Chapter 78 The Law
On the first day of September, the People's Army officially raised the flag in the mountains.
On the tenth day of September, the People's Army divided into two groups and successfully captured Yong'an County and Haifeng County.
On September 11, Hu Zhuang and his people's army successfully captured Qianhu House in Haifeng. Before nightfall that day, Zhou Yi and his people's army were not far from Jiesheng Qianhu House, and the battle would break out soon.
His eyes turned to Haifeng County, which was controlled by the People's Army. After one and a half days of hard work, two-thirds of the wealthy families in Haifeng County had been confiscated, contributing a lot of wealth and large amounts of materials to the People's Army to support the development of the People's Army.
With one day and a half efforts, most ordinary people in Haifeng County have temporarily accepted the fact that the People's Army dominated Haifeng County. Some people recognized the People's Army, especially when they knew that many wealthy families in the county had been confiscated by the People's Army, which made more people recognize the People's Army.
In the eyes of the people, the People's Army is a very different army than the Ming army. The People's Army will pay for buying vegetables and food from the people, and there will be no shortage. They are also polite to the people when they speak. If it were the Ming army, it would be a very good situation if they didn't rob them directly.
"The People's Army is such a great man. Unfortunately, the Ming army is too powerful. Even if the People's Army can take over the county town, many Ming army will soon come to encircle and suppress it." The people with some knowledge sighed at the appearance of the People's Army. They did not think that the People's Army could defend the Haifeng County Town.
In the past day and a half, the wealthy families that the People's Army had never been in contact with were all worried. They could not eat or sleep, and they were afraid that when the vicious "thieves" would break through the door of the mansion and kill them all.
The Xu family is such a wealthy family. Xu Xinzhi, the head of the Xu family, "watched" the wealthy families around the Xu family being searched by the People's Army. Even though he was strong and pretended to be calm in front of his family, he was extremely scared.
The head of the Xu family did not believe that other wealthy families would not think of a way to exchange wealth for the life of the family. However, so many wealthy families had been searched. The head of the Xu family felt that he was waiting for death to come.
As the new day comes, I have a few bites of breakfast. The head of the Xu family sits on the main hall and continues to wait for death. Originally, his wife, concubine and children want to come to accompany the head of Xu, but they are all driven out by the head of Xu. The head of the Xu family does not want the sadness he unexpectedly shows, and is afraid that they will see the expression.
Not long after, most of the time, the housekeeper who stayed near the mansion gate and waited for the arrival of the People's Army rushed back.
"Master, Master, the thief is here."
Hearing this, Xu Xinzhi's mind was trembling, and he pressed his hands against the chair to stand up, and then asked the panting butler, "Have they rushed in?"
"No, the thief spoke very politely, saying that he had something important to visit the master, and was still waiting outside the gate." The butler replied.
What's the situation? Xu Xinzhi was a little confused. Shouldn't the thief come to search the house? How could he be polite to visit?
Xu Xinzhi couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it. Just look at the thieves who were gradually visiting. Everyone was trapped in Haifeng County, and everyone's lives were held in the hands of the thieves. With a slight pinch of the thieves' hand, the Xu Mansion was gone.
Trying to suppress the fear and fear in his heart, Xu Xinzhi tried his best to restore himself to his former aura as the head of the family, and walked towards the gate of the mansion.
When he walked to the gate of the mansion, Xu Xinzhi immediately said to the guards: "Go quickly and open the gate."
Several guards' calves were trembling all the time, and they didn't want to open the door. They thought that it was not far from death after opening the door, but they had to listen to their master's words, so they had to go forward and slowly open the door.
The door opened, and there were only seven people outside the door. One was a young man about twenty years old. He looked very ordinary and wore blue clothes. The material of the clothes was very ordinary, but Xu Xinzhi had never seen the style of the clothes. However, when worn, he gave people a very spiritual feeling. The other six were soldiers wearing shabby clothes with spears.
"Some of these bandits? First, then the soldiers?" Xu Xinzhi was still confused, but in order to save his life, Xu Xinzhi came to the door to greet the bandit himself.
"Little brother, my surname is Xu Xinzhi, the owner of the Xu Mansion. Are you here to find me?" Xu Xinzhi walked to Deng Qing and asked.
The owner of Xu's mansion came out to greet him in person. Deng Qing didn't feel much. He said according to his normal external words: "Hello, Master Xu, my name is Deng Qing. I am an ordinary official of the People's Military Government of Haifeng County. I accept the order of the county magistrate to come to Xu's mansion to do business."
Deng Qing's words were a lot of words that Xu Xinzhi felt unfamiliar. This sentence also made Xu Xinzhi feel a little relieved. It seemed that the thief did not want to confiscate the Xu Mansion, but he just didn't know what to do in Xu Mansion.
"Please ask for it in my little brother Deng Qing, and there is something to say in it." Xu Xinzhi reached out and invited.
Faced with Xu Xinzhi's invitation, Deng Qing nodded and walked towards the Xu Mansion. The six People's Army soldiers who protected Deng Qing followed Deng Qing to act together. Although Haifeng County has been controlled by the People's Army, it is impossible to determine how many rebels are hiding everywhere and cannot act alone.
Walking into the Xu Mansion and into the main hall, six People's Army soldiers stayed outside the main hall, Deng Qing himself entered the main hall and talked to Xu Xinzhi, and the two sat face to face.
"Master Xu, our People's Army is not a rioter, bandit, but a regular army. Haifeng County has been ruled by the People's Army. In the past day, many of the Xu Mansions have been disturbed. On behalf of the People's Military Government of Haifeng County, I feel very sorry that the People's Army is searching for evil people.
Not only were those who were investigated, there were wealthy families like the Xu Mansion, but also gangsters from small families. Our People's Army did not expect that there would be such chaos under the jurisdiction of Haifeng County. Please rest assured that the head of the Xu Mansion had not found out that the people in the Xu Mansion had committed evil deeds and would not attack the Xu Mansion.
This time I came to Xu Mansion because the Haifeng County area will implement the People's Army's laws. There is a large amount of farmland under the name of the head of the Xu family. According to the People's Army's laws, the number of farmlands owned by each person will be limited, and the extra farmland will be purchased by the People's Military Government and allocated to ordinary people without land." Deng Qing said slowly about his purpose of coming this time.
Listening to Deng Qing's words, Xu Xinzhi did not change much on the surface, but he was already sneering in his heart. No matter how nice Deng Qing said it, in Xu Xinzhi's view, the People's Army is still a thief and has to take away the farmland of the Xu Mansion. Xu Xinzhi does not believe that the People's Army will really spend money to buy farmland.
However, when Deng Qing finished speaking, Xu Xinzhi directly agreed and was willing to accept the laws of the People's Army. Xu Xinzhi was very worried that once he did not accept it, the Xu mansion would be confiscated. The farmland was now taken away by the People's Army, and the People's Army would soon be surrounded and suppressed by the Ming army, and the farmland would still be in his hands.
