Zhang Mingde and Chang Xia listened to it, but their eyes lit up, because they remembered the names of the 16 landlords and 12 villages involved in the landlord alliance very clearly, and Wan Yufu was the most wanted criminal, how could he not remember. Before sending troops, the land reform committee also estimated that Wan Yufu might be hiding in Gaomi County, but he didn't expect that he was really there, and he almost let him slip through his hands, but in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Zhang Mingde asked again: "Is he the Wan Yufu from Beigoukou Village?"

Zheng Daiyuan hadn't spoken yet, but Wan Yufu's body was weak, and he suddenly collapsed on the ground. And Zhang Mingde and Chang Xia saw it, so they didn't need Zheng Daiyuan to answer again, they already knew the correct answer.

Zhang Mingde immediately ordered: "Arrest him." ”

Two fighters went over, one left and one right, to support Wan Yufu from the ground, and of course to control Wan Yufu. At this time, Wan Yufu also knew that he was in a catastrophe, so he couldn't say a word.

At this time, Zhang Mingde also realized that this group of people gathered in the county government just now, I am afraid it is not so simple, there must be something to hide from him, so he looked at Zheng Daiyuan and the others again, and Zheng Daiyuan also lowered his head and did not look at Zhang Mingde's eyes.

Zhang Mingde said: "Zheng Zhixian, it seems that you still have something to hide from us, what are you discussing just now, and tell me honestly." ”

Zheng Daiyuan's heart trembled, and he knelt on the ground with a "flutter knock", and said in a trembling voice: "The lower official should die, the lower official should die, and the lower official must be honest." In the past two days, Wan Yufu has continuously recruited people to put pressure on him, asking him to mobilize the people of the whole city, defend the county seat, and fight against overseas Chinese. Of course, in the end, he didn't forget to excuse himself, and said: "Head Zhang, this hall full of people can testify, but the lower officials have never promised them." ”

Zhang Mingde nodded, glanced at Wan Yufu, and was a little afraid in his heart, if Zheng Daiyuan really used Wan Yufu's suggestion, there would be trouble, not that the People's Army could not capture Gaomi County, or that it did not dare to attack the city, and this would inevitably cause a large number of casualties among the people, which was obviously detrimental to the reputation of the crossing group, and fortunately Zheng Daiyuan did not listen to Wan Yufu's advice. In addition, according to Zheng Daiyuan, the few landlords brought by Wan Yufu yesterday should be members of the landlords' alliance, it seems that there are still a lot of big fish in Gaomi County, but there is no need to panic, because now the entire Gaomi County is under the control of the People's Army, are you still afraid that they will fly out, now you should go to Wan Yufu's home in Gaomi County first, and see if you can find out any information.

Although the crossing group is from modern society, of course, they don't want to engage in the whole family, but this era has the particularity of this era, and it is impossible to completely copy the conventions of the old time and space, but a landlord like Wan Yufu who openly opposes the crossing group must not dispose of him alone, first, there must be accomplices in Wan Yufu's family, and they must all be caught, and there can be no fish that slip through the net; second, the Wan family is deeply rooted in the local area, intertwined, and quite powerful, so even other family members who are not guilty cannot let them remain in Gaomi County, but must move them to other places, completely severing all relations with Gaomi County。

However, Zhang Mingde didn't bother to ask Wan Yufu, but turned to Zheng Daiyuan and said, "Zheng Zhixian, do any of you know where Wan Yufu's home is? Find two people to show us the way." ”

Zheng Daiyuan hurriedly said: "I know, I know." "Hurriedly called two messengers to lead the way for the People's Army. So Zhang Mingde left a platoon of troops to guard the county office, took other soldiers, and escorted Wan Yufu out of the county office.

After they all left, Zheng Daiyuan also breathed a sigh of relief, and finally dealt with the overseas Chinese, but what his future would be was still unknown.

Wan Yufu's house is very close to the county government, in fact, the entire Gaomi County is not big, in the old time and space, it is a larger community, but Wan Yufu's house is much better than the county government in terms of scale and construction, and it can be used as the office location of the crossing group in Gaomi County.

There was no obstacle to the process of raiding Wanjia, after all, even Wan Yufu was arrested, and the others had nothing to resist, and the People's Army came a little suddenly, so Wan Yufu's family was not prepared at all, and it was too late to even commit suicide, so they were all arrested. Wan Yufu was kept alone in a room, and two soldiers were sent to keep an eye on him to prevent him from committing suicide.

Subsequently, under Wan Yufu's confession, Zhang Mingde assigned the People's Army to arrest seven landlords who participated in the landlords' alliance in Gaomi County, but in addition, there were no major incidents, and there was an announcement issued by the county magistrate that after the People's Army entered Gaomi County, it also strictly abided by military discipline, except for arresting and raiding the homes of those who participated in the landlords' alliance, there was basically no crime in the autumn, so there was no chaos, and the residents of Gaomi County accepted the result very calmly.

As a result, in one day, the People's Army stationed in all 12 villages participating in the landlords' alliance, arrested a total of 14 landlord members and their families, and seized their property. However, the family property and land they left behind were still seized.

On the second day, Wang Sheng and Gao Jun led the main members of the Land Reform Committee to Gaomi County, and they had been newly appointed by the Tianjin Executive Committee to set up the Jiaogaomo District Temporary Administrative Bureau, which was responsible for managing the administrative affairs of Jiaozhou, Gaomi, and Jimo counties. Originally, the Executive Committee considered that the current land reform work is mainly in the areas of the three counties of Jiaogaomo, and that the Land Reform Committee has basically taken over all the powers, and that the establishment of new administrative organs will overlap with the existing ones. Of course, at present, it is only stationed in Gaomi County.

After consultation, Wang Sheng and Gao Jun decided to temporarily set up four institutions in Gaomi County: civil affairs, finance, commerce, Public security, responsible for the management of the affairs of Gaomi County, the responsible persons of each agency are, of course, all the people who pass through the time, and the subordinate members are selected by the responsible people, that is, they can be selected from the local residents of Qingdao, or they can be selected from Gaomi County or the surrounding areas, and in principle, the officials of the original Qing court can be retained, but they need to be trained and strictly examined, not only need to pass the test, but also carry out strict supervision on them, so as to ensure that they do not bring the bad habits of Qing court officialdom to the new government.

The office is located in Wan Yufu's mansion, and the sign of the Jiaogaomo District Temporary Administration Office is hung out, because this mansion is one of the best houses in Gaomi County, not only has enough space, but also is not far from the county government, at least in a short time, it is indispensable to deal with the county government.

Of course, the composition of various institutions cannot be completed in a short period of time, Wang Sheng and Gao Jun first recruited officials from Gaomi County to carry out the handover of various tasks and materials, and at the same time announced that if the officials, officials, and errand officers of the county government are willing to work in the new government, they are completely welcome, but they need to be assessed and trained by the new government.

Clerks, The servants were a little tempted, because they were not official officials of the imperial court, and they had no loyalty to the Qing court, let alone who worked under them, as long as they could ensure their powerful position in Gaomi County, so they were quite interested in Wang Sheng's proposal, but Zheng Daiyuan and several officials in the county were quite embarrassed, although Zheng Daiyuan had already been mentally prepared to be an official under the hands of overseas Chinese, but he had to take the initiative to ask for and sign up with overseas Chinese, Zheng Daiyuan asked himself if he could do it, after all, Zheng Daiyuan had not forgotten the sage books he had read back then, and he still had a little face。

However, Zheng Daiyuan soon saw it, if he can't be an official, he can't do it, anyway, now it seems that overseas Chinese will not kill themselves. It is a very good result to be able to save his life, and he has saved some money in the past few years, so he went back to his hometown to buy a few acres of land, and it is not bad to be a landlord, but fortunately, his hometown is in Shanxi, and he is not afraid of overseas Chinese carrying out land reform there.

So Zheng Daiyuan said to Wang Sheng: "Now that the handover of the county government has been completed, and the nobles have taken over the county, the lower officials are useless people, and I only hope that the nobles can let the lower palace be dismissed and return to the hometown, and the lower officials are grateful." ”

Wang Sheng smiled and said: "Zheng Zhi County is in its prime, how can you be dismissed and return to your hometown, you are still your Gaomi Zhi County, and you don't have to move away from the county office." ”

When Zheng Daiyuan heard this, he couldn't help but be a little confused, what is this singing by overseas Chinese?

Wang Sheng said with a smile: "Zheng Zhixian is still in the county office, and the official documents of the imperial court are still handled according to the customary list, everything can be done as usual, the imperial court's money and grain taxes, as well as the expenses of the county government, etc., are all paid by us." ”

Zheng Daiyuan understands that the original overseas Chinese want to be an empty governor of the county, and the official documents of the imperial court, and the taxation of money and grain are all handled as usual, but the actual political, financial and military power of Gaomi County is all in the hands of overseas Chinese, and in this way, Gaomi County is still under the jurisdiction of the Qing court in name, and the overseas Chinese are not considered to attack the city and seize the territory of the Qing court, so that both sides have steps to go down. The magistrate is also there, and no one can say anything wrong with the official grain tax as usual, and for overseas Chinese, they have actually controlled Gaomi County, which is nothing more than spending some money to support the team of the county government, and on the surface, they can maintain normal relations with the Qing court. Thinking of this, Zheng Daiyuan couldn't help but sigh, overseas Chinese are really too shrewd.
