"Old man, please wait a minute. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info" is just a warrior, and he can't make decisions in this kind of big thing, so he hurriedly introduced to the old man: "This is my superior, if you have anything, you can tell him." ā€

"Hello old man, my name is Li Guowei, you can just call me Xiao Li. Li Guowei has never been able to interject, but now that he has the opportunity, he quickly introduced himself affectionately, and did not forget to ask Qi Zixuan to translate. Seeing that Xiang Laohan nodded, Li Guowei was about to shake hands with the other party to further close the relationship between them, but Xiang Laohan knelt in front of him, shouting while kowtowing: "Please let the master call the shots for me......"

"Oops~!Old man, get up, get up, don't you dare to be such a big gift when you are old...... "How dare you let the old man kneel, and quickly help and persuade: "Old man, look, no matter how anxious we are, we will go to the fire pit and slowly say okay while roasting the fire...... Don't worry, our Red Army is the people's own army, and no matter what you do, the Red Army will definitely call the shots for you......"

The three of them finally persuaded the old man to get up, and helped him to the fire pit, and Li Guowei hurriedly gave the old man a cigarette.

"Old man, if you have any grievances, just rest assured. ā€

The old man has two in his sixties, his surname is Xiang, there is no big name, because he ranks third in the family, so he is called Xiang Laosan, his home is located in the mountains of more than ten miles west of Guitang Town, it is a small village with only 20 families and 100 people, and the old man is the head of the village.

Yesterday morning, forty or fifty bandits came to Xiangjia Village. Because the population of the village was small and all of them were poor, the bandits did not loot the village after entering the village, but first surrounded the village, and then asked the villagers to hand over a total of 500 yuan, and if there was no ocean, they would hand over 5,000 catties of grain.

How could this small village come up with so much money. I thought that the bandits would immediately kill people and something like that, but who knows, the young man led by this group of bandits actually just smiled, and there was no follow-up. However, these bandits live in Xiang Laosan's house, and they are forced to provide food and drink to Xiang Laosan, which can make Xiang Laosan miserable. Seeing that the bandit leader was faintly lustful for his eldest granddaughter, although he didn't do it for some reason, he felt that he couldn't be perfunctory anymore, and he had no way to ask for help, so he had to take the last ray of hope and muster up the courage to run to the town office for help.

What happened next was ridiculous and speechless.

Yesterday, Wang Weiqing held a feast to celebrate his father's birthday, and Xiang San, in order to allow Wang Weiqing to send troops to drive away this bandit as soon as possible, gritted his teeth and sent eighteen oceans.

Perhaps for the sake of these eighteen oceans, Wang Weiqing took the time to meet Xiang Laosan. As soon as he heard this, he directly sent Xiang Lao San on the grounds of 'today's holiday, don't talk about business, and talk about it tomorrow'.

If Xiang Lao San leaves directly, at least he will not be arrested and imprisoned on the spot, and the bad thing is that he chases Wang Weiqing for help with a dead face. Ironically, before Wang Weiqing could impatiently drive him away, what he revealed when he asked for help was heard by a rich middle-aged man...... This middle-aged man's name is Tian Yinglong, and he is a sitting dragon in Maoping Township, this county (in its territory, it exploits the people, but generally does not directly rob, but outside the territory, it directly evolves into a living bandit), after the Red Army came, he drove him away, and now he has become a bandit with one or two hundred people.

Tian Yinglong came to congratulate Wang Weiqing's father on his birthday, naturally just in case, the bandits who rushed into Xiangjia Village were his backup in case of accidents, and the leader was his eldest son Tian Dalong.

Don't say anything else, just say that one sent eighteen oceans and the other sent five hundred oceans, so there is no need to say much about the disposal of Xiang Laosan. Fortunately, Wang Weiqing felt that his father's birthday could not kill anyone, so Xiang Laosan escaped a catastrophe, and then was rescued by the Red Army, otherwise, he would definitely end up with an immortal and peeling off his skin...... This kind of absurd thing that only looks at strength and interests, regardless of the facts, the defendant can force his parents to arrest the plaintiff on the spot without asking the reason, is really speechless, and it also completely hurts Xiang Laosan's heart.

Although he knew that it was the Red Army that saved him, in his heart, he still had some distrust of the Red Army. It is conceivable that if it weren't for the sake of the villagers, he would have to rush for help, otherwise, he would have been impatient to slip away. The reason why he wanted the locals to translate was that the locals had always been xenophobic; second, it was necessary to let the locals translate, which had the effect of guaranteeing; and third, he really had to save the villagers and their families as soon as possible, and he had no other way but to ask the Red Army now.

This kind of absurdity caused fire in the hearts of a few people who listened to it. After Li Guowei said, 'I'll report, you two take the old man to the captives to have a look', got up with a calm face and walked out, Zhang Qingshan and Qi Zixuan hurriedly took Xiang Laosan to the place where the group of prisoners in the morning were held to see, but they were very disappointed, there was no Tian Yinglong.

Soon, the company commander Zhang Guozhi came and sent a platoon to fight bandits in Xiangjia Village with Xiang Laosan...... Although Zhang Qingshan did not participate in this crackdown on the bandits, he later heard that before the comrades-in-arms in a row arrived at Xiangjia Village, the bandits had already run away.

It was too common for bandits to enter the village, and no one paid attention to it, however, no one expected that this operation was just the beginning.

I don't know if it was the reason for the killing of Wang Weiqing that made the people firm their affirmation of the Red Army and greatly stimulated the people's enthusiasm for supporting the Red Army. In the next few days, the local tyrants and inferior gentry were beaten, and floating wealth was distributed, and the people actively reported and exposed, and spontaneously led the way, and there was no longer the previous attitude of observation; at the criticism meeting, the enthusiasm of the people was even higher and higher, because of the effective guidance, no more incidents of killing on the spot; slogans were posted, performances were organized, not to mention adults, even children were cheerfully joining......

The previous apathy suddenly turned into enthusiastic support, and this enthusiasm put the whole town of Guitang in the midst of a wave of red revolution. The Party Committee decided that in view of the vigorous development of the revolutionary wave in Guitang Town, in order to further consolidate the fruits of the revolutionary victory in Guitang Town, it was necessary to speed up the original resolutions......

On the morning of March 27, 1935, the fifth day of the arrival of the Red Army in Guitang Town, the Soviet Guitang Town Government was established: Wang Yuhong, an enlightened gentleman, was elected mayor and Zhang Qinggui was appointed deputy mayor...... The conference particularly praised Comrade Zhang Qingshan's active work and outstanding achievements.

Don't look at Zhang Qingshan as just a small soldier, but because he is the only local among the Red Army soldiers, out of the need to mobilize the people to the greatest extent, he has become 'a brick that needs to be moved wherever it is needed', such as the expansion of the Red (conscription) work. Originally, the people were a little hesitant, but as soon as he went to the conscription office and told him about his own affairs, he greatly dispelled everyone's concerns. For example, when it comes to publicity, the deeds of outsiders are definitely not as acceptable to the locals as they are......

On March 29, the Guitang Town Militia Self-Defense Force was established, with a total of eighty-three people, divided into three squadrons. Luo Ping, platoon commander of the third platoon of the third company, served as the captain of the Self-Defense Force, Li Guowei served as the leader of the second squadron, and Zhang Qingshan served as the deputy captain of the second squadron and the leader of the second squadron.
