If the influence of the detachment can be extended to Luxian, Songxian, and Qingping, then the detachment will have a lot of room for activity and strategic depth outside the core area of the Dongjiang River and Cangshui as the base!

This is crucial!

Anyone with a little foresight knows that as long as the core area is not seriously damaged, then everything is relatively easy to recover, but once even the core is damaged, it is really nerve-wracking!

The great stride to include these areas in the sphere of activity of the detachment, in addition to increasing the slight depth of the detachment, was another factor.

That is, Zhang Ran asked Li Dakou to lead the militia to secretly operate in Yuanguang before, and at the same time used the weapon of chemical fertilizer to unite the mass base in Yuanguang, and now it has achieved remarkable results!

Now, the common people of Yuanguang are increasingly supportive of the detachment, and Yuanguang County has also established a militia organization Yuanguang Brigade, which has nearly 100 militia members under its jurisdiction.

When the detachment raided Lusong County, with the cooperation of the Eighth Route Army and Yuan Zhenfeng, the militia of Yuanguang was still very weak, but it still spontaneously organized a lot of ordinary people to rush to the Jinniu Mountain position in the name of the detachment, not only sending food and drink, transporting the wounded, helping to strengthen and dig trenches, and even actively participating in some small-scale defensive battles.

This incident had a great impact on Zhang Ran, and made him fully realize that the fire of unwilling slavery had already been ignited in the hearts of all the people!

What he wants to do now is not only to ignite such a fire in the hearts of the people of Yuanguang, but also to spread to more places, such as Lu County and Song County!

He believes that in the end, these fires will become a prairie fire!

The devil will not be recovered, and the Chinese nation can be reborn from the ashes!

This is also the fundamental reason why Zhang Ran knew that the current strength of the detachment was not enough, and rashly expanded the territory too much, and it was easy to be top-heavy, and there was a situation where the steps were too big to pull the eggs, but he still decided to immediately start to develop with Lu, Song, and Qing.

Of course, although Zhang Ran is determined to make great strides forward, at the same time, he still remains vigilant enough in his heart.

Therefore, in the next treatment of Lu Song, he will not adopt the development method of spreading out the organizational team from the detachment to the township and village group, as the two main bases of the Dongjiang River and Cangshui, and the mountains and rivers are red.

Instead, it will take a relatively mild approach.

Supporting the local guerrillas in the counties, allowing the guerrillas to maintain local work, the detachment secretly supported behind the scenes, and if it was about to leave, it was the same as Lingjiang and Yangquan where Sun Hongzhong Tu marched.

At the same time, like Yuanguang, let Ma Chengbang and others first use chemical fertilizers to enter these areas to help the villagers increase production and income, and expand the mass base of the detachment in various places.

Now the little devils can do whatever they want in these places, on the one hand, because the common people do not have their own armed forces to support them, and they have to succumb to the guns of the devils, on the other hand, because the villagers themselves are exploited by the landlords and gentry, and they have no family background at all.

But the situation is different now.

This time, the detachment vigorously attacked the landlords and gentry in Lu Song and other counties, and killed those who wanted to defect to the Japanese and continue to stabilize their class position, which not only weakened the mountain that was originally pressed on the heads of the common people, but also awakened a lot of the people's hearts to be unwilling to continue to go against the grain.

In this case, the detachment supported the guerrillas and supported the villagers.

At the same time, the use of chemical fertilizers allows the people to increase their income, so that they can clearly feel that as long as they are willing to cooperate with the guerrillas and cooperate with the detachment to guard their property, then they can live a good life!

Therefore, Zhang Ran believed that as long as the detachment was willing to carry out these things in a down-to-earth manner, then it would be no problem at all to draw Lusong, Qingping, Yangquan, and other places, like Yuanguang, which is now developing in secret, around the detachment and become a reliable barrier encircling the periphery of the base area.

The reason why it is secretly developed, not like in the Dongjiang River, Cangshui is red......

That's because the strength of the detachment really can't reach that level.

Once the army of imps is overwhelmed, the outer areas can be used as a buffer zone.

When these areas can no longer be defended, they can also be abandoned as discarded, focusing on protecting the two core areas of Dongjiang and Cangshui.

In this way, there may be many people who think that Zhang Ran's approach to Lu Song and other peripheral counties is no different from exploitation.

However, Zhang Ran himself will never agree that he is taking advantage.

Because he knows too well that if the Chinese nation wants to be reborn from the ashes, and the Chinese people who have suffered for thousands of years want to live a good life, it is by no means the business of a certain person or a certain person.

It's a great thing that requires everyone's contribution to accomplish it!

Although there will definitely be people who will sacrifice and some people who will pay more, in this great era, that is indeed a decision that must be made!

Of course, Zhang Ran couldn't explain these in-depth things to Ma Chengbang and others.

It's not that they won't understand, but that they will be scared.

He just needs to make Ma Chengbang and others understand that they can make money by promoting the surplus fertilizer from the detachment's fertilizer factory to these areas, and the detachment can also use the power of chemical fertilizer to carry out propaganda and unite the people, which is a matter of killing two birds with one stone.

There will definitely be risks, but the detachment, and the guerrillas that the detachment supports locally, will support them.

"Since Captain Zhang said so, then we have no opinion!"

After listening to Zhang Ran's words, Ma Chengbang, Zhao Wanlin, Zheng Tianming and others immediately smiled, and seemed to see the silver flowing into their pockets like flowing water......

It is true that there is no competition for the world's only fertilizer.

Every time a market is developed, it is equivalent to an additional piece of land that can grow gold in a steady stream - it is very difficult for a group of landlords to make money or not.

But looking at Zhang Ran's sinister expression, a group of landlords knew that things were definitely not that simple!

After getting along for more than half a year, they have generally figured out Zhang Ran's temper.

When it is time to be trustworthy and to abide by the rules, Zhang Ran is indeed a man of his word.

But at the same time, if you show this guy any reasonable way to squeeze out the little bit of oil and water in the bones and scum of his own and others-he can squeeze half a catty, this guy will never just squeeze three taels!

In short, it is impossible for Zhang Ran to throw such a hot big meat bun to a few of his people in vain, but he doesn't want any benefit.

“……”

Listening to the words of Ma Chengbang and others, Zhang Ran spread his hands speechlessly and said: "I originally thought that after nearly a year of exchanges and communication, we have become comrades and partners in the revolution, but I didn't expect that I, Zhang Ran, am such a person in your hearts......"

Ma Chengbang and the others were secretly happy, and said in their hearts, could it be that this guy really wants the sun to come out of the west today, and give himself and others such a benefit in vain?

Unfortunately, this is clearly impossible.

"I admit that such a good opportunity to make a sure profit without losing money, the detachment cannot say that it will not be ...... anything"

Zhang Ran said: "I have a showdown, the detachment definitely needs to be beneficial, after all, you also know that there are thousands of people up and down the detachment now......"

Zhao Wanlin and Zheng Tianming waited for a long time and didn't see Ma Chengbang come forward, so they had to jump out and say: "Captain Zhang, can't we just implement the method we used to promote chemical fertilizers in Yuanguang?" Don't you want to play tricks here again - our profits are already very thin! ”

On the Yuanguang side, the detachment took 20% of the net profit.

It seems that many landlords still have a lot of oil and water left, but in this era, the transportation is inconvenient, just to transport fertilizer to the past and back, and there are no cars, all have to rely on manpower, which is not a small cost, so they say that the profit is thin, which is actually not false.

"No matter how thin the profit is, it's better than not making any money!"

Zhang Ran said with a smile: "Besides, in the past, there were so many of you who shared one Yuanguang, but now the territory has expanded five or six times, you make less money in one place, but there are more sales, can't you still make more money than before?" ”

Zhao Wanlin, Zheng Tianming, and other landlords blushed, obviously thinking that something was wrong, but they felt that Zhang Ran's words seemed to be very reasonable, and they didn't know how to refute it.

"Captain Zhang, you just want to knock us all out......"

Ma Chengbang finally couldn't hold it back, looked at Zhang Ran depressedly, and said in his heart According to your method, we will indeed earn more than just in Yuanguang, but is the detachment making less money?

The detachment has increased the profit share, but it still doesn't have to pay anything, and the others earn a little more, but the profits are spread even thinner - then it's really hard money!

But hard-earned money is also money, just like Zhang Ran said, some earnings are better than nothing!

Therefore, although Ma Chengbang was depressed, he also had to say: "I don't care about them, anyway, as long as Captain Zhang, you let my old Ma family have a way to live, and I will admit it if I earn less-who let everyone in this, my old horse and Captain Zhang have the best temper?" ”

"I love to hear what Master Ma says!"

Zhang Ran immediately smiled, and at the same time looked at Zhao Wanlin and the others.

Zhao Wanlin and Zheng Tianming were simply ground by Ma Chengbang's words, but they had to grit their teeth and said: "As far as your surname Ma is concerned, everyone will not support the work of the detachment - Captain Zhang, if you have any requirements, just say them all in one go, as long as it is not too excessive, we will agree......"

"That's right-we're all eating in the same pot now, how can we hurt the harmony because of a little profit!"

Zhang Ran smiled, and said in his heart that it was so good that it was so early, wasting my saliva for half a day.

Then he picked up the small blackboard and wrote a few big words on the blackboard with lime blocks - the cooperation charter of dealers in the fertilizer area!

In order to facilitate everyone to understand the focus, Zhang Ran knocked on the blackboard again and said the key point - that is, the acquisition of the dealer's agency right, which is to pay the agency deposit!
