Old Li cut Chen Qizhong with a knife. Now, the people loved and feared Old Li. However, Zhao Gang was a little unhappy because he wanted to figure out the truth first.
"Old Li, aren't you treating human lives a little too lightly by doing this?”
Zhao Gang looked at Li Yunlong unhappily. Li Yunlong knew that this matter could be serious, but he didn't think he was wrong.
"Old Zhao, I know what you want to say, but this is a critical period.”
Old Li clearly felt that Zhao Gang was being dogmatic on this matter. Perhaps in peaceful times, this case would take a long time. But now was the time of the War of Resistance. Human lives were like grass, so there was no time to talk about them.
"Alright, but I hope that the conflict won't escalate. After all, if we want to gain a foothold here, we still need the help of the commoners.”
Li Yunlong understood what Zhao Gang meant by 'commoners.' They represented the landlord class. Zhao Gang had never been exposed to the Soviet Union, so he didn't understand what the real class was.
"Old Zhao, there are some things we need to clarify. I know what you're worried about, but you don't want to know who we represent. Baldy Jiang represents the big landlord and big capitalist class, while we represent the toiling masses. Therefore, we have to use a small portion of the benefits to satisfy the interests of the majority. This is a kind of benefit re-distribution.”
Li Yunlong told Zhao Gang a lot of things, and these things were all Old Ma's. Fortunately, Zhao Gang was not a stubborn person. In the end, he gradually understood Old Li's intentions.
In Chen Zhong's courtyard, Old Li sat in the middle and Zhao Gang sat beside him. The other 12 independent regiments 'old backbones were sitting below, each of them looking at Old Li excitedly.
"Comrades, this is our first regular meeting. The theme of our meeting this time is to determine our party's constitution. Everyone should also understand the purpose of our party. Our Party's purpose is to represent the interests of the overwhelming majority of the people. We must defeat all the evil gentry and local tyrants.”
"Kill them all."
The twelve people below all responded. To be honest, Old Li was now a god-like existence in their eyes. Originally, they only had a dozen people and eight or nine guns, but in just a few days, their team had more than a hundred people and more weapons.
"Alright, now let's invite our political commissar to speak.”
"Comrades, as a team of the people, we must abide by the rules of our party. I summarized the three main disciplines and eight points to take note of: 1. Obey all orders; 2. Don't take a needle or a thread from the masses; 3. Return all seized goods to the public. The eight points to note are: 1. Speak amicably;2. Deal fairly; 3. Return borrowed things;4. Pay for damaged things; 5. Don't hit or scold people; 6. Don't damage crops; 7. Don't tease women; 8. Don't abuse captives. Do you understand?"
"Understood."
"Alright, this will be the discipline of our party and our independent regiment in the future. Remember, no matter who breaks these rules, they will be punished. You will also be responsible for publicizing the rules so that the new comrades can familiarize themselves with him and use him.”
Old Li had actually come up with these three rules and eight points for attention. Of course, Old Li had even made them into a song. The song about the Three Rules of Discipline and Eight Points for Attention quickly became the favorite song of the soldiers of the Independent Regiment. It was not only catchy, but more importantly, it could make everyone love them.
He had to pay attention to his own discipline, and Old Li did not let go of the settlement of the landowners and tycoons. To beat the local tycoons and divide the land, this was the foundation of Old Li's ability to make a name for himself in Xisitou Village.
At this time, there were very few good people among the landowners, especially after they had been cleaned up by the Japanese. Eight out of ten landowners probably had a problem, so Old Li had a good reason to make a move.
As for those who were usually good, Old Li didn't force them. Instead, he obtained the land through the redemption policy. Of course, Old Li's price was not high.
A vigorous campaign to split the land among the local tycoons was launched, and the local people raised their hands in support. In just three days, under the guidance of the Independent Regiment, they had beheaded more than 30 landowners with misdeeds, and more than 50 landowners had been convicted.
Old Li had seized nearly 30,000 mu of land in the entire Xisitou township, which already accounted for half of the land in Xisitou township. Old Li distributed the land to the local people for free. This made the people feel the real benefits that the independent regiment brought to them.
For a time, the reputation of the Independent Regiment in the entire Xisitou township had risen unprecedentedly. Even the villagers around Xisitou township looked forward to the Independent Regiment. This strategy of splitting the land with the local tycoons was too practical, allowing Old Li to control the entire Xisitou Village in a short period of time.
Old Li's Xisitou Village had 60 villages under its jurisdiction, with more than 30,000 residents. This provided Old Li with an excellent opportunity to expand the army, and the expansion plan of the independent regiment was also put on the agenda.
