"The development of the southwest is now at a critical stage, rent reduction and interest reduction is the main content of our current stage, we can not fail, failure, all the achievements of our hard work in the past three years will be in vain, the strength we have gathered through three years of hard work will be scattered, the society will return to the original rigid and loose state, the party style will continue to degenerate, we will return to the situation of bullying others," Zhuang Jihua warned at the beginning: "The reason why rent reduction and interest reduction is important, This is because this is an important means to mobilize the broad masses of peasants to take the lead in their surnames. The peasants are the main members of Chinese society, they bear the main taxes, soldiers, they produce food, they meet the needs of the country, they will form a majestic and mighty army, and a revolution without them is an unsuccessful revolution, an incomplete revolution,...

Ours is the enemy, not the enemy in the open, they hide in the shadows, and to this day we have two captains, seven members of the team have been killed, and twenty-two have been wounded. The enemy has launched a rampant attack on us, so what should we do? There is only one way, a more resolute counterattack, a more ruthless counterattack. Don't think that we have a way out, we have no way out, only to fight, to fight bravely, to mobilize the masses more fully, to mobilize the masses more boldly, to use the power of the masses to force them to make concessions, to force them to reduce rents and interest rates.

Comrades, be vigilant that the enemy will use all kinds of means against you, intimidate you with assassinations, and win you over with money and sex, and they will do everything they can to counter these means by strengthening the party's surname, raising their own consciousness, and defeating them with a strong organization and will.

…… Infinite scenery is in the dangerous peak, comrades, we are in the middle of the mountain, we are approaching the infinite dangerous peak, we must enjoy the infinite scenery above the dangerous peak. Comrades, hope is ahead, like the sun before dawn, which is about to erupt! ”

The next day, the front page of the imperial newspaper "Yuzhou Evening News" published Zhuang Jihua's article "Fighting Back Against the Enemy's Attack with All Efforts," in which the article called on all the people to launch a campaign to reduce rents and interest rates with great courage, and directly treated those who opposed rent and interest reductions as enemies.

The press circles in Yucheng lost their voice for a while, and immediately launched an all-out propaganda offensive under the auspices of Teng Jie, resolutely supporting the political axe to reduce rent and interest, and making every effort to counter the attack of the landlords and inferior gentry.

At the political axe work meeting, Zhuang Jihua asked Tang Zong and Li Haoyi to shift their strength to deal with Brother Pao and the landlords, and at the same time set a policy for Brother Pao: unite and enlighten the upper strata, win over the lower strata, and resolutely crack down on the stubborn upper strata.

The local task force that had long been full of anger began a large-scale counterattack, all the landlords who did not implement the rent reduction and interest reduction were punished, the boss of the robe brother in Gülen Town was ordered to hand over the murderer, and under the personal persecution of Tang Zong, the ghost Lao Liu, who fled to Fuling, was arrested, and then according to his confession, Wu Shupu, the first big landowner of Gülan, was arrested and then shot, his family property was confiscated into the public, and his son absconded outside Sichuan.

The movement is overwhelming, the momentum is suffocating, the smell of blood is getting stronger and stronger, and more than a dozen heads have landed in Changshou County alone. The clever gentry began to take the initiative to reduce rents and interest rates, and these gentry were then united into the county council and became political axe officials who were idle in their posts.

"Yang Sen has pleaded with me, many of his subordinates are landlords in eastern Sichuan, the army is beginning to be unstable, stop the Cultural Revolution!" After Yang Yongtai returned from Chengdu, he immediately approached Zhuang Jihua and demanded that this violent action be stopped.

"It's not time yet," Zhuang Jihua said coldly: "Yang Zihui will be dealt with by me, you don't have to worry, Sichuan Development Company, neither Yang Zihui nor Liu Xiang dare to act rashly." ”

"You," Yang Yongtai pointed at Zhuang Jihua, so angry that he couldn't speak: "Do you know that you are taking a risk!" Liu Xiang is using Yang Zihui as a gunman! ”

"I know that Liu Fucheng himself did not come forward, which means that he knows that it is powerful, and he is going to provoke me, Lao Tzu stopped the Sichuan Development Company and let them all drink the northwest wind!" Zhuang Jihua is unequivocal, he is not afraid of these powerful factions in Sichuan at all, the central army is about to enter Sichuan, he still has more than 10,000 people in his own hands, and the reserves of the sixteen counties of Yucheng can pull out 10,000 people in a week, 50,000 people in a month, there are more than 30,000 guns in the warehouse of the arsenal, hundreds of cannons, even if they come with the whole army, he is confident that he can hold it for a month. In this month, Xue Yue can climb to Chengdu even if he climbs.

"But do you know that these people are needed to suppress bandits in western Sichuan, and if they unite to put pressure on the chairman, do you think the chairman will give in?" Yang Yongtai approached Zhuang Jihua and asked almost like ants.

This sentence stabbed Zhuang Jihua's inner worry, and he hesitated a little before saying: "I reported the rent and interest reduction to the principal, he didn't object, he supported me to do it." ”

Having said that, there was obviously a lack of confidence in his tone, Yang Yongtai smiled faintly, he knew that he was right: "Cultural Revolution, to be honest, I value you very much, I always thought that your thinking was very clear and you could grasp yourself, but what happened this time?" I don't believe you don't know the principle of prioritization, press it, then loosen it, don't tighten the strings too tightly, sometimes it works better to take a step back. ”

Zhuang Jihua was silent, he knew that Yang Yongtai was right, after the Red Army withdrew from the siege, it quickly conquered Dechang, and then bypassed Xichang from the outskirts of Xichang and conquered Lugu County, Liu Wenhui and Liu Xiang hurriedly mobilized troops to gather in Fulin Luding, preparing to block the Red Army's attack on Chengdu, but the Red Army turned around and went northwest and entered the Yi area through Mianning.

"Chairman of the National Committee, I have telegraphed Liu Wenhui to strengthen the defense of the Dadu River crossing, especially the county seat of Luding. At this time, it is a critical moment to suppress bandits, and Liu Xiang and the others really want to propose to the chairman of the committee, I am afraid..., it is better to take the initiative now. Yang Yongtai talked eloquently, but Zhuang Jihua's mind was attracted by the word Luding that came out of his mouth.

That bridge, the only way to survive, Chiang Kai-shek actually let Liu Wenhui garrison with heavy troops? What's going on?

"The headmaster thinks the Red Army will go to Luding?" Zhuang Jihua couldn't help but ask.

"Not necessarily, but the chairman of the committee ordered Liu Wenhui to send heavy troops into Luding, and at the same time blow up the Luding Bridge."

This is like a thunderbolt exploding above Zhuang Jihua's head, blowing up his eyes and blowing up the Luding Bridge? Isn't the Communist Party over? History changed?

Zhuang Jihua was a little confused, and he asked hesitantly: "Blow up the Luding Bridge?" ”

"Well," Yang Yongtai didn't pay attention to the change in Zhuang Jihua's demeanor, he still wanted to continue to persuade Zhuang Jihua to temporarily back down: "Let Liu Xiang and Liu Wenhui go to fight, Xue Yue has already chased to Xichang in the back, and it is only a few days away from the Red Army, and Shi Dakai's defeat will be repeated." ”

Zhuang Jihua nodded carelessly, he didn't know what to say, but Yang Yongtai would be wrong, he thought that Zhuang Jihua had already moved, so he struck while the iron was hot and said: "After this period of blow, those landlords and gentry have learned the lesson, forgive them and dare not confront the working group anymore, now is the time to put rent reduction and interest reduction on the right track." ”

"Okay," Yang Yongtai persuaded hard, and finally made Zhuang Jihua nod: "The future process will be solved by law and the law enforcement authority of the working group will be cancelled." ”

"Okay," Yang Yongtai smiled with satisfaction, and he immediately further drew closer to the relationship between the two in a timely manner: "I heard that you have added a daughter, let's go, I'll take a look." ”

"What's so good, this little girl sleeps all day, but she is in good spirits at night, and she makes people uneasy." Zhuang Jihua said absent-mindedly.

"Haha, you now know that being a parent is not easy." Yang Yongtai smiled and said, "Let's go." ”

The two walked out of the municipal axe, but Zhuang Jihua was in a trance, the news of the bridge was too shocking, and his mind was still very confused.

"Be careful!" Wu Ziniu, who was walking in front, suddenly took two steps back and stopped Zhuang Jihua behind him, and the shell gun appeared in his hand, and he raised his hand to hit a man wearing a straw hat who appeared on the left, and then Wu Ziniu moved the muzzle of the gun and hit the two people behind him.

The sudden gunfire immediately alarmed the city government compound, and the crowd in the compound immediately fled with screams, and more than a dozen men armed with short guns appeared around them, and they struggled to shoot at the group of people at the gate.

The reaction of the three guards was very fast, as soon as Wu Ziniu's voice came out, they drew their guns in their hands, and two of the guards transferred from the special forces were even more incredible, they quickly hit the four people, but they flashed between the pillars with a few tactical moves.

Wu Ziniu threw Zhuang Jihua next to the flower bed, and the dense rain of bullets weighed them down so much that they couldn't raise their heads, "Cultural Revolution, save me." When he was nervous, Yang Yongtai's weak voice came, Zhuang Jihua didn't dare to raise his head, and listened to Yang Yongtai's moaning helplessly.

The bullet approached little by little, Wu Ziniu didn't dare to raise his head, so he had to raise his gun and shoot blindly, fortunately he first killed the three killers who came from the side, Zhuang Jihua had a nameless fire in his heart, Beiping was assassinated, and now he was assassinated in the lair, "Give me a gun!" He exclaimed angrily.

But no one paid attention to him, Wu Ziniu simply pressed on him, and the two guns shot fierce firepower, delaying the killer's action, and now the hope is on Lu Ruishan. Lu Ruishan came out first, he took two people to pick up the car, and when he heard the gunshots, he would naturally come back to support.

Sure enough, gunshots came from the side of the killers, and several killers who were struggling to shoot fell down, and between the gunfire, Lu Ruishan's stout figure flashed.

Hit by the flanks, as soon as the killer's suppressive firepower was relaxed, Wu Ziniu jumped up, the two guns took turns firing, and the two guards hiding between the pillars also took the opportunity to strengthen their firepower, and as a result of the suppression on both sides, the killer was a little flustered, they fought and retreated, but Wu Ziniu did not chase, but pulled Zhuang Jihua, grabbed him and rushed to the building, Zhuang Jihua broke free from him, and reflexively picked up Yang Yongtai and ran.

The attack was short, after Zhuang Jihua and the others rushed into the Municipal Axe Building, the killers also began to retreat, Zhuang Jihua immediately wondered, it had been five or six minutes, why hadn't the guards of the building appeared yet?
