuan ordered the first head of the landlord's family to be killed to reward the soldiers who joined the Red Army.

"Li Qingming, you take people with you, and distribute some of the uncooked pork from house to house. No special treatment is allowed. Regardless of whether you are rich or poor, you must distribute it fairly!"

Li Qingming ran over and said happily, "Captain Xia, don't worry."

"and many more."

Xia Yuan stopped him again and said, "Don't call me the captain, call me the platoon leader, go and come back quickly, and I'll tell you some stories about the Red Army later."

"Hey."

Li Qingming left with two young men carrying the remaining half of pork, and they were going to deliver pork from door to door.

Located at the end of the village, surrounded by mountains on three sides, two earthen houses are built on the mountain. This is an old farmer's family. The exorbitant taxes in the past two years have made them empty out their wealth. When they enter the room, there is only one table and a few tables made of wood. A stool tied with a straw rope, and two simple beds.

There is no furniture in the room, it can be described as barren.

In the past, the old farmer's family was definitely sad, but it was different from today. Looking at the several bags of grain piled up in the room, the old farmer's family showed a long-lost smile on their faces.
