"Lao Luo, there are a lot of lights on the other side, and there seem to be a lot of people!"

At the beginning, Zhang Qingshan focused his main attention on both sides of the road, and didn't pay much attention to the opposite side, but when he came to the dock, the boats in front of him were like a forest, the boats were rocking, the river was shaking and the lights were also rippling, people were coming in and out, laughter, scolding, and ** voices formed a noisy scene of prosperity. Bayi?? Chinese?? Zhang Qingshan noticed that although the opposite side of the river was relatively dark, there were still a lot of lighted houses, and the figures were flickering, and there were obviously a lot of people. And this is not visible on the map.

"Boss, the place across the river, everyone calls it the little dock, it's not a good place......"

To put it simply, if Zhang Qingshan and his big wharf are more or less legitimate businessmen, relatively much richer than the other side of the river, counting the land of light, then the small wharf is definitely a dark place, and it is a perfect embodiment of the dark side of this society: porters, prostitutes, smugglers and other people at the bottom of the society, bullying, oppression, etc., have created a dark world, resulting in a variety of gangs, various forces are intricate, and an absolute dark world.

Zhang Qingshan became interested when he heard this: "Lao Luo, how many porters live over there?"

"Basically live over there. Luo Yingjie replied without thinking about it: "And not only the porters, almost all the poor families live there." ”

"Isn't it nice and prosperous over here, why do you want to live over there?"

These words made Luo Yingjie very suspicious of whether Zhang Qingshan was born in a poor family, but he didn't dare to ask, and he couldn't help answering.

"I thought about it carefully, and I think the main reason is that the house here is expensive, and I can't afford to live in it. Take porters as an example, they can only make ends meet after a tiring day's work, but if they want to find a house to rent, they don't want to eat. And on the other side, it belongs to the three regardless of the place, and the place is big, so it's a big deal to build a small shed in a place where no one is around, and you don't need to spend money. Speaking of this, Luo Yingjie sighed and said: "To put it bluntly, Lao Jiang and they are too exploitative, so that these people living at the bottom, even if they work hard for a day, can only have food and clothing, and they can't even afford to live in a house." Hey~!"

Zhang Qingshan nodded, thought about it, and said, "You said that the people at the bottom were exploited badly, except for Lao Jiang, what else are there?"

"A lot, like the Chamber of Commerce and various gang forces. The Chamber of Commerce, out of its own best interests, will naturally desperately squeeze the labor force, and various gangs will follow behind as the most direct thugs, and Lao Chiang's army is naturally the biggest force suppressor. There were also people of insight here who took the lead in resisting, but as a result, under the joint suppression of the underworld forces of all parties, they were destroyed without forming a force. ”

This is very normal, after all, the Wei family wharf has existed for thousands of years, and under the prosperity, there must be all kinds of darkness. Where there is oppression, there will be resistance, and there will inevitably be people who will jump out and lead everyone to resist, so naturally there will be repression...... To put it bluntly, if they want to break this oppression by simply resisting, they will not have a tight organization, no ideological arming, no experienced leadership collective, and more importantly, no help from the poor people elsewhere. To put it bluntly, in terms of numbers alone, even if there are a few thousand people here, they can't compare to the regular regiment that Lao Jiang put in the county town. Therefore, Grandpa Mao's proposal of 'political power from the barrel of a gun' can be described as to hit the nail on the head and is very transparent.

"Who are the biggest of them?"

"The first one is definitely the porters, after all, ships come and go here, and if you want to unload the cargo, you have to test them to carry it. The second is the fishermen. Boss, the fishermen here are basically locals, and not only the fishing boats you see in front of you, but also the people on the merchant ships that come and go, so the influence is also very strong. However, the fishermen are locals, and they are relatively more united, and there are some fishermen who have made money, and in order to protect themselves, they will continue to maintain the identity of the fishermen, so they have a certain amount of financial resources. Moreover, they are very fierce, and they have the support of people of the same clan and township, so ordinary people do not dare to provoke at all, let alone oppression. However, in order to suppress the fishermen, many forces will continue to use various means to divide them, so I said that the fishermen can only say that they have more than enough to protect themselves, but it is difficult to form a unity, which has also caused the division of the fishermen. For example, Boss Peng, who we are going to visit now, is one of the leaders of the fishermen, and he is very prestigious in the local area. ”

This is normal: although the porters are more numerous than the fishermen, many of them are not local, and others naturally have to divide them in order to continue to enjoy this piece of fat, so it is difficult for the porters to act in a unified manner, let alone gain the support of the local people. However, the fishermen are different, they are locals, and it is easy to get the support of relatives and friends in the same township and village. Therefore, for the porters, you can try your best to oppress, but for the fishermen, you must give certain preferential treatment and appease.

Besides, from a personal point of view, they are all local, and you can be sure that none of them are high-ranking officials or relatives who dominate the party? If you push people into a hurry, and the relatives of other people who are high-ranking officials come forward, it will be ugly at that time. For the sake of public affairs, he has a personal vendetta, which is not cost-effective.

"This Weijia Wharf has existed for thousands of years, and there are all chambers of commerce and gangs, so as the largest and most porters in the local area, they have never thought of forming a union or anything like that, so as to better protect their own interests?"

"Yes, how not. It's just that all the forces regard the porter as a piece of fat, and they all just want to suck blood on it, and no one wants to see the porter united, so as long as the porter has any organization, they will inevitably suppress it frantically, and for this reason, I have seen two or three bloodsheds with my own eyes. ”

Zhang Qingshan thought about it, nodded, but glanced at Luo Yingjie with a very complicated eye, but did not continue to ask, but said: "Find an opportunity, let's also go to the small dock to go around, and see and learn." ”

Luo Yingjie paused, and then persuaded: "Leader, no, boss, it's really not a good place over there, you can't risk your life, I think it's ......."

"Lao Luo, you are wrong. Zhang Qingshan swept his eyes left and right, and when he saw that there was no one, he whispered: "The purpose of our ** revolution is to rescue the toiling masses of the world, so that everyone can have enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear." You see, there are still so many poor people living at the bottom of society who are being oppressed by the underworld forces, can we just watch it like this?"

Being buttoned by Zhang Qingshan's big hat, Luo Yingjie was speechless for a while, he could only look at Xiang Tao beside Zhang Qingshan, hoping that he could help persuade him, after all, that place is really dangerous, although he himself has a wide range of contacts and is not afraid of others, but if there is no important matter, he doesn't want to go - if he is accidentally injured, it is self-inflicted, and absolutely no one will compensate you for your medical expenses.

Who knows, Xiang Tao, who is very confident in his martial arts, didn't care about these at all, but stared at the other side, his eyes flashed, and his face was full of expectation. Seeing his eager attitude, Luo Yingjie knew that this guy would not only not open his mouth to help him persuade Zhang Qingshan, but he would instigate Zhang Qingshan to go over immediately to see and understand.

Look at the Scud again, this guy is with his head down, not knowing what to think, and he can't help.

Well, now it's all left for Zhou Baoyu.

Who knows, Zhou Baoyu is clever, and when he saw Luo Yingjie's eyes, he smiled and said: "Old Luo, don't look at me, I think the eldest brother is right." Do you think, we are doing the revolution for the toiling masses of the world, that is to say, the poorer the people in any place, the more we must be rescued, then, since the porters on the opposite side are the most oppressed and poorest here, we should be rescued, right?"

Luo Yingjie looked at him suspiciously, and for a while he really didn't know what he meant by this, so he had to nod slightly.

When Zhou Baoyu said this, he glanced at Zhang Qingshan, and saw that Zhang Qingshan was just looking at the other side intently, so he said to Luo Yingjie: "Battalion Commander Luo, I shouldn't ask a question, when you mobilized the masses to do revolution, why did you forget so many good objects here?"

Luo Yingjie suddenly realized!

The two brothers really cooperated tacitly: Zhang Qingshan asked about the porter over and over again, and Zhou Baoyu also said things from the big frame, but the final result was the sentence Zhou Baoyu asked, "Why did you forget these people in the first place?"

Fortunately, Luo Yingjie is not stupid, knowing that if Zhang Qingshan asks this directly, the problem will be much more serious, after all, Zhang Qingshan is now the head of the regiment, and his identity and rank are there, once he asks this, he will be suspected of organizing an investigation. However, when someone around him asks, the meaning is different, it can be a variety of meanings, but no matter what, it can only be regarded as a private communication, and it lacks the seriousness and seriousness of the organizational conversation with you.

"Commander, to be honest, I've really considered using porters to make a revolution together. However, there are two internal and external factors, so I have to choose to give up temporarily. ”

"Inside and outside? ”

"In fact, there can only be one main factor, and to put it simply, 'striking iron also needs its own hardness'. At that time, both Lao Chiang and the local tyrants and inferior gentry were highly suppressed against our guerrillas. They are constantly sending troops here to send troops to our guerrillas, but our own armed forces are weak, especially in recent years, the revolutionary situation has been very unfavorable to us, in order to preserve our strength, most of the guerrillas around me have been sent home and hibernated, leaving only a few dozen backbones by our side, so ...... Moreover, the head of the regiment, it is really not that I shirk my responsibility, but that the provincial party committee at that time also asked me to hide on the spot and preserve my strength, so I have not moved here. ”

Hearing these words, Zhang Qingshan remembered that he had thought too much, and his thoughts were too beautiful, and he blamed Luo Yingjie.

"Lao Luo, it's me who blames you, don't mind. ”

"It's fine. In fact, I also know that I feel very uncomfortable watching the poor people here being exploited, and I want to lead everyone to the revolution several times, no matter what the result is, it is better than this. It was only when the comrades of the provincial party committee said, 'We cannot rely on impulse alone to carry out the revolution, but must have discipline,' that I endured it all the time. ”
