In fact, what is really suitable for the development model of Nianping Village must be steady development, first expanding the peasant associations to various villages, uniting the villagers into a group, and then using the rights of the peasant associations to launch a vigorous campaign to fight the landlords in the villages.

The Red Army entered the village at a critical moment and only played the role of a promoter, distributing land and grain to the villagers, and beating the landlords.

This model was modest, weakened the Red Army's sense of existence, and strengthened the peasant associations, and the relationship between the Red Army and the peasant associations was 'dependent on each other', and the Red Army was able to develop the army with the help of the peasant associations, and it could also achieve the purpose of expanding the army and expanding the territory.

This was Xia Yuan's initial decision.

The advantage of such a decision was that it weakened the presence of the Red Army, and the enemy would mistake it for a local peasant uprising, or in the city, a riot carried out by a group of ignorant people, without making a splash.

This is also the reason why the members of the Nanhu Peasant Association have reached 10 million, and various reforms are vigorous, but there is no trace of them in the city, and no one even pays attention to them.

The use of peasant associations to hatch the Red Army was a clever trick of 'borrowing chickens to lay eggs', and without even alarming the enemy, it could achieve the goal of controlling most of the territory and expanding the ranks of the Red Army.

Another decision was to adopt the method of Nianping Village, which can be said to be very radical, the Red Army entered the village, defeated the landlord by force, summoned the villagers, punished the landlord according to the severity of the landlord's behavior in the village, and then divided the grain and land, and established a peasant association, which then managed the village.

This model was radical, weakened the sense of existence of the peasant associations, and strengthened the Red Army, although it was also possible to expand its territory and expand its ranks, but the reputation of the Red Army would definitely rise, and it was inevitable that the enemy would be alarmed, and it was inevitable that the enemy would come to encircle and suppress it.

Xia Yuan's heart was naturally extremely heavy, and he said: "Let's go, let's go down the mountain first, and this matter will be discussed at the base area." ”

"Yes!"

The village is so lively, the quilt factory here has just produced the first batch of pants designed by Xia Yuan, and there seems to be something going on over there, a group of people gathered together, discussing something fiercely, and the word 'bandit' can be faintly heard.

Several Red Army soldiers had solemn faces.

Yang Chenglin saw the situation over there, so he said, "Company commander, look at ......."

Xia Yuan squinted his eyes and said, "Let's go, go over and have a look." ”

Someone in the crowd saw Xia Yuan and the others, and shouted, "Company Commander Xia is here, let's tell Company Commander Xia about the matter, and Company Commander Xia will definitely make decisions for us." ”

When everyone saw Company Commander Xia, it was as if they had found the backbone, and they shouted 'Company Commander Xia', and several Red Army soldiers saluted Xia Yuan, and after Xia Yuan returned the salute, they asked about the situation.

A Red Army soldier said: "Report to the company commander, it is a mountain bandit, the mountain bandit asked our village to give grain, when the landlord was there, it was the landlord who collected the land rent, and distributed a part of the grain to the mountain bandits, but now the landlord has been defeated, and the grain in our village has not been handed over for a long time, and the mountain bandits came to warn, they tied up several villagers and asked us to take the grain, and if we don't take the grain, we will kill people." ”

"Mountain bandits!"

Xia Yuan's eyes condensed slightly, and finally found out the traces of the mountain bandits in the memory of the original body, most of the mountain bandits were forced to go up the mountain by refugees in a desperate situation, especially this year, all kinds of natural and man-made disasters, plus the Central Plains War, the number of refugees in the Central Plains alone is as high as 50 million, and there are even more people who are forced to go to Liangshan.

The state has also been affected to some extent, and a large number of refugees have moved north or south, or into the towns and cities to mix with unemployed workers and artisans.

There are many mountains in the prefecture, and there are naturally many bandits, and their goal is food, as for money, it is estimated that they do not have much extravagance, and the peasants in the village themselves do not have much money, and they are exploited and exploited by the landlords, let alone much money.

Xia Yuan understood the truth of the matter, it was really an unsettled, and one case was raised again, this was the bane left by the former landlord, just after the harvest season, the landlord had not handed over the grain to the bandits, so he was beaten down, it is estimated that he saw that the address of Nianping Village had not paid the grain for a long time, so he came to the door, about these things, he really didn't know.

"The bandits are so rampant, how many people have they kidnapped?"

A hint of fierceness flashed in Xia Yuan's eyes, and he asked the villagers about the situation.

"Four people, Lao Liang's family was arrested by bandits when they went to work in the field, and it was the youngest son who put down the mountain, who was responsible for bringing us letters." The Red Army soldiers beckoned to a dirty, tear-stained child in the crowd, who looked to be only eight or nine years old, and whose complexion had turned dark after years of working in the fields.

Xia Yuan squatted down, reached out and touched the child's head, and asked, "How old is it?" ”

The child seemed to be a little afraid of Xia Yuan, and didn't dare to look up at him, staring at the ground with red eyes.

A villager said: "Company Commander Xia, he is fourteen years old this year, and he will be fifteen soon." ”

Xia Yuan's eyes moved slightly, looking at the thin child in front of him, it was really difficult to associate him with a twelve-year-old, at most eight or nine years old, but he didn't expect that he was already fourteen years old.

Severe malnutrition leads to the child's incomplete development, at the age of fourteen or fifteen, nutrition can not keep up, the thin arm seems to have only a piece of black skin wrapped in bones, cheeks and cheekbones are promising, hair is dry like weeds, and the eyes are a little dull.

Xia Yuan held his shoulder and said, "It's okay, don't be afraid, the Red Army will call the shots for you, believe me, I will save your family!" ”

He stood up, asked the villagers to take good care of the children, and said to Yang Chenglin: "How many mountain bandits are there near Nianping Village? ”

Yang Chenglin thought for a while and said: "This, we don't know very well, we only know that there are the most mountain bandits on Snake Mountain more than 20 miles away from our village, and there should be thousands of people, and we don't know the specific number, the mountain bandits in other places are all small hills, like one hundred and ten people." ”

He said again: "By the way, company commander, you can ask Old Man Li, he should know." ”

Xia Yuan waved his hand and said, "If we want to move the mountain bandits, we need to know enough about the mountain bandits. ”

His eyes moved, and he said: "The development of Nianping Village in all directions has been carried out in an orderly manner for more than a month, except for the lack of development of the armed forces, but all the developments are to prepare for the development of the armed forces in the future, but this world is too chaotic, and it doesn't give us so much time to prepare." ”

"There is no way, any peaceful development is won by ourselves, whether it is the Red Army in West Hankou, or the landlords who oppress and exploit the peasants, or the tyrannical mountain bandits, and we have a biggest enemy, time waits for no one."

Xia Yuan's eyes fell into contemplation, raised his head, and a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes: "Call the deputy company commander to convene an internal meeting of the Red Army!" Since we don't have time, let's fight for it ourselves! ”

Yang Chenglin saw the fierce color flashing in the company commander's eyes, and knew what the company commander was thinking, and stood up and responded: "Yes!" ”

He walked away quickly with the second squad leader.

Xia Yuan took Sun Dashan and was about to go up the mountain, a figure suddenly stepped forward and wanted to stop Xia Yuan, Sun Dashan's reaction was not bad, and when the figure did not get close to Xia Yuan's side, he hurriedly stood up, "Hey, hey, what are you doing." ”

Zhou Jiwang clenched his fists and said, "Company Commander Xia, I want to join the Red Army!" ”

Xia Yuan turned his head to look at Zhou Jiwang's resentful eyes, thought for a moment, and said: "Your purpose is revenge, but our Red Army team is not just a revenge team, once you enter the Red Army team, you have to leave your family affairs behind, all for the Red Army and the people." ”

"You have to think about it, joining the ranks of the Red Army may not be able to avenge your parents with your own hands, but our army will definitely avenge your parents!"

A person who carries the hatred of his loved ones is incomparably murderous on the battlefield.

Such a person is even liked by the White Army, without him, only such a person will really fight with the enemy when he goes to the battlefield, while most of the others are taking military salaries and going to the battlefield, and protecting themselves is the top priority.

But such a person also has drawbacks, once an impulsive person is on the head, it is very likely that he will forget the task, and his mind is full of hatred when he sees the enemy, and he will only think about how to kill his relatives and enemies.

If you train it, you must be a good soldier.

Xia Yuan needs to remind him that the Red Army team is different from other teams, and if you really join the Red Army team, you must separate your own affairs from the affairs of the army, and you can't be confused.

Zhou Jiwang's eyes were firm, and his voice was sonorous and powerful, "Lian Commander Xia, I have thought about it, as long as I can avenge my parents, anyone can take revenge." ”

Xia Yuan smiled and said: "To have such an ideological awareness, yes, joining the ranks of the Red Army, you are our brothers, comrades-in-arms who fight side by side, your hatred is the hatred of all of us, the hatred of the people, and the revenge of all of us. ”

He said, "Go ahead, after our meeting is over in a while, you can go to the platoon leader, and join the platoon for the time being." ”

Except for the four that are not full of a row, the others are full, Xia Yuan positioned the first row as a sharp knife platoon, according to the daily training, and a training meeting will be held in the future, and the victorious person will join the sharp knife platoon, Xia Yuan intends to build a platoon into a team full of honor in the whole company.

Such a contingent can only make the Red Army soldiers extremely proud.

It's just that this plan has not yet begun, and it will only begin when it is time for real external expansion.

Zhou Jiwang himself is burdened with a sea of blood hatred, and this hatred will turn into a motivation to support him to train hard and become stronger as soon as possible to avenge his parents, Zhou Jiwang is a good seedling.

Looking at Zhou Jiwang's back, Sun Dasha scratched his head and asked a little puzzled: "Company commander, how can such a person feel like a dumbfounder?" ”

Xia Yuan looked at Dasha curiously: "You, you still have the face to say that others are stunned, how many days have I taught you to read?" You will have three words, you know how many Red Army soldiers want not to be able to get it. ”

Sun Dasha scratched his head a little embarrassed.

The two walked towards the mountain.

The name of the mountain is Longfeng Mountain, it is rumored in the village that there used to be a dragon and a phoenix inhabiting this mountain, and then disappeared, people call this mountain Longfeng Mountain, and now it has become the base of the Red Army, the base area has been developed, and the tunnel is also being dug.

It's a pity that the industrial base of the whole of China is very weak and the technology is very backward, and even the Central Army of the National Army needs to equip itself by purchasing weapons, and the production of arsenals alone is not enough to support the consumption of all the troops of the National Army.

Not to mention the Red Army, which itself had a weak base.

Xia Yuan is also having a headache for the arms, but now the appearance of the mountain bandits has given him a new idea, and he may be able to solve the current lack of weapons and equipment.

In a wooden house on the mountain, the beard and buckteeth that had been locked up in Nianping Village for a long time had long lost their former sharpness, lying on the bed, staring blankly at the roof.

Bucktooth said in a hoarse voice, "How long are they going to keep us?" ”

Hu Zi said: "You completely deserve it, you shouldn't have told them our purpose directly, now it's okay, we're going to be locked up here for the rest of our lives, and I can't figure out what will greet us next." ”

Buckteeth grinned, revealing a mouthful of big yellow teeth, "Didn't I think that the other party could let us go back?" ”

Beard looked at Bucktooth as if he was looking at an idiot and said, "Are you an idiot or are you an idiot?" Forget it, I'm too lazy to talk to you. ”

The beard turned over and stopped paying attention to the buckteeth, to put it nicely, the buckteeth are simple, and to put it ugly, the buckteeth are idiots.

He now regrets coming out with this idiot very much, but it's a pity that it's useless to regret it now, they were arrested too early, they didn't even touch the other party's village, they were caught by the other party on the way, it was useless to regret it, I just hope that the other party won't do anything to them.

"Beard, beard, look."

Bucktooth didn't know when he was lying at the door, looking through the window at the two Red Army soldiers who were walking not far away, one of them was Xia Yuan, whom they hadn't seen much for a long time.

"This is, the Xia Company Commander in their mouths." The beard's eyes were slightly condensed, and when he saw that the people were getting closer and closer, he leaned on the door and shouted: "Company Commander Xia, Company Commander Xia, I have something to look for you!" ”

Bucktooth was stunned for a moment: "Beard, what are you doing?" ”

The beard turned his head and said coldly: "Shut up, don't you want to go out from here?" Shut up if you want to get out! ”

"Oh." Buckteeth shrunk their necks.

Sun Dasha said: "Company commander, it's the two tails of Laohe Village." ”

Xia Yuan suddenly remembered that he had caught the two tails of Laohe Village before, and there were a lot of things to deal with in the village and the base area, so he forgot about the two of them, after the base area was established, the soldiers of the Red Army locked the two of them here and took care of them three meals a day, although they were not as free as in Laohe Village, but they were definitely not treated badly here.

The standard of their meals was the same as that of the Red Army soldiers.

Xia Yuan walked over and looked around, there were two Red Army soldiers feeding sheep next to him, who should also be in charge of supervising the two.

"What's the matter with me?"
