For the propaganda team, the most reluctant target to work with is the clan.
Why do you say that?
Because of several characteristics of the clan, it is destined to be very difficult to solve.
One is to stick together. They have the same direct ancestor and are connected by the same spirit. Even if there are internal contradictions of one kind or another, once they face external threats, they will all be united in facing the outside world. They are extremely united and it is impossible to divide and disintegrate.
The second is that there are no landlords, because there are no conditions for the formation of a landlord class within the clan, because people in the same village are all blood relatives, and there is a tradition of helping each other for hundreds of thousands of years. If a family encounters difficulties, others will help, adding insult to injury.
In rare cases, they may be scorned or even expelled from the clan.
The third is the clan land system. Although there are no landlords in this type of clan village, there will be dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of acres of clan land, which is used to support orphans and widows, help the poor and the weak, and reward those who can read.
Young students who are motivated will continuously cultivate talents who are useful to the country and can also support the family in the future.
The above characteristics gave the clan extremely strong vitality in feudal society, and even gave birth to a family like the Fan Zhongyan family, which has produced 80 top scholars and 400 Jinshi, and has been prosperous for more than 800 years without ever weakening.
Achieved true longevity.
In the modern history of modern society, in an area controlled by a certain clan in Fujian, not only the Guo Party was unable to enter, but even the Tu Party was unable to establish rule, because the clan's ruling order, at least internally, was considered very stable and fair.
, there are also upward channels for those who are motivated, and the mechanism is very healthy.
And because of the existence of clans, no matter what dynasty it is at the end of the dynasty, even if the landlords and gentry annex all the land of the lower class people, the proportion of land occupied by this class will hardly exceed 50%, at most 60%, and it is impossible to reach 80%.
%, 90% of the time, the landowners and gentry cannot eat the piece of cake that belongs to the clan.
Therefore, in ancient feudal society, clans could also play the role of stabilizers. Especially in places with many clans, such as Jiangnan, Fujian, and Guangdong and Guangxi, they were very stable most of the time, and major disturbances rarely occurred.
In the north, there are fewer clans, many surnames live together, and they cannot reproduce stably for a long time. The place has been conquered and ravaged by foreign races many times, and chaos often breaks out. It is the most turbulent region in China's thousands of years of history, and the war period is even longer than
period of peace.
That's too far.
And faced with the difficulties facing the 101st Propaganda Task Force.
what to do?
How can we deal with the Xiang family in Jiangdong Town?
Everyone first used some traditional old methods.
For example, loudspeakers were used to repeatedly promote the benefits of joining a collective estate.
Post promotional slogans.
A mobile stage was set up for people to perform some programs, including a chorus of "Harvest Song", a slide show showing the progress and prosperity of Xujiazhuang, and cross talk, sketches and other programs. They were all very exciting and unique, and they really attracted some audiences.
It had a certain effect.
but……
There were only twenty or thirty young people, as well as more than a hundred greedy kids who came here just for milk candies and snacks. They had a strong yearning for Xujiazhuang and clamored to join Xujiazhuang.
But after returning home and being severely beaten by their parents and elders, except for a few who persisted, most of them no longer dared to say anything about joining Xujiazhuang.
And as a result of the ban, fewer and fewer people came to watch the show.
The old methods have proven ineffective.
Everyone had to get together and hold more than a dozen meetings, racking their brains and unable to come up with a better solution.
"How about we change places? This kind of clan is too difficult for us to win." Some people had the idea of fearing the difficulties and giving up.
"Can't give up like this!"
Yuan Ying stood up and said: "Jiangdong Town is not the only clan village. The nearby Wang Village, Da'an Town, Chenjia Village, and Songjia Town are also clan forces, and they are not necessarily easier to handle than Jiangdong Town. If we retreat here
It may not work well in other villages, so giving up is the next best option!"
"The clan water can't be poured in, and needles can't penetrate. What's your best idea?" Captain Wang Kangping looked at him and asked.
"I have no idea, but we can send a telegram and ask the headquarters. It can be said that we ask the owner of the village. With the wisdom of the staff at the headquarters and the wisdom of the owner, how can we not come up with a good solution?" Yuan Ying
said.
"It makes sense. Let's ask the headquarters. Someone will always be able to come up with a solution." Luan Xiangdong agreed.
"Okay, let's send a telegram to the headquarters!" Captain Wang Kangping said. In fact, he didn't want to trouble the headquarters. It would also show that he was quite incompetent, but the problem was indeed too difficult for him to solve.
A telegram of inquiry was sent to the headquarters.
Soon, without waiting long, they received a reply telegram, which was written by the owner of the village himself. The specific content was:
"The reason why the clan is strong is that it can provide a basic guarantee for the clan members. It is not difficult to defeat the stability of the clan, as long as we provide a stronger guarantee."
"There are many talents in your work team, including doctors, sergeants, craftsmen, chefs, artists, and talents from all walks of life. As long as you give full play to the talents of each of you, you will be an invincible team.
team."
"For example, the doctors in the team can provide free clinics to the people in the town, cure one or two tuberculosis patients, use forceps to help pregnant women with difficult labor give birth, vaccinate young children with smallpox vaccines, etc., as long as they are done well
With these three things, this town cannot live without our doctors and will only treat our doctors as miracle doctors."
"For example, the craftsmen in the team can use the materials provided by Xujiazhuang to help the people in the town dig a few pressurized water wells to solve the town's water problem and save them the trouble of carrying water every day. Even if the townspeople don't thank them in person,
You won’t say so many bad things behind your back.”
"There is also a chef in the team. He can cook one or two hundred more meals every day, package them, and then feed them to the elderly, orphans and poor families in the town who have no one to take care of them. The meals must be delicious and have oil and water.
, provide fish and meat, help solve the food problem of the orphans and poor people in this town, and donate some clothes to them. Once they get used to the delicious meals prepared by our chefs, it will be a bit difficult to leave. "
"In addition, even if a team member has no special skills, as long as he has a lot of strength, he can take the initiative to help the townspeople carry water, sweep the floor, chop wood, help take care of the children, look after the elderly, and provide food to poor families every now and then.
Order rice, flour, grain and oil, etc., take away all the work done by the clan, and do it better. Over time, even the hard-hearted will melt! Even if there will be a very small number of white-eyed wolves, most people will definitely
Those who are grateful must believe in the people."
"Of course, the most critical and important thing is dependence. We must make them depend on us to the extent that they can't live without us. We must make them willing to embrace a new life and not want to return to the old one.
, only in this way, in as little as three months or as long as half a year, we will definitely be able to capture Jiangdong Town!"
After reading the contents of this reply telegram.
The eyes of everyone in the work team lit up.
Found a way.
Found a way to solve the problem.
There are even specific methods and ideas. If they don't understand it, it's their own problem.
So I started from the next day.
The work team that changed the action plan was divided into five functional groups and entered Jiangdong Town to start work.
The first one is the medical team, which has ten people and provides free medical services such as tuberculosis treatment, maternal delivery, and smallpox vaccination.
The second one is a well-drilling team, with twenty people, dedicated to helping townspeople who are seriously short of water dig a hand-pressured well to solve the water problem in their homes.
The third one is the cooking group, which has twenty people. It prepares 400 meals at noon every day. In addition to eating 100 meals for itself, it also helps 300 townspeople.
The fourth is the help group, which has thirty people and is divided into three small teams to provide help to families in need, such as repairing roofs, fetching water and cutting firewood, donating some rice, flour, oil, salt and old clothes, etc.
Will help with any work.
The fifth is the security team, which has twenty people. Each of them is equipped with an electric breech-loading gun. They provide security services to the residents of the town, such as catching thieves, patrolling at night, hunting wild boars and wild animals, etc. They have important security tasks.
Leave it all to them, so the townspeople can sleep peacefully without fearing the threat of criminals, and provide the townspeople with a safe and sound living environment - of course, the security team also has the purpose of protecting their own people.
And these five groups were established and entered Jiangdong Town one after another.
Next month.
For the thousands of residents of Jiangdong Town, their mood is undoubtedly very complicated, and a series of changes have taken place.
At first there was wariness and rejection, as well as indifference and rejection.
However, Xiang Ding'an, who had been suffering from tuberculosis for eight years in Wufang and was deemed not to survive until the age of 18, was miraculously cured by the medical team in just seven days, causing a sensation throughout Jiangdong Town.
Immediately afterwards, Xiang Ziru's wife, who was married to a third wife, had a dystocia. She couldn't come out of the baby all day and night after giving birth. She was dying. When everyone thought that both adults and children could not be saved, the medical team took action again. Not only did they use forceps to extract a boy,
The mother was also rescued through blood transfusion, and both mother and child were saved! This caused a sensation in the entire Jiangdong Town.
Because there were successful examples of smallpox prevention in other places to prove it, the smallpox vaccination was also very smooth, and more than 800 children were vaccinated.
In addition, the well-drilling team also drilled more than 30 hand-pressed wells for more than 30 households at the rate of one well per day, solving the water problem of these households. At least hundreds of nearby households followed.
Benefit.
As for the cooking group and the helping group, they have helped even more people, and the people in the town have all received more or less help.
The security team was also very effective, successfully arresting 13 criminals, solving seven cases, and killing eight wild boars, making a great contribution to the security of the town.
As a result, a considerable number of townspeople began to waver, believing that joining Xujiazhuang was not necessarily a bad thing and that they could enjoy many benefits.
The clan leader and elders were very angry and annoyed, and vowed to drive out the Xujiazhuang work team!
