Chapter seventy-one

When He Zudao was pulling up the old man who was kneeling towards him, a female scream came. The voice immediately made everyone look at it. It turned out that Wu Liao, the commander of the third company, was forcibly taking back the steamed buns from a female citizen. Wu Liao had never snatched anything from a woman's hands in his life, and the reason why he hardened his heart and took back the steamed bun was very simple. Hungry people are absolutely unable to resist the temptation to eat food, and these people's stomachs simply cannot stand such stimulation. When the first and second companies went out to transport food and materials, the third and fourth companies did the work of maintaining public order. He has encountered the case of victims being "strangled to death". In the face of people who have been hungry for a long time, it is useless to reason. So Wu Liao had to adopt some tough measures.

The soldiers of the third company can understand that the second company does not have such experience. He Zudao knew that Wu Liao was doing the right thing, and he ordered the soldiers of the second company around him to help. As a leader at these critical times, you always have to take a stand. He Zudao knew that someone would definitely come out to make irresponsible remarks about this matter, and if he didn't give such an order, Wu Liao would probably have to face what many people said behind his back. From Wu Liao's grateful eyes, He Zudao understood that his approach was supported.

After recovering all the steamed buns, He Zudao ordered the people to rest on the boat, and then began the pre-war mobilization.

He Zudao's personality is very shy and quiet, since he became a political commissar, he often has to hold meetings, in order to make these hundreds of people understand, his voice has become louder and louder. In order to make his high-pitched and clear young voice clear to everyone, He Zudao put a lot of effort into it. "The land these folks are going to plant is not their own. You all know that, right? ”

"Yes." Quite a few comrades replied.

"Do you think these people should starve to death? Well. Comrades answer me! ”

"It shouldn't." Quite a few shouted.

"What's the deal with those who don't speak? Do you think these people deserve to starve to death? Again, do you think these people should starve to death? ”

"No!" This time all comrades shouted.

"I know you're scared because we're going to war! If you fight a war, you will lose your life, and not only the enemy will die, but we will also die. Who is not afraid of death, that's nonsense. As a political commissar, I will stand at the front of the line. The enemy will be the first to hit me, so I'm afraid. He Zudao's face was gloomy, this was not a joke. Before Chen Ke appointed He Zudao as political commissar, he had a conversation with He Zudao. Regarding the position of the political commissar on the battlefield during the battle, he told He Zudao unmistakably. When the insurance regiment was first established, in order to establish an atmosphere, the political commissars were absolutely not allowed to shrink behind the security. They must be at the forefront to boost morale. He Zudao agreed.

Seeing the tragic situation of the victims, He Zudao, who originally decided to join the revolution in order to repay Chen Ke for saving his life, suddenly felt a kind of anger from the heart. If they hadn't encountered the insurance group, these people would have been able to survive the grain harvest in this swamp, but I am afraid it would be impossible. Tens of thousands of victims have gathered in the county, and if they can't get the land, it will be a catastrophe when the food in the hands of the insurance team runs out. Although Chen Ke's face was calm, every time he talked about this, the anxiety still couldn't be hidden. He Zudao knew that Chen Ke could still rely on luck to rescue his comrades in Shanghai. But in Anhui to kill the landlords, this kind of luck cannot always be there. Yue Zhangji's Zhang Youliang also had a hundred and ten people under him, and Chen Ke alone couldn't kill them.

The BJP, even its members and other activists combined, is now only 100 members. There are not many people in it who really dare to fight. And Qi Huishen, Chen Tianhua, and Wu Xingchen, who are the backbones, are not in Anhui, so he must stand up and lead everyone to fight. How to make sure that the soldiers of the insurance regiment can have enough battles has always been a very difficult thing for He Zudao. The people I met in the swamp are the best examples. The insurance regiment was able to bring these 480 soldiers to the battlefield because of the prestige accumulated in the past and the relief it had provided to the victims of the disaster in the past. Now we must be able to fully seize every opportunity to boost morale, and we must tell everyone a bright future in order to ensure the will to fight.

"We don't fight to die, we fight to save our loved ones. Our insurance group never deceives everyone, don't look at the fact that now we have food and drink, but this food will not last for a few months. If we can't start grabbing seeds right away, our insurance team and our parents and sisters will be hungry in a few months. What will we be like at that time, let's see if these people all know. ”

Listening to He Zudao's roar, the soldiers who had just seen the tragic situation of these victims were all silent. People are like this, if they didn't fall to that point, no one would think that they would be so miserable. The soldiers in the insurance regiment were young and had never seen such a terrible disaster. Before they were hungry for a few days, they joined the insurance group. So these people themselves don't know how miserable it can be. Some of them didn't even feel like the floods were terrible. It is only today that everyone sees the tragic truth.

"Now, we're going to fight Zhang Youliang. Why? Because this man will not take out the land and plant it for everyone. He just wants to starve everyone to death, and his family has food and is not worried about flooding. And when everyone starves to death, he can take the opportunity to rob everyone's land. We can't control natural disasters, but if these people starve to death, it will be **. **Our insurance team can always manage it. He Zudao's eyes were sharp, and along with these explanations, he only felt that a kind of righteousness suddenly appeared in his chest. A perception that it represents justice. And after listening to He Zudao's words, there was a whisper in the team of the insurance group.

"If there's anything to say, stand up and say it." He Zudao said loudly.

"Political commissar, this year is a disaster year, let's fight Zhang Youliang. But what about next year? One of the fighters asked. Hearing this, there was another whisper in the team. Yes, there is a war coming soon, and you may die, such a question is of concern to everyone.

"As a political commissar, I can now explain to you what Battalion Commander Chen Ke said. This land is our people's own, and if we take the land back this year, we will distribute the land to everyone to plant. If someone wants to snatch the land allocated to everyone, then don't say next year, no matter how long it will take in the future, as long as we still have a gun in our hands, as long as there is a person in the insurance group who can fight with a gun. Then no one will try to snatch the land from us again. ”

At the end, He Zudao shouted loudly: "And these lands will be managed by our insurance group in the future, and our insurance group will only charge 30% of the rent." In addition to these 30% rental, the insurance group will never increase taxes! ”

There was a buzz, and the inside of the team erupted. Everyone looked at He Zudao excitedly and looked at each other. It is the instinct of the farmer to own his own land. Everyone saw joy in the eyes of the others. When the insurance regiment recruited soldiers, there were very few middle peasants. The children of the landlords and rich peasants did not want any of them. For the land of the landlord, everyone naturally has no resistance. And He Zudao shouted out that he only collected 30% of the rent and never raised taxes. This greatly stimulated the nerves of the soldiers of the insurance regiment. In these years, the rent is generally more than 60%, and 30% of the rent is a paradise life. That means that the people can really get the lion's share of the harvest. These peasant-turned-warriors immediately came to their senses.

"In our team, even if there are comrades who died in battle. His family will definitely get a share of the land, and they will share it even more, even better. He Zudao continued to mobilize before the war.

He Zudao's words were heard not only clearly by the soldiers, but also by the people. The old man jumped off the boat, squeezed into the crowd, and squeezed in front of He Zudao. "This benefactor, what you said is true? Join your insurance group, and after beating Zhang Youliang, you will be able to divide the land. In the future, this land will only be rented by 30%? ”

"Uncle, I'm here to tell you. I'm not going to lie to anyone. If I deceive everyone, heaven and earth will be destroyed. He Zudao replied loudly.

"Then I'll join our team now, okay?" The old man grabbed He Zudao and said eagerly.

"Uncle, fighting will kill people. You ......"

"Housheng, I know you think I'm old. I died in battle, can my family get a share of the land? ”

"Uncle. You ......"

"In the next life, my old bones should have died a long time ago. As long as I die in battle, my family will receive the land. I will fight with you, and you just said that you want to stand in the front, and in the next life, I can't do anything else, I will stand in front of you and serve as a shield for you. Let them kill me first. Let them kill me first. The old man said eagerly.

Of course, He Zudao can't agree, and he can't appoint people who come from unknown sources. This is the rule that Chen Ke set for this battle. As soon as this kind of head opens, it is endless. He flatly refused.

The old man did not give up, he continued: "I have been to the Zhang family's weizi many times, and I know the Tao inside. Let me lead the way, I know how to walk around the fence. ”

Hearing this, He Zudao smiled bitterly in his heart. The topographic map of Zhangjiaweizi has already been drawn. The old man's message is meaningless. He asked people to put the old man aside half-persuasively and half-pulled. Only then did he continue to shout: "If you don't fight now, in three months, we will run out of food, it was winter at that time, and we couldn't plant the land if we wanted to." At that time, everyone was really going to starve to death. Anyway, it's all a death, and if we die now, our relatives don't have to die. If we die this year, our relatives will not starve to death for hundreds of years to come. Would you like to go to war? ”

"Commissar He! Do you dare to swear that you didn't lie to us? A fighter shouted.

"Of course I can swear, and I dare to swear with Battalion Commander Chen Ke. If I deceive everyone, Battalion Commander Chen Ke and I will be wiped out, and there will be no place to bury. He Zudao shouted solemnly.

In recent years, the people still believe in such a heavy oath, and when they heard He Zudao shouting like this, everyone believed that what He Zudao said was true. Everyone was very excited, and at this time, they heard He Zudao shouting: "Lay down Yue Zhangji, everyone has land to plant." ”

The slogan is the goal of the battle, and the slogan is the prospect of the future. As soon as such a concise and clear slogan was shouted, all the fighters had already understood everything, and everyone shouted, "Beat Yue Zhangji, everyone has land to plant." "Lay down Yue Zhangji, everyone has land to plant." "Lay down Yue Zhangji, everyone has land to plant."

In this disaster year, in the days when the flood destroyed the old social order, everyone came together just to survive. Now the group has finally told the fighters what to do in the future except to live now. Comrades, who saw the direction of the future, were completely attracted by such a clear path and reached a combat consensus.

Looking at the excited soldiers, Chai Qingguo was very encouraged. He was arrogant, but Gao Yujie didn't have much reaction, just looked at He Zudao thoughtfully. On the one hand, Wu Liao was encouraged, but on the other hand, he wanted to restore order quickly. Because in the marching order, no noise is allowed. The roar of these hundreds of people, if it was heard by Yue Zhangji's people, it would be terrible.

Hua Xiongmao was inside the wall of Yue Zhangji's enclosure at this time, his left arm strangled Zhang Youliang's neck, and he carried a knife in his right hand. Hearing a faint sound that seemed to come from the sky, he was overjoyed. In these days of military training, he has long been accustomed to the slogans during drills. Just by listening to it, you can determine that it is the voice of the large army of the insurance regiment.

Zhang Youliang's jaw had been removed by Hua Xiongmao, and the muscles on his painful face were twisted, but he also heard the voice. After all, it is a person who has participated in many wars, and this voice is the voice of hundreds or thousands of soldiers roaring together. This is a precursor to an attack.

Xu Dian carried a spear in his hand, and he stood next to the two of them panting, and took out a stabbing posture. In front of them, dozens of housekeepers and doglegs were armed with knives and guns. Because the two men had their backs to the wall, the men surrounded the three of them in a semi-encircled position. But Zhang Youliang is in Hua Xiongmao's hands, and these people don't dare to go too far ahead. In addition, Xu Dian would stab the person who tried to get in front from time to time, forcing the person to retreat. It's not easy to get close.

When Zhang Youliang had already made up his mind to detain the two, Hua Xiongmao had already seen through Zhang Youliang's thoughts. The reason why the insurance group sent two people here was originally to rely on the "fame" of the two to scare Zhang Youliang. This is also the reason why Yuwen Badu and Hua Xiongmao were not allowed to come with this time. If Yuwen Badu comes, Zhang Youliang may not dare to move Hua Xiongmao, but he will not be polite to Yuwen Badu.

At that moment, Hua Xiongmao had already made up his mind. While preparing to rescue the imprisoned comrades in Shanghai, Chen Ke taught everyone some genuine "killing techniques" without reservation. Without waiting for Zhang Youliang to make the next move, Hua Xiongmao pounced. His target is not Zhang Youliang, but the person to Zhang Youliang's right. Hua Xiongmao didn't know that this was Zhang Youliang's third son. The reason why the target is this person is simple. There were two people next to Zhang Youliang, one of whom once angrily scolded Hua Xiongmao for "farting". But that's all he did once. There was anger and fear in that voice and attitude. This kind of people's mentality is well understood. He was really suppressed by Hua Xiongmao's identity as a martial artist.

And the person Hua Xiongmao wanted to kill first did not lose the slightest emotional control from beginning to end. He was also angry, and fearless. The actual situation was really like this, when that person saw Hua Xiongmao pounce, his first reaction was not to panic, but to curl up and prepare to kick Hua Xiongmao's lower abdomen with his foot. If Hua Xiongmao only wanted to catch him, this would not be a bad move. But this man was wrong. Hua Xiongmao's target was only the man's throat. When the cartilage of the throat is crushed, the person will not die immediately, but will die of painful suffocation after the trachea is closed. There is a reason why Hua Xiongmao wants to make such a ruthless move. Zhang Youliang feels too familiar to Hua Xiongmao, he is too much like Hua Xiongmao's father.

Chen Ke once discussed the issue of class struggle at a party meeting, and the landlords were not born badass. For a person to succeed, they must serve a certain power. The revolutionaries were loyal to their country, while the landlords were loyal to their families. Everyone is not stupid, if a person is only for their own interests, everyone knows it. If you want to convince the public, then you must serve the interests of everyone. Hua Xiongmao knew very well that if it was his father, once he made such a determination, he would not be afraid of even withholding people with meritorious reputations, even if he was not afraid of dealing with organized armed forces. Then even if they take such a person as a hostage, they will only shout one sentence, "Kill us all." "Such a person is capable of making such a strong decision. And the angry and fearful man, because he did not dare to take responsibility, would not order his father's life. But the children who can hold back their anger and finally have the fate of the family may not dare to do it.

Hua Xiongmao was confident in his skills, and after crushing the throat of that dangerous person, he still had enough time to restrain Zhang Youliang. So he shot fast and hard. I don't care about being kicked at all, and I must also take the other party's life. He did, and after hundreds of thousands of trainings, Hua Xiongmao's fingers pinched the enemy's throat. With just one force, the cartilage in the man's throat was crushed with a "click".

And Zhang Youliang also reacted at this time, not only did he not panic. On the contrary, seeing that the throat of the third son was crushed, Zhang Youliang's aging body moved, and he pounced on Hua Xiongmao instead.
