readx; At 12 o'clock in the afternoon, Gao Fei read out the charges in public, and then verified Mi Tiehan's identity and shot him on the spot. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info thousands of people in Chongxi Township witnessed this happy scene and began to have a little trust in the Ninth Legion.

Subsequently, Gao Fei announced the confiscation of all Mithehan's property, and gave all the grain except gold, silver and jewelry to the surrounding villagers, and at the same time issued land deeds to the villagers, recognizing the legal surnames of the land they had divided. The elated villagers walked into the big house of Mithehan with their poles and baskets, and carried all kinds of items home.

Mi Tiehan's dozen wives and seven or eight children hid aside, watching the crowd in front of them in fear, their eyes blank. Gao Fei walked over slowly and comforted: "Mi Tiehan is the culprit, and what he did is not directly related to you, so you don't have to worry about being affected." You can continue to live in this house, and I will have people leave you enough food and money, and everyone here will have a piece of land, and I hope you can live on your own. I know it can be hard, but you have to accept it! A life for nothing will never come back! ”

A fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy scolded, "You killed my father!" Even if we all starve to death, we don't want you to be pitiful! ”

His mother covered his mouth with her hand to stop him from continuing, and said, "Boss, don't take it to heart, the child is young and ignorant, and his father has just died."

Gao Fei said: "It is very tragic for a son to lose his father and for a wife to lose her husband! But when your husband, your father, is tearing up other people's wives and families to be ruined, have you ever thought about other people's feelings? Think about it as you wash away your sins with your sweat! ”

After saying that, Goofy strode out of the courtyard gate, and the faces of the orphans and widows were less sad and more questioning.

"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it!" Ma Debi looked at the list of belongings that had been counted, and an incredible expression appeared on his face.

Goofy said, "yes, I didn't expect it either! A rural landlord will have more than 500,000 family properties! The villagers in this vicinity are estimated to have been exploited enough by Mi Tiehan, I don't know how they survived!? ”

Ma Debi jokingly said: "That's fine, copy a few more such landlords, and we will have half a year's military salary." ”

Gao Fei said: "I wish there were no such landlords!" How many poor people will be forced to die by fattening a rice sticker! ”

Ma Debi said: "But he finally did a good thing - tell us that there is tungsten ore here!" ”

Goofy nodded, and was about to say something, when he suddenly saw the soldiers start to gather in a hurry, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Ma Debi also felt very strange, and hurriedly stopped the lock post that was assembling the team, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"The same thing happened in a nearby township, the villagers and the landlords are confronting each other, but there are no casualties, in order to prevent the situation from worsening, I plan to send a company to control it," the post reported. ”

Goofy said to Ma Debi: "We don't have anything to do here, why don't we go over and have a look!" Then he set off with the troops to the township where the incident occurred.

After arriving in a hurry, Gao Fei and Ma Debi found that things seemed to be a little different from the Mi Tihan incident: dozens of villagers formed a loose encirclement and confronted the landlord in the middle. As the distance gradually narrowed, the expressions of the two sides were clearly visible, and Gao Fei could not see any justification on the faces of the villagers around him, while the expressions of the landlords were aggressive. It stands to reason that the matter of Mi Tiehan must have already been spread here, and the position of the Ninth Legion is also very clear, why does this landlord dare to be so fearless?

Goofy motioned for the warriors to disperse quietly, and then he and Ma Debi walked over quietly, carefully examining the landlord who was surrounded by villagers. The landlord was about fifty years old, tall and tall, with a straight back, an angular face covered with fine wrinkles, giving people the feeling of having been through vicissitudes, a long goatee on his chin, stubbornly upturned, and a half-new silk gown, which was cleanly washed.

When the villagers saw the two big officials coming, they all stopped arguing, but the landlord just glanced at Gao Fei and Ma Debi indifferently, and continued to question the villagers standing opposite him: "Wang Xinjiu, what qualifications do you have to plant Lao Tzu's land?" People like you deserve to starve to death! No matter how good the land is, it is impossible for you to grow crops, so don't waste Lao Tzu's land! ”

Wang Xinjiu dodged and said: "Let's farm the land, the War of Resistance, we have to fight the war and you run away, I will find the land without an owner to plant, plant it, and now you are back, why should I give it to you!" ”

The landlord roared loudly: "Lao Tzu only knows that you are planting the land, don't go around in circles with Lao Tzu, in a word, do you give or not?" After speaking, he rolled up his sleeves, and when Wang Xinjiu objected, he immediately went up to do it.

Wang Xinjiu hurriedly took a few steps back and shouted to Gao Fei and Ma Debi: "Two chiefs, the landlord is going to beat people!" Decide for us, the poor! ”

The landlord turned his head and said without showing weakness to Gao Fei and Ma Debi: "I don't care if I am a chief or not, there is a law for political axes!" My Tong Sanfu has never done anything illegal, all the fields are earned by my own hard work, and I am not afraid of anyone coming! After speaking, he stared at Goofy and Ma Debi with provocative eyes.

Ma Debi quietly took a step back, leaving Goofy where he was, and then watched with interest how he coped with the situation.

Gao Fei met Tong Sanfu's gaze and asked, "Haven't you seen and heard of the proclamation issued a notice after our army entered Qingliu, stating that the status quo of rural land would be maintained temporarily?" ”

Tong Sanfu took a big step forward and asked in a loud voice: "May I ask if you are an official of the Republic of China?" Do you want to act in accordance with the laws of the Republic of China? Is the proclamation of your Ninth Legion bigger than the law? What law says that you can take a person's property at will? Then he said: "In the past, when Cai Tingkai was the director of the Appeasement Office, the cultivators had their own land, and the landlord's consent had to be sought in advance to purchase the land. ”

Gao Fei felt a little annoyed when he saw that he had a fearless appearance, and said: "As a parent official in Fujian, he will naturally act in accordance with the law!" But if someone oppresses the people, I will definitely not sit idly by! Then he said to the villagers around him, "If you have any grievances, just speak out, and I will be your master!" ”

Tong Sanfu looked at Gao Fei with a very contemptuous gaze, as if watching a clown perform a clumsy performance, while the villagers around looked at each other, and no one took the initiative to come up.

Seeing Gao Fei's puzzled expression, Tong Sanfu said proudly: "Let this Qingtian master disappoint, no one sued me!" You must think again: these villagers are afraid of being oppressed by me, and they dare not speak out! Isn't it? ”

Before Gao Fei could answer, he continued: "Back then, my father left me only three acres of thin fields, I went out early and returned late, worked hard, took care of my fields, and went to the mountains to hunt, pick herbs, and do some small business to subsidize the family, and after 30 years of hard work, I have nearly 100 acres of land now." Ask these people, who of them has suffered more than me, and who has been more frugal than me? And if they have received any of my almsgiving? ”

Gao Fei got the answer to his question from the looks of the villagers, felt a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "In this case, then I will pay you on behalf of the political axe to make up for your losses, and you don't ask these villagers for land anymore, okay?" ”

"Not good!" Tong Sanfu flatly refused: "I am a farmer, I have dealt with the land all my life, I only believe in the land and my own hands, and money is not attractive to me!" Then he said: "You don't know what these guys are Wang Xinjiu, so pay for them!" I haven't read much, but I understand that cultivators have their fields, can they be considered cultivators? ”

He pointed to a few strangely dressed villagers who were standing with Wang Xinjiu, and said: "These losers, they never go to the fields, they get together to eat, drink, and gamble when they have nothing to do. Give them the land, and the grass will grow better than the crops. ”

Gao Fei pondered for a long time before he came up with some solution, and said: "These are all your side of the story, it is not accurate, and when I investigate carefully, if the situation is indeed consistent with what you said, the field will be returned to you in a lot." ”

Subsequently, Gao Fei began to ask the villagers one by one, and the results were basically the same as what Tong Sanfu said, and even some villagers reacted that Wang Xinjiu and several people were idle all day long and unwilling to engage in any manual labor, which was a role that people were annoying to.

Gao Fei returned to Tong Sanfu, bowed deeply, and said, "Old man, I'm very sorry!" In the next preconceived idea, I think that the landlords are similar to Mi Tiehan, how offended! ”

In this way, Tong Sanfu was embarrassed and said, "It's okay, you are such a big official to deal with such a small matter in person, I have never seen it in my life!" I'm just too temperamental, in fact, I won't make so many things after a good discussion. ”

Gao Fei said sincerely: "Thank you very much for your straightforwardness, which let me know that I was too hasty in dealing with similar things in the past, so as to avoid people being treated unfairly for this in the future." Then he said: "There should be a lot of people like Wang Xinjiu, and I will find a way to solve it properly!" It's just that there are still some people who are willing to work and have the ability to work, and they don't have land, food and clothing, which is really difficult! ”

Tong Sanfu said generously: "I can sell some land to these people, but the price is not negotiable!" It costs a lot of money for my son to study abroad! ”

Gao Fei hurriedly said, "No problem, no problem!" I will explain to them to give you a satisfactory price! ”

On the way back to Qingliu County, Ma Debi said in a slightly admiring tone: "Commander, if I had dealt with this matter just now, I would definitely have to teach that old landlord a good lesson!" It's rare that you have such a good temper! ”

Goofy said, "But there's nothing wrong with him? On what basis shall I teach him? If he is a character like Mi Tie Han, I can't bear to be the last! ”

Ma Debi said: "His empty posture is really uncomfortable to watch! ”

Gao Fei smiled and said, "I was also angry at the time, and I really wanted the soldiers to arrest him!" But if you think about it carefully, what he said and did was right, we are in a high position, and if we fight against others, we will be no different from Mi Tiehan! ”

Ma Debi said with emotion: "Now I finally understand"

Goofy asked curiously, "What do you understand?" I don't think there's anything particularly remarkable about it myself. ”

Ma Debi replied: "I think your greatest merit is not your military attainments, but your broad-mindedness and modest character, so that people of different surnames and backgrounds can get along with you very well." ”

Goofy smiled faintly and didn't answer

According to the latest army expansion plan drawn up by the corps headquarters, Gao Fei added two new armies to the battle sequence, the Territorial Defense Army and the Guerrilla Command behind enemy lines; because the scale of this army expansion was the largest, Gao Fei was always worried about the shortage of troops, so he immediately rushed to the group army headquarters after coming to Fuzhou to inquire about the results of the army expansion. The result was much more than he expected!

Because the Territorial Defense Force's operational area was confined to Fujian Province, it attracted a large number of locals to join, and all three divisions were fully recruited within two months. The situation at the guerrilla headquarters was even more gratifying -- during the Battle of Wuhan, a large number of victims from the Yellow Flood Area came to Fujian with the assistance of the Fujian Provincial Political Axe offices in Hubei, Anhui, Henan, and other places, and solved some of the soldiers; At the same time, the offices in the southwestern provinces have also recruited a considerable number of volunteers; In addition, after the fall of Guangzhou, a large number of refugees poured into Fujian. Although Fujian's industry is good, the pressure to digest hundreds of thousands of people at once is still quite high, so many outsiders choose to join the army. The guerrillas' operations were not restricted by geography, and many outsiders who had left their homes saw the hope of returning to their hometowns, and there was a long queue in front of the recruiting office of the guerrilla headquarters all day long.

The problem of personnel was solved, but the weapons and equipment were far from meeting the needs, so several division commanders spent all day in the quartermaster's office, trying to solve the problems of their own troops first, and when the provisional 27th Division was withdrawn, Zhang Qifeng's hand was stretched out in front of the division commander again, making him anxious. When he was in a dilemma, Goofy came back from the front line, so the director honestly kicked the ball over, anyway, the output of the arsenal is so large, the commander said that he would divide it.

After careful consideration, Goofy decided to give priority to the supply of the Territorial Defense Forces, then the guerrilla forces, and finally the provisional 27th Division.

The reason why Gao Fei made such an arrangement was mainly based on the following considerations: The army had already occupied Guangzhou and could attack Fujian at any time, so it was necessary to ensure the security of the base area. The provisional 27th Division was almost disabled, and it was impossible to engage in combat again in the short term.

After solving the problem of equipment, Ma Debi raised another problem: When the guerrilla troops were carrying out struggles in southern Anhui and southern Jiangsu, they found that the local political axes had been completely paralyzed, forcing the guerrillas to allocate a large number of men to solve the problem of provisions; at the same time, the public order situation in these places was also very grim, and there were bandits and local armed forces of unknown origin everywhere. Therefore, there is an urgent need to restore the functions of local governments in these areas in order to establish a solid base and gain popular support.

After Gao Fei dealt with the issue of the army, he immediately went to the provincial political axe to find Cai Yuyan, chairman of the Fujian provincial political axe, to discuss the issue of administrative jurisdiction.

In Cai Yuyan's office, Gao Fei unexpectedly saw Mike Rosen, the representative of the Fujian American-British Chamber of Commerce, and the latter said excitedly as soon as he saw him: "General Gao, I have finally waited for you!" ”

Looking at Gao Fei's inquiring gaze towards him, Cai Yu explained: "Mr. McCroson has a very important matter to discuss with you, and he has been waiting for you in my office for two days!" ”

Gao Fei thought about it: it will only be two days since he returned to Fuzhou, and it seems that the matter must be very urgent.

Mike Rosen said: "General Gao, please order the troops to stop laying mines immediately!" The businessmen can't stand it, and if it continues like this, Fujian's economy will be hit hard! ”

Cai Yuyan explained in detail: "You ordered the defense forces to lay mines in the port and the areas suitable for the landing of the Japanese army, blockaded the sea, the two ports of Xiamen and Zhangzhou have been unable to enter and exit, and all the goods are concentrated in the two ports of Fuzhou and Quanzhou, and many cargo ships are waiting in line to enter the port in the open sea, which has caused great pressure on the customs, and at the same time, many goods cannot be transported out in time, delaying the contract and causing the merchants to suffer huge losses." Now, your subordinates are ready to seal even the remaining two ports, so that Fujian's material import and export channels will all be blocked! ”

Gao Fei suddenly understood in his heart, and he said: "I did this for the safety of Fujian!" Once the army lands on the coast, everyone's lives are not guaranteed, so what kind of business and contracts are there to talk about? ”

Cai Yu said: "Although Guangdong has been fighting for almost a month, the warship has never appeared in the waters of Fujian, and I feel that I have no intention of landing in Fujian!" In addition, our ships are basically registered in Britain and the United States and other countries, and they fly the British and American flags when sailing. Then he added: "After the fall of Guangzhou, there are only two roads for the entry and exit of materials in the rear, Fujian and Ningbo. How can the [***] on the front line still fight? ”

Goofy asked in embarrassment, "Then what do you say?" Do you put the bare land in the Fujian sea in front of the army? ”

Cai Yu said: "Don't we still have shore fortifications!" The most important thing now is to seize the time to import the necessary materials, and not to waste food due to choking! I think that even if Mr. McCroson does not come to you, in a few days, the base camp will definitely ask you to lift the blockade, and the Central Army's dependence on imported supplies far exceeds that of our Ninth Army, how can it be endured! ”
