Chapter 774 Zhuo's landlord

After the battle of Yin Ji, the first regiment of the sect killed Lingbi City, and the soldiers of the second regiment of the sect were divided into two routes, all the way to the east by boat, all the way to the east along the road, and the mighty slaughter to Si County.

The remnants of the Japanese puppet army in the Hugou stronghold and the Dalu stronghold were still in the dark, and they didn't know that their end had come until the Eighth Route Army arrived.

At this time, Gao Yuan and Cheng Cuilin personally led the new 1st Brigade, the new 2nd Regiment, and the new 3rd Regiment to attack Gaolou and Zhuowei. Zhou Yi, the adviser chief of the 1st Brigade, commanded and commanded the cavalry battalion, an artillery battalion, an armored regiment and a new regiment of the 1st Brigade to attack the stronghold of Shicun and eliminate the puppet army Hu Zepu in Shicun.

The reason why Gao Yuan and Cheng Cuilin personally led two regiments to kill the high-rise area at the junction of Suining and Lingbi was because there were famous high-rise landlords and Zhuowei landlords, and the granaries were full of grain.

Zhuo Wei's Zhuo landlord, from the Qing Dynasty to the present, has dominated the premises for more than 100 years. In its heyday, it controlled more than 20 large market towns, more than 100 villages, across the two provinces of Jiangsu and Anhui Lingbi, Si County, Suining three counties, more than 100 miles of Fangyuan, annexed more than 77,000 acres of land, Hengyu Zhuowei alone reached more than 1,300 rooms, every summer and autumn two seasons, collect land rent of 30,000 or 40,000 stones, fill 70 or 80 granaries.

The reason why Zhuowei landowners made a fortune was also to take the road of combining power and land. During the Daoguang period, Zhuo Wei Datianzhu produced a powerful person, that is, Zhuo Tingmao, who was very scheming and encouraged his nephews to write. One of his nephews is named Zhuo Zhenqing, and he really did not disappoint his hopes, and he has been a magistrate of Hanchuan, Hanyang, Xingguo, Guangji, Wengyuan, Jieyang and other places, and has also served as a former supervisor and beheader who specializes in murder. In this way, the nephew is an official outside, and while making money, he also holds up an umbrella for the family. Zhuo Tingmao relied on his nephew's power to forcibly seize his hometown and amass land on a large scale. That's not all, Zhuo Tingmao's family has a big business, out of the consideration of protecting his family's life, he began to hold group exercises, and let his son Zhuo Zhen serve as the fifth place of the training director, and since then he has mastered a landlord's army.

After the outbreak of the Taiping Rebellion, the Zhuo family built a polder and held on, and the Zhuo landlords' armed forces assisted the government in fighting against the Taiping Army and the Twist Army, suppressed the peasant uprising, and withstood the actual combat tempering.

At this time, the head of the Zhuo family landlord was Zhuo Tingmao's grandson Zhuo Laoyan. This old tool, in order to protect his own wealth, even lost his arm in the national righteousness, and fell into the arms of the Japanese puppet, and assumed the responsibility of the puppet eighteen wei joint security director. His sons and nephews Zhuo Shaoquan and Zhuo Peijun are pseudo district heads, and Zhuo Jishi is a pseudo town mayor, full of traitors.

After so many years of operation, the Zhuo landlords armed built a wooden city and a deer village in Zhuowei, dug a polder with a width of more than two zhang and a depth of more than two zhang, and built nine strong fortresses and fifteen bunkers, forming a solid defense system.

Lao Cangsheng called the bunker established by the Zhuo clan landlord as a tortoise.

Historically, our army initiated the battle of attacking Zhuo Wei on the night of May 9, 1945, and fought fiercely until the night of the 10th before rushing into the Wei, eliminating the stubborn army in the Wei and fighting against the Zhuo family landlord. However, during the War of Liberation, Zhuo Laotie, the landlord of the Zhuo clan who had fled abroad, and Zhuo Daimin organized a return to their hometown regiment and a black killing team, and took advantage of the opportunity of our army's evacuation of Zhuo Wei to return to their hometown to carry out a counterattack, and only 13 cadres were shot and buried alive. It was not until the end of the Huaihai Campaign and the complete liberation of Zhuo Wei that the Zhuo landlords were suppressed.

On the morning of this day, Zhuo Laoyan, the director of the puppet eighteenth Wei joint security and the old landowner, wore a purple Hangzhou silk trousers, sat on the Taishi chair, and listened to the account room report on the collection of rent this summer.

The bookkeeper was a thin old man, with a pair of stone mirrors on his face, holding a thick account book, standing in front of Zhuo Laoyan, and was telling one by one.

According to Mr. Ledger, this year's rent is too small, less than 70% of previous years. The main reason is that many Zhuangzi were slaughtered during the Japanese sweep, and many farmers died.

Although Zhuo Laoyan is a traitor, he is definitely not a person who does not understand practice, after listening to Mr. Ledger's words, he calculated silently for a while, and then told Mr. Ledger to increase the intensity of rent collection, and let the joint defense team collect it if not. Any farmer who dares to resist rent or evade rent will be arrested and sent to the Suining City Gendarmerie to see if they dare to resist rent and evade rent. As for the cultivated land that has been abandoned because of the death of the cultivators, it is necessary to rent it out as soon as possible, so as not to affect next year's harvest. The great cause of the family is very difficult, the imperial army needs food and money, the joint defense team needs food, and the whole family also has to eat and drink. If you can't collect the rent, how can you live this life?

After Mr. Nuo Nuo stepped back, Zhuo Lao Yan sat alone in a chair and thought about his thoughts silently. Although the Eighteen Wei Joint Protection Organization was established, he also became the director, and also established the district office and the town office, but the Lingbi County Government also fled here. Is this high-rise ground Li Dongyi of the Lingbi County Government or himself?

Thinking of this problem, Zhuo Laoyan wanted his son to find the Japanese army in the stronghold of the main road, so that they could sweep the high-rise area and completely wipe out the gang of people in the Lingbi County Government.

On second thought, forget it. In these days, there are many ways to provoke less enemies. The reformed Li Dongyi and his gang were also very knowledgeable, and they only ran training classes and shouted anti-Japanese slogans, and they did not pose any substantive threat to themselves. As soon as the wind blows, they will flee to other places.

What really annoyed Zhuo Laoyan was that there was the Eighth Route Army in the Tingsu County area, and there seemed to be people on the ground in Lingbei. These bold people are very bold, and they get together with the poor ghosts every day, shouting the slogan of rent reduction and interest reduction, and they may pull the team one day. In case they pull up the starting team, they will definitely lead the Eighth Route Army in the Suxian area to Lingbei, and this high-rise area will not be quiet. Thinking about his so many granaries, Zhuo Laoyan felt bottomless. In these years, if there is food, there is everything, and the poor ghosts are probably already aiming at their own food, but they don't have guns in their hands, and they are just doing their best. If the Eighth Route Army comes, will they be able to keep their own food?

Zhuo Laoyan couldn't sit still, and felt that he should go to Suining City, meet the county governor Xia Shuowu, and ask him to show the imperial army if he could give himself a name, set up a regular army, and send a few imperial army instructors to help train. If the imperial army did not allow the formation of a regular army, he would secretly contact Sun Jiazhao and Wang Yuwen of the Suining Security Regiment in Suining County, and let them come to garrison Zhuowei. No matter what, with those people stationed here, the Eighth Route Army would not dare and would not move Zhuo Wei.

Zhuo Laoyan called the housekeeper and asked him to go to the district to have a look, and let the son who was the head of the district go home and discuss something.

After the housekeeper left, Zhuo Laoyan took out a cigarette, and the maid Cuicui stepped forward to light it for him with a match, and turned around to pour tea.

After smoking a cigarette, taking the herbal tea brought by Cuicui, and drinking a cup, Zhuo Laoyan felt comfortable, and his eyes couldn't help but aim at Cuicui's bulging chest.

Cuicui is 17 years old this year, wearing a Hangzhou silk short-sleeved shirt with long braids on her chest, looking much younger and more beautiful than Zhuo Laoyan's third aunt.

For Cuicui, Zhuo Laoyan was originally planning to collect the house. Now that he is going to the Japanese army to ask for a number, Zhuo Laoyan has a plan in his heart. With Cuicui's appearance, if it is given to the officers of the Japanese army, it may be possible to win a batch of munitions.

Living in the house of the owner of Zhuo Wei, Cuicui's world is actually very narrow, and he doesn't know much about the changes outside. She only has the old master and the young master in her eyes, and she knows that they are all powerful people, both powerful and powerful, and the food at home is too much to eat and eat, so she can catch whoever she wants, and bury whoever she wants alive.

People are very complicated, although this Zhuo landlord dominates the premises, but he also has time to do some good things, just like Zhuo Wei's education is at the forefront of the Suzhou-Anhui divide area. According to reports, this Zhuowei is the earliest place to run education in the entire Suzhou-Anhui divide area, and it has also cultivated many talents in the future.

According to Cuicui, she is the maid of Zhuo Lao Yan's family, and she should have a grudge against Zhuo Lao Yan's family. But things are so strange, this girl follows Zhuo Laoyan, eats well, dresses well, and after a long time, she actually has the idea of climbing high branches. No, feeling Zhuo Lao's stern and confused eyes, Cuicui was not only not annoyed, but secretly happy in her heart, standing there with her head down, her hands caressing the braids, her face and neck were covered with redness.

Zhuo Laoyan looked at it for a while and felt that the peaches were ripe, and it was time to try them. Even if you want to give it to the Japanese army, you have to taste it yourself before sending it!

Pretending to cough majestically, Zhuo Lao Yan said: "Cuicui, come in with me, the master has good tools to see." ”

How did Cuicui know that the master had decided to give her as a gift to the Japanese army, and thought that something good was coming, so she lowered her head and followed Zhuo Lao Yan into the bedroom.

As soon as he entered, Zhuo Lao Yan hugged Cuicui. He is a landowner, although he has always pretended to be unsmiling in the past, full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, but he has money, food and guns, and he has done a lot of bad things, and there is no fear in his mind at all. This one hugged Cuicui into the bad, pushed it directly on the bed, and then pounced.

Cuicui is very well developed, plump rufang, purple grapes, the body is smooth and tender like Zhuo Lao Yan drinks, and Zhuo Lao Yan is touching, biting and gnawing.

It's a pity that Zhuo Laoyan is getting older, and no matter how anxious he is, he may not cooperate with that work. Cuicui is a yellow flower girl, no matter how willing she is, she is also very shy, and she will not give Zhuo Laoyan fun. Zhuo Laoyan played for a while, but he couldn't get up, and slowly rubbed the work, wanting to swell quickly and explore the scenery.

While they were rubbing, there was the sound of gunfire outside. Immediately afterward, the butler stumbled in and shouted, "Master, it's a good thing, the Eighth Route Army has come in." Run! ”

Zhuo Laoyan no longer has an evil heart, and he was so shocked that he sat on the ground.

Cuicui was still young, three times five divided by two, put on clothes, got out of bed and pulled up Zhuo Laoyan, and helped him outside.

At this time, Zhuo's mansion was already in chaos, and women and children were crying and running around.

Seeing the housekeeper's panicked face, Zhuo Lao was stern and asked, "Where did the Eighth Route Army come from?" ”

The housekeeper was so frightened that he peed his pants, and trembled: "Master, let me go to the district to invite the young master, I didn't go far when I saw an army rushing towards Zhuo Wei." I hurriedly ran back, and as soon as I ran into the polder, the Eighth Route Army outflanked Zhuo Wei. ”

Zhuo Laoyan has never seen the Eighth Route Army! At this time, he had regained his composure, listening to the gunfire and artillery outside, and estimated in his heart that it was really the regular army of the Eighth Route Army, and it seemed that Zhuo Wei could not hold it. Thirty-six plans to go up, you have to run quickly.

With a certain idea in his heart, Zhuo Laoyan immediately asked the housekeeper to organize the joint defense team, and all of them entered the fortress, the dark fort, and the polder wall, and fought hard.

In order to cheer up the housekeeper, Zhuo Laoyan pretended to be calm, and he was not afraid of the Eighth Route Army, but was the Taiping Army and the Twist Army fierce in the past? Didn't they also take the well-fortified Zhuo Wei without an example? The Eighth Route Army is the same, it will also be bloody in Zhuo Wei.

As soon as the housekeeper left, Zhuo Laoyan told his eldest wife to pack up and prepare to escape.

If it were an ordinary army, it might really make Zhuo Lao Yan run disappointed. Because Zhuo Wei was built by the Zhuo family, after operating for so many years, there will definitely be facilities such as tunnels, just in case. It's a pity that it was Gao Yuan, the commander of the First Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, Cheng Cuilin, the political commissar of the First Brigade and the commander of the New First Brigade, who didn't even pay attention to Taiyuan City, Tianjin City, and Jinan City, not to mention Zhuo Wei?

Sure enough, before Zhuo Laoyan's family could prepare the fine softness, his group of joint defense teams surrendered.

The Eighth Route Army attacked Zhuo Wei, where the Zhuo clan had been entrenched for more than 100 years.

By the time Gao Yuan and Cheng Cuilin walked into Zhuo Laoyan's courtyard, Zhuo Laoyan had already been tied up by the soldiers and put on the ground.

The plateau can be regarded as well-informed, but when he saw the grandeur of the Zhuo family, he couldn't help but say: "I, a horse in the northeast of Anhui, should be rich in the people of Fufu, but there are so many people who flee the famine and ask for food." It turned out that the money and grain were concentrated in the hands of these landowners! ”

Cheng Cuilin smiled: "The world is as black as a crow." If it weren't for these landlords, maybe they wouldn't have been with the Red Army! ”

The two of them smiled and went to the main hall where Zhuo Laoyan was entertaining, and after sitting down, Gao Yuan asked someone to bring Zhuo Laoyan and asked, "Is it the traitor Zhuo Laoyan?" ”

As soon as he heard the word traitor, Zhuo Laoyan woke up suddenly, knowing that the crime of going north, the Eighth Route Army was likely to take his own life. Busy arguing: "The main seat of the Eighth Route Army, I am Zhuo Laoyan, and I am indeed the director of the Eighteenth Wei Joint Insurance. However, I am not a traitor, and I am doing this job to protect the territory and the people. ”

Gao Yuan looked at Zhuo Laoyan, who was trying his best to defend himself, forced a smile, and said, "Okay, how many benefits did the devil give him as the director of the Eighteen Wei Joint Insurance?" ”

Zhuo Laoyan blurted out: "Taijun didn't give any benefits, but asked for money and food." ”

Gao Yuan laughed: "Why did you have to be in the beginning today?" Zhuo Laoyan, the Eighth Route Army announced the confiscation of all wealth in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations of the Republic of China government on the punishment of traitors. This is the retribution of a traitor! Pull it down! ”

After the soldiers dragged Zhuo Laoyan down, Gao Yuan and Cheng Cuilin commanded the army to begin to inventory the wealth of the Zhuo clan's landlords. This inventory, Rao is mentally fully prepared, or it surprised Gao Yuan and Cheng Cuilin. In Zhuowei Village, there are eighty-two granaries alone, and each granary is full of bells. Some of the grain appears to have been stored for several years.

More than a few people starved to death, and the old grain in the granary of the Zhuo family has not yet been exhausted. This year, this world!

Cheng Cuilin's happy eyes were about to burst into laughter, and he directly dictated the telegram to Liu Yimin, which turned out to be the same as when Gao Yuan captured the Japanese weapons and equipment in Tanggu Port, and as soon as he came up, he said, "Division commander, we have made a fortune!" The granary of the owner of Zhuowei Daye belongs to us, and the grain is too much to weigh, and there are tens of millions of catties at the less, which is enough to teach the first brigade and the new brigade to eat for a year. ”

Liu Yimin's call back soon arrived, instructing Gao Yuan and Cheng Cuilin to quickly occupy the high-rise building. The high-rise landlord of the Gao family is also a traitor, and he has more power and control a larger land area than the Zhuo landlord of Zhuo Wei, so he should be richer and more grain than the Zhuo landlord. At the same time, Liu Yimin demanded that Gao Yuan and Cheng Cuilin put down the main shelf, and while sweeping through northeast Anhui, they resolutely confiscated all the property of the traitor landowners, instigated the masses, divided the grain and fields, and let the masses in northeast Anhui achieve liberation. Or is it the old saying, what is the main force? The main force is not only a combat team that tackles tough positions and conquers passes, but also a task force that does mass work. At all times, we must keep in mind that the old people are the inexhaustible source of our army's growth and strength.

At this time, the landlords of the Zhuo family were all arrested by the Eighth Route Army, and the soldiers had already begun to interrogate and dig up floating wealth.

Zhuo Laoyan's wealth is too much. It has been in business for more than 100 years, so much land, and controls more than 20 towns and villages. In addition, the grain transaction alone has brought countless wealth to the Zhuo family. Boatloads of grain are sold to major cities through the Sui River and canals. Coupled with other business activities and cunning and plundering, that wealth makes ordinary people sound astronomical. No, in Zhuo Laoyan's house, not only the title deeds of 77,000 acres of land were found, but also a large number of house coupons including Anqing, Hefei, Xuzhou, Bengbu and surrounding counties. What frightened Gao Yuan and Cheng Cuilin the most was that in addition to gold bars, silver dollars, and fiat currency, there were many high-end consumer goods that had only been seen in Tianjin. Like French wines, there are a lot of them in Zhuo Laoyan's warehouse.

Gao Yuan sighed: "No wonder Zhuo's Tianzhu is full of traitors. With so much wealth, if you are not a traitor, you will fall into the pockets of the Japanese army. ”

Cheng Cuilin Plateau's wrong, being a traitor is a matter of popularity, which has something to do with wealth, but it is not an absolute factor. There are more people who are richer than Zhuo Laoyan, and they are not all traitors. He was a rich man at best.

Gao Yuan shook his head, wittily, but fortunately, he was a traitor and provided us with an opportunity to confiscate his land and distribute it to the landless peasants. Otherwise, it can only be done according to the rent and interest reduction policy, and the old landlord will still ride on the old man's head to and pee.

The occupation of Zhuowei and high-rise buildings not only seized a large amount of grain and assets, but more importantly, awakened the people of northeastern Anhui. Then the powerful Gao landlords and Zhuo landlords were all arrested by the Eighth Route Army, the granaries were opened, and many cultivators became the owners of the land in the subsequent division of land. At this time, the image of the Eighth Route Army took root in northeast Anhui. No matter who or what force it is, it will no longer be able to drive the Eighth Route Army out of the old people's heart.

Dear book friends: The mountain people went out for business, sorry friends. Bow down and apologize to everyone. I'm sorry!
