"Captain Zhang, let's join the Eighth Route Army......"

"Captain Zhang, we in Houping Village resolutely want to become one of the bases of the Eighth Route Army, if you don't agree, we won't go back today......"

Early in the morning, the representatives of the villagers from the surrounding ten miles and eight townships flocked to Yanggou Village, which made Yanggou Village full of people, and it was lively like a temple fair for the New Year.

The people sent by Ma Youtian and other landlords shrank in the crowd, shrinking their heads and brains like thieves, and whenever the common people looked at them with unkind eyes, they couldn't help but be frightened, for fear that the other party would rush over and beat themselves.

This scene in front of them made these people realize for the first time that what is called the torrent of history is irreversible!

"Cakes, cakes, a dime!"

"Big brother, you haven't eaten since you came early in the morning, have you? After drinking porridge, two bowls are a dime......"

In the crowd, some clever villagers began to sell pancakes and gruel, and every time they sold a bowl of porridge or a piece of cake, the back sockets of the happy ones came out, and the heart said that this captain Zhang is here, and the good things in our Yanggou Village are really one after another...... There are a lot of people here, if this is often the case, then a few shops can be opened!

Zhang Ran didn't expect so many people to come, and he was happy and a little panicked.

I am happy, of course, because I have successfully mobilized public opinion and laid a solid mass foundation for the future development of the Jindong detachment.

The reasons for panic are many.

On the one hand, he was afraid that the situation would become too big and not under his own control, although he was also engaged in mass work in the past, but with the support of the government behind him, there was no chaos at all, but now, relying on his two guns and a shotgun, something could not be suppressed at all!

Don't say that he is still a fake, if the real eight roads come, how can I explain myself?

But now, Zhang Ran can only take one step at a time.

Let Wang Lao, Wang Kai, and Wang Wenping go out to maintain order first, and then whispered to Wang Changtian, Lu Yan and several other activists in the village.

After everyone left, he himself tidied up his appearance, took a deep breath, and took out a majestic heroism before walking out.

"Captain Zhang, my uncle sent me over, I have something important to discuss with you!"

Ma Youtian jumped in front of Zhang Ran and begged bitterly, and the rest of the henchmen sent by the landlord also stepped forward one after another, saying that they asked Zhang Ran to take a step to speak.

"I just want to discuss with me now, why did he Ma Chengbang go earlier!"

Zhang Ran glanced at Ma Youtian coldly, and then said loudly to all the villagers: "Everyone has seen it, the power of the people is infinite, these landlords and old wealth, how arrogant they are usually, now they are all asking for the door - as long as the villagers can closely unite around the Jindong detachment led by our Eighth Route Army, no one can bully us!" ”

"We must unite around you, Captain Zhang!"

"Down with the landlord Lao Cai, support the Eighth Route Army......"

As soon as Zhang Ran's words fell, Wang Changtian, Lu Yan and others, who were mixed in the crowd, immediately screamed loudly, and in an instant, the slogan of defeating the landlord Lao Cai and supporting the Eighth Route Army sounded from everyone's mouths.

At first, it was sparse, but gradually it became unified.

The slogans shook the sky, there was a kind of momentum, and with these slogans, it was constantly condensing!

Slogans don't seem to be of much use.

But Zhang Ran knew that the slogan was like a lie, and if he said too much, not only did the people who listened to it gradually believe it, but even the people who shouted it might think it was true in the end.

Therefore, the slogan is not afraid of false emptiness, as long as you are willing to shout, shout more, and shout into everyone's heart, it is still very useful to unite the people.

In the sound of these slogans, Ma Youtian and the others couldn't help but tremble, and they discovered for the first time how terrible it was for these ordinary people who had been oppressed by them for many years to unite once they united!

"Stay there and talk to you when I'm done talking to the villagers!"

When the villagers were quiet, Zhang Ran asked Ma Youtian and the others to get aside, so that everyone sat down and prepared to talk slowly!

This mass work, especially the mass work that has just been launched, cannot be clearly explained in a few words, and it must be thoroughly discussed and negotiated at one time in order to win the hearts and minds of the people to the greatest extent possible.

Otherwise, some issues cannot be discussed, and there may be endless troubles in the future.

There weren't that many stools at all, everyone sat on the floor.

"First of all, I would like to thank everyone for their support to our Jindong detachment, the Eighth Route Army!"

Zhang Ran spoke, and then briefly talked about the overall situation, from the Japanese devils who died in our hearts to the inextinguishable heart of China, to the tragic massacre in Nanjing, so that the villagers could understand what kind of fate it was like to be a slave to the country.

"The villagers haven't met a devil in this mountain, don't you know, the little devil is poisonous......"

Zhang Ran said loudly: "Little devils don't matter if they are soldiers or not, they kill people when they see them, they kill those who resist, and if they don't resist, they kill them, and the little children who are still nursing can use bayonets to play on the tip of the gun, even pregnant women, they don't let go, and they can cut open their stomach......s."

"Enough for the day, the little devil is simply not human!"

"Brute, brute, ......"

Hearing that the little devil even killed the child, and even the pregnant woman did not let go, one by one was sad and indignant, and scolded, if there is really a devil in front of him at this time, it is estimated that they can rush up and tear each other alive!

Zhang Ran was very satisfied with the performance of the people.

After many years of dealing with the common people, Zhang Ran knew too well the fact that as long as the common people's hatred and hatred were aroused, the next thing would be much easier, and then he loudly threw out a question: "What should we do if the little devils want to kill us, kill our children, and insult our sisters?" ”

"Fight with the little devils......" the villagers screamed.

"Yes, fight with the little devil!"

Zhang Ran said loudly: "But the little devil is really powerful, he works hard casually, and the average few people can't fight a little devil - a few days ago, more than a dozen people from our Eighth Route Army came over and met the devil, and all of them were killed by the little devil, and I escaped alone......"

The villagers were silent, desperately if they couldn't fight, what could they do?

"Don't be afraid, everyone!"

Zhang Ran said loudly: "Although the little devil is powerful, he will also die, as long as we unite and unite around our Jindong detachment, the little devil wants to bully us, it is not so easy - Lu Yan, bring me the little devil's things and show it to everyone!" ”

Lu Yan twisted it for a year, and finally went to the house and took out a ball of rags.

"What's going on?"

Seeing that the military uniform of the little devil he handed over to Lu Yan for safekeeping had become this virtue, Zhang Ran was anxious.

"I made my own pants and a ...... for the puppy"

Lu Yan had a big mistake on her face, she didn't dare to tell Zhang Ran that everyone avoided Zhang Ran at the beginning, but she was willing to let Zhang Ran live at home, not because of any kindness, but simply because she fell in love with the clothes of the little devil in Zhang Ran's hand.

Zhang Ran noticed the earthy yellow pants that Lu Yan was wearing, and immediately stomped his feet in a hurry, at this time, if he took out the clothes that were pulled from the little devil, it would be much more convincing than the empty words of the villagers-but now, there is a ball of rags left!

Lu Yan's aggrieved eyes were red, and she almost cried.

"Captain Zhang, don't blame Lu Yan!"

Wang Changtian said: "You have only been here for a short time, you don't understand the situation, Lu Yan is alone with a little dog, bitter, she doesn't even have a change of clothes, her clothes and pants are torn, she can't even find a piece of cloth to mend it, a big girl's clothes are not covered, it's uncomfortable......"

"Yes, yes, Captain Zhang, don't blame Lu Yan, we all know about Maling Village, and we know that you escaped after killing the devil......"

The villagers and villagers exonerated Lu Yan one after another, and many of them excitedly pinched the clothes and pants on Lu Yan or the little dog that were changed from devil clothes, and said in a loud voice: "This material is really thick, durable and warm......"

"Well, it's warm, and it's sturdy — I guess I won't wear it for a few years!"

As soon as she said this, Lu Yan immediately forgot about her sadness, and looked proud of taking advantage of the sky.

Hearing Lu Yan's words, almost everyone looked at the clothes and pants on her and the puppy, and they were so envious that they probably forgot what they were here for.

Zhang Ran didn't expect this situation, but his heart was overjoyed!

Why!

In these years, not only Lu Yan's family is poor, not only Lu Yan's family is poor, who is not poor in this family? Who doesn't have patches on their clothes, and they don't even have a change of clothes?

Thinking of this, Zhang Ran laughed and said loudly: "The little devil is difficult to kill, but it's not that he can't be killed, and this little devil is very arrogant, do you know, I killed a devil, in addition to these clothes and shoes on the devil, what else did I get?" ”

As he spoke, Zhang Ran began to count with his fingers, a few pieces of ocean, gold and silver jewelry, guns and ammunition, and lunch boxes and the like.

"Damn, this little devil is simply full of treasures!"

Listening to these things that Zhang Ran said, the villagers' eyes were straight, and they said that if there was a chance to kill a little devil, wouldn't they be rich?

"Isn't that right?"

Zhang Ran laughed and said: "As long as everyone unites around our Jindong detachment, we have a lot of strength, not only can we fight the landlord's old wealth, divide the land and divide the land, but also have the opportunity to kill the devil and rob the devil's things - when the time comes, every household can use the clothes of the little devil to change their ......clothes like Lu Yan."

"Little devil of dog day, don't show it to Lao Tzu!"

"If the little devil touches Lao Tzu, he will die......"

The villagers screamed one after another, and their expressions were not hating the devil at all, they completely regarded the devil as a big fat pig to be slaughtered!

Looking at the expressions of the villagers, Zhang Ran couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said in his heart that Lu Yan's doing this was much more attractive than directly taking out the clothes of the little devil for everyone to see, and completely mobilized the enthusiasm of the villagers to follow his Jindong detachment to fight against the devil.

It's definitely a blessing in disguise!
