In Longkou County, groups of national troops are marching into the city in a neat queue.

The villagers who came to the market, the people who welcomed the national army into the city, and the crowd of onlookers who watched the excitement crowded together, crowding both sides of the main street.

Xu Shijiu stood at the gate of the city, smiling, and waved to the national officers and soldiers who entered the city one by one.

This time, it was not the bandits from Erlongshan who entered the city, but the officers and soldiers of Li Zihan's Longkou Independent Regiment.

After Li Zihan received the order from the commander's department of the theater, he hurried from the temporary garrison of the army to Longkou County, and conveyed the written order of the commander's department to Xu 19.

It is true that Xu 19 wanted to break away from the Nationalist Army and fight the War of Resistance independently, but he also knew that on the ground of China, whether in the enemy-occupied areas or in the nationalized areas, it was unrealistic to completely break away from the control of the Nationalist Government.

Now, Gu Zhutong is willing to admit the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army in southern Anhui and include it in the battle sequence of the third theater, which is undoubtedly the most heroic result, and Xu Shijiu can't ask for more, under this premise, Gu Zhutong inserted the Longkou Independent Regiment led by Li Zihan, which is a logical result.

Gao Shenxing stood beside Xu Shijiu and said in a low voice: "Old Xu, aren't you afraid of taking the lead?" ”

Although Li Zihan's independent regiment has only two companies and only more than 200 people, the equipment and training of these two companies are significantly higher than those of the other units of the 19 th detachment.

Therefore, Gao Shenxing's worries are still justified.

"Dominated?" Xu Jiu smiled, but he didn't think so.

On the surface, the addition of Li Zihan's independent regiment did pose a threat to Xu Shijiu's dominance of the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui, once Li Zihan figured out the actual strength of the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui and reported it to the headquarters of the third theater commander, it is difficult to say that Gu Zhutong would not change his mind and ordered Li Zihan to forcibly incorporate the anti-Japanese salvation army in southern Anhui.

On the other hand, the arrival of Li Zihan's independent regiment also helped Xu Nineteenth.

With the deterrence of Li Zihan's independent regiment, the veteran ruffians of the Niu Sigen Garrison Brigade and the bandits of Erlongshan no longer dare to disobey Xu Shijiu's order, and then give it to the Snake Committee, they have to think about the consequences, no matter what, Li Zihan is a soldier brought out by Xu Shijiu, and the friendship between the two is there.

At that moment, Xu Shijiu smacked not far from the opposite side with his mouth, and whispered to Gao Shenxing: "Old Gao, don't you think that after the arrival of the Longkou Independent Regiment, what I said will be more effective?" ”

Gao Shenxing looked in the direction indicated by Xu Shijiu, and happened to see Niu Sigen and He Laoliu and more than a dozen officers of the garrison brigade standing behind Niu Sigen, most of the officers of these garrison brigades looked solemn, and they whispered a few words from time to time, although they couldn't hear it, it was not difficult for Gao Shenxing to guess that they must be judging the combat effectiveness of the independent regiment.

Gao Shenxing reacted, and suddenly said: "I said that this morning you asked the garrison brigade to cooperate with Shang Wen's working group to station in Yanjia Town, and the garrison brigade was so cooperative, at that time I was still wondering, why are these uncles of the garrison brigade so easy to talk to?" The dare is because of the arrival of the independent regiment. ”

"Otherwise, what do you think it's for?" Xu Jiu said with a smile.

"But speaking of Yanjia Town, Lao Xu, is it another platoon from Zihan's independent regiment?" Gao Shenxing said worriedly, "Yan Zhong is not a good stubble, this old guy is a figure who has seen the world when he goes south and north, and the Yan family also has dozens of nursing homes, just with the platoon of the garrison brigade, I'm afraid I won't be able to control the field." ”

"I'm afraid I don't need it, haven't I heard Shang Wen say, have you seen more complicated and dangerous scenes than this?" Xu Shijiu waved his hand and refused, saying that the Communists are very good at mass work, no matter how complicated the situation, no matter how difficult it is, it is not difficult in their hands, didn't Awen and Shangwen say so?

Xu Jiu really wanted to see what these communists were capable of.

Yan Laoqi was dragged by his daughter-in-law to the outside of the ancestral hall.

When the husband and wife came over, there were already a lot of people gathered outside the ancestral hall, but most of them just gathered outside to watch the excitement, and there were still not many who really dared to enter the ancestral hall to ask, which was actually normal.

I have never heard that the government will send people to urge the payment of the imperial grain, and if the imperial grain is not finished, it will be arrested and sent to the county seat to sit in the classroom, and how have I ever heard that the government will also reduce rent and interest? Also, now that the Republic of China has been in place for decades, and the common people have become accustomed to the Republic of China, an anti-Japanese democratic government has suddenly emerged, and a period of psychological adaptation is still needed.

Yan Laoqi stretched his neck to look inside, and happened to meet Yin Shangwen who came out of it.

Yin Shangwen stepped forward and asked with a smile: "Fellow, are you here to settle the land rent and profit over the years?"

Yan Laoqi hurriedly shook his head, instinctively wanted to retreat, but was pulled by his daughter-in-law, under the pressure of his daughter-in-law's eyes, Yan Laoqi stepped forward, Yin Shangwen invited Yan Laoqi into the ancestral hall, and first moved a bench for Yan Laoqi to sit, but Yan Laoqi did not dare to sit, and he did not stand alive or dead.

Yin Shangwen also asked Yan Laoqi about the silver money and rice grain that he had borrowed from the Yan family over the years.

Yan Lao 71510 has said it, and someone has recorded it in the record.

Soon the calculation results came out, Yin Shangwen came over with the account book and said to Yan Laoqi: "Fellow, according to the policy of the anti-Japanese democratic government in Longkou, the Yan family has to return the tenant rent, rice grain and silver money, which is equivalent to 14 yuan in the ocean, we will verify this, if it is true, the working group will be responsible for helping you to collect it from the Yan family." ”

"You, you're helping to collect?" Yan Laoqi asked eatingly, a little incredulous.

"Yes, we'll help with it." Yin Shangwen nodded and said, "You just go back and wait for the results, how many five days, as little as three days, there will be results, of course, provided that the accounts you provide can stand up to verification." ”

"The accounts are absolutely correct, and I have memorized every pen in my heart." Yan Lao Qi said continuously.

"Okay, then it's nothing, fellow, you go back and wait first." Yin Shangwen said with a smile.

Yan Lao Qi shrank and withdrew from the ancestral hall, and as soon as he came out, his daughter-in-law stepped forward and asked, "Old Qi, what's the matter?" ”

Yan Laoqi's face was a little red, and he said in a low voice: "It is said that the Yan family is looking for me for fourteen yuan, let me go home and wait first, they will help to ask the Yan family, and it will be these three or five days." ”

"This, this, this is true?" Yan Lao's seventh daughter-in-law's voice also began to tremble.

The townspeople who pricked up their ears and listened next to them were also in an uproar, and many people who had already moved their minds walked into the ancestral hall one after another, originally just with the idea of watching the excitement to come and see, and their minds began to become lively, as long as they were people, there was no one who didn't want to live a good life, no matter whether the government could cash in or not, it always didn't matter if they went in and tried.

As a result, more and more townspeople entered the ancestral hall, and the ancestral hall, which originally seemed empty, suddenly became crowded.

"Oh, don't squeeze, don't squeeze fellow villagers." Yin Shangwen's clear voice soon sounded in the ancestral hall, "Take your time, come over one by one in order, in short, we will never leave until the rent and interest of the villagers are settled, so you don't have to be in a hurry at all, take your time, belch, come one by one." ”

However, there are also townspeople who are still watching from the sidelines.

In the eyes of this group of people, the Yan family is the heaven of Yanjia Town, and the old lady Yan is the real master of Yanjia Town.

Although the old lady Yan is already a lot old, she is not a good person to mess with, look, the old lady Yan should rush over with the Yan family's nursing home to smash the field.

In the courtyard of the Yan family, the old lady Yan was already angry.

"This is Yanjia Town, how can they come nonsense?" The old man Yan Zhongyan stomped on the ground with the rattan cane in his hand, and actually stomped the green bricks on the ground to pieces, Yan Qi hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the old man Yan and walked out, in the courtyard outside, the more than 20 nursing homes of the Yan family had already completed the assembly.
