Chapter 271: The Rooster Crows in the Middle of the Night (First Update)
June 4, 1928, morning. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The instructors of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army held a 10,000-person trial meeting in the Dajiao field in the west of Tingzhou City, and the heavily guarded Fucheng was empty.
Residents from outside the city and from the surrounding towns poured into the campus of Chengxi University to listen to the 20 or 30 victims of the destruction of their families to account for their tragic experiences.
"The twenty acres of terraced fields at the foot of Qiukeng Mountain are obviously reclaimed by me in five years when I got up early and were greedy for darkness, but it was your Duan family, and I insisted that I dug up the dragon veins of your family, and then forcibly occupied the terraces...... Pity my old lady, she returned to heaven in a fit of anger! ”
"Those of us who work long hours get up every day when the chickens crow, go to work in the fields after breakfast, and don't go home until sunset in the afternoon. Who would have thought that your Mo family would come up with the idea of yin damage, take a candle to the chicken coop in the middle of the night and learn the rooster to crow, but those roosters heard the rooster crow, and when they saw the bright light, they crowed, and then the roosters in the whole town were crowing. Unfortunately, we had to get up again and work in the fields with our hoes, sometimes for two or three hours before dawn. ”
"Although the Mo family has done it in terms of time, they have given money, and the most hateful thing is the Chen family, relying on our wages. We, the workers, could not read a single big character, and were afraid that the Chen family would pay the bills, so we left a wooden strip next to the pillow to keep the account, and carved it on the wooden strip every day of work. Who would have thought that at the end of the year, the Chen family asked the family to search for all the wooden sticks and set them on fire, without evidence, and pity us for doing a year's work in vain. ”
"These three are all rich wolves who eat people and don't spit out bones! My younger sister worked as a maid in the Duan family to pay off her debts, and picked up half a rice ball left by the young master of the Duan family to eat and throw it into the pig trough, but was found by the housekeeper and brought to Master Duan, who asked her to use incense to poke her blind in one eye. Poor my sister, she couldn't stand this humiliation, so she committed suicide by throwing herself into a well that night, and was only sixteen years old when she died! ”
……
At first, the people were still shocked and indifferent, but with the accusations full of blood and tears, the people changed color in horror, and tens of thousands of people changed from pity and sympathy to public indignation, and turned into bitter hatred for these three bully landlords.
Countless people could not help shedding tears of grief when they thought of their own suffering, and soon under the leadership of the surrounding soldiers and local revolutionary activists, they raised their hands and shouted loudly, and slogans such as "Down with the local tyrants and inferior gentry" and "Give back my land" came and went, and the revolutionary sentiment of the masses of the people was quickly aroused.
Immediately afterwards, the two remaining local Communist Party members, who had been killed by the reactionaries, angrily took the stage and read out the various charges of the local tyrants and shoddy gentry.
"Kill him!"
"Kill him!"
In the earth-shattering roar, Zheng Yi, the instructor and teacher, stepped up to the high platform and pronounced the verdict on the 16 people who were the most angry among the people in the families of the three local tyrants and inferior gentry in the capital of Tingzhou, as well as the 43 people from the three major families, including the head of the Tingzhou Security Regiment, the deputy head of the regiment, the county magistrate, the deputy county magistrate, the chief of the finance section, the chief of the civil affairs section, and the chief of the police.
When the case was concluded, the officers and men of the first battalion of the guard regiment immediately escorted all the prisoners who were tied up in the middle of the school field and executed them on the spot!
In the end, more than 10 officers and soldiers of the guards brought in the land deeds, usury contracts, various account books, and IOUs as high as hundreds of thousands of oceans that were found from the homes of the three powerful people, and set them on fire in front of thousands of fathers and villagers.
The first decision is that within 10 days, 100 delegates from all walks of life will be elected by the people from all walks of life to negotiate the formation of a new Changting County revolutionary government together with the members of the Party Committee of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army Instructors.
The second decision: From now on, until the end of next year, all taxes for all people, merchants, and handicraftsmen in Changting County will be exempted, all exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes will be abolished, and the land of the three powerful landlords will be confiscated and distributed equally among the victimized people and the original tenants according to the proportion of the population.
The third decision: From now on, 3,000 recruits will be recruited from all villages and towns in the county, and all young people over the age of 16 and under the age of 25 can apply, and those who pass the physical examination will be able to join the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army instructors, and each young man who enlists in the army will be given a settling-in allowance of five oceans.
As soon as the three decisions were announced, they immediately aroused a strong response from the people in the audience.
Countless villagers who had worked hard and were precarious couldn't help but burst into tears, hugged their heads and cried, and more people let out earth-shattering cheers after a short period of consternation.
Twenty or thirty avenging victims could not help shouting "Long live the Communist Party," which immediately received a warm response from the surrounding people and more than 2,000 officers and men.
……
……
In the endless cheers, Zheng Yi and Wang Huchen, who were sitting on the high platform, looked at each other and smiled.
Long before the attack on Tingzhou, Zheng Yi, Wang Huchen, Zhang Yao, and the political commissars of the two regiments had already begun to plan intensively, and every strategy and action step had been repeatedly discussed and carefully scrutinized, and the final draft of the implementation plan was written on a thick 15-page paper.
After successfully occupying Tingzhou, Zhao Jingting led the second regiment to establish a perimeter defense, and Duan Xuan led the third regiment to maintain order in the city, and at the same time guarded the houses and relatives of the prisoners and the three powerful men and the military and political officials of the Kuomintang.
Zhang Yao, deputy chief of staff, led a 30-member political investigation team to search for the victims and the local party members who had been hidden, collected the crimes of the three powerful and powerful landlords, the landlords, the inferior gentry, and reactionary officials, and transferred 50 officers and men from the division headquarters and special service companies to take off their military uniforms and change into civilian clothes, and hid themselves among the masses to spy on the news, distinguish treacherous evil, lead the people's opinions, and inspire the people's hearts.
It was precisely because of the huge and meticulous implementation plan that Zheng Yi and the instructors and soldiers he led were able to create the "Tingzhou Miracle" in just three days, quickly win the hearts of the people, and lay a solid foundation for the establishment of the Tingzhou revolutionary base area.
At this moment, Zheng Yi has an unprecedented burden on his shoulders, and he is busier than ever, and the things that need to be handled by him personally at the moment include:
The task force led by Shangguan Yong escorted a large number of important supplies and was on their way to Tingzhou;
Yang Chisheng of Ganzhou again sent his adjutant, accompanied by two negotiators sent by Li Jishen, commander of the Cantonese army, to Yudu yesterday afternoon;
The situation in Tingzhou has just opened, and the establishment of a revolutionary government is imminent, so it is urgent to divide the fields and land, open warehouses and release grain, help orphans and widows, recruit new soldiers, and form a Red Guard brigade.
The Fourth Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army led by Commissar Mao and Commander Zhu once again occupied Suichuan County, at the foot of Jinggang Mountain, and was about to advance toward Xingguo and Ningdu......
Everything was waiting for Zheng Yi, but before the arrival of Shangguan Yong and the materials escorted by the task force, Zheng Yi could not get out and go to Ningdu at all, but fortunately, the Fifth Regiment of Huang Xingguo stationed in Ruijin was strong and strong, and there was no need to worry about the interruption of the connection between Tingzhou and the rear base area.
The people of Ruijin seem to have been accustomed to the days when the city head changed the banner of the king, and gradually accepted the presence of the communist army, and praised the strict military discipline and autumn innocence of the troops stationed in the instructor.
In addition, the current encirclement and suppression of several roads around the base area in southern Gan has just ended, and there is no threat within 200 miles of the surrounding area, and the political workers who teach the instructor can calmly carry out political propaganda and mobilization work in Ruijin and other places, waiting for the personnel appointed by the Jiangxi Provincial Province to establish a red regime.
After the trial meeting, the excited people were still reluctant to leave, and hundreds of people bypassed the pool of blood and corpses in the middle of the school yard, and poured under the high platform one after another, enthusiastically asking about the detailed rules for dividing the fields and land and the time for opening the warehouse and releasing grain.
