Chapter 248: Loneliness and Rise
readx;? When the Central Red Army crossed the meadows, some of the troops were scattered, and one of them came to Lausanne's family. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Although the Lausanne family has guarded the altar for generations, due to the changes in the general environment, this area has long been no longer the time for them to dominate. Coupled with the remoteness of the location, the government has no jurisdiction, so it has gradually evolved into a rampant place where horse bandits are rampant and criminals settle down.
Later, Lausanne summed up the lessons and came to the conclusion that one of the main reasons for his family's losses was that they were not afraid of death, had a large population, and were economically stronger than others, but they had a fatal flaw -- the lack of modern weapons.
However, whether it is the Kuomintang or the local government, in order to facilitate the control of local tyrants like them, it is naturally extremely strict to blockade, the most severe of which is the control of weapons. Therefore, even if Lausanne has money, he is willing to pay a high price to buy it, but in a short period of time, he cannot get a large number of weapons.
And at this time, a detachment of several hundred Red Army troops passed through his territory...... It can be said that the two sides also benefited from our party's national policy by and large in general, from the initial hostility to the later contacts and the final trust.
At that time, this Red Army team also took in lone soldiers along the way, and it was only then that so many people gathered. Interestingly, although they lacked clothes and wore little clothing along the way, because of the commander's proper command and frequent victories, they captured a lot of good weapons.
The Red Army lacked the most urgent food and medicine, and knew better that it would probably not be able to use weapons for the rest of the Long March, while Lausanne was in dire need of weapons and ammunition, but had a lot of food and livestock. In this way, the two sides hit it off, and the relationship between the two sides naturally developed rapidly...... Luosang naturally received an order from the Kuomintang asking them to block the Red Army, but for him, it was a matter far away from the emperor, and it was better to solve the urgent task of solving the demand for weapons, so whether it was from the needs of individuals or ethnic groups, he directly ignored this, and even increased his favor for the Red Army because of the Red Army's gradual propaganda against him, and also because of the blockade and oppression of the Kuomintang and the local government, his antipathy to the Kuomintang increased day by day.
If the exchange of weapons and food was a bargain and did not change the attitude of the Lausanne community towards the Red Army as a whole, the Red Army did one thing that changed it completely: at that time, the price of goods that could be trafficked to the territory of the Lausanne family was multiplied, whatever it was, due to blockades and long distances. For example, in some places, a Hanyang-made sheep can be exchanged for only one or two sheep, and it can be sold to Lausanne, at least eight sheep, which is still a friendly price, and at most it is only three or five, and no one will risk selling him weapons and ammunition in large quantities at one time.
However, Lausanne was powerless to change this - he had made great efforts to organize caravans to sell cattle and sheep, but as a result, the road was attacked one after another, and when they arrived at the local area, the local government directly stated that they would not issue them a road certificate for travel, and even collected heavy taxes from them.
This depression slowly accumulates, and it will form disgust, develop into disgust, and eventually lead to antagonism.
The Red Army, on the other hand, sold all rifles to him at the price of a sheep...... Although these weapons were captured from the battlefield not long ago, you must know that these hundreds of Red Army troops, just in terms of numbers, can be bought and sold by Lausanne. But instead of doing this, the Red Army said one after another that it had taken advantage of the other side. In the end, even Lausanne and his people felt that the price was too low for the Red Army.
In this atmosphere, coupled with the Red Army's selective propaganda on policy, it was difficult for Lausanne and his people not to be grateful to the Red Army. Naturally, they showed their righteous side towards their friends, and even promised that if the Red Army passed by them in the future, they would definitely take care of them with all their might like brothers. That's why when I saw Zhang Qingshan and others, I was so polite.
Lausanne went out this time because he received an inside report that the big bandits, who had long threatened their living space, had suffered heavy casualties in the Gravel River, so he seized the opportunity to fight with all he had. Afterwards, he desperately pursued and killed, trying to kill this threat. also rescued the Red Army by the way...... It's a lot to kill. Of course, if it weren't for the original help of the Central Red Army, I'm afraid that what Zhang Qingshan and others are seeing now is a group of people who are fighting with all kinds of rudimentary weapons.
After listening to Lausanne's explanation, Zhang Qingshan chose to believe it in his heart, because at this moment, Lausanne had no need to deceive them at all - dozens of people were surrounded, and one person and one knife was enough to make Zhang Qingshan and the four of them have no resistance, so why bother to use this kind of deceptive means?
"Why don't they wash up?" Zhou Baoyu was being teased by Xiang Fuli, saying that he was dirty like a mud man, and he should not sleep with everyone tonight, lest everyone become a mud man. Zhou Baoyu was naturally unconvinced, and felt aggrieved, so he pointed to the dozens of strong women around him, so as to show that he was not the only one.
When Lausanne heard this, he smiled bitterly and gave the answer.
Under serfdom, there were more than 300 members of the Lausanne family, and apart from him and his family, only six families were freemen, that is, commoners—the sons of these people, the comparatively cleanly dressed cavalrymen who protected Lausanne. The rest were all slaves of the Lausanne family. It's just that everyone has lived here for generations, and out of the need to rule, they know that blindly suppressing cannot rule for a long time, and they have to give some soft means from time to time. In addition, Lausanne has some knowledge and has received modern cultural education, so he is still relatively lenient towards serfs, at least, he will not deliberately bully and oppress serfs, which makes him receive everyone's support and respect. That's why his talent will be so united.
At the same time, in order to defend the last turf, it is necessary to encourage everyone's courage in the case of lagging weapons, so that everyone can unite and fight the enemy. Therefore, he had a very clear stipulation: when the war was fought, one-third of the serfs captured could be kept. Don't underestimate this one-third of the seizures, which is absolutely a seismic change under serfdom, because this is the least power that commoners can have. In normal times, everything about serfs, including their bodies and lives, and even their descendants, belonged to the serf owners, and how could they let the serfs have their own property.
There are two main reasons why women look dirty now: first, they paint their faces black, so that the enemy will mistake them for men in battle, so as to frighten the opponent by increasing their numbers and make up for the lack of weapons; second, once captured by the enemy, they will look dirty because of their deliberate smearing, which will reduce the enemy's interest in violating them. To put it bluntly, it means that many women go out and deliberately dress themselves up as men.
(By the way: for some people who don't know Tibetan customs, they think that Tibetans only take baths three times in their lives, but this is a discriminatory rumor.) Because Tibetans, whether it is custom or habit, there is no saying that they do not take a bath. It's just that the natural environment where they live is relatively cold, and it is inconvenient to bathe because they can only use cow dung to boil water, and the altitude of the area where they live is high, and there are few bacteria and other organisms, so they will not get sick if they don't take a bath, so the number of baths they take is relatively small. You know, Tibetans also have festivals that stipulate special bathing. )
Zhang Qingshan, who listened, secretly sighed at the hardships of the people living here: not only to fight against nature, but also to fight hard with the same kind at all times. At the same time, he also admires the other party's brave spirit of not admitting defeat: he must defeat the other party by all means and try to survive. Such a person is definitely worthy of respect.
Seeing the group of women laughing and saying something loudly while moving forward quickly, obviously very satisfied and proud of this seizure, Zhang Qingshan suddenly realized: Such a brave person should not live such a poor life. And isn't the goal of the revolutionary cause in which he is engaged in so that they can live a happy life without oppression?
Because there was no burden, and everyone was excited and anxious to go home, the team marched quickly, and just as the sun was setting, they came to the place where the Lausanne tribe lived, a place that is interpreted in Chinese as the Lake of Tears.
“%¥#......”
As soon as he walked to the side of a big mountain, he saw a group of people coming on horseback, and the leader waved his hand from afar, shouting words that Zhang Qingshan didn't understand.
After seeing the other party clearly, Zhang Qingshan always felt that something was wrong, and after looking carefully, he found that although the girl was wearing a Tibetan costume, she had a pair of lady's high leather boots on her feet, so it seemed a little out of tune.
However, to be honest, this girl is not too beautiful, but she is definitely not ugly, her body and face are very clean, and she is sixteen or seventeen years old, which leaves the deepest impression on Zhang Qingshan is that this girl has an indescribable and inexplicable temperament, anyway, it is very simple temperament, which is particularly attractive: those bright big eyes, clear like a holy lake of tears, clear to the bottom, so that anyone will unconsciously under the gaze of these beautiful big eyes, there is a kind of self-ashamed appearance in the face of the gaze of the fairy.
This girl loves to laugh, especially when facing Lausanne, her laughter never stops, and her voice is also crisp and beautiful.
After the girl dismounted, she took Luosang's hand and said that she didn't play, and after talking for five minutes, when Luosang turned around, she looked at Zhang Qingshan and the four of them with a smile, and did not see the shyness of ordinary girls when they saw strangers, but showed the heroic and hospitable side of the Tibetans, and said generously in Chinese: "Hello, Red Army warriors, please call me Gesang Hua." ”
Because of the existence of Lausanne, Zhang Qingshan and the four of them did not feel strange that Gesang Hua could speak Chinese, but the strange thing was that the title of Gesang Hua was used in a person's name, how to sound it felt weird, so the four of them looked at Lausanne.
"This is my sister, Yang Jin...... Okay! Gesang flower, don't pull me. After saying goodbye to her baby sister, she smiled at Zhang Qingshan and the four of them: "In Tibetan, Gesang flower means happy flower, so you can call her Gesang flower." ”
It can be seen that this girl is a princess here, and she must be loved and blessed by everyone, wishing such a simple and lovely girl a happy life, and Luosang Hua obviously has very beautiful and happy expectations for her future.
