Chapter 1191 The Bitter Winter Day (5)

In the Chengdu Plain in winter, the weather is not cold, but there are thick clouds floating around, giving everything a cold and hard color. So the clouds are gray, and so are the trees in the field.

More than a hundred miles west of Chengdu, Shannanba is a famous large village with more than 2,800 residents and more than 500 households in total.

Surrounded by mountains and rivers, the official road from east to west has been built here long ago. This year, the Chinese army widened the official road again and transported bricks, tiles and timber. The land was leveled on one side of the official road and began Build a school. In late October, as the rumors of land equalization intensified, a working group of the Chinese Army moved in in force. The atmosphere around the village immediately became tense.

As one of the first 100 villages to be affected by the Earth Equalization Operation, there were eight working groups with a total of 102 people coming to Shannanba. The number of people in each group ranged from 12 to 13, plus the accompanying guards. There are a total of one hundred and thirty-six soldiers. On the second day after arriving at Shannanba, the entire work started step by step.

After occupying the Chengdu Plain, the first thing the Chinese Army did was to conduct a rough survey of the land and household registrations in the entire jurisdiction. After defeating the Jurchen West Route Army, this work was carried out in a more detailed manner. Round, this is the preliminary preparation for land reform.

Since June of this year, with the promotion of the idea of ​​equality, interviews with various large landowners and large clans in Shu on land policies have begun one after another. In mid-to-late August, after the general meeting passed a resolution on land reform, the reform Regarding the detailed issues, a large number of gentry and landlords went to Chengdu or Zhangcun to negotiate with the Chinese army.

The relatively intense negotiation period lasted for about two months, but no substantive results emerged.

During this period, after the conference passed the resolution, it began to allocate manpower in various departments in an orderly manner, establish core demands, formulate specific plans, and break down the implementation steps. Then it organized legal, publicity, civil affairs, land, finance and other directions. Members of the department entered the practical simulation stage and conducted a certain degree of confrontation drills based on the progress of the negotiations.

With Ning Yi directly taking overall responsibility, there are no external disturbances that can slow down the progress of these preparations.

On October 25th, a total of 923 working groups, together with more than 12,000 people composed of some military attachés, completed the final assembly and took the oath, and were simultaneously deployed to a hundred nodes throughout the southwest.

Land reform began.



In Shannanba, Ning Xi followed the experienced shopkeeper Zhuji and the veterans of the Chinese Army who were stationed in Shannanba in the past, and conducted two days of on-site visits and identification work.

He is now one of the three propagandists of Working Group No. 17 among one hundred working groups, which is the focus of the entire land reform work. According to the formal arrangement of the Huaxia Army, if you want to obtain the right to equal land distribution, The first thing local residents have to do is seven formal lectures, three militia drills and a simple assessment. It is these lectures and the final assessment that the propagandists need to be responsible for.

From the current political system of the Huaxia Army, tens of thousands of people are mobilized at a time into this inevitably long-term operation. At this time, each group tries to implement the strategy of bringing in the old and bringing in the new. He serves as the leader of the 17th Working Group , and the person responsible for the overall captaincy of Shannanba is Kang Zhuming, who used to be one of the leaders of Zhuji.

This is a senior shopkeeper who has followed the Jurchens in Zhuji since before they first went south. He has accompanied them through strong walls and clearing fields, and participated in the Battle of Xia Village. He is one of the most outstanding executives in the Chinese army. He is responsible for the responsibilities of captain and team leader.

At the same time, he is also one of the three propagandists in the 17th Working Group, responsible for imparting necessary propaganda skills to Ning Xi, who has begun to contact this kind of specific mass work.

The nearly 3,000 residents of Shannanba have been divided into eight parts according to their residences. More than 200 adults among them are responsible for the 17th group. Therefore, in the first two days, Kang Zhuming took Ning Xi and others to find their place in the village.

and the number of people, and went to the door to understand the basic situation. In addition to the three preachers who led the class and the veterans stationed in the village, there was also a young man who was responsible for logistics and also came to study. This young man was thin, but

His eyes are lively, his brows are strong, and his right hand only has four fingers. He is the posthumous son of Qin Shaohe who was brought back to the southwest after living in the north for twelve years. In the past, he was nicknamed Shitou, but now he has taken the nickname Qin Weijun.

.

"...From the stream in the north to the road in the south, this area is easy to remember... Try to remember clearly how many people there are in each household. The initial record is not troublesome, but I am afraid that something will happen in the middle... There are more than two hundred people, and then

Divide into six classes and give six rounds of lectures every day. If a few people refuse to come every day, it will be very troublesome later on, and there may even be some imposters and troublemakers. When we first come here, we can't tell them apart, and we will be embarrassed, even though it sounds like trouble.

We won't allocate land to them, but in the first round of our work, we should try to be as beautiful as possible, there is no need to make a fuss... I used to memorize people's appearance, and I have some experience..."

While walking forward, Kang Zhuming talked about these key points with Ning Xi and Qin Weijun. Ning Xi listened carefully and took notes in his notebook. Qin Weijun, who was carrying a baggage, stood aside to watch.

At the end of October, it was already the off-season in the countryside. Among the gray and black houses, children with runny noses were shouting and running on the roads. "Equal land rights", "equality" and "civil rights" had been painted on some walls.

"" and other slogans, the adults under the eaves and in the houses looked at the members of the Chinese Army walking in the village with vigilance, confusion, or eagerness to act.

In the darkness, glances were exchanged and whispers were made.

Kang Zhuming and others, who were dressed in shabby but neat clothes, were led by the veterans stationed in the village and went to the courtyards one by one. After entering, Kang Zhuming first saluted and then said hello.

"It's Liu Sanwu and Uncle Liu's house. Hello, uncle. I'm Kang Zhuming, the preacher from the Chinese Army..."

After the second announcer reported his name, Ning Xi also saluted and said loudly: "Uncle, my name is Goudan!"

Qin Weijun said: "My name is Mao Dan."

Both of them had endearing names.

"...We are here to handle the matter of the land allocation. I don't know if I am clear about this matter... By the way, I took the liberty to drop by and give you some small gifts. Everyone has them. Uncle, don't be polite..."

While talking, Qin Weijun presented a small bag of candies with an equality propaganda picture. When the other party accepted it sheepishly, he began to talk about the lectures that would be given in two days, and by the way, he confirmed the actual number of people and names of the family.

.

In the cold and gloomy village, the propaganda members of the eight groups were visiting the residents in the village, saying hello, handing out promotional candies, and introducing the upcoming courses. Seeing that the members of the Huaxia Army had a mild attitude, many residents were communicating with each other for a while.

Afterwards, they also carefully asked questions such as whether there was really a place to be awarded and whether the test was difficult. Kang Zhuming and others patiently explained it.

The country said it wanted to allocate land to people and that everyone should be equal. This is something that has never happened or been realized in thousands of years. It started peacefully like this. People who heard about it may have longing, but

It is also full of uneasiness and doubt.

Some residents also showed great resistance to this matter. The whispers and whispers in the winter were occasionally mixed with the curses of the elderly in the village.

On this day, Kang Zhuming took Ning Xi to visit more than fifty households in the village. They separated in the evening. He took a few bites of food in the canteen and then went to another front in the village. This was caused by

The site where members of the land, finance, and legal department communicated with the clan elders and big landowners in the village about land redemption was located in the Liu family ancestral hall in the village. When he arrived, oil lamps were already lit in the ancestral hall, and the atmosphere was depressing and depressing.

Dull.

The team members who came here had been preaching and communicating with the landlords and elders in the village for a whole day, and Che Zulun had already talked about it back and forth. But with the arrival of Kang Zhuming, the atmosphere in the ancestral hall still erupted into a wave of enthusiasm.

At the climax, all the topics that had been raised during the day were once again discussed - but this was also expected in the previous deduction - Kang Zhuming once again responded to various topics, from the general trend of the world to the Chinese army's

The thoughts then go to the arrangement of everyone's interests, and then, naturally, there is another round of topics that have already been discussed.

"...The property here has been handed down from my ancestors and has never been taken advantage of by any means... Your Chinese army is bullying others and acting in the opposite direction. Aren't you afraid of the rebellion of the people?"

When Kang Zhuming responded, he just said calmly: "We hope that there will be no mutiny."

Throughout the ages, the interests of the land and people's protection of the justice of private property have never been changed by calm verbal disputes. As the other party said, his ancestors have accumulated land from generation to generation, and there has never been any plundering in his eyes. You suddenly

To seize his land, saying that it is for the sake of equality for everyone and for a better future. No matter how nice the truth is, it may not be convincing to anyone even if it is said for three to five years.

But no matter what, after more than a month of early publicity by the Chinese Army, the first formal greeting under the site division process came.

According to the scheduled work plan, the entire land distribution work is carried out from these two directions. When the publicity work to ordinary people is completely completed and the assessment is completed, the redemption of all land will be completed.

That night, there were few sparks, and the lights in Liu's ancestral hall burned until midnight. People with land in their homes were angry, cursing, and discussing countermeasures. Everywhere in the village, tenant farmers without land were also in darkness.

In whispers, some people had low expectations, and some people thought that it might be an excuse for the Chinese army to seize the master's fields.

On the morning of the next day, Kang Zhuming had more business to preside over. Ning Xi, whose pseudonym was Goudan, and another preacher continued to allocate the villagers they visited yesterday, and assigned members who might be absent or seemed to be in trouble.

A new round of picking up and filling in the gaps was started. In the afternoon, with "Cat Egg" Qin Weijun as the audience, another round of rehearsals was held in the small wooden shed behind the school on the content to be preached next.

"Ahem, fellow villagers, uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters, I am the preacher of the Huaxia Army, Chen Goudan...hehehehe, in the next few days, I will discuss clearly with all the folks, China

What is the purpose of the army coming here to allocate fields this time..."

Mao Dan clapped vigorously...



In the early morning of October 29th, when the morning mist was still gathering and drifting over the winter plains, the gong for assembly was sounded in the new school in Shannanba. Soon after, the preachers went to the village to gather the people who had already had breakfast.

After about half an hour of excitement, the first group of people gathered on the school playground and entered the classrooms in batches where there were several rows of low stools.

Ning Xi arranged her clothes outside the classroom, took a deep breath, and walked inside——



According to the scheduled process, Hua Xiajun’s indoor courses total seven sessions.

From the achievements of the Chinese Army, the concept of the four peoples to the simple equality of all, and then extending from the equality of all to the fact that it is difficult for people without education and thinking to truly be equal to others, it promotes the hope of the Chinese Army to achieve equality in substance

Various methods were prepared, and then in some very popular ways, even similar to the legends of legends, the great power of the science of physics on the battlefield and the new appearance it had shown in Chengdu were stated, some common sense of the law was told, and finally, some teachings were given.

Everyone should clearly recognize the word "Huaxia", learn how to write their own name as much as possible and initially recognize ten Arabic numerals.

——And the final location assessment is actually a simple writing of one's own name and the word "Huaxia".

Throughout the course of the lecture, a session of "sharecroppers complaining" was interspersed according to the specific situation, and then combined with three outdoor exercises, a simple array and the concept of "orders and prohibitions" were instilled in all participating people. Those who completed this round,

Then began to allocate farmland.

The outline of the matter is not complicated. Throughout the thousands of miles in the southwest, according to different distances, the dates for the first batch of teachings recorded in history range from October 29th to 30th, November 1st to November 2nd.

The course is simple and step-by-step.

But resistance soon followed.

In Shannanba, on the afternoon of October 29th, five village elders began to cry and curse in the village. They either kowtowed in the direction of the ancestral graves to complain, or blocked the road to the school, ready to curse.

The villagers who went to attend the class were white-eyed wolves. To get retribution, a seventy-nine-year-old man in the village knocked his forehead bloody on the school playground.

In the past, the Liu clan was relatively powerful in Shannanba. The villagers who witnessed all this were at a loss for a while, and some decided not to attend the class. At this time, the first class in batches had not yet fully covered the entire village of Shannanba.

The situation seemed to be at a standstill, and people were waiting for the Chinese army's response.

For half a quarter of an hour, the soldiers of the Chinese Army blocked the road, and the old people on the playground used sticks to keep them away. In another half-quarter of an hour, the soldiers of the Chinese Army entered the village with a list of charges they had collected earlier, and searched for the people.

Five young men from the homes of the five elderly people were captured with the yoke. After the suspected charges were announced, the five people were imprisoned directly in a house on the side of the campus.

The five old men complained and cried out that day, but ignored them. They just held them aside with sticks and sent out military doctors to treat the old man whose forehead was bleeding. After the other party refused, they ignored them.

The next day, two more old men joined in to complain. On the same day, seven young men from the village were imprisoned. There was even a woman among them. The crime was that they had beaten to death a concubine in the house with a servant in the past. The crime was proven.

death penalty.

In the afternoon of that day, Liu Tang, the patriarch of the Liu clan, visited Kang Zhuming and tried to negotiate. When discussing how these twelve people could be exempted, Kang Zhuming took out part of the list he had collected.

"Those who have not yet been arrested can be investigated privately as appropriate. The Huaxia Army will make every effort to pursue the cases involving the twelve people that have been announced. After obtaining the evidence, they will enforce the law impartially. Those who should be released will be released and those who should be killed will be killed.

Will kill... This matter has been resolved, please don't say anything more, Mr. Liu."

Liu Tang was shocked for a moment, because the woman who had been arrested was his brother's wife and his sister-in-law.

On the same day, the cultural courses in the Shannanba classroom directly entered the stage of complaining.

This is a small ripple that arose in Shannan Dam as the whole thing unfolded, while various conflicts were unfolding in other places.

According to later records, ninety-three of the one hundred large villages experienced greater or lesser friction and resistance when faced with such sudden and even unimaginable big moves.

Among them, the one with the greatest commotion is Yujia Village, a village more than 300 miles west of Chengdu. The old patriarch of the Yu clan here died not long ago, and the new patriarch Yu Tianze has been practicing martial arts since he was a child.

With great prestige, after receiving the order from the Chinese Army to divide the fields, Yu Tianze led nearly two thousand people in the village to rise up. They surrounded the 98-person working group from the Chinese Army, trying to defeat the entire working group and then enter the mountain to become bandits.

The members of the Huaxia Army's working group stayed on the ground and used firearms, fire and thunder and other objects to prevent the more than a thousand people who were besieged from coming forward. Three hours later, the first batch of two hundred soldiers from the Huaxia Army's emergency response rushed through the mountain road.

He came and defeated Yu Tianze and others who besieged the working group. Yu Tianze moved towards the mountainous area.

Eight hours later, 3,000 Chinese troops gathered in Yujia Village, and then entered the mountains to clear out the troops. Yu Tianze and others tried to maneuver around the terrain, but the Chinese troops who had been in the southwest for many years had already become accustomed to the mountains here. After defeating the main force of Yu Tianze's closest confidants,

He was captured alive on the third day, and the campaign in the mountains continued until the seventh day before the troops were withdrawn.

All the leaders of the Yu family who incited the riot were put on public trial three days later, and then all were shot.

The events were summarized, published in newspapers, and spread widely.

This is an almost violent scene when listed alone.

For a long time, after taking control of Sichuan and Sichuan, the Huaxia Army has always maintained a good attitude towards people. Including passing the land reform order in August, within two months of negotiations, it has always been kind to all landlords and wealthy households.

With a polite attitude, even a hundred working groups stationed in major villages, visits and negotiations were still calm and polite.

This makes many people believe that the issue of land reform can still be negotiated and rejected.

No one expected that after such an ordinary round of games, the entire reaction of the Chinese army would be so fast, determined and even violent. Ning Yi's side was almost confrontational with the Jurchens - even beyond

His attitude toward this—he struck an unimaginably cruel blow toward the entire southwest.

The entire southwest world was shaking.

In just a few days, everyone fully understood the determination of the Chinese army in promoting land reform.
