Xiaping is a small mountain village with only about 40 households, about 3.5 kilometers wide from east to west, and about 6.5 kilometers long from north to south. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

There is also a hill about 2 kilometers long and 1.5 kilometers wide in the south of the village, which is covered with pine forests and is lush and green, hence the name Songshan.

Because it is a depression in the reckless mountains, the streams flowing down the mountains on the east, south and west sides are criss-crossed, the streams are surrounded by green bamboos, the ancient trees are towering to the sky, and there are scattered hills full of wild grasses, wild flowers and various fruit trees on the flat ground.

There is very little arable land in the village, and it is difficult to feed the larger population.

There are a lot of gentle slopes of dense forests growing around, but no one has cultivated them for thousands of years, plus the south Lianciping, the west is connected to the two big towns of Ninggang County's new city and the ancient city, the north turns over the mountain and then walks thirty miles is the Yongxin county, the northeast side goes along the post road all the way forward, you can go to the prosperous Ji'an City, therefore, Xiaping has always been the transportation hub of bandits infested and officers and soldiers to suppress bandits, except for a small number of local aborigines and a few Hakka families who fled from other places, no one wants to live in this precarious place.

But in Zheng Yi's eyes, this place is definitely a treasure land of feng shui that can be used to plot in all directions and retreat, as long as it has enough manpower and material resources, as well as two years of investment, at least 1,000 acres of paddy fields and 1,000 acres of mountainous land can be reclaimed, plus measures such as collecting mountain goods, hunting and breeding, it can definitely feed nearly 10,000 people.

This is not blind optimism, but has a strong fact as a basis - this is the location of Jinggangshan City in Zheng Yi's memory!

To the east of the village is a small clear river, which stretches for hundreds of miles from south to north, flowing quietly, which encompasses the streams that converge from all directions, through valleys, around countless mountains, until it flows outside the city of Ji'an and into the Gan River.

In the northeast of Songshan, which stands alone, there is a small stone bridge connecting the quaint and simple small temple on the east bank of the river, which is called "Baigong Temple" by the villagers.

At this moment, Zheng Yi, a tall and deep-eyed instructor, stood on the high platform in front of the Baigong Temple, silently looking at the mountains and criss-crossing roads and streams on all sides, and the Baigong Temple behind him was full of soldiers, and two antennas of different heights and shapes had been erected on the high ridge behind the small temple, and people who were familiar with military life knew at a glance that this place had become the command center of this army.

Qin Shuming, deputy secretary of the Yongxin County Party Committee, who was standing beside Zheng Yi, was silent for a long time, and couldn't help but beg Zheng Yi again: "Give ten more households, just fifty households, I promise to send you another two hundred sturdy young people within ten days, okay?" ”

Zheng Yi withdrew his gaze from the Beishan Pass leading to Yongxin County, took out a pack of cigarettes and took out two cigarettes, one handed to Qin Shuming with a sad face, and the other one was on his lips, and asked a little strangely: "You tell me the truth, why is the deputy secretary of the county party committee reluctant to do it, and he has to join my tutor?" ”

Qin Shu knew that he couldn't say it, so he gritted his teeth and sighed in a low voice: "You just came, and you don't know that the people in our place are sinister......

"For hundreds of years, the Hakka people from outside and the natives have been fighting endlessly, hundreds of people, thousands of people have fought almost every year, mutual plots, mutual slashing has become commonplace, since ancient times to the present has never stopped, no one can unravel this hatred, alas!"

"I won't hide it from you now, do you remember the Ninggang County Party Secretary Long Qingyuan who I met in the ancient city three days ago? In fact, he was my immediate boss before, the secretary of the Yongxin County Party Committee, but the relationship between us was not harmonious...... Let's put it this way, he is a local, and almost all the cadres behind him are locals, and Yuan Wencai and I are forced to live in the mountains, all of whom are Hakkas, so you should understand now, right? ”

Zheng Yi finally came to his senses and looked at Qin Shuming with wide eyes: "What's going on between you and Long Qingyuan?" If the relationship is not harmonious, to what extent do contradictions accumulate? ”

Qin Shuming smiled bitterly: "There are many contradictions! At the end of June and the beginning of July this year, after the failure of the second Yongxin riot initiated by our Yongxin County Committee, Long Qingyuan and his two brothers-in-law fled to Jiupi Mountain to hide, and later saw that the Qingxiang Association composed of the Kuomintang county government, the security regiment, and the local tyrants and inferior gentry searched everywhere like mad dogs, and they fled to Jinggangshan of Yuan Wencai and Wang Zuo to avoid the limelight. ”

"And I, Liu Baoku, Li Caijuan, and other Hakka comrades, were ordered to stay and contain the enemy, and hid in Tibet for more than two months, and finally were betrayed by traitors."

"You know the rest of the matter, if you hadn't saved the lives of more than 100 of us, we would have moved our heads a long time ago, you not only saved us, gave us the care we never had, but also didn't dislike us, treat us like our own relatives, so we cried so sadly for more than 100 people."

"It is precisely because of this that we are not willing to leave you, and we are not willing to leave the instructor officers and soldiers who treat us like family."

Zheng Yi was silent again, he couldn't understand why Long Qingyuan became the secretary of the Ninggang County Party Committee again, and nodded slightly after a long time:

"I know, move all your families here, as many as you want, let's rebuild our homes together! As for you, Liu Baoku, and Li Caijuan, and a few cadres, I will propose to Commissar Mao for transfer, and transfer your organizational ties to the party committee of teachers and mentors that we are now establishing, as well as the more than 100 comrades under your leadership, all of whom will be transferred to military status. ”

Qin Shuming suddenly burst into tears, grabbed Zheng Yi's arm tightly, and wanted to say a word of thanks, but he couldn't spit out a word, and he couldn't stop the hot tears flowing.

Zheng Yi was sad for a while when he saw this, patted Qin Shuming's shoulder vigorously, and comforted: "Don't be like this, Lao Qin, you are a staunch Communist Party member, you are not afraid of death, what other difficulties can overwhelm you?" Cheer up, face this village with me, have a good discussion, and see where it is appropriate to build dozens of homes? On which hill do you need to build a barracks and fortified checkpoints? ”

"Then let's make a good estimate of how many paddy fields and mountains we can reclaim this winter. Which sections of the creek and which stream need to be trimmed so that they can be used for irrigation after the beginning of spring! ”

"So many troublesome things, I'm afraid you and Lao Han will have to lead the left-behind officers and soldiers, the division's subordinate departments and the teaching regiment that is about to be rebuilt, even if it costs twenty or thirty thousand oceans, we can afford it!"

"As for me, I may lead two main regiments out to fight at any time, so I can't take care of these things."

Qin Shuming wiped the tears from his face with his sleeve, nodded heavily and took the burden: "Don't worry, I will do it with all my might, besides, do you want me to go to Ciping?" Wang Zuo and Yuan Wencai, like me, are both Hakka people, and have fought side by side before, so they should be able to convince them with both comradeship and brotherhood. ”

"Nope! No! The more this time comes, the more we can't go, otherwise it will only intensify the contradictions. Tomorrow morning, you will leave here and go to the bottom of the mountain to pick up the recruits and families, and don't get involved in this matter, otherwise you will not be able to meet with Yuan Wencai and Wang Zuo in the future. ”

Zheng Yi thinks very carefully and is also very long-term.

Qin Shuming was very moved when he heard this: "Okay, I will take people down the mountain as soon as it dawns tomorrow morning, and strive to deal with all the hands and tails within ten days, and increase the number of recruits to five hundred." ”

"Okay, I'm Han Xin, the more soldiers the better. Remember to bring a few hundred oceans more before leaving, it is not easy for poor families to raise children, and they are all strong laborers in the family, we can't do things with a few slogans, we should be compensated or compensated, try to relieve the villagers' worries, and also let the recruits stay in the army with peace of mind. Zheng Yi carefully advised.

Qin Shuming sighed again: "I'm afraid that in all our teams, only this unit led by you is so humane...... Alas! I'm not going to leave the instructor again. ”

Zheng Yi laughed and gave Qin Shuming a punch lightly: "Just put this in your stomach, you must not say it, otherwise even I am afraid that I will make a mistake, remember?" ”

"Remember, you will never say it, you will do it."

Qin Shuming finally showed a bright smile. (To be continued.) )
