889 Criticism and Expectations

The person in charge of the land reform work in Zhejiang and Fujian, as well as the main generals, received Xiao Ruxun's instructions more than four days later, starting with Zheng Ying and Xie He, and after receiving Xiao Ruxun's instructions, they were shocked and inexplicable.

At the same time, they recognize that they seem to be a little carried away, and the long-term victory and success seem to have made them forget their initial caution and begin to be a little unscrupulous.

As a result, Xie He quickly suspended the land reform work and summoned all the main responsible persons to hold a very important meeting to convey Xiao Ruxun's latest instructions.

"The most important thing for our land reform working group is to be sober-headed, not to go crazy with the farmers, who have not read a book and don't know a single word, even us? What are the instructions of the Grand Marshal? Didn't the marshal tell you? Keep a clear head and control the peasant association!

What is Manipulation? Manipulation and control! Manipulation is just as important as control! We people in charge of land reform can't charge into battle with the peasants, burn, kill and loot together! I've heard that a lot of people have been getting confused lately, and they're burning, killing, and looting with the farmers! What is it? This is completely disregard for the instructions of the commander!

This is extremely wrong behavior! We've read books, we've got our own brains! We can tell what to do and what not to do! Is burning, killing, looting something we should do? Be clear-headed! Be sober! You can't be at the forefront like farmers! Sit in the rear and give instructions! I repeat once again, if similar incidents are found in the future, we will punish them severely! ”

Xie He severely criticized the increasingly fierce criticism of land reform in recent times, and severely criticized the behavior of killing people for the sake of killing people instead of killing people for the sake of land reform in some places, and demoted more than a dozen people on the spot.

Then, he conveyed Xiao Ruxun's latest order.

"The latest instructions of the marshal, those who maliciously resist and refuse to obey, men are killed, young women are not allowed to be killed, and those who are willing to hand over the land and all family property, regardless of men, women, old and young, according to the head of the family, each person in the family should keep 20 acres of land, 50 taels of silver, and the ancestral house can be retained, and the land reform working group and the peasant association shall not harm their lives.

If there are 10 people in a family and 200 acres of land in the family, it seems like a lot, but does this also have to be criticized? I've also recently heard that some places are so crazy that as long as they have land at home, they will be criticized and persecuted, what is this? This is overkill!

It is pitiful for landless vagrants, but through their own labor, their families have dozens of acres and hundreds of acres of land cultivated by their own families, which is hard work and prosperity, not landlords and gentry! What the marshal has explained, where have you forgotten?! ”

Xie He harshly criticized the main persons in charge around him, and his tone was very strong.

The leaders in charge of land reform also realized some deviations in their behavior, and while feeling deeply afraid, they also said that they would immediately start to improve their work in order to achieve Xiao Dashuai's hope.

Of course, Xie He himself was criticized more ruthlessly by Xiao Ruxun, Xiao Ruxun said that he was dizzy, and he simply did whatever he wanted!

"Let you allocate land to the peasants, so that the imperial court can directly collect taxes, and do not have to be seized by the gentry! It is to let the imperial court better control the place instead of killing all the local people! This is not for you to kill for the sake of killing, killing is a means, a process, not an end, why should people who do not need to kill should be killed?

Can there be a good end to those who have killed too many people since ancient times? Kill to make them afraid, not to kill them completely! Is the Xu family, which covers an area of nearly 300,000 acres, comparable to the small family covering an area of 200 acres? Why do you have to kill them? ”

Xiao Ruxun's original words were very harsh.

These words made Xie He very uneasy, he realized that he had done these dizzying things because he longed for Xiao Ruxun's attention, he was the initiator of this increasingly crazy behavior, if he didn't reverse it in time, when the situation became more and more intense, I am afraid that something would happen.

So now hurry up and correct it.

However, despite this, Xie He still understands Xiao Ruxun's protection for them, for example, Li Wenyuan, the commander of the Xuanwu battalion in Fujian, was driven back to Myanmar by Xiao Ruxun to work as a policeman because of the matter in the book, which shows that Xiao Ruxun does not allow anyone to express opposition to his land reform action, let alone allow army generals to participate.

The generals of the army can only provide manpower to assist, follow the instructions of the land reform working group, and cannot intervene, Li Wenyuan actually intervened, and actually tried to protect some of the children of big families who were about to be killed.

Xie He soaked his face in cold water to calm himself down.

Xiao Ruxun not only asked the people in Heishui to reprimand him, but also gave him a handwritten letter, not only telling him about the necessity of absorbing those who were willing to cooperate to join in, but also telling him about the necessity of establishing a model of cooperative landlords and tendering the remaining swinging groups.

At present, in most areas of Zhejiang and Fujian, the brutal killing has already broken the hearts of many gentry and landlords, and as long as there is a chance to survive, they will definitely seize it, select some people to allow them to join, give them a chance to live, and then make a big propaganda to the outside world, engage in psychological tactics, and achieve the effect of surrendering without a fight.

As for these intellectuals who have been absorbed, they should also be used well, and they will be used as the main force to carry out the first stage of killing the most stubborn and powerful gentry in the area of Songjiang Prefecture and Suzhou Prefecture, so that they can be completely separated from the traditional scholars, and their hands will be stained with blood, and they will even be more reliable and useful than the peasant households.

All in all, demarcating the area, killing first, then soothing, then Huairou absorption, and finally turning the gun, letting them kill their own people, tearing their alliance apart, is more conducive to accelerating the disintegration of the large armed gentry in the Suchang region, such as the Xu family.

At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to the protection of normal commercial activities in the city, and small merchants and hawkers should protect them, not move them, and it is enough to directly grab the properties of those stubborn families and arrange for people to control them, but for those who voluntarily hand over their property in the cities, it is necessary to carry out a relatively mild "redemption policy".

According to the 670 percent of the appraised value, they should be given a sum of money to buy their urban industries, especially rice and grain stores, and they should also vigorously control and stabilize local grain prices, so that as long as grain prices and grain sources are stabilized, order can be restored in the local areas in the shortest possible time.

The army must protect the county seat, and never allow those peasant households who have robbed their heads to rush into the city to do whatever they want, and the people of the land reform working group must also comprehensively improve their control over the peasant unions, and control the peasant associations, rather than being taken away by the peasant unions!

All in all, Xiao Ruxun's harsh criticism of him still hides a strong expectation, and there is criticism and guidance, rather than being driven away directly like Li Wenyuan, which proves that Xiao Ruxun has a positive attitude towards his work.

This made Xie He feel a lot of hope.

He must continue to work hard and do his best to meet Xiao Ruxun's expectations and become an indispensable and important help for Xiao Ruxun, so that he can face the wind and reach the peak of life in the important changes in the future.
