Crimson Dawn

Chapter 108

Zhang Youliang knew that his time was approaching, so he didn't make any resistance.When the soldiers from the two insurance regiments took him outside the gate, he neither cried nor shouted.The soldiers didn't want to embarrass the old man, and their actions were not rough.Zhang Youliang didn't resist either, letting them lead him to the door.

"Take him on the shoulder." Chen Ke had already descended the watchtower at this time, he ordered.Hua Xiongmao nimbly connected the dislocated arm.Zhang Youliang just moved his arms a little, and then stood straight in front of the crowd.Chen Ke didn't want Hua Xiongmao to pick up Zhang Youliang's dropped jaw.At present, there is far from enough ideological education in the insurance group. If Zhang Youliang shouted "Are you planning to rebel?"Chen Ke was not sure that he could explain clearly to his comrades why he wanted to rebel.

1906 was completely different from 1927. In 1927, the party could mobilize the masses to fight against the Kuomintang without hesitation. That was because the people did not think that the Kuomintang was really the "mandate of fate" for the central government.But in 1906, the people still believed that the Manchu Qing Dynasty was the imperial court.The people dared to happily kill a landlord, but they did not dare to happily fight against the imperial court.Of course, the people actually don't know what's going on with the court at all.In order to avoid trouble, Chen Ke was only going to execute Zhang Youliang, declaring the complete end of the Zhang family's rule in Yue Zhangji.

Chen Ke didn't care about killing a landlord at all in his heart, but many things were not that simple. Since it was necessary to prove that the insurance group had controlled Yue Zhangji, the execution of Zhang Youliang must become a ceremony.

The troops have completely resolved the resistance inside the enclosure, and all the people inside the enclosure have been brought out.There are five or six hundred of these people up and down, which is equivalent to the number of soldiers in the insurance regiment.The dispatch of troops this time was very hasty. The Military Commission was mainly making combat plans, and didn't think too much about how to deal with it after the war.Everyone's general view is to uproot the power of the Zhang family from Yue Zhangji.When they saw the five or six hundred people, everyone felt a little worried.How to do this uprooting?

Chen Ke called the cadres together, and He Zudao took the lead to ask: "Battle Commander, what should we do next?"

"Anmin." Chen Ke said with a smile.

Anmin?This word makes the comrades puzzled. They are about to kill people. No matter how you look at it, they are all "horror people". In any case, they cannot be connected with Anmin.

He Zudao has been with Chen Ke for more than a year, and he knows that Chen Ke sometimes has an unexpected sense of humor, so he keeps silent, so as not to cause trouble for Chen Ke by saying the wrong thing.But Xu Dian, the company commander, asked suspiciously: "Could it be possible to write a safety notice?"

This is what I learned from storytelling.Not to mention how high the literacy rate is in Yuezhangji, the insurance group drove the people to read the notice with knives and guns, which is too outrageous.

"Hmph!" Chai Qingguo snorted coldly, "We are going to kill all the members of the Zhang family. What kind of bullshit is there to write a public notice." Xu Dian once voted to expel Chai Qingguo from the venue in Beijing, and Chai Qingguo held a grudge against it. , when he refuted Xu Dian, he was never polite.

"Kill them all?" Xu Dian was taken aback by Chai Qingguo's statement, "How many people have to be killed?"

"Since we want to occupy this enclosure, don't we just kill all the members of the Zhang family and wait for their revenge later?" Chai Qingguo said in a contemptuous tone.

"Some people have to be killed, but don't kill too many." Hua Xiongmao interrupted, "Just killing the members of the Zhang family is enough. If you can't kill others, it's better to let them survive."

"Of course we have to let them go. Can we get them a boat to send them away?" Chai Qingguo said with a sneer.

"Could it be... is it going to be on the boat..." Xu Dian had read Romance of the Three Kingdoms.When Cao Cao conquered Jingzhou, he named Liu Cong, Liu Biao's son, the governor of Jingzhou, and sent Liu Cong and his mother, Mrs. Cai, to Qingzhou, but secretly ordered Yu Jin to intercept and kill him halfway.

"Hmph!" Chai Qingguo just snorted to express his agreement.

After hearing this, the cadres of the insurance group all had gloomy faces, but Chen Ke felt that if he arranged for them to do this, the comrades would probably agree.

Of course, Chen Ke couldn't make such an arrangement.Seeing that everyone couldn't come up with a solution, Chen Ke finally expressed his thoughts.

"Anmin, the first thing to do is to let the people know where our bottom line is. Who are we going to kill, who are we going to let go, and who are we going to win over? The one who should be killed will not be spared, and the one who should be released will not be implicated. What do you think? ?”

The comrades nodded one after another.

"Let's talk about who we want to release first. In Yuezhangji, all the relatives of our insurance group soldiers, our comrades who are willing to come forward as guarantees, will all be drawn to our side. Now everyone will start talking to the comrades." Chen Commanded.

Chen Ke, as the first secretary of the People's Party these days, relies on his ability to come up with solutions that everyone can accept when facing various problems, and this has established his prestige.Of course, as the initiator and founder of the People's Party, he already has sufficient status.Therefore, comrades generally do not object to Chen Ke's order.After listening to Chen Ke's suggestion, the comrades felt that they could accept it, so they went there one after another.

Among the 600 people dispatched by the insurance group this time, there were more than 80 comrades from Yue Zhangji. They didn't know how the insurance group would deal with these people.Just now, when Chen Ke held a meeting, these comrades from Yuezhangji also began to look at each other. They didn't want their relatives and friends to be treated as enemies.But the discipline of the insurance group was finally established. Although everyone looked at each other, the squad leaders managed the team effectively, and they were not allowed to whisper or talk in tandem.Everyone was in a hurry, and suddenly got an order to pull over someone they thought was reliable.These local comrades from Yuezhangji were immediately happy.They lined up and dragged their relatives and friends out of the crowd one by one.

In this battle, the common people were already terrified, they even thought that bandits had broken through the enclosure.If the battle hadn't been fought so quickly, the common people would have no chance to join the battle group. I'm afraid they would eventually join the battle under Zhang Youliang's organization.When the insurance group brought them all out, they saw many familiar folks and felt relieved.Knowing that the insurance group was only going to beat Zhang Youliang this time, not slaughter Weizi, everyone felt more at ease.

Now seeing dozens of acquaintances of their own starting to pull people over, the people are even more relieved. Anyone who was called was led to the other side obediently.

More than half of the original 600 people were taken away in an instant, and more than 300 people were taken away.There were two hundred and forty fifty remaining.Chen Ke ordered Yilian to take the relatives and friends of these insurance groups to the south of Weizi to settle down.When these people bypassed the enclosure and disappeared behind the wall, Chen Ke ordered the musketeers to surround the remaining people on both sides.

"Wen Qing, are you going to kill all these people?" Xu Dian became anxious when he saw this situation.After the relatives and friends of these members of the insurance group were drawn to the insurance group, facing the rest of the people, the insurance group had a consistent attitude.They are no longer their own.If Chen Ke ordered them to be killed, at least the fighters from Yue Zhangji would not have obvious objections.And taking those people to a distance is obviously to wait for the idlers to clear the field and prepare for the next drastic action.

"There are no youths on the battlefield, only battalion commanders. Commissar Xu, please pay attention to this in the future. We are soldiers, and soldiers should have the discipline of soldiers." Chen Ke immediately warned Xu Dian seriously.

"Chen Battalion Commander, we can't kill people indiscriminately. We need to talk about the law!" Xu Dian was really anxious. He was born in the Law Department of the University of Tokyo, and couldn't help but bring out this law in a hurry.

"I did this to unite the majority and divide the minority. Comrades, you see, as long as we don't kill people indiscriminately, the more than 300 people have already stood by our side. At least they no longer follow Zhang Youliang, right? "Chen Ke laughed.

At this time, the cadres had gathered together again. After hearing this, everyone couldn't figure out what Chen Ke was thinking, but they felt that there was at least some truth in what he said.

"The people we face are made up of many relationships. For them, they have their own standards, whether they are close or distant. We can't make this standard too thin or too thick. Let's talk about it. How to divide it next."

"Separate people from the Zhang family from those who are not from the Zhang family." Chai Qingguo still held the attitude of cutting grass and roots.

"This won't work. Let's separate Zhang Youliang's subordinates from ordinary people." Xu Dian immediately objected, "The people of the Zhang family may not have fought against us, we just want to suppress the enemy. What kind of heroes are you if you kill innocent people randomly?" .”

"Then how do you know who is Zhang Youliang's subordinate and who is not? The siege was broken so quickly this time, many of Zhang Youliang's subordinates were blocked before they had time to go out. Let's ask them now, will they admit it? If they admit it, they will Beheaded! Do you think they are that stupid? Hmm!" Chai Qingguo became more and more angry, and couldn't help but added, "Do you think they are like you?"

"What do you mean!" Xu Dian became angry after hearing this.Chai Qingguo called Xu Dian stupid in disguise.

"Are you discussing a problem? I'm asking everyone how to separate these people. You are not allowed to quarrel now." Chen Ke immediately stopped the dispute between the two of them. "Any comments from the other comrades?"

In fact, the opinions of these two people basically represent everyone's ideas. After hearing what Chen Ke said, the comrades have no other opinions. "Commander, what do you think?" Hua Xiongmao said.

"I still want to see what everyone thinks." Chen Ke didn't want to show his ability anymore.The revolution is not for Chen Ke to conquer the world alone. What is needed now is to tap the abilities of comrades as soon as possible.So he hopes that someone can have the courage to take responsibility.

"Report to the Battalion Commander, I have something to say." Kuroshima Jinichiro applied in his increasingly proficient Chinese.Although Kuroshima's nationality is becoming less and less distinguishable in speech, as a Japanese, Kuroshima is still very well behaved.

"You can speak now!" Chen Ke said.

"We will divide them according to the label of the enemy and the outsider." Hei Dao said politely.

"Why such a division?" Chen Ke asked.Although he was still commanding, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

Kuroshima Renichiro stood upright according to the requirements of the military posture, and he looked like a soldier. With his eyes level, he said calmly: "Now we have to come up with a reason to separate these people, so that the number of our enemies will increase. The fewer people there are, the more isolated they are. The locals will never take the life and death of outsiders seriously. If we adopt this method, the resistance we will receive will be much smaller.”

"What do you think?" Chen Ke asked.

The other comrades all suddenly realized that this division method is really reasonable.Comrades agreed.

Chen Ke waved his hand to everyone, "It's not enough to do this. It's definitely not enough. Think about it, these people now think that they will be dealt with by us. Especially those hired from other places, we have already taken away a group My own people, if they are separated now, they must think that we are going to take them. What if they rise up and resist immediately?"

This is not a joke, comrades also find it quite tricky.

"We are going to divide them now. To divide, that is to say, the last ones are our enemies. So now we have to divide them according to the method of locals and foreigners, but we have to guide the thinking of these people. If you say It is natural that the locals do not care about the life and death of the outsiders. At the same time, it is also natural that the outsiders have no reason to risk their lives for the locals. Then let me ask, who is our enemy this time?"

"It's Zhang Youliang, the local landlord." Hua Xiongmao said.

"Yes, so we have to tell these people that we are going to beat Zhang Youliang, and it has nothing to do with outsiders. They came out to us, Zhang Youliang has been arrested, and they don't need to work for Zhang Youliang now. All these outsiders just need to stay out of it, There are even fewer people left. What do you think?"

Now the comrades suddenly realized something.So Hua Xiongmao, an "outsider", went to speak out in person, and soldiers from Yue Zhangji helped to screen and maintain order.

I heard Hua Xiongmao shout: "Heroes from other places, you are giving your life to Zhang Youliang. Now Zhang Youliang has been arrested. You won't get any money. I know you are just taking money from other people to eliminate disasters for others. Now that things have come to this point, although you are heroes who value friendship, you have to think about it for yourself." The thugs who came from other places immediately lost their fighting spirit.

"We are only here to fight Zhang Youliang this time, not to ask us to trouble you, you all come out, we will not kill prisoners." Hua Xiongmao shouted, asking the local soldiers to point out the outsiders, and then ignore them Whether you like it or not, you can pull it out.One by one, they tied their left arms with long ropes, and led them to the lake under the escort of a team of musketeers.These people have seven NO.80, after this screening.There are only 60 or [-] people left in Yuezhangji.

Neither screening met with real resistance, and the number of potential enemies has been reduced to a quarter of its original number.The insurance group faces a similar number of people as its own, and the ratio of the number of people is one to one.Except for the two pairs of people who were separated from the guards, the people who stayed in place have now become the insurance group, occupying an absolute advantage with a ratio of three to one.

Chen Ke watched the troops tightly surround these people. The soldiers looked stern, and their hands holding weapons were even stronger.Somehow, there was a tension in the scene.

The local people surrounded in the middle also felt this strange atmosphere, and they got closer together. Under such pressure, some people began to cry softly.
