The 130th Festival brings together villages and villages
"is it him?"
"It's him." Minfu said softly.
"Carry this body to the village and throw it on the threshing floor." He ordered, "Let everyone see the fate of the traitor."
The Fubo Army entered the village as the villagers watched in panic, and then began to demolish the liaison officer's house. In less than fifteen minutes, the entire house was razed to the ground. Everything was dismantled and transported to the outside of the village and burned, leaving only a very thick bamboo as the main beam.
The soldiers drove an ox with an iron plow attached to the back and plowed the land that had become a white field on the homestead. Then, a bag of sea salt was sprinkled into the furrow and buried.
Finally, bamboos were erected on the homestead and the body of the liaison officer who betrayed the work team was hung up.
"Don't take it off until it turns into bones," Lin Shenhe ordered.
A new work team was dispatched from Danzhou. The captain is temporarily represented by Lin Shenhe. Then, Liu Yixiao and Yu Zhiqian also followed the work team to Wangpu Village. For a time, the center of power in Danzhou was transferred to this desolate small village.
Liu Yixiao expressed concern: "Is it appropriate for you to come here too?"
"It's not like there are no senators in Danzhou City." Yu Zhiqian said, "I also want to inspect the battlefield. Besides, if such a big thing happened, the leader didn't come to the front line in person. How can we let the Senate know about it?"
The entire village then underwent a large-scale cleanup. The newly arrived work team no longer talks about opening up mountainous areas and cultivating cash crops, and they don't even engage in the original work of recruiting husbands for the army.
Both Lin Shenhe and Liu Yixiao suspected that there were other people in the village who were related to bandits. In addition, Liu Yixiao believed that the villagers could not know anything about which group of bandits they came from.
These issues must be thoroughly clarified. Construction cannot be carried out peacefully unless the root causes of danger are dug out.
Under the supervision of soldiers, the men of the village built a bamboo fence outside the village, dug trenches, and erected a lookout tower inside the village. Menial work outside the village must be approved by the resident staff of the work team. The village began to register its permanent population and established a household registration system.
Several team members wearing blue collar badges began to talk to the villagers "back to back" one by one. Everyone from eighty years old to eight years old had a heart-to-heart talk and everyone passed the test.
This kind of investigation turned over the details of everyone in the village. Finally, someone revealed that Chen Lianjian in the village had connections with bandits.
This man was a bandit for many years. Later, he was injured and lame in his leg before he came back to farm. There is a wife and several daughters at home. Without a strong labor force, life was tight.
Chen Lianjian said that he had indeed been a bandit, but he was not the same group as the bandits.
"They are Hu Lanyan and have nothing to do with Xiao Xiao. They are definitely not seduced by Xiao Xiao." Chen Lianjian repeatedly cried out, "Hu Lanyan and his gang came from Lingao."
Chen Lianjian didn't know much about Hu Lanyan's group. He only knew that they came from Lingao last year. They had many people and became the largest gang in Danzhou once they arrived.
Lin Shenhe slapped the table: "How much do you know about the local bandit situation? Tell me everything honestly."
Chen Lianjian was uneducated and was just a junior among the gangs. I don't know much about it. However, he still revealed a lot of information about the local bandits' gang numbers, number of shares, activities and slang. Lin Shenhe realized that this person was quite useful to them. If it is handed over to professional reviewers, more "materials" can be dug out.
"Come here, lock him up alone." Lin Shenhe said with concern, "Keep an eye on him."
"Yes" the guard was about to leave. Lin Shenhe stopped the guard again, "His wife and daughter were also arrested and held in solitary confinement."
"The little one is already a useless person. He can no longer eat this bowl of rice. Don't you dare to have any more delusions? Please look into it, sir." Chen Lianjian begged. He felt that the Australians would probably treat him and his whole family as a "chicken" to be killed as a warning to others. , enjoy the same treatment as the liaison officer.
"Do you want to kill a few people to show off your power?" Lin Shenhe asked Liu Yixiao, "You can kill Chen Lianjian, who was a bandit."
Liu Yixiao shook his head: "It's not appropriate. Chen Lianjian was not involved in the attack on the work team. Most of the people in the village were neither principals nor accomplices. At most, they did not act bravely. Killing people like this is unjust and unjust."
"It would be a pity if we didn't kill a few people." Yu Zhiqian was disappointed, "This can't suppress the locals."
"People have been in poverty for a long time, and they are inevitably ideologically numb and ignorant, and they only know how to protect themselves." Fang Jinghan, who is responsible for conducting political review and public sentiment and social research, said, "This is a typical thinking of obedient people. Whoever can be the master will do - as long as they can give It’s a way to survive, since they are so poor that they have nothing to lose.”
"I still think a group of people should be killed." Yu Zhiqian felt very unwilling to let the villagers go. "If we don't kill people, it won't be enough to establish authority in Danzhou and seriously affect the public security of Danzhou."
Liu Yixiao firmly opposed: "It is meaningless to kill innocent people indiscriminately. These villagers are very hateful, but there is no reason to kill. Killing people indiscriminately will only expose our inner weakness."
Although Liu Yixiao was firmly opposed to massacring villages or killing people, he still had no idea how to deal with this matter.
The report on the Zhaopu Village incident he submitted to Lingao caused an uproar in the Senate. The news from Liu Muzhou was very bad. The senators were extremely dissatisfied with his work. It is very likely that he will be replaced as captain of the Danzhou work team.
Once this position was withdrawn, his hopes of serving as the first county magistrate of Dan County were completely dashed. Not only that, this political stain is difficult to wash away. He was frustrated and disturbed. I can only try my best to give myself as many points as possible in the follow-up processing.
If he is too lenient with the local villagers in handling this matter, it will inevitably cause greater dissatisfaction in the Senate - according to Liu Muzhou and his communication, some senators even asked for the massacre of the village.
But being too cruel will also be resented by some elders. How to balance leniency with severity made him very embarrassed.
After thinking for a long time, Fang Jinghan came up with a "collective punishment" plan.
The plan is to confiscate all the property of the entire Wangpu Village villagers as punishment for the elimination of the work team.
"Shit, what property do they have?"
“The land here, even though it’s small, is also property.”
"Okay, what are we going to do with this land?" Danzhou also doesn't lack land, it lacks people.
"The focus is not on the land - depriving them of their land also deprives them of the resources to survive here." Fang Jinghan said, "All the labor force in the village has become a population for our direct control. If you want, call them It's not a bad idea to be a 'state slave'."
"Similar immigrants are indentured servants..."
"That's it. Move the entire village to a place with better conditions, merge the villages, and turn the villagers into our direct population. Make it the first commune in Danzhou."
"A commune with thirty households? There are too few people."
"We have consolidated villages and gradually relocated and merged these small villages. This will not only facilitate population management and control, but also facilitate development."
After the population migrates away, the local area can be completely abandoned - there is not much development value in the first place. When the mountain resources are needed in the future, they can completely migrate here.
As for the relocated villagers, Fang Jinghan suggested that they should be used immediately. First, all the men aged 18 to 25 in the village should be recruited as soldiers.
"The army is a melting pot." Fang Jinghan said, "In the melting pot of the army, Wei Aiwen pours some rice soup, and then you goose-step for three years to develop discipline. When you come back, you will be a qualified 'newcomer.' This is the only way for adults." It’s just mandatory.”
All children under the age of 18 are sent to Lingao for compulsory enrollment. The younger ones go to national schools, and the older ones attend apprenticeship training classes. The remaining people are used as laborers. No human effort is wasted.
"Just follow this idea." Liu Yixiao nodded and agreed to his plan, "Right now, there is a shortage of people to build the road. This group of people will build the road for three months after moving to the new place."
"It's better to build the commune first." Yu Zhiqian quickly added, "I think the foundation of the city of Zhonghesuo of the Guards Station is good, there are many empty houses, and it can fully accommodate immigrants. Let's regard Zhonghesuo as the future Danzhou City. The site of a commune.”
The next week, more staff members and a second infantry company were transferred from Danzhou. The village was tightly surrounded by soldiers. Subsequently, the work team entered the village in batches and ordered each household to pack their luggage and prepare to move.
The villagers are very poor, and the only property they have is a few rags, farm tools, and the most basic daily necessities. The best people have cows.
"You don't need to bring anything except soft clothes and livestock," the indigenous team members kept shouting with loudspeakers. "Everything will be available when you get to Xinde Village. We will also provide you with food and drink on the way."
According to the standards of the traveling group, the villagers had nothing that the elders valued except themselves and their livestock. The farm tools and other things used locally are so inferior that they might as well be recycled as scrap iron. Even the most precious iron pot veterans feel it is a waste of iron. Not to mention the problems of utensils and hygiene - after comprehensive consideration, everyone agreed that it would be more worry-free to implement a comprehensive supply system.
Things left in the village are inspected and reused - ironware, metal objects, cotton and linen textiles, etc. are disinfected and recycled. Everything that has no use value will be destroyed on the spot. Everything, including the houses, was demolished. Completely eliminate the desire of immigrants to return.
The only thing left in the village was the badly decomposed body hanging on a bamboo pole. Flies were buzzing about it.
When the people were carrying their luggage and setting out on the road, demolition work had already begun in the village. The rumbling sound of houses collapsing and the rising smoke made the immigrants look sad and hesitant. a! ~!
