march to victory

"Old Luo, there are many lights on the opposite side, and there seem to be many people!"

At the beginning, Zhang Qingshan focused his attention on both sides of the road, and didn't pay much attention to the opposite side. However, when he came to the pier, there were boats in front of him, and the boats were swaying. People entering and exiting, laughter, cursing, and shouting formed a noisy and prosperous scene.Only then did Zhang Qingshan notice that although it was relatively dark on the other side of the river, there were still a lot of brightly lit houses and flickering figures, obviously there were quite a few people.And this cannot be seen on the map.

"Boss, the place across the river, everyone calls it the small pier, it's not a good place..."

To put it simply, if the big wharf where Zhang Qingshan and the others are located is more or less a legitimate businessman, and they are much richer than those on the other side of the river. If you count the bright land, then the small wharf is definitely a dark place. It is the perfect embodiment of the dark side of this society: Porters, prostitutes, smugglers and other low-level people in society, bullying others, oppressing and exploiting, etc., have created a dark world, resulting in various gangs and various forces. Absolutely dark world.

Zhang Qingshan became interested as soon as he heard it: "Lao Luo, how many porters live there?"

"Basically they all live there." Luo Yingjie replied without thinking, "And it's not just the porters, almost all the poor people live there."

"Isn't this place very good and prosperous? Why do you want to live there?"

These words made Luo Yingjie very suspicious whether Zhang Qingshan was born in a poor family, but he didn't dare to ask, so he had no choice but to answer.

"I thought about it carefully, and I think the main reason is that the houses here are expensive, and they simply can't afford to live in them. Take the porters as an example. After a hard day's work, they can only earn food and clothing, but they want to find a house to rent. , then don’t even think about eating. And on the opposite side, it’s a three-way house, and the place is big, so you can build a small shed in any empty place and live there without spending money.” Speaking of this, Luo Yingjie sighed After taking a deep breath, he said: "To put it bluntly, Lao Jiang and the others exploited too much, so that these people who live at the bottom, even if they work hard for a day, can only get enough food and clothing, and they can't even afford a house. Hey~!"

Zhang Qingshan nodded, and after thinking for a while, he said: "You said that the people at the bottom are being exploited very badly, besides Lao Jiang, who else?"

"Many, such as the Chamber of Commerce and various gang forces. The Chamber of Commerce will naturally squeeze the labor force out of its own best interests, and various gangs will follow behind to act as the most direct thugs, and Lao Jiang's army is naturally the largest. Suppressors by force. There used to be people of insight who took the lead in rebelling, but in the end, under the joint suppression of the evil forces from all sides, they were wiped out without forming any forces."

This is quite normal. After all, the Wei Family Wharf has existed for thousands of years. Under prosperity, there must be all kinds of darkness.Where there is oppression, there will be resistance, and there will inevitably be people who will jump out and lead everyone to resist. Then, there will naturally be suppression... To put it bluntly, just want to break this kind of oppression with simple resistance. There is no strict organization and no thought Without an experienced leadership group, and more importantly, without the help of poor people elsewhere, it is simply impossible for them to obtain their own basic power in the face of joint suppression by various forces on their own.To put it bluntly, in terms of the number of people alone, even if they have a few thousand people here, they can't compare with the regular regiment that Lao Jiang put in the county.Therefore, Mao Zedong's proposal that "political power grows out of the barrel of a gun" can be said to hit the nail on the head and is very transparent.

"Which ones have the most people here?"

"The first one must be the porters. After all, if you want to unload the ships that come and go here, you must ask them to carry them. The second one is the fishermen. Boss, the fishermen here are basically locals. Moreover, it not only refers to the fishing boats you see in front of you, but also the people on the merchant ships that come and go, so they are also very powerful. However, the fishermen are local people, and everyone is related, so they should be more united In addition, after some fishermen have made a fortune, they will continue to maintain their identity as fishermen in order to protect themselves. Therefore, they have a certain amount of financial resources. Moreover, they are very fierce and have the support of people from the same clan, so ordinary people do not I dare not provoke them, let alone oppress them. However, in order to suppress the fishermen and make them bigger, many forces will continue to use various means to divide them. Therefore, I said that the fishermen can only say that they can protect themselves, but It is difficult to form a unity, which also caused the Yujia people to divide. For example, Mr. Peng, who we are going to visit now, is one of the leaders of the Yujia people. He is very prestigious in the local area. He came out to judge."

This is normal: although there are more porters than fishermen, many of the porters are not from the local area. In addition, in order to continue to enjoy this piece of fat, others naturally have to divide them, so it is difficult for the porters to have a unified action , not to mention the support of local people elsewhere.However, the fishermen are different. They are locals, and they can easily get the support of relatives and friends in the same village because of their relatives.Therefore, for the porters, you can try your best to oppress them, but for the fishermen, you must give certain preferential treatment and appease them.

Besides, from a personal point of view, they are all from the local area. Can you be sure that none of them are high-ranking officials or relatives who are dominant?If someone is pushed into a hurry and their relatives who are high-ranking officials come forward, it will be ugly when the time comes.It's not worthwhile to have a personal enmity for the sake of public affairs.

"The Wei family wharf has existed for thousands of years, and there are all kinds of chambers of commerce and gangs. Then, as the largest and most porters in the area, they have never thought of forming a trade union to better protect their own interests?"

"Yes! Why not. It's just that all the forces regard the porter as a piece of fat, and they all want to suck blood on it. No one wants to see the porter unite. Therefore, as long as the porter has any organization, they will inevitably Crazy suppression, for this reason, I have seen two or three bloody incidents with my own eyes."

Zhang Qingshan thought for a while, nodded, but glanced at Luo Yingjie with a very complicated look, but did not pursue the question further, but said: "If we find a chance, let's go to the small pier to see and see. "

Luo Yingjie was taken aback, and then persuaded: "Commander, no! Boss, it's really not a good place over there, you can't afford to risk yourself, I think..."

"Lao Luo, you are wrong." Zhang Qingshan glanced around, saw no one, and whispered: "The purpose of our Communist revolution is to save the working people in the world, so that everyone can have enough food and warm clothes. Look, there are still so many poor people living at the bottom of the society who are oppressed by the evil forces, should we just watch like this?"

Being duped by Zhang Qingshan, Luo Yingjie was speechless for a moment. He could only look at Xiang Tao who was beside Zhang Qingshan, hoping he could help persuade him. After all, that place was really dangerous. Although he had a lot of friends, He is not afraid of others, but if there is no important thing, he doesn't want to go - if he is accidentally injured by someone, it will be his own fault, and no one will pay for your medical expenses.

Unexpectedly, Xiang Tao, who was very confident in his martial arts, didn't care about these at all. Instead, he stared at the opposite side with twinkling eyes and anticipation on his face.Seeing his eager attitude, Luo Yingjie knew that not only would this guy not talk to help him persuade Zhang Qingshan, but he might instigate Zhang Qingshan to go there immediately to see and see.

Look at Scud again, this guy is looking down, he doesn't know what to think, and he can't help.

Well, now only Zhou Baoyu is left.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Baoyu was clever, and when he saw Luo Yingjie's eyes, he smiled and said, "Old Luo, don't look at me, I think the elder brother is right. Think about it, our Communist Party is doing revolution for the working people of the world. In other words, the poorer the people in a place, the more we have to rescue them, so since the porters on the opposite side are the most oppressed and poorest here, we should rescue them all the more, right?"

Luo Yingjie looked at him suspiciously. For a moment, he really didn't know what he meant, so he nodded slightly.

When Zhou Baoyu said this, he glanced at Zhang Qingshan and saw that Zhang Qingshan was just looking at the opposite side in a daze, so he said to Luo Yingjie: "Commander Luo, I shouldn't have asked a question. Back then, you mobilized the masses to mobilize During the revolution, why did you forget so many good mobilization targets here?"

Luo Yingjie suddenly realized!

This pair of brothers really cooperated tacitly: Zhang Qingshan asked over and over again about the porters, Zhou Baoyu also talked about things from a big frame, but the final result was Zhou Baoyu's question "Why did you forget these people back then?" gone?"

Fortunately, Luo Yingjie is not stupid. He knows that if Zhang Qingshan directly asks this question, the problem will be much more serious. After all, Zhang Qingshan is the head of the regiment now, and his status and rank are all there. Suspicion of an organized investigation.However, if someone around him asks, the meaning is different. It can have many meanings, but no matter what, it can only be regarded as a private communication between everyone, and it will lack the seriousness of talking to you in an organization. and seriousness.

"Leader, to be honest, I really thought about mobilizing the porters to start a revolution together. However, there are two factors, internal and external, that make me choose to give up temporarily."

"Two factors, internal and external? Tell me."

"Actually, there can only be one main factor. To put it simply, it is 'you need to be hard on yourself'. At that time, whether it was Lao Jiang or the local tyrants and evil gentry, our guerrillas were highly suppressed. They kept sending troops here. We are guerrillas in the future, but our own force is weak, especially the revolutionary situation in these years has been very unfavorable to us. In order to preserve our strength, most of the guerrillas around me were dismissed and went home to hibernate, leaving only a few Ten backbones are by my side, so...and, Commander, it's not that I shirk responsibility, but that the Provincial Party Committee also asked me to hide on the spot and preserve my strength, so I haven't moved here."

Hearing these words, Zhang Qingshan realized that he had thought too much, and his thoughts were too good, so he wrongly blamed Luo Yingjie.

"Old Luo, I blamed you by mistake, don't mind."

"It's okay. Actually, I also know that seeing the poor people here being exploited makes me feel very uncomfortable. I want to lead everyone to make revolution several times. No matter what the result is, it's better than dying. It's just saving money. Comrades from the Committee said, 'We can't just rely on impulsiveness to make revolution, we must have discipline', so I have been enduring it."
