The steamer departed from Guangzhou and entered the Yangtze River by sea. Change boats to enter Chaohu Lake, and then change boats from the entrance of Chaohu Lake and go straight to Luzhou. In Wang Mingshan's plan, he wanted to take a good look at the book along the way. The plan is very good, but along the way, Wang Mingshan and other comrades have nothing to eat, sleep, and watch the scenery, and the rest of the time is to brag and play cards.

In the first few days, Wang Mingshan still felt a little profligate. A few days later, he simply "gave up the treatment" and left himself relaxed without doing anything. As a staff member of the Governor's Office, I am very busy with work on weekdays, as well as various study classes, lectures, and policy training. Now no one cares, not only Wang Mingshan himself is immersed in entertainment, but also the cadres on the same ship.

At the end of the ten-day trip, everyone suddenly found that they were about to arrive at their destination Luzhou and were ready to get nervous. At this time, everyone found that they were used to this lazy day, and they couldn't read it with a book.

This group of comrades basically participated in the southward march from Zhenjiang to Guangdong seven years ago, when there were no obstacles along the way, and with the addition of rectification, the troops still walked for more than two months. I didn't expect to be able to cover a longer distance in twelve days now. For the convenience of shipping, everyone is sincerely admired.

On the dock in Luzhou, Shen Xin and Lei Hu were waiting for Wang Mingshan and others. Even such a swift means of transport could not be compared to the swiftness of the telegraph. The Guangfu Army almost spared no expense in building a simple telegraph network, Wang Mingshan and they only set off for one day, and Shen Xin and others received the telegram.

Old classmates and old friends meet again, and the emotion is naturally indescribable. Wang Mingshan jumped up and punched Shen Xin a few times, and he shouted happily: "Shen Xin, finally meet again, I miss me!" ”

Shen Xin laughed and punched back twice, "At that time, you went to the Ministry of Finance, and I was worried that your temperament would make a big fuss in it." It's just that I'm thinking too much, and you're finally taking on the heavy responsibility! ”

Although Wang Mingshan was excited, he did not put his own thoughts above official duties at this time, and his comrades who came with him introduced Shen Xin, Lei Hu and other local cadres, and everyone shook hands, and Mandarin in the south and north sounded on the dock.

When entering Luzhou City, Shen Xin said: "Our side will arrange for everyone to close the door for three days, rest for one day, and then conduct three days of military training to adjust this state." ”

"Oh! That's a good idea! Wang Mingshan said happily, he was also very worried about his current tired state, and it would be a good thing to be able to train behind closed doors. For the ability of his old classmates, Wang Mingshan praised: "Shen Xin, how did you come up with this method?" ”

Shen Xin said with a smile: "After the troops of the two lakes were transferred back and forth like this, the state was in a mess. It is completely wrong to go to the local area to do work, and this is also a method that cannot be forced. ”

Hearing this, Wang Mingshan nodded again and again, "It turns out that I don't know where to be worse than you, but now the more I think about it, the more I understand how capable you are!" ”

Shen Xin smiled bitterly: "Don't say this." But he didn't go on.

After entering Luzhou City, the comrades went straight to the station. After walking for a while, Wang Mingshan couldn't help but ask, "Why can't you see the common people?" ”

Because the Governor of Wei Ze attaches great importance to urban construction, the Governor's Mansion naturally attaches great importance to urban construction. Of course, you don't know what a magnificent city Governor Wei Ze has seen, but you have always seen it with your own eyes. The civil servants who ate the imperial grain, and the personnel of enterprises and institutions soon occupied a numerical advantage in the cities, and relying solely on the population advantage formed by the cities themselves, the power of the Governor's Office increased rapidly.

But the situation in Luzhou looks too weird, and in other cities, a large number of people have poured into the city, causing a shortage of urban housing and expanding residential areas. And Wang Mingshan saw that there were still a large number of vacant houses in Luzhou City.

"Alas! After the Hunan army conquered Luzhou, they almost killed all the people in Luzhou. Shen Xin sighed and said.

"Slaughtering the city?" Wang Mingshan was dumbfounded. Of course, he had also heard rumors about the slaughter of the city, but when he really saw that there were few ordinary people in a city, Wang Mingshan was still frightened.

After one day of rest and three days of military training, the personnel who arrived in Luzhou finally recovered to a basic state. The news of the communication has also been communicated at this time, and the rest is to discuss how to promote Anhui's next work.

Wang Mingshan already knew that the Hunan army had carried out a massacre in Anhui, not only the city of Luzhou, but also Luzhou in Huainan, Anqing, Lu'an, Shouzhou and other places, as long as the Hunan army went, the people in the city were basically killed. The cities of southern Anhui were also slaughtered, and they were almost killed.

Shen Xin also checked the situation of Wang Mingshan's family when he was in Anqing, and the news he got was that the Wang family seemed to have been robbed fiercely, and there was no one in the entire mansion. Whether the people of the Wang family were killed or had fled from the city is uncertain. Knowing that his home had been so ravaged, Wang Mingshan was boiling with a passion for revenge. If it weren't for Shen Xin's obstruction, Wang Mingshan would even want to ask for leave to go to Anqing.

So at the land reform meeting, Wang Mingshan completely implemented Wei Ze's meaning, and he said viciously: "There is nothing to say about those big landlords, kill them." ”

"Isn't it a bit too much to kill?" Some comrades also felt that it was inappropriate.

Wang Mingshan said loudly with an extremely tough attitude: "Did these people collude with the Hunan army? Did these people collude with the Huai Army? It doesn't matter what they pretend to be now. If they can collude once, they will definitely collude a second time. If you don't kill them all now, what are you doing with them? ”

Everyone is also not very clear about the attitude towards the regimental training with the big landlords and those who have had contact with the Huai Army and the Hunan Army. Wei Ze's Huai River defense line is completely different from the Huai River defense line of the Taiping Army. The Taiping army only occupied the section between Shouzhou and Hongze Lake, and the troops of the Guangfu Army really marched eastward along the Huai River, completely occupying the entire south bank of the Huai River. At this time, the troops were simply non-stop crusades to the east and west, expanding their territory, where would they have time to determine how to deal with the landlords in Huainan.

Now Wang Mingshan's attitude is fierce and demanding that all the big landlords be killed, and for a time no comrades can raise opposing opinions.

Shen Xin finally spoke, "Isn't it too much to kill them all?" After all, many of their relatives are not involved in these things. ”

Wang Mingshan immediately began to refute Shen Xinlai, "How can you not participate?" Some of those big landlords have defected to our Liberation Army? Or did someone defect to the Taiping Army? Why don't they join our side? Why did they immediately rise up and respond after the Hunan army and the Huai army arrived? Do you need to talk about the problems in this too much? ”

Shen Xin frowned slightly, and did not seem to approve of the mention with Wang Mingshan. However, Wang Mingshan's heart was full of passion at this time, and he firmly believed that without the support of the local big landowners, the Hunan army would not have been able to capture Huainan so easily. If the Hunan army failed to capture Huainan and Anqing, then Wang Mingshan's family was afraid that they would not have died. So Wang Mingshan insisted on his logic, "The big landlords are the staunchest supporters of the Huai Army and the Hunan Army, so the big landlords must die!" ”

The simpler the logic, the easier it is to be understood, and the simpler the logic, the more powerful the explanations for many things. The big landlord is bad, so he has to kill. Such a logic can be used to explain a myriad of specific things. Moreover, the Guangfu Army had been away from Huainan for too long and was not familiar with the local situation.

"It's not that simple." Shen Xin was still trying to convince his comrades.

"So what's complicated with that? If we want land reform, we will get all the land in our hands, and we will not solve the words of the big landlords. If we want the small and medium-sized landlords to obey our orders, then we have to kill the big landlords. When we implemented land reform in Guangdong, wasn't the first thing to solve was the thirteen lines? Isn't it the local big landlords who will solve it first? Large landlords in Guangdong sell big tobacco in Guangdong. The big landlords of Huainan colluded with the Manchus in Huainan and killed the people. They are all the same! Wang Mingshan said with a tough attitude.

"I don't think it's right to deal with it that way. If it were only for that purpose, we wouldn't have to kill people at all! Shen Xin tried to explain.

"Killed so many people in Guangdong, why are we going to release people when we get to Anhui? Do you think the governor made a mistake at that time? Wang Mingshan immediately retorted.

These words made Shen Xin immediately frown, but he really couldn't refute Wang Mingshan immediately. After all, Wei Ze quickly carried out the killing in Guangdong, in fact, everyone knows that although the Thirteen Lines and the big landlords are involved in the big tobacco business, Wei Ze has long decided to kill them because of the land reform issue, and in the end he just found a reason to sell big tobacco as a reason to kill these people. If the gang hadn't been selling cigarettes, Weeser would have found another high-sounding reason to execute them.

Therefore, Wang Mingshan's attitude made Shen Xin very helpless. In fact, Wang Mingshan, like Wei Ze, first decided to kill and who he wanted to kill, and then found an excuse for his killing. In Shen Xin's opinion, Wang Mingshan's killing attitude was much worse than Wei Ze's. The reason for Weeser's killing was not a personal vendetta, but was entirely based on practical interests. Without the implementation of land reform, the Liberation Army will not be able to stand in Guangdong. The reason for Wang Mingshan's killing was that he was based on personal impulse, and he couldn't help but burst out with murderous intent after his blood was in his head.

However, it would be too bad for Wang Mingshan to publicly accuse Wang Mingshan like this, and this accusation is not aimed at work, but at a person's personality and personality. This kind of thing is not something that can be said lightly.

Just when Shen Xin was trying to find a better reason to dissuade Wang Mingshan, Lei Hu opened his mouth, "Kill!" Kill! This battle has finally stopped, can't you let everyone save a little bit first? Let's not talk about that for now, let's talk about something more important. Comrade Wang Mingshan, you are from the Central Committee, what is going on in this Chinese Dynasty? Tell us about it first. ”

With Lei Hu coming out to help play the round, Shen Xin is sincerely grateful. He also didn't want to fall out with his good friends, let alone with the comrades sent by Wei Ze to supervise the land reform work in Huainan. Any kind of falling out is torture for Shen Xin. R1058
