Section 2 The Battle After the War XI

The third part of the Bloody War of Resistance, Chapter 9, the second section, the battle after the war

"300,000 catties of grain, Brigade Commander Li, our Qi family's grain depot doesn't have so much grain. \\。 The account room glanced at Master Qi and said tentatively: "I heard that the general is Commander Zhuang's old subordinate, and our master wants to invite him to a meal." ”

"I can tell you this, but, Master Qi, you can give me an accurate word about these 300,000 catties of grain." Li Jixiong had a feeling that a catastrophe was coming, he forced his anxiety and slowed down his tone, if he didn't care about the identity of the other party, he would never be so polite.

Li Jixiong's anxiety has already been seen clearly by Master Qi, although Master Qi has not seen Zhuang Jihua, but he knows a lot about Zhuang Jihua, when Shangqiu implemented social reforms, rent and interest reduction, Master Qi got the news from Shangqiu's friends, and had a preliminary judgment on Zhuang Jihua, the eldest son who was serving in Wuhan at that time was worried about Qi County's rent and interest reduction, and specially sent a letter to his family, telling him that if Qi County wants to reduce rent and interest rates, he must be in front, and must not conflict with Zhuang Jihua.

This letter left a deep impression on Master Qi, this letter revealed two meanings, Zhuang Jihua is very strong, his son can't count on it, but 300,000 catties of grain, this appetite is too big, even if the Qi family can take it, it will hurt the muscles and bones, this must not be promised.

"General Li, our Qi family is doing business legally, we agreed to exchange one pound for three pounds, we are at a loss," Master Qi finally spoke, he said slowly: "Henan Sangzi was affected by the disaster, I feel the same way, but my Qi family is also deeply affected, last year's rent was not harvested, this year it seems that it will not be collected, General Zhuang wants us to take 300,000 catties of grain, the old man can't take it, although the old man is old, but the national government staff still know a few, the government also has a few friends, if General Zhuang wants to plant a crime, My Qi family is not so easy to bully. ”

Man dies for wealth, and birds die for food; Li Jixiong had this thought in his heart, Old Man Qi seemed to be old, and he really didn't know who Zhuang Wenge was. He wanted to get up and leave, but when he went back like this, he knew what the result would be with his toes. Now that his position as brigade commander has been suspended, the collapse of the Qi family will definitely implicate him.

"Hmph, old man, don't blame me for speaking badly." Li Jixiong sneered twice, and his anger flashed: "There is no food in the grain stores in the city, what kind of idea do you always have, I know, don't you just want these people to eat relief food, you may have calculated, if you count the residents of the city, the current relief grain will be eaten for a month at most, the summer grain is not served, the old grain is eaten up, at that time, the price of grain has risen sharply, at least double on the current basis, you have put down hundreds of thousands of catties of grain, at least you can earn millions of oceans, but, I'm afraid you can't think of it, I want to go out like this, three days, at most three days, The crime of hoarding Juqi will be deducted from your head, and Commander Zhuang will dare to copy this Qi family compound, do you believe it? ”

"The world of the Republic of China is bright and clear, and he can turn his hands into clouds and rain in the Cultural Revolution?" The housekeeper sneered twice: "My Qi family is not easy to bully." ”

"I don't know what to do" Li Jixiong scolded secretly, this Qi family has been in business for a hundred years, how did the famous century-old family on the ground in Henan come out with such a stupid person in the end, the old man Qi seems to be really old, he really thinks that his hundreds of people can fight against the million-strong army under the Zhuang Cultural Revolution, stupid

"Master Qi, I have been suspended, there are more than 100,000 victims inside and outside the city, at this time, Commander Zhuang is going to raid your home, even the chairman of the committee can't save you."

Li Jixiong's words became whiter and whiter, and his tone became heavier and heavier, but what made him helpless was that Old Man Qi did not give in at all, Li Jixiong was so good at talking, and finally agreed to donate 50,000 catties of grain, and then refused to make concessions.

After Ming Zheng left, Zhuang Jihua stayed in the porridge field for a while, got in the car and left the porridge field, he originally did not plan to stay in Qi County, and now he had to spend some time in Qi County to see.

There was an emptiness in the Qixian county government, the former county magistrate of Qixian County abandoned his post and fled with the evacuation of the Japanese army, most of the county staff stayed behind, and the new county magistrate was a regiment commander under the 257 Brigade, named Wu Tianming. When Zhuang Jihua arrived, Wu Tianming was not in the county government, he waited for about ten minutes, and Wu Tianming and the two young men hurriedly walked into the county government.

Seeing the two generals standing in the backyard of the county government chatting, Wu Tianming quickly found out who Zhuang Jihua was, walked quickly to Zhuang Jihua and saluted him, and the two young people also followed him.

"This is Xing Guobin, director of the county party department, and this is Wei Kuo, chairman of the Qi County Salvation Association." Wu Tianming introduced to Zhuang Jihua.

Zhuang Jihua looked them up and down, he knew that the director of the county party department was Jiang Jingguo's person, and the National Salvation Association was controlled by the third party, but the two young people seemed to be relatively harmonious.

"Tell me about it." Zhuang Jihua didn't greet them, and the situation of starting in the porridge field in the north of the city made him dare not easily believe the three people in front of him.

"The situation is not good," Wu Tianming said frankly: "The grain can barely be used until the beginning of July, and the main reason is that many of the victims who have received grain are forced to hand over relief grain to the landlords after returning to their hometowns to make up for last year's rent, and they have to return to the city." ”

"It's not the beginning of July, it's probably the beginning of June," Wei Kuo interjected, "and now there are still a small number of victims who have returned to the city, and once the actions of those landlords are not punished, other landlords will follow suit, and the number of victims returning to the city will be even greater, and I estimate that it is likely to increase by 100,000 people." ”

"What is the opinion of the party department?" Zhuang Jihua asked Xing Guobin again.

"Commander, those black-hearted landlords must be severely punished," Xing Guobin was transferred from Hubei, and was originally the secretary general of the Three Youth League in Fang County, and this time Jiang Jingguo directly transferred him to Henan to serve as the director of the county party department, which is undoubtedly an important step in his career.

Under the deliberate cultivation of Chiang Ching-kuo, the Three Youth League has always maintained a vigorous state, these young people are full of enthusiasm, and the most despised is the Central Party Department, and the most radical view is that the Central Party Department is already old, and many cadres are rotten and degenerate, and the world should let them organize the Three Youth League.

Although Xing Guobin is not so radical, he is still relatively radical in Fang County, so he was suppressed by the Fang County Party Department, which made him feel constrained in everything, and now he finally deliberately let go of his hands and feet.

"This is the food that the government has distributed to the victims, and they dare to take it, they are extremely greedy." When he mentioned this, Xing Guobin was indignant and excited.

"What actions are planned there?" Feeling that these three people were not involved in Li Jixiong's incident, Zhuang Jihua felt a little relieved, so he asked.

Xing Guobin and Wei Kuo exchanged glances, obviously they had discussed the way, Xing Guobin took a step forward: "First of all, in the name of the county government, the order is to exempt this year's land rent, in the past, the tenants are not allowed to change, and next year will start to implement rent reduction and interest reduction in the province, and any land rent shall not be higher than 30%. ”

"There are also grain merchants in the city, the price of grain is stipulated, and anyone who is higher than this price will be convicted, and these profiteers will be cleaned up with heavy codes in troubled times." Wei Kuo's tone was ruthless, revealing a murderous aura.

Zhuang Jihua was silent, Xiao Zhenying remained silent, he had already guessed that Zhuang Jihua would definitely kill in Qi County. Now that I have met such two young people, the head of the regiment next to him does not seem to be a good stubble, and these landlord grain merchants in Qixian County have hit the steel plate this time.

"Palace Secretary, record." Zhuang Jihua turned his head and called the palace embroidery: "In view of the serious drought in Henan, some landlords forced the victims to pay the rent with the distributed relief grain, which is a frenzied behavior, and must be severely cracked down. If they do not comply, they will have their homes raided, their property confiscated, and they will be investigated for the crimes of sabotage and disaster relief and sabotage of the Anti-Japanese War. Those who fail to do so should be held accountable by the magistrates. This order, Zhuang Jihua, commander of the Jiangbei Theater Command. ”

Xing Guobin and Wei Kuo exchanged eyes excitedly, if it weren't for Zhuang Jihua's presence, they would probably have jumped up and cheered, Wu Tianming maintained the seriousness of a soldier, and only a slight smile appeared on his face.

"Do you know what's going on around you?" Zhuang Jihua waited and asked the three of them again.

"It's already mastered," Xing Guobin replied first, in the past few days, the three of them have been carrying Li Jixiong inside and outside the city, that is, to investigate the bottom of the Qi family, and now that Shang Fang's sword is in hand, they are already a little impatient: "The largest landlord in Qi County is the Qi family, and the first to force the victims to pay rent is also the Qi family, and the largest grain merchant in the city is also the Qi family, and all the surrounding landlords and grain merchants are looking at the Qi family's horse, so the first knife must be cut on the Qi family, as long as the Qi family is defeated, the situation will be opened." ”

"I have figured out the situation of the Qi family, the Qi family has three grain depots, about 300,000 catties of grain, in addition, the Qi family has a family Ding regiment, about 200 armed people, he has contact with the local bandit Cao Shangfei, his eldest son is Lieutenant General Qi Qigong of the Military Command Department, the second son..." Wu Tianming introduced the situation of the Qi family again.

After he finished his introduction, Zhuang Jihua reached out to Gong Xiuhua and asked for a pen and paper and wrote a warrant to him, "Warrant, the 257 Brigade XXXX Regiment will be assigned to the command of Wu Tianming, and the 257 Brigade must fully cooperate with the work of Commander Wu Tianming." ”

After Wu Tianming raised his head, Zhuang Jihua said calmly: "The commander of the 257th Brigade, Li Jixiong, has been suspended, I don't care about the specific actions, Commander Wu, Director of Criminal Affairs, President Wei, you discuss the action plan, I only have one request, I will raid the Qi family today." ”

"Yes"

"Please rest assured, Commander"

"Guaranteed to get the job done"

In the evening of the same day, Wu Tianming's soldiers were divided into three routes, one route led by Xing Guobin, and raided the Qi family's grain depot outside the city. The second route was led by Wei Kuo and raided all the grain stores and other shops of the Qi family in the city; On the third road, Wu Tianming led a reinforced company to surround the Qi family's compound and detain everyone inside, including Li Jixiong, who was still trying to persuade the old man Qi.
