Who would rebel if it weren't for the sake of having enough to eat? The People's Party did not allow looting for the people who asked to join the gang, and some people were reluctant to retreat. Li Zhao, who spoke to the people, had been in the army for so long, and he had a very thorough understanding of people's mentality. People who are willing to follow the team have that forward attitude, which is a focused attitude that is permeated in every detail and ready to move forward at any time. Looking at the people in the "uprising people" who began to look left and right, Li Zhao knew that these people were no longer willing to fight simply for the sake of the revolution.

Since the People's Party established its armed forces in Fengtai County, the soldiers recruited by the People's Party are basically from good families. Although the good family may not have those hooligans to fight in the beginning. However, after more than half a year of training, his combat effectiveness has improved rapidly, and he is particularly able to bear hardships and stand hard work. After the division of rooms in Fengtai County, the spirit of the troops has reached a higher level. "Fight for the liberation of the common people", this almost slogan declaration, has become a kind of belief among the soldiers.

If you are in the base area, you are just obeying the orders of your superiors. After seeing the disaster situation in the surrounding area, the soldiers really determined that the whole family had survived from the death line thanks to the People's Party, and it was only because of the People's Party that they had the life they have today. The political work system of the BJP has repeatedly stressed the need to let the fighters know that this is not the strength of the BJ, that most of the work is done by the fighters and the people, and that all the BJP does is to stand on the side of the people and serve the people. However, to the surprise of the comrades in the political work system, this propaganda made the fighters rally around the BJP.

It is precisely because they understand this, and it is precisely because they have spared no effort to publicize this that the fighters really feel that the People's Party is truly leading everyone to live a good life together. Because in the past, the people worked equally hard, but the benefits of such hard work are very small compared with the present.

In the past, the people met those who belittled the people as worthless and boasted of the meaning of their existence. Following these people, the people picked up some leftovers at most. Only by following the BJP did everyone feel that they had really gained the bulk of the benefits. Until now, the fighters did not understand what revolution was and what industrialization was. The only thing that the fighters know is that all their labor, and the fruits of their labor, for the most part, fall evenly into the hands of the people like themselves, and not into the hands of the officials of the People's Party. As long as the People's Party is here, no one will starve to death, and no one can bully others. For such simple and real reasons, the fighters were willing to follow the BJP with all their hearts.

Even if you have to face war, you have to face death. The fighters were still willing to follow the party.

In fact, Li Zhao's earliest ideals were no different from those of other revolutionary youths, to defeat foreigners and build a strong China. A large part of the reason for following Chen Ke is that he can't stay in Shanghai anymore, and I heard that there is a county magistrate as a backer in Fengtai County, and the revolution should be very easy. Li Zhao did not understand the needs of the people, and the reason for his hard work was quite simple, in such an environment, only everyone could survive by uniting and working together. Since Chairman Chen Ke himself is personally on the front line of danger, what else does Li Zhao have to say?

When Li Zhao also had subordinates, and when Li Zhao also had to take responsibility for others, Li Zhao originally felt that it was natural for comrades to follow him. It's just that as a political worker, he has to learn to understand the thoughts of grassroots comrades. When he finally understood this after hard work, when Li Zhao truly understood the true mentality of the grassroots soldiers. The feeling was beyond his own imagination, and Li Zhao found a place where no one was there and cried.

As long as you work, you can live, and no one can bully others. This was supposed to be a very simple system, and as an old party member who founded this new system with Chairman Chen Ke, Li Zhao didn't know that the people's demands were actually so small. Li Zhao even always believed that it was necessary to spend a lot of money to buy the people to follow him to the revolution. Chen Ke repeatedly stressed in his training for political workers that as long as a fair and promising new system is established, the people will follow the people's party. Li Zhao didn't really believe it much at the beginning of his work. Now he finally believes.

Of course, Chairman Chen Ke also repeatedly emphasized in the training of political workers. The old system constantly poisoned the people culturally, making people believe that they had the opportunity to become "human beings" who became rich by exploiting others. In the face of the group of "rebellious people" who were co-opted by Zhu Sanshui, Li Zhao also believed in this judgment. Originally, the eyes of many "rebel people" flashed with a greedy gaze, which was not good, it was a light that looked like a beast. As soon as these people heard that "looting is not allowed", the impulsiveness and excitement immediately plummeted. Just get a common person in Fengtai County, and there are more decent people than these people.

After the public trial meeting in Fengtai County, the troops held various forums, and everyone agreed that the trial was very fair. The only complaint was that the public trial should have been held earlier, and the people were actually very worried about whether the People's Party would go with the landlords like the previous government. Many fighters suggested that some of the bad guys in the past should be arrested. In the face of the political cadres' interpretation of "judicial fairness", that is, without evidence, the judicial system cannot arrest people. The fighters expressed their full approval and enthusiastically reported it.

Li Zhao firmly believed that such a soldier of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army would never participate in the war and participate in the looting, and the people did not expect troubled times, let alone crime. Therefore, Li Zhao would not let these ordinary people with impure motives participate in this military operation under any circumstances.

"We came to fight to liberate the people. Folks, if you want to defeat corrupt officials and smash this cannibalistic world, we are all welcome to join our team. If you just want to loot and kill, you don't have to follow us. After the defeat of Fengyang Mansion, we will firstly provide relief to the victims, and secondly, we will never allow bandits to run rampant. ”

After hearing this, many "rebellious people" have already looked at Zhu Sanshui with dissatisfied eyes. Zhu Sanshui didn't say that at first, "Break into Fengyang Mansion and copy the property of the dog official." This is the slogan that Zhu Sanshui used to agitate.

Some people had already asked in an expectant tone: "This leader, after you conquer Fengyang Mansion, how will the dog official's family property be divided." ”

Hearing this, Li Zhao was already a little unhappy in his heart, he suppressed his mood and replied loudly: "Part of the official's family property is distributed to the people, and part is confiscated. After laying Fengyang Mansion, we have to give relief to the victims, and a lot of food has to be bought from outside. ”

"So we go to war and then we can't get anything? Is it okay for me to quit? The man shouted.

Hearing this, Li Zhao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, this military operation mobilized nearly two thousand soldiers, and this force alone was enough to easily capture Fengyang Mansion. If they were all fighters of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, military discipline could be guaranteed. Li Zhao didn't want to get the people involved in the looting, and there were such things during the attack on the siege, and in order to suppress the looting, the revolutionary army spent no less effort than the siege. He smiled and said, "Yes." You can opt out. ”

Hearing this, one hundred and ten people immediately withdrew from the team. Many of the remaining people don't know whether it's better to quit or stay here. It was at this time that suddenly a middle-aged man strode up to Li Zhao and fell to his knees with a bang. He had a good attitude and knelt straight, which startled Li Zhao. Li Zhao wanted to help him up, but the middle-aged man insisted on kneeling on the ground. While the two were entangled, the middle-aged man said loudly: "This leader, I want to participate in the fight against Fengyang Mansion this time, not for robbery." I'm going for revenge. The officials of Fengyang Mansion have a grudge against my family, and they wronged my brother to death. I only ask for one thing, after breaking the Fengyang Mansion, hand over that official to me, I will dig out his heart and liver and avenge my brother. ”

"We don't allow people to kill people indiscriminately, and we can't let everyone take revenge like this." Li Zhao finally pulled the middle-aged man up. "If you have a grievance, after we break the Fengyang Mansion, you can come to us to complain about your grievances. Rest assured, we will never let a bad guy go. No matter who you are, as long as you owe the blood debt of the people, we will recover it for you. ”

"Really?" The middle-aged man heard that Li Zhao did not directly agree to his request, and he was suspicious of Li Zhao's words.

"According to you, that man owes a blood debt. Then he will never owe only your family a blood debt. After taking down Fengyang Mansion, the other wronged people also wanted to take revenge, you killed the official privately, and the other people thought that the official ran away privately. ”

Seeing that the middle-aged man was still skeptical, Li Zhao asked: "Although that bad guy only has one life, he can only die once." But we will hold a public trial meeting, so that everyone who has been wronged can tell their grievances in public, and let everyone know the ins and outs of our killing him, isn't this the best sacrifice for the deceased? ”

The middle-aged man seemed to have been persuaded by Li Zhao, and he suddenly knelt down in front of Li Zhao and kowtowed repeatedly, "This leader, you are the master of Qingtian." ”

Li Zhao hurriedly pulled the middle-aged man up again, and then said to everyone: "Folks, we are not rebelling, we are here to save the people and redress the people's grievances." We can't just talk about beating the bad guys and doing the same bad things as the bad guys. ”

Yan Fu looked at Li Zhao's mobilization and couldn't help but nod slightly. He has not yet participated in the battle of the People's Party, although Chen Ke has said some basic information, stressing that the People's Party troops stress politics and are by no means fighting to stir up riots. But Yan Fu was still worried that this revolution would cause chaos in the past, and that there would be killings of officials in any revolution, and Yan Fu did not have much sympathy for his former colleagues. But Yan Fu still cherishes his reputation very much. If Chen Ke said one thing but did another, Yan Fu would not follow Chen Ke to continue to the dark. Seeing that Li Zhao's mobilization goal was clear, it was indeed very political, and Yan Fu was very impressed.

In the end, more than 300 people were left with only more than 50 volunteers to participate in the battle, and Zhang Yu did not let them take the lead. Instead, leave the work of leading the way to them. Although the map of the base area is detailed enough, it is not so detailed that even the roads are clearly marked. It will be much more convenient if there are locals to lead the way, which is why this operation accepted Zhu Sanshui to join.

After the reorganization was completed, the troops began to march.

In the books Zhu Sanshui has read, the description of the march is one word: "people shout and neigh". The march of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army was very different, and the soldiers marched one by one with their mouths tensed and silent. Seeing that the pace was not very fast, Zhu Sanshui could withstand it at first, but after a while, Zhu Sanshui couldn't keep up, he had to be slower than the soldiers with every step, and the accumulation of one hundred and ten steps came, and Zhu Sanshui had been left far behind by the team that had just started to keep up. Just when he was panting and wanted to rush up, he saw that two soldiers suddenly caught up behind him, picked up Zhu Sanshui and walked forward. Someone could help, and Zhu Sanshui immediately felt a lot more relaxed.

But I saw that no one in the whole team spoke at all, everyone was in a hurry, except for the sound of footsteps, there was no voice. Zhu Sanshui wanted to ask, but just keeping up with the team had already exhausted his strength, where did he have the strength to talk more. Not only that, as the march continued, Zhu Sanshui found that as long as he thought about other things in his mind, his steps would immediately become heavy, but he didn't want to do anything, just follow the large army to rush forward, and his steps could be much easier. Zhu Sanshui also gradually gave up all distractions, and just concentrated on the road with the help of the soldiers next to him. At first, Zhu Sanshui was still restraining himself not to think too much, and he didn't know how long he had been walking, Zhu Sanshui's head was already empty, and the huge consumption of physical strength made him feel a little prostration, and he didn't even have the energy to use his brain to think about things.

Whether he rested twice or three times on the way, Zhu Sanshui couldn't remember it clearly. Anyway, every time he collapsed on the ground panting, and before he had fully rested, he was dragged up and continued to march. It's also cold, and when I walk, I'm sweating hot, and when I'm resting, I'm blown by the cold wind. When the city wall of Fengyang County, the capital county of Fengyang Prefecture, appeared in the field of vision, Zhu Sanshui only felt that his eyes were black, and the tall city wall seemed to be covered in a layer of black mist. When he collapsed on the ground and gasped, he saw that the troops had been put in order a little and continued to advance. But the queue is a little different from when it was on the march.

Zhu Sanshui didn't know that this was the result of low physical function caused by prostration. He has begun to lack the ability to discern and think.

When the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army arrived at Fengyang Mansion, they saw that the city gate was not closed. Looking through the binoculars, the head of the city was also very loosely guarded. After a little discussion with Pu Guanshui, who came with him, Zhang Yu decided to adopt the first set of plans and use the fake new army to earn money to open the city gate. As soon as the military order was given, a group of troops in new army uniforms quickly advanced towards Fengyang Mansion.
