Chapter 774 Zhuo's Landlord

Chapter 774 Zhuo Landlord

After the battle at Yinji, the 1st Regiment of the Teachmen fought towards Lingbi City, and the 2nd Regiment of the Teachmen divided into two groups, one heading eastward by boat and the other heading eastward along the highway, fighting towards Si County in a mighty manner.

The remaining Japanese and puppet troops at Huigou stronghold and Dalu stronghold were still kept in the dark. They did not know that their doom had come until the Eighth Route Army arrived.

At this time, in Gaoyuan, Cheng Cuilin personally led the New 1st Brigade, the 2nd Regiment, and the 3rd Regiment to attack Gaolou and Zhuowu. Zhou Yi, Chief of Staff of the 1st Teaching Brigade, commanded the 1st Teaching Brigade Cavalry Battalion, 1 Battalion of the Artillery Regiment, 1st Armored Regiment and

The new regiment went towards Tokimura's stronghold and eliminated Tokimura's puppet army Hu Zepu's troops.

On the plateau, the reason why Cheng Cuilin personally led two regiments to attack the Gaolou area at the junction of Suining and Lingbi was because there were the famous Gaolou landowners and Zhuowei landowners, and the granaries were filled with grain.

The great landowner of Zhuowu, the Zhuo family, has dominated the area for more than a hundred years from the Qing Dynasty to the present. At its peak, it controlled more than 20 large and small market towns, more than 100 villages, and Lingbi across the two provinces of Jiangsu and Anhui.

, Si County and Suining County, with a square garden of more than 100 miles, occupying more than 77,000 acres of land, and more than 1,300 houses in Zhuowei alone. In summer and autumn every year, a land rent of 3,000 yuan is collected.

Forty thousand stones were used to fill seven to eighty granaries.

The great landowner Zhuowei made his fortune because he took the path of combining power and land. During the Daoguang period, the great landowner Zhuowei gave birth to a powerful figure, namely Zhuo Tingmao. This man was very scheming and encouraged his nephews to study. One of his

The nephew's name is Zhuo Zhenqing, and he has really lived up to his expectations. He is a successful scholar. He has served as county magistrate and prefecture magistrate in Hanchuan, Hanyang, Xingguo, Guangji, Wengyuan, Jieyang and other places. He also served as a murderer.

Beheading officials for professional imperial eunuchs. In this way, his nephew worked as an official outside and made money while also providing a protective umbrella for his family. Zhuo Tingmao relied on his nephew's power to plunder his hometown and amass land.

.Not to mention this, Zhuo Tingmao's family had a great business, and out of consideration for protecting his family and life, he began to organize group training, and appointed his son Zhuo Zhenwu as the local training director, and since then he has mastered a landlord's armed force.

After the Taiping Rebellion broke out, the Zhuo family built a dike and defended it. The Zhuo family's landlord armed forces assisted the government in fighting the Taiping Army and the Nian Army, suppressed the peasant uprising armed forces, and withstood actual combat training.

At this time, the leading figure among the Zhuo family landlords was Zhuo Laoyan, the grandson of Zhuo Tingmao. In order to protect his own property, this old man ignored national justice and fell into the arms of the Japanese and puppets.

Director of the Joint Security Council. His nephews Zhuo Shaoquan, Zhuo Peijun is the pseudo district chief, Zhuo Jishi is the pseudo town mayor, and they are full of traitors.

After so many years of operation, the Zhuo family's landowners and armed forces built a wooden city and a deer village in Zhuowu. They dug a trench more than two feet wide and more than two feet deep, and built nine solid blockhouses and fifteen bunkers, forming a solid fortress.

defense system.

The common people called the bunker built by the Zhuo family's landowners the "Diguigui".

Historically, our army launched the battle to attack Zhuowu on the night of May 9, 1945, and fought fiercely until the night of the 10th before rushing into the town, wiping out the stubborn Japanese troops in the town and fighting against the Zhuo family landlords.

. However, during the War of Liberation, Zhuo Laotie, the Zhuo family landlord who was on the run, and Zhuo Daimin organized a return regiment and a black killing team. Taking advantage of the opportunity of our army's withdrawal from Zhuowei, they returned to their hometown to carry out counterattacks. They only shot dead and buried cadres alive.

Up to 13 people. It was not until the end of the Huaihai Campaign and the complete liberation of Zhuowei that the Zhuo landlords were suppressed.

That morning, Zhuo Laoyan, the director of the Puppet Shibawei Joint Security Bureau and an old landlord, was wearing purple Hangzhou silk trousers. He was sitting on the Taishi chair and listened to the accountant's report on the rent collection this summer.

Mr. Accountant was a thin old man with a pair of stone mirrors on his face, holding a thick account book. He stood in front of Zhuo Laoyan and was giving a detailed report.

According to the accountant's report, this year's rent collection is too low, less than 70% of previous years. The main reason is that many Zhuangzi were massacred during the Japanese raids, and many tenants died.

Although Zhuo Laoyan was a traitor, he was definitely not ignorant of practical matters. After listening to the accountant's words, he calculated in his mind for a while and then told the accountant to increase the intensity of rent collection. If it failed, let the joint defense team collect it. Which tenants

Anyone who dares to resist or evade rent will be arrested and sent to the Suining City Gendarmerie to see if they dare to resist or evade rent. As for the cultivated land that has been abandoned due to the death of tenants, it must be rented out quickly so as not to affect next year's production.

Harvest. A big family has big problems and big problems. The imperial army needs food and money, the joint defense team needs food, and the whole family also needs food, drink and expenses. If the rent cannot be collected, how can we live this life?

After Mr. Nono, the accountant, left, Zhuo Laoyan sat alone on a chair and thought silently. The high-rise area is now in chaos. Although the Shibawei Joint Protection Organization has been established, he has become the director, and also

District offices and town offices were established, but the Communist Lingbi County Government also fled here. Did Li Dongyi of the Lingbi County Government have the final say on the ground for this high-rise building, or did he have the final say?

Thinking of this problem, Zhuo Laoyan wanted his son to find the Japanese army at the Dalu stronghold and ask them to raid the Gaolou area and completely eliminate the Lingbi County Government people.

After thinking about it, I decided to forget it. These days, if you make fewer enemies, you can find more ways to go. Anyway, Li Dongyi and his gang are very sensible. They just run training courses and shout anti-Japanese slogans. They don't pose any substantial threat to themselves.

.As soon as there is any disturbance, they will flee to other places.

What really upset Zhuo Laoyan was that I heard that there was an Eighth Route Army in the Suxian area, and there seemed to be terrorists operating on the ground in Lingbei. These terrorists were very bold, hanging out with the poor every day, shouting for rent reductions.

The slogan of cutting interest rates may one day attract troops. If they do, they will definitely attract the Eighth Route Army from the Suxian area to Lingbei. This high-rise area may not be quiet anymore. Think about yourself

With so many granaries, Zhuo Laoyan felt unsure. These days, if you have food, you have everything. The poor devils may have already taken aim at their own food, but they have no guns in their hands and just stare. If this is the Eighth Route Army

Now that we are here, can we still keep our food?

Zhuo Laoyan couldn't sit still anymore and thought he should go to Suining City to meet the county governor Xia Shuowu and ask him to tell the imperial army whether he could give himself a designation, establish a regular armed force, and send a few imperial troops

The military instructor came to help with the training. If the imperial army refused to allow the establishment of a regular force, if that didn't work, he would secretly contact Sun Jiazhao and Wang Yuwen from the Suining Security Group in Suining County and ask them to garrison Zhuowei. Anyway,

With that group of people stationed here, the Eighth Route Army would not dare and would not touch Zhuowei.

Zhuo Laoyan called the housekeeper and asked him to visit the district and asked the district chief's son to go home to discuss something.

After the housekeeper left, Zhuo Laoyan took out a cigarette. The maid Cuicui came forward and lit it for him with a match, then turned to pour tea.

After smoking a cigarette, taking the herbal tea brought over by Cuicui, and drinking a cup, Zhuo Laoyan felt at ease, and his eyes couldn't help but glance at Cuicui's bulging chest.

Cuicui is 17 years old this year. She is wearing a Hangzhou silk short-sleeved shirt with long braids hanging on her chest. She looks much younger and more beautiful than Zhuo Laoyan's third aunt Tai Tai.

As for Cuicui, Zhuo Laoyan originally planned to take over the house. Now that he wants to go to the Japanese army to get the serial number, Zhuo Laoyan has a suspicion in his heart. With Cuicui's appearance, if it is given to a Japanese officer, it might be good.

Trying to get a batch of arms.

Living in the home of a large landlord in Zhuowei, Cuicui's world is actually very small, and she doesn't know much about the changes outside. She only sees the master and the young master, and knows that they are both capable people, both powerful and powerful, and the family's

There is too much food to eat and sell, so we can catch whoever we want and bury alive whoever we want.

People are very complicated. Although the Zhuo family dominates the local area, he also does some good things when he has time. For example, Zhuowei's education is at the forefront of the Jiangsu-Anhui border area. It is said that Zhuowei is the first educational institution in the entire Jiangsu-Anhui border area.

The earliest place also trained many talents in the future.

It is said that Cuicui is a maid of Zhuo Laoyan's family, and she should have hatred towards Zhuo Laoyan's family. But things are so strange. This little girl has been with Zhuo Laoyan for a long time, eating well and wearing good clothes.

She actually had the idea of ​​climbing a high branch. No, Cuicui felt the fascinated look in Zhuo Laoyan's eyes. Instead of being annoyed, Cuicui was secretly happy. She stood there with her head lowered, stroking the ends of her braids with her little hands, her face

, the neck is covered with blush.

Zhuo Laoyan watched it for a while and felt that the peach was ripe and it was time to try it. Even if it was to be given to the Japanese army, he had to taste it himself before giving it away!

After coughing in a pretentious manner, Zhuo Laoyan said, "Cui Cui, come in with me. I have something good to show you."

Little did Cuicui know that her master had decided to give her as a gift to the Japanese army, so she thought something good was coming, so she hummed, lowered her head, and followed Zhuo Laoyan into the bedroom.

As soon as he entered, Zhuo Laoyan hugged Cuicui. He was a big landowner. Although he had always pretended to be sanctimonious in the past and talked about benevolence and morality, he had money, food, and guns, and he had done many bad things.

There was no fear at all. He hugged Cuicui into the bed, pushed her directly onto the bed, and then jumped on her.

Cuicui is well developed, with plump breasts, purple grape-like vagina, and her body is as smooth and tender as the juice Zhuo Laoyan drinks. Zhuo Laoyan is happy to touch, bite, and gnaw.

It's a pity that Zhuo Laoyan is old after all, and no matter how anxious he is, he may not be able to cooperate with the work. Cuicui is also a young girl. No matter how willing she is, she is very shy and will not help Zhuo Laoyan. Zhuo Laoyan is playing tricks

After a while, I had to get up and rub it slowly, hoping to swell it up quickly so that I could explore the beauty of Taoyuan.

While they were rubbing it, gunfire came from outside. Immediately afterwards, the housekeeper stumbled in and shouted: "Sir, it's bad, the Eighth Route Army has invaded. Run!"

Zhuo Laoyan no longer had any evil intentions and sat down on the ground in shock.

Cuicui was still young. She quickly put on her clothes, got out of bed, picked up Zhuo Laoyan, and helped him outside.

At this time, Zhuo Mansion was in chaos, with women and children crying and running around.

Seeing the panic on the butler's face, Zhuo Laoyan calmed down and asked: "Where did the Eighth Route Army come from?"

The housekeeper was so frightened that he peed his pants and said tremblingly: "Master, you asked me to go to the district to invite the young master. I didn't go far when I saw an army coming towards Zhuowei. I ran back quickly and just as I ran into Zhuowei

, the Eighth Route Army surrounded Zhuowu."

Zhuo Laoyan had never seen the Eighth Route Army before! At this time, he had regained his composure. Listening to the gunshots and artillery fire outside, he guessed in his heart that what was coming was really the regular troops of the Eighth Route Army. It seemed that Zhuo Wei could not hold it any longer.

. Thirty-six Stratagems: Walking is the best, you have to run quickly.

With his mind made up, Zhuo Laoyan immediately asked the housekeeper to organize the joint defense team, and all of them entered the bunker, bunker, and climbed the polder wall to defend and fight hard.

In order to cheer up the housekeeper, Zhuo Laoyan pretended to be calm and said that the Eighth Route Army was not scary. Was the Taiping Army or the Nian Army fierce? Aren't they also helpless against the well-fortified Zhuowei? The same goes for the Eighth Route Army, and they will also be there.

Zhuo Wei's head was bruised and bloody.

As soon as the housekeeper left, Zhuo Laoyan repeatedly ordered the wives to pack up their belongings and prepare to escape.

If it were an ordinary army, Zhuo Laoyan might really be allowed to run away. Because Zhuowei was built by the Zhuo family and has been in business for so many years, there must be tunnels and other facilities just in case. Unfortunately, the one who came was the 1st Teaching Brigade of the Eighth Route Army.

Brigadier Gao Yuan and Cheng Cuilin, political commissar of the 1st Teaching Brigade and commander of the 1st New Brigade, did not even look down on Taiyuan City, Tianjin City, and Jinan City, let alone the small Zhuowei?

Sure enough, before Zhuo Laoyan's family could prepare their supplies, his joint defense team surrendered.

The Eighth Route Army invaded Zhuowu, which had been occupied by the Zhuo family for more than a hundred years.

By the time Gao Yuan and Cheng Cuilin walked into Zhuo Laoyan's yard, Zhuo Laoyan had already been tied up by the soldiers and was lying on the ground exhausted.

Gao Yuan was well-informed, but after seeing the arrogance of the Zhuo family, he couldn't help but said: "I said that this vast plain in Northeast Anhui should be rich in resources and people, but there are so many people fleeing for food. It turns out that money

, the food is concentrated in the hands of these big landowners!"

Cheng Cuilin said with a smile: "The world is as dark as crows. If it weren't for these landlords and rich people, there might not be the Communist Party and the Red Army!"

The two people chatted and laughed when they arrived at the main hall where Zhuo Laoyan was entertaining guests. After sitting down, Gao Yuan asked someone to bring Zhuo Laoyan and asked, "Are you the traitor Zhuo Laoyan?"

Upon hearing the word "traitor", Zhuo Laoyan suddenly woke up. He knew that for the crime of going north, the Eighth Route Army would probably kill him. He hurriedly defended himself and said: "Commander of the Eighth Route Army, I am Zhuo Laoyan, and I did indeed do it in front of Shibawei."

Director of the Joint Security Council. However, I am not a traitor. I only take this position to protect the country and the people."

Gao Yuan looked at Zhuo Laoyan, who was trying his best to defend himself, and suppressed his laughter, saying, "Tell me, how many benefits did the Japanese give you by letting you be the Director of the Joint Security Council of Shibawei?"

Zhuo Laoyan blurted out: "Taijun didn't give me any benefits at all. Instead, he asked for money and food."

Gao Yuan laughed loudly: "Why did you do that now when you know today? Zhuo Laoyan, the Eighth Route Army announced the confiscation of all your property in accordance with the laws of the Republic of China government on punishing traitors. This is the retribution for your family being traitors! Pull it down!"

After the soldiers pulled Zhuo Laoyan down, Gao Yuan and Cheng Cuilin commanded the troops to begin an inventory of the property of Zhuo's landlord. This inventory surprised Gao Yuan and Cheng Cuilin even though they were fully prepared mentally. In Zhuowei Village, there were only granaries.

There are eighty-two in total, and each granary is full. Some of the grain seems to have been stored for several years.

How many people are starving to death, and the old grain in the granary of the great landowner Zhuo has not yet been sold out. In this day and age, in this world!

Cheng Cuilin's eyes almost burst into laughter as he directly dictated the telegram to Liu Yimin. It was the same as when Gao Yuan seized the Japanese weapons and equipment at Tanggu Port. It started with "Commander, we are rich! The granary of the big landowner in Zhuowei has returned."

We have so much food that we can’t weigh it, at least tens of millions of kilograms, which is enough to teach a brigade and feed a new brigade for a year.”

Liu Yimin's reply arrived soon, instructing Gao Yuan and Cheng Cuilin to quickly occupy Gao Lou. The Gao family landlords in Gao Lou were also traitors. They were more powerful than the Zhuo family landlords in Zhuowei and controlled a larger area of ​​land. They should be more powerful than the Zhuo family landlords.

With money, there will be more food. At the same time, Liu Yimin asked for a plateau, and Cheng Cuilin put down his main force. While sweeping across Northeast Anhui, he resolutely confiscated all the property of the traitorous landlords, mobilized the masses, distributed grain and fields, and liberated the people in Northeast Anhui.

Sincerely support the Communist Party and follow the Communist Party to fight against the Japanese. As the old saying goes, what is the main force? The main force is both a combat team that conquers difficulties and a work team that does mass work. We must remember at all times that the common people are

The source of our army’s continuous development and growth.

At this time, all the landlords of the Zhuo family were arrested by the Eighth Route Army, and the soldiers had already begun to interrogate them and dig up their wealth.

Zhuo Laoyan has too much property. He has been operating for more than a hundred years, controls so much land, and controls more than 20 towns. Not to mention anything else, the grain trade alone has brought countless losses to the Zhuo family.

The wealth of the Qing Dynasty. Ships full of grain were sold to major cities through the Sui River and canals. Coupled with other commercial activities and plunder, the wealth made ordinary people sound like astronomical figures. No, in Zhuo

Lao Yan's family not only found the land deeds for 77,000 acres of land, but also found a large number of house deeds in Anqing, Hefei, Xuzhou, Bengbu and surrounding counties. What surprised Gao Yuan and Cheng Cuilin the most was that among these frivolous wealth,

In addition to gold bars, silver dollars, and French currency, there are also many high-end consumer goods that are only seen in Tianjin. For example, there are many French-made wines in Zhuo Laoyan's warehouse.

Gao Yuan sighed: "No wonder Zhuo's landowners want all their families to be traitors. Such a lot of property would have fallen into the pockets of the Japanese army if they had not been traitors."

Cheng Cuilin said that Gao Yuan was wrong. Being a traitor was a matter of personal integrity and related to property, but it was not an absolute factor. There were many people with more property than Zhuo Laoyan, and not all of them were necessarily traitors. He was just a traitor at best.

Rich man.

Gao Yuan shook his head and said humorously that it was fortunate that he was a traitor and gave us an opportunity to confiscate his land and distribute it to landless peasants. Otherwise, we would have had to follow the policy of reducing rent and interest. This old landlord would still ride

Shit and piss on the heads of ordinary people.

The occupation of Zhuowu and Gaolou not only captured a large amount of food and property, but more importantly, it awakened the people of Northeast Anhui. The powerful Gao family and Zhuo family were both captured by the Eighth Route Army, and the granaries were destroyed.

was opened, and many tenants became the owners of the land in the subsequent division of land. At this time, the image of *** and the Eighth Route Army took root in Northeast Anhui. No matter who they were or what forces they were,

It is no longer possible to drive the Communist Eighth Route Army out of the hearts of the people.

Dear book friends: Shanren is out of town due to something, so I’m sorry, friends. I bow and apologize to everyone. I’m sorry!
