Time passed quickly, and soon, it was November 1st.
These few days, the Japanese had been searching for Zhou Weiguo and the others everywhere. However, other than being exhausted, they could be said to have found nothing else.
The Japanese gained nothing, but Zhou Weiguo continued to do his own thing.
At this moment, there were seventy to eighty puppet soldiers and fifty to sixty bandits on the grain-beating ground, surrounded by the main forces of Clear Wind Camp.
Needless to say, those puppet soldiers were naturally captured by Zhou Weiguo a few days ago. As for the fifty to sixty bandits, they were the bandits of Guitou Mountain.
Now, they were all gathered on the grain-crushing field. Zhou Weiguo stood in front with his hands behind his back and swept his gaze across them.
"All of you are very confused as to why I gathered all of you here.”
Zhou Weiguo spoke. That's right! The puppet soldiers were puzzled, and so were the bandits on Guitou Mountain.
They had promised to accept Zhou Weiguo's recruitment, but during this period of time, Zhou Weiguo had not asked them to do anything, nor did he allow them to leave Zhao Village. As for the puppet soldiers, they were all locked up.
Previously, they had been worried that these bandits would kill them all, but they did not expect to be gathered here today.
"You don't have to guess. I can tell you clearly. Today, I gathered all of you here to invite you to join Clear Wind Camp and fight the devils with us.”
As Zhou Weiguo spoke, he walked into the crowd with his hands behind his back. As he walked, he said to the bandits of Guitou Mountain,""In the past, you said that you went up the mountain to become bandits just to survive.
I used to believe it, but now I don't. " The country is in danger, and the Japanese are invading China. As a man, if you can't fight on the battlefield, fight for the country, fight for the people, and fight for the survival of the nation, you can be a man.
When you die in the future, will you be able to face your parents? To face his ancestors? In the future, when you enter the underworld after you die and see your ancestors, when they ask you why you are not loyal to the country and why you are not fighting for the people, how should you answer?
When you see your relatives and friends who died under the Japanese army's guns and they ask you why you didn't avenge them, how should you answer?
Before the Japanese army attacked us, you said that you couldn't survive and wanted to go up the mountain to become bandits. I understand. Because I am also a bandit. But now that the Japanese invaders were wreaking havoc, even as a bandit, he had to be a patriotic bandit and a loyal bandit.
That's all I have to say. You can think about what to do yourself. I need people to fight side by side with me to drive the Japanese army out of Shandong and out of China. But I don't need those half-hearted people.”
After Zhou Weiguo finished speaking, he glanced at them and then looked at the puppet soldiers.
"The country is in danger, but you don't want to serve the country. Let me ask you, when you see your own compatriots, your own folks, being bullied by the Japanese army, do you feel at ease?
When you see your wives and children trembling under the iron hooves of the Japanese army, can you be at ease?
I had thought of killing all of you before, but then I thought, why not give you a chance to atone for your sins?
"You became a puppet army and brought shame to your ancestors, China, and your compatriots. But now that the country is in need of manpower, I can give you a chance to turn over a new leaf.
Join us sincerely, fight alongside us, and fight against the devils together. I won't say anything more. If you really want to stay and fight with us, come out. If you want to go home and farm, we will send you off. The Second Leader of Clear Wind Camp will never go back on his word.”
After Zhou Weiguo finished speaking, no one spoke. They seemed to be deep in thought.
After a while, a puppet soldier standing in front raised his head, but his face was already covered in tears. He looked like a small officer in the puppet army.
"Boss, is what you said true?”
"Naturally! Do you think I need to lie to you? If I wanted to kill you, I would have done so long ago. Why wait until now?”
Zhou Weiguo looked at him and said in a deep voice.
The puppet soldier turned around and looked at the puppet soldiers below.""Brothers, I was once afraid. In order to survive, I didn't dare to resist even if I saw my wife being raped to death by the Japanese.
Now that she thought about it, she felt that she really wasn't a man. When did the Japanese ever treat us as humans? Rather than being a dog for the Japanese, I might as well live an upright life for once. I've decided to fight with the heroes of Clear Wind Camp.”
The puppet soldier turned to Zhou Weiguo and said,""Second Leader, I'll fight with you! Fight the Japanese with you!"
"We'll fight with you! Fight the Japanese with you!"
"Second in charge, we've decided to stay and fight the devils!”
····
Men were all hot-blooded. When he was weak, it didn't mean that he didn't have any hot-bloodedness. It was just that his hot-bloodedness had been hidden, forcefully hidden by something.
Isn't it good to be human? Why did he become a dog? To do something that disgraced their ancestors?
In this era, being disrespectful to one's ancestors was truly disrespectful. Perhaps in the past, they had endured a lot in order to survive. But now that he thought about it, was it really worth it?
They swallowed their anger and endured everything that they should have suffered.
Zhou Weiguo smiled as he looked at the noisy crowd.
He turned to Zhao Shoutian and nodded before he left.
In fact, the people on the grain-pounding ground should be glad that they made the right choice. What they didn't know was that there were dozens of people lying in ambush outside Zhao Village.
If anyone dared to leave this place and choose to return home to farm, what awaited them was death.
Zhou Weiguo didn't dare to let them leave because if they told the Japanese about it, not only would he be in danger, but the thousand or so people in Zhao Village would also be in danger.
"Li Wu!"
Zhou Weiguo looked at Li Wu for a while and called out to him.
"Hey, Second Leader, what's the matter?"
Li Wu immediately jogged over.
"Haha! "I'll give you a mission. Bring them to the periphery of Zhao Village and start building houses for us to live in. It's not a good idea for us to continue living in the homes of the commoners. I'll only give you five days. After five days, the two hundred of us must have a house to live in, understand?”
It was different from the later generations when it was much more troublesome to repair houses.
However, it was much easier to repair a house at this time. It was just repairing a house! It could be built with stones, piled up with mud, and then used wood. Anyway, as long as there were enough people, the speed of construction would not be slow.
"Good! Don't worry, Second Head, it's just building a house! I can definitely cultivate it in five days!"
Li Wu immediately said with a smile.
Zhou Weiguo smiled and nodded before walking to Zhu Ziming.
