Chapter 129: Peasant War II(1/2)

spn
April 1, 1930, Xiadiankou Village, Jiangkou Town, Fengkai County.
This small village at the junction of Guangdong and Guangxi belongs to Guangdong. This may have been a good thing many years ago, or many years later, if only for no other reason than because two or three kilometers away is Guangxi, whose economy is far inferior to that of Guangdong.
However, this is not the case at all today.
Although Xiadiankou Village is under the jurisdiction of Guangdong, it is located at the junction of Guangdong and Guangxi. It is close to the four no matter zone where heaven and earth do not care about Guangdong and Guangxi. There are no "government" institutions and no "government" policies. Some are just clan traditions, and some are just clan traditions.
The clan supervision and discussion system that people spontaneously formed.[
The social system is backward, the economy is backward, and the people do not have enough to eat. In addition to paying rent to the landlords, they also have to bear various exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes from the new national government and local governments. It doesn't matter if the government forgets you, but you can't.
Without the "government", this is the current situation.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with this. In other words, when the surrounding villages are in the same situation, many people may be dissatisfied with this living situation, but people will choose to accept it. The kind-hearted Chinese people are the biggest
His only ability is that when the knife is not placed on his neck, he will try every means, endure all the hardships, and survive like a dog.
However, when everything has a comparable existence, even the most resigned people will rise up.
Less than three kilometers away from Xiadiankou, Jiangkou Town, Fengkai County, is Huangmaoshan Village under the jurisdiction of Wuzhou City, Guangxi.
Although Huangmaoshan Village is far away from big cities and is not the core administrative area of the Southwest Government, through Huangmaoshan, some commodities from the Southwest Government can enter Guangdong.
Moreover, as a comprehensive rural policy, the policy care received by Huangmaoshan Village is no different from that of rural areas on the outskirts of Kunming. The policy policy of benefiting from the few but not equally allows everyone to enjoy the best benefits.
Minimum distribution of benefits. (Limited to policy formulation principles, not equal wealth policy.)
After overthrowing some of the largest landowners in Wuzhou, Huangmaoshan Village was allocated land, which allowed it to use the latest rice and wheat seeds, plant various improved vegetable and fruit seeds, and use a variety of chemical fertilizers to increase the harvest.
They were exempted from dozens of exorbitant taxes, large and small, and did not even need to pay any taxes except taxes on fertilizers and seeds. They also received poverty relief and repairs.
Road subsidies, and even absolute care from education policies. Farmers are getting richer day by day. In addition to paying the national seed and fertilizer taxes, they only need to contribute some money and effort to participate in the construction of village roads, and the excess agricultural products can be sold.
, or sold to vendors who travel from village to village, or to wineries, bakeries, and food factories, which often require extremely large quantities of grain.
There is a scene where the old are supported, the poor are helped, the people are rich, and the few are educated.
On the other hand, in Xiadiankou Village in Guangdong, except for a few rich farmers who own reasonable land, most of the land is still in the hands of large and small landlords. Year after year, the rent becomes more and more demanding, the taxes are too high, and even
The warlords were forced to recruit strong men to replenish the army. Looking at the whole
People in Jiangkou Town, and even the whole of Guangdong, are in dire straits. And the only benefit they can get may be education. No matter where you are a student, as long as you go to the school opposite Wuzhou to register, the school will accept you and send you a report.
, a large number of approval quotas have been released, as long as
With proof of local clan poverty, you can still enroll in school for free, eat free student lunches, and receive the most modern education. As a result, many students eat rice, white flour buns, and meat at school at noon.
Fresh vegetables, after school, when I get home,
But they can only eat overnight steamed buns with kohlrabi or salted beans to fill their stomachs. Many students feel sorry for their families and would rather eat less at noon to take the saved meals home with their families.
Let's eat together. No one can bear to live without knowing the taste of meat for half a year.
The people in Xiadiankou Village have had enough.
They don’t understand why Guangxi, which is separated by a wall, can have enough food and clothing, and why Guangxi, which is only a stone’s throw away, can enjoy various policies of the new “government”. They can’t understand why the Guangdong warlords station heavy troops at the border between Guangdong and Guangxi.
.
Why are they all Chinese, but the southwest "government" can live a good life, and even get better and better, while the national "government" can only eat chaff and drink water.
Liao Zhengcai was the most educated person in Xiadiankou Village. He was also among the first batch of students to cross the border between Guangdong and Guangxi and enter Guangxi to study at the age of fifteen.
First in a town in Wuzhou, with the idea of giving it a try, Liao Zhengcai came to a newly built local primary school. He approached the teacher at the registration office and wanted to register. However, when filling out the registration form, the teacher was in a dilemma because
, this student is from Guangdong.
At that time, the southwest "government" was still in its infancy, and various policies were not yet complete. Just when Liao Zhengcai was about to go home in despair, the teacher, who was only 18 or 9 years old, asked him to wait for a day and took him to live in his home.
, and then ran to the county government to ask the Education Bureau for instructions.
At that time, Liao Zhengcai learned that this 18 or 9-year-old young man was actually the principal of a primary school.
The result of the request made Liao Zhengcai overjoyed. The Education Bureau reported the matter to the highest government at that time. On the same day, it received a personal reply from the supreme leader Zhang Shusheng: Hundreds of millions of people in the country are all citizens of China. Education is a century-old plan and should not be treated as such.
Territory plan. Anyone who comes to study will be accepted regardless of where they come from.
When the policy of studying close to school that Zhang Shusheng had been implementing early on was expanded to a larger area, Liao Zhengcai became the first batch of lucky ones. He did not rush to enroll in school, but returned to Xiadiankou Village and brought more children
, everything went into this new school.
Time flew by. When Liao Zhengcai skipped a grade to complete his primary school studies, he entered the local county junior high school. There, his grades were equally excellent. He graduated in two years and entered Wuzhou Intermediate Technical School.[
After graduation, he did not rush to enter the modern factories throughout the southwest, nor did he rush to enter the grassroots "government" in the southwest. Instead, he returned to Xiadiankou Village.
He wants to do something, something that has been planned for three or four years.
He clearly remembered what the politics teacher at the intermediate technical school said: There are only two ways to reform society. One is to overthrow one regime or conquer another regime. The other is to rely on the power of the people and the power of society to achieve this kind of reform.
Social reform. The power of the people is often embodied in government. The power of society is reflected in public opinion and public opinion. However, the latter mostly appears in the West, and in China, this kind of power can only be government.
After returning to Jiangkou Town, Liao Zhengcai spent almost all his time visiting his neighbors. His footprints were all over Fengkai County and even several nearby counties.
At the beginning, he used the agricultural knowledge he learned on his own to guide farmers. At the same time, he made detailed publicity to the local people about various welfare policies and people's lives in the southwest.
Gradually, people everywhere began to believe what this young man said, and also liked to listen to the very new things he said. However, slowly, people discovered that the good life that Liao Zhengcai talked about would always only exist in Guangxi across the street.
, but in Guangdong, where I live, it is dark.
People began to ask Liao Zhengcai for advice on how to change and how to have a life that can be lived like in Southwest China.
Liao Zhengcai told people that the best way is for every household to take action and either go to Guangxi or let the southwest "government" call over.
**'s propaganda was very successful. Guangdong's people have always been civilized. The theoretical knowledge that Liao Zhengcai learned from his school politics class made him almost the only hope in the eyes of the locals. Some even believed in Christianity that he was sent by God. (
Christianity is very popular in some coastal areas.)
Finally one day...
"Folks, why do we continue to be oppressed by the damn big landowners, why do we continue to be exploited by the damn old 'government', why do we continue to live this kind of life that is worse than pigs and dogs. Why don't we stand up and use our own
Strength, transform life, usher in hope.
Folks, you have all seen the life in Guangxi across the street. The southwest "government" is temporarily beyond its reach. So, why don't we take active action? As long as the people's power is concentrated, we can overthrow the warlords. I have already expressed my gratitude to the teachers and teachers in Guangxi.
The classmates wrote a letter, and they promised to forward the petition letter to the southwest "government" to the "government" and the newspaper as soon as possible.
Folks, pick up these weapons, our first goal is to defeat He Batian, and then the Jiangkou Town Hall."
In Xiadiankou Village, Jiangkou Town, more than 200 villagers and thousands of people who came from far and near surrounded Liao Zhengcai to listen to his final mobilization. Everyone held a hoe, an axe, a sickle and even an iron drill in their hands. Liao Zhengcai
In front of him were more than twenty concentrated shotguns.
After two years of careful preparation, Liao Zhengcai worked hard just for this day.
"Comrades, go ahead, overthrow He Batian, overthrow the National Government."
Liao Zhengcai and several leaders, led by respected clan elders, conducted a simple ancestor worship ceremony and then led a large group of people into action.
In 1930, at 3 o'clock in the afternoon on April 1, the farmers in Xiadiankou Village could not bear the excessive taxes and the oppression of the national "government" and big landlords, and launched the Peasant War.
"Seize He Batian and divide the land equally."
When the peasant team arrived at the gate of the big landowner He Batian's house in Jiangkou Town, the number of people had increased from more than 1,000 to nearly 2,000. All the people, men, women, old and young, joined the team.
Come in. Among these people, there are extremely poor people, middle peasants, and rich peasants.
The peasant team did not target the small rich peasants, and even the small landowners were treated well. Only the treacherous and evil He Batian and the big landlords will be baptized like thunder.
He was pulled out from under the bed. Fatty He was trembling, but he was not as ferocious as usual. He was incontinent and tied with a rope and was caught on the spot in Shaiguba.[
People all over the mountains and plains began to criticize He Batian. Under the leadership of Liao Zhengcai, although his children and family were not implicated, none of the evil housekeepers and thugs escaped.
Platoon, these villains who usually ride on people's heads to urinate and shit were stunned. They looked at the legs of farmers who were usually as docile as sheep and didn't understand why they suddenly became so violent.
"He Batian is scared to death, He Batian is scared to death"
Just after the struggle started, Liao Zhengcai thought that He Batian would be killed directly by the angry people. Unexpectedly, He Batian, who had done many evil things, was so timid and was frightened to death by the power of more than 2,000 people.
The angry people saw that He Batian, who had oppressed them for decades, suddenly died. It was difficult to accept it for a while, and they all burst into tears and roared. It was a kind of relief that they suddenly took a breath after being oppressed to the extreme.
A sense of relief from deep within the soul.
"Folks, He Batian is dead, and our uprising has been half successful. However, don't forget, Chen Jitang's troops are stationed thirty miles away. We must leave immediately, move closer to Guangxi, and break through the obstruction
, getting support from the southwest 'government' is our only way out."
Led by Liao Zhengcai, the uprising team began to march towards Guangxi.
However, the development of the situation was somewhat beyond his expectation. There were more and more people along the way, reaching more than 5,000 people. More and more people were joining in, even bringing their families with them, and the entire team was moving faster and faster.
Coming slower and slower, seeing that Guangxi is so close, it is difficult to enter Guangxi for a while.
"Order the First Regiment of the Sixth Division of the Garrison Division stationed in Guangxi to immediately enter Guangdong to support the peasant uprising team. After the task is completed, station on site, prepare for further attacks, and wait for the follow-up main force."
After receiving the news of the peasant uprising at the border between Guangdong and Guangdong, Zhang Shusheng immediately signed the war order and decisively started the battle to resolve Guangdong.
The general staff moved at wartime speed. The action plan that had been prepared for a long time was slightly modified and was immediately sent to the participating troops.
After the expansion before the War to Liberate Sichuan, the Southwest Army in 1930 had expanded from 3 main divisions to 6 main divisions on the basis of retaining the original garrison divisions stationed in each province. A new garrison division stationed in Sichuan was added.
