Chapter 4 What is red

The next day.

The sky shimmered.

For farmers, this is still just an ordinary day. Early in the morning, farmers who go to work in the fields open the door and walk in the village. The younger generation of farmers has already shouldered the heavy responsibilities of their families. Even though

Farmers in the fields have not had a good harvest today. Even though they have imposed excessive taxes this year and the landlords have exploited them and doubled the land tax, their lives will continue. Farmers rely on the land and rely on the land to survive.

Among the younger generation of farmers, some have higher status, which can be regarded as a rural form under the influence of the clan system. A family is a big family, and the eldest son has a high status.

Most of the people who work in the fields in the village work in a clan-like manner. Under the leadership and coordination of the elders, they help each other work in the fields. Therefore, in the previous villages, you can often see young and middle-aged people working in the fields in groups.

Women stay at home to cook and take the food to the fields near noon.

It's a pity that the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes in the past two years have been so severe that the farmers in the village have no surplus grain. In order to make a living, they turned over the soil over and over again, just to find the wheat grains that fell in the fields, and even organized people to

Go dig wild vegetables in the mountains and look for anything you can eat.

However, today, when people working in the fields walked into the village, they saw from a distance that several people were tied to several big trees planted on the side of the village road. There were a row of pale and stiff bodies lying on the ground.

When they took a closer look, they were startled.

The people tied to the trees turned out to be the landowners and housekeepers of the village. The wives and concubines were tied with their hands behind their backs and kneeling on the ground. The dozen or so corpses lying in the open space in the middle of the road turned out to be ruffians who usually ran rampant in the village and committed all kinds of evil.

They also saw bags of bulging sacks piled aside on a cart. A pot was set up next to the cart. Something was boiling in the pot, and the fire was burning brightly underneath.

There is a table under the big tree. There is a young man sitting in front of the table. He has washed his face, put on clean clothes, and styled his hair. There is a bundle of guns on the ground beside him. Behind him

I also carried one on my back, and the butt of the gun had been dragged to the ground.

At this time, he was lying on the table and writing something seriously.

"Then, isn't that Xia Yuan?! He, why did he kill so many people!"

"He tied up the landowner!"

Seeing such a scene early in the morning, the farmers working in the fields were shocked. Suddenly the whole village exploded. Even the elderly people who had not yet gotten up got up and hurriedly hurriedly helped by their family members.

Arrive at the empty space in the middle of the village.

In just over twenty minutes, all the men, women, and children in the village got up and gathered in the empty field. They looked at the landowner tied to the tree and the body lying on the ground. They were all shocked, and the old ones were shocked.

He rubbed his cloudy eyes and looked at the landlord hanging on the tree in disbelief. He stretched out his fingers tremblingly and murmured for a long time without saying anything.

The arrogant landowner was actually hung on a tree, and his fangs were now turned into corpses lying stiffly on the ground, with their faces looking very pale.

The young man pointed at Xia Yuan who was sitting at the table and said, "It's Xia San's son, it's him, but how is this possible? Wasn't he a lunatic before?"

Xia Yuan's image was much different from the previous one. When he first came back, he was a complete lunatic, with disheveled hair, ragged clothes, hungry, skinny and skinny. However, he actually tripped up the landlord and killed all the people all day long.

There are gangsters who do all kinds of evil in the village.

Unbelievable, really unbelievable.

Li Qingming, the eldest son of the Li family, headed by the Li family, stared. He thought of that night when Xia Yuan came to him and said that he wanted to do something big. He said that he would trip up the landlords and take away the food and money from the landlords' houses.

, he thought this guy was daydreaming at that time, but now Xia Yuan actually tripped up the landlord without saying a word, and the landlord was hung on a tree by him. He was a landlord servant who usually bullied men and women in the village and did all kinds of evil.

He also killed people and laid them out in a row on the ground.

In the empty field, the villagers pointed at the landlord and the housekeeper who were tied to the tree and talked about it. They didn't understand what happened. All the gangsters under the landlord were killed. The arrogant landlord Lao Cai and the housekeeper were also tied up.

On the tree, what happened last night? It turned out like this when I woke up early in the morning.

When they were shocked, they let out a heavy breath.

The landlords, housekeepers and their subordinates are tyrannical in the village. Almost every villager has been oppressed and exploited by them. No one does not hate the landlords and them, but they hate them but do not have the strength to resist. Now some people have killed the local gangsters and kidnapped them.

The removal of the landlord naturally gave the villagers a sigh of relief.

But what shocked them was that the person venting their anger turned out to be Xia Yuan!

"Crazy Xia Yuan actually tied up the landlord!"

"He also killed those people? Isn't he crazy!?"

"It's unbelievable. How did he do this? The landowners had so many guns, but none of us heard the gunfire last night. He didn't even fire a gun, and he just solved them?"

Mr. Li of the Li family is highly respected in the village. The Li family is a big family after all. One-third of the people in the village are surnamed Li, so they can be considered eloquent. Li Qingming whispered in Mr. Li's ear for a while, and in Mr. Li's eyes

With an incredible look on his face, he grabbed Li Qingming's hand and said, "I don't know what he went through outside. After he came back, he seemed crazy. Unexpectedly, it was all disguised. Is this what he wanted for this day?"

"

Mr. Li said again: "I will ask on your behalf."

Li Qingming grabbed his grandfather's hand: "Grandpa."

Li Qingming's father said: "Don't worry, if Xia Yuan wants to harm the big guys, he won't wait until now, let alone the big landowners."

In the crowd, the old farmer who was beaten in the field had a hunched figure. He looked at Xia Yuan sitting at the table with an unbelievable look on his face, "He..."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The old farmer's son said: "Dad, that is Xia San's son."

"I know, I know." The old farmer murmured, thinking of what he said to himself that day in the field.

'That is the people's team. They can bring happiness to the people, drive away the landlords, and give the people their own land. They are a group of people with ideals. They will build a new China and let everyone live a happy life.

.'

The old farmer murmured: "The Red Army... the Red Army..."

The old farmer's son asked again: "Dad, what are you talking about, the Red Army?"

The old farmer looked at the landlord tied to the tree and then at the body on the ground and said, "Could it be that the Red Army is coming? It must be, it must be. Xia San's son is not lying. The Red Army will drive away the landlord."

Yes, look, the landowner is not tied to a tree now."

His voice attracted the attention of the surrounding villagers, who discussed in low voices.

"Red Army, what is the Red Army?"

"I heard from people outside that the Red Army seems to be red bandits, burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil. Could they be coming?"

"Then why did he attack the landlord? He also tied up the landlord."

"He should not be a Red Army soldier."

With the support of his eldest son and grandson Li Qingming, Mr. Li came to the table. When Xia Yuan saw the person coming, he stopped writing. The content in the book was the amount of grain distributed to each household.

"Mr. Li, come and sit down. I happen to have something to discuss with you, and I also heard what everyone was talking about just now. It seems that everyone has some misunderstandings about the Red Army. So by the way, let me tell you what the Red Army is.

"

Xia Yuan stood up with a smile on his face. Mr. Li was a highly respected old man in the village. In addition to the landlord, he had a certain say in the village. He had found Li Qingming because of Mr. Li's reputation. He wanted to do it in the future.

To build a team in this area, Mr. Li's help is bound to be indispensable.

"Red Army, are you alone?" Mr. Li asked, sitting on a stool next to the table and tapping his cane on the ground.

"No, the foundation of the Red Army is in Nanhu. I am here specifically to promote the red spirit and let everyone understand what the Red Army is!"

Xia Yuan believes that after the masses understand the nature of the Red Army, they will definitely change their view of the Red Army and even join the Red Army. The emergence of the Red Army is destined to be what the people want. The Red Army can bring a happy life and hope to the people.

Team, such a team should be promoted in the village and not be misunderstood by them.

In order to encircle and suppress the Red Army, the Chiang Group deliberately promoted that the Red Army was bandits, entering villages, burning, killing, and looting, and committing all kinds of evil. As a result, the people at that time were very dissatisfied with the Red Army. Especially in places where the Red Army passed by, the doors and windows of every household were closed for fear of causing trouble.

.

This made many Red Army soldiers very discouraged at that time. They all came from the masses and farmers, but they did not expect that they would look at themselves in such a different light. Only those who were truly helped by the Red Army would unconditionally believe in the Red Army and even put their trust in the Red Army.

Their children were sent to the Red Army.

And all this is inseparable from the ideological foundation that the Red Army has given to the masses and the benefits that the Red Army has brought to the masses after its arrival are beyond the reach of the White Army.

As a highly respected old man in the village, Mr. Li had naturally heard of the Red Army, but it was the Red Army that had been described by the White Army. It was painted like bandits who did all kinds of evil. Xia Yuan claimed to be a Red Army, but he did not behave like the White Army.

It depicts the Red Army doing all kinds of evil, even arresting the landlord, killing the landlord's gangsters, and tying up the landlord.

Mr. Li sat on the stool, leaning his crutches against the table, smoothing the wrinkles on his body, looking like he was sitting upright. He naturally behaved better when dealing with these soldiers. Many soldiers have casual personalities, especially those who are soldiers.

Red Army, even though Xia Yuan grew up in Nianping Village, no one knows what he went through during this period. He killed more than a dozen local gangsters and still had a little Ou Rang on his face.

Those corpses gave them chills in their hearts.

After Mr. Li sat down, the villagers who were talking about each other fell silent and gradually became quiet.

Xia Yuan said with a smile on his face: "Everyone's initial impression of the Red Army was from the White Army. What are they? The Red Army is ruffians, the Red Army is bandits, and the Red Army does all kinds of evil, bullying men and women, and stealing food.

Stealing gold, silver and jewelry.”

He didn't say a word, but the villagers nodded in agreement. This really came from the White Army. The White Army spread the evil deeds of the Red Army everywhere, burning, killing, looting, bullying men and dominating women, and committed all kinds of evil. That's right.

The bandits on the mountain come down the mountain.

Xia Yuan said: "However, the reality is not as the Bai Army said. The real Red Army does not take a stitch from the masses. The military discipline is very strict and does not move a drop. Food is purchased fairly, the price is fully paid, solidarity and mutual assistance are achieved, and everyone is equal.

, there are no excessive taxes, and they will even drive away the landlords and local gangsters, and help everyone regain the land and food that belongs to everyone. The people are the masters of their own country. It is no longer the landlords who oppress the people, but the people themselves managing the people."

The villagers had doubtful looks on their faces, and Mr. Li asked excitedly: "Is there really such an army?"

Xia Yuan nodded and said: "Do you know why the White Army said that the Red Army is bandits? This is because the White Army relies on the landlords to collect food, to collect money, and to capture young men. However, the Red Army specializes in attacking landlords.

Isn't attacking the landlords equivalent to attacking the roots of the White Army? Therefore, in order to discredit the Red Army, the White Army spread the word everywhere that the Red Army is bandits. As long as the Red Army is discredited, it will be beneficial to them."

His voice suddenly rose: "However, justice lies in the hearts of the people. Everyone will judge for themselves whether it is good or bad. Therefore, I am here, and I am here with the policies of the Red Army. The landlords and tyrants in Nianping Village bully everyone and do many evil things on weekdays.

, this time we are here to fairly try his crimes and seek justice for our fathers and fellow villagers."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Xia Yuan walked to the big tree, and amidst the discussion of the villagers, he untied the landlord's rope and pulled him to kneel on the ground.

"Little brother, little brother, please forgive me, I didn't do anything, really, I really didn't do anything."

When pulling the housekeeper, the housekeeper kept pleading, and Xia Yuan snorted coldly: "You know in your mind whether you are doing something good or not. My own words don't count, only what the masses say."

Xia Yuan asked the two of them to kneel down in front of everyone, walked to Mr. Li, and said: "Mr. Li, come and preside over the trial meeting. We must seek truth from facts and not make up random things. What the landlord did will be what everyone said.

, I will make the decision for everyone."

Mr. Li was stunned for a moment, "Can you really say that?"

"Yes, everyone can speak freely. The Red Army is our solid support, and I will make the decision for everyone. The Red Army is the unwavering team that stands by the farmers." Xia Yuan stood in front of the landlord, like a wall,

He said: "Let me go first. Landlords impose excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes, which makes people's livelihood difficult. Many people's homes have been emptied. Everyone should know about my home!"

His eyes became sharp: "The land tax has tripled. After my father emptied his family's assets, there was still insufficient money. The landowner's family led local gangsters to break into my house in the middle of the night and beat my father to death. My mother was frightened.

The mad queen disappeared without a trace, and I was sold to the wealthy gentry in the town to work as a cow or a horse. Life was worse than death. I was only given one meal a day. If I hadn't escaped with the help of kind people, I might have died inside."

Xia Yuan turned to look at the trembling landlord and housekeeper, and said sharply: "This alone is a heinous crime. Ten lives are not enough to compensate them!"
