Jiang Qiang was chatting with Tang Juwu and Jiang Baili in the conference room. "I think we have to wait for Germany to attack France before letting Wang Yizhe move, because we hurt the Japanese at this time, and they don't have the courage to fight those countries in Nanyang," Jiang Qiang said to Tang Juwu. Do we have to do this? Jiang Baili asked Jiang Qiang and said. Jiang Qiang said, "There is no way to do this, because if we don't do this, how can those Western countries bow their heads like China, and we now have to increase our efforts to produce weapons and increase support for the Red Party, so that if a civil war breaks out, at least the Red Party can have fewer deaths." ”

Tang Juwu said, "Where are we going back to Shanghai in the afternoon, Shandong depends on you alone," Jiang Qiang said, "I originally wanted to go to Shanghai to rest for a while, it seems that it is not possible," Jiang Baili thought about things for a long time, and after thinking about it, he said to Jiang Qiang, "Where is half of the land in Guangdong that is now occupied by the Japanese, see if you want to move," Jiang Qiang said to Jiang Baili, "It's not the time yet, wait, maintain this situation now, and the Japanese don't dare to fight Hunan, so as to drag down the pace of the Japanese, Let the Japanese be arrogant first, and the chairman of the NPC committee has asked for a loan this time, if you have an idea, I think you will lend 500 million yuan to the Nanjing government, right? Otherwise, the common people below will suffer, anyway, we are not short of money, as long as Germany does something to France, we will have a chance at this time," Tang Juwu looked at Jiang Qiang and shook his head and said, "Just listen to you, and let Qin Siyu move where in Tianjin and take Chengde down, in this case, the Japanese will feel scared." It shows that Tianjin Qin Siyu's strength has strengthened again. ”

The next day, Jiang Qiang took his turn to walk around, taking several military and political dignitaries to comfort the troops who were sticking to the front line, visiting the wounded soldiers in the hospital, visiting the families of military martyrs and model workers, and inspecting the people's livelihood in remote mountainous areas, and so on! This series of operations took a full 3 days, and naturally there were accompanying reporters to shoot, record and follow up during the whole process!

Jiang Qiang does not want to put on a show and engage in formalism, but through these routines, he can not only establish a glorious image of being close to the people, but also further enhance the cohesion and centripetal force of the military and the people, so it must be there and it must be implemented!

At the same time, more than 10 newly recovered counties and cities in the "icebreaking operation" are being digested at full speed, and the garrison army, government civil servants, construction teams, gendarmerie brigades and other departments are pouring in in to carry out their work at the fastest speed! In particular, the coastal line of defense is at the priority level, not only is there a large number of troops stationed, but batteries, fortifications and radar stations are already being built day and night, and it will take a month or two at most to build the coastal line of defense to be impregnable!

On February 24, Wang Zhijun, the military representative of the red regime in the Jiaodong region, visited him, and Jiang Qiang personally met with Wang Zhijun in his study. After a period of greetings, Wang Zhijun returned to the truth and said: "Commander Jiang, there is nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and today I came to visit, in addition to New Year's greetings and thanks, there is another important matter to discuss!" ”

Jiang Qiang nodded and smiled: "Representative Wang, we are all old acquaintances, and our friendship is not a day or two, so do you still need to be polite with me?" If there is anything, just talk about it, as long as you can help, you will never shirk it! "Thank you very much, haha!"

Wang Zhijun clasped his hands into fists, and then said: "That's it! Thanks to your care, the Third Detachment of the Shandong People's Anti-Japanese Guerrilla of the Eighth Route Army has survived the long-term siege and many encirclements and suppressions of the Japanese army, and has now grown into an armed force of more than 7,000 people. Our army is preparing to launch an attack on the county seat of Yutai County and the county seat of Jinxiang County in the near future in order to open up contact with your army!

For this reason, we hope to get the support and cooperation of your army, and can put positive pressure on Yutai County, Jinxiang County and Jining County to attract the attention of the Japanese army! In July 1938, the number of the Fifth Army of the Shandong People's Anti-Japanese Salvation Army was changed to the "Third Detachment of the Shandong People's Anti-Japanese Guerrilla of the Eighth Route Army".

"It's easy, no problem at all!" Jiang Qiang did not hesitate at all, and directly agreed. First, at present, the area occupied by the Huaxia Tiger Army already borders these three counties, and sending troops to respond is just a gesture. Second, Yutai County, Jinxiang County, Jining and other areas have long been the anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines of the Red Regime, and the Fifth Army has deep roots in these areas!

Although it is said that others are not allowed to snore on the side of the couch, Jiang Qiang knows the trend of historical development, and in the end, he has to unite his troops, so he is also happy to be a favor and let the Fifth Army occupy two county towns and be neighbors with himself! As for the Shandong Military Region, due to the "ice-breaking operation" some time ago, it has been fighting for two months in a row, and it takes time to digest the large amount of lost territory that has been recovered, and the ammunition reserves that have been consumed must be slowly replenished!

Therefore, in the past month, Jiang Qiang does not plan to continue to expand, so he has to develop lewdly for a period of time, and it is also conducive to the development of the Eighth Route Army by ceding Lunan to the Eighth Route Army. After receiving Jiang Qiang's affirmative answer, Wang Zhijun suddenly nodded with joy and said: "Thank you Commander Jiang, this kindness and friendship will never be forgotten by our Red Party members!" ”

Jiang Qiang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Representative Wang is polite, I have always admired your army very much, and now that the national crisis is at hand, we should work together to resist foreign humiliation!" "That's right! I am very much looking forward to fighting side by side with Commander Jiang in the future and killing the little devils together! ”

Wang Zhijun praised one in a very good mood, and then said: "Commander Jiang, I have been in Shandong for a year, and I have seen a lot of exciting new things, and I have also learned a lot of things that cannot be learned in books. But at the same time, I still have a lot of questions in my heart, and if I can, I hope Commander Jiang can solve my doubts! Jiang Qiang knew that the meat drama was coming, and immediately smiled: "If Representative Wang has anything you want to ask, just ask, I will definitely know everything!" "Then thank you Commander Jiang in advance!"

Wang Zhijun clenched his fists again with great sincerity, and then muttered: "I know that Commander Jiang loves soldiers like a son, and he also cares for the people, and has issued a large number of effective laws and regulations to protect the fundamental interests of ordinary people!"

However, the land annexation within the jurisdiction of your army is very serious, and there have always been a large number of poor and landless peasants who have become tenant farmers and live by renting the landlords' land. Jiang Qiang smiled and asked, "Representative Wang, you must have read Das Kapital, right?" Wang Zhijun nodded inexplicably and said, "Well, I did read it, and now I will study it carefully when I have time!" Commander Jiang, what's wrong? ”

Jiang Qiang continued: "Marx mentioned the English enclosure movement in the 15th century in the first volume of Capital. In this movement, large numbers of yeoman and free peasants, as well as those in the monasteries, were ruthlessly deprived of their land and property, thrown into abject poverty and became the wage-proletariat!

Yes, this is the primitive accumulation of capital, the process of which is indeed very cruel and despicable, but the productive forces determine the relations of production, and in each historical stage there will be a different social system! The land enclosure movement separated the peasants from the land, making the peasants fewer and fewer. The peasants, who had lost their land, partly became wage workers on the farms and migrated to the cities, preparing a large number of free laborers for the development of British capitalism.

At the same time, the enclosure movement also destroyed cottage industries and expanded the domestic market for industry, thus greatly promoting the industrial development of Britain, making Britain the leader of European commerce in the 17th and 18th centuries. So from a certain point of view, this is nothing more than an inevitable historical process after the development of the productive forces to a certain extent! ”

After talking about "Capital", Jiang Qiang changed his words and said: "The reason why I didn't defeat the local tyrants and divide the land like your army is because I also need a large number of free laborers!" And more importantly, I can provide enough employment opportunities, so that those landless farmers can earn more income through labor than farming, so that they can all live a good life!

Of course, I will not allow malicious land annexation, usury and other illegal and criminal acts! In addition, let me give you a simple example: there are military, government civil servants, factories, companies and other employment units in our jurisdiction! An ordinary worker's monthly income is about 400 yuan, which can fully meet the basic living expenses of a family of three for three months. ”

"This! I have to admit that working here is much better than farming! Wang Zhijun nodded and sighed after thinking for a while: "I am a farmer, when a farmer faces the loess with his back to the sky, shoulders and backs grinding day after day, it is really too hard!"

Working in factories and companies here, you don't have to suffer from the sun and rain, and you don't have to worry about drought and floods, as long as you work hard, you can get paid well on time! "That's right! That's what you want! ”

Jiang Qiang smiled, and then carefully talked about the historical changes in land policy and related knowledge. As a person who has come from the past, Jiang Qiang knows that land policy has been an eternal topic since ancient times, and countless peasant uprisings and proletarian revolutions in history have taken this as an opportunity, which can be said to be a tortuous development process of continuous exploration.

With history as a mirror and a system in hand, Jiang Qiang will naturally not take a detour. "Well, that's my personal opinion of Das Kapital! So I really want to test these ideas through practice, there is a good saying that whether it is a white cat or a black cat, catching a mouse is a good cat! ”

Jiang Qiang spoke freely for more than an hour, even explaining in detail the primitive society, slave society, feudal society, capitalism, and Soviet socialism in political textbooks. "Huh? Whether it's a white cat or a black cat, is it a good cat to catch a mouse? This seems to make a lot of sense! After listening to it for a while, Wang Zhijun suddenly felt that his head was a little insufficient, and many firm beliefs and ideals began to collide fiercely!

Wang Zhijun kept recording what he heard in a notebook, as if he were a primary school student. "Well, that's right! There is no immutable golden rule in this world, let alone any prophets and saints, no matter what must be treated in two with dialectical materialism, we only need to take its essence and remove its dross, and we must not be dogmatic! ”

Jiang Qiang knew that these words were very advanced, but he wanted to pass them to Yan'an through this window, so that he could make a card in advance, and at the same time make a model with practical actions, so as not to let those detours go again. After a pause, Yang Fan then asked, "Representative Wang, do you have any other questions?" "Huh? Wait, let me take a look at it first. ”

Wang Zhijun was stunned for a while, and then asked with a smile: "Commander Jiang, I also want to ask if you don't collect land tax and don't vigorously mobilize the masses to cultivate grain, aren't you afraid that the land will be abandoned and there will be a grain shortage?" ”

Jiang Qiang said with a smile: "Representative Wang asked well, the people regard food as the sky, and only when they have food in their hands can they not panic!" Although I did not carry out land reform, I did not relax in agriculture, water conservancy, seed cultivation, pesticides and fertilizers! ”

Then, Jiang Qiang carefully explained what is called macroeconomic regulation and market economy, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of small-scale peasant economy and large-scale farms! "Wow, that's still the case!"

Wang Zhijun was stunned when he heard this, and after recording his notes, he clasped his fists in front of Jiang Qiang and said: "Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years, Commander Jiang, your words made me stunned!" Teachable! Teachable! Jiang Qiang waved his hand and smiled: "Where, where!" I'm just talking about some immature ideas, and a lot of things need to be proven through practice! ”

"That's right, practice makes sense!" Wang Zhijun nodded approvingly! In order to avoid unnecessary misleading, Jiang Qiang kindly reminded: "Finally, I want to say that my situation here is quite special, and the relevant system adopted is actually not suitable in other places, at least not at this stage!" "Haha, I understand!"

Wang Zhijun nodded approvingly again! Not to mention anything else, just not to levy land tax but to financial subsidies, can not be applied anywhere, the current China is a big agricultural country, without agricultural tax the whole country does not want to run!

The reason why Jiang Qiang is so sassy is because there is enough industrial system and tertiary industry to support the creation of value, and there is no need for agricultural blood transfusion! "Commander Jiang, thank you for your doubts, please stay! Knowing that you are busy, I will not delay your precious time too much! In addition, regarding the matter of the Fifth Army, I will contact you as soon as there is any new development. ”

After two or three hours of long talking, Wang Zhijun reluctantly got up and said goodbye. "Haha! Representative Wang walked slowly, welcome to visit at any time! Jiang Qiang sent them all the way outside the gate, and then turned back to his home.

Soon, the third detachment got the news, and a group of high-ranking generals and officials gathered around the headquarters for a military meeting. Liao Rongbiao took the telegram extremely excitedly and said: "Let me tell you a great news, the superiors have agreed to our request to fight, and have won the support of General Jiang Qiang, commander-in-chief of the Shandong Military Region!"

The Shandong Military Region will fully cooperate with our Fifth Army to recover Yutai County and Changxing County! Ma Yaonan blushed and seconded: "That's right, our third detachment was founded on December 26, 1937, with only more than 100 people and dozens of guns at first, and now it has grown into a powerful armed force of more than 7,000 people, it's time to capture the county and create a new base!" ”

Yao Zhongming nodded excitedly and said: "Haha, with the support of the Shandong Military Region, these two counties must be in our pocket!" This battle will be won! With the expansion of Jiang Qiang's power, Liao Rongbiao, Ma Yaonan and others were not only excited and encouraged, but also felt a lot of pressure! If Jiang Qiang fights further, it will be tantamount to "annexing" their base areas.

Therefore, they are really in a hurry now, and they want to "do it themselves" and recover the two county towns as a base! "That being said, we still have to be cautious! The Japanese army has a wing in Jinxiang County and Yutai County, plus five or six thousand puppet troops fighting for the tiger!

Even if there is the strategy of the Shandong army and the internal response of the Chengcheng puppet army, this battle will definitely not be easy! "Zhao Ming, as the chief of staff, is very cautious, because this battle is indeed a big battle of honor and life and death for them, and they really can't afford to lose!

Ma Xiaoyun smiled confidently: "Don't be afraid, the little devil is already a frightened bird, we have been planning for a long time, even if there will be some sacrifices, but the victory will definitely belong to us!" "Haha, everyone has a point! Then let's take a good look at it now and make the battle plan more perfect!

This battle can only be won and not defeated, although we are not as strong as friendly troops, but only two counties are not a problem! Ma Yaonan pushed his glasses and waved his big hand with great ambition! After fighting guerrilla warfare in the mountains for more than a year, and fighting many tough battles with Japanese devils, Ma Yaonan has grown from a teacher to a qualified military commander!

Although I heard that Jiang Qiang has a very good set of internal affairs and economic construction, and Jiang Qiang's defense area is like a paradise on earth, Ma Yaonan will not consider letting Jiang Qiang "rebuild after the war" for the time being! The main reason is that Ma Yaonan is a native of Yutai County, and he can recover his hometown and free the people of the county from the slavery of devils, so he is naturally full of pride!

At this time, Ma Yaonan was full of good policies that he was eager to practice and implement, and he wanted to make the people who have always supported him live a good life through his own efforts. "Yo Xi! Someone came, immediately sent an order to go down to the defense area to clear the fortified walls, gather the common people of all the villages, and let them block the bullets for the imperial warriors! ”

"Yaga! Immediately implement the strong wall and clear the wilderness, but there are those who resist, and they are all dead and dead! "Warriors of the Empire! We have no way out, and the headquarters has ordered us to die in the city! If the Shandong army comes, we will first kill all the Chinese people in the city, and then fight with them in street battles, destroy all the houses and buildings, burn everything, and leave them with a dead city and an empty city! ”

"Hello!" "His Majesty the Emperor is onboard!" "Great Japanese Empire onboard!" "The Great Japanese Imperial Army is onboard!"

One order after another was delivered, the Japanese devils in the defense line all went crazy from top to bottom, and groups of devils with puppet army troops began to rush to various villages outside the county to carry out sweeping and massacres!

The Japanese squad leader Ishino Cangda led a team of devil soldiers and more than 50 puppet soldiers, and set off from the stronghold in less than an hour and arrived at Xiaowangzhuang in less than an hour. Standing on a slope at the entrance of the village, after picking up the binoculars and looking at them, Ishino Cang ordered viciously: "Imperial warriors, arrest all the Chinese people in the village, and then burn down all the houses!" If there is resistance, you will be killed! ”

"Hello!" "Hey, hey, the flower girl in the village is very big!" "Yo Si! The flower girl's fine skin and meat are tender and fun! "Let those Chinese people know today how powerful our Great Japanese Empire is!"

A group of devil soldiers around Ishino Cangda all showed greedy and lustful expressions, they used to be more or less disciplined, and with the existence of militia guerrillas, they didn't dare to go to the village alone to cause trouble. The order to "clear the wilderness" received today is actually equivalent to indulging them in burning, killing, and plundering, and these devil soldiers who are full of cruelty in their hearts have long been looking forward to this day!

"Long live the Imperial Japanese Army! Today, we must let these ignorant people taste the power of the imperial army! Cao Mumu, the puppet army head beside the devil, showed a flattering smile, not feeling guilty and guilty about the upcoming heinous crime, but full of perverted ** and pleasure!

Because he is a ruffian hooligan in Xiaowangzhuang, because of many evil deeds such as stealing chickens and touching dogs and bullying other people's daughters-in-law, he was expelled from the village with sticks by the people of Xiaowangzhuang! "Yo Si! Captain Cao, immediately lead the team into the village and ask the village chief to gather all the villagers! If there is resistance, shoot and kill! ”

Ishino Cangda stretched out a thumbs up to the dogleg beside him with great satisfaction, he was a butcher before he joined the army, and after joining the army, he was promoted to the captain of the squad with his brute strength and ruthlessness. After receiving the order of "Fortified Castle Kiyono", Ishino Cangda felt a little frightened, but also a cruel excitement.

What I am afraid of is that the above told "they are holding their positions and must not take half a step back", these few sentences are enough to prove that the defenders of Yutai County are about to encounter an unprecedented crisis. The excitement is that they can vent all the most primitive bestiality and cruelty in human nature without any scruples, and even if they die, they will drag the Chinese people to bury them. "Hello! Please rest assured, Captain Ishino, these foolish people don't dare to resist the majesty of the imperial army at all! ”

After Cao Mu nodded, he waved his hand at the puppet army troops not far away: "Brothers, enter the village!" Have fun today! "Hey, grandma's! Lao Tzu has been short of money lately, go! "The little daughter-in-law of the Yu family, I have long been greedy! Hey! ”

The puppet army composed of these hooligans and ruffians, where does they have shame and a heart of good and evil, and today there are Japanese devils to support them, so they are not crazy and evil! "Oh, no! Japs and doglegs are here again! "Are these brutes coming to steal food again?" "Woo woo, how can you live these days!" "Girl! Hide away and don't let these brutes see you! ”

There were devils and puppet soldiers at the entrance of the village, and the villagers of Xiaowangzhuang soon knew about it, but they were rooted in the village, and they were all dragged with their families, so they couldn't run even if they wanted to. "Come on, fence off the house!"

Cao Mu led a team of puppet soldiers directly to the house of the village chief Wang Dewen, glared at Wang Dewen with fierce eyes and said, "Old thing, do you still know me?" Seeing Cao Mu's vicious appearance, Wang Dewen naturally knew him, and when he saw Cao Mu's vicious appearance, his eyelids suddenly jumped and said: "Cao Mu, you, what are you going to do?" ”

"What? Haha, I'm naturally here to repay the favor! Cao Mu glared at Wang Dewen viciously, and said fiercely: "The Japanese Imperial Army came to Xiaowangzhuang today to announce something good, you immediately call the villagers to come to the meeting!" If you dare to say half a word, I'll smash your head! After speaking, Cao Mu took out the box cannon and aimed it at Wang Dewen's head. You, you, are also a Chinese person, how can you act for the tiger? ”

Seeing this posture, Wang Dewen naturally knew that there would definitely be nothing good today, most of it was a catastrophe, and he was willing to give in easily. "You old thing, you're looking for death! Boom! ”

Cao Mu snorted coldly, and then slammed Wang Dewen's forehead with a pistol, only to see that Wang Dewen's head was bleeding in an instant, and streams of red blood flowed down his cheeks to his clothes. "Ah, you bastard! I'm fighting with you today! ”

Wang Dewen is also a village head, and he is usually highly respected in the village, but today he suffered such humiliation and beating, where can he swallow this breath, so he simply stretched out his heart and grabbed the pistol in Cao Mu's hand! "You old thing who doesn't know how to live or die, I can't keep you today!"

Cao Mu's eyes were fierce, and he clenched his left hand and slammed it into Wang Dewen's head. "Ahh Wang Dewen's head was in severe pain, and he had a brief dizziness, and he took a few steps backwards one after another. "Old thing, you give me death!" Cao Mu picked up the pistol and pulled the trigger at Wang Dewen again and again.

Bang bang, a few shots went down, and a few blood holes appeared in Wang Dewen's chest, and then the person fell to the ground as soon as he fell back.

"Ah, Daddy! You brute, I'll fight with you! Wang Jiacai, who was hiding behind the door, exploded with a buzzing head, and his blood was surging, and he couldn't care about the others and rushed out with a wooden stick on the top door. Ah, Sister Cai'er! It's only been a long time since I saw it, and they all look like it! Let my brother and I have a good time today, and let you taste what it's like to be a woman! ”

Seeing the grief-stricken Wang Jiacai, Cao Mu did not have the slightest sense of guilt, but stared at the ups and downs in a daze, full of foul language. "You brute to death!"

Wang Jiacai is already going crazy, she usually doesn't even dare to look at the chicken, she raised the wooden stick with both hands and smashed it towards Cao Mu's head, and now the only thought is to beat this beast to death and avenge her father! However, where is a weak woman Cao Mu's opponent! Cao Mu easily dodged Wang Jiacai's full blow, grabbed the wooden stick with a quick grab, and then said loudly to the puppet army beside him: "Brothers, I'll play with Sister Cai'er first, and you immediately disperse and go door to door to gather everyone in the ancestral hall in the village!" ”

"Okay, Brother Cao, you have fun! Brothers, too, went to have fun! "Hey, hey! Let's go, don't waste today's great opportunity to make a fortune! "The puppet army around Cao Mu didn't know what he wanted to do, so they turned around and left, and began to burn and loot everywhere." Hehe, I'm going to get enough of you today! Little girl, no one will come to save you even if you shout at your throat today! Thinking of what was about to happen, Cao Mu was extremely hot, and he hugged Wang Jiacai and dragged him into the house!" Brute, let go of me! You can't die a good death! ”

Wang Jiacai struggled hard, but the disparity in strength could not be broken at all. "Haha, it's also romantic to die under the peony flower! Even if the sky falls, Lao Tzu will do you today! The more Wang Jiacai resisted and cursed, the more excited Cao Mu felt, and he couldn't wait to immediately strip off and start working hard.

"Yo Xi, flower girl, don't run!" "Shw! I love this flower girl! "Old thing, hurry up and take out all the valuable things at home!" Otherwise, it will kill you! ”

At first, the leader of the devil squad, Ishino Aodai, wanted to gather people together first, and then kill some of them, and take the rest as hostages, but as soon as they entered the village, the undisciplined Japanese army and the puppet army soon turned into beasts that burned and killed lewdness. "A bunch of brutes, I'm fighting with you!" "Folks, run! The little devil killed people and set fire! ”

"Woo woo, these brutes are intent on slaughtering the village today!" "Mom, I'm afraid!" "Ah, the boy daddy! Little devil, I'll fight with you! "The people of Xiaowangzhuang originally thought that these Japanese puppet soldiers were just here to grab food or something, but they never dreamed that these brutes were thinking about killing today!

Seeing these beasts burning and killing and plundering everywhere in the village, all the villagers could only be forced to fight to the death, using tools such as flat poles, kitchen knives, and sickles to fight with devils and puppet soldiers.

However, how could they, ordinary people who have not received military training, be the opponents of these brutes, and they have been unilateral killings from the beginning! Soon, the entire Xiaowangzhuang became a miserable and inhumane hell on earth!
