Chapter Twenty-Eight: Ruthless (The Second Recommendation Collection)

The old knife head accepted the adaptation, so that the territory controlled by Feng Yong expanded again. The 1st Independent Regiment of the Public Security Corps led by Zhang Xiaoshan was stationed in Changling County, indicating that all the land east of Changling County was covered by Feng Yong's rule.

Changling County has a land area of more than 5,000 square kilometers and a population of more than 100,000. Located on the Northeast Plain, the land is fertile, the terrain is flat, and the products are abundant. But the common people were relatively poor during this period. The first is that the development of this land is unreasonable, the water conservancy facilities are scarce, and the land annexation is very serious. Most of the arable land is in the hands of large landowners. Coupled with the long-term exploitation of bandits and bandits, the people live in extreme poverty.

Zhang Xiaoshan led nearly 2,000 people into Changling County, and immediately surrounded the manors of the three major landlords in Changling County. And with a thunderous force, they rushed into their homes and confiscated all the weapons and ammunition and the land title deeds of Changling County. Because the action was extremely sudden, the three major landlords did not react at all, and the manor was broken. The rebellious militants were killed on the spot. Changling County is different from Lishu County, Lishu County is close to Liaoning Province, has the deterrence of Feng Delin's 28th Division, does not dare to make trouble, and can carry out the agrarian revolution by relatively moderate means, after all, too drastic actions will be easier to destroy the image of their own troops in the eyes of the people. But Changling County is different. Further west of Changling County is the territory of the Siberian tiger, the real green forest boss in the Northeast. Although this Changling County is nominally controlled by the bandit Lao Daotou, the landlord in Changling County, Haoqiang, has a close relationship with the bandits who belong to the Siberian Tigers, and even the old Daotou does not dare to force it too much. The income from the county seat of Lishu County is not much every year. Instead, the focus of the old knife head's income is on the townships below.

The three major landlords of Changling County control almost half of the land in Changling County, and they have a large number of armed forces in their hands. The harvest obtained from this raid on the three major landlords almost made Zhang Xiaoshan crazy. There are almost 600 new Hanyang-made guns, and more than 100,000 rounds of ammunition. There are not many Taisho Type 30 rifles, only more than 400 can be used, and most of the remaining 1,000 are old and damaged. There are quite a few 6.5mm bullets, but they are not very valued by these landlords and are discarded in the corners at will. Because Changling County is close to the Mongolian steppe, the wind containing a lot of sand and dust on the Mongolian steppe can make the Taisho Type 30 rifle with very poor sealing jam. It is very inconvenient to use, and it is far less widely distributed in the hinterland of Jilin Province. If it weren't for the fact that this gun was extremely cheap and easy to buy during the Russo-Japanese War, I am afraid that these large landowners would not have bought it.

As for these Hanyang-made, they were bought from the small bandits under the Siberian Tiger in the west. The Siberian tiger is very related to the Mongolian steppe, and some people even say that the Siberian tiger itself is a Mongolian nobleman. So it is possible to buy guns around the world through Mongolia. And the little bandits under him can get this relatively cheap domestic rifle very easily.

In fact, the Hanyang-made rifle at this time, although it was not as advanced as the German Mauser 98, and it was a relatively backward rifle in the world, but his improved version was a good gun comparable to the Japanese-made 38 rifle. It's just that at this time, people in China still think that the performance of this kind of firearm is not as good as that of foreign countries, and those who have the ability would rather spend more money to buy foreign arms.

But Feng Yong, who came from later generations, did not underestimate this kind of gun at all. In his ranks, there are only two models of standard equipment bullets. 9.36 mm Hanyang-made and Mauser 98 bullets and 6.5 mm Taisho 30 rifles. This westward advance, all the people of the 1st Independent Regiment were redressed in the more adaptable Hanyang-made. The Taisho Type 30 rifle was left in Guojia Town and mounted on other teams. What is modern warfare fought? It is logistics, the same type of ammunition for the troops, and it is easy to supply it in terms of logistics. If the types of bullets are chaotic, I am afraid that logistics alone can exhaust people to death. Therefore, when Feng Yong was about to leave Zhang Xiaoshan, he had already authorized him to recruit new recruits and set up supplementary battalions on his own, and he was absolutely not allowed to add untrained recruits to the regular army.

If untrained recruits are added to the veterans, although the number of troops has increased, the combat effectiveness has decreased invisibly. Feng Yong knew this situation very clearly, so he had already knocked this matter to death to the two chief officers before.

In addition to these rifles, Zhang Xiaoshan also made three Makqin heavy machine guns in the homes of the three major landlords, and there were also a lot of bullets, but the wheels under the rifles were nowhere to be found, and the three major landlords only used them as fixed firing points.

In addition, all the wealth accumulated by these three major landlords for countless years was plundered. The grain in the granaries was also mothballed. No one else is allowed to access it. Among the three major landlords were temporarily detained, and their families were also imprisoned. This series of actions is tantamount to a bomb that has stunned the entire Caichangling County.

At the same time, Hu Shiheng's team began to visit the county seat of Changling County, focusing on the poor tenants, who came the next day to accuse the three major landlords of persecuting them. The landlords of this era controlled the life and death of their tenants, and they could not say that all the bad things were done, but everyone was not clean under their buttocks. Hu Shiheng was just a small measure, and many miserable people living on the verge of death came to complain.

On the third day, the number of people had exceeded 100, and they were noisy in the county office where Hu Shiheng was doing business. At noon that day, Hu Shiheng opened the gate of the county government and asked people to receive the people's papers, and began to interrogate the case in a similar way. Although Feng Yong's subordinates had initially established a gendarmerie team, the number of gendarmerie was not large, and they were not sent for fear of hindering Zhang Xiaoshan. Let Zhang Xiaoshan, Zhen Zhen and Hu Shiheng discuss everything. Therefore, although Hu Shiheng tried the case indecently, as long as the goal is achieved, who cares if this way is right!

The case did not last long, and each large landowner was listed with dozens of crimes. There was a landlord who even lewd his wife and daughter, and did all kinds of evil, which made Zhang Xiaoshan and Zhen Zhen, who were observators, turn pale, and if they hadn't cared about the government's face, I am afraid they would have shot him a long time ago. This also made them understand why Feng Yong hated bandits and landlords so much. This is all a cancer of society!

When Hu Shiheng finally announced the death penalty of the three major landlords, and dragged them out together with a large number of dogs, the people who were watching from the entire Changling County Ya cheered.

"Lao Hu, you really have the means, and you actually eliminated the three major landlords in this way." Zhang Xiaoshan said with some admiration. He knew very well that this old man was a ruthless man, and the last time he pretended to be a bandit and attacked the big landlord Bai Mancang, he must have also paid attention to it. This time it was much more crisp than the last time, and the methods were much more intense.

"Captain Zhang, your words will make you embarrassed. If it weren't for your independent group as a backing, I wouldn't have dared to use such drastic means even if I had ten guts. It is a good thing to deal with these three major landlords, but the remaining landlords are afraid that it will be a little troublesome. We must act quickly, there are still twelve landlords in Changling County, I am afraid that they have begun to flee now, and they must all be blocked in Changling County, or I am afraid it will be a trouble in the future. ”

"Hehe, don't worry! Our regiment is already moving as planned. But Lao Hu, why don't we clean up the remaining small landlords like we do with these big landlords? Just let them hand over the land, isn't it cheaper for them? Zhen Zhen said with some doubts.

Hu Shiheng sighed and said: "The landlords are easy to eliminate, but most of them are local gentry, and their local relations are intertwined. If they are all killed, I am afraid it will cause unrest in the entire Changling County. And our purpose in dealing with the three major landlords is to make an example of the chickens and monkeys. On the one hand, we show our strength, and on the other hand, we also want to attract the attention of the local people. The commander said that as long as we win the hearts and minds of the people of Changling County, even powerful forces will not be able to drive us out of Changling County. But the people's will is not achieved in one step, but needs to be subtle. The first thing we need to do is to gain a foothold in Changling County. The next step is to divide the other forces in the region. Don't underestimate these forces, although they may seem inconspicuous, they can cause great turmoil at critical times. ”

The two nodded.

In the evening, news came from the 1st Independent Regiment that all 12 landlords had been trapped in their homes. Hu Shiheng's order has also been conveyed, four landlords chose to give in and sent the title deed, and the remaining eight did not respond.

"These landlords really want the land and don't want their lives!" Zhang Xiaoshan said with a sigh.

"Wait one more day, send someone to deliver an ultimatum, life and land can only be chosen." Zhen Zhen said murderously.

"Yes! It is necessary to solve the land problem in Changling County between the hands of the tiger in the northeast. Hu Shiheng's eyes were lowered, and he didn't know what to think about.

In Tongyu County, Jilin Province, a team of fierce soldiers took advantage of the night to enter the county seat.

"Miss, this is the information that Changling County just transmitted!" A sturdy man said. This girl is the granddaughter of the Siberian Tiger, Tuoba Huiji. The surname Tuoba was extremely brilliant in ancient China, but it declined later, and now the number of people with the surname Tuoba outside the Guanwai is not large.

Tuoba Huiji looked at the information in her hand and frowned. "Their first independent regiment indiscriminately exterminated the three major landlords in Changling County. They also put all the landlords in Changling County under house arrest, what are they going to do? ”

"Miss, according to our intelligence, since the rise of this Feng Yongbu, it has always pursued the ownership of all the land in the jurisdiction into the hands of the government. And land buying and selling is not allowed. ”

"The land is in the hands of the government, why? Isn't this against all the landlords in the world? Did he dig his own grave? Tuoba Huiji couldn't understand the reason why Feng Yong implemented this policy. In the cold and freezing northeast, it is a little better, almost all the dignitaries and nobles are concentrated in Liaoning Province, and Jilin Province has no eyes on the big landlords and aristocratic forces. But once Feng Yong takes over Feng Delin's class in the future and becomes a giant in Liaoning Province, I am afraid that those high-ranking officials and nobles who own land in Liaoning Province will immediately run to the opposite side of Feng Delin. At that time, I am afraid that even Feng Delin could not protect Feng Yong.

Why, exactly?
