Anti-Japanese War: Developing on my own, I brought back a US-equipped division

Not bad!

Very good, he is a regular member who can help the Tiger Guards.

support?

It’s impossible to support!

The faces of the gentry, landlords and local tyrants present were all very ugly.

Although they knew that Su Zheng had gathered them in Dehong Building for no good purpose this time, they thought that at most they would have to donate some money to ward off disaster, but they did not expect that now they would be asked for the land in their hands, which would really be the end of their lives.

anger!

Quite angry!

The local gentry and landlords present all looked at Dongfang Wenyin with hatred, as if they wished they could eat Dongfang Wenyin up.

Dongfang Wenyin naturally understood why everyone reacted like that.

Land reform has severely impacted the interests of these landlords and gentry, so there will definitely be great resistance to its implementation.

But this must also be done.

Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it!

If the Tiger Guards want to develop rapidly and in the long run, they must gain the support of the masses.

The mass base is very important.

The Tiger Guards were able to develop so rapidly and expand so quickly in just half a year, all because of the support of the masses.

As a time traveler, Su Zheng knows better how the tide of history will choose. He must gain the support of the general public. Only then will it be in the interests of the majority of people, and only then can the Tiger Guards develop rapidly.

After hearing the land reform policy, the gentry and landlords present were shocked and looked at each other with anger.

Among this group of gentry, landlords and local tyrants, there was a middle-aged man with a flat head and wearing a black gown.

His name is Qian Bin.

Qian Bin was considered a relatively prominent local squire in Ping'an County. He was highly respected and had great influence. He was the president of the Ping'an County Chamber of Commerce and also the president of the Maintenance Association during the Japanese occupation.

Chamber of Commerce...this is easy to understand, it is an organization composed of businessmen.

As for the Maintenance Association, it is a traitor organization established by the Japanese devils.

The Maintenance Association was a temporary local puppet organization established by the Japanese in their occupied areas to help them invade China and abet their atrocities.

In the Japanese-occupied areas, the role of the Maintenance Association was to raise money, food, laborers, etc. for the Japanese invaders. It was also an intelligence agency that reported the activities, intelligence and other information of the anti-Japanese troops to the Japanese invaders.

During the period when Ping'an County was ruled by the Japanese, Qian Bin was elected chairman of the Maintenance Association.

Therefore, Qian Bin is considered to be the most influential, highest-ranking and most powerful gentry landlord among the local tyrants in Ping'an County.

Qian Bin took a step forward, looked at Dongfang Wenyin and said, "Comrade Zhengwei? I think you should know... these lands and fields were left by our ancestors. Why do you, the Eighth Route Army, want to confiscate our lands and fields right away?"

"I know that you, the Eighth Route Army, are relatively poor and have a hard time. If you need money, we can provide financial assistance."

"But now you want our land and farmland, which is like wanting our life!"

As soon as Qian Bin finished speaking, other local gentry, landlords and others all echoed him with angry expressions.

"President Qian is right. These fields were passed down from our ancestors. It is impossible for them to be confiscated just because of a few words from you. We will not accept this!"

"That's right, it's impossible... We will never give these fields to you."

"Ping'an County was ruled by both the Nationalist government and the Japanese invaders, but they never said they wanted to take our land. Why do you, the Eighth Route Army, have the right to do so?"

"I object! My Huang family firmly opposes! If you want land, you must have a life."

"Support Chairman Qian... If you, the Eighth Route Army, want to raise military funds, just tell us directly. We will definitely do our best to donate and support you, but if you want our land, there is no way."

"It took our ancestors so long to accumulate these fields. Now you, the Eighth Route Army, are coming and want to take away our land. We won't do that... We firmly oppose it!"

"Robbery, you Eighth Route Army soldiers are robbing... I know that you Tiger Guards are determined to fight the Japanese, but we firmly oppose your policy of robbery!"

............

The local gentry and wealthy people present were very angry and glared at Dongfang Wenyin.

There was an uproar.

He looked very excited.

Seeing everyone's big reaction, Dongfang Wenyin said slowly: "Everyone, don't be so excited! Be quiet!"

"Land reform is a policy of our Eighth Route Army. We need to allow more people to have land so that we can develop better!"

"Indeed, it is not easy for your ancestors to accumulate so much land... So in order to promote land reform, our Tiger Guards will use part of the military funds to redeem the land in your hands!"

"Of course...Now is a time of chaos, the funds for the redemption policy won't be much, which means the price for redeeming the land in your hands won't be very high!"

“So, I hope that the local gentry and landlords present here can understand us and support our work!”

Be polite before fighting.

This is Dongfang Wenyin’s style of doing things.

Su Zheng stood aside quietly watching Dongfang Wenyin and the local gentry, landlords, and others present.

I have to say that Dongfang Wenyin's way of doing things is very similar to Su Zheng's.

Not bad!

Dongfang Wenyin is a talented person.

A rare talent.

It can effectively assist the development and expansion of the Tiger Guards.

If the land reform can be implemented this time, it means that the Tiger Guards and the Eighth Route Army can get more support from the common people and the masses, and their mass base will be more extensive and solid... At the same time, this will also be beneficial to the development of the Tiger Guards.

The secret to the rapid development of the Tiger Guards is its mass base.

This is no secret, the secret is that even the boss was shocked.

Qian Bin said angrily, "Support your land reform work? That's impossible!"

"Don't say your offer is not high. No matter how much money you offer, we won't sell the land to you! You better stick together!"

"They say that your Eighth Route Army is a force for the common people, but now you're forcing us to buy and sell. What's going on?"

As soon as Qian Bin said this, everyone else echoed him again.

The reaction was violent.

"Yes, President Qian is right... We will never sell the land we have. This is our ancestral property."

"What President Qian said is what we want to say... We will not sell these ancestral properties, and we will never force a sale."

"Captain Su, we are here for your sake, but now you are planning a Hongmen Banquet? You want our land? Impossible!"

"I don't care if you are the real commissioner or not... even if the king of heaven comes, he can't take the land from me!"

"Everyone...we should unite and resist this unreasonable forced sale."

"The land we have now was passed down from our ancestors. Do you want to buy it with some money? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

"I think we should just go our separate ways... There's not much point in continuing like this."

"Captain Su, we have only one thing to say. We will never sell the land we have. If you need military expenses, we can raise some!"

............

The local gentry and landlords present were very dissatisfied and were unwilling to give up their ancestral land.

However, the land reform of the Huben Regiment must continue, because it is the basis for the development and expansion of the Huben Regiment.

Su Zheng just wanted to see how Dongfang Wenyin would handle it next...

PS: The following plot will be very exciting. I beg for an automatic subscription to break 60. Thank you.

Chapter 511 Worthy of being the second in command of the Tiger Guards! Su Zheng was shocked, like a tiger with wings! (The third update, please subscribe)

Looking at the land reform policy proposed by Dongfang Wenyin, the gentry and landlords present finally reacted...this was a Hongmen Banquet.

The Hongmen Banquet was specially designed for them.

But now it is impossible to leave.

However, the intentions of these local gentry and tyrants are also very clear, that is, they are preparing to unite to fight against the Tiger Guards.

Support land reform?

impossible!

Hand over the land in your hands?

Impossible!

They all centered around Qian Bin to fight against the land reform policy of the Tiger Guards.

Qian Bin glanced at Dongfang Wenyin, then his eyes fell on Su Zheng, and said: "Captain Su, we have given you enough face, and I hope your group will also consider our situation!"

"I repeat again, we will not sell the land we have!"

"Captain Su, we have something to do... we're leaving first!"

Having said that, Qian Bin led everyone away in a swagger.

In their view, they were all gentry and landlords in Ping'an County, and their status was extraordinary.

After all, in the previous feudal society, the Nationalist government period and the Japanese occupation period, the rulers who governed Ping'an County needed their cooperation and help.

So they naturally thought that if the Eighth Route Army wanted to take control of Ping'an County, it would also need the assistance of these gentry and landlords.

The Tiger Guards did not dare to do anything to them.

On the other hand, Qian Bin didn't believe that Su Zheng or the Tiger Guards would kill them all.

All the people present were prominent local gentry and landlords in Ping'an County. The law does not punish everyone... We can't kill them all, right?

The law does not punish the masses simply means that if there are too many people breaking the law, it will be difficult for the law to punish such behavior.

This is a trend that originated from the Fengjian society period.

During the feudal society, the minority ruled the majority, so the laws made by the ruling class only protected the interests of the minority. This made the people very angry and collective law-breaking often occurred.

There are more people breaking the law.

Then it would be easy for the government and the people to clash and even riot.

However, if these collective illegal acts are not dealt with, the ruling class will feel very embarrassed.

Therefore, the feudal ruling class came up with a saying that the law should not be used to hold everyone responsible, which was also a way for them to save face.

Although we are now in a democratic society, the feudal society lasted for more than two thousand years, and the idea that the law does not hold everyone responsible is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people...so these gentry and landlords have become fearless.

Wow...

Qian Bin prepared to leave with everyone.

None of them took Dongfang Wenyin seriously.

These local gentry and landlords want to leave?

But now that we are here, how can we leave so easily?

Be polite before fighting.

Since etiquette is useless, the only option is to use military force.

Dongfang Wenyin once again pulled out his service gun, slammed it on the table, and said in a cold voice: "If you walk out of this door...you will bear the consequences at your own risk!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the local gentry who were about to leave stopped in their tracks, looked a little frightened, looked at Dongfang Wenyin, and then at Qian Bin.

Qian Bin felt everyone's gaze, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Dongfang Zhengwei, right? We are leaving here today, and you have no right to interfere with our personal freedom!"

Dongfang Wenyin's face darkened as well, and he gave an order in a loud voice: "Come here, seal off Dehong Building. No one can be let out without my order, or they will be shot on the spot!"

The voice fell.

Crashing...

The fully armed soldiers with live ammunition who had been prepared long ago surrounded Dehong Building and were on high alert, determined not to let any gentry, landlord or local tyrant leave Dehong Building.

Looking at the black guns on the Tiger Guards soldiers, these gentry, landlords and local tyrants were instantly panicked.
