It smells strange, but in fact, the lid of the box is not opened, which means that it smells fragrant!

Now that her heart knot has been opened, Chen Ping's attitude towards Hanhang is much better, after all, many things in the industry still have to be done by Hanhang to make big ideas, big ideas, and big designs. However, she still maintains a general comrade relationship with Han Xing.

Several of them were old colleagues, and they quickly came to Xuda Hutong in Boping County.

Xuda Hutong Village is located on the west bank of the Tuxiao River in Boping County, this place is strange, it is some red land, and other places are either saline-alkali land or sandy land. Saline-alkali land has poor soil quality, saline-alkali is heavy, not to mention crops, grass does not grow, and sandy land, which leaks both fertilizer and water, is not an ideal crop land.

And the best land for growing crops should be red soil, that is, clay soil. Only clay soil is of good quality, and there is neither fertilizer nor water leakage. The red land of Xuda Hutong is a treasure land for the development of agriculture, and there is a more convenient condition that it is backed by the Tuxiao River and has sufficient water sources.

Daddy Xu's home is also a big family, with more than 50 rooms, nearly 100 acres of arable land, and an oil mill run by others, Daddy Xu has seven boys and one girl, and the whole family has a total of 19 people.

When others look at it, isn't Daddy Xu a big landlord, he must be a spicy eater, a fish and meat villager, and live an arrogant and lascivious life. In fact, under the backward agricultural conditions at that time, only three or four acres of land could support one person, and the food of these nearly 20 people alone would eat up the output of sixty or seventy acres of land.

The life of Daddy Xu's family is usually to drink white porridge, eat nests, and pickles. In modern terms, it is the life of a pauper.

After the "autonomy of the five provinces of North China" in 1935, the northwest of Shandong fell into a state of chaos, with troops routing and plundering, bandits swarming, and the vast number of people in dire straits. Seeing the miserable situation of the country's ruin and family ruin, the boss Xu Yushan couldn't hold back his indignation, worried about the national disaster and banditry, and secretly resolved that he would never watch his hometown be destroyed in the national disaster and banditry.

In order to deal with the looting of bandits, the masses in 28 villages near Xujia Hutong spontaneously organized the "Lianzhuang Society". In 1936, Xu Yushan was elected as the head of the "Lianzhuang Association" of 28 villages in Xujia Hutong to organize the masses to protect their homes and prevent bandits.

On December 26, 1937, more than 300 people of the Japanese one-step artillery mixed wing set out from Yucheng to invade the south, attempting to surround Jinan by crossing the Yellow River through Chiping and Dong'e at the slippery pass. Fan Zhuxian, who was the commissioner and security commander of Liaocheng at that time, immediately ordered Chiping and Bo civilian regiments to go to stop the Japanese invaders.

Xu Yushan and others in Boping County also quickly organized the people's army to meet the enemy, and also brought out the large earthen cannons that had been idle in the village for many years. Hundreds of militia groups from Chiping and Boping counties attacked the enemy in Nanzhen at night, causing the enemy to kill each other and wound more than 40 people. He also fortified on the south bank of the Tuxiao River to block the enemy, repelled several enemy attacks in succession, and killed more than 100 enemies.

The next day, our Gaotang, Boping, and Chi civilian regiments fought fiercely with the enemy in Xuda Hutong. Fan Zhuxian's artillery found out that the Japanese army was assembling in a courtyard in Zhoulaozhuang to give a lecture, and immediately ordered the artillery to fire a few shots into the enemy group, but the shells fell in the enemy group, and the enemy suffered heavy casualties, and it was difficult to move forward, and fled back to Gaotang County after dark.

At this time, Xie Xinhe, secretary of the Boping County Working Committee of the Communist Party of China, came to Xuda Hutong to mobilize the masses and organize anti-Japanese armed forces. Xu Yushan soon accepted the leadership of the Communist Party and embarked on a road of mobilizing and arming the masses, establishing guerrilla units, and independently waging guerrilla warfare, and soon developed into an anti-Japanese armed force of nearly 1,000 people.

At the beginning of 1938, this team was incorporated into Fan Zhuxing's 32 detachment.

In the spring of this year, Xu Yushan was introduced by the party branch of the 32nd detachment and a party member to join the Communist Party of China, and grew from a simple patriot to a proletarian vanguard fighter.

On November 15, 1938, Liaocheng was broken by the Japanese army, General Fan Zhuxian was martyred, and the 32nd detachment was dispersed.

In January 1939, the Eighth Route Army was established. Xie Xinhe, secretary of the Boping Working Committee, sent Li Jianmin of the 32nd Detachment to Guanxian County to get in touch with Zhang Weihan of the Zhuxian Column.

On February 7, 1939, Li Jianmin took the order of the Zhuxian Column and returned to the area of Hutun Laoguan Li in Boping County, announcing that he was free from the shackles of the Kuomintang county magistrate Wang Jiayou, and the 32nd Detachment was officially expanded into the Seventh Regiment of the Zhuxian Column. Xu Yushan was the head of the regiment, Li Jianmin was the director of the Political Department, and Zhou Zishan was the chief of staff.

Soon after the establishment of the Seventh Regiment, it cooperated with other troops to fight an ambush by the Japanese army in Shuangying Village, Hutun, Boping County. Despite the inferior weapons of the time, the fighters fought bravely and defeated several hundred well-armed Japanese troops. In addition to the annihilation of part of the Japanese army, a large amount of loot was captured. Later, the 7th Regiment attacked Qi Zixiu of the 11th Brigade of the Shandong Security Brigade, which was resolutely hostile to the people, near the Linqiao in Bopingxi.

At the beginning of 1939, the anti-Japanese democratic regime at the Boping County and district levels was gradually established, and Xu Yushan served as the county magistrate of the first anti-Japanese democratic government of Boping County, and established three district regimes in the third, sixth, and seventh districts with better conditions, with Xu Yubi, Jia Jingwu, and Wang Huaiyuan serving as district heads.

The establishment of the anti-Japanese democratic regime and the strength of the Seventh Regiment aroused strong dissatisfaction among the Japanese army, the security army, and the Kuomintang garrison in the region. Yuan Pingzhi of the Fourth Prefecture of the Kuomintang once stationed in Boping with a force of two or three hundred people, or threatened or induced Xu Yushan to win over Xu Yushan, in an attempt to incorporate the Seventh Regiment.

There is another so-called "bandit suppression commander" in North China, Wang Yugan, who specially recruited local ruffians and hooligans, ran rampant in the villages, oppressed the people, and did all kinds of evil. He did everything possible to slander the Seventh Regiment, and bribed Zhou Chengwen, the commander of the second battalion of the Seventh Regiment, to launch a rebellion on the condition of high-ranking officials and Houlu.

Xu Yushan, with the assistance of Li Jianmin, shot Zhou Chengwen and put down the rebellion.

When the Kuomintang county magistrate Wang Jiayou saw that the strength of the Seventh Regiment was getting bigger and bigger, he tried in vain to squeeze out and disintegrate the Seventh Regiment. He mobilized the Seventh Regiment in the name of the county magistrate, and after Xu Yushan refused, he came up with another plan to stop the Seventh Regiment's already pitiful military salary, and instigated some people to go to Xu Yushan to ask for military salaries.

Xu Yushan closely relied on the party organization, united the vast number of officers and soldiers, exposed their conspiracy in public, and caught the troublemakers who incited the trouble.

The enemy's threats and inducements did not bring the Seventh Regiment to its knees, but the Kuomintang government's suspension of pay caused a certain influence and fluctuation among the troops. As a result of poor harvests and bandits, the troops suffered from a severe shortage of food. Most of the soldiers of the Seventh Regiment are from the Boping area, and many of the soldiers have no food at home, so many soldiers can only find troops and ask for a solution to the problem of food.

In order to solve the problem of feeding the troops and eating the military families, Xu Yushan had no good way, and he had to take food from his own home. Then he took some of the warriors and said to them, "Go, follow me in search of food." ”

Xu Yushan led a part of the soldiers to his home and asked for the key for the second Yuchen. Yuchen also asked, "What do you want the granary key for?" ”

Xu Yushan said: "You don't care." ”

Xu Yushan opened the door of the grain warehouse that had been accumulated for many years and said to the soldiers: "Load, these thousands of catties of grain will be used as military food, and then a part of it will be distributed to the military families." As long as I Xu Yushan has something to eat, I can't let the villagers go hungry. ”

The soldiers looked at it, isn't this Commander Xu's home, where do they dare to load food, and stay there one by one.

Xu Yushan said with a smile: "Why are you stunned, let's pretend quickly!" As he spoke, he picked up the cloth bag and put it away.

Although Xu Yushan pretended to be himself, other fighters still didn't dare to pretend. One of the soldiers said, "Commander Xu, I thought I was going to eat a big family, but it turned out to be your grain!" We don't dare to pretend. ”

Xu Yushan roared loudly and said, "I told you to pretend, you will pretend, this is my own food, what are you afraid of?"

Although Daddy Xu opened a few companies, but it was also a dismal operation, and he couldn't make a few money, seeing so many soldiers, he thought that the bandits were coming to grab food again, and he was so anxious that he shouted: "The second, third, fifth, come quickly, grab it, isn't it?" The boss of my family is a soldier in the army to eat food, if you dare to rob it, you will not inquire whose home it is. When the boss comes, how can he spare you? ”

At this time, Xu Yushan walked out from among the soldiers, grabbed Daddy Xu, walked into the West House, and said to Daddy Xu: "Dad, our team is short of food, what do you say to tell me?" I think let's donate a part from our family first, the soldiers are full of food and can fight devils. You must be willing! ”

Father Xu is also a reasonable person, and he saw that the boss Xu Yushan led the people. He thought for a moment and said, "I thought it was bandits, but it turned out that you led the people." Boss, you don't know your father's temper yet, in order to fight devils, I'm willing to take my life! We are not the rich people of the soil, and we can't keep food at home and let the troops starve, right? If you need it, take it! ”

After Xu Yushan left home, it was the eldest brother Xu Yuchen who was taking care of the housework at home and holding the financial power, but when he saw this scene, he was angry, and said to Xu Yushan angrily: "Big brother, this is your mistake." You don't want to think about it, since you left, have you worried about things at home, have you worked hard? Including my sister-in-law and your children, what to eat and drink, aren't we all wrapping it up for you? Oh, if you don't come to send some money, you can send some food, and you can bring people to the house to pull food. You're over, you're full, what do these dozen or so people here eat and drink? Pat your conscience and think, are you doing this right? I also lied to the key to the warehouse, saying that I don't care. You're gone, and we'll dry the fish......"

Xu Yushan saw that the eldest brother was reasonable, and couldn't help but put down the cloth bag. When the soldiers heard this, they were also a little embarrassed, and they didn't dare to load food.
