Chapter 1188 Bitter Winter (2)

Chapter 1188 Bitter Winter Day ([-])

Birds were singing, and on a sunny afternoon, walking in the woods between the farm and Xiaoye Village, Peng Yueyun and Tang Minjie talked about their upcoming marriage.

"...Some time ago, there was a meeting in Chengdu, and things were very busy, so I didn't have time to come and see you. After making some arrangements, I went to propose a kiss. Jingmei and I...the chairman nodded, and we will probably be there. There will be a wedding in the spring next year.”

"Jingmei?" Tang Minjie frowned at him.

"Hey, she's also half a year older than me." Peng Yueyun carried his hands on his back, and in the autumn light, although he was already a tall and straight soldier with a solemn military uniform, at this time he seemed to show a bit of youthful childishness. , "I can't keep calling her sister."

"...It's all good." Tang Minjie also laughed.

Time flies, when he was transferred to the Northland, he was still Peng Yueyun's age, while Peng Yueyun and Lin Jingmei were seventeen or eighteen-year-old young people.At that time, Peng Yueyun was bitter and hated, and he looked rebellious all day long. Among his peers, only Lin Jingmei could scold him and train him, but it was unexpected that the two would come together.

Walking forward, Peng Yueyun said: "It will not be a big deal to get married. It should be in Zhang Village. Please take a seat with the elders. Brother, you can come over. Sister Jingmei and I, I especially hope that you can come."

Tang Minjie shook his head: "I'm inconvenient."

"It's inconvenient, you saved my life."

"I am guilty of..."

"No way, even if there is a mistake, it has already been punished, and this is a personal matter, no matter what else, you are my senior, senior brother, talk a little more, I owe you a life, I am a relative, it doesn't matter if you come here ."

Stepping on Jichen's fallen leaves, there was a rustling sound, and Peng Yueyun's words were sincere and convincing.But Tang Minjie looked at him with a smile, as if approving, then shook his head and patted him on the shoulder: "Let's not talk about this... I'll let someone bring gifts over there."

"you……"

Now 25-year-old Peng Yueyun has a family background, and has experienced the most intense polishing since he became an adult. Now he can be regarded as a high-ranking person, and he speaks things convincingly, dignified, and murderous.His wedding banquet may not be a big deal, but it symbolizes the combination of the main branch of the Ning family of the Huaxia Army and the first branch of the Western Army. Tang Minjie saved his life, even if the teacher refused to forgive him, or refused to reuse it in the future He, with the care of everyone in the Western Army, is enough to support his future world.

This is Peng Yueyun's imagination and design. In any case, he pulled him around in front of the elders.He originally thought that even if the other party refused, he should find some reason and think about various arguments. Who would have guessed that Tang Minjie just blocked it back so easily, and his momentum and majesty did not play any role.

Sighing slightly, he had no choice but to trot and follow.

"I know, I know, don't go if you don't go." He chose to compromise, "Well, find a time, I will accompany you on a blind date, how about it?"

"……what?"

"That's right, in my family, there is a cousin who came from the northwest like me. She has a family background. She can not only play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also dance with knives and guns. She is seventeen this year, and she looks pretty good. Just say, if I have time, I can help you find a partner, that's fine. This is... I'm the best at my side, I think it's worthy of you, then you can find a time, and I'll show the two of you. one look."

Tang Minjie laughed: "Then I think your brother is really unreliable. Xiao Peng, why are you like this? You looked very serious back then, why are you so out of touch this time..."

"No." Peng Yueyun's face was calm and natural, "She is not bad, she told me to find a great hero of the Huaxia Army, I said that these great heroes may not be good husbands, she said that it doesn't matter, she will be tolerant and must do it. Good virtuous helper... You know, we came from the northwest with hatred in our hearts, she's not that kind of tacky woman. So I think you can do it."

"...I hate it in my heart, you know?" As if there was a subtle sound coming from the depths of the woods, Tang Minjie rubbed his forehead.

"...So you're going to introduce her to an old man who drags shit. This man also has an injury."

"You have a reason for this..."

"How to tell her?"

"Uh, I click on her, I click on her and she understands...Brother..."

"Don't call me brother, there is no such unreliable brother as you..."

Peng Yueyun reached out and clicked a few times while talking, Tang Minjie smiled and punched: "It's a pity that you were also arranged by the teacher to do intelligence, and click again... Forget it, don't mention those unreliable, recently What's going on outside, can I say anything? How is Zou Xu?"

"Liu Guangshi's army crossed the river in large numbers. In the Central Plains, Zou Xu contracted the main battle line to Bianliang, and arranged for a few suspected soldiers to harass Liu Guangshi's coalition forces on the periphery. In our opinion, this is a bit of lure the enemy to go deep, and invite the king to enter the urn. There are also people. Said that he may want to concentrate his elite troops to fight a decisive battle in Bianliang, stretch Liu Guangshi's front, and then solve it at one time, and get a guard to reach the post..."

Speaking of external matters, Peng Yueyun said: "In addition, He Wen's Jiangning Conference went bankrupt, and the five factions of the Fairness Party are in full-scale infighting in Jiangnan. Maybe Wu Qimei and Tie Yan can live a few more days... The situation is not very good now. What is clear is the situation in the southeast. The small court in Fujian wanted to seize public opinion and promote respect for kings and barbarians. On the one hand, they wanted to centralize power and compete with Confucianism for power. Stuck in that place, the soldiers and horses seem to be very strong, and the clown jumping from the beam dare not move, but we think that maybe sooner or later, something will go wrong..."

"These things are not classified as secrets." Peng Yueyun said with a smile, "But the main thing I'm worrying about recently is not external matters. After the conference, the biggest thing on our side is land reform. To be honest, work pressure It's very big, and there aren't enough manpower available, so I was transferred over, and the knife edge is inward. Oh, the land reform thing, should have passed here too, right?"

"The movement in the village is not very clear. I come back every morning and go to Wenpu in the evening. I heard some rumors in the county town, and the big households are a little panicked." Speaking of land reform, Tang Minjie frowned. " Are you really ready?"

"Teacher has made up his mind. In the second half of the year, around the time you came back, the Seventh Army carried out a rectification campaign. During the conference, the Seventh Army and the Fifth Army exchanged defenses of more than 6000 people. This is a guarantee of force. Then On the side of the Fair Party, the situation of killing the rich and destroying people has been exaggerated by large and small newspapers, and then it mainly relies on Zhuji's newspaper reading every three days to infiltrate the bottom... By the way, there are three people in Xiaoye Village. The day-to-day reading of newspapers should be done all the time, right? Was it conveyed by veterans or sent by Zhuji?"

"This should be Zhuji. I met someone who came over on the road, but...it looks very tired." Tang Minjie said.

In the Huaxia Army, Zhuji's merchant tour mode has always been the basic channel for the bottom to contact the Huaxia Army.Since the Huaxia Army jumped out of Liangshan, the initial force could not complete the takeover of the bottom layer. It was based on the trolley of Zhuji selling daily necessities, and it patrolled the place from village to village. During this period, the trolley was often accompanied by a storyteller. People, convened the masses, publicized the policies of the Huaxia Army while listening to the book, sometimes cooperated with doctors to see a doctor, and sometimes cooperated with circuit courts or executive soldiers, and during the tour, they dealt with the complaints made by the people.

To this day, the management of the entire site by the Huaxia Army has completely taken over all large towns. For many villages, veterans are arranged to sink as much as possible, and the governance of public security and vicious crimes will be taken first. Vendors are still on tour, and the storytelling mode has evolved into a newspaper reading system after the popularity of newspapers. In telling certain novels and stories, villagers are introduced to the outside world or the policies that the Huaxia Army wants to implement.

"...There are still not enough manpower." Peng Yueyun said, "After taking the Chengdu Plain and fighting it out, there are 260 big cities, over 10 county towns, and over 7000 villages under the jurisdiction. The last count was [-], but we As for the Huaxia Army, the army and officials add up, but there are only [-] people. If everyone is divided equally, there will be less than three in a village. The newspaper readers should try to make rounds every three or four days, even if they are just selling goods and reading newspapers. Two people manage ten villages, and there are [-] people here... Zhuji doesn't have so many people, how many people can really tell the story? But if you don't tell the story, just let others read it for one round, and not many people are willing to listen... ..."

Peng Yueyun babbled, Tang Minjie smiled and said, "If someone reads books and newspapers well, and their brains are easy to use, maybe they will be taken away by you?"

"Haha, that's true too." Peng Yueyun laughed, "There is a shortage of people everywhere. After defeating the Jurchen, they recruited people everywhere, saying that it is the old and the new. In more than a year, how much can I bring out that can be used? Brother, I It is also said here that it is from a family background. I have studied since I was a child, but when I was seventeen or eighteen, what did I know when I started doing things? At that time, let me divide the land, and killing is over, it is nothing more than killing."

The young man in the military uniform shook his head: "Recruiting people, but not a wide range of recruits, not endless recruiting... Honestly, the most useful thing in execution is that you can basically get things done right after you get started. Those old Confucian scholars who have read books or even been officials, ah... masters, staff, and some traders are not bad, but some of these people have outdated ideas, some have no ideas, but they have outdated habits, and they can't absorb them arbitrarily. I I've checked several calls here, it's very troublesome, and I'm devastated..."

"...Sometimes, I complain to the teacher, what is the standard of Huaxia's military personnel, I can't say. We used to say the word Huaxia, but it was mainly aimed at Jurchen. We must be united, honest, and selfless. , to prove that the people of China will not lose to the barbarians... After the Southwest War is over, the standards are suddenly a little blurred. You can't endlessly recruit people on a large scale. If you recruit too many people, your thoughts will be chaotic, and you have to recruit an old pedant. , People are also honest and upright, but occasionally ask questions, can it be used? How much can it be used? Where is the tolerance? Where is the standard? It may be more harmful if they are connected in series... We can't just stare at them..."

The two walked towards the edge of the woodland. The early winter sunlight fell in the rustling sound. In Peng Yueyun's words, Tang Minjie sighed: "So it's time..."

"Yeah... The teacher said that Hua Xia's formulation includes our hatred for Jurchen, and there is no way we can move forward to support everyone here. Four people... mainly the core of the people, and we must turn from falsehood when we reach this point. The real key point is that after this thing is done, we can say that everything that is actually good for the people is what we have to do, and everything that can help this thing is what we want. Comrade, this standard of measurement can become more practical, and how to be good to the people and practice the road of the four people is the answer... In this way, everything will be connected..."

After Peng Yueyun said these words, the two gradually walked out of the woods to the pond where Tang Minjie often sat and basked in the sun.The young soldier smiled and said: "It's also for these reasons. It's not easy to recruit people. There are not many people in the middle and upper classes who can really understand the ideas of teachers. At the most critical time, brother, or you..."

"Stop...you're really shameless, and you won't give up your studies until you reach your goals..."

"It's all for work, brother, you know, there are no rules or rules for things on the espionage line, as long as it can be done, it doesn't matter, if it can't be done, 1 reasons are wrong..." Peng Yueyun said , "What you do in the north is me and I do the same."

Tang Minjie shook his head: "You don't know the specific situation over there, it's dangerous to think like this... But you're still young, and you'll understand it gradually."

"If you hadn't been so cruel back then, I'd be dead."

The usual Peng Yueyun was not a humorous and escapist character. He probably only showed gentleness in front of Lin Jingmei, and in front of Tang Minjie, he showed a short-lived youthful childishness. At this time, the two stood side by side, looking at the man across the pond. In the dilapidated country, his face showed a cold and calm air again.Tang Minjie glanced at him, most of the Huaxia army was bitter and hated, and he was no stranger to the occasional seriousness and extremeness of young people. As long as he was not in an extreme environment like himself, in fact, most of them would not go the wrong way.

"You will understand." He smiled. "After getting married, you will probably understand."

Speaking of getting married, Peng Yueyun laughed again.

The two stood side by side and looked forward for a moment. Tang Minjie said, "There is a shortage of manpower for land reform. What will we do next?"

"Old rules, start from the point of view." Peng Yueyun said, "In large places, the first wave of public opinion propaganda has paved the way. Now the whole Jiangnan is in chaos, and there are also negative teaching materials... Among the more than 7000 villages, first determine If there are a large number of people and there are big landlords, the landlords should negotiate first and take back the land in a unified way. This time, it will not work if they don’t agree. One class, after the class, the exam, and then dividing the fields, such a process..."

"After class...exam?"

Peng Yueyun tilted his head and smiled: "Write your name and the word Huaxia, and you will be able to pass the test... The exam is not difficult, but if you set a threshold and reward them, they will be more aware of the nation and people's livelihood. , Minquan, Minzhi, these four people's arguments, even in order to get the land, they will restrict the resistance of the landlord. At the same time, during these ten lessons, distinguish and absorb can be used Compared with those who are recruited from outside, this group of people has a larger base and is more pure, and may become the backbone of the future..."

Peng Yueyun talked about these things, Tang Minjie listened quietly, and then they talked about a lot of things, even the details of Tang Minjie's current work, including the life of those night-scented women, Peng Yueyun also listened quietly.As the evening approached, the two had a simple dinner together. Tang Minjie set up a mule cart to go back to Wenpu Town to wait for the next day's collection of Yexiang, while Peng Yueyun was scheduled to go to other places. He used to be in charge of external espionage work. This time the knife edge is inward, and a lot of work still needs to be kept secret.

"...I have a very good friend from Wenpu's side who works in the county town. When I came here, I told him about your side's affairs. If there is something that can't be done for a while, brother, you can Go find him, he's called..."

When Peng Yueyun talked about these arrangements, Tang Minjie smiled and shook his head: "No need, don't do these things." He said, "I've already gone home, what else can I do."

"It's convenient if you want to contact me." Peng Yueyun said.

After the two said goodbye, Tang Minjie set up the mule cart and headed towards Wenpu Town as usual. At that time, the setting sun was gradually setting the mountain, casting a magnificent pale white color between the sky and the earth. He could see villages everywhere along the winding mountain road. The villages here are mostly lonely and shabby, and the people in ragged clothes live a peaceful life. These lives have not changed too much because of the arrival of the Huaxia Army. Even though there are occasional car tours, occasionally people come to read newspapers , practice medicine, life itself is still ordinary and boring.

The upheaval of Chengdu, Zizhou and other places has not penetrated into the administrative tip of this land for the time being.

Halfway through the road, his dung car passed by the simple car with the Bamboo Kee flag. The merchants and newspaper readers on the car were as lazy and tired as ever. Walking through the dilapidated villages on the road, the storyteller simply tells a few fascinating stories and reads some mechanical news. Fan.

The setting sun is sinking into the sky like sinking into the sea, and on the teacher's side, the sharp scalpel in his hand is already sinking down to the smallest texture of the earth, and many people are about to scream, so his There seems to be blood surging in my heart.

As the mule cart moved forward, he hummed a song and imagined it all in the afterglow of the setting sun.

What is the teacher doing at this time?

You must be happy to be able to do these things, right?

want to get involved.

such a pity……

Life has been spent elsewhere.

　Well, I got it, got it, yesterday was a little short...
