After everything is finalized.
That afternoon, Kong Jie found Xie Baoqing, the former head of Heiyun Village, who was working in the Xicun Coal Mine.
How to fulfill the agreement with Xu Qingnian, and use the bandits' kidnapping and tearing up tickets to get rid of Xu Qingnian's identity, I'm afraid I have to use Xie Baoqing to do it.
When I met Xie Baoqing, the head of Heiyun Village, who used to be considered majestic in the past, was now covered in dust. Not only were other bandits working in the mines, but Xie Baoqing also had to participate.
Kong Jie's original words were, "This is a labor reform for you bandits. Regardless of whether you have harmed anyone after going up to the mountains to become bandits over the years, since you have made a mistake, you should be punished."p>
"From now on, when you work in this coal mine, each of you will be given a record of your performance in the labor reform based on the results of your work."
"How you perform every day, how much coal you mine, and how much work you do, I will find special personnel to record it in a book for each of you."
"I will set a number for you, such as one thousand kilograms of coal. Before the mined coal reaches one thousand kilograms, each of you will receive a daily reward based on your labor. What is the reward? The reward is food."
"I will set everyone's food standards into three levels. The first level is the worst food, which may not necessarily make you full. The second level will at least make you full. The third level will more than make you full.
, and even add some meat to make it taste meaty."
"As for which level of food you can eat, it depends on your enthusiasm for work."
"When you individually mine more than a thousand kilograms of coal, I will not only provide you with the best food, but also pay monthly wages to each of you. Of course, this wages will not be given to you immediately;
Record it in the account. When you complete the labor reform one day, I will pay all these wages to you. At that time, will you choose to stay in the independent regiment and serve as the Eighth Route Army, or return to the village and live with this money?
Choose for yourself.”
Bandits should not be spared lightly.
But after all, these guys in front of him are not unforgivably sinful. If Kong Jie wants them to work, he must at least give them some sweetness and some hope.
The standard Kong Jie set for Xie Baoqing and his group of bandits was to tell the bandits.
Through labor reform, they can not only wash away their past sins, but also receive certain rewards, and finally exchange for their freedom through labor.
Now it seems that Kong Jie’s series of operations have obvious effects.
The bandits in the mine are very motivated.
This feeling of getting rewards and future hope through one's actual labor every day is indeed a different experience for bandits who are used to killing people and robbing goods.
In the past, I was licking blood from the tip of a knife, and I was still covered in infamy.
Now all you have to do is work conscientiously and you will have food to eat. If you do well, you will get money and gain freedom.
This feeling makes the bandits feel extremely at ease.
"Captain Kong, why are you here?"
Seeing Kong Jie coming, Xie Baoqing ran over quickly, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and looked like a foreman at work. As he ran, he pointed at the minions around him and shouted:
"Brothers, please show some energy. Commander Kong is here to see us. Please work hard."
Kong Jie said: "Okay, Xie Baoqing, I think you are quite motivated."
Xie Baoqing felt ashamed and said: "Captain Kong, you gave our brothers a chance to start a new life. If I, Xie Baoqing, can't seize it, I will let down your wholeheartedness.
To be honest, many brothers, including me, found this kind of life very hard and tiring at the beginning. Every time I think about it, how can this compare to the happiness I had in the bandit village?
Slowly I got used to it, and I got used to it. On the contrary, I felt that my life was pretty good. Many of my brothers were from poor backgrounds. If I could have found such a job back then, I would have been able to earn money to support myself with my own hands every day.
Go up the mountain and become a bandit.
Now that everyone is working, they only feel at ease in their hearts, and they don’t feel bitter or tired. Every day, they look forward to what kind of food the cooking class will cook for us in different ways!
In addition, there are comrades there who record how much coal the brothers mine every day.
Because of this, the brothers are still comparing themselves with each other! They all want to reach the standards set by you, Commander Kong, as soon as possible. Then not only can they eat, but they can also earn a salary. Where can I find such a good thing? "<
/p>
This is human nature. With increasing hope, there is also the expectation to run towards hope, and naturally you will be full of motivation.
Kong Jie said: "I still say the same thing, Xie Baoqing, although you people are bandits, you have never done any unscrupulous bad things in the past years in the mountains, so I hope that through this kind of work, you can hone your character, at least
When I set you free, you won’t have no skills and go back to the mountains to become bandits for me.”
"In the future, if you stay in our independent regiment, you will have a lot of things to do, such as mining, farming, digging wells, harvesting crops, repairing houses... When will we train each of you to be a generalist, you will almost be able to be released.
You left."
"Yes!" Xie Baoqing responded, adding with a smile: "Captain Kong, there are many brothers who want to stay in the Independent Regiment. Maybe when Commander Kong lets us go free, we all want to stay and work on the Eighth Route Army."
It’s here!”
Kong Jie said: "Then you have to work harder. Not everyone wants us in our independent group."
"Yes, Commander Kong, we will definitely work hard."
Kong Jie nodded and said: "Let's get down to business. I came to see you because I need your help."
"Please give me the instructions, Commander Kong!" Xie Baoqing said.
"You have been a bandit leader in Heiyun Village for so many years. You should know some of the bandit forces in the surrounding areas, right?"
Xie Baoqing replied: "I basically know all the larger bandit forces. To be honest, there is no larger bandit force in the surrounding area than our Heiyun Village!"
"Are you quite proud?"
"Don't dare!" Xie Baoqing said hurriedly.
Kong Jie said: "What I want are bandits from the mountainous areas near Tan County. I have inquired about the news in the past few days. I heard that there is a group of bandits on Dalong Mountain in the south of Tan County. The banner they are flying is called Xiaoliang Mountain. Do you know it?"
?"
Xie Baoqing said: "I know, the big boss of Xiaoliangshan is called Liu Baisheng, nicknamed Timely Rain. There are quite a lot of people in Xiaoliangshan. I went to Xiaoliangshan some time ago, and their number has grown to seven or eight at that time.
Ten people, but Liu Baisheng particularly liked Water Margin, so he announced to the outside world that they had 108 heroes in Xiaoliangshan."
Kong Jie was speechless.
This bandit is still playing in the Water Margin.
"How is your relationship with Liu Baisheng?" Kong Jie asked.
Xie Baoqing said: "Liu Baisheng is also a very heroic man. I have interacted with him several times and we call each other brother."
Kong Jie said: "Then things will be easier to handle. Listen, you went to Dalong Mountain and saw Liu Baisheng, and then you did this..."
…………
The next day, Xie Baoqing led a group of people and indeed appeared on Dalong Mountain.
Of course, the dozen or so people behind Xie Baoqing are not bandits from Heiyun Village, but a company of guards disguised as bandits.
The monk is also among them.
Although Xie Baoqing has changed a lot during the labor reform these days, he still has to be wary of others, so this time Kong Jie sent a monk and his entourage to follow Xie Baoqing secretly to prevent Xie Baoqing from taking the opportunity to escape, and also acted as a supervisor.
Of course, Xie Baoqing had already seen Kong Jie's power in Heiyun Village, so he didn't dare to think too much.
After arriving at Dalong Mountain, Xie Baoqing followed the route in his memory and rushed to the bandit village in Xiaoliang Mountain.
On the way, this bandit opened the monk's eyes, and he actually had some secret codes for the connection.
When they reached a pass on the road, Xie Baoqing screamed several times toward both sides of the mountain.
Then, two skinny monkey-like figures jumped down from the big pine trees on both sides of the road. One of them was shorter, probably only over 1.5 meters tall.
Seeing that it was Xie Baoqing, this person was surprised and said, "Huh? It's Mr. Xie, Mr. Xie, how come you came to our Dalong Mountain?"
Xie Baoqing said: "I'm here to see your boss."
"Master Xie is here, so of course I don't have to say anything. Monkey, hurry up and inform your elder brother and say that Master Xie is here."
"Yes!" The other one responded, turned around and ran towards the mountain.
When the short bandit left behind led Xie Baoqing and his party towards Xiaoliang Mountain, the monk couldn't help but muttered: "This guy's head is really comparable to that of a kid. I even suspected that a kid had sneaked in."
The bandits are coming."
Xie Baoqing explained in a low voice to the monk beside him: "This person's name is Wang Laosan. Because he happens to have the same surname as Wang Ying, the short-legged tiger in Water Margin, and he is also relatively short, so he gave himself the nickname.
Called Dwarf Tiger."
The monk was dumbfounded, this nickname is really vivid.
The story of Water Margin was told to the soldiers in the regiment when Political Commissar Zhao was there. Monk Wang Ying, the short-legged tiger, had also heard of it.
Although his ranking is not high, he is still somewhat famous among the heroes of the Water Margin.
Thinking of this, the monk couldn't help but laugh in his heart, and at the same time he was a little curious. There was a short-legged tiger. I heard that the boss of Xiaoliang Mountain was also called Shiyu.
Then do the other leopard heads, green-faced beasts, Zhiduoxing, etc. also have corresponding bandits?
Thinking about these problems, under the leadership of Dwarf Tiger Wang Laosan, the monks and his party quickly arrived at the bandit village in Xiaoliang Mountain.
This bandit's village is built deep in the mountains. There are twists and turns along the way. It would be really difficult to find it without someone to guide you.
No wonder this group of bandits has been able to occupy the territory of the Japanese and puppet troops on this mountain for so many years without being surrounded and suppressed.
Finally, we entered the village. At the door, a man came over from a distance. The monk took a closer look. This black-faced man was a bit fat. He was really conspicuous in these bandit dens where most of them were on the thin side.
