Section 19: Measures for the construction of base areas
"I understand a little," Ye Yanbing said, "If we want to occupy this place, we have to learn from Liu Bang." ”
"Do you want to say this? The commander's meaning is clear. The key is what to do. Feng Lun gritted his teeth. As soon as this person is caught up in thought, he will grit his teeth and look hideous.
"It's simple," Ning Shijun said with a smile, "Cheng Da Niu is a ready-made example, just pull out Zheng Jing's relatives and slaughter them." Liu Bang won the hearts of the people in China, and the abolition of the tyrannical Qin was the main reason. In Zheng Jingweifu Township, there are many villagers who are oppressed, not just a Cheng Daniu? He ran away, but his wife and daughter are all there, let's take Zheng Jing's family to cut it, and we will inevitably win the hearts of the people who are oppressed by him, it's very simple. ”
Everyone's eyes turned to Long Qian. Since the occupation of Zhengjiazhuang, Long Qian strictly forbade harassment of Zheng Jing's family, the huge Zheng mansion, the courtyard where the female dependents lived, it was strictly forbidden to enter casually, from Feng Guozhu to Ye Yanbing, they all received strict orders, and many people here have not seen those women so far. Ning Shijun's words obviously aroused everyone's interest, so they all went to see Long Qian's attitude. Especially Cheng Erhu, there was irrepressible excitement written on his face.
Long Qian smiled, "Whether it's Yan Bing or Shi Jun, it's all about the skin." It is necessary to liquidate the crimes of Zheng Lao's thief, and it is also necessary to avenge the Erhu brothers. However, the story I am telling you has another meaning that you have not grasped. Xiang Yu is cruel and easy to kill, and Liu Bang is more benevolent and righteous, which is the key to the dispute between Chu and Han. Shi Jun must have read more than me, and he definitely disapproves of my words. Liu Bang is just a scoundrel, he is benevolent and righteous! After losing the battle and running away, he was afraid that his car would be too heavy and he would not be able to run fast, so he pushed his two sons and daughters out of the car; Xiang Yu captured his father and threatened to cook Mrs. Liu alive, and Liu Bang shamelessly asked Xiang Yu to 'get a piece of the pie'. In the process of fighting the world, he didn't even care whether his own children lived or died, and even had to share his father with Xiang Yu, is this still benevolent? That's right, successful people in history will not succeed if they are not thick-skinned and have a dark heart. The story may or may not be true. Whether it's true or not, Liu Bang's wisdom is in it. Chu and Han contended, and Xiang Yu plotted against Liu Bang, the commander of the Han army, not his father and children, right? As long as Liu Bang is alive, Xiang Yu will not dare to do too much. Right? Everyone comes out to mix the rivers and lakes, and if you do the first year of junior high school, you can't blame others for doing fifteen. This is also one of the morality of the rivers and lakes. Therefore, Liu Bang's ruthlessness is also out of confidence in his own strength to a certain extent. ”
Long Qian paused, let everyone digest their meaning, drank some water, and continued, "We are not qualified to compare with Liu Bang. We didn't think about raising a banner against the imperial court, and if we did that, we would be overwhelmed. It is also irresponsible to the brethren. The reason why I tell you this story is to unify our thinking on the regional construction base area centered on Zhengjiazhuang. As long as we can think together and work together, we will definitely be able to overcome difficulties. ”
"That's for sure, just ask the commander to speak." Wang Mingyuan said loudly.
"Very well, the brothers trust me Long Qian, I have to say thank you. Let's go out of Mengshan and enter a relatively densely populated area, we change the way we lived in the past, and try to live with the people, which is a groundbreaking event for our small army. It is very simple to rob and kidnap tickets, and it is not difficult to fight with the official army, but it is very difficult to deal with the common people, live among the people like fish swimming in water and get the support of the people, and it is even more difficult than our army in Mengshan. Erhu said that I have been sad these days, and I don't know why I'm worried, so I'll tell you, just for this! If we can't stand near Zhengjiazhuang, our army will have no future, this is a true thing, not that I deliberately scare everyone. ”
"It's not that serious, is it? It's not harder than dealing with the military and the military, right? Even if the official army comes, we are now strong and strong, and we are not afraid of him. Feng Guozhu said with a smile.
"To say that soldiers are strong is bragging. I felt that after the whole army in Mengshan, the idea that many officers and soldiers were not afraid was even more coaxed by himself. I've said it before, we have so many old foundations, and we have one less to fight, and this time we have lost so many people at once, how many times can we withstand consumption? Long Qian glared at Feng Guozhu dissatisfiedly, although he knew that he was comforting himself, but this kind of thought may not be absent.
"That's what I said. It's not a light enemy, Commander, what do you say, I will do it to the letter. "Feng Guozhu is a little embarrassed.
To win the support of the people, we must understand what the people's suffering is. Everyone may say that they are all children of peasant families, how do they not know what the people of the village are suffering from, no land, no money, no food__ in short, it is a word, poor. That's right, farmers have always been the most tired and bitter kind of people. But everyone must not have thought about it, why are the farmers so hard? Some people say that the government lord's rent is too much, some people say that the landlord's rent is too ruthless, and some people say that in recent years, there have been continuous floods, droughts and locust plagues, and God has not given him a way to live. That's true, but not quite. To be honest, I don't know it myself, if we want to understand this matter, our Mengshan Army will have a big future! ”
Everyone started talking. Except for Ning Shijun, all of these people are children of Zhuang households, and their family backgrounds are good and bad, but almost all the work in the crops has been taken care of. The suffering of the farmer is naturally clear. They always felt that Long Qian didn't look like he was a farmer, but Long Qian was very pitiful to the peasants, which made these people who had been with Long Qian for a long time extremely puzzled.
Long Qian waved his hand, "Let's not discuss it yet." The reason why I am interested in the peasant issue is because in China, if we don't understand the peasants, we don't want to get things done. I clearly tell you that only by relying on the poor peasants can we develop ourselves and strengthen our ranks. You must know that the landlords, including the scholars, the people in the village with good economic conditions, do not want us to occupy their Zhuangzi, they are closer to the government in their bones, and hope that the government will send troops to exterminate us as soon as possible. Only peasants living in extreme poverty want a change of life, because they are no longer happy. These people are the ones we rely on. If we don't understand this, we can't stand. ”
Killing the rich and helping the poor and doing the right thing for heaven has been the common slogan and program of peasant rebels for almost thousands of years, and Xiangma is no exception. Most of the rebels were desperate and extremely poor. Therefore, Long Qian's words did not cause controversy among everyone.
"After opening Zhengjiazhuang, I heard that we could open a county seat. I remind you that we don't want to occupy the city at all, not even the county seat, it's not that we can't beat it, but we can't occupy it. The reason has been explained to you many times, and our current policy is to accumulate strength and vigorously develop ourselves as much as possible without alarming the government. When Zhengjiazhuang is opened, it is possible for the government to pretend to be deaf and dumb, but if it hits Fei County, Mengyin or Teng County, the government will inevitably react. That's why I chose Zhengjiazhuang. It is precisely for this reason that we must now do the work of the peasants, study the rural areas, and understand what is really going on in the rural areas. Some people must think, I am from the countryside, and I still need to study the countryside? No, it's definitely not like that! Let me ask you, Zhengjiazhuang, Chenjiaya, and Baiwei Town, how much arable land per capita? How much is the yield per mu? How many households are there, and how many people are there per household? What are the food crops, and how much is an acre of land? How much water, how much dryland? How many landless farmers are there? How much does a farmer earn each year? How much tax do you pay to the government? How much is the ground rent? Does each Zhuangzi have public property? What is it? Who are the owners of each Zhuangzi or the gentry? More, these things must not be estimated. A village, a town, the situation is different, and if you leave the situation of the village where you lived in the past, it may not fit. It's Zhengjiazhuang, Bai Wei and Chenjiaya, I think there is a big difference. If we don't understand this, you won't be able to understand what the peasants hate and what they want, and we won't be able to win the support of the peasants. ”
This series of questions made everyone feel dizzy.
"To rely on the poor peasants is to give them the most practical benefits. Farmers are the ones who know how to repay kindness, and if we give them benefits and give them hope in life, they will support us, and it's as simple as that. How do you get them the benefits? It is not simply a matter of giving them the property of the rich and rich, which is simple, but not right. Most of you grew up in the countryside, so think about it, who are the poorest people in the countryside? Those who go bankrupt because of natural disasters or man-made disasters, those whose property is wiped out by a lawsuit, those who are plotted by landlords for land, those who lose their homes because of smoking and gambling, and those who are not good at farming and are unwilling to endure hardships, right? As far as I know, those who live well in the countryside get rid of a few bullies like Zheng Jing who collude with the government to oppress and exploit the township, and there are also those who get rich through hard work and make a fortune by making money through craftsmanship. In my opinion, the countryside can be roughly divided into three kinds of people, one is the one who does not do his own work, rents the land to others, and lives on the rent, I call him the landlord, and the second type is the one who has his own land and cultivates it by himself, and his life is quite prosperous, I call him the middle peasant. The third category is those who have no land and live entirely by renting the landlord's land, I call him a poor peasant. It means the poor peasant. Our basic policy is to crack down on the landlords, unite the middle peasants, and rely on the poor peasants. But the specific treatment, we must be more careful, because the landlord is not necessarily evil, like Mr. Chen Chao of Chen Jiaya, who is kind and charitable, and has a high prestige among the villagers, and hitting him will inevitably lead to the disgust of the villagers. But a bully like Zheng Jing, if we suppress him, it will make most of the villagers happy. ”
Cheng Erhu has always been looking forward to revenge, and has always wanted to personally kill Zheng Jing, a bully who has a deep blood feud with him. A company was assigned to play an ambush, which disappointed him. Because according to the combat deployment, the first company was not the first company to launch an attack on Zhengjiazhuang. Unfortunately, Zheng Jing escaped, and he has been very depressed about it. Long Qian talked about the suppression of Zheng Jing, and he was very happy.
"It is our set goal to stand firm in Sanzhuang and then gradually expand the scope of our army's control. Standing firm in Sanzhuang is the first step, and the root lies in the occupation of Zhengjiazhuang. Because in terms of population, land and geographical location, Zhengjiazhuang is the first of the three villages. Zhengjiazhuang stands firm, and the other two Zhuangzi are not a problem. But the occupation of Sanzhuang requires a different policy, yes, a policy! That is, what kind of method do we use, literary or martial? Do you want to kill people? ”
