"Go to the countryside. [Read the latest chapter]" Hu Lanyan nodded. He heard a lot from the bandits who defected from many other gangs about how powerful the bandits were when they went to the countryside.
They knew that the most important thing for thieves to do was to "go to the countryside". They had heard of "work teams" when they were in Lingao. One by one, they were protected by soldiers and went deep into the wilderness and remote areas. Some went to the villages to inquire about news. When they were stationed, they trained their country warriors. Some of them climbed mountains and ridges, drew pictures of landscapes, and collected various stones, branches, and leaves. The seemingly inconspicuous team, like spiders, spread their webs in all directions, and finally tightly trapped the entire Lingao area, killing all disobedient enemies and forcing everyone to obey them.
"Australians are overseas, why can they stay in Lingao?" Gou Xunli patted the taro scalp on his hand, "The most important thing is to 'go to the countryside'. If you stay in the county, you can't figure it out no matter how many people there are. Regarding things in the countryside, when they go to the countryside and establish a foothold in the countryside, many people will naturally reveal the news to them."
Hu Lanyan said: "Brother is right. But what should we do?"
"What should we do?" Gou Xunli said fiercely, "Come and kill each other, so that the work teams that go to the countryside will never come back."
"The Kun thief has powerful firearms. If we people kill him, we will die." Hu Lanyan was shocked. He had never fought against Kun Thief face-to-face, but he had heard a lot about it from other people. Generally speaking, rumors are always scarier than facts.
"My little brother is here to think of something." Gou Xunli thought for a while, "Call Xin Nari."
Xin Nari had narrowly escaped with his life in the ambush in Daolu Village, and wandered in the grassy mountains and forests for a long time. Only when he met the men with wild eyes on the road did he have a place to go.
He was scared to death by the Australians. Whenever he mentioned the Australians in the team, he would talk about how powerful the Australians were, how elusive they were, and how sharp their firearms were.
He was shocked when he heard that Gou Xunli wanted to deal specifically with the work teams sent to the countryside - the remnants of the party sect thought so too. They planned well from inside to outside, but they were ambushed by someone for no apparent reason, and the whole army was wiped out. Even his sister was captured by the thieves.
"Second Master," Xin Nari said cautiously, "Although the work team is small, there are still thirty or forty people, and all of them have Australian muskets. If we fight face to face, we are no match."
Gou Xunli said fiercely: "Who said we have to do it face to face? We have to play dirty."
On that day, Xin thought to himself that he had had enough fun playing the shady game back then, but in the end, he still didn't play with the Australians, and instead played with the rest of the team, including the girls.
Xin didn't dare to be soft on that day, lest he be blamed by the cruel and ruthless Master Gou. He is a habitual gangster in Lingao. He knows a little about the methods of Gou Erye, who is powerful in both black and white, and is very afraid of him. Moreover, Second Master Gou is now the second shopkeeper of the gang, much stronger than this little guy like him.
"It all depends on the second master's clever plan..."
"Stop talking empty words," Gou Er said dissatisfied, "You have dealt with their work team. Come and tell me the details."
"We are not familiar with the place. It's a bit embarrassing to come to the countryside like this," Wang Wu said worriedly, looking at the dark night outside. As he spoke, he unconsciously touched his holster again - which contained the Lingao version of the revolver.
Liu Dazhu was making straw sandals for himself and smiled nonchalantly: "People who have a little money are afraid of death. We have guns in our hands, and there are more than 30 company members and soldiers. How can any group of ignorant bandits eat a bear?" Are you brave enough to die?"
Wang Wu was a little embarrassed. "That's what I say," he murmured. I wanted to refute it, but I think what the other party said made sense. It was only ten miles away from the garrison under Danzhou City, and the gangs usually only numbered a few dozen people, and those with hundreds of people were considered large groups. With a gun, grenades, and a strong house as a bunker, if bandits came to rob the camp and rob it, it would be like seeking death.
"You are one of the small property owners who have a weak will to fight as Du Chang said." Liu Dazhu skillfully sold Du Wen's teachings that he had eaten alive. "When fighting against the enemy, you have to face various dangers. If you are afraid of the tiger in the front, you will be afraid of the tiger in the back." How can a wolf carry out its work?”
"Yes, you are right." Wang Wu could not speak like Liu Dazhu, so he could only agree with him.
Wang Wu and Liu Dazhu are both from Daolu Village. After the pacification of the Shisan Village area, this area was used as a pilot area for "power to the countryside", and many people were absorbed into various groups and training classes piloted locally. One of them is the village cadre training class, which specializes in training grassroots rural cadres and team members who work in the countryside.
When choosing future village leaders, Du Wen preferred poor peasants, believing that they were similar to the proletariat and had a sense of struggle. Liu Dazhu, the poorest peasant in Daolu Village, participated in the training class. His motivation is simple - the village leader training class provides three free meals. This is something we cannot achieve at any cost.
Although Liu Dazhu was poor, he was very clever and had no family business to manage. He soon devoted a lot of enthusiasm and time to this business that could make him a full meal. He became a good student, received a C diploma, spent almost all time in the village cadre class, and devoured a large number of various educational pamphlets compiled by the Ministry of Education. He soon became a "highly aware" person. is a student who is very much appreciated by Du Wen.
As for Wang Wu, a rich farmer, he has a family and business and does not intend to be a "village leader." However, the Australians' suppression of bandits taught him the concept of "protecting property with the barrel of a gun". When the 13th Village Basic Militia Company was formed, he signed up to join the basic militia. Wang Wu is very passionate about defending the "new life". His family had a large labor force, so he spent a lot of time on the organization and training of the militia, and became a militia squad leader.
"Summer Awakening" required a large number of work team cadres. Not only did all the veterans who were willing to serve as work teams be transferred, but many indigenous cadres and trainees were also transferred from Fangcaodi and various communes to enrich the team. It was against this background that Wang Wu and Liu Dazhu were transferred to the Danzhou work team.
After Liu Yixiao initially gained a foothold in Danzhou and established a liaison system, he divided his team members into several teams. Each team consisted of seven or eight indigenous cadres and students, and was equipped with an infantry platoon as a guard force. . According to the principle of first approaching the nearest and then the farthest, it will gradually expand to the whole territory one village at a time, and finally achieve the goal of establishing village political power in all villages in Danzhou.
The work team led by the two came to Zhaopu Village, a village more than ten miles away from Danzhou City.
This is a small village with more than thirty households. This place is not far from the city, but the terrain is quite rugged. It takes half a day to hike. There are barren mountains and ridges along the way, and the surrounding environment is very desolate.
Families in the village make a living by cultivating the land at the foot of the mountain, and have also opened some terraced fields. Due to the lack of water sources, farming depends entirely on the weather. The people's lives are very difficult - of course, this is normal in the rural areas of this time and space, and there is nothing strange about it.
Because of poverty, there are no people in the local area who can even be called rich peasants. It is truly a very poor village. It will be included in the first batch of targets for the government to go to the countryside. In addition to being close, it is poor first.
If you are poor, you want to change. Such villages are not attractive to young people. Poverty also makes people satisfied with a small amount of material stimulation. It is easy for the work team to cultivate the first batch of available personnel among the local population. Part of the large amount of grain and cloth taken out of the Danzhou grain depot was transferred to Liu Yixiao on the spot to be used as funds for the current activities.
After the Zhaopu Village work team arrived in the village, they started working according to the process arrangements in the "Work Manual". The division of labor is that Liu Dazhu is responsible for "village administration" and Wang Wu is responsible for "militia". Liu Dazhu's niece, a graduate of the women's training class named Liu Bin, is responsible for youth and women's work.
The work team learned about the situation in the village and distributed some food supplies to help the poorest people. A symposium was held with heads of households. When people talk about local conditions, they mainly use the word "poor".
The village only produces enough food to satisfy their hunger, and transportation here is inconvenient. Basic consumer goods such as salt, cloth, and ironware become very valuable when shipped from outside, making the people even poorer.
The banditry problem here is not serious, probably because it is too poor and remote, and even bandits rarely visit. Wang Wu is very concerned about whether anyone in the local area becomes a bandit? After asking through various channels, there was no such person.
Liu Dazhu took the guards around the village. He was no stranger to farming, but there was little land and a lot of mountains here. It is completely different from Daolu Village.
"We still need to invite the Heaven and Earth Council to come." He murmured to himself. He decided to add this to his report.
At night, they met under gas lamps to write reports.
"The young and middle-aged labor force here is abundant, and they can be recruited to serve as the first batch of Danzhou Guard Company soldiers."
"I roughly tested my intentions, and there are a lot of people willing to go. I can transport at least twenty soldiers. That's almost one soldier per household."
“Wouldn’t this mean that the local militia is depleted?”
"In such a small village, it is certain that all the people will be soldiers. The remaining men can organize enough to form a militia platoon."
"How is the implementation of the Qinglan Plan going?"
"Project Qinglan" is a special plan of the Time Travel Group to take in orphans from occupied areas. It is an important item in the performance evaluation of the work team. In order to make the shelter situation in his team look good, Liu Dazhu has been lobbying the particularly poor families with many children in the village these days to ask them to hand over their underage children to the work team and send them to Lingao to be raised. This practice is not illegal, but is actually encouraged - the education department welcomes more children into their hands, so that they can be molded into a new generation. v! ~!
