Chiang Kai-shek glanced at Chen Cheng, of course he understood the mind of this confidant general, he wanted to divide and rule his political enemies, and the same was true for his subordinates, and he could not let any side sit big, only in this way could he ensure his commander-in-chief's authority.

"Chairman, something happened in Yucheng, and the gentry of the sixteen counties sent a joint telegram to the Nanjing Executive Yuan, demanding that the rent reduction and interest reduction be canceled, and at the same time accusing Zhuang of the ten major crimes of the Cultural Revolution, President Wang asked how to deal with it." Yan Daogang walked quickly with a telegram.

Chiang Kai-shek's heart sank, knowing that what should have come had finally come, he frowned and asked, "The ten major crimes, are they all the ten ten?" ”

Yan Daogang unfolded the telegram and swept his eyes and said: "First, it embezzles public funds, and the funds of the Southwest Development Team are unknown, and the accounts are not clear; the second is to recruit soldiers and soldiers, and the place is restless; 3. plundering people's wealth; Fourth, control public opinion; 5. Inciting peasants to resist rent, and there is a suspicion of promoting redness; 6. Indiscriminate capture of good people; 7. Appointing people for personal gain, and removing local governors without authorization; Eight for the bandits to disrupt the national policy; 9. Regard the regime's army as private property; Ten morals were degraded, and two female slaves who privately accepted gifts from the Yi people Tusi for their own silver music. ”

Chiang Kai-shek was happy in his heart, and he couldn't help but scold: "It should be killed, it should be killed." ”

Chen Cheng and Yan Daogang didn't know the inside story, so the two of them were very puzzled, Chen Cheng said carefully: "Chairman, the Cultural Revolution won't be so ridiculous, let's send someone to investigate." ”

"Look up what! Niang Xipi! Chiang Kai-shek's face flashed red, and he stood up and scolded: "There are eyes without beads, Niang Xipi!" ”

Chen Bui heard Chiang Kai-shek's angry scolding, hurried over, and when he walked to the door, he met Lin Wei who also came over, the two looked at each other, and both saw the doubts in each other's eyes, I don't know where Chiang Kai-shek's anger came from, could it be that the battle was lost again?

"Chairman of the committee is angry," Chen Cheng still tried his best to advise: "This is just a one-sided statement, let's send a telegram to ask, or let Yang Yongtai check it, the Cultural Revolution ......., at least I don't believe that he is a communist party, if he wants to be a communist party, he will already go to the communist bandits." ”

When Chiang Kai-shek saw Chen Bui and the others coming in, he waved at them: "Look at it, the ten major crimes of the Zhuang Cultural Revolution are really funny!" ”

"The Ten Crimes of the Zhuang Cultural Revolution?" Lin Wei and Chen Bui were stunned, Lin Wei quickly took the telegram from Yan Daogang's hand, and couldn't help but smile at a cursory glance.

"This is a strange news in the world, the embezzlement of public funds definitely does not exist, the forced conscription of soldiers, it is estimated that it is a reserve system, and it should not exist, plundering people's wealth, this is not clear; The control of public opinion is estimated to be a matter of setting up a propaganda department; Inciting peasants to resist rent is estimated to be a matter of rent reduction and interest reduction; This indiscriminate arrest of good people and selfishness do not know what to say; is about the bandits, it is estimated that it is Jiang Xianyun's business; This tenth, we have been to Yucheng to his house, and we have never seen two female slaves. ”

"It was sent by the toast when he went to Panzhihua for inspection, he didn't want it, and he didn't go back, so he sent them to Xichang to study." Although Zhuang Jihua did not report it, Chiang Kai-shek still knew very well that Zhuang Jihua had too much eyeliner around him.

Chen Cheng now understood that Chiang Kai-shek's anger was directed at those gentry, and Lin Wei and Chen Bui knew more about Zhuang Jihua, so he couldn't help but say: "What are these gentry doing?" Where did the Cultural Revolution provoke them? ”

"Needless to say, reduce rent and interest," Chen Bui smiled bitterly: "Zhuang's Cultural Revolution carried out social reform in Yucheng, which must have touched many people. ”

"Chairman, how do you reply to this telegram?" Yan Daogang asked.

Chiang Kai-shek's eyes looked at Chen Bui and Lin Wei, and Chen Bui suggested angrily: "Severely reprimand, warn them not to make things out of nothing, and falsely accuse senior cadres of the party-state." ”

"Don't worry about it for the time being," Lin Wei believes that now is not the time to come forward: "After they are fully exposed, let Zhuang Wenge come forward to clean them up, and when Zhuang Wenge has almost cleaned them up, the chairman will come forward to appease them." ”

"Well, Weiwen said this deeply and I mean, forwarded the telegram to Zhuang Wenge in the form of a secret telegram, and at the same time told him to let him do it without any worries."

But even without this telegram from Chiang Kai-shek, Zhuang Jihua could only let it go, he could no longer care about the battle of Huili, and the situation from all over the country showed that the resistance to rent and interest reduction was very strong.

When the wheat harvest season began in Chongqing in May, the wheat harvest began in rural areas, and the task force set up propaganda points in each village to publicize the policy of reducing rents and interest rates to the peasants. The peasants began to pay rent to the landlords in accordance with the provisions of the political axe, but the landlords quit and insisted on collecting rent according to the original rent, and the peasants, with the support of the working group, began to resist rent.

"Fellow villagers, this time it is the political axe behind you to support you, don't be afraid, the landlord cannot take back the land, as long as they dare to take back the land, our team will stand up for you." On the threshing floor at the entrance of the village, a member of the propaganda team stood on a stool and shouted to the surrounding farmers.

"Okay, only pay forty percent of the rent!" The peasant shouted with laughter.

"Fart, it's the other way around!" A young man came angrily with his family, and shouted loudly with his hands on his waist: "The land, it is my family's land, the rent is my family's rent, not a single grain can be missing, whoever wants to lose my family's rent, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people!" ”

"Forty percent of the land rent is a regulation of the political axe, and you dare to resist the political axe decree!" The young man in the working group asked unceremoniously.

"Decree, fart decree, here Lao Tzu is decree, come on, call me!"

With the young man's shout, the family behind him rushed up like a wolf, punching and kicking the young man, and another propaganda team member tried to rush up, but soon he was also beaten.

"They are from the government!" Someone among the peasants shouted, and several young peasants looked angry, but the old man next to them held them tightly.

"Don't beat people, I'm the chairman of the peasant association,...." A middle-aged man hurriedly ran over, and was knocked to the ground by a stick from the family members in the middle of his sentence, followed by punches and kicks.

"Lao Tzu is fighting the government, and the turtle's son is beating!" The young man's face showed arrogance: "I tell you, you can't lose a grain of rent!" The interest should not be less! ”

The beating lasted for ten minutes, and then the young man led Yang Chang away, and the peasants immediately lifted up two team members, one of whom was bleeding from his mouth and said with difficulty: "Go to the town and report to the work team." After saying that, he tilted his head and passed out.

"Quick, send it to the town, find Langzhong!" The old people shouted, and several middle-aged peasants found a sliding rod with all hands and feet, put the two people on the sliding rod, lifted it and ran.

"Find the militia and clean up the turtle son." The young farmer angrily broke free from the old man's pull, and another young farmer shouted, "I'll go, I know they're in Liujiaping." ”

That night, the militia and town work teams that rushed back from Liujiaping surrounded the landlord's manor in Shicun, and then broke into the door and arrested the beaters, but the young landlord who commanded the beaters ran away.

"It was his old man who commanded and instigated him to arrest him."

The angry team members went up and tied up the old landlord, and the team leader said coldly: "All the others are also detained." Raid your house tomorrow! ”

The resistance of the landlords was quickly suppressed, and the landlords, who had suffered great losses, began to go underground.

In the west wing of a large mansion at the west end of the town, under the dim light, the table was full of wolves, and Wu Shupu put a bag of ocean on the table.

"Ghost sixth, I'll pay the remaining half after the deed." Wu Shupu's face was full of murderous intent.

"Okay," the ghost old six took a sip of the toast, "I'll take that kid's head to receive your reward." ”

After finishing speaking, the ghost Lao Liu got up and grabbed the money bag, trembled slightly, and there was a clanging sound in the bag, he nodded with satisfaction, pushed open the door and swaggered away.

Late that night, several crisp gunshots rang out from the team's premises.

"As of today, xxx, the leader of the team in Changshou Gelan Town, was assassinated, and the team leader xx in Xiongjia Town, Wanxian County, was assassinated, seven members of the team were killed and twenty-two people were injured; In addition, four captains were dragged into the water by the landlord with beauty and money,..."

Li Zhilong's words made Zhuang Jihua's heart ache and anger, his hands clenched into tight fists, and Li Zhilong knew that the anger in his heart was about to explode.

Zhuang Jihua gritted his teeth and was about to make a move, and Gong Xiuhua rushed in to report: "Hui understands the siege, Professor Peng and Professor Chang are also back, they were captured by the Red Army and did not receive any injuries, but in the process of the firefight, four members of the escort team died." ”

"Give credit to the principal for Ann." Zhuang Jihua said lightly, without the slightest joy on his face, he was silent and said to Li Zhilong: "Go to the municipal axe and convene a meeting." ”

"Cultural Revolution, what are you going to do?" Li Zhilong was very worried about Zhuang Jihua's appearance, he was afraid that Zhuang Jihua would take some irrational decision in anger and make people seize the handle.

"Don't worry, I have a trick to deal with them." Zhuang Jihua pretended to be relaxed and said, but he knew in his heart that he only had one trick, the old-timers had already used it, and it proved to be very useful, Zhuang Jihua suddenly stopped: "Tomorrow, inform Mayor Yang and the heads of various departments, tomorrow there will be a meeting in the municipal axe, and today I will write an article." ”

"Cultural Revolution, what's wrong with you? Busy and confused, Mayor Yang went to Chengdu. Li Zhilong was even more worried: "You better take a rest, Liu Yinshu's mother and daughter are still in the hospital, go see them." ”

Liu Yinshu gave birth to a daughter in early May, which made Zhuang Jihua very happy, but he had too many things, first he was besieged, and then he officially implemented rent reduction and interest reduction, so he only went to the hospital once, and then handed it over to the second aunt and Zhuang Li.

"I'll go when I'm done with the article." Zhuang Jihua nodded and said, "Don't worry, my mother and mother-in-law are here, and they will be fine." ”

Li Zhilong stared at him for a moment before saying, "You have to be careful, don't wear yourself out, you are the core of our group." ”

Li Zhilong then called Wu Ziniu and Lu Ruishan in, told them to pay attention to Zhuang Jihua's safety at all times, and then suggested that a few people from the special forces be transferred to Zhuang Jihua's side.

"No need to make a fuss." Zhuang Jihua shook his head and said.

"Since they dare to do it down there, they also dare to do it to you, you must know that your current opponent is not only those local tyrants and inferior gentry, but also warlords hiding in the shadows." Li Zhilong was very serious: "Listen to me this time, Wu Ziniu, immediately ask Song Yunfei to send a few people over." ”

Wu Ziniu promised to turn around and leave, but Zhuang Jihua opened his mouth and finally didn't stop him.
