Chapter 167: Rebellion and Revolution 1

86_86695 "Why do I say that all the peasant uprisings in history have failed? The reason is that the results of those peasant uprisings did not change the reality of the peasant class being exploited by the landlord class. Therefore, what we have to do in Revival is different from all the peasant uprisings in history. We, the Revival Society, want to lead the people in a revolution. ”

"The reason why our Revival Society is a revolution is because the cause that our Revival Society leads the people to completely change the results of the peasant uprisings in history. The revolution led by the Revival Society is not a repetition of history, but still benefits a small group of careerists. It is to completely change the face of Chinese society and benefit all the oppressed and exploited people! ”

——1622, Wang Shuhui, "Rebellion and Revolution Are Two Different Things"

"Isn't that right?" At the operational meeting, Han Sanshan, deputy company commander of the first company of the ninth battalion, said.

The 9th and 10th Battalions were jokingly called the Huai Barracks within the Renaissance Army, and there were. However, the vast majority of cadres at all levels, whether it is the ninth battalion or the tenth battalion, are not from Huaibei. This is not to say that there are any deliberate arrangements within the revival army, but that no one in this group of displaced people from Huaibei has grown into high-level cadres.

Most of the cadres at all levels of the 9th and 10th Battalions were selected and transferred from various other units. They are all people who have completed three assessments, received the corresponding military education, and held leadership positions in the army for a period of time. In this way, the cadres of the 9th and 10th battalions need a run-in process.

Han Sanshan was born in a boot training camp. In terms of the level of training, all the cadres of the first company of the entire Ninth Battalion, including the chief of staff who is specially responsible for the daily training of the troops, are not as high as his level. However, after all, he did not participate in several actual battles. He still has a lot of confusion about the specific work.

After more than 3,000 production and construction troops arrived in Songzi County, the training and management of the disaster victims were transferred to them starting from the 9th and 10th battalions. The combat units began to get rid of the troubles that were causing them headaches, and began to do their own work.

Although the Baath Army is a soldier of the people, this is already a common understanding among the soldiers of the Baath Army. However, they are still reluctant to work in civil affairs.

After Wang Shuhui made a preliminary count of the victims received by the Renaissance Association, he realized a problem. Although the Renaissance Association has already taken in about 20,000 victims of the disaster and has seized more than 100,000 acres of land. However, this is only a small fraction of the total population and total cultivated land of Songzi County. The remaining 300,000 acres of land and more than 20,000 victims are still in the chaos of a disaster year.

No matter from which point of view, Wang Shuhui can't ignore the remaining 20,000 or so victims who have not gathered in the county seat. In particular, when the industrialization of Songzi County, which is about to be launched by the Fuxing Society, requires a large number of workers, Wang Shuhui is even more unwilling to ignore the more than 20,000 important laborers who can be completely transformed into agricultural workers and industrial workers.

Therefore, before Wang Shuhui went to the county seat to solve the problem of the Wu family, he gave the task of fighting the disaster and rescuing the people to the ninth battalion, which was the first batch of people to be separated from the management of the disaster victims.

Just when Wang Shuhui led the troops to solve the problem of Wu Chaozong's family, the first company of the ninth battalion had already begun to deal with the first problem he encountered.

In a year of catastrophe, who is the first person to turn to the victims? For modern people to answer this question, the answer must be to ask the government for help. In an industrial society, the relationship between the government and the people is very close. This is because the industrial society can undertake large, complex and detailed government agencies, and the government agencies in the industrial society also have the ability to resist disasters and provide relief.

However, this is not the answer to the same question in an agrarian society. In ancient societies, once a famine was encountered, the first object of the common people's help must be the person who was closest to them, and at the same time they were face to face, and at the same time had a large amount of food.

This person is not referring to the county lord who the common people have not seen for hundreds of years. For the common people, they only know that the county magistrate is the most powerful person in the entire county. However, in daily life, there is no intersection between the common people and the county magistrate. Who the county master is and what he has done is of no use to the people.

Whether in terms of distance or de jure, it was only the feudal landlords who exercised power in the countryside on behalf of the feudal ruling class. The common people are not short of hearts. They all knew that the landlords who lived in the landlord's compound not only controlled a large amount of land, but also a huge amount of grain.

They can't find the top landlords who run to the county town, but the small and medium-sized landlords who are closely related to their lives rely on their family thugs and hide in the big courtyard in the countryside with the people of the near tribes. In the case of a complete crop cut off, everyone is about to starve to death. One of the things that everyone turned to was these small and medium-sized landlords.

In China's more than 2,000 years of feudal history, whether it is the Wu Fort of the Han Dynasty or the walled city of the Tang Dynasty. The scale of these things may be different, but in essence, these things are essentially the same thing as the landlord's compound. They are all used to defend against the victims of the inevitable famine.

In the late Ming Dynasty, the landlords of the late Ming Dynasty had already learned the lessons of their predecessors and built defensive facilities of different scales but with the same function. Therefore, even if the victims really gathered around the landlord's compound, most of the victims with wood-clad iron farming tools could not pose a threat to the landlords in the compound.

Therefore, the victims who want to get help can only wait in vain to wait for death outside the landlord's compound.

The soldiers of the Renaissance Army, even the soldiers of the "Huai Barracks" with a very short military experience, have all learned the words "the people are not afraid of death, why should they be afraid of death" in their cultural studies. This sentence is very profound for the vast majority of the soldiers of the Renaissance Army, who are refugees. Because it coincides with their actual experience.

To borrow the words of He Shen in "Iron Tooth and Bronze Tooth Ji Xiaolan": "In the disaster year, are the disaster victims still human!" ”。 It is conceivable that none of the victims, who are not even human, will think that their lives are precious.

On the first day of its mission, the 1st Company of the 9th Battalion once again deepened its understanding of the phrase "the people are not afraid of death, why should they be afraid of death." They witnessed hundreds of victims attacking a landlord's compound in vain.

For people who have no food to eat and are about to starve to death, they do not realize in their consciousness that their act of breaking into the landlord's compound to get food is a rebellious act. On the one hand, the threat of death can dispel the fear of one thing else. On the other hand, because hundreds or thousands of people are doing the same thing, it establishes a justification for their actions.

However, when everyone was attacking the landlord's compound despite the heavy casualties. Suddenly, hundreds of neatly looked and well-organized soldiers appeared on the scene in an organized manner, and their senses, which they had long since not known where to run, would return to the heads of the victims.

The sudden appearance of the Baath Army brought the whole scene to a halt. Whether it was the victims who attacked the landlord's compound or the landlords' families who were defending, they all stopped what they were doing.

After seeing the comer, although neither side could tell what kind of army the red sickle and axe red flag represented. However, the appearance of troops had a different effect on both sides.

After seeing the appearance of the Renaissance Army, the victims were depressed. The offense is getting weaker and weaker. The landlords on the wall began to shout and shout, and the counterattack became more and more aggressive.

The soldiers of the 1st company did not intervene in the fighting on both sides. Immediately after setting up the defensive formation, the cooks appeared. They began to prepare relief food.

When the relief food paste was ready, the smell of food permeated the whole scene. All the victims left the landlord's compound, and sporadically leaned towards the position of the first company.

Under the persuasion of the soldiers, the victims began to throw away the "weapons" in their hands, ran to the first company one by one, and began to receive bowls and drink porridge.

A group of disaster victims can take the initiative and systematically attack the landlord's compound, and such an action cannot be achieved without a leader. The person who led and organized this attack on the landlord's compound to "eat big households" was a talented man named Ding Shiqing.

Ding Shiqing is thirty-two years old Chinese New Year's Eve. Originally, he was born in a small landowner family. For the past few decades of his life, he has longed to change his destiny through the Guò Imperial Examination. However, in ancient agrarian societies, it was impossible to study without a considerable economic foundation.

In this way, Ding Shiqing, who was not dedicated to studying, gradually sold his family's land in order to study. By the time he was admitted to Xiucai's fame, most of his family's land was bought by the big landlord of the same clan, that is, Ding Graphite, the owner of the landlord's compound that was attacked.

Ding Xiucai, who only had a dozen acres of land left, originally felt that although his own property was not enough to support him to continue his scientific research, as a scholar who cultivated and read heirlooms, even if he did not hire workers, his own farming could maintain food and clothing. Unexpectedly, a drought suddenly came, breaking Ding Xiucai's dream of cultivating and reading heirlooms.

In an agrarian society, no one other than the landlords was able to resist natural disasters. Even Ding Shiqing, a talented yeoman farmer, was also unable to resist such a desperate drought.

When the old lady and his wife and children starved to death one after another, Ding Xiucai was elected as the leader by the victims of the same village, and led everyone to start a futile attack on the Ding family's compound.

Han Sanshan, deputy commander of the first company, had a different opinion at the operational meeting, which was aimed at Ding Shiqing.

Han Sanshan did not understand the view of the company commander, the teaching director, and the chief of staff on "immediately prosecuting Ding Shiqing."

Because in his eyes, Ding Xiu is a good person.

"Whether Ding Xiu is a good person or a bad person has nothing to do with the task we want to perform!"

The first company taught Changfang Dazhuang and said to Han Sanshan with some dissatisfaction.

"The experience we gained in carrying out the operation of 'clearing displaced people and eliminating landlords' in Zhijiang County has confirmed that the unorganized people will take the initiative to participate in our mission. When this happens, it undermines our operations. ”

Li Kewen, the commander of the first company, explained to Han Sanshan, who had little actual combat experience.

Chief of Staff Hu Haibo did not have a very good impression of Han Sanshan because he often gave instructions to the daily training work of the First Company. He said to Han Sanshan: "The combat ability of the common people who lack organization is not strong, but their destructiveness is great. In many operations in the past, it was because the common people followed the troops and rushed up that there were many problems. ”

After emphasizing the lessons learned, he continued to say to Han Sanshan: "Comrade Han Sanshan, although you are inexperienced, you must also figure out a problem. We are now discussing the battle plan, not doing mass work. Besides, mass work is not your job, it is the work of the teaching director. You need to figure out what you do. ”

Although he was very unhappy, Han Sanshan also had to accept everyone's explanation and Hu Haibo's criticism. He did not continue to speak, but quietly listened to everyone's discussion of the battle plan.

The landlord's compound must be beaten. However, unlike the previous qiē action, Mr. Wang Shuhui's order this time was to "fight disasters and save the people", and did not explicitly state that the landlords should be eliminated. The elimination of landlords is everyone's subconscious understanding.

The order given by the command center this time was very vague. All orders have only one "disaster relief" content. How to "fight against disasters and provide relief", and whether to eliminate landlords in the process of "disaster resistance and disaster relief". None of the command center's orders clearly indicate these issues.

However, Wang Shuhui has clearly told them that when they encounter a qiē problem, they must make decisions through the guò organization.

Han Sanshan was born in a small landowner family. Although he was reduced to a displaced person by natural disasters, he was absorbed by the Renaissance Society. However, he still has a certain tolerance for the landlord class.

Therefore, after discovering the ambiguity of this mission order, he immediately spoke: "Since the superiors have asked us to 'fight disasters and save the people', then we must carry out this task of 'fighting disasters and saving the people'." The order did not say that we were to destroy the landlords. I don't think we're going to do anything superfluous. ”

The teaching director, Fang Dazhuang, did not like Han Sanshan's statement. Among all the cadres of the First Company, Fang Dazhuang's class consciousness was the strongest. Before being absorbed into the Renaissance Society, Fang Dazhuang, a tenant farmer, lived a hellish life under the oppression of the landlord Lao Cai. It was this kind of experience that made his class consciousness unusually strong, and made him particularly hateful to the landlords and old fortunes under the sky.

Fang Dazhuang glanced at Han Sanshan and said to everyone: "The teacher really didn't explicitly tell us that we want to eliminate the landlord. But does this matter still need to be explicitly raised by the teacher? Everyone must understand that 'fighting disasters and saving the people' is in front of saving the people. Only after fighting the disaster can we save the people. How did our revival society save the people, and in Songzi County these days, are there still comrades who haven't figured it out? Without land, how can we fight against disasters? Without land, how can we save people? ”

After saying this, Fang Dazhuang looked at Han Sanshan and said firmly: "Teacher Wang has said a long time ago that our Revival Society has no personal enmity with the landlords and old wealth. However, the landlords and old wealth control the land, and rely on the land in their hands to exploit and oppress the people, and they have enmity with the people. If we want to save the people, we must deprive the landlords of their land and use it to feed the people. Is there still anyone who can't figure out this question now?! ”

Han Sanshan moved his eyes elsewhere. He didn't dare to look at Fang Dazhuang's eyes that were spewing flames.

"Break the courtyard and judge the landlord". This resolution was soon passed at a meeting of the Revival Committee of the First Company.

After determining the goal, the first company of the ninth battalion of the revival army quickly ran around this goal.

The instructors began to educate the soldiers about the significance of the operation. Staff officers began to send scouts to draw maps, learn about intelligence, and develop corresponding battle plans. After the company commanders, deputy company commanders, and military commanders at all levels had a clear understanding of the operational plan of the staff department, they began to arrange corresponding work for the soldiers who had already completed mobilization in accordance with the operational plan.

The whole pre-war preparation took the first company a night and a morning. The official battle began at noon the next day.

Wang Shuhui has a requirement for the revival army to have a "double strong principle". This principle of double strength refers to: "Firepower should be strong, bayonets should be strong." "In terms of practice, it can be reflected from the attack of the first company of the ninth battalion of the revival army on the Ding family compound.

At the beginning of the battle, the first company, which had already reached the combat position, used the Hale rocket, which had been transformed many times by the ordnance department and is now the fourth generation, and applied the principle of Katyusha rockets, with guide rails, to carry out large-scale firepower coverage on the wall of the Ding family's compound.

Even in the middle of the day, when the sun is shining, the tail flame of the Hale rocket that erupts from the guide rail is still very eye-catching. Rockets made of cast iron with tail fins exploded on the walls in rows. It was just a moment of effort, and the Ding family members on the wall of the courtyard, who were still looking nervously, were blown up and flesh and blood flew sideways.

Everyone, except for the soldiers of the Renaissance Army who were fighting, whether it was the victims who were surrounded by the barbed wire fence or the Ding family in the compound, were stunned by this uncommon sense, completely unimaginable covering attack.

Until the three explosive packets set up by the sappers under the courtyard wall exploded, and the soldiers, led by the cadres, rushed into the compound with rifles with bayonets attached, many people had not recovered from the subversive power of the Baath Army's improvised Katyusha rockets.

Of course, by the time they came to their senses, the whole family of the local landlord Ding Graphite, with the exception of a few who tried to resist and died under the bayonets, had all been escorted out by the soldiers and knelt in a row around the camp
