Li Jie's puzzled face quickly revealed an expression of sudden realization, and then he confirmed.
"If we want to seize the time to catch up with the main force, there must be no accidents on the way. Platoon leader, I support not mobilizing them to join us!"
Li Hao did not answer, but shook his head and replied: "But now I have changed my mind!"
"I just discovered a problem when I was questioning two prisoners: we are not locals. As soon as we opened our mouth, others knew that we were outsiders and then suspected us. In order to successfully catch up with the main force, without any accidents, our team must
Be local!”
"In addition to the few prisoners in front of us, we also need to mobilize the people of Rongyan Village to join us!"
"However, before mobilizing, we must make it clear that we are a lone army and may be wiped out by the enemy at any time."
"If he still wants to join us then, it will prove that his heart is indeed with our Red Army!"
"You don't have to worry about them deserting when you're on the march, and the possibility of accidents on the road will be minimized!"
Li Jie immediately asked: "Then what should we do next?"
"First clean the battlefield and see how many treasures the Rong family has hoarded. After dawn, organize the common people to take away all the Rong family's property, and then mobilize the common people to join our Red Army. This time when recruiting troops, we must do it better than to have too much!"
Li Hao searched around Rong Guocai's study and bedroom. As soon as he came out, Hong Linfeng and Chen Bing rushed over with excitement on their faces.
"I found at least 8,000 kilograms of grain in the granary, half-packed pork, more than a hundred kilograms of bacon, and several chickens in the kitchen. The salt alone weighed more than thirty kilograms!" Hong Linfeng became more and more excited as he talked.
Chen Bing then added: "I found six mules and horses, and two boxes of cigarettes. After asking the prisoners, I found out that this Rong family is not only a big landowner, but also a drug dealer who smuggles and sells cigarettes. No wonder he is so rich. He can
Feed so many vigilante groups!”
"Smoking is so harmful. No matter who it is, as long as it comes in contact with it, the whole family will be destroyed... This Rong Guocai smuggled two boxes of cigarettes at one time. How many people would be harmed if they were all sold! No, absolutely not.
Let them continue to harm people. Platoon commander, give me two prisoners, dig a hole and burn the two boxes of cigarettes to avoid future troubles!"
Li Hao stared at Chen Bing with an uncertain look on his face and asked, "What did you just say? In addition to being a local rich man, this Rong Guocai also smuggles and sells drugs!"
"Yes, platoon leader!" Chen Bing affirmed.
Li Hao was worrying about how his troops would catch up with the main force next. When he saw Chen Bing nodding in affirmation, a very bold idea quickly came to his mind.
Then he ordered Chen Bing: "Don't burn those big smokes. Take them all back. I can use them!"
"Whether we can successfully catch up with the main force, maybe our hope lies in these big smokes!"
"I searched Rong Guocai's study and bedroom and found a secret room, but there wasn't much money in it, just ten small yellow croakers and less than 500 yuan!"
"I was still thinking that the Rong family couldn't possibly have only this little money, otherwise how could they support so many vigilante groups!"
"The two big boxes of cigarettes you found explained everything at once!"
"They spent all their money to buy cigarettes. They definitely didn't have much money before they started selling them!"
"However, we have seized a lot of ammunition. Three boxes of rifle bullets, a total of 1,500 rounds. Two boxes of 40 hand grenades. Although there are not many pistol bullets, there are still 200 rounds. With these ammunition, in the next few months,
We don’t need to worry about ammunition anymore!”
"You and Hong Linfeng organize the prisoners to tie grain, ocean, smoke, weapons and ammunition, grain, meat, and salt to the mules and horses, and then take away other supplies!"
"Li Jie and I organized the folks in Rongyan Village to distribute food and try to mobilize a few people to join us!"
The gunfire started at the entrance of the village, and the people in the village were awakened.
Everyone closed the door tightly and blocked all the movable things in the house at the door to prevent anyone from rushing in and harming themselves and their families.
"Bang bang bang..."
The gunfire stopped, the harsh sound of a gong suddenly sounded outside the door, and Li Jie's voice reached their ears.
"Everyone in Rongyan Village is fine. Let's gather at the gate of the Rong Family Courtyard. Go now!"
The notoriety of the Rong family in Rongyan Village has long been deeply rooted in everyone's heart. They don't know that the Rong family in Rongyan Village has become history. In order not to be troubled by the Rong family, even though they don't know the purpose of their visit, they still help the old and the young.
I rushed to the Rong family compound, fearing that I would be late.
In less than ten minutes, more than 200 people gathered in the open space outside the courtyard, looking ahead with their heads held high.
Li Hao stood on an Eight Immortals table in front of everyone and shouted at the top of his lungs: "Folks, I want to tell you good news: from now on, the Rong family no longer exists in Rongyan Village, and the bully Rong Guocai has been taken over by us.
Beat him to death!"
"We are the Red Army. After learning that Rong Guocai was bullying the people in Rongyan Village, we came here to kill him to vent his anger."
"The Rong family is gone, and the things of the Rong family must be returned to everyone, both emotionally and rationally. I now announce that each of the more than 200 people in the village will be able to pick up thirty kilograms of grain from the Rong family tonight as a gift.
We, the Red Army, will give you compensation!"
"In addition, our Red Army is a team of poor people. Although our current strength is not as good as before and we are chased and beaten by white dogs, I believe that the final victory will definitely belong to our Red Army!"
"When you receive food, you can consider whether anyone is willing to join our Red Army. If so, come to me directly at the gate!"
After Li Hao finished speaking, he jumped down from the table.
Li Jie came over and reminded him with confusion and worry: "Platoon leader, it's so simple and it's over? Don't complain? Will anyone join us?"
"No!" Li Hao shook his head and replied.
"Complaining can definitely mobilize many people to join us, but a lot of follow-up ideological mobilization is needed to ensure that they are fully integrated into our Red Army, and we have neither the time nor the energy to follow up!"
"So when you want to recruit people, you also need to recruit people who recognize us as the Red Army from the beginning!"
"Don't do too much mobilization and instigation, let them consider joining us. Although there will be few or even none who are interested, as long as they make up their minds, they will not be half-hearted and will continue to follow us."
"We are in urgent need of a few local people to join us, but we must ensure quality, and it is better to have a shortage than to overfill it!"
At five o'clock in the morning, all the more than 200 people in the village received food, and then continued to close the door tightly and did not have any contact with Li Hao and others.
The hope on Li Jie's face slowly turned into disappointment. He had been busy distributing food for several hours, but not a single person joined the Red Army.
Li Hao was also disappointed, but he did not show it. Instead, he comforted Li Jie.
"They definitely don't understand our Red Army. If we let them join rashly, there will only be harm but no good. Li Jie, forget it, I believe we can catch up with the main force with our own strength!"
