Sanjiaji is located two miles east of the Liubao stronghold, which was an important stronghold for the Japanese army on the Handan-Changchun Highway, and Sanjiaji is an important goods trading place.
It used to belong to Wu'an, but later Si Neiyong and Zhou Weihan took over the Liubao stronghold, so the Liubao stronghold was included in Wuyi's control area.
In short, the garrison and the Japanese troops in the Liubao stronghold are now neighbors. There are many shops in Sanjiaji. Not only the Japanese soldiers in the Liubao stronghold, but also the surrounding Japanese troops come to Sanjiaji from time to time to have a meal.
These little devils are rich, follow the rules, and are very popular with shop owners.
The north side of Sanjiaji is surrounded by mountains, so Zhou Weihan and his party had to go around from the east side. At this time, Li Daben personally led people out of the exit checkpoint on the east side, specially waiting for the arrival of Zhou Weihan and his party.
I saw Li Daben covering his forehead with one hand and his eyes looking wildly into the distance.
The sweet potato on the side was observing with a telescope: "Sure, you can't see as far as a telescope with your eyes!"
"What do you know? I am clairvoyant. I can clearly see every plant and tree within a ten-mile radius!" Li Da opened his mouth and looked serious.
Digua knew all about Li Da's bragging skills and couldn't help but curled his lips: "It's quick!"
"It's coming, it's coming, hurry up, tell the people inside to get ready!" Li Daben said and rushed out.
I saw Zhou Weihan and his entourage riding horses, and they were right in front of me as they were talking.
"Detachment leader, I didn't expect you to come in person!" Li Daben stepped forward and saluted with a military salute.
"You have already sent out an invitation, and you also said that the fellow villagers have organized a farewell party. Can I not come?" Zhou Weihan said quietly.
"Oh, this must be the political commissar of our garrison regiment. More than a thousand people in our regiment have finally come to see the political commissar!"
"Political Commissar, my name is Li Daben, you can just call me Ben, welcome, welcome!" Li Daben stepped in front of Roger, but ignored Zhou Weihan.
Although Roger had already known Li Da's easygoing character before, he was still a little stunned when they met. Then he stretched out his hand and said: "Captain, my name is Roger. From now on, we will eat from the same spoon."
Comrade, please give me your advice on work matters!"
Mr. Li held Roger's hand tightly and said happily: "Easy to say, easy to say, detachment leader, let's invite him in!"
Zhou Weihan led the way, followed by Roger, Monk and others.
The sweet potato on the side came close to Li Daben's side: "Ben, didn't you say that you are a tough guy? I think he is quite kind and reasonable!"
"You know nothing, I'll have a good life with you in the future!" Li Dafeng said mysteriously.
Some things cannot be hidden in the independent detachment. Although Zhou Weihan did not inform in advance that he would bring the political commissar, he did not intend to hide it intentionally. Therefore, Li Da knew about this matter through the group.
For the new political commissar, the details have already been figured out.
At this time, Li Daben was also worried about gains and losses. On the one hand, he was used to being in charge of the family alone, and he was afraid of not being able to get along with him when a political commissar came. On the other hand, he really wanted this political commissar to kill the soldiers.
"Stop talking, hurry up and follow!" Li Dabao called to Di Gua and quickly followed Zhou Weihan and his group in front.
After passing the checkpoint, Li Daben led everyone to walk west for two or three miles, and then headed north.
"Captain of the detachment, the north of our station is surrounded by three families. There are relatively fewer people and it is more hidden and safer!"
This was Zhou Weihan's first time visiting the garrison station, and he had just approached the station.
A burst of chaotic sounds was heard, and a large crowd of people gathered around him.
There were people playing suona, playing erhu, beating gongs, and drums, and there were also dedicated people holding banners.
It says welcome to the head of the Eighth Route Army and the new political commissar.
"Did you do it?"
"It's the folks who want to welcome you!"
"Do you think I'm living too peacefully? The kid paid a huge sum of money for my head, and you still have to publicize it in a big way?" Zhou Weihan said dissatisfied.
"Detachment leader, this is what the folks mean. I can't refuse your kindness!"
"Those who knew were welcoming us, but those who didn't knew thought they were sending me away!"
Li Daben laughed dryly after hearing this: "Detachment leader, please, everyone is waiting!"
...
"Welcome, welcome comrades of the Eighth Route Army!"
A group of people dressed as women came over, at least thirty or fifty people.
Zhou Weihan glanced at Mr. Li, who immediately understood and said in a low voice: "Captain of the detachment, the leader is the Bai family from Wuyi, the speaker is Bai Chengfeng, and the rest are all prominent local figures.
, they support us openly and secretly."
He stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling person, and showed his face. Zhou Weihan greeted him warmly: "Fellow folks, thank you for your support of the Eighth Route Army!"
"Comrade, wherever you are, your Eighth Route Army has kept us safe. The people in Wuyi and Wu'an can live and work in peace and contentment. It's all thanks to the Eighth Route Army. Don't you think so?"
Bai Chengfeng greeted him, and the others responded one after another. He was obviously very influential among them.
Originally, in Wuyi and Wu'an, there was a saying of Beibai and Nanliu. Bai was the Bai family of Wuyi, and Liu was the Liu family of Wu'an.
But later, the Liu family, which was a group of three families, was taken over by the new second group. After that, the Bai family came to them on their own initiative, donating money and food.
Regardless of whether the Bai family was really fighting against the Japanese or it was taken at the front of the New Second Regiment, the Bai family has been very cooperative with the work of the New Second Regiment since then.
Not only did he take the initiative to allocate part of his land to his own tenants, but he also reduced rents and interest rates, and was regarded as a model in the two counties.
Later, the New Second Regiment gradually grew and confiscated the property of many traitors, puppet soldiers, and those who secretly worked for the Japanese.
After allocating fields to local people, most places have leftover fields.
It was difficult for the New Second Regiment to take it back to himself. At this time, Li Da came up with a good way to exchange land with an enlightened party like the Bai family.
The replaced land was distributed to the landless people around the Bai family, and the Bai family was allocated an enclave, which was equivalent to having a farm elsewhere.
The Bai family actively responded to this policy, and at the same time used their personal connections to call on many people to solve the problem of excess land in the New Second Regiment.
Later, in view of the positive performance of the Bai family, Li Dabao proposed to share part of the profits of the business company with enlightened people like the Bai family.
Enlightened people like the Bai family collected goods locally and sold them to Xin Er Tuan Trading Company, which sold them to other places. Some of the supplies shipped back from other places were given to the Bai family for sale.
In this way, both parties will benefit, and this benefit will be much greater than the income from the fields.
At this point, enlightened people like the Xiang Bai family are firmly tied to the tanks of the Eighth Route Army. This is also a disguised united front.
