"The rich man from the east end of the village has returned and was appointed as the village chief by the county government. He also brought a dozen village protection teams, each with one gun!"

"The rich man from Gong will definitely take back the land allocated to us by the Eighth Route Army..."

When everyone in the village received this news, the two guards brought back by the rich man Gong began to act in the village!

"In the morning, everyone gathered at the entrance of the village and welcomed the village chief Gong to come back. The village chief Gong also brought back the government's new tax policy. Everyone must be present, otherwise the grain tax will increase by 10% this year!"

As soon as this news spread, everyone was more sure of the rumors they heard in the morning!

"What should I do if the head of the family do? My family relies on the several acres of land that the Eighth Route Army has allocated us."

"Last year, the Eighth Route Army was dragged down and all public grain was exempted. Then, from time to time, we did things for the Eighth Route Army. Not only could we manage food but also exchange some food for it. Finally, we could save some grain at home. Now that the rich man of the palace has returned, those acres of land will definitely be taken back. Should we be tenants for them again and live a hard life without the last meal!"

The middle-aged man frowned and did not expect any solution to solve the problem. He is a good player in farming, but he obviously has no choice but to solve such a big thing in front of him!

The same conversation was born in the homes of most ordinary people in the village. Although they were reluctant, the reputation of the rich man in the palace was deeply rooted in their hearts and they couldn't help but go!

The result was as they imagined, with more than a dozen gunmen supporting him, and the rich man of Gong was as arrogant as ever, and the first thing he did was to announce the reclaim of all the land belonging to the Gong family in the village.

As for the second thing, it is to increase grain taxes and grain rents!

In the words of the rich man from Gong, he had been fleeing with the Jinsui Army for several years without asking everyone about the rent and tax on collecting a grain. Now that the Jinsui Army has returned, he will definitely make up for the lost grain!

The village had more than 500 people, and they were immediately overwhelmed!

Taking back all the land that originally belonged to the Gong family directly means that more than 60% of the people in the village will lose all their land and then become tenants of the Gong family again.

The remaining 30% of the people will also lose at least half of the land they have!

As for the last 10% of the people, although the land was not lost.

But the high proportion of grain tax that the Gong rich man just announced is definitely something they can't bear!

Even if they use the base fertilizer taught by the Eighth Route Army this year to further increase grain production, the remaining grain after paying the grain tax will only be enough to keep them alive!

Compared with Gongtou Village under the Eighth Route Army, these are completely different!

Under the governance of the Eighth Route Army, the people with increasingly strong sense of democracy shouted against each other on the spot.

However, there were more than a dozen gunmen supporting Gong Qianzhu, and all opposition was useless.

In order to play a role in killing the chicken and making a warning to the monkey, a young man who had worked as a guerrilla team was directly seriously injured by two gunmen pointing at them with rifles!

"Tell you, don't expect the Eighth Route Army to come back to support you~ Now the southwest of Shanxi is the world of the Jinsui Army, and the Eighth Route Army can't even control itself, let alone you untouchables!"

"Grow grain obediently and pay grain taxes, otherwise the government will definitely punish it severely!"

Wang Ping received the news as soon as possible at the command center of the New First Regiment outside Linfen City.

The deputy commander-in-chief could see the purpose of the Jinsui Army at a glance: "Wang Ping, Yan Laoxi is worthy of being Yan Laoxi. By controlling the people and levying a high proportion of grain taxes, the people have no excess food to support us, and cut off the foundation of our Eighth Route Army!"

"Our Eighth Route Army is fish, and the common people are water. Once the fish leave the water, they will not be able to survive. This time, Yan Laoxi is smart and knows to prescribe the right medicine!"

"Wang Ping, Yan Laoxi has made a move now. How do you plan to fight back!"

"This is the base area seized by our Eighth Route Army from the Japanese. There must be only one government, and the base area is anti-Japanese government!"

"As for the officials sent by Yan Laoxi, forcing them to leave themselves or causing them to lose credibility, if the people do not believe in them or listen to them, their existence will be useless. It will not only not affect the operation of the anti-Japanese government in the base area, but also make the people more convinced of our anti-Japanese democratic government!"

"Yan Laoxi did prescribe the right medicine this time, but he used a trick to count the meat cards!"

"Under the leadership of the Anti-Japanese and Democratic Government, the people in the base area have just had two good days, and now they have asked them to go back to live the hard days when they have no next meal after eating this meal. Isn't this obviously pushing the people to our Eighth Route Army?"

"How to do it in detail!" the deputy commander-in-chief asked in agreement.

"The officials who besieged Yan Laoxi's sect!" Wang Ping answered directly.

"As for the gunmen and guards who came down with those officials, they neither belonged to the Jinsui Army nor were formal troops. Even if they were killed, they would not be able to destroy the united front!"

"However, for the sake of all Chinese, we will not kill them, we will only take over their weapons!"

"Inappropriate!" The boss, who rarely expresses his opinions here, rarely objected.

"Yan Laoxi is not a fool. It is very simple to solve this problem. As long as you give these people some militia organization, your Wang Ping sends troops to attack them, it is equivalent to attacking the Jinsui Army. You are still labeled as a destruction of the united front and will be latched over to you Wang Ping!"

"Please rest assured, I have thought of this problem and I guarantee that there will be no problem!"

"Some time ago, we could form a garrison regiment to ask the Jinsui Army for severance payments. Today we can also form a village protection team to protect the village!"

"All operations are completed by the militia guerrillas we formed in each village!"

"But the guerrillas have to change their name, called the village protection team, which will be built by the village to protect the village and protect the land!"

"As for those officials, didn't Yan Laoxi want to cut off the foundation of our Eighth Route Army by controlling the people? If you want to control the people, you must buy the hearts of the people!"

"Last year, the base area was drought and the Japanese invaded the base area, the people must have no surplus food at home."

"There is still half a year to reach the autumn harvest. As the local emperor of Shanxi Province and the parents of the common people, Yan Laoxi should provide relief to the victims and give food to the common people in terms of emotion and reason!"

"Let the guerrillas in each village organize the people to surround the officials, when will the government give them food, and when will the people recognize them!"

"If you don't agree, they can't go anywhere!"

"Our troops cannot be idle either. Keep a close eye on the base of the Jinsui Army. If the Jinsui Army intends to use force against the people, don't blame our Eighth Route Army for being rude!"

"At that time, besides using knives and guns, there are also no killing people. Any other means can be used. I will defeat the Jinsui army that is using force against the people!"
