Chapter 347 Steady Development
Seeing Xia Yuan coming, Li Qingming asked the Red Army soldiers to train on their own, and hurried over and said, "Platoon leader, I have something to ask you."

Xia Yuan asked: "What's the matter?"

Li Qingming said: "Platoon leader, it's like this. I've already negotiated with the peasant association about the uniform. Everyone's opinions are very unified. Our Red Army has done a lot for the common people, and the common people always feel that they owe us something. So when it comes to the military uniform fee, I will not give in no matter what. I insist that every household make two sets of military uniforms for us, and I don’t want money. I told my father about this matter, and my father and my mother criticized me. "

He smiled wryly and said: "My father and my mother have told each other, and if you mention this matter again, it will be as if I don't have this son."

With a smile on his face, Xia Yuan patted Li Qingming on the shoulder and said, "What does this mean? It means that the people have begun to accept our Red Army. This is a good thing."

He smiled and said: "We can't let everyone make clothes for us for nothing. In this way, you can find a few people, go to the county town to buy some beautiful cloth, and buy more. Let's distribute it to everyone. Since everyone wants to give it to us For making clothes, we can’t let you sell the cloth, let’s wrap it, and buy some more cloth, and then give it to everyone as a gift.”

Xia Yuan looked at the two of them and said, "This will not harm the interests of everyone, and our Red Army will not take a single needle from the masses."

Li Qingming's eyes lit up, he nodded and said, "Hey, this is a good idea, platoon leader, I'll let people go."

"By the way, about the calf and lamb?"

Seeing that Li Qingming was about to leave in a hurry, Xia Yuan pulled him again and hurriedly asked about the livestock.

"Platoon leader, I will ask Xiao Wu to go to the next village to see if there are any lambs and calves. The old scalper is a bit troublesome. Many old scalpers are in the hands of the landlord Laocai. It is not easy to buy. The landlord Laocai can To make money with this old scalper, he won't sell it." Li Qingming said.

Xia Yuan asked with some doubts: "The landlord Lao Cai can still make money with the old scalper?"

Li Qingming said: "Platoon leader, you don't know that this old scalper is a good farmer. He can rent the old scalper to the villagers and ask the old scalper to help him cultivate the land, and he can earn rent from the old scalper."

"If the old scalper is raised by the landlord, then such a renting relationship is actually more compliant." Xia Yuan rubbed his chin and said, "In this way, let's ignore the matter of the old scalper and settle the matter of the lamb and calf first. gone."

"it is good!"

Li Qingming turned and left, starting to deal with this matter.

Staring at Li Qingming's back for a while, until he disappeared, Xia Yuan turned his head and said: "Dasha, you see Brother Qingming is constantly growing, and he will definitely become a qualified Red Army cadre in the future! In the future you You have to work harder, it’s not easy to be a machine gunner, and when you become a qualified machine gunner, I’ll get you a better machine gun.”

"Hey!"

Sun Dasha smiled naively.

Seeing the development of Nianping Village gradually getting on the right track, Xia Yuan showed a gratified smile on his face. This is a process from scratch. Watching Nianping Village ruled by landlords develop into what he thought in his heart, This feeling is indescribable.

A few days later.

The landlord's compound, the development of the Red Army has basically taken shape, the scale of the platoon has grown to the scale of the company, Xia Yuan has also been promoted from a platoon leader to a company commander and political commissar, Li Qingming has become a deputy company commander and deputy political commissar, and Sun Dasha has become a company commander. For Xia Yuan's security guards, the original four shifts have been turned into three platoons, a cooking shift, and an additional purchasing shift, which is responsible for purchasing the supplies needed by the Red Army.

Li Qingming found Xia Yuan, "Company Commander, the cloth purchased from the county has been handed over to the farmers' association, and the farmers' association will distribute it to each household. In addition, the first batch of military uniforms is basically ready, and I will take someone to pick them up tomorrow, oh yes." Company Commander, you let the established quilt factory be established by the peasant association, in addition to giving support to our Red Army, the extra quilts and cotton clothes can also be sold in the county town, killing two birds with one stone!"

Li Qingming was very happy. Not long after that, Nianping Village has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Nianping Village, which is managed by the peasant association and supervised by the Red Army, presents a prosperous scene. The land is allocated to farmers, and everyone’s enthusiasm for farming is getting higher and higher. When the land was just allocated, everyone in Nianping Village usually Just staying in the field, looking at the land that belongs to me, is like dreaming.

The quilt factory established in the past two days has found a place for the women in the village to work. According to Xia Yuan's regulations, every time a piece of clothing is made, they can take part of the profit from the clothing they make as wages. The larger the quantity, the more they earn, and the women's enthusiasm for production has also increased a lot. In the future, the quilt factory will definitely become an important industry in Nianping Village.

"Company commander, the lamb and calf can also be delivered tomorrow, and I will take people to trade at that time."

Lambs and calves are also an important part of Xia Yuansuo's plan to develop animal husbandry in Nianping Village. It doesn't matter how much it costs.

"Okay, when the time comes, you will take a group of soldiers with you, so as to save you trouble." Xia Yuan thought for a while, and said, "Just to be on the safe side, you let the second squad follow at a distance."

Li Qingmin asked: "Company commander, is it necessary to be so cautious?"

Xia Yuan said: "We can't help but be so cautious. This amount of money is not a small amount. If we trade with them, we should be more prepared to make mistakes. If nothing happens, everyone will be happy. If there is an accident, the soldier we bring will be a very good one." Good guarantee."

He originally planned to deal with this matter, but considering that there are still many things to be done here, especially the decision-making on reform, during this period of time, the farmers' association meeting has been held continuously, and he is a little physically and mentally tired.

Xia Yuan really felt how difficult it is to establish a base area. It is not as simple as just pulling the team up the mountain, cutting down trees to build a house, and maintaining daily training.

Soldiers need to live and eat, but they can't always rely on the help of the masses. The team also needs to have its own source of income. Fighting local tyrants and landlords is certainly a way. Not only can they get enough silver dollars, but they can also expand the territory of the base area.

But now the development of Nianping Village has just started, rashly expanding the area will definitely attract the attention of the county lord.

There are Red Army activities in Zhougui, even before Xia Yuan crossed over, the original body had already joined the Red Army, but since the Red Army at this time was the target of the Jiang Group's encirclement and suppression, a little red flame just rose, and soon It was wiped out by the Chiang Group. The revolutionary team of the Red Army that I joined was only the size of a regiment. Most of the internal members were peasants. They were led by one or two members of our party to resist the oppression of the landlords. The literacy is uneven, and it is completely paving the way with blood.

But after the uprising, only six villages were liberated, and they were encircled and suppressed by the White Army. Nearly a thousand people in one regiment suffered heavy casualties. Wild vegetables, drinking dew, the days were hard, but that period was the time when the belief of the predecessor was the strongest.

He can personally experience that when recalling this memory, the blood all over his body is boiling and warm. It is these revolutionaries who were oppressed by the landlord since childhood, their father was beaten to death by the landlord, and their mother went crazy The predecessor brought hope.

It was also during that time that the predecessor followed the footsteps of the revolutionaries with unshakable belief and successfully joined our party. However, on the second day after joining the party, their traces were placed by the White Army in the The eyeliner in the countryside saw that in an instant, a huge number of white troops surrounded them.

Xia Yuan's memory still retains the scene of the real revolutionary before his death, "Don't let the flame of revolution go out."

It was the person who rescued the original body, who died later, and the white army encircled and suppressed the rest of them, and the rest of them were dispersed. He was beaten and kicked by the landlord's hooligans, and his predecessor became insane, and his belongings had long since disappeared, leaving only ragged clothes.

The time he traveled here was more than a year after that incident, and the spark here had already been extinguished. His arrival and the tasks arranged by the system can be regarded as inheriting the will of his predecessors.

"The red flame won't go out, it will only get hotter and hotter!"

Abandoning the bad memories in his mind, Xia Yuan's gaze became firm and unshakable. Only when he traveled to the original body, could he personally feel the unwavering belief and tenacious will, and understand Why such a group of people are not afraid of sacrifice.

The Red Army is composed of tens of thousands of poor people who suffered similarly to their predecessors.

The memory in his mind keeps warning Xia Yuan that the fruit of victory is at the end of this road, it depends on how you walk and how to pick it, any different road will be sprinkled with the blood of revolutionaries, dazzling The blood is the proof that warns the latecomers.

The previous revolutionary team urgently needed to be strengthened and enriched, so that they chose a more radical liberation in their choice. A large number of landlord classes were destroyed by them, which quickly attracted the attention of the county lord. Naturally, there is zero tolerance, and they were quickly encircled and suppressed. The wrong strategy caused the team to quickly disappear in the long river of history, and there are many such teams.

Xia Yuan kept the memories in his heart firmly in mind, and made serious considerations about venturing to the Soviet area and staying in the local area to establish a base area. With the bloody experience of the original body as a memory, the most important decision was to steadily develop the base area step by step.

It is necessary for the peasant association to hold meetings and brainstorm ideas. Only the masses know what they really need.

Safety is the top priority, and the fruit cannot fall into the hands of landlords and bullies again.

"In response to everyone's opinions, my idea is to establish a militia group and make spears as weapons. In addition, I will send a few well-trained Red Army soldiers as instructors to train everyone to train the militia group. The militia group belongs to An important part of the farmers' association, development is also crucial, I hope everyone can take it seriously, training and farming are the same, and a happy life is in your own hands."

Xia Yuan's proposal was unanimously approved by everyone.

The establishment of the militia was confirmed at this meeting. After all the development of Nianping Village is not as good as normal, the peasant association will expand to the outside world, and then the Red Army will start to dispatch, and the big landlords will divide the land.

Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

On the second day, Li Qingming confirmed the deal with the landlord of Laohe Township for several lambs and calves. The trading place was in Laohe Township. The soldiers followed far behind, responsible for ensuring the safety of a group of soldiers.

After a few days of training, the Red Army soldiers seemed to have changed their appearance, and their spirits and spirits had undergone earth-shaking changes. They waited for the arrival of the military uniforms and changed into military uniforms.

The present is a troubled time, and guns and ammunition must be carried. Li Qingming disguised himself as a landlord this time, wearing the clothes worn by the landlords of Nianping Village, and several Red Army soldiers disguised as his subordinates.

"When the company commander puts on the clothes of a landlord, he looks like a rich landlord."

When going to Laohe Village, the soldiers of the Red Army made jokes about Li Qingming. The Red Army advocated the equality of officers and soldiers, so in daily life, Xia Yuan and the others never showed an image of being an official, and fought with the soldiers. As close as brothers.

"I'm a landlord and Lao Cai, so what are you guys? You're just hooligans."

"Hahaha."

"Okay, let's be more serious. This is the first time we have gone out to perform a mission. The object of the transaction is still the landlords of Laohe Village. These landlords are not good people, and they are likely to cheat. In order to ensure this transaction To be able to proceed smoothly, our army also dispatched two squads of soldiers to ensure that this transaction can proceed safely and reliably."

Li Qingming restrained the smile on his face. In terms of life and work, everyone was still more careful in distinguishing between them. Once the smiles disappeared, the expressions of several soldiers became vigilant.

In the current troubled times, Lao Cai, a landlord, runs rampant in the countryside, and bandits are stationed on the mountain, and they often come down to bully men and women.This time they went to perform the mission, and they carried one or two hundred oceans with them, which was a lot of wealth, so they must be careful.

What Li Qingming thought in his heart: "In addition to trading lambs and calves, we also need to tentatively try to trade old scalpers. Buying and selling itself is a back-and-forth. It is the key point to test whether the other party will let go. In addition, there are other task arrangements."

Xia Yuan's explanation came to his mind, this time going to trade was not just a transaction, but also a tentative investigation of the old river village landlord, which was to pave the way for the Red Army and the farmers' association to enter Laohe village in the future.

For this mission, Li Qingming knew that it was a major challenge for him, and it was up to him whether he could complete it or not, and the company commander would highly affirm it.

Li Qingming cheered himself up in his heart.
