Chapter 308: Re-entering Jiaozhou (1)
Luo Yue turned around and asked Wang Gui, "Wang Gui, what else should you argue about what you did yourself?"
In fact, Wang Gui was both glad and regretful at this time. Fortunately, his son Wang Qing was successfully rescued by the People's Army, so he could feel at ease. And what he regretted was why he agreed to the Wang brothers to help them deal with overseas Chinese, and even poisoned the whole village. If he had known that the People's Army had such great ability to rescue his son from the Wang brothers, he would beg the People's Army to not fall to this point.
At this point, Wang Gui had nothing to say. He was an honest and cowardly person and was not good at distinguishing. Therefore, he couldn't say anything at this time. He could only hold his son and bow his head without saying anything. His wife and other children also surrounded him and hugged Wang Gui and cried.
Originally, many villagers were very angry with Wang Gui, and just wanted to see how overseas Chinese punished Wang Gui, but when they saw this, they couldn't bear it. Although Wang Gui promised to help the Wang brothers and poison the villagers, they had not taken action yet, so the villagers were not harmed. Moreover, Wang Gui has always been honest in the village and got along well with the villagers. Now that he saw that their family was like this, his resentment was also gone.
Luo Yue looked at Wang Gui's family again, and sighed secretly, both pitying his misfortune and hating him for not fighting. No matter when he came to confess his things to him, he would be fine, but he finally got the current land.
However, things have come to this point. Although Luo Yue sympathized with Wang Gui, he could not help him. He turned to face the villagers and shouted: "Friends, everyone has seen that the Wang family has been in Wangjia Village for more than 20 years. After finally being knocked down, Wang Zhanyuan was also executed. Everyone was assigned to the fields, and now they have to open up wasteland and farmland. This Yu Zi is getting better and better day by day, but his two sons are unwilling to be driven out of Wangjia Village. They always want to avoid them, want to regain Wangjia Village and continue to ride on our heads The mighty one does not allow everyone to live a good life, and even kill the villagers to vent their anger. The villagers also have some villagers, because they are afraid of the power of the Wang family, do not believe in the power of our People's Army, and even help the Wang family to murder the villagers. Therefore, we must not relax our vigilance, but should always be as alert as Wang Qinjiu's family. Once the Wang brothers come back, we must not be weak. We must fight with them to the end and defend our homeland. Moreover, our People's Army will also do our best to help everyone and protect the village."
As he said that, Luo Yue pointed to the ten bloody heads placed on the ground and said, "So what if the Wang brothers caught bandits? We are still beaten to pieces by us. The Wang brothers also captured Wang Gui's son Wang Qing and threatened Wang Gui to do things for them. But now we still rescued his son. If Wang Gui could honestly explain to us before this, he would not only be fine, but also have credit and would not fall to the current level. Therefore, everyone must learn from Wang Gui's lessons, no longer have any fantasies about the Wang family, and absolutely believe in the power of the People's Army."
Then Luo Yue turned to Wang Gui's family and said, "Wang Gui, although you have been threatened by the Wang brothers and have no choice but to become an accomplice of the Wang brothers, your behavior has endangered the safety of the entire village, so you must be punished. Do you have anything to argue?"
Wang Gui shook his head and said, "Luo Chang, it's all my fault that I was so lard that I couldn't tell the difference between right and wrong, so I did the wrong thing. Fortunately, the elders are very capable, and the whole village is safe and sound, and I rescued my son. It's all that I did the wrong thing myself. Even if the elders want to kill me and cut me, I admit it, but I just ask the elders to be proud of my hands and don't implicate my family."
Luo Yue nodded and said, "Don't worry, we don't do the continuation method, but the punishment for your family is not decided by me, but handled by the relevant departments of the superiors. Before the punishment is completed, your family will still be detained in the village committee." After that, Luo Yue ordered the soldiers to take Wang Gui's family to the village committee and detain him.
After taking Wang Gui's family into the village committee, everyone also had a lot of discussion. Some people said that overseas Chinese were too unkind and Wang Gui was forced to do so. Anyway, the village was fine, so why bother to keep Wang Gui? But someone immediately refuted that if it weren't for overseas Chinese, how could the village be fine? Moreover, overseas Chinese have done their best to be kind and righteous, and rescued Wang Gui's son. What else can you do? If you want to blame, you can only blame Wang Gui for being too confused and how can you believe the Wang family?
At this time, Marseille announced that the land reclamation work will continue tomorrow, so that the villagers will go back and have the energy to work tomorrow.
After the crowd dispersed, Luo Yue immediately reported the results of today's action to the Qingdao Command, which was specially transmitted to the Tianjin Executive Committee and asked the Executive Committee to decide on the punishment of Wang Gui's family. Then Luo Yue interrogated the captured bandits overnight, and then he found out the origin of the bandits and the relationship between the Wang brothers and the bandits.
At noon the next day, Wang Sheng rushed to Wangjiazhai Village. Luo Yue, Marseille, Gao Shize and others welcomed Wang Sheng into the village committee. Luo Yue had already reported to Wang Sheng in yesterday's report, so he just told Wang Sheng about the information he had obtained when he interrogated the bandits last night.
After listening to Luo Yue's report, Wang Sheng nodded and said, "I didn't expect that the two brothers of the Wang family really have some ability to move. They can actually bring so many bandits to attack Wangjia Village. We have really underestimated them before, but this time we failed to catch their brothers, and I'm afraid there will be many consequences."
Luo Yue shook his head and said, "After this battle, this bandit has suffered heavy casualties and severely injured his vitality. In addition, Wangjiazhai's support has been cut off, so for at least a few years, he will not have the strength to attack Wangjiazhai again."
Wang Shengdao: "This bandit has been crippled by us. Will the Wang brothers attract other bandits to attack Wangjiazhai?"
Luo Yue said: "I think this possibility is not great, because this bandit actually has little to do with the Wang brothers, mainly the relationship established by their father. The Wang brothers themselves do not have much ability to move. As far as we know, the Wang family has no connection with other bandits. After this battle, even if other bandits want to attack Wangjiazhai, they have to weigh their own weight. Don't not eat walnuts, but they will have to break their teeth."
Wang Sheng nodded and said, "Battleman Luo, what you said makes sense."
Luo Yue said again: "Actually, if it is just a bandit, I am not worried, because there are villages to guard here, and we have trained militias, so any kind of bandit can resist it, but even the strongest fortress is always easy to collapse from the inside. To be honest, this time it is indeed very lingering. If it weren't for someone to appear and inform us of the results, it's hard to say, even if the whole village was slaughtered, it would be impossible."
After hearing this, Marseille was quite moved and said, "That's right, Wang Gui is really not a bad person, and he is a famous honest man in the village. He is really good at thinking. Their family's conditions are not very good. They also adopted three orphans. Such people actually do such things. Although he was coerced by the Wang brothers, he never thought of asking for help from us. It's a pity to think about it. We have done so much for the villagers, but we still don't get the trust of the villagers. It's better to evade them."
Gao Shize said: "This shows that the farmers in this era have very low awareness, our work is not in place, or there are problems with their working methods, and it is not easy for us to transform this era, but we have a long way to go."
Marseille also dumbly said: "It's not that in the old time and space, as long as you fight bandits and divide the fields, you can immediately win the hearts of the people and get the full support of the farmers. Not to mention the seniors who traveled through time, they responded to each other. Why did we become like this?"
Wang Sheng smiled and said, "I am not as pessimistic as you see. Of course, we are not Long Aotian, and we do not have the ability to accept my brothers for a long time. We are definitely not as easy as we think. Even our ancestors in the old time and space actually spent a lot of effort and energy, because they were in the early stage of entrepreneurship. In addition, our work in Wangjiazhai Village is not completely useless. This time, it was the villagers who informed us that we knew the plans of the Wang brothers. This does not mean that we have won the trust of some villagers. This is also an affirmation of our previous work. So I think Wang Gui is just an isolated case and is not representative, so we don't need to be discouraged. Of course, in our future work, we need to work harder and find the right way to work."
After hearing what Wang Sheng said, Marseille felt a lot more happy and his face looked much better.
At this time, Luo Yue asked again: "Director Wang came to Wangjiazhai Village this time, are he planning to enter Jiaozhou City again?"
Wang Sheng nodded and said, "The Executive Committee has agreed to my construction. Taking this opportunity to put pressure on the Jiaozhou government to gain greater power to operate in this area. In addition, it must penetrate into Jiaozhou City, which not only facilitates us to purchase goods, but also gradually gain control of Jiaozhou City. After all, Jiaozhou is too close to Qingdao, and letting the Qing court control Jiaozhou City pose too great a threat to Qingdao. On the contrary, if Jiaozhou City falls under our control, it can serve as a barrier for Qingdao, so that our room for maneuver in the Jiaoao area will be much greater."
