9th No-man's Land Base Creation (4)
Jet Wu is then forcibly occupying land. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoGezhuang Ge Xixian Before 1941, his family had 80 acres of land, but he was arrested by Jet Wu as a traitor, and 20 acres of land were sold before being released. apportioned in the village, he sold another 20 acres of land, and Ge Xixian still had 30 acres of good land, connected to Jet Wu's land. Jet Wu wanted these good lands, so he found an introduction, arrested him as a traitor, and wanted to fine 30,000 yuan, Ge Xixian couldn't afford it, so he had to transfer 30 acres of good land to Jet Wu.
At this time, Ge Xixian only had 10 acres of thin land left, and Lu Xi's thin land could not produce much food per acre, and the family could not eat enough food on 10 acres of thin land, and the mother and children also starved to death.
Liang Xingui has 60 acres of land, two wives and two sons, and a grandson. Wang Shurong, a brigade commander of Jet Wu, because Liang Xingui's land was next to his land, Wang Shurong found a wrong person who fined Liang Xingui 400 legal currency and a horse. Don't say that the horse is punished, the horse has to be fed by Liang Xingui.
One day, Wang Shurong asked the horse to arrive quickly, and Liang Xingui led the horse late, and was fined 70 acres of land. Liang Xingui only has 60 acres of land, and now he has been fined all the land, and it has become 10 acres of land owed to Wang Shurong, where is the reason? Wang Shurong is not done yet, and he will also go to his two good trees.
Jet Wu's team, regardless of whether the big or small officials used weddings and funerals to carry out net-type plunder, even gave the people silverware and diapers for giving birth to children.
Jet Wu's team also has a way to collect money, that is, to arrest people and spend money to redeem them. Once, when the team arrived at Qiaozhuang, they pulled the eldest girl several cars, don't you want someone? Well, send money to ransom people.
Speaking of Qi Zixiu's troops, Qi Zixiu first invaded the area of Beixinji in Guanxian County in 1939, then invaded the area of Sang'a Town on both sides of the Maji River, and then went to the area of Wang Lianzi in 1942. Zhang Liushaocun was not convinced, and organized an anti-Qi struggle.
Qi Zixiu concentrated three brigades to attack, and the village was finally breached, men, women, and children died miserably, and children were almost chopped up. Qi Zixiu burned for three days in Zhangliushao Village, which was originally 101 households, but now only 30 households remain. Even these 30 households also ordered not to let them go out, and specially served Qi Zixiu's troops, as for whether there was food or not, they didn't care, they could only pick up leaves to eat when they were hungry.
Qi Zixiu burned and killed all the places he went, and implemented the three-light policy, and more than 1,000 people died in Guangwangxian Village, and even the forests were destroyed, and they were pulled to repair the stronghold.
Xu Jiande, the original 7 people, more than 30 acres of land, diligent and thrifty family life is okay, and there is a ploughing cow at home. Qi Zixiu's soldiers were about to take the cattle away when they saw them, the cattle were the life of the farmer, and Xu Jiande's father fought hard with them. As soon as the soldiers went together, they beat the old man to death.
Xu Jiande had no choice but to take his family out to ask for food and pick up leaves to eat. He couldn't pick up leaves, and he was beaten by Qi Zixiu's soldiers, his arm was broken, he had no money for treatment, and he died of pain. His wife and two sons also starved to death, and the family was left with only a little girl, a young son.
In order to support the two children, Xu Jiande's elder brother sold 19 acres of land, and only sold 30 yuan per mu of land.
The two children ran out of money from the sale of land, and when it was time to cook, they cried, so the uncle had to take them to Henan to ask for food. When I arrived in Henan, there was no way to live, and the 9-year-old girl gave it to someone else as a child daughter-in-law, and the boy also gave it away.
Qi Zixiu also built a "Fire God House Demolition Group", robbing a woman to demolish the house and then burning the original place with a fire, what did he do after demolishing the house, it was to build a stronghold. Everywhere they went, people fled for fear of being slow to dodge, and a catastrophe would hit them and ruin their families.
Qi Zixiu is in the north of Guanxian County, and more than 300 villages have been endangered in the north of Tangyi.
In addition to Qi Zixiu's department, there are also Zhou Zizhong and Feng Erpi in this area. Zhou Zizhong was originally a regiment commander of Wang Laixian, and later the commander of the 22nd Brigade, he lived in the Xinji area, and Feng Erpi lived in the Fanzhuang area. They developed outward, arresting people everywhere, fines, burning, killing and looting.
Before entering the village, they promised not to move a single grass or tree in the village, but once they entered, they burned it, killed it and robbed it all, and when they opened the stone village, 32 people were buried in a pit, and all the houses were burned down......
When Han Xing heard these reports and saw these materials, his mood was difficult to calm down for a long time, and he thought about it, the military disaster is the military disaster, this is the military disaster. Except for the devils, these Kuomintang miscellaneous armies are no different from devils, they burn, kill, loot, and do all kinds of evil, but they can spoil the common people.
In addition to these, there is also a deep-seated problem, which is the loss of land and usury and the serious exploitation of the peasants.
During the great famine of 1942, many peasants were forced to sell their land, and some poor middle peasants sold all their land, and most of them sold it at a low price when they were starving. For example, among the 100 households in Tiancun, 85 sold their land because of the famine, and 16 of them, including Wang Zhenyou, sold out their fields and houses, leaving not an inch of land.
Li Tongyou, a poor farmer in Tiancun, not only sold out his own land, but also sold out more than 20 acres of land from his neighbors who had fled from the countryside. At that time, the cheapness of the land was unimaginable, the initial acre of land could be exchanged for one or two buckets of grain, and later two catties of steamed buns or even one catty of wheat and noodles could sell one acre of land.
For example, Lu Liangeng ate two meals for every acre of land sold, and ate 20 acres of land after eating 40 meals.
The year of the famine was also a "good time" for many landlords and rich peasants to take advantage of the fire to loot, such as the landlord of Suozhuang who bought as much as 20 hectares of land from a village in Banzhuang.
In addition to the land issue, there is also serious exploitation. The hired workers are under cow horsepower, eat bran vegetables, and the wages are very low, almost for nothing. At that time, the salary of employees was more than 1,000 yuan, and the low was 100 yuan, according to the market value at that time, the high one could get 5 buckets of millet per month, and the low one was only half a bucket of millet.
One of Xinji's hired workers said, "As for the work, except for the work, all other work is done." As for the rice, except for the ones, they eat the rest. ”
The landlord said: "Heroes are born in troubled years, and rich households are born in famine." ”
There is also a serious problem in the rural areas, that is, the problem of usury. At that time, the price of wheat was 400 yuan per bucket, rice was 200 yuan per bucket, and some interest was borrowed for three months to repay four buckets. At that time, the lowest interest rate for borrowing money was "five cents" and "plus one", that is, after borrowing for a month, one yuan would be repaid two yuan. There are also three yuan per 100 yuan per day.
As a result of usury, many peasants lost their land, and some of their families were ruined.
The Kuomintang's Qi and Wu bandit armies and the feudal forces in the countryside created a famine with their own bloody hands, and then took advantage of the famine with their own hands to carry out cruel exploitation.
During the famine, people's lives were very miserable, and the average rich peasant and the rich middle peasant had only one-tenth or two-tenths of the grain, and seven-eight-tenths of the rice dumplings were all leaves and chaff. Fang Zhaogong, a wealthy middle peasant, took vegetable nests to threshk grass seeds every day, his face was vegetable gray, and his limbs were the same as firewood sticks. After the snow, eating sweet potato stalks and hay, he still did not survive the winter, and on a snowy day, he was starved to death.
The road was littered with dead bodies, dead people were lying in the house, four-legged animals were eaten, and neighbors beat their heads to the point of bleeding in order to eat a dog.
The main area of the uninhabited area is concentrated in the area of Jia Town in Guanxian County in the west, south of Sang'a Town in the south, Tangyi County in the east, and north of Tangyi Xinji, nearly 400 square kilometers.
Some villages in the west of the sixth district of Guanxian County, such as Xiaojiaozhuang, Lanwo, Liushao, Wangxian, and Hanluo, are a little farther away from the enemy's strongholds, and close to the sand nest and jungle, and are better harassed than other places, but life is also quite difficult. In addition, the drought is very serious, and many people die of starvation because the masses have no food to eat.
At that time, the survey showed that there were more than 1,700 people in Wangxian Village, and except for those who fled the famine and starved to death, only more than 700 people remained in the village. At that time, in order to make a living, many people had to sell their only land at a low price, and one acre of land could only be exchanged for one or two buckets of millet.
The landlords of the villages took advantage of the opportunity to lend usury, and they made a fortune in a big way by taking advantage of the danger of others, not killing the poor, not getting rich, and not growing in the land, and they put forward extremely harsh conditions to the peasants who borrowed grain, and they had to have documents on the land as collateral and wealthy relatives and friends as guarantees, so that they would not starve to death in the future and not be able to repay the grain debts. It is clear that one bucket of millet is borrowed in the spring, and three buckets of wheat are returned after the wheat harvest that year.
Due to the drought, in the autumn of 1942, no wheat was planted, and in the spring of 1943, there was a severe drought and no rain, and it only rained in the seventh lunar month. The farmers had no livestock, so they had to use shovels to plan, pull by manpower, and spend a lot of effort to plant mung beans. When the mung beans were harvested in the autumn to sow wheat, the wheat seeds were scarce and expensive, and it was only three buckets of mung beans to buy one bucket of wheat at that time. In this way, it becomes a loan of one bucket of millet in the spring, and after the autumn, you need to repay nine buckets of mung beans to repay the debt of the one bucket of millet borrowed the year before.
The broad masses of the people who borrowed debts sighed and were worried about repaying their debts, and some said sadly and indignantly: "Although I didn't starve to death in the spring, I finally harvested some mung beans in the autumn, hoping that it would make ends meet, and if the debts were repaid, the adults and children would have to starve to death." ”
Some landlords also added fuel to the fire, fearing that they would not be able to repay their debts, so they stepped up their urgings, and many people were faced with the tragic scene of ruined families and deaths.
Seeing this, Han Xing couldn't hold back any longer, slapped the table, and scolded: "Lang Lang Qiankun, what is the way of the world now!" If I don't care about this matter anymore, I'll be in vain! ”
Xiao Yingzi was startled. Now Xiaoyingzi can also play on the ground, but she can't help but see Han Xing. As long as Han Xing leaves, she will inevitably cry and make a fuss, and she will die or live. She stared at Han Xing with a pair of immature eyes and asked, "Dear father, why are you angry!" I've never seen you so angry! ”
Han Xing scolded: "It's not that my father is angry, it's that the world is too annoying today, and it simply doesn't let people live!" Let's go, find your Aunt Zhang. ”
Han Xing hugged Xiaoyingzi and found Zhang Daqian, and said angrily: "Let's go, Secretary Zhang, let's go to Wang Xianzhuang." ”
