Chapter seven hundred and sixty-six lack of money

"I heard that if you become a guerrilla, you can get a settlement allowance of five oceans."

"real or fake?"

"I saw with my own eyes that all the young men in the neighboring villages were wearing brand-new military uniforms and firing guns. They looked so majestic."

...

Under Yang Ling's propaganda offensive, the favorable treatment offered by Yang Ling's recruitment quickly spread in the fields, making villagers who did not want their children to become guerrillas hesitant and wavering.

Although it is dangerous to be a guerrilla fighting the Japanese, the five yuan is a real thing after all. For poor people like them who lack food and clothing, it is not a small temptation.

Moreover, if they become guerrillas and use their guns, even if the Japanese and puppet troops come over, they will not be defenseless and unable to fight back, and they will be able to better protect their loved ones and home.

"Mom, just let me go and join the guerrillas to fight against the Japanese and save the nation and fight against the Japanese. Otherwise, next time the Japanese food collection teams come, our food will be taken away and we will still starve."

Aunt Zhang's son Zhang Dachui saw that Li De from the neighboring village was all wearing new military uniforms, and he could no longer resist the idea of ​​joining the guerrillas, so he begged Aunt Zhang bitterly.

"Sledgehammer, your father left early, and you are the only one left in the old Zhang family. Bullets don't have long eyes on the battlefield. If you make a mistake, the old Zhang family's incense will be cut off. How do you want me to go?"

See your father who is under the Nine Springs..."

Seeing that her son Zhang Dachui was encouraged to join the guerrillas again, Aunt Zhang began to wipe her tears and scold Zhang Dachui again.

"I have asked someone to arrange a marriage for you in Dawangzhuang, a neighboring village. As long as you don't join the guerrillas, we will find an auspicious day to arrange the wedding in two days. Then we can live peacefully.

How about joining them in the war?"

Seeing the silent Zhang Dachui, Aunt Zhang was quite helpless. For ordinary people like them, living their lives was the right way.

"Mom, there are Japs and traitors everywhere here. We don't even have enough to eat. How can we still live a peaceful life? If you don't let me join the guerrillas, I won't be married anymore." Zhang Dachui also seemed angry.

's opening.

"You, you are going to piss me off to death."

Seeing Zhang Dachui who was determined to join the guerrillas, Aunt Zhang was so angry that she beat her chest.

But this time, no matter what Aunt Zhang tried to persuade him, Zhang Dachui became stubborn and decided to join the guerrillas, life or death.

Zhang Dachui was not a hot-headed person. The Japanese food collection team came to Xiaowangzhuang a few days ago, which deeply stimulated him.

Facing the Japanese bayonets, they had to hand over the food they had worked so hard to grow, which made him feel extremely humiliated. However, he was unarmed and unable to resist, so he could only swallow his anger.

Under the propaganda of Yang Ling and his guerrillas, he finally knew what it was like to be a slave to a subjugated country, and if he didn't want to be a slave to a subjugated country, he had to rise up and resist.

As long as they pick up their guns, fight bravely, and drive the little devils out of China, they will be able to live in peace and contentment and no longer have to worry about the food they grow being robbed.

"Mom, just let me go. If there is danger in the war, I will come back."

Faced with Aunt Zhang's obstruction, Zhang Dachui had to soften his tone and began to give in.

"Anyway, our guerrillas are stationed here, and you can see me every day..."

After several hours of being teased by Zhang Dachui, Aunt Zhang finally gave in when she saw that Zhang Dachui was determined to join the guerrillas to fight the Japanese.

"Okay, I promise you for my mother's sake."

"Thank you so much, mother!"

Seeing Aunt Zhang relenting, Zhang Dachui couldn't help but feel happy. As long as he passed this level, it would be a certainty for him to join the guerrillas.

"But you have to promise me two things." Seeing the excited Zhang Dachui, Aunt Zhang spoke again.

"Mom, just tell me, as long as you let me join the guerrillas to fight the Japanese, I will agree to not only two things, but two hundred things!"

"First, you must promise me that if there is danger in the war, you must take off your military uniform and come back to live in peace and contentment." Aunt Zhang said seriously.

"Yes, I promise mom."

Zhang Dachui thought for a while and agreed, but he already had concerns in his heart. Even if there was a war, he could just find an excuse to excuse it. After all, he couldn't help himself when entering the military camp.

"Secondly, the marriage will be arranged in a few days, and you are no longer young. We, the old Zhang family, are counting on you to continue our relationship."

"Mom, can we wait for a while to talk about this? I..." Zhang Dachui suddenly felt a little bitter in his heart.

Seeing Zhang Dachui's conditions, Aunt Zhang turned serious again and said, "If you don't agree, then you don't want to join the guerrillas."

"Okay, okay, why don't you agree if I promise?" Zhang Dachui is now risking his own life to join the guerrillas.

"Mom, I'm going to sign up first." Zhang Dachui said as he stood up and walked out the door.

Seeing Zhang Dachui who was about to go out in a hurry, Aunt Zhang also complained: "You kid, why are you in such a hurry? You can go after lunch."

"Let's eat when we come back." Zhang Dachui said and was already out the door.

Looking at Zhang Dachui going out, Aunt Zhang's mood was also very complicated, and she didn't know whether her decision was correct.

But now that the war is in chaos, it is indeed not as easy to live on the land as it used to be. Maybe it would be better to go out and have a career.

Zhang Dachui excitedly went straight to the guerrilla recruitment point in Shaiguchang. From a distance, he saw a bustling crowd. Hundreds of people in various costumes had already crowded the long recruitment table.

These people are all young men who came from Xiaowangzhuang and several nearby villages to join the guerrillas. They are all hot-blooded men. Now they are being oppressed by the Japanese and puppet troops, and they have long been dissatisfied.

But before, they had no intention of joining the army to fight the Japanese. Now the guerrillas beat the Japanese severely several times, which greatly inspired them and gave them hope.

Although Yang Ling and the others hesitated for various reasons when they first raised the banner to recruit troops, with the help of someone who took the lead and the good treatment they received, they no longer hesitated and came one after another.

"Queue up, stand up! Come one by one!"

Bearded Wang wore polished officer's boots and had an armed belt on his waist. He stood there calmly and calmly. As soon as he opened his mouth, the noisy young men were shocked and did not dare to push forward.

"Hey, what are you doing? Go queue up later."

Seeing Zhang Dachui running towards him excitedly and about to squeeze forward, Wang Huzi stretched out his hand to stop him and mouthed behind him.

"Yes, sir!"

When Zhang Dachui agreed, he also raised his hand and imitated a crooked military salute, which made Wang Huzi couldn't help laughing.

At this moment, Yang Ling heard that many people had signed up and rushed over.

"How's it going?" Yang Ling felt happy when she saw so many people gathered around her.

"Hey, group member, I really do belong to you. With such publicity, a lot of people came, and many of them are from neighboring villages." Wang Huzi now admired Yang Ling with great admiration.

In the past, their recruitment method was simple and crude. They simply surrounded the village, tied up all the young men with ropes and dragged them away. After being detained by the army for a few days, they all became honest.

However, Yang Ling did not adopt such old rules, but instead used a publicity campaign coupled with generous benefits. As time went by, more and more people took the initiative to sign up.

"Tuanzuo, these are some good seedlings." Seeing these energetic young people, Wang Huzi's heart blossomed with joy.

"Tomorrow we will send a few more recruitment teams to nearby villages to recruit more soldiers and do more publicity and mobilization."

Yesterday, the recruitment team sent to the neighboring village failed to return, but now that the propaganda has been launched, the young people from the neighboring village have come to the station on their own initiative, so Yang Ling ordered the recruiters to set up posts in each village.

"Tuanzi, the settlement allowance we give to each new recruit now is five dollars. If we recruit more people, the money we have won't be enough. I'm afraid we'll have to pay them nothing."

Seeing that Yang Ling was about to expand his recruitment scale, Wang Huzi had to take the initiative to remind him.

"Well, you recruit people first, and I'll take care of the money. I'll pick it up at the detachment headquarters tomorrow."

"yes!"

After Yang Ling was reminded like this, he also felt worried. There were so many people under his command who had to eat, and the little money he brought seemed to be not enough. It seemed that he needed to think of some ideas.
