"Grandma, isn't the one who was arrested the mayor of the town, Uncle Wang?"

At this time, although the people in the town supported the Red Army, the vast majority of them still had some misgivings: Although the Red Army arrested some reactionaries and raided the homes of some landlords and bullies whom the people hated most, they did not catch the mayor of the town, the biggest one, who was a swatter of flies and did not suspect of fighting tigers. To put it bluntly, we still want to see what kind www.biquge.info of attitude the Red Army has toward the Nationalist Army, and whether we dare to deal a heavy hand to the senior officials of the Kuomintang? If I can only make superficial statements like the Kuomintang, or if I collude with each other and dare not make a heavy hand, then I will not be asking for my own death by reporting and exposing Mayor Wang's various evil deeds at this time?

So, at first, the people pretended not to see and only dared to point in a whisper, but when the child shouted loudly, everyone had to face it directly.

"Yes, the mayor of the town, Mr. Wang, was actually arrested. ”

"I don't know what they'll do with Mayor Wang?"

"If they dare to kill him, then I believe that the Red Army is the army of our common people, otherwise...... I still have an old house in the country, so I'm going back to check it out. ”

All kinds of arguments immediately became louder, but they all just stood aside, and even their eyes were a little evasive, so that people could understand at a glance that the various questions they asked were actually hoping that the Red Army would give the clearest and most direct answers.

However, these Red Army soldiers were not able to answer directly, so they could only ignore everyone's questions and silently escort Wang Weiqing to the town office. And this increased everyone's suspicion and followed.

This is exactly what Xiang Jiafu is worried about at present: many teachers and ordinary people who have already expressed their support for the Red Army have expressed this concern in private. Even, some people said frankly: You raided the mayor's house, if you can arrest the mayor and kill him, I will support you with all my might - the people don't listen to the explanation that you didn't catch the mayor, they only believe what they see. Therefore, for the criticism meeting at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, he was a little worried that the people's response was not enthusiastic enough, that is, he did not do his job properly. After all, the scene when you enter the town shows that the people here are more or less different from other places.

When I was a little bottomless in my heart, I suddenly heard that the mayor Wang Weiqing had been caught, and Xiang Jiafu was really excited about a long drought and a rainy day, so he ran directly to the school.

From a distance, he saw that the Red Army soldiers escorted a person over, and the people followed and asked loudly, but the soldiers did not dare to give direct assurance, he was really excited and anxious. When he ran over and asked, he was sure that it was the town mayor Wang Weiqing who was arrested, and he waved his hand and shouted: "Folks, please listen to me." ”

"We, the Red Army, will never wronged a good person, nor will we let a bad person go. If Wang Weiqing is a good town mayor who is the master of the people, we in the Red Army will naturally respect him and ask him to continue to be the town mayor...... But if he is a bully and inferior gentry who harms his neighbors and oppresses the people, then our Red Army will also make decisions for everyone and punish him severely. Please believe that the Red Army will definitely call the shots for the villagers. ”

"Commander, may I ask to what extent the Red Army wants to call the shots for us?"

"Criticize, go to jail, raid homes, and even shoot them. This depends on the extent of his crimes. And his crimes have to be reported and exposed by the villagers. However, please rest assured that the Red Army will do justice for you. Therefore, after dinner, the villagers were invited to go to the school playground when they heard the school bell ringing, and actively reported and exposed the past crimes of Wang Weiqing and his accomplices. ”

The people smiled and nodded in agreement, but Xiang Jiafu saw a little worry in their eyes. Again: No matter what you say, the people only look at what you do.

Many people in the town have attended, but in the past, the people in power in the town were all in power, but now the Red Army is presiding, and it is those in power in the past who are being judged, which is something that has never been done before. Therefore, whether they were sincere supporters of the Red Army, or those who had a wait-and-see attitude, or even those with ulterior motives, they all had dinner early and flocked to the school playground to watch the excitement.

On the makeshift platform, there are members of the Red Army propaganda team singing and acting: singing songs such as the Red Army's love for the people and the people's support for the Red Army (excerpt from a Red Army mobilization song in "Longshan County Literature and History": When you are a soldier, you must be a Red Army, cooperate with the workers and peasants to fight the enemy, defeat the reactionaries, everyone has a field, those who can work have a job, those who can plough the land have a field, fight the local tyrants and catch the inferior gentry, and kill him mercilessly...... It is the story of the Kuomintang reactionaries oppressing the poor people and the Red Army fighting the Kuomintang for the people. Thanks to the daytime communication, the common people more or less understood some of the policies of the Red Army, and gave a certain amount of support to these performances: only applause, no one applauded, and the scene was definitely not lively.

"Captain, are you looking for me?" Zhang Qingshan sniffed his sleeves as he walked over, although he didn't smell any peculiar smell, he couldn't help but smell it before he was relieved.

"Aoyama, come. Xiang Jiafu pulled Zhang Qingshan to the backstage, looked at the audience under the front desk that was not lively, and asked with a slight frown: "Look at this scene, it's not lively enough!"

"Captain, give the order, I promise to complete the task. ”

"That's right. Originally, I wanted to strike while the iron was hot, pull all the minions of the Kuomintang reactionaries to the stage in turn to criticize and fight, and put Wang Weiqing at the end, which can be regarded as a big **. But now I feel that I am in a bit of a hurry to do this...... Therefore, I decided to do the opposite, first to give you a dose of fierce medicine, to dispel the concerns of the people in one fell swoop, and to show the policy of our Red Army, and then the rest will be easy to do...... Wait a minute, you will be the first to come to the stage and make an accusation against Wang Weiqing. ”

"Captain, I'...... I was a little scared. "Zhang Qingshan had seen the scene of criticizing the Kuomintang reactionaries in Zhaotouzhai and knew how to proceed, besides, before coming to Guitang Town, because he wanted to speak on behalf of the recruits at the regimental commendation meeting, he gave a speech in front of the whole class of soldiers. But when he thought of giving a speech in front of so many people, his heart was still a little empty.

"We, the soldiers of the Red Army, are not even afraid of death, but are we afraid to say a few words in front of everyone? Qingshan, this is an organizational test for you...... As you know, the revolutionary work we are carrying out in Guitang Town has only just begun, and the Kuomintang reactionaries and their minions are still eyeing each other, and the situation is very grim...... You should do my brother a favor, okay?"

As soon as he heard this, Zhang Qingshan knew that he couldn't refuse, and as soon as his temper rose, he replied stubbornly: "Yes!"

Xiang Jiafu patted him on the shoulder excitedly and encouraged: "Actually, you don't have to say anything else, just tell everyone about your real experience, especially Wang Weiqing's persecution of you." I'll take care of the rest. ”

Zhang Qingshan couldn't help but think of his godfather's death, Wang Weiqing was the biggest accomplice, and a little anger immediately rose in his heart, and he was not so afraid. puffed out his chest: "Please rest assured, captain, guarantee to complete the task." ”

Soon, the play on the stage was over, and at this time, the audience was black and pressed, standing all over the playground, and there were many people who did not stand, so they simply climbed to the wall and sat and waited, and the scene was still deserted.

A female propaganda team member walked onto the stage with a horn made of paper shells......
