Chapter 159: The Struggle of the Reactionaries and Revolutionaries 3

86_86695 "I think that for us, if a person, an organization, an army, or a school, if it is not opposed by the enemy, it is not good, it must be in the same league as the enemy. ”

"If the enemy opposes it, that's good, and it proves that we have drawn a line of line with the enemy."

"It would be even better if the enemy vigorously opposed us and said that we were a mess and useless, and that we had not only drawn a line of demarcation with the enemy, but also proved that we had done our very good work."

-- 1622, Wang Shuhui, "It is Necessary to Resolutely Eliminate a Qiē Reactionary"

Disaster relief efforts are troublesome. Because being a human being is the most complicated job.

After drinking the two large bowls of mush provided by the revival society, the strength of most people began to gradually recover. It cannot but be said that the vitality of our Chinese is very strong.

Wu Chaoye finished eating two bowls of mush, and his stomach felt a little full, but his heart began to get anxious. After recovering his body, Wu Chaoye began to care about the whereabouts of his children. In the chaos of the morning, his own child went missing. I heard a person from the same clan say that his child seems to have been taken away by the person who takes care of the meal.

To tell the truth, Wu Chaoye was very afraid of the soldiers of the Renaissance Army who were standing next to this group of people, wearing gray semi-short robes, gray hats, armed belts, and bayonets and muskets on their backs.

His fear of the Baath Army was due to two reasons. The first is the same psychology as all other ordinary people. When I see a soldier, especially a soldier who kills people very well, I will always be afraid. The second reason is that Wu Chaoye recognized the group of people who ran out to attack the soldiers of the Renaissance Army.

At that time, when the Baath Army was counterattacking the attackers, Wu Chaoye was near a platoon of Baxing Army soldiers. He saw with his own eyes that one of his distant relatives was beaten to the ground by the soldiers at a very long distance. Although as an ordinary person, Wu Chaoye did not understand the range of the firearm. However, as far as he could see, he still felt that the fire was very incredible.

Wu Chaoye is the same sect as Wu Chaozong. However, he is not from Wu Chaozong's branch. Like all large families, the Wu family, who has lived in Songzi for generations, is a very large family. Just like Wu Chaoye, although he is the same generation as Wu Chaozong, he is more than 20 years younger than Wu Chaozong, who is in his fifties, and is just in his early thirties this year.

Some people may think, since they are all members of the Wu family, how can someone be killed in charge of the family and someone become a refugee? Isn't there a clan in the clan that is dedicated to the relief of the clansmen?

That's a layman's term. There must be these things in the clan fields. But just like state-owned enterprises in modern society, they will become private property in a very strange form. These things are also managed by specific people. Since there are specific people to manage. Then the income generated by these clans and clans will naturally become personal.

For example, the Wu family's clan property. There are 5,000 acres of clan land alone. However, the clan field was bought by Wu Chaozong's grandfather, Wu Wending. Therefore, the production and operation of the clan field has always been controlled by Wu Chaozong's house. In this era, there was no system of democratic supervision and open accounting. The rest of the clan knows how much the clan produces and where it goes.

Wu Chaoye's grandfather and Wu Chaozong's grandfather were cousins. In his generation, Wu Chaoye has seen Wu Chaozong a limited number of times. The family is a big landlord and a wealthy gentry, and Wu Chaoye is just a homesteader with seven or eight acres of land at home. Wu Chaozong has more than 100,000 acres of land and does not need to pay a penny of national tax. Wu Chaoye had to borrow usury to pay high taxes and levies from the steward of Wu Chaozong's family.

Speaking of which, the Songzi Wu family refers to the family of Wu Chaozong. The other members of the Wu clan would not take advantage of Wu Chaozong at all. Wu Chaoye himself owed a large amount of usury to the Wu Chaozong family, which he couldn't afford to pay back at all.

Seeing that the soldiers of the Renaissance Army who were responsible for organizing everyone's meals looked relatively gentle, Wu Chaoye tentatively said to him: "This master, I want to ask, my child was separated in the morning. I've heard that you seem to have gathered a lot of people, and I don't know if my children are there. Can you help? ”

The little soldier who was questioned by Wu Chaoye was only seventeen years old this year, and he was originally from Huaibei. In addition to his own northern Anhui official dialect, he can only understand and speak Mandarin. Therefore, when he heard Wu Chaoye's question, he scratched his head unconsciously. He really couldn't understand what Wu Chaoye was saying. Therefore, while telling Wu Chaoye to wait in Mandarin, he shouted loudly to the soldiers who were in charge of eating another group of people to come and help.

The fighter in charge of the victims next to him was a native of Zhijiang, and after he finished his work, he immediately ran over to help. After listening to Wu Chaoye repeat his meaning again, he said to Wu Chaoye in the Jingzhou dialect, "Please wait a while, the list of injured and separated people over there has not yet been determined, you tell me the name of your child, and I will make a record." ”

Wu Chaoye hurriedly told the soldier the name of his child, and then he watched with very envious eyes as the soldier used a pencil to write down the name of his child in a small notebook.

Although Wu Chaoye was illiterate, he thought that literacy was a very noble thing. Based on this, he had a high opinion of the Renaissance Army. He felt that the warrior who recorded his child's name was clearly a big-headed soldier. However, a large soldier can read and write, and such a unit must be remarkable.

After a lot of effort was wasted, all the victims were fed. Soldiers from the 10th Battalion of the Ba'ath Army began to sort out the victims. They first separated men from women. The number of women is significantly lower than that of men, only about three or four thousand. The number of men is very large, obviously tens of thousands.

But such a job of separating men and women has choked the soldiers of the Renaissance Army enough. Many victims also expressed their incomprehension. For such people, the soldiers of the Revival Society told them that they could take their mothers, wives or daughters away. However, it is clear that no one has made such a decision.

After the separation of men and women. The female part is mainly managed by dozens of female soldiers of the Ba'ath Army. Soon, nearly 4,000 female victims, arranged by the female soldiers, began to bathe and change clothes in batches in a huge temporary shower room made of wooden planks.

For the male victims, the second round of classification began. This time it is mainly divided and counted according to age groups. Hundreds of soldiers, after roughly dividing the ages of the tens of thousands of male victims, organized them according to their age groups. Thirty male victims of the same age group were divided into groups, led by a soldier.

In this way, the staff officers of the disaster relief command center, in accordance with the plan they and Wang Shuhui had formulated in advance, began to arrange different jobs for the victims of different ages.

On this day, the work assigned by the APA to the victims who had just eaten a full meal was not heavy. Their main job is to install Wang Shuhui's modern customized military wall-type barbed wire fence in the designated position under the leadership of the soldiers of this squad and under the command of the technicians.

After everyone dug several very long ditches according to the lime lines drawn on the ground and the shovels sent down by the reconstruction army, something that surprised them even more appeared. They saw something unbelievable to them, a mesh wall made of wire.

The Baath Army soldiers felt nothing about it, because they had all seen the facilities in the "huge" steel mills in the Jiangbei Industrial Zone. They all knew that iron was not a valuable thing in the Revival Society.

But these victims don't see it that way. You know, not to mention the victims of the disaster at the end of the Ming Dynasty, that is, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the vast majority of Chinese are still using wood-clad iron agricultural tools, or even wooden agricultural tools, for agricultural production.

In an agrarian society, a qiē metal product was a very luxurious thing. Seeing tens of thousands of shovels being distributed at one time has already shocked the victims. When they saw the seemingly endless barbed wire wall being transported by four * cars, all the victims were quite surprised.

At the same time, however, their confidence in the Ba'ath Army has grown. Originally, many people who were careful were still afraid that they would not have the next meal after eating this meal. However, when they saw such a "extravagant" move by the Renaissance Army, they were completely relieved. In their minds, the family that can be fenced with iron has to be able to do it.

With the efforts of tens of thousands of people, five square courtyards were built side by side. After that, the tens of thousands of refugees were divided into five groups and began to move into their respective positions to carry out the initial construction of their own settlements. The first task was to set up temporary latrines. After the toilet was established, the rules that had to be convenient in the toilet were also established.

Severe penalties are imposed on anyone who defecates in the open at one qiē. The reason is that open defecation can cause plague. These were also clearly explained by the soldiers of the Ba'ath Army to the refugees in each battalion.

After all this work was done, the refugees from the five refugee camps began to go to the washing places set up on the banks of the Yangtze River in order under the leadership of the soldiers. By the time they returned to their respective camps, they were all dressed in the same clothes, a gray robe with the same pocket, and a pair of brand-new straw sandals.

If any modern person were to see this scene from a high place, some people with a kid plot would probably think of the painting of Moses leading the Jews out of Egypt. For all the refugees, dressed in simple gray robes, with hemp ropes tied around their waists, with their hair disheveled, and barefoot straw sandals, were very much in line with the level of productivity of the thirteenth century
