Chapter 314: Good Times

On the second day, the labor propaganda team of the Dengzhou Army was stationed in Mojiazhuang.

After recruiting the poor tenants in the vicinity, the labor propaganda team immediately held a criticism meeting. Now they are very familiar with the routines of this batch of fighting conferences.

First, the captain of the labor propaganda team announced the Mo family's crimes, and then mobilized poor tenants to expose their evil deeds.

But what if no one goes up? That's easy to do, the agents of the Military Intelligence Department disguised as poor craftsmen will appear on the stage, and use their own personal experience to lead and guide everyone.

Then, these honest and poor villagers who are also suffering will be infected, and consciously or unconsciously plunged into the "revolutionary" torrent of criticism of the landlords' old wealth.

The next process is the happiest thing for these poor people. Each household can get a share of land according to the number of people. Moreover, the government will also issue a document to confirm it in person.

Many people got the ink-scented paperwork and were sure that they had obtained the land, and they all knelt on the ground with tears in their eyes, chanting all kinds of words of thanks to Lord Wang Rui, and kowtowing in the direction of Dengzhou Mansion.

It is inconvenient for the extremely poor family to get some production utensils, even tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans.

At the beginning, Wang Rui thought about whether to charge some fees or use the method of lending, after all, the ancestors had long had the ancient precept of "Ascending Mien, Fighting Mi Hatred". However, he later recalled what the CCP had done in another time and space, and felt that it was better to win the hearts of the people in a gratuitous way.

Of course, the Dengzhou Army did not unconditionally distribute all the property of these landlords and old wealth to these poor people. Basically, half of the extra land was registered in the name of Lord Wang, and it was reserved for the thieves to rebel and use it to receive and resettle the displaced people.

The grain, gold, silver and jewelry, which were the bulk of the goods, were all looted by the labor propaganda team. These days, looking at the gold, silver and grain in the treasury of Dengzhou Mansion piling up more and more, our Lord Wang Ruiwang is about to laugh badly.

With all this food and money, and with the poor peasants who had received the favor of his lord and were bent on defending their family land, Wang Rui felt that he could expand his army in a big way.

Considering that more troops were needed in Denglai and Korea, Wang Rui decided to recruit another 20,000 troops, increasing his total strength to 50,000.

Now that the land reform in Dengzhou Mansion has just been completed, then 15,000 people will be recruited from all over Dengzhou Prefecture first. The remaining 5,000 soldiers will be recruited after the completion of the land reform in Laizhou.

In mid-October, all localities in Dengzhou, where the land reform had been preliminarily completed, received a general order from Lord Wang to recruit soldiers.

Families who have been allocated land, unless the family is an only child, must sign up for the recruitment. They need to use their own actions to defend the victorious fruits of land reform.

Before the general order was issued, Wang Rui was still a little worried about whether there would not be many people signing up. After the news spread, the people who signed up for the application were quite enthusiastic. Every conscription point is overcrowded.

However, Wang Rui soon figured out that when it was time to carry out land reform, those labor propaganda teams and follow-up combat teams played a role.

After learning that the soldiers of the Dengzhou Army were well fed, had high salaries, and never withheld deductions, many people had long wanted to join the Dengzhou Army.

Hehe, just when everyone couldn't ask for it, Lord Wang's general order was issued.

"Baby, follow Lord Wang! Defend our land! "Many parents and elders are telling their children to sign up.

Yes, defend our land! Wang Rui has long deeply realized how great the significance of land is to a Chinese!

In a certain time and space, Hu Lu, who believed in the cult, used it to fool around, and as a result, the 8 million army of the Han people were defeated by these mud legs.

In this way, as if with divine help, the recruitment work of the Dengzhou Army was carried out very smoothly. Before the end of October of Chongzhen's third year, all the 15,000 new recruits were in place.

While organizing the officer corps to train recruits, Wang Rui and Shi Dazhang started a marriage with Ma Ju.

In the middle of the eleventh month of the lunar calendar, Ma Ju arrived in Dengzhou and held a wedding with Shi Wan'er. After that, the husband sang and the wife harmonized, like glue and paint.

After having Ma Ju sit in Dengzhou, Wang Ruigang took 10,000 recruits and 5,000 veterans to accompany Liu Zhilun and Sun Yuanhua back to Fushan Bay for inspection.

When Ma Ju learned in detail that after Wang Rui did the bloody land reform of "fighting local tyrants and dividing the land" in Dengzhou, he was afraid that Wang Rui, who taught him a lesson, had already left!

Well, you've done that too. We're still on our honeymoon, so we're too lazy to be angry with you. Still, Ma Ju sent a letter to Wang Rui, suggesting that he consider considering how land reform would work.

In the eyes of Master Ma, this indiscriminate killing and criticism is indeed too simple and crude. In his letter, Ma Ju unexpectedly put forward the concept of "enlightened gentleman".

After all, in Daming, there are many good families who cultivate and read heirlooms and benefit the township, and they still need to be distinguished and treated separately.

After Wang Rui received Ma Ju's letter, he was stunned. It's not that he doesn't agree with Ma Ju's suggestion, in fact, after the completion of the land reform in Dengzhou, he also made some thoughts. He himself also felt that what he was doing in Dengzhou was indeed too simple and crude.

What really surprised Wang Rui was the word "enlightened gentleman" mentioned in Ma Ju's letter.

As Mr. Wang recalled, the term seemed to come from a modern Western party. However, Ma Ju! Ma Judi, this Ming man, used it!

Wang Rui wondered if the next time they met, ask Ma Ju if he was also a traverser.

However, now is not the time to ask about this matter, Lord Wang has been working as a "escort" these days.

He had to accompany the recruits to train in the morning, go to the military workshop in the morning to see the trial artillery or guide the land reform of the entire Laizhou Prefecture, and in the afternoon he had to accompany Liu Zhilun and Sun Yuanhua, the two bosses, to walk around.

I went home at night, hehe, I don't have to be idle, and there are three beautiful girls waiting to fight side by side with Lord Wang.

Fortunately, our Lord Wang is in good health and can cope with it for the time being. Sometimes he thinks that if he had the physique before he crossed over, he would have been squeezed dry by the three little ladies a long time ago!

Of course, inviting Liu Zhilun and Sun Yuanhua to Fushan Bay can be described as a stroke of genius by Lord Wang!

Now in the entire Denglai, the only people who can add a little trouble to Wang Rui are about these two old masters. Wang Rui found an excuse to take them away, and undoubtedly controlled the possible negligence.

Now that Ma Ju is not long after his wedding, he is in the sweetness of you and me, so let the family have a good honeymoon.

Just when Lord Wang was tired and happy, enjoying a rare good time, Zhang Er received a secret report from Jingshi.

"My lord, it's not a good thing. Information came from Jingshi No. 2 Station that recently there were suddenly a lot of concerts by the Bullet Lords, some of which were played by the Chinese officials, and they were also sent to the ground in Shandong, Jizhi Denglai. ”

On this morning, as soon as Wang Rui finished talking with Fang Yuan, who was in charge of the land reform of the entire Laizhou Prefecture, Zhang Er, who was in charge of the work of the Military Intelligence Department, walked in in a little panic to report.
