Chapter 239 Wangjiazhai
Luo Yue asked again: "Where is Wangjia Village?"
Li Zhuangyong said: "Wangjiazhai is 30 miles west of Jiaozhou City. There are about a thousand people in the village. Because the leader of the village is surnamed Wang, most of the residents inside are surnamed Wang, so they are called Wangjiazhai."
Jiang Haidong interrupted, "Battleman Commander, this Wangjia Village is not a good place. The village leader is Wang Zhanyuan. He has three sons and one daughter. None of them are good things. He also raises more than a hundred evil servants and slaves. He harms the countryside and bullies the good, and is a local bully."
It turned out that Jiang Haidong took political classes for several days in the People's Army and really learned something, such as the People's Army is an army that protects the people. All those who oppress the people are enemies of the People's Army. Of course, the landlords and bullies belong to the People's Army. Therefore, Jiang Haidong said so.
Li Zhuangyong gritted his teeth and said, "It's not wrong at all. The family of Wang's surname is not a good thing. This time we attacked Wangjiazhai to eliminate this harm for the local people."
Luo Yue nodded and asked about the situation of Wangjiazhai. There was also the bad things that the Wang family and son had done. Li Zhuangyong could not answer. He only said that he was not a local, but was only developing Boxer members in this area. There were more people participating in the Boxer Rebellion in this area than elsewhere. Many people were persecuted by the Wang family and joined the Boxer Rebellion. Li Zhuangyong knew about Wangjiazhai from these members. Without asking in detail, he decided to attack Wangjiazhai.
After listening to Li Zhuangyong's speech, Luo Yue did not argue, but asked Li Zhuangyong and others about their next plan. Because he received a reminder from Jiang Haidong and had seen the combat effectiveness of the People's Army with his own eyes, Li Zhuangyong immediately expressed that he also wanted to join the People's Army.
Luo Yue did not refuse this, but said that he would report it to his superiors before making a decision. Of course, he could stay in the People's Army during this period.
At this time, Lu Fushan and others had packed up their things, so everyone returned to the People's Army's headquarters together. After returning to the station, Luo Yue immediately reported to the Qingdao Command in detail what happened today, asking the Command to instruct the next action.
Now Qin Zheng and Xiao Jianjun have moved the Shandong Command of the People's Army from Weihaiwei to Qingdao, leaving only one battalion in Weihaiwei, and at the same time, a temporary management committee was established in Qingdao, officially setting up the People's Army's political and administrative core in Shandong in Qingdao.
After receiving Luo Yue's report, Qin Zheng, Xiao Jianjun and Wang Yunpeng immediately began to study. Judging from the information we have obtained now, Wangjiazhai is obviously a landlord and bully force. For such a force, time travelers must naturally resolutely eliminate it. First, eradicating Wangjiazhai can obtain a certain amount of materials, which is of great benefit to time travelers; second, landlords like Wangjiazhai will definitely occupy a large amount of land, so this land can be distributed to local farmers, complete the land revolution, and establish a social system for time travelers; third, through this matter, you can also win the hearts of Shandong farmers, which will help time travelers gain a foothold in Shandong as soon as possible.
However, Wangjiazhai is not a case, but a wide representative. Because Shandong and Tianjin are different, both in terms of area and population are far larger than Tianjin, so the social and economic situation here is much more complicated.
Before the time travelers occupied Tianjin, Tianjin was occupied by the Eight-Nation Alliance and had a large population fled. The old social structure, local forces were almost wiped out by the Eight-Nation Alliance. Therefore, after the time travelers captured Tianjin, they could calmly and easily use very moderate means to establish an administrative system, including the land system, according to their own wishes, and basically will not be interfered or conflicted by the old forces.
Although Shandong has two foreign colonies, Weihaiwei and Qingdao, these two places are only a small part of the entire Shandong province. Moreover, Britain and Germany have forced their leasing Weihaiwei, and there is no large-scale war in Qingdao. The two countries have not operated in Shandong for a long time, so their influence on Shandong is limited, and the old forces in Shandong are basically not affected. Wangjiazhai is a typical local force. Moreover, with the rule of the time travelers in Shandong, they will encounter a large number of such local forces.
Of course, not all local forces are bullies like Wangjiazhai, and there may be good people who are kind and generous in the local area, building bridges and roads, but as a class that gains benefits, they are obviously on the side of the Qing court. Perhaps they will not be loyal to the Qing court, but before the time travelers have gained an absolute advantage, they will not be loyal to the time travelers. It can also be imagined that if the time travelers want to promote their land system in Shandong, they will definitely be strongly opposed by this class. Therefore, how to deal with the relationship with the local forces in Shandong and whether to use violent means to complete the agrarian revolution are all problems that the time travelers will face. A solution must be determined as soon as possible.
Simply put, it is not difficult to destroy a Wangjiazhai, but it is urgent to formulate a plan to promote its own land system and establish an administrative system for time travelers in Shandong. Moreover, this plan is also of guiding significance for time travelers to expand their power to the whole country in the future. So Qin Zheng and others immediately jointly drafted a report and sent it to the Tianjin Provisional Government, asking the Interim Executive Committee to make a resolution.
Xia Bohai and Xu Jichao, who were left behind in Tianjin, did not dare to neglect after receiving this report, because this was a major event that concerns the future development of time travelers.
"Battle down the local tyrants, divide the land" and "promote the land revolution" are easy to say, but if it is really done, it is indeed not that simple. In the old time and space, the predecessors of time travelers basically forced the process through violent means, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the people are rolling.
But compared with the predecessors, the time travelers are all a generation who grew up in a peaceful environment, and do not have the experience of their predecessors living and growing up in the evil old society. Although the time travelers all understand that violent revolution is inevitable in China in this era, it will definitely be a little bit reluctant to implement it. In fact, according to the concepts of the time travelers in the old time and space, the time travelers are actually a group of petty bourgeois people with weak personalities.
Xia Bohai and Xu Jichao first discussed it, and then exchanged opinions with Qin Zheng, Xiao Jianjun and Wang Yunpeng. Finally, they decided to deal with Wangjiazhai as a case study and send troops to capture Wangjiazhai. However, before the action, the situation of Wangjiazhai must be investigated carefully and the investigation results must be handed over to the Fifth Executive Committee for review.
Because the current characterization of Wangjiazhai is mainly through Cheng Shu of Li Zhuangyong and Jiang Haidong, and the authenticity of Cheng Shu has not been determined. From a legal perspective, the testimony of these two people is invalid testimony, and in the confrontation with the People's Army, the other party did fire first, but this could not prove that Wang's father was a local bully. After all, the situation at that time was that the People's Army protected the Boxer Rebellion. From the other party's standpoint, it was reasonable to open the fire first. Therefore, to determine whether Wang's father's behavior really met the standards of bullies, a serious investigation must be conducted. Such an investigation may not necessarily require sufficient evidence, but it must be based on a neutral standpoint.
Qin Zheng and others held talks with the Germans who had arrived in Qingdao as soon as possible. After the negotiations with the Germans were over, the three of them immediately rushed back to Tianjin, and then recruited a meeting of the executive committee, and everyone discussed a result together. During this period, the incident was announced to all time travelers, and all time travelers proposed the proposition "How to promote their own land system in Shandong and establish the administrative system of time travelers." Let all time travelers think together and submit their opinions to the interim executive committee for reference.
After receiving the reply from the Executive Committee, Qin Zheng and Xiao Jianjun were really embarrassed. It should be said that the Executive Committee’s considerations were not unreasonable, because once Wangjiazhai was characterized as a bully, what awaited them would be a disaster of extermination. For time travelers who grew up in modern civilized society, the concept of life above everything has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so they cannot be careless to avoid causing unjust, false and wrong cases. On the other hand, it is also a basic principle for time travelers to future behaviors. Although violent revolution is inevitable in this era, violence must be used with caution.
But the problem facing Qin Zheng and Xiao Jianjun is that although time travelers have absolute technical advantages, the ability to reconnaise and collect intelligence has always been the biggest shortcomings of travelers. In the past, travelers confronted various countries, and collected intelligence mainly relied on breaking detailed telecommunications passwords and using drones for reconnaissance. However, these methods can play a significant role in the confrontation between travelers and countries. However, to collect information from Wangjiazhai, these high-tech means are useless. We must use the most traditional method of makeup reconnaissance, sending people to make up and become ordinary people, and sneaking into Wangjiazhai to collect relevant information.
Although they are all yellow people, due to the differences in the times, the behavior, living habits, concepts and temperaments of time travelers and Chinese people in this era are completely different. Therefore, at least at this stage, time travelers cannot dress up as people of this era and become integrated into society of this era, so naturally they cannot collect useful information. If other soldiers of the People's Army are activated, they can successfully become integrated into society. However, one is that they have not received special reconnaissance training, and the other is that Qin Zheng and Xiao Jianjun are still not very at ease with the people of this era, and they are not yet able to stand alone.
