The committee meeting on the second day had different results because of Yang Rui's change of strategy: the peasant association's side was recognized by everyone early because it did not involve armed struggle; And the base area, or rather the anti-Manchurian base area, because it no longer 'kills local tyrants and divides the land', only reduces rent and interest, and severely punishes traitors, and is agreed by everyone to pass guò.

Yang Rui got Wang Jitong's signature in the end, and suddenly felt that people were actually very funny, and 'local tyrant' was replaced by 'traitor', and then he passed guò. Who is a 'local tyrant' is decided by the military government, and who is a 'traitor' is also decided by the military government, with different names and the same result. What is a traitor? Those who held a false position in the Manchu court, and did not stand on the side of the military government in the Manchu encirclement and suppression, those who stood on the side of the Manchu Qing were traitors, and even those who only paid grain and taxes to the Manchu government were traitors. From this point of view, all the people who have land and money in the world are traitors, because they pay taxes and go around in circles, it is still a revolution between the rich and the poor, but the righteousness is a national revolution. Righteousness, this is the righteousness that Yang Rui wants to kill people and do whatever he wants, and he thinks that in the future, when the gentry in the world are cleansed, everyone can wear such a traitor hat, and people will either be cut or reformed through labor, and then all the property will be owned by the state......

Yang Rui thought about killing all the gentry in the world, his smiling face distorted, the fingers of his hands were crossed together, and he used all his strength, and the muscles and veins in his hands appeared. There are many more backbones in Hangzhou who died in defeat than in the battle of Fengtian, and after waking up, he did not cry or claustrophobic, but immediately devoted himself to the aftermath, although he was busy, but because of the pain and resentment of the sacrifice of his comrades, he accumulated in his heart, especially Cai Yuanpei did not die, so that he did not know how to hold back a resentment in his heart.

Yang Rui didn't know how long he had been in a frenzy, and only after he became clear did he begin to redraw the plan for the anti-Manchurian base area: since he did not kill the local tyrants and divide the land, then rent and interest reductions were always required, and for those landlords who refused to 'borrow' grain and 'borrow' wages, they would be sentenced to the crime of traitor...... He wrote so quickly that he didn't see an extra cup of tea in the corner of the table.

Cheng Ying actually came in just now, because of the improvement of the relationship between Yang Rui and his father. made her feel a sense of joy all day long, but when she saw Yang Rui's crazy appearance, she didn't even hear him call him twice when she was frightened, so she had to retreat quietly. Why do people become so distorted, this is something she thinks, but she can't think of it.

When Cheng Jing was stunned, Yang Rui came over with tea. As his assistant, her room was next door to Yang Rui.

"Why are you here...... Cheng Ying was interrupted by Yang Rui before he finished speaking, "The tea is so delicious." He said casually, then put the cup of tea on the table, then grabbed her by the arm and hugged her.

"What are you going to do?" Cheng Ying was a little surprised.

"What do I want me to do?" Yang Rui was thinking crookedly. The thief laughed on his face.

"You... Don't do anything! Cheng Ying was shocked, when the two kissed last night, he stuck his big tongue into his mouth, which was not done before. She looked at Yang Rui's thief and smiled, a little panicked, and felt that he looked like the same as just now.

Looking at the person struggling in his arms, Yang Rui said, "Okay." I don't want to do anything but talk to you. Did you just come over? ”

Cheng Ying saw that he didn't move, so he quieted down, and when he asked, he nodded and said, "Well, come here." ”

Yang Rui saw her admit that he knew that his madness was seen by her, and he was probably frightened. Then he said softly: "I don't know what's going on, I used to just use a knife to chop the table when I was angry." Now it's crazy. He said this, rubbed his chin on her head, and then said: "When I first came to Shanghai, I only felt that China's qiē was not bad, and then I went to the Northeast, and I realized that the world of the concession is very different from the world outside the concession, and I know the difference between the rich and the poor." Go to the back. The more I want to blow the whole world apart and rebuild it! What a world this is! What kind of country is this! Pure shit! …… But reality, but reality has to make you compromise! Let you endure! Makes you stare dryly! So ......"

"So that's what you're doing, aren't you?" Cheng Ying raised his head, looked at his face, and asked softly.

"Hmm. What a fucking grievance! But it's still ...... But ...... "Yang Rui wanted to say, 'I was fooled and messed up the plan'." But considering that the affairs of the committee were still rarely said in front of Cheng Ying, the words came to his mouth and swallowed again.

"May I ask you a question?" Cheng Ying still looked up at him in his arms, and stroked his face slightly distorted by excitement with his hand.

"Say it. As long as I can say. Yang Rui said.

Cheng Ying couldn't help laughing when she heard him like this, she said, "I ask you, is it okay to do evil for the sake of good?" ”

Cheng Ying was very smart and did not directly ask about the murder in the base, but extended the question directly to the relationship between good and evil, she was actually afraid that it would stimulate Yang Rui, but she was afraid that Yang Rui would become a bad person who did all kinds of evil for the revolution.

Cheng Ying couldn't surprise Yang Rui by asking this, the base plan was compiled by her, and she knew the content clearly, and the things in it would indeed make her resist, who was born in a well-off family. But even if she resisted, she asked the question very carefully. Looking at her looking up at her face, Yang Rui said, "Actually, it's problematic to ask that. ”

Cheng Ying didn't answer, quietly waiting for his next step.

"There is evil and good in human nature, and good and evil are human nature. It is not right to divide human nature into good and evil. "In the past, Yang Rui was also spinning between good and evil, but now he has bypassed. He asked rhetorically: "Do you know what a revolution is?" Revolution is, in the final analysis, an evil! Why is it said to be an evil, because the ultimate purpose of the revolution is to satisfy the ** of all. This is actually the reason why Hegel said that 'evil is the driving force of historical progress', and it is evil that drives history, not good. In many cases, the good is an obstacle to the revolution. Morality, kindness, ethics, law, etc., etc., are the foundation of the old society, only by destroying all these things, can the new world be established, and everyone's ** can be satisfied, which is the inevitability of history and the inevitability of revolution. ”

Yang Rui's words made Cheng Ying unable to refute for a while, and she hurriedly said: "But... But can't the revolution kill fewer people? ”

"A revolution is a revolution, and you have to kill people when you should have them, and you won't kill people when you shouldn't." Different from Cheng Ying's anxiety, Yang Rui said very calmly.

Cheng Ying was even more anxious, "But if that's the case, then people will scold you in the future...... They ......"

"Revolutionaries should not look at good and evil. That's just the horizon of ordinary people. What he sees should be whether history has been promoted, whether human nature has been satisfied, and whether the nation has become stronger. As for the descendants, there have been people who pick up the bowl to eat, put down the chopsticks and scold their mothers since ancient times, Qin Shi Huang is counted as one, and Emperor Yang of Sui is also counted as one. There are ......" Yang Rui stopped here when he said this, and then sighed helplessly: "Someone once said that ingratitude is the nature of a great nation. Maybe when everyone scolds me as a tyrant, that's when the nation really awakens. ”

Cheng Ying saw that Yang Rui said so helplessly, but he was worried that he would really become a tyrant that everyone hated, so he was so anxious that he was about to cry. She grabbed his clothes and said, "But if you really become like that,... What to do? ”

Feeling her concern, Yang Rui couldn't bear to lie to her, so he had to coax her and said, "With you, it won't be." ”

Yang Rui's last words of comfort went straight to Cheng Ying's heart, there is a kind of woman who is most afraid of being needed by men, and the happiest is also needed by men. Since this conversation, Cheng Ying seems to have let go of all his vigilance against Yang Rui. Even, at a certain time, when the two of them were intertwined with love and almost couldn't hold it, they were ruined by the very unfortunate Chen Guangshou.

The committee's deliberations on the operation of the peasant associations have all been completed, the clear and restricted matters have been discussed, the Yanzhou side has also been notified in place, the term local tyrant is no longer mentioned, and the division of land has been temporarily suspended. Fortunately, Zhang Chengyue, the military political commissar, was born in political science and engineering, otherwise he would not have been able to correct such a change in slogan and direction. In fact, fortunately, the local tyrants who were punished before were all people from the fish and meat township, and they had done good things, but they had also done bad things, and they finally had a reason for the past. As for the fields that have been divided, they will not be able to recover them at that time. Zhang Chengyue, who had no choice, had no choice but to give these families a blank note.

After the specific policy was decided, the next step was to convene the provincial committee members to come to Shanghai for the second congress, and Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangsu, Anhui, Hubei, and other provinces had been so badly damaged that they could only re-select the provincial representatives from among the members who had already been examined. Or only one representative from each province attended. After the Second National Congress, Yang Rui will go to Tonghua to do a profound training for the members there, so that the revolutionary ideas of all the revival members can be transferred to the rural area.

In the process of waiting for the representatives of various provinces to go to Shanghai, Xu Huafeng helped Yang Rui go to Chengfu to propose marriage. Cheng Weinan can be regarded as resigned to his fate during this time, it is difficult for a daughter who has escaped marriage to remarry, and when 'Zhu Bajie' becomes a human, he is indeed a talent and an extraordinary conversation. The most important thing is that after he asked Yang Rui's family name that day, he went out to inquire about this Yang Jingcheng person, and was startled when he asked, isn't this another Sun Cannon! Cheng Weinan doesn't care about what career his son-in-law can achieve, but hopes that his daughter will not be widowed in this life. Since it is Sun Cannon, the safety is definitely guaranteed, and seeing that Yang Rui really likes Cheng Ying, he finally relieved himself and nodded. Although Cheng Weinan nodded, the wedding could not be held immediately, let alone in Shanghai. After more than 20 days of tossing like this, Yang Rui's life events have finally been completed by a quarter, and the next thing is to go to Honolulu for a passing motion.

When the private affairs were completed, the representatives of the provinces were also present, and among the deputies of the first congress, three defected, six were killed, and four were completely unable to take charge of local work because of righteousness or wanting. As a result, only half of the 29 delegates last time were able to work properly. If there are no people, they can only make up for it, but although there are fewer people, the rest are determined elements under the grinding. It's just that these staunch elements are very disapproving of the peasant union revolution.

In general, the three provinces of Zhili, Shandong, and Gansu supported the peasant revolution, but in fact, the main reason was that they had no good relations in the army in these places, and they could only turn to the countryside if they could not break the situation. In Hubei and Shaanxi, because there are already many members in the army, there is no way to go to the countryside to mobilize the peasants, and Deng Wenhui in Jiangxi has a close relationship with the Hui Party, hoping to start with the Hui Party; The remaining provinces of Shanxi, Henan, Sichuan, Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong were very opposed to the rural revolution, because after all, they had mainly stayed in the cities for a long time, and they were very indifferent to the concept of peasants and peasants.

Under such circumstances, the second congress was temporarily adjourned on the third day, and Yang Rui, who had no plans in every way, wanted to replace these people who did not support the peasant union revolution, after all, their bookish anger was too strong. Even if you want to do peasant work, I'm afraid you can't. But seeing that they were all very enthusiastic about the revolution, he came up with another idea, that is, to simply put the rest of the society in the disaster area, and if they still did not approve of the peasant movement, then they would be replaced or put aside.

In 19o6, the floods were extremely severe in various places, and in the spring and summer, heavy rains fell on the Hunan side. coincided with the flood discharge of the Yangtze River, the water discharge of Dongting Lake was not smooth, and there was a major flood that had not been encountered in 200 years, nearly 50,000 people were drowned, and millions of people were affected; Then the rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River is also heavy rain, and Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and Anhui are also prone to floods. Xuzhou, Haizhou, and Huai'an are the heaviest. What is even more terrifying is that because of the commercial economy in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the grain self-sufficiency is insufficient, and the rice is imported from Sichuan, Lianghu and other places, but in the first half of the year, Hunan was hit by the disaster, the rice import was limited, and the local area suffered again. Millions of people have no rice to buy and are waiting to be fed. Now the Northeast Agricultural Reclamation Company has opened a wharf in Haizhou, pulling the victims to the Northeast every day, and Yang Rui is going to Haizhou.

Since it is a rental industry, it is necessary to have a cover, and through the relationship between Yu Huizu, Mu Xiangyao got dozens of sets of documents of the Chinese Red Cross Society from Lu Haihuan, the Minister of International Trade and the president of the Red Cross. The group just took a boat loaded with grain and headed for Haizhou. However, since it is a cargo ship, it is naturally not as comfortable as a cruise ship, even Yang Rui is lying in the grain pile, and the rough sacks in the warehouse make him think of the grain management office in his hometown when he was a child, and he can't help but sigh, even after more than a hundred years, the sack is still such a sack.

"Why does it smell so good?" Grain heaps. Cheng Ying was lying in Yang Rui's arms, she now tied her head up, and her face was smeared with carbon ash, which was very black. However, the gray and black on his face and the snow white on his neck are in stark contrast, and Yang Rui can't help but kiss her many times, making her neck itch.

"It's Doubai. Shipped from the Philippines. "Cottonseed oil in the United States rose sharply, and soon crossed the price line, and oil mills in the Philippines opened, and a steady stream of margarine made in the United States was exported to Europe, and the beans were sold to local farmers.

"Doubai?" Cheng Ying was a little surprised, her eyes widened, she remembered that her family's sugarcane orchard used this fertilizer. "Can you eat this thing? Isn't it fertilizer? She asked.

Yang Rui remained silent, dug out a little bean from the crack of the sack, stuffed it into his mouth, and said while chewing: "Now that they are going to start eating people over there, this is always more fragrant than the bark of grass roots, and it is more hungry." Besides, the price of rice in Shanghai will soon reach ten yuan per stone, and this one will only be two. Speaking of the price of rice, Yang Rui said viciously, "Rice merchants should be killed!" ”

"Ahh I have killed people, but I haven't seen people eat people, Cheng Ying is a little discolored, "Is this really the case?" ”

"I've only heard about it, but I haven't seen it, so I don't know if it's true or not." Yang Rui touched her head and comforted her, but after speaking, he shook his head, and then said: "In the past few years, I have seen that in this country, nothing is impossible to live." ”

Shanghai on the ship at night, the next day and slept all night, until the day is not dawn, then arrived at a brightly lit port, here is the new port of Haizhou built in the name of disaster relief of the agricultural reclamation company, the location is in the Lianyungang port area of the later generations, the difference is that in the history of this horse waist port area or the late Republic of China built, and now, there are countless free labor in the disaster year, the construction of the port is just a matter of planning, materials.

The cargo ship docked, Chen Guangshou went out to negotiate for a while, and everyone went ashore to have a short meeting in the simple shed of the port, informing them of the next voyage and matters that need attention, and a few members actually complained in their hearts about going to the disaster area, but looking at Yang Rui, Cheng Ying and Zhang Taiyan with their heads, no one dared to say nonsense. After everyone rested for a while, they got on a row of wooden sailing boats carrying beans and cypresses, sailboats went north for dozens of miles, and then turned left into the Linhong River, and only arrived at Xinpu Port on the north side of the outer city of Haizhou until midday, Haizhou City was outside the scope of flooding, and there were Qing soldiers in various provinces in the county border to set up posts to coerce and persuade the victims to return to their hometowns, but they did not see groups of victims for a while, only to see that although the port area in the north of the city was a thatched house, it was also a little lively.

The boat sailed into the Salt River at the Tonghuai Gate in the west of Haizhou, and within a few miles, it saw a dozen or so disheveled soldiers sitting or lying on the riverbank, as if they were supervising several small boats by the river, and these small boats were constantly fishing for corpses coming down from the upper reaches of the river, and the corpses had been in the water for many days, soaked beyond recognition, and the corpses were very swollen, and everyone who saw them was dumbfounded. What's even more frightening is that these corpses are dragged to the shore and piled up together and burned with fire, and the smell of corpses and fireworks can be smelled even from a great distance. Yang Rui only felt that the hand that was grabbed by Cheng Ying tightened violently, but after a while, he let go.

For Yang Rui, Cheng Ying and others, such a scene is the first time they have seen it, but it is very common for the ship boss. After passing the level of corpse salvage, whenever a corpse hits the boat, he just clapps his hands to the sky. After reciting the words, he began to wave the oars and began to hold the boat. The salt river is the ancient Cao River, excavated in the early Tang Dynasty, it is still in use after thousands of years, the river surface is about forty or fifty meters wide, although it is early autumn, the water depth is also one or two meters. Fifty-ton wooden boats are very convenient to sail. After spending the night on the ship, we arrived in Shuyang at noon on the next day. In fact, in a distant place, Yang Rui saw the green agricultural flag of the agricultural reclamation company and the cross flag of the Shanghai Red Word Society, under the high sky and clouds, the two flags flew happily in the autumn wind, and there was a very comfortable feeling, but under the flag. But it is an endless line of black-and-gray shantytowns and the ragged and unveiled victims in the shantytowns. These victims lined up in a sparse queue and were receiving rice at more than a dozen soup kitchens.

"How many people are there?" Cheng Ying asked, she couldn't sleep peacefully on the wooden boat, she was sitting on the bean pile and leaning on Yang Rui's arm just now, and she woke up when she heard the voices of people on the riverbank.

Yang Rui didn't know how many victims there were in Shuyang, but he just looked at the shantytowns that couldn't see the end. said indifferently: "It is estimated that there are seventy or eighty thousand." ”

"Do they all have something to eat?" Cheng Ying stood up, looked at the people who received the meal, and asked.

"There's here." Yang Rui was still indifferent. The millions of victims in Jiangbei could not be saved by the agricultural reclamation company. Sheng Xuanhuai said when collecting donations that 'every two taels of silver can save a people's life', but the disaster area is not only in Jiangbei, Sichuan, Hunan, Anhui, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Guangdong have floods, and the total number of victims is more than 10 million. And that's just this year, and the river workers are sluggish. Water and soil are not protected, disaster prevention is not good, and from O2 to the present, there are various disasters and famines in the newspapers every year. It is better to give relief to the country than to provide disaster relief.

Yang Rui only said that there was one here, which meant that there was no other place, thinking of the corpses and the disgusting corpse smell that went down the river, Cheng Ying didn't ask anymore.

At the end of July, the Agricultural Reclamation Company was transferred to Haizhou for disaster relief, and the investigation team that had completed the first phase of the investigation was sent to Jiangbei because of the lack of manpower. This has the meaning of helping disaster relief, and it also means planning future events.

6 Wan's current attire is different from before, he is not affiliated with the Red Cross, but wears the uniform of the agricultural reclamation company, or knows that Yang Rui is coming, he wiped his whole body with a damp cloth before getting on the boat, but the dust is no more, but the dirt is still sticking to the clothes, coupled with the dirty head and emaciated face, more like a disaster victim.

"How's it going?" Yang Rui did not ask for warmth, but directly asked him about the specific situation.

"Mr. Report, there are more than 400,000 victims in Shuyang, and we are doing our best to save people." Yang Rui's appearance made the already tired 6 Wan suddenly have a sense of strength, and his voice deliberately increased, "It's just that the food is not enough, I'm afraid I won't be able to save those many people." After the high note, his voice was reluctantly lowered at the end.

"Save what you can." Yang Rui said.

6 Wan stayed in the disaster area for a month, and he was already numb to life and death, so he just said: "Sir, the next step is Qingjiangpu, where the victims of the disaster in southern Anhui and Jiangbei are gathered, there are millions of them, and the grain ships are dangerously tight in the past." Last month, even the military rations were robbed by the victims. ”

6 Not to mention that he didn't know yet, as soon as he said it, Yang Rui remembered that when the committee was deliberating, it was mentioned that the victims of the disaster had robbed the ships transporting military rations across the border. He sneered: "Where there are many disaster victims, you have to go and see, otherwise many people have no impression of the peasants." Besides," he said, looking at the men with wooden sticks who had come on board with 6 Bang, "didn't you bring soldiers with you?" ”

As soon as Yang Rui said, 6 was embarrassed, these victims with wooden sticks were all trained by him with the method of training soldiers in books and newspapers, and they could not be regarded as soldiers at all, he said embarrassedly: "Sir, how can this be considered a soldier." ”

"No more nonsense. You go ahead and lead the way, and you go wherever there are many victims. This time, I will be robbed by the victims! Yang Rui stared at the disaster camp not far away, and said categorically.
