Zhuang Jihua frowned and said, "Classmate Gong, is it too absolute for you to say this." ”

Peng Fentian looked at Zhuang Jihua, and he felt that although the person in front of him didn't know much about the countryside, he had his own ideas, and he insisted on his own opinions, but he was reluctant to say it because of caution.

"For a lifetime, even for the next generation, I don't think I can do it. However, I do not think that what I am doing now is meaningless, and my personal experience is that in order to solve the rural problems, we must first solve the economic problems of the peasants and improve their economic conditions, so we must mobilize the peasants to rise up and fight for their rights. And to mobilize the peasants, you have to get them to agree with you, and I think it's worth it. ”

Peng Fentian paused, swallowed his saliva, and then said: "I admit that the majority of the peasants are ignorant and backward, and in order to change their situation, it is all the more necessary to mobilize the peasants. And only let them identify with you and accept you; He will believe and accept what you say. This is my personal experience. ”

In the end, it is a practical work, not like those students who are full of empty slogans and naïve ideas; What made Zhuang Jihua even more admired was Peng Fentian's attitude when he said this, sincere and unpretentious; There is no preaching, let alone preaching. This is a martyr, like the ascetics of the Middle Ages, who persevered and persevered for his faith.

Zhuang Jihua is silent, he has always admired such a person, whether he insists on faith or morality, does not change due to changes in identity, money, and environment, and always sticks to his own persistence; In his previous life, he had also met such a person, and he had only one word for such a person - obey.

"Brother *Brother also seems to have thoughts about the countryside, can you tell us about it." Peng Fentian asked.

Zhuang Jihua said lightly: "There, I don't know much about the countryside, and I can't say anything. ”

"I had some perplexing questions when I was working as a farmer; There are many contradictions between clans in the countryside, and some contradictions have even developed to the extent of clan fighting; In addition, there are some problems, such as when the peasants rise up, some people will aim for revenge, which is a headache. ”

Only then did Zhuang Jihua understand that Peng Fentian really wanted to discuss the problem with him, not publicity.

"These problems are inevitable, and the masses are sometimes blind, so we must guide, educate, and restrict." Zhuang Jihua was cautious, and tried his best to say in a tactful tone: "For example, if you eat, if you don't eat, you will starve to death, and if you eat too much, you will die." Therefore, I think that the speed of mobilizing the peasants should not be too fast, and the speed of development should be determined by the number of rural cadres. At the same time, laws and regulations should be used to guide and limit the excesses therein. ”

"But there are no laws and regulations to guide the peasant movement?" Gong Xiuhua interjected again, and Peng Fentian was thoughtful.

"There is nothing that can be enacted, this is the role of the political axe and the political party, your party can push for the formulation of a law or regulation; What is more important is to train a group of cadres who understand the law and understand policies as soon as possible. ”

"I found that your views are similar to that change, not because of his influence." Gong Xiuhua asked suspiciously.

"What is influenced by him, that's my opinion." Zhuang Jihua's good feelings for her that had just sprung up were almost gone, and his tone was a little impatient.

"Oh, I see, you just changed it."

"How do you plan to attack it in groups?" Zhuang Jihua asked nonchalantly.

"Hehe, look, the heart is empty; Don't worry, I'm not going to attack you, I'm going to interview you and your battalion. "Gong Xiuhua painted a proud look of finding the secret.

"Interview me?" Zhuang Jihua was a little puzzled, and then understood: "Director Zhou agreed?" ”

Of course, no sooner had Ben had shed two tears than he surrendered; However, I was not allowed to go to the forefront, at most to the battalion level. "There was a little bit of loss in my pride.

Zhuang Jihua thought to himself that if you go to the forefront like that, I'm afraid you will be scared into tears.

"That's for your good."

While the three of them were talking, Li Zhilong saw them here, so he came over, and as soon as he came to the topic, he immediately moved to today's conference. Only then did Zhuang Jihua know that today's meeting was attended not only by peasant representatives from various townships in Jieyang, but also by representatives from Hailufeng, Liao Zhongkai and Peng Pai, who arrived yesterday, and even Chiang Kai-shek had to attend the meeting.

This made him cautious, he thought that he was just trying to maintain the order, and now he had to raise it to the level of vigilance, thinking of this, he complained to Qian Dajun in his heart, why didn't he report such an important situation? So he said goodbye to a few people and went to check the vigilance deployment again.

During the inspection, Qian Dajun hurriedly came to tell him that Chiang Kai-shek, Liao Zhongkai, and Peng Pai were all going to attend the conference, and asked him to strengthen his vigilance. Qian Dajun couldn't do it, he just knew that this was obviously a mistake in the arrangement of the people above, and he could only comfort Zhuang Jihua a few words, and then recheck the surrounding safety guards with Zhuang Jihua.

As time passed, more and more people came to the venue, and the colorful flags fluttered at the venue, and the voices of people were buzzing. Chiang Kai-shek, Liao Zhongkai, Peng Pai and a few people in long shirts sat on the rostrum, and Peng Fentian in time.

The master of ceremonies of the conference announced the opening of the meeting, and the drums and slogans in the venue shook the sky, mixed with the crackling firecrackers, which was so lively.

Liao Zhongkai, on behalf of the Generalissimo Xingying and the Central Party Department of the Kuomintang, announced the establishment of the Jieyang Peasant Association and sent a congratulatory letter. The congratulatory letter said that the peasant question is the most important issue in the Chinese revolution, and that in the rural areas, our party advocates the practice of allowing the cultivators to have their own land in order to solve the people's livelihood and hardships, so our party supports the establishment of peasant associations and hopes that the peasants in Jieyang will carry out the anti-imperialist and anti-feudal struggle under the leadership of the peasant associations and promote the development of the revolution. After the establishment of the peasant association, half of the reverse property confiscated from Jieyang went to the peasant association, three-tenths to the trade union, and two-tenths to the school, and the base camp and our party did not take a penny; …。 Liao Zhongkai's speech provoked bursts of applause and slogans.

Chiang Kai-shek's speech made Zhuang Jihua a little surprised, Chiang Kai-shek was dressed in military uniform, looking extremely heroic, in fact, Zhuang Jihua found that after seeing Chiang Kai-shek, Chiang Kai-shek's appearance was still very handsome and chic, not as ugly as some legends.

“… This army is a unit created by the prime minister himself, and it should resolutely implement the righteousness of Sanming to save the country and the people; The principal is also from a peasant family, and he is well aware of the hardships of the peasants, so he hopes that the peasants will organize themselves and carry out the revolution, and you will be credited to the victory of Lihu; So I decided to give the peasant union 100 guns and 50,000 rounds of ammunition for the peasant union to arm. …。 ”

Chiang Kai-shek was very generous, and sent out 100 guns and 50,000 rounds of ammunition at once, which was what surprised Zhuang Jihua. But he noticed that the reaction under Chiang Kai-shek's speech was not very good, he quietly asked a peasant next to him, the peasant saw that it was an officer to ask, and naturally told the truth, it turned out that Chiang Kai-shek's Zhejiang accent sounded very difficult, and many did not understand, this reaction was natural...., which made Zhuang Jihua laugh.

Then Peng Pai's speech was different, and Peng Pai first asked: "Farmers! How can we live well? ”

"Let Peng Bodhisattva be the emperor." The crowd below shouted. Zhuang Jihua was a little dazed, Peng Pai's prestige in the rural areas of the Dongjiang area was very high, and he was called Peng Bodhisattva by local farmers, but he didn't expect it to be so high. Peng Pai smiled tolerantly: "We don't have an emperor now, and we don't need an emperor; If we peasants want to live a good life, we must rise up and struggle and become masters of our own affairs, and today we are setting up peasant associations to pool the strength of our peasant friends, declare war on the local tyrants and inferior gentry, and work with one heart and one heart to implement the ...... of rent reduction and interest reduction. ”

Chiang Kai-shek was leaving near the end of the congress, and at the school gate he saw Zhuang Jihua arranging the escort for the subsequent procession, and he called Zhuang Jihua over and asked him what he thought of today's congress. Zhuang Jihua said simply: "It is necessary and good to set up a peasant association, but it is necessary to guide and restrain the peasant association. Chiang Kai-shek was noncommittal.

The next day, Xu Chongzhi led the 7th Brigade back to Jieyang from Chao'an, and in the afternoon the headquarters of the Eastern Expeditionary Army held a military meeting in Jieyang.

Peng Fentian: Fight local tyrants and divide the fields; Hand in your ticket.
