Fengyang Mansion is in the sun of Phoenix Mountain, so it is named. If it weren't for Zhu Yuanzhang, it wouldn't be very famous here. And the famous section in Fengyang Flower Drum is also "Since Zhu Yuanzhang came out, there have been nine years of famine in ten years." "Because of the frequent floods here, Fengyang Mansion is actually a rough name. Even the prefectural government changes with frequent floods.

In this sense, it may be more appropriate to think of Manchu rule in Fengyang as a feudal colonial system of authorized taxation. The backward productive forces have made the people exhausted and unable to engage in production just by coping with the floods. This is also a fact of Fengyang Mansion.

As soon as the troops got off the boat, a large number of people were already waiting on the shore. We have seen a lot of the ragged victims, but these victims are still quite different, and they are carrying all kinds of "weapons", but they are very energetic. When I saw the soldiers of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, my face did not have the same surprise as that common to ordinary people in other places. On the contrary, the faces of these people all showed radiance. For the time being, the People's Party has not yet opened up a base in this area of Fengyang County, but this does not mean that the people of Fengyang County are unaware of the existence of the People's Party. A young man in a long shirt stands in front of the people, and beside the youth is a liaison of the BJP. As soon as they saw the ranks of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army approaching the shore, the two took the lead in meeting them.

The young man looked polite, he threw his hand at the people in the fleet, and shouted loudly: "In Xia Zhu Sanshui, it is a person from Waist Village." Who is the leader of the BJP? ”

The commander of this military operation is still Zhang Yu, and the commander of the fleet is Yan Fu. The two of them were on the boat at the front, and one of the reasons why Zhu Sanshui chose to dock here was that Zhu Sanshui volunteered to lead the locals to participate in the battle against Fengyang Mansion.

Zhu Sanshui's addition was not expected at all. The new base area was reluctant to be too ostentatious, and although the farthest base area had already reached Hongze Lake, it did not approach Fengyang Mansion too much for the time being. Zhu Sanshui took the initiative to go to the Tianhe base area and asked to join. One of the key points chosen by the BJP to develop a base area is to be near the water. Because of the flood, the people by the lakes were the most miserable.

After the responsible persons of each base area arrived at the base area, they all found that the situation they were facing was completely different from that of Fengtai County, and one of the most important differences was that there was no time to rush to harvest seeds. Although the fence was raised, there was no immediate reason to start rallying the labor of the people. Farming will not start until next year, and the people's stomachs are now starting to go hungry. The only way to deal with this is to form a "reclamation brigade" and use concentrated housing to save the amount of food supply.

For the secretaries of the various districts of the People's Party, this was a last resort. For the people, this is the only way to save lives. So all kinds of rumors began to spread at a great speed. The People's Party has countless grains here, and as long as they are willing to attach themselves to the People's Party, everyone will have food and shelter. In the past, when I was in Fengtai County, the people had been concentrated in the house, and the news spread unhappily. Now that the base area has been expanded, the scope of contact with the victims has been greatly expanded.

Zhu Sanshui was a scholar, but he was not able to be admitted to Xiucai before the imperial examination was abolished. Fortunately, the family is also a little thin, and there is no hope of fame, so it is always good to farm. As a result, when the flood came, there was no hope of farming. After hearing the rumors of the People's Party, Zhu Sanshui immediately felt that this newly rising force was by no means a "good man and a woman". In recent years, the government has not responded to disasters, and the private forces have spontaneously made such a big move, and their hearts are definitely not to serve the court.

After reading books for so many years, he has not been able to mix up fame, and Zhu Sanshui has completely despaired of the imperial court. After discovering the "suspicious" political force of the People's Party, Zhu Sanshui's choice was to defect immediately. He first went to the Tianhe base to check on the spot, saw those teams in blue, and also tried to receive meals twice. He was sure that these people were not the same thing as the imperial court at all.

Zhu Sanshui had read the book anyway and knew that it was useless to run away empty-handed. There was still some surplus food at home, so he simply asked to see the leaders of the Tianhe base area. The secretary of the Tianhe base is Qin Wu'an. Qin Wu, who was born in Fudan Public School, is a native of Shaanxi and has a unique personality of Guanzhong people. I was very interested in Zhu Sanshui's "occupation". During the conversation, Zhu Sanshui did not understand the people's revolution mentioned by Qin Wu'an, and Zhu Sanshui only cared about whether the People's Party would rebel. Since the People's Party wanted a "revolution," Zhu Sanshui simply proposed that he could devote all his family assets to organize the people of Longzihu to participate in the "revolution."

If it weren't for the People's Party's decision to attack Fengyang Mansion, Zhu Sanshui's fate would probably be "supervised" and investigated. Now that time is so urgent, Qin Wu'an is also in a hurry, so he simply went to the Longzi Lake area with Zhu Sanshui to conduct field investigations. The result of the investigation was that there was a revolutionary basis on the ground.

At this time, the plan for attacking Fengyang Mansion had been formulated, and the result of the Party Central Committee's study was that Zhu Sanshui's defection to the revolution should be sincere. At this stage, I will agree. But the premise is to send someone to see if Zhu Sanshui can obey the order and disperse the surplus grain at home to organize the local people. The result of the observation was that Zhu Sanshui did obey the order and, under the command of the commissioner, organized a contingent of hungry people.

In the end, Zhu Sanshui was temporarily allowed to join the revolutionary ranks.

Before leaving, Yan Fu said that he was not very relieved about this kind of rash joining of the team, but Zhang Yu was not so worried. The people can't survive, and if the rebellion can survive, the people don't care about attacking the government. According to several contacts, the liaison brought back the news that many local people spontaneously chose to join the fighting. If Zhu Sanshui is just a person who said he defected, then there is still some possibility of a scam, and if the local people choose to join in large numbers, the possibility that they are lackeys of the court is very small.

Seeing Zhu Sanshui coming to greet him, Zhang Yu shouted loudly: "I am the commander of the People's Party. Is this friend Zhu Sanshui? ”

"I am Zhu Sanshui! Thank God, but the king is here. Zhu Sanshui shouted loudly.

After the troops disembarked, according to the prior arrangement, the food sent to these "rebel people" was also transported. There was not much rice and wheat in the base area, and the grain brought in was potatoes. Everyone didn't say anything else, and all the people who volunteered to participate in the battle were divided into twenty pounds of potatoes first.

Zhu Sanshui never expected the People's Party to do things so righteously, one of the reasons why he was not admitted to Xiucai back then was that he liked to listen to dramas and read all kinds of novels. This practice of giving food to the people before rebelling is an excellent strategy to buy people's hearts. While moving in his heart, Zhu Sanshui faintly gave birth to a kind of fear, this group of people in the People's Party acted in a very orderly manner. Through the distribution of grain, a lot of the people's favor was directly pulled away. Zhu Sanshui called on so many people because Zhu Sanshui scattered the surplus grain at home. Now it can be seen that the People's Party has far more food in its hands than its own, and the number of people in the blue-clothed team has exceeded 1,000 people. People have guns and food, where will they take themselves in the eyes of a person who rushed to defect.

This idea didn't last long, and Zhu Sanshui quickly thought about it. Leaning against the big tree to enjoy the shade, now these people don't really want to rebel at all, but they can't live and are being coerced. How much grain can there be in Fengyang Mansion? It won't last long after the fight, let alone the Fengyang Mansion, and the people will scatter the birds and beasts after robbing the food finances. I can't gather many people at all.

"What's the matter, Comrade Sanshui, it seems that you don't understand what we are doing." Qin Wuan didn't know when he appeared next to Zhu Sanshui.

Zhu Sanshui hurriedly said: "Mr. Qin, oh, Comrade Qin Wuan, I just think that our People's Party really has too much food. I just admire it from the bottom of my heart. Although he is in a state of complete ignorance of the People's Party, in the People's Party, everyone does not distinguish between dignity and inferiority, but only commends themselves as comrades, which makes Zhu Sanshui like it very much. Even if he is a newcomer, outsiders can't hear it.

Qin Wu'an's tone was full of pride, "What we want is political power, not finances, and we are not trying to learn from the Manchus to exploit the people." So naturally the bigger the territory, the better. These grains were planted by the people of Fengtai County after the floods, and the larger the territory, the more people we can benefit. ”

Zhu Sanshui had heard other comrades of the People's Party say these things, but he himself was skeptical. It wasn't until he saw the potatoes that were still sticky to the soil, especially the potatoes were not big, that he really believed it. Since Qin Wuan was so confident, Zhu Sanshui also praised half-sincerely and half-falsely: "It would be good if the comrades of the People's Party came earlier." How many fewer people have to die in Fengyang Mansion. ”

"Aren't we here now?" Qin Wuan said loudly.

Zhu Sanshui hurriedly nodded yes.

And the next action of the People's Party was even more unexpected than Zhu Sanshui, in his mind, since the People's Party has given the people food, it can be said that the money for the sale of their lives has been paid, so as many people should be gathered as many people as they can gather. Unexpectedly, the cadres of the People's Party actually gathered the people who participated in the "rebellion" near Longzi Lake first. There were more than 300 people who came this time, all of whom were poor people who could not survive.

"Blind dates, we're going to fight Fengyang Mansion now. The purpose of our attack on Fengyang Mansion was not to kill officials and rebel, and second, not to rob grain and money. We attacked Fengyang Mansion in order to give the people a way to live. Since the flood, have you ever eaten a mouthful of the government's relief food? Before the floods, did the government give everyone any benefits in addition to collecting taxes? We will fight Fengyang Mansion, and in the future, it will be our People's Party that will organize the official government, and everyone will never be bullied again. Because our People's Party is the army of the people. ”

One by one, the people hugged the potatoes in their hands, listening to these inexplicable words, but they didn't know how to respond. Most of these people are young people, and they are also desperate people. The reason why I came to participate in this rebellion was because I was forced to live. After attacking Fengyang Mansion, he was ready to grab some food and money for his life. I didn't expect these people to let me.
