Chapter 324 The Consequences of Victory

On that day, Xin once again displayed his ingenuity, instead of running from the entrance of the village, he jumped directly into a small river beside the village, and Fushui escaped from Shengtian.

In addition to the task force itself, the executive committee also dispatched a bandit suppression detachment to support the entire operation.In fact, most soldiers didn't even get a chance to fire, and the battle was over.Du Wen and Dong Weiwei were sullen in front of outsiders, but they were already in high spirits—this was a complete victory, and it was still under their own control!

After this battle, the deadlock in Daolu Village was completely broken.This victory not only lies in the elimination of the bandits, but also takes this opportunity to eliminate the family forces of several bandit leaders who have been entrenched in the Shisancun area for a long time.The work in Daolu Village is changing rapidly.The militia that Du Wen had been looking forward to for a long time was quickly organized, and the soil enclosure was also started. The village administration, which was not going well everywhere, immediately turned into a great situation of "ordering the whole village, and no one dares not to obey".Like dominoes, after one falls, there will be a chain reaction across the board.The work team's activities in other areas of Shisan Village went smoothly without any resistance.

Du Wen unceremoniously used the "iron fist of dictatorship", and first wiped out the bandits in the village-the cloth strip hanging on the door became the best identification mark.Those who were not killed, no matter men, women, old or young, were all tied up in strings with ropes, and escorted back to Bairen City by the detachment-there was an urgent need for hard labor.

"Take the children too?" asked the officer in charge of picking up and transporting the prisoners.

"Of course, take them all away. Let's go back and ask the executive committee for details." Du Wen was happy to carry out a thorough cleaning to get rid of all the guys she thought were problematic.As for how to deal with the children, let Wen Desi worry about it.

Du Wen originally planned to do the same for all the gangsters in Shisancun area, but was stopped by Dong Weiwei: "They didn't participate in the riot, so let's not do it to the end, let's leave a way out for them."

"Weeds must be eradicated! The family members of such bad elements are full of bad water, and will be full of factors of social instability in the future..."

"It's unnecessary, and it's too disappointing," Dong Weiwei insisted. "History tells us that engaging in a movement-style expansion will only backfire."

"But if you don't settle the case, magnanimity is harmful." Less than 5 minutes after the two women embraced for victory, a new round of quarrel began.

In the end, the two sides reached a compromise, and Du Wen began to spare no effort in promoting the campaign of "entering villages and households, digging out the root cause, and everyone passing the border" in every village.Every day, she took the newly formed Daolu village soldiers and some guards to various villages: holding meetings, forming militias, clearing household registration, ordering the bandits and bandit families who fled home to register and surrender, and checking the property that the bandit family members had fortified and food.

Because the villages did not participate in Xin Nari's counterattack and had no other connection with the bandits, the final treatment was much lighter than that of Daolu Village. Only a few bandits with blood debts were liquidated. If you get property and food by looting, you can let it go without a bond.Then it was announced at the village meeting: Those who had minor experience as bandits in the past and helped bandits transport stolen goods, as long as they did not participate in this counter-offensive and had no public outrage, they would all be pardoned; the money, food, and property distributed in the past would not need to be returned. It's -- these people have limited gains, and they have been going on for a long time, and the investigation is endless, which is not conducive to quickly calming people's hearts.

It was indeed a wise decision to assign Dong Weiwei to be the deputy captain. Although Dong Weiwei kept arguing with Du Wen about specific matters, it effectively reduced Du Wen's enthusiasm for mass movements. Generally speaking, things went on in a relatively moderate and orderly manner.Nothing drastic happened.Wu De, who was originally interested in sending two women to work in a work team, now also casts all his eyes on Ma Qian.

"The Duke is worthy of being the Duke." He said such a sentence in the bar on the farm.

Confiscated houses, fields and property, Du Wen originally wanted to take the opportunity to carry out a small-scale land reform and divide the land.But this matter was intercepted by the special commissioner sent by the Planning Commission.

"These are the spoils of war, and how to deal with them must be discussed and decided by the executive committee."

"Flies!" Du Wen muttered dissatisfied.Although the planning committee is in charge of the most respected and beloved committee member Ma, the people under him really make most people lack of favor.Whether it's distributing supplies in normal times or receiving supplies after a battle, this group of people has played the characteristics of pennies and pennies -- and they can always appear at every place where there is a major harvest at the fastest speed.

Digging three feet from the village took out a lot of goods, but not much food.The planning committee left a part for the work team to provide relief in the village. Every household in the village distributed some food and money. They had been harmed by bandits, and families who died had extra money for pensions.

Lu Ruohua made a big sign of the cross on the street, and led people to collect the body, with a look of compassion on his face.But he was the biggest contributor to this victory.In her routine confession, Mrs. Mei told the story of Zhao Dachong meeting the couple to inquire about the situation of the work team, and finally she said that Zhao Dachong asked old man Mei to be a spy.

Lu Ruohua knew that the matter was serious, so he asked Bai Duolu to discuss it.It stands to reason that what the confessor said should not be disclosed to a third party, but the Jesuits have long been exempted in this regard.Bai Duolu hurriedly reported the information to Dong Weiwei.

That night, the work team called Old Man Mei for questioning.The old man Mei, who was half-dead from fright, hastily said everything.According to the information provided by old man Mei, everyone unanimously speculated that the gangsters were about to launch a counterattack.

At that time, Dong Weiwei sent a power to Bairen City, requesting to mobilize the bandit suppression detachment to support it, and if possible, encircle and wipe it out in one fell swoop.At this time, a member of the work team came to report: Liu Si has been absent-minded recently, often hiding in the ancestral hall, not even going to the house of Widow Zhou who used to help. According to the news there, something must have happened to Liu Si.

Liu Si, who was born in a country bumpkin, is no match for the cunning and shrewd modern people. Du Wen's half-truths and half-fake words are covered, and the FBI's body language is a half-baked body language interpretation. Liu Si thinks that the matter has been completely exposed. He is not willing to be a bandit either.Under Du Wen's "benevolent temptation", Liu Si cried bitterly and knelt on the ground to repent, and confessed everything, even the fact that he was actually picking up girls when he was engaged in mass work.Du Wen has always looked down on people who mess with men and women, and at that time she really wanted to kick him in the crotch and "expel him from the party forever".But under Dong Weiwei's persuasion, he finally decided to let Liu Si "take the blame and make meritorious service"-after all, it is also a good opportunity to play the trick of Infernal Affairs.

Of course, for Liu Si, this achievement is not so easy to achieve.But Du Wen promised: after the successful suppression of the bandits, he will not pursue his affairs with women, and promise not to record the matter in his personal file.

As for the bribed property, it is naturally turned over to the public.Liu Si did not dare to argue.I had no choice but to act as his double agent honestly.

After the successful operation of luring the enemy, Liu Si also got a reward, and Du Wen talked to him alone:

"Xiao Liu, although you made a mistake this time, your attitude is good." Du Wen paused, and Liu Si quickly stood up, "Thanks to the organization for trusting me! I will definitely change my past, Make persistent efforts to contribute to the great cause of crossing..."

"Okay, okay." Du Wen waved her hand, "Your matter, merits and demerits are equal. As I said before, I won't pursue it again. But you have to explain to Widow Zhou. Just handle the marriage. Right. It’s always sneaky, and the influence of the masses is not good!”

"Yes, I'll choose an auspicious day..." He stopped immediately, Chief Du hated these things the most.

"It's fine to pick a date." Du Wen will be in a good mood now, so she doesn't care about these things. "Also, after studying the organization, since you are married to a local woman, you might as well stay here and work in the local area." Lu Village is a new district, you will be the head of the village!"

"Thank you for the promotion and reuse in the organization!" Liu Si stood up excitedly.If it weren't for the Australians who are not happy to kowtow here, he would have kowtowed a few times already.

"Let's work hard in the future, first do a good job in Daolu Village, and then we will gradually expand to other villages." Right now, the situation in Shisan Village is very good, and the next step of the work team is to conduct social surveys. There is no time to ask about specific matters.It shouldn't be a big problem to hand it over to Liu Si.

However, under the many favorable circumstances, there was also a sequela that made Du Wen dissatisfied: the number of baptized people increased greatly.From the original Mei family couple to the whole village, everyone rushed to the church to hear the truth and be baptized.Lu Ruohua was so happy that he thanked God every night.He also looked at Bai Duolu differently, Bai Duolu was miserable, and now he was "bombed" by Father Lu every day, asking him to make a vow to become a monk.

"With your talent and learning, your devotion to God and your contribution to the spread of the Gospel, the future Archbishop of the Diocese of Guangdong must be you, and you will also serve as the abbot of several wealthy monasteries..."

Bai Duolu thought to himself that Wen Zong wanted me to be the Bishop of Lingao in the past, but now that Lu Ruohua said that I must be the Archbishop of Guangdong, is it possible that the Pope will reward me with a red hat in the future?No, really wearing a red hat, according to Wen Desi's and his like's way of thinking, they will definitely spare no effort to make me the pope... Thinking of this, Bai Duolu feels guilty for a while, but he also yearns for a little bit.Then I thought that if I really become a priest, I won’t have a wife——I can’t say anything else, but I definitely can’t agree with this.

In the days when Du Wen was doing a lot to clean up the bandits, people were in panic, and every family was in a state of anxiety.Lu Ruohua lost no time in going to various villages in the area to preach the Gospel.This time, he was no longer alone—although the believers in Daolu Village were not very clear about the basic teachings, they had already opened the way for his missionary career. A group of middle-aged and elderly women wore crosses around their necks and followed Father Lu, Adopt the method of sweeping the streets from house to house, and engage in mass movement preaching of "everyone listens to the Gospel".

"Everyone should go deep into every household, go to the fields, and spread the gospel of God to every lost lamb." Lu Ruohua said to a group of middle-aged and elderly women with pious eyes and a pocket full of missionary leaflets .

His missionary group followed Du Wen's buttocks, moving around with the power of passing through the crowd.Many people ran to Lu Ruohua's place to ask for baptism in order to quickly establish a relationship with the Time Traveling Group, without even clarifying what God and the Holy Mother were.Bai Duolu's voice was almost hoarse.Once the mass-produced believers are baptized, they immediately ask for a cross to hang around their necks, and some people simply receive several and hang one on the gate.The cross that Lu Ruohua brought with him soon disappeared.Hurry up and write back to Macau to ask for a large order.

Du Wen was furious, and repeatedly wanted to expel the foreign monk to draw a clear line.But it is undeniable that the teachings of "forgiveness" and "benevolence" taught by foreign monks have played a role in stabilizing the society.Under Dong Weiwei's persuasion, she finally endured it.Besides, most of the missionaries who came here were middle-aged and elderly women, and it was inconvenient for her to order people to be violent.

During this missionary activity, Lu Ruohua also developed the first batch of "nuns": some middle-aged and elderly women who are lonely and widowed, who want to become monks and cultivate the afterlife after going through these turmoil.There are not many big temples in Lingao, not even nunneries.This new foreign religion appeared just at the right time, the foreign monks speak kindly, can sing nice songs, and there are many beautiful pictures——Lu Ruohua removed the advertisement pages that Bai Duolu used to wrap the books with him for several real estate advertisements .After being described by him about heaven and resurrection, someone asked to be a "foreign nun".

Lu Ruohua simply took them in and temporarily counted them as church staff.At least in the future, someone will do chores such as cleaning, cooking, and laundry in the church.

On this day, Lu Ruohua found Bai Duolu.

"Has your monastery been established?"

Bai Duolu was tongue-tied, the so-called church in Australia is nothing but air.Where did the monastery come from.He had no choice but to shirk: "There is no monastery in the local area."

"Let's set up a school. There are many lambs here. You must choose the path of serving the Lord for life." Lu Ruohua made a sign of the cross, "Please go and discuss with He Ying."

After He Ying received Bai Duolu's telegram, he didn't dare to be negligent. This matter involved the issue of future religious power, so he hurried to the executive committee for instructions.

"What do you think?" Wen Desi asked He Ying.

According to He Ying's social experience in another time and space, one must say: "I have the same opinion as you." But this is not necessary here.

"Do it," He Ying said, "after this bandit suppression, there must be many orphans left by bandits in various villages. We cannot kill these children, and it would be a disaster to keep them for education. It is better to let the monastery adopt and raise them. Not wasting resources, but also brainwashing by the way, using hell to control them after death, isn’t it more effective than us using knives and guns? Kill two birds with one stone.”
