Chapter 63: The Day the Flag Is Raised!
The busy and joyful autumn harvest has finally arrived, for some people in Yongan County and Haifeng County, the autumn harvest of the thirteenth year of Wanli is even more extraordinary, their expressions are faintly excited, stepping up the autumn harvest, waiting for the arrival of the last time.
Even the big landlords who found some clues temporarily put aside the investigation of mud legs during the autumn harvest time and concentrated on the autumn harvest.
In the midst of the busyness, the crops were quickly harvested, and each village united by the People's Army would send one or two people to converge towards the mountains, and finally they came to Hutou Village, where the current headquarters of the People's Army is located.
Not only representatives of outside villages came, but also representatives of Hu Zhuang, Zhou Lei, Wang Mu, He Yan, Ding Wei, Chen Kang, Gu Zhaizhu, Wang Dazhu, and ......, as well as representatives of the army, management, and research departments of the People's Army.
On the first day of September, in the farmland where Hutou Village had been harvested and cleared, a "high platform" had been erected, and representatives of various departments of the People's Army gathered under the stage.
Condescendingly, Fang Nan took everyone's expressions into his eyes, there was excitement, fanaticism, and joy, everyone had waited for a day for too long, and this day was finally coming!
"Brothers and sisters, comrades, hello everyone, I am the leader of the People's Army, Fang Nan, everyone is gathered here today, we all have a common goal - to overthrow the Ming Dynasty.
I am a mountain people, a common people who are not accepted by the Ming Dynasty, my grandparents still live in the outside world, or the common people under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, but under the continuous oppression of the government and landlords, my grandparents can no longer live, they can only escape into the mountains with other ordinary people who are oppressed by the government and landlords, struggling to survive.
Since I was a child, I have seen too many life and death, there is no doctor in the mountains, no medicine, sick, I can only endure it by myself, I may be able to get better from the disease, but more often the pain has been tormenting, and finally the person is swallowed by the disease little by little.
In the mountains, we are very lucky to have enough to eat, and many more mountain people live a hungry and full life, wearing tattered clothes, living in thatched huts that leak rain and wind, and occasionally bandits come to bully us.
Life in the mountains is so unbearable, and so is life outside the mountains.
The land was 'snatched' by the landlord's big households, and they could only rely on renting the landlord's land to make a living, and every autumn harvest, most of the grain in the field was taken away by the landlord, and then part of it was taken away by the government to pay various taxes, and the remaining grain in the hands was simply not enough for the family to eat for a year.
Digging wild vegetables, digging tree roots, and working for large landlords...... Every day from morning to night, I finally get food that can barely fill my stomach, this is still in the case of a good year, if the year is not good, starvation is a common thing, in order to survive, but also to sell children, and how many parents are willing to sell their children to large families as cattle and horses, and endure the pain of separation of flesh and blood.
That's our blood, that's our meat, the big landlords lie on us to drink blood and eat meat, we are squeezed dry little by little, but the big landlords eat one by one with round stomachs, we die, our children and grandchildren are still oppressed by the big landlords, and the children and grandchildren cannot escape from this confinement.
Are you willing to continue to be oppressed and exploited by the landlords? Do you want your children and grandchildren to be oppressed and exploited by landlords and landlords? ”
"I don't want to! Unwillingly! People from outside the mountains shouted in unison.
"I don't want to live in this deep mountain, I don't want my children and grandchildren to live in this deep mountain, do you want to?"
"I don't want to! Unwillingly! The mountain people chanted in unison.
"Yes, we don't want to, we are born as human beings, why can they live a life of fine clothes and food, but we can only eat bran vegetables, why can they bully the poor people at will, and we can only bear it silently.
We want to live a good life, we want to be free from oppression, but the landlords and the government don't want to see us live a good life, because once we live a good life, they have no one to oppress at will.
I can't stand it, we can't stand it, there are thousands of poor people in the whole world, and the people who oppress the poor people are less than one percent of us, and we can knock them all down with one punch.
So I established the People's Army, the People's Army is the people's army, it is the army of thousands of poor people in the whole world, and the People's Army is willing to lead thousands of poor people in the whole world to defeat the landlords and old wealth, overthrow the Ming Dynasty, and live a good life together! ”
Zhou Lei: "Down with the landlord Lao Cai!" Overthrow the Ming Dynasty! Long live the KPA! Long live the Grand Governor! ”
Crowd: "Down with the landlord and old wealth!" Overthrow the Ming Dynasty! Long live the KPA! Long live the Grand Governor! ”
"Down with the landlord and the old wealth! Overthrow the Ming Dynasty! Long live the KPA!! Long live the Grand Governor!! ”
The shouts were repeated over and over again, and at this moment, the shouts of the people resounded in the sky! The face is full of fanaticism!
Fang Nan's speech was very simple, but it was these simple words that made the people in the audience who had never seen Fang Nan's side identify with Fang Nan, and in Fang Nan's words, they saw themselves and saw themselves struggling to survive under the oppression of the landlord and the government.
No one wants to be oppressed by the landlord and the government all the time, and they don't want their children and grandchildren to be oppressed by the landlord and the government.
Now that the People's Army has appeared, everyone sees the hope of reaching the old wealth of the landlords, and the hope of overthrowing the Ming Dynasty, the People's Army is still very weak and cannot confront the entire Ming Dynasty and the landlord class, but as long as the poor people in the whole world support the People's Army, the People's Army will have the strength to fight against the Ming Dynasty and the landlord class.
After a long time, the shouting finally stopped, and the frenzy on everyone's faces had not faded.
"I know that our enemy is strong, so we have been preparing, we have been accumulating strength, and in eight years of preparation, we have built up a powerful army of more than 10,000 people.
Of course, we still want to continue to accumulate strength in the dark, but our strength can no longer be completely hidden, and it may be discovered by the enemy at any time, we can't wait for the enemy to mobilize a large army to come over to encircle and suppress, we must take the initiative to attack, take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to lay down a large territory, unite more people, and face the attack of the Ming Dynasty's army.
Brothers and sisters, comrades, let's take action, in the outside world, there are thousands of poor people who have been rescued by the landlords and the government! ”
"Down with the landlord and the old wealth! Overthrow the Ming Dynasty! Long live the KPA!! Long live the Grand Governor!! ”
