MTL - Zhui Xu-v6 Chapter 1131 Bitter winter (5)
In the Chengdu Plain in winter, the weather is not considered cold, but there are thick clouds floating, dyeing everything in a cold and hard color. So the clouds were gray, and so were the trees in the field.
More than a hundred miles west of Chengdu, Shannanba is a well-known large village in the vicinity. There are more than 2,800 residents in the village, with a total of more than 500 households.
Surrounded by mountains and rivers, the official road from east to west was built here early. This year, the Huaxia Army widened this official road and brought in bricks, tiles and timber. On the side of the official road, the land was leveled and the construction of a school began. At the end of October, when the rumors about the equalization of the land intensified, the working group of the Huaxia Army entered here in a mighty manner. The atmosphere around the village immediately became tense.
As one of the first batch of hundreds of villages involved in the land equalization operation, there were eight working groups, one hundred and two people, who came to Shannanba. The number of each group ranged from twelve to thirteen, plus the accompanying guards. Soldiers, with a total of one hundred and thirty-six members. On the second day after arriving at Shannanba, the whole work has been carried out step by step.
After occupying the Chengdu Plain, the first task the Huaxia Army did was to carry out a round of general investigation of the land and household registration of the entire jurisdiction. After defeating the Jurchen West Route Army, this work was carried out in a more detailed manner This is the preliminary preparation for the land reform.
And since June of this year, with the exaggeration of equal thinking, interviews with various big landlords and big clans in Sichuan have started one after another on land policies. After the General Assembly adopted the resolution on land reform in mid-to-late August, a large number of gentry and landlords went to Chengdu or Zhangcun to negotiate with the Huaxia Army on the details of the reform.
The relatively intense negotiation period was about two months, and no substantial results emerged.
During this period, after the General Assembly passed the resolution, it began to methodically deploy manpower in various departments, establish core demands, formulate specific plans, and split up the implementation steps. Subsequently, members of various departments including law, publicity, civil affairs, land, and finance were organized to enter the stage of practical operation simulation, and according to the progress of the negotiation, a certain degree of confrontation drills were carried out.
In the case of Ning Yi's direct responsibility, there is no external disturbance that can delay 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 officers, completed the final assembly and oath, and were cast to 100 nodes in the entire southwestern land at the same time.
Land reform began.
…
In Shannanba, Ning Xi conducted a two-day field visit and identification work with the experienced shopkeeper of Zhuji and the veterans of the Huaxia Army stationed in Shannanba.
He is now one of the three advocates of the 17th working group among the 100 working groups, which is the focus of the entire land reform work. According to the official arrangement of the Huaxia Army, in order to obtain the right to equal land distribution, the local residents must first conduct seven formal lectures, three militia drills, and a simple assessment. The instructors need to be responsible for these lectures and the final assessment .
From the current political system of the Huaxia Army, the scale of tens of thousands of people has been transferred into this inevitable long-term operation. At this time, the various groups try to implement the strategy of bringing the old with the new. The leader of the 17th working group, and the responsibility of the captain of the entire Shannanba, was Kang Zhuming, one of the leaders of Zhuji in the past.
This is a senior shopkeeper who has followed Zhuji since Jurchen went south for the first time. He has accompanied Jianbi Qingye and participated in the battle of Xia Village. He is one of the most outstanding executives in the Huaxia Army. While shouldering the responsibilities of the general captain and team leader, he is also one of the three propagandists in the 17th working group, responsible for imparting the necessary preaching skills to Ning Xi who has started to work with this kind of specific mass work.
The nearly 3,000 residents of Shannanba have already been divided into eight parts according to their residences, and more than 200 adults among them are under the responsibility of the 17th group. Therefore, in the first two days, Kang Zhuming took Ning Xi and others to identify places in the village. and the number of people, and visit the door to understand the basic situation. In addition to the three preachers who lead the class and the veterans stationed in the village, there is a young man who is in charge of logistics and also comes to study behind them. Only four fingers are the posthumous son of Qin Shaohe who was taken back to the southwest after living in the north for twelve years. In the past, the pet name Shishi was now named Qin Weijun.
"...From the stream in the north to the road in the south, this area is easy to remember...Try to remember how many people there are in each household. It's not troublesome to record in the early stage. I'm afraid that something will happen in the middle...These two hundred people are divided into six. One class, six rounds of preaching every day, if there are a few people who refuse to come every day, it will be very troublesome in the later stage, and there will even be more impostors and troublemakers. We don’t give them any land, but in the first round of our work, we still try to be as beautiful as possible, there is no need to make chicken feathers and duck blood... I used to remember people’s appearance, and I have some experience..."
While visiting, Kang Zhuming talked about these points with Ning Xi and Qin Weijun. Ning Xi listened carefully, and took notes in his notebook, while Qin Weijun, who was carrying a burden on his back, leaned over to watch.
At the end of October, it was already the slack season in the countryside. Among the gray and black houses, children with runny noses shouted and ran on the road. Some walls had been painted with "equal land rights", "equality" and "civil rights". " and other slogans, the adults looked at the members of the Huaxia Army walking in the village with vigilance, confusion, or ready to move under the eaves and in the houses.
In the dark, they exchanged glances and whispered.
Kang Zhuming and others, who were dressed in shabby but neat clothes, went from courtyard to courtyard under the leadership of the veterans stationed in the village. After entering the door, Kang Zhuming first saluted and then greeted him.
"It's Liu Sanwu's Uncle Liu's house, okay, old man, I'm Kang Zhuming, the preacher from the Huaxia Army..."
After the second preacher reported his name, Ning Xi also saluted from the sidelines and said loudly, "Uncle, my name is Goudan!"
Qin Weijun said, "My name is Maodan."
Both had endearing names.
"...We are here to deal with the distribution of land. I don't know if the old uncle is clear about this matter... By the way, I will take the liberty to come to the door. I have a little gift. Every family has it. You are welcome..."
During the conversation, Qin Weijun presented a small package of candy with a publicity picture of equality printed on it. After the other party accepted it embarrassedly, he began to talk about the lectures that he would give in the next two days, and at the same time confirmed the actual number and names of the family .
In the cold village, the propaganda members of the eight groups are visiting the residents in the village, saying hello, handing out publicity candies, and introducing the upcoming courses. Seeing the gentle attitude of the members of the Huaxia Army, after a little communication, many residents carefully asked questions such as whether they could really have land points, whether the assessment was difficult, etc. Kang Zhuming and the others also patiently made Some explanation.
The country says that it wants to distribute land to people and everyone is equal. This is something that has never happened and has never been realized for thousands of years. Its beginning is going on in such a peaceful way. It is also full of anxiety and doubt.
There are also some residents who have shown great resistance to this matter. The whispers and whispers in winter are occasionally mixed with the curses of the old people in the village.
On this day, Kang Zhuming took Ning Xi to visit more than 50 households in the village. In the evening, the two parties separated. He hurriedly grabbed a few bites of food in the cafeteria, and then went to another front in the village. This is the scene where the members of the land, finance, and law groups communicate with the clan elders and big landlords in the village on land redemption. The place is located in the Liu's ancestral hall in the village. Oil lamps were already lit in the ancestral hall when he arrived. The atmosphere is oppressive and dull.
The team members who came here have been preaching and communicating with the landlords and elders in the village all day long, and all the words of Che Jilu have been spoken back and forth. But with the arrival of Kang Zhuming, the atmosphere in the ancestral hall still erupted into a heated climax, and all the topics that had been raised during the day were re-opened—but this was also expected in the previous deduction—Kang Zhuming expressed his gratitude to Various topics were answered again, from the general trend of the world to the thinking of the Huaxia Army to the arrangement of everyone's interests, and after that, it was naturally another round of topics that had already been said.
"...The property here was handed down by my ancestors, and I have never taken it away by chance...Your Huaxia army is bullying and perverting others, aren't you afraid of the mutiny of the people—"
After Kang Zhuming responded, he just said calmly: "We hope that we don't want to mutiny."
Throughout the ages, the interests of land and people's protection of the justice of private property have never been able to be changed by peaceful disputes. As the other party said, his ancestors have accumulated land from generation to generation, and in his eyes, he has never taken advantage of it. You suddenly want to take his land, saying that it is for the sake of equality for everyone and a better future. Speaking of three to five years, I'm afraid it will be impossible to convince people.
But in any case, after more than a month of publicity by the Huaxia Army, the first official greeting under the process of dividing the territory has been reached.
According to the scheduled work plan, the entire land division work will be carried out from these two directions. When the preaching work to ordinary people is completely completed and the assessment is completed, the redemption work of all land will also end.
That night, the sparks were faint, and the lights in the Liu's ancestral hall burned until midnight. People with land in their families were angry, cursed, and discussed countermeasures. In various places in the village, tenant farmers without land were also in the dark. Whispering, some people have little expectations, and some people think that it may be an excuse for the Huaxia Army to **** the land of the gentlemen.
On the morning of the second day, Kang Zhuming had more business to preside over. Ning Xi, aliased as Goudan, and another preacher continued to distribute the villagers who visited yesterday. A new round of picking up and filling in vacancies was launched. In the afternoon, with the "cat egg" Qin Weijun as the audience, in the small wooden shed behind the school, another round of rehearsals was carried out on the content to be preached next.
"Ahem, folks, elders, uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters, I am the preacher of the Huaxia Army, Chen Goudan... Hehehe, in the next few days, I will discuss it with all the folks and elders, Huaxia Army What is the purpose of coming here to divide the fields this time..."
Cat eggs applaud vigorously...
…
In the early morning of October 29th, the morning mist was still gathering and floating on the winter plain, and the gong of assembly was struck 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 dancing around, the first group of people gathered on the school playground and entered the classrooms with rows of low stools in batches.
Ning Xi tidied her clothes outside the classroom, took a deep breath, and walked inside—
…
According to the scheduled process, the Huaxia Army's indoor courses have a total of seven sessions.
From the achievements of the Huaxia Army, the concept of the four peoples to the simple equality of everyone, and then extending from the equality of everyone to the fact that it is difficult for people without culture and thinking to be truly equal to others, to promote that the Huaxia Army hopes to achieve equality in essence The various means to be adopted, and then in some extremely popular, even similar to the rumors of ghosts, state the great power of Gewuxue on the battlefield and the new appearance it has shown in Chengdu, tell some common sense of law, and finally teach Everyone recognizes the word "Huaxia", learns to write their own names as much as possible, and has a preliminary understanding of ten Arabic numerals.
——And the final land division assessment is actually a simple writing of his name and the word Huaxia.
Throughout the course of the lecture, a section of "Shareholders Complaints" was interspersed according to the specific situation, and then combined with three outdoor exercises, the concepts of simple array and "orders and prohibitions" were instilled in all participating citizens. Those who have completed this round will start to allocate cultivated land.
The outline of the matter is not complicated. In the entire southwest of the land, according to the distance, the time of the first batch of lectures in history is October 29th, 30th, November 1st, and 2nd. The simple development of the course is step-by-step.
But resistance ensued.
In Shannanba, on the afternoon of October 29, five village elders began to cry and curse in the village. They either kowtowed in the direction of their ancestral graves, or stood on the road leading to the school, cursing and swearing. The villagers who went to the class were white-eyed wolves, and there must be retribution. A seventy-nine-year-old old man in the village knocked his forehead to blood on the school playground.
In the past in Shannanba, the Liu clan was quite powerful. The villagers who witnessed all this were at a loss for a while, and some decided not to attend classes. At this time, the first class in batches had not completely covered the entire village of Shannanba, and the situation seemed to be frozen, and people were waiting for the response of the Huaxia Army.
In half a quarter of an hour, the soldiers of the Huaxia Army beat up the old man who was blocking the road and on the playground with sticks, and in another half a quarter of an hour, the soldiers of the Huaxia Army brought the list of crimes that had been collected before, and entered the village to search for people. Five young men from the five old people's homes were captured by the shackles. After announcing the suspected charges, they were directly locked in a house on the side of the campus.
The five old people ignored their grievances and cries that day. They just held them aside with sticks and dispatched military doctors to treat the old man with bleeding forehead. After the other party refused, they ignored them.
On the second day, two old men joined in to appeal for grievances. On the same day, seven young men were imprisoned in the village, including a woman. death penalty.
In the afternoon of that day, Liu Tang, the head of the Liu clan, visited Kang Zhuming and tried to negotiate. When it came to how the twelve people could be exonerated, Kang Zhuming took out part of the list he had collected.
"Those who have not yet been arrested can be investigated in private as appropriate. The Huaxia Army will definitely investigate the cases involving the twelve people that have been announced. After obtaining the evidence, the law will be enforced impartially. Those who should be released will be released and those who should be killed will definitely be released." Will kill... this matter has no turning point, please don't say too much, Mr. Liu."
Liu Tang was stunned for a moment, because the woman who had already been arrested was his elder brother's wife, his own sister-in-law.
On the same day, the cultural courses in the Shannanba classroom directly entered the stage of complaining.
This is a small disturbance in Shannanba during the whole process of the incident, while in other places, all kinds of conflicts are unfolding.
According to later records, ninety-three of the one hundred large villages, when faced with such sudden and even unimaginable big actions, all set off frictions and resistances of greater or lesser extent.
Among them, the one with the most noise was Yujia Village, more than three hundred miles west of Chengdu. Not long after the death of the old patriarch of the Yu clan here, the new patriarch, Yu Tianze, practiced martial arts since he was a child, and has great prestige in the sturdy Yu family village. After receiving the order from the Huaxia army to divide the land, Yu Tianze led nearly two thousand people in the village to rise up. They besieged the 98-member working group from the Huaxia Army, trying to defeat the entire working group and enter the mountains as bandits.
The members of the Huaxia Army's working group stood firm on the ground, using guns, fire mines and other objects to keep the besieged thousand people from coming forward. Three hours later, the first batch of 200 soldiers from the Huaxia Army rushed quickly through the mountain road and defeated Yu Tianze and others who were besieging the working group. Yu Tianze moved towards the mountains.
Eight hours later, 3,000 people from the Huaxia Army gathered in Yujia Village, and then went into the mountains to suppress them. Yu Tianze and others tried to maneuver around the land, but the Huaxia Army who had been in the southwest for many years had already gotten used to the mountains here. After defeating the main force of Yu Tianze's confidants, He was captured alive on the third day, and the suppression in the mountains continued until the seventh day before the troops were withdrawn.
All the leaders of the Yu family who incited the riots will be tried in public three days later, and then they will all be shot ~ www.novelbuddy.com~ The incidents are summarized, published in newspapers, and spread widely.
This is an almost violent scene after being listed alone.
For a long time, after taking over Sichuan and Sichuan, the Huaxia Army has always maintained a friendly attitude, including passing the land reform order in August, and within two months of negotiations, it has always been gentle to all landlords and wealthy households. Courteous attitude, even a hundred working groups stationed in major villages, visiting and negotiating can be regarded as calm and full of courtesy.
This makes many people think that the issue of land reform can still be negotiated or rejected.
No one expected that after such an ordinary round of game tactics, the entire reaction of the Huaxia Army would be so quick, resolute and even violent. Ning Yi's side almost used the attitude of fighting against the Jurchens - even beyond that - towards the entire southwest land, and fell a knife that was beyond imagination.
The entire southwest world was shaking.
In just a few days, everyone fully understood the determination of the Huaxia Army in promoting land reform.
