Chapter 19 Fight local tyrants and divide the land

"Folks! We are the Chinese People's Army, and we are your children's soldiers! Now more than a dozen members of the big landlord Ma family have been arrested by the People's Army and are about to be killed, come and see!" Ma Lao Liu, who usually fights more in the town, banged his broken gong, and accompanied by two soldiers, walked through the streets and shouted on the streets.

The habit of Chinese people to watch the excitement was unchanged in that era, let alone in a country town where there was not much entertainment.

"Old lady Ma's family has been arrested! Who is so bold!"

"Yes, Mrs. Ma is good friends with the county master in the town!"

"You see those soldiers are really weird, and the clothes they wear are fancy ......"

"Alas, how did these people who forgot their ancestors cut the braids left by their ancestors......"

After getting through the initial panic, a few brave people also slowly walked out of the house, and after seeing the strange soldiers standing guard, they did not drive them away, and the crowd on the street slowly increased. Especially after hearing that the wealthy and powerful old lady Ma in the town was arrested, the discussion among the crowds gathered in the streets and alleys suddenly increased several times!

"Look, the people of the Ma family have been escorted to the vegetable market at the entrance of the town!" I don't know who shouted, and all of a sudden, all the people rushed towards the biggest street in the town.

"Commissar!

Looking at the dense crowd of people in the audience, Zhao Guang nodded, wearing the colonel's uniform issued by himself, stood on the stage and said loudly: "Fathers and brothers and sisters of Sansha Town, we are the Chinese People's Army, an army dedicated to upholding justice for the people, today we liberated Sansha Town, captured the big landlord Old Lady Ma's family, who has been bullied by the Ma family in normal times, everyone can boldly stand on the stage to correct them, today our People's Army is the master for him!"

After listening to his words, the crowd began to move. The buzz began to grow louder. However, after five or six minutes, no one dared to come out, which shows how powerful the Ma family usually has in the town!

"Don't worry about anything, we have defeated the army of the Qing Dynasty, so no one will bully us in the future, you can come up and speak freely. After a pause, Zhao Guang glanced at the crowd below, and shouted: "Don't you want to get justice for the grievances you and your relatives have suffered?"

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency...... Little Lao'er is willing to come to the stage to correct him!" At this moment, a bony old arm was raised in the crowd.

"It's the old man Wang......"

"Yes, last year, his daughter Cuihua was forced to death by Ma Youcai, the youngest son of Old Lady Ma!"

"Yes, it's no wonder that Old Man Wang will come out, he is a lot older, and he doesn't even have a person to support his old age, and now he stands up to avenge his daughter, probably he is also out of the way......"

"Okay, go over and two people pick up this old man!" Zhao Guang was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered. As long as someone comes to power for this kind of thing and turns out the hatred that everyone usually buries deep in their hearts, then his goal will be achieved.

"My lord, the little old man was born with a cheap life, and he doesn't have a name, but his surname is Wang, and I am the fourth, so everyone calls me Wang Laosi! I hope the adults can call the shots for my hard-working daughter, woo woo ......" As he spoke, the old man pounced and knelt in front of Zhao Guang and cried.

"The old man, please get up, our people's army is not happy to bow down, if the old man has any grievances in his heart, just say that we will make the decision for the old man!" Huo Guang hurriedly stretched out his hand to help the old man up and said.

"My lord Mingjian, my daughter Wang Cuihua, sixteen years old, was taken by Ma Youcai, the youngest son of the Ma family, in the town last year, and was robbed to the house, meaning yùyín humiliation, my daughter refused to obey, and was beaten to death by that beast, poor I am old, but I don't even have a person to support the elderly, my lord, you have to make the decision for me......!

The old man's description aroused the hatred of more people, and almost as soon as he finished speaking, a young man in his twenties, but walking with a little lameness, stepped onto the high platform!

"My lord, the villain's name is Tuesday Dog, Ma Decai, the second son of the Ma family, went to my house two months ago to collect rent, just because I paid two days late, I let my subordinates break my left leg, and the old mother was even more angry, my lord......"

"Adult, villain report, Ma Chengcai, the eldest son of the Ma family, as the mayor of this town, wantonly increased all kinds of taxes, and if we can't pay it, we will be forced to sell our children and daughters......"

"Adult ......"

The hatred that had accumulated for many years immediately turned into a surging crusade against the big cháo, and the ordinary people who were usually oppressed shouted angrily, which frightened the Ma family father and son on the stage, and their faces fell to the ground with pale faces, and a smell of urine sāo came from under them.

Frowning, Huo Hu was also shocked by the roar of thousands of people, and said with some emotion: "Now I finally realize why the young master has repeatedly emphasized the need to deal with the peasant issue, the power of the people is really powerful!"

"Yes, what we have to do now is to channel this angry force reasonably, and let them contribute to our lofty ideals of overthrowing the Qing Dynasty and establishing a new China!" Qian Gangshen, who was standing next to him, said solemnly.

"Well, we must be cautious, all officers and soldiers must strictly abide by our 'three disciplines and eight doctrines,' and if there is any violation, we must deal with it seriously!"

"By the way, I forgot one thing! Before leaving, the young master gave down the task of organizing the art troupe, and stipulated that after occupying the place, propaganda activities would be launched immediately!" Qian Gang said suddenly.

"Then leave this matter to the political commissar, after all, he is the political chief, and he is responsible for these propaganda matters. Huo Hu said with a fuss.

"I now declare that Old Lady Ma and her three sons committed the crime of forcible aggression and robbery of other people's property, resulting in the death of five people and the injury of sixteen others, and after being corrected by many people, the evidence of the crime is conclusive, and in accordance with the provisions of the civil law of the Chinese People's Army base areas, four people are sentenced to death!

With Zhao Guang's sentence announced, the four executing soldiers raised their rifles in their hands!

"Bang ......" Four crisp gunshots, with a large handful of blood splashed around, and the death of the four made the crowd suddenly quiet, and cheered feverishly.

Our People's Army will set up an office in the Ma family's mansion, and all landless families can go and register, and we will distribute the Ma family's land evenly according to the population. In addition, we will also buy and sell the shops of the Ma family at market prices, of course, those who do not have enough money can also rent them first, and then pay them back after making money! In addition, we will reduce all miscellaneous taxes in the town, and the agricultural tax will be fully implemented for three years, and after three years, it will be levied at the rate of ten taxes! Of course, all these policies have a premise, that is, everyone should also cut off the braids on the back of their heads! Of course, we will not force everyone, but if you come late, then there will be no land to be allocated to you!"

Everything that happened in Sansha Town was also played out in the other nine villages at the same time, and the policies for the people's livelihood formulated by Huo Shan himself hit the nail on the head, and the various policies that were drawn up more than 50 years in advance blew a new wind under the thick iron curtain of the Qing Dynasty! Similarly, one day later, the People's Army, which occupied the entire Xiapu County except for the county seat, vigorously launched the activities of cracking down on local tyrants and dividing the land! Political, economic, cultural, and educational everything began to develop in accordance with the script that Huo Shan had prepared long ago! At this moment, history has entered a future that no one knows.
