Crimson Dawn

Chapter 96

It was not easy to persuade the comrades to give up their sympathy for Zhang Youliang. Zhang Youliang was a landlord, and many comrades were born landlords.For them, Zhang Youliang is more like "one of their own".Talking about "people's revolution" in their mouths, even if it was Zhang Youliang's small trial, many people no longer swore to guard the people so much.

Although Lu Huitian no longer mentioned Zhang Youliang's issue, he never explicitly supported Zhang Youliang's life and death issue.Although other comrades also supported the cognition of solving Zhang Youliang, no one made it clear whether to kill or release Zhang Youliang.Chen Ke didn't want to say so much. For Chen Ke, once Zhang Youliang was left to the people to decide, Zhang Youliang must die.To put it bluntly, a mass movement is to mobilize the masses and arouse the anger of the masses.This works better than anything.The people also "distinguish between what they like and what they hate", and once they are emotionally excited, it is enough to kill them.Zhang Youliang must have done many bad things in Yuezhangji for so long.The best way is to find the victim, let the victim accuse Zhang Youliang, and execute Zhang Youliang "according to public opinion".

The only problem is that time is tight and these people are not easy to find.Now time is the crystal sand in the hourglass, every moment is precious.So Chen Ke simply stopped talking about this issue and began to assign other tasks.

Fengtai County is now overcrowded, and the surrounding landowners fled to the county to avoid the flood during the flood.And many people also fled to the county seat.Plus the people rescued by the insurance group and their families.The small Fengtai County has gathered as many as 4 to [-] people.After the flood began to recede, the emotions of the victims became more impetuous.It is also understandable that the county was besieged by the flood, and these people were always afraid that the water level would continue to rise, and even their last place of refuge would be swallowed up.The external environment was very oppressive, but everyone was able to gather under one banner.But after the flood receded, everyone thought differently.

The wealthy landlords felt that it was not reliable to go home, so they simply prepared to get up and go to the big cities.Landlords without money, or those whose property was ruthlessly devoured by the floods, had nowhere to go.As for ordinary people, they are even more homeless.The people in Anhui have the habit of fleeing famine, and many people tried to chat up the members of the insurance group's fleet, hoping to take them with them when the insurance group's fleet set sail.

After this flood, Manqing was unable to rescue the disaster at all.To be honest, at the level of an agricultural country, disaster relief is also a matter of doing our best.If it weren't for the efforts of the People's Party Insurance Group, many people would have died.

The expansion of the insurance group is closely related to the deepening of the flood.When recruiting people at the beginning, no one was interested.After all, everyone still has no interest in being a bandit.

When the grain brought by the farmers gradually ran out, more and more members asked to join the insurance group.Originally, as long as you belonged to a good family, you could join the insurance group. Later, the insurance group could even be picky to the extent that only the strong and strong were selected to join the insurance group.The immediate benefits of joining the insurance group are very large. First of all, I can have enough food.Second, the insurance group is also hiring people to do some work.After joining the insurance group, family members can get these job opportunities first.So in a very short period of time, the insurance group got a leap in number.

Shang Yuan, the county magistrate, always believed that Chen Ke was capable. After seeing Chen Ke's use of the power of the insurance group, he felt even more admirable and puzzled.The so-called "eating, drinking and lax", Chen Ke not only led the People's Party and the insurance group to arrange the people to eat and drink, but also paid more attention to the people's "laza".In several temporary camps in the county, an important goal of the "security team" composed of members of the insurance group is to order the people not to defecate indiscriminately.This is a matter that no one has ever paid attention to, but Chen Ke has strictly dealt with it from the very beginning.The reason is naturally very simple, defecating everywhere during this flood period is very likely to lead to the outbreak of the plague.The population density of the county seat has reached a dangerous level. If a plague breaks out, it will be devastating.The sanitation situation in the county is the responsibility of the insurance group.Later, the insurance group began to go out to transport food, and these tasks were handed over to other hired people.

There is a saying that "the top governs the sky, the bottom governs the land, and people can't control people's shit and fart." But the insurance group has such a broad management, which makes the people extremely dissatisfied.But cannibals are soft-spoken, and the rules of the insurance group are simple.Once you defecate anywhere and get caught once, the meal of the day will be halved immediately.Therefore, although the arrested people are extremely dissatisfied, they will be hungry very quickly.Everyone finally gave in.

In addition to requiring everyone to obey health regulations, the People's Party has also established more rules, from washing clothes to bathing. Fortunately, the flood happened in summer.The temperature is not low, and there is no shortage of water.In order to eat, everyone barely maintained their obedience.

However, these functions began to reach their limits as the flood receded.Some people have already pestered the insurance group to ask for food.It seems that he is going to leave Fengtai County to escape famine.People in Anhui have a tradition of fleeing famine, and this behavior can be understood by Chen Ke.But Chen Ke didn't want to accept it.Today, when the rush to plant and harvest is about to start, what kind of impact will it have after the people flee the famine?

Yuwen Badu didn't quite agree with Chen Ke's question, "Comrade Chen Ke, you think too much. In previous disaster years, after such a catastrophe, it would be a dead end for people without money to stay in the local area. Our insurance group doesn't Without any reputation, those people will definitely not believe us so quickly. Even if you forcefully pull those fleeing to our banner, you may not be able to unite with us. But those who did not leave, I think they will be more loyal. Without us , They have no way to farm the land at all.”

This statement is very good. After these people return to their hometowns, they have no ability to resume production at all.The first is the lack of farming tools, which will directly affect the efficiency of self-help production.People who escaped from floods instinctively carry valuables. Farm tools such as hoes may not be the most important wealth in the family.And there is no way to take some big farm tools away.Although the People's Party brought back some agricultural tools from other places, it was still far from enough compared to the tens of thousands of people.

Yu Wenba thought that letting go of a group of people to flee famine would help reduce material consumption.In the absence of tools, extra people are not a good thing.

"Wen Qing, are you really going to let everyone, men, women, old and young, fight together?" Shang Yuan was not too sure about Chen Ke's idea.

Chen Ke nodded, "That's right. I have this plan. I think we have to give everyone a choice. I don't think it's appropriate for people to flee famine now. The production and self-help will start immediately. Let those people wait Can't wait for a few days?"

"In this case, I will organize my comrades to explain this to the people." Shang Yuan replied.

"There is no need to organize comrades, we should explain this matter to the comrades of the insurance group first. If these comrades don't understand our policy, but tell the people first, wouldn't it be putting the cart before the horse?"

"..., then let the comrades of the Military Commission take charge of this matter. But what should we say to the common people. We can't let the comrades of the insurance group publicize this." Shang Yuan only paused at the beginning, and the next answer was without any emotion affected meaning.

"What I mean is to expand the size of the army. I think it is necessary to form some new troops. Borrowing the model of ancient military settlements, we form a reclamation army. Even if people go away, I still hope to keep as strong and strong as possible. And the strong If we can stay, the old and the weak will naturally not leave easily."

"Military station? Among the existing troops, how about bringing the three companies and four companies to the military station first?" Hua Xiongmao asked.He was a little worried about the burden on the families of officers and soldiers.

"My opinion is that the number of our troops is not too many, but too few. Looking at it now, we need to form a regular brigade of two regiments. The size is about 8000 people. And it is not only It is a new army, and the whole brigade will have to cultivate the land and fight at the same time. It must not only protect the base area, but also support itself.”

Now the insurance group has about 1000 people, which is a scale that no one has ever imagined.And an army of 8000 people is far beyond the imagination of comrades.Although many people at the meeting thought about the million-dollar army, in this kind of imagination, the million-dollar army is just a vague shadow, just a simple collection of people.In fact, the management of these 1000 people has already kept the comrades of the Military Commission busy.After the scale is expanded to eight times, can the existing management capabilities keep up?Comrades who have experience in leading the army all looked solemn.On the contrary, those comrades who had no experience in leading the army showed joy on their faces.

People are so strange, as long as you feel that you have enough people, many things will be completely different.

As Chen Ke talked about his views on the future, the attitudes of comrades in the party towards Zhang Youliang gradually became unified.Since killing Zhang Youliang was not for personal grievances, it was a political struggle.What's more, there may be a team of 8000 people in the future, and many people think that Zhang Youliang's life and death are no longer a problem.The focus of everyone's discussion was on the issue of how to arrange production and self-help after capturing Yuezhangji.

"You don't need to wait until later, start right now. Let Comrade Shang Yuan introduce this issue." Chen Ke pushed the issue to Shang Yuan, the county magistrate of Fengtai County who is in charge of self-rescue production.Shang Yuan has been in charge of contacting the landlords who have fled into the county these days. The attitude of the landlord Zhang Youliang may be tough, but the attitude of the landlords in the county is completely different.The landlords in China are not sufficiently class-conscious. They regard landlords as a profession rather than a class.Such an attitude determines that the first thing they want to guarantee is their own life, not the ideal of forever occupying the land.The manifestation of this attitude in the face of natural disasters is that those small landlords did not strongly oppose the transfer of temporary land cultivation rights.These small landowners also need to be able to get out of the state of having nothing as soon as possible. The flood is fair.The small landlords also have no surplus food.
