Bright Sword's Bloody War of Resistance

Chapter 336

It was the first time for Zhou Weihan to meet everyone. Before that, Li Daben had been meeting with them as a representative of the independent detachment, so polite words were indispensable for this first meeting.

Everyone gave up in the meeting room of the garrison group, Zhou Weihan sat on the left, Li Daben, the host, sat on the right, and the rest of the people sat scattered in the room.

Zhou Weihan has always been a direct-talking person, looking at the crowd gathered together, he said directly: "Everyone is gathered today, is there something wrong?"

The landlords present looked at me, I looked at you, and finally turned their eyes to Bai Chengfeng.

Seeing this, Bai Chengfeng coughed lightly, with a smile on his face, and then said: "Comrade Zhou is really quick to speak, if that's the case, I'll tell you the truth!"

"Two days ago, someone visited our villages. According to the Eighth Route Army comrades who escorted them, they came down from Yanwang Mountain to investigate the education of school-age youths in each village. According to their intention, they want to run schools in the villages. I think Excuse me, is there such a thing?"

Zhou Weihan nodded after hearing this, and said: "There is indeed such a thing!"

Bai Chengfeng stood up, with a smile on his face, looked at the surrounding landlords, and continued: "These people here all have some assets, and the establishment of education is to benefit the hometown and awaken the people. It’s a great thing, so after we discussed it, we decided to fund it!”

"The address of this school. Most of the villages have ancestral halls or larger houses, which are suitable for classrooms. We can buy all teaching supplies. We can also set up a school field near the school. The output Food is specially supplied to schools, and before the food is produced, all young people who come to school, if their families are in difficulty, we can manage a lunch!"

After Bai Chengfeng finished speaking, the others answered: "Yes, half a child eats me to death, and we can still manage the ration of one catty per day!"

Zhou Weihan stood up abruptly after hearing this, and then asked: "Is this really true?"

"a man of his words!"

"Okay! Mr. Bai, this is a great act of kindness. The people receiving help will never forget you, and our Eighth Route Army will never forget you!" Zhou Weihan clapped his hands and smiled.

"Where, where, it's all from the folks in the village. If you can help a little bit, it's a little bit!"

There are [-] people in Wuyi and Wu'an counties. Excluding the population of the county seat and the Japanese-occupied areas, there are at least [-] people in the base areas of the two counties.

Although life is not rich these days, there are at least two or three children in the family. If we really run a school, in Zhou Weihan's opinion, the number of people must be indispensable.

After discussing this matter, Bai Chengfeng and his group left.

Looking at the backs of everyone, Zhou Weihan couldn't help but be a bit puzzled: "Aside from welcoming me with such fanfare, is it just for running a school?"

"Detachment Captain, don't be fooled by their current appearance. When we first got in touch, they were very shrewd, but now their interests are tied to ours. They are just elected representatives from various places. There are actually a large group of small landlords and rich peasants behind them!"

"What's more, they say they take care of the meals for the young people whose families are in trouble, but in fact, whoever is poor and who is rich, how to decide, isn't it all decided by them?"

"Finally, it's okay when it's not busy. When the farming season is busy, there may not be a single student in the school. In addition, some families may not want to lose this labor and don't let their children go!"

Li Daben said several things in a row, and Zhou Weihan nodded: "No matter what, as long as he puts this matter into practice, even if only a few hundred students benefit, that's a great thing!"

"Detachment Captain, you are looking at this list of students!" Li Daben said and took out a list.

The list included the birthplaces, family members, and social connections of each student. Zhou Weihan glanced at them roughly, and then frowned.

"Is this Bai Xiuzhu the daughter of the Bai family?" Zhou Weihan asked.

Li Daben hurriedly explained: "It's the daughter of the Bai family, the detachment leader. More than half of the 262 students on this list are the children of the big and small landlords who cooperate with us. Some are direct and some are collateral!"

"Their calculations are very clear. When recruiting troops, at most the sidelines of each family joined the army. Now when they hear that the cadre school recruits students, one by one is more active. Otherwise, how could there be such a thing?"

"Isn't it true that all the children of every family have entered the cadre school? But there is no way. Those who have studied are from wealthy families. But those who can graduate from high school are not available for ordinary families. I can only let people live with us. Landlords with close ties select students!"

"Then the Bai family sent their daughter into the army?" Zhou Weihan asked curiously.

"Hey, this Bai family is known as one dragon, one tiger and one bull. The second son, Bai Jinhu, has joined the army a long time ago. Now he is a company commander of the first regiment and one battalion. You should know the third son, Bai Jinbiao, from the guard company. !"

"The eldest son keeps the incense to continue. As for why the younger daughter is doing this, it may be because she wants to find a better way out!"

Zhou Weihan felt familiar as soon as he heard the name. Isn't Bai Jinbiao from the guard company, but now he is a company commander in the recruit regiment who trains recruits.

"Detachment leader, most of these students are children of landlord families. Is there any problem?" Li Daben said worriedly.

"As long as they support our Eighth Route Army and the Anti-Japanese National United Front, what about the children of the landlords? They are also contributing to the Anti-Japanese War. Why should they have opinions about them?"

"I will charge as much as I want, depending on the ideological work of our Eighth Route Army. Even if Lao Jiang's son comes, he will turn his gun and beat his father!" Zhou Weihan said with a smile.

On weekdays, Li Daben is always in touch with all parties. Zhou Weihan said this to let Li Daben not have a burden on his mind.

Later, Zhou Weihan asked Li Daben to recruit several battalion-level cadres of the garrison regiment.

Not long after, Magnet, the commander of the first battalion, Zhang Zhiming, the commander of the second battalion, Sun Chenghai, the commander of the third battalion, and three instructors all arrived.

Zhou Weihan looked at the people in front of him, then smiled, and said to Roger who was beside him, "This is the political commissar of your garrison regiment, come and get to know each other!"

Roger took the initiative to get acquainted with everyone, and then the scene cooled down.

Except for the second battalion commander Zhang Zhiming, the other two battalion commanders didn't seem to like the new political commissar very much.

At the critical moment, Li Dacai came out to smooth things over again: "Oh, political commissar, I miss you so much, our garrison regiment really needs a political commissar!"

Magnet's bull's eyes were wide open, staring at Roger.

"Stone, what do you mean, look at the little devil?" Zhou Weihan asked intentionally.

"Hey, no, I, I just want to see what the political commissar looks like!" Magnet immediately put on a smiling face.

"I know that you kid likes to dig into the horns of the dead, and you still have the strength, but let me tell you in advance, don't make your political commissar angry with me in the future, or I will deal with you!"

"Yes, yes, I can't, I can't!"

The magnet looks stupid, but it is actually smart when it should be smart.
