"I am here to thank you all for supporting us." Su Yuan responded,
"We haven't done anything." Some squires said sheepishly.
"You have given us great support." Su Yuan took the opportunity to say, "I have received all the money and materials you donated not long ago."
Only then did everyone understand. Some people who didn't understand earlier could not help but regret and said: "I'm really confused. Really, how could Mr. Su do anything for the Japanese? If I had known, I would have donated more."
"
"It's not too late now." Someone who knew the inside story joked.
This was the best opportunity to publicize the party's anti-Japanese policy. This was what Su Yuan had planned for Chunlei and Baoguo to do today, but when Chunlei saw today's scene, he felt that Su Yuan was the one who said it best, so he sat in another room
Signing to Su Yuan on a table.
Su Yuan stood up and said: "Yes, we need more support from everyone in the future. Our Eighth Route Army's anti-Japanese program is to unite some anti-Japanese people to unite to resist Japan. I hope everyone can contribute money and efforts. From now on, we will no matter the gentry or the common people.
United together, we must establish a democratic coalition government and carry out rent and interest reductions..."
After all, Su Yuan had never done any work in this area. What he said was a bit direct. The landlords and squires who didn't understand the policy for a while became a little silent.
Grandpa stood up and said: "Folks, what is the most important thing for us now? Fighting the Japanese, think about it. How can the eggs be destroyed if the nest is overturned? Now the country is in danger. How can the country be safe if the generals cannot protect the family? The Japanese pirates are brutal for all to see.
, instead of the Japanese coming and plundering our property, why not donate it to the anti-Japanese troops."
His words were recognized by some enlightened squires, but some others seemed a little worried. Chunlei saw that Su Yuan's expression was not clear, which would inevitably cause misunderstandings among some people. He immediately stood up and explained: "Our captain only said
As a general idea, this reduction in rent and interest also includes asking the common people to pay rent and interest."
"Yes, in short, everyone contributed." Su Yuan continued: "Our instructor, Comrade Song Chunlei, will explain to everyone later."
"I will also go and listen to it then." Grandpa said, "Okay, today we are here to celebrate their victory, and everyone will drink."
The development of the situation was something no one expected. First, the news spread rapidly that the guerrillas had wiped out many Japanese and puppet troops. At this time, educated young people from the surrounding and even distant counties came to hear the news, and they all asked to join the guerrillas.
At this time, the guerrillas expanded rapidly. In addition, some local anti-Japanese armed forces also sent people to contact them about the intention of joining forces.
Many people in the team brought by Xiaoyun and Cao Bao asked to stay. They also wanted to join the real anti-Japanese team. Who was willing to bear the name of a bandit? Even Cao Bao expressed his unwillingness to return to the mountain.
The guerrillas quickly expanded to more than 300 people. Su Yuan thought twice about letting Cao Bao lead the brothers back on Feiyun Mountain. This also prevented Gu Feihu from being distracted and prepared for the establishment of a strong rear base in the future.
As for the anti-Japanese propaganda around Ancheng, it went very smoothly. The party's anti-Japanese united front policy was widely publicized, which received widespread support from the people. Although there were some traitors such as Gao Jueming and some stingy landlords, among the common people and even them
After being exposed by the family's singing servant, the guerrillas already knew the details of their family property, which made them reluctant to provide money or goods.
