The sound of gunfire from Renhuai City last night naturally couldn't hide from the people outside the city. It's just that with the implementation of strict entry and exit controls by the independent regiment, many people don't know what happened in Renhuai City last night.

The only thing known is that the soldiers on the city walls seem to have changed their uniforms. But not the Red Army, as they feared, but the Central Army, which has been seen so often lately. For a while, the people outside the city were also curious, where did the Qianjun army in the city go?

Just when the people in the city felt that these central armies that suppressed the rebellion did not seem to be as terrifying as they imagined. The reconnaissance company, which had just finished lunch, began to carry out the policy of fighting local tyrants according to He Zhengdao's orders.

In the past, in the eyes of many people, the gentry who had a relationship with the Central Army and the Guizhou Army were dragged out of their homes by these uninvited guests with guns. Such a move naturally attracted many onlookers in the city.

'Ahh Isn't this County Magistrate Wang? What are these soldiers doing with him? Looking like this, it looks like you're still raiding your home! ’

'Good copy! This damn king peels the skin, and there is still today! ’

As the county magistrate of Renhuai City, Wang Fugui never thought that one day he would be raided by the Central Army. Faced with the charges given by the arresting officer, Wang Fugui seemed very panicked and wronged.

"Did you make a mistake?" he yelled. How can I get through the Red Bandits? I am the county magistrate, the county magistrate appointed by the government of the Republic of China! ”

In response to Wang Fugui's shouting, Li Xiangdong, who led the team, said coldly: "It is precisely because you are the county magistrate that we raided your home!" The Qianjun who participated in the rebellion last night have all confessed, if you feel wronged, go and tell our division commander! ”

Ignoring Wang Fugui's loud shouting of grievances, Li Xiangdong looked at the rest of the Wang family, and still said very coldly: "Before the matter is clarified, you people are not allowed to go out at will." If you dare to disobey military orders, you will be punished as a gangster! ”

After saying this, the housekeeper of the palace also said carefully: "Sir, will you make a mistake?" How can we, the county magistrate, who are loyal to the party and the state, fornicate with the red bandits? ”

'What? Do you suspect we caught the wrong person? Do you want to take you into the barracks and interrogate you? ’

As soon as these words came out, the housekeeper also shut up sensibly. I could only watch these soldiers, who had the same cold expressions, pack all the money accumulated by the Wang family and take them away. This money must be begged for or not returned!

As Wang Fugui was the first to be arrested, the four soldiers with guns directly took care of the courtyard where he lived. Pulling the stolen money, the officers and soldiers of the reconnaissance company escorted Wang Fugui back to the barracks.

As for the other people, they also quickly arrested some of the rich and unkind officials and gentry in Renhuai City. Only the gentleman who usually has a good reputation seems to have escaped luckily.

In such a situation where the city gates were blocked and soldiers patrolled the entire county. No one dared to resist, and the officers and men of the reconnaissance company carried weapons to raid their homes. Some of the gentlemen and merchants who were guarding the house also did not dare to easily move with the soldiers who raided the house.

In addition to arresting these gentlemen, their family's money was also stolen. As for the weapons and ammunition purchased, they are also included in the list of weapons and ammunition collected by the soldiers. In the face of this kind of city-wide arrest, many people feel that the situation seems to be a little wrong.

But for these people, they are glad that this is happening. The reason is very simple, these arrested officials and gentry are all rich and unkind guys. Seeing that these people were unlucky, the people all applauded in private.

Wang Fugui, who was taken into the barracks, was quickly sent to the interrogation room. Looking at the young commander of the National Army, Wang Fugui said directly: "Sir, I am really wronged!" I know Director Sun from your barracks! ”

As a result, Wang Fugui was stunned, and the young division commander who walked into the interrogation room said with a smile: "It seems that this guy really thinks that we are the Central Army?" Director Sun of the camp room? It seems that you are quite well-connected?

However, it is a pity that the harder your relationship with the Central Army is, the more important it will be for us to attack. Introduce yourself, He Zhengdao, commander of the Independent Division of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army. Now, do you still feel that you have been wronged? ”

'What? You, you are the Red Army! ’

Realizing that these people in front of them were not the Central Army at all, but the Red Army, which they feared the most. Originally, he thought that if he talked about the big man he was talking to, these central troops would send him home.

Now I know that the more big people he said, the faster he will die!

This situation is not only manifested in Wang Fugui. The same happened to other people who were arrested into the barracks. When they learned that these officers and soldiers wearing the uniforms of the Central Army turned out to be the Red Army, many people were dumbfounded.

But more than that, I am still worried about my own life!

After the interrogation, He Zhengdao detained some people who were extremely angry. For some people who are still guilty and do not die, He Zhengdao also wants to squeeze their family wealth clean. In his opinion, this is also considered to rob the rich and help the poor.

After finishing these things, He Zhengdao and Yao Shengjun came to the prisoner camp together. Looking at these nervous prisoners of the Qianjun army, He Zhengdao also knew that these prisoners were very worried about their fate.

Although many prisoners of the Guizhou Army knew that the Red Army carried out a policy of 'preferential treatment of prisoners'. But they all knew how many Red Army troops who moved to Guizhou were killed by the Nationalist army that participated in the encirclement and suppression along the way.

It's very possible for people to shoot them in the name of revenge!

Just when many prisoners were apprehensive in their hearts, He Zhengdao, who was standing in front of them, said with a calm expression: "Let me introduce myself, I am He Zhengdao, the division commander of the Independent Division of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, and the political commissar Yao of the Independent Division next to me is beside me.

I believe that at this moment, in your hearts, you want to know more or less about the handling of you by our Red Army. It's just that what I want to say is that I won't let you go easily. If I let you go, you'll turn your guns on us again.

Today, I came here with Political Commissar Yao to give you a chance to mend your ways. Maybe some of you have already guessed it. Yes, the best way to prevent you from becoming enemies of us again is for you to join our Red Army.

I'm a soldier and I'm very direct in my speech. Those who join the Red Army can leave with us when we leave Renhuai City. If you don't, I won't kill you, but I'll send you to the rear of our headquarters.

As for what the headquarters will do with you next, that's not something I can handle. Another thing I want to emphasize is that I don't like to be strong. Moreover, those who want to join must be vetted by the recruiting cadres of our independent division. ”

After saying these words, He Zhengdao quietly looked at these captives. Soon a prisoner raised his hand and said, "Sir He, I want to know, join your Red Army and pay a salary?" Is it that in the future, you will be able to eat three meals a day? ”

If someone observes carefully, they will find that this prisoner who raised his hand to ask was in the independent division some time ago. It's just that when the prisoners were held last night, he was changed into the uniform of the Qianjun army and blended into the ranks of the captives.

For this bold captive, many of the captives standing next to him felt very admired. But at the same time, they felt that this guy was asking what they wanted to know most. After all, it is also a matter of course to be a soldier who carries a gun and receives food for food.

As long as they can be paid and fed, many prisoners feel that there is really nothing to pick about who to carry a gun for!

Faced with such an inquiry, He Zhengdao quickly said: "It is also a matter of course for soldiers to lead the army and eat military rations. It's just that what I want to say is that at present, we, the Red Army, do not have the conditions to pay everyone.

If you know anything about the Red Army, you should know that in the eyes of the Central Army, we are a poor army called Hanako. Most of our money is spent on buying weapons and supplies for the army.

The entire independent division, including me, was the only one who had previously received a salary in the Soviet zone. On the way to Guizhou, we have no military salaries to pay. But what I can guarantee is that in the future, when we have a base area, we will also be paid military salaries.

As for whether you can manage three meals a day when you asked, I can't promise you either. All I can promise is that if I can eat something dry, I won't let you drink it thin. My subordinates can prove it for me! ”

Just when many people think that the military salary is not paid, and the food is not guaranteed. He Zhengdao continued: "Maybe in your opinion, it is a very natural thing for the army to be paid and eat military rations.

But I want to know, how many of you are paid every month? At the beginning, did the promised military salaries of the officers of the Qianjun Army who recruited you be paid in full? Also, can you really eat enough in the barracks?

As a soldier, if you want to lead the army to eat military rations, it seems to me that it is a very reasonable request. It's just that what I want to say is that if I can lead the salary, I promise not to deduct a penny from you. If I can eat dry food, I will never have more than one grain for you.

And have you ever thought about why you think that reasonable requests cannot be met in the Qianjun? Why are your officers able to eat and eat big meat, while you can only eat vegetables and drink porridge? Ever wondered why? ”

After some rhetorical questioning, many Qianjun also felt that what He Zhengdao said made them really powerless to refute. Although they are paid as soldiers in the Guizhou army, how much do they really receive?

Seeing these prisoners of the Qianjun army who began to be silent, He Zhengdao also felt that it was time to sacrifice the big killing weapon of 'complaining'. So in the end, how many prisoners will be willing to join the independent division and become the Red Army?
